Relient K Album

Here's the kick off.
Hope your not sick of relient k or all the songs we play.
Cause then you'll want to throw our cd away.

I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
Out of mind, out of state.
Trying to keep my head on straight.
I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
There's only one thing left to do.
Drop all I have and go with you.

Somewhere back there I left my worries all behind.
My problems fell out of the back of my mind.
We're going and I'm never knowing (never knowing) where we're going.
To go back to where I was would just be wrong.
I'm pressing on.

Pressing on, all my distress is going, going, gone. (pressing on, pressing on)
And I won't sit back, and take this anymore.
'Cause I'm done with that, I've got one foot out the door.
And to go back where I was would just be wrong
I'm pressing on.

I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
Out of mind, out of state.
Trying to keep my head on straight.
I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
Adversity, we get around it.
Searched for joy, in you I found it.

Somewhere back there I left my worries all behind;
My problems fell out of the back of my mind.
We're going and I'm never knowing (Never knowing) where we're going.
To go back to where I was would just be wrong;
I'm pressing on.

Pressing on, all my distress is going, going, gone
(Pressing on, pressing on).
And I won't sit back, and take this anymore.
'Cause I'm done with that, I've got one foot out the door.
And to go back where I was would just be wrong
I'm pressing on.

And to go back where I was would just be wrong
I'm pressing on . . .
On, pressing on, all my distress is going, going, gone
(Pressing on, pressing on).
And I won't sit back and take this anymore
'Cause I'm done with that; I've got one foot out the door,
And to go back to where I was would just be wrong.
I'm pressing on.

You look down on me, but you don't look down on me at all.
You smile and laugh, and I feel the love you have for me.
I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here, and we're gonna make it after all.

All the girls in the bathroom talkin
who they gonna take to the Sadie Hawkins
My ears are burnin but I kept on walkin
smile on my face and an air guitar rockin

Sadie Hawkins Dance
and my khaki pants
There's nothin better
oh oh oh
The girls ask the guys
it's always a surprise
There's nothin better
baby do you like my sweater?

Sittin in the back of my next class nappin
got up gave a speech then bowed to the clappin
Told a funny joke got the whole class laughin
think I got a tan from the light which was baskin

Sadie Hawkins Dance
and my khaki pants
There's nothin better
oh oh oh
The girls ask the guys
it's always a surprise
There's nothin better
baby do you like my sweater?

Scan the cafeteria for some good seating
I found a good spot by the cheerleaders eating
The quarterback asked me if I'd like a beating
I said that's one thing I won't be needing
And since I'm rather smart and cunning
I took off down the next hall running
Only to get stopped by a girl so stunning
Only to get stopped by a girl so stunning

She said, "You're smooth,
and good with talkin.
Would you go with me
to the Sadie Hawkins?"

Sadie Hawkins Dance
and my khaki pants
There's nothin better
oh oh oh
The girls ask the guys
it's always a surprise
There's nothin better
baby do you like my sweater?

Christians-- we're all afraid of fire.
We prefer to suck on pacifiers.
Baby pacifists, we're throwing fits.
We don't shake hands, we shake our fists.

We're cannibals.
We watch our brothers fall.
We eat our own, the bones and all.

Finally fell asleep on the plane
to wake to see we're going down in flames.

We're going down, down, down in flames.
We're gonna drown, drown, drown insane.

We see the problem and the risk,
but nothing's solved.
We just say, "Tisk, tisk, tisk,"
and, "Shame, shame, shame."

Finally fell asleep on the plane
to wake to see we're going down in flames.

Let's go!

Christians-- we mourn, the thorn is stuck
in the side of the body watch it self-destruct.
The enemy is much ignored
when we fight this Christian civil war.

We're cannibals.
We watch our brothers fall.
We eat our own, the bones and all.

Finally fell asleep on the plane
to wake to see we're going down in flames.

We're going down, down, down in flames.
We're gonna drown, drown, drown insane.

We see the problem and the risk,
but nothing's solved.
We just say, "Tisk, tisk, tisk,"
and, "Shame, shame, shame."

Finally fell asleep on the plane
to wake to see we're going down in flames.

Na na na na, na na na na.
Na na na na, na na na na.
Na na na na, na na na na.
Na na na na, na na na na.
Na na na na, na na na na.
Na na na na, na na na na.
Na na na na, na na na na.
Bana na na na, na na na

Let me pause to clarify
('cause I'm sure you're asking, "Why?").
I stand before you and proudly claim
to belong to what this song complains.

I'm part of the problem,
I confess,
But I gotta get this off my chest.

Let's extinguish the anguish
for which we're to blame,
and save the world
from going down in flames.

people make mistakes
we find that everything breaks
and it always is the same, gotta find someone to blame
and these errors that we make (cause we're all human earthquakes)
yeah, we made the hurricane, yet we're not the one's to blame

GO!

we point the finger even though it's not polite
we condemn the son of God (we're hoping two wrongs make a right)

(maybe) maybe it is them
or (maybe) maybe it is me
or (maybe) maybe it's Maybeline
or, maybe it's Maybeline
(X2)

people make mistakes
we took the apple from the snake
and it always is the same:
gotta find someone to blame
our reputations were at stake, but the guilt we could not take
America's gone done the drain
the president's at fault again.

the truth is, excuses are lame
accept consequence
accept the blame
we're all sinners
we're all unclean
maybe we're born with it

oh, what a lousy excuse for a car
one mile to go, but i can't push it that far
i think i've had enough
i think i'm giving up

saved all my money to buy a new guitar
then i got ripped off by the guy who fixed my car
i think i've had enough
i think i'm giving up

once again life's thrown me a curve, and it blew up right in my face
once again life's rattled my nerves
don't you see that i'm stuck in this place?

once again life's rattled my nerves, and it blew up right in my face
once againg life's rattled my nerves
don't you see that i'm stuck in this place?

all because, you're giving me a ...
breakdown (breakdown), breakdown oh oh
(repeat 8 times)

stuck on the side of the road
emotional over-load
stuck on the side of the road
emotional over-load
I guess he can destroy everything that i enjoy
but, i won't be the one he takes down
no, i won't breakdown

your giving me a
breakdown (breakdown) oh oh
(repeat 12 times)

Feelings, inside my head
I don't know, but I'm thinking about you
Understand coz it's so hard to tell you,
cause you already know
You already know
When it's twice as hard to realize
That I'm still trying twice as hard to satisfy
myself on my own
And I'm still waiting for things to change

Chourus:
I lay my life before you, and I'm not getting up
Father, how I adore you
Those words are not enough

Feelings, inside my head
I don't know, but I'm thinking about you
Understand coz it's so hard to tell you, coz you already know
Father, know I love you, and know I am wrong
Lord, please take my life
Make me your son
Make me your son

Chourus:
I lay my life before you, and I'm not getting up
Father, how I adore you
Those words are not enough X2

When it's twice as hard to realize
That I'm still trying twice as hard to satisfy myself on my own
And I'm still waiting for things to change

Chourus:
I lay my life before you, and I'm not getting up
Father, how I adore you
Those words are not enough X5

Am I at the point of no improvement?
What of the death I still dwell in?
I try to excel, but I feel no movement.
Can I be free of this unreleasable sin?

Never underestimate my Jesus.
You're telling me that there's no hope.
I'm telling you you're wrong.

Never underestimate my Jesus
When the world around you crumbles
He will be strong, He will be strong

I throw up my hands
"Oh, the impossibilities"
Frustrated and tired
Where do I go from here?
Now I'm searching for the confidence I've lost so willingly
Overcoming these obstacles is overcoming my fear

Never underestimate my Jesus.
You're telling me that there's no hope.
I'm telling you you're wrong.

Never underestimate my Jesus
When the world around you crumbles
He will be strong, He will be strong

I think I can't, I think I can't
But I think you can, I think you can
I think I can't, I think I can't
But I think you can, I think you can
Gather my insufficiencies and place them in your hands
place them in your hands, place them in your hands

Never underestimate my Jesus.
You're telling me that there's no hope.
I'm telling you you're wrong.

Never underestimate my Jesus
When the world around you crumbles
He will be strong

Never underestimate my Jesus.
You're telling me that there's no hope.
I'm telling you you're wrong.

Never underestimate my Jesus
When the world around you crumbles
He will be strong, He will be strong
He will be strong, He will be strong
He will be strong

[No lyrics]

Chillin' at the lair.
Snarf, me, and the twins.
My favorite feline is the one who wore cheetah skins.
Fighting evil, we drink milk, and we purr a lot.
Ask me to cross them, and I would say I'd rather not.
I'd rather not!
Thundercats Hoooooo!
Thundercats Hoooooo!
I'm Lion-O! I'm Lion-O!
I'm Lion-O! I'm Lion-O!

Thundercats Hoooooo!
Thundercats Hoooooo!
I'm Lion-O! I'm Lion-O!

Sword of Omens, come to me.
Your eye opens so you can see.
Fly from the sheath into my paw.
I am the greatest Thundercat of them all…

I'm Lion-O, I'm Lion-O!
I'm Lion-O, I'm Lion-O!
I'm Lion-O, I'm Lion-O!
I'm Lion-O, I'm Lion-O!

What have you been doing lately?
Your life could use improving greatly.
I just wanted to know what's going on,
but everything that goes is going wrong.

When I saw Justin he said he was just in visiting on spring break.
I said "What a surprise. You're one of those guys I haven't seen since 1998."
We talked for a while, and I tried to smile as he told me about his college life.
He parties Fridays through Thursdays (but not for birthdays).
He's acquired a taste for Miller Lite.

Pardon me while I throw up.
I guess some people never grow up.
What happened to the salvation you claimed?
It breaks my heart to see how much you've changed. (whoa-o-o!)
It breaks my heart to see how much you've changed.

And then there's Vanessa.
Her life got so messed up,
She just can't get along.
Her emotions they can't cope,
'cause she's lost all hope.
She can't see right from wrong.
Rationality left her (or shrunk with her sweater).
She's a fanatic.
She's over the edge.
She needs Lemon Pledge,
to clear those cobwebs from her attic.

Pardon me while I throw up.
I guess some people never grow up.
What happened to the salvation you claimed?
It breaks my heart to see how much you've changed. (whoa-o-o!)
It breaks my heart to see how much you've changed.

but everything that goes is going wrong.

Bored in the stable with nothing to do.
We make a game out of throwing our shoes.
Lead me to water, but not to the track.
Show me a saddle and I'll say, "Hey get off my back."

All in favor (all in favor) say "Nay!"
We like the flavor (we like the flavor of) hay.
We're gonna graze all of our days.
Until they take us away and turn us into glue.
Like Mr. Ed always said...May the horse be with you.
May the horse be with you.
May the horse be with you.
May the horse be with you.
May the Horse be with you everyday.

I trot by the fillies (they like me of course).
They all dig my band (yea I'm a rocking horse).
You gotta take off your spurs to ride me you know.
If you want me to stop then yell out "Whoa".

All in favor (all in favor) say "Nay!"
We like the flavor (we like the flavor of) hay.
We're gonna graze all of our days.
Until they take us away and turn us into glue.
Like Mr. Ed always said... May the horse be with you.
May the horse be with you.
May the horse be with you.
May the horse be with you.
May the Horse be with you everyday.

Should I start this song off with a question?
Or should I say what's on my mind.
(Add a cello here to add a sad impression).
Cause I'm not looking forward to leaving my friends all behind.
I didn't vote (though I'm not proud), cause I'm Canadian, and I'm not allowed.
Give it a go or throw in the towel.
Stand all alone or swim through the crowd.
No one around to help you decide.
It's time to make up your mind.
It's time to make up your mind.
By the wayside we fell.
He said, "It's my way or the highway to hell."
It's your decision, choose it well.
He said, "It's my way or the highway to hell."
Decisions we make; life's an election.
Precision we take, seeking direction.
But there's so many lies.
Unsure where we can look.
But we've got a guide- a really thick handbook.
No one around to help you decide.
It's time to make up your mind.
It's time to make up your mind.
Are you with me or against me?
Noticed you're sitting on the fence.
We wondered why you're not cut and dry.
You got to choose our side and live, or their side and die.
Which hand holds your soul?
Do you want to guess one?
If it scares you to death, may that be your lesson.
It's your decision, make it the best one.
And should I end this song off with a question?

(breakfast sounds)
Oh, uh, hey, good morning Timpani, uh, hey you know what,
I just wanted to thank you for this amazing breakfast...
The scrambled eggs and cinnamon toast; mmm, delicious.

I was just about
to quote Mark Twain
when I realized that
it's all in vain.

A twist of fate,
a twisted look of pain.
To defeat the wheat,
go against the grain.

I know
I know
I know
I know

I know what you've been through.
But there's only so much one can do.
Now the rest is up to you...
the rest is up to you.

The rest is up to you.
The rest is up to you.
The rest is up to you.

The rest is up to you.
The rest is up to you.
The rest is up to you.

Your mentor's become
your tormentor.
Give him the money,
but is it for rent or
will you get burnt for the countless time?

Your head starts to hurt.
You just close your eyes.

I know
I know
I know
I know

I know what he did to you.
But there's only so much on can do.
The rest is up to you...
the rest is up to you.

The rest is up to you.
The rest is up to you
The rest is up to you

The rest is up to you
The rest is up to you
The rest is up to you

This speech is merely words.
It's even worse because it rhymes.
Give me a minute or your time,
I'll have a minute of your time.

And I can't make this click.
And I can't tattoo your mind.
But you know this ain't no trick.
Take it or leave it all behind.

The rest is up to you (the rest is up to you)
The rest is up to you (the rest is up to you)
The rest is up to you (the rest is up to you)

(Gave my advice, done all I can)
The rest is up to you
(It's your life, it's in your hands)
The rest is up to you
(Why don't...)
The rest is up to you

Why don't you try to slow down?
Slow things down.
Slow things down.

'Cause I know you're hurting.
So put down your burdens.
Crucify your doubts and just reach out

Reach out to Jesus.
Embrace him.
Turn your life around to face him.

You'll find mercy,
you'll see
grace, love, and beauty
defined in his
face.

You'll find mercy,
you'll see
grace, love, and beauty
defined in his
face.

It's the principle,
it's the issue,
that your principal would dismiss you
Because you don't fit into that all-American box
That coffin created for creative thought

It's disgusting, his priorities
How we're entrusting him with authority
His gavel's gone down before he looked in your heart
He finished this racism before he reached the start

Jesus loved the outcasts
He loves the ones the world just loves to hate
And as long as there's a heaven,
there'll be a failure to excommunicate

(instrumental)

The world just keeps you at arm's length
Every week you work up the strength
to fight the flames that are hurled
Let your faith shine right through
You know it's the world versus Jesus and you

It's disgusting, their priorities
How we're entrusting them with authority
Their gavel's gone down before they looked in your heart
They finished this racism before they reached the start

Jesus loved the outcasts
He loves the ones the world just loves to hate
And as long as there's a heaven,
there'll be a failure to excommunicate
(Repeat X2)

A failure to excommunicate

Jesus, I pray
Take all my mistakes
Throw them away
Destroy them for my sake

Jesus, I call out 'cause I'm sorry
Because I fall so short of your glory
To the best of my ability
I'm practicing humility
And I lay myself before
'Cause less is more

All that I have
I lay before
With my pride on the floor
Cause to you less is more
All that I have
I lay before
With my pride on the floor
Cause to you less is more

I pour out myself
All that I am
You love me so much
That you fill me again
And may these words on my heart, on my lips
Somehow mean so much more than this

Jesus, I pray
Know what I'm trying to say

All that I have
I lay before
With my pride on the floor
'Cause to you less is more
All that I have
I lay before
With my pride on the floor
Cause to you less is more

I pour out myself, before you, oh Lord
I hold nothing back, 'cause to you less is more
And may these words on my heart on my lips,
Somehow mean so much more than this

Jesus, I pray
Just know what I'm tryin' to say

Jesus, I plead
Please purify me
Make my heart clean
Drench me with your mercy
Jesus, I pray
I love you, I need you
For the rest of my days
I swear I will seek you
To the best of my ability
I'm practicing humility
And I lay myself before
'Cause less is more.

So this is how the story goes.
I want everybody to know.
We love Skittles and Combos.
So bring some to our next show.

From our head down to our toes.
We love Skittles and Combos.
So if you want to see our faces glow
Just bring some to our next show.

Deny us Combos
Refuse us Skittles
I admit those words hurt a little
But we know it'll be okay
If you just send some our way

[spoken]
Mmm thats it mm it makes me hungry ha
It makes you hungry too
