"The Anarchist" lyrics
"The Anarchist"
Will there be world enough and time for me to sing that song?
A voice so silent for so long
For all those years I had to get along, they told me I was wrong
I never wanted to belong – I was so strong!
I lack their smiles and their diamonds;
I lack their happiness and love
I envy them for all those things
I never got my fair share of – my fair share of
The lenses inside of me that paint the world black
The pools of poison, the scarlet mist, that spill over into rage
The things I've always been denied
An early promise that somehow died
A missing part of me that grows around me like a cage
A missing part of me that grows around me like a cage
In all your science of the mind, seeking blind through flesh and bone
Find the blood inside this stone
What I know, I've never shown; what I feel, I've always known
I plan my vengeance on my own – and I was always alone
I lack their smiles and their diamonds;
I lack their happiness and love
I envy them for all those things
I never got my fair share of – my fair share of
The lenses inside of me that paint the world black
The pools of poison, the scarlet mist, that spill over into rage
The things I've always been denied
An early promise that somehow died
A missing part of me that grows around me like a cage
A missing part of me that grows around me like a cage
Oh – They tried to get me
Oh – They'll never forget me
The lenses inside of me that paint the world black
The pools of poison, the scarlet mist, that spill over into rage
The things I've always been denied
An early promise that somehow died
A missing part of me that grows around me like a cage
A missing part of me that grows around me like a cage
A missing part of me that grows around me like a cage

Faith No More - "From Out Of Nowhere" Tossed into my mind
Stirring the calm
You splash me with beauty
And pull me down
'Cause you come from out of nowhere
My glance turns to a stare
Obsession rules me
I'm yours from the start
I know...
Chicago - "Feelin' Stronger Every Day" I do believe in you
And I know you believe in me
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
And now we realize
Love's not all that it's supposed to be
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
And knowing that you would have wanted it this way
I do...
Cheap Trick - "Dream Police" The dream police
They live inside in my head
The dream police
They come to me in my bed
The dream police
They're coming to arrest me
Oh no
You know that talk is cheap
And those rumors ain't nice
And...
The Cars - "Good Times Roll" Let the good times roll
Let them knock you around
Let the good times roll
Let them make you a clown
Let them leave you up in the air
Let them brush your rock and roll hair
Let the good times roll...
Twisted Sister - "I Wanna Rock" I wanna rock! (rock)
I wanna rock! (rock)
I want to rock! (rock)
I wanna rock! (rock)
Turn it down you say
But all I got to say to you is time and time again I say, "no!"
No! No, no, no, no, no!...
