THE ALMIGHTY LYRICS

1. Ongoing And Total

Always under control
Trying to remember how to feel
Just to insist that you really exist
But it’s the nearness that kills

Wishing the world away
On those crash diet suburban incentives
Innocence is no excuse
For all those self inflicted differences

[Pre chorus]
Everybody, everybody
Everybody make yourself a target
Just…

[Chorus]
Stay out of it
Stay out of it
Stay out of it
Stay…. out of it, out of it, out of it

So just like everyone
You found that brick wall building up inside
That we keep knocking down
From degeneration to degeneration

Stuck inside your thoughts
Scared of dependence clinging to security
Just go on from day to day
It takes a lot more than you got to give

[Pre chorus + chorus]

Your so happy and I’m not surprised
Coz everyone’s living in disguise
We watch the time go by and dream
We never feel guilty for anything

[Chorus]

2. Do You Understand

I think its time that you realized
Nothing means nothing to me… anymore

Its easy to use the right words
But say the wrong things
Thought I knew what I wanted
Now I don’t know for sure

You always hate the ones you love
Everybody’s had us we’re all used up
Sometimes these things don’t go the way there planned
Do you do you understand?
Do you do you understand?
Do you understand?
Do you understand?

I can’t stop myself from thinking
Trying to get the picture in the right frame of mind
Infected with reasons and touched by lies
All I see is nothing when I look behind

Go out and get burned
Last chance to forget what we learned
They’ll never show the other hand
Do you do you understand?
Do you do you understand?
Do you understand?
Do you understand?

You always hate the ones you love
Everybody’s had us we’re all used up
Sometimes these things don’t go the way there planned
Do you do you understand?
Do you do you understand?
Do you understand?
Do you understand?
Do you understand?
Do you understand?

3. All Sussed Out

Now they want to take away
Everything you haven't got
Coz it's the little things you have
That means such a lot
And the best years of your life
Are the worst you can remember
They say you've got it good
Coz they know they've got it better

You can't fight the power
When you ain't got the power to fight
And the only rights that you need to know
Are to know that you’ve got no rights

Now we're down on our knees
Trying to find our feet
Got to stop my heart from missing a repetitive beat
It's wrong to steal they hate the competition
They keep taking away our optimism

Don't let those feelings fool you
You've still got a lot to give
Hey hey hey
We all struggle to exist
But it's not where you live it's where you live

[Chorus]
Speed up the breakdown
We got you all sussed out
Speed up the breakdown
We got you all sussed out

Now it's a wonderful world of destiny
New confrontations everyday
We've got the best control that money can buy
But we still seem to lose it anyway

You can't fight the power
When you ain't got the power to fight
And the only rights that you need to know
Are to know that you’ve got no rights

[Chorus]
Speed up the breakdown
We got you all sussed out
Speed up the breakdown
We got you all sussed out

4. How Real Is Real For You

Let’s get this situation sorted out
Coz everybody’s an authority
An independent state of mind is one thing
If you define your own reality

You say that we both want the same thing
Well you don’t mind if I go on changing

[Chorus]
How real is real for you?
How real is real for you?

I’ve got to get some exploitation
Just to prove I’m all over you
Revolution starts in the mirror
Expectations are so hard to see thru

So tell me something that I don’t know
Now you’ve run out of things to control

[Chorus]
Take away that meaning
Destroy before feeling

5. Dead Happy

I don’t feel like struggling to-day
I’ve got to find a better way
I guess I should have known
That we’d be better off alone

So let my past speak for myself
Don’t make me repeat myself
I’ve got the scars to prove
My latest tendencies

[Chorus]
All I want is everything
Coz nothing changes everything
All I want is everything you’ve ever taken

I’ve got to open my eyes
I live with them closed to much sometimes
Clean my wounds what a mess
The things I used to have I don’t miss

Looking for the friends you’ll never find
Everything used to be better than this
What’s the point in making stands
When making sense makes no sense

[Chorus]
You can’t tell me how to feel anyomre
You can’t tell me what to feel anyomre
It doesn’t matter anyhow
Coz we’re dead happy now

6. Some Kind Of Anything

[Chorus]
Some kind of anything
Some kind of anything
Some kind of anything
Some kind of anything

Give me a gun, hey I want to be someone
Too tired to move
I never get the dreams I choose

[Pre chorus]
I don’t want to understand anymore
I don’t want to understand anymore

[Chorus]

What are you afraid of
Something new might be better
No matter what I say or do
You turn me into what you want to
I’ve got no reason to hate you
But I hate you for no reason
The world that we wanted
Just wasn’t worth the waiting

7. Coalition Star

I don’t feel threatened by my past
Just full of indifference
Wearing your dreams out
Yes I’m addicted
Yesterday people question my convictions
Anxiety ridden
Life’s contradictions

Shooting our mouths off
Words fly like bullets
Telling me nothing
It’s just passive bullshit
So don’t talk to me
I’ll just disappoint you
Is it all wasted time
Or time to get wasted
(chorus)
Coalition, Coalition, Coalition blue
I don’t want to be anyone
(Getting used to being used)

8. 8 Day Depression

I can never understand this thing called needing
Why do we always love the wrong people?

I read it in the paper before I knew
Coz they never gave me a name and I was sure it wasn’t you
I just went numb tried to hold on something
When it comes down to everything we got nothing

[Pre chorus]
So how the hell are you supposed to feel
We can’t give you anything

Little Taylor cried before she was born
Fighting for the chance just to be someone
We keep apologizing for things we should have done
Seems you never know what’s real until it’s gone

[Pre chorus]

[Chorus]

Get me out, get me out
Get me out of this 8 day depression
Feeling useless and nothings helping
Get me out of this 8 day depression

[Pre chorus + chorus]

9. Look What Happened Tomorrow

I’m good at nothing but I’m trying
I told the truth but I’m lying
Sick with the need to be accepted
Scared of the joke I’ll never get it

[Chorus]
Just give me five minutes
And I’ll give you the world
Just give me five minutes
And I’ll give you the world
Just give me five minutes

So stand in line and wait your turn
You’ve got to learn now baby learn
Self abused and plain confused
Everyone must get used

[Chorus]

In another time it’ll just be fine
It’ll be just fine in another time
In another time it’ll just be fine
It’ll be just fine in another time

Always looking for things to point the finger at
Looking for things to point your finger at
Looking for things to point your finger at
Looking for something, looking for something

[Chorus]

In another time it’ll just be fine
It’ll be just fine in another time
In another time it’ll just be fine
It’ll be just fine in another time
Look what happened tomorrow

10. 360

You’re talking to me
About my life
Your telling me
You’ve got to do what’s right
Putting words in my mouth
That I can’t spit out
We’ve got a brighter no future
All lit up in doubt

[Chorus]
I’m going to turn on you
Just like you turned on me
I don’t feel like you
You don’t feel like me
I’m going to turn on you
Just like you turned on me
Is it getting to you
The way it’s getting to me
Pressure, Pressure, Pressure

Live for opinions
Maybe more than I should
It’s a need to get higher
I reached as far as I could
Your taking me nowhere
No sense of direction
I never felt bitter
I just never felt anything

[Chorus]

So feel free to do what we tell you
(You don’t want it, you don’t need it)
Pressure, Pressure, Pressure

11. Feed The Need

Look at all the brand new people
Feeling bitter everyday
Reality bites the hands that feed
From the government take away
Sick responses to a sick system
So you’ve heard it all a million times
Putting profits before the people
In a police state of mind
Just to…

[Chorus]
Feed the need
When are you going to give
Feed the need
We want something better than this
Feed the need
When are you going to give
Feed the need
We want something better than this

A little freedoms a dangerous thing
But dreamings cheaper than TV
Instant glory just add money
Be all your not supposed to be
The more we want the less we get
Twisting in our skins
The coca cola death toll is rising
And there’s no disguising that it’s the real thing

[Chorus]

Ease the conscience look the other way
Coz everything’s alright forever
Natural born liars and radical devices
Try to fool us altogether
Killing for the company all trying to live
Somewhere that doesn’t exist
Run yourself into the ground
Coz that’s the way uh huh uh huh they like it

[Chorus]

12. Afraid Of Flying

I’m so high I can’t see what’s up
I’m so high I can’t see what’s up
I’m so high I can’t see what’s up
I’m so high I can’t see what’s up

When am I coming down again
When am I coming down again
When am I coming down again
When am I coming down again

13. Independent Deterrent

I’ve got a desperation mind
It stabs me from inside
Sitting on my own
Feeling guilty and alone
Like a champion of nothing
My minds wide open
I can’t think straight
My concentration’s broken

I don’t believe my TV
But I watch it everyday
Where violence is golden
In a state of self decay
Dead junkie lovers
Wings ran out of veins
Tomorrow won’t be different
Tomorrow’s just the same

[Chorus]
Burn it down
Burn it down
Burn it down
If it makes you feel bitter
Burn it down
Burn it down
Burn it down
If it makes you feel better

We just keep on repeating
What we already know
Time for fast indecisions
And a democracy to go
Directed considerations
Hard to say what you’ve not felt
Fight for your country
Against your government

[Chorus]

There’s no excuses for what we are
We could have something pretty good right now
They don’t love you for what you are
They only love what they’re going to get out of you

[Chorus]
