Альбом Everlast

(Chorus)
I think I would, if I could kill the emperor,
Let's stop the war and feed the poor, let's kill the emperor
Let's stop the lies, the dead can't rise, silence every mother's cries
I think I would, if I could, kill the emperor

Yo it's like resident evil, the emperor's people don't give a mad fuck about your life
They'll fuck your wife and your kids
They've got people doing bids for being slaves to the dope that they supplying,
Still they keep lying and tell you that it's some cartel
While they waiting on the heaven they're creating the hell
They rape the constitution while you wait in your cell,
And for the victors go the spoils and that's oil wells,
Call Orsen Wells cause the worlds at war
And the frontline is just outside your front door
Fuck the New York Times, Fuck CNN,
And politicians that pretend to be the working mans' friend

(Chorus)

Yo the emperor's a liar, the fields are on fire
Oil prices get higher, times about to expire
Hurricane Katrina and Asian tsunamis,
Adolescent mommies and high school snipers
Final days are coming, get ready for trial.
Americans they live in fifty states of denial
Have a coke and a smile, or some crack in a vile
You can even buy a pill to keep you hard for a while for these girls gone wild.
In this world at war, it's the same old whores it's the new crusade,
Yo the plan been made, they lied to invade.
I'm on the palace lawn with my live grenade

(Chorus)

(originally by Johnny Cash)

I hear the train a comin'
It's rollin' 'round the bend,
And I ain't seen the sunshine,
Since, I don't know when,
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison,
And time keeps draggin' on,
But that train keeps a-rollin',
On down to San Antone.

When I was just a baby,
My Mama told me, "Son,
Always be a good boy,
Don't ever play with guns,"
But I shot a man in Reno,
Just to watch him die,
When I hear that whistle blowin',
I hang my head and cry.

I bet there's rich folks eatin',
In a fancy dining car,
They're probably drinkin' coffee,
And smokin' big cigars,
But I know I had it comin',
I know I can't be free,
But those people keep a-movin',
And that's what tortures me.

Well, if they freed me from this prison,
If that railroad train was mine,
I bet I'd move out over a little,
Farther down the line,
Far from Folsom Prison,
That's where I want to stay,
And I'd let that lonesome whistle,
Blow my Blues away

Ride with the devil, hide with the lord
I got no pistol, ain't got no sword
I got no army, ain't got no land,
Ain't got nothing but the stone that's in my hand
Stone in my hand, stone in my hand
Ain't got nothing but the stone that's in my hand

You say you want a revolution, well get on board
We'll start a new crusade; we'll start a holy war
Don't need no orders, don't need no plan
I don't need nothing but the stone that's in my hand

Stone in my hand, stone in my hand
I don't need nothing but the stone that's in my hand
Stone in my hand, stone in my hand
I don't need nothing but the stone that's in my hand

You build your fighter jets, you drop your bombs
You kill our fathers, you kill our moms
You kill our brother and our sisters, and our uncles and our aunts
Still I'm fighting with the stone that's in my hand

Stone in my hand, stone in my hand
Still I'm fighting with the stone that's in my hand
Stone in my hand, stone in my hand
All the love that's in my heart and the stone that's in my hand

Blood runs in the gutters, smoke fills the sky
Every son that suffers, every mother cries
So if you've had enough and you're ready for your stand
I'll be waiting with the stone that's in my hand

Stone in my hand, stone in my hand
I'll be waiting with the stone that's in my hand
Stone in my hand, stone in my hand
All the love that's in my heart and the stone that's in my hand

Verse 1
I got my pick up truck, and I got my gun, and I got a taste for whiskey and pills.
I know I'm kinda far, coz im my father's son and i got a hole in my heart I cant fill
Turn off the parking light, down by the rivers end.
this is my darkest night girl youre swimming in my head

Chorus 1
It happens all the time, i blow it every time
people change with time
call me anytime girl
i miss you oh so often
whats been said is done
its my only option girl ill be anyone for you.
anyone.

Verse 2
Out on the interstate, i play my radio
and i confess to all my sins
Been driving seven hours, still got 3 to go
where it always ends, the road begins
you've got your broken wings
i've got mine sewn apart
girl all these f**ked up things
they keep us torn apart

Chorus 2
it happens all the time
i blow it every time
people change with time
call me anytime you like
i miss you oh so often
whats been said is done
its my only option
ill kill anyone for you.

anyone
anywhere
anytime

for you

Girl I wanna die in yer arms tonight, really don’t care bout the wrong or right
The fruit is forbidden but it’s sweet and it’s ripe,
Think I’m gon’ pick me some and take me a bite

Baby girl looks so good, she walks so mean
Got a vicious little sway, I think she’s semi-obscene
She’ll pick ya bones clean, oh my god she’s so fine
She sweeter than the dew out on the grapes on the vine

Ima pick’er, Ima squeez’er, Ima make me some wine
Ima drink’er til im crazy, Ima drink til I’m blind
Ima touch her so good
ima treat her so fine
Ima make love to her soul
Im gonna fuck’er with her mind

Im gonna die in yer arms tonight
I really don’t care bout the wrong or right
The fruit is forbidden but it’s sweet and it’s ripe,
Think I’m gon’ pick me some & take me a bite

Baby girl acts so proper, like daddy’s littler daughter,
A wolf in sheep’s clothing leading lambs out to the slaughter
She’s lookin’ so young, she’s smellin’ so pretty
She’s a junkie on a binge, and her drug is the city

She’s a vicious little biddy,
Attitude is shitty
An’ if I get my way she pro’ly gonna come home with me
Talkin’ good for nothin’
Eyes were made for cryin’
Bombs were made for droppin’
Girl yer arms are made for dyin

Ima die in yer arms tonight, I really don’t care bout the wrong or right
The fruit is forbidden but it’s sweet and it’s ripe,
Think I’m gon’ pick me some and take me a bite

Ima die in yer arms tonight, I really don’t care bout the wrong or right
The fruit is forbidden but it’s sweet and it’s ripe,
Think I’m gon’ pick me some and take me a bite

Die in yer arms tonight
Care bout the wrong or right
Forbidden by it’s sweet and it’s ripe
Pick me some and take me a bite

There's a sickness in my soul
And I don't know but I been told it's incurable
There's a darkness in my heart
Slowly tearin' me apart, it's unbearable
Drop of blood, a lake of tears
And baby after all these years you're still beautiful
And I've been loved and I've been used
Cut wide open, scarred and bruised
I'm unbreakable

Flesh it heals I know
Hearts they never mend
Lover's come and go girl right now I need a friend

Walk for miles, talk for days
And I keep trying to change my ways
It's so difficult
You kick and scream
You curse and yell
Tell me I should go to hell
It's so typical
Touch my heart, feel my pain
Let me know I'm not insane
You're so merciful
Break your heart
I cheat, I lie
And honestly I don't know why I'm so pitiful

Flesh it heals I know
Hearts they never mend
Lover's come and go girl right now I need a friend...yeah

There's a sickness in my soul
And I don't know but I been told it's incurable
There's darkness in my heart, that's slowly tearin' me apart
It's unbearable...yeah

Flesh it heals I know
Hearts they never mend
Lovers come and go girl right now I need a friend..yeah

Right now I need a friend

There's a sickness in my soul
And I don't know but I been told it's incurable

Please, please, please don't leave me now girl
After all I've done for you
On my knees here, let's work it out woman
After all that we've been through

I told you that everyone cheats, everyone lies,
Everyone suffers and everyone cries
Old people laugh, young people try,
Lovers they know when they look in your eyes
Everyone cheats, everyone lies,
Everyone hustles and everyone strives
Bad people win, good people die
Lovers they know when they look in your eyes

Hush your mouth girl
Settle down woman,
Cause you don't make no sense
Make up your mind girl
Come around now,
Come down from off that fence

Don't you know everyone cheats, everyone lies,
Everyone suffers and everyone cries
Old people laugh, young people try,
Lovers they know when they look in your eyes
Everyone cheats, everyone lies,
Everyone hustles and everyone tries
Bad people win, good people die
Lovers they know when they look in your eyes

Watch your temper girl
Calm your nerves down
Better watch how you react
Put your hands down
Back up off me woman,
Cause you might get touched back

Everyone cheats, everyone lies,
Everyone suffers and everyone cries
Old people laugh and young people try
Lovers they know when they look in your eyes
Everyone cheats, everyone lies,
Everyone hustles and everyone strives
Bad people win, good people die
Lovers they know when they look in your eyes.

When they look in your eye...
When they look in your eyes
Lovers they know when they look in your eyes

Blue sky, devil eye
Cyanide, suicide
Double down, let it ride
Lose your money
Bruise your pride
Easy come, easy went
Ghetto slums tenements
Things look real, Old Testament
Blame it all on the president

(Chorus)
The emperor's got brand new clothes
And everybody but him knows he's naked
But you don't say a word
The emperor's got brand new jewels
Wake up soon you silly fools
He's naked
But you don't say a word
The rich they get richer
The poor they get poorer
While liberty stands naked screaming in horror
The emperor raped her but we just ignore her
The rich they get richer
The poor they get poorer

Euthanize, youth will rise
Scrutinize, truth from lies
Time to revolutionize
Organize, weaponise
Easy come, easy go
Think I'm movin just a little bit too slow
Got front row tickets to the big freak show
Wait for the whole freakin' thing to blow

(Chorus)

Homicide, genocide
Victimize, paralyze
Empathize and analyze
Compromise and vandalize
Easy come, hard to take
Wide awake the original fake
Find the heart, drive the stake
Wait for the whole freakin' thing to break

(Chorus)

I just can't do it, not anymore
Every time I fake a smile I feel just like a whore
I just can't do it, it's beyond my means
And all I know about love reading fashion magazines
I just can't do it, it can't be done
That's just what I say cause I know I'm not the one

And I've been moving for so long
Life's a million miles away
I'm the one that made you strong girl
But I could not make you stay

I just can't do it, it's much too hard,
I drive around alone at night up and down the boulevard
I just can't do it, I feel so old
It looks like the sun is shining but the wind's blowing cold
I just can't do it, it's gone too far
I sit at home alone at night just wondering where you are

And I've been standing still so long
My minds a million miles away
I'm the one that made you strong girl
But I could not make you stay

I just can't do it, no matter how hard I try
You don't come around anymore but I know the reason why
I just can't do it, it's way too late
I hang on with all my might I can't accept this fate
I just can't do it, I feel so bad
I sit around and think about the chances that I've had

And I've been hurting for so long
You're a million miles away
I'm the one that made you strong girl
But I could not make you stay
But I could not make you stay
No, I could not make you stay

Sittin' restless under the moonlight
I know I'm getting ready to kill
They say we're going in with the day light
I don't want to but I will...

'Cause I won't know the man that kills me
And I don't know thes men I kill
I thank God for my salvation
Wash away the blood I spill

I try not to think about my family
'Cause it's a little too much to take
Out here I got me and I got my buddy
We can't afford even one mistake

I started writing on dirty cardboards...
It's the only paper I could find
Tell everyone I got their letters,
Tell everyone I'm doing fine

Late at night when I can dream I...
I think about life back in the world

I miss you and dad, I miss sister Sarah
I miss my wife and my baby girl

Pray for me... pray for my soul Ma
Pray for me and all my sins

They say I got a job to do now
I'll be back when it finally ends

Do you think I should be fighting?
Ma; are you proud are you ashamed?

Really I'm trying to do the right thing
I hope my Government can say the same thing

'Cause I won't know the man that kills me
And I don't know these men I kill
We all wind upon the same side
'Cause ain't none of us doin' God's Will

I was too busy counting all my zeros
Never really thought too much about heroes
Never really thought too much about anyone but me
Never really opened my eyes wide enough so that I could see

I'm just like you, you're just like me
I'm just like you, you're just like me
We're only separated by a few degrees
I'm just like you, you're just like me
Just like me
Just like me

Never really thought too much about tomorrow,
Never really dealt very well with sorrow
Tired of living my life like a feather floating on the breeze
Trying to find me a good woman that can bring me down to my knee

I'm just like you, you're just like me
I'm just like you, you're just like me
We're only separated by a few degrees
I'm just like you, you're just like me
Just like me
Just like me

I think I've always tried to do the right the right thing,
I've been a little to scared to ride the lightening
Tired of living my days surrounded by all these fears
Still stuck in my ways haven't changed after all these years

I'm just like you, you're just like me
I'm just like you, you're just like me
We're only separated by a few degrees
I'm just like you, you're just like me
Just like me
Just like me

Just like me
Just like me

Met a fine red boned mami, she told me that her name was Lucille
Met her on Fountain Avenue sitting on a Cadillac Coupe de Ville
She said I'm a liar, a thief, a junkie and I used to be a whore
And I've been trying to shake this monkey so long I just can't take it no more

I got a weakness, I got a hunger, I got a jones
I'm sick and I need to get well, I hurt deep in my bone
I got a weakness, I got a fever, I got a thirst,
I'm sitting on the edge of the bubble
Just waiting for it to burst?

We talked all afternoon, she made me cry, I told some jokes
She looked me deep in my eyes and told me love was nothing but a cruel hoax
Her grandmother died when she was five and she never did know her folks
Her father fell in a gun fight and her mother by an overdose

I got a weakness I got a hunger, I got a jones
I'm sick and I need to get well, I hurt deep in my bones
I got a weakness, I got a fever, I got a thirst,
I'm sitting on the edge of the bubble
Just waiting for it to burst

She said I've slept with gangsters, thugs and smugglers, congressman and governors
I've seen therapists and holy men but this weakness is my only friend
It feeds my need it numbs my soul, it starts to creep and takes control
Sell my flesh I pierce my skin
And tomorrow I'ma do it all again

I got a weakness I got a hunger I got a jones.
I'm sick and I need to get well
I hurt deep in my bones.
I got a weakness, I got a fever, I got a thirst,
I'm sitting on the edge of the bubble
Just waiting for it to burst?

And I'm so dirty
Call me daddy
You're so sexy
You can be my bad girl
If someone hurt you
And you tried to hide it
I'll cut you deeper
Cause I know you like it
The pain I got girl
Can satisfy you
But I can't love you
I won't even try to
And that junkie urge
Deep down inside you
Couldn't keep my secret
But I know you'd like to

Girl you never gon' get love from a heart of stone
Some of us were just plain meant to be alone
I'm all out of secrets
I'm running out of lies
And I can see the end girl
When I look into your eyes

And I'm so nasty
And I'm so greedy
And I'm so lonesome
Girl I'm so needy
I want to take you
And make you my girl
My willing hostage
My favorite prisoner
I'll be your owner
And I'll be your jailer
Ill be your lover
Girl I'll be your savior
I'll be your alpha
And your omega
I'll break your heart girl
And you'll call me later

Girl you never gon' get love from a heart of stone
Some of us were just plain meant to be alone
I'm all out of secrets
I'm running out of lies
And I can see the end girl
When I look into your eyes

And I'm so dirty
Call me daddy
You're so sexy
You can be my bad girl (4x)

There's a house up on the hill
Where you can just make out the ocean
There's a women there waiting for your hard work
All and every breath she takes is like artwork
And I think that I can just about touch the ocean.

There's 1500 miles between me and my next real smile
I think I can just about smell the ocean
I'm full of unquestionable devotion,
But I think I put a terrible thing in motion
The ocean...

There's a house up on the hill
Where the air smells like the sea
I left my heart up there, rusting inside the salty air
I tried to make it home but I lost the key
It's been 600 days since I laid eyes on your gorgeous face
I'm trying to make it home but I lost the key
I'm waiting for the lord to set me free
I'm wishing that you were standing here right next to me

There's a house up on the hill (the ocean)
Where you can just make out the ocean
There's a house up on the hill
It used to feel like home
There's a house up on the hill
Where the air smells like the sea (the ocean)
There's a house up on the hill...

Change your look, cut your hair
And I pretended like I don't care
Your so lovely girl, stop crying
Bite my lip, I close my eyes
Try to tell myself your no prize
Can't forget you girl but I'm tryin'
No one else will ever be
The things that you are to me girl
Kind of special hey I ain't lying
Bite your neck, I pull your hair
You're so innocent and unaware
I'm so lonely, I'm so scared girl
I'm dieing here

Every single time I went and fell in love
Push came down to shove, I really tried to work it out
And every single time I couldn't let it go
Babygirl don't you know your heart was too full of doubt

Grab your shoes, walk out the door
Like you've done a thousand times before
But you got nowhere you can go to
Try to run girl but you can't hide
All the voices deep down inside
Repeat all them things that I told you
You're steadily on my mind
Girl spoonin' you from behind
That's my favorite way that I hold you
For every time I let you down
For every tear that touched the ground
For every sincere apology that I owe you girl

Every single time I went and fell in love
Push came down to shove, I really tried to work it out
And every single time I couldn't let it go
Babygirl don't you know your heart was too full of doubt

I've been loving you a little too long
And still I keep holding on
It's been a year since you been gone girl
Check it out now

Every single time I went and fell in love
Push came down to shove, I really tried to work it out
And every single time I couldn't let it go
Babygirl don't you know your heart was too full of doubt

Every single time I went and fell in love
Push came down to shove, I really tried to work it out
And every single time I couldn't let it go
Babygirl don't you know your heart was too full of doubt

(Saving Grace Theme)

One time around the block
2 times around the clock
3 times don't cross the little lady

So pretty & oh so bold
Got a heart full of gold on a lonely road
She said "I don't even think that God can save me"

(Am I) gaining ground
(Am I) losing face
(Am I) lost & found by Saving Grace
Thankful for the gift My Angel's gave me

Born alone
We die alone
Nuttin' but sittin' here by the phone
Waitin for the Lord to send my callin'

Street wise from the boulevard
Jesus only knows that she tries too hard
She's only tryin' to keep the sky from fallin'

Any man says it's Heaven & Hell
Prob'ly got somethin' useless to sell
You ask me if I'm saved but what's it to ya?

Blow a quarter
Cop another eighth
You're runnin' out of high, you're losin' your faith
Throw your hands up & scream halleluiah

Halleluiah [x4] Amen
