1. INDEPENDENT

Read my lips I don't care what you say
I might listen but I'll do it my own way
Don't you see it don't mean nothing to me
When all's said and done I'll stand on my two feet

Let me be I live by my own rules
Independence - independence
Can't you see - it's my right to choose
Independence - independent

Once they tried to teach teach me all their rules
I had my own ideas didn't fit in in their schools
Don't they see that we all have a brain
There to learn not to be whipped and tamed

Let me be I live by my own rules
Independence - independence
Can't you see - it's my right to choose
Independence - independent

Read my lips I don't care what you say
I might listen but I'll do it my own way
Don't you see it don't mean nothing to me
When all's said and done I'll stand on my two feet

Let me be I live by my own rules
Independence - independence
Can't you see - it's my right to choose
Independence - independent


2. FREE

It's beyond me the differences in our minds
In my head it's just as plain as day
To be free - free of hate peace of mind
Exorcise the demons that can leave you blind

What I want liberate
From the things that bring you down
Free your self and all around
What I see nauseates
Eats the life inside of me
Kills the life inside of me

Hatred venom seeping through your veins
Question everything I know is true
Vengeance downward spiral never ends
Unity for what reasons never know

What I want liberate
From the things that bring you down
Free your self and all around
What I see nauseates
Eats the life inside of me
Kills the life inside of me

To be free
To be free

Choose sides why must it be this way
Answer fear of the unknown
Decide where do you draw the line
Our pride - pride in the human race

What I want liberate
From the things that bring you down
Free your self and all around
What I see nauseates
Eats the life inside of me
Kills the life inside of me

To be free

Overcome false boundaries built to keep us far apart
Drilled from when we were very young into what we think is true
Strength in us to push aside walls in which we'll never stay
Time for us to pool our pride and unify our brotherhood

To be free


3. JUST LIKE THAT

Walls once built to protect can become a prison
The shifting sands of time consume all in its path
Hours to days months to years perpetual motion
I hope you realize before it's gone

Now's the time to open your eyes
Tomorrow may be too late
You can never tell
One second here next second gone

See how fast things change - they change just like that
See how fast things change - they change just like that

See how they change
Just like that

When you stop and think about the grand scheme
We're merely seconds in the clock that's time
Sometimes it's hard to see just what you've got
I hope you realize before it's gone

Now's the time to open your eyes
Tomorrow may be too late
You can never tell
One second here next second gone

See how fast things change - they change just like that
See how fast things change - they change just like that

See how they change
Just like that

When you stop and think about the grand scheme
We're merely seconds in the clock that's time
Sometimes it's hard to see just what you've got
I hope you realize before it's gone

Now's the time to open your eyes
Tomorrow may be too late
You can never tell
One second here next second gone

See how fast things change - they change just like that
See how fast things change - they change just like that

See how they change
Just like that


4. SUPREMACY

I and I alone
You I can't condone
Don't you see what I mean
It's all laid out simplicity

You won't even have to think
You'll just hear the words I speak

What you don't agree
Where is your morality
Questioning authority
leads to the road depravity

Undesirable impurity
Questioning supremacy

Abuse of power
In an ivory tower
When you are so far removed
Issues seem to confuse
When you are so far removed
Issues seem to confuse
What is right you try to choose

Abuse of power you can't lose
Don't you see what I mean
Led around so blindly
Influence of majority
Racist attitude is stupidity
Don't you see what I mean
There must be equality
When we're cut we all bleed
There is no supremacy

What you don't agree
Where is your morality
Questioning authority
Leads to the road depravity

Undesirable impurity
Questioning supremacy

I and I alone
You I can't condone
Don't you see what I mean
It's all laid out simplisticly

You won't even have to think
You'll just hear the words I speak


5. IF ONLY

(Instrumental)


6. CRAWLING

You say you're misunderstood
I say you give it real good
Now you work your way back - you're crawling
You say you've always been there
I say I don't understand
You say you're back for good - you're crawling

But your time now is gone
You try to hang on
Try to stay on your feet
But now you're crawling - crawling to me
Crawling - crawling
Crawling - crawling
Back to me
Crawling - crawling

Is this what you want
Take it right back to the start
When you fall on your face - you're crawling
Try it all on your own
Give it all that you know
But when you come up short - you're crawling

But your time now is gone
You try to hang on
Try to stay on your feet
But now you're crawling - crawling to me
Crawling - crawling
Crawling - crawling
Back to me
Crawling - crawling

Now you want all of my time
I see what you are like
Enter into my life - crawling
You know no words to say
You always like to play
When on your hands and knees - you're crawling

But your time now is gone
You try to hang on
Try to stay on your feet
But now you're crawling - crawling to me
Crawling - crawling
Crawling - crawling
Back to me
Crawling - crawling


7. PRESSURE

Full of potential
Yet nothing there
Filled with infinite ideas
Why so hard
Don't know what's the problem
Seems like pulling teeth
Never had this happen
I must overcome

Pressure - pressure
Pressure - in my head
Pressure - pressure
Pressure - in my head

Tap into the bank of knowledge
Reaching for the source
Look around in my mind
For some meaning
Don't know what I might find
Hope I find it soon
Taking just too much time
Sitting in this room

Pressure - pressure
Pressure - in my head
Pressure - pressure
Pressure - in my head

Don't like what I'm seeing - lack of drive and thought
Don't know how to fix it - time to start
Days of deep reflection - nights of sweat and work
Have to beat this - this is my reward

Look around in my mind
Hope to find
Any ideas I like
And can write
Have to have some meaning
Not just some words
Put some music to it
Get to work

Pressure - pressure
Pressure - in my head
Pressure - pressure
Pressure - in my head


8. PRODUCT

I'm tired of the games we play
I'm cashing in my chips today
And while I have my sanity
I'm taking what is close to me
I still have my integrity
My honor and my pride
These are things you cannot take
So don't waste your time

I'm tired of things I wouldn't do
I'm tired of things I wouldn't say
I'm tired of all the pleasantries
It's all apart of the game we play

Now I see I cannot be what isn't me
Now I know I'm not part of the bigger show
Now I feel the person I am is truly real
So to you I have revealed my basic truth

A trying thing this life we lead
Some obscured reality
A constant fight for privacy
To preserve my sanity
What you've got's not what you see
Perspectives change from you to me
Is this what you're trying to be
A mirror of society

Once inside the looking glass
Colors fade so very fast
Who are you do you know
Or just a face for the freakshow

Now I see I cannot be what isn't me
Now I know I'm not part of the bigger show
Now I feel the person I am is truly real
So to you I have revealed my basic truth

A trying thing this life we lead
Some obscured reality
A constant fight for privacy
To preserve my sanity
What you've got's not what you see
Perspectives change from you to me
Is this what you're trying to be
A mirror of society

Once inside the looking glass
Colors fade so very fast
Who are you do you know
Or just a face for the freakshow

Now I see I cannot be what isn't me
Now I know I'm not part of the bigger show
Now I feel the person I am is truly real
So to you I have revealed my basic truth


9. I NEVER SAID GOODBYE

I've taken you for granted
I've known you since I was born
And all of a sudden
You've been taken now you're gone
There's so much
For me to say
I'm afraid It's much too late
You've been taken away

I wanted you
To see me succeed
To make you proud
And have you close to me
But now that you're gone
It brings tears to my eyes
I miss you so much
I never said goodbye

I never said goodbye

Your memory lives on
you're close to my heart
I think of you
And we're not apart
There's so much
For me to say
I'm afraid it's much too late
You've been taken away

I wanted you
To see me succeed
To make you proud
And have you close to me
But now that you're gone
It brings tears to my eyes
I miss you so much
I never said goodbye

I never said goodbye

Your memory lives on
you're close to my heart
I think of you
And we're not apart
There's so much
For me to say
I'm afraid it's much too late
You've been taken away

I wanted you
To see me succeed
To make you proud
And have you close to me
But now that your're gone
It brings tears to my eyes
I miss you so much
I never said goodbye

I never said goodbye


10. OPEN BOOK

Lazy, boring, uninterested
Amused by myself
Distasteful abhorring
Trapped in this self

An open book, turn the page
What do you see
Mark your place, take a look
What do you see
What do you see
What do you see

Charming delightful a pleasure
Not a dream
Engaging amusing eccentric
What does it mean

An open book turn the page
What do you see
Mark your place take a look
What do you see
What do you see
What do you see

Charming delightful a pleasure
Not a dream
Engaging amusing eccentric
What does it mean

An open book turn the page
What do you see
Mark your place take a look
What do you see
What do you see
What do you see


11. DO IT

I know what you're gonna say so don't
I know what you're gonna say so don't
I know what you're gonna say so don't
I know what you're gonna say so don't

I never liked to talk too much anyway
I never listened to what other people say
Actions speak louder than words
You should move and not be heard

Do it
Just do it
Just do it
Do it

I've never seen what I've always heard
I'm getting tired of being let down
I've always known you trust your own
Want something done do it yourself

Do it
Just do it
Just do it
Do it

I know what you're gonna say so don't
I know what you're gonna say so don't
I know what you're gonna say so don't
I know what you're gonna say so don't

I'm growing tired of all of this
The larger you grow the worse it gets
What can you say say to anyone
I know what you're gonna say so don't

Do it
Just do it
Just do it
Do it
