I wanna go home
I don't wanna die
I didn't even start this stupid fight
Whatever the reason, killing don't seem right
I don't wanna die
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
I don't wanna die
The reasons and facts all tend to confuse
Fighting for land that I will never use
I don't wanna die
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
I don't wanna die
I'm tired of shooting and blasting and running
And killing and choking and falling and gunning
I don't wanna die
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
I don't wanna die
Through history soldiers can be heard
Shouting in pain the following words
I don't wanna die
I wanna go home!

Take A Look
I don't know what you're after
Wannna know all the details of my disaster
Like an accident on the side of the road
When you're driving past slow but there's nothing to see here
Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look
I'm some kind of freak now and
You'll never see me the same
What's all the fuss about?
Are you sure you wanna find out?
Cause once you know the truth
You might wish you'd walked away
Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look
What if I'm not able
To put my cards on the table?
And would it liberate you
If you knew what I knew?
It's been over a year now and
I never saw him again
The facts and the fiction
Collide as the bodies untangle
And the traffic moves on like it did
Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look

So Tired
(stewart)
By the time I was home
I was feeling bad
Never the less I go mine
Straight out of bed
I was feeling my head
But im
So, tired I just got to get home
So, tired I just got to get home
Surely its time
You should face the facts
Im not the one that you need
I dont need to feed you
Or need you or lead you im
So, tired I just want to get home
So, tired I just wanna get home
Ive never been one
For just putting around
Keep it in my trousers all night
Surely Im right
When you stay out all night
And im
So, tired I just wanna go home
So, tired I just wanna, wanna,
Wanna go home
And you know that your
Out of your depth my dear
When you take home
Someone like me
Its been such a long time
I can hardly stay out
And im
So, tired I just wanna go home
So, tired I just wanna go home
So, tired I just wanna go home
And Im so

I Wanna Go Home
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Time passing by
I don't know for how long
Mountains on each side
and the sky above
rolling, rolling, rolling
on the dusty ground
dirt in my eyes
it's hurting my mind
oh
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Drenched in sweat
as I wake in the night
a drip on my face
from the pitch black sky
falling, falling, falling
is the blood that I shred
in the endless quest
of getting home again
oh
I wanna go home
I wanna go home

Do Right To Me Baby
Dont wanna judge nobody, dont wanna be judged,
Dont wanna touch nobody, dont wanna be touched.
Dont wanna hurt nobody, dont wanna be hurt,
Dont wanna treat nobody like they was dirt.
But if you do right to me, baby,
Ill do right to you, too.
Ya got to do unto others
Like youd have them, like youd have them, do unto you.
Dont wanna shoot nobody, dont wanna be shot,
Dont wanna buy nobody, dont wanna be bought.
Dont wanna bury nobody, dont wanna be buried,
Dont wanna marry nobody if theyre already married.
But if you do right to me, baby,
Ill do right to you, too.
Ya got to do unto others
Like youd have them, like youd have them, do unto you.
Dont wanna burn nobody, dont wanna be burned,
Dont wanna learn from nobody what I gotta unlearn.
Dont wanna cheat nobody, dont wanna be cheated,
Dont wanna defeat nobody if they already been defeated.
But if you do right to me, baby,
Ill do right to you, too.
Ya got to do unto others
Like youd have them, like youd have them, do unto you.
Dont wanna wink at nobody, dont wanna be winked at,
Dont wanna be used by nobody for a doormat.
Dont wanna confuse nobody, dont wanna be confused,
Dont wanna amuse nobody, dont wanna be amused.
But if you do right to me, baby,
Ill do right to you, too.
Ya got to do unto others
Like youd have them, like youd have them, do unto you.
Dont wanna betray nobody, dont wanna be betrayed,
Dont wanna play with nobody, dont wanna be waylaid.
Dont wanna miss nobody, dont wanna be missed,
Dont put my faith in nobody, not even a scientist.
But if you do right to me, baby,
Ill do right to you, too.
Ya got to do unto others
Like youd have them, like youd have them, do unto you.

Hippy
I don't wanna be what you wanna be
I just wanna be what's right for me
I don't wanna see who you wanna see
Because your friends are no good for me
You say that love's an open door
I see you walking out but I hear you taking more
Now you wanna kick it cause you dropped on the floor
I don't wanna go where you wanna go
Cause when you go you move too slow
I just wanna see what I wanna be
And now it seems that I wanna be free
I'm hearing what you're saying
But I don't know what you're doing
And I need some things explaining
Cause you're evil and you're using
This giving and mistaking
This reality that you're faking
Can't you justify the feeling
And the pain that you're making

Feel
This darkness cooled my light
We move to different sides
I poured the guilt right over my eyes
As I rose to greet the sky
Ive never felt this before
See you dead on the floor
I cant recall a single day
Thats gonna make this pain slip away
My senses have been so cold
Didnt know how to feel or hold
For a second I felt something in you
For a second I believed in you
And I wanna know
And I wanna be
And I wanna feel
And I wanna know
And I wanna be
And I wanna feel
And I wanna know
And I wanna be
And I wanna feel
And I wanna know
And I wanna be
And I wanna feel
We could, my friend
We can
We could, my friend
We can
We should not end
I wanna be part of...
And I wanna know
And I wanna be
And I wanna feel

A Song to my Brother
I wanna do something for my elder brother;
I wanna do something that will make him smile;
I wanna do something that he will remember;
I wanna do something that’s unique and clever!
I wanna do something that can make him talk;
I wanna do something that can make him laugh;
I wanna do something that can make him sing;
I wanna do something that will make him brighter!
I wanna do something that can give him joy;
I wanna do something that can boost morale;
I wanna do something that can encourage;
I wanna do something that is unique and forever!
I wanna do something that improves his plight;
I wanna do something that can cheer him up;
I wanna do something that can lift his heart;
I wanna do something for my good old brother!

TV Radio
You incomplete me
You tune me into
Whitewash
Spoon fed
Brain dead
Sloth
I'd watch the paint dry before giving in
Black out
Stupor
Inferior
Insignifigant
False stars above keep us sedated
Satellite
Astronaut
Spaceship
The Government
I'm overdosing on reality
Don't stop the feed
No don't touch the feed
I don't wanna wanna be
Wanna wanna be

Lifeless

Unbelievable
So bored with my life
Entertained me with normal
Usual
Average
It's so typical
Artists traded in for the talentless
Spoiled kid
Wife swap

So entertaining it makes me sick

I Wanna Roo You
Twenty-third of december
Covered in snow
You in the kitchen
With the lights way down low
I'm in the parlor playing my old guitar
Speaking to you, darling, to find out how you are
I wanna roo you, wanna get through to you
I wanna woo you, woo you tonight
I wanna roo you, wanna get through to you
I wanna woo you, woo you tonight
Come to me softly
Come to me quiet
Know what i'm after
I'm gonna try it
Snowstorm's on the way and we'll be stranded for a week
Come over to the window, look outside take a peek
I wanna roo you, wanna get through to you
I wanna woo you, woo you tonight
I wanna roo you, wanna get through to you
I wanna woo you, woo you tonight
You know i am lonely
And in need of your company
Oh, let your love light shine on down on me
And we can just sit here
Look at the fire
Watch the flames leaping higher and higher
Tea on the stove food in the pan
Ain't going nowhere and we don't have many plans
I wanna roo you, wanna get through to you
I wanna woo you, woo you tonight
I wanna roo you, wanna get through to you
I wanna woo you, woo you tonight
And you know i am lonely
I been in need of your company
Let your love shine on down on me
I wanna roo you, wanna get through to you
I wanna woo you, woo you tonight
I wanna roo you, wanna get through to you
I wanna woo you, woo you tonight
Woo you tonight, pretty baby
Woo you tonight, little darling
Woo you tonight, alright
Woo you tonight

I Wanna Be the Girl
i wanna be the girl you write songs about
I wanna be the girl you can't live without
I wanna be the girl on the radio
I wanna be that girl you know
I wanna be the intimidating one
I wanna be the one you love
I wanna be the one you can't get over how she looked at you today
I wanna be that girl
I wanna be the girl you tell your mom about
i wanna be the girl you watch walk away
I wanna be the girl you always point out
I wanna be the girl who never heard what you had to say
I wanna be the girl you write songs about
I wanna be the girl you cab't live without
I wanna be the girl on the radio
I wanna be that girl you know
I wanna be that girl
You know the one i mean
I wanna be the girl
You know the one you know
I wanna be the girl who changed your life
I wanna be the girl who's not quite right
I wanna be the girl in your dreams
I wanna be the girl you beg 'be with me'
I wanna be the girl who stands out
I wanna be the one you can't live without
God, I want to be he
I'm so jealous of that girl
I wanna be the girl you write songs about
I wanna be the girl you can't live without
I wanna be the girl on the radio
i wanna be that girl, that girl you know

Catapult
All of the sudden she disappears
Just yesterday she was here
Somebody tell me if I am sleeping
Someone should be with me here
Cause I don't wanna be alone
I wanna be the knife that cuts into my hand
And I wanna be scattered from here in this catapult
What a big baby won't somebody save me please
You won't find nobody home
All of these quiet battered voices
Wait for the hunger to come
We got little revolvers and stupid choices
And no one to say when we're done
Well I don't wanna bring you down
I wanna be the light that burns out your eyes
Cause I know there's little things about me
That would sing in the silence of so much rejection
In every connection I make
I can't find nobody home
I wanna be the last thing that you hear when you're falling asleep....

Wanna Be There
I wanna be there
When you turn out the lights
I wanna be there
But Im here on this lonely highway
In the middle of nowhere
I wanna hold you
If you wake up in the night
I wanna hold you
I wanna be there in the morning
I wanna touch you
cause you know tonight
Theres nowhere else that I would rather be
Im not the same when youre not here with me
Close your eyes and say a little prayed
And baby Im gonna be there
I wanna be there
I wanna be there
Wanna be there in the morning
Oh, I wanna be there

You dont have a clue
Youre so far gone
Hes got you dancin to
A sirens song
I wouldnt wanna be you right now

Youre not the first hes drawn
To his flame
He means to do you wrong
He has no shame

3 a.m.
I dont believe I hear the telephone ring
I wanna sleep
You wanna shake that thang
I wanna dream
You wanna dance all night
If I knew
If I knew you and better we could fight about it
You just wanna bebob but I just wanna drop
Dont call me
Because your boyfriend isnt home tonight
Dont pretend
Cause out of mind is only out of sight
Its much too late
Look and see how quick the candle burns
Go away
Go away and let my dreams return
You just wanna bebop but I just wanna drop

I Dont Wanna Think About You
Can you leave me here alone now?
I dont wanna hear you say.
That you know me,
That I should be, always doing what you say.
Cause I'm trying to get you today,
And there one thing I know...
CHORUS
I don't wanna think about you, or think about me
Don't wanna figure this out.
I don't wanna think about you, or think about nothing.
Don't wanna talk this one out.
I Won't let you bring me down,
Won't let you shut me out
This time I know
I don't wanna think about you.
When I wake up here tomorrow,
Things will never be the same,
Cause I won't wait,
Cause you won't change,
And you'll always be this way.
Now I'm gonna get you today,
And theres one thing I know...
CHORUS
Run away, run away, I'm running as fast as I can.
Run away, run away, I'll never go back again.
Run away, run away.
I don't wanna think about you
or think about me.
Don't wanna figure this out.
I don't wanna think about you
or think about me.
Don't wanna talk this one out...

I Wanna Destroy You
Originally recorded by the soft boys
I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you
I feel it coming on again
Just like it did before
They fill your mind with boredom
And they lead you off to war
The way we treat each other
Really makes me feel ill
And if youre gonna fight
Then youre just dying to get killed
I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you
A box upon the media
And everything you read
They tell you your opinions
And theyre very good indeed
I wanna destroy you
And when I have destroyed you
Ill come pickin at your bones
And you wont have a single item
Left to call your own
I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you
Wanna destroy you
Wanna destroy you
