THE ALMIGHTY LYRICS

1. Ultraviolence

Don't give it all away
Don't give it all away
I tried to save myself
But you wrote me of anyway
When will I feel like I wanted to
What in the world has come over you
What in the world are we going to do

[Chorus:]
Nothing left to say
Nothing left to use
Nothing left to give
Nothing left
Nothing left to prove
This only gives me frustration
I pile it in my mind
I almost had a weakness
And you almost made me smile
It's just a small town life sentence
And I tried to drown it out, you're taking this the wrong way
And you think that it's alright

[Chorus]

I left this place the way I found it
Everything the same
When I was young I didn't know what I wanted
It's nice to know I haven't changed
Don't give it all away

[Chorus]

2. Wrench

I found it hard to believe
Got all caught up being freed
Everything that I had
You wrenched it out of my hands

[Chorus:]
Yeah, you got me wrong
You never even tried
To change your way of thinking
Now you better decide
Whose side are you on?

When the tension breaks
And lying's as natural as breathing
I'm going to invite you right down
To rise to the occasion

Why don't you say what you mean?
Why don't you show what you feel
Tainted by your own self doubt
Say you hate to leave, well let me help you out

[Chorus]

3. The Unreal Thing

You're the unreal thing
In the safety of your own delusions
You preach it but you don't believe it
I never wanted to be what you needed
What gives
What gives you the right
Picking up the pieces
Until you get the rest of my life

[Chorus:]
Backbiter
You're the unreal thing

So have a toke and a smile
And ease your junkfood mind
Who needs entertainment
When the walls are here to climb

I knew
I knew it would come to this
I've been hanging on for weeks
By the skin of my beliefs
So come on and cut me down
You're just a...

[Chorus]

I'm not afraid of being wrong
I'm just scared of being right

[Chorus:]
Backbiter
You're the unreal thing
You can't beat the feeling

4. Jonestown Mind

You're the Jesus that didn't get nailed
Everyone loves a righteous cause
I got everything that I need to be free
I got masturbation and cable TV

[Chorus:]
I know, I know
I know you got a Jonestown mind
I couldn't change it if I tried

Another day in the life of a dead man
I hope you're happy now
You got no hope, but you got enough rope
Just to keep on hanging around

[Chorus]

Trained to drain
Why you can't explain
You're everything that you don't want to be
You're just chocking on your coca-cola
Chocking on your dreams

I know, I know
I know you got a Jonestown mind
You're the Jesus that didn't get nailed

[Chorus]

5. Move Right In

It's all so fucking pure
That I can see right through
Saw myself for the first time in years
With no room without a view

Well I'm not the only one spoilt by mistakes
How much damage do you think it takes?

[Chorus:]
Looking for a way out
Want to lose your skin
I got to move
Move right in

We're all out for a killing
Forgot the safety catch
Wipe the smile from my Irish eyes
And tell me it's a lack

So please don't try to do me any favours
It's just that sometimes life can make me nervous

[Chorus]

It's just a token of infection
That runs in the family
Accidentally born without a purpose
And just dying to be free

I was reaching down to pull myself back up
When all the time I know that I'm fucked

[Chorus]

6. Crank And Deceit

It makes no fucking difference
If it's all the fucking same
I swear to God that I
Don't believe a fucking thing

I don't want to sleep
3 A.M. knows my secret
I could have been anyone
But I'm just somebody I used to be

[Pre-chorus:]
Want this need this
Hate this love this
Needfreak
Want this need this
Hate this love this
Fuck this

[Chorus:]
I've been up for weeks
I have been losing sleep
On crank and deceit

I want you to feel this too
What makes you think I give a fuck
Well maybe I'm just paranoid
Am I paranoid enough

[Pre-chorus + chorus]

You know me better than I know myself

I've been up for weeks
I've been losing sleep
Dirt starts smelling sweet
Feeling obsolete
On crank and deceit

7. United State Of Apathy

[Inspired by and dedicated to Bill Hicks]

(Relentless) we get born and raised
(Relentless) broken promises made
(Relentless) the days cut like razors
(Relentless) with no guarantee on saviours

(Relentless) everyone's addicted
Coz everyone's a victim
(Relentless) I've seen the movie
It did nothing for me
(Relentless) patience is a virtue
That ain't worth waiting for
(Relentless) I'll buy you a coke and sing
I'd like to teach the world to scream

[Pre-chorus:]
We're just dying to be like you
In this...

[Chorus:]
United state of apathy
Got no motivation
United state of apathy
Strung out on a diet of pure frustration

(Relentless) the voices in your head are calling
(Relentless) they don't tell you what you want to hear
(Relentless) another smoke on inspiration
(Relentless) to take you anywhere, anywhere but here

[Pre-chorus + chorus]

Freedom of choice or a choice of freedom
Paying the price for the cost of living
Sit up straight eat your Jesus flakes
All good things come to those you hated

[Chorus]

(Relentless)
United state
United state
United state of apathy
We're just wasting away

8. Welcome To Defiance

Sometimes I feel like I'm almost damaged
Sometimes I get so hungry for tension
All wound up and nowhere to go
I just murdered another day

[Chorus:]
You got to go with what you know
Find the time to re-arrange
But you love to suffer in silence
When you know that you're
Welcome to defiance
Get up, get out and try it

Sometimes I get so sick of it all
Sometimes I feel like I've been branded
Wait a lifetime to get what you wanted
A stonewashed soul and a double standard

[Chorus]

Everything is crystal clear

A million failures a million tries
A million reasons to justify
I only wanted out of frustration
I guess sometimes we all get taken

[Chorus]

9. Way Beyond Belief

Open up your eyes
Get a little introspection in your life
Time to realise
What you have inside
Sometimes you've got to wear it out

[Pre-chorus:]
I'm not giving anymore
I'm not taking anymore
I'm not feeling anymore
I'm not guilty anymore

[Chorus:]
Take it way beyond belief

I don't need a reason
No matter what it takes
It's just another phase outgrown
Confront yourself
A change for the sake of it
Won't change anything

[Pre-chorus + chorus]

So just keep it out of reach and take it way beyond belief
What ever you think you need to take it way beyond belief

[Pre-chorus]

They say you got to live with what you believe
Am I living up to what you want me to be?

Open up your eyes - take it way beyond belief
Time to realise - take it way beyond belief
What you have inside - take it way beyond belief
I don't need a reason, I don't need a reason

[Pre-chorus + chorus]

10. Crackdown

Maybe this would be easier
Second time around
But every time I bring it up
You try to bring me down

Find someone else to crucify
Coz didn't we have fun
Don't you know that a little pain
Never hurts anyone

[Chorus:]
Why can't you let it be
You're living all over me
Try taking a different view
It's good for me and it's better for you
Crack-down
Right now

So don't believe the powers that be
They're colour blind and they can't see
Can't understand what you can't kill
You always have and you always will

[Chorus]

This isn't the answer to anything
Love and damage

[Chorus]

11. Sorry For Nothing

I never listen to reason
Coz I got no reason to listen
Put your mind inside a bodybag
It's in a terminal condition (right)

[Pre-chorus:]
You love, hate and kill my time
Love, hate and kill my time
Now I want to rise and shine

[Chorus:]
Sorry for nothing
Why should I feel
Sorry for nothing

I believe deep down inside
You think you're Jesus fucking Christ
Point the gun, aim to please
Coz I know, you know, I know I'm right

[Pre-chorus + chorus]

I hope you're feeling bitter
I'm so happy I could die
You told me I could count on you
But I can't count that high

[Pre-chorus]

I hope you're feeling bitter
Sorry for nothing

12. Cheat

Confidence broken
We fight for control
All my friends are hollow
And no one else is whole

[Pre-chorus:]
I'm not your anxiety
I'm not your anxiety

[Chorus:]
Stop taking, stop taking
Stop taking the easy way out

Caught me wide open
Take what you see
Tear the world to pieces
Dying by degrees

[Pre-chorus + chorus]

I'm not living for you

[Pre-chorus + chorus]

Stop taking the easy way out of this
