Rock, Pop & Punk

Now the king told the boogie men
You have to let that raga drop
The oil down the desert way
Has been shakin' to the top
The sheik he drove his Cadillac
He went a' cruisnin' down the ville
The muezzin was a' standing
On the radiator grille

The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah

By order of the prophet
We ban that boogie sound
Degenerate the faithful
With that crazy Casbah sound
But the Bedouin they brought out
The electric camel drum
The local guitar picker
Got his guitar picking thumb
As soon as the shareef
Had cleared the square
They began to wail

The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah

Now over at the temple
Oh! They really pack 'em in
The in crowd say it's cool
To dig this chanting thing
But as the wind changed direction
The temple band took five
The crowd caught a wiff
Of that crazy Casbah jive

The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah

The king called up his jet fighters
He said you better earn your pay
Drop your bombs between the minarets
Down the Casbah way

As soon as the shareef was
Chauffeured outta there
The jet pilots tuned to
The cockpit radio blare

As soon as the shareef was
Outta their hair
The jet pilots wailed

The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah

He thinks it's not kosher
Fundamentally he can't take it
You know he really hates it

I saw you cry today
The pain may fill you
I saw you shy away
The pain will not kill you

You made me smile today
You spoke with many voices
We travelled miles today
Shared expressions voiceless

It has to end

Living in your head
Without anything to numb you
Living on the edge
Without anything to numb you

It has to end to begin

Began an end today
Gave and got given
You made a friend today
Kindred soul cracked spirit

It has to end to begin

Living in your head
Without anything to numb you
Living on the edge
Without anything to numb you

It had to end to begin

Living in your head
Without anything to numb you
Living on the edge
Without anything to numb you

Living in your head
Without anything to numb you
Living on the edge
Without anything to numb you

Slide your feet, create the shock
Touch another, watch it pop
Live a little, live a lot
And show me everything you've got

Oh, cause it takes some time
And just a little bit good?
Reality won't hurt for longer than it should
Just talking about pain that is there
Face the fact, don't act like you don't care

Cause you gotta stop and show it, just so I know you know it
Maybe just a little bit, oh come on admit it right now
Cause I know that it won't be over till it's gone
So let it be gone

And show me everything you've got
I know you're scared
But let your walls just drop
You gotta take that step, and your heart, just let it pour out

Now I know it's hard to be something that you don't think you are
But it's hard for me to even try to understand why you are beating your own heart
'Cause you gotta try, just try to be honest
And I will be honest all these things that I say
And I'll listen clear, whether brave or you're modest, I'm here
Don't hold back, don't hesitate, don't disappear

And show me everything you've got
I know you're scared
But let your walls just drop
You gotta take that step, and your heart, just let it pour out

And show me everything you've got
I know you're scared
But it's time for you to stop
You gotta take that step, and your heart, just let it make sound

So hey, just let it pour out
Don't let your past begin to let you down
Just sing it out, just let it make sound
And as it will hurt, it will be healed and found
'Cause it's normal that emotional pasts can spawn
Emotionless dads, mothers, and nation's flags
So show your face, no don't be afraid,
No don't be afraid to show your face

After all these things I've learned
Bad things I do and don't deserve
Can easily just shape my life
Or shape the way I start to die

No, cause it's up to me
If I dwell much longer than I should
And I'll hold my tears for years thinkin' it's doing me good
So just start right now, just make a vow, you'll let your heart just sing it out, sing it out

And show me everything you've got
I know you're scared
But let your walls just drop
You gotta take that step, and your heart, just let it pour out

And show me everything you've got
I know you're scared
But it's time for you to stop
You gotta take that step, and your heart, just let it make sound
