I spend a lot of time planning the demise of various institutions and that's a problem
And I wonder why I bother to try and change anything but myself now
I think a lot about and I cast a little doubt on my own absolution as a solution
And I wonder why I try to at all, just give me a break now
The lights are so bright in here
The air is so cold
How heavy is this atmosphere
What am I doing here alone
I've been cooking up a plot and I'm liking it a lot
It would solve all of my problems or what's left of them
And I can't see why you'd even want to stop me
I can't figure it out now
I scheming up the ways I'm gonna make them pay for their insults and injuries and their perjuries
And I wonder why I even try at all, just give me a break now
The lights are so bright in here
The air is so cold
How heavy is this atmosphere
What am I doing here alone

You try to walk down any street, but there's trouble on every corner
You can't trust anyone you meet, they might be packing heat on 'em
Bullets over Brighton Park and it's all right
Bullets over Brighton Park and it's all right
No one is safe out here, no one my, dear
No such thing as security, no one is free
You can't hang out in a park, don't matter if it's day or dark
Stray cats OK, stray bullet no way, just a cap out on a lark
Bullets over Brighton Park and it's all right
Bullets over Brighton Park and it's all right
No one is safe out here, no one my, dear
No such thing as security, no one is free
Bullets over Brighton Park and it's all right

You got 24 hours and 24 days
You’ve had 24 years now can you change your ways
There’s been 24 things that you forgot to do
And there’s 24 reasons that you know it’s true
All your life you’ve seen trouble and strife
You’ve seen anger and pain, you’re gonna see them again
All I do is keep my eye on you
Do Do Do Doot do do do
You’ve had a change of heart
I think you left your mark
They’re taking it away
For how long I can not say
What else have we got?
We got hope but not a lot
Where else can we go?
Who else can we know?
They’re taking it away x4

I've got my roller coaster days x2
I've got my ups and downs and around the ways
I've got my roller coaster days
I've got my elevator days x2
I've got my ups and downs and jobs that do not pay
I've got my elevator days x2
I've got my helicopter days x2
I've got my ups and downs and sharp and spinning blades
I've got my helicopter days
I've got my long and lonely nights
I've got my long and sleepless nights
I've got my tossing, turning nocturnal fights
I've got my long and lonely nights

In your shadow, there is a place to hide

When I was younger than today
I didn't care what anybody would say
Well piss off and kiss off is what I would say
Now that I'm older, don't feel that way
I am happy to be here, sir
And I am happy to see you, sir, well OK
When I was younger than today
I didn't care how much I would pay
I'd drink this and smoke that and miss day after day
Time flies when you're wasted, wasting away
I am happy to be here, sir
And I am happy to see you, sir, well OK
