(verse 1)
I see the face your making
I hear the words you say
You've got to have it your way
hey hey
so one by one you favor
you put them on display
your trophies left to decay
hey, hey, hey, hey
(verse 2)
so where's the love your preaching
so where'es the charity
it's all a mystery to me
it's time to love your neighbor
and love your enemy
lay down your life for the sheep
(chorus)
I pray you'll find
some peace of mind
look in the mirror
reflections never lie

(pre-chorus)
I don't know about the status quo
But I really dont see this obsession
to feel the need,
to make you wanna say...
(chorus)
You wanna be, You wanna be,
You wanna be a Star
You wanna be, You wanna be
You wanna be

Wannabes sell their soul for money

(verse 1)
I'm just an ordinary girl
trapped in a complicated world
just like a crushed up soda can
recycled, restored, to live again
for somebody else to use me up
(prechorus)
Fill me, Heal Me
Lover of my Soul
(chorus)
I won't be discarded
I won't feel departed
I won't be discarded
again...
(verse 2)
why does it have to be so cruel
to hate me because I am like you
this world can be contrary
viscious & sort of scary
But I'm gonna keep my eyes on you
(prechorus)
(chorus)
(alt chorus)
I won't be, I won't be
I won't be --Ordinary (4x)
(verse 3)
Now I can't even watch the news
see all the people being used
face without a name but,
I just can't help but feel their pain
I pray their hearts will turn to you
(prechorus)

diamonds
words by Mia Richards music by Mia Richards
copright 2000-01
(verse 1)
I know what you want
from me, from me
Just tell me that you love me
& I will be, I will be
(chorus)
The reason that you laugh
The reason that you cry
I'll take your tears &
turn them all to diamonds for you
Cause nothing you could say
& nothing you could do
could ever make me close my eyes
& turn away from you
(verse 2)
I know what you want
from me, from me
Just tell me that you need me
& I will be, I will be
(chorus 2)
The one that brings you home
& when your all alone
I'll hold you in my arms
I've hung the moon and stars for you
The one that you desire
that sets your heart on fire
cause now you know there's nothing
in this world that you can't do
white wedding
words & music Billy Idol, 1982
(verse 1)
Hey little sister what have you done
Hey little sister who's the only one
Hey little sister who's your superman
(Hey little sister who's the one you love)
Hey little sister shot gun!
(chorus)
It's a nice day to start again
It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again
(verse 2)
Hey little sister what have you done
Hey little sister who's the only one
I've been away for so long
(I let you go for so long)
I've been away for so long
(chorus)
(bridge)
There is nothin' fair in this world
There is nothin' safe in this world
And there is nothin' sure in this world
And there is nothin' pure in this world
If there's nothing left in this world
Start again!!!

mr. nothing
words & music by Dave & Mia Richards

(verse 1)
They say times are tough and so is he
Sometimes it's rough just to be alive
They say he never had opportunity
To prove his worth or just to be a man
So we'll just give him one more chance
We'll just give him one more chance
We'll just give him one more chance
And they say:
(chorus)
Poor little fellow, they say
Poor little man, they say
Poor little fellow, they say
Poor little man
But I don't think so
Cause' you've got something,
Something you'll never know, OH,OH
(verse 2)
I remember, a friend of mine, like a brother
But you always fell behind
Well I grew up and I watched you try
I held out my hand time after time
But then you kicked me in the face
You just kicked me in the face
You just kicked me in the face
And they say:
(chorus)
(bridge)
Hey Mr. Nothing your calling is waiting
But your head's in the clouds and you're fading away
Away, Away
(solo)
(verse 3)
I watched you find the truth, then you let it go
Then you picked it up
Whichever wind that blows
You're a Wanna Be of all you see
But they laugh at you
You're a walking comedy
And then you kicked me in the face
You just kicked me in the face
Go on and kick me in the face
And they say
desire
(verse 1)
Holy one, in your majesty and grace
There is none, to compare to you
I tried to run, to the corners of the earth
But your love brought me home
(pre-chorus)
I thought I could leave you
But I could never deceive you
Into turning your face away
So I tried to ignore you
other things before you
but oh,oh,oh I just got to say:
(chorus)
I want you, I need you
I finally found the guts to say
I want you, I need you
I finally found the guts to say
I want you, I need you
I finally found the guts to see
I want you, I need you, I need you, I need you
(verse 2)
Holy one, there are no words to describe
your only son and his sacrifice
A perfect love that was fastened to a tree
a punishment, that was meant for me

(verse 1)
Life is like a jewel
Given to you
Sin is like a thief
Trying to take it away
(chorus)
It’s coming to steal it today
You better get your attitude straight
Before you have Hell to pay
(verse 2)
It stung me like a bee
This world’s philosophy
It tried to suck me dry
A vampire bite
(verse 3)
So lock your window
And don’t let go
To what you know is true
Or it’ll take it from you
waste
Words Mia Richards music by Dave & Mia Richards

(verse 1)
In my effort to be real
You have often had to peel
Away the solid layering
of bitterness and spite
Then I'm left with nothing more
Than the child I was before
Unpretentous wandering to the truth
(chorus)
So come and take away the fear that binds me
Let me leave this world behind me
I don't want to fake
every moment I'm awake
So come and take away the fear that binds me
Let me leave this world behind me
I don't want to make
every moment I'm awake
a waste, a waste...
(verse 2)
Now it's easy to percieve
Cause it's hard enough to breathe
and never taste the innocence--the essence of your love
Every day the feeling grows
Everything that's in me knows
That you're unmistakedly
arrayed with the truth
(bridge)
It's growing, It's blowing,
I see it, I feel it
a Siren, a Torment,
Another time for us to say
Another way, another song to sing
another day, another voice for me
to say, to you
see me hear me
words Mia Richards music by Dave & Mia Richards

(verse 1)
You're feelin alone
You're out on your own
Everythings red
the pain in your head
about to explode
You want to survive
But its all in your mind
You feel there's no hope
that your life's a joke
and your out of time
(verse2)
This feeling in inside
Took you for a ride
You thought all was lost
and so at all cost
went totally wild
So now you must pay
For mistakes that you made
Unless you repent
the time that you spent
will all be in vain
(chorus)
See me hear me
Life ain't what it appears to be
There are two paths you can take
Your destiny is what you make
(bridge rap
I look around but the only sound is the scream I see when you look at me. You seem so sweet but underneath, your pleasure lies in my defeat. You want to go so far be a super star, see your name in lights and a chauffered car, but the real desire is not the finer, you need a love that won't deny you!!
(alt chorus)
see me and hear me the power comes through me
to reach your desire and kindle the fire
(tag)
open your eyes and see
can't you hear me?
open your eyes and see
can't you hear me?
open your eyes and see
can't you hear me?
open your eyes and see!
inclined
(verse 1)
Seek me in the morning
Do you have to go out in the world?
You say that you just don't want me
Have I been so cruel that you can't see?
(pre-chorus 1)
You took so much time to state your case
With words that slap me in the face
Look in the eyes of love's embrace--and you'll find me
(verse 2)
How much do I love you
You could never begin to know the truth
Blood stains on my hands, but
Don't you know I chose to die for you
(pre-chorus 2)
So what's your reason to refrain?
You know I'd do it all again
Too much has happen to pretend--you don't see me
(chorus)
Cause I'm feeling so inclined
To give you peace of mind
But you don't even have the time--to call
nevermind

(verse 1)
If you'd try to understand
the reason for my dissention
a careless word
a slight of hand
a paranoid aprehension
(pre-chorus 1)
Could it be, that you're feeling all alone?
as you sit on your self-appointed throne
and your fans, with their hands up in the air
smile at you
(chorus)
nevermind, wait just a minute
nevermind, only for a moment
nevermind, what was I going to say?
nevermind, wait just a minute
nevermind, if only for a moment
nevermind, I just forgot what to say
(verse 2)
If you'd try to realize
the difference between us
when I choose to draw the line
well, will that be the instant?
(pre-chorus 2)
Cause it seems, that you're feeling all alone
as you sit on your self-appointed throne
and your fans, with their hands up in the air
smile at you

She loves you
she says so
she won't stop
till she knows
(chorus 1)
that she can pull your every string
she wants to bring you down
and your the clown,
your the...
(verse 2)
ruby lips
silky hair
don't get caught
in her snare
(chorus 2)
manipulation is her web
deception is her tool
and you're the fool
you're the fool...
(verse 3)
she won't care
what you say
she'll make sure
it's her way
(chorus 3)
she likes to spin you round & round
she knows that you will fall
till you've lost it all
lost it...
manipulation is her web
deception is the tool
and you're the fool
you're the fool...
