Lyrics


1. STAND UP AND BE STRONG

You might be right
You might be wrong
You might just think your life has gone on for too long

Your knees get weak
And your heart grows cold
And you're tired of doing everything you're told

And nothing can take away from you
What you take and what you've been through

Stand up and be strong
Stand up and be strong
It won't take long
You can't go wrong
Stand up and be strong

You might have to fight
You might have to cry
You might have to cry
You might have to fight
Stand up and be strong

If you live in the hills
You take too many pills
If you've lost the thrill
Against your own will
Stand up and be strong

And nothing can take away from you
What you take
Well, you know what you've got to do

Stand up and be strong
Stand up and be strong
It wont take long
You cant go wrong
Stand up and be strong

If you get all depressed
When you get undressed
If you're life's a mess
Remember you're blessed

Stand up and be?
Stand up and be?

Stand up and be strong
Stand up and be strong
It won't take long
You can't go wrong
Stand up and be strong
Stand up and be strong

Stand up and be strong
Stand up and be strong
You can't go wrong
It won't take long
Stand up and be strong


2. MISERY (LIVE)

(One, two
One, two, three, four)

They say misery
Loves company
We could start a company
And make misery

Frustrated Incorporated

Well, I know just what you need
I might just have the thing
I know what you pay to see

Put me out of my misery
I'd do it for you, would you do it for me
We will always be busy
Making misery

We could build a factory
And make misery
We'll create the cure
We made the disease

Frustrated Incorporated (×2)

Well, I know just what you need
I might just have the thing
I know what you pay to feel

Put me out of my misery
All you suicide kings and you drama queens
Forever after happily
Making misery

Did you satisfy your greed
Get what you need
Was it only envy
So empty

Frustrated Incorporated (×2)

Frustrated Incorporated
(Put me out of my misery)

Frustrated Incorporated
(I'd do it for you, would you do it for me)

Frustrated Incorporated
(Forever after happily)

Frustrated Incorporated
(Making misery)

Frustrated Incorporated
(Making misery)


3. SUCCESS IS NOT SO SWEET (LIVE)

Blood on the sidewalk
Washing down the drain
Rushing 'round the crime scene
To hide behind the stain

Hide behind the pain

Blue-colored lady
Black eye behind her shades
It's funny how the players
They can't survive the game

I'll survive the game

Rulemaker
Dreamtaker
Numbers on a sheet

The execution
The grand delusion
Success is not so sweet

Damaged for the first time
Who knew it'd be you?
You could try to save me
And I'll try to save you

Try to save you

Dealmaker
Heartbreaker
Numbers on a sheet

The wild confusion
The strange delusion
Success is not so sweet

Success is not so sweet

You want a baby
I know you do
I'll be your baby
And I'll take care of you

I'll take care of you

Widowmaker
Dealbreaker
The blood runs down the street

The execution
Conclusion
Success is not so sweet

Dreamfaker
Pocket-shaker
The numbers on a sheet

The execution
The institution
Success is not so sweet

Success is not so sweet (×2)


4. JUST LIKE ANYONE (LIVE)

She walks into the outhouse
The cold night breathes into her face
The flies are standing still now
The moon it spills through the place

And she starts wondering it's like to be liked by everyone
And like everyone be just like anyone
And just wants to be so just like anyone
Just like anyone

She reaches through the darkness
Her fingers touch the porcelain seat
She spins and pulls her pants down
The cold air holds her like a theif

She starts wondering what they mean,
Do they just be mean to be mean
And thinking about the scene,
Do they just want to be seen
And trying not to seem so just like anyone
Just like anyone

The door comes screeching open
She walks into the evening air
She disappears in the darkness
Alls left the faint smell of her hair

She's done wondering what it's like to be liked by everyone
And like everyone be just like anyone
And just wants to be so just like anyone

And wondering what they mean,
Do they just mean to be mean
And thinking about the scene,
Do they just want to be seen
And trying not to seem so just like anyone (just like anyone)

Just like anyone (×9)


5. SLOWLY RISING (LIVE)

She don't need an introduction
She ain't gonna stop production
She's gonna make you feel a suction
She's got the weapons of mass destruction

She's solar-powered
She's never saying anything
And the sun shines out of her everywhere

She sees best without her glasses
She does well in all her classes
A cheek for your lips and a cheek for the masses

She's got weapons (she's got weapons)
She's got weapons

It's so strange
You don't change
It's so strange
You don't change

Slowly rising

She's solar-powered
She's never saying anything
And the sun shines out of her everywhere

He's got the money and you can't have it
(He's got the money and you can't have it)
She's got the power and he's got the habit
(She's got the power and he's got the habit)
She's gonna make you feel her posture
(She's gonna make you feel her posture)

She's got weapons (she's got weapons)
She's got weapons (weapons, weapons)

It's so strange
You don't change
It's so strange
You don't change

Slowly rising

She's solar powered
She's never saying anything
And the sun shines off her everywhere
