You come in cold,
You're covered in blood.
They're all so happy you've arrived.
The doctor cuts your chord.
He hands you to your mom.
She sets you free into this life.
And where do you go with no destination, no maps to guide you.
Wouldn't you know that it doesn't matter, we all end up the same.

These are the chronicles of life and death and everything between.
These are the stories of our lives, as fictional as they may seem.
You come in this world, and you go out just the same.
Today could be the best day of your life.

And money talks in this world,
Thats what idiots will say
But you'll find out that this world,
Is just an idiots parade
Before you go, you've got some questions.
And you want answers
But now you're old, cold, covered in blood,
right back to where you started from

These are the chronicles of life and death and everything between.
These are the stories of our lives, as fictional as they may seem.
You come in this world, and you go out just the same.
Today could be the worst day of your life.

But these are the chronicles of life and death and everything between.
These are the stories of our lives, as fictional as they may seem.
You come in this world, and you go out just the same.
Today could be the best day of,
Today could be the worst day of,
Today could be the last day of your life.
It's your life, your life

Y'a only see it on TV
Or read it in the magazines
Celebrities that want sympathy
All they do is piss and moan
Inside the rolling stone
Talkin' about how hard life can be

I'd like to see them spend a week
Livin' life out on the street
I don't think they would survive
If they could spend a day or two
Walking in someone else's shoes
I think they'd stumble and they fall
(they would fall, fall)

Chorus:
Lifestyles of the rich and the famous
They're always complainin'
Always complainin'
If money is such a problem
Well they got mansions
Think we should rob them

Well did you know when you were famous you could kill your wife
And there's no such thing as 25 to life
As long as you've got the cash, to pay for Cochran
And did you know if you were caught and you were smokin' crack
McDonalds wouldn't even wanna take you back
You could always just run for mayor of D.C.

I'd like to see them spend a week
Livin' life out on the street
I don't think they would survive
If they could spend a day or two
Walking in someone else's shoes
I think they'd stumble and they fall
They would fall

Lifestyles of the rich and the famous
They're always complainin'
Always complainin'
If money is such a problem
Well they got mansions
Think we should rob them (rob them)
(They would fall, they would fall)

Chorus 1/2:
Lifestyles of the rich and the famous
They're always complainin'
Always complainin'
If money is such a problem
You got so many problems
Think I could solve them

Lifestyles of the rich and famous
We'll take your clothes, cash, cars, and homes just stop complainin'
Lifestyles of the rich and famous
Lifestyles of the rich and famous
Lifestyles of the rich and f

I need an alarm system in my house
So I know when people are creepin about
These people are freakin me out (these days)
It's getting hectic everywhere that I go
They won't leave me alone
There things they all wanna know
I'm paranoid of all the people I meet
Why are they talking to me?
And why can't anyone see?

Refrein:
I just wanna live
Don't really care about the things that they say
Don't really care about what happens to me
I just wanna live

I rock a law suit when I'm going to court
A white suit when I'm getting divorced
A black suit at the funeral home
In my birthday suit
When I'm home alone
Talking on the phone
Got an interveiw with the rolling stone
They're sayin "now you're rich and now you're famous"
Fake ass girls all know your name
And lifestyles of the rich and famous
You're first hit
Aren't you ashamed of the life,
Of the life, of the life we're living

Refrein

Stop your messing around, boy
Better think of your future
Better make some good plans
Boy said every one of our teachers look out,
You better play it safe never know what
Hard times will come your way
We say where we're coming from
We've already seen the worsed that this life can bring
Now we expect everywhere
That we go all the things that they say
Yeah we already know

Refrein

Hard days make me hard nights shape me
I dunno this song might save me
And I know I'm making something
Out of this life they call nothing
I take what I want, take what i need
They say its wrong but its right for me
I won't look down won't say I'm sorry
I know that only god can judge me

And if I make it threw today
Will tomorrow be the same
Am I just running in place
And if I stubble and I fall
Should I get up and carry on
Will it all just be the same

Cause I'm young and i'm hopeless
Im lost and i know this
Im going nowhere fast thats what they say
Im troublesome im fallin
Im angry at my father
Its me against this world and i don't care
I don't care

And no one in this industry
Understands the life I lead
When I sing about my past
Its not a gimick not an act
This critics and these trust fund kids
Try to tell me what punk is
But when I see them on the streets
They got nothin to say

And if I make it threw today
Will tomorrow be the same
Am I just running in place
And if I stubble and I fall
Should I get up and carry on
Will it all just be the same

Cause I'm young and i'm hopeless
Im lost and i know this
Im going nowhere fast thats what they say
Im troublesome im fallin
Im angry at my father
Its me against this world and i don't care
i don't care

Cause I'm young and i'm hopeless
Im lost and i know this
Im going nowhere fast thats what they say
Im troublesome im fallin
Im angry at my father
Its me against this world and i don't care
i don't care

Communication is a lot like the wind, when I speak
It's like no one understand and I'm left with empty hands forever I can't speak

So many things I'll never learn
You can't cross bridges that you've burned

Chorus:
Why is life such an issue in your mind, why are the answers to my problems hard to find
hard to find

Don't forget to buckle when you fall beneath the pressure of the seconds when your life became a screamer
Staring at the sea things become so small
I want movies of my dreams and pictures on my wall

Chorus

You say that I'm a dreamer, I say you're a non-believer
Take out the light, take out the light and start screamin
I'm dreamin, I'm a dreamer, no one believes me, and you don't either

Tell me what to dooooooo
Take out the light, take out the light
Take out the light, take out the light and start screamin
Take out the light, take out the light
Take out the light, Take out the light and start screamin

Take out the light and start screamin 3x

this world
this world is cold
but you don't
you don't have to go
you're feeling sad you're feeling lonely
and no one seems to care
your mothers gone and your father hits you
this pain you cannot bear

but we all bleed the same way that you do
and we all have the same things to go through

Chorus:
hold on if you feel like letting go
hold on it gets better than you know

the days you say they're way too long
and your nights, you cant sleep at all
hold on
your not sure what your waiting for but you don't want to no more
and your not sure what your looking for but you don't want to no more

but we all bleed the same way as you do
and we all have the same things to go through

Chorus:
hold on if you feel like letting go
hold on it gets better than you know
don't stop looking you're one step closer
don't stop searching its not over
hold on

what are you looking for
what are you waiting for
do you know what your doing to me
your hell
what are you waiting for

hold on if you feel like letting go
hold on it gets better than you know
don't stop looking you're one step closer
don't stop searching it's not over
hold on if you feel like letting go
hold on it gets better than you know
hold on

Lost and broken
hopeless and lonely
smiling on the outside
but hurt beneath my skin

my eyes are faded
my soul is bleeding
I try to make it seem okay
but my faith is wear and thin

Chorus:
so help me heal these wounds
they've been open for way to long
help me fill this soul
even though this is not your fault
that im open, and Im bleeding
I'll open a brand new road
and I need someone to help me sort them out

I only wanted a magazine
I only wanted a movie screen
I only wanted the life I read about and dreamed

and now my mouth is an open book
and now my heart is an open wound
and now my life is an open soul for all to see

Chorus:
but help me heal these wounds
they've been open for way to long
help me fill this soul
even though this is not your fault
that im open, and Im bleeding
I'll open a brand new road
and I need someone to help me

so you come along
I'll push you away
than kicked and screemed for you to stay
cuz I need someone to help me
oh I need someone to help me

to help me heal these wounds
they've been open for way to long
help me fill this soul
even though this is not your fault
that im open, and i'm bleeding
I'll open a brand new road
and I need someone to help me sort them,
I need someone to help me fill them
I need someone to help me close them up

There's a woman crying out tonight
Her world has changed
She asked God why
Her only son has died an now her daughter cries
She can't sleep at night
Downtown another day for all the suits and ties
Another war to fight there's no regard for life
How can they sleep at night, How can we make things right
Just want to make this right

6X We believe
in this love

We are all the same
Human in all our ways and all our pain
So let it be
There's a love that could fall down like rain
Let us see
let forgiveness wash away the pain
What we need
And no one really knows what they are searching for
We believe
This world is crying for so much more

6X We believe
In this love
6X we believe
in this love

So this world is too much for you to take
Just lay it down and follow me
I'll be everything you need
In every way
6X We believe
In this love
in this love
3X we believe in this love

When I think about my life
I wonder if I survive to live to see 25 or will I just fall?
Like all my friends
They just keep dying
People round me always crying
In this place that I like to call my home

Not everybody knows that everybody goes to a better place
Not everybody knows that everybody could live their last days
But the hard times will come and we're keep moving on, we're movin up
Keep movin on Life, Hope, Truth, trust, faith, prdie, love, lust
On without the things we've lost the things we've ganed we'll take with us

And all i've got are these two hands to make myself a better man
I wonder if I'll ever see the end of this
With all this rain it just keeps falling
on my head and now i'm calling out to someone else to help me make it trough

Not everybody knows that everybody goes to a better place.
Not everybody knows that everybody could live his last days.

But the hard times will come and we're keep movin on we're movin up keep movin on

Life. hope, truth, trust, faith, pride, love, lust, pain, hate, lies, guilt, laugh, crie, live, die.
Some friends become enemies some friends become your family
Make the best with what you're given
this ain't dying this is living!

said we movin on
and we've got nothing to prove
to anyone cause we'll get trough
we're movin on and on, and on etc.
keep movin on!

life, hope, truth, trust, faith, pride, love, lust, pain, hate, lies, guilt, laugh, cry, live, die
Some friends become enemies some friends become your family
Make the best with what you're given
this ain't dying this is living!
