1.	I Don't Wanna leave The Playground 04:19	lyrics	buy track
There was a little boy in a country he was told was not his home He tried very hard to fit in, but he was always alone And then one day he saw the other children going out to play They told him to "get lost, fuck off home", and his father told him what to say No, I don't wanna leave the playground when I've done nothing wrong And don't you ever try to tell me that I don't belong here No, I don't wanna feel your hatred when I've done nothing wrong And don't you ever think that maybe we can get along now? Woh oh oh oh Woh oh oh oh oh Woh oh oh oh Woh oh oh oh Them children they laughed at him and they mocked at him and they stole his football He felt so ashamed and lonely that he ran away And when his father come home from work he say "What is wrong with you?" He told him to “Be proud, Stand up straight, and Remember what told you, boy!" No, I don't wanna leave the playground when I've done nothing wrong And don't you ever try to tell me that I don't belong here No, I don't wanna feel your hatred when I've done nothing wrong And don't you ever think that maybe we can get along now? Woh oh oh oh Woh oh oh oh oh Woh oh oh oh Woh oh oh Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Woh oh oh oh Woh oh oh oh oh Woh oh oh oh Woh oh oh oh No, I don't wanna leave the playground when I've done nothing wrong And don't you ever try to tell me that I don't belong here No, I don't wanna feel your hatred when I've done nothing wrong And don't you ever think that maybe we can get along now? Woh oh oh oh Woh oh oh oh oh Woh oh oh oh Woh oh oh Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Woh oh oh oh Woh oh oh oh oh Woh oh oh oh Woh oh oh oh

Something's going on and I can feel it in the air The winds are changing, stormy weather brewing baby, everywhere The temperature is rising higher and higher, every single day Strange emotions running through me, confuse me, in every single way But lately, I get a feeling everything is gonna be alright Lately, I got a feeling deep inside that I just cant hide And if its good enough, no matter what ever the weather If I have enough, I know i'll make lt last forever and have a good life Waiting for a change to come along and turn me round The wheels keep turning, driving me on but i ain’t goin', anywhere The road keeps climbing and every day its harder, something's gotta give Push myself on gotta do it, to prove it, cant let it all fall down But lately, I get a feeling everything is gonna be alright Lately, I got a feeling deep inside that I just cant hide And if its good enough, no matter what ever the weather If I have enough, I know i'll make lt last forever and have a good life But lately, I get a feeling everything is gonna be alright Lately, I got a feeling deep inside that I just cant hide And if its good enough, no matter what ever the weather If I have enough, I know i'll make lt last forever and have a good life
5.	Better Later Than Never 04:09	lyrics	buy track
The weaker you get the stronger you have to be to get back on it The further you fall the higher you've gotta climb to get on top of it The lessons you learn will show you how little you know 'bout anything Stumbling on, I know I'll get to the bottom of it eventually It's better later than never To turn around and see just who you wanna be It's better later than never It's better later than never To turn around and see just who you wanna be It's better later than never Life’s such a dick! the more you think about it, the harder it gets The deeper I dig to find the meaning of things, the more confused I get I try to be good and do the things that I should But I don't get it right every time At the end of my days I hope that ill be amazed At what I've accomplished here It's better later than never To turn around and see just who you wanna be It's better later than never It's better later than never To turn around and see just who you wanna be It's better later than never Better later than, never had the time To make up my mind if I wanna do dis ting Do I wanna go left? do I wanna go right? To do all de tings dat I fuck up in de last time Better later than never if you go there Better later than never if you go bare Better later than, better later than Better later than Better better later than never It's better later than never To turn around and see just who you wanna be It's better later than never It's better later than never To turn around and see just who you wanna be It's better later than never
