SESSION

I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT GOT THIS WAY.  I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG SHE'S
GONNA STAY.  EVERY WEEK IT'S THE SAME, IN HER ROOM- THAT'S WHY I CAME.
HERE I GO, I GO AGAIN, OUR RENDEZVOUS' NEVER SEEM TO END.  I KNOW WHERE
I'LL BE, I'LL MAKE THIS CONFESSION- BACK IN HER BED FOR ANOTHER GODDAMN
SESSION.  I'LL NEVER LEARN, GOD KNOWS I TRY. KEEP COMING BACK FOR SESSION
AND I DON'T KNOW WHY.  I'LL NEVER LEARN, I'LL NEVER SEE, JUST TELL ME WHY
THESE SESSIONS GOT A HOLD ON ME.  SOME MIGHT SAY IT'S A FLING, FOR ALL
I KNOW IT DON'T MEAN A THING.  EITHER WAY I CAN'T COMPLAIN, AIN'T NO
STRINGS- GUESS I GOT IT MADE.  HERE I GO, I GO AGAIN, OUR RENDEZVOUS' 
NEVER SEEM TO END.  I KNOW WHERE I'LL BE, I'LL MAKE THIS CONFESSION- BACK
IN HER BED FOR ANOTHER GODDAMN SESSION.



WE ARE ONE

WE ARE ONE WITH OURSELVES.  WE DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT ANYONE ELSE.
WELL, IT WON'T BE WRONG UNTIL OUR DAY IN THE SUN IS GONNA STOP.  THE WALLS
COME TUMBLING DOWN.  WE ARE ONE- WE ARE FREE- WE ARE HEADED FOR OBSCURITY.
WE ARE ONE- WE ARE WEAK- WE ARE GONNA MAKE OURSELVES EXTINCT.  LET IT GO,
WE'RE GONNA LET IT GO, IT'S REAL.  WE ARE ONE, YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE.  DON'T
FUCK WITH US OR WE'LL FUCK WITH YOU.  IT'S A MENTALLITY THAT KILLS THE BEST.
WE BETTER STOP.  THE WALLS COME TUMBLING DOWN.  WE ARE ONE AND IT WON'T BE
NEWS WHEN WE HANG OURSELVES WITH ONE COLLECTIVE NOOSE.  WELL, IT WON'T BE
WRONG UNTIL OUR DAY IN THE SUN IS GONNA STOP.  THE WALLS COME TUMBLING DOWN.
THE BIGGER THEY ARE, THE HARDER THEY FALL.


KICK HIM WHEN HE'S DOWN

'HEY, YOUR A RIDDLE', I SAY AS I MOVE ASIDE (LIKE I REALLY NEED YOUR 
ADVICE).  BUT YOU WON'T LEAVE IT ALONE.  LITTLE MEN TRY BUT DON'T GET A 
LOT DONE.  LIVING IN SIN DOESN'T MOVE ME EITHER WAY.  I GET A FEELING YOUR
SO VAGUE.  LIKE I SAID BEFORE, LITTLE MEN COME WHEN ANYTHING GOES.  WHEN 
THE RAIN COMES I SIT AT HOME AND PRAY.  MAKE IT ALL NUMB- I WISH IT ALL 
AWAY.  ALL I REALLY NEED IS JUST SOMEWHERE TO HIDE AWAY.  KICK HIM WHEN 
HE'S DOWN- HERE ALONE I'LL PUT UP AND FIGHT.  KICK HIM WHEN HE'S DOWN- 
BEAT ME ALL THE WAY I'LL TAKE IT ALL NIGHT.  KICK HIM WHEN HE'S DOWN- HEY,
DON'T WORRY, I'LL GET ALONG HOME ALRIGHT.  HEY, EVERYBODY'S SUPPOSED TO 
BE THE SAME.  SO HOW COME THEY'RE SO LAME?  IT'S LIKE TAKING A FALL, KEEP 
ON RUNNING BACK INTO THAT WALL.  AWAKE IN A DREAM, GET UP AND GO TO WORK,
BUT I'M FEELING LIKE SUCH A JERK.  LIKE I SAID BEFORE, LITTLE MEN COME 
WHEN EVERYTHING GOES.  'HEY YOUR A RIDDLE' I SAY MOVE ASIDE (LIKE I 
REALLY NEED YOUR ADVICE) BUT YOU WON'T LEAVE IT ALONE.  LITTLE MEN TRY BUT
DON'T GET A LOT DONE.  LIVING IN SIN DOESN'T MOVE ME EITHER WAY.  I GET A 
FEELING YOUR SO VAGUE.  LIKE I SAID BEFORE, LITTLE MEN COME WHEN ANYTHING 
GOES.


TAKE IT LIKE A MAN

WHEN YOU WON'T COME ALONG, SOME WILL FEEL LIKE YOU CAN'T FIND YOUR WAY.
HEAVEN KNOWS, HEAVEN KNOWS I'VE SEEN IT ALL BEFORE.  NOW DON'T GET ME WRONG,
I'VE SEEN MANY A LIFE GONE ASTRAY.  WHEN SOMEONE GOES, ALL YOUR BOWS WON'T 
MAKE IT ANY BETTER SO LET IT GO.  SHUTUP AND TAKE IT LIKE A MAN, YOU NEED 
US TO GET A LIFE.  FOR YOUR OWN GOOD WE'LL TAKE YOU BY THE HAND 'CAUSE YOU 
NEED A LITTLE MORE.  MAYBE NO ONE WILL SAY IT, MAYBE NO ONE'S AWARE IT GOES
ON.  ALL I KNOW, ALL I KNOW IT'S LIKE GOING OFF THE DEEP END.  COULD YOU 
MAKE A DECISION?  COULD YOU THINK FOR YOURSELF AND GO ON?  EVERYONE KNOWS,
EVERYONE KNOWS YOU'VE GOT TO FIT INTO THE MAINSTREAM TO SAVE YOUR WOES.
CLOSE YOUR EYES- LOOK AWAY NOW- MAKE BELIEVE WHILE YOU CAN.  SO YOU'D BEST
GO ALONG, DON'T LET ON IF YOU CAN'T FIND YOUR WAY.  MANY MORE, MANY MORE DO
IT FOR YOU.  BECAUSE HEAVEN KNOWS, HEAVEN KNOWS IT'S LIKE PLAYING WITH FIRE,
YOUR LIFES A THROW.    


GET IT RIGHT

I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT TO GET WHAT YOU WANT, YOU JUST GOTTA GIVE WHAT YOU 
CAN.  BUT I KNOW FOR WHAT I WANT IT DON'T COME AS EASY AS THAT.  THEY SAY, 
'LOOK OUT, BOY.  TOMORROW COMES AND THINGS WILL LOOK BETTER BY THEN'.  BUT 
I'LL LOOK OUT THE WINDOW- THEN LOOK IN THE MIRROR AT THE SAME OLD ME AGAIN.
STILL CAN'T GET IT RIGHT AND FOR ALL I KNOW, I SWEAR I NEVER WILL.  DO YOU
THINK YOU'D SELL YOUR SOUL JUST TO HAVE ONE THING TURN OUT RIGHT?  FOR THE
THOUSANDTH TIME YOU TURN AND FIND THAT IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE TO TRY.  LIKE
HOLDEN CAULFIELD, I TELL MYSELF THERE'S GOT TO BE A BETTER WAY.  THEN I LAY
IN BED AND STAR AT THE CEILING, DREAM OF BRIGHTER DAYS.  NO WAY OUT, SAME
OLD STUFF ALWAYS DRAGS ME DOWN.  NO WAY OUT, NEVER GONNA GET IT.  


DIRTY MAGIC

IN MY OWN SIMPLE WAY, I THINK SHE WANTS ME ONLY.  SHE SAID, 'COME OVER
RIGHT AWAY'.  BUT SHE'S JUST NOT THAT WAY, HER LITTLE SOUL IS STOLEN, SEE 
HER PUT ON HER BRAND NEW FACE.  PULL THE SHADES- RAZOR BLADES- YOUR SO 
TRAGIC.  I HATE YOU SO BUT I LOVE YOU MORE.  I'M SO ELASTIC- THE THINGS YOU
SAY- THE GAMES YOU PLAY- DIRTY MAGIC. I SHOULD KNOW BETTER THAN TO THINK 
I'D REACH INSIDE HER.  IT'S ALL A CLOUDY KIND OF DAZE.  SHE'S NOT SO SWEET
TODAY, SHE MOCKS ME, I'M NO FIGHTER.  IT ALL JUST SEEMS LIKE SUCH A WASTE.
IT'S OVER SIMPLIFIED.


HYPODERMIC

WHEN YOUR FEELING LOW, HYPODERMIC'S WHERE YOU GO.  WHEN YOUR WITH
YOURSELF, YOU WISH YOU COULD BE SOMEONE ELSE.  CAN'T YOU SEE LIKE YOU SAW 
ANYMORE.  CAN'T YOU FEEL LIKE YOU FELT BEFORE.  CAN'T YOU FACE ANYTHING 
ANYMORE.  WHEN LIFE'S A WASTE- RUN AWAY.  ONCE YOU GET A RIDE, DOESN'T 
MATTER WHERE YOU LIED.  ONCE YOU SHOOT IT IN, DOESN'T MATTER WHO YOU'VE 
BEEN.  YOUR REACHING IN BUT YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN.  ALL YOUR DANCE
AND SONG WON'T MATTER WHEN YOU'RE GONE. 


BURN IT UP

I THINK I'M BURNING UP INSIDE, I THINK I'LL TAKE A LITTLE RIDE.  I'M
GONNA LIGHT UP EVERYTHING IN SIGHT.  I'LL DRIVE ON BY YOUR YARD AND THROW
A MOLOTOV COCKTAIL AT YOUR CAR, THEN ANOTHER ONE IN THE LOCAL BAR.  
IGNITION.  THEY CALL IT AN OBSESSION BUT I THINK IT'S KINDA BITCHEN'.  I
THINK IT'S KINDA NEAT. YEAH, I'M A PYRO.  TONIGHT THIS 'HOOD WILL BE A PYRE,
I'M GONNA SET YOUR HOUSE ON FIRE.  I'LL DANCE AROUND THE PRETTY FLAMES- 
SUCH A WONDERFULL GAME.  I WANT TO MAKE A TIKI TORCH, I'M GONNA THROW IT 
ON YOUR PORCH.  THEN I'M GONNA RUN AWAY AND COME BACK ANOTHER DAY.  SO 
MANY HOUSES, SO LITTLE TIME.  SO MANY REASONS, I'M NOT A CRIME.  I'D LIKE
TO SET YOU UP. I'D LIKE TO SET YOU UP...  
   

NO HERO

ONCE YOU SAID YOU'D STICK TO IT UNTIL THE END.  I GUESS YOU LIED, THEY 
CALL IT SUICIDE.  NOW YOUR GONE.  WHAT WAS SO WRONG THAT YOU COULDN'T FIND
A WAY TO CARRY ON.  SECOND GUESS- DID I DO MY BEST.  THERE WAS A FRIEND I 
HAD...  JOHNNY WAS A WIERDO, SO WHAT DID YOU EXPECT.  I AIN'T NO FUCKING 
HERO, I'M JUST TRYING TO SURVIVE MYSELF.  I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN YOU WENT 
THRUOGH IT ALONE.  I WONDER WHY.  DID YOU EVER TRY?  YOU COULD HAVE COME TO
ME.  I WOULD HAVE HELPED YOU SEE.  YOU COULD HAVE FOUND A WAY TO CARRY ON.  
SECOND GUESS- DID I DO MY BEST.  THERE WAS A FRIEND I HAD...  JOHNNY WAS A 
WEIRDO, SO WHAT DID YOU EXPECT.  I AIN'T NO FUCKING HERO, I'M JUSDT TRYING
TO SURVIVE MYSELF.  'JOHNNY'S STRANGE BEHAVIOR WAS A TIP OFF', THEY SAY.  
BUT I AIN'T NO FUCKING SAVIOR, I'M JUST LIVING DAY BY DAY.  LITTLE THINGS,
LITTLE LIVES HANGING 'TIL THE END.  I SAY IT DOESN'T REALLY MEAN NOTHING.
TELLING TRUTH, TELLING LIES, I USED TO HAVE A FRIEND.  I SAY IT DON'T 
REALLY MEAN NOTHING AND I CAN'T LET THIS FEELING GO...  LET THIS FELLING
GO... LET THIS FEELING GO...


L.A.P.D

WHEN COPS ARE TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS I CAN UNDERSTAND, BUT THE L.A. 
STORY GONE WAY OUT OF HAND.  THEIR ACTS OF AGGRESSION, THEY SAY, THEY'RE 
JUSTIFIED BUT IT SEEMS AN OBSESSION HAS STARTED FROM THE INSIDE.  THEY'RE 
SHOOTING ANYONE WHO EVEN TRIES TO RUN.  THEY'RE SHOOTING LITTLE KIDS WITH
TOY GUNS.  TAKE IT TO A JURY THEY DON'T GIVE A DAMN BECAUSE THE ONE WHO 
TELLS THE TRUTH IS ALWAYS THE POLICEMAN.  BEAT ALL THE NIGGERS, BEAT WHOEVER 
YOU SEE.  DON'T NEED A REASON, (WE'RE) L.A.P.D..  THE CITY OF L.A.  FEELS 
LIKE A PRISON WITH HELICOPTERS OVERHEAD AND BULLETS WHIZZING BY.  MARTIAL
LAW AIN'T NO SOLLUTION, POLICE BRUTALITY'S JUST SOCIAL POLLUTION.  BEAT ALL
THE WHITE TRASH, BEAT WHOEVER YOU SEE.  DON'T NEED A REASON, (WE'RE) 
L.A.P.D..  THEY SAY THEY'RE KEEPING THE PEACE- BUT I'M NOT BUYING IT BECAUSE
A BILLY CLUB AIN'T MUCH OF A PACIFER.  'PROTECTING YOUR FREEDOM', NOW THAT'S-
IT'S AN EXCUSE FOR POWER NOW THATS MORE LIKE AN ALIBI.  LAW AN ORDER DOESN'T 
REALLY MATTER WHEN YOUR THE ONE GETTING BRUISED AND BATTERED.  YOU TAKE IT 
TO A JURY, THEY'LL THROW IT IN YOUR FACE BECAUSE JUSTICE IN L.A. COMES IN A 
CAN OF MACE.  BEAT ALL THE NIGGERS, BEAT WHOEVER YOU SEE.  WE DON'T NEED A 
REASON, (WE'RE) L.A.P.D., L.A.P.D., L.A.P.D. ...   


NOTHING FROM SOMETHING

THINGS ARE COMING DOWN ON ME, THEY NEVER SEEM TO LET IT BE.  IT SEEMS 
LIKE EVERYTHING I SAY JUST STARTS ANOTHER FIGHT.  THE PRESSURE'S BUILDING 
UP INSIDE- I GOTTA LET IT OUT TONIGHT.  SHATTERED GLASS WILL CURE MY ILLS
AND MAKE ME FEEL ALRIGHT.  GONNA BREAK IT AND NEVER STOP RUNNING.  MAKING 
NOTHING FROM SOMETHING- MAKING NOTHING FROM SOMETHING.  CUT ME FOR THE 
LION'S SHARE.  IT'S MINDLESS, BUT I DON'T CARE 'CAUSE NO MATTER WHAT I SAY 
I'M IN ANOTHER FIGHT.  TAKE MORE SHIT, I'VE HAD ENOUGH, TONIGHT I'M GONNA 
RIP IT UP.  BROKEN WINDOWS CURE MY ILLS AND MAKE ME FILL ALRIGHT.   


FOREVER AND A DAY

LOOK AT ME WHILE I LOOK AT YOU.  SEEING EYE TO EYE IS SOMETHING THAT WE
CAN NEVER DO.  YOU TRY TO TELL ME WHAT IS RIGHT.  I MAY NOT KNOW A LOT BUT 
I KNOW ONE THING...  IF YOU'VE GOT THE ANSWER- THEN I DON'T WANT TO KNOW.  
IF YOU'VE GOT THE ANSWER- JUST KEEP IT YOUR OWN.  I WONDER WHY OUR WORLD IS
ABLAZE.  SOMETIMES I SPEAK ALOUD TO HEAR WHAT PEOPLE HAVE TO SAY.  I TRY TO 
HAVE AN OPEN MIND BUT YOUR BRAIN AND MOUTH MUST NOT BE CONNECTED.  IF YOU'VE
GOT THE ANSWER- THEN I DON'T WANT TO KNOW.  IF YOU'VE GOT THE ANSWER- JUST 
LEAVE ME ALONE.  I WOULD BE PATIENT BUT IT TAKES SO LONG.  I DON'T WANT ALL
THIS MISSINFORMATION, ALL THE WORDS THAT YOU SAY.  LEAN ON ME WHILE I LEAN
ON YOU, IF WE DESTROY EACH OTHER, WE MIGHT SAVE A LIFE OR TWO.  A LITTLE
SUN, A LITTLE SHINE, SEPERATES US BOTH BY FOREVER AND A DAY.  IF YOU'VE GOT
THE ANSWER- THEN I DON'T WANT TO KNOW.  IF YOU'VE GOT THE ANSWER- JUST KEEP 
IT YOUR OWN.  IF YOU'VE GOT A VISION THEN I DON'T WANT TO SEE.  IF YOU'VE  
GOT A NOTION- DON'T WASTE IT ON ME.
