Текст песни:

I was that kid sittin over

In the corner,

Smiling with a shit-eating

Grin

And I was that kid smilin in

The back of class

cause Im fryin on mescaline

I was that kid drinkin 40s

On the bleachers

Getting drunk after school

Gettin home too late,

Fallin on my face,

Way too drunk to skate

And actin a fool

I was that kid never doing

Good at

Nothing except for maybe

At p.e.

And I was that kid getting

Bullied by the

Filipinos rollin with abt

Me and my friends reading

The satanic Bible thinking

We should start a band

Cutting class to jam,

Cutting class to jam

In my dads garage we

Learned to

Act a fool - dont need to

Be cool

Pissed off too and

Breaking the rules

Mama told me stay in

School

Dont rock n roll

But this is my american

High

I was that kid that was

Crank-calling

Your girlfriend, couldnt

Get a goddamn date

And I was that kid that was

Getting hella busted for

Pissin on the bart train

I fuckin hated school

Except for hanging out

With my friends, the

Outcast that was

Startin up a band

Fremont was the town,

California-bound,

Bay area sound, taught me

To

Act a fool - dont need to

Be cool

Pissed off too and

Breaking the rules

Mama told me stay in

School

Dont rock n roll

But this is my american

High

Im that kid you tried to

Punk in english class

Now Im in a band and

Youre kissing my...

Asteroids beat out homework

Slayer beat out zeppelin

Not the sharpest noggin

Thats why Im in this band

And what you got against

Me, I dont need a new job

What you got against me,

Ill get by on my own

Tellin me Im never getting

By from my songs

I love it when youre

Proven wrong

Act a fool - dont need to

Be cool

Pissed off too and

Breaking the rules

Mama told me stay in

School

Dont rock n roll

But this is my american

High

Act a fool - dont need to

Be cool

Break the rules

cause this is my american

High.

Текст песни:

Into the battles, making cages rattle

Theres a pain thats inside us and were letting it out

Charge right in, we dare to fail

No one is giving in, always we live to win

A hunger turns and burns inside of all of us

And it will not be denied

Walking a path untraveled to reach higher level

Challenging always going against the grain

Blood for blood - that is the rule

And we will make the rules, never be fortunes fool

Theres right and wrong in almost everything we do

For us we do what is right

Bulldozer feeds upon the weaker as they fall

Bulldozer crushes all

Somebody told me I should do what they told me

But theres a hole in that plan and Im tearing it down

Trust our guts, follow our hearts

No one can break these nuts, these lips aint kissing butts

The path of most resistance tests all of our strength

This strength will not be denied

Bulldozer feeds upon the weaker as they fall

Bulldozer crushes all

Bulldozer feeds upon the weaker as they fall

Bulldozer crushes all

Walking on paths untraveled

Challenging one and all

Deeper into the battles

Alone and standing tall

The more evolving changes

The more we stay the same

Full steam against the odds

Go headfirst against the grain

Full steam we go against the odds

Headfirst we go against the grain

Bulldozer goes against the odds

Bulldozer goes against the grain

Against the odds, against the grain

We go against the odds, against the grain

This is the bulldozer

This is the bulldozer

Текст песни:

She looked right into my

Eyes and said to me

The hurt that you try to

Hide is killing me

You drink a thousand lies,

To freeze the past in time

Ive tried to fill this

Silence up

But now its back again

See the pain in my eyes

See the scars deep inside

My god, Im down in this

Hole again

With the laughter I smile

With the tears that I cry

Keep going down this road

Called life

She says that Im insecure,

I guess shes right

cause just when I think

Im sure, alone at night

The agonies come back, this

Pain wont let me be

I try to fill the silence up

But now its back again

See the pain in my eyes

See the scars deep inside

My god, Im down in this

Hole again

With the laughter I smile

With the tears that I cry

Keep going down this road

Called life

Dont need your sympathy

I just want for this silence

To stop killing me

Its deafening

Its deafening

This silence inside me

I try to fill the silence up

But now its back again

Its empty like a suicide

This pain inside

See the pain in my eyes

See the scars deep inside

My god, Im down in this

Hole again

With the laughter I smile

With the tears that I cry

Keep going down this road

Called life

Dont need your sympathy

I just want for this silence

To stop killing me.

(background)
The shades of night (Descend) X2

Sitting in the empty black
The last slivers of dusk have passed
Accept the dawn to ease the fear
One day I will not be here
Death she comes and with her thread
Upon me ties a mask for dead
Its tears of blood begin to seep
And bleed the sky

The shades of night
DESCEND
Descend the shades of night
Death shines a golden light
Across a Blackened Sky
All our hate is a product of a world...
We created

Ashen clouds obscure my brain
Doubts begin to turn to shame
Insecureness tears at bliss
I hate me for this weakness
Faith drives me to carry on
And take the road less travelled on
Resentment swallowed means to drown
The poison down

The shades of night
DESCEND
Descend the shades of night
Death shines a golden light
Across a Blackened Sky
All our hate is a product of a world...
We created

(SOLO)
Scream with me
Bleed with me
Seethe with me
Sing with me

Scream with me
Bleed with me
Seethe with me
Sing with me

FREE ME, FREE ME, FREE ME

DESCEND

Descend the shades of night (the shades of night)

DESCEND

Death shines a golden light (a golden time Of light)
Across the blackened sky (across a black...)
The shades of night descend
The shades of night descend

(background)
The shades of night (Descend) X3

Текст песни:

Hear me now
Bearing down upon a path we choose
Chosen from the start living different rules
Existence something to cherish true
Will not succumb to doubts that I hold onto
Release the fear of my pain
In so much pain
Give me the will to fight
Every obstacle that I have inside
Release the fear and

Hear me now
Words I vow
No fucking regrets

Fuck these chains
No god damn slave
I will be different

I′ll stand here defiantly
My middle finger raised
Fuck your prejudice

All my life
Always I′ve felt alone
Conditioned to believe that I′m always wrong
Only truth will help to set me free
My every weakness I must turn into strength
Every rage, every tear
Hate in so much hate
Never that pain will bind me
Ask of myself if I′ve the will to unwind
Every rage and tear

Hear me now
Words I vow
No fucking regrets

Fuck these chains
No god damn slave
I will be different

I′ll stand here defiantly
My middle finger raised
Fuck your prejudice

Carved upon my stone
I will go on
Patience, belief
Love will ascend

Just listen to it
Voice so true inside calling
To pick you up and march you on
Keep from falling
Let go your sorrow
Sun will shine, this I promise
Rising tommorow
Rising

Hear me now
I′m taking back the control
Of my
Life from societies hold
I vow
No more will I be a slave
Rise to
Challenge the whole human race

My spirit you cannot break

Текст песни:

Bitterness infested, justice is molested
Govern my contested ways
As a child arrested, as a man detested
Happiness inside my pain

You hate my life
Because you see my strife
Could never understand or try
It makes me mad
Because it makes me sad
But I don′t care why

You fake it, mistake it
Fuck it away
Your lying is trying
My dignity

I see right through your soul
Can′t help but feel this cold
But this city made me so

Life filled with deception, unwanted inception
Want redemption for it all
All my life frustrated, pushed, alienated
Wait for me to take a fall

My faith has waned
Because I feel the strain
In my eyes it′s all gone wrong
We′ll rise above
From this lack of love
It won′t be long now

You fake it, mistake it
Fuck it away
Your lying is trying
My dignity

I see right through your soul
Can′t help but feel this cold
But this city made me so

I′m not the only one
Can′t be the only one

No

Текст песни:

It′s been around for a thousand years
And it′ll be here for plenty more
It is the face hidden in disgrace
That has become now an open sore

It is a false messiah
It is the face of pain
The bringer of the bittersweet
The heretic insane

Take my scars
Through hands of God
I found a better way
To break the walls

Fed all the lies and desensitized
Taught to believe that it is the way
Taught to divide and exactly why
You′ll never understand my rage

You′ve never had to borrow
You′ve never had to steal
You eat it with your silver spoon
For me it′s real

Take my scars
Through hands of God
I found a better way
To break the walls

Blood and concrete
Piss and wine
Whores that fuck
To feel divine

They′ll clean their needles
In their shrine
In ignorance
It′s bliss you find

Why can′t you fuckin′ open
Open up your eyes

@ Machine Head
