Use Your Illusion II

I try and feel the sunshine, you bring the rain
You try and hold me down with your complaints
You cry and moan and complain, you whine an tear
Up to my neck in sorrow, the touch you bring
You just don't step inside to, to 14 years
So hard to keep my own head, that's what I say
And you know, I've been the beggar, I've played the thief
I was the dog, they all tried to beat

But it's been 14 years of silence
It's been 14 years of pain
It's been 14 years that are gone forever
And I'll never have again

Your stupid girlfriends tell you that I'm to blame
Well they're all used-up has-beens, out of the game
This time I'll have the last word, you hear what I say
I tried to see it your way, it won't work today
You just don't step inside to 14 years
So hard to keep my own head, that's what I say
You know, I've been the dealer, hangin' on your street
I was the dog, they all tried to beat

But it's been 14 years of silence
It's been 14 years of pain
It's been 14 years that are gone forever
And I'll never have again

Bullshit and contemplation, gossip's their trade
If they knew half the real truth, what would they say
Well I'm past the point of concern, it's time to play
These last 4 years of madness sure put me straight
Don't get back 14 years in just one day
So hard to keep my own head, just go away
You know, just like a hooker she said nothin's for free
Oh I tried to see it your way, I tried to see it your way

When you're talkin to yourself and nobody's home
You can fool yourself you came in this world alone, alone

So nobody ever told you baby how it was gonna be
So what'll happen to you baby, guess we'll have to wait and see
One, two

Old at heart but I'm only 28
And I'm much too young to let love break my heart
Young at heart but it's getting much too late
To find ourselves so far apart

I don't know how you're s'posed to find me lately
And what more could you ask from me
How could you say that I never needed you
When you took everything, said you took everything from me

Young at heart and it gets so hard to wait
When no one, I know can seem to help me now
Old at heart but I musn't hesitate
If I'm to find my own way out

Still talkin' to myself and nobody's home, alone

So nobody ever told us baby how it was gonna be
So what'll happen to us baby, guess we'll have to wait and see

When I find out all the reasons, maybe I'll find another way
Find another day
With all the changing seasons of my life, maybe I'll get it right next time
And now that you've been broken down, got your head out of the clouds
You're back down on the ground and you don't talk so loud
An you don't walk so proud anymore, and what for

Well I jumped into the river too many times to make it home
I'm out here on my own and drifting all alone
If it doesn't show, give it time to read between the lines
'Cause I see the storm getting closer and the waves they get so high
Seems everything we've ever known's here
Why must it drift away and die

I'll never find anyone to replace you
Guess I'll have to make it thru, this time, oh this time
Without you

I knew the storm was getting closer and all my friends said I was high
But everything we've ever known's here, I never wanted it to die

How could she look so fine
How could it be she might be mine
How could she be so cool
I've been taken for a fool so many times
It's a story of a man who works as hard as he can
Just to be a man who stands on his own
But the book always burns as the story takes it turn
And leaves a broken man

How could she be so cool
How could she be so fine
I owe a favor to a friend
My friends they always come through for me, yeah
It's a story of a man who works as hard as he can
Just to be a man who stands on his own
But the book always burns as the story takes it turn
And leaves a broken man
If you could only live my life
You could see the difference you make to me, to me

I'd look right up at night and all I'd see was darkness
Now I see the stars alright, I wanna reach right up and grab one for you
When the lights went down in your house, yeah that made me happy
The sweat I make for you, yeah, I think you know where that comes from

Well I'd look right up at night and all I'd see was darkness
Now I see the stars alright, I wanna reach right up and grab one for you
When the lights went down in your house, yeah that made me happy
The sweat I make for you, I think you know where that comes from

How could she look so good, so good
How could she be so fine
How could she be so cool
How could it be she might be mine

"What we've got here is failure to communicate
Some men you just can't reach
So, you get what we had here last week
Which is the way he wants it!
Well, he gets it!
I don't like it any more than you men."

Look at your young men fighting
Look at your women crying
Look at your young men dying
The way they've always done before

Look at the hate we're breeding
Look at the fear we're feeding
Look at the lives we're leading
The way we've always done before

My hands are tied
The billions shift from side to side
And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
For the love of God and our human rights
And all these things are swept aside
By bloody hands time can't deny
And are washed away by your genocide
And history hides the lies of our civil wars

D'you wear a black armband when they shot the man
Who said "Peace could last forever"
And in my first memories they shot Kennedy
I went numb when I learned to see
So I never fell for Vietnam
We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all
That you can't trust freedom when it's not in your hands
When everybody's fightin' for their promised land

And I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store, ain't that fresh
I don't need your civil war

Look at the shoes your filling
Look at the blood we're spilling
Look at the world we're killing
The way we've always done before
Look in the doubt we've wallowed
Look at the leaders we've followed
Look at the lies we've swallowed
And I don't want to hear no more

My hands are tied
For all I've seen has changed my mind
But still the wars go on as the years go by
With no love of God or human rights
'Cause all these dreams are swept aside
By bloody hands of the hypnotized
Who carry the cross of homicide
And history bears the scars of our civil wars

"We practice selective annihilation of mayors and government officials
from example to create a vacuum then we fill that vacuum
as popular war advances peace is closer"

I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store, ain't that fresh
And I don't need your civil war, no, no, no
I don't need your civil war
I don't need your civil war
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store, ain't that fresh
I don't need your civil war
I don't need one more war
I don't need one more war

Whaz so civil 'bout war anyway

Gonna find a way to cure this loneliness
Yeah I'll find a way to cure the pain
If I said that you're my friend and our love would never end
How long before I had your trust again
I opened up the doors when it was cold outside
Hopin' that you'd find your own way in
But how can I protect you or try not to neglect you
When you won't take the love I have to give

I bought me an illusion and I put it on the wall
I let it fill my head with dreams and I had to have them all
But oh the taste is never so sweet as what you'd believe it is
Well I guess it never is
I's these prejudiced illusions that pump the blood to the heart of the biz

You know I never thought that it could take so long
You know I never knew how to be strong
Yeah, I let you shape me but I feel as though you raped me
'Cause you climbed inside my world and in my songs
So now I've closed the door to keep the cold outside
Seems somehow I've found the will to live
But how can I forget you or try not to reject you
When we both know it takes time to forgive

Sweetness is a virtue and you lost your virtue long ago
You know I'd like to hurt you but my conscience always tells me no
You could sell your body on the street to anyone whom you might meet
Who'd love to try and get inside and bust your innocence open wide

'Cause my baby's got a locomotive, my baby's gone off the track
My baby's got a locomotive got ta peel the bitch off my back
I know it looks like I'm insane, take a closer look I'm not to blame, no

Gonna have some fun with my frustration
Gonna watch the big screen in my head
I'd rather take a detour 'cause this road ain't gettin' clearer
Your train of thought has cut me off again
Better tame that boy 'cause he's a wild one
Better tame that boy for he's a man
Sweetheart don't make me laugh, you's gettin' too big for your pants
And I's think maybe you should cut out while you can

You can use you illusion, let it take you where it may
We live and learn and then sometimes it's best to walk away
Me I'm just here hangin' on, it's my only place to stay
At least for now anyway I've worked too hard for my illusions
Just to throw them all away

I'm taking time for quiet consolation
In passing by this love that's passed away
I know it's never easy, so why should you believe me
When I've always got so many things to say
Calling off the dogs a simple choice is made
'Cause playful hearts can sometimes be enraged
You know I tried to wake you, I mean how long could it take you
To open up your eyes and turn the page

Kindness is a treasure and it's one towards me you've seldom shown
So I'll say it for good measure to all the ones like you I've known
Ya know I'd like to shave your head and all my friends could paint it red
'Cause love to me's a two way street and all I really want is peace

But my baby's got a locomotive, my baby's gone off the track
My baby's got a locomotive, got ta peel the bitch off my back
I know it looks like I'm insane, take a closer look I'm not to blame, no

Affection is a blessing can you find it in your sordid heart
I tried to keep this thing ta-gether, but the tremor tore my pad apart
Yeah I know it's hard to face when all we've worked for's gone to waste
But you're such a stupid woman and I'm such a stupid man
But love like time's got its own plans

'Cause my baby's got a locomotive, my baby's gone off the track
My baby's got a locomotive, got ta peel the bitch off my back
I know it looks like I'm insane, take a closer look I'm not to blame, yeah
If love is blind I guess I'll buy myself a cane

Love's so strange

If we could see tomorrow
What of your plans
No one can live in sorrow
Ask all your friends
Times that you took in stride
They're back in demand
I was the one who's washing
Blood off your hands

Don't you cry tonight
I still love you baby
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight

I know the things you wanted
They're not what you have
With all the people talkin'
It's drivin' you mad
If I was standin' by you
How would you feel
Knowing your love's decided
And all love is real

An don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight

I thought I could live in your world
As years all went by
With all the voices I've heard
Something has died
And when you're in need of someone
My heart won't deny you
So many seem so lonely
With no one left to cry to baby

An don't you cry tonight
An don't you cry tonight
An don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry
Don't you ever cry
Don't you cry tonight
Baby maybe someday
Don't you cry
Don't you ever cry
Don't you cry
Tonight

I'm a cold heartbreaker, fit ta burn and I'll rip your heart in two
And I'll leave you lyin' on the bed
I'll be out the door before ya wake, it's nuthin' new ta you
'Cause I think we've seen that movie too

'Cause you could be mine, but you're way out of line
With your bitch slap rappin' and your cocaine tongue you get nuthin' done
I said you could be mine

Now holidays come and then they go, it's nothin' new today
Collect another memory
When I come home late at night don't ask me where I've been
Just count your stars I'm home again

'Cause you could be mine, but you're way out of line
With your bitch slap rappin' and your cocaine tongue you get nuthin' done
I said you could be mine, you could be mine, you could be mine

You've gone sketchin' too many times
Why don't ya give it a rest
Why must you find another reason to cry

While you're breakin' down my back n' I been rackin' out my brain
It don't matter how we make it 'cause it always ends the same
You can push it for more mileage but your flaps r' wearin' thin
And I could sleep on it 'til mornin' but this nightmare never ends
Don't forget to call my lawyers with ridiculous demands
And you can take the pity so far but it's more than I can stand
'Cause this couchtrip's gettin' older tell me how long has it been
'Cause 5 years is forever and you haven't grown up yet

You could be mine, but you're way out of line
With your bitch slap rappin' and your cocaine tongue you get nuthin' done
I said you could be mine, you should be, you could be mine
You could be mine, you could be mine, you could be mine, yeah
