Everybody's got this disease We're born to live, we're born to die We're forced to swallow these pills and to never ask why What I've become? What can you see? That everybody, everybody, everybody's got this disease Forget what you are Forget what you

(Black coffee) Black coffee (ooh) (Black coffee) that's what I want, that's what I need Black coffee (black coffee) We're not a thing Freshly ground and fully prepared Hot black coffee, boy (black coffee) Mmm that's where it's at (mean it)

Now the kids are growing up so fast We don't know what it's for but You know it's never going to last These are different times that we're living in We'll be soldiers for you, mommy and daddy We're soldiers now in the culture war We're soldiers now, but

If you were there, beware The serpent soul pinchers Why leave her on her own? I wouldn't have said it if I would have known I don't know what it is that they want Three hundred and fifty no thank-yous, and nobody flinches Go on, girl, go on, give us

Be scared or be brave Wounded and tired and worried Memories are everything Reminiscing is for the living Pain is setting in We're sinking further Escape into thin air It's like fighting an invisible enemy What lies ahead you thought you'd never see

What were all those dreams we shared Those many years ago? What were all those plans we made now Left beside the road? Behind us in the road More than friends, I always pledged Cause friends they come and go People change, as does everything I wanted to

You know I want you It's not a secret I try to hide Say you were made to be mine No one could say what we get to be You know you want me So don't keep saying our hands are tied You claim it's not in the cards And faith is pulling you miles away And out

Fingers tap into what you were once And I'm worried that I blew my only chance While we are young And my heart Was colder when you've gone And I lost my head Under the sun You hold your truth so purely Swerve not through the minds of men

What is left when the morning comes Is the memory of a future And when my plight is done There is nothing left to hold onto There were friends waiting at my door They are gone now, for the year is new I stuck by my word And when the rains came Made it

I can see a change in you I see it coursing through your veins And it is a shame I barely recognize your face We're miles from way back when I can see a change Oh it is a shame oh you And I don't like what I'm seeing lately oh I don't like who I'm seeing
