Rage and grace
Pulling me closer, pushing away
And me
The sharpest thorn on your vine
Twisting and turning
We're all intertwined
Broken wing
Empty glass
Words that scream and bounce right back
She says, Du know
We'd all like to rearrange
I wish I could fix you
And make Du how I want you
I wish I could fix you
And I wish Du could fix me
I wish I could heal you
And mend where Du are broken
I wish I could heal you
And I wish Du could heal me
Ha la la la
A beaming sunrise buries the night
The setting sun destroys the light
Then she says, baby, I've gotta get going
Cutting each other
Without even knowing
She sees a million stars like holes in the sky
All God's tears for her they cry
And I am in her rain
I wish I could fix you
And make Du how I want you
I wish I could fix you
And I wish Du could fix me
I wish I could heal you
And mend where Du are broken
I wish I could heal you
And I wish Du could heal me
Broken wing
Empty glass
Words that scream and bounce right back
She says, Du know
We'd all like to rearrange
It was recorded in 2001 after the release of their CD Conspiracy of One for the movie Orange County. The song was also released as a single in December 2001.
But Du cannot win
Du may throw me down
But I'll rise again
The Mehr Du say
The Mehr I defy you
So get out of my face – Oh Yeah!
Du cannot stop us
Du cannot bring us down
Never give up
We go on and on!
You'll never break us
Never bring us down
We are alive!
The wind blows
I'll lean into the wind
My anger grows
I'll use it to win
The Mehr Du say
The Mehr I defy you
So get out of my way – Oh Yeah
All my will
All my strength
Rip it out
Start again
Du cannot stop us
Du cannot bring us down
Never give up
We go on and on!
You'll never break us
Never bring us down
We are alive!
All my will
All my strength
Rip it out
Start again
Can Du leave it all behind?
Can Du leave it all behind?
Cause Du can't go back
Du can't go back

I think she wants me only
She sagte “Come over right away”
But she's just not that way
Her little soul is stolen
See her put on her brand new face
Pull the shades
Razor blades
You're so tragic
I hate Du so
Liebe Du more
I'm so elastic
The things Du say
Games Du play
Dirty magic
I should know better than
To think I'd reach inside her
It's all a cloudy kind of daze
She's not so sweet today
She mocks me, I'm no fighter
It all just seems like such a waste
Pull the shades
Razor blades
You're so tragic
I hate Du so
Liebe Du more
I'm so elastic
The things Du say
Games Du play
Dirty magic
It's oversimplified
Pull the shades
Razor blades
You're so tragic
I hate Du so
Liebe Du more
I'm so elastic
The things Du say
Games Du play
Dirty magic
We are one with ourselves
We don't give a shit about anyone else
Well it won't be wrong until our Tag in the sun is gonna stop
The walls come tumbling down
We are one
We are free
We are headed for obscurity
We are one
We are weak
We are gonna make ourselves extinct
Let it go
We're gonna let it go
It's real, we are one
Du know it's true
Don't fuck with us oder we'll fuck with you
It's a mentality that kills the best
We better stop
The walls come tumbling down
We are one and it won't be news
When we hang ourselves with one collective noose
Well, it won't be wrong until our Tag in the sun is gonna stop
The walls come tumbling down
We don't give a shit about anyone else
Well it won't be wrong until our Tag in the sun is gonna stop
The walls come tumbling down
We are one
We are free
We are headed for obscurity
We are one
We are weak
We are gonna make ourselves extinct
Let it go
We're gonna let it go
It's real, we are one
Du know it's true
Don't fuck with us oder we'll fuck with you
It's a mentality that kills the best
We better stop
The walls come tumbling down
We are one and it won't be news
When we hang ourselves with one collective noose
Well, it won't be wrong until our Tag in the sun is gonna stop
The walls come tumbling down
Lay in bett all day
And when I say I Liebe her
Well she rolls the other way
But really she don't mean it
Everything she says
Still if I believe in love
There's nothing wrong
There's nothing wrong with my head
Me and my old lady
Sit and sip on wine
And when she says she loves me
Will I say that Liebe is blind
But really I don't mean it
Everything I say
Still if she believes in love
There's nothing wrong
There's nothing wrong with her head
So what if we're making a scene now
Du know she don't give a shit
When she's pawin' and grabbin' on me now
Du know I don't mind a bit
It's all good and we
Ain't gonna change now
The world is unaware
So if Du want to go on and stare
Cause we don't care
She ain't no ball and chain
Me and my old lady
Suck each other dry
And when in that position
I'm the luckiest man alive
Quenching our libidos
Passing time away
Now that I believe in love
There's nothing wrong
And it's stuck in my mind
Way back, when we were just kids
Cause your eyes told the tale
Of an act of betrayal
I knew that somebody did
Oh, waves of time
Seem to wash away
The scenes of our crimes
for Du this never ends
Can Du stay strong?
Can Du go on?
Kristy are Du doing okay?
A rose that won't bloom
Winter's kept you
Don't waste your whole life trying
To get back what was taken away
Though the marks on your dress
Had been neatly repressed
I knew that something was wrong
And I should have spoke out
And I'm so sorry now
I didn't know
Cause we were so young
Oh, clouds of time
Seem to rain on
Innocence left behind
And it never goes away
Can Du stay strong?
Can Du go on?
Kristy are Du doing okay?
A rose that won't bloom
Winter's kept you
Don't waste your whole life trying
To get back what was taken away
They can make things worse for me
Sometimes I'd rather die
They can tell me lots of things
But I can't see eye to eye
Well, I know they know the way I think
I know they always will
But some Tag I'm gonna change my mind
Sometimes I'd rather kill
Bloodstains
Speed kills
Fast cars
Cheap thrills
Rich girls
Fine wine
I've Lost my sense, I've Lost control, I've Lost my mind
Things seem so much different now
The scene has died away
I haven't got a steady job
And I've got no place to stay
Well, it's a futuristic modern world
But things aren't what they seem
Some Tag you'd better wake up
From this fucked up fantasy
Bloodstains
Speed kills
Fast cars
Cheap thrills
Rich girls
Fine wine
I've Lost my sense, I've Lost control, I've Lost my mind
Sometimes I'd rather die
They can tell me lots of things
But I can't see eye to eye
Well, I know they know the way I think
I know they always will
But some Tag I'm gonna change my mind
Sometimes I'd rather kill

Well I'd like to tell Du all about my dream it's a place
Where stripmalls abound and diversion's mere moments away
Where culture's defined
Von the one's least refined
And you'll be left behind
If Du don't fit in
It's all distorted
In americana my way
Well fuck you
Well my dream has come true
My vision has come true
Now give me my cable, fast food, four-by's, tat's right
away
I want it right now cause my generation don't like to wait
My future's determined by
Thieves, thugs, and vermin
It's quite an excursion
But it's okay
Everything's backwards
In americana my way
Well fuck you
Well my dream has come true
My vision has come true
Yeah, it's all coming true
I'm a product
Of my environment
So don't blame me, i just work here
But I wanna fuck you
My rights are denied by
Those least qualified
Trading profit for pride
But it's okay
Everything's backwards
In americana my way
Well fuck you
My nightmare has come true
My nightmare has come true
Yeah, it's all coming true
Where stripmalls abound and diversion's mere moments away
Where culture's defined
Von the one's least refined
And you'll be left behind
If Du don't fit in
It's all distorted
In americana my way
Well fuck you
Well my dream has come true
My vision has come true

Once Du sagte you'd stick to it until the end
I guess Du lied, they call it suicide
Now you're gone
What was so wrong that Du couldn't find a way to
carry on?
Sekunde guess
Did I do my best
There was a friend I had
Johnny was a weirdo
So what did Du expect?
I ain't no fucking hero
I'm just trying to survive myself
I should have known Du went through it alone
I wonder why did Du even try?
Du could have come to me
I would have helped Du see
Du could have found a way to carry on
Sekunde guess
Did I do my best
There was a friend I had...
'Johnny's strange behavior was a tip-off,' they say
But I ain't no fucking savior
I'm just living Tag Von day
Little things, little lives hanging 'til the end
I say it doesn't really mean nothing
Telling truth, telling lies
I used to have a friend
I say it don't really mean nothing
And I can't let this feeling go
Let this feeling go
I guess Du lied, they call it suicide
Now you're gone
What was so wrong that Du couldn't find a way to
carry on?
Sekunde guess
Did I do my best
There was a friend I had
Johnny was a weirdo
So what did Du expect?
I ain't no fucking hero
I'm just trying to survive myself
I should have known Du went through it alone
I wonder why did Du even try?
Du could have come to me
I would have helped Du see

Little things, little lives hanging 'til the end
I say it doesn't really mean nothing
Telling truth, telling lies
I used to have a friend
I say it don't really mean nothing
And I can't let this feeling go
Let this feeling go
