Oh, goodbye cruel world, I'm off to join the circus
Gonna be a broken-hearted clown
Paint my face with a good-for-nothin' smile

Another time
You'll be the one
Testing me and manipulating me
Another time
You've gone too far
Now it's too hard to
Break this grip on me
But not this time
Make believe
There's nothing more
That I live for because
It's all been said before
Make believe
That you still cared
Now you're real scared
Because I'm walking out the door
But not this time
My conscience freed
The only one you could lead
Not this time
Not for me
Because you and
I weren't meant to be
Two seeds that won't bare life
So I turn and walk away

Hey man why you always give me Attitude?
What I, what I ever Done to you?
If you got a bone to Pick
Step outside step Outside talk about it
But I talk with words man
I don't talk with my fists
I'm sick of all this aggression
Hell you know I've had enough of it
But I don't mean to Offend you
So tell me if I have tell me if I have
Don't give me attitude
Don't you give me attitude
Hey man why you always laughing at me?
What's so, what's so funny?
Cos take a look in the mirror say now what do you see?

There is a house down in New Orleans
Down in the Vieux Carr'e
A house they call the rising sun
Where love and money are made
My father he was a gambler
Mother died when I was young
And I've worked since then
To please the men
At the house of the rising sun
There is a house
Down in New Orleans
They call the rising sun
It's been the ruin of many a good girl
And oh God, you know I'm one
So mothers you go telling all your daughters
Not to do what I've done
To live a life of sin, shame and strife
In the house of the rising
