EYETUNES LYRICS
I'M TIRED OF LISTENING
I'm tired of listening to all the things they say
The time is now for me to turn away
I'm tired of listening to all of their advice
Cause deep inside, I know they're not so nice
They lie to me about the things they do
They criticize, and say they know what's true
They point the way to riches and to fame
It's time to turn, stop playing in their game
bridge 1
All my life, they've done everything for me
but now I'm on my own
Yesterday, they made decisions for me
but now I'm all alone
They say the world will gladly take you in
But now it looks like just one big den of sin
The road to riches is full of greed and hate
I'm turning off, before it gets too late
bridge 2
There's another road, and it's sometimes hard to see
and I walk it all alone
Yes I'm trying now to see the truth in the mystery
and the answer is unknown
Growing up, it's hard to know what's true
with all your elders throwing lies at you
Now I'm older, I don't hear what they say
but still I stumble, I've got to find the way
ALL AROUND US
Disease and war, killing us one by one
If "the bomb" don't hit you, cancer will strike you down
People starving, so much damage is done
When will it end? Is there hope to be found?
Ignorance in hearts of the young
Turning the other way
Lies that are told by all our leaders
Trying to lead us all astray
Murder and hate, poison throughout the land
So much corruption everywhere you look
Political leaders meeting all the demand
For lies and cheating, expect us to trust a crook
Spiritually blind eyes they can't see
All of the wrong that's done
Ears that don't hear the cry of the soul
When will the war be won?
bridge
All around us, can you not hear?
A sacred voice is calling
Don't turn away, listen you'll hear
Trying to reach us all
ROT IN 7734
inspired by the lunatic at www.jesus-is-savior.com
chorus
You're gonna rot in hell, burn in the fire
You're gonna rot in hell, for eternity
I'm gonna watch you burn, while the flame goes higher
You're gonna burn in hell, for eternity
verse 1
the gates of heaven are closed to drunkards
they're closed to murderers, adulterers and thieves
fornicators, liars, law breakers, pornographers
the take the river Styx to Hades, please!
verse 2
no matter what you're hopin'
the door to Paradise won't open
for atheists, agnostics, Buddhists, Hindus
free thinkers, Taoists, Muslims, Jews
(repeat chorus)
verse 3
there's no eternal reward for Catholics
Methodists, Adventists, Episcopalians, too
Presbyterians, Baptists, no Latter Day Saints
Jehovah's Witnesses, it's all doom and gloom
verse 4
all the Democrats are gonna burn in hell
all Republicans, members of the GOP
the blacks, the whites, the young and the old
the rich, the poor, the timid and the bold
(spoken) to lay with mankind as you do with womankind
is an abomination in the eyes of the Lord
the filth of the world, it's in your heart and mind
now you're gonna die, you're gonna die by the sword
death to all who would try to defeat us
don't try to stop us from doing God's will
we're here to defend the life of the fetus
we protect unborn life, even if we have to kill!
there's no room for dissent from our views
we've got a message and an agenda to sell
spread the gospel, share the Good News
God loves you, so He's sending you to hell!
I preach against evil, am I a man you can trust? my heart is hateful, and my mind is full of lust while I'm spreading my gospel of hate I lie, I cheat, and I also fornicate I abuse my children, and I beat my wife I'm living a selfish and sinful life I hate in you, what I see in myself so I condemn you to eternity in hell TV Preachers do you believe that book you push? TV Preachers, or do you just use it to get some tush? Little boy thinks he's safe with the priest Little later find's virginity's deceased TV Preachers do you believe that book you push? Jim Baker, shut up and sit down God don't need you to get His word around Don't you realize how dumb you make Him look? You provide one more reason for people not to look and see what He can really do for them Instead of drawing them closer you're pushing them away TV Preachers want me to build your empire Send my donations to keep my soul from the fire Feed the children, build the people homes Right off the top comes your crystal domes TV Preachers keep your own soul out of the fire Oral Roberts, beggin' from his prayer tower "Give me money, or else I'll die on the hour" If we're lucky, God'll do us a favor One less man, livin' off the Savior Too much looking at the man of God Instead of the God of man ANOTHER WORLD Powerful members of the human race Busy traveling through outer space Searching for other worlds they hope to see But there's another world that they can't see Scientists looking for some life out there Ignore a world of which they're unaware A world that has, and will always be Yes there's another world that they can't see chorus Somebody came to us from another world And walked the righteous way But we didn't follow on that path Now in the dust we lay guitar solo There is a war that's being fought And there are too many lies being taught The people don't know which way to turn There's so much wrong that we must unlearn chorus Somebody came to us to save our souls And walked the righteous way But we didn't follow on that path How can we turn away? If we just listen, we'll hear the voice It's up to us to make the choice Oh can you see, the wrong from right In the darkness, can you see the light? MAKING DREAMS REALITY Sittin' 'round, really got nothin' to do Layin' 'round, in bed I'm feelin' blue Ostracized, from people outside Criticized, so in here I hide Is this real? or make believe? What's happening inside of me? Can't believe such a change I feel Making dreams become what's real All the hurt, it can't help but show All the pain, seems to grow and grow Jealousy, deep within a heart Can't you see, tearin' us apart Something real, I can't explain Is washing all the hurt away Can't believe, such a change I feel Making dreams, become what's real ooh, ooh, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh guitar solo Something real, I can't explain Is washing all the hurt away Can't believe such a change I feel Making dreams become what's real ooh, ooh, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh THIS IS THE LOVE All the others let me down I can never be what they want me to be Heartaches always seem to come around I just can't keep them away from me But now I realize there's no one else for me I always find myself alone with you CHORUS This is the love I was always searching for This is the love I will share forevermore All their hatred breaks my heart They blind themselves to what is real And though it tears me all apart I can't deny this love I feel Cause now I know there's no one else for me The love I have is just for you (repeat chorus twice) Something beautiful has happened to me Something beautiful, just you and me (repeat chorus twice) CONCRETE WILDERNESS Somethin' happened just the other day and I decided just to get away and take a drive through the countryside Walk through valleys, meadows and streams roll through fields, get lost in dreams enjoy the simple things that I've been denied but when I got to that country town all the trees had been cut down and all I could see for miles around Traffic lights, parking lots, neon signs Gridlocked traffic, up and down the road Service stations, espresso stands, where to dine Smashed up car, waiting to be towed Red Box, Starbucks, Subway and Safeway Strip malls, covering every piece of land Jiffy Lube, O'Reilly's, Walgreen's and Rite Aid Overdevelopment has gotten out of hand Just piles of concrete, where there should be trees There should be flowers, and the falling leaves Not an urban jungle, so commercialized It's a smoggy eyesore, but it was paradise I don't want to drive Route 410 Just bring back my home again Bring back flowers, hills and trees Let me feel the cool summer breeze WALL OF SILENCE Talk to him, talk to her, talk to everybody about it About the problems you had with me, talk about it with everyone except me Tell it to your mother, tell it to your brother, tell it to your best friends casually Tell it to your neighbors, tell it to your mailman, talk about it with everyone except me Put up a wall between you and me, but it won't make things better Build a wall of silence You're so smart, you're so cute, you're so understanding and grateful You're the one who has all the loot, you're so undemanding and hateful Living in confusion, living life's illusion, living how you think you got to be Deny what's in your heart, it's tearing us apart, leaving pain inside the heart of me I know that we should all be free, got to make life better Break this wall of silence, tear it down! VACANCY You used to be so close to me Now we're both so far apart It's not the way it used to be I don't know what's kept us apart Did we just meet by accident Or was it something meant to be A mis-match of temperament Or love to last eternally? Somebody new is in your arms This time you say it's gonna last He's really fallen for your charms Now you can forget the past But still I sense an emptiness inside Something missing in your life And try your best, but you can't hide chorus Vacancy, it's empty in your heart Empty cause the feeling isn't there Vacancy, it's time for you to start To open up, it's time for you to care I used to be so close to you Now I'm lonely everyday Is there a chance of getting through? I'm trying hard to find a way A subtle lie has separated you From the one you loved so true But I can't tell you what to do (repeat chorus 2x) TOO MUCH HATRED I'd really like to live a peaceful life See people really try to get along Instead of always fighting with each other Turn away, ignoring all the wrong (chorus) Too much hatred, too much sin Ruling all the world So much violence, I can't stand it Ruling all the world People showing no consideration Taking every opportunity Spreading dirty lies across our nation Spit into your face until you see (repeat chorus twice) (bridge) I tried to talk with you today But you just cursed at me and ran Why can't we listen to each other? Is this the way, what is the plan? People want to cut each other down It's always fun to see somebody hurt People just-a crawlin' on the ground Because it's so much fun to dig up dirt (repeat chorus twice) (guitar solo) (repeat third verse) (repeat chorus twice) JUST A MEMORY I remember funny things we used to do I remember all the things I did with you I remember places where we used to go I remember thinking you would never go All the memories are so clear Some things just never seem to fade Sometimes it seems like you are here And I could swear that you stayed (chorus) But you're not here, it's just a memory Coming back to cloud my way No you're not here, it's just a memory Coming back to cloud my day I remember all the things we used to say Promises that we both made to never stray Holding you brought comfort to an aching heart Peacefulness when you said we would never part All these memories stay so clear I know that they're never gonna fade It almost feels like you are here Yes that's what I've always prayed (repeat chorus) All these memories stay so clear I know that they're never gonna fade And they're running my life I fear Oh, that's the price that I've paid (chorus) Cause you're not here, you're just a memory Coming back to cloud my way No you're not here, you're just a memory Coming back to cloud my day
