See you out there, it's like you'll dance the night away,
But the feelings aren't too good because you need to lead the way,
You call them friends, but now to you they have no air to breath,
And when the time is right you know you'll have to have the final say
[Chorus]
Music makes you feel good, so why make it a drag,
Too boots, the fist, the stance, you're out to win a loser's game,
How hard is it, to take them, when size is on your side,
Too blind to see, it's just a shame, when music's played in vain,
Big man with mean face now, are you bigger than you seem,
Find time to push around, and bring it down, until there's nothing left
Our music and our message, out of love more than exists
Are you there to hear it stop now, are you there to see it end
[Chorus]
But it happens and it happens, and we can not be afraid,
There's so many still who give a damn, but the good ones always seem to fade,
Is our future in the hands of those who dance the night away,
Or are you with me as I sing this song, cause we've got more to say
Take a look around, do you see what's goin' down,
Take a look around, don't pretend it's not goin' down
Excuse me, just wait one sec, have you ever really listened to a thing we've said,
You're not convinced that we could ever be a major force,
But just another youth subculture with a different song,
But for others, there's this other side,
not really looking for some credit for the things we've tried
Communication, it could work so fast,
Just cuz now you say it's over, does that make it past
[Chorus]
We could be the new wind - oh, oh!
We could be the new wind - Do you know, do you care?
We could be the new wind - oh, oh?
We could be the new wind - Will you try, will you dare?
A simple dream, no, not just that, can you just appreciate there's something we must find,
I'm not a "punker," just a human being, with this urge to exercise,
What's in my heart and mind,
It's not me hiding, from reality, pretend that I can shine it, turn around and walk away,
The contradiction, seems to follow you, assuring that there is really nothing we can't do
I know I've cried so many times, by far I've had some doubts,
And faces, faces, faces change, but still I have to shout,
Things have had me worried, will I ever have to be alone,
Then closed up doors push forward, see a side I've never known--oh!
[Chorus]
Somebody, somebody, somebody, help me scream
Somebody, somebody, somebody, Help! Me! Scream!
Someone there to drown the fire, but a passion bonds a solid link
Heartbeat, heartbeat, heartbeat, skipping faster as I sink.
Is this a stay of dedication, when it's time to bail out,
Tell me is that what life is all about--Oh!
Busy with this special thing that takes me far away,
Living for the music if the spirit's gone, why did it fade.
I see you every once in a while, so little I can say,
I know how things have gone for you, you seem so far away. [2x]
[Chorus]
Tied up, tied up in rhythm, that's my crime to you!
And everything keeps getting tied up, tied up so tight, I don't know why.
You walked beside me, every step, until a dream had found,
A spot that drove me harder, and harder I keep pushing on,
I hope you won't forget me, the way I treated you,
Until I slow down a bit, I don't know what to do. [2x]
[Chorus]
Dear shadow does it seem I've let you down,
Say lonesome, I never meant to let you down,
I'm sorry, I've taken for granted you'd be around.
It's hard to tell you how I feel, exactly what do I say,
These feelings from within for now, they just get in my way,
It seems that lately for some reason, we've been torn apart,
A bond so strong at one point, has it been blown away,
[Chorus]
I'm gonna say this now and I won't hold back,
Have our hearts grown apart, do we still have a chance?
Do we still have those hopes and dreams?
And then I feel like giving in, forgetting what's been said,
Pretend like things are just the way, they were when we were young,
To share emotions we have shared, in friendship, brotherhood
Daddy always told you, do it like a man, never get too friendly,
ome won't understand, friends have got you in on all those "hard" things that they've planned,
All your life they told you, never shed a tear, cuz boys don't crave affection,
Boys ain't got no fear,
But did they ever show you how to shut those feelings on then off again
[Chorus]
And now you gotta hide yourself, hide yourself away,
Show you care and you might show the world that you're only gay,
Crying is for babies, for boys is it a sin,
To be a caring, sharing, loving, human one
Handshake show you're friendly, but don't get caught,
You gotta fight to prove you're not afraid, fuck just to prove you're not,
And all your life you play this game and it goes on and on and on and on,
Now you've grown into a man, proud as hell to be,
It's now your turn to raise a son, don't let him be one,
And you can teach him all the things you were taught yourself
He said, "Come along, that urge has come again and now I'm feeling strong",
Expectations of you, don't care is you want to want along,
Love for those who make it without knowing how another feels,
The fact is, what you do is rape, it never crossed your mind before,
[Chorus]
An opinion of feelings
It's just pride, no real depth,
Opinion of feelings,
Do those feelings mean anything at all
He's pulled you down, he's taking aim, you wonder what he's waiting for,
And he may get his way this time, but will he ever change your mind,
A sharp resentment, guilt, deep pain, all this in the act of love,
And now you're just a victim of his gain, a selfish game
