THE SAFES - Lyrics

FAMILY JEWELS

Not To Keep
You got your mind made up you made the call and I don’t make the cut
You’re finally doing well you’re better now and I’m still stuck in hell
Now that I see your shallow end there’s nothing deep
You claim to have class but babe you sold it cheap
Tell me how is it that you fall asleep
Knowing there are promises you made just not to keep
You’re always on my back you won’t let up it’s my turn to attack
Can’t get back all that time you wasted walked away and robbed me blind.
Now that I see your shallow end there’s nothing deep
You claim to have class but babe you sold it cheap
Tell me how is it that you fall asleep Knowing there are promises you made just not to keep

Do You Apply
Someone that you may know ends up without a home so oh no
It’s coming back to me sweet silent victory
Don’t tell me I told you so My pain’s something you’ll never know
Do you want funny faces little boy staring at you in the traffic wasted and destroyed
Do you do you apply If so do you know why
Does everything seem so meaningless through your eyes
There’s only fun love and happiness big surprise
You won’t you won’t survive This world will eat you alive
Someone that you may know ends up without a home so oh no
It’s coming back to me sweet silent victory
Don’t tell me I told you so My pain’s something you’ll never know

Good
Let’s give em something they can hate together something they don’t understand
Turn their lust to painful pleasure and be their favorite brand
Make millions filling brains with garbage and spewing ignorant slang
The kids are fools and their easy targets who’ll pay to play in the gang
You blame it on your childhood your parents and your neighborhood
Don’t mean you can’t make what’s bad good
You think you got it with your mind on money truth is you just don’t care
Feed your family preaching hate is funny Admit it you wouldn’t dare
Always talking about your life of problems solutions you can’t see
Your past is troubled you forgot about them but like you they want to be

Memory Lane
I’ll dream of you a sunny day Probably in the month of May
When I trip down memory lane
Out we’ll go walking in the rain Live again without the pain
When I trip down memory lane

Hook
You go see a movie all about a cartoon or a t.v. show
And the band you go see learned their songs off the radio
Give birth to advertisement status-symbol property in human crop
Think to yourself you’ve finally found the way you’re at the top
But you never take a look ‘til you’re coerced by the crook
And they caught you with their Hook Hook
Should I point fingers when the faults of my authority equals success
When I know if I just played along you’d be impressed
Your content or better yet as your concerned completely satisfied
and convinced that there is something I don’t realized

Hole
Find myself lost in a place I never thought I’d be in
Never thought it cost so much to be without a pot to pee in
Fell in a trap that slowly closed on me
It’s the same crap that once made me feel free
And after all this time now I gotta climb
Outta hole that hands which dug are mine
Can’t say I knew just what I was getting myself into
But it’s all true what they say about putting that stuff in you
Made me feel up when I was hanging ‘round
But now I see it only brought me down

Impossibility
If nothing’s impossible I guess that it’s my fault
Speeding life comes to a crashing hault
Try not to feel everything
Surrounded by a wall of unshakeable memories
The only curse is if to dream
Trapped in a world outside the safeties of reality
Now is it only me Well I want out Impossibility
You can change the world keep a good job get a degree
Cuz these things come easy to me
If someone’s unstoppable got something up their sleeve
Concerned with nothing more than what you achieve
There must be more to do than sleep
Hard to get started when you’re on your back more than your feet
Give in and start to believe because there’s nothing
If you don’t have everything you need

Mystery
I’ve got to get away now Can’t wait another day now
It’s all a mystery That’s all it is to me

Sing Along
This is my song Make me feel strong
Won’t last too long but now it’s on and I like the way I feel
No hit parade but that’s okay
It’s silly great now concentrate can you feel is it real
I’m only gonna ask you this one time
Do you dig your song as much as I dig mine
Now I can’t say I think that nothing’s wrong
But I’m glad that I can say this is my song

Better Things To Do
I’m really tired of talking to you
You’re only interested when you are being listened to
If all the things you say are true
You’re gonna die before you live the life you wanted to
You reached the heights your dreams came true
And this is why I’m telling you good luck goodbye I’ve better things to do
Then you on the other hand
Scares me to think of all the listening that you can stand
If you think all you hear is true
You’re gonna die before you live the life you wanted to
You reached the heights your dreams came true
And this is why I’m telling you good luck goodbye I’ve better things to do
