This revolution it will never falter, woahoa We are the people, we’re not alone A better world is only possible, woa-ho-oa If we’re the power behind the throne Every day we are given a reason To rise up and to not be defined By the Empire’s infinite treason Stand our ground and leave no one behind Money’s supposed to make the world go round But all it does is tear us apart We’ve got a say, yet if we make a sound We’re cut deep into our bleeding hearts This revolution it will never falter, woahoa We are the people, we’re not alone A better world is only possible, woa-ho-oa If we’re the power behind the throne This revolution, this revolution We’re not alone This revolution, this revolution We’re the power behind the throne Fighting back is not a bed of roses It won’t happen overnight We won’t accept what this tyrant imposes Defending peace is still our woeful plight Trying to guarantee their own survival These so-called leaders, they make a mess So now it’s time for the people’s revival To take back what’s ours, progress This revolution it will never falter, woahoa We are the people, we’re not alone A better world is only possible, woa-ho-oa If we’re the power behind the throne This revolution, this revolution We’re not alone This revolution, this revolution We’re the power behind the throne This revolution, this revolution This revolution, this revolution WE ARE NOT ALONE

Jaded 03:01
We’ve entered the era of our own demise Where no one seems willing to sacrifice Any of the things that are destroying mankind We all love nothing but the comfort of our homes Yet we are afraid of the unknown That’s taking us by storm HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! We’re not silently waiting For you to get a clue In fact, we’re way past being jaded So now it’s time you learned the truth Hop you’re enjoying your latest iThing Leave the light on when you’re out You’re just a puppet on a string They’re the masons You’re the grout HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! We’re not silently waiting For you to get a clue In fact, we’re way past being jaded So now it’s time you learned the truth It's not only them, that’s just it. We too know… It's not only them, that’s just it. We too know… JACK SHIT! HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! We’re not silently waiting For you to get a clue In fact, we’re way past being jaded So now it’s time you learned the truth

Riler 01:11
In this place where a misogynist gets treated like he’s a philanthropist We’re going out of our minds, losing all hope for mankind Yet we pretend that we’re doing fine We’re doing fine! So let’s not sit idly by, while these bigshots get glorified Terribly loud, riling up a whole crowd Spitting hate and then acting proud You’re acting proud! You’re a riler! While you rile up the whole crowd, we pretend that we’re doing fine Fine.

Welcome your Majesty, the table is set We will do everything to make you feel comfortable today We wouldn’t want you to feel like we didn’t live up to your needs We won’t do tomorrow what we could’ve done yesterday Now I, I don’t mean to burst your bubble But let me just say this… Have you ever considered that maybe nobody likes you anyways? Come on, little princess, don’t cry Keep your head up high There’s always someone new to fool It’s okay Colorful serpentine, confetti strewn across the floor As you enter every room, you see us all light up a little more Now I, I don’t mean to burst your bubble But let me just say this… Have you ever considered that maybe nobody likes you anyways? Come on, little princess, don’t cry Keep your head up high There’s always someone new to fool Oh, it’s okay Hey Princess, how’re you doing? I’ve been meaning to call you for a minute ?? from checking in Don’t mind us or the gossip It’ll never distract us from worship ??? walk upon Have you ever considered that maybe nobody likes you anyways? Come on, little princess, don’t cry Keep your head up high There’s always someone new to fool It’s okay

Bonnie 02:26
Oh Bonnie, how you inspire me Till the day I die Oh Bonnie, how you inspire me Till the day I die She sits there just rockin’ in her chair And there’s always a smile on her face She tells me how lucky a girl I am She does so without a trace Of giving away how much she’s hurting Of showing even an inch of pain I cannot imagine how she’s feeling She keeps on dancing in the rain Oh Bonnie, how you inspire me Oh Bonnie, you’re my motivation I wanna live my life and not let it go by without leaving a mark on this earth I wanna be here for you, so on the day that I die I know it’s all been worthwhile I wanna live my life and not let it go by without leaving a mark on this earth I wanna be here for you, so on the day I die it’s all been worthwhile Oh Bonnie, how you inspire me Till the day I die She tells me cherish the memories Of the people you love, ‘cause they will Help you through trying times And nourish you every day until Your aching bones decide it’s time for You too to become a memory So you can in your turn help to guide those Closest to you fulfil their dreams Oh Bonnie, how you inspire me I wanna live my life and not let it go by without leaving a mark on this earth I wanna be here for you, so on the day that I die I know it’s all been worthwhile I wanna live my life and not let it go by without leaving a mark on this earth I wanna be here for you, so on the day I die it’s all been worthwhile I wanna live my life and not let it go by without leaving a mark on this earth I wanna be here for you, so on the day that I die I know it’s all been worthwhile I wanna live my life and not let it go by without leaving a mark on this earth I wanna be here for you until the day I die Oh Bonnie, how you inspire me Till the day I die Oh Bonnie, how you inspire me You’re my motivation

You don’t have a clue about what to do In this sticky sticky sticky sticky sticky sticky sticky situation Well, as you go you make the rules We’re in a state of deprivation Don’t think you know what you’re doing at all In fact you know… Jack shit! Your campaign is one big sales pitch Your p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-policy is full of choices That only serve to aid the rich Ignoring all of our voices Don’t think you know what you’re doing at all In fact you know… Don’t think you know what you’re doing at all In fact you know… Jack shit! Promises. Well, cross your heart and hope to die.

Pity Party 03:00
I’m out of whack today, care too much what people say When a million things go right, I dwell on the one thing that might Set me off course or take me off guard A spec of dust to leave me all scarred Woahoa oh no I beg of you just not to leave me Woahoa oh no Drown in this pity party Woahoa oh no I beg of you please, don’t deceive me Woahoa oh no I need you now Alarm rings in the crack of noon My body sings to a different tune Can’t get out of bed right now I’m out of whack today, care too much what people say When a million things go right, I dwell on the one thing that might Set me off course… Take me off guard… Woahoa oh no I beg of you just not to leave me Woahoa oh no Drown in this pity party Woahoa oh no I beg of you please, don’t deceive me Woahoa oh no I need you now Set me off course… Take me off guard… I beg of you just not to leave me Woahoa oh no Drown in this pity party Woahoa oh no I beg of you please, don’t deceive me Woahoa oh no I need you now I need you!

HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! I once knew a man who had traveled the world All of the things he had seen, they… Well, they were beyond compare He spoke of his adventures Of friends and foes, not a cent in his pocket Yet a true billionaire You were always the one we’d come running to The one with all of the answers, the one who knew Who would say it’d be alright in the end Oh, it would be alright in the end Now the spark in your eyes is fading away But I promise you it’ll be okay That it will be alright in the end Oh, it will be alright in the end But who ever tells the storyteller’s tale? HEY! HEY! HEY! Resigning his own for another’s good fortune Helping people find back their story But who ever tells his tale? You were always the one we’d come running to The one with all of the answers, the one who knew Who would say it’d be alright in the end Oh, it would be alright in the end Now the spark in your eyes is fading away But I promise you it’ll be okay That it will be alright in the end Oh, it will be alright in the end But who ever tells the storyteller’s tale? Oh, it will be alright in the end You were always the one we’d come running to The one with all of the answers, the one who knew Who would say it’d be alright in the end Oh, it would be alright in the end Now the spark in your eyes is fading away But I promise you it’ll be okay That it will be alright in the end Oh, it will be alright in the end But who ever tells the storyteller’s tale?

We take the night train way up north The lack of sleep doesn’t bother me We’re traveling on a shoestring There’s nothing in our pockets at all Old Mark Twain he got it right Travel is fatal to prejudice To walk this earth as far as you can Is the only cure for narrow-mindedness Bag’s packed for weeks, yet it seems to be weightless I’ve carried the world The cold wind on my cheeks, I feel I’ve finally found the answer I’ve carried the world Now the world carries me I look at you and then I know As the starry night hits your eyes We are the luckiest alive Just waiting for Aurora to arrive Enraptured in euphoria We ride our bikes circling the lake Cannot believe we are alone here Tiny creatures in Mother Nature’s wake Bag’s packed for weeks, yet it seems to be weightless I’ve carried the world The cold wind on my cheeks, I feel I’ve finally found the answer I’ve carried the world Now the world carries me At the edge of the planet there nothing left but you and me Bag’s packed for weeks, yet it seems to be weightless I’ve carried the world The cold wind on my cheeks, I feel I’ve finally found the answer I’ve carried the world Now the world carries me

I am here for you to judge, for you to comment on my looks I am here for you to joke, for you to tell me that I suck I don’t need you in my life Why waste even one more minute Karen about what you think of me?! Go and get the manager, I will show ‘em where it hurts , give me all my money back You can’t take away my rights This is where I’ll stand my ground, call on my freedom and liberty! I am here for you to judge, for you to comment on my looks I am here for you to joke, for you to tell me that I suck I don’t need you in my life Why waste even one more minute Karen about what you think of me?!

A wicked witch once told me that I’d die very young She put it to a melody, so listen to her song Girl, your greatest weakness lies within your own mind Live now and be fearless and you’ll no longer be blind DING DONG, the wicked witch… The wicked witch she flew… DING DONG, into the night… And I saw the world anew… At first cursed that wicked witch, but then again I reckoned She’s the one who made me savor every hour, every minute, every second DING DONG, the wicked witch… The wicked witch she flew… DING DONG, into the night… And I saw the world anew… To this day I live my life heeding her advice I’m here, I’m now, I’m not afraid Trying not to overanalyze DING DONG, the wicked witch… The wicked witch she flew… DING DONG, into the night… And I saw the world anew…
