1. I Don't Belong

I got a feeling

It's in my head

I got a feeling

Do you hear what I said?

I GOT A FEELING THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG

I GOT A FEELING THAT I...

I DON'T BELONG HERE

I KNOW IT'S TRUE

I DON'T BELONG HERE

AND NEITHER DO YOU

I got a feeling

It's in my brain

I got a feeling

I've got nothing to gain

2. Cracks In The Wall

I opened up my head to you

I listened to the plan you drew

Tell me what I should be

And tell me what I should see

THERE'S CRACKS IN THE WALL

WATCH THEM FALL

I dig it when I walk down the street

I check out all the people I meet

They know I know there's something wrong

Their petty lives, they'll soon be gone

I know this

THERE'S CRACKS IN THE WALL

WATCH THEM FALL

DOWN

3. Tear It Up

Mundane people, they're all around

They keep our music underground

But we're gonna break, break the chains

And watch their lives go down the drain

TEAR IT UP TEAR IT UP

WE NEED THE CHANGE WE NEED THE CHANGE

I look around, there's no place to play

They all tell us to screw away

Streets of Boston need a change

And Streets of Boston call my name

4. Crucify Me

Point your finger, you point it in the dark

Cause I'm just putty, just putty in your hands

So push me down, you push me to the ground

Just give me pain, and watch me suffer, watch me gasp

BETTER LOOK OUT MAN

IT'S GONNA FALL ON YOU

CRUCIFY ME

CRUCIFY ME

CRUCIFY ME

Nail me up and sit and watch me bleed

Take whatever, whatever you need

I feel oppression, I feel it fall on me

I feel the pressure cooking inside my brain

CHORUS

Point your finger, you point it in the dark

I'm just putty, just putty in your hands

So nail me up and sit and watch me bleed

And take whatever, whatever you need

5. Break The World

Walking in a straight line

Following footsteps right on time

Your days are mapped out

And your life's a game without a doubt

BREAK THE MOLD

GO YOUR OWN WAY

BREAK THE MOLD

THROW IT AWAY

There's no time left to talk

Running rampant around the clock

You don't care about poverty

Self-centered slave of society

6. Raise The Curtain

What is this

I'm too blind to see

Open arms

Beckon me

RAISE THE CURTAIN

AND YOU ARE EXPOSED

A bloodstained mind

But what of my hands?

Blood-shot eyes

What have I done?

RAISE THE CURTAIN

AND YOU ARE EXPOSED

It takes you in

And squeezes you tight

Feel the warmth

Feel the knife

Twist

7. Vietnam Syndrome

Ten years back from Vietnam

He gave his mind to Uncle Sam

He thought he had control of his life

But he went demented and grabbed a knife -

LODGED DEEP INSIDE HIS HEAD

VISIONS OF WAR

VISIONS OF THE DEAD

His pencil becomes a bayonet

You tried to help but the fire's set

Now he's after you and he's after me

We're not American, we're VC

CHORUS

So thanks very much for his kick in the face

He's not alright, he's in outer space

Just give him a shot, he'll be alright

Man, you just want him out of sight

8. Build Me A Bomb

People, they open their palms to me

What they want they take from me

What I got they gotta take

There's no more truth, it's all a fake

BUILD ME

BUILD ME A BOMB

THEN ALL MY PROBLEMS

THEY'LL BE GONE

I'm sick and tired of the same routine

Just a part of an official scheme

But I'll be sure that when I'm sold

It won't be my head that rolls alone
