Wooden Jesus, where are you from?
Korea or Canada or maybe Taiwan?
But I didn't know it was the Holy Land
But I believed from the minute the check left my hand and I pray
Can I be saved?
I spent all my money on a future grave
Wooden Jesus, I'll cut you in
On twenty percent of my future sin
I'll cut you in
In porcelain Mary, her majesties pure
Looking for virgin territory
Coat hanger halos, they don't come cheap
From television shepherds with living room sheep and I pray
Can I be saved?
I spent all my money on a future grave
Wooden Jesus, I'll cut you in
On twenty percent of my future sin
I'll cut you in
I'll cut you in
Ah! Wooden Jesus, where are you from?
Korea or Canada or maybe Taiwan?
But I didn't know it was the Holy Land
But I believed from the minute the check left my hand
Can I be saved?
I spent all my money on a future grave
Wooden Jesus, I'll cut you in
On twenty percent of my future sin
Hey
I'll cut you in
I'll cut you in
I'll cut you in
I'll cut you in
I'll cut you in
I'll cut you in
Yeah!
Oh

The Who - I've Had Enough

1973
Roger Daltrey – lead vocals, backing vocals, harmonica
Pete Townshend – guitar, piano, synthesizer, backing and lead vocals
John Entwistle – bass, brass, backing and lead vocals
Keith Moon – drums, occasional vocals
You were under the impression
That when you were walking forwards
That you'd end up further onward
But things ain't quite that simple
You got altered information
You were told to not take chances
You missed out on new dances
Now you're losing all your dimples
My jacket's gonna be cut and slim and checked
Maybe a touch of seersucker, with an open neck
I ride a G.S. scooter with my hair cut neat
I wear my wartime coat in the wind and sleet
Love reign o'er me
Reign o'er me
Love reign o'er me
Love
I've had enough of living
I've had enough of dying
I've had enough of smiling
I've had enough of crying
I've taken all the high roads
I've squandered and I've saved
I've had enough of childhood
I've had enough of graves
I've had enough of living
I've had enough of dying
I've had enough of smiling
I've had enough of crying
I've taken all the high roads
I've squandered and I've saved
I've had enough of childhood
I've had enough of graves
Get a job and fight to keep it
Strike out to reach a mountain
Be so nice on the outside
But inside keep ambition
Don't cry because you hunt them
Hurt them first they'll love you
There's a millionaire above you
And you're under his suspicion
My jacket's gonna be cut slim and checked
Maybe a touch of seersucker, with an open neck
I ride a G.S. scooter with my hair cut neat
I wear my wartime coat in the wind and sleet
Love reign o'er me
Reign o'er me
Love reign o'er me
Love
I've had enough of dance halls
I've had enough of pills
I've had enough of street fights
I've seen my share of kills
I'm finished with the fashions
And acting like I'm tough
I'm bored with hate and passion
I've had enough of trying to love

Layin' on my back
In the newly mown grass
Rain is coming down
But Ithe clouds are sure to pass
The seeds are bursting
Springs a seeping
Lay down my darling
Love ain't for keeping
Black ash from the foundry
Hangs like a hood
But the air is so pure
By the burning firewood
You bring me tea
Say the babes are sleeping
Lay down beside me
Love ain't for keeping
Lay down beside me
Love ain't for keeping
Lay down my darling
Love ain't for keeping

Seether - Fine Again
2002
It seems like everyday's the same
and I'm left to discover on my own
It seems like everything is gray
and there's no color to behold
They say it's over and I'm fine again, yeah
Try to stay sober, feels like I'm dyin', here
And I am aware now of how
everything's gonna be fine one day
Too late, I'm in hell
I am prepared now,
seems everyone's gonna be fine
One day too late, just as well
I feel the dream in me expire
and there's no one left to blame it on
I hear you label me a liar
'cause I can't seem to get this through
You say it's over, I can sigh again, yeah
Why try to stay sober when I'm dyin', here?
And I am aware now of how
everything's gonna be fine one day
Too late, I'm in hell
I am prepared now,
seems everyone's gonna be fine
One day too late, just as well
And I'm not scared now.
I must assure you,
you're never gonna get away
And I'm not scared now.
And I'm not scared now, No..
I am aware now of how
everything's gonna fine one day
Too late, I'm in hell
I am prepared now
seems eveyone's gonna be fine
One day too late, just as well
I am prepared now,
seems eveything's gonna be fine for me
For me; for myself
For me, for me, for myself
For me, for me, for myself
I am pepared now for myself
I am prepared now, and I am found... again

Double G – string arrangement
I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh
I want to hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph, I know it serves me well
I want to hold you high and steal your pain
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I want to hold you high, you steal my pain away
There's so much left to learn, and no one left to fight
I want to hold you high and steal your pain
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away

Ooh
I tried to love you
I thought I could
I tried to own you
I thought I would
I want to peel the skin from your face
Before the real you lays to waste
You told me I'm the only one
Sweet little angel
You should have run
Lying, crying, dying to leave
Innocence creates my hell
Cheating myself
Still, you know more
It would be so easy
With a whore
Try to understand me, little girl
My twisted passion to be your world
Lost inside my sick head
I live for you but I'm not alive
Take my hand before I kill
I still love you, but, I still burn
Yeah
Love, hate, love
Yeah
Love, hate, love
Yeah
Love, hate, love
Oh
Love, hate, love
Yeah
Love, hate, love

Alice In Chains - Dam That River
Dirt
1992
Layne Staley – lead vocals, rhythm guitar
Jerry Cantrell – co-lead vocals backing vocals, lead and rhythm guitar, acoustic guitars
Mike Starr – bass
Sean Kinney – drums
I broke you in the canyon
I drowned you in the lake
You, a snake that I would trample
Only thing I'd not embrace
Oh, you couldn't dam that river
And maybe I don't give a damn anyway
So you couldn't dam that river
And it washed me so far away
I pushed and then you stumbled
I kicked you in the face
You stared at me so hollow
Got to keep that killing pace
Oh, you couldn't dam that river
And maybe I don't give a damn anyway
So you couldn't dam that river
And it washed me so far away
I burned the place around you
I hit you with a rake
You piss upon my candle
So proving you're a fake
Oh, you couldn't dam that river
And maybe I don't give a damn anyway
So you couldn't dam that river
And it washed me so far away

Audioslave - Be Yourself
Chris Cornell – lead vocals
Tom Morello – guitars
Tim Commerford – bass guitar
Brad Wilk – drums
Someone falls to pieces
Sleeping all alone
Someone kills the pain
Spinning in the silence
She finally drifts away
Someone gets excited
In a chapel yard
Catches a bouquet
Another lays a dozen
White roses on a grave
And be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
Someone finds salvation in everyone
Another only pain
Someone tries to hide himself
Down inside himself he prays
Someone swears his true love
Until the end of time
Another runs away
separate or united
Healthy or insane
And be yourself is all that you can do (all that you can do)
To be yourself is all that you can do (all that you can do)
To be yourself is all that you can do (all that you can do)
Be yourself is all that you can do
Even when you've paid enough
Been pulled apart
Or been held up
Every single memory of
The good or bad, faces of love
Don't lose any sleep tonight
I'm sure everything will end up alright
You may win or lose
But to be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do (all that you can do)
To be yourself is all that you can do (all that you can do)
To be yourself is all that you can
Be yourself is all that you can
Be yourself is all that you can do

Steve Howe - Goodbye Blue Sky

Billy Sherwood - Vocals, Keyboards
Del Palmer (Kate Bush) - Bass
Look, Mummy. The small plane up in the sky
Did, did, did, did you see the frightened ones?
Did, did, did, did you hear the falling bombs?
Did, did, did, did you ever wonder
Why we had to run for shelter
When the promise of a brave new world
Unfurled beneath a clear blue sky?
Did, did, did, did you see the frightened ones?
Did, did, did, did you hear the falling bombs?
The flames are all long gone
But the pain lingers on
Goodbye blue sky
Goodbye blue sky
Goodbye
Goodbye

I see that smile, I see that smile
I see that smile on your face
We hear you cry, we hear you wail
We see that smile on your face
Will you trail? We see you dance
We take that away every day
We see you dry and turn your head
Then we slap your face
Bow down, bow down
Bow down to your life
Head down, head down
Head down to hide that smile
Head high, head high
Head high, you've got to smile
Head high, head high
Head high, you've got to smile
We see you try, we see you fail
Some things never change
We hear you cry, we hear you wail
We steal that smile on your face
Bow down, bow down
Bow down, so live your life
Head down, head down
Head down to hide your smile
Head high, head high
Head high, you've got to smile
Head high, head high
Head high, got to smile

Long time coming
It seemed to get me through
Long time coming
Many served the few
And long to taste the shame
That bows down before you
Long time coming
It seemed to get me by
Long time coming
It seemed to satisfy
You longed to taste the shame
That everybody tries
Shame shame
Throw yourself away
Give me little bits of more than I can take
If it sits upon your tongue or naked in your eye
Give me little bits of more than I can try
Throw yourself away
Throw yourself away
Yeah
Shame shame
Throw yourself away
Give me little bits of More than I can take
If it sits upon your Tongue or naked in your eye
Give me little bits of More than I can try
Long time coming, long time coming

Audioslave - Like A Stone
Audioslave
Chris Cornell – vocals

Tom Morello – guitars
On a cobweb afternoon
In a room full of emptiness
By a freeway I confess
I was lost in the pages
Of a book full of death
Reading how we'll die alone
And if we're good, we'll lay to rest
Anywhere we want to go
In your house, I long to be
Room by room, patiently
I'll wait for you there
Like a stone
I'll wait for you there
Alone
And on my deathbed I will pray
To the gods and the angels
Like a pagan to anyone
Who will take me to heaven
To a place I recall
I was there so long ago
The sky was bruised
The wine was bled
And there you led me on
In your house, I long to be
Room by room, patiently
I'll wait for you there
Like a stone
I'll wait for you there
Alone
Alone
And on I read
Until the day was gone
And I sat in regret
Of all the things I've done
For all that I've blessed
And all that I've wronged
In dreams until my death
I will wander on
In your house, I long to be
Room by room, patiently
I'll wait for you there
Like a stone
I'll wait for you there
Alone
Alone

Mother mother found me on her step
Gracious mother held me to her breast Until the day I started pushin'
Too late to cry she turned away I started pushin'
I saw no future in this life
I started pushin'
Pushin', pushin', pushin' forward back
I was pushin', pushin', pushin' forward back
I was pushin', pushin', pushin' forward back
I was pushin', pushin', pushin' forward back
Baby brother clinging to her hair
Gracious mother pleading, "not another soul to bare"
He started pushin'
All my kings have fallen down
I started pushin'
Fallen heroes feed the ground
I started pushin', pushin', pushin' forward back
I was pushin', pushin', pushin' forward back
I was pushin', pushin', pushin' forward back
I was pushin', pushin', pushin' forward back
Fallin' down, now I know her
I know I'll never drown, drown, drown
Fallin' down, now I know her
I know I'll never drown, drown, drown
Ah , I was pushin'
I was pushin', pushin', pushin' forward back
I was pushin', pushin', pushin' forward back
I was pushin', pushin', pushin' forward back
I was pushin', pushin', pushin' forward back
I was pushin', pushin', pushin' forward back
I was pushin', pushin', pushin' forward back
I was pushin', pushin', pushin' forward back
I was pushin', pushin', pushin' forward back
I was pushin', pushin', pushin' forward back
I was pushin', pushin', pushin' forward back

Wooden Jesus, where are you from?
Korea or Canada or maybe Taiwan?
But I didn't know it was the Holy Land
But I believed from the minute the check left my hand and I pray
Can I be saved?
I spent all my money on a future grave
Wooden Jesus, I'll cut you in
On twenty percent of my future sin
I'll cut you in
In porcelain Mary, her majesties pure
Looking for virgin territory
Coat hanger halos, they don't come cheap
From television shepherds with living room sheep and I pray

Wooden Jesus, I'll cut you in
