The Band Perry - If I Die Young      (2010)

https://genius.com/The-band-perry-if-i-die-young-lyrics

[Intro]
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
Oh-oh, oh-oh

[Verse 1]
Lord, make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors
Oh, and life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even gray, but she buries her baby

[Refrain]
The sharp knife of a short life
Well, I've had just enough time

[Chorus]
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

[Refrain]
The sharp knife of a short life
Well, I've had just enough time

[Verse 2]
And I'll be wearing white when I come into your kingdom
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger
I've never known the lovin' of man
But it sure felt nice when he was holdin' my hand
There's a boy here in town, says he'll love me forever
Who would have thought forever could be severed by

[Refrain]
The sharp knife of a short life
Well, I've had just enough time

[Bridge]
So put on your best boys, and I'll wear my pearls
What I never did is done
A penny for my thoughts—oh no, I'll sell 'em for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I've been singin'
Funny when you're dead, how people start listenin'

[Chorus]
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, the ballad of a dove
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save 'em for a time when you're really gonna need 'em
Oh, the sharp knife of a short life
Well, I've had just enough time

[Outro]
So put on your best boys
And I'll wear my pearls

Kreator - Suicide Terrorist    (2005)

https://genius.com/Kreator-suicide-terrorist-lyrics

Suicide Terrorist
Bringing worldwide death
Random killing
Cruelty obsessed

Tool for those who know no compromise
Dictating demanding lives
Leaders breathing hell
Cities burn the day you die now

Suicide Terrorist living sacrifice
Nameless icon within blood baptized
For the victory of brand new lies
Your life shall be the price

Suicide Terrorist
Religious devide
Fearless killing
Aggression redefined

Socialists and capitalists fall
No front line and no rules to this war
Let battle comence
The world will learn the day you die now

Suicide Terrorist living sacrifice
Nameless icon within blood baptized
For the victory of brand new lies
Your life shall be the price

Eradication cleansing of the west
This fragment of hypocrisy won't last
A man made pandamonium absurd
Hysteria breeding hell on earth

Suicide Terrorist bringing worldwide death
Random killing cruelty obsessed
Tool for those who know no compromise
Dictating and demanding
One hundred thousand innocent lives

Suicide Terrorist living sacrifice
Nameless icon within blood baptized
Socialists and capitalists fall
Self imposed martyr in a holy war

The Pretty Reckless - Blame Me    (2014)

https://genius.com/The-pretty-reckless-blame-me-lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sitting in the back, baby park it or drive
Breathing out the cracks just to stay alive
Earthquake, body shake, joke is all on me
I remember when, I remember the time
Didn't have to take just to feel alive
Eyes black, head back, joke is all on me

[Chorus]
Blame all your life on me
Blame all your life on me
I gave it all for free
Blame all your life on me
All on me, all on me

[Verse 2]
Everything I wanted was in my hand
I gave it all up for a better man
Who beat me down, but on the ground I stand
Sitting in the back, baby hardly alive
I'm about to crack, kick the pedal and drive
All this time the joke was all on me

[Chorus]
Blame all your life on me
Just blame all your life on me
I gave it all for free
Blame all your life on me
All on me

[Bridge]
Hit me with the wind again, hit me with the wind I know
I have lost a friend again, I have lost a friend
I know how the story goes

[Chorus]
Blame all your life on me
Blame all your life on me
Cause I gave it all for free
So blame all your life on me
All on me, all on me
It’s all on me, all on me
All on me, oh

Gnarls Barkley - Crazy     (2006)

https://genius.com/Gnarls-barkley-crazy-lyrics

[Verse 1]
I remember when
I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that place
Even your emotions have an echo in so much space, mm
And when you're out there without care
Yeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much, mm

[Chorus 1]
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Possibly

[Verse 2]
And I hope that you are having the time of your life
But think twice, that's my only advice, mm
Come on now, who do you
Who do you, who do you, who do you think you are?
Ha, ha, ha, bless your soul
You really think you're in control?

[Chorus 2]
Well, I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
Just like me

[Verse 3]
My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on the limb
And all I remember is thinkin' I wanna be like them, mhm
Ever since I was little
Ever since I was little, it looked like fun
And it's no coincidence I've come
And I can die when I'm done

[Chorus 3]
But maybe I'm crazy
Maybe you're crazy
Maybe we're crazy
Probably

[Outro]
Mm-woah, ooh
Ooh, woo-ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh-hoo, mhm

The Misfits- Skulls   (1982)

https://genius.com/Misfits-skulls-lyrics

[Verse 1]
The corpses all hang headless and limp
Bodies with no surprises
And the blood drains down like Devils-rain
We'll bathe tonight

[Chorus]
I want your skull
I need your skull
I want your skull
I need your skull

[Verse 2]
Demon I am and face I peel
To see your skin turned inside out, 'cause
Gotta have you on my wall
Gotta have you on my wall, 'cause

[Chorus]
I want your skull
I need your skull
I want your skull
I need your skull, skull!

[Bridge]
Collect the heads of little girls and
Put 'em on my wall
Hack the heads off little girls and
Put 'em on my wall
Hey! Hey!

[Chorus]
I want your skulls
I need your skulls
I want your skulls
I need your skulls

[Chorus]
I want your skulls
I need your skulls
I want your skulls
I need your skulls, hey!

https://genius.com/First-to-eleven-wake-me-up-when-september-ends-lyrics

[Verse 1]
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends
Like my father's come to pass
Seven years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends

[Chorus]
Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are
As my memory rests
But never forgеts what I've lost
Wake me up whеn September ends

[Verse 2]
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends
Ring out the bells again
Like we did when spring began
Wake me up when September ends

[Chorus]
Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are
As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends
Like my father's come to pass
Twenty years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends

Broken Window Serenade     (2011)

https://genius.com/Whiskey-myers-broken-window-serenade-lyrics

A couple of pretty flowers
That's what I brought to you
I saw you through a broken window
With a different point of view
You had signs of depression
From a long line of sin
And your face tells a story
'Bout the places you have been
I love you so
I thought you should know

And that muddy water's flowin'
As you take my hand
Past the creek down by the holler
Through your daddy's land
I could buy you a diamond
But I cannot change the world
'Cuz I ain't got no money
You'll never be my girl no no
I thought you should know

You was gonna be a singer
And a big movie star
But you can't catch no breaks baby
And Hollywood is hard
Now you work down at the Timeout
Off 155
And you're dancing for your dollar
Just tryin' to stay alive
It hurts me so
I thought you should kno
W
You feed your addiction
With your crystal meth
And I plead for your life
As it takes you to your death
You make your deal with the devil
As your looks begin to fade
I saw you laughin' through the tears
As you slowly slipped away
I watched you go
I thought you should know
Yeah I watched you go
I thought you should know

That cold rain is pourin'
As they lay you in the grave
And I can barely recognize you
In your fragile state

No more signs of depression
From a long time ago
I throw in a pretty flower
As they slowly laid you low
It was a rose
I thought you should know
Yeah it was a rose
I thought you should know

A couple of pretty flowers
That's what I brought to you
I saw you through a broken window
With a different point of view
