All you want is
What you can't have
And if you just look around man
You see you got magic
So just sit back relax
Enjoy it while you still have it
Don't look back on life man and only see tragic

Because you could be better than that
Don't let it get the better of you
What could be better than now
Life's not about what's better than
You can be better than that
Don't let it get the better of you
What could be better than now
Life's not about what's better

All the time while you're looking away
There are things you can do man
There's things you can say
To the the ones you're with
With whom you're spending your today
Get your gaze off tomorrow
And let come what may

Because you could be better than that
Don't let it get the better of you
What could be better than now
Life's not about what's better than
You can be better than that
Don't let it get the better of you
What could be better than now
Life's not about what's better

All I know is sometimes things can be hard
But you should know by now
They come and they go
So why, oh why
Do I look to the other side
'Cause I know the grass is greener but
Just as hard to mow

Life's not about what's better than.

All you want is
What you can't have
And if you just look around man
You see you got magic
So just sit back relax
Enjoy it while you still have it
Don't look back on life man and only see tragic

Because
You could be better than that
Don't let it get the better of you
What could be better than now
Life's not about what's better than
You can be better than that
Don't let it get the better of you
What could be better than now
Life's not about what's better than

You light me up little girl, like the 4th of July
I love you more than every single star man in the sky
You are the best damn thing that ever happened to me
Want to take you home start making family
You are a damn fine lady like no other
Want to introduce you to my father and my mother
I'm so damn happy you want to be my lover
Can't wait to get you home and get you under the covers

Daniella be my cinderella
Won't you come around and be my baby
Daniella, don't you remember won't you come
Daniella
Daniella
Daniella

I remember the day I asked
Your parents for your hand
Nearly knocked them off their feet
They could not hardly stand
The same day I asked you be my wife to be
I said m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m marry me
I said I promise to love you and treat you right
Give you the proper respect you deserve
Every day and night
Give you good good lovin' 'til the morning light
And I promise we will never, ever
Ever fight, yeah right yeah

Now I don't want to argue I don't want to fight
And if there's something wrong yes you know I'm gonna try to make it right
I love you you love me we be one family tonight
So get right over here and let's get down girl funky tonight
'Cause you are my queen and there ain't no doubt about it
And if you want I'll tell the world yes you know I'll shout it
The way you walk, talk, move, yeah girl get me high as a kite
So get right over here and let's get down get funky tonight

Tonight

What's your name
Let's go back to when we first met back in 1999
Appreciate
Before you knew I was yours and you mine

And now I turn the lights down low and put the stereo on
Put on our favorite record by Aerosmith and Louie Armstrong

Take you to our living room dance floor and hold you tight
I guarantee you and me gonna get down funky tonight
I guarantee you and me gonna get down funky tonight
I guarantee you and me gonna get down funky tonight

What's your name
Let's go back to when we first met back in 1999

Before you knew I was yours and you knew you were mine

What's your name
Let's go back to when we first met back in 1999
Appreciate
Before you knew I was yours and you mine, yeah

All around I see raining
Things don't seem to go my way
God a dark cloud is hanging
And it seems to follow me

Boy, won't you just wake up
Hear the humming
This cool world is giving you
Better start running
Catch up with your life
Catch on up
Before the whole thing is through

Have you once have you twice
Have you even considered
It would be good for you
To go out and take another look around
You are just another white boy
Thinking your so hardcore
Go take a step out side and see what's shaking in the real world

Go take a step out side and see what's shaking in the real world
Go take a step out side and see what's shaking in the real world

But you don't know how my heart laments
I've Really got a good excuse to complain
My parents got divorced can't heal the pain
Now there is only cheap regrets
I guess that's just the way it be


Is it world, how I see me

Boy now you are really bugging
Really bugging
Yes you are bugging me
Can't you just shut right up
Your cup is overflowing
Overflowing
And you think it is too deep
You don't even know what side
You are vouching for
Boy would you turn your Gameboy off
Stop pretending it's you against the world
I am sick and I am tired
Of hearing you always say
I really got a good excuse to complain
My parents got divorced can't heal the pain

Go take a step outside and see what's shaking in the real world
Go take a step outside and see what's shaking in the real world
Go take a step outside and see what's shaking in the real world
Go take a step outside and see what's shaking in the real world
(solo)

Go take a step outside and see what's shaking in the real world
Go take a step outside and see what's shaking in the real world
Go take a step outside and see what's shaking in the real world
Go take a step outside and see what's shaking in the real world

I used to get high for a livingBelieving everything that i saw on my tvI used to get high for a livingEating all the bullshit food that they sold meI used to get high for a livingThinking that my destiny was out of my controlI used to get high for a livingThere's lots of different reasons and i'll tell you so
Super size, large fries, big mac, coca colaGo on man, pick your poisonSpeed, weed, ecstacy, LSDMan, it don't bother me cos we're all on somethingCaffeine, cigarettes, alcoholYou know i'm clawing at the walls trying to get my fixProzac, ADD tablets, coke, smackNow you know i am turning tricks cos
I used to get high for a livingBelieving everything that i saw on my tvI used to get high for a livingEating all the bullshit food that they sold meYeah, that they sold me
Escape, can't wait all trying to get awayFrom this place man that we're feelingCan't deal, can't feel what's real LyricsAll trying to conceal all this time we're stealingNo doubt, the route you're onCan't find the clout that you've been needing'Til then my friend you must contendWith the monster that you're feeding

I used to get high for a livingBelieving everything that i saw on my tvI used to get high for a livingEating all the bullshit food that they sold meI used to get high for a livingThinking that my destiny was out of my controlI used to get high for a livingThere's lots of different reasons and i'll tell you so
Got links of the cheneyGetting crazy, getting lazy with their foreign relationsStarting wars, closing doorsTrying to bring about one quicker, man, revelationsEconomic rational calling fouls with the workersJust trying to make it payCost cutting, head buttingBig business do what they like and you do what they sayWhat's wrong get along, just prolong all the thoughtsYou got going on, on the insideAppease, stand at ease, just try to pleaseAll the apathy that you're trying to hideHow now brown cowDid we get from this standing place......And now we're kneeling'Til then my friend you must contend with the monster that you're feeding
I used to get high for a livingBelieving everything that i saw on my tvI used to get high for a livingEating all the bullshit food that they sold meI used to get high for a livingThinking that my destiny was out of my controlI used to get high for a livingThere's lots of different reasons and i'll tell you so

There are things in this life I,
Would rather not sacrifice.
You girl I could not live without,
And you know there's no doubt that
All I mind's, losing you.

And I don't mind losing sleep,
Pray the lord my soul to keep.
I'll get plenty of rest when I am dead,
But 'till then wont you share my bed 'cause
All I mind's, losing you
All I mind's, losing you.

And now that I'm losing money,
There's nothing this life owes me.
I've been giving more than I can receive, but for,
For you there is no receipt so,
All I mind's, losing you.
All I mind's, losing you...ohh...

And now that I'm growing old,
Losing teeth and growing more.
Not as handsome as I never was but,
You loved me just because.
All I mind's, losing you.

There are things in this life I,
Would rather not sacrifice.
You girl I can not live without,
And you know there's no doubt that
All I mind's, losing you.
Oh, all I mind's, losing you.
All I mind's, losing you.

I'm in
and i'm out
Australian, and so the rest dont know what the hell i be on about but
from here
and there
i belong nowhere

it seems some men.....
and life dont seem to be the same.....
but all my life ive lived on the, outside
and now im in, but in nowhere

Nowhere man
Nowhere man
Nowhere man
Nowhere man

i love those forests but no long....
but i love to share just like the bullet likes to be free
flying through the air nowhere...

some where down deep inside, of me
i guess i allways wanted to, be part of the ....
but now ive found that in my, family
and now im happy just to be...

a Nowhere man
Nowhere man
Nowhere man
Nowhere man

and i say...

Fire in the sky outta the blue and into the red depths,
Time for you and I to try to fall asleep in the bed they've made us,
All came crumbling down tears in our eyes as it rained confusion the whole world has changed
But I don't understand how one can kill a man in the name peace, that's ridiculous
But I understand that I will defend my family, from both sides of misery.

Fire in the sky outta the blue and into the red depths,
Time for you and I to try to fall asleep in the bed they've made us,
All came crumbling down tears in our eyes as it rained confusion the whole world has changed
But I don't understand how one can kill a man in the name peace, that's ridiculous.

They say I colonize, so they fire from the sky and they come outta nowhere
Time for you and I to turn on the big screen see what's happening'
And as those children die, pawns in the game of collateral damage,
The whole world goes mad,
Standing your on quick sand, the more we fight we sink
And vengeance gives us hope, at least that's what we think, at least that's what we think. As we make amends on getting our revenge, We solved nothing now, to sad to look down
but with God on both sides, death is justified, wateva the name, and we all feel pain.

As those spirits fly,
to honor those who have past,
we got to get along, while the time still lasts
Burrying this has to be so we all can grieve
and feel all this pain and so we can live again, so we can live again but
as we make amends on getting our revenge, We solved nothing now, to sad to look down
but with God on both sides, death is justified, wateva the name, and we all feel pain.
But I don't understand how one can kill a man in the name peace, that's ridiculous
But I understand that I will defend my family, from both sides of misery.
