Yell the right words.

Straight off the Bedlam CD jacket. Every word from the record lives on this page — read 'em, learn 'em, then come yell them back at us twice as loud.

All
All, take it all, take it all I don't need a thing that you are offering Nothing, no way, this time I will Not mind, in time I will find my way home again I try my best to pretend It's just a means to an end I wanna let it go but I can't Let it go 'cause Nothing at all, I don't need a thing that you are offering Take it and go, I don't need to know, I don't wanna know This time, my mind, focus in time I see the line blurring over and over, over again I try my best to pretend it's just a means to end it I wanna let it go but I can't let it go 'cause Go on now, go on now, go on away
Yesterday
Yesterday has come and gone and I'm still there Holding on to thoughts of you These memories keep running through my mind And when I look back on those days The endless nights, the songs we played I've been thinking 'bout it constantly The day you had to go away Bitter tears and memories are all that I have left to me I've been thinking 'bout it constantly this pain I can't ignore And thinking 'bout when things went wrong, I'll go back and then I'll hear a song that We played a million years ago, when time was standing still And it's killin' me, can't stand to see you go But it's something that is out of my control And things will never be the same Even though you're gone, you'll still remain You will live on in my memory 'Til the day I'm dead and gone And when you let go of what you know It feels just like, like a cyclone Tearing me, tearing me apart And it's killing me, don't wanna see you go But this time it's all but out of my control Breathe in, breathe out, one day at a time Goodbye, my friend, I'll see you in the end
Heart Attack
You wanna come and go, take what you want then you go But it's just a game you play, let's see how far I'm willing to go You want a piece of me, but you already took it all You let me fall, no You wanna smash it up, but you already took it all You let me fall, no Let go of my heart if you don't want it I'll take it back, let go of my heart 'Cause you're ripping it apart a heart attack The worst part of it is I already know what you're about And every part of me is telling me I gotta get out You want it, you take it, you try to bend and break it You're callous, conniving, and you just can't stop lying You want it, you take it, you try to bend and break it You won't stop 'til you have it all Let it go, just let it go, let go of my heart Let it go, just let it go, I'll take it back, I'll take it back
Stand Alone
I stand alone against all of the odds My face is tattered in the wind I will not stand down or back down, no Despite all consequence, alone again A rebel song I sing The road I walk alone, I won't turn back Resolve is running through my veins My will can bend but not break Please don't make the mistake I'll fight and die alone A rebel song I sing Whenever you get too close You just let go I don't let go Let it go, let it go, let it go, won't you
Ragin' Cajun
I'm coming guns a' blazing Just like a ragin cajun Just like there's no tomorrow I'm letting go of sorrow No one, no way, no how I'm never laying down to die You wanna lie to my face You better look me in the eye And I'm coming in locked and loaded Half a drunk and a little bloated Just drop me off at the gates of hell Cause I've had enough and I'm ready to kill Try to hold me down You'll just be wasting your time You wanna get in my head You might not like what you find You're finally fading away (Try to hold me down) Don't you tread on me
Runnin' Dry
Well, it's been a long day, it's been a long week It's been a long month, it's been a long year And lately, the things that I see inside my mind They have never been so clear And I spent a long time just running Turned my back on the world for nothing And I've been running long, I've been running hard But lately I've just been running dry And I've been run long, I've been running hard But lately I've just been running Some of the best times I can't remember Another year gone, another December Time passes by, I'm not gonna lie I can feel it in my heart, you can see it in my eyes It's another year older, another year wiser Another year fatter, but what does it matter? When I got my friends by my side We'll go out every night, we'll come back when we die And I spent a long time just running Turn my back on the world for nothing Some things in my life I took for granted Never will happen again, I am planning Sunday morning's come and gone again It's like it never ends Goes on and on again I will get up in the morning and do it again I get up every morning and do it again I am getting so tired I'm always so tired I am getting so tired I'm so fucking tired Some of the best times I can't remember Another year gone, another December Time passes by, and people move on But never give up, and just keep pushing on I'm moving on Give me a second or two To catch my fucking breath My mind is sailing away There's almost nothing left
All the Way Down
I'm on my way now, I'm on my way I'm on my way now, all the way down I'm on my way now, I'm on my way I'm on my way now, all the way down I got nowhere to go, nowhere I gotta be I got nobody around that I wanna see I'm gonna sit here alone, I think I'll have a drink I got some things on my mind and I need to think It's a beautiful day and I don't have a care Maybe I'll have a few more, maybe I'll fall off my chair Maybe I don't really care about what you gotta say I've got nowhere to go, nowhere I gotta be I've got nobody around me that I wanna see I'm gonna sit here alone, I think I'll have a drink I've got some things on my mind and I need to think It's a beautiful day and I don't have a care Maybe I'll have a few more, maybe I'll fall off my chair Maybe I don't give a fuck about what you gotta say Because we all are on our way now I'm on my way I'm on my way now, all the way down I hit the bottom now, about a year ago I think I'm better now, but I don't really know Sometimes I deal with it, others I turn away And then there are the days that I just fade away But today is a day that wasn't like the rest I lost a friend of mine and he was the best I raise a glass to the sky and then I say your name Because we all are on our way now I'm on my way, I'm on my way now all the way down Come on All the way down, I am all the way down Find a way, I'm gonna find a way I'm gonna find a way now, I will find my Gonna find a way, I'm gonna find a way Gonna find a way, now I will find my It's a beautiful day and I don't have a care Maybe I'll have a few more, maybe I'll fall off my chair Maybe I don't give a fuck about what you gotta say Because we all are on our I'm on my way now, I'm on my way I'm on my way now, all the way down I'm on my way now, I'm on my way I'm on my way now, all the way down All the way down I am all the way down
Nation Full of Zombies
Now they're lining up all one by one And everything's been said and done There's nothing here that's left for you Just cigarettes and wasted booze Stand by watch it all come undone With a nation full of zombies Am I the only one? With the generation gone, there's no reason to hang on So say it's over and just bend over 'Cause you are getting fucked tonight There's no way out of here Tonight, there's no way out of here No need to hold me down, I will not make a sound 'Cause I know there's no way out of here Get it right Now the conversation's over and the facts will leave you sober Because our good friend Red Rover has gone and sent all of the assholes over Where is our sanity? Gone with integrity All systems fail you now Excuse me, this is your Captain speaking Bend over and prepare for impact The cabin's losing pressure and we're going down And there's nobody here screaming, I can't hear a sound No need to hold me down, I will not make a sound 'Cause I know there's no way out of here Get it right
Lights Go Out
Get up and make it through another day Middle class America is fading away You make a little money but you can't get ahead Bills are getting higher, getting over your head Hear the cries and the broken lives Living and dying in the streets of LA Look away, turn away, run away This is not my country The Light go out Try to stand up in a broken nation All around you can see the devastation falling all around The lights go out Not quite dead but fading away Fade away, fade away Hey, the lights go out You get ahead and you get dragged down again In a spin cycle that is set to descend Diggin' in your pockets, better dig a little deeper The cost of livin's high and it's only getting' steeper Can't hear you, can't hear you, can't hear you They cannot fucking hear you The lights go, the lights go, the lights go, the lights go out
Cobb Magee
Hey, it's me, my name is Cobb Magee And I can count to three, but I'd rather not at all You wanna rock, but you don't wanna roll But it's inside my soul and it's tearing you apart You wanna get right one way or another, but it could've been you When it should've been your brother, but I don't really care 'Cause it's outside of my head, and laying left for dead Laying outside in the dark Standing on a mountain, screaming, shouting, dancing in the moonlight 'Til we see the sunlight forever (and ever) We go into the never (never) We dance to the sorrow (sorrow) We drink 'til tomorrow What's next? It's really not complex But I won't take offense when you say you gotta go You wanna rock, but you don't wanna roll But it's inside your soul and it's tearing you apart
American Demise
You say it's all for nothing You turn your back and walk away Try to ignore a problem But there's nothing going away You're gonna see it all fall down You'll never make a sound The water's rising all around It's gonna bring you down You wanna justify You say it's going away Try to identify With all the ones who obey Let it go, walk away It's all in your head And everything you thought you know Was not what they said You watch the world fall down in front of you It's right before your eyes This is American Demise
Ignition
There is bedlam inside Telling me what to think and what to believe in And the voices now they're calling out to me The chaos keeps on getting louder now And they won't let me be And the voices they call I can't take it any longer And my back's against the wall, no And the madness, it just will not go away The chaos keeps on getting louder Think it's here to stay And it won't let me go No won't let me go It gets inside, I start to lose my mind and That's when I let it go away Ignition Just turn the switch on and just let it go Let it slip away
You Take the Pain
I remember first time I saw you I could see trouble just coming my way It's not what you do, not what you say It's not anything It's in the way you're looking at me You take the pain right away from me You take the words right out of my mouth But I see it in your eyes You got that fire that could burn me alive It's in your kiss, so poisonous just like heroin But still it takes all of my pain away But I know I can't deny you No matter how hard I try to I will throw caution to the wind And I just I give in No, I just I give in You take the pain away Take it away from me
I'm Alright
The road keeps calling but I'm trying to stay I've already been down that cold highway The road keeps calling and I wanna go I've already been there and it left me cold I'll say that I'm alright And I'll say that I'm alright Forever I've been on a quest for gold It left me broken and tattered and all alone The lessons I've learned will stay with me I may be blinded now but I can see I'll say that I'm alright And I'll say that I'm alright But it's just another lie To make me feel like I'm alive The road not taken's one that goes unknown If I regret it later, I'll let you know
