7 Seconds - Still Believe

I guess the others turned their backs on what they now call shit,
It doesn't really matter cuz it's their words I forget,
If 'core is dead, they've moved along and now they're rockin' out,
But I have doubts they ever knew just what it's been about
[Chorus]
But I still believe, I still believe, believe in myself [2x]
Watch them bite and clw now as they line up on the rack,
A method to success and now there ain't no looking back,
They're playing better music with a message aimed at other crowds,
And they don't include a lyrics sheet cuz what they say ain't proud
[Chorus]
An empty pedatal and all these heroes, where'd they, go! go! go!
When I find myself a hero, I'll be sure to let you know

7 Seconds - Sour Grapes

you say you hate all those kids now. you can't relate to the things they say to you. you feel you've grown far beyond them. you don't remember when you were like them. and now you've grown up, you hate them. a bad case of sour grapes? who knows? you better get used to this picture, cause there's way more kids waiting in the hall. you don't remember the problems. you just complain like your parents did at you. you swore you'd never be like them, but now that you've grown up you're ten times worse. and now you've grown up, you hate them. a bad case of sour grapes? who knows? you better get used to this picture, cause there's way more kids waiting in the hall. and now you've grown up, you hate them. a bad case of sour grapes? who knows? you better get used to this picture, cause there's way more kids waiting in the hall. and now you've grown up, you hate them. a bad case of sour grapes? who knows? you better get used to this picture, cause there's way more kids waiting in the hall.

7 Seconds - Sooner or Later

both of us too fucking stubborn. neither is willing to give just a little. ramming our heads into nothing. winning a war that is non-existent. sooner or later will we work together? who knows? or will we resign to the fact that that's just how it goes? you're seeing things in your own way. while i'm seeing things in the opposite. and we think we're so fucking different. unwilling to buckle or deal with it. sooner or later will we work together? who knows? or will we resign to the fact that that's just how it goes? sooner or later will we work together? who knows? or will we resign to the fact that that's just how it goes? sooner or later will we work together? who knows? or will we resign to the fact that that's just how it goes?

7 Seconds - Somebody Help Me Scream

I know I've cried so many times, by far I've had some doubts,
And faces, faces, faces change, but still I have to shout,
Things have had me worried, will I ever have to be alone,
Then closed up doors push forward, see a side I've never known--oh!
[Chorus]
Somebody, somebody, somebody, help me scream
Somebody, somebody, somebody, Help! Me! Scream!
Someone there to drown the fire, but a passion bonds a solid link
Heartbeat, heartbeat, heartbeat, skipping faster as I sink.
Is this a stay of dedication, when it's time to bail out,
Tell me is that what life is all about--Oh!

7 Seconds - Colorblind

I don't feel that prejudice,
Can't see divided lines.
To me we are all just the same,
Our difference in our souls and minds.
You tell me that the difference,
Is red, brown, black and white.
A world of such variety,
To you becomes an excuse for hate.
(Chorus)
We've gotta learn, have hope, unite
And care enough to end this fight.
You're hating with no real insight,
And burning crosses in the night.
A hundred years of barriers,
Yet still we can't see fit
To bring about world unity
And learn to live with it.
Now I'm not just complaining
And I won't preach to anyone,
But we should think about it
'Cos this war has not just begun.
(Repeat Chorus)

7 Seconds - Safety Net

you live your life on the internet. that's where you are day and night. you talk you shit from behind that net. where you're safely out of sight. i think it's bad, yeah it seems so sad. cause now we hardly ever talk. you try replacing the human face with the one living in a box. why don't you go to a real life show. it's something that you won't regret. you'd rather be on the irc and stuck inside your safety net. it shouldn't be so damned destructive. why not share some info, insight? you're way too caught up in the gossip. you'd rather talk shit every night. i think it's bad, yeah it seems so sad. cause now we hardly ever talk. you try replacing the human face with the one living in a box. why don't you go to a real life show. it's something that you won't regret. you'd rather be on the irc and stuck inside your safety net.

7 Seconds - Put These Words to Music

I always think about you, alone or with the band,
Just having something very special now, can it last very long?
Do you doubt just how I feel, can you tell that it's for real?
Just sharing certain feelings we all know,
The truth down from within
[Chorus]
Listen, but I can only show you, at times it's so hard with words,
We've gone this far and made it work,
You've got to know, that part is true,
Can you tell, that what I say, comes from my heart, it's taken time,
To put these words to music, I don't mind
You seem to doubt my sincerity, I'm hoping that you see,
Just try to look much deeper, then you'll know just how I feel,
Will you try to understand, sometimes I may get out of hand,
But knowing that you're by my side

7 Seconds - Opinion of Feelings

He said, Come along, that urge has come again and now I'm feeling strong,
Expectations of you, don't care is you want to want along,
Love for those who make it without knowing how another feels,
The fact is, what you do is rape, it never crossed your mind before,
[Chorus]
An opinion of feelings
It's just pride, no real depth,
Opinion of feelings,
Do those feelings mean anything at all
He's pulled you down, he's taking aim, you wonder what he's waiting for,
And he may get his way this time, but will he ever change your mind,
A sharp resentment, guilt, deep pain, all this in the act of love,
And now you're just a victim of his gain, a selfish game

7 Seconds - One Big Guessing Game

we're getting old, no big surprise. you stress on it, and you despise. the fact that someday we all die and daily you keep asking yourself why? just try and do your best. it's all just one big guess. and make the best of things. you better make it last. you're lazy, what's that all about? try walking down some other route. so many questions, too many doubts. but you just let them take you down and out. just try and do your best. it's all just one big guess. and make the best of things. you better make it last. wo oh oh oh... just try and do your best. it's all just one big guess. and make the best of things. you better make it last.

7 Seconds - New Wind

Excuse me, just wait one sec, have you ever really listened to a thing we've said,
You're not convinced that we could ever be a major force,
But just another youth subculture with a different song,
But for others, there's this other side,
not really looking for some credit for the things we've tried
Communication, it could work so fast,
Just cuz now you say it's over, does that make it past
[Chorus]
We could be the new wind - oh, oh!
We could be the new wind - Do you know, do you care?
We could be the new wind - oh, oh?
We could be the new wind - Will you try, will you dare?
A simple dream, no, not just that, can you just appreciate there's something we must find,
I'm not a punker, just a human being, with this urge to exercise,
What's in my heart and mind,
It's not me hiding, from reality, pretend that I can shine it, turn around and walk away,
The contradiction, seems to follow you, assuring that there is really nothing we can't do

7 Seconds - Never Try

always complaning. it's something to do. constantly crying about the way life's fucking you. the routine is ugly. so boring and old. compared to some others at least you're not out in the cold. i could tell you that i care and that i truly understand, but that would only be a lie. i could wipe away the stain, pretend that i can ease your pain, but that would only be a lie. you're selfish and silly despite all that hype. forever bitching. yeah, there's no doubt you've got a gripe. you're mad and defensive. you're looking to blame whoever is near you. it's always the same. i could tell you that i care and that i truly understand, but that would only be a lie. i could wipe away the stain, pretend that i can ease your pain, but that would only be a lie. always complaning. it's something to do. constantly crying about the way life's fucking you. the routine is ugly. so boring and old. compared to some others at least you're not out in the cold. i could tell you that i care and that i truly understand, but that would only be a lie. i could wipe away the stain, pretend that i can ease your pain, but that would only be a lie. i could tell you that i care and that i truly understand, but that would only be a lie. i could wipe away the stain, pretend that i can ease your pain, but that would only be a lie.

7 Seconds - Message From a Friend

i said i'm not angry about it. but you're not convinced of that fact. you want to paint a depressing picture. you think i'm down from the flack. but let me make this loud and clear. i hope you'll finally understand. cause this is just a song, another message from a friend. you're free to voice your opinion. while i'm free to laugh in your face. you get along with no sense of humor. you can't keep up with the pace. but let me make this loud and clear. i hope you'll finally understand. cause this is just a song, another message from a friend. but let me make this loud and clear. i hope you'll finally understand. cause this is just a song, another message from a friend.

7 Seconds - Man Enough to C

Daddy always told you, do it like a man, never get too friendly,
ome won't understand, friends have got you in on all those hard things that they've planned,
All your life they told you, never shed a tear, cuz boys don't crave affection,
Boys ain't got no fear,
But did they ever show you how to shut those feelings on then off again
[Chorus]
And now you gotta hide yourself, hide yourself away,
Show you care and you might show the world that you're only gay,
Crying is for babies, for boys is it a sin,
To be a caring, sharing, loving, human one
Handshake show you're friendly, but don't get caught,
You gotta fight to prove you're not afraid, fuck just to prove you're not,
And all your life you play this game and it goes on and on and on and on,
Now you've grown into a man, proud as hell to be,
It's now your turn to raise a son, don't let him be one,
And you can teach him all the things you were taught yourself

7 Seconds - Just One Day

I'm not sorry, cuz I started growing and I'm pushing on.
And I know I cannot turn it back or turn away!
So many feelings moving faster as I live from day to year,
It seems that now I live a lifetime--in a day
[Chorus]
Stand by my side, I know it's hard cuz we're afraid, I know I am.
Please understand, it's time to grow more than you know.
Just a part of the same old story, it seems so old,
But tell me why I can't take hold I can't explain!
Words go through my head and I ache for ways to see
I guess this madness is the answer--I'm afraid!
[Chorus]
This music from my heart, is it so different from before, it may seem so,
But it's just music from my heart.
Just! One! Day!
