2. It's A Long Way To The Promised Land
3. A World Without Melody2:32

   Letra

   I don't want to live In a world without melody Sometimes the rhythmic din Of society is too much for me But purpose is prioritized these days, The goal is win the prize There's a sleeping resonance we hold, Through which we're unified So let it out! Don't just get lost in the crowd No one can deter you from your own path There's no trip too remote From which you can't come back And I've got this hunch about you and me None of us are ready For a world without melody Melody is the key, It's the surest way To unlock your individuality Melody is the key, It will set you free! Don't disrelish harmony, Community will make you whole Work and understanding are the chords Way deep within your soul They only need to be struck once, And the vibrations swell and spread But if we mute them they decay, Our sensibilities are dead So let it out! Don't just be one of the crowd Hesitance and diffidence will do you in And your soul doesn't care For social medicine And I've got this hunch About you and me None of us are ready For a world without melody Melody is the key, It's the surest way To unlock your individuality Melody is the key, It will set you free! And I know, Together we could change the world Just you and me But I won't live without melody
4. New America3:24

   Letra

   Do you know the cost of future misery? Have you lost your sense of sustainability? We are just a step away From realizing what we strive to be But we've got to break out From this insulated blind and lame senility Wake up the new america Wo-oh! Transcend the mass hysteria Wo-oh! Change is the thing you're wary of Wo-oh! We need a new america Wo-oh! Laurels, human triumph, Bestowments from the past Victories don't mean a thing If they don't last We are just marching toward extinction With blinders on our eyes Jeopardizing everything We've learned and come to realize You call that wise? Open your eyes america Wo-oh! See through the lies they tell to us Wo-oh! Confront the fears that worry us Wo-oh! We need a new america Wo-oh! We don't have to be afraid to re-invent We've got to start to build, Progress, and implement For when we take our fill, And never pay the price We only build ourselves a fleeting, False paradise You can live in staunch denial And mark me as your enemy But I'm just a voice among the throng Who want a brighter destiny They say with me We are the new america Wo-oh! This is the new america? Wo-oh
5. 1000 Memories3:00

   Letra

   You were the one, You were my everything Never apart, No one in-between Then one day, When you went your own way You felt justified, And I was mortified But today... You are just a picture And a thousand memories Is all I take with me Cuz your smile Is just too much to see You're just a thousand memories Fantasies, broken dreams Reveries, sordid histories Following my heart, Laden with reaction, Without calibration or design Committed to a trial, A life of understanding Can't somebody show a sign to you? For me, to see if you only knew That you were the one... Cuz a picture is worth One thousand memories
6. A Streetkid Named Desire3:17

   Letra

   Well, it was punk-fifteen in the morning And it was time To stand my ground And as the gawks and stares bombarded me You know, I didn't even Hear a sound No one gave a damn If I was there or away If I died and went to hell, They'd throw a party on my grave And they'd all say, "this kid is just a fool, he'll never be cool, They might as well just ship him off To some other school" Plain destitute Just a little too guilty, just a little too soon That day was just like any other day No work, and no pay I knew that paradise was some other place And I'd get there another day I will find it before I expire Cuz I've got the desire Well, it was punk-fifteen in the evening And it was time to set the town on fire I saw my boots and my hair, As reflected in the mirror, Reveal a streetkid named desire I didn't give a damn Because I was just dying to be And as the hollywood street scene Left it's mark on me I changed from a boy into a man I said "never again!" I stuck out my chin when I should have ran Shit in the fan I was driven so hard By the sound of my heart When the walls surround In deeper shades of blue And there's no voice of reason inside you And you search for meaning On an empty shelf Then you're always dreaming Of somewhere else Today is just like any other day No fear, no restraint I know that paradise is some other place And I will get there another day You can come with me, No conditions or fares Somehow, somewhere, I will find it before I expire, Cuz I've got the desire
7. Whisper In Time2:32

   Letra

   All those stories that my dad told me, They are just a whisper in time All those things that never came to be, They are just a whisper in time A whisper in time, a whisper in time Things that I can't shake from my mind A whisper in time, a whisper in time Moments that just flicker and die All those places I wanted to go, They are just a whisper in time All those friends who now I do not know, They are just a whisper in time A whisper in time, a whisper in time Moments I can't shake from my mind A whisper in time, a whisper in time Memories that flicker and die Maps and roads that brought me here today, They are just a whisper in time Circumstances that were explained away, They are just a whisper in time A whisper in time, a whisper in time Things that I can't shake from my mind A whisper in time, a whisper in time Moments that just flicker and die Because we are messengers of memory, Just whispers in time.
8. Believe It3:41

   Letra

   It could happen to you, A defect from the Wasted outskirts of los angeles With a crumpled-up pass for the RTD And no authority or trajectory On the brink of insanity You'd better believe it Because it's written all over your face Just a neighborhood reject, Out of step and out of place You'd better believe it Would you ever have thought Persistence could prevail Against the almost Unbearable weight of the system? With nothing better to do, And no one else who you can look up to You'd better believe it Because it's written all over your face A political defect, Out of step and out of place You'd better believe it And the future is bright When ideas run astray So turn out the light, A punk can't have a say Sometimes desire is all that's there Who said life was fair?
9. I Love My Computer3:05

   Letra

   I love my computer You make me feel alright Every waking hour And every lonely night I love my computer For all you give to me Predictable errors and no identity And it's never been quite so easy I've never been quite so happy All I need to do is click on you And we'll be joined In the most soul-less way And we'll never Ever ruin each other's day Cuz when I'm through I just click And you just go away I love my computer You're always in the mood I get turned on When I turn on you I love my computer You never ask for more You can be a princess Or you can be my whore And it's never been quite so easy I've never been quite so happy The world outside is so big But it's safe in my domain Because to you I'm just a number And a clever screen name All I need to do is click on you And we'll be together for eternity And no one is ever gonna take my love From me because I've got security, Her password and a key
10. The Hopeless Housewife2:59

    Letra

    Oh me oh my Get out of your 1950's fantasy, Your face shines with misery Transparently Spew out that sobering Half-assed victim rhetoric Make 'em all squirm While they chew on it It's a secret handshake And a passing wink of the eye As the witches bridge club weekly Meets to pen the tail on the sly But they never ask "why oh why don't we raise our voices to the sky?" Instead you're mute And fawn just waiting to die Like some kind of hopeless housewife But you can change while you're alive And let 'em all know At least you tried to kill the demons inside Oh me oh my Damn your transcendental paralysis, We can work together And make sense of this Don't be so sure You can chuck it all away You've got to proceed No matter how bad you want to stay It's a natural cause And a comfort zone There in your head And the world turns away As you tap the snooze button in bed But nobody can hear a word you said Your history was never read Instead you're mute And fawn just waiting to die Like some kind of hopeless housewife But you can change while you're alive And let 'em all know At least you tried to kill the demons inside
11. There Will Be A Way2:52

    Letra

    Shut your eyes, See the future's distant shore March ahead More enlightened than before And there's sure to be bumps And distractions But I know we'll get through There will be me, there will be you There will be a way Unresolved repercussions from your life Fortified with the vitriol of strife And you can be gridlocked by predictions, But you're wise grab the prize Then revise, realize There will be a way Hey... Ho And I don't know where we are going But we're here on this ride And we'll stand side by side All along the way Follow me to the future's distant shore Vagary needn't haunt us anymore And now it's time to set the agenda, Learn the past, make it last Share the wealth, hold your fire, Conserve life, make it right Kill the hate, negotiate There will be a way There will be a way There will be a way
12. Let It Burn2:44

    Letra

    Let your mind wander, Look beyond the shadows Focus on the skyline, Read the silhouettes Your deepest desires Are a picture of tomorrow All your darkest fears Are just a vestige of regret And it's wo-oh oh oh It seems like such a long way to go As obstacles get bigger, Prevailing winds blow stronger And the fire continues to grow Don't let shallow water limit your perception Heed the new horizon, Muster to it fast The moments of your yesterdays Are in the wake behind you You can't assess the future If you're living in the past Keep it stoked! If you are committed To a life of understanding Then there's no agenda For vengeance in your life Sharpen all your senses, Face the opposition You can overcome With fortitude and mental might The fire continues to grow, In your soul So be bold, let it grow Don't let it die Let it burn!
13. Don't Sell Me Short3:57
14. The Fast Life

    Letra

    The silent stray inertia No burden on my back No determinance, no ballast No chance of looking back It doesnt matter whats ahead Its time Ill hit it hard No fixing my position No sign of retard Its the fast life Theres nothing I can do The fast life Suck it in and follow through The fast life Just learning as I go You might call it careless But this fast life Is all Ive ever known Like a wispy feather Defying gravity Or a rolling cobble In the middle of the stream Propelled by a ghost force That never shows his face Increase the ante Of this perpetual pace Its the fast life Theres nothing I can do The fast life Suck it in and follow through The fast life Just learning as I go You might call it careless But this fast life Is all Ive ever known Ever since the day I came out of the womb My head was always bouncing Off the walls in the room Always scratching gravel Covering new ground No matter how hard they tried They couldnt pin me down Its just the fast life Theres nothing I can do The fast life Suck it in and follow through The fast life Just learning as I go You might call it careless But this fast life Is all Ive ever known Yeah its all Ive ever known
15. Queen of the 21st Century

    Letra

    From the time she could crawl She was all draped in macrame' She was preen and redeemed In a church that tried to show the way She was taught to never ask for more They had no idea of what she had in store She's the queen of the 21st century Just a ghost of what her parents thought a little girl should be Analog heart, analog nerves, analog brain But a fixture of the digital domain Woh... From the time she could read She could see that there was urgency No debate, just a spate of ignorance in a splintering community She could never meet their expectations Then she came to symbolize the nation She's the queen of the 21st century Just a shell of what her parents thought a little girl should be Steeped in spite, coddled in fear, drenched in novelty Oh but masterful of sensual technology Oh... She's the queen She's the queen No rules in her empire She's the queen Just libido and desire She's a lean, mean fighting machine The stuff for modern media lore And she always knows the score She's the queen of the 21st century Just a ghost of what her parents thought a little girl should be Fallen star, black and blue, broken hearts, wasted youth Rusted cars, twisted roots, mental scars, the ugly truth Oh... She's the queen of the 21st century And she's a modern day romantic, a walking controversy She's the queen of the 21st century She's the queen
