he said do you you believe in hell
i said how could i ever forget you
giving orders to a garbage can
captain controller has a detailed plan
hiding what's naturally nasty inside
little patina of love
covers a carcass of pride
this wonderful life you lead
it's like a kick in the ass to me
you see the enemy in every face
that's got the cheek to say i disagree
manufacturing imaginary enemies
just so he can say they've all turned on me
all roads lead to the same demise
shouldn't come as such a big surprise
people say anything when they wanna be your friend
but i just want to be my own best friend
this wonderful life you lead
it's like a kick in the ass to me
you see the enemy in every face
that's got the cheek to say i disagree
there's one thing that he could never have
understand
deaf again
he's gone deaf again
there's one thing that he could never stand
understand
deaf again
he's gone deaf again
she said do you believe in love
i said no i don't my love
he said do you believe in hell
well i said how could i ever forget you
he's giving orders to a garbage can
captain controller has a detailed plan
this wonderful life you lead
it's like a kick in the ass to me
you see the enemy in every face
that's got the cheek to say i disagree
there's one thing that he could never have
understand
deaf again
he's gone deaf again
there's one thing that he could never stand
understand
deaf again
he's gone deaf again

they said that melody was dead
but i want it anyhow
i could hear it ringing in my head
i don't believe them
they said that ugliness was in
in their little club
i'll wait for beauty to come round again
seen it i been here
i left my fun behind me now
sneered at with the cold stare
i felt the dismal hiss in unison
pour from the eyes of the broken ones
think that something's gone wrong
very wrong
with all the coolest kids in town
cos just a couple doors down
from the in crowd
they're having much more fun
too cool to be cool
you knew the perfect reply to everyone
neutral can be brutal
you wait for the sign
till you get the all clear
hey man is it cool enough in here
think that something's gone wrong
very wrong with all the coolest kids in town
cos just a couple doors down
from the in crowd
they're having much more fun
for every generation there's some crap
some shameless pitch to some nameless sap
mister label maker take a bow
because you fooled us again
and now you're feeling proud
you want it but you don't get
not everything can be explained
in about a minute
yeah i plant the seed of my deceit
in the strong just like the weak
so we can buy everything
that we need to feel complete
think that something's gone wrong
very wrong with all the coolest kids in town
cos just a couple doors down
from the in crowd
they're having much more fun
for every generation there's some crap
some shameless pitch to some nameless sap
mister label maker take a bow
because you fooled us again
and now you're feeling proud
seen it i been here
i left my fun behind me now
sneered at everyone
won't you try my design
cos it worked for me
you gotta practice up on your cheap ennui
i think that something's gone wrong
very wrong with all the coolest kids in town
your little mind and the big machine
didn't you want to be the figment of a magazine
yeah they graced us with a cunning designation
called it this week's generation

My Way

i'm way down the line
but i want you to know
it's not that you lie
that hurt me so
no it's in the way
you built me up
before you let me go
you said i was the moth
and you were the flame
you said you'd wear the cross
and i'd wear the blame
but what would you say
if i refuse to play
your little martyr's game
because it gets in the way
gets in my way
yeah it gets in the way
gets in my way
why i followed my feet
down to your door
why i followed my knees
all the way to the floor
why i worked myself sore
i thought i knew
but now i'm not so sure
i guess you didn't miss much
when you were missing me
hope your weekend away
was all it was meant to be
seeing old friends
maybe a new one or two
we can just pretend
because it gets in the way
gets in my way
yeah it gets in the way
gets in my way
yeah i read the letter
guess i committed the biggest sin
known to man
guess i should've known better
i should've known you were gonna
throw me away like the trash
i'm way down the line
you hurt me inside
if you were going to let me go
oh i wish that you would just decide
decide, decide, you decide
