In the dark We look out the window and see deep space In our dreams Space is more real than it seems awake Out in space The planets in orbit they seem lifted Are they adrift In the sea of our galaxy Milky Way Chorus: Ooh stuck in a black hole And we can't get out It's all that negative space Ooh we can't escape it We just can't get out From that negative space Why can't we live By a star that is brighter than here on Earth Get on a ship And go the portal that seems astray And we will land Away from the dark matter that we feel And we will lift From the gravity keeping us holding still Chorus In the light We cannot avoid the return eclipse Why can't we ride The continuum as if it were a ship And we will land Away from the dark matter that we feel And we will lift From the gravity keeping us holding still Chorus We can't even seem to lift it Oh ooh All that negative space That negative negative space Ooh oh That negative negative space All that negative space

My country runs with wealth and blood She say death equals love She say all the world's children want democracy Under the fist of my people and me (x2) Chorus: And oh, oh the red, white and blue Ain't she been foolin' you too Behind the gun shines liberty She drops the bomb She gets it done She say I know it's slaughter I know I kill But the point is to win And you know that I will The point is to win and you know that I will Chorus (x2) My country ain't so pretty no more The stars and stripes are rich men's whores She throws off her crown She blows me a kiss "Didn't you know that America's like this" (x2) Chorus (x2) (Guitar solo) Chorus (x2) Yeah yeah yeah... Ain't she been foolin' you Oh yeah yeah yeah Oh the red, white and blue (x2)

Will you survive now Cause I can't tell Are you alright now Will I know you are well Oh won't you give me an indication please Give me a sign now Don't you know that I care You're not a child now But you're still in his care Oh won't you think about your other options please I can tell that you're bored as hell But don't give in Just wait and see I understand that you may be leavin' the nest I must confess that it might be for the best Oh won't you figure out the right path please So just remember who has been there as well They're really close now I know you can tell Oh won't you get through these years That are your teens I can tell that you're bored as hell But you're livin' Don't you see That I can see yourself in me But I don't know If I can go on and let you be If I take that chance You may resent me at first glance But if I don't I may regret it Still I won't So just remember who has been there as well They're really close now I know you can tell Oh won't you get through these years That are your teens Oh won't you give me an indication please Oh won't you get through these years That are your teens I can tell that you're bored as hell But you're livin' I can tell that you're bored as hell But don't give in I can tell that you're bored as hell You can't give in Just wait and see

I'm lookin' freely It's all the same to me By the way You can stay anyhow Don't kid yourself Got this feelin' when I woke up today Got to thinkin' how things would change, and Looked in the mirror and my eyes were red Oh and then there was this pain in my head It's such a scramble just to live life Sometimes I wonder why do I even try, but You gotta find the love somehow You gotta find it, ooh You gotta find it, it's true You gotta find the love There may be somethin' you don't know about me They had me knockin' since I was wee, and I liked the music even way back then Just took me awhile to find it again I was a kid and always aimed to please Don't you know I wanted to believe, but I had to find the love somehow I had to find it, ooh I had to find it, it's true I had to find the love Oh, I had find it, ooh I had to find it, it's true I had to find the love And if your family is a broken as mine Don't worry 'bout it I'm sure you will be fine, 'cause You've got the spirit And can fend for yourself Just don't go and put your heart on a shelf My little sister doesn't talk to me When I see her I'm gonna give her a squeeze, 'cause We gotta find the love somehow We gotta find it, ooh We gotta find it, it's true We gotta find the love Oh, we gotta find it, ooh We gotta find it, it's true We gotta find the love Woke up this mornin' Got this feelin' today Got to thinkin' how things would change, but I know I'll find the love somehow
