Hear the sound of the falling rain Coming down like an Armageddon flame (Hey!) The shame The ones who died without a name
Hear the dogs howling out of key To a hymn called Faith and Misery (Hey!) And bleed, the company lost the war today
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies This is the dawning of the rest of our lives On holiday
Hear the drum pounding out of time Another protester has crossed the line (Hey!) To find, the moneys on the other side
Can I get another Amen? (Amen!) Theres a flag wrapped around a score of men (Hey!) A gag, a plastic bag on a monument
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies This is the dawning of the rest of our lives On holiday
(Hey!) (Say, hey!)
The representative from California has the floor
Zieg Heil to the president Gasman Bombs away is your punishment Pulverize the Eiffel towers Who criticize your government Bang bang goes the broken glass and Kill all the fags that dont agree Trials by fire, setting fire Is not a way thats meant for me Just cause (hey, hey, hey), just cause, because were outlaws yeah!
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies This is the dawning of the rest of our lives I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
I lost my way Oh baby this stray heart Went to another Can you recover baby? Oh youre the only one that Im dreamin of Your precious heart Was torn apart by me and

Everyday I wake up with my back against the wall Anytime you get up someone wants to see you fall If you're afraid to lose it all, you're never gonna win I'll be giving you the finger Sticking out my chin Boom, boom, boom Here comes the boom, boom, boom Here comes the knockout My time is right now Turning your lights out I'm throwing down Here comes the knockout Until the last round I'm throwing down Go start a fire, go start a fight No regrets, this is your life Here comes the knockout My time is right now I'm throwing down [Verse 2] Are you living in a nightmare Are you living in a dream? Do you stand for something Will you fall for anything It's easier to count me out but you can count me in Cause I'm giving you the finger Sticking out my chin Boom, boom, boom Here comes the boom, boom, boom
Here comes the knockout My time is right now Turning your lights out I'm throwing down Here comes the knockout Until the last round I'm throwing down Go start a fire, go start a fight No regrets, this is your life Here comes the knockout My time is right now I'm throwing down, down, down Down, down Throwing down, down, down Down, down
Did you really live your life Or did it pass you by? What's it take to tell yourself You really were alive Look me in the eye
[Chorus] Here comes the knockout My time is right now Turning your lights out I'm throwing down Here comes the knockout Until the last round I'm throwing down Go start a fire, go start a fight No regrets, this is your life Here comes the knockout My time is right now I'm throwing down
You wanna start a fire It only takes a spark You gotta get behind the wheel If youre ever gonna drive that car If you wanna take a bite Youd better have the teeth If you wanna take that step Then get up off of your knees
Cause tonight, were alive
Wholl stand for the restless and the lonely, For the desperate and the hungry? Time for the count Im hearing you now For the faithful, the believer For the faceless and the teacher Stand up and be proud, What about now?
You wanna start a fight You gotta take a swing You gotta get your hands in the dirt To see what the harvest will bring You wanna raise your voice Dont be scared to breathe Dont be afraid to hurt Dont be ashamed to need
Cause tonight, were alive
Wholl stand for the restless and the lonely, For the desperate and the hungry? Time for the count Im hearing you now For the faithful, the believer For the faceless and the teacher Stand up and be proud, What about now?
We live for right reasons that drift through the seasons Still dreams are just pale, dark and grey And all of your plans that slip right through your hands Are just dreams that youll take to your grave
Tonight, were alive
Wholl stand for the restless, for the lonely, For the desperate and the hungry? Time for the count Im hearing you now For the faithful, the believer For the faceless and the teacher Stand up and be proud, What about now? What about now? What about now? What about now?
Take a look around you yeah the sky is falling Sinners say your prayers this train is off the tracks Nothing is forever when tomorrow's calling Dancing with the devil to get one day back
I'm not afraid of burning bridges 'Cause I know they're gonna light my way Like a Phoenix from the ashes Welcome to the future it's a new day
We don't run I'm standing my ground We don't run And we don't back down There's fire in the sky There's thunder on the mountains Bless each tear and this dirt I was born in run We don't run We don't run
Take me to the banks of your muddy water Where the flesh and blood and the spirit meet Only takes your touch for me to find salvation You're the only reason that I still believe
I'm not afraid of burning bridges 'Cause I know they're gonna light my way Like a Phoenix from the ashes Welcome to the future it's a new day
We don't run I'm standing my ground We don't run And we don't back down There's fire in the sky There's thunder on the mountain Bless each tear and this dirt I was born in run We don't run We don't run
We don't run I'm standing my ground We don't run And we don't back down There's fire in the sky There's thunder on the mountain Bless each tear and this dirt I was born in run We don't run We don't run
These four walls have got a story to tell Oh-oh oh-oh The door is off the hinges there's no wishing them well Oh-oh oh-oh
Outside the sky is coal black the streets are on fire The picture windows cracked and there's no where to run I know I know this house is not for sale
I set each stone and I hammered each nail This house is not for sale When every memory is lived and my dreams all fail This house is not for sale Coming home I'm coming home
Swirl my spike into the ground and I stake my claim Oh-oh oh-oh Standing on the dirt where they'll dig my grave Oh-oh oh-oh
Now I built these walls it's in my veins No time for lookin' back the world is out the door This heart this soul this house is not for sale
I set each stone and I hammered each nail This house is not for sale When every memory is lived and my dreams all fail This house is not for sale Coming home I'm coming home
This house was built on trust That's what it is it always was No wrecking ball could knock it down This house was built on higher ground
I set each stone and I hammered each nail This house is not for sale When every memory is lived and my dreams all fail This house is not for sale Coming home I'm coming home
Coming home I'm coming home This house is not for sale Coming home I'm coming home I'm coming home I'm coming home
