The streets are empty now
The bars are closed
People ask me why
But no one knows
I watch the day go by
And then it’s late
I hear the neighbors cry
And watch them age
Let’s be thankful that
Our family’s close
All my friends are finally back home
All my friends are finally back home
We used to act as if
We’re so immune
So is it fact or myth
Will I die soon?
I never hurt a fly
I’d never tell a lie
I’ve been so awfully kind
So why is it my time?
Let’s be thankful that
We’re not alone
All my friends are finally back home
All my friends are finally back home
Love is all around you
It’s just a step away
So let me tell you that
Your love is hard to fake
Bring it on home to me
Bring that love on home
All my friends are finally back home
All my friends are finally back home
All my friends are finally back home
All my friends are finally back home

Ordinary People

It’s hard enough
To say goodbye and mean it
Try to sleep alone
Wonder why you’re gone
Ask yourself,
“Was it all that bad?”
Suddenly you’re mad
Remember what you said
Follow your heart
And you’ll end up depressed
You think you’re special
But you’re just like the rest
Did anybody ever tell you that
It doesn’t hurt if you pretend to laugh
Ordinary people
In boring love
[Spoken]
Oh my god, I’m so bored
(I’m so bored, I’m so bored)
God, I’m bored as fuck
I’m fired up
Angrier than Jesus
Spread your words and mean it
Give your body up
Sanctify everyone around you
Set yourself apart
Dance and spread your love
Follow your heart
And you’ll end up depressed
You think you’re special
But you’re just like the rest
Did anybody ever tell you that
It doesn’t hurt if you pretend to laugh
Ordinary people
Living boring lives
[Spoken]
I’m so bored (I’m so bored)
Mom, can we go home? I’m so bored.
(I’m so bored)
Oh my god

Follow the leader til we drown
A little bit longer, a little bit longer
They burned what we love to the ground
A little bit stronger, a little bit stronger
U - S - A
PLAY - ALL - DAY
LOVE - OUR - WAY
IN THE U - S - A
Some of you are big and scary
Making life a living hell
Some of us they try to bury
Time for us to break the spell
Follow the leader til we drown
A little bit longer, a little bit longer
They burned what we love to the ground
A little bit stronger, a little bit stronger
U - S - A
PLAY - ALL - DAY
LOVE - OUR - WAY
IN THE U - S - A
Fantasize of better days
Hope for freedom, hope for change
In the end, we're just animals
Tripping out and acting strange
U - S - A
PLAY - ALL - DAY
LOVE - OUR - WAY
IN THE U - S - A

Oh, you don’t have to try hard
Anyone can play
Feverish with love for you
Tell me that you’ll stay
I wanna hold hands together
I’m gonna love you forever
Won’t you be mine all the time
We’re gonna get down tonight, oh
Ain’t no special rules, it’s just the facts of life
Ain’t it awfully cruel, it’s just the facts of life
Ain’t no special rules, it’s just the facts of life
Ain’t we all confused, it’s just the facts of life
Soak up the moon above you
Let it be your friend
Act like you mean it cuz we’re
Sticking to the end
I wanna hold hands together
I’m gonna love you forever
Won’t you be mine all the time
We’re gonna get down tonight, girl
Ain’t no special rules, it’s just the facts of life
Ain’t it awfully cruel, it’s just the facts of life
Ain’t no special rules, it’s just the facts of life
Ain’t we all confused, it’s just the facts of life
I wanna hold hands together
I’m gonna love you forever
Won’t you be mine all the time
We’re gonna get down tonight, girl
Ain’t no special rules, it’s just the facts of life
Ain’t it awfully cruel, it’s just the facts of life (so cruel)
Ain’t no special rules, it’s just the facts of life
Ain’t we all confused, it’s just the facts of life

All out of time for you
Nothin’ that you can do
It feels good to cut you loose
And I’m free to live my truth
I’m gonna live my life
I’m gonna risk it all
I’m gonna learn from the failure
I’m gonna get back up when I fall
It was gettin’ tough to be the one
You wanted me to be
When will you let me go?
I gotta be free
Let me live my life the way I see
All out of time for you
Nothin’ that you can do
It feels good to cut you loose
And I’m free to live my truth
I wish I could stay
But I’ve gotta go
Gotta make my way
Gotta hit the road
Wish me luck
Tell me you won’t forget
Don’t let our memories fade
There ain’t no turnin’ back
I’ll see you on the other side of the sunset
All out of time for you
Nothin’ that you can do
It feels good to cut you loose
And I’m free to live my truth
All out of time for you (all out of time)
All out of time for you (all out of time)
All out of time for you (all out of time)
All out of time for you (all out of time)
All out of time for you
All out of time for you
All out of time for you

Finally a disaster
We can watch the world burn
Pray to God that He’ll help you
But I guess it’s not His turn.
Your friends and your enemies
Will all end up the same
Six feet beneath the ground now ain’t that a cryin’ shame
Fill your cup to the top
Give it all that you got
And we’ll dump that whole thing out
Because that’s what life’s about
Rock ‘n’ roll revelations (rock ‘n’ roll revelations)
Revelations (rock ‘n’ roll revelations)
Rock ‘n’ roll revelations (rock ‘n’ roll revelations)
Revelations (rock ‘n’ roll revelations)
We took control of the world
And we pissed it all away
Tried to rebuild the wheel
But we all know it’s a fake
Counterfeit relationships
Everyone’s a fraud
Find yourself a place to hide
You’re face-to-face with God
Ain’t no angels nowadays
They didn’t like our backwards ways
And we’ll all be punished now
Ain’t no use in askin’ how
Rock ‘n’ roll revelations (rock ‘n’ roll revelations)
Revelations (rock ‘n’ roll revelations)
Rock ‘n’ roll revelations (rock ‘n’ roll revelations)
Revelations (rock ‘n’ roll revelations)

Your words are so ice cold
But not enough
For them to cut me down
I keep on coming back
You’re like a drug
But I get passed around
No matter what you say to me
I’m in love and you hurt me like you do
I know I should not stay with you
But what a ride
Suffering for you
Every single day
And every single way
I’m suffering for you (suffering for you)
Suffering for you (suffering for you)
You never feel so good
As it does when you run back to me
I’ll never be enough
That’s alright
Cuz you’re so hard to please
Every flower has a weed
Like yin and yang
And you are that to me
Pain is not my enemy
I need a lot
I’m not afraid to bleed
Every single day
And every single way
I’m suffering for you (suffering for you)
Suffering for you (suffering for you)
Suffering for you (suffering for you)
Suffering for you (suffering for you)

I could stare down all my troubles
And walk a million miles
I could stomach so much heartbreak
But I won’t walk back to you
I won’t walk back to you
I’ll happily admit
I’ve taken all the hits
I’ve pushed the outer limits
I can tell myself I did it
But I won’t walk back to you
No, I won’t walk back to you
I won’t walk back to you
I won’t walk back to you
I faithfully stood by you
Together ‘til the end
But the end has come and gone
And I won’t walk back to you
No I won’t walk back to you
I’ve tasted bitter failure
Got drunk on my success
Full of sweet perfection
And fearful of no less
But I won’t walk back to you
No I won’t walk back to you
No I won’t walk back to you
I won’t walk back to you
(I won’t walk back to you)

People love to fuck you
Every single day
People try and fuck you
They always act the same
(La la la la la la la la la la la la)
Your parents fuck you up
Your friends fuck you down
Everyone you know
Is down to fuck around
People always fuck you
Every single day
The world’s gonna fuck you
No matter what you say
(La la la la la la la la la la la la)
The world’s gonna fuck you
The world’s gonna fuck you
The world’s gonna fuck you
The world’s gonna fuck you
The rich will always fuck you
It’s always been this way
You’ll just keep getting fucked
By criminals and fakes
People love to fuck you
Until the end of time
Let’s try and make it a good one
If you would be so kind
(La la la la la la la la la la la la)
