Corporate America
Album - 2002 - Debaser id 39176

She's downright into herself, it's so untrue
She's dolled right in so well, this can't be you
So come down, so come see
You don't want to wake and believe
You don't know, you don't dream
But somehow you make me so dizzy

I wanna stare out your window
You don't want to let me in
Let me in
I wanna stare out your window
You don't want to let me in
Let me in

She's calling out to her friends, just give me two
She words right under her breath, they don't want you
So come down, so come please
You don't want to make me believe
You don't know, do not tease
Somehow you make me so free

I wanna stare out your window
You don't want to let me in
Let me in
I wanna stare out your window
You don't want to let me in
Let me in

So come down, so come please
You don't want to make me believe
You don't know, do not tease
Somehow you make me so free

I wanna stare out your window
You don't want to let me in
Let me in
I wanna stare out your window
You don't want to let me in
Let me in

Who can stop de-evolution of the human race?
Look at you, Corporate America, you're in disgrace
Globalize; cigarettes, business jets, you love it
Maximize; but you can take your bottom line and shove it

Gotta get away (gotta get away)
Gotta get away, but I need a little help tonight
What 'ya gonna say (what 'ya gonna say)
What 'ya gonna say when you never even seen the light
See the light

Corporate America, look out, look out
Corporate America, who's gonna save us, who's gonna save us now?

You and I; DVDs, SUVs and cyberspace
Flying blind, virtual reality is in our face
This Earth desecrated by the human race
Now what's it worth? When do we evacuate to outer space?

Corporate America, look out, look out
Corporate America, who's gonna save us, who's gonna save us now?

I see the future in the past
Just took the corner way too fast, the reckless ride of modern man
Flattened everything that stands
Fooled by the sales pitch for progress at a dizzy pace
We idolize the filthy rich for giving us synthetic taste
Computer calls, urban sprawl
Is the world a better place, is the world a better place?

Fare thee well, global extinction's forever
So what the hell, order your Mercedes in leather
Veal crates, ozone holes, and toxic waste
And don't count out religious hate
Who can survive this manmade fate?

Gotta get away
Gotta get away, and I need a little help tonight
What 'ya gonna say
Wha 'ya gonna say when you couldn't even see the light
See the light
Yeah

(Tom Scholz)

I hear you won't even say my name
I know things could never be the same

But whenever I call your number
You're not at home, don't hear the phone
Whenever I start to wonder
Are you alone, are you alone

Someone won't go to sleep tonight
Someone is gonna hurt inside

They say you receive the love you give
Someday you'll believe it's how I live

But when ever I call your number
I'm all alone and on my own
Whenever I start to wonder
The things you said, the words I read

Someone won't go to sleep tonight
Someone is gonna hurt inside

Someone like me, someone like me, like me

Someone won't go to sleep tonight
Someone is gonna hurt inside

Someone won't go to sleep tonight
Someone is gonna hurt inside

(Tom Scholz)

Different eyes with the same old screen
We laugh, we love, we cry from what we've seen
It's crazy, it's how we feel
We're staring at the walls and living out of magazines
Ooh, ooh, cryin' outside the line
There's people with disease

If you took a chance, would you like to dance
'Cause my heart is cryin'
What it would mean to me
It's like make-believe
And my heart is cryin', cryin'
Can't you see my heart is cryin'

Different minds with the same old dreams
We live a life of imaginary means
It's crazy, it's how we feel
A pilot always tries to fly without a winning pace
A runner can never decide to end a given race
Staring outside, a child's made a big mistake

If you took a chance, would you like to dance
'Cause my heart is cryin'
What it would mean to me
It's like make-believe
And my heart is cryin', my heart is cryin'
My heart is cryin'
Can't you see my heart is cryin'

Different minds with the same old dreams
We live a life of imaginary means
Ooh, ooh, cryin' outside the line
There's people with disease

If you took a chance, would you like to dance
'Cause my heart is cryin'
What it would mean to me
It's like make-believe
And my heart is cryin', my heart is cryin'
My heart is cryin'

(Tom Scholz)

You say love is all you need
So the story goes
There's no changin' what you believe
But you're the one who knows

You gave on love
You gave up so easily
Guess you're not so tough
You gave up on on everything love could be

Saw the way so long ago
Guess it was beyond us
And you won't say but you still know
You just broke your promise

You gave on love
You gave up so easily
Guess you 're not so tough
You gave up on on everything love could be

Hey, you run to me but it's just not enough
Hey, you couldn't see that you had to be
You had to be in love

You gave up on love
You gave up on everything
You gave up on love
You gave up on everything

You gave up on love, Hey
You gave up on love
And you gave up on everything love could be

Now, if you're feeling kinda low 'bout the dues you've been paying
Future's coming much too slow
And you wanna run but somehow you just keep on staying
Can't decide on which way to go
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I understand about indecision
But I don't care if I get behind
People living in competition
All I want is to have my peace of mind
Yeah
O-o-oo

Now you're climbing to the top of the company ladder
Hope it doesn't take too long
Can't you see there'll come a day when it won't matter
Come a day when you'll be gone

I understand about indecision
But I don't care if I get behind
People living in competition
All I want is to have my peace of mind
Yeah
O-o-oo

Take a look ahead
Take a look ahead
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Woo

Now everybody's got advice they just keep on giving.
Doesn't mean too much to me
Lots of people have to make-believe they're living
Can't decide who they should be

I understand about indecision
But I don't care if I get behind
People living in competition
All I want is to have my peace of mind
Yeah
O-o-oo

Take a look ahead
Take a look ahead
Look ahead...

Babe, tomorrow's so far away.
There's somethin' I just have to say.
I don't think I could hide
What I feel inside
Another day.
Knowin' I love you.

And I -- I'm getting' too close again.
I don't wanna see it end.
If I tell you tonight
Will you turn out the light.
And walk away
Knowin' I love you?

I'm gonna take you by surprise
And make you realize.
Amanda
I'm gonna tell you right away
I can't wait another day.
Amanda
I'm gonna say it like a man
And make you understand, Amanda
I love you.

And, I feel like today's the day.
I'm lookin' for the words to say.
Do you wanna be free,
Are you ready for me
To feel this way?
I don't wanna lose ya.

So it may be too soon I know.
The feelin' takes so long to grow.
If I tell you today
Will you turn me away
And let me go?
I don't wanna lose you.

I'm gonna take you by surprise
And make you realize.
Amanda
I'm gonna tell you right away
I can't wait another day.
Amanda
I'm gonna say it like a man
And make you understand, Amanda
I love you.

You and I -- I know that we can't wait.
And I swear -- I swear it's not a lie girl,
Tomorrow may be too late.
You -- you and I girl -- we can share a life together. It's now or never And tomorrow may be too late.

And, feelin' the way I do, I don't wanna wait my whole life through To say I'm in love with you.
