There were five more murders in the city today That makes 400 this year and it's only May And they wonder why I have anxiety attacks As I light up a cigarette and try to relax Then some punk downtown breaks my jaw with a rock So now I stay home and keep my doors locked My next door neighbor he decided to cope With a high powered rifle applied to his throat This isn't the world I was promised as a child With corporate and government greed gone wild Now it's clear to see it's all lies we've been taught As we're thrown under the wheels... of the juggernaut Will you just stand there and watch the world in flames? And point your finger at the one they say to blame With all their answers enforced by massive wealth It's their intention to protect you from yourself See you in hell... And government cures only make things worse While they take their pay raise right out of your purse And the poor have nothing but anger and hate And murderous rage at their injust fate And the world has become a far more dangerous place As we fight for possession, religion, and race You can see now it's all lies we were taught As we're thrown under the wheels... of the juggernaut

I never had the answers, I never had a plan I don't know where I'm going but I do know where I am And it's all so clear after all these years I've cast off my burden and dried my tears Now I dream my life away - I'll be OK Dream my dreams all day - I'll work another day And though they always told me I wouldn't go far I'd never own a big house or a shiny new car, well I guess that it's a good thing that your life isn't mine I'm sorry if it bothers you but I'll be just fine... How dare you! Think you’re different! Something special! Just who do you think you are? As I dream my life away - I think I'll be OK Dream my dreams all day - What can I say? I'm living in a dream world, I know that I do But I've known what I wanted my whole life through And I'd give anything to make it true for a moment Can't you see? Now I dream my life away - I'll be OK Dream my dreams all day - I'll work another day Dream my life away, Dream my life away

Time comes upon us when everything must change And in the aftermath and the rubble that remains It all seems so hopeless with nowhere left to turn Under the gun and down to the wire, it seems you would have learned And where are the reasons that once stood out so clear? In a haze of compromise they've all seemed to disappear When the winds of the tempest... tear your world apart Stay true to what you believe and follow your heart... As the sun beats down upon your back in burning pain Crawl across the desert sands, it all seems so in vain Reach for the highest heights but pray don't fall from Grace It's not so important if you win or if you loose the race Will the winds of the tempest tear your world apart ? And now the storm is gone - the winds have passed The Sun will shine and I am free at last I'm free at last... In in my past... When the winds of the tempest... tear your world apart But no need to be afraid if you follow your heart Follow your heart...

There were times when I was angry but they really weren't so bad Cause I never could seem to stay mad at you And sometimes I get lonely and feeling sad but I always had hopes to hang on to you Like a beacon of hope that has cut through the dope and the circumstance Like a light at the end of the tunnel if your willing to take the chance One step closer Time passes slowly and never seems to change Face each day on down the line When there's nothing left to do but pray for rain Change the water into red wine And a beacon of hope has cut through the dope and the circumstance Like a light at the end of the tunnel if your willing to take the chance One step closer - to your heart's desire Feel the fires again One step closer - take a chance on you For a love as true... on earth as it is in heaven.

You know the story's told Long before you get old and grey You make your own mistakes And now it's much too late to change them I've had that invitation - it's so hard to decline But you just can't stay away Your brain went on vacation there's nothing there to find But you must find your way And where you've you made your tracks There is no turning back again You chose the road yourself You sat up on the shelf forever... I've had that invitation - It's so hard to decline But you just can't stay away Your brain went on vacation there's nothing there to find But you must find your way One more chance is all I'm asking One more chance to set things right Is this too much for me to ask for? And will I ever get it right? Before I die Can you resist temptation like you've never known before? Or you just can't stay away? Your brain went on vacation your heart fell to the floor And you can't find your way.... (repeat chorus) Before I die
