What the hell's going on here?
First off-let's take it from the start
Straight out-can't change what's in my heart
No one-can tear my beliefs apart, you can't bring me
You ain't-never seen no one like me
Prevail-regardless what the cost might be
Power-flows inside of me, you can't bring me
Never-fall as long as I try
Refuse-to be a part of your lie
Even-if it means I die, you can't bring me
You can't bring me down?
Who the hell you calling crazy
You wouldn't know what crazy
was if Charles Manson was eating
fruit loops on your front porch
Time out-let's get something clear
I speak-more truth than you want to hear
Scapegoat-to cover up your fear, you can't bring me
You ain't-never seen so much might
Fight for-what I know is right
What up-you got yourself a fight, you can't bring me
Stand up-we'll all sing along
Together-ain't nothin' as strong
Won't quit-we ain't in the wrong, you can't bring me
You can't bring me down!
Chorus:
Bring me down-you can't bring me down!
Bring me down-you can't bring me down, no!
Bring me down-you can't bring me down!
Bring me down-you can't bring me down, you can't bring me down!
Tell them what's up Rocky!
You can't bring me down!
Chorus
So why you trying to bring me
(You can't bring me down-no, no, no, no, no, no)
So why you trying to bring
Well you can't bring me down
Just cause you don't understand what's going on
don't mean it don't make no sense
And just cause you don't like it, don't
mean it ain't no good
And let me tell you something
Before you go taking a walk in my world
you better take a look at the real world
Cause this ain't no Mister Roger's Neighborhood
Can you say "feel like shit?"
Yea maybe sometimes I do feel like shit
I ain't happy 'bout it, but I'd rather feel like shit than be full of shit!
And if I offended you, oh I'm sorry
But maybe you need to be offended
But here's my apology and one more thing...fuck you!
Cause you can't bring me down!
Chorus
You can't bring me down!
Suicidal!!!

I scream at the sky, it's easier than crying
I'm shyest hen I'm shouting out loud
I feel so alone in a room full of people
I'm loudest when I'm in a crowd
I'm alone, and nobody hears me
Can't nobody heal me, won't somebody help me
I'm alone, I just need
Someone to take my hand and pick me up when I'm feeling down

Someone to take my heart and give it a home
Someone to help me through the times when I'm
down and lonely
Someone to be with me when I'm alone
I'm alone, all alone
Alone is the way I live, it's not the way I want it but you know
You can't give in, alone is the way I feel,
it's so hard to understand
Why I've got to be alone

Chorus:
If you took a look at my heart you'd see it
I'm trying to be something better
If you look at my heart you'd feel it
I've got to keep moving on
If you look in my heart you'd know it
I'm just trying to make my world better
If you look in my heart you'd see it
I got to do it alone

I've been down, I've been down
I've been down, down, down so low
I've been lost, so lost with no place left to go
I've had emotions, emotions that you better hope you never know
Sometimes it feels like I just can't take no more

Chorus

Seems like things just keep getting further out of hand
Why can't for once things go as I plan
How dare you, how dare you tell me that you understand
Let me tell you straight out, there ain't nobody here that can
I'm all alone, I'm so alone, to be alone, just leave me alone

If you look in my heart, you'll see it
If you look in my heart, you'd feel it
If you look in my heart you'd know it
I'm not trying to make no one bitter
I'm just alone, leave me alone, alone, alone, now leave me

I've lived in places that you wouldn't never ever want to be
Places where for a minute you couldn't ever stand to be
I've seen things, I've seen things you'd never want to see
So what gives, what gives you the right to be the judge of me
I'm all alone, I'm so alone, to be alone, just leave me alone

A room full of people, can't nobody hear me, can't nobody
help me, I'm alone
I just need someone to take my hand and pick me up when I'm
feeling down, when I"m down
Someone to take my heart and give it a home, when I'm down
Someone to be with me and help me through the times
I'm down and lonely, when I'm down
Someone to be with me when I'm alone
I'm alone, all alone
Alone is the way I live, it's not the way I want it, but I
Know I can't give in
Alone is the way I feel, there ain't nothign quite as sad as
a person that's alone

Screwed up people everywhere, but I ain't got time to care
I feel lovely, la la la lovely
All kinds of souls down to the curb, but me help, don't be absurd
I feel lovely, la la la lovely
Cause it's not a problem of society, if it don't affect me
and I feel lovely
As long as I feel lovely, yea
Oh so lovely!
And I'm not guilty of your abuse, see it's all self-induced
and I feel lovely
Everything's so lovely
All your kind are like a pollution, look 'em up quick that's
the solution lovely
Wouldn't that be lovely?
So Tipper babe don't you remember me?
Now I'm kinder, gentler and so happy
It's lovely!

La la la-as long as I feel lovely, yea
La la la-and I feel lovely, yea
La la la-and everything is la la la la la la la la lovely
La la la
La la la la la lovely

Everything's so lovely
I think I'll throw a party
"Won't you come alone darling?"
It's a surprise party for me
Simply because I feel lovely!
If everything's so lovely...then why don't I, why don't I,
why don't I, why don't I feel lovely?
Lovely, la la la lovely, la la la lovely, la la la lovely

Lights... Camera... Silence on the set...
Tape rolling... 3-2-1 action

Welcome to the Church of Suicidal
We'll have a sermon and a wonderful recital
But before we go on there's something I must mention
An important message I must bring to your attention
I was in meditation and prayer last night
I was awakened by a shining bright light
Overhead a glorious spirit, he gave me a message and you all
need to hear it

Send me your money
That's what he said, he said to
Send me your money

Now if you can only send a dollar or two
There ain't a hell of a lot I can promise to you
But if you want to see heaven's door
Make out a check for five hundred or more

Send me your money
Do you hear what I said?
Send me your money

Now give me some bass, um yea that's how we like it
Now give me some silence, for all you sinners
Now give me more bass, yea that was funky
Now take them on home Brother Clark

Send me your money

Here comes another con hiding behind a collar
His only god is the almighty dollar
He ain't no prophet, he ain't healer
He's just a two bit goddamn money stealer

Send me your money
Send it, you got to send it
Send me your money
You hear what I'm saying?
You gotta send it
Send it, send me your money

Now how much you give is your own choice
But to me it's the difference between a Porsche and a Rolls Royce
I want you to make it hurt when you dig into your pocket
Cause it makes me feel so good to watch my profits rocket

Send me your money
Now dig in deep, dig real deep into your pocket
I want you to make it hurt
We'll take cash, we'll take checks
We'll take credit cards, we'll take jewelry
We'll take your momma's dentures if they got gold in them

So whose gonna be the next king of the fakers
Whose gonna take the place of Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker?
See my momma, she didn't raise no fool
Cause you can't put a price on a miracle

Amen

I wish so hard that I could be just like the one you want me to
But it doesn't seem to work though I'm trying
I try so hard to do what's right to be so good to make you proud
But it never seems to satisfy you
It's just the person that you want is not the person that I am
The conflict inside's horrifying
I want so much for you to think of me as a person that
deserves your respect and attention
I wonder if I'll ever do the tings you want the way you want
When I don't even know what I want yet
It's not that I'm rebelling against the person you are
It's just that I don't know who I am
All I know is it hurts, oh how it hurts
Oh God, do you know how I'm hurting?
There's an emotion in me, there's an emotion in me
Emotion No. 13
Look into my eyes, you'll see I'm not lying
Emotion No. 13 easy crying
Don't ask me how I know, but I'm dying
Emotion No. 13, blows my mind away
Emotion No. 13, it blows me away
Look into my eyes, you'll see I'm not...
Emotion No. 13, say's I'm...
Don't ask me how I know but I think I'm...
Don't ask me how I know but I think I'm dying, dying,
dying, dying
All I know is it hurts, oh how it hurts
Oh God do yo know how I'm hurting?
There's an emotion in me, there's an emotion in me
Emotion No. 13
Look into my eyes, you'll see I'm not lying
Emotion No. 13, feels like I'm dying

Extra, extra, read all about it!
News flash, read all about it!
Here comes another scam and don't you doubt it
May make you laugh, but it ain't funny
I can't believe the things they do for money
Another show that needs to get rated
Just got to add a little more hatred
We interrupt this program to tell you
Disco's out, murder's in
Kill it!
Goody, goody, another commotion
One more time, in slow motion
The mountain won't come to Mohammed
Let's keep our fingers crossed and maybe he'll bomb it
La da de da da de de da da
All kind of la de fuckin' das
Disco's out, murder's in
If you wanna go far, we'll make you a star
Not looking for a filler, just a serial killer!
It's got to be violent to make it a highlight
If we show it enough well everyone will think it's alright
Disco's out, murder's in
Kill it! Kill it!
Disco's out, murder's in!
Kill it!

Kept in the guard of Mother Nature's womb
Resting in the safety of their tomb
Sheltered by six feet of soil and rock
The spade is the key with which their gate we'll unlock
Why should they be resting so peacefully
When we're up above in pure misery
I don't care that they've already died
That's not enough to make me satisfied
So we wait till the stroke of the midnight hour
Then we'll unleas the darkest of power
Hell's gates will open a new judgment day
Now is the time that the dead will pay
Why should they be resting so peacefully
When we're up above in pure misery
I don't care that they've already died
That's not enough to make me satisfied
Waking the dead, waking the dead, waking the dead
All rise!
Hell's gates open the earth trembles and shakes
Now their pardons are over they pray for their mistakes
Mausoleums firebombed now rage in flames
When the dead come out their bodies we'll maim
CHORUS
Rob-Robbing their graves stealing their bones
Bang-Banging our heads to their screams and their moans
Fix-Fixing the wounds that even time cannot heal
Soon-Soon we will know how good it feels
This is not damnation or an act of God
Now the dead they rise ripping through the sod
Purgatory has to wait, but how can this be
The dead are free-the dead are free!
CHORUS
Waking the dead-you said that it wouldn't be
Waking the dead-You said that we wouldn't see
Waking the dead-Now the dead stand before our own eyes
Silence is blaring the earth opens wide
History repeats, reburied they die
Darkness descends through nature's pores
They return to their sleep on earth's basement floor
Now they rest not so peacefully
As they've had a taste of our misery
I didn't care that they'd already died
That wasn't enough to make me satisfied
Return back to their tombs now they lay
This is no game for the novice to play
Repeat not a word lest ye be forewarned
The punishment of Hell's darkness and scorn
Repeat not a word of the sermon said
A prayer for the dead, don't play with the dead
Don't try to comprehend what's going on
You can't understand, please don't understand
Waking the dead-And we'll be
Waking the dead-All rise now
Waking the dead-We're gonna wake the dead
Waking the dead
I said the words what have I done
I thought it cool, I thought it fun
The words I say they start to change
The syllables now rearranged
A language I can't comprehend
I shut my mouth it doesn't end
The bowels of nature open wide
I cannot move I cannot hide
I can't believe the things I see
The dead are free, the dead are free
I close my eyes and pray it's not real
Their presence close coldness I feel
What have I done Lord please forgive
Once they died, but now they live
I wake the dead, I ake the dead, I wake the dead, I wake the dead!
Cleanse the lepers
Cast out the demons
Wake the dead!

Here I sit and watch my world come crumbling down
I cry for help but no one's around
Silently screaming I bang my head against the wall
It seems like no one cares at all

Always an emotion, but how can I explain-how can I explain
Kind of like the scent of a rose, with words I can't explain-
The same with my pain
Caught up in emotion-goes over my head-goes over my head
Sometimes I got to think k to myself is this life or death.
Am I living or am I dead

The clock keeps ticking, but nothing else seems to change
Problems never solved-just rearranged
And when I think about all the times that I've had
So few good-so many bad

I search for personality and look for things I cannot see
Love and peace flash through my mind-pain and hate are all I find
Find no hope in nothing new-never had a dream come true
Lies and hate and agony-thru my eyes that's all I see

If I'm gonna cry-will you wipe away my tears?
If I'm gonna die-Lord please take away my fear
Before I drown in sorrow-last thing that I'll say
How will I laugh tomorrow-if I can't even smile today
Today today-when I can't even smile today
Today today-when I can't even smile today

How will I laugh tomorrow-when I can't even smile today
How will I laugh tomorrow-when I can't even smile today
