Red Flag

Cast off the crutch that kills the pain,
The red flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don’t need today,
When they live in the sins of yesterday (2x)

Well I’ve never seen us act like this,
Our only hope is the minds of kids,
And they’ll show us a thing or two

Our only weapons are the guns of youth,
It’s only time before they tighten the noose,
And then the hunt will be on for you

The red flag waving never ment the same
No, the red flag waving never ment the same

Cast off the crutch that kills the pain,
The red flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don’t need today,
When they live in the sins of yesterday (2x)

Like the smallest bee packs a sting,
Like a pawn checkmates a king,
We’ll attack at the crack of dawn

Build a ladder if there’s a wall,
Don’t be afraid to slip and fall,
Speak for yourself, or they’ll speak for you

The red flag waving never ment the same
No, the red flag waving never ment the same

Cast off the crutch that kills the pain,
The red flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don’t need today,
When they live in the sins of yesterday (2x)

Like a fire, don’t need water
Like a jury, needs a liar
Like a riot, don’t need order
Like a madman, needs a martyr

We don’t need them! (8x)

Cast off the crutch that kills the pain,
The red flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don’t need today,
When they live in the sins of yesterday (3x)

[Hintergrund] We don’t need them!

[Vordergrund] Cast off the crutch that kills the pain,
The red flag waving never meant the same
The kids of tomorrow don’t need today,
When they live in the sins of yesterday (2x)

We don’t need them!

Fallen Leaves

In a crooked little town, they were lost and never found
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves… on the ground

I hitched a ride, until the coast
To leave behind, all of my ghost
Searching for something, I couldn´t find at home

Can’t get no job, can you spare a dime?
Just one more hit, and I’ll be fine
I swear to God, this’ll be my one last time!

In a crooked little town, they were lost and never found
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves… on the ground
Run away before you drown, or the streets will beat you down
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves… on the ground

When it gets dark, in Pigeon Park
Voice in my head, will soon be fed
By the vultures, that circle round the dead!

In a crooked little town, they were lost and never found
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves… on the ground
Run away before you drown, or the streets will beat you down
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves… on the ground

I never once thought, I’d ever be caught!
Staring at sidewalks, hiding my track marks!
I left my best friends, or did they just leave me?

In a crooked little town, they were lost and never found
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves… on the ground(x2)
Run away before you drown, or the streets will beat you down
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves… on the ground
Run away before you drown
Fallen leaves,fallen leaves,fallen leaves... on the ground(x2)

The Ex

Well, I looked at her face and then I knew she changed,
My heart turned black and then the sky turned gray!
My heart turned black and then the sky turned gray!

So I sat in my room for 27 days,
No she never called, I had something to say!
No she never called, I had something to say!

I don't know much and I don't know how...

Why would she put me through such torture,
I would have given my life for her,
She was the one that knocked me over,
Now I'm alone sitting on the corner

Well, I heard she's great and her new boyfriend's lame,
She can go to hell I'll never be the same!
She can go to hell I'll never be the same!

And these open wounds will heal with time they say,
My heart turned black and then the sky turned gray!
My heart turned black and then the sky turned gray!

I don't know much and I don't know how...

Why would she put me through such torture,
I would have given my life for her,
She was the one that knocked me over,
Now I'm alone sitting on the corner

Why would she put me through such torture,
I would have given my life for her,
She was the one that knocked me over,
Now I'm alone sitting on the corner

I don't know much and I don't know how...

Why would she put me through such torture,
I would have given my life for her,
She was the one that knocked me over,
Now I'm alone sitting on the corner

Why would she put me through such torture,
I would have given my life for her,
She was the one that knocked me over,
Now I'm alone sitting on the corner

This Suffering

Like a target drawn across my chest,
She’s a bullet in Russian Roulette
You said you’d never turn your back on me?
Rescue me! Rescue me!
Would you stand by me, or bury me?
Bury me!

Why don’t we end this lie?
I can’t pretend this time
I need a friend to find,
My broken mind, before it falls to pieces…

Refrain:

Every time,(This suffering!)
You tried to leave(This suffering) me blind
You’ll never close(This suffering) my eyes,
You’ll never close my eyes and watch me die!

And when she spins the bottle round and round,
Every time it leaves me gagged and bound
You said you’d never turn your back on me?
Rescue me! Rescue me!
Would you stand by me, or bury me?
Bury me!

Why don’t we end this lie?
I can’t pretend this time
I need a friend to find,
My broken mind, before it falls to pieces…

Refrain(x2)

Misery, won’t get the best of me
‘Cause now I’m calling, yes I’m calling on your bluff
Misery, won’t get the best of me
‘Cause now I’m calling, yes I’m calling on your bluff
Throw down the cards, I’ve had enough!

Why don’t we end this lie?
I can’t pretend this time
I need a friend to find,
My broken mind, before it falls to pieces…

Refrain(x3)
