So I'm not very popular here with those inside the system, as you might guess. I never wanted to be.

Life On Your Own
Winter is approaching
Theres snow upon the ground
Its good of you to visit me
Im glad you came around
I dont know how you found me
I didnt let you know
I only moved to this address
About a week ago
I guess you think I ran out
But thats not true
Other people settle down
I never do
I always have to move on
Just have to go
Ive often wondered why that is
Id like to say but I just dont know
I guess you always wanted
Life on your own
I guess you always wanted
Life on your own
Up here the summers shorter
And winters very cold
Im looking forward to the peace
My lonely life will hold
Im really glad you came here
Thank you for the talk
Its funny how my problem stopped
When we went for a walk
Standing here together
Means so much
I wont forget your confidence
I wont forget your touch
You know Ill come to see you
Passing through
Well always be a world apart
Ill travel on but I will be true
I guess you always wanted
Life on your own
I guess you always wanted
Life on your own
I guess you always wanted
Life on your own
I guess you always wanted
Life on your own

I Wonder Why?
sometimes i wonder why you left me,
sometimes i wonder why you come back and ask for more then usual,
sometimes i wonder why you went to her and left me.
i guess im not the right one
sometimes i lay in my bed and wonder why did u leave me,
sometimes i see you walkin down the hall and i see you and then i dont see myself beside you.
i guess im not the best
sometimes i wonder to myself how can i get you back and see myself walkin down the halls with my hand in yours and my life in a safe manner.
sometimes i just wonder to myself why you have to leave and hurt me so deeply inside and then come back and want more then you never wanted before
sometimes i wonder if your just using me, and you can come back for more
i guess im not the best or the one
sometimes it kills me inside to walk through these halls and see you with her and not with me, we were so perfect together i think.
i guess wondering why will never help to get the answer you have to man upp and ask: (

You can have many different selection systems, but the bottom line has to be a system that, once the judge takes office that judge will feel that he or she is to decide the case without reference to the popular thing or the popular will of the moment.

A Flowing Released Begins To Increase
Tabasco...
Hot!
And cayenne pepper,
Seems to heat nonstop.
Like it or not,
Jalapeno too...
Will do a sizzle fizzled with,
A stirring to approve.
When a wanted push inside,
Needs to flow...
A flowing going is released,
To increase relief.
When a wanted push inside,
Needs to flow...
It will go with a spicing that entices,
With a notice that's bestowed.
Like it or not,
Tabasco...
Hot!
Will do a sizzle fizzled with,
A stirring to approve.
And...
Some say this diminishes blemishes too!
Get rid of toxins that visit,
And come to sit in your 'system'.
With leafy greens and juices...
And,
Tabasco hot.
Get rid of toxins that disease and feed on your system.
With leafy greens and juices...
And,
Tabasco hot.

System Of Life
Now its time to look in your eyes
Youre so much better its no surprise
Its like a mirror is watching you
Maybe the words been broken - dont be no fool
Following the lights you see like a rolling train
Yesterday is gone - tomorrows in your hands
Something youve had is gone - dont wish it back
Let it go - dont run away - its nothing youll forget
You know the rules dont need no warning
Theres only one way to find the clue
Inside you so let it go
System of life - be the hunted or the hunter
System of life
System of life - its always by your side
System of life - the one and only way to live in harmony
Dont paint a picture full of love and hate
Paradise is here - but exceptions prove the rules
Sometimes it feels just like a dream becoming true
Close your eyes - look inside - it will never be the same
cause for your life there aint no warning
So stand up and fight to find the clue
So watch out you live and learn
Its the
System of life - be the broken or the breaker
System of life
Its the
System of life - its always real and true
System of life - the one and only way to live in harmony
Yeah - yeah
Oh, its the
System of life - be the hunted or the hunter
System of life
Its the
System of life - its always by your side
System of life - the one and only way to live in harmony
Its the
System of life - be the taken or the taker
System of life
Its the
System of life - its always real and true
System of life

Popular..
Many teenagers think
That being popular should be with the way you dress
The way you walk
The way you attract the boys
And the way you make the noise
Many teenagers think
That being popular is by the way you treat the others with full disrepute
Or by being very thin and cute
Many teenagers think
That being popular is all about the way you talk about the others
Or if you’re wearing a silky top or shoes made out of leather
Many teenagers think
That being popular is by despising the quiet ones and making fun of the weird
And also to show that they can never be scared or feared
Many teenagers think
That being popular is by showing of your new jeans and vest
And many teenagers think
That being popular is a way to prove that you are the finest and best.

Carolea
She came to the coast from the show me state
With her daddys blue eyes and her mamas blind hate
Guess she didnt know much but she knew the rules
What she needed to learn, she would find in l.a.
Not back in that school
Didnt wanna read about it
Guess she wanted to see
Carolea, shes carolea
Yeah, yeah, never quite sure what she wanted to be
Just a little girl alone in a big bad place
With a devious mind and a beautiful face
Ever since she was a baby she learned how to play
Wanted money in her hands from the easiest way
All her friends said, stop girl, you cant pay the price
But the hard way out dont appeal to the beast inside
She dont wanna hear about the better life
Guess shes ready to be
Hey, carolea
She never tells the truth to the folks back east
Truth about the drugs and the men she gets paid to please
Well they dont know
Yeah, they dont see
Yeah, that finally now after all these years
Shes let the beast inside roam free

The American Popular Song
It's a popular song, an American popular song.
And there's something about it, can't live without it.
It's the tune of the day, somehow it takes you away
and it grabs you, and it holds you, feel it control you,
makes you want to clap your hands.
Makes you want to stomp your feet.
Makes you want to sing along. It means business.
The American popular song goes on and on.
The American popular song goes on and on and on.
It's a popular song. An American popular song.
A simple story wrapped up in glory.
Once you hear it you know you got to hear it some more.
And that's power, try it, you can't deny it.
Makes you want to clap your hands.
Makes you want to stomp your feet.
Makes you want to sing along. It means business.
The American popular song goes on and on.
The American popular song goes on and on and on.
It's a popular song. An American popular song.
It's a popular song, an American popular song.
It's a popular song, an American popular song.

Miss You Too
i got you
inside my brief
inside my skin
inside my heart

and no matter what
there is no going out

my system
don't budge, you'll inside my bulge

A Little Humility
boxed in a system
a bee has forgotten to fly
it tries to do it again
but its wings have become sturdy
like the barks of a tree
its feet have forgotten the shape of a rudder
the radar has become strange to
its system
stuffed inside this box
this system the bee has nothing
to be.
just a showcase of what flight could have been.

School failed me, and I failed the school. It bored me. The teachers behaved like Feldwebel (sergeants). I wanted to learn what I wanted to know, but they wanted me to learn for the exam. What I hated most was the competitive system there, and especially sports. Because of this, I wasn't worth anything, and several times they suggested I leave. This was a catholic school in Munich.I felt that my thirst for knowledge was being strangled by my teachers; grades were their only measurement. How can a teacher understand youth with such a system? From the age of 12 I began to suspect authority and distrust teachers.

Inside Out
Here. A little sympathy for you to waste on me
I know you're faking it but that's okay
And I don't want to drag it out
Don't want to bring you down
I never wanted it to end this way
Even if I wanted to
I don't think that I'd get to you
There's nothing I can say to you to make you feel alive again
Here. A little jealousy
I hope you think of me
Hope you wonder where I sleep at night
Cause I feel like I'm inside out
You got me upside down
Maybe I was holding on too tight
Even if I wanted to
I don't think that I'd get to you
There's nothing I can say to you to make you feel alive again
So don't just say goodbye to me
Just turn your back away and leave
And if you're lucky I will be your last regret, your only friend
The two of us we dream like one
The two of us, the two of us
The two of use take breath like one
The two of us, the two of us
The two of us we dream like one
The two of us, the two of us
The two of use take breath like one
The two of us, the two of us
I guess that this is over now
I guess it's called the falling out
But everyday I'm learning how to make it through this life I'm in
Even if I wanted to
I don't think that I'd get to you
There's nothing I can say to you to make you feel alive again
So don't just say goodbye to me
Just turn your back away and leave
And if you're lucky I will be your last regret, your only friend

I Am In Here
i am in here
inside this system
it does not follow
that i will agree
to everything inside this system
there is this
courtesy, there is this hope that someday
things will change
that i may after all change too and like it
i am patient i will wait
i will keep my silence
i will be sane, until i explode
like a bomb
surely i will die, but i pity you beside me
keep your distance then
i am about to explode, i am almost there

Too Far Gone
(j.p. maunick/g. harvey)
He wanted to believe that the
Field was his to play
Says hes happy that shes gone away
Any fool can tell shes here to stay
From his mind she would never stray
Hes trying to hide it
But inside the pain cant be denied
I guess he's too far gone
No hes spendin all his time tryin
To tell the world hes free
Depp inside he know hell never be
And now it seems that hes lost the key
Hes like a raft driftin out at sea
Hes tryin to to fake it
But the sadness is all that he can feel
I guess that hes too far gone
He cannot see that as he talks
Hes takin a road that is goin nowhere
Theres no tellin hime, hes too far gone
Hes walkin down the street lookin sure of himself today
Hes never short of things to say
In his mind he knows hes lost his way
Its the proce he has to pay.
Gone too far
Too far gone
Gone too far
Too far gone

Lost My Mind
i thought i lost my mind
the day i lost you
days go by
and i just wonder why
how can you leave?
you didn't see what you wanted
i questioned why you left so soon
nothing feels right
i'm barely making it through
i feel like breaking down
because of everything
i feel deep inside
it don't make sense
that i've lost purpose of being here
wouldn't you say?
i had everything
now it feels like i'm left with nothing
know the feeling?
have everything you wanted
gone before a good bye
how sad
can't do much
it won't get me anywhere
all i can do is live out our dream
that all you wanted from me
i just became blind sided from it
gave up only because i couldn't have you
still don't have a clue
but, i seem be making it through
that all i can do
that's all you wanted
i guess i just have to try
because i'm tired of crying
without you here
i just need these gray cloulds to clear
so can i start learning how to deal.

(It's Like You) Never Left At All
Nobody can tell me I didn't try anything
I didn't know what to do to get over you
I tried magic and potions but I could not shake you loose
From my dreams, strange as it seems
It's like you never left at all
I guess I just can't forget you
It's like you never left at all
Somethin' inside me just won't let you go
Took a vacation for a month, maybe more
Made some new friends in places I've never been
But recuperation hasn't even yet begun
I'm still reachin' over for you when the morning comes
It's like you never left at all
I guess I just can't forget you
It's like you never left at all
Somethin' inside me just won't let you go
You're only illusion but you're standin' in my way
And you've got your life, it's a new life
But mine can't seem to change
It's like you never left at all
I guess I just can't forget you
It's like you never left at all
Somethin' inside me just won't let you go
Somethin' inside me just won't let you go
Somethin' inside me just won't let you go

Drifter
It's hard to believe
You could be such a disease
I cannot longer seperate
What is real hope that fate will find me safe
All my reflections laugh at me
You made me hide my name
It jsut feels bad to say
That there will be another day
What you wanted was impossible to define
The words I hear are of scrambled letters
Guess it's been there for years
Never let me know, I was alright
What you wanted is a mystery to me
The words I hear are of scrambled letters
Guess it's been there for years
Never let me know, I was alright
Building a room without doors
Is this the last of me?
Wring the rag for the last few drops
Falling into infinity
What you wanted was impossible to define
The words I hear are of scrambled letters
Guess it's been there for years
Never let me know, I was alright
What you wanted is a mystery to me
The words I hear are of scrambled letters
Guess it's been there for years
Never let me know, I was alright
