Greatest Hits (new tracks) lyrics

Back to lyrics home


What Do You Got

Everybody wants something, just a little more
We're makin' a living and what we're living for
Rich man or a poor man, a pawn or a king
You can live on the street, you can rule the whole world
But it don't mean one damn thing

What do you got if you ain't got love?
Whatever you got, it just ain't enough
You're walkin' a road but you're goin' nowhere
Tryin' to find your way home but there's no one there
Who do you hold in the dark of night?
You wanna give up but it's worth the fight
You can have all the things that you've been dreaming of

If you ain't got someone you're afraid to lose
Everybody needs just one someone to tell them the truth
Maybe I'm a dreamer but I still believe
I believe in hope, I believe that change can get us up off our knees

What do you got if you ain't got love?
Whatever you got just ain't enough
You're walkin' a road but you're goin' nowhere
Tryin' to find your way home but there's no one there
Who do you hold in the dark of night?
You wanna give up but it's worth the fight
You can have all the things that you've been dreaming of
If you ain't got love, it's all just keepin' score
If you ain't got love, what the hell we doin' it for?

I don't wanna have to talk about it
How many songs I gotta sing about it?
How long you gonna live without it?
Why does someone somewhere have to doubt it?
Someday you'll figure it out

What do you got if you ain't got love?
Whatever you got, it just ain't enough
You walk on that road but you're goin' nowhere
Tryin' to find your way home but there's no one there
Who do you hold in the dark of night?
You wanna give up but it's worth the fight
You can have all the things that you've been dreaming of
If you ain't got love, it's all just keepin' score
If you ain't got love, what the hell we doin' it for?

(Whoa oh oh oh) Ohh, what do you got if you ain't got love?
(Whoa oh oh oh) Ohh, what do you got if you ain't got love?
(Whoa oh oh oh) Ohh, what do you got if you ain't got love?
(Whoa oh oh oh)

No Apologies

No apologies (no apologies)
We will not back down (no apologies)
We are not afraid (no apologies)
Not a drop of doubt

Let's start this from the happy ending
Just another white trash train track kid
Fightin' for survival
Tryin' not to do like his daddy did

Double down the devil at Three-Card Monte
No apology, he just knew when to quit
Push your luck, say your prayers
Make believe you don't care
Take a chance, sometimes it's all you need

No apologies
No apologies (no apologies)
We will not back down (no apologies)
We are not afraid (no apologies)
Not a drop of doubt (no apologies)
Hand in hand across this land
Our voices shouting out
No apologies
No apologies

You wanna start a personal revolution
I think you're livin' somebody else's life
You can lie about retribution
But there ain't no fire in your lover's eyes
Seems like everybody's sellin' their dreams 'round here
But no one's buyin' and it's closing time
Light the fuse, make your breaks
There's no time left to waste
Baby, just like freedom, nothing's free

No apologies
No apologies (no apologies)
We will not back down (no apologies)
We are not afraid (no apologies)
Not a drop of doubt (no apologies)
Hand in hand across this land
Our voices shouting out
No apologies

You wanna start a personal revolution
What else you gotta do tonight?

No apologies
No apologies (no apologies)
We will not back down (no apologies)
We are not afraid (no apologies)
Not a drop of doubt (no apologies)
Hand in hand across this land
Our voices shouting out
No apologies (no apologies)
No apologies
(no apologies)
No apologies
Hand in hand across this land
Our voices shouting out
No apologies

This Is Love, This Is Life

These days, what's left of me ain't no Prince Charming
And my Cinderella feels like she stayed at the dance too long
We ain't got much, but what we got is all that matters
We're picking up the pieces, trying to put 'em back where they belong

Oh, it's gonna be all right
This is love, this is life
When times get tough, we're still worth the fight
This is love, this is life
The road here's paved with the broken-hearted
We gotta finish what we started
Oh, better hold on tight
This is love, this is life

These days it seems like there's three sides to every story
There's yours, mine, lately there's the cold hard truth
Who cares who's wrong or right when we turn out the lights
We'll find forgiveness when we're in each other's arms tonight
It ain't pretty but somehow we always make it through

Oh, it's gonna be all right
This is love, this is life
When times get tough, we're still worth the fight
This is love, this is life
The road here's paved with the broken-hearted
We gotta finish what we started
Oh, better hold on tight
This is love, this is life

Oh, it's gonna be all right
This is love, this is life
When get tough, we're still worth the fight
This is love, this is life
The road here's paved with the broken-hearted
We gotta finish what we started
Oh, better hold on tight
This is love, this is life

Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
(This is love, this is life)
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
(This is love, this is life)

The More Things Change

The more things change, the more they stay the same
The more things change, the more they stay the same

Ah, is it just me, or does anybody see
The new improved tomorrow isn't what it used to be
Yesterday keeps coming round it's just reality
It's the same damn song with a different melody

The market keeps on crashin'
Tattered jeans are back in fashion
Instead of records, now it's MP3s
I'll tell you one more time with feeling
Even though this world is reeling
You're still you, and I'm still me

I didn't mean to cause a scene
But I guess it's time to roll up our sleeves

The more things change, the more they stay the same
The same sun rises, it's just another day
If you're hangin' long enough, they say you're coming back
Just take a look, we're living proof, and baby that's a fact

The more things change, the more they stay the same
The more things change, the more they stay the same

You're either runnin round in circles
Or you're runnin' out of time
Everybody's somewhere either twelve, three, six or nine
The times, they are changing
We're here to turn the page
It's the same old story
But it's told a different way

The more things change, the more they stay the same
The same sun rises, it's just another day
If you're hangin' long enough, they say you're coming back
Just take a look, we're living proof, and baby that's a fact

You know
The more things change, the more they stay the same
Never and forever just keep comin' back again
Don't hold out for tomorrow
Or hold onto yesterday
The more things change, the more they stay the same

The more things change, the more they stay the same
The more things change, the more they stay the same

Here comes the na-na-na-na-na-na-na
These days it's raise the roof, instead of sha-la-la
Here come the rappers, the dancers and the remixture machine
This one is for the CEOs and record companies

And if you're waiting on a happy ending
We're gonna hit the hook one more time

The more things change, the more they stay the same
The more things change, the more they stay the same
The more things change, the more they stay the same
The more things change, the more they stay the same

Ah, you know
The more things change, the more they stay the same
The same sun rises, it's just another day
If you're hangin' long enough, they say you're coming back
Just take a look, we're living proof, and baby that's a fact

You know
The more things change, the more they stay the same
'Never' and 'Forever' just keep comin' back again
Don't hold out for tomorrow, or hold onto yesterday
The more things change, the more they stay the same

This Is Our House

This is our time
This is our night
Are you alive?
Get up, get up, get up, get up, time to fly
Are we gonna raise the roof? (Oh yeah)
Are we gonna touch the sky? (Hell yeah)
Everybody with me let me hear you now
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

This is our house
These are my people, mister, this is my town
This is our house
Ain't nobody know we're gonna knock it down
(Oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh)
This is our house
(Oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh)

With the wind at our side
We have arrived
We won't be denied
Get up, get up, get up, get up, time to shine
Are we gonna turn it up? (Oh yeah)
Are we gonna shake it up? (Hell yeah)
Let me see you raise 'em up and shout out loud
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

This is our house
These are my people, mister, this is my town
This is our house
Ain't nobody know we're gonna knock it down
This is our house
These are my colours, this is sacred ground
This is our house
Ain't nobody know we're gonna knock it down
This is our house
(Oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh)
This is our house
(Oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh)
This is our house
Ain't nobody know we're gonna knock it down
