"American Idiot"
Don't want to be an American idiot. Don't want a nation under the new media And can you hear the sound of hysteria? The subliminal mind fuck America. Welcome to a new kind of tension. All across the alien nation. Where everything isn't meant to be okay. Television dreams of tomorrow. We're not the ones who're meant to follow. For that's enough to argue. Well maybe I'm the faggot America. I'm not a part of a redneck agenda. Now everybody do the propaganda. And sing along to the age of paranoia. Welcome to a new kind of tension. All across the alien nation. Where everything isn't meant to be okay. Television dreams of tomorrow. We're not the ones who're meant to follow. For that's enough to argue. Don't want to be an American idiot. One nation controlled by the media. Information age of hysteria. It's calling out to idiot America. Welcome to a new kind of tension. All across the alien nation. Where everything isn't meant to be okay. Television dreams of tomorrow. We're not the ones who're meant to follow. For that's enough to argue.
You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching, Love like you'll never be hurt, Sing like there's nobody listening, And live like it's heaven on earth.
-William W. Purkey
I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best. Marilyn Monroe
The Road Not Taken Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim Because it was grassy and wanted wear, Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I marked the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. -Robert Frost
A Soldier
He is that fallen lance that lies as hurled, That lies unlifted now, come dew, come rust, But still lies pointed as it plowed the dust. If we who sight along it round the world, See nothing worthy to have been its mark, It is because like men we look too near, Forgetting that as fitted to the sphere, Our missiles always make too short an arc. They fall, they rip the grass, they intersect The curve of earth, and striking, break their own; They make us cringe for metal-point on stone. But this we know, the obstacle that checked And tripped the body, shot the spirit on Further than target ever showed or shone.
-Robert Frost
"Basket Case"
Do you have the time To listen to me whine About nothing and everything All at once I am one of those Melodramatic fools Neurotic to the bone No doubt about it Sometimes I give myself the creeps Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me It all keeps adding up I think I'm cracking up Am I just paranoid? Am I just stoned? I went to a shrink To analyze my dreams She says it's lack of sex That's bringing me down I went to a whore She said my life's a bore So quit my whining cause It's bringing her down Sometimes I give myself the creeps Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me It all keeps adding up I think I'm cracking up Am I just paranoid? Uh, yuh, yuh, ya Grasping to control So I better hold on Sometimes I give myself the creeps Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me It all keeps adding up I think I'm cracking up Am I just paranoid? Am I just stoned? "21 Guns"
Do you know what's worth fighting for? When it's not worth dying for? Does it take your breath away and you feel yourself suffocating? Does the pain weigh out the pride? And you look for a place to hide? Did someone break your heart inside,you're in ruins One, 21 Guns Lay down your arms Give up the fight One, 21 Guns
Throw up your arms into the sky You and I ... When you're at the end of the road And you lost all sense of control And your thoughts have taken their toll When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul Your faith walks on broken glass and the hangover doesn't pass Nothing's ever built to last, you're in ruins One, 21 Guns Lay down your arms Give up the fight One, 21 Guns Throw up your arms into the sky You and I ... Did you try to live on your own? When you burned down the house and home? Did you stand too close to the fire? Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone When it's time to live and let die And you can't get another try Something inside this heart has died,you're in ruins One, 21 Guns Lay down your arms Give up the fight One, 21 Guns Throw up your arms into the sky One, 21 Guns Lay down your arms Give up the fight One, 21 Guns Throw up your arms into the sky You and I
Dirge
COME away, come away, death, And in sad cypres let me be laid; Fly away, fly away, breath;
I am slain by a fair cruel maid. My shroud of white, stuck all with yew, O prepare it! My part of death, no one so true Did share it. Not a flower, not a flower sweet, On my black coffin let there be strown; Not a friend, not a friend greet My poor corse, where my bones shall be thrown: A thousand thousand sighs to save, Lay me, O, where Sad true lover never find my grave To weep there!
-William Shakespeare
A Madrigal
Crabbed Age and Youth Cannot live together: Youth is full of pleasance,
Age is full of care; Youth like summer morn, Age like winter weather; Youth like summer brave, Age like winter bare: Youth is full of sports, Age's breath is short, Youth is nimble, Age is lame: Youth is hot and bold, Age is weak and cold, Youth is wild, and Age is tame:Age, I do abhor thee; Youth, I do adore thee; O! my Love, my Love is young! Age, I do defy theeO sweet shepherd, hide thee, For methinks thou stays too long. -William Shakespeare
BUKO
Naalala ko pa Nung nililigawan pa lamang kita Dadalaw tuwing gabi Masilayan lamang ang yong mga ngiti At Ikay sasabihan Bukas ng alas siyete sa dating tagpuan Buo ang araw ko
Marinig ko lang ang mga himig mo Hindi ko man alam kung nasan ka Wala man tayong komunikasyon Mag hihintay sayo buong magdamag Dahil ikaw ang buhay ko Chorus: Kung inaakala mo Ang pag-ibig koy magbabago Itaga mo sa bato Dumaan man ang maraming pasko Kahit na di mo na abot ang sahig Kahit na di mo na ko marinig Ikaw pa rin ang buhay ko Verse: Naalala ko pa Nung pinapangarap pa lamang kita Hahatid, susunduin Kahit mga bituin aking susungkitin Chorus: Kung inaakala mo Ang pag-ibig koy magbabago Itaga mo sa bato Dumaan man ang maraming pasko Kahit na di mo na abot ang sahig Kahit na di mo na ko marinig Ikaw pa rin ang buhay ko Bridge: Araw-araw kitang liligawan Haharanahin ka lagi Kitang liligawan Haharanahin ka lagi Chorus: Kung inaakala mo Ang pag-ibig koy magbabago Itaga mo sa bato Pumuti man ang mga buhok ko ohhhh... Kung inaakala mo Ang pag-ibig koy magbabago Itaga mo sa bato Dumaan man ang maraming pasko Kung inaakala mo Ang pag-ibig koy magbabago Itaga mo sa bato Dumaan man ang maraming pasko Kahit na kumulubot ang balat Kahit na hirap ka nang dumilat Kahit na di mo na abot ang sahig Kahit na di mo na ako marinig Ikaw parin(ikaw pa rin) Ang buhay ko.
FIREFLIES
You would not believe your eyes If ten million fireflies Lit up the world as I fell asleep 'Cause they'd fill the open air And leave teardrops everywhere You'd think me rude But I would just stand and stare I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep 'Cause everything is never as it seems 'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs From ten thousand lightning bugs As they tried to teach me how to dance A foxtrot above my head A sock hop beneath my bed A disco ball is just hanging by a thread I'd like to make myself believe That planet Earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep 'Cause everything is never as it seems When I fall asleep Leave my door open just a crack (Please take me away from here) 'Cause I feel like such an insomniac (Please take me away from here) Why do I tire of counting sheep (Please take me away from here) When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
To ten million fireflies I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes I got misty eyes as they said farewell But I'll know where several are If my dreams get real bizarre 'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar I'd like to make myself believe That planet Earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep 'Cause everything is never as it seems When I fall asleep I'd like to make myself believe That planet Earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep 'Cause everything is never as it seems When I fall asleep I'd like to make myself believe That planet Earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep Because my dreams are bursting at the seams
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.
-Abraham Lincoln
Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
-Confucius
The Necklace
I'd been invited to a ball. My gown was nice, but needed more. And so I gave a friend a call, Who lent a necklace which I wore. The diamonds sparkled in the light. I felt so special with them on. In joy, I danced away the night, Till I noticed the necklace gone. I couldn't find it anywhere. So, I bought one like it instead. The years of debt were hard to bear.
One day I told my friend. She said, 'All your problems were such a waste, ' 'Because that necklace was just paste.'
-Ima Ryma
Back to School I'm going back to school today. I haven't been there in a while. I have to finish up, let's say, Some stuff that's sort of juvenile. I can't remember 'xactly why I got this notion in my head, That today is to do or die, 'Cause tomorrow is done or dead. I aim to enter on the run
Before the schoolies even know; Once in a classroom, pull my gun; Like shootin' ducks all in a row. I'm going back to school today. Killin' some kids will be child's play.
-Ima Ryma
TO THE SKY
Da-da, da-da Da-da-da, da-da-da-da... Da-da, da-da Da-da-da, da-da-da-da... Shipwreck in a sea of faces; There's a dreamy world up there Dear friends in higher places, Carry me away from here Travel light, let the sun eclipse you 'Cause your flight is about to leave And there's more to this brave adventure Than you'd ever believe... Bird's-eye view; Awake the stars 'cause they're all around you Wide eyes will always brighten the blue Chase your dreams And remember me, sweet bravery 'Cause after all those wings will take you up so high... So bid the forest floor good-bye as you race the wind and Take to the sky... (You take to the sky) Da-da, da-da Da-da-da, da-da-da-da... On the heels of war and wonder, There's a stormy world up there You can't whisper above the thunder, But you can fly anywhere [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsty.com/owlcity-to-the-sky-lyrics.html ] Purple burst of paper birds This picture paints a thousand words So take a breathe of myth and mystery And don't look back
Bird's-eye view; Awake the stars 'cause they're all around you Wide eyes will always brighten the blue Chase your dreams And remember me, sweet bravery 'Cause after all those wings will take you up so high... So bid the forest floor good-bye as you race the wind and Take to the sky... (Take to the sky...) There's a realm above the trees (Where the lost are finally found) So touch your feathers to the breeze... (And leave the ground)
Bird's-eye view; Awake the stars 'cause they're all around you Wide eyes will always brighten the blue Chase your dreams And remember me, sweet bravery 'Cause after all those wings will take you up so high... So bid the forest floor good-bye as you race the wind and Take to the sky... You take to the sky... (You take to the sky...) Da-da, da-da Da-da-da, da-da-da-da... You take to the sky...
MAGKABILANG MUNDO
Magkalayong agwat Gagawin ang lahat Mapasa'yo lang ang Pag-ibig na alay sa'yo Ang awit na to ay awit ko sa'yo Sana ay madama Magkabila man ang ating mundo [Verse 2:] Kahit nasan ka man Hindi ka papalitan Nag iisa ka lang Kahit na langit ka at lupa ako Ang bituin ay aking dadamhin Pag naiisip ka sabay kayong Nagniningning [CHORUS:] Dito ay umaga at dyan ay gabi
Ang oras natin ay magkasalungat Ang aking hapunan ay Iyong umagahan Ngunit kahit na anong mangyari Balang araw ay makakapiling ka [Verse 3:]
Hihintayin kita Kahit nasan kapa Di ako mawawala Kahit na may dumating pa Andito lang ako iibig Saiyo hangga't nandyan ka pa Hangga't wala ka pang iba {REPEAT CHORUS 4X}
