THE HUSTLE
Give me your tired,
Your hungry
and your poor
You won't find a better work force
We know that one can't live on bread alone
but Uncle Sam wants his blood from a stone
You best believe it
You think you're free?
So free? So free?
Try going somewhere without money
To make up for the bread I don't got
I made sure my word's worth a lot
I make sure my word's worth a lot
But I got a hard time believin’
That you believe in
All that bullshit you say you believe in
Got a hard time believin’
That you believe in
All that bullshit
you say you believe in
Well I must be leavin’
YOU SEE ME?
If you can't tell
I wish you well
It comes out so broken
when tried to be spoken
Oh well,
I don't understand myself
It's always tough
There are no words
They get in the way
They're never enough
Who even cares what's passible?
When I already feel invisible
No I'm not asking
for much
So why is it so hard to ask for?
Do you see me?
STORIES WE TELL
I don't know where I'm goin'
But I know how to get there
Too soon to tell, oh well
Panic gets you no where
So don't worry
It'll be alright in the end
If you don't fit in nowhere
Then you really fit anywhere
When I got swept through the cracks
I met a lot of people down there
So don't worry
That's where the light comes in
So don't worry
About a thing
It's all just a story we tell ourselves
It's all
Just a story
We tell ourselves
THE WEIGHT
There were shots on broadway
Fired in broad daylight
A madman gagging
On a silver spoon in the night
Who? What?
Where? Why?
He left a laundry list of lies
On the living room floor
He was torn apart
His heroes weren't real anymore
It's not your fault
It's not
Your Fault
You don't have to carry that weight anymore
You don't have
To carry the weight
Anymore
COMING TO AMERICA
momma worried
I'd go hungry
But only the hungry
Change the world
So I'm going
To America
Where I hear
The streets are paved with gold
So I hurried
When I was young
I dared to dream
Across an ocean
When I arrived
To my surprise
All the streets
They weren't paved at all
Well a well-healed man hands me a shovel
and says "my good friend so on the level
the streets, all the streets,
the streets, you'll pave them all."
THE PUNCHLINE
I can't believe
What people are saying
Waiting and waiting
Just taking turns talking
Are you shy in the silence?
You feel like you're choking?
The punchline don't care
If you were just joking
You're Crazy! You're crazy!
Where are we going!?
Oh who really knows
Who? Really? Knows?
I'm fading! I'm fading!
I feel like I'm floating!
We're spinning! We're spinning!
There's no way of knowing!
You're crazy! You're crazy!
Oh where are we going?
THE DREAM
The dream is different now
At least that's what you said
Don't know what you're looking for
Don't know what's in your head
I don't mind wondering
I don't wanna wonder alone
Don't know how we made it this far
You know how things change
The more things come apart
The more they stay the same
I don't mind wandering
I don't wanna wander alone
The dream is different now
At least that's what you said
Don't know what you're looking for
Don't know what's in your head
I don't mind wondering
I don't wanna wonder alone
I don't mind wandering
I don't wanna wander alone
LEAVE THE LIGHT ON
Those eyes
They said it all
Those lies
Never said enough
If the truth can tear it apart
It should be torn apart
Leave the light on
When you walk away
Those words in your head
Don't add up with what you did
Your silence is deafening
Your silence says everything
Leave the light on
When you walk away
And I'll stay
I'll stand
I'll stand right here
Leave the light on
When you walk away
