I say we give 'em what they want That way when it all falls apart They'll take the blame, They'll take the blame, they'll take the blame For our mistakes And when they're staring, looking up So far away from the mountaintop They'll feel the flame, They'll feel the flame, They'll feel the flame For what we got And I know it ain't the best thing It's a blessing and a curse But I know it's not the worst And I know it ain't the best thing It's a blessing and a curse But I know it's not the worst Broken, there's nothing left but dust Then you're left with nothing but us We'll take the place, we'll take the place, we'll take the place Of what you made The only way that you can't be free In a cage that you cannot see We'll make those chains, we'll make those chains, we'll make those chains Fit comfortably And I know it ain't the best thing It's a blessing and a curse But I know it's not the worst And I know it ain't the best thing It's a blessing and a curse But I know it's not the worst When this wave, when this wave breaks More will come to take their place When this wave, when this wave BREAKS I say we give em what they want That way when it all falls apart They'll take the blame, They'll take the blame, they'll take the blame For our mistakes And I know it ain't the best thing It's a blessing and a curse But I know it's not the worst When this wave, when this wave breaks More will come to take their place When this wave, when this wave BREAKS

So it may never come - The answer we're awaiting Some say they've found it in a book - Some say it lingers in the look of a lover Longer than forever - More fulfilling than God You are powerless - To complicate Ohh the big simple Is what we need Ohh the big simple Breaks it all down to nothing That's what we are Nothing It's where we come from And it's where we've always been It's where you start And it's where I'll end Ohh the big simple Is what we need Ohh the big simple Breaks it all down to nothing That's what we are...

Window 04:19
Listen to your life where it takes you Who you're with and what they say Listen to your heart trust your guide and you'll never Go a-fuckin-stray Listen to the air every song ever written Just waiting to be heard If it sings to you will you hear it? It'll pass you by in a minute if you don't Open yourself up like a window And let the outside in So you think you're gonna be something special Gonna change the whole damn world? You better get your message together Or your voice will never be heard. Once you realize everyone's dyin' yeah It all becomes absurd There are those out there who are needing And others yeah who'll never feed 'em. You better Open yourself up like a window Or you'll end up like them I wish we could all just live together Rise above it all and live forever That is life as it should be not how it is I only got this one life to live Listen to your life where it takes you Who you're with and what they say Listen to your heart trust your guide and you'll never Go a-fuckin''-stray Listen to the air every song ever written Just waiting to be heard If it sings to you will you hear it? It'll pass you by in a minute if you don't Open yourself up like a window If you don't open yourself up like a window If you don't open yourself up like a window And let the outside in

White tornado in a dream Fists of fury twist of prophecy All is sunshine, all is rain There's a white tornado in my brain Tell me, What does it mean?... Feel the miles melt away Seize an idea of the passing day All my trouble all my pain Is a white tornado in my brain Tell me, What does it mean?... White tornado in my head Spending all that hard earned bread Pull the plug, circle the drain There's a white tornado in my brain Tell me, What does it mean?...
