Verse 1: The air is thick tonight Something gleams in your eye Child, we're meant for more than this It comes as no surprise The greatest crooks live the life You've only seen in dreams I'll find my place among them Treat you like a queen. Can't stop me; I'm on a roll Everything that I touch Eventually turns to gold Just you sit back and watch I'll tell them the earth is flat Just to make our pockets fat Don't worry Just rest for now Under the great ole tree Chorus: Under the great ole tree now Watch now It's all about the risk I'll tear this world apart to cover you with' Diamonds and bliss And the bloodshed won't stop 'til You're in the lap of luxury Just rest for now Underneath the great ole tree Verse 2: Papa got himself a plan And he keeps you in mind Men will die so may be dressed in all that is refined When you snap your finger, the sun better start to shine And bathe in radiant light All that is yours and mine Well it's been a long long run Enemies wait in line I've been the ferocious dog You could always hide behind 'Til the slugs come cut me down Just hug me for a while Today I die with rich memories Of your mischievous smile Chorus Hey now, it's all about the risk Chorus

I've seen you up wide awake at night No sleep again; your demons won the fight Fears of broken dignity fills your dreams Safety is the drug and you, the fiend Every sound, every stare is a sign You've been living on borrowed time The enemy's everywhere but nowhere in sight Behind every door In your mind (x2)   Yearning for freedom is a gift you hold A dream of flight embedded deep in your soul When the ground swallows you whole It finds you warm and it leaves you cold Give me a stage, and I will amaze Send you flying off into space My gift is natural; I'm here to stay I'm here to stay In your mind (x2)

Verse: Say you, Don't you feel you're missing something Say you, How about we take off for a while and then Once you're up and about and off to a start, You move around like your home is in the stars Leave the daily humdrums behind That paralyze the mind Hey Chorus 1: Wouldn't it be such a life? Pack your bags and travel light Let's pick up where the common man resigns See the world 'cause we all run out of time There's no better way to run the clock If it makes you feel alive Say Say Say Verse repeats Chorus 2: Wouldn't it be such a life? Pack your bags and travel light Seen enough of the foreign continents There's a sky to which I must make amends Take my hand and we'll make it there Beyond the stratosphere We are Lifelong tourists Lifelong Tourists Say you Say you

You got the whole world aroung your fingertips Tied in a knot I bet you never thought You could find yourself in this spot I'm not a chasing man But if you feel bold Give it a shot Or stay strong and proud And watch another get what you could've got Chorus (x2): You wanna touch the sky You wanna catch a star You better come to me If you know what's good for you If you know what's good for you Every minute, every day Another sucker is born A woman's love will break his life Break his life like a storm As for me I've been blessed with Sharp instincts you should know You think I've come to sweep you off your feet Honey, I don't think so Chorus (x2) If you know what's good for you If you know what's good for you If you know what's good for you If you know what's good for you

На утлой лодочке надежды Плыву на свет большого маяка. Все, как и было, как и прежде, - Впадает в море синяя река. По океану разочарований Ищу обломки старых кораблей, Обломки бригов без названий, Осколки счастья, - и друзей... На утлой лодочке надежды Плыву туда, где, верно, ждут меня, Все, как и было, как и прежде, - Спешу на встречу солнечного дня. На утлой лодочке надежды Переплыву я океан, Назло завистникам-невеждам Концы я берегу отдам.

It's hot; this gasmask smells I got 75 lbs on my back My feet are starting to scab It's only been 17 weeks My best friend's Betty She's 7 lbs 8 ounces Loves be get squeezed at insurgents My nerves are reaching the breaking point I run a small crew A rogue unit that's basically explosive Because rules don't apply To Betty and I Chorus: Got war on my mind It's all I can find Compassion and regards Are of no use to me Give no charity Break and crush the weak She is my partner in crime I put my arms around her all the time Betty's full from the head to the toe She's the reason I survive One night, she was out of my sight I had to use an anaconda knife It wasn't divorce Just a change in routine Now Betty's back with me Sleeping on my left I have dreams of her Being truly automatic Shooting hollow tips at warm flesh Chorus we are one Part machine part flesh one hundred percent fire This death machine is but a limb Connecting lead with future corpses Her body is my own Her mechanism fused to my nervous system Breathe her powder for serenity It's Betty and I Betty and I Betty and I Betty and I

All aboard! (x4) Ding bang dong Diddly dang 'tis the song 'Tis the tickety tickety sound Of credibility going and gone Who can resist the urge To be lectured by a buffoon Who learned about struggle and hardship From the comfort of a classroom Speak out of turn, but you ought to know I am the semaphore Speak of defeat, speak of the poor The same as before Nothing changes, nothing moves History's a whore You oughta, you oughta know History history don't come cheap (x5) Clikety click tickety tick Things can change in the flick of a dick The quick survive; the thick will thrive The rest will have to wither and die The lie is dealt from bottom to top If you're up for the game, it's a skip and a hop But if you're not, your life is a flop Unless you claw your way to the top! Speak out of turn, but you ought to know I am the semaphore Speak of defeat, speak of the poor The same as before Nothing changes, nothing moves History's a whore You oughta, you oughta know History history don't come cheap (x5)
