Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal (Live at Pointfest 2025 in St Louis MO 5-17-2025)

  Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal
 

As he came into the window
Was a sound of a crescendo
He came into her apartment
Left the bloodstains on the carpet
She was sitting at the table
He could see she was unable
So she ran into the bedroom
She was struck down
It was her doom
Annie, are you okay, you okay, you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay, you okay, you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay, you okay, you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay, you okay, you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay?
Would you tell us that you're okay?
There's a sign at a window
That he struck you
A crescendo, Annie
Came into her apartment
Left the bloodstains on the carpet
And then you ran into the bedroom
You were struck down, it was your doom
Annie, are you okay, you okay, you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay, you okay, you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay, you okay, you okay, Annie?
You've been hit by
You've been struck by
A smooth criminal
So they came into the outway
It was Sunday, but a black day
I could make a salutation
Sounding heartbeat, intimidation
Annie, are you okay, you okay, you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay, you okay, you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay, you okay, you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay, you okay, you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay?
Would you tell us that you're okay?
There's a sign at a window
That he struck you
A crescendo, Annie
Came into her apartment
Left the bloodstains on the carpet
And then you ran into the bedroom
You were struck down, it was your doom
Annie, are you okay, you okay, you okay, Annie?
You've been hit by
You've been struck by
A smooth criminal
Annie, are you okay? (Oh no)
Would you tell us that you're okay? (Oh no)
There's a sign at a window (oh no)
That he struck you
A crescendo, Annie (oh no)
Came into her apartment (oh no)
Left the bloodstains on the carpet (oh no)
And then you ran into the bedroom (oh no)
You were struck down, it was your doom
Annie, are you okay, you okay, you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay, you okay, you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay, you okay, you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay, you okay, you okay, Annie?

Incubus - Meglomaniac (Live on Letterman)

 Incubus - Meglomaniac

I hear you on the radio
You permeate my screen, its' unkind but
If I met you in a scissor fight
I'd cut off both your wings on principle alone
On principle alone
Hey megalomaniac
You're no Jesus
Yeah, you're no f---ing Elvis
Special, as you know yourself
Baby, just step down, step down
If I were your appendages
I'd hold open your eyes
So you would see
That all of us are heaven sent
There was never meant to be only one
To be only one
Hey megalomaniac
You're no Jesus
Yeah, you're no f---ing Elvis
Special, as you know yourself
Baby, just step down, step down
Yeah
You're no Jesus
You're no Elvis
You're no answer
Hey megalomaniac
You're no Jesus
Yeah, you're no f---ing Elvis
Special, as you know yourself
Just step down

Hoobastank - Right Before Your Eyes

 Hoobastank - Right Before Your Eyes

When the door shuts
Don't worry about me
It's not attention that I want from you
I need you to trust who I'm gonna be
And in everything I'm going to do

Cause I'm not afraid
Of what I don't know
For understanding is all that I earn
What is for sure is I'm gonna to go
I'm gonna to live and I'm going to learn

And I know there will be mistakes that I will make
But I know they're not worse than chances I don't take, take
Right before your eyes I am changing, changing
New life on the inside I am changing, changing

When the door shuts
It shuts finally
A new person that I have become
I follow my heart to my destiny
But living in fear and sorrow is done

There will be no more feeling that I'm all alone
I will surround myself with things that help me grow, grow
Right before your eyes I am changing, changing
New life on the inside I am changing, changing

Right before your eyes I am changing, changing
New life on the inside I am changing, changing
Right before your eyes I am changing, changing
New life on the inside I am changing, changing

Right before your eyes
Right before your eyes

Bring Me The Horizon - Dehumanized (viewer discretion advised)

Bring Me The Horizon - Dehumanized 

You were born to suffer  
You were bred to bleed 
Scraped from your mother’s womb 
Meat for the machine 
Fat on milk and honey 
Lulled by a gilded lie 
We are becoming
Dehumanized 

Some of us are butchers 
Some of us are lambs 
Send me to the abattoir
Let's find out which I am  
Set your heart to safety 
Or face the guillotine   
For empathy
Is heresy 
and hope is a disease  

Disassociating
The blister grows within 
How can you escape 
That which lives under your skin?
Defiled by darkness 
Our souls sodomised 
We are becoming 
Dehumanized 
Dehumanized

Rotting beneath the madness 
Dehumanized
Rotting beneath the madness 

Who will survive 
And what will be left of them? 
Who will survive 
And what will be left of them? 
The sky is falling 
It’s falling 
There’s nothing we can do 

You will pay the price 
Time to f---ing die 
You will pay the price 
(Kill me quick) 
Time to f---ing die 
Who will survive 
And what will be left of them? 

You were bred to suffer 
You were born to bleed 
Scraped from 
Your mother's womb 
We have become 
Dehumanized 
Dehumanized 

Rotting beneath the madness
We have become 
Dehumanized 
Kill each other
An infestation 
Braindead at birth 
Disciples of desire 
Virulent 
Scum of the earth 
Scum of the earth
Scum of the earth
Scum of the earth 

Jude

 Jude

1    JUDE, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father,
    and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called.

2    Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.

3    Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, 
    and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

4    For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men,
    turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

5    I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out
    of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.

6    And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains 
    under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

7    Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, 
    and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

8    Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.

9    Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring
    against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

10    But these speak evil of those things which they know not:  but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those
    things they corrupt themselves.

11    Woe unto them for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and 
    perished in the gainsaying of Core.

12    These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear:  clouds
    they are without water, carried about of winds;  trees, whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked
    up by the roots;

13    Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame;  wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness
    of darkness for ever.

14    And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten
    thousands of his saints,

15    To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they
    have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

16    These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts;  and their mouth speaketh great swelling words,
    having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.

17    But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;

18    How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.

19    These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.

20    But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

21    Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

22    And of some have compassion, making a difference:

23    And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire;  hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

24    Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory
    with exceeding joy,

25    To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever.  Amen.

    Jude - KJV

Fuel - Won't Back Down (Bring You Hell)

 Fuel - Won't Back Down (Bring You Hell)

 Chorus:
I won't back down
I will not bow
I've come to bring you hell
I can't forget
Things you did
I've come to bring you hell

 I know what darkness means
(And the void you learned from me)
The isolation steams
(So I think it wants to bleed)

The echoes in my brain
(All the things you said to me)
You took my everything
Now I'm coming for you

I won't back down, I will not fail
I've come to bring you down
I live again things you did
I've come to bring you down

The shadows that you see
(In the places that you sleep)
Are memories of me
(Better pray your soul to keep)

The truth behind your eyes
(You know the thing you never see)
Your darkest little lies
I'm coming for you!

I won't back down, I will not fail
I've come to bring you down
I live again things you did
I've come to bring you down

All the scars that never heal
All the wounds that will not heal
I will not forget the day
These memories never fall

I won't back down, I will not fail
I've come to bring you down
I live again things you did
I've come to bring you down

I've come to bring you in
I've come to bring you down
I've come to bring you down
I've come to bring you down
I've come to bring you down

Green Day - American Idiot (live at Coachella 2025)

Green Day - American Idiot  

[Verse 1]
Don't wanna be an American idiot
Don't want a nation under the new media
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mindf--- America

[Chorus]
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alienation
Where everything isn't meant to be okay
Television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones who're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue

[Verse 2]
Well, maybe I'm the faggot America
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda
Now everybody do the propaganda
And sing along to the age of paranoia

[Chorus]
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alienation
Where everything isn't meant to be okay
Television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones who're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Don't wanna be an American idiot
One nation controlled by the media
Information age of hysteria
It's calling out to idiot America

[Chorus]
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alienation
Where everything isn't meant to be okay
Television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones who're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue

Two Door Cinema Club - WHAT YOU KNOW (live at TRNSMT 2026)

 Two Door Cinema Club - WHAT YOU KNOW

In a few weeks

I will get time

To realise it's right before my eyes

And I can take it if it's what I want to do



I am leaving

This is starting to feel like

It's right before my eyes

And I can taste it

It's my sweet beginning



And I can tell just what you want

You don't want to be alone

You don't want to be alone

And I can't say it's what you know

But you've known it the whole time

Yeah, you've known it the whole time



Maybe next year

I'll have no time

To think about the questions to address

Am I the one to try to stop the fire?



I wouldn't test you

I'm not the best you could have attained

Why try anything?

I will get there

Just remember I know



2x

And I can tell just what you want

You don't want to be alone

You don't want to be alone

And I can't say it's what you know

But you've known it the whole time

Yeah, you've known it the whole time

Rise Against - The Strength To Go On

 Rise Against - The Strength To Go On

Welcome home
While away
They have tampered with the locks
And your things they rearranged

"We propose a better way"
Said the note they left behind
In their wake of disarray
You fell in place

Don't fall asleep
They'll find us here
I know a place to disappear
As a voice proclaimed

What we are is the sum of 1000 lives
What we know is almost nothing at all
But we are what we are until the day we die
Or until we don't have the strength to go on

Let us cry
Let us be
Let us open up our hearts
Without fear of anything

Faith alone
Is all we need
To traverse this burning bridge
Now before it gets too late
You said "it's fine"

But the heart reveals
What smiles betray
Your sad sad eyes gave you away
Don't you know

What we are is the sum of 1000 lives
What we know is almost nothing at all
But we are what we are until the day we die
Or until we don't have the strength to go on

Our shoulders bear an awful weight
But still we trudge on just the same
Our colors run then leave a stain
They blacken our once honest name
But how can we argue, tell me
Over the fury and the fire
How many times can we tell you that we
Are not like you, we see right through
Your poor disguise that fails to fool
The wary eye that is trained on you

What we are is the sum of 1000 lives
What we know is almost nothing at all
But we are what we are until the day we die
Or until we don't have the strength to go on
Until we don't have the strength to go on

What we are is the sum of 1000 lives
What we know is almost nothing at all
But we are what we are until the day we die
Or until we don't have the strength to go on
Until we don't have the strength to go on
No we don't have the strength to go on

P.O.D. - Change the World

 P.O.D. - Change the World

Imagine a place only your soul can envision
The heart of a child who looks, sees and listens
She paints a picture using every color
And what she sees, she sees is like no other
One word, a voice unheard
You can change the world
With everything I know you're made of
One word, a voice unheard
You can change the world
If everyone would stop and listen
The art of innocence make so much sense
But placed in the wrong hands, well then it's wasted
Filtered through the eyes of a pure mind
A one-of-a-kind paradise for you and I
One word, a voice unheard
You can change the world
With everything I know you're made of
One word, a voice unheard
You can change the world
If everyone would stop and listen
Break the cycle, find your rhythm
Share the gift that you've been given
You can
You can change the world
You can change the world
One word, a voice unheard
You can change the world
With everything I know you're made of
One word, a voice unheard
You can change the world
If everyone would stop and listen
One word, a voice unheard
You can change the world
With everything I know you're made of
One word, a voice unheard
You can change the world
If everyone would stop and listen

Highly Suspect - Wolf

 Highly Suspect - Wolf

You think you know me
I wish I did too
'cause everything's changing
And I am changing too

It's not a question
This shit is real
And it's hard to look back
But it's harder to move on
Funny, it's a good time
For a timeless song

I gave you my heart
Gave you my soul
Yeah, but baby, I was born to rock and now I gotta roll
I'm moving on, yeah I gotta let go
Yeah, 'cause baby, I was born to rock and now I gotta roll

No one pretends the way I do
It's so hard to hear the truth
You've got your reasons, so do I
I like to dream, 'cause dreams don't lie

I'll play along, like nothing's wrong
Baby I love you, But the moon is blue

Do you remember, we were young?
Imagination filled our lungs
Wolf, don't make a helpless move
You see me and I see you

So play along, like nothing's wrong
Baby I love you, But the moon is blue

Let's play along
Oh, until I'm gone
Is it in my head?
Sometimes I wish that I was

Jem Cassar-Daley covers Men At Work's 'Who Can It Be Now?' Ft. Dan Sultan for Like A Version

Jem Cassar-Daley ft. Dan Sultan - Who Can It Be Now?

 [Verse 1]
Who can it be knocking at my door?
Go away, don't come 'round here no more
Can't you see that it's late at night?
I'm very tired and I'm not feeling right
All I wish is to be alone
Stay away, don't you invade my home
Best off if you hang outside
Don't come in, I'll only run and hide

[Chorus]
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?

[Verse 2]
Who can it be knockin' at my door?
Make no sound, tip-toe across the floor
If he hears, he'll knock all day
I'll be trapped, and here I'll have to stay
I've done no harm, I keep to myself
There's nothin' wrong with my state of mental health
I like it here with my childhood friend
Here they come, those feelings again

[Chorus]
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?

[Bridge]
Is it the man come to take me away?
Why do they follow me?
It's not the future that I can see
It's just my fantasy
Yeah

[Saxophone Solo]

[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?

[Outro]
Oh, who can it be now?
Oh-wee, oh
Who can it? Who can it?
Oh
Who can it be now?
Oh-wee, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

P.O.D. - Will You

 P.O.D. - Will You

See you sittin' next to the window in the bedroom
She breaks down, breaks down
Cryin' over somethin' and staring into nothing
Afraid now, hate now

Wanting, Needing, Haunting, it's killing me
Thank you what has happened to live the life like that man
And I'll break down, its fake now

(chorus)
Will You, Will You love me tomorrow
So will you will you stay with me today

Fade in and out of reasons to fight the way she's feeling she breaks down, breaks down
Going through the motions and holding onto hopes and the dreams now, somehow

Shaken, Mistaken, Forsaken it's killing me
Wishing you could change but things always been this way
If you leave now i'll drown

(chorus)

Will you , Will you love me tomorrow
So will you will you remember yesterday

Yesterday x4

This time i'm sorry x2
This time This time I'm sorry
For This time, this time, this time I'm sorry
This time i'm sorry

(chorus)

Will you, Will you love me tomorrow
So will you will you remember yesterday

Will you x6
So will you

Evanescence - The Game is Over

 Evanescence - The Game is Over

Had enough I’ve really 
had enough
Had enough of denial
I’m not alright but I’m not gonna lie I don’t know that I ever was 

all alone I’ve waited 
all alone
Held it in as I played by your rules I’ve been biting my lip but I’m losing my grip
I’m coming down down down

When all the hate burns off I’m left here with the pain
Behind our vain devices are we all the same

Change me into something I believe in
Change me so I don’t have to pretend 

Take a breath and try to play along but
I’m a terrible liar
I feel the world like a brick on my chest
and the party’s just begun

Throw the rope I’m wading
Through the mud
From your mouth flow a thousand truths 
But you know there’s only one

When all the hate burns off I’m left here with the pain

Change me into something I believe in
Change me so I don’t have to pretend
Sweet words they mean nothing they’re not true  
cause the game is over

I want it all or I want nothing at all
maybe I can change me into something I believe in 
Change me so I don’t have to pretend
Your sweet words they mean nothing save your breath
The game is over

A Day To Remember - You Should've Killed Me When You Had The Chance

A Day To Remember - You Should've Killed Me When You Had The Chance 

So I say goodbye to a town that has ears and eyes
I can hear you whispering as I walk by
Familiar faces smiling back at me and I knew
This would make them change

The only thing that's going to bother me
Is that you'll all call yourselves my friends

Why can't you look me in the eyes one last time?

The writings on the wall, you've read that I'll be gone, but if you call my name
Just know that I'll come running, for one more night to spare with you
This is where I'm meant to be, please don't leave me

I've read these stories a thousand times, and now I'll rewrite them all
You're meddling in an anger you can't control
She means the world to me, so hold your serpent tongue
Is a whores lies worth dying for? I'll just take my time

The only thing that's going to bother me
Is that you'll all call yourselves my friends

Why can't you look me in the eyes one last time?

The writings on the wall, you've read that I'll be gone, but if you call my name
Just know that I'll come running, for one more night to spare with you
This is where I'm meant to be, please don't leave me

I walked into your house this morning
I brought the gun from our end table
Your blood was strewn across the walls
They'll find you on your bathroom floor

I walked into your house this morning
I brought the gun from our end table
Your blood was strewn across the walls
They'll find you on your bathroom floor
When I'm done

But should I write it all off?
But should I write it all off?

You should have killed me when you had the chance
You should have killed me when you had the chance
You should have killed me when you had the chance
You should have killed me when you had the chance

The Killers - American Girl (Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers) Rock Hall induction 2018

 The Killers - American Girl 

Well, she was an American girl
Raised on promises
She couldn't help thinkin' that there
Was a little more to life somewhere else
After all, it was a great big world
With lots of places to run to
And if she had to die tryin'
She had one little promise she was gonna keep

Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night (Make it last all night)
She was an American girl

Well, it was kind of cold that night
She stood alone on her balcony (Ooh)
Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by
Out on 441 like waves crashin' on the beach
And for one desperate moment there
He crept back in her memory
God, it's so painful when something that is so close
Is still so far out of reach

Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night (Make it last all night)
She was an American girl (Ooh) 

The Killers - The Land of the Free

 The Killers - The Land of the Free

[Verse 1: Brandon Flowers & Choir]
Can't wipe the wind-blown smile from across my face
It's just the old man in me
Washing his truck at the Sinclair station
In the land of the free (Ooh)
His mother, Adeline's family, came on a ship
Cut coal and planted a seed
Down in them drift mines of Pennsylvania
In the land of the free

[Chorus: Choir & Brandon Flowers]
Land of the free, land of the free
In the land of the free
Land of the free, land of the free
Land of the free, land of the free
In the land of the free
(I'm standing crying)

[Verse 2: Brandon Flowers & Choir]
When I go out in my car, I don't think twice
But if you're the wrong color skin (I'm standing, crying)
You grow up looking over both your shoulders
In the land of the free
And we got more people locked up than the rest of the world
Right here in red, white and blue (I'm standing, crying)
Incarceration's become big business
It's harvest time out on the avenue

[Chorus: Choir & Brandon Flowers]
Land of the free, land of the free
In the land of the free
Land of the free, land of the free
Move on there's nothing to see
Land of the free, land of the free
In the land of the free

[Bridge: Brandon Flowers & Choir]
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm standing crying (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
I'm standing crying (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
So how many daughters, tell me, how many sons
Do we have to have to put in the ground
Before we just break down and face it:
We got a problem with guns? (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
In the land of the free
Down at the border, they're gonna put up a wall
Concrete and Rebar Steel beams (I'm standing crying)
High enough to keep all those filthy hands off
Of our hopes and our dreams (I'm standing crying)
People who just want the same things we do
In the land of the free

[Chorus: Choir & Brandon Flowers]
Land of the free, land of the free
In the land of the free
Land of the free, land of the free
Land of the free, land of the free
In the land of the free
Land of the free, land of the free
Land of the free, land of the free
Land of the free, land of the free
In the land of the free (I'm standing crying)

The Devil Wears Prada - That Same Place Where The Flowers Never Grow (a film by Wyatt Clough)

 The Devil Wears Prada - That Same Place Where The Flowers Never Grow 

I'm good at getting lost
Counting all the leaves
'Cause I can't see the trees through the forest
The grass was never green
Why can't we agree to ignore that?
Ignore that

Will tomorrow ever come?
Thought that we were having fun
But haven't seen the sun in days
Whatever happened in between
Why can't we agree to ignore that?

I've been wrong, but I'll pay for this
Yeah, something's off, I'll admit

It felt like a dream but now it's over
The best of me has found some closure
Run it back inside my head
Been a week since I said
Goodbye to who I used to be
I hate what this did to me
I fall back on what I know
That same place where the flowers never grow
Where the flowers never grow

I'm barely hangin' on
Kept in the darkness
Maybe that's a symptom of it (Symptom of it)
I distort reality
Why can't we agree to ignore that?

I've been wrong, but I'll pay for this
Yeah, something's off, I'll admit
I'll admit

I've been wrong, but I'll pay for this
Something's off, I'll admit

It felt like a dream but now it's over
The best of me has found some closure
Run it back inside my head
Been a week since I said
Goodbye to who I used to be
I hate what this did to me
I fall back on what I know
That same place where the flowers never grow
That same place where the flowers never grow

Goodbye to who I used to be
Something's fucking wrong with me
I fall back on what I know
That same place where the flowers never grow

I fall back on what I know
That same place where the flowers never grow
Flowers never grow

Hoobastank - Crawling in the Dark

 Hoobastank - Crawling in the Dark

[Verse 1]
I will dedicate and sacrifice my every
Thing for just a second's worth of how my story's ending
And I wish I could know if the directions that I take
And all the choices that I make won't end up all for nothing

[Chorus]
Show me what it's for, make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
Is there something more than what I've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer

[Verse 2]
Help me carry on, assure me it's okay to
Use my heart and not my eyes to navigate the darkness
Will the ending be ever coming suddenly?
Will I ever get to see the ending to my story?

[Chorus]
Show me what it's for, make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
Is there something more than what I've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer

[Rap]
So when and how will I know?

[Bridge]
How much further do I have to go?
And how much longer 'til I finally know?
`Cause I'm looking and I just can't see what's in front of me
In front of me

[Chorus]
Show me what it's for, make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
Is there something more than what I've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer 

Reel Big Fish - Sell Out (live at Warped Tour 2018)

 Reel Big Fish - Sell Out

Well, I know you can't work in fast food all your life
But don't sign that paper tonight, she said, but it's too late.

Yeah I don't remember what I read, I don't remember what they said,
I guess it doesn't matter, I guess it doesn't matter anymore
'Cause you're gonna go to the record store
You're gonna give'em all your money
Radio plays what they want you to hear
They tell me it's cool but I just don't believe it...
Sell out, with me oh yeah, sell out, with me tonight
The record company's gonna give me lots of money
And everything's gonna be all right

No more flippin' burgers puttin' on my silly hat
You know I don't want that no more,
Well I didn't ask when we'd get paid,
I quit my day job anyway,
I guess it doesn't matter, I guess it doesn't matter anymore
'Cause you're gonna go to the record store,
You're gonna give'em all your money,
Radio plays what they want you to hear,
They tell me it's cool, I just don't believe it

Sell out, with me oh yeah,
Sell out with me tonight,
The record company's gonna give me lots of money
And everything's gonna be

And I don't think it'll be so bad
And I know it won't be so bad
'Cause the man said "that's the way it is"
And the man said "it don't get better than this" no no no
So I signed on to the record company,
They say they're gonna give me lot's of money
If I play what they want you to hear
They tell me it's cool, and I sure believe it...
Sell out, with me oh yeah,
Sell out, with me tonight,
The record company's gonna give me lotsa money and everything's gonna be alright

Yeaaaah yeah yeah, yeah yeah, the record company is gonna make everything alright

Baby don't you sign that paper tonight, she said
"but I can't work in fast food all my life"

Paul Rudd - How to Write a Song Without You (from Power Ballad)

Paul Rudd - How to Write a Song Without You 

[Verse 1]
If I was losing you
If we were losing us
The silence would be so loud
There'd be no words to write
And even if I tried
I couldn't get the sound out
I never want to find out

[Chorus]
How to write a song without you
How to write a song without you
How to write a song without you
When every song I ever wrote in my life is about you

[Verse 2]
We're both in for a ride
So hold on to me tight
It's out of our control now
And even when it's rough
When all the wheels come off
I never want to slow down
'Cause I don't think I'd know how

[Chorus]
How to write a song without you
How to writе a song without you
How to write a song without you
When evеry song I ever wrote in my life is about you

 [Bridge]
This could be the song that saves me
Or this could be my albatross
But this is all I've got

[Pre-Chorus]
How to write? You never did tell me
How to write? You never did help me
How to write? You never did show me how, oh
How to write? You never did tell me
How to write? You never did help me
How to write? You never did show me how

[Chorus]
How to write a song without you
How to write a song without you, yeah
How to write a song without you

how to write a song, how to write a song, how to write a song


[Outro]
When every song I ever wrote in my life is about you

Dropkick Murphys - The Body of an American (Pogues)

 Dropkick Murphys - The Body of an American

The Cadillac stood by the house
And the Yanks, they were within
And the tinker boys, they hissed advice
'Hot-wire with her a pin'
Then we turned and shook as we had a look
In the room where the dead man lay
So big Jim Dwyer made his last trip
To the shores where his fathers lay

And fifteen minutes later
We had our first taste of whiskey
There was uncles giving lectures
On ancient Irish history
The men all started telling jokes
And the women, they got frisky
By five o'clock in the evening
Every bastard there was piskey

Fare thee well, gone away
There's nothing left to say
Farewell to New York City, boys
To Boston and PA
He took them out with a well-aimed clout
And they often heard him say
"I'm a freeborn man of the USA"

He fought the champ in Pittsburgh
And he slashed him to the ground
He took on Tiny Tartanella
And it only went one round
He never had no time for dice
No drinks no red no whores
But he never threw a fight when a fight was right
So they sent him to the war

Fare thee well, gone away
There's nothing left to say
With a sláinte Joe and Erin go
My love's in Amerikay
The calling of the rosary
Spanish wine from far away
"I'm a freeborn man of the USA"

This morning on the harbour
When I said goodbye to you
I remembered how I swore
That I'd come back to you one day
And as the sunset came
To meet the evening on the hill
I told you I'd always love you
I always did, I always will

Fare thee well, gone away
There's nothing left to say
But to bid adieu to your eyes as blue
As the water in the bay
To big Jim Dwyer, the man of wire
Who was often heard to say
"I'm a freeborn man of the USA"

I'm a freeborn man of the USA
I'm a freeborn man of the USA
