This Is The Jam lyrics - Hanson
This is the jam!
And I don't know where we're going
I don't want to take a stand
I just want to be who I am
This is my jam!
And I don't care if you're listenin'
I don't want to rock the boat
I just want to rock and roll
Now it's my turn to go
Now it's my turn to make some noise
It's not your turn anymore
Wanna rock your world
This is the jam!
This is the jam!
This is the jam!
This is the jam!
There is no hidden meaning
I know you've got a spark inside
I just want to start a fight
This is our jam!
The game is only beginning
I've been sitting on the side
I think I'm gonna score tonight
Now it's my turn to go
Now it's my turn to make some noise
It's not your turn anymore
Wanna rock your world
This is the jam!
This is the jam!
This is the jam!
I see you stomping your feet
I see you pumping your fist
I see you stand in your seat
I feel you screaming with me
I see you stomping your feet
I see you pumping your fist
I see you feeling the beat
I hear you screaming with me
I see you stomping your feet
I see you pumping your fist
I see you stand in your seat
I hear you screaming with me
I see you pumping your fist
I see you screaming
This is the jam!
This is the jam!
This is the jam!
This is my jam!
This is the jam!
Scream it!
This is the jam!
Yeah!
Bad Solution lyrics - Hanson
Oh yeah
Well you've got to move it
Or you're gonna lose it
Time won't always be there on your side
Well you've got to choose it
If you're gonna prove it
Change is gonna come you can't deny
What I want to know is what choice you're gonna make
'Cause every good debate has a bad solution, hey hey hey
You've got to move it (move it)
Who took the first shot?
Who started the riot?
I thought we were marching peacefully
We got the music
But we've got to use it, oh
Shouldn't we be dancing in the street?
I want to know (oh oh) what choice you're going to make
Every good debate has a bad solution
What you choose to see
Might define your fate
Every good debate has a bad solution, whoa-oh
A bad solution, hey hey hey
(Whoa-oh)
A bad solution, a bad solution
You've got to move it, move it
A bad solution, a bad solution
You've got to move it, move it
A bad solution
What I want to know is what choice you're going to make
Every good debate has a bad solution, hey hey hey
Bad solution
It's a bad solution
It's a bad solution
Yeah
It's a bad solution
Whoa-yeah
Ordinary Words lyrics - Hanson
Listen to me now
And try to hear my words
I'm gonna tell the truth
Even if it hurts
And you don't understand me
And I cant make you whole
I've been too demanding
That's why I've got to go
Oh
Still we keep on pushing, pushing til there's nothing left
And everything you say is something we will soon regret
Well there's a world beyond these walls
Yeah, I know it, feel it every day
And the love we used to have
Well it's gone, it's gone away
And the life I think I need
Isn't this one and it's breaking me
But there's no time for ordinary words
Give it to me straight
So I can feel your pain
Nothing lasts forever
Life don't work that way
I know you love to hate me
But it's too late for that
Oh
Still we keep on pushing, pushing til there's nothing left
And everything we say is something we will soon regret
Well there's a world beyond these walls
Yeah, I know it, feel it every day
And the love we used to have
Well it's gone, it's gone away
And the life I think I need
Isn't this one and it's breaking me
There's no time for ordinary words
Oh
Still we keep on pushing, pushing til there's nothing left
And everything we say is something we will soon regret
Well there's a world beyond these walls
Yeah, I know it feel it every day
And the love we used to have
Well it's gone, it's gone away
And the life I think I need isn't this one and it's breaking me
But there's no time for ordinary words
No, there's no time for ordinary words
Too Young To Kill lyrics - Hanson
It was only a case of passion spurned
We were only sixteen when the crime occurred
We fled the scene in a stolen truck
And we got away, beginner's luck
We hit the road as the sun came up
Seven hundred miles by the time we stopped
After that night it was all downhill
I was too young to kill
Her father said our love would never last
And what you're feeling now soon will pass
And Jenny's got a plan to finish school
So you better give it up now, you little fool
Well, he timed his fist and my face he struck
Jenny yelled "No!" as I tried to get up
I pulled my gun and his face went pale
Son, you're too young to kill
So we got away Scott-free
So we thought
And outside Santa Fe is where we got caught
And as Jenny stepped in front of me
Well a shot rang out
She fell to her knees
Got my diploma at the county jail
Only eighteen but I've written my will
Headline read in the Daily Mail, he's too young to kill
He's too young to kill
Live Forever lyrics - Hanson
You won't live forever
And this won't last very long
A life begins with lust
Light is on, you must
And on that day you are a child
But nothing else above
Find the ones you love
They might save you when you're old
Live the way you must
But it's twenty-one or bust
You only get one chance at bat
Even great men crash
But they take the unworn path
Never speaking of the loss
Don't ask for much
'Cause you won't live forever
And this won't last very long
You won't live forever
For all your time and trouble
You won't amount to much
You're gonna end up on the sand, dust
These Walls lyrics - Hanson
These walls, too hard to climb
And that ladder is too hard to find
I don't want to be here anymore
These roads, too hard to walk
With the things you've been saying
I don't even want to talk
I don't want to wind up on the floor
I don't want to be here anymore
Fair amount of disbelief
These walls are killing me
I don't want to be here anymore
Speak your mind or speak your peace
I swear we're sinking deep
I don't want to wind up on the floor
I don't want to be here anymore
The sky is falling all over again
Just another dis-conclusion
Another disillusion
The sky is falling all over again
Am I losing my composure?
Way too much exposure to compromise
I can't take on these walls
You've been yelling up into the red
But you haven't heard a word I've said
I don't want to be here anymore
"Give it all I've got" can be bittersweet
You think everyone's beneath your feet
I don't want to wind up on the floor
I don't want to be here anymore
The sky is falling all over again
Just another dis-conclusion
Another disillusion
The sky is falling all over again
Am I losing my composure?
Way too much exposure to compromise
I can't take on these walls
They're too hard to climb
These walls
I can't take on these walls [x2]
Carry You There lyrics - Hanson
Well I don't care what you say
Don't have use for words anyway
You don't need a Cadillac
'Cause I'll be waiting with my bare back
To carry you there
Try
You don't have to be afraid to just rely
On someone to hold the weight part of the time
It's alright
It can get too much to handle by yourself
If you can't do it alone I know you will say
I don't know what's at stake or what it takes
'Cause I don't care what you say
Don't have use for words anyway
You don't need a Cadillac
'Cause I'll be waiting with my bare back
To carry you there
Turn around
And you just might see the good you've left behind
But you're all caught up with words still left to find
It's never enough
So slow down
And the root of what you're feeling might appear
All the pushing up the hill has brought you here
And you're used up, but you lie
You tell me you are fine
But I don't care what you say
Don't have use for words anyway
You don't need a Cadillac
'Cause I'll be waiting
Well I'll be waiting
To carry you there
So don't be too proud
I'm holding my hand out
You've been my friend on darker days
I'll still be there
Despite your despair
I don't really care what you say
I'll carry you there
I will carry you there [x10]
Use Me Up lyrics - Hanson
Somebody let me down
Somebody show me love
I wouldn't care much either way
I'd rather the sticks and stones
Than dragging the ball and chain
Of what if the world won't take me
Even if the hole should crack
Even if the blood flows red
Nothing could be worse than numb
So please, use me up
I just want anyone
To use me up
'Cause no one ever does
Use me up
I've carried it all too long
The fear of the pain it brings
Feeling the panic building up
I'd rather the broken heart
Than live in the emptiness
Of what if the world won't take me
Even if the bow should break
Even if the blood runs cold
Nothing could be worse than numb
Please, use me up
I just want anyone
To use me up
'Cause no one ever does
Use me up
Use me up
Treat me some way cruel
You could throw me away
As long as I feel it
Show me something real
You can't deceive me
I am yours to use
Use me up [x3]
Waiting For This lyrics - Hanson
Without a doubt girl you're ahead of your time
Let's go out on the town
Give it a piece of your mind
You've been going round and round in your head
So don't think twice
You'll end up worse than you've been
Cause I know that you've been thinkin' bout it
And I know they think you're out of your mind
All of this time
I know that you've been waiting for this
So come on shout it out so everybody can hear
There's no need to rhyme it The message is clear
You know I can't ignore
So I don't know what you're waiting for
But you're trying hard not to show it
Cause I know that you've been thinkin' bout it
Well I know they think you're out of your mind
All of this time
I know that you've been waiting for this
Come on come on
I know that you've been waiting for this
Can't figure out how we made it this far
If you don't mind me sayin',
there's no sense in waiting so
Shout it out, shout it out
Shout if out, shout it out
You can't deny it, you can't deny it
Cause I know that you've been thinkin' bout it
And I know they think you're out of your mind
All of this time
I know that you've been waiting so
You can't deny
I know that you've been waiting for this
I know that you've been waiting for this
World's On Fire lyrics - Hanson
Standing cold and scared on top of the hill
Then came the moment when I lost my will
I prayed for mercy, please don't take me away
Voices in the distance, beautiful
Somebody's calling beyond control
Have you ever felt desperation?
This whole world is filled with loss
We will regret it when we sleep
Promises never meant to keep
When all of the shadows lead
As a good man's hiding a dream
Do they know that the world's on fire?
Time has a price we can't afford
An empty glass and an open door
You get what you paid for in sweat
And a voice says please don't forget
Do they know that the world's on fire?
Do they know that the time is now?
Do they know that you gotta stand up, stand up
Let your voice speak out
Do they know that it's time?
Caught in a maze you can't escape
The flickering lights, and the colored lens
The walls that we build just close in
Until we decide to begin
Are we distracted by the sun?
The gleaming jewels, and the beating drums
Is it going the distance we fear?
Have you heard that we're already here?
Do they know that the world's on fire?
Do they know that the time is now?
Do they know that you gotta stand up, stand up
Let your voice speak out
Do they know that the world's on fire?
Do they know that the time is here?
Do they know that you gotta stand up, stand up
Let your voice be clear
Do they know that it's time?
Some will say we've gone too far
We're on the edge and in too deep
Some will say we're too far gone
You can't erase the tragedy
I Can't Wait lyrics - Hanson
I can't wait
Well, I can't wait
Said, I can't wait
I won't miss you when you're gone
When you're gone
I've done my time, I've served it well
I didn't want to speak my mind
I held my tongue until the last shoe fell
I'm gonna put it on the line, oh
I'm not the only one
Saying, I can't wait
To be the one to knock you back off your feet again
So pack your bags and be on your way
I won't miss you when you're gone
I won't miss you
You made the rules of your dirty game
And you break them way too easily
You're always cruelest when you aim
The insults in your quiver at me
I'm not the only one, come on now
Saying, I can't wait
To be the one to knock you back off your feet again
So pack your bags and be on your way
I won't miss you when you're gone
Oh, I won't miss you when you're gone
When you're gone
I'm saying, I can't wait
To be the one to knock you back off your feet again
So pack your bags and be on your way
I won't miss you when you're gone, yeah
I can't wait
To be the one to knock you back off your feet again
To be the one to kick you down in the street again
So pack your bags and be on your way
I won't miss you when you're gone, yeah
Well, I won't miss you when you're gone, yeah
I won't miss you when you're gone
Said, I can't wait
Well, I can't wait
Well, I can't wait
Well, I can't wait
Oh, I won't miss you when you're gone
Wait Here For You lyrics - Hanson
Woke up early
To try and catch the rain
Across Pennsylvania
On a western bound train
All our pictures can't replace the things we've said
I don't know where we're going yet or where the tracks lead
I can't say what is waiting for you
At every stop
You blow my mind and change direction
The simple fact is I've fallen now so if you get off
I'm gonna wait here for you
I'm in Seattle
You're down in New Orleans
But that doesn't change much about the way I see things
I'll take the south bound
And meet you in between
There's no destination except where the tracks lead
I can't say what is waiting for you
At every step
You blow my mind and change direction
The simple fact is I've fallen now so if you get off
I'm gonna wait here for you
I can't get enough
It's only a touch
But it's breaking my heart
It's tearing me up
Are you in are you out
Are all of your doubts?
Taking you further
And further away
All I Have To Give lyrics - Hanson
Sitting here in a hotel room
Waking up in the afternoon
Its November 22nd so I've heard
We just talked 12 hours ago
But now I'm half way to New Mexico
Selling out our story for a dime
These words are all I have to give you
Tell me and I'll be just what you want
This is not a choice that I'm making
My life is all I have to give up
I recall our last conversation
Late last night in college station
Now Texas seems like a promise I can't keep
I told you I'd be home by Thanksgiving
But if I can't tell you what I'm feeling
When I show up it's not really me
These words are all I have to give you
And baby, I am wrong for what I've done
My heart once was yours for the taking
My life is all I have to give up
My life is all I have to give up
I recall like yesterday, the zydeco an the trumpets played
As we danced all night long in New Orleans
As I pulled you close to me, you said don't let go but now I see
That there's nothing left for us to go back to
These lies are all I have to give up
My life is all I have to give up
So as I say my last goodbye
In a letter that is hard to write
I think of all the things I never said
Like I'm sorry for all of the lies
And never seeing all that times
You kept me holding on to what we had
This life is all I have to give you
Tell me and I'll be just what you want
This is not a choice that I'm making
These words are all I have to give up
My life is all I have to give up
Take My Time lyrics - Hanson
I've never had a true obsession
But that's what you turned out to be
Spent hours reeling the days you're stealing
Well they might be the death of me
So take me alive, hold my breath, my heart beat inside
If you'll let me, I'll give you all that's worth taking
Take my time
Oh... to take my time, take my time
I'll never needed conversation
To feeling empty afternoon
Your touch, it wakes me
Your love, it makes me
Every moment with you ends to soon
So take me alive, take my breath, my heart beat inside
If you'll let me, I'll give you all that's worth taking
Take me alive, hold my breath, my heart beat inside
If you'll let me, I'll give you all that's worth taking
Oh... just take my time
To take my time...
Take my time...
Won't you take my time...
Devil's Nachos lyrics - Hanson
I met the devil at the Taco Bell
Said how ya doing, how's it burning in hell?
He said hot damn, give me a chance
I'll show you boy why the demons dance
Stop short and give me your price
I see the fire that is burning your eyes
He said listen son I'll sell it to you cheap
Sell you a bowl for the price of your soul
Devil's nachos
Too hot
Devil's nachos
Way too hot
Devil's nachos
They're not your nachos
He put the bowl on the table
Said take a bite if you think you're able
To bear the heat of a burning sun
In your stomach 'til the kingdom come
Right then
I stood straight
And took a chip
In my hand
And put the thing
On my tongue
And felt the tingle of my taste buds
Devil's nachos
Too hot
Devil's nachos
Way too hot
Devil's nachos
They're not your nachos
Devil's nachos
Too hot
Devil's nachos
Way too hot
Devil's nachos
They're not your nachos
I leaned close
So he could hear
Every word
Very clear
It's not hot
It's not warm
It don't sting
It don't burn
I won't sign on the dotted line
'Cause the contract says that I'll burn 'til the end of time
Hell must be frozen through
'Cause you're not the devil that I thought I knew
Devil's nachos
Too hot
Devil's nachos
Way too hot
Devil's nachos
They're not your nachos
Devil's nachos
Too hot
Devil's nachos
Way too hot
Devil's nachos
They're not your nachos
Lay Me Down lyrics - Hanson
I'll never walk away from this
I'll pull you closely to my chest
With a father's breaking heart
I'll walk you one last time into the dark
There are no reasons to explain
A silent killer bears no blame
There are no answers though I pray
I die though this is not my grave
And I lay you down
Lay you down
I'll carry you child to a place where you can rest
Sweet tears that seep into the linens as I put you down to bed
It tears me into pieces watching you fight to fill your lungs with breath
There's no need to struggle
There's no need to struggle
I lay you down
Lay you down
Don't you cry no more
I'll lay me down
Lay me down
Mmm... Oh...
Well I'm not ready
I'm not ready for this
Oh, I'm not ready
I'm not ready for this
There are no branches from this soil
(There are no branches)
My broken spirit steals my voice
(My broken spirit)
I have no secrets to my name
(Secrets to my name)
Only the shadows hide my shame
(Only the shadows hide my shame)
And so if I lift you upon my shoulder
Inside a splintered wooden chest
To Avalon we line the streets
I only hope that you'll finally rest
I'm not ready for this
I'll lay you down
Lay you down
Don't you cry no more
I'll lay me down
Lay me down
I'd gladly lay me down
Lay me down
