Pennywise A Word From The Wise 1992 1: Final Chapters 2: Covers 3: Who Needs Depression 4: No Way Out 5: Gone 1: Final Chapters Outside my window I see trouble. On the faces on the people in the streets below. One gets a feeling discontentment. Why there is anger I don't know. Or is it always in my mind. Or my vivid imagination. Creating this monster at my side. Hello, hello to who's ever out there. Can you please give us some more time. Or is this the final chapter. Final chapter of the world. So many times, so many chances. So many roadblocks I see on the way. I think a new start is in order. It's time to build a new highway. Fight, fight, fight. The end result is that we'll all Die, die, die. Generations will wonder Why, why, why. Why we kissed our ass good Bye, bye, bye. I'll see you on the other side. Why there should be so many answers. I'll see you on the other side. 2: Covers I'd rather stay in bed all day. In bed with you lying closely right by my side. With no one to make us take one step outside. Under the covers with you. I'd rather pull the sheets over our heads. So we wouldn't have to face the day, no way. Just lie in bed naked. 3: Who Needs Depression When the world's coming down like an anvil on your head. You must make it, you can take it, if you just kick back. It's all part of living this surviving dread. But tell me when all's done and said. Who needs depression. You can hit the bottle or hit something instead. You can take the bottle break it over someone's head. Take your time, keep peace of mind, and smile bigtime. 4: No Way Out So many times you'd like to just leave behind. But there's no way out, no way out. In my eyes, I see what you get. You take a chance you get regret. There's no round about way or way out. There's nothing to talk about. Toying with thge idea that you'd never get caught. Caught red handed, now you're branded. And now you're gone, what went wrong. I'll remain here, I'll carry on. 5: Gone I'm falling down, I'm staggering I'm here and then I'm gone And if you try to find me I'm nowhere to be found I'm in somebody's shadow In someone else's dream I'm in your girlfriend's mind As funny as it seems I'm here and then I'm gone Sometimes I pass right through you When you're down at memory lane Sometimes it's only me in there That causes you great pain When you gonna realize When you gonna face All you and me went through was A pleasant little phase I'm gonna find you When you least expect me to You'll never find me Unless I want to be Pennywise - Unknown Road Back To Index Warning !!!: these lyrics are COPYRIGHT protected. Pennywise Unknown Road 1993 Pennywise is: Jim - Vocals Fletcher - Guitar Jason - Bass Byron - Drums 1: Unknown Road 2: Homesick 3: Time To Burn 4: It's Up To Me 5: You Can Demand 6: Nothing 7: Vices 8: City Is Burning 9: Dying To Know 10: Tester 11: Try To Conform 12: Give And Get 13: Clear Your Head 1: Unknown Road "...two roads diverged in a wood, and i - i took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference." r. frost So you're currently content with your surroundings You possess a vague sense of accomplishment Did you give all you had to give or did you give conservative Do you think that all the years that passed you by we're all well spent Pictures of everyday life spark memories And certain things pull triggers in your mind What would be different now if you were there than here. What passages, what fantasies lie just beyond the unknown road Do you know, the miracles that could be found they're waiting down the unknown road, so it goes A few more cornerstones that could be yours Ever get the thought you were mistaken? Ever think about the stones you've left un-turned? More chances slip away with every passing day, suffering with cold You're so afraid you might get burned. And wondering can take it's toll yeah And wondering you can rack your skull And wondering can send your imagination up a tree Wondering what fantasies lie just beyond the unknown road Time is right now of the essence Time is right to learn your lessons Time is all that you have left things you've contemplated the unknown road is one 2: Homesick I walk down my old street Used to be home for me and now there's spraypaint on the walls I see a house that at one time looked nice but now it is abandoned There's nothing left at all So why, why must we let our chances fly When oh when oh will we ever see hope again Why, why, why is it hard to say goodbye Well oh well oh at least I can still remember when our city used to be such a beautiful place Now you can't walk down the street the same and think you'll see the same My hands are in the air It makes no sense to me I cannot explain this tragety My first trip to city I remember thinking that the buildings stood so tall and when I see that my old stomping ground is just a ravaged they seem so small now rather feel like I'm living in someone else's-dream It dosen't seem this is the way that things should be it's like a dark cloud swallowed up humanity Whatever it is it is be-yond-me Homesickness is the flu that surrounds me A virus spreading through the street It astounds me Homesickness 3: Time To Burn Time - never bothered me till I saw it slipping slowly away from me and time took my years away Give me back my memories of a better day and now I've got a lot to lose I've got a lot to learn and no time to burn Rain - spoiled a sunny day Till I saw those cleansing drops took the dirt away and change always frightened me till I changed into the man I always knew I could be 4: It's Up To Me Held down by a heavy sky I followed rules and I don't know why Ignored the options that I could not see Indecision had a hold of me Followed the path that was forced by fate I never saw the hour was getting late I never cared what I turned out to be I sensed something wrong now it's up to me I got the chance now I'm gonna take it I don't know I might not even make it I'll follow rules that are made up by me I wasted time too long now it's up to me It's up to me-to be all I can be (R.W. Emerson) It's up to me Looked to the past for some history Looked for the sum of humanity A list of laws they passed down through time A ruthless plot to control my mind I gotta make a plan for myself Can't look to you can't look to anybody else Only this way am I truly free I wasted time too long now it's up to me all the rules that I see have taken old inside of me. So much to lose so many kinds One thing comes to mind-time I gotta make a plan for my life I gotta take the time to get it right I gotta be the person I gotta be I gotta make a plan and now it's up to me 5: You Can Demand Hey listen people, I'd like to say A million minds have a choice but they choose to walk tis way So when it's time to make your decisions true remember who it is you're fighting for it's you No one can tell you how you shuld feel inside What's right from wrong is a choice you make up in your own mind think you shoud, well you got time No matter what the case may be You can demand. You can demand what you want and take it you can command all the rules and take them you can demand And when the times your wasted to do more just keep you head out of the clouds and keep your feet on the floor And when you think that at times it's tough to do Remember who it is you're looking out for you Don't let them trivk you with fancy words As long as you're able to see through the lines you'll be just fine Think you should hurry well you got time No matter what the cause may be you can demand You can demand what you need and I'll tell you if you can't understand this way of life your way of living how you don't like won't suffice, look at all the things you have then decide it's your life and realize you can demand. 6: Nothing Life - I was a lonely man with my lead boots nailed to the floor dancing the best that I can Sweets-took the pain away I saw a cold death at the end of the line so I started to pray Up towards the sky but knew no one would answer me. I asked the trees why they grew toward the sun. I asked the clouds and they rained down bad luck on me Oh my god why hath thou forsaken me I asked the teachers who taught me rules to obey. I asked the gaes and prophets through time. Came up nothing but a hole where my faith had laid no reason, no rite......nothing feels fine tonight crime it was a price to pay I found the hole world as guilty as I It took the danger away Hate-it was so easy to do You just directed all your anger at fear and then you follow it through I went to churches and schools to decide for me. I went to prophets to plea for my life. Went to my parents who gave this dark life to me. I don't need to I don't want to. I don't want to wonder why. If you don't want to hear my problems well you can fuck off and die. You do not know. Dont say you know. Give me some answers fpor my life.... now got some explaining to do I've got to come up with solutions in time before my future is through Hope - for my new promise today Still I got this strane feeling that time is slowly slipping away... 7: Vices You never listen you never know never the lender you always follow cause it's you doing it you say it's alright to yourself you're lying I didn't wanna see you dying before you know it you're all alone your can is empty you feel such sorrow you think that using all your best friends is alright to yourself you're lyin' can't you see it can't you feel that your vices are ruining your life and on and on, your vices are ruining your life your mind your vices are ruining your life why can't you stop that vice from ending your life you're always missing you're always slow used to be so deep now you're so shallow another friend out there no I don't think it's right your soul is frying can't you hear your mother crying take your medicine thru your nose fine today but what about tomorrow say it does not control you but think I might you've hit rock bottom can't you use it can't you see that you're telling lies and for help you are crying I keep on knocking but there's nobody home you're telling lies, living high, now you're dying if you want somebody's help why don't you answer the door. 8: City Is Burning society reflects tonight an ugly mirror showing an animal instinct a twisted way to wrong a right how many dead before the sun comes arising lock your doors and close your eyes sit back and watch TV while the problem grows outside lock your doors and shut off your mind while you are safe inside the city is burning tonight blinding lights burn in the sky a mass of shadows darkness usually hides animals out of there cage (who will) burn their own environment without any shame so your guest is as good as mine will any good come out of this we'll know in time until that time let's not regress (let's learn) our lessons before there's another uprising 9: Dying To Know I'll carry the torch - feed off my flame love is the hottest word for me - it knows my name and your spirit cuts through me like a silent sword and leaves it's score inside everytime I take a chance - take it everytime a rule to break - break it everytime I change my mind - change it everytime there's suicide - you know what's on my mind you're everywhere I try to hide I'm threatened by your suicide I'll test my faith till satisfied my god I need to know. I know there's got to be a place a heaven for the human race why do I need to die to go? I need to know I'm dyin' to know well good book says "love" should be the best thing you can feel so you gotta stand by your faith exactly what they say is real so you push this back in your mind cause the thought was too intense that don't make sense gotta hev it, I must know it here is my only chance and I ain't gonna blow it got to know before I'm outta time I'm all out of time. it's burning a hole inside of me answers to questions I seek burning a hole inside keepin' the flame alive. I will burn this flame until I know the name I need to know 10: Tester I see your problems are all inside but you don't ever know if you'd start trying to open your mind then you could just let them go the more that you know the less that you know you'd see those problems are all inside of your mind and soon you'll find your world is going down you've reached the ground you can't turn around you want to start giving up trying you want to start curling up and dying now you got to try to make that test you gotta start giving your best everytime you've got to read the signs before you know where to go all this confusion that's trapped in your mind it's just not helping you grow I can't see why just can't belive that you have chose to dwell in your own hell leave it alone you're gonna get through this yourself leave it alone you're gonna get through this through your own hell. 11: Try To Conform try - still you got nowhere try and stay in line and live by all the rules thesy say to follow try to conform in your head they'll feed you bullshit you should swallow try their style don't give up you will blend in it's not tough to give up when you've tried to try for so long I can't wait to assimilate just try to stop me (you willing try) but you don't know pick yourself up by those boot straps dude and try try still you get nowhere try and stay in line and other forms you'll never know and if you got something to say I got a shotgun for a muzzle try their style don't give up you will blend in just try to conform it dosen't feel the same 12: Give And Get you sit around here just comlaining bout your life think you have nothing it's not working and you just want to get out why don't you take the time and take your blinders off you've got to try and make an effort cause you know that what you give is/what you get you have so much just look around what you give is/what you get if you just take the time to look around then you will find blame spoiled rotten brats for things that you don't have as it turns out what they possess are not things you'd wnat anyhow get off your high horse and turn that frown upside down god helps those who help those who help themselves in any sort of instance there's oppurtunities/yet you don't want 'em just lie around and/watch 'em go just a limp body/that dosen't have fun do I feel sorry/for you hell no get off your ass get with the program there are so many fun options waiting outside your front door think of what you have not what you don't cause in the head there's no one who really gives a shit anymore what you give is what you get and what you've been giving you've been getting 13: Clear Your Head take all that you've read and all you've heard said take every little bit of info clogged up in your head then play sane game ream out your crowded brain you'll feel much better when you clear your head I know it's a bitch you gotta try you lose control and would like to know the reason why I know it's a bitch to clear your head you lose control then life is over you are dead. now you may ask why why such a blue sky of all the colors on a palette that you might try your mental landscape you'll feel much better when you clear your head and soon you'll see a much better way to be you'll see the person that you sought to be you got to be get your new clean slate when all that shit is erased you'll feel much better when you clear your head your life - is a dump for garbage sinner stacked up with the shit of worthless refuse from the past now you're backed up against the wall your life - a crowded thought collection so many theories dearly handed down to you and you just can't condense them it's your life.

Death in the shadows affect us all too many bodies lie in the street too many hungry mouths that have the right to feed 7: Open Door Never had the luck to see that face before at most I've only had a fleeting chance but now it looks as though you're just not fleeting anymore now it has turned into quite some romance and I'm distant no longer more since you have come to pass right through right through that open door people come and people go in the end they're all the same the quest for someone special is all so clear trying to find identity trying to find a name I seem to find myself since you've here I've fought oppression I've paid the price but here with you It's twice as nice so I'll change my ways I'll start today I've got to change My life my heart goes out to all of you the many

you wish that you were dead and make it hard to cope he'll make you wish that you were dead and hanging by a rope 9: Who's To Blame One day you'll have to ask yourself am I doing what I want for someone else from that dat forward you'll find that livinng you're better off when you answer to yourself and when it's time to take a stance tune them out inside your brain Everyone will tell you lies they'll cheat then laugh at your demise tell me who's to blame Someday when you look back and you take time in the past was I doing all I really could that one step forward a better life wasn't all that hard now that you're living like you should I am firm believer so- vereign minded high achiever solid in my sense of worth and goals philosophies are meant to trick you missionaries out to get you hell is full of cons and suckered souls 10: Kodiak So many trials and tribulations but the wiser man am I such fixations are fix- ed on me I tell you I am sick I'm sick and tired of all the fables tired of all the lies I'm tired of seeing bullshit walk up hill miles and miles if I've done half the shit that's been said about me too much and then some I could have spent the span of 20 lives compared to just my one so get off my back all you slanderers just leave me alone put your mose back on your face where it belongs you fucking drone your life is pure fascination your mouth speaks such abominations I condemn your allegations you are a Frankenstein creation it must be weird to live one's life in a self make believe pit but then I look at mine and then I see what a pointless one yours is so crawl back in your hole yea back in to your world of make believe when I see your smiling face you best be prepared to leave in a land of pure untruths I gladly crown your ass the queen the things you do are always done so exquisitely 11: Side One When you're alone you're on your own this world is no place for the weak we've got to find ourselves in unity cause strength in numbers is what we seek to- getherness friendship is best no one can stop us when we all work as one when problems come we've already won cause we know whose side we're on come to- gether and fight together unite together as one come together and fight to- gether fight forever 'till we have one camaraderie amity it's good to know whose side you're on conviviality homogeneity together we can't go wrong 10: No Reason Why I look at myself the person in the mirror is asking me asking me why I lie to myself what's the meaning of this charade of the reason why cause no one else knows me quite better than I know myself but that dosen't stop me from asking myself the reason why no reason why we lie to ourselves or anyone else I look inside my life cause I can see the things that no one else can see about the real me cause it's only the outside you really see so don't ask me why I keep inside the things that I choose to hide still it dosen't stop me from asking myself it gets me farther behind cheaters never prosper I've heard that line but it keeps me set in my ways look me up after you've found out 13: Bro Hymn To all my friends present past and beyond especially those who weren't with us too long life is the most precious thing you can lose while you were here fun was never ending laugh a minute only the beginning canton, colvin, nichols, this one's for you ever get the feeling you can't go on just remember whose side it is that you're on you've got friends with you 'till the end if you're ever in a tough situation we'll be there with no hesitation brotherhood's our rule that cannot bend when you're feeling too close to the bottom you know who it is you can count on someone will pick you up again we can conquer any- thing together all of us are bonded forever if you die I die that's the way it is PENNYWISE - s/t 604 N.

A quick adventure not much to mention A slow procession leading us to die Or is there a heaven a distant valley A golden meadow waiting for us in the sky No one right answer spirit seems broken Still I just can't help but wonder why Seems like a tragic waste of time Who cares what happens when you die? Life's too short to wonder why Get on with your life In towering churches and holy temples They all conspired to tell me how to live my life But no religion or new theism Could ever provide proof to quench my mind And now I wonder whos's sky I'm under Is there a heaven waiting for me when I die No one right answer spirit seems And still I can't help but wonder why So many questions I can't tell the difference Too many abstract thoughts now wrestle in my mind But through the darkness somewhere should be waiting A final truth to shower me with light Their pearls of wisdom and tales of glory They fed me nicely until I found it was all a lie No one right answer spirit seems broken And still I can't help but wonder why 3: Perfect People All the perfect people shallow and deceitful Staring back at me on tv in magazines look so good like a box of fresh twinkies What the hell happened to me? So I took a drive to a rich and wealthy country Saw everything I wanted and everything I need Went right up and tried to join their party You oughta seen the look when they saw me Fucked up eyes stupid grin Perfect people won't let me in Who's who list where's my name They won't let me join their game I bet that you think that I'm insane There's no one left for me to blame Screw the perfect people Fuck they all look the same We're not much to look at Too short dumb and so fat Never gonna win a beauty pageant its a curse Always gonna be a better doorman At the best clubs How could things be any worse? Don't have much to go on don't want your opinion Don't have much to gain and I ain't got much to lose Looks like you got it all and I'd really like to Get some You got something I could use 4: Every Single Day See all the people longing to be Living their lives regretlessly Trying to repress the pain in their lives Reassuring themselves living with lies No way to break through not on my own Can't push away all the sorrow I've known Have to release every thought or care And take control life is a dare I can start over today Live my life a different way Can't find a way to erase bad times to make Everything OK I'll start over and live every single day Regrest and memories no remorse no apologies No reason for me to despair no future at all Ask if I care I got time on my side twenty four hours in my life Can't hang on to what's in my past Full speed ahead hard and fast At the end with each dropping sun Can't erase what has been done who cares What happened long ago I don't want to know Can't face tomorrow with these thoughts Of yesterday I can't escape the lies and make them go away Wish I had the answers to make it through Can't shake these images no matter what I do I guess I'll use them to make me a stronger man I'll use each Twisted tortured memory to help me understand And I will learn From mistakes that everone makes I've got To find a way I guess I'll have to live with them every single day 5: Searching Can't run can't hide No one here gets out alive It don't get better that's the best you're gonna get The deal is in now place your bets Can't eat can't sleep Knowing that nothing's gonna satisfy me Another blip on a television screen Among an ocean of stars Tonight I will rage against the forces of fate You best get outta my way I'm not gonna fade away slowly Inside my mind is a clock tick-tocking time Not gonna stop until my last days done You wanna try me well come get some Tempt fate can't wait I gotta get out there's no time to hesitate Not gonna waste it with the cynical fools Can't bring me down And if you wanna try this disposition Sacrifice all you knew Sanitize your religion Take your life and renew and do what you wanna do 6: Not Far Away Hey it's my time To change my direction in life just by reading the signs Hey it's my turn To see how many of my bridges will burn I feel something breathing down my neck Thought of tomorrow's got me like a nervous wreck No time for sorrow it's your judgement day It's not far away It's not far away There's a shiny coffin for you to rot in And waste your days It's not far away Hey I got something to say Before the spirit of life starts slippin' away I'm not gonna end my life Wishing for one more chance again to get it right I hear voices echo from the grave Whispering softly it's your judgement day Hey I won't rest in peace Until this world is sick of hearing from mr Hey get outta my way I got alot more living to do before my judgement day 7: Freebase I got some shit for sale you oughtta get some You'll be the highest guy that ever lived It might kill you man you won't even know it I can feel your best sense starting to give You take the chance you lose control The lessons from your past you need to know Take one more hit of base That shit is gonna blow up in your face Ripping glass shards through your heart You got a problem man you ought to fix it You think you're geting high well guess again Until it's too late well you wont even know it You better stop before you hit a dead end When I see you out on the street A different story everytime we meet You been hanging with a different crowd Your acting tough and your talking loud It's getting worse for you every single day A bad habit and it won't go away Where you gone where's my best friend I can't help you cause you won't let me in 8: It's What You Do With It Too mich time in this same place got to get out An undenying feeling I gotta get away Too many thoughts in one space I've finally had it A dream now takes to a secret place that lies So far away It's what you do with it it's what you've waited for And when you find it a place where no one has been before I know I gotta listen to my mind 'cause if it happens to me Sometimes Finda place where you can go where nobody knows Nobody knows Gone and without a trace I'd like to have it Taking only with me good dreams of yesterday And my best friend whom with I'll share this journey Our mental bags are packed 'cause we're leaving here today It's whatyou do with it It's what you've waited for 9: Try You've been looking for me in the most obvious places Still I'm nowhere to be found I'm perched atop the highest buildings in the city And I'm inrigued as I look down All the ants below share the same comfortable existence But they still wear the same frown What ashame that they can't see the beauty That's surrounding them when there's so much around Try don't choose to walk away There's a part within your soul it just takes Time to find it When you try take time and seize the day Cause after today's gone You'll never have the chance again So try While I sit here with so many thoughts I'm listenign to the rain Falling to the ground I'm just hoping somday soon all thge unhappy people find Solace in the sound And listen to the old cliches that all the elders say That life goes by too fast I just wish there was some way that I could stop the clock And make the good times last Don't throw it all away no one day's just the same You must realize it's all in your mind Don't emphasize the pain on one particular day If you feel you're starting to slide Just pull yourself together Remember all that matters is you try 10: Same Old Story It's patience trying when you tell me how to live Well you don't know anything Your expectations are wearing thin You won't even take a look to see another way You aren't even listeing Take your ideals and go away I'm cut from the same mold I don't read from the same old story I'm not cut fromthe same mold Don't know who you think I should be I'm not cut from the same mold I don't read from the same old story I'm not cut from the same mold Done with yours I'm living life for me Tell me father, did I turn out so bad Didn't I look up to you Took every piece of advice you had Go to school get a job Send me on your way You aren't even listening Take your dreams and go away For so longI have tried to understand The qualities you thought made up a real man Now it's time for me to find out for myself I'm getting fed up I don't need your help You never listen to both sides of the story You never listen you won't listen to me 11: I Won't Have It A model brother a model dad A model citizen has somehow turned out bad Pledging allegiance to another flag Lifelong devotion to a man they think was far from mad A written word from they think their peers A little propaganda they became white warriors Bred on deception and bred on fear They don't hear the barrage of lies That pass right theough their ears When your head feels like its real close to imploding And your life is revolving around hate All that shit your brain is overloading With help from papers and magazines Another sheltered boy chooses what he will not see Views so distorted how can this be When the love for hate is the basis for reality Another headline anotehr bash Another harmless victim beaten up and not for cash Insanity well when will it end if you don't give it up You'll never have the chnmace to make ammends You cannot keep it all inside You've got to leave it all behind You got a bullet in your head It's time to make a stance now make it A bloody picture, psychotic dream Choosing to follow the worst lesson in all history Just get a future yeah get a life cause if you don't Instead of mourning there'll be celebrating when you die 12: Killing Time On my tv, violent actions race across my screen A world of hate staring at the rise in murder rate I can't believe what we've become Is all hope lost to everyone? A bettered wife waits for us to hear Her screams tonight A child of war wonders what we're all fighting for I look and think how can this be? What causes all our suffering? Eyes wide open we can't see I can't understand it's out of hand To me we're all just killing time Killing time Killing time - we're running our lives Religious right-is buying up guns for A hell of a fight Another victim lies in pain A serial killer waits for fame Have we all gone insane? I can't understand it's out of hand To me we're all just killing time Killing time I can't believ There's got to be Some way to break through I think that I - will have to try - I'll lose my mind We're all killing time Why?
