Audioslave, I Am The Highway

Pearls and swine bereft of me
Long and weary my road has been
I was lost in the cities
Alone in the hills
No Sorrow or pity for leaving i feel

I am not your rolling wheels
I am the highway
I am not your carpet ride
I am the sky

Friends and liars don't wait for me
I'll get on all by myself
I put millions of miles
Under my heels
And still too close to you
I feel

I am not your rolling wheels
I am the highway
I am not your carpet ride
I am the sky
I am not your blowing wind
I am the lightning
I am not your autumn moon
I am the night.

Audioslave, Bring Em Back Alive

i was on my way to the center of the sun
when i lost my wings and i fell into a crowd
and they carried me to a hole in the ground
and they buried me
where no one could see
and no one would be around

chorus:
i am a virus, i live in silence

i was on my way to a city in the clouds
when i lost my mind and i had to settle down
then i had a dream of an island in the sea
where the lepers die
where no one survives
and no one can hear the cries

chorus:
i am a virus, i live in silence

and just like the heathens thinking
on our feet we believe in god
and with one step, two steps
three steps towards the graveyard
on the high road to remembering
it seems that we forgot

chorus:
i am a virus, i live in silence

Audioslave, Pushing Forward Back

Mother mother found me on her step
Gracious mother held to to her breast
Until the day I started..

..pushing
Too late to cry she turned away
I started pushing
I saw no future in this lack


I started pushing pushing pushing forward back
I started pushing pushing pushing forward back


Baby brother clinging to her hair
Gracious pleading not another soul to bare
He started..

..pushing
All my kings have fallen down
I started pushing
Fallen heroes feed the ground


I started pushing pushing pushing forward back
I was pushing pushing pushing forward back
I was pushing pushing pushing forward back
I was pushing pushing pushing forward back


Falling down..
Now I know her
I know I'll never drown
drown
drown

Falling down..
Now I know her
I know I'll never drown
drown
drown


Oh, I was pushing

I was pushing pushing pushing forward back
I was pushing pushing pushing forward back
I was pushing pushing pushing forward back
I was pushing pushing pushing forward back

I was pushing pushing pushing forward back
I was pushing pushing pushing forward back
I was pushing pushing pushing forward back
I was pushing pushing pushing forward back
I was pushing pushing pushing forward back
I was pushing pushing pushing forward back

Audioslave, Worm

Was a time early in life
When I hated everything
Born too young, top of my lungs
Sitting on the bottom rung
Took advice from the wrong shoulder
Took a lot of everything
I've decided to make it alright with my

[Chorus]
Halo--I'm complete
Halo--with me underneath
Halo--I'm reborn
I can do no wrong

Black and blue, suffering fools
By the age of seventeen
Low and high, just one more time
Felt like an eternity
Right or wrong, never too strong
Friends became my enemies
God forsaken, never too late with my

[Chorus]
Halo--I'm complete
Halo--with me underneath
Halo--I'm reborn
I can do no wrong

You'll stay the same
You'll stay the same
You'll stay the same
You'll stay the same
You'll stay the same
You'll stay the same
You'll stay the same

[Chorus]
Halo--I'm complete
Halo--with me underneath
Halo--I'm reborn
Halo--I'm complete
Halo--with me underneath
Halo--I'm reborn
I can do no wrong

Audioslave, Moth

Thought I was different and it seems I'm just the same
As a game I put my hand over the flame
I thought I was smarter as I flew into the sun
But it turned out the way it does with everyone

Oh, oh
I don't fly around you're fire anymore
I don't fly around you're fire anymore
Burnin', fallin' down so many times before
I don't fly around you're fire anymore

I love the heat I love the things that I forgot
I love the strings that tie me down and cut me off
I was a king, I was a moth with painted wings made of cloth
When did the flame burn so high and get so hot?

Oh, oh
I don't fly around you're fire anymore
I don't fly around you're fire anymore
Burnin', fallin' down so many times before
I don't fly around, fly around
Fly around

I don't fly around you're fire anymore
I don't fly around you're fire anymore
Burnin', fallin' down so many times before
I won't fly around, fly around

I won't fly around you're fire anymore
I don't fly around you're fire anymore
Burnin', fallin' down so many times before
I don't fly around, fly around, oh
Fly around, oh

Audioslave, Exploder

i met a man locked away
for things he hadn't done
innocence on a ball and chain
he'll never feel the sun
again on his face or roses
in his hands but when he smiled
at me i could understand

chorus:
if you're free you'll never see the walls
if you're head is clear you'll never free fall
if you're right you'll never fear the wrong
if you're head is high you'll never fear at all

there was a daughter of a man
who took his life too young
she swore she'd never do the same
then did just what he'd done
and a boy who's gone insane
voices in his head
no one knows what they say
now his mother's dead

chorus:
if you're free you'll never see the walls
if you're head is clear you'll never free fall
if you're right you'll never fear the wrong
if you're head is high you'll never fear at all

there was a man who had a face
that looked a lot like me
i saw him in the mirror and
i fought him in the street
and when he turned away
i shot him in the head
then i came to realize
i had killed myself

chorus:
if you're free you'll never see the walls
if you're head is clear you'll never free fall
if you're right you'll never fear the wrong
if you're head is high you'll never fear at all

Audioslave, Set It Off

He was standing there
Gathering the flock
And getting there with no directions
And underneath the arch
It turned into a march
And there he found the spark to
Set this fucker off

He set it off
Set it off now children
Set it right
Set it off
Set it off now children
Set a fire

Suddenly a shot
Ripped into his heart
He lay in need of some attention
And there he played his card
Going into shock
The last thing that he said was
Set this fucker off

He set it off
Set it off now children
Set it right
Set it off
Set it off now children
Set a fire

Jesus at the back door
Everything is alright
ALl we need is some direction
Everytime the wind blows
Everything you don't know
Turns into a revolution
And it all adds up inside your head
Time is wasting

Audioslave, Dandelion

Settle down now and sit with me
Let me tell you how this all came to be
A yellow flower with your pedals to the air
And flying on paper wings that brought you here
Summer rolls on in the lazy hours
An ether dream way
Of hummingbirds and clouds
Midnight swims in the cool back waves
And you in my arms as it rolls away

[Chorus]
Little dandelion
Let your heart keep time
Now the clouds are gone
All of your tomorrows shine
Oh oh
All of your tomorrows shine
Oh oh
All of your tomorrows shine

Born of restless night the moon as a pearl
Playing games down inside your soft warm world
Hear my voice I know that you can
You're the fire in my eyes
The sun as a man
Seasons come along and seasons go
And what they'll leave behind
I don't pretend to know
I'm afraid that all I have missed
Will loom very large when the darkness lifts

[Chorus]
Little dandelion
Let your heart keep time
Now the clouds are gone
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine

I will ride by your side
Wherever you go
I won't run I won't hide
Just letting you know

[Chorus]
Little dandelion
Let your heart keep time
Now the clouds are gone
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine

Audioslave, Getaway Car

The first time i saw you
You were crashing down
A cyclone
All alone in a field
With rail yards and clovers
I kept rolling on and never thought
You'd wind up chasing me

Well settle down i won't hesitate
To hit the highway
Before you lay me to waste
Settle up and I'll help you find
Something to drive
Before you drive me insane

You're tired of walking and you
Loathe the ground
The sidewalk will barely
Touch your feet and life moves
Too slowly to hold you down
With ringing hands
You take it out on me


Well settle down i won't hesitate
To hit the highway
Before you lay me to waste
Settle up and I'll help you find
Something to drive
Before you drive me insane

Audioslave, We Got The Whip

Oooooooooooh
Oooooooooooh
Oooooooooooh
Oooooooooooh

Long days and nights you fought for truth
Gotta hand it to you
Uprising paid for in blood
Only to lose
We're gonna hang you up
You've got balls but.....

We got the whip
we got a better bomb
We got the whip
We got the whip
we got a better bomb
x2

Oooooooooooh
Oooooooooooh

Heartache and strife is all you've known
A slave since your youth
And only one life to bargain with
Admiration is due
We're gonna string you up
You've got balls but.....

We got the whip
we got a better bomb
We got the whip
We got the whip
we got a better bomb

We got the whip
we got a better bomb
We got the whip
We got the whip
we got a better bomb

Yeah

*Guitar Piece*

Fearlessness in the face of death
Pain with a smile
Braving the fight until the end
I know I will never be anything like you

We got the whip
we got a better bomb
We got the whip
We got the whip
we got a better bomb

We got the whip
we got a better bomb
We got the whip
We got the whip
we got a better bomb

Audioslave, What You Are

and when you wanted me
i came to you
and when you wanted someone else
i withdrew
and when you asked for light
i set myself on fire
and if i go far away i know
you'll find another slave

chorus:
'cause now i'm free from what you want
now i'm free from what you need
now i'm free from what you are

and when you wanted blood
i cut my veins
and when you wanted love
i bled myself again
now that i've had my fill of you
i'll give you up forever
and here i go far away
i know you'll find another slave

chorus:
'cause now i'm free from what you want
now i'm free from what you need
now i'm free from what you are

then a vision came to me
when you came along
i gave you everything
but then you wanted more

Audioslave, Shadow Of The Sun

Once upon a time

I was on a mind to lay your burden down

And leave you where you stood

You believed I could

You’d seen it done before

I could read your thoughts

And tell you what you saw

And never say a word

But now that is gone

Over with and done

And never to return

I can tell you why

People die alone

I can tell you why

The shadow on the sun

Staring at the loss

Looking for the cause

And never really sure

Nothing but a hole

To live without a soul

And nothing to be learned

I can tell you why

People go insane

I can show you how

You could do the same

I can tell you why

The end will never come

I can tell you on

The shadow on the sun

Shapes of every size

Move behind my eyes

Doors inside my head

Bolted from within

Every drop of flame

Lights a candle in

Memory of the one

Who lived inside my skin

I can tell you why

People go insane

I can show you how

You could do the same

I can tell you why

The end will never come

I can tell you on

The shadow on the sun

Shadow on the sun

Shadow on the sun

Shadow on the sun

Shadow on the sun

Shadow on the sun

Shadow on the sun

Shadow on the sun

Sun

Sun

Audioslave, Hypnotize

Well if you set your mind upon it
I know that you can
You've got everything you wanted
You've done everything you planned
So let me make an offer
I'm only trying to help
You can make your load
Just a little lighter
All you got ot do is share the wealth

Oh no don't you keep your
Good luck to yourself
Oh no don't you keep your
Good luck to yourself

Well I know you got problems
I see it in your eyes
But if you want to live
To see the morning
Give it up to your brother
Or you'll get a suprise

Oh no don't you keep your
Good luck to yourself
Oh no don't you keep your
Good luck to yourself

Well, it's time to see
You got to give or you're gonna receive
It's time to see
You got live if you wanna believe
You can be
