1. Waiting On The World To Change
Me and all my friends
We're all misunderstood
They say we stand for nothing
And there's no way we ever could
Now we see everything that's going wrong
With the world and those who lead it
We just feel like we don't have the means
To rise above and beat it
So we keep waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change
It's hard to beat the system When we're standing at a distance So we keep waiting Waiting on the world to change
Now, if we had the power To bring our neighbors home from war They would have never missed a Christmas No more ribbons on their door And when you trust your television What you get is what you got Cause when they own the information They can bend it all they want
That's why we're waiting Waiting on the world to change We keep on waiting Waiting on the world to change
It's not that we don't care,
We just know that the fight ain't fair
So we keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We're still waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change
One day our generation
Is gonna rule the population
So we keep on waiting Waiting on the world to change No we keep on waiting Waiting on the world to change
2. I Don't Trust Myself (With Loving You)
No, I'm not the man I used to be lately
See, you met me at an interesting time And if my past is any sign of your future You should be warned before I let you inside
Hold on to whatever you find, baby Hold on to whatever will get you through Hold on to whatever you find, baby I don't trust myself with loving you
I will beg my way into your garden And then I'll break my way out when it rain! Just to get back to the place where I started So I can want you back all over again (I don't really understand)
Hold on to whatever you find, baby
Hold on to whatever will get you through Hold on to whatever you find, baby I don't trust myself with loving you
Who do you love?
Girl I see through your love Who do you love?
Me or the thought of me?
Hold on to whatever you find, baby Hold on to whatever will get you through Hold on to whatever you find, baby I don't trust myself with loving you
3. Belief
Is there anyone who
Ever remembers changing their mind from
The paint on a sign?
Is there anyone who really recalls
Ever breaking rank at all
For something someone yelled real loud one time
Everyone believes
In how they think it ought to be
Everyone believes
And they're not going easily
Belief is a beautiful armor
But makes for the heaviest sword
Like punching under water
You never can hit who you're trying for
Some need the exhibition
And some have to know they tried
It's the chemical weapon
For the war that's raging on inside
Everyone believes
From emptiness to everything
Everyone believes
And no one's going quietly
We're never gonna win the world We're never gonna stop the war We're never gonna beat this If belief is what we're fighting for
What puts a hundred thousand children in the sand?
Belief can.
Belief can.
What puts the folded flag inside his mother's hand?
Belief can.
Belief can.
4. Gravity
Gravity
Is working against me
And gravity
Wants to bring me down
I'll never know what makes this man With all the love that his heart can stand Dream of ways to throw it all away
Gravity
Is working against me
And gravity
Wants to bring me down
Twice as much ain't twice as good
And can't sustain like one-half could
It's wanting more that's gonna send me to my knees
Gravity
Stay the hell away from me
Gravity
Has taken better men than me
Now how can that be?
Just keep me where the light is
Keep me where the light is
5. The Heart Of Life
I hate to see you cry Lying there in that position There's things you need to hear So turn off your tears And listen
Pain throws your heart to the ground Love turns the whole thing around No it wont all go the way it should But I know the heart of life is good
You know, it's nothing new Bad news never had good timing But then, the circle of your friends Will defend the silver lining
Pain throws your heart to the ground Love turns the whole thing around No it won't all go the way it should But I know the heart of life is good
Pain throws your heart to the ground Love turns the whole thing around Fear is a friend who's misunderstood But I know the heart of life is good
I know it's good
6. Vultures
Some of us
We're hardly ever here
The rest of us were born to disappear
How do I stop myself from being just a number?
How will I hold my head to keep from going under?
Down to the wire
I wanted water but I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes to take me even higher
Then I'll come through like I do
When the world keeps testing me, testing me, testing me
How did they find me here?
What do they want from me?
All of these vultures hiding right outside my door
I hear them whispering
They're trying to ride it out
They've never gone this long without a kill before
Down to the wire
I wanted water but I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes to take me even higher
Then I'll come through like I do
When the worltf keeps testing me, testing me, testing me
Wheels up
I've got to leave this evening
I can't seem to shake these vultures off of my trail
Power is made by power being taken
So I keep on running to protect my situation
Down to the wire
I wanted water but I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes to take me even higher
Then I'll come through like I do
When the world keeps testing me, testing me, testing me
7. Stop This Train
No I'm not colorblind
I know the world is black and white
I try to keep an open mind
But I just can't sleep on this tonight
Stop this train
I want to get off
And go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't
But honestly, won't someone stop this train?
Don't know how else to say it I don't want to see my parents go One generation's length away From fighting life out on my own
Stop this train
I want to get off
And go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't
But honestly, won't someone stop this train?
So scared of getting older
I'm only good at being young
Sol play the numbers game
To find a way to say that life has just begun
Had a talk with my old man Said "help me understand" He said "turn sixty-eight" "You'll renegotiate"
"Don't stop this train
Don't for a minute change the place you're in
And don't think I couldn't ever understand
I tried my hand
John, honestly we'll never stop this train"
Once in a while, when it's good
It'll feel like it should
And they're all still around
And you're still safe and sound
And you don't miss a thing
Till you cry when you're driving away in the dark
Singing
Stop this train
I want to get off
And go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't
Cause now I see I'll never stop this train
8. Slow Dancing In A Burning Room
It's nofra silly little moment
It's not the storm before the calm This is the deep and dying breath Of this love that we've been working on
Can't seem to hold you like I want to So I can feel you in my arms Nobody's gonna come and save you We pulled too many false alarms
We're going down
And you can see it, too
We're going down
And you know that we're doomed
My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room
I was the one you always dreamed of You were the one I tried to draw How dare you say it's nothing to me? Baby, you're the only light I ever saw I'll make the most of all the sadness You'll be a bitch because you can You'll try to hit me just to hurt me So you leave me feeling dirty Cause you can't understand
We're going down
And you can see it, too
We're going down
And you know that we're doomed
My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room
Go cry about it, why don't you?
My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room
Don't you think we oughta know by now?
Don't you think we should have learned somehow?
9. Bold As Love
Anger he smiles towering in shiny metallic purple armor
Queen Jealousy, envy waits behind him
Her fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground
Blue are the life-giving waters taken for granted
They quietly understand
The once happy turquoise armies lay opposite ready
But wonder why the fight is on
But they're all bold as love Yeah, they're all bold as love They're all bold as love Just ask the axis
My red is so confident that he flashes
Trophies of war and ribbons of euphoria
Orange is young, full of daring
But very unsteady for the first go round
My yellow in this case is not so mellow
In fact I'm trying to say it's frightened like me
And all these emotions of mine keep holding me from
Giving my life to a rainbow like you
I'm bold, bold as love
Yeah I'm bold, bold as love
I'm bold, bold as love
Just ask the axis
Yeah he knows, he knows everything
I'm bold, bold as love
10. Dreaming With A Broken Heart
When you're dreaming with a broken heart The waking up is the hardest part You roll out of bed and down on your knees And for a moment you can hardly breathe Wondering
Was she really here?
Is she standing in my room?
No she's not
Cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
When you're dreaming with a broken heart The giving up is the hardest part She takes you in with her crying eyes Then all at once, you have to say goodbye Wondering
Could you stay, my love?
And will you wake up by my side?
No she can't
Cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
Now do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
And would you get them if I did?
No you won't
Cause your gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
When you're dreaming with a broken heart The waking up is the hardest part
11. In Repair
Too many shadows in my room
Too many hours in this midnight Too many corners in my mind So much to do to set my heart right
It's taking so long I could be wrong, I could be ready But if I take my heart's advice I should assume it's still unsteady I am in repair
Stood on the corner for a while
To wait for the wind to blow down on me
Hoping it takes with it my old ways
And brings some brand new luck upon me
It's taken so long I could be wrong, I could be ready But if I take my heart's advice I should assume it's still unsteady I am in repair
And now I'm walking in the park And all of the birds, they dance below me Maybe when things turn green again It will be good to say you know me
It's taken so long
I could be wrong, I could be ready
But if I take my heart's advice
I should assume it's still unsteady
I'm never really ready
I'm in repair
I'm not together but I'm getting there
12. I'm Gonna Find Another You
It's realty over
You made your stand
You got me crying
As was your plan
But when my loneliness is through
I'm gonna find another you
You take your sweaters
You take your time
You might have your reasons
But you will never have my rhyme
I'm gonna sing my way away from blue
I'm gonna find another you
When I was your lover
No one else would do
And if I'm forced to find another
I hope she looks like you
And she's nicer, too
So go on, baby
Make your little getaway
My pride will keep me company
And just gave yours all away
Now I'm gonna dress myself for two
Once for me, and once for someone new
I'm gonna do some things you wouldn't let me do
I'm gonna find another you
We're all misunderstood
They say we stand for nothing
And there's no way we ever could
Now we see everything that's going wrong
With the world and those who lead it
We just feel like we don't have the means
To rise above and beat it
So we keep waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change
It's hard to beat the system When we're standing at a distance So we keep waiting Waiting on the world to change
Now, if we had the power To bring our neighbors home from war They would have never missed a Christmas No more ribbons on their door And when you trust your television What you get is what you got Cause when they own the information They can bend it all they want

It's not that we don't care,
We just know that the fight ain't fair
So we keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We're still waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change
One day our generation
Is gonna rule the population
So we keep on waiting Waiting on the world to change No we keep on waiting Waiting on the world to change

They've never gone this long without a kill before
Down to the wire
I wanted water but I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes to take me even higher
Then I'll come through like I do
When the worltf keeps testing me, testing me, testing me
Wheels up
I've got to leave this evening
I can't seem to shake these vultures off of my trail
Power is made by power being taken
So I keep on running to protect my situation
Down to the wire
I wanted water but I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes to take me even higher
Then I'll come through like I do
When the world keeps testing me, testing me, testing me
7. Stop This Train
No I'm not colorblind
I know the world is black and white
I try to keep an open mind
But I just can't sleep on this tonight
Stop this train
I want to get off
And go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't
But honestly, won't someone stop this train?
Don't know how else to say it I don't want to see my parents go One generation's length away From fighting life out on my own
Stop this train
I want to get off
And go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't
But honestly, won't someone stop this train?
So scared of getting older
I'm only good at being young
Sol play the numbers game
To find a way to say that life has just begun
Had a talk with my old man Said "help me understand" He said "turn sixty-eight" "You'll renegotiate"
"Don't stop this train
Don't for a minute change the place you're in
And don't think I couldn't ever understand
I tried my hand
John, honestly we'll never stop this train"
Once in a while, when it's good
It'll feel like it should
And they're all still around
And you're still safe and sound
And you don't miss a thing
Till you cry when you're driving away in the dark
Singing
Stop this train
I want to get off
And go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't
Cause now I see I'll never stop this train
8. Slow Dancing In A Burning Room
It's nofra silly little moment
It's not the storm before the calm This is the deep and dying breath Of this love that we've been working on
Can't seem to hold you like I want to So I can feel you in my arms Nobody's gonna come and save you We pulled too many false alarms
We're going down
And you can see it, too
We're going down
And you know that we're doomed
My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room
I was the one you always dreamed of You were the one I tried to draw How dare you say it's nothing to me? Baby, you're the only light I ever saw I'll make the most of all the sadness You'll be a bitch because you can You'll try to hit me just to hurt me So you leave me feeling dirty Cause you can't understand
We're going down
And you can see it, too
We're going down
And you know that we're doomed
My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room
Go cry about it, why don't you?
My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room
Don't you think we oughta know by now?
Don't you think we should have learned somehow?
9. Bold As Love
Anger he smiles towering in shiny metallic purple armor
Queen Jealousy, envy waits behind him
Her fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground
Blue are the life-giving waters taken for granted
They quietly understand
The once happy turquoise armies lay opposite ready
But wonder why the fight is on
But they're all bold as love Yeah, they're all bold as love They're all bold as love Just ask the axis
My red is so confident that he flashes
Trophies of war and ribbons of euphoria
Orange is young, full of daring
But very unsteady for the first go round
My yellow in this case is not so mellow
In fact I'm trying to say it's frightened like me
And all these emotions of mine keep holding me from
Giving my life to a rainbow like you
I'm bold, bold as love
Yeah I'm bold, bold as love
I'm bold, bold as love
Just ask the axis
Yeah he knows, he knows everything
I'm bold, bold as love
10. Dreaming With A Broken Heart
When you're dreaming with a broken heart The waking up is the hardest part You roll out of bed and down on your knees And for a moment you can hardly breathe Wondering
Was she really here?
Is she standing in my room?
No she's not
Cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
When you're dreaming with a broken heart The giving up is the hardest part She takes you in with her crying eyes Then all at once, you have to say goodbye Wondering
Could you stay, my love?
And will you wake up by my side?
No she can't
Cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
Now do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
And would you get them if I did?
No you won't
Cause your gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
When you're dreaming with a broken heart The waking up is the hardest part
11. In Repair
Too many shadows in my room
Too many hours in this midnight Too many corners in my mind So much to do to set my heart right
It's taking so long I could be wrong, I could be ready But if I take my heart's advice I should assume it's still unsteady I am in repair
Stood on the corner for a while
To wait for the wind to blow down on me
Hoping it takes with it my old ways
And brings some brand new luck upon me
It's taken so long I could be wrong, I could be ready But if I take my heart's advice I should assume it's still unsteady I am in repair
And now I'm walking in the park And all of the birds, they dance below me Maybe when things turn green again It will be good to say you know me
It's taken so long
I could be wrong, I could be ready
But if I take my heart's advice
I should assume it's still unsteady
I'm never really ready
I'm in repair
I'm not together but I'm getting there
12. I'm Gonna Find Another You
It's realty over
You made your stand
You got me crying
As was your plan
But when my loneliness is through
I'm gonna find another you
You take your sweaters
You take your time
You might have your reasons
But you will never have my rhyme
I'm gonna sing my way away from blue
I'm gonna find another you
When I was your lover
No one else would do
And if I'm forced to find another
I hope she looks like you
And she's nicer, too
So go on, baby
Make your little getaway
My pride will keep me company
And just gave yours all away
Now I'm gonna dress myself for two
Once for me, and once for someone new
I'm gonna do some things you wouldn't let me do
I'm gonna find another you
Ever remembers changing their mind from
The paint on a sign?
Is there anyone who really recalls
Ever breaking rank at all
For something someone yelled real loud one time
Everyone believes
In how they think it ought to be
Everyone believes
And they're not going easily
Belief is a beautiful armor
But makes for the heaviest sword
Like punching under water
You never can hit who you're trying for
Some need the exhibition
And some have to know they tried
It's the chemical weapon
For the war that's raging on inside
Everyone believes
From emptiness to everything
Everyone believes
And no one's going quietly
We're never gonna win the world We're never gonna stop the war We're never gonna beat this If belief is what we're fighting for
What puts a hundred thousand children in the sand?
Belief can.
Belief can.
What puts the folded flag inside his mother's hand?
Belief can.
Belief can.
4. Gravity
Gravity
Is working against me
And gravity
Wants to bring me down
I'll never know what makes this man With all the love that his heart can stand Dream of ways to throw it all away
Gravity
Is working against me
And gravity
Wants to bring me down
Twice as much ain't twice as good
And can't sustain like one-half could
It's wanting more that's gonna send me to my knees
Gravity
Stay the hell away from me
Gravity
Has taken better men than me
Now how can that be?
Just keep me where the light is
Keep me where the light is
5. The Heart Of Life
I hate to see you cry Lying there in that position There's things you need to hear So turn off your tears And listen
Pain throws your heart to the ground Love turns the whole thing around No it wont all go the way it should But I know the heart of life is good
You know, it's nothing new Bad news never had good timing But then, the circle of your friends Will defend the silver lining
Pain throws your heart to the ground Love turns the whole thing around No it won't all go the way it should But I know the heart of life is good
Pain throws your heart to the ground Love turns the whole thing around Fear is a friend who's misunderstood But I know the heart of life is good
I know it's good
6. Vultures
Some of us
We're hardly ever here
The rest of us were born to disappear
How do I stop myself from being just a number?
How will I hold my head to keep from going under?
Down to the wire
I wanted water but I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes to take me even higher
Then I'll come through like I do
When the world keeps testing me, testing me, testing me
How did they find me here?
What do they want from me?
All of these vultures hiding right outside my door
I hear them whispering
They're trying to ride it out
They've never gone this long without a kill before
Down to the wire
I wanted water but I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes to take me even higher
Then I'll come through like I do

Don't you think we oughta know by now?
Don't you think we should have learned somehow?
9. Bold As Love
Anger he smiles towering in shiny metallic purple armor
Queen Jealousy, envy waits behind him
Her fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground
Blue are the life-giving waters taken for granted
They quietly understand
The once happy turquoise armies lay opposite ready
But wonder why the fight is on
But they're all bold as love Yeah, they're all bold as love They're all bold as love Just ask the axis
My red is so confident that he flashes
Trophies of war and ribbons of euphoria
Orange is young, full of daring
But very unsteady for the first go round
My yellow in this case is not so mellow
In fact I'm trying to say it's frightened like me
And all these emotions of mine keep holding me from
Giving my life to a rainbow like you
I'm bold, bold as love
Yeah I'm bold, bold as love
I'm bold, bold as love
Just ask the axis
Yeah he knows, he knows everything
I'm bold, bold as love
10. Dreaming With A Broken Heart
When you're dreaming with a broken heart The waking up is the hardest part You roll out of bed and down on your knees And for a moment you can hardly breathe Wondering
Was she really here?
Is she standing in my room?
No she's not
Cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
When you're dreaming with a broken heart The giving up is the hardest part She takes you in with her crying eyes Then all at once, you have to say goodbye Wondering
Could you stay, my love?
And will you wake up by my side?
No she can't
Cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
Now do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
And would you get them if I did?
No you won't
Cause your gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
When you're dreaming with a broken heart The waking up is the hardest part
11. In Repair
Too many shadows in my room
Too many hours in this midnight Too many corners in my mind So much to do to set my heart right
It's taking so long I could be wrong, I could be ready But if I take my heart's advice I should assume it's still unsteady I am in repair
Stood on the corner for a while
To wait for the wind to blow down on me
Hoping it takes with it my old ways
And brings some brand new luck upon me
It's taken so long I could be wrong, I could be ready But if I take my heart's advice I should assume it's still unsteady I am in repair
And now I'm walking in the park And all of the birds, they dance below me Maybe when things turn green again It will be good to say you know me
It's taken so long
I could be wrong, I could be ready
But if I take my heart's advice
I should assume it's still unsteady
I'm never really ready
I'm in repair
I'm not together but I'm getting there
12. I'm Gonna Find Another You
It's realty over
You made your stand
You got me crying
As was your plan
But when my loneliness is through
I'm gonna find another you
You take your sweaters
You take your time
You might have your reasons
But you will never have my rhyme
I'm gonna sing my way away from blue
I'm gonna find another you
When I was your lover
No one else would do
And if I'm forced to find another
I hope she looks like you
And she's nicer, too
So go on, baby
Make your little getaway
My pride will keep me company
And just gave yours all away
Now I'm gonna dress myself for two
Once for me, and once for someone new
I'm gonna do some things you wouldn't let me do
I'm gonna find another you
We're hardly ever here
The rest of us were born to disappear
How do I stop myself from being just a number?
How will I hold my head to keep from going under?
Down to the wire
I wanted water but I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes to take me even higher
Then I'll come through like I do
When the world keeps testing me, testing me, testing me
How did they find me here?
What do they want from me?
All of these vultures hiding right outside my door
I hear them whispering
They're trying to ride it out
They've never gone this long without a kill before
Down to the wire
I wanted water but I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes to take me even higher
Then I'll come through like I do
When the worltf keeps testing me, testing me, testing me
Wheels up
I've got to leave this evening
I can't seem to shake these vultures off of my trail
Power is made by power being taken
So I keep on running to protect my situation
Down to the wire
I wanted water but I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes to take me even higher
Then I'll come through like I do
When the world keeps testing me, testing me, testing me
7. Stop This Train
No I'm not colorblind
I know the world is black and white
I try to keep an open mind
But I just can't sleep on this tonight
Stop this train
I want to get off
And go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't
But honestly, won't someone stop this train?
Don't know how else to say it I don't want to see my parents go One generation's length away From fighting life out on my own
Stop this train
I want to get off
And go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't
But honestly, won't someone stop this train?
So scared of getting older
I'm only good at being young
Sol play the numbers game
To find a way to say that life has just begun
Had a talk with my old man Said "help me understand" He said "turn sixty-eight" "You'll renegotiate"
"Don't stop this train
Don't for a minute change the place you're in
And don't think I couldn't ever understand
I tried my hand
John, honestly we'll never stop this train"
Once in a while, when it's good
It'll feel like it should
And they're all still around
And you're still safe and sound
And you don't miss a thing
Till you cry when you're driving away in the dark
Singing
Stop this train
I want to get off
And go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't
Cause now I see I'll never stop this train
8. Slow Dancing In A Burning Room
It's nofra silly little moment
It's not the storm before the calm This is the deep and dying breath Of this love that we've been working on
Can't seem to hold you like I want to So I can feel you in my arms Nobody's gonna come and save you We pulled too many false alarms
We're going down
And you can see it, too
We're going down
And you know that we're doomed
My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room
I was the one you always dreamed of You were the one I tried to draw How dare you say it's nothing to me? Baby, you're the only light I ever saw I'll make the most of all the sadness You'll be a bitch because you can You'll try to hit me just to hurt me So you leave me feeling dirty Cause you can't understand
We're going down
And you can see it, too
We're going down
And you know that we're doomed
My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room
Go cry about it, why don't you?
My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room
Don't you think we oughta know by now?
Don't you think we should have learned somehow?

So go on, baby
Make your little getaway
My pride will keep me company
And just gave yours all away
Now I'm gonna dress myself for two
Once for me, and once for someone new
I'm gonna do some things you wouldn't let me do
I'm gonna find another you
You made your stand
You got me crying
As was your plan
But when my loneliness is through
I'm gonna find another you
You take your sweaters
You take your time
You might have your reasons
But you will never have my rhyme
I'm gonna sing my way away from blue
I'm gonna find another you
When I was your lover
No one else would do
And if I'm forced to find another
I hope she looks like you
And she's nicer, too
So go on, baby
Make your little getaway
My pride will keep me company
And just gave yours all away
Now I'm gonna dress myself for two
Once for me, and once for someone new
I'm gonna do some things you wouldn't let me do
I'm gonna find another you
