I've been kicking around these dirty streets in a daze Just trying to find some shelter from the sun And as I shield my eyes I'm finally fixing my gaze On an empty road I know I've got to run The ground along this desert highway's starting to crack And the wind is kicking dust into my eyes But I keep driving straight now I've got the wind at my back And I'm looking for a place with cloudy skies And I'm praying for rain I'm praying for rain I'm praying for rain And if that wicked wind starts blowing Well I'll just let the rain sting my skin From the distant hills a fire is casting its glow And burning all the summer grass away It's a thousand miles behind me now for all that I know And I'm ready for another sunny day But I'm praying for rain I'm praying for rain I'm praying for rain ...

Still got a couple of tricks Hiding up your sleeve You know you gotta take few licks If you want to leave Thought you were gone for good Welcome back to the neighborhood Just a couple years ago You were on your way Riches on the road And new bills to pay Marching to your own beat Right or wrong Found your way back to a street Where you still belong Thought you were gone for good Welcome back to the neighborhood Thought you were gone for good Welcome back to the neighborhood Thought you were gone for good Welcome back to the neighborhood I bet you never thought you would Still got a couple of things That you need to learn Whatever the future brings Ain't my concern Thought you were gone for good Welcome back to the neighborhood Thought you were gone for good Welcome back to the neighborhood I bet you never thought you would Breakdown Steve Now we can do this the easy way or the hard way That's what I thought you'd say Alright, okay Hard way it is Here we go Thought you were gone for good Welcome back to the neighborhood ...

You sent me another note And it's the same one that you wrote When you said you just wanted to chat But the answer is still no 'Cause I think we both know You want a whole lot more than that I really tried To see things from your side I know you're just trying to find a friend But this ain't the way And someone's got to say It's time we brought this charade to an end I don't want to see your profile picture Stop barking up my tree 'Cause Mary, there's someone in this world for you But it ain't me If indeed you're a model, well It shouldn't be too hard To find someone to buy you a drink I guess you thought you'd try to catch me Off my guard But I ain't gonna follow your link Now I understand You got some free time on your hands, mama You tell me your tired or your bored So you send me your best And another request Despite all the others I've ignored I don't want to see your profile picture Please, please leave me be 'Cause Mary, there's someone in this world for you But it ain't me I don't want to see your profile picture Please, please leave me be 'Cause Mary, there's someone in this world for you And there's just one thing that I want you to do Go and find yourself someone who's gonna love you too 'Cause it ain't me It ain't me

Saturday 03:51
Saturday, I waited for you At the door you said that you had Such a day, so come inside We'll have a drink but it's hard to think of Words to say, well never mind We have to leave this place behind Come Saturday, we'll leave this place behind. Suddenly, I find it hard to concentrate I stay up late and watch TV Just searching looking for a laugh but I don't have half The energy, and it feels so strange But everything is going to change come Saturday, Saturday, Saturday We never should have been so trusting Never should have been such fools But I guess that's just what you get For playing by the rules Empty walls have all been cleared But I can still hear echoes down the silent halls Of whispering voices, running out of choices And making desperate calls, it's a waiting game But something's gonna happen all the same come Saturday, Saturday, Saturday So we called in all our favors Made outrageous demands And now we're here with nothing left but Time on our hands On your feet, now there's no changing What has to be and I can see that down the street Cracks are showing and grass is growing up beneath the Old concrete, and the sky is grey but who can say What's on the way for Saturday, Saturday, Saturday Saturday, Saturday, Saturday Saturday, Saturday, Saturday

Touch of Evil by District 8 Couldn't be too easy Crawling out of the dirt Stepping on each slippery rung Somebody's bound to get hurt Nobody hands you the castle keys Time to take advantage of their disease Someday you're gonna have your dessert And while they're searching for the savior You try to be on your best behavior But there's a little touch of evil You got just a little touch, just a little touch, whoo Just a little touch of evil Stepping out of the shadows A smile upon your face Their seeing red 'cause you're getting ahead now In the treadmill race You washed the dirt from your hands at last All of your footprints are in the past Someday you're gonna take your rightful place And while they wait for their messiah You point your fingers at a new pariah But there's a little touch of evil You got just a little touch, just a little touch Just a little touch of evil And while they wait for their messiah You point your fingers at a new pariah With just a little touch of evil You got just a little touch, just a little touch

Interruptions by District 8 Excuse the interruption I gotta take this call It's another disruption Made my brain just stall Little bits of information Aimed right at my head Lost in conversation What was that you just said Fractured thoughts are falling from my addled mind Leaving me to wonder what I've left behind Oh did I forget to mention Under another attack Deflecting my attention What was that? What was that? What was that? Messages are crammed inside my cluttered brain Feeding a frustration that I can't explain Carried by the stream (Interruptions) Woken from a dream (Interruptions) Talking at the air (Interruptions) Anybody there? So excuse the interruption It's always something small Like a volcanic eruption That was all. That was all. That was all. Yesterday I nurtured a completed thought Disassembled by the future that I bought Carried by the stream (Interruptions) Woken from a dream (Interruptions) Talking at the air (Interruptions) Anybody there?

Do As You're Told by District 8 If you feel insecure And you need a little cure If you're plagued by doubt and misery Let me put you in a trance And give you the answers in advance To every question you will ever see And if they say look around Don't even turn your head And if they say think for yourself Remember what I said Just do as you're told You'll be as good as gold Just do as you're told 'Cause your soul's already been sold Now I've given you the tools To ignore all the fools Who would fill your head with small details And it's sheer simplicity You can just listen to me It's a philosophy that never fails And if they say look around You just pass them by And if they say think for yourself You got the perfect reply Just do as you're told You'll be as good as gold Just do as you're told 'Cause your soul's already been sold All you warriors in white Step into the light Into the light Now get out there and fight And do as you're told You'll be as good as gold Just do as you're told You'll be as good as gold Just do as you're told You'll be as good as gold Just do as you're told 'Cause your soul's already been sold

Sensible 03:41
Sensible Why can't you be sensible You're making everyone tense y'know Like you're in some kinda race Lonely boy You used to be such a lonely boy Did you think you were the only boy Had sand kicked in his face Just wait till those jerks find out how you're making it They're gonna be so impressed Man, I guess they'll be getting in line Just to shine your shoes On the local news Alcatraz We got stranded on Alcatraz You know every inmate has his own story to tell Knocked away I wish these walls could be knocked away I'm tired of being locked away In your own wishing well Still trying to convince yourself you're not faking it Now I've been taking it long enough Man, if your so tough Then why you gotta pick on me It that blasphemy Sensible Why can't you be sensible Why can't you be sensible

Now I was born on the hard luck side of town Daddy was a drinker and he never came around My Momma surrendered to a life on the street She looked at her cards and she folded in defeat At night I heard her crying There’s no use even trying You might as well just give in The house always wins The house always wins Now the losing hand will never catch a break You won’t get anything that you’re not prepared to take The things that you steal, you can turn around and sell But there’s no road to heaven when you start out in hell And the preacher men say You can never get away Someday you’re gonna pay for all your sins The house always wins The house always wins And they hold out hope like a dealer selling dope You can double your five and make ten And I know I should stay but I can’t back away So I just say “Hit me again.” Now I try to shake the past, I try to go legit The ghosts that hang around me say it’s too late to quit It’s a dangerous game, but I’m not afraid ‘Cause I’ve sat at the table and I know how it’s played And every win’s a thrill But I’m slowly being killed Stabbed by a thousand little pins The house always wins The house always wins

It's Over 02:50
Your first mistake was letting things go on this long Then it went really wrong Now hear that distant drumming Rattling the walls you built around your stash Better collect your cash Because the rent is coming due Painted your face across a thousand walls You've got to race before your statue falls You won't be protected Should have expected Now that you've wrecked it It's over Down the golden hallways now you're stumbling Your palace is crumbling Remember how it glistened Searching for the friends you thought were backing you Are we distracting you? I guess you should have listened up You carved your name into the wet concrete Now see it trampled as we take the street You won't be protect Should have expected Now that you've wrecked it it's over You won't be protected You've been rejected Never elected It's over Don't say we didn't warn you Don't say we didn't warn you 'Cause now you've been warned You won't be protect Should have expected Now that you've wrecked it It's over You won't be protected You've been rejected Never elected It's over It's over It's over
