Better Off Dead

I wanna talk about a sound, a voice, a freedom, rejoice.

I can't stay silent while you take away our choice.

The guns, the armour, the gossip, the drama.

The innocent, guilty, we're all free of karma.

The nation, the rules, the patient, the fools,

The picket lines inside, to close down schools,

A chance we take, the path we tread,

You can't cry 'freedom', when you're standing on the dead,

Nobody put this in me, I only wanna get free,

Battered out of hatred, jealousy, envy,

Liars, the fakes, the funerals, the wakes,

The life we live, you give, it takes,

The stones we cast, the future, the past,

The laws we break, too slow, too fast,

The highs, the lows, we fell, we rose,

Wi' happiness or woes, we come and we go...

GO! I sing revolution while you're trying to silence me,

My resolution for a life I can lead,

Adversity has become part of my destiny

I'd rather die on my feet, than ever live on my knees.

And all i'm hearing is the news,

The shots, the bombs, the plots,

We separate and divide, the streets, the blocks,

The free, the brave, the dead, the grave,

Everyday combat, the ones you couldn't save,

The scars, the cracks, the science, the facts,

Religion, control, the knife in our backs,

The found, the lost, we pay, the cost,

Genocide inside, we're taken by the cross,

Somebody put this in me, I only wanted to see,

An end to all this hatred, jealously, envy,

The fires, the scrapes, the records, the tapes,

The weak, the strong, the love, the hate,

The sails, the masts, no future, no past,

Abuse we take, too slow, too fast,

The highs, the lows, we fell, we rose,

Wi' happiness or woes, we come and we go...

I sing revolution singing 'Oh, are you hearing me? '

My own solution for a new enemy,

I close your arms, fall on you, lost in this misery,

I'd rather die on my feet, than ever live on my

I'd rather die on my feet, than ever live on my

I'd rather die on my feet, than ever live on my knees.

All pray, judge and leaders

You made us, none believers,

These graves that you leave us, replace your promised freedom

All pray, judge and leaders

You made us none believers,

These graves that you leave us, replace your promised

Freedom. All pray!

Can’t Catch Tomorrow

I'm sure I've seen this look before
Done a thousand times and a million more
How many lies did he tell this time?
How many times did he cross the line?
It won't help me but I have to ask
Is there something real that's behind the mask?
Something true we don't know about?
A little faith in amongst the doubt

And maybe someday you will grow
Maybe someday you will know
Maybe someday you will end these tears and go
A little piece of me grows old
I keep on walking down this road
I've seen a million people change
but I will stay the same

And I know you, (Know you, know you), always steal and borrow
And I know you, (Know you, know you)
Never catch, you're never gonna catch tomorrow

I'm sure I've played this scene before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
I'm sure I used to hold your hand, did I hurt you?
All this attitude with no history
All this anger when you're attacking me
Got a lot to learn and you need to know
That your time is up kid, let it go

Yeah the haircut's hot, but this has gotta stop
Good shoes won't save you this time
I think you're gonna find with everything combined
that the time's running out of this line

And I know you, (Know you, know you)
always steal and borrow
And I know you, (Know you, know you)
Never catch, you're never gonna catch tomorrow!
