Get busy living or get busy dying
Your only choices here
Get busy laughing or get busy crying
I think your choice is clear
Playing opera in the prison yard
Doing taxes for the prison guards
Old men institutionalized
No such thing as easy time
They see you're bookish and they try to exploit you
That was their first mistake
Ten years of planning and their cruelty conspired
To fuel your prison break
Playing opera in the prison yard
Doing taxes for the prison guards
Old men institutionalized
No such thing as easy time
Don't you know we're all innocent here?

Who programmed your humanity?
Who decides your reality?
Trapped in this meritocracy
Erase your future history
More human than human
Emotions are confusing
So hard to explain
Can't trust whats in my brain
It's all manufactured
My memories are fractured
More human than human
They quantify your empathy
They synthesize your history
They build enhanced technology
To mask their lack of sympathy
More human than human
Emotions are confusing
So hard to explain
Can't trust whats in my brain
It's all manufactured
My memories are fractured
More human than human
All these moments lost in time.

"It's a classic movie"
It's almost 3 hours long
Tell me why it's good
I'll tell you why you're wrong
Awful people doing awful things
Then blame it all on a cocaine binge
This guy Tony he's a piece of work
You think he's cool but he's just a jerk
He killed so many people
Treats his wife like shit
He's not an antihero
He's just a dick
We waited so long
For Tony's little friend
We thought this fucking movie
Was never gonna end
Awful people doing awful things
Then blame it all on a cocaine binge
This guy Tony he's a piece of work
You think he's cool but he's just a jerk
He killed so many people
Treats his wife like shit
He even killed his best friend
He's probably proud of it
His mama tried to warn him
I guess he's just too sick
He's not an antihero
He's just a dick

Be punk do crime
Be punk do crime
Be punk do crime
Cos there's nothing left
Be punk do crime
Be punk do crime
Be punk do crime
This is so intense
Get sushi and don't pay for it
Drive 2 miles above the speed limit
Drink booze when you're 17
Dine and dash at the Dairy Queen
Be punk do crime
Be punk do crime
Be punk do crime
Cos there's nothing left
Be punk do crime
Be punk do crime
Be punk do crime
This is so intense
Loitering outside the liquor store
Return some clothes that you already wore
Sneak into an R rated show
Carjack a UFO
Be punk do crime
Be punk do crime
Be punk do crime
Cos there's nothing left
Be punk do crime
Be punk do crime
Be punk do crime
This is so intense

You better run girl, because he's coming for you
You better run girl, there's nothing else you can do
You better run girl, cos you've got nowhere to hide
You better run
You'd better stand back
Clear out
Don't stop and don't start looking
Keep out
Beat it
Cos you don't wanna know what we've got cooking
You're not invited so stay away
If you come inside here you're going to pay
You should have seen the signs cos they were everywhere
You should have seen the signs but you just didn't care
We tried to tell you so but you just didn't hear
You should have seen
You'd better stand back
Clear out
Don't stop and don't start looking
Keep out
Beat it
Cos you don't wanna know what we've got cooking
You're not invited so stay away
If you come inside here you're going to pay
So mind your business and I'll mind mine
Just keep your distance and you'll be fine

Polite society
That don't mean shit to me
I've got no need for shame
Cos all I crave is fame
Walk the walk, talk the talk
Make them think about it
Walk the walk, talk the talk
Make them sick about it
That's obscene
Yeah it’s a brand new scene
That's insane
Yeah it’s all a game
That’s too much
But we can't get enough
That's bizarre
No, it's a work of art
Walk the walk, talk the talk
Make them think about it
Walk the walk, talk the talk
Make them sick about it
Disgusted and despised
My eyes on every prize
I'm gonna take it all
So step aside when you see me coming
Walk the walk, talk the talk
Make them think about it
Walk the walk, talk the talk
Make them sick about it
That's obscene
Yeah it’s a brand new scene
That's insane
Yeah it’s all a game
That’s too much
But we can't get enough
That's bizarre
No, it's a work of art
Walk the walk, talk the talk
Make them think about it
Walk the walk, talk the talk
Make them sick about it

Lots of people want to die
Cos they're afraid to be alive
Lots of people wonder why
But it's really no surprise
She found you and you knew from the start
She saw through the frozen walls of your heart
You're head over heels
Her hands on the wheel
She's gonna drive
You're right by her side
No need to hide
Step into the light
Feeling alive
Maybe for the first time
You were dying inside
She brought you to life
At the end of hers
There's nothing to fear
You'll be alright from here
The kinds of things that we survive
The kinds of things you can't describe
These are the times that make you wise
These are the days that shape your life
She would say don't waste your time on their games
They complain she has her own way to play
You're head over heels
Her hands on the wheel
She's gonna drive
You're right by her side
No need to hide
Step into the light
Feeling alive
Maybe for the first time
You were dying inside
She brought you to life
At the end of hers
There's nothing to fear
You'll be alright from here

What makes you so different from me?
You think we're just something to see
This freak show is our family
Step right up, come see what we're made of
You'll get what you paid for
All of the cheers
All of the jeers
All of the towns
It's hard to remember where your friends are
We know who we can trust
Your lies won't save you from us
When all this settles to dust
You know you can never be one of us
Removed from the hate and the greed
Our lives are much more than they seem
Protecting our community
Don't cross us you'll see what we're made of
You'll get what you came for
All of the tears
All of the fears
All of the towns
It's hard to remember where your friends are
We know who we can trust
Your lies won't save you from us
When all this settles to dust
You know you can never be one of us

Real life doesn't do it for me
Feels like you're inclined to agree
So if you feel like living tonight
Well honey just follow my lead
Cos it sure feels like
You might like what you see
What are you into?
Where did you come from?
You're looking hot as the sun
Squeaky clean American dream, I think your time has come
Well you're a long long way from home
But that don’t mean you're alone
Break free and stick with me
If you wanna have some fun
Well if it feels right
Baby don't turn away
What if your whole life
Was leading up to today
So just listen to your body
Don't be shy honey
Don't let your mind lead the way
Just let it all go, don't spend your life being afraid
What are you into?
Where did you come from?
You're looking hot as the sun
Intergalactic beauty queen, I think your time has come
Well you're a long long way from home
But that don’t mean you're alone
Break free and stick with me
If you wanna have some fun
Well nobody ever told you it could be like this
Nobody ever told you why
Baby all it takes is just one kiss
To really show you the light
You were a good girl once but those days are gone
So wipe that tear from your eye
I got what you need
Let's go for a ride

Don't let them tell you cos you can't sell tickets
You can't be who you are
Don't let them tell you cos you can't sell records
You're no longer a star
Cos you're a life time rocker and this tour's been trucking
Since before they were born
They don't know where you've been
They don't know what you've seen
They don't know where you come from
Don't they know who you are?
We can't stop rocking so don't come knocking
If you don't know how to rock
When we start rocking there ain't no stopping
All we do is rock
Don't need no schooling cos we're too cool and
We only know how to rock
Rock is life, life is rock
Rock is rock n roll
They're gonna tell you that your songs aren't clever
You don't need to explain
They're gonna tell you that you should be better
You don't need to explain
Cos LOUDER IS BETTER
LOUDER IS BETTER
LOUDER IS BETTER
LOUDER IS BETTER
LOUDER IS BETTER
LOUDER IS BETTER
LOUDER IS BETTER
LOUDER IS BETTER
The critics will complain but
Are you not entertained?
We can't stop rocking so don't come knocking
If you don't know how to rock
When we start rocking there ain't no stopping
All we do is rock
Don't need no schooling cos we're too cool and
We only know how to rock
Rock is life, life is rock
Rock is rock n roll
