Billy Talent – When I Was A Little Girl

Another “F” again I fret
Another cocky hypocrite
And another dirty look from a passer by
Kiddy porn and lunatics and all the things that make me sick
Another suicide from a sad rock star

So get the fuck out of my face
And disappear without a trace
You annoying little prick
I’ll reach into my bag of tricks
And pull out a hand grenade
Your machoism fades away
But I will not pull out the pin
Because that’s mean!

With judgement day not far away
You’re surfing all your days away
I don’t know who to blame
Is it me or is it you
Violent death and viruses
and lack thereof of consciousness
Another shitty song on the radio… Let’s go!

I’ll kick the teeth out of your face
I killed the cat there’s no more chase
You push on me I’ll push you back
So come on girls let’s go attack
Cause this is it I’ve had my fill
Don’t find yourself inside a pill
But I will not pull out my gun
Cause I don’t own one!

Why
Can’t
You
Let me be… Said

Why can’t you just let me be?!
Why can’t you just let me be?!
Why can’t you just let me be?!
WHY! CAN’T! YOU! LET! ME!


Billy Talent – Waiting Room

I am a patient boy
I wait, I wait, I wait, I wait
My time is like water down a drain
Everybody’s moving,
Everybody’s moving,
Everybody’s moving, moving, moving, moving
Please don’t leave me to remain
In the waiting room
I don’t want the news
I cannot use it
I don’t want the news
I won’t live by it
Sitting outside of town
Everybody’s always down
Tell me why?
Because… they can’t get up
Ahhh… Come on and get up
Come on and get up
But I don’t sit idly by
Ahhh…
I’m planning a big surprise
I’m gonna fight for what I want to be
I won’t make the same mistakes
Because I know
Because I know how much time that wastes
And Function
Function is the key
To the the waiting room
I don’t want the news
I cannot use it
I don’t want the news
I won’t live by it
Sitting outside of town
Everybody’s always down
Tell me why?
Because… they can’t get up
Ahhh… Come on and get up
Up for the waiting room
Sitting in the waiting room
Ahhh…
Sitting in the waiting room
Ahhh…
Sitting in the waiting room
Ahhh…
Sitting in the waiting room
Ahhh…
Tell me why?
Because… they can’t get up


Billy Talent – Ever Fallen In Love (With Someone You Shouldn’t)

You spurn my natural emotions
You make me feel like dirt
And I’m hurt
And if I start a commotion
I run the risk of losing you
And that’s worse

Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
You shouldn’t've fallen in love with

I can’t see much of a future
Unless we find out what’s to blame
What a shame
And we won’t be together much longer
Unless we realize that we are the same

Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
You shouldn’t've fallen in love with

You disturb my natural emotions
You make me feel like dirt
And I’m hurt
And if I start a commotion
I’ll only end up losing you
And that’s worse

Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
You shouldn’t've fallen in love with

Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
You shouldn’t've fallen in love with
Fallen in love with
Ever fallen in love with someone
You shouldn’t've fallen in love with


Billy Talent – Beach Balls

“Do it again”
She said to me.
So I nailed my hand to the baseboard floor.
Hysterically,
Laughing at me,
She begged the question and I begged for more.
Now I water,
The thorn you rammed,
Deep into my side watch it fertalize.
‘Cause you shoved your finger,
Right down my throat,
And you made me puke up all of my pride.

Pop the beach balls,
Burn the photos,
C-4 your safe,
And you’ll never grow old.
So get out of dodge,
And become a thought,
Cause once you’re a thought, hopefully you’re forgot.

If we break up,
Don’t write a song that would,
Drag my name through the shit, the mud.
‘Cause I’ve seen some solid swimmers who drowned,
When you unleashed the dam and cause the flood.
But with free choice,
There comes freewill.
And I’m so happy she decided to leave,
‘Cause now I’m alone.
The demons come home
And now my pen is rolling up it’s sleeve.

Pop the beach balls,
Burn the photos,
C-4 your safe,
And you’ll never grow old.
So get out of dodge,
And become a thought,
‘Cause once you’re a thought, hopefully you’re forgot.

Pop the beach balls,
Burn the photos,
C-4 your safe,
And you’ll never grow old.
So get out of dodge,
And become a thought,
‘Cause once you’re a thought, hopefully you’re forgot.

Because my morals have begun to decay,
And all my friends have the same thing to say.
They say that good times have faded away.
They say that their all worried about me.
‘Cause I feed birds in the cemetery,
And I rake leaves off the grass in my grave.
Because my memory lane is now paved.
(Nothing wrong)
My memory lane is now paved.
(There’s nothing wrong)
My memory lane is now paved.
My memory lane is now paved.
(There’s nothing wrong)
But now my memory’s back and there’s nothing wrong!
There’s nothing wrong.
There’s nothing wrong.
There’s nothing wrong.
There’s nothing wrong.
I said there’s nothing wrong!
There’s nothing wrong.
There’s nothing wrong.
There’s nothing wrong.


Billy Talent – Don’t Need To Pretend

Swimming in the dark
We bound to drift apart
And I just can’t go on
Pretending we’re in love

We play with matches in the rain but never learned
We try to light it but the fire never burned

You thought that love was just a casting call
(Well it’s) our turn to quit before the curtain falls
Sing out!

Don’t need to pretend to love me
You don’t need to pretend to want me
You don’t need to pretend to need me
We just never were meant to

Am I wrong? Am I right?
Or have I lost my mind?
Lost my mind

Now I dance around her heart
Like an actor plays the part

I hit the stage and I get blinded by the lights
I read the script but I just can’t recite the lines

You thought that love was just a casting call
(Well it’s) our turn to quit before the curtain falls
Sing out!

Don’t need to pretend to love me
We just never were meant to ever be
You don’t need to pretend to love me
We just never were meant to

Am I wrong? Am I right?
Or have I lost my mind?
Am I wrong? Am I right?
Or have I lost my mind?

You thought that love was just a casting call
(Well it’s) our turn to quit before the curtain falls
Sing out!

Don’t need to pretend to love me
You don’t need to pretend to want me
You don’t need to pretend to need me
We just never were meant to

Am I wrong? Am I right?
Or have I lost my mind?
Sing out!

Don’t need to pretend to love me
We just never were meant to ever be
You don’t need to pretend to love me
We just never were meant to

Am I wrong? Am I right?
Or have I lost my mind?
So get on with your life
‘Cause we’re just wasting time

Am I wrong? Am I right?
Or have I lost my mind?


Billy Talent – Bloody Nails And Broken Hearts

Lay down, lay down with your drunken fools,
I never thought you could be so cruel,
And all the rumors I heard were true,
You had another man in our room,
Peel off the bandages from the wounds,
I still have plenty of scars to prove,
I’m sick of covering up the truth,
So now I’m taking it back from you!

From the start, drew a target on my heart,
So you can throw your poison darts,
You’ll never kill, never kill.

You left a trail right from the start,
Of bloody nails and broken hearts,
And you keep tearing them apart,
With bloody nails and broken hearts.

Now I know fairy tales don’t come true,
And Cinderella don’t fit this shoe,
Some day I’ll get back the love I gave,
Some day you’ll pay for this mess you made!

From the start, drew a target on my heart,
So you can throw your poison darts,
You’ll never kill, never kill? never kill

You left a trail right from the start,
Of bloody nails and broken hearts,
And you keep tearing them apart,
With bloody nails and broken hearts.

You left a trail right from the start
Of bloody nails and broken hearts,
And I bet you thought I’d miss your bitter kiss!

Your bitter kiss,
Your bitter kiss,
I’ll never miss

So now I’m taking it back from you,
(So now I’m taking it back from you)
Yeah now I’m taking it back from you.

You left a trail right from the start,
Of bloody nails and broken hearts,
And you keep tearing them apart,
With bloody nails and broken hearts.

You left a trail right from the start,
Of bloody nails and broken hearts,
And I bet you thought I’d miss your bitter kiss!


Billy Talent – Definition of Destiny

Won’t you stop, take a breath
Find a moment to reflect
On the pure and simple choices that we fail to see

From the worst to the best
From the east coast to the west
On a never-ending quest to end our misery

So cut to the chase, it’s time to escape
Before it’s too late
Yeah pick up the pace, catch up with fate
It’s slipping away
So get off my road, no I won’t be told
‘Cause I got my own (definition of destiny)
Yeah take back control, and don’t let it go,
The future’s unknown (definition of destiny)
(definition of destiny)

Punch the clock to a own
While our lives are put on hold
When did all our childhood dreams begin to disappear?

Well a long time ago
We had passion, we had goals
Why is life so set in stone it doesn’t have to be?

So cut to the chase, it’s time to escape
Before it’s too late
Yeah pick up the pace, catch up with fate
It’s slipping away
So get off my road, no I won’t be told
‘Cause I got my own (definition of destiny)
Yeah take back control, and don’t let it go,
The future’s unknown (definition of destiny)

o get off my road, no I won’t be told
‘Cause I got my own (definition of destiny)
Yeah take back control, and don’t let it go,
The future’s unknown.

Along the way, we lost our way
So will you change or stay the same?
So in between, reality
And fantasy is destiny

So cut to the chase, it’s time to escape
Before it’s too late
Yeah pick up the pace, catch up with fate
It’s slipping away
So get off my road, no I won’t be told
‘Cause I got my own (definition of destiny)
Yeah take back control, and don’t let it go,
The future’s unknown (definition of destiny)

Yeah take back control, and don’t let it go,
The future’s unknown (definition of destiny)
‘Cause I got my own
Yeah I got my own
Yeah I got my own(definition of destiny)
(definition of destiny)
(definition of destiny)
(definition of destiny)


Billy Talent – Sudden Movements

Well I’m scared of my reflection
Is it mine or is it yours?
And I swear I hear the knockin’
But there’s no one at the door.

Don’t think I’m losing my perspective
‘Cause I know one thing for sure
They’ve been watching, they’ve been listening
Every whisper, every word

Your sudden movements, sudden movements
Gonna give a soul away
No sudden movements, sudden movements
Or they’ll blow our soul away

Dare I find my information
Who’s the black sheep of the herd?
I have mean guardian of angels
And they’ll get what they deserve

So lock your children in the basement
Keep a raffle by the door
Don’t be afraid of my intentions
‘Cause I’m more afraid of yours

Your sudden movements, sudden movements
Gonna give a soul away
No sudden movements, sudden movements
Or they’ll blow our soul away

Your sudden movements, sudden movements
Gonna give a soul away
No sudden movements, sudden movements
Or they’ll blow our soul away

Blow our soul away
Blow our soul away

Your sudden movements, sudden movements
Gonna give a soul away
No sudden movements, sudden movements
Or they’ll blow our soul away

Your sudden movements, sudden movements
Gonna give a soul away
No sudden movements, sudden movements
Or they’ll blow our soul away


Billy Talent – Turn Your Back

And when the clock strikes 12, tell me where you gonna be?
Cleaning up the mess we’ve made or watching your TV?
And if you have to ask, then you don’t have a clue,
There’s snow in Arizona while they’re bombing in Beirut!

I hope some day…when i’m dead and gone,
We learn to right…everything that’s wrong,
With loving hands…turn sick to strong,
Our time will tell…if life goes on, on, on, on, on

When the storm hits your front door, with a roar you can’t ignore,
You run, run, away! but there’s no place to hide, mate!
When the days turn into night, you don’t got no chance to fight,
‘Cause you’re too late! so kiss your ass goodbye, mate!

It just don’t make no sense, there’s a million mouthes to feed,
We got military action over monetary need
And you can turn your back, or you can plant the seed
You can choose compassion over universal greed

I hope some day… when i’m dead and gone,
We learn to right… everything that’s wrong,
With loving hands… turn sick to strong,
Our time will tell… if life goes on, on, on, on, on

When the storm hits your front door, with a roar you can’t ignore,
You run, run, away! but there’s no place to hide, mate!
When the days turn into night, you don’t got no chance to fight,
‘Cause you’re too late! so kiss your ass goodbye, mate!

And you can turn your back, but it won’t go away
And you don’t look scared, but you should be afraid
You can shut your mouth, but you still have a say
And you just don’t care, for tomorrow, today

And you can turn your back, but it won’t go away
And you don’t look scared, but you should be afraid
You can shut your mouth, but you still have a say
And you just don’t care, for tomorrow, today

Well no way! way! No way, no way, no way, no way!

When the storm hits your front door, with a roar you can’t ignore,
You run, run, away! but there’s no place to hide, mate!
When the days turn into night, you don’t got no chance to fight,
‘Cause you’re too late! so kiss your ass goodbye, mate!


Billy Talent – Diamond On A Landmine

Woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh
Woah-oh-oh

Slapped my face, slammed the door
A dozen roses lay on the floor
I saw her friends and I was told
She blocked my number from her cell phone
You said we were meant to be
Now this obsession is killing me
Until I have a heart attack
I’ll keep on trying to win you back

Alone at last,
I can’t wait till we’re alone at last
All i wanted was a second chance, second chance
To hold you in my arms at last

Forever, forever
I’ll walk a thousand miles
Just to tell her, to tell her
Our love is still alive
And I’ll never, I’ll never
I’ll never let it die
Well you’d better watch your step
She’s a diamond on a landmine

I’m not so sure about this word
But she kept calling me insecure
I tried to quit but there’s no use
Cause I’m addicted to her abuse
She’s in control of everything
I’m just a puppet, she pulls my strings
Denying truth, I’ll test my fate
And keep on playing this wicked game

Alone at last,
I can’t wait till we’re alone at last
All i wanted was a second chance, second chance
To hold you in my arms at last

Forever, forever
I’ll walk a thousand miles
Just to tell her, to tell her
Our love is still alive
And I’ll never, I’ll never
I’ll never let it die
Well you’d better watch your step
She’s a diamond on a landmine
Better watch your step
She’s a diamond on a landmine
Better watch your step
She’s a diamond on a landmine
Waiting to explode

We’re dancing on thin ice before
Frozen from the winter’s cold
And if it were to crack below
I’d never let you go

Alone at last,
I can’t wait till we’re alone at last
All i wanted was a second chance, second chance
To hold you in my arms at last

Forever, forever
I’ll walk a thousand miles
Just to tell her, to tell her
Our love is still alive
And I’ll never, I’ll never
I’ll never let it die
Well you’d better watch your step
She’s a diamond on a landmine
Better watch your step
She’s a diamond on a landmine
Better watch your step
She’s a diamond on a landmine
Waiting to explode

Better watch your step
She’s a diamond on a landmine
Better watch your step
She’s a diamond on a landmine
Better not touch
She’s a diamond on a landmine
Better to forget
She’s a diamond on a landmine
Waiting to explode
