Paroles - Traduction:
Flop Culture
When I was young I used to turn up the bass and
Rock out to Billie Jean and Thriller in my basement
When Michael Jackson was a pop sensation
Every second song on the radio
Remember Axle telling us to have patience
And records sold without any affiliation
When William hung and music still had no relation
Someone tell Janet bring back the rhythm nation.
No gloves, no zipper coats
No more yellow submarines or kokomos
If we could ask Luther Vandross
I bet he'd wonder the same...
Can ya tell me what happened to Michael Jackson?
And MTV trading music for acting?
Avril Lavignes on the cover of Maxim
Woah oh oh oh
And theres a million other people with a lot on their mind
But for me im not the type to let a good thing die
If we could bring the beatles back to rock it one more time
We could turn this mess around, one beat at a time.
When I was young I used to turn up my headphones
And flip through the pages of the Ro-oh-lling Stone
Used to turn it up to 10 on my drive home
With Mick Jagger singin “its only rock-n-roll”
No gloves, no zipper coats
Just rock stars eating their filet mignon
Where did Van Halen put guitar solos
I bet they'd wonder the same...
Can ya tell me what happened to Michael Jackson?
And MTV trading music for acting?
Avril Lavignes on the cover of Maxim
Woah oh oh oh
Can ya tell me what happened to Michael Jackson
And bands reuniting just to get a reaction
Britney should have never covered satisfaction
No no oh oh oh
And theres a million other people with a lot on their mind
But for me im not the type to let a good thing die
If we could bring the beatles back to rock it one more time
We could turn this mess around, one beat at a time.
You're killin' me softly with this whole
mirage. And replace the music with
hydraulic cars, I'll trade my first favorite
old fashion, If we could retrace the
steps we've made so far
Can ya tell me what happened to Michael Jackson?
And MTV trading music for acting?
Avril Lavignes on the cover of Maxim
Woah oh oh oh(x2)
Can ya tell me what happened to Michael Jackson
And bands reuniting just to get a reaction
Britney should have never covered satisfaction
No no oh oh oh
Culture Du Fiasco
Quand j'étais jeune, j'augmentais le son de la basse et
Je jouais du rock de Billy Jean et Thriller dans mon garage
Quand Michel Jackson était une sensation pop
Chaque seconde chanson à la radio
Rappelles-toi que Axl nous disait d'avoe la patience
Et des records de vente sans aucune affiliation
Quand William Hung et la musique n'avaient toujours aucune relation
Quelqu'un dit Janet, rend le rythme de la nation
Aucun gant, aucun manteau avec fermeture éclair
Aucun sous-marins jaunes ou kokomos
Si nous pourrions demander à Luther Vandross, je parie qu'il se demanderait la même chose
Peux-tu me dire ce qui est arrivé à Michel Jackson
Et MTV commerce de la musique pour du jeu
Avril Lavigne sur la couverture de Maxim
Woah-oh woah-oh-oh-oh
Et il y a un million d'autres personnes de leur avis
Mais pour moi je ne suis pas le type qui laisse une bonne chose mourir
Si nous pourrions rendre les Beatles pour le rock encore une fois
Nous pourrions tourner ce désordre autour du rythme
Quand j'étais jeune, j'augmentais le son de mon casque
Parcoures les pages des Rolling Stones
J'augmentais le son dans ma voiture en rentrant de ma promenade
Avec McJagur chantant "C'est juste du rock'n'roll"
Aucun gant, aucun manteau avec fermeture éclair
Juste des rockstars mangeant leur filet mignon
Où Van Halen a-t-il mis le solo de guitare ?
Je parie qu'ils se demanderaient la même chose
Peux-tu me dire ce qui est arrivé à Michel Jackson
Et MTV commerce de la musique pour du jeu
Avril Lavigne sur la couverture de Maxim
Woah-oh woah-oh-oh-oh
Peux-tu me dire ce qui est arrivé à Michel Jackson
Et des bandes se réunissant juste pour obtenir une réaction
Britney devrait ne jamais avoir couvert la satisfaction
Non, non woah-oh-oh-oh
Et il y a un million d'autres personnes de leur avis
Mais pour moi je ne suis pas le type qui laisse une bonne chose mourir
Si nous pourrions rendre les Beatles pour le rock encore une fois
Nous pourrions tourner ce désordre autour du rythme
Tu me tues, arrêtes de jouer avec ce mirage entier
Et de remplacer la musique par les voitures hydrauliques
Je commercerais ma première guitare démodée préférée
Si nous pourrions retracer les étapes nous avons fait jusqu'ici
Peux-tu me dire ce qui est arrivé à Michel Jackson
Et MTV commerce de la musique pour du jeu
Avril Lavigne sur la couverture de Maxim
Woah-oh woah-oh-oh-oh
Peux-tu me dire ce qui est arrivé à Michel Jackson
Et des bandes se réunissant juste pour obtenir une réaction
Britney devrait ne jamais avoir couvert la satisfaction
Non, non woah-oh-oh-oh

Six Candles
Your amazing but your taking too much time
I've only got six candles left
And I'm trying to keep this off my mind
It's getting darker bit it's the way they make feel
They try to fill my head with questions
They all doubt you but I know your real
If it takes time then I'll be patient
Know that I will stil believe
I'll take your hand and hold it tightly
Because I know you'll carry me
Take me high, Take me in, Take these last six candles
And when I'm tired, and wearing thin.
Give me the strength to carry on
Here I am, see my hands, take these last six candles
We're moving on, we'll keep, keep, moving on
And I'm so thankful for every breath I take
Theres not a moment that goes by
I waste wiping tears out of my crying face
Don't loos so sad, you've missed the point
I'm still so glad I knew you against the odds
I'll take my chances and burn this candle through you
If I could ever see the way you understand me
When no one else can see it
I know you surround me
I'll be the one who listens only when you tell me
Not walking but running, not talking, yellin
And they might never understand why I do what I do
But I can only speak my mind
And what I feel is true
I'll take a vow to be the only one who stands if it takes
All that I am, I will be standing, there, there
Six Cierges
Tu es étonnant mais tu prends trop de temps
J'ai seulement obtenu six cierges restant
Et j'essaye de le garder dans mon esprit
Cela devient plus sombre mais c'est la voie qu'ils font le sens
Ils essayent de remplir ma tête de questions
Ils doutent tous de toi mais je sais que vous êtes réel
S'il prend du temps alors je serai patient
Tu sais que je croirai toujours
Je prendrai ta main et la tiendrai fermement
Parce que je sais que tu me portes
[Refrain]
Prends-moi de haut, prends-moi dedans, prends ces six derniers cierges
Et quand je suis fatigué et le port de mince
Donnes-moi la force pour continuer
Me voici, voies mes mains, prends ces six derniers cierges
Nous avançons, nous allons continuer, continuer d'avancer
Et je suis tellement reconnaissant pour chaque respiration que je saisis
Il n'y a pas un instant qui passe
Je perds mon temps en essuyant des larmes sur mon visage pleurant
Ne regardes pas si tristement, tu as manqué le point
Je suis encore si heureux que je te savais contre toute attente
Je vais prendre mes chances et brûler ce cierge pour toi
[Refrain]
Si je pouvais voir la façon dont tu me comprends
Quand personne d'autre ne peut le voir
Je sais que tu m'entoures
Je serai celui qui écouterais seulement quand tu me le diras
Ne pas marcher mais courir, ne pas parler, hurler
Et ils pourraient ne jamais comprendre pourquoi je fais ce que je fais
Mais je ne peux parler que de mon esprit
Et ce que je ressens est vrai
Je vais prendre un voeu d'être le seul qui est, s'il faut
Tout ce que je suis, je serai debout, là, ici
[Refrain]x2

Next Big Thing
You're the next big thing
The next big thing
They're gonna wanna shake your hand
and take a picture with your band
Everyone will shut their mouths
'cause they wanna hear you out
And they're gonna know your name
'cause you're the next...
There's no way of knowing just where you were going
I'll take you for every last second and moment
"I'm so pleased to meet you", is how they will greet you
while they're looking over your shoulder
I've seen all the faces; been millions of places
It's taken a lot not to lose all my patience
For every good thing comes a whole lot of heartache
I'll try hard to learn from all of my mistakes
Hold me back in case I lose control
and you can say goodbye to the days of old
'Cause you're the next big thing
The next big thing
They're gonna wanna shake your hand
and take a picture with your band
Everyone will shut their mouths
'cause they wanna hear you out
And they're gonna know your name
'cause you're the next big thing
Everybody put your hands up
Uh huh
Now here you are
with few more friends and a nicer car
but do you really know what the meaning of life is?
You've got the gift to make a wish
Will you ever give in to it to make a difference?
Now the kids that come to your shows
see your face everywhere you go
There's no way of knowing just where you were going
I'll take you for every last second and moment
"I'm so pleased to meet you", is how they will greet you
while they're looking over your shoulder
I've seen all the faces; been millions of places
It's taken a lot not to lose all my patience
For every good thing comes a whole lot of heartache
I'll try hard to learn from all of my mistakes
Hold me back in case I lose control
and you can say goodbye to the days of old
'Cause you're the next big thing
The next big thing
They're gonna wanna shake your hand
and take a picture with your band
Everyone will shut their mouths
'cause they wanna hear you out
And they're gonna know your name
'cause you're the next big thing
'Cause you're the next big thing
The next big thing
They're gonna wanna shake your hand
and take a picture with your band
Everyone will shut their mouths
'cause they wanna hear you out
And they're gonna know your name
'cause you're the next big thing

America's Next Freak
this songs for the emo kids with the punk-rock, rockabilly screamo lids
and the crunk-rock, hip-hop, and metal queens
who still don't know what the heck that means
lets cheer for the real MCs
all the east, west, dirty south straight OGs
with the hippy rock, hardcore, altcountries
with the techno-industrial magazine
[pre-chorus]
I don't know where I fit in
but every time that records spins
I know the way it makes me feel
and I never tried to be your trend
never asked to be everyone's friend
I'm just who I am and that's life for real
and every time you try to just remember...
[chorus]
That I won't be America's Next Freak
I will not lay down every time you speak
and if all you see if you see is America's Next Freak
take me home, take me home, take me home---
this ones for the Philistines
and the beach boys rocking in the Philippines
with their twist top x-box strategies
all speaking French, Spanish, and Portuguese
and one time for the have-to-buy-it's
with their super low, low-carb atkin's diets
and the man with the plan in the courderoy
who just brought back the backstreet boys
[pre-chorus]
[chorus]
I don't see anything around me
I wont be, I wont be
I don't see anything around me
I wont be, I wont be
if you don't see, then me make blind
cause I wont see, I wont see
it makes me sick, it makes me smile
cause I wont be, I wont be
[chorus x2]

out with richard simmons she's a one of a
kind i can't get off my mind and i like it
that way

say...

there's no use in trying to get her off my
mind she stole my heart and she's tearing
it apart it's never gonna be the same

emotions a big swimmer that won't go
near the ocean and if everything's fine
she'll get to work on time and they like her
that way
she wears black socks with pink stripes in
'em and she swears that her friend goes

Nice Piece of Art
I've tried not to let anyone in until now
I guess conversations never allow
and I've been feeling like I'm on some sort of marry-go-round
And I know, I know, yeah I know, I know
And I've tried not to let anyone in until now
It took time for me to figure it out
and when I feel like I'm complacent with my
head in the clouds
And I know, I know, yeah I know, I know
and every time I wonder what's real you make me feel...
You make me feel like a lavender sweater
and I'm caught in bad weather,
In my Volkswagon Jetta
You make me feel like a complete work of art
when I'm just falling apart
A really nice piece of art
Dear God, (art, art, art...)
I hope you hear me (art, art, art...)
And I've tried not to let anyone in until now
Misunderstandings are an easy way out
And I've been feeling all this pressure just to figure it out
And I know, don't know, yeah I know, don't know
And I know if I can stay strong I can make it
and try harder when I just can't take it (can't take it)
And when everything around me feels so broken and jaded (broken and jaded)
And I know, I know, yeah I know, I know
and every time I wonder what's real you make me feel...
You make me feel like a lavender sweater
When I'm caught in bad weather
IN MY VOLKSWAGON JETTA
You make me feel like a complete work of art
when I'm just falling apart
A really nice piece of art
(art, art, art...)
It's kinda of warped, but it's picking up slowly
I don't know, but I can if you'll show me
I guess sometimes it takes more than just fake conversations
to feel like I know that
It's kinda hard when I'm planning for something
to get across this whole without jumping
I guess sometimes it takes more than just false information
to find out who we are
You make me feel like a lavender sweater
and I'm caught in bad weather
IN MY VOLKSWAGON JETTA
You make me feel like a complete work of art
when I'm just falling apart
A really nice piece of art

What It Feels Like
I know what it feels like to wish the day was
over, I know what it feels like to have
to start all over, I know what it feels like to
miss the punch line. While another
moment's passed me by
Don't try to phone, I'm not at home, I've left
And I'm never coming back, yeah-e-ah, Don't
try to page me, I'm not waiting, My mother
taught me that, yeah-e-ah
When I feel down and out, and there's no
one else around, There you are by my side,
always waiting, waiting Come take my hand
and let's ride, 'til the morning meets The
night, I'll be patiently waiting
I know what it feels like to have to say
you're sorry, I know what it feels like to be
misunderstood, I know what it feels like to
thank the ones before me, Not a moment I
don't try
When I feel down and out, and there's no
one else around, There you are by my side.
always waiting, waiting Come take my hand
and let's ride, 'til the morning meets The
night, I'll be patiently waiting
I'll be patient, I'll be patient,
I'll be patiently waiting.

Moment Of Truth
Here we are, in the best years of our lives.
With no way of knowing, when the
whee'll stop spinning cause we don't
know where we're going...
and here we are, on the best day of our lives.
And it's a go, lets make it last, so cheers you
all to that, 'cause this moment's never comin' back
I used to know her brother, but I never
knew I loved her, 'till the day she laid her
eyes on me. Now I'm jumpin' up and down,
she's the only one around, and she means
every little thing to me
I've got your picture in my wallet, and your
Phone number to call it, and I miss you more,
Whenever I think about you,. I've got
your mixed tape in my Walkman, been so
long since we've been talkin' and in a few
more days, we'll both hook up, forever and ever
And here I am, on the west coast of
American and I've been tryin' to think for weeks of
all the ways to ask you, And now
I've brought you to the place, Where I've
poured my heart out, a million times, for a million
reasons, To offer it to you
I used to know her brother, but I never
knew I loved her, 'till the day she laid her
eyes on me. Now I'm jumpin' up and down,
she's the only one around, and she means
every little thing to me
I've got your picture in my wallet, and your
Phone number to call it, and I miss you more,
Whenever I think about you,. I've got
your mixed tape in my Walkman, been so
long since we've been talkin' and in a few
more days, we'll both hook up, forever and ever
I used to know her brother, but I never
