The Academy Is... Album

Pour yourself a drink girl, then make one for me.
We haven't even met yet, and I'm already sure that we won't.
..and I'm right back where I started.
The air in here is shaking every single nerve.
I'm trying hard to let go, but my heart, it won't let me love you.
..and I'm right back where I started. Right back...
Moving on up. We're walking on the edge.
Everyone here has demons in their past
Now move it on up. You're walking on the edge.
Everyone here has demons in their past now.

The only thing worse for you than you is me.
The only thing worse for you than you is me.
The life that I've chosen to live will take your heart and swallow it
The only thing worse for you than you is to make you wait for me.
And that's why we will never meet.

Lies are lies in everybody’s eyes
and I don’t believe you

When the summer is gone
It won’t be long
‘til someone’s got the fever creeping inside

When the city is moving in your eyes
and you’re a moving and you just can’t fight
That feeling, you said its the last time

Lies are lies in everybody’s eyes
And I don’t believe you
Lies are lies in everybody’s eyes
And I don’t believe you
Lies are lies in everybody’s eyes
and lies are lies

I can’t fight it, no I just can’t fight it
Can’t fight it, no I just can’t fight it now
When the summer is gone
It won’t be long until someone’s
Got the fever creeping inside

When the city is moving in your eyes
and you’re a moving and you just can’t stop
You just can’t fight it, ya

This is the last time
Lies are lies in everybody’s eyes
And I don’t believe you
Lies are lies in everybody’s eyes
And I don’t believe you
lies are lies in everybody’s eyes
lies are lies

Can’t fight it, no I just can’t fight it
Can’t fight it, no I just can’t
Well we all agree that we don’t believe
This is the last time
This is the last time

Well they promised you
Now you see the truth
This is the last time
This is the last time
This is the last time
This is the last time
And everyone’s got the fever
(lies are lies, lies are lies, lies are lies)
Lies are lies
(lies are lies, lies are lies)
Lies are lies in everybody’s eyes

Lies are lies in everybody’s eyes
And I don’t believe you
Lies are lies in everybody’s eyes
And I don’t believe you
Lies are lies in everybody’s eyes
lies are lies

Can’t fight it, no I just can’t fight it
Can’t fight it, no I just can’t
Well we all agree that we don’t believe
This is the last time
This is the last time
Well they promised you
Now you see the truth
This is the last time (times five)

When the summer is gone
It won’t be long until someone’s
Got the fever

My eyes can't believe what they have seen.
In the corner of your room you've stockpiled millions of my, my memories oh.
Oh Doctor, Doctor, I must have gotten this sick somehow.
I'm going to ask you a series of questions,
And I want them answered on the spot, right now.
Is it serious?
I'm afraid it is.
Am I gonna die?
Well son, death is gonna catch up to all one day,
But yours is coming quicker than ours, than ours.

Hold your head high heavy heart.
So take a chance and make it big,
Cause it's the last you'll ever get.
If we don't take it, when will we make it?
I make plans to break plans,
And I've been planning something big, planning something big.

I've never tried to make the best of my time,
When I thought that I had plenty of it.
Is this serious?
I don't know what to think.
Is it all a lie?
Well one thing is for sure
I'm taken back to the glory days
When we were kids without a brash or bitter thing to say.

Hold your head high heavy heart
So take a chance and make it big,
Cause it's the last you'll ever get.
If we don't take it, when will we make it?
I make plans to break plans,
And I've been planning something big, planning something big
So take a chance and make it big,
Cause it's the last you'll ever get.
If we don't take it, when will we make it?
I make plans to break plans,
And I've been planning something big, planning something big, planning.
Oh I'm planning, planning, planning
Hold your head high heavy heart
So take a chance and make it big,
Cause it's the last you'll ever get.
If we don't take it, when will we make it?
I make plans to break plans,
And I've been planning something big, planning something big
So take a chance and make it big,
Cause it's the last you'll ever get.
If we don't take it, when will we make it?
I make plans to break plans,
And I've been planning something big, planning something big, planning.
Oh I'm planning.

[Originally by John Lennon]

As soon as you're born they make you feel small
By giving you no time, instead of at all
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all

A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

They hit you at home and they hurt you at school
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow the rules

A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

They've tortured and scared you for twenty-odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
Till you can't really function,
You're so full of fear

A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

Keep you doped with religion, sex and TV
You think you're so clever, and classless and free
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see

A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

There's room at the top
I am telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile while you kill
If you want to be like all the folks on the hill

A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

Well, if you want to be a hero then just follow me
If you want to be a hero, well just follow me

Out of the box, out of the kitchen.
Out of the world she's grown so fearful oh, so fearful oh.

I don't ever want to see you again [3x]
I don't ever want to see you again my friend, this is the end.

Out of the house, she grabs the keys runs for the hills,
and doesn't leave a letter that way the impact will be much better.
Away from the man that she's grown so fearful oh, so fearful oh.

I don't ever want to see you again [4x]

Why, oh why do you wear sunglasses in the home,
When the sun went out about an hour ago?
Why, oh why do you wear sunglasses in the home,
When the sun went out about an hour ago?
Life should not be that way.

Always up or down, never down and out.
Dreaming demons while you sleep,
They make you stutter when you sleep.
Always up or down, never down and out.
Dreaming demons while you sleep,
They make you stutter when you sleep.
Speak now or forever hold your piece in pieces.

Now that I'm grown I've seen marriages fall to pieces.
Now that I'm grown I've seen friendships fall to pieces.
We can't worry as in our best friends.
The writers weren't kidding about how all good things must end.
Then again somethings, then again somethings will fall to good,
Somethings will fall to good, to go away, and let go.

Always up and down, never down and out.
Dreaming demons while you sleep,
They make you stutter when you sleep.
Always up and down, never down and out.
Dreaming demons while you sleep,
They make you stutter when you sleep.
Speak now or forever hold your piece...

We won't forget Tony or Johnny oh,oh.
We better have an interest that leads wish he's the best on the road.
Garette to complain to Paris, France.
Now he's cooking up office for the pritty britty French girls.
Brooke in Blue and Clarity to the wall of grace.
Talks that risk and turns to the rest of the ranks.

We can't worry as in our best friends,
The writers weren't kidding about the good things will live in out hearts

Always up or down, never down and out.
Dreaming demons while you sleep,
They make you stutter when you sleep.
Always up or down, never down and out.
Dreaming demons while you sleep, (Never down and out)
They make you stutter when you sleep.
Always up or down, never down and out.
Dreaming demons while you sleep, (Never down and out)
They make you stutter when you sleep.
Always up or down, never down and out.
Dreaming demons while you sleep,
They make you stutter when you sleep.

we've got one chance to break out
and we need it now
cause i'm sick and tired of waiting
sick of this fucking apartment

love me or leave me or rip me apart
this is the voice that i was given and
if you dont like it take a long walk
off of the shortest pier you can find

and i'll be singing it out i'll be singing...
oh, Mr. Magazine i never wrote one single thing for you
or your so-called music scene
you dont mean a thing to me

pick it up, pick it up, and won't you want it
pick it up, pick it up, and you need it to
pick it up, pick it up, and won't you want it
pick it up, pick it up

when they review the debut
what if the critics hate you
dont worry cause they
might just catch somebody off their feet
well they can love it or leave it or rip it apart
we're living while we're singing
so i guess that's a step in the right direction
glare of composition in the honesty, honesty

oh, Mr. Magazine
i never wrote one single thing for you
or your so-called music scene
you both mean shit to me

pick it up, pick it up, and won't you want it
pick it up, pick it up, and you need it to
pick it up, pick it up, and won't you want it
pick it up, pick it up

so save your breath and the money you spent
go work in retail and spare the suspense
just dont take chances on anything at all
anything at all

so afraid of anything that may not come that easy
too afraid of anything that you may not have seen before
so afraid of anything that may not come that easy
too afriad of anything that may not...

pick it up, pick it up, and won't you want it
pick it up, pick it up, and you need it to
pick it up, pick it up, and won't you want it
pick it up, pick it up

so save your breath and the money you spent
go work in retail and spare the suspense
just dont take chances on anything at all
