Silverchair Album

We are the youth
We'll take your fascism away
We are the youth
Apologise for another day
We are the youth
And politicians are so sure
We are the youth
And we are knocking on death's door
Never knew we were living in a world
With a mind that could be so sure
Never knew we were living in a world
With a mind that could be so small
Never knew we were living in a world
And the world is an open court
Maybe we don't want to live in a world
Where innocence is so short
We'll make it up to you
in the year 2000 with...

Never knew we were living in a world
With a mind that could be so sure
Never knew we were living in a world
With a mind that could be so small
Never knew we were living in a world
And the world is an open court
Maybe we don't want to live in a world
Where innocence is so short

We'll make it up to you
In the year 2000
Build it up for you
In the year 2000
Make it up to you
In the year 2000
Build it up for you
In the year 2000 with you

Never knew we were living in a world
With a world that could be so sure
Never knew we were living in a world
With a mind that could be so small
Never knew we were living in a world
And the world is an open court
Maybe we don't want to live in a world
World who cares at all

We'll make it up to you
In the year 2000
Build it up for you
In the year 2000
Make it hard for you
In the year 2000
Build it up for you
In the year 2000
Make it hard for you
In the year 2000
Build it up for you
In the year 2000 with you

No more maybes
Your baby's got rabies
Sitting on a ball
In the middle of the Andes

Yeah, I'm a freak of nature
Yeah, I'm a freak

If only I could be as cool as you
As cool as you

Body and soul, I'm a freak

Try to be different
Well get a different disease
Seems it's in fashion
To need the coldsore cream

I don't really know
How to put on a 'cool' show
As boring as they come
Just tell me where to go

If only I could be as cool as you

Please die Ana
For as long as you're here we're not
You make the sound of laughter
and sharpened nails seem softer
And I need you now somehow
And I need you now somehow

Open fire on the needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires
What I need from you

Imagine pageant
In my head the flesh seems thicker
Sandpaper tears corrode the film

And I need you now somehow
And I need you now somehow

Open fire on the needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires
What I need from you

And you're my obsession
I love you to the bones
And Ana wrecks your life
Like an Anorexia life

Open fire on the needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires
What I need from you
Open fire on the needs designed
Open fire on my knees desires
On my knees for you

Erupt again ignore the pill
And I won't let it show
Sacrifice the tortures
Orchestral tear cash-flow
Increase delete escape defeat
It's all that matters to you
Cotton case for an iron pill
Distorted eyes
when everything is clearly dying

Burn my knees and
Burn my knees and
Burn my knees and
E-motion sickness
Addict with no heroine
E-motion sickness
Distorted eyes
when everything is clearly dying

Burn my knees and
Burn my knees and pray
Burn my knees and
Burn my knees and pray
[All my friends say]
Get up get up get up get up
Get up get up get up
Won't you stop my pain

E-motion sickness
[To idle with an idol]
Addict with no heroine
Good things will pass
It helps with excess access
Lessons learnt

E-motion sickness
[Lost no friendship]
[Corrosive head pollution]
Lessons learnt

Hate is what I feel for you
And I want you to know that I want you dead
You're late for the execution
If you're not here soon, I'll kill your friend instead

All the pain I feel
Couldn't start to heal
Although I would like it to

I hate you and your apathy
You can leave, you can leave, I don't want you here
I'm playing this pantomime
But I don't see you showing any signs of fear

All the pain I feel
Couldn't start to heal
Although I would like it to
This time I'm for real
My pain can not heal
You will be dead when I'm through

[Chorus]

Pain and execution
Put your hands in the air
Put your hands in the air
The air... yeah

I am, I am Israel's son
Israel's son I am
Put your hands in the air
Put your hands in the air

It's twelve o'clock, and it's a wonderful day
I know you hate me, but I'll ask anyway
Won't you come with me, to a place in a little town
The only way to get there's to go straight down
There's no bathroom, and there is no sink
The water out of the tap is very, hard to drink
Very hard to drink

You, wait til tomorrow
You, wait til tomorrow

You say that money, isn't everything
But I'd like to see you live without it
You think you can keep on going living like a king
Oohh babe, but I strongly doubt it

Very hard to drink

You gonna wait til, fat boy
Fat boy, wait until tomorrow

Need a change
Not to imitate
But to irritate
All the ones who hate

I may be late
Always seem to get the wrong date
Well, I guess it's fate

I live in a cemetery
Full of good will and integrity
You see, I have no specialty

Here's your warning
I'll give you click click boom

I live in a cemetery
I need a change
Not to imitate
But to irritate

I live in a cemetery

Could've been like before
Could've had to lock the door

Make your mind
Let the door, let the door swing
Only one
Only one to let the door

Wanted to pretend he's dead
Didn't have to pretend

All this and more
Makes no sense to me
All this and more
Makes me drown

Let me know if it's alright
Let me know if you just might

Millionaire say
Got a big shot deal
And thrown it all away but
But I'm not too sure
How I'm supposed to feel
Or what I'm supposed to say
But I'm not, not sure,
Not too sure how it feels
To handle every day
And I miss you love

Make room for the prey
'Cause I'm coming in
With what I wanna say but
It's gonna hurt
And I love the pain
A breeding ground for hate but...

I'm not, not sure,
Not too sure how it feels
To handle everyday
Like the one that just past
In the crowds of all the people

Remember today
I've no respect for you
And I miss you love
And I miss use love

I love the way you love
But I hate the way
I'm supposed to love you back

It's just a fad
Part of the teenage angst brigade and
I'm not, not sure,
Not too sure how it feels
To handle everyday
Like the one that just past
In the crowds of all the people

Remember today
I've no respect for you
And I miss you love
And I miss use love

Remember two days
I've no respect for you
And I miss you love
And I miss use love

I love the way you love
But I hate the way
I'm supposed to love you back

Need to ask a question
Calling out my name
Nothing seems to bother
Wish I had a clue

C'mon abuse me more I like it

Well I don't think you like me
Well I hate you as well
No one seems to like you
Wish I couldn't tell

C'mon abuse me more I like it
C'mon keep talking 'cause it's true

People dying for no reason at all
Age is no difference or if you're large or small

Families being torn apart
Doesn't have to be this way
Some people, just have no heart
It's happening every day

Pure massacre
Pure massacre...

Machine guns pumping, hearts thumping
Death is all around
People crying for freedom
No one hears the sound

[Chorus]

There's people crying
There's people dying
But someone's taken it all, yeah

[Repeat Last Verse]
[Chorus]

It's gonna be a pure massacre
Yeah!

(From Godzilla soundtrack)

I'm just another body down
Internal bleeding round and round
And all I can think of are ways to die alone
And all I can think of are ways to die alone
A portrait of my skeletal gain
Left selfish and hungry so feed me the pain
Escape reality with new pain
Then let the cycle start again

And all I can think of are ways to die alone
And all I can think of are ways to die alone

Dream of content, a pain filtered farm
All I can say.......

Dreams are bad when all they do is leave the truth behind
Dreams are bad when negativity's a state of mind

Dreams are bad when all they do is leave the truth behind
Dreams are bad.

There's gonna be a new race
Kids are gonna start it up
I'm gonna mutate
Kids are saying yeah hup

Yeah, Hup! We're really gonna punch you out
Yeah, Hup! We're really gonna punch you out
Yeah, Hup! We're really gonna punch you out
Yeah, Hup! We're really gonna punch you
oh yeah

Sick of waking up late,
Gotta get some control,
Kids are gonna mutate
From an endless roll

Yeah, Hup! We're really gonna punch you out
Yeah, Hup! We're really gonna punch you out
Yeah, Hup! We're really gonna punch you out
Yeah, Hup! We're really gonna punch you
oh yeah

Sick of secular time
Keeps faking us out
Kids are gonna reject
Cos now it's time to punch out

Yeah, Hup! We're really gonna punch you out
Yeah, Hup! We're really gonna punch you out
Yeah, Hup! We're really gonna punch you out
Yeah, Hup! We're really gonna punch you
oh yeah

One, two, three, four!

Welcome! Nothing short of anarchy
It's so hard to find out who you wanna be
Welcome! Nothing short of anarchy
It's so hard to find out who you wanna be - oh!

Go!

I couldn't find what you needed - ooh to be a double
A big pill but you know that you need a poison
Open, you need it but I returned the point of acceptance
How brave, your parades never do much

Violence!
Hopeless fight!
Call it straight!

Big black steel cap dealt rejection

Yeah, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Yay
Ugggh!

Please die Ana
For as long as you're here we're not
You make the sound of laughter
and sharpened nails seem softer
And I need you now somehow
And I need you now somehow

Open fire on the needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires
What I need from you

Imagine pageant
In my head the flesh seems thicker
Sandpaper tears corrode the film

And I need you now somehow
And I need you now somehow

Open fire on the needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires
What I need from you

And you're my obsession
I love you to the bones
And Ana wrecks your life
Like an Anorexia life

Open fire on the needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires
What I need from you
Open fire on the needs designed
Open fire on my knees desires
On my knees for you

I can't release you
You're a mad man
Need help to
Madman, Madman

You're tied to alcohol
It starts to take its toll
Madman, Madman
Oh, Madman, Mad

Mind filled with confusion
Your life's an illusion
Madman, Madman...

I need to get out
There's something wrong 'round here
I have no doubt
We're all really down from fear

Everything's dark
And I cannot find
What I've been looking for
So I have to say I'm blind

But he cannot see
But he cannot see
Yeah...

If you do
Shed a tear
Don't come to my place because I
I won't be here

There's no love lost between you and me
And that's the way that I like it
I wanna live life like a normal man
And I think I can, yeah

But he cannot see
Yeah, he cannot see, he's blind!
ohh...yeah...
ooh...fuck...yeah...alright...

I'm blind
Ohh, I'm blind

I live for yesterday,
No one cares or understands,
Don’t feel pain, I’m made of steel,

I can’t answer you,
If you ask me how I am ‘cause I,
I don’t know just how I feel.

I can feel oh...
Any pain you give me,
But I’ll take it and throw it away.

I’m a hypocrite,
But that’s O.K. ‘cause I do like it,
But I am careful who I burn,
I am free falling,
With no parachute at all but,
I don’t have any concerns.

I can feel,
Any pain you give me,
But I’ll take it and throw it away,
I will kneel oh...
To any king you give me,
But I’ll tell you what I'd say.

Why are you any better than anyone else?
Why are you so good?
Why are you any better than anyone else?
Why are you so good?

Why are you any better than anyone else?
Why are you so good?
Why are you any better than anyone else?
Why are you so good?

Hey!
I was so wasted
I was so wasted
I was a hippie
I was a burnout
I was a dropout I was out of my head
I was a surfer
I had a skateboard
I was so heavy man, I lived on the strand
I was so wasted
I was so fucked up
I was so messed up
I was so screwed up I was out of my head
I was so jacked up
I was so drunk up
I was so knocked out, I was out of my head
I was so wasted
I was wasted

Someday
I'll feel no pain
Someday
I won't have a brain
They'll take away the part that hurts
and let the rest remain

Fix me
Fix my head
Fix me please, I don't wanna be dead

Someday
We'll all be rich
Someday
I won't listen to you bitch
I'll turn up the volume
And you can hear all the shit we play just for you

Fix me
Fix my head
Fix me please, I don't wanna be dead
Fix it

We're not the first, I hope we're not the last
'Cause I know we're all heading for that adult crash
The time is so little, the time belongs to us
Why is everybody in such a fucking rush?!

Make do with what you have
Take what you can get
Pay no mind to us
We're just a minor threat

We're just a minor threat

Early finish, I was late to start
I might be an adult, but I'm a minor at heart
Go to college, be a man, what's the fucking deal!?
It's not how old I am, it's how old I feel

Take your time
Try not to forget
We never will
We're just a minor threat

We're just a minor threat

And that's a promise

No more maybes
Your baby's got rabies
Sitting on a ball
In the middle of the Andes

Yeah, I'm a freak of nature
Yeah, I'm a freak

If only I could be as cool as you
As cool as you

Body and soul, I'm a freak

Try to be different
Well get a different disease
Seems it's in fashion
To need the coldsore cream

I don't really know
How to put on a 'cool' show
As boring as they come
Just tell me where to go

If only I could be as cool as you

Death becomes clearer through bloodshot eyes
As a death from old age becomes nearer
Why can't the livestock be free?
When trading soldiers for steak

Learn to evolve with the new transition
To act upon a hypocritical vision
Discard the old - in with the new
Discard the old - in with the fashion

Learn to evolve with the new transition
To act upon a hypocritical vision
Learn to evolve, learn to, learn to evolve

Who's the bad guy? Who's the bad guy?
Who's the bad guy? Who's the bad guy?
Who's the bad guy? Who's the bad guy?
Who's the bad guy? Who?

Learn to evolve with the new transition
To act upon a hypocritical vision
Learn to evolve, learn to, learn to evolve

Bring on the ape farm
Demolish the monkeys
Drink up, drink up
Look down on junkies

A new hypocritical look and ambition
The time has come to make the decision you...
Drink up - drink up - look down
I'll hold it back. I hold it back

Discard the old - in with the fashion
Death becomes clearer through bloodshot eyes
Death becomes clearer through bloodshot eyes...
