Eye Contact

I'm having trouble making contact
He gives me the eye, I give it back
I know I come across as strong
But I can't hold on for long
He thinks I'm made of fire
But, oh my God, I'm made of ice
He thinks that I'm the driver
But I'm the, the rabbit in the headlights
Eyes, why do you give me away?
Eyes, why do you give me away?
I never, ever give the game away
But here is a game I wanna play
I keep my cards to my chest
But I got a hand I wanna test
I am a slave to no-one
So someone tell me what is going on
I'm not in love, I'm not in love,
I'm not in love, I'm not in love, oh
Eyes, why do you give me away?
Eyes, why do you give me away?
Eyes, why do you give me away?
Eyes, why do you give me away?
Rabbit in the headlights
Rabbit in the headlights
Oh, so tell me what is going on
Give me the answer that I want
So tell me what is going on
Give me the answer that I want
So tell me what is going on
Give me the answer that I want
Tell me what is going on
What is going on, what is going
Eyes, why do you give me away?
Eyes, why do you give me away?
Eyes, why do you give me away?
Eyes, why do you give me away?
Give me away

All Fall Down

Give them pills and they'll swallow
Give them rules and they'll follow
Train them up and they're hollow
Take them away from their mothers
Make them think they're all brothers
Give them the power over others
Pull the wool over their eyes
Make them think they're the good guys
Don't let them ask the hows, the whens or whys
They're all lies
Line them up and they'll all fall down
Line them up and they'll all fall down
Line them up and they'll all fall down
It's ok if it's legal
If they're not your own people
Just representing the Eagle
Put a gun into their hand
Let them think they're the big man
Don't let them ask if there's some kind of plan
There's no plan
Line them up and they'll all fall down
Line them up and they'll all fall down
Line them up and they'll all fall down
Hush, little baby, don't you cry
Mama's gonna sing you a lullaby
You'll be alright
If you close your eyes
If you close your eyes, you won't see what you've done
You won't see what you've done
Line them up and they'll all fall down
Line them up and they'll all fall down
Line them up and they'll all fall down
Line them up and they'll all fall down
Line them up and they'll all fall down
Line them up and they'll all fall down

The Final Say

You wanted me strong, you wanted me weak
Want me to watch how I speak
You want me to come, you want me to go
Want me to never say no
You want me to shine, you want me to hide
Want me to stay by your side
You want me to fail, you want me to fight
Want me to do everything right
So what you need from me is being perfect every single day, hey, baby
And what you mean is that you've always got to have your own way, hey, baby
You try to put me on a leash, d'you really think I'm gonna stay? Hey, baby
So what you mean is that you've always got to have the final say
You want me to laugh, you want me to cry
Want me to never ask why
You want my respect, you want my control
Want me to sell you my soul
You want me to break, you want me to heal
Want me to say how I feel
Here's how I feel
Here's how I feel
So what you need from me is being perfect every single day, hey, baby
And what you mean is that you've always got to have your own way, hey, baby
You try to put me on a leash, d'you really think I'm gonna stay? Hey, baby
So what you mean is that you've always got to have the final say
So what you need from me is being perfect every single day, hey, baby
And what you mean is that you've always got to have your own way, hey, baby
You try to put me on a leash, d'you really think I'm gonna stay? Hey, baby
So what you mean is that you've always got to have the final say
