Secrets 03:46
Rich girl, poor girl, beggar, thief You can't stay no more The Madonna's no retreat When you play the whore Every single word you spoke Was only a disguise Wonder how you never choked On your lies Your lies Your lies (Who are you?) There is something running wild That we all hide behind a smile And show it off when it's in style Truth lies deep within All I want to do is weep But I can't cry no more Only peace is when I sleep But I walk out that door I cried out, no hiding place From all this pain inside But if I should show my face There's no sign No sign No sign (Who am I?) There is something running wild That we all hide behind a smile And show it off when it's in style Truth lies deep within Lost more than I had to lose I can't take no more Bury me right next to you Rejoin what was torn I was counting down the days Praying I would die But I went another way I'm still alive Still alive Still alive (You did it) There is something running wild That we all hide behind a smile And show it off when it's in style Truth lies deep within

Nothing Free 02:28
One, two Try and fake it Act like you'll succeed Three, four 'Till you make it Lather, rinse, then repeat One, two Back to basics Gotta get 'em right Three, four Better face it Won't do it overnight Keep the prize within your sight And it's one, two Nothing free Life don't give charity Kung fu You achieve Are you willing to sweat and bleed? Come on! One, two Win the battle Then you fight some more Three, four, In the saddle This is life And life is war One, two Here's to fighters Who never quit Three, four, What's inside us Tell me, can you handle it? Defeat won't break our spirit And it's one, two Nothing free Life don't give charity Kung fu You achieve Are you willing to sweat and bleed? One, two 'Till you learn Each mistake must be earned Come through Then return Are you willing to crash and burn? If so, I commend you Those who dare will fly If not, I condemn you Those who hug the ground don't touch the sky

All About Me 03:51
I wrote this song But you don't care All you wanna do is gawk and stare Yeah, but it's all right I really sing But you just scoff Watch my videos with the sound turned off Yeah, but it's all right Everybody thinks they're my best friend That's the price you pay for fame But we all get what we want in the end You know I love to play the game Hey, come take a look You know that you want it and I want it too Hey, come take a look You know it's all about me Hey, come take a peek My fans wanna know how I look this week Hey, come take a peek They gotta know about me Paparazzi shove cameras in my face Everywhere I go, every single place Yeah, but it's all right I change identities like you change clothes Who am I today, I'm not sure I know Yeah, but it's all right Everybody thinks they're my best friend That's the price you pay for fame But we all get what we want in the end You know I love to play the game Hey, come take a look You know that you want it and I want it too Hey, come take a look You know it's all about me Hey, come catch a glimpse You think I'm a whore although I act the pimp Hey, come catch a glimpse You know it's all about me I know that you're using me But do you know I'm using you? Yeah, it's getting so confused Who's using who?

You took what you needed, and left the rest All of us stunned, yeah, we never guessed Say what, ask why, know who Threw one man out 'cause he dared to disagree Threw another man out for his honesty And so I'm leaving too Now I've got two paths to choose And one is far away The other can't teach what I need to learn But far away is really so much closer than I thought I'm having way too much fun to return Said ooh, woah, Something in this place and I did not know How good, how good it could get Said ooh, woah Everything in time and the time must go You ain't seen nothing yet Parted ways, and I'm never looking back I'm not gonna rise up to your attack It's just not worth my time [What's done is done And I cannot undo I just have to learn and move on] I know I did you wrong, and I apologized But I can't believe you believed the lies You finally crossed the line [What's won is won But I think that you lose The good times we had are now gone] It's funny how I thought without you I'd be in the dark [Like death or night] When in fact it's never been so bright [As bright as day] You're the one who needs a clue You're so far off the mark [But go in peace] It's a wonder you can't see the light [I forgive you] Said ooh, woah, Something in this place and I did not know How good, how good it could get Said ooh, woah Everything in time and the time must go You ain't seen nothing yet Ooh, woah, Something in this place and I did not know How good, how good it could get Said ooh, woah Everything in time and the time must go [All in its time and the time never knows] You ain't seen nothing yet You ain't seen nothing yet You better, yeah, you bet

I was looking for a little romance Wondering if any girl would take a chance Met her down by the ice cream stand I went up and took her by the hand I told her I was going to be a big rock star At first she laughed, but then I whipped out my guitar And it's around and round and round and round she goes Swaying to the music everybody knows Around and round and round and round she spins When she's dancing, everybody wins Eating her ice cream, licking her lips Rocky Road was never quite like this Cutoff shorts, oh my god, so tight She asked if I wanted to see her tonight I peeled off her clothes and threw them on the floor I boldly went where I had never gone before And it's around and round and round and round we go Swaying to the music everybody knows Around and round and round and round we spin When we're moving, both of us win And now I'm a big star Just like I said So many girls since then But she's the only one I can't forget And it's around and round and round and round she goes Swaying to the music everybody knows Around and round and round and round she spins When she's dancing, everybody wins Around and round and round and round she twists Never felt anything as good as this Around and round and round and round she twirls I'll do anything to find that girl

Go For It 03:33
Only nineteen Got big dreams To be just like me in a year Reach for the skies But don't you realize How much work it took to get here At first I thought Just another kid who's young and dumb But now I see No one's ever told you it can't be done Don't let them grind you down Don't you ever quit You can do it all if you just go for it In the black Never looked back You came, you saw, you conquered indeed Dropped out of school But you were no fool You picked up everything that you'd need You had a dream And you brought us all along for the ride You changed the world But you never would if you'd never tried Don't let them grind you down Don't you ever quit You can do it all if you just go for it You pushed yourself to be better You pushed yourself to be best You were never meant to be like the rest No, no, no Don't let them grind you down Don't you ever quit You can do it all if you just go for it

Frozen in the snow Forgotten 'till We came along Let, let it be new Let it be fresh Let it be strong Fell, it fell to earth Consumed its own And so it bloomed We, we are the light We are the spark We are the fuse Even if the world should fall apart I promise never to break your heart Love begins With just one little spark If you heard me speak In any tongue In any voice If I had no love Then all my words Would just be noise If I knew it all I saw the future As clear as day But I had no love Then all my gifts Would go to waste Even if the world should fall apart [Forget the world] I promise never to break your heart [I just want you] Love begins With just one little spark Rise, oh will you rise Rise up my love And come with me Rain, the rain is gone The flowers bloom The birds will sing Floods, they cannot drown They cannot quench What we have made Strong, as strong as death A blazing fire Fierce as the grave Even if the world should fall apart [Forget the world] I promise never to break your heart [I just want you] Love begins With just one little spark Even if the whole damn world should fall apart [Forget the world] Nothing could ever make me break your heart [I just want you] Thank G-d For that one little spark

Got a gig on Friday And we're feeling pretty psyched Everybody's ready Gonna crank it up that night Load our gear in our cars And prepare to make the drive The amps will break our backs But that's the price of playing live Got some tunes we must have played A hundred times or more Got some tunes we just learned And we've never played before But every song we play Is sounding better than the last We've all put in the practice Now we're gonna kick some ass! We all love making music And we all love getting paid But it's not the love of money Gets us up here on the stage We all came to play the music And we're never gonna stop We're not in it for the money, no We're in it for the rock Groovy Audience is feeling loose And we're all playing tight Every note is perfect Everything just feels right Gonna play a slow song Just to have a change of pace Then we'll play a fast one And we're gonna rock the place Had a drink before the show And now we're all relaxed We'll have one more after And a few more after that This bar don't pay us nothing But we love it, there's no doubt 'Cause when the show is over Every drink is on the house We all love making music And we all love getting paid But it's not the love of money Gets us up here on the stage We all came to play the music And we're never gonna stop We're not in it for the money, no We're in it for the rock Groovy Everybody's gotta groove Everyone get up Get up and move! Now the bassist's got the rhythm And the drummer's got the beat The guitarists both are grooving And the crowd is on their feet Yeah, the singer's looking foxy And the boys are all in black We're the ones that rock the hardest And we're bringing bitchin' back! Roadies tune our guitars Manager to book our gigs We're really going somewhere Yeah, we're gonna hit it big Once we're rich and famous We'll remember all you guys Feel free to text us And we might even reply We all love making music And we all love getting paid But it's not the love of money Gets us up here on the stage We all came to play the music And we're never gonna stop We're not in it for the money, no We're in it for the rock!

It was a long time ago I kept watch on the tower I did not know Neither the day nor hour A still, small voice There was no one to hear me I had no choice I waited, watching, weary So hard to see When you don't know that you're blinded I can't believe Somehow I never minded On the king's road You came down from the mountain Was it foretold I had no cause to doubt it I can't forget that night All I earned since then I earned in spite Never for a second was contrite My thoughts and feelings still churn And I still burn It was a long time ago My pulse began to quicken How could I know The victor from the victim You called to me And offered me your service I set you free I need no servants Ground covered in snow You led me to the water That's where I showed I am the moonlight's daughter I won the day But you refused to bless me I knelt to pray Knew not who I was wrestling I won't forget that night The last time my world was in black and white Now the colors stand out oh so bright Watching them glow as they turn See how they burn It was a long time ago When I was unforgiving/unforgiven I tried to throw Away what I was given Lit up the sky The flames were like a flower I fled on high In the shadow of no tower Back at that place The tower long since crumbled Among the waste I saw just where I'd stumbled I wear the crown Its burden weighs so heavy Dragging me down Yet somehow I was ready I never forgot that night Knowing wrong has taught me what is right Just one spark can set the world alight Sometimes you just have to learn You're all going to burn You're all going to burn You're all going to burn
