It's A Beautiful Day

Verse 1
It's a beautiful day
But I don't feel the way I should
Why can't I be happy for once?
Why can't I let go of my anger?
Life is getting harder to live every day

Verse 2
It's a beautiful day
But I don't feel the way I should
Why can't I be grateful for once?
Why can't I be more forgiving?
Life is getting harder to live every day

Verse 3
It's a beautiful day
But I don't feel the way I should
Why can't I be patient for once?
Why can't I ever be satisfied?
Life is getting harder to live every day

Chorus 1
It's a beautiful day
I even noticed with all the problems I'm facing
But who knows what tomorrow may bring
It might be my last day on earth

Chorus 2
It's a beautiful day
I even noticed with all the problems I'm facing
I don't feel the way I should

Show Me A Hero

Verse 1
Show me a hero
Someone who is not afraid of flying
Someone who is not afraid of falling
This person should not hide away
They must be able to take on challenges
They must be able to stand up for what is right

Verse 2
Show me a hero
Someone with a heart and a soul
Someone who strives under pressure
This person should have an open mind
They must be fair and non-judgemental
They must always be able to try their best
Even if they think they will fail

Chorus 1
Show me a hero
Someone who knows that they're not Superman
Someone who knows that they're not Wonder Woman
But they still continue to be strong and courageous
Show me a hero

Chorus 2
Show me a hero
Someone who knows that they're not Superman
Someone who knows that they're not Wonder Woman
But they still continue to be strong and courageous
Show me a hero
Someone who is not afraid to think
Someone who has an imagination
Someone who is not afraid to be diverse
Someone who is genuine

There You Go Again

Verse 1
There you go again
Walking around with your arrogance
To many you seem tough and bold
You came out of nowhere
From a place far away
Now everywhere I go, I see your face

Verse 2
I'm impressed by the number of supporters you have
I've never seen that type of following
The kind that doesn't back down
From pressure placed on them
Criticism only makes them more loyal

Bridge
Are you able to stand firm against the commander-in-chief?
Are you able to make the country much safer?
Are you able to accelerate the economy?
Are you really electable?

Chorus 1
There you go again
Shooting from the hip
Not thinking about what you say
Your words are rarely concise
Your messages are clearer
There you go again

Chorus 2
There you go again
Shooting from the hip
Not thinking about what you say
Your words are rarely concise
Your messages are clearer
You're the man to beat

Chorus 3
There you go again
Shooting from the hip
Not thinking about what you say
Your words are rarely concise
Your image has been tainted

Chorus 4
There you go again
Shooting from the hip
Not thinking about what you say
Your words are rarely concise
Some say you will melt under pressure
The countdown is on
The race is far from over
Not a single vote has been cast
But there are many doubts about you
You say you're a better leader
Than the man you want to replace
Many believe you
Many more still have reservations

Pack of Lies

Verse 1
You said that you would give everyone a tax cut
The middle class is still waiting
For what they've been promised
Why did the rich receive more money than the poor?
The water supply is dirtier than it's ever been
The cost of living is increasing
While the standard of living is slowly decreasing

Verse 2
You said that you'd be a compassionate and strong leader
By leading the nation into a promising future
Many retirees worry about their grandchildren
Because they're not sure if world affairs will ever improve
The cost of dissenting is increasing
While the standard of democracy is slowly eroding

Bridge
The level of hypocrisy has increased
The system is failing
The cost of telling the truth is increasing
Lying is the only way to stay in power
A movement has already begun
I hope that everyone sees you
For who you truly are

Chorus 1
Everything you say - pack of lies
Everything you do is only for your benefit and your cronies
Children are dying, their parents are crying
You have turned your back
Against the people you said that you'd protect

Chorus 2
Everything you say - pack of lies
Everything you do is only for your benefit and your cronies
Children are dying, their parents are crying
You are thumbing your nose at many people who voted for you

The Name of The Game (2004 Version)

Verse 1
Tell me right now
What is the name of the game
You have been playing
It's sickening, it's annoying
It's like I don't know who you are anymore
When I look in your eyes, there is nothing there
When I speak to you
It's like you don't even care
Sometimes I'm afraid to be alone with you
Because I don't know what you would do

Verse 2
You have the potential to deny
Many people from living their lives
If you do, that will be unforgivable
But more importantly, it is erasable

Bridge 1
You are a different person
I thought that I could love you
And you could love me
At this moment in time, that's an impossibility

Bridge 2
You need to seek help right away
Everyone's safety is at risk
You need to control your anger
If you don't, it will take hold of you

Bridge 3
This situation that you are in is serious
Lately, you've been acting like you're delirious
I don't know what the future holds
If you understand me, you'll do what you're told

Chorus 1
What is the name of the game
You have been playing
It has made you insane
You are a walking time bomb
Who is capable of mass destruction

Chorus 2
What is the name of the game
You have been playing
It has made you insane
You are a walking time bomb
Who is capable of mass destruction
What is the name of the game
You have been playing
It has made you insane
You have nothing at all to gain

By Request

Verse 1
Please play my favourite song
I love it so much
It puts me in a good mood
I cannot get through the day without hearing it
I need it right now
Do not deny me of the pleasure the tune brings
Listening to it is the best moment of the day

Verse 2
When I hear the song
I turn the volume all the way up
The rhythm dances throughout my body
I just can't stand still
Fighting the feeling is a waste of time
Because, because, because, because I always lose
I give in to the power the song has over me

Bridge
Hey, DJ - yeah
Can you do me a favour? - what's that?
Play my favourite song
Pretty please, play my song, play it
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay - I will play it
Thanks!
Here it is, here it is, here it is, here it is by request
The song that you love to hear
Turn the volume all the way up
Here it is, here it is, here it is, here it is by request
Here it is, here it is, here it is, here it is by request

Chorus
Here it is, by request (4x)

Sugar

Verse 1
Sugar, you're the sweetest thing I know
Sometimes it's a little too much for me
But right now I want to indulge in some fun
We'll have a good time if you join me

Verse 2
Sugar, I do't have any plans for some time
You have no reason to go away
You will get my undivided attention
It's hard for me to look away from you

Bridge 1
Sugar, I want you
Like I've never wanted anything in my life
You cause my heart to beat
You cause my lungs to breathe
I go crazy just to have a taste of your sugar

Bridge 2
Sugar, you look so beautiful
You put me in a good mood
Sugar, you have no clue
As to how I feel about you

Bridge 3
Sugar, I want you
Like I've never wanted anything in my life
I think that I am addicted to you
If I live without you
I will go through withdrawal

Chorus
I can't get you off my mind
You have infected my memory
I see you, I hear you, I feel you
I just gotta have you right away
I won't put it off for another day
Everywhere I go, I smell you
I want to taste you so badly

All I Need Is You

Verse 1
I have watched caterpillars turn into butterflies
They become beautiful, their colours stand out
They spread their wings
And fly abandonedly into the sun
You have changed me
Into someone I thought I could never be
You have lifted me up

Verse 2
You have shown me that I'm beautiful inside and out
You have taught me to have faith in myself at all times
You have given me the power to heal the pain I felt
But I truly feel that if you leave
I won't be able to carry on without you

Bridge
Like water, I need you to purify me
Like food, I need you to nourish me
Like knowledge, I need you to guide me
Like hope, I need you to provide optimism
Like a friend, I need you to be there for me

Chorus 1
All I need is you - please don't go
Stay by my side until I say so
I do not want to be alone
If you're gone and never return
I will not get a chance to learn
About life and love and other important things

Chorus 2
All I need is you - please don't go
Stay by my side until I say so
I do not want to be alone
If you're gone and never return
I will not get a chance to learn
About life and love and other important things
There are so many reasons for you to stay
All I need is you every day

Head To The Sky

Verse 1
Don't you ever stop dreaming
Keep on wishing
One of these days, your prayers will be answered
Some days like will not make sense
Other days, things will feel just right

Verse 2
Things will not go your way all the time
Don't cry, don't sigh
Things will come around
Take a moment to breathe, relax your mind
Try to always be kind

Bridge 1
Optimism goes a long way
There are so many possibilities
Never say never, don't give up
Anything can happen

Bridge 2
Keep your feet on the ground
Don't lose focus of what's important in life
Be honest with yourself
Don't be afraid to make a mistake
If at first you don't succeed, try again
This life is beautiful
Open your eyes and you will see

Chorus
Hold your head to the sky
If you believe you can fly
Then you'll do just that
Life is what you make it to be

Silent Hearts

Verse 1
I love you but I don't tell you
I assumed you already knew
I care for you but I rarely show you
It's because I don't know how
You love me but you don't tell me
You assumed I already knew
You care for me but you rarely show me
It's because you're afraid to

Verse 2
I need you, but I don't tell you
I assumed you already knew
I believe in you but I rarely show you
It's because I don't know how
You need me but you don't tell me
You assumed I already knew
You believe in me but you rarely show me
It's because you don't have faith in yourself

Bridge
We are just wasting time
We're not letting each other know how we feel
What I say to you is meaningless
What you say to me is unimportant

Chorus 1
My heart has been silent to you
When it speaks, the message doesn't go through
Things get complicated and out of control
I'm a creature of habit
It's hard for me to change even when I try

Chorus 2
You're heart has been silent to me
When it speaks, the message doesn't go through
Things get complicated and out of control
You're a creature of habit
It's hard for you to change even when you try
