Shinedown Lyrics : Sound Of Madness

Lyrics


Yeah, I get it,
You're an outcast.
Always under attack.
Always coming in last,
Bringing up the past.
No one owes you anything.
I think you need a shotgun blast,
A kick in the ass,
So paranoid. . .
Watch your back!!

Oh my, here we go...

Another lose cannon gone bi-polar
Slipped down, couldn't get much lower.
Quicksand's got no sense of humor.
I'm still laughing like hell.
You think that by crying to me
Looking so sorry that I'm gonna believe,
You've been infected by a social disease.
Well, then take your medicine.

[Chorus:]
I created the Sound of Madness.
Wrote the book on pain.
Somehow I'm still here,
To explain,
That the darkest hour never comes in the night.
You can sleep with a gun.
When you gonna wake up and fight... for yourself?

I'm so sick of this tombstone mentality,
If there's an afterlife,
Then it'll set you free.
But I'm not gonna part the seas
You're a self-fulfilling prophecy.
You think that crying to me,
Looking so sorry that I'm gonna believe,
You've been infected by a social disease.
Well, then take your medicine.

[Chorus]

I created the Sound of Madness.
Wrote the book on pain.
Somehow I'm still here,
To explain,
That the darkest hour never comes in the night.
You can sleep with a gun.
When you gonna wake up...
When you gonna wake up and fight...

[Chorus]

When you gonna wake up and fight... for yourself? [x3]

Shinedown Lyrics : Energy

Lyrics


You make it up as you go along.
Why pretend that you're something that you're not?
I believe in you and always will.
Ever since you told me you're frill inside.
Emotional mood swings soon collide.
Now gather up all your tenacity.
Take my hand 'cause I'm settin' you free.

Who cares?
He's there to stare and
Tell you how to look.
I'm not even sure they know
You by name.
Who cares?
He's there to share what they
Think of you.
Everybody in there plays the
Same fucking games.

[Chorus]
Alright, alright, alright,
You're such an energy.
Alright, alright, alright,
You're such an energy.
Let me see your fire,
Put your fist up in the air.

Alive,
Thats how I want you to feel tonight.
Live,
You're only here once, so do it well.
Find your own way to rise up and
Give 'em hell.
There is no reason to wonder if you
Should go.
Tell them you can't be bottled,
So break your silence and tell them
Who you are.
'Cause they're all witness to a shooting star.

Who cares?
He's there to stare and
Tell you how to look.
I'm not even sure they know
You by name.
Who cares?
He's there to share what they
Think of you.
Everybody in there plays the
Same fucking games.

[Chorus]
Alright, alright, alright,
You're such an energy.
Alright, alright, alright,
You're such an energy.
Let me see your fire,
Put your fist up in the air.

Tell me, are you feeling strong enough?
Tell me, 'cause all eyes are on you now.

Who cares?
He's there to stare and
Tell you how to look.
I'm not even sure they know
You by name.
Who cares?
He's there to share what they
Think of you.
Everybody in there plays the
Same fucking games.

[Chorus]
Alright, alright, alright,
You're such an energy.
Alright, alright, alright,
You're such an energy.
Let me see your fire,
Put your fist up in the air.

You're such an energy.
Woah, you're an energy.
Yeah, you're such an energy.

Shinedown Lyrics : Son Of Sam

Lyrics


Paint it black and white if you like,
The story's still the same.
A generation built on a lie, that
Every one of us is safe.
Paint it black and white if you like,
If it keeps you sane.
You know the world wont just stay right.
So tell me, who's to blame?

And I will catch you, but who might
Break the fall?

[Chorus]
Goddamn, I might be the son of sam.
The only child of a holy man.
I stand alone for all to see,
'Cause they ain't never seen a war like me.
(Goddamn) Son of sam. [x2]

Burning buildings fall apart.
Send the best, and send their love.
Turn away. Goodbye, goodnight.
Go to sleep, now don't you cry.
Are you afraid your life means less?
Are you concearned you might be next?
Its much too soon for me to tell,
If you're in heaven or in hell.

And I will catch you, but who might
Break the fall?

[Chorus]
Goddamn, I might be the son of sam.
The only child of a holy man.
I stand alone for all to see,
'Cause they ain't never seen a war like me.
(Goddamn) Son of sam. [x2]
(Goddamn)

Your ceiling falling piece by pieces,
Raining down like concrete.
Just surrender, and remember what
You've done to me.
Look now, over your shoulder.
No, its not over. Its just beginning.
And now light the fire on ending.

[Chorus]
Goddamn, I might be the son of sam.
The only child of a holy man.
I stand alone for all to see,
'Cause they ain't never seen a war like me -

Goddamn, I might be the son of sam.
The only child of a holy man.
I stand alone for all to see,
'Cause they ain't never seen a war like me.

Son of sam. [x2]
'Cause they ain't never seen a war like me.
Son of sam. [x2]
'Cause they ain't never seen a war like me.
Son of sam. [x2]
'Cause they ain't never seen a war like me.
Son of sam. [x2]
