Lyrics

01 WHO?
WHO WILL DRIVE THE VAN?
(WHO WILL DRIVE THE VAN?)
WHO WILL PAY THE RENT?
(WHO WILL PAY THE RENT?)
WHO FILLS THE TANK?
NO, NOT ME AGAIN
NOT ME AGAIN

02 WORST DAYS
NEVER FELT THIS BAD
WORST DAYS OF MY LIFE
THE WORLD’S GONE MAD
WORST DAYS OF MY LIFE
AND I CAN’T UNDERSTAND
WHY WE’RE HERE AGAIN
PLEASE
MAKE IT END

03 TIME
TICKING AWAY
THERE GOES TODAY
CAN’T GET IT BACK
TIME’S SLIPPING
RIGHT THROUGH MY HANDS
IT’S GOING WAY
IT’S GOING WAY TOO FAST

04 TOO LOUD
THERE’S A NOISE IN MY HEAD
IT’S LOUD ALL DAY
I NEED TO FIND SOME PEACE
BUT CAN’T ESCAPE
JUST TURN IT OFF
OR TURN IT DOWN
GIVE ME A BREAK
A WAY OUT
IT’S MUCH TOO LOUD
FOR F--K’S SAKE
MAKE IT GO AWAY

05 OUT OF YOUR MIND
ANOTHER DAY
ANOTHER LIE
JUST A PROMISE IN DISGUISE
YOU DON’T CARE
SO WHY SHOULD I
YOU REALLY THINK THAT WE’RE ALL BLIND
YOU’RE OUT OF YOUR MIND
OUT OF YOUR MIND

06 FACE GONE BLUE
FACE GONE BLUE
IT’S ALL YOU DO
SWIPE AND TAP
GOT YOU IN A TRAP
NOTHING LEFT TO SAY
LOST ANOTHER DAY
BREAK THE SPELL
CAN’T YOU TELL
YOU’RE A SCREEN ZOMBIE

07 WALK IN LINE
GROWING UP THESE DAYS
MIGHT MAKE YOU FEEL SCARED
WELL YOU’RE RIGHT
CAUSE NO ONE REALLY CARES
ABOUT YOU OR THE WORLD YOU GET
WHEN IT GOES WRONG THEY DON’T SHOW REGRET
THEY TAKE YOUR LIFE, YOUR BREATH, YOUR TIME
AND ALL THEY DO IS WALK IN LINE

08 www WORLD WAR WEB
WE THOUGHT IT MEANT PROGRESS
SUPPOSED TO BE FUN
WE BELIEVED IN ACCESS
FOR EACH AND EVERYONE
BUT NOW IT TURNS OUT TO BE THE WORLD WAR WEB
HATE AND STUPIDITY: THE WORLD WAR WEB
RULED BY DICTATORS, FOLLOWED BY HATERS
THE WORLD WAR WEB

09 HAPPY
WHAT’S HAPPENED HERE
IS THIS LIFE REAL
JUST WANT TO KNOW
HOW DOES IT FEEL
TO BE HAPPY AGAIN
TO BE HAPPY AGAIN

10 DON’T FIT
I DON’T FIT IN
I NEVER WILL
I WON’T GET IN
THIS BOX YOU BUILT
ALL THESE RULES
THEY MAKE ME ILL
ENOUGH FOOLS
NOT SHOWING GUILT
THEY FOLLOW YOU
PREPARED TO KILL
FOR YOU
FOR YOU

11 NOT MY WAR
NOT MY WAR
NOT MY FIGHT
NOT MY RULES
NOT MY LIES
NOT MY GUNS
NOT MY SIDE
NOT MY BOMBS
NOT MY LIFE
I WON’T KILL FOR YOU

12 SAME OLD SAME OLD
I’M STUCK IN A WHIRLPOOL
SPINNING, SPINNING AROUND
NO MATTER WHAT I SAY
WORLD IS SO COLD
JUST WANT TO BREAK OUT
AND GET BACK, GET BACK ON THE GROUND
WHAT IS WRONG TODAY
SAME OLD SAME OLD SAME OLD

13 IGNORANCE
SO MANY SUBJECTS
YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT
BUT THAT DOESN'T STOP YOU
FROM SCREAMING OUT LOUD
YOU HAVE NO IDEA
YOU JUST LIKE TO SHOUT
IGNORANCE
MAKES YOU FEEL PROUD

14 ABOUT TO SNAP
CAN’T TAKE
NO MORE
I’M ABOUT TO SNAP ANY MOMENT NOW
I’M PUSHED
TOO FAR
I’M ABOUT TO SNAP ANY MOMENT NOW

15 MUCH APPRECIATED
THAT SMILE ON YOUR FACE
JUST GAVE IT AWAY
THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR MAKING MY DAY
MUCH APPRECIATED
MUCH APPRECIATED
MUCH APPRECIATED
MUCH APPRECIATED

16 MY TREES
THE WIND PICKS UP
THE SKY TURNS GRAY
JUST HOLD ON
THROUGH THIS STORMY DAY
I’VE GOT MY EYE
ON EVERY BRANCH AND LEAF
DON’T FALL DOWN
JUST STAY WITH ME
PLEASE SURVIVE
DON’T FALL DOWN

17 DESTROY
COMES A TIME YOU REALIZE
YOU’VE SEEN ALMOST EVERYTHING
NOTHING’S REALLY A SURPRISE
OOH EEH OOH
BUT STILL YOU WONDER WHY
WE KEEP DESTROYING EVERYTHING
WHAT HAPPENED TO MANKIND
OOH EEH OOH

18 SOMETHING
SOMETHING ISN’T RIGHT
WHAT’S THIS ALL ABOUT?
SOMETHING ISN’T RIGHT
WE NEED TO FIND OUT
DOESN’T FEEL GOOD AT ALL MY FRIEND
DOESN’T FEEL GOOD AT ALL

19 AFRAID OF LOVE
YOU GET ANGRY OVER RAINBOW FLAGS
THEY REALLY TRIGGER YOU
YOU SAY YOU WANT TO PROTECT CHILDREN
DIFFERENT FROM YOU
YOU DON’T THINK IT’S OKAY TO BE
HOW YOU FEEL
SO YOU’RE PREACHING HATE
CAUSE LOVE’S TOO REAL
YOU’RE AFRAID OF LOVE
YOU’RE AFRAID OF LOVE

20 WHAT YOU GET
WHAT YOU SEE
IS WHAT YOU GET
IT WON’T GET
ANY BETTER NO
WHAT YOU SEE
IS WHAT YOU GET
IT WON’T GET
ANY BETTER NO
WHAT YOU SEE
IS WHAT YOU GET
