Roll the Dice

Greed is good and ignorance is bliss
The parts are always greater than the whole
Friendship is an illusion best sealed with a Judas kiss
Whoever loves the least is in control
That’s what we learned, that’s what we know
Don’t second-guess, progress, on with the show
That’s how it’s done, that’s how you grow
Hesitations only interrupt the flow
We will get older
We will get wise
As atrocities fade away
We will be faithful
We will make nice
But until that distant day
Don’t think twice
Roll the dice
Believe the lie and make up the truth
When the money stops just start another war
Get away with murder by blaming it on the youth
Why study the past if it pays off to ignore
That’s what we learned, that’s what we know
The curtains close, the crowd goes wild, we bow
That’s how it’s done, that’s how you grow
We came, we saw and that’s how far we’ll go
We will get older
We will get wise
As atrocities fade away
We will be faithful
We will make nice
But until that distant day
Don’t think twice
Roll the dice
We need forward momentum so why dwell on the past
Stop giving me answers to questions never asked
But then it hit me hard – bang! – reality check
Modern society’s headed for a train wreck
The suspect to blame, he looks a lot like me
Between Us and Them whatever happened to We
People own so damn much yet never-ever enough
We sure love to Like but really what’s to love
We will get older
We will get wise
As atrocities fade away
We will be faithful
We will make nice
But until that distant day
Don’t think twice
Roll the dice
Get older
Get wise
Be faithful
Make nice
Think twice
That’s how you grow

Last Song About You

This is the last song about you
At least I hope it is
It’s not that I’m out of lyrics
I’d write another twenty just like this
And yet I sing the last song about you
This is all heartache deserves
Nothing I do will make you care about me
By now I’ll probably get on your nerves
Yes now I see
I wasn’t made for you
I was made for myself
And for the things I can do
And if you don’t believe that
Just listen to the sound
Of all the different songs I’ve made
While you were not around
And although I miss you again
I don’t need you
I never liked the friends you had
It’s time that I confessed
They stimulated a part of you I hated
Brought out your bad side, you forgot the rest
So now you’re one of them
I wonder why
You were best in the days we were all alone
When you weren’t drunk or high
Yes now I see
I wasn’t made for you
I was made for myself
And for the things I can do
And if you don’t believe that
Just listen to the sound
Of all the different songs I’ve made
While you were not around
And although I miss you again
Although I miss you again
Although I miss you again
I don’t need you

Overdose

Every time I go
I come back
One minute without her
The sky turns black
I don’t know what it is
That I miss
Why can’t I resist
A thing that doesn’t exist
I don’t know why I like her
She keeps asking why I do
I could say she’s so nice to me
But that wouldn’t be so true
I’ve had an overdose
I guess I came too close
Hot fever, cold sweat
She’s too good to forget
She’s got one bad habbit
She lies
And everytime I tell it
She denies
When she does I laugh
‘Cause I know
If she begged me to believe her
I wouldn’t say no
I don’t know why I like her
She keeps asking why I do
I could say she’s so nice to me
But that wouldn’t be so true
I’ve had an overdose
I guess I came too close
Hot fever, cold sweat
She’s too good to forget

Born on a small street in a small town
Your parents tried to raise you well
They taught you how to be a good boy
And gave you a band-aid when you fell
At junior high the teasing started
With bullies driving you to tears
Smelling blood they mocked your innocence
You learned to cope throughout the years
You’re civilized in a savage world
Watch your step out of the comfort zone
You’re civilized in a savage world
All grown up and all alone
And finally the day had come
For you to boldly leave the nest
No more foolish games--that’s what you thought
Which proved you wiser than the rest
Here’s the thing about maturity
You’ll wish you never joined the club
Adults behave like kids sometimes
We show our age but won’t grow up
You’re civilized in a savage world
Watch your step out of the comfort zone
You’re civilized in a savage world
All grown up and all alone
All grown up and all alone
All grown up
All grown up and all alone
All grown up
All grown up and all alone

Crack the Code
05:13

I watched you from afar
Playing hard to get
Rejecting without reason
The love you never had
Too proud to hide in shadows
Too shy to show your skin
I wonder what you're scared of
What secret lies within
Crack the code
I know you want me to
Unlock the thing that's holding you
Open up now, it won't hurt
Soon I'll say the magic word
You never needed anyone
Least of all a man
That's all about to change, girl
If only I knew when
One day I'll touch that weak spot
Then I'll reap what I have sowed
Your body grows impatient
I guess today I'll crack your code
Crack the code
I know you want me to
Unlock the thing that's holding you
Open up now, it won't hurt
Soon I'll say the magic word
I'm the breath against your neck
The chill running up your spine
Without you ever knowing
I made you cross the line
You'll open like a flower
And let the right one in
Pardon my intrusion
Let the games begin
One day I'll touch that weak spot
And then I'll reap what I have sowed
Your body grows impatient
I guess today I'll crack your code
Crack the code
I know you want me to
Unlock the thing that's holding you
Open up now, it won't hurt
Soon I'll say the magic word
You are about to change, girl
Get ready for the change
