Pumphouse

Tired of this head load, pressure in the red Ain't gonna fall into the trap set by the company yes man Oh man, surely the clock is running slow Teasing me, letting me know Bridge 9 o'clock on a Monday morning getting those downtown flashbacks Oh my feet are set in concrete, ain't enough time to get it on Got to cut loose, gotta kickback Chorus We want to be like you, not I don't want to be like you We want to live like you, not I don't want to be like you Working on the ground floor, monkey on my back Shot myself in the foot Oh man, but I ain't alone Oh pretty lady working out the back streets Teasing me, says I gotta let go Bridge Chorus Solo Chorus

I've been here, I've been there, I've tried everything everywhere I've done this, I've tried that, I'm an adrenaline junkie I've hung here, I am experienced, I've tasted it I swear Been there, seen that, tried it, done it, yeah that too Like a moth that dances with the fire Can't resist the flame What is the ultimate high What price to take you higher Bridge Such a killer rush Touch a killer rush Feel the killer rush What goes up comes down Chorus What do you do to make you feel good What do you do to make you feel good What do you do I've been high, I've been low, been everywhere in-between I've felt good, I've felt bad, felt everything that I could I've been to the top, I've been to the edge, where do I go from here Been there, seen that, tried it, done it, yeah that too We dance, we party, are we puppets held by burning string What is the ultimate high Some get up, but not back down Bridge Chorus Do you feel the rush Can you feel the rush Do you feel the rush Do you feel it Solo Bridge Chorus

I could do better than that Don't need no wise ass telling me I'm wasting my time Nothing ventured, nothing gained When it comes right down, we're all the same I remember it well, just about 16 Dad said what you gonna do with your life No sweat, no problem, don't you worry about me When I get old I know what I want to be Bridge Would I lie to you Would I lie to you Chorus We bear the scars from Gerald's game He names his price you sign your name He's gone to hell, ain't that a shame No one can win at Gerald's game Who is the hero, who is the villain Who is who, who do we think we are Its a mixed up, screwed up, fucked up world We wish you well but hope you fall I remember it well like only yesterday don't seem to matter, do it anyway no pain, no gain, luck don't come for free I'm your friend, put your trust in me Bridge Chorus Solo Chorus Would I lie to you (x4)

Hey you, you'd sell a bible to the devil Steal my bed while I was sleeping Hey you, inflated ego I want to be there when you get yours Hey you, you're doing all the things that you want to do Oh the mighty will fall You've got a real bad attitude, personality that sucks Subtle as a shotgun but you ain't gonna get to me that way Oh so lonely at the top, overcrowded on the ground floor Big shot knows it all, when you fall on your ass its gonna make my day Chorus No sympathy, no tears, cos man you had it coming No crying over what you got, I've had you up to here Dance, dance, dance, you party while you can You've made your bed so lie in it, time to pay the man, pay the man Hey you, you're doing all the things just like you want to do Come on down, its payback time You've got a head so big no hat will ever fit you You can talk 'til you drop, you should have been a politician Got to be bigger, got to be better than the Joneses Use everybody, everybody's a fool, gotta get yourself in the best position Chorus Solo Verse1 Chorus

I'm listening with both ears covered (can't hear those lies) I'm watching with both eyes shaded (I still defy) Oh you fill my head That dirt it causes mind pollution Oh you push me with your fuck (far) extreme solution The screaming hate of anger shrieks and never makes a sound I blink my bloodshot eyes and kick the ground Bridge Why don't you do something to help me I'm sick and tired of sitting in the wrong chair If you have something to say then say it I'm damned if I ain't sitting in the wrong chair Chorus Sitting Sitting in the wrong chair I'm running but my feet are walking (but I still try) We suffer and you just keep talking (but I don't know why) Oh your schizophrenic attitude beats nails into my knee Oh you raise the lid and set the chaos free The parasitic rats live off my back take everything they can (all they fucking can) Here's a finger, spin on it, sick man Bridge Chorus Solo Bridge Spin on it sick man!

Hot shot politician, big shot movie star, maybe a TV. hero I wanna drive a Rolls Royce cos its got to be good for my head You and me we dance to the beat but somebody higher keeps changing the tune Who's that knocking, breaking down my door Big bad tax man wants the shirt off my back Bad bad day I'm having a bad day Bad bad day Everybody's on my back Everybody's dreaming looking for a reason to live You cant see the tears when you're welding in the rain Yu and me we dance to the beat but somebody higher keeps changing the tune Go face the world boy, hands tied behind your back Half assed situation ain't nothing new Bad bad..... A man said son, you should go far The farther the better If life was fair and work was luck Then I'd be rich and who'd give a fuck...
