Raven
Album • 1997
Brought up hard on a mean street take The rough with the smooth You gotta go with the flow now get Right into the groove Think you're gonna be righteous no Room here for a saint You see me coming and you best beware Turn a blind blind eye Out of sight is out of mind Turn a blind blind eye Never seek and you wont find Turn a blind blind eye If you don't see then you dont lie Gimme an alibi - You never saw nobody die Striking out at the market feel the turn of the screw No way you can repay them - Hey well I can help you You want the slate to be wiped clean Get them all off your back Just tell the story theres no looking back Is that your consience calling you Maybe theres something you can do To help you make it through the night You keep your lips sealed tight No matter how much you pay them What you're willing to do Take a hard look around you this was Coming to you If you live like a hard man gonna die behind bars You're out the picture noone need beware.

Each time like the first time last shot that I'll get Got to hit the target I aint got no safety net Taking all the chances put that foot down to the floor If nothing else I Know theres just one way to go Its my philosophy Push hard - You'll see That its meant to be No pain no gain You pick yourself up and you do it again No rest never stop Like I told you gonna rock until I drop Feel down from the mountain bleeding on the floor I can hear them laughing but they don't known the score Work my fingers break your bones 7 I'll Knock down that door They think thats its a sin to have the will to win Its my philosophy I'll kick so hard you'd best be on your guard.

Under the microscope building up their hope Stinging them on you really got it down Another sad sack falls prey to your attack Crawling after you all over the town. Sweet sweet Jane dont you hear me They stare at you but you just don't see So insane its so easy You pull their chain oh so viciously They love you for your mind not your body. They way she walks that walk she got That curvature She knows so well its gonna drag them down Busting out on top and leaving them behind But thats as close as they'll get no doubt. Just what I've always wanted but I can never be So wrapped up in herself she's never gonna see. You want an eyeful - She's so delightful Check out the merchandise all on show But if you get too close she's gonna burn you One way ticket and its time to go.

Do you know what you're doing think you Made the right move Don't you think you'd be better take rough with the smooth Do you know where you're going setting off on your own Don't you think it'd be easier staying inside the comfort zone I can feel it I can see it Know that I'll reach my holy grail No disguising no denying gonna reach out I'm gonna climb up the mountain I'm gonna reach for the sky Do you know what you're doing you've been here for so long Did you ever consider it was us that made you strong Hey you should be grateful we made you What you are today I don't know how could you stand up and walk away I'm gonna climb up the mountain I'm gonna reach for the sky I'm gonna stand on top of the world.

Don't want the negative Gimme the positive Things are tough enough I don't Want to hear you whine Don't want no third rate second Stringer wannabees Call in the first division make 'em crack it up because I'm hungry - I need to feed come on I'm hungry - Don't want no second best I'm hungry - Won't buy what you sell Because I'm hungry - gimme gimme gimme The real thing. You tried to tear it down rip it out and let it die Who cares for quality selling mediocrity But hiding underground the keepers of the flame Don't want no imitation they don't need alternative.

Yes I heard the story great white Hope once and future king Well that was then and this is now Lured by the glory turned to make it real again Don't look back in anger Don't look back in pain Just look to the future And concentrate like you're insane Like you're insane No reciminations nothing ventured Never nothing gained And I got my hands full Its never if you win or lose you just Got to keep on fighting Listen to yourself You're the only one who knows No limitations Take what you got and make it work I got a mean streak - Its half a mile wide I'm gonna push you and reach the other side.
Never travelled your road stubborn as a mule Worked and slaved to make it real I bet you think that I'm a fool But if you listen me I'll tell you what I've learned There aint no easy way You got to pull together you got to make a stand You got to get your goal in sight never give in to their demands And make everything louder than everything else Stretch to the limit and better yourself When you're backs to the wall you must answer the call When it seems you must stumble remember All for one and one for all All the talk I'm hearing you say the lifeblood's disappeared The only thing thats missing is what used to be between your ears I've never listened to you but I'm about to make you see This is our philosophy you got to make it happen theres no one else it must be you You got to get your goal in sight never give in and follow through They never want to listen they think the bridge is burned Oh but theres a better way

Hunting seeking move in for the kill Into focus you won I hear a sound until Rights read in monotone and then they're stripped away Trust is eroded confidence betrayed You're turning you're burning fabric of your life is torn apart Crushed between the wheels Crushed between One law - Slow strangulation by red tape One law - Stealing time what does your future hold now Burning wreckage one that got away Fingers pointing let the chips fall where they may You're turning you're learning Swift manipulation of the truth No light lost in the darkness - Reach out but who can you trust Nightmare breaking the silence no one gets out of here alive.

You come on like a freight train no way out in sight You want to go the full nine yards morning noon and night Can't take it anymore you set my brain alight Oh no - You got me going Oh no - One more time oh no - I hear you coming Won't you draw the line Losing, losing, losing, losing my mind, losing, losing Everything I say or do One more night is gonna break my back in two You got me under pressure mile after mile I know the show must go on but I cannot raise a smile Can't take it anymore right out of control Won't you listen cant you see You keep this up you know you're really gonna be The death of me I need a month to relax I gotta get some peace Trouble is once you start you never ever cease.

Wake up in the morning go right back to bed All you got is comic songs running through your head Keep on going nowhere you'll just disappear Pull yourself together Get your finger out and get into gear You want to make the big time what you got to fear Pull yourself together Get your finger out and get into gear Running on that treadmill 9 to 5 and more Hey if thats all there is to life I'm never gonna cross that door It doesn't matter who you are don't care what you do If you're really trapped the only one thats gonna break the chains is you.

See the madmans grinning face holding his gun up to the sky Etched in their minds the time and place Too bad they never Questioned why a nobody could raise himself to infamy Open your eyes and you will see Nothings as it appears to be In the wilderness of broken glass Liars bury the twisted past See the proud men in control sifting sand but they all know Truth is not the object here nail the blame On the scapegoats skin storys over Feed the furnace and push him in See the photos watch the movie the camera can lie No escaping these conclusions You stripped away the innocence Gave birth to years of dissonance Paranoia rears its head Long live the king - The king is dead Wall of silence starts to fall piece by piece it is revealed Time and time again it seems One man rises, one man stands, one man speaks out Shows the blood upon their hands will not bow to their demands No more.

I know what I want I'm gonna grab it with both hands Gotta keep a moving to satisfy demand You got what I want and I'll right through that door The only trouble is I'm always wanting more Wait until their backs are turned before you know I'll let my fingers do the walking and you'll see what I can do Fingers do the walking and I'll walk all over you There aint nothing you hold sacred that I cannot take away Let my fingers do the walking and I'll be right on my way You can keep your mortgage and your 9 to 5 I'll just take your money and get it in my car and drive You think I'm crazy well be that as it may Look in your walley guess how much made today Wait until your backs are turned before you know You think its all over 'cos I'm under lock and key Talk to my lawyer and I'm sure he'll disagree Soon as I make bail I'll disappear into the night Can't help if I don't know whats wrong and what is right.
