I want to live
I wish I was dead
I've got to close my eyes
I want to live
I wish I was dead

This feeling
Haunts me
Behind these eyes the shell seems so empty
Does anything live inside?

I want to live
I wish I was dead
I've got to close my eyes
I want to live
I wish I was dead

Life's cold
And it reaches inside
I reach to feel and to live
A desperate wish begins
And from the start
I can see the end

I want to live
I wish I was dead
I've got to close my eyes
I want to live
I wish I was dead

No, I won't believe that this is all
I'm not happy, I'm not free
No, I won't believe that this is all
Pay check to pay check
No, I won't believe that this is all
Every night I get drunk

I need action, won't take no more
It won't work out
It won't work no more
It won't work no more
no more, no more

Control for who? For what?
Reaction's Masochism
Control for who? For what?
I'm no robot, they can get fucked
Control for who? For what?
I need to live, I need it now

I need action, won't take no more
It won't work out
It won't work no more
It won't work no more
no more, no more

Right here
All by myself
I ain't got nobody else

The situation
The situation is bleeding me there's no relief

Depression
Depression
Depression is gonna kill me tonight.

Depression
Depression
Depression is gonna kill me tonight.

I ain't got no friends to call my own
I just sit here all alone
There's no girls, there's no girls, there's no girls
that(?) wanna touch me get away I don't need your fucking sympathy

Depression is gonna kill me tonight.
Depression
Depression
Depression is gonna kill me tonight.

Depression
Depression
Depression gonna kill me...

Everybody just get away
I'm gonna boil over inside(?)

They say
They say things
They say things are gonna get better
All I know is they fucking better

Depression is gonna kill me tonight...

Thirty-five dollars and a six pack to my name

Spent the rest on beer so whos to blame

I know it'll be o.k.
I get a six pack in me, alright!

They say Im fucked up all the time
What they do is a waste of time

I know it'll be o.k.
I get a six pack in me, alright!

I was born with a bottle in my mouth
Now I got a six so Ill never run out

I know itll be o.k.
I got a six pack in me alright!

Thirty-five dollars and a six pack to my name
Spent the rest on beer so whos to blame

I know itll be o.k.

My brother wants a ride
To the liquor store
You pity him
You pity him for what he wants it for

Miserable and thirsty
Always wanting more
Miserable and thirsty
Always wanting more
More, more...

It's now one-thirty
And we're all getting nervous
The store closes
The store closes at two
And there's not enough to last us

Miserable and thirsty
Always wanting more
Miserable and thirsty (thirsty and miserable, thirsty and miserable)
Always wanting more
More... (thirsty and)
More...

Thirsty and miserable, thirsty and miserable...
(Miserable and thirsty, always wanting more...)

Miserable and thirsty
Always wanting more
Miserable and thirsty
Always wanting more
More... (thirsty and)
More...

this fucking city is run by pigs
they take away the rights from all the kids

walk down the street, i flip them off
they hit me across the head with a billy club

nothing i do, nothing i say
i tell them to go get fucked, they put me away

understand; we're fighting a war we can't win
they hate us, we hate them. we can't win.

i go to court for my crime
stand in line, pay bail, i may serve time

understand; we're fighting a war we can't win
they hate us, we hate them. we can't win.

Gimme, gimme gimme gimme some more,
Don't ask, don't ask don't ask what for,

Gimme, gimme gimme gimme some more,
Don't ask, don't ask don't ask what for,

Gimme, I need some more,
Gimme Gimme Gimme, don't ask what for,

Gimme Gimme Gimme, don't ask what for,

Sitting here i'm a loaded gun, waiting to go off
I've got nothing to do but shoot my mouth up

Gimme, I need some more,
Gimme Gimme Gimme, don't ask what for,

Gimme, I need some more,
Gimme Gimme Gimme, don't ask what for,

Gimme, gimme gimme gimme some more,
Don't ask, don't ask don't ask what for,

Gimme, gimme gimme gimme some more,
Don't ask, don't ask don't ask what for,

I know that the world's got problems, i've got problems of my own.
Not the kind that can't be solved
that can't be solved. that can't be solved, that can't be solved.

Gimme, I need some more,
Gimme Gimme Gimme, don't ask what for,

Gimme, I need some more,
Gimme Gimme Gimme, don't ask what for,

Gimme, I need some more,
Gimme Gimme Gimme, don't ask what for,

Gimme, I need some more,
Gimme Gimme Gimme, don't ask what for,

It feels good to say what I want
To knock things down
It feels good to see the disgust in their eyes

Oh I'm wanna go wild
And spray paint the walls
Oh I'm wanna go wild
And spray paint the walls

I don't want to see the plan succeed
There won't be room for people like me
My life is their disease
My life is their disease

Oh I'm wanna go wild
And spray paint the walls
Oh I'm wanna go wild
And spray paint the walls
Oh I'm wanna get wild
And spray paint the walls

Keep me alive
Only you can do it
If not, you'll die too
And I'll see to it

Keep me alive
I rely on your judgment, baby
I got none left of my own
I don't know what I'm doing

I need to belong
I need to hold on
I need to belong
I need to hold on

Jealous cowards try to control
They distort what we say
Try to stop what we do
When they can't do it themselves

We are tired of your abuse
Try to stop us, but it's no use

Society's arms think they're smart
I find satisfaction in what they're lacking 'cause
We are born with a chance
And I'm gonna have my chance

Rise above
