YESTERDAY'S NEWS

Don't wanna be yesterday's news
Don't wanna be buried
In the fine print on the back of page two
I'm sick and tired of losing time after time
We ain't no Sid and Nancy babe, and this ain't no 1979

Oh it's coming for you
Yesterday's news
Oh it's coming for you
Yesterday's news

Don't wanna be dancing round the truth
There ain't nothing you're pushing
That'll satisfy my fix like saying no to you
I'm sick and tired of drinking your bitch ass brew
We ain't no Ronnie and Nancy babe, and this ain't no 1982

Oh it's coming for you
Yesterday's news
Oh it's coming for you
Yesterday's news

You say you ain't got time for me
Well tell me what we're fighting for
We ain't no Tanya and Nancy babe, and this ain't no 1994

Oh it's coming for you
Yesterday's news
Oh it's coming for you
Oh yeah it's gonna bring you down when you're down on the street
And when you're gunning for your life, and you're down on your knees
Yeah well it's coming oh no no
Oh it's coming for you

HIGH TIME

Time started moving faster
I was headed for disaster
Too little reflection, too many lines
Like nothing would get past us
And nothing would outlast us

Seen the old ghosts in the towns and stations
Stationary dies with frustration and patience
Crossing the lines between my situation
What's the price to pay for some new information?
What's the bottom line?

Angel on my left
Devil on my right
I don't know where we're going
But we'll get there tonight

Diamonds in the rough
Diamonds in the sky
It's high time we arrive

I don't wanna live forever
I know I could do much better
I seen the truth turn into lies
Like magic before my eyes

And even if the world is gonna turn on me
It's been turning since the beginning of history
I believe in the need of the mystery
I'll buy the ticket and pay the ride
What's the bottom line?

Angel on my left
Devil on my right
I don't know where we're going
But we'll get there tonight

Diamonds in the rough
Diamonds in the sky
It's high time we arrive

Angel on my left
Devil on my right
I don't know where we're going
But we'll get there tonight

Diamonds in the rough
Diamonds in the sky
It's high time we arrive

Angel on my left
Devil on my right
I don't know where we're going
But we'll get there tonight

Diamonds in the rough
Diamonds in the sky
It's high time we arrive

IT IS WHAT IT IS

I never dreamed I'd love someone like you
All the wicked little things you made me do
I'd be a fool to believe you ain't what I need
But you won't find me back down on my knees

No I never, I never thought that you would be the one
No I never, I'll never forgive the things you've done
You said it is what it is, but that ain't enough
It is what it is, guess I ain't what you imagined

No stars in the sky, but I'm out tonight
No whispered words, no long goodbyes
I never dreamed I'd ever lose someone like you

No I never, I never thought that you would be the one
No I never, I'll never forgive the things you've done
You said it is what it is, but that ain't enough
It is what it is, guess I ain't what you imagined

But is this the end you were dreaming of?

No I never, I never thought that you would be the one
No I never, I'll never forgive the things you've done
You said it is what it is, but that ain't enough
It is what it is, guess I ain't what you imagined

21st CENTURY AMERICAN MAN

Turn on the TV
LA is burning
They say there's nothing to see
24 hour
Media darlings
Poison the water we drink

Everyone's shouting into the darkness
All I hear are echoes of me
Do I unplug, give up the drug
Go out and set myself free?

I do not choose to be a common man
I do not choose to be a common man
21st century American man

I do not choose to be a common man
I do not choose to be a common man

Beautiful people
Up in their castles
High above tent city

Planning their pipelines
Fracturing fault lines
They say there's nothing to see

Everyone's shouting into the darkness
I don't know what to believe
Turn on the TV
LA is burning
They say there's nothing, nothing to see here
No no no no

I do not choose
I do not choose to be a common man
I do not choose to be a common man
I do not choose to be a common man
I do not choose to be a common man
21st century
21st century
21st century American man

NOVEMBER RAIN

When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same

Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain

We've been through this such a long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain
But lovers always come and lovers always go
And no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away
If we could take the time to lay it on the line
I could rest my head just knowin' that you were mine
All mine

So if you wanna love me
Then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain

Do you need some time on your own
Do you need some time all alone
Everybody needs some time on their own
Don't you know you need some time all alone

I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you?

Sometimes I need some time on my own
Sometimes I need some time all alone
Everybody needs some time on their own
Don't you know you need some time all alone

And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame

So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain
