Fall Out Boy - Thriller

[Jay Z:] Yeah, what you critics said would never happen. We dedicate this album to anybody, people said couldn't make it. To the fans that held us down till everybody came around. Welcome. It's here. Last summer we took threes across the board But by fall we were a cover story "now in stores" Make us poster boys for your scene But we are not making an acceptance speech I found the safest place to keep all our old mistakes Every dot com's refreshing for a journal update So long live the car crash hearts Cry on the couch all the poets come to life Fix me in 45 So long live the car crash hearts Cry on the couch all the poets come to life Fix me in 45 I can take your problems away with a nod and a wave Of my hand, 'cause that's just the kind of boy that I am The only thing...

Baby, seasons change but people don't. And I'll always be waiting in the back room. I'm boring but overcompensate with Headlines and flash, flash, flash photography.

Fall Out Boy - 27

If home is where the heart is then we're all just fucked I can't remember I can't remember And I want it so bad I'd shoot the sunshine into my veins I can't remember The good old days And it's kind of funny The way we're wearing anchors on our shirts When being anchored or bored just feels like a curse My mind is a safe And if I keep it in we all get rich My body is an orphanage We take everyone in Doing lines of dust and sweat off last night's stage Just to feel like you Milligrams in my head Burning tobacco in my wind chasing the direction Chasing the direction you went You're a bottled star The planets align You're just like Mars You shine in the sky You shine in the sky Are all the good times getting gone?

Linkin Park - Super Xero ( By Myself )

What do I do to ignore what's behind me? Do I follow my fate and escape blindly? Do I hide my pride away from these bad dreams And give into sad thoughts that are maddening? Do I let it go and try to stand it? Or do I try to catch them redhanded? Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness? Or do I trust nobody and live life in lonliness? The sunlight burns the skin of sleeping men I make the right turns but I'm lost within I put on my daily façade but then I just end up gettin' hurt again [pre-chorus:] By myself (Myself) I ask why (but in my mind I find) I can't rely on myself (Myself) I ask why (but in my mind I find) I can't rely on myself [chorus]: I can't hold on To what I want when I'm stretched so thin It's all too much to take in I can't hold on To anything watchin' everything...

I have a dream of a scene between the green hills Clouds pull away and the sunlight's revealed People don't talk about keeping it real It's understood that they actually will And intoxicated and stimulated emcees Staring in the trees, paranoid, are gone in the breeze Watch them flee, hip-hop hits Take a walk with me and what you'll see Is a land where the sand is made up of crushed up wax And the sky beyond you is krylon blue And everybody speaks in a dialect of rhyme And emcees have left materialism behind them Meanwhile I just grip my mic And hope me and my team make it through alright Because say what you will, and say what you might But don't ignore who it's for at the end of the night [CHORUS] Because this is dedicated to the kids Dedicated to wherever music lives Dedicated...

"I come to this magnificent house of worship tonight because my conscience leaves me no other choice. A true revolution of values will lay hands on the world order and say of war: "This way of settling differences is not just." This business of burning human beings with napalm, of filling our nation's homes with orphans and widows, of injecting poisonous drugs of hate into veins of people normally humane, of sending men home from dark and bloody battlefields physically handicapped and psychologically deranged, cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love." - (Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence by Rev.

You were standing in the wake of devastation And you were waiting on the edge of the unknown And with the cataclysm raining down Insides crying "Save me now" You were there, impossibly alone Do you feel cold and lost in desperation? You build up hope, but failure’s all you’ve known Remember all the sadness and frustration And let it go. Let it go And in a burst of light that blinded every angel As if the sky had blown the heavens into stars You felt the gravity of tempered grace Falling into empty space No one there to catch you in their arms Do you feel cold and lost in desperation? You build up hope, but failure’s all you’ve known Remember all the sadness and frustration And let it go. Let it go Do you feel cold and lost in desperation? You build up hope, but failure’s all...

(Mario Savio) To save face / how low can you go Talk a lot of game but yet you don’t know Static on the way / make us all say whoa The people up top push the people down low Get down And obey every word Steady getting mine if you haven’t yet heard Wanna take what I got / don’t be absurd Don’t fight the power / nobody gets hurt If you haven’t heard yet then I’m letting you know There ain’t shit we don’t run when the guns unload And no one make a move unless my people say so Got everything...

No / you've gotta get it inside You push it back down / You push it back down No / you'll never get it inside Push it back down / Black out / Blood in your eye You say that it's not your fault, And swear that I am mistaken. You said it's not what it seems, No remorse for the trust you're breaking. You run but then back you fall, Suffocate in the mess you're making. You can't get enough you take, And take and take and take and take, Fuck it Are you listening? No / you've gotta get it inside You push...

[Mike:] This is not the end, this is not the beginning Just a voice like a riot rocking every revision But you listen to the tone and the violent rhythm Though the words sound steady something empty's within them We say yeah with fists flying up in the air Like we're holding onto something that's invisible there Cause we're living at the mercy of the pain and the fear Until we dead it, forget it, let it all disappear [Chester:] Waiting for the end to come Wishing I had strength to stand This is not what I had planned It's out of my control Flying at the speed of light Thoughts were spinning in my head So many things were left unsaid It's hard to let you go I know what it takes to move on I know how it feels to lie All I want to do Is trade this life for something new Holding on...

Linkin Park - Robot Boy

You say you're not gonna fight 'Cause no one would fight for you And you think there's not enough love And no one to give it to And you're sure you've hurt for so long You've got nothing left to lose So you say you're not gonna fight 'Cause no one would fight for you You say the weight of the world Has kept you from letting go And you think compassion's a flaw And you'll never let it show And you're sure you hurt in a way That no one will ever know But someday the weight of the world Will give you the strength to go Hold on, the weight of the world Will give you the strength to go So hold on, the weight of the world Will give you the strength to go So hold on, the weight of the world Will give you the strength to go Just hold on, the weight of the world Will give you the strength...

Linkin Park - When They Come For Me

I am not a pattern to be followed The pill that I'm on is a tough one to swallow I'm not a criminal, not a role model Not a born leader, I'm a tough act to follow I am not the fortune and the fame or the sane person telling you to forfeit the game I came in the ring like a dog on a chain and then found out the underbelly sicker than it seems And it seems ugly but it can get worse 'cause even a blueprint is a gift and a curse 'cause once you got a theory of how the thing works Everybody wants the next thing to be just like the first And I'm not a robot, I'm not a monkey I will not dance even if the beat is funky Opposite of lazy, far from a punk Ya'll oughta stop talking Start trying to catch up mother fucker And all the people say Try to catch up mother fucker Lauryn said money...

Linkin Park - Burning In The Skies

I used the deadwood to make the fire rise The blood of innocence burning in the skies I filled my cup with the rising of the sea And poured it out in an ocean of debris I'm swimming in the smoke Of bridges I have burned So don't apologize I'm losing what I don't deserve What I don't deserve We held our breath when the clouds began to form But you were lost in the beating of the storm And in the end we were made to be apart In separate chambers of the human heart I'm swimming in the smoke Of bridges I have burned So don't apologize I'm losing what I don't deserve It's in the blackened bones Of bridges I have burned So don't apologize I'm losing what I don't deserve What I don't deserve I'm swimming in the smoke Of bridges I have burned So don't apologize I'm losing what I don't...
