Big Star Machine
could someone help me comprehend
how my wanting to have friends
is now this monster that i feed
it's popularity i need
when people think that i'm the deal
it helps me feel like i am real
but i think i lost the me
looking for the star machine

i dont want any part of it

everything is
here today gone tomorrow
big star machine
ricky martin or menudo
big star machine
vh1 "where are they?"
follows big star machine
how could i have been so shallow
big big star machine

could someone help me comprehend
how i came to judge my friends
on a scale of trendieness
and sommehow i love them less
not as hip as they could be
through the eyes of star machine
it's a dumb philosophy to judge by popularity
i dont want any part of it
everything is...

Get Up
i'm not afraid to fall
it means i climbed up high
to fall is not to fail
you fail when you don't try
not afraid to fall
i might just learn to fly
i will spread these wings of mine

if i get up
i might fall back down again
so lets get up
c'mon if i get up
i might fall back down again
but we get up anyway
but we'll just jump and see
even if it's the 20th time
we'll just jump and see if we can fly

i'm not afraid to fall
and hear i told you so
don't want to rock the boat
but i just had to know
just a greener side
or can i touch the sky
but either way i will have tried
i'm not afraid to fall
i've fallen many times
they laughed when i fell down
but i have dared to climb not afraid to fall
i know i'll fall again but i can win this in the end...

Not Done Yet
it's been one of those days
for a lot of days now
i need a day where the world
can take care of itself
this isn't what i wanted
how i thought my life would turn out
and i wonder if it's like this from here on out

sometimes life gets you
but we go on
sometimes life gets you
we're still going on

we're not going yet
not going quietly into the night
not me and my friends
we're not done yet
don't take it too seriously
it's just life
we'll win in the end
and we walk on and on and on
and we walk on and on

it's been one of those days for too many days now
i did the thing that i didn't want to do again
i fell down in the place where i always fall down
and i wanna give up and let it be what it's been
sometimes life gets you
but we go on
sometimes life gets you
we're still going on
it's been one of those days
but i dont care now
it was only a day
and tomorrow's ahead
we got this far and i know that
i can ride this one out
though i want to lie down
well i won't quite yet sometimes life gets you
but we go on
sometimes life gets you
we're still going on...

Super Trouper
you were meant to live large
come on take charge
let's go light the world up
let's not wait until the end
to be the things we wish we'd been

you were meant to live life c
ome on let's fly
you're a super trouper spotlight
we're gonna jump on the count of three
here it comes now
one two three jump

if you were a country you'd be Switzerland
you never take a stand
your policy is never to offend
if you were a gambler you wold always win
you'd only bet on the horses
afer they had already come in
and i'm sorry that i'm getting on your case
but true friends they stab you in the face
if you were in a movie
you'd be thug number 5
cuz you don't try out for a starring role
but your name belongs in the lights
if you got a GI Joe you'd never open the box
safe inside itks plastic prison
waiting for the day it rots
and i'm sorry that im getting on your case
but true friends they stab you in the face...

TV Land
so life is different than what they show us on TV
do dreams come true for everyone or just for Barbie
and I've been waiting here so very patiently
well it's been so long
it's been too long
i wonder what's wrong with me
i wanna know how to live in the real world
i wnna know cause im a real live girl

i wanna live in TV land with Mr. T and the A-team
my problems they could solve before the end of the show
i wanna live in TV land where they're so thin and pretty
they must be nice people cause the're 90210
in TV land

i wish i looked like all the nice actors on TV
sometimes you've got to choose between real and plastic surgery
just like the people on the television screen
Barbie's not a role model
she's only make believe
i wanna know how to live in the real world
i wanna know cause i'm a real live girl

i wanna life in TV land and be one of Charlie's angels
it must be fun to fight crime and have new clothes for every show
i wanna live in TV land like Samantha or Dream of Jeannie
my problems i could solve by wrinkling my nose
in TV land
i wanna live in TV land
we can change the world through the TV show
all kinds of people like we have in the real world
i wanna live in TV land make it safe to be ordinary
gonna do my own show
it's all about us real live girls
in TV land

Help Me Out God
help me out God
I neeed a little something
turn the brights on
i can't see where we're going
cause i dont know when things'll work out just fine
or if this road we're on leads us up
or is leading me on down to my wishing well
where i might drown
oh i might drown cause

i can't swim without you God

help me out God
i need a little something
hold my hand
so i know that i'm not falling down
or spinning round or am i really just fine
is this vertigo i feel just simply fear
or maybe real it's a long way down
and i might fall and i might fall

cause i can't stand without you God

help me out God
i need a little something
just enough so i don't lose hope
before morning comes
cause in the sun things'll work out just fine
but this night's been extra long
i fear i wont make it to the dawn
cause the night is dark and i might doubt
and i might doubt cause

i can't hope without you God

just enough for today and get me through til tomorrow

One Girl Revolution
i wear a disguise
i'm just your average jane
the super doesn't stand for model
but that doesn't mean i'm plain
if you all see is how i look
you miss the superchick within
and i christen you titanic
underestimate and swim

i've got the rifle
gonna be myself

i'll be everything
that i want to be
i am confidence in insecurity
i am a voice yet waiting to be heard
i'll shoot the shot bang that you hear round the world

i'm a one girl revolution

some people see the revolution but most only see the girl
i can lose my hard earned freedom
if my fear defines my world
i declare my independence from the critics and their stones
i can find my revolution i can learn to stand alone

Alright
there's so much on my mind lately
i can't make out my own thoughts anymore
i dont know where one begins and the other one ends
i wish that i could push a button and turn it all off
just for a little while
long enough to take a breath
and then i'll know

it'll be ok
it'll be alright

there's so much that needs done lately
i can't take out what's important anymore
i dont know where my needs begin and
someone else's ends
i dont wanna let anybody down
cause i feel like i'm falling down when i do
but for now would someone else please volunteer to say

life is hard for everyone
so let's blow it all off
just for a little while
let's take a break
it'll still be there when we get back
i always try to solve all our problems by working real hard
going just another mile
but every now and then i think we should let it go and say

this is my last verse
and it's for everyone feeling not so great today
we dont know what's coming just around the bend
always hard to believe in your own life
easier to find belief for a friend
i'll hope for you
you for me
and together we can say...

Let It Be
some people bring you gifts
some bring you bricks to weigh you down
so they can swim a little heigher
while you drown
some people mean so well
their way was the best way that they found
but any other way you choose
is a brick that weighs you down
so tell me what to do
i do with this backpack full of bricks and sticks and stones
and words that stuck to me like the ticks

let it go
let it be
brick by brick
we can be free of all the words
we saved till we were our own enemies
let it go
let it be
brick by brick
we can believe in the person
God intended us to be
let it be

some people give themselves a brick
i know most people do when we compare
we fall short somewhere
it's always true if we all see is where we fall
we've bricked a prison wall
instead of trying to learn to fly
we've taught ourselves to craw
we could belive in our selvesmore
we could try to be unique instead of trying to conform
we could defy what they tell us
don't buy the lies they sell us
if we're brave we can believe in what we are
