This one's too late for all we'd been planning out 'Cause people keep talking, they're not listening now And we know what you're saying People been talking, and they been talking loud People keep moving, don't even bat an eye This way of thinking is leaving my mouth dry 'Cause they don't know what they're seeing, they're blind People are still talking oooh I think there's something that we need to say To stop this prejudice, it's causing us pain Oh I think there's something that we need to say To stop this prejudice, it's causing us pain Or it's all on us It's all on us I go to the movies, I'm heading downtown And all I'm overhearing is just putting me down 'Cause they don't know what they're saying, no no no, they're blind Oh people keep talking I think there's something that we need to say To stop this prejudice, it's causing us pain Oh I think there's something that we need to say To stop this prejudice, it's causing us pain Oh I think there's something I said I think there is something that we need to say Oh I think there's something I said I think there is something that we need to say (Right, are you guys up for doing a bit of a sing-a-long? It's real easy, just goes like this) It's all on us, it's all on us It's all on us, it's all on us (Lovely, keep that going) It's all on us, it's all on us Think there is something we need to say It's all on us, it's all on us To stop this prejudice, it's causing us pain It's all on us, it's all on us Oh I think there's something that we need to say To stop this prejudice Oh I think there's something that we need to say It's all on us, it's all on us To stop this prejudice, it's causing us pain It's all on us, it's all on us Nobody should be treated this way It's all on us, it's all on us So pull together, we can stop it today It's all on us, it's all on us

You'll go your own way Just to find your way back home You say you don't care You'll die before you're old But you won't go And throw it all away We're young, I know But that's just today We would go down, down, down These trips are lonely When no one's around, round, round But we're only dreaming We're only dreaming Bought that new tab yesterday They're telling me it's a price That another has to pay But I won't believe their lies 'Cause it's you I find Dreaming awake tonight But who am I To go before my time We're still coming down, down, down These trips are lonely When no one's around, round, round But we're only dreaming Ah ooh, we're only dreaming Ah ooh, we're only dreaming Well we spend most of our time Finding ways to save time Well we spend most of our time Finding ways to save time Well we spend most of our time Finding ways to save time Well we spend most of our time Trying to find ways to save time We're still coming down, down, down These trips are lonely No one's around, round, round But we're only dreaming Still coming down, down, down These trips are lonely No one's around But we're only dreaming Ah ooh, we're only dreaming Ah ooh, we're only dreaming ------------------------------------- We're only dreaming But it hurts just the same You know we're only dreaming We're only dreaming But it hurts just the same You know we're only dreaming

Me+She 03:18
You were sweet and so pretty A girl of the city But you're sweetness wasted on me You've gone off with the guy That I've known since I was five Knowing he'll treat you better than me Only now that you're gone And I sleep all alone That guy, it should've been me Darling, if you only wrote to me Said something that's new to me I like when you don't straighten your hair Now this only poetry I hang on to what could've been I know that you don't even care So go back to him And leave me adrift But think back to when we were there I was far too blind to see what I lost

Alive 02:54
Five long days in the blistering sun Left me out of love, I was caving in But it's all good It's all good The nights were short, and the air was thin Only comfort found in the paper tin It's all good It's all good 'Cause I got you to come back to And in this peace I find It makes me, makes me realise I don't wanna die As I feel the heat coming off my skin, I'm alive But even a corpse stays warm for minutes after its time And now I see in me, in me A strength, that I never thought I'd find No, I don't wanna die See the longing in your eyes Sayin' I don't wanna die
