You can use it you look like you are in need you should use it you should put aside your fear You should take it take it up inside yourself to help you through this Ain't that a pretty sight I'll paint the stars for everyone for the world to see Yeah Ain't that a pretty sight I'll paint the stars for anyone Help the world to shine Yeah Yes it's easy Yes it's all that we need Yes it's foolish But that's just what it should be Hallelujah For another fuckery And the next will follow Ain't that a pretty sight I'll paint the stars for anyone to shine extra bright Yeah Ain't that a pretty sight I'll paint the stars for everyone To light up the night Yeah We need the light to guide us through the dark We need the sound speaking from our hearts We need the colors to liven up our lives And we need more of it we need more of it Ain't that a pretty sight I'll paint the stars for anyone to shine extra bright Yeah Ain't that a pretty sight I'll paint the stars for everyone To light up the night Yeah

No Shame 04:42
lyrics

Yes I know I have wronged you Time after time I have heard your words and you have heard mine Things that got us here They still aren't really clear Is it all just a matter of how we are feeling inside cause I feel no shame I feel nothing I feel like I'm only watching this I feel no shame I feel nothing I feel that I'm only numb to this Yes we gotta make plans now How we separate No, I won't try to make up I know it's too late And all that got us here It just looks so clear When there's someone so wrong you are certainly right and still I feel no shame I feel nothing It feels like nothing is real about this I feel no shame I feel nothing I feel this numbness again While I once was so good at self-hatred and pain with the guiltiest conscience wrecking my brain I spend these empty days In a distant haze Yes I know I have wronged you I accept that you're right But anyway I feel no shame I feel nothing I feel like not much going on I feel no shame I feel nothing I feel that I'm only numb

PART 1 Animals are out there on the streets Animals end up beneath our wheels But they don't feel love No they don't feel love No they're not like us They're animals Animals are taking to the skies Animals are standing in their sties But they don't feel love No they don't feel love If they feel at all They're animals We can be proud of us Just look how we subdued the earth We can be proud of it Subdued the shit out of it Animals are burning in the fires Animals don't know the reason why But they don't feel love No they don't feel love No they're not like us They're animals PART 2 Do you know the way you treat me Like an animal That's not a worthy way of living Like an animal Sorry but I've just been horny Like an animal These people are not real people they are animals* To live Like an animal To die Like an animal ... * Uncredited co-write by Donald Trump

Lying in my bed at three a.m. and still can’t fall asleep In my head the thoughts run wild my body all electrified Oh what is going on My nerve endings lying bare as I try to get some air I sit up and I lie down I toss and turn and spin around Oh what is going on Turn me off, turn me off I can’t seem to stop Turn me off, put it out I just need to calm down Turn me off, turn me off I can’t seem to stop Turn me off, put it out I just need to tune out Lying in my bed at four a.m. as weary as before Every trick in the book Every medicine I took Can’t help me fall asleep Oh what is going on Turn me off, turn me off I can’t seem to stop Turn me off, put it out I just need to calm down Turn me off, turn me off I can’t seem to stop Turn me off, put it out I just need to drop out One sheep two sheep three sheep four sheep five sheep six sheep fuck it seven sheep eight sheep nine sheep fuck it ten sheep goddamn it who am I kidding Lying in my bed at half past four the morning dawns and the birds in the tree come back from a good nights sleep I wanna go there I wanna go there Turn me off, turn me off I can’t seem to stop Turn me off, put it out I just need to calm down Turn me off, turn me off I can’t seem to stop Turn me off, put it out I just need to drop out

lyrics

They want their good times they want their old times back again when life was simple, way back when they could just dominate and not care bout anyone else I know in this day and age things tend to get complicated I’ll put on your shoes At least I’ll try to The task we all got at hand Is to listen, to understand And the pains of growing just means we’re evolving Aren’t we? Bring back the old times Except we can’t Time won’t move backwards don’t you understand? But it is on us to make it the best that we can I know in this day and age it’s way too easy to get enraged throw shade at me if you see more than I see The task we all got at hand Is to listen, to understand And the pains of growing are better than not knowing

I put my pants on just like the rest of you -- one leg at a time. Except, once my pants are on, I make songs that no one cares about.
