I don’t know which way to go
I don’t know just why you make it so
It’s true, yeah it’s true
I don’t know if it’s up or if it’s down
You got me just spinnin’ all around
It’s true, yeah it’s true
Don’t know why you like to drive me mad
When things seem good you go and make them bad
It’s true, yeah it’s true
Telling me anything just to sit and watch me scream
Telling me anything just so you can treat me mean
I wish you, would stop your silly feuds
My mind can’t take your zoo
I think I need another brew
You drive me mad
You, I think you’re sad
I, don’t want you back
That is just a fact
Telling me anything just to sit and watch me scream
Telling me anything just so you can treat me mean
I wish you, would stop your silly feuds
My mind can’t take your zoo
I think I need another brew
I don’t know which way to go
I don’t know just why you make it so
Don’t know, know, know, know, know, know, know…
Boogieman, Boogieman, coming for you
Boogieman, Boogieman, what can you do?
Boogieman, Boogieman, taking its toll
Boogieman, Boogieman, killing your soul
But the Boogieman, he’s not bad
The Boogieman is just mad
His life’s turned upside down
Just trying to figure things out
Boogieman, Boogieman, bringing the fear
Boogieman, Boogieman, you sense he is near
Boogieman, Boogieman, we’ve cursed you to hell
Boogieman, Boogieman, we’re ready to kill
But the Boogieman, he’s not bad
The Boogieman is just mad
His life’s turned upside down
Just trying to figure things out
The dark you chase
Will soon erase
The brightest part
Within your heart
Boogieman, Boogieman, show us your face
Boogieman, Boogieman, don’t feel disgraced
Boogieman, Boogieman, light will reveal
Boogieman, Boogieman, a man that is real
The Boogieman he’s not bad
The Boogieman is just mad
His life’s turned upside down
Just trying to figure things out
The Boogieman he’s not bad
The Boogieman is just mad
His life’s turned upside down
Just trying to figure things out
As a CEO I work much harder than you
As a CEO I work much harder than you
I get paid a little bit more than you
Probably a thousand more times than you
While you work forty, I work more
By my calculations, it’s a billion times more
As a CEO I work much harder than you
As a CEO I work so much harder than you
What I do is much more important than you
I keep the stocks at an artificial value
When I get fired, I get bought out
When you get fired, we’ll show you right out
If I could make
A bigger stake
My scraps upon the floor
Could feed the poor
As a CEO I work much harder than you
As a CEO I work much harder than you
I know you hate me for how little you think I do
Don’t try to blame me, guess Jesus loves me more than you
I know it sounds crazy, but that’s just how it is
Who am I to question that I’m one of the chosen
As a CEO I work much harder than you
As a CEO… I think I'm better than you
They sent all my buddies off to a war
A war that was just they solemnly swore
They said that such evil threatened our ways
Over and over ‘til they were blue in the face
They’re gonna rally the masses to serve the few
Rally the masses - that’s me and that’s you
Rally the masses – ‘til we’re all quite lost
Rally the masses no matter the costs
They said that the bad guys hate our dear God
They said that the bad guys beliefs are quite odd
It’s a battle for riches, but they’ll never say
But all the corporate interests surely points the way
They’re gonna rally the masses to serve the few
Rally the masses - that’s me and that’s you
Rally the masses – ‘til we’re all quite lost
Rally the masses no matter the costs
Power to the people
Power if we’re strong
Don’t fight a rich guy’s battle
Just ‘cause they can’t get along
They’ll question “love of country”
They’ll question us all
They’ll buy enough airtime
To convince one and all
They’re gonna rally the masses to serve the few
Rally the masses - that’s me and that’s you
Rally the masses – ‘til we’re all quite lost
Rally the masses no matter the costs
There will be a costs
There’s always a costs
Dear brother, excuse me if I cry
Dear sister, so sorry that you died
Forgive me if I blindly cheered for our side
Forgive me if I was part of ending your life
Dear mother, the reasons weren’t your fight
Dear father, they’re mine
Dear daughter, it’s hard to say goodbye
My dear son, we took your only life
Forgive me if I blindly cheered for our side
Forgive me if I was part of ending your life
Dear lover, the reasons weren’t your fight
My dear friend, they’re mine
We thank you for your service
We cheer before your eyes
But how little we do question
The “whats”, “ifs”, “hows” or “whys”
Dear soldier, you fought with all your might
Dear soldier, the reasons weren’t your fight
Dear soldier, they’re mine
Everybody loves a bully
When they’re on your side
Everybody loves a bully
I just don’t know why
What happens when they lie?
What happens when you die?
What happens when they turn on you?
What happens to that shoe?
Everybody loves a bully
When they have your back
Everybody loves a bully
Can’t we bring compassion back?
What if they’re not on your side?
All that they want is the ride.
What if they cross a few lines?
Does that affect how you shine?
Everybody loves a bully
They make you feel so tough
Everybody loves a bully
For some it may get rough
Moonlight
Sunshine
Feels right
Yeah, right…
Everybody loves a bully
When they’re on your side
Everybody loves a bully
I just don’t know why
I just don’t know why
I just don’t know why
Why the hell? Why?
Don’t confuse respect with fear
Respect means more than to adhere
Respect is built when love is near
Respect is given when you give it dear
You rolled in this morning, told me to get things on track
Sit up straight, don’t you ever talk back
With the back of a hand, I submit to your plan
Well, aren’t you the head of the pack
Don’t confuse respect with fear
Respect means more than to adhere
Respect is built when love is near
Respect is given when you give it dear
Came home this evening, guess I did something not right
Led to a lecture, then it just led to a fight
I was told how it was, bullied not loved
You just don’t see what that does
Don’t confuse respect with fear
Respect means more than to adhere
Respect is built when love is near
Respect is given when you give it dear
You just had to be strong… never be wrong
Winning at all costs… never a loss
You rolled in this morning, suddenly everything changed
Your bite was all bark and now I see you’re deranged
I walked out the door, bet I left you quite floored
I’ll never love you. No more
Don’t confuse respect with fear
Respect means more than to adhere
Respect is built when love is near
Respect is given when you give it dear
I turned on the lights
I opened the door
I wanted it all
I wanted some more
But then things… changed
I knew what I had
And I know that it’s gone
I miss it so much
I wait for the dawn
Because things… changed
Mountains they from and they rise and then they turn into dust
Rivers they carve up my heart until there's nothing but rust
I turn off the lights
I close the front door
To leave it behind
Hurts me more than you know
Because things… changed
What was once there
Isn’t no more
What I once loved
Lies under the floor
Because things… changed
Mountains they from and they rise and then they turn into dust
Rivers they carve up my heart until there's nothing but rust
You may say that change is always needed
I say that it seems just so unfair
Changes may come but I’ll run and I will not care
I turn off the lights
I close the front door
Let me hide in the dark
Let me wait through the storm
Until things… change
If anyone cares
Here's what I believe
I know very little
And you're a lot like me
Listen if you care to, ignore me if you don't.
If you don't agree with me… Then don't.
If anyone cares
I'll be out in the back
Making friends with my neighbor
Looking out for his back
Listen if you care to, ignore me if you don't.
If you don't agree with me… Then don't.
We analyze
We criticize
We patriotize
We sanctify
We hate
If anyone cares
Here's what I believe
I know very little
And you're a lot like me
Listen if you care to, ignore me if you don't.
If you don't agree with me… Then don't.
We analyze
We criticize
We patriotize
We sanctify
We hate
If anyone cares
I'll be out in the back.
If anyone cares
Love’s a better path
If anyone cares… cares…
Listen if you care to, ignore me if you don't.
If you don't agree with me… Then don't.
So I believe in love
Respect for your fellow man
Trying hard just to understand
To let love make a stand
But I’m a hypocrite, I do admit
There are just sometimes, your face makes me sick
I want to yell, I want to scream
I want hurt, and demean
You can take your eff’d up ways and die
I believe in love
I believe in trust
Forgiveness is a healing must
It must come from us
But I’m a hypocrite, I do admit
There are just some times, your face makes me sick
I want to yell, I want to scream
I want hurt, and demean
You can take your eff’d up ways and die
Forgive me while I vent
Sometimes I just feel hell bent
I promise someday I'll try
To give love another try
Cause I’m a hypocrite, I do admit
There are just some times, your face makes me sick
I want to yell, I want to scream
I want hurt, and demean
You can take your eff’d up ways and die
I believe in love...
I’m not a fan of absolutes
I’m not a fan at all
I’m not a fan of drawing lines
I want to erase them all
Just one more thing to divide us
One more thing that keeps us down
One more thing to control us
I hope we come around
I’m not a fan of too much pride
I’m not a fan at all
I’m not a fan of becoming quite blind
Just to root us on
Just one more thing to divide us
One more thing that keeps us down
One more thing to control us
I hope we come around
I’m not a fan of thinking I’m right
I’m not a fan at all
I’m not a fan of thinking you’re wrong
I don’t know it all
Just one more thing to divide us
One more thing that keeps us down
One more thing to control us
I hope we come around
I’m not a fan of what’s right and what’s wrong
I am a fan of everyone’s song
I’m not a fan of cheering ones fall
I am a fan of embracing us all
That’s one less thing to divide us
One less thing that keeps us down
One less thing to control us
I hope we come around
I hope we come around
I hope I come around
Nothing is sacred to me
The cost is not worth it, you see
When things become dear
They unleash fear
No, nothing can be sacred to me
Nothing is sacred to me
Belief is something believed
If one can’t relate
And ends with hate
Then nothing can be sacred to me
Nothing is sacred to me
No flag is greater than “we”
If a symbol or sign
Makes us all go blind
Then nothing can be sacred to me
I know some things are special
I know some things need respect
But when these things become sacred
That’s when I take a step back
Nothing is sacred to me
That includes even me
If what I do
Ends up hurting you
Then nothing can be sacred to me
No, nothing can be sacred to me
Oh no, nothing can be sacred to me
I miss a time where the world was so kind
I miss a dream that was shared with me
Kindness, peacefulness
Hopefulness, thoughtfulness
Oh kindness, I must confess
I’m seeing less of kindness
I wonder why we don’t try to beautify
A wave and a smile would be nice once in awhile
Kindness, peacefulness
Hopefulness, thoughtfulness
Oh kindness, I must confess
I’m seeing less of kindness
When you yell and scream
And share your angry memes
You may be mainstream
But you can’t make me mean
With my… kindness, peacefulness
Hopefulness, thoughtfulness
Oh kindness, I must confess
I’m seeing less of kindness
I resolve to evolve so we can solve our problems
I resolve to evolve so we can fix what’s broken
Every one could be a little better now you see
Don’t be afraid to grow, it’s the only way to go
I resolve to evolve so we can find some answers
I resolve to evolve so we can lift each other
Every one could be a little more oh can’t you see
Don’t be afraid to know that you still have room to grow
They say, “He’s still the same”
“It’s great he’s never changed”
Why do we celebrate all those wasted days?
I resolve to evolve so we can solve our problems
I resolve to evolve so we can fix what’s broken
Every one could be a little better now you see
Don’t be afraid to grow, it’s the only way to go
It’s the only way to go
Just let your feelings grow
The only way to go
Oh let your feelings grow
The only way to go
Is for you to grow
The only way to go
The only way to sow
