Текст песни:

Boys and girls want to hear a true story?
Saturday night was at this real wild party
They had the liquor overflowing the cup
About five, six strippers trying to work for a buck
And I took one girl outside with me Her name was Loni, she went to junior high with me And said why you up in there dancing for cash?
I guess a whole lot has changed since I seen you last
She said…
1 — What would you do if your son was at home
Crying all alone on the bedroom floor
Cause he’s hungry
And the only way to feed him is to Sleep with a man for a little bit of money
And his daddy’s gone
Somewhere smoking rock now
In and out of lock down
I ain’t got a job now
So for you this is just a good time
But for me this is what I call life, mmm
Girl you ain’t the only one with a baby
That’s no excuse to be living all crazy
Then she looked me right square in the eye
And said, «Everyday I wake up hoping to die.»
She said, nigga I know about pain cause
Me and my sister ran away so my daddy couldn’t rape us Before I was a teenager
I done been through more shit you can’t even relate to Oh then she said
(What would you do?)
Get up on my feet and let go of every excuse
(What would you do?)
Cause I wouldn’t want my baby to go through what I went through
(What would you do?)
Get up on my feet and stop making up tired excuses
(What would you do?)
Girl I know if my mother could do it baby you can do it Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

And if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like You've been here before? How am I gonna be an optimist about this? How am I gonna be an optimist about this? We were caught up and lost in all of our vices In your pose as the dust settled around us And the walls kept tumbling down In the city that we love Gray clouds roll over the hills Bringing darkness from above But if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like Nothing changed at all? And if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like You've been here before? How am I gonna be an optimist about this? How am I gonna be an optimist about this? Eheu aul aul Eheu aul aul Eheu aul aul Eheu aul aul Oh where do we begin? The rubble or our sins? Oh oh where do we begin? The rubble or our sins? And the walls kept tumbling down (oh where do we begin?) In the city that we love (the rubble or our sins?) Gray clouds roll over the hills (oh where do we begin?) Bringing darkness from above (the rubble or our sins?) But if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like Nothing changed at all? And if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like You've been here before? How am I gonna be an optimist about this? How am I gonna be an optimist about this? If you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all? Eheu aul aul Eheu aul aul Eheu aul aul Eheu aul aul Eheu aul aul Eheu aul aul Eheu aul aul Eheu aul aul
  • When you got the call That no one wants to have Sick of hospitals To paper over cracks You weren’t scared at all But never turned away Well fuck ‘em, fuck ‘em, fuck ‘em, fuck ‘em all Stop Stop signs run ‘em Bills don’t pay ‘em Who would care at all? Burn your money Ain’t worth nothing on your curtain call There’ll be no bad days There’ll be no bad days There’ll be no bad days You’ll have no more bad days When you’re gone, gone There’ll be no bad days You’ll have no more bad days So your future’s lost But they can’t take your past And you said no tears ‘round here anymore But I ain’t crying That’s you crying Well fuck ‘em, fuck ‘em, fuck ‘em, fuck ‘em all ‘Cause There’ll be no bad days There’ll be no bad days There’ll be no bad days You’ll have no more bad days When you’re gone, gone There’ll be no bad days You’ll have no more bad days Stop There’ll be no bad days There’ll be no bad days There’ll be no bad days You’ll have no more bad days When you’re gone, gone There’ll be no bad days You’ll have no more bad days No, no bad days No bad days Gone, gone There’ll be no bad days You’ll have no more bad days
  • [Intro] Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh [Verse 1] Walking out into the dark, cutting out a different path Lead by a beating heart All the people of the town cast their eyes right to the ground In matters of the heart [Pre-Chorus] The night was all you had You ran into the night from all you had Found yourself a path up on the ground You ran into the night; you can't be found [Chorus 1] But this is your heart Can you feel it? Can you feel it? Pumps through your veins Can you feel it? Can you feel it? [Verse 2] Summer evening breezes blew, drawing voices deep from you Lead by your beating heart What a year and what a night, what terrifying final sights Put out your beating heart [Pre-Chorus] The night was all you had You ran into the night from all you had Found yourself a path up on the ground You ran into the night; you can't be found [Chorus 1] But, this is your heart Can you feel it? Can you feel it? Pumps through your veins Can you feel it? Can you feel it? [Bridge] If you had your gun Would you shoot it at the sky? Why--to see where it would fall Or will you come down at all? If you had your gun Would you shoot it at the sky? Why--to see where your bullet would fall Or will you come down at all? [Chorus 1] This is your heart Can you feel it? Can you feel it? Pumps through your veins Can you feel it? Can you feel it? [Chorus 2] This is your racing heart Can you feel it? Can you feel it? Pumps through your veins Can you feel it? Can you feel it?
  • «Look who’s digging their own grave» That is what they all say; you’ll drink yourself to death Look who makes their own bed, lies right down within it And what will you have left? Out on the front doorstep, drinking from a paper cup You won’t remember this Living beyond your years, acting out all their fears You feel it in your chest Your hands protect the flames From the wild winds around you Icarus is flying too close to the sun And Icarus’ life, it has only just begun It’s just begun… Standing on the cliff face, highest fall you’ll ever grace It scares me half to death Look out to the future, but it tells you nothing So take another breath Your hands protect the flames From the wild winds around you Icarus is flying Too close to the sun And Icarus’ life It has only just begun This is how it feels To take a fall Icarus is flying Towards an early grave You put up your defences when you leave You leave because you’re certain Of who you want to be You’re putting up your armour when you leave And you leave because you’re certain Of who you want to be, oh Icarus is flying Too close to the sun And Icarus’ life It has only just begun This is how it feels To take a fall Icarus is flying Towards an early grave Oh, oh Oh, oh, oh-oh oh-oh, oh, oh Oh oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh oh…
  • Aim, throw your best shot right at me 'Cause pain, I can take it easily Did you really think I’d fall to my knees Just to pray for some sweet simplicity? 'Cause whoa, you’re squeezing my heart Too hard in your bare hands, they hold too tight And whoa the air is on fire This room feels electric, caught here in your sights Power, power I will never understand the power you were holding over me Power, power Oh you had it too long, yes you had it too long Pain, just synapses firing in our brains So when you cut me, cut me deep Hurt the ones you love the most easily 'Cause in time we show our Achilles' heels 'Cause whoa, you’re squeezing my heart Too hard in your cold bare hands, they hold too tight And whoa the air is on fire This room feels electric, caught here in your sights Power, power I will never understand the power you were holding over me Power, power Oh you had it too long, yes you had it too long If you’re gonna hit me, hit me harder (Hit me, hit me harder) 'Cause you better knock me out the first time And if you’re gonna do this rip the plaster (Do this rip the plaster) If you’re gonna hit me, hit me harder than this Power, power Blows my mind to think I ever let you hold it over me Power, power I will never understand the way I let you hold it over me Power, power Well you had it too long, yes you had it too long Power, oh, oh, power, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Power, power I let you had it too long, yes you had it too long
