1. JENNIFER LOST THE WAR

Jennifer lost the war today
They'll find her burned and raped
Through it all she must have wondered
"What have I done?"
But nobody really cares today
The world's a busy place

Guess she must have
really sinned now/really sinned now

I guess we're all just soldiers
She was only six years old
Left to die by strangers/Her family waits

And if we're all just soldiers
Is it so wrong to be afraid?

Jennifer lost the war

[Solo]

Phoebe lost the war today
There must be some mistake
Say it happens all the time
And it's said and done
And little miss 1565
Your soul remains unclaimed

Guess she must have
really sinned now/really sinned now

Morality won't help her
When she lies silent in a morgue and
All our sorrows well just, don't count at all

But will the morning headlines
Even say it's a shame?
What are we heading for?

Jennifer lost the war

[Breakdown:]
Seen it all before
Silent on the ground as he's walking away
And I wonder how many more
Everybody'll take it
like they've nothing to say, aw, oh yeah

Jennifer lost,
lost, lost, lost the war now

I guess we're all just soldiers
She was only six years old
Left to die by strangers/Her family waits

And will the morning headlines
Even say it's a shame?
What are we heading for?


2. ELDERS

When we younger
There always seemed like some, some
Perfect mold that we're supposed to be
But now we're growing up and I
see it's just not that way
Now I feel like someone's lied to me

'Cause I've been true/Made good for you
Now I feel used/I'm asking you

How does it feel/How does it feel
How does it feel/How does it feel
To be like you?

Tell me now elders
What were your reasons for
Making it seem like u were so much more
If you want to feel good
Because of our accomplishments
Why the fuck don't you just do it yourself

Man I've tried/Man I've tried
While you just lied/So now just tell me

How does it feel/How does it feel
How does it feel/How does it feel
To be like you?

[Solo]

'Cause I've been true/Made good for you
Now I feel used/I'm asking you

How does it feel/How does it feel
How does it feel/How does it feel
To be like you?

Look at all the families now
Who don't talk and don't trust
Because of the way
That things have been done

When will you finally learn
To leave out the bullshit
And just be straight with us


3. OUT ON PATROL

Look at you soilder boy, now
With that big gun in your little hand
As you patrol this foreign land
Hear the mine that clicks beneath ur feet
Hey woah

Now do you see the light?
Fading while your world is crumbling
Out on patrol!
And all you can do is sit and stare

What revelation have you now?
What culmination to your speck of life?
Your moment in time

As you sit here all alone
Will your buddies come and save your life?
But as the enemy appears
See your life flash before your eyes
Hey woah

Now do you see the light?
Fading while your world is crumbling
Out on patrol!
And all you can do is sit and stare

What revelation have you now?
What culmination to your speck of life?
Your moment in time

[Breakdown]

Now do you see the light?
Fading while your world is crumbling
Out on patrol!
And all you can do is sit and stare

What revelation have you now?
What culmination to your speck of life?
Your moment in time

It's your life/It's your life/It's your life
Woah oh oh

It's your life/It's your life/It's your life
Woah oh oh

Uno, Dos, Tres, Cuatro!


4. CROSSROADS

Time has washed away
And now I may wonder
How did it all slip by?
'Cause I always thought we had forever

Future calls to me
To take me away from things
I don't want to leave behind
Like I'm slipping away, I can't hold on

Find that path alone
Crossroads lead me away
But that's not what worries me
I just want to know what's home

[Solo]

Find that path alone
Crossroads lead me away
But that's not what worries me
I just want to know what's home

Through it all my mind still wanders
To the one who touched my soul
Her road leads away,she's still my true love

I could believe/Same again, again, again

Will is not enough when all those
Lost days stand in the way
She was
my hopes and dreams, my whole world

I could believe/Here I'll come again, yeah

I still want to know/Want to know
Who can see for me, yeah
Crossroads tell me

Now you'll have to trade your past away
And find another day
So is change a friend or enemy?

Through what comes to pass
I'll find my way/I've seen it all before
But is the best you can be,
The best thing to be?

Some people say, you're just wasting time

But that's not what worries me
I just want to know what's home


5. DEMONS

Clouds pass over the moon
Like an eye that shows impending doom
Tension in this misty air

Souls pass into the room
Drawn in by a lost memory
You will join them in the moonlight

You are my offering
Your soul transcends
The centuries of pain
Your misery in life
Is your ecstasy in death

Time passes like the wind
As we race to beat days dusky grin
Mornings just a moment away
Your body glistens in candlelight
As we all look on in fiendish delight
The ritual is just beginning

Come full fill the prophecy
With our demons of debauchery
As virgins and spectres sing
This madness will never cease

In the dead of night
You will follow
In the footsteps of many others
Who have come before
I will show you the altar
Your aztec eyes, egyptian hair
Your beauty bestoved upon my lair
I've loved you before, in other lives
But you've never meant as much to me
Never meant as much to me as now

In this night of sacrifice
where blood is spilt
That will never spill again
But in your linen robes
We want you now
We want you now
You could never ask for more than that

You are my offering
Your soul transcends
The centuries of pain
Your misery in life
Is your ecstasy in
Come full fill the prophecy
With our demons of debauchery
This madness will never cease


6. BEHEADED

Mommy doesn't have her head anymore
Keep it underneath my bed on the floor
Well, that's alright man, that's okay
She never really used her head anyway

Daddy called me a silly bore
Bet he won't say that anymore
Because the way his body's severed in two
His vocal chords are gonna be hard to use

Beheaded
Watch you spurt like a garden hose
Beheaded
Bloody mess all over my clothes

Watch my girlfriend come to the door
Chop off her head, she falls to the floor
Watching my baby's jugular flow
Really makes my motor go

Wrap a towel around the bloody stump
Take my baby's body to the city dump
Then wipe the mess off the bloody axe
Scoop all the heads to my burlap sack

Beheaded
Watch you spurt like a garden hose
Beheaded
Bloody mess all over my clothes

[Breakdown:]
All my collection
Adorns my rooms on bamboo poles
It used to be a little,
but a little got more and more
Now I'm craving yours

Night brings bad dreams
Bad dreams and guillotines

Night brings bad dreams
Bad dreams and guillotines

Off with her head/Off with her head
Off with her head/Off with her head
Off with her head/Off with her head!

Find another victim for my machine
Put him in a home made guillotine
Blade falls, gonna need a casket
Watch the head plopped in a wicker basket

Leave the house at a quarter to four
Come back with sixteen or more
'Cause the more I want, the more I see
Got a funny feeling coming over me

Beheaded
Watch you spurt like a garden hose
Beheaded
Bloody mess all over my clothes


7. TEHRAN

In your plane in the blue sky
You roam again
Words that echo in your mind
Make your heart beat faster
This is no Vietnam/We will win in Iran

The president said let it ride, ride
Islam be damned, make your last stand
In Tehran

Warrior, the time bomb's about to go
What will you feel?
Will you ever wonder if the man that's in your sights ever kissed his girl goodbye?

The captain said kill or die, die
Islam be damned, make your last stand
In Tehran

great satan/great satan
our flags are burning/our flags are burning
our flags are burning/our flags will burn

Soon America may find
Its young men in the sand
Where casualty is just a number in Iran

The president said let it ride, ride
You will be damned, make your last stand
In Tehran/In Tehran/In... Teh... ran!


8. A THOUSAND DAYS

Ask me no questions and
I'll tell you/I'll tell you no lies
When all is said and done
Does it really matter who's wrong or right?

Don't ask me for a reason, I can't explain
Why we hurt one other again and again
So while I bleed here
I still, still reach for you

A thousand days/A thousand days
Have passed away
A thousand days/A thousand days
Were captured in her eyes

Your eyes are open now but you know
It's still hard to see inside
When action and intention
Are two separate things

Now I somehow wish, I could explain
Why we hurt one another again and again
Like someone on his dying breath
I still, still reach for you

A thousand days/A thousand days
Have passed away
A thousand days/A thousand days
Were captured in her eyes

[Breakdown:]
Forever we've been
Trapped by our hearts
Trapped by our minds
I'd like to leave/I'd like to win at love

But I just can't let it go
And I just can't watch it slipping away
And I just can't let it go
And I just can't stand another minute

Maybe now someday our shattered lives
Will mend themselves again
But now a million miles away
I still reach for you

And although I know, I can't explain
Why we hurt one other again and again
Like someone on his dying breath
I still, still each for you

A thousand days/A thousand days
Oh yeah
A thousand days/A thousand days


9. BLACK BALL

In this world of hate and shallowness
Where enemies become your consolation
And those of us who win the game
give up their minds/I don't call that winning

Say this doesn't apply to you
But ask yourself first
What have I done today to win the game
And just what have I scarified?

Win the battle/Lose the war
I know I've played this game before
When people were still real
I don't want this anymore
It's time for me to close the door
There's nothing left to feel

Reflect on all our yesterdays
My own words choke me
Why were they spoken?

Regret for things I've said and done
Just can't compare with regret
For those that I have never tried

So blame this world, or blame yourself
It's really all the same
When you are standing on that precipice
From which you just can not return

Win the battle or lose the war
I know I've played this game before
When people were still real
I don't want this anymore
It's time for me to close the door
There's nothing left to feel

[Breakdown/Solo]

In the style of forgotten men
I look to my horizon - I see nothing

While thoughts of guns and desecration sweep through my mind, but only coffins
And bones remain

As I look to you, the emptiness
behind your eyes, seals my decision
Can't carry on in a world of jugglers where all this thoughtlessness and bludgeoning's your key to success
What kind of tradition to carry on

Blackball/The new disease
Blackball/The new disease
Blackball/Your evil ways
have found their way inside/Inside me

Blackball/The new disease
Blackball/The new disease
Blackball/For a better life
in this high tech dog eat dog existence

Win the battle or lose the war
I know I've played this game before
When people were still real
I don't want this anymore
It's time for me to close the door
There's nothing left to feel


10. I'LL BE WAITING

Once I had a friend that I could count on
So I thought/Well so it seemed
But times of need are not enough
To prove your friendship to me now

Once I saw a face that I believed in
But a mask was all there was
So who wears the masks
and who wears the faces
Well I guess I'll never know

But as I stand here alone
in a room full of people with nothing to say
Beer on their minds, and smoke in the air
Call them friends but they just don't care

Friends for life
Such shallow words for broken minds
Show me a friend for life

'Cause I'll be waiting
For that day to arrive, when I'll feel alive
I'll be waiting for that day

Once I found a love I had to know
Now we might
know eachother just too well

'Cause when we're together
we can't get enough
Or is it we just can't get what we want

Once I saw a dream I had to chase it
Quickly turned to reality
Who's at fault in this game of
yours and mine/Well I guess I'll never know

But as I sit here alone/I think of the girl
who came softly inside me
The look in her eyes, the smell of her hair
Call her my own, but is she really there?

Love for life
Such noble words for noble minds
Show me a love for life

Cause I'll be waiting
For that day to arrive, when I'll feel alive
I'll be waiting for that day

[Breakdown/Solo]

Friends for life
Such shallow words for broken minds
Show me a friend for life

Cause I'll be waiting
For that day to arrive, when I'll feel alive
I'll be waiting for that day

Once I had a friend that I could count on

Times of need are not enough

Once I found a love I had to know

Now we might
know eachother just too well

Once I saw a dream I had to chase it
Quickly turned to reality

Now let me close my eyes
Because I don't want to see anymore


11. KILL THE PRESIDENT

In a world without leaders
Who'd start all the wars?
The world that you're saving
Will always be yours

Kill the President, voice the reason
Unify that single line
Stop the man with the power
of the goverment
A leader's not the center of democracy

In a world without leaders
Who'd make people starve?
The world that we're saving
Will always be ours

Everyone says
"Well, maybe I'll make a difference"
Thinking they've got plenty of time
But ur squeezed a little tighter everyday
Punished before you commit a crime

In a world without leaders
Who'd start all the wars?
The world that you're saving
Will always be yours

[Solo]

Kill the President, voice the reason
Unify that single line
Stop the man with the power
of the goverment
A leader's not the center of democracy

[Breakdown:]
America
All your enemies come from within
But you lash out, so it is seen
like some frightened child
in an angry world, or the fall of Rome
Your demise comes from
your own/your own hands

In a world without leaders
Who'd start all the wars?
The world that you're saving
Will always be yours

In a world without leaders
We might have a chance
But we'll never see it, as long as there's-
Kill the President, Kill the President
Kill the President, Kill the President
Kill the President, Kill the President now
