If you feel like a riot, then don't you deny itPut your good foot forwardNo need for heroics, I just want you to show itNow's the time to shineYour independence is a half-assed deliveranceThe train left the stationThe recognition of the same old conditionYour symptoms showing through
Well, regardless of the truthYou still act so aloofIn the face of your judge and juryYou got the nerve to say not guilty
Can you sting me, yeahCan you sting me, oohCan you sting meCan you sting me right to my rotten bonesYeah, right down to
Well, the bell rings out for the crimes of the centuryCourtesy of your motherWell, the sign reads welcome to the valley of discoveryLook at what money can buySons and daughters better open your eyesTell me what you're seeing'Cause this submission is a tired traditionIt's everyone's sacrifice
Oh, believe you meI've got nothing up my sleeve'Cept this heart and a chip on my shoulderYou see, I'm young and I'm not getting older
Can you sting meCan you sting me, ooh yeahCan you sting meCan you sting me right to my rotten bones
Ooh, come on my sweet young thingWhat new things you wanna show me todayI got one question, believe it's subjectiveWhat is a wasp without her sting?
I don't mean to sound bitterYeah you touch me just like murderLiving ain't so easyWhen all I want from you is to sting me
Can you sting meCan you sting me, oh yeahCan you sting meCan you sting meCan you sting meCan you sting meYou wanna sting me

Baby, baby, why can't you sit still?Who killed that bird out on your window sill?Are you the reason that he broke his back?Tell me, did I see you laugh about that?If I come on like a dream?Will you let me show you what I mean?Will you let me come on inside?Will you let it glide?
Can I have some remedy?All I want is a remedy.Remedy for me please.Cause if I had some remedyI'd take enough to please me.
Baby, baby, why you dye your hair?Why you always keeping with your mother's dare?So, baby why who's who, who know you, too?Did the other children scold on you?If I come on like a dream?Will you let me show you what I mean?Will you let me come on inside?Will you let it slide?

Wake me when the day breaksShow me how the sun shinesTell me about your heartachesWho could be so unkind?Do you dream to touch me?And smile down deep insideOr could you just kill me?It's hard to make up your mind, sometimes.
My angels, my devils, my thorn in my pride.My angels, my devils, my thorn in my pride.
Are you wanting inspirationYou spill your secrets on meThen you tell me with a whisperOf things that will never be.Do you hear me breathing?Does it make you want to scream?Did you ever like a bad dream?Sometimes life is obscene.
My angels, my devils, my thorn in my pride.My angels, my devils, my thorn in my pride.My angels, my devils, my thorn in my pride.My angels, my devils, my thorn in my pride.
Lover cover me with your sleepLet your love light shine, let it shineLover cover me with a good dreamLet your love light shine, let it shine

With my winter timeMy idols and stage frightIn another nightWhere the lights are loud and bright
One dream from waking up savedToo shy to hold in the rage
I know no luxuryOf knowing what your eyes readI know one million waysTo always pick the wrong thing to say
A love that you never gaveAlways a time zone awayIt's not out of spiteI know what's right
Bad Luck Blue Eyes Goodbye
Sometimes a memoryOnly sees what it wants to believeAnd what's filled in betweenAre days and nights that don't mean a thing
Such a simple suicideA second chance never triedAnd you don't understandI need a helping hand
So you think that you've seen it allIs that a fact?So out your mouth a dictionarySpouts about this and thatYou got your do's, your don'tsBecause and whyI don't trust no one who don'tTake their own advice
Bad Luck Blue Eyes Goodbye

To lessen my troublesI stopped hanging out with vulturesAnd empty saviors like youI wish I had a nickel for every miracleThat you easily tricked me into
You can lead a horse to waterBut faith is another matterSo don't you surrenderCause sometimes salvationIn the eye of the storm
I've no time for accusationsOr conversations on all the bad, bad things you do.Just a note from your jailorDrugs and the relationsTo all the people around you
You can lead a horse to waterBut faith is another matterSo don't you surrenderCause sometimes salvationIn the eye of the storm
I've kept secret your superstitionsAnd all its twisted wisdomThat I fell into
Sister can you try and find me?

Oh good heavens, baby where's my medicine?I must have left it outside with my etiquetteThe undertaker's rule of thumbIt's hard to talk with a novocain tongue
This room smells like hotel illnessThe scars I hide are now your businessI can't seem to make hair nor hide of thisNo baby love is not a punishment.
Hypnotize by your rotten behaviorThis week's fashion is last year's flavorI got a head full of sermons and a mouth full of spidersThe politics of the world's greatest liar
So tell me baby is it true all those things that they say about you...

Sleeping eyes sleep awhileAnd let me get to know your languageIf I believe all I seeI would hate to be around for the dawnSleeping eyes stay awhileAnd give me some cause to rejoiceA parody of the sceneWhere my three wishes were granted to me
What you got buried? In your backyardWhat secret do you sleep with when the black moon come
Sleeping eyes please come cleanI'm not giving you the third degreeWhen you live with no man's timeAin't it hard to find some peace of mindSleeping eyes don't you cryAnd don't pretend this is not an endingYour history yes it seemsHas been swept out with the leaves

Rooster crows at the break of dawnA mother dies without her only sonA doctor laughs in the face of diseaseI never once heard a preacher say please
And you, you want to be heardBut none of us understand a wordAnd you, you want to be freeThen don't speak like a slave to me.
Policemen who break the lawsPoliticians rise and fallA baby crying for its mothers milkA daddy's secret hidden guilt
And you, you want to be heardBut none of us understand a wordAnd you, you want to be freeThen don't speak like a slave to me.

Dizzy found me last nightSaw some kind of new lightI woke up in a whirlwindJust you watch my head spinThe spectacle that made you cryIt's a thrill a minute plane rideIt's over time at ring side, no lie
March me down to the seven seasBury me with a ruby ringKiss me baby on an Easter Sunday dayMake my haze blow away
I hide I seek and I findTruth in a fable faith in a rhymeSo why you want to bad talk meAre you surprised by what we see?Like the tables and the tides turnOn my bed the emperor wornIs that enough for me, could be
If music got to free your mindJust let it go cause you never know, you never knowIf your rhythm ever falls out of timeYou can bring it to me and I will make it alrightAnd if your soul is let goOh you never know, no you never knowAnd if your heart is beating freeFor the very first time it'll be alright

JAH would never give the power to a baldheadRun come crucify the dread
Time alone, oh! time will tellThink you're in heaven but you're living in hellThink you're in heaven but you're living in hellThink you're in heaven but you're living in hellTime alone, oh! time will tellThink you're in heaven but you're living in hell
Back them up, oh not the brothersBut the ones, who set them up
Time alone, oh! time will tellThink you're in heaven but you're living in hellThink you're in heaven but you're living in hellThink you're in heaven but you're living in hellTime alone, oh! time will tellThink you're in heaven but you're living in hell
Oh children weep no moreOh my sycamore tree, saw the freedom treeSaw you settle the scoreOh children weep no moreWeep no more, children weep no more
JAH would never give the power to a baldheadRun come crucify the dread
Time alone, oh! time will tellThink you're in heaven but you're living in hellThink you're in heaven but you're living in hellThink you're in heaven but you're living in hellTime alone, oh! time will tellThink you're in heaven but you're living in hell
