NOT YOUR KIND OF PEOPLE
By
Garbage
***************
We are not your kind of people.
You seem kind of phoney.
Everything’s a lie.
We are not your kind of people.
Something in your makeup.
Don’t see eye to eye.
We are not your kind of people.
Don’t want to be like you.
Ever in our lives.
We are not your kind of people.
We fight when you start talking.
There’s nothing but white noise
Ahhh…. Ahhh…. Ahhh…. Ahhh….
Running around trying to fit in,
Wanting to be loved.
It doesn’t take much.
For someone to shut you down.
When you build a shell,
Build an army in your mind.
You can’t sit still.
And you don’t like hanging round the crowd.
They don’t understand
You dropped by as I was sleeping.
You came to see the whole commotion.
And when I woke I started laughing.
The jokes on me for not believing.
We are not your kind of people.
Speak a different language.
We see through your lies.
We are not your kind of people.
Won’t be cast as demons,
Creatures you despise.
We are extraordinary people.
We are extraordinary people.
We are extraordinary people.
We are extraordinary people.
BIG BRIGHT WORLD
***************
We are difficult to understand
It was hard to make this simple plan work
Difficult, but that’s what made it burn
You’re a satellite around my heart
One million before the start
Indescribable, but that’s what makes it you
Shivers up and down my spine
Feet to the teeth
Inside this big, bright world
Inside this big, bright world
Inside this big, bright world
We rage against the dying
Rage against the dying light
You’re mysterious, you make no sense
I love you ’cause you’re innocent
You fell out through a hole inside the sun
So magnify the best inside me
Build the parts that you can’t find me
The parts that won’t give out when things get hard
Shivers up and down my spine
Feet to the teeth
Inside this big, bright world
Inside this big, bright world
Inside this big, bright world
Round and around in the setting sun
Round and around in the setting sun
Round and around in the setting sun
Round and around and around and around and around
Inside this big, bright world
Inside this big, bright world
Inside this big, bright world
Rage against the dying
Rage against the dying light
I’m with you
BLOOD FOR POPPIES
***************
To lift the sun,
I’ve been sitting here all night long
Rolling rock, over Buddah with the longhorn
Got a hole, rip a pocket off my uniform
With the black watch boys
Get your heads down
Oooh
Duty calls, but it’s way too late
I’m too far gone
Waiting for God, oh hell
With my pants down
Crack the stash
Then be quiet in the midday sun
I miss my dog, and I miss my freedom
Ooh ooh oohh
I don’t know why they are calling on the radio
They know I’m here just out of sight
I don’t know why they are calling on the radio
It’s by my side, and I know I’m right
I don’t know why they are calling on the radio
They know I’m here just out of sight
I don’t know why they are calling on the radio
It’s by my side, and I know I’m right
I hate the things I think about you
When I’m all alone
I know you’re tough
But I’ve been gone
For so long
Play the memories of you
Inside my head
So all these pictures of us
Burn and radiate
Watch the clouds, and I’m falling
Falling through the cracks
Head beats
And my heart is pounding fast
Off the ground
Into the starry dark, into your arms
I’m falling
Ooh ooh oohh
I don’t know why they are calling on the radio
They know I’m here just out of sight
I don’t know why they are calling on the radio
It’s by my side, and I know I’m right
I don’t know why they are calling on the radio
They know I’m here just out of sight
I don’t know why they are calling on the radio
It’s by my side, and I know I’m right
I pray my body’s right
I’ve got to stay alive
I’ve gotta take a chance and keep on moving
Keep on moving
I don’t know why they are calling on the radio
They know I’m here just out of sight
I don’t know why they are calling on the radio
It’s by my side, and I know I’m right
I don’t know why they are calling on the radio
They know I’m here just out of sight
I don’t know why they are calling on the radio
It’s by my side, and I know I’m right
I don’t know why they are calling on the radio
They know I’m here just out of sight
I don’t know why they are calling on the radio
It’s by my side, and I know I’m right
I don’t know why they are calling on the radio
They know I’m here just out of sight
I don’t know why they are calling on the radio
It’s by my side, and I know I’m right
BRIGHT TONIGHT
***************
From the beginning, we were always going to fail
We were the next thing that the world could not wait to tear down
Off balance in our own minds
Off balance in the ways we looked to everybody else
On and on all summer long, we never stood a chance
Sky bright tonight
Live forever always bright tonight
Hey you
You be who you are
You be who you are forever
You be who you are
You, my brightest star across the sky
You’re bright tonight
It was right now and then suddenly it’s gone
We were both wrong, but here we are, we’re right where we belong
Off balance in our own lives
Off balance in the ways we looked to everybody else
On and on all summer long, we never stood a chance
Sky bright tonight
Live forever always bright tonight
Hey you
You be who you are
You be who you are forever
You be who you are
You, my brightest star across the sky
You’re bright tonight
You’re bright tonight
You’re bright tonight
You’re bright tonight
You shine so bright
AUTOMATIC SYSTEMATIC HABIT
***************
The lies lies lies
You love those lies,
You tell them straight,
Straight to my face
They feel so right
They keep you safe
And you’re so…
Good at it, oh it comes automatic
Lies more lies
I can tell they’re lies
I can see right through,
You have see-through eyes
Knocked down like a?
This time I won’t be your dirty little secret
Not for you, not for me, not for your other lover
I won’t be your dirty little secret
Oh a man like you
Keep me up at night
You want your women at home
And your bed on the side
You’ve got a telephone girl that you carry around
In your jean back pocket with a?
And you’re so…
Sly about it, oh it feels automatic
Yeah, you’re so good at it
Oh it feels automatic
Sly about it, oh it feels automatic
Yeah, you’re so good at it
A systematic habit
Knocked down like a?
This time I won’t be your dirty little secret
Tell mother, tell your father, tell your friends, tell your teacher
I won’t be your dirty little secret
I won’t be your dirty little secret
Automatic systematic habit
Knocked down like a?
This time I won’t be your dirty little secret
Not for you, not for me, not for your other lover
I won’t be your dirty little secret
I won’t be your dirty little secret
Knocked down like a?
This time I won’t be your dirty little secret
Tell your mother, tell your brother, tell your friends, tell your teacher
I won’t be your dirty little secret
I won’t be your dirty little secret
I won’t be, I won’t
I won’t be, I won’t
I won’t, I won’t
I won’t be knocked down
BELOVED FREAK
***************
You’re not certain when you feel hurt
Get violent when you deal
With how the world drags you along
You’re not alone
Nothing good was ever free
No one gets it, no one sees
So here you stand, beloved freak
You’re not alone
You’re not alone
You’re not alone
Sometimes we get so tired and weak
We lose the sky beneath our feet
You’re not alone
Every comet throws an arc
And scars our vision ‘cross the dark
When we’re gone we will remain
You’re not alone
People lie and people steal
They misinterpret how you feel
And so we doubt and we conceal
You’re not alone
Don’t worry for me
Just think of yourself, think of yourself
Don’t worry for me
Just think of yourself, think of yourself
When we’re gone we will remain
When we’re gone we will remain
When we’re gone we will remain
When we’re gone we will remain
So here you stand, beloved freak
The world is at your feet
Here you stand, beloved freak
The world is at your feet
This little light of mine
I’m going to let it shine
This little light of mine
I’m going to let it shine
This little light of mine
I’m going to let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine
And so you stand, beloved freak
The world is lying at your feet
There you stand, beloved freak
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine
