Too Bad
by Nickelback

Father's hands were lined with dirt
From long days in the field
And mother's hands are serving meals
In a cafe on Main Street
With mouths to feed
Just trying to keep clothing on our backs
And all I hear about is
How it's so bad, it's so bad

It's too bad, it's too bad
Too late, so wrong, so long
It's too bad that we had no time to rewind
Let's walk, let's talk
Let's talk

You left without saying goodbye
Although I'm sure you tried
You call and ask from time to time
To make sure we're alive
But you weren't there
Right when I'm needing you the most
And now I dream about it
How it's so bad, it's so bad

It's too bad, it's too bad
Too late, so wrong, so long
It's too bad that we had no time to rewind
Let's walk, let's talk
Let's talk

Father's hands are lined with guilt
For tearing us apart
Guess it turned out in the end
Just look at where we are
Made it out, still got clothing on our backs
And now I scream about it
How it's so bad, it's so bad

It's too bad, it's too bad
Too late, so wrong, so long
It's too bad that we had no time to rewind
Let's walk, let's talk
Let's talk

No time, last one, let's go

Youth Of The Nation
by P.O.D.

Last day of the rest of my life
I wish I would've known
Cause I didn't kiss my mama goodbye

I didn't tell her that I loved her and how much I care
Or thank my pops for all the talks
And all the wisdom he shared

Unaware, I just did what I always do
Everyday, the same routine
Before I skate off to school

But who knew that this day wasn't like the rest
Instead of taking a test
I took two to the chest

Call me blind, but I didn't see it coming
Everybody was running
But I couldn't hear nothing

Except gun blasts, it happened so fast
I don't really know this kid
Even though I sit by him in class

Maybe this kid was reaching out for love
Or maybe for a moment
He forgot who he was
Or maybe this kid just wanted to be hugged
Whatever it was
I know it's because

We are, We are, the youth of the nation

Little Suzy, she was only twelve
She was given the world
With every chance to excel

Hang with the boys and hear the stories they tell
She might act kind of proud
But no respect for herself

She finds love in all the wrong places
The same situations
Just different faces

Changed up her pace since her daddy left her
Too bad he never told her
She deserved much better

Johnny boy always played the fool
He broke all the rules
So you would think he was cool

He was never really one of the guys
No matter how hard he tried
Often thought of suicide

It's kind of hard when you ain't got no friends
He put his life to an end
They might remember him then

You cross the line and there's no turning back
Told the world how he felt
With the sound of a gat

We are, We are, the youth of the nation

Who's to blame for the lives that tragedies claim
No matter what you say
It don't take away the pain

That I feel inside, I'm tired of all the lies
Don't nobody know why
It's the blind leading the blind

I guess that's the way the story goes
Will it ever make sense
Somebody's got to know

There's got to be more to life than this
There's got to be more to everything
I thought exists

We are, We are, the youth of the nation

It's Been A While
by Staind 

And it's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I first saw you
And it's been awhile
Since I could stand on my own two feet again
And it's been awhile
Since I could call you

And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've stretched myself beyond my means

And it's been awhile
Since I can say that I wasn't addicted
And it's been awhile
Since I can say I love myself as well
And it's been awhile
Since I've gone and fucked things up just like I always do
And it's been awhile
But all that shit seems to disappear when I'm with you

And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've gone and fucked things up again

Why must I feel this way?
Just make this go away
Just one more peaceful day.

And it's been awhile
Since I could look at myself straight
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry
And it's been awhile
Since I've seen the way the candle lights your face
And it's been awhile
But I can still remember just the way you taste

And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem to be I know it's me
I cannot blame this on my father
He did the best he could for me

And it's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry

Drift & Die
by Puddle of Mudd

Forgotten thoughts of yesterday
through my eyes I see the past

Well I don't know I don't know I don't know why
I Believe I Believe I Believe in the truth, from inside
go away go away go away from me
leave me alone
ignorance spreads lies
how much will money bye
Well I'll take my time as I drift and die

Unwanted live my life a shame
Who's to blame for my mistakes

As I drift and die
As I drift and die

Ignorance spreads lies
how much will money bye
Well I'll take my time

As I drift and die
As I drift and die
As I drift and die
As I drift and die
As I drift and die

Nothing Could Come Between Us
by Theory of a Deadman

Well I'm running back and forth
From here to South Carolina
Wishing you were here
I guess I should watch what I wish for

You're right on time
So invite me in
This is where your trouble begins
But I like you better than the other ones
(The other ones)

You say I'm right when you know I'm wrong
We could never just get along
Don't you hate when
It gets stuck in your mouth
And then those words get in the way
She said -

Nothing could come between us
No nothing, nothing
One of those favorite things
That she used to say
That's just what she said

Nothing could come between us
No nothing, nothing
Sorry to say
But I don't feel the same

You're so damn relentless
And you will find
The two of us are like two of a kind
But it hits you harder than the other ones
(The other ones)

And you said it loosely
When I'm just sitting here with my self
Don't you hate when
It gets stuck in your mouth
And then those words get in the way
She said -

Nothing could come between us
No nothing, nothing
One of those favorite things
That she used to say
That's just what she said

Nothing could come between us
No nothing, nothing
Sorry to say
But I don't feel the same
Since home is where the hurt is

It's on your conscience
I'm not for sale
It's on your conscience
Yeah well, I'm not for sale

Nothing could come
Oh, nothing could come
She said -

Nothing could come between us
No nothing, nothing
One of those favorite things
That she used to say

Nothing could come between us
No nothing, nothing
Sorry to say
But I don't feel the same
Since home is where the hurt is

Oh nothing
Oh nothing
Oh nothing

It's on your conscience
I'm not for sale

Brother Down
by Sam Roberts

One life to live but we're doing it wrong
You see, got my brother down cause it's nothing to me
Everyone saying that it's wrong to cheat
But there's no other way to get my life on easy street
Someone else telling you what you're living for
Been knocking you down, now you're looking for more
The only sound you hear is a closing door
Been looking for peace but they're bringing you war
Rich man cryin' cause his money's time
And poor man's smilin' cause he knows he ain't blind
There's a man over there says he's tougher than me
But I got eyes that can see through fantasy

I think my life is passing me by
I think my life is passing me by

Take it all back cause it don't mean nothing
If you give it away and you're looking for something back
Wake up every morning when there's nothing there
No reason to die but no reason to care
Someone else telling you what you're living for
Been knocking you down now you're looking for more
The only sound you hear is a closing door
Been looking for peace but they're bringing you war
One life to live but we're doing it wrong
You see, got my brother down cause it's nothing to me
Rich man cryin' cause his money's time
And poor man's smilin' cause he knows he ain't blind

I think my life is passing me by
I think my life is passing me by

In My Place
by Coldplay

In my place, in my place
Were lines that I couldn't change
I was lost, oh yeah 

I was lost, I was lost
Crossed lines I shouldn't have crossed
I was lost, oh yeah 

Yeah, how long must you wait for him?
Yeah, how long must you pay for him?
Yeah, how long must you wait for him? 

I was scared, I was scared
Tired and underprepared
But I wait for you 

If you go, if you go
Leaving me here on my own
Well I wait for you 

Yeah, how long must you wait for him?
Yeah, how long must you pay for him?
Yeah, how long must you wait for him? 

Please, please, please
Come on and sing to me
To me, me

Come on and sing it out, out, out
Come on and sing it now, now, now
Come on and sing it 

In my place, in my place
Were lines that I couldn't change
I was lost, oh yeah
Oh yeah

Weapon
by Matthew Good

Here by my side, an angel
Here by my side, the devil
Never turn your back on me
Never turn your back on me again

Here by my side, it's heaven
Here by my side, you are destruction
Here by my side, a new colour to paint the world
Never turn your back on it
Never turn your back on it again
Here by my side, it's heaven

Careful, be careful
Careful, be careful
This is where the world drops off
When the world drops off
Careful, be careful
You breathe in and you breathe out
For it ain't so weird
How it makes you a weapon
And you give up
And you give out
For it ain't so weird
How it makes you a weapon
Never turn your back on it
Never turn your back on it again

Careful, be careful

Here by my side, it's heaven
Here by my side, it's heaven
Here by my side, it's heaven

Standing All Alone
by Not By Choice

You take my breath away
With all the things you say
You take my words away
And now I'm left here standing all alone

You try hard you try hard to impress them
And they look on they don't even know your name
Name the game the game you want to play today
It's the same old game

You take my breath away
With all the things you say
You take my words away
And now I'm left here standing all alone

You fucked up you threw it all away again
Cuz you don't know what you want from day to day
Point the blame point the blame back at yourself
It's the same old game

You take my breath away
With all the things you say
You take my words away
And now I'm left here standing all alone

You try to change the world and you never see it's all a game to me
You try to change the world and you never see that it's all a game
Never see that it's all a game to me

You take my breath away
With all the things you say
You take my words away
And now I'm left here standing all alone

In Too Deep
by Sum 41

The faster we're falling,
We're stopping and stalling.
We're running in circles again
Just as things we're looking up
You said it wasn't good enough.
But still we're trying one more time.

Maybe we're just trying too hard.
When really it's closer than it is too far

Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep,
Up above in my head, instead of going under.
Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep,
Up above in my head, instead of going under.
Instead of going under.

Seems like each time
I'm with you I lose my mind,
Because I'm bending over backwards to relate.
It's one thing to complain
But when you're driving me insane
Well then I think it's time that we took a break.

Maybe we're just trying too hard.
When really it's closer than it is too far

Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep,
Up above in my head, instead of going under.
Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep,
Up above in my head, instead of going under.
Instead of going under.
Instead of going under.

I can't sit back and wonder why.
It took so long for this to die.
And I hate it when you fake it.
You can't hide it you might as well embrace it.
So believe me it's not easy.
It seems that something's telling me,

Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep,
Up above in my head, instead of going under.
Cause I'm in too deep, and I'm trying to keep,
Up above in my head, instead of going under.
Instead of going under.
instead of going under.

Instead of going under again.
Instead of going under.
Instead of going under again.
Instead of going under again.

My Friends Over You
by New Found Glory

I'm drunk off your kiss
For the another night in a row
This is becoming too routine for me
But I did not mean to lead you on
And it's all right to pretend
That we still talk
It's just for show, isn't it
It's my fault that it fell apart

Just maybe
You need this
And I didn't mean to
Lead you on

You were everything I wanted
But I just can finish what I started
There's no room left here on my back
It was damaged long ago
Though you swear that you are true
I still pick my friends over you
My friends over you

Please tell me everything,
That you think that I should know
About all the plans we made
When I was never to be found
And it's all right to forget
That we still talk
Its just for fun, isn't it
It's my fault that it fell apart

Cuz maybe you need this
And I didn't mean to
Lead you on

You were everything I wanted
But I just can finish what I started
There's no room left here on my back
It was damaged long ago
Though you swear that you are true
I still pick my friends over you
My friends over you

Just maybe you need this
You need this
And I didn't mean to
Lead you on

You were everything I wanted
But I just can finish what I started
There's no room left here on my back
It was damaged long ago
Though you swear that you are true
I still pick my friends over you

Dope Nose (Fad Of The Year Mix)
by Weezer

Debt
On my head
Wasting time
On my own

Sleep
Rescue me
Take me back
To my home

For the times
That you wanna go and
Bust rhymes real slow
I'll appear
Slap you on the face and
Enjoy the show

Cheese
Smells so good
On a burnt
Piece of lamb

Fag
Of the year
Who could beat
Up your man?

For the times
That you wanna go and
Bust rhymes real slow
I'll appear
Slap you on the face and
Enjoy the show

Ohhhh
This dope nose

For the times
That you wanna go and
Bust rhymes real slow
I'll appear
Slap you on the face and
Enjoy the show

Ohhhh

Hero
by Chad Kroeger featuring Josey Scott

I am so high I could hear heaven,
I am so high I could hear heaven,
But heaven, no heaven don't hear me,
And they say that a hero could save us,
I'm not gonna stand here and wait.
I'll hold on to the wings of an eagle,
Watch as we all fly away.

Someone told me love will not save us,
But how can that be? Look what love gave us, a
World full of killing, and blood spilling that world never came.

And they say that a hero could save us,
I'm not gonna stand here and wait.
I'll hold on to the wings of an eagles,
Watch as they all fly away.

Now that the world isn't ending,
It's love that I'm sending to you.
It isn't the love of a hero,
And that's why I fear it won't do.

And they say that a hero could save us,
I'm not gonna stand here and wait.
I'll hold on to the wings of an eagle,
Watch as they all fly away.

And they're watchin us,
They're watchin us,
As we all fly away.

And they're watchin us,
They're watchin us,
As we all fly away.

And they're watchin us,
They're watchin us,
As we all fly away.

Lovercall
by Danko Jones

[This is my effort at transcribing these lyrics. Please let me know if you see a more authoritative version. mark [at] jeays [dot] net. Thanks.]

I love it when it goes like...
Like that and like that and like that
Right behind you... wooo!
I feel so good right here, yeah

Now I might not be the flashiest dresser in the room
And I might not know how to look a girl in the eye
I might not have the right pickup lines
But I'll tell you what I got.
You see, when I was growin up
I got the entire scoop I used to watch the all the older fellas work down the block
That's right when they used to work, I used to watch, 
And when I watched I learned the lovercall, baby

If you want to do it, do it right
Up and down, side to side
Baby we can do it for a night
Don't hold me back

Now you gotta look sharp fellas
Ohhh, and you gotta act right, you see,
No woman in her right mind's gonna waste her time if you ain't on top, uh, uh, uh, 
Let's not talk about how I know that
I'm just here to pass down what I know to you 
You see, when I was growin' up I got the inside scoop 
I used to watch all the older fellas work down the block, 
That's right when they used to work, I used to watch, 
And when I watched I learned the lovercall, baby.

If you want to do it, do it right
Lick it up, side to side
Baby we can do it for a night.
don't hold me back
hold me back

wooo!

That's right I love it when I lovercall baby
do you like the lovercall?
I love the lovercall

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

She Loves Me Not
by Papa Roach

When I see her eyes look into my eyes
Then I realize that she can see inside my head
So I close my eyes thinking that I could hide
Disassociate so I don't have to lose my head
The situation, is to adjatation if she cut me off
Would this be an amputation?

I don't know if I care
I'm the jerk, life's not fair
Fighting all the time
This is out of line
She loves me not, loves me not!
Do you realize I won't compromise
She loves me not, loves me not!

Over the past five years I have shed my tears
I have drank my beers and watch my fingers fly away
Then until this day you still swing my way
But its sad to say sometimes she says she loves me not
But I hesatate to tell her I hate
This relationship I wanted to date this is over

I don't know if I care
I'm the jerk, life's not fair
Fighting all the time
This is out of line
She loves me not, loves me not!
Do you realize I won't compromise
She loves me not, loves me not!

Life's Not Fair
I'm the jerk!

Line for line, ryhme for ryhme
Sometimes I be writin' all the goddam time
It's makin' me sick
Relationship is gettin' ill
This your stupid man
On the lil, could you feel
What I feel, what's the deal girl
We're tearin' up each others world
We should be in harmony boy and girl
That is a promise we made
Back in the day
You told me that things wouldn't be this way
I think we should work this out
'Cause all I didn't mean is to scream and shout

I don't know if I care
I'm the jerk, life's not fair
Fighting all the time
This is out of line
She loves me not, loves me not!
Do you realize I won't compromise
She loves me not, loves me not!

Life's not fair!
Life's not fair!
Life's not fair!
I'm the jerk!
Life's not fair!
She loves me not!
Loves me not!

Ease 
Had to start telling me 
Won't bring me to my knees 
Scraped up and bruised from your fickleness 
I plead

Just let me feel some ease for me 

And I'm so glad I met you.

Where do we go from here? 
No I'm not the only one

Broken dreams are screams to me 
The difference I can't see 
The way you look and talk to me 
You're cursing me I freeze 
The combination of loss, control, loss of soul 
I wheeze
Just give some ease to me 

And I'm so glad I met you.
It makes me wanna go away
Till you think its over
