Mean cat tried to bring me down I said hey man, won't cha lose my number He is way off track I got eyes in my back baby Take off this ball and chain It's as heavy as a brick house I said stay away Get out of my neighborhood Blew me way off track I got a knife in my back (Chorus) Nothing good comes easy baby Nothing good, nothing good Wash my hands of this I'm lazy 'Cause baby nothing good

Well I'm standing at the front line My life seems like a war And I'm so tired of fighting babe Don't wanna see your face no more Well I think you know it's over It's better left undone Now I will soon be going 'Cause the things you've said and done (Chorus) I know baby it's time to run Why don't you open your eyes And I know Baby your time has come It's time to run When I'm talking to ya boy I might be talkin to the wall Now I've got news for you You just ain't no fun at all I don't hear a word for me I don't hear your words at all You better watch your step 'Cause you're heading for a fall (Bridge) I just wanna walk away I just turn my back and say Baby your time has come I'm so tired I'm so confused Twice around I've paid my dues Baby it's time to run

You've got a bad reputation That's the word out on the town It gives a certain fascination But it can only bring you down (Chorus) Turn yourself around Turn yourself around Turn it upside down Turn yourself around You got bad breaks Well, that's tough luck Youve played too hard Too much rough stuff You're too sly, so cold That bad reputation has made you old

God only knows That sometimes It's hard to even fake a smile It gets so old looking at these City Lights So dark and lonely but I'll be alright I'm praying (Chorus) My misery Bring it down come and take it from me My misery Love is careless in just who it might see My misery So far away Closer than those Who are surrounding me Something's reaching something unseen Keeps coming over me and Calling my name (Repeat chorus X3)

Long haired baby, mad gone crazy You turned my head around Flat on my back, you took what you got And walked without a sound Dizzy and blue, I shoulda known you'd Throw me a line I bought it big time But one thing I never said (Chorus) You're a little man, little man You're a little man, Oh a little little man Now I may sound bitter but this was a kicker I still kind of hold a grudge I should've seen it coming But you, you'd buy the booze And honey, I would lose it I still remember, you weren't that fucking great I won't give up my mind for you, oh no little man This time you're on your ass it's true oh yeah little man Little man, little man a little man You're a little man, little man a little man The best part of you was left on the sheet Who you gonna please with that thing? Yourself?

I know you swim in the shit from your own fat head Feel not a thing Numb to your brother who lies in the street I'll show you a million words that I never said (Chorus I) Now it's time to reap in what you've sown Better off dead Nail me down My soul you'll never own Better off dead I claim you a symbol for what's wrong today Closed eyes with my back to you Shattered faith of your jaded prey (Chorus II) Now it's time to reap in what you've sown Better off dead Nail me down My soul you'll never own Better off dead Smear your face in dirt from which you were born Better off dead Losing now a mask of false control Better off dead

Such a lovely day the sun was shining Down on cell 37 God turn this water into whiskey sour Pay you back if I get to Heaven No one to love or need Think I'm lonely Judge wouldn't pardon me He only gave me a life-long lease in a house that's ugly and a maid that's big and mean (Chorus) Loved ya to pieces more than life Loved ya to pieces cut like a knife Preacher spoke and grown men cried Rest in pieces from your sweet little wife It was my last cigarette And I was looking back on you You were so damn sweet Lying in my sister's, lying in my sister's bed Turn the other cheek that's what they told me Lasted for a week then they sold me A six inch blade with your name written on it A gift from me to you (Chorus) (Bridge) Now I might sound a little bitter baby But you know what I'm talking about You know it's cold inside, cold inside Yeah, I loved you too much Couldn't stand to see you touching someone else Why not me?

Now I don't mean to be offensive But your brain's not that expensive That's okay with me Your trash can mentality Makes good for small talkology I don't think I'm leaving (Pre-Chorus) Now it seems so catastrophic But oh well Mom said to never play with matches (Chorus I) You make it easy You make it so easy Now I thought I'd seen it all And I guess I'm still in shock It's kind of sleazy But when I look at your face I see that saving grace I get so weak in the knees (Pre-Chorus) (Chorus II) You make it so damn easy You know it feels kind of frightening You make it so damn easy You know you come on like the lightning So when I come a knockin' on your back door You better let me in 'cause I want more baby

Ma ma ma money, money money money Sex drugs money let's live a little honey Had a dick for a mother and a bitch for a dad Little brother lost his mind His grades were too bad Didn't understand couldn't really see I could feel it I could feel Growing like a weed in the sick sense of me I could feel it I could see Some dumb stupid bitch in a white fuckin Benz Got shit-faced fucked burned all her friends Needle in her arm and her little car alarm I can hear her saying Oh God why'd they (Chorus) Lie to me Oh man they lied to me I'm sad Lied to me They never quit Tell you what I want I ask you what I need Might as well be deaf and dumb And not read Never really mattered if you didn't understand They don't speak those words in fucking Iran Go the hell back Take your ugly hat I don't need ya I don't need Slimy little fucker with a knife behind your back I don't need ya I don't need Little sinless men saying Give me what you got I'll take my fat ass on home and buy myself a yacht I don't really mean to be crying so much I'm just pissed off 'cause the world's so fucked (Chorus) The world seems to be spinning faster and faster I think it might stop

Mad mad man in a bottle Sad sad man sad man oh man what the hell's wrong So many different sights a little south of the border Solo flight through a guiltless mind A little dirt on the doormat of life Falling down the stairs reaching out for a hand Got no fingers on it and a watch that tells no time (Chorus) I like a little evil Sometimes it makes me feel I like a little evil Oh yeah It's not a fool's gold that holds the taste of fine wine It smells sweeter to me born right out of the blue Took the seed from the garden of truth Looking through a crystal eye in the sky See them runnin round in circles like they've lost their minds

I found you I know where you're at I'm so tired of sleeping through these nights Lonely nights Close my eyes sometimes (Chorus) Go now you're free Walk away from me Go now you're free I was so blind, slow mind Go now Hearts breaking Shattered in two You kept on pushing through You heard me crying lately Bought what you said, yeah, yeah All those lies you told me have gone to your head Is this how it's ending That's all there was to say Backed in a corner Give it a break Not made of mercy You get what you give Misunderstanding how much I'd take
