#28 SAVE ME by Shinedown
You could take our lives
Fill us up with lies
‘Cause I know where I’m going when I die
And I don’t even cry, middle finger to the sky
‘Cause I know where I’m going when I die
Yeah, ’cause even if I got to live a life of crime
You got it, I’mma get it never needed nine-to-five
I’ll push it to the limit ’til it’s time to say goodbye, that’s fine
‘Cause I know just where I’m going when I die, die, die
See me in the microscope, see me in the fish tank
Chicks want to know my real name plus the dick length
Me? I’m a scientist
God to a lab rat
Now I’m just a has-been rapper in the hazmat
Ducking straight shots, sewing up wounds
Filling up tombs
Let the bass boom
Blood everywhere, so chaotic
I’m a bullet with your name on it
Seeking body after body, and the Mayor Giuliani
Ain’t in office anymore but he’s still Illuminati
Death to the king, overthrow everything
They’ll be searching our apartments in an ATF sting
Get busy, the scum of the earth
Hold a black magic séance to summon my verse
I’m a walking skeleton
The zombie that will rush the crowd
Devil baby, I was born inside a mushroom cloud
You could take our lives
Fill us up with lies
‘Cause I know where I’m going when I die
And I don’t even cry, middle finger to the sky
‘Cause I know where I’m going when I die
Yeah, ’cause even if I got to live a life of crime
You got it, I’mma get it never needed nine-to-five
I’ll push it to the limit ’til it’s time to say goodbye, that’s fine
‘Cause I know just where I’m going when I die, die, die
Suicide music, nothing to fucking fool with
Full clip in an Uzi, shooting out of Suzukis
No excuse, we blast now splatter your goose down
Clapping like it’s the end, I ruin your fucking movie
Asking for passes homie, I’m not a cuby here to bang
Blow your brains all over your bitch’s boobies
Take me alive? Never, better to die free
I’m writing “fuck the police” inside a goodbye letter
Peace, fade to black, call the priest
Tell him to call heaven and save me a few seats
Sorry it’s so last minute, I’m bringing a few peeps
Body the lieutenant and took a shot at the chief
Sheesh, guess I got a little problem with authority
Tend to get a little bit gruesome and gory
Volume on ten if I got to get it in
Always keep a pistol grip pump sitting on my lap like a yorkie
You could take our lives
Fill us up with lies
‘Cause I know where I’m going when I die
And I don’t even cry, middle finger to the sky
‘Cause I know where I’m going when I die
Yeah, ’cause even if I got to live a life of crime
You got it, I’mma get it never needed nine-to-five
I’ll push it to the limit ’til it’s time to say goodbye, that’s fine
‘Cause I know just where I’m going when I die, die, die
Kill yourself, call me if you need some help
Kill yourself, call me if you need some help
Kill yourself, call me if you need some help
Kill yourself, call me if you need some help
Kill yourself, call me if you need some help
Kill yourself, call me if you need some help
Kill yourself, call me if you need some help
#29 YOU’RE ONLY HUMAN by Billy Joel who was suicidal
You’re having a hard time and lately you don’t feel so good
You’re getting a bad reputation in your neighborhood
It’s alright
It’s alright
Sometimes that’s what it takes
You’re only human
You’re allowed to make your share of mistakes
You better believe there will be times in your life
When you’ll be feeling like a stumbling fool
So take it from me you’ll learn more from your accidents
Than anything that you could ever learn at school
Don’t forget your second wind
Sooner or’ later you’ll get your second wind
It’s not always easy to be living in this world of pain
You’re gonna be crashing into stone walls again and again
It’s alright
It’s alright
Though you feel your heart break
You’re only human
You’re gonna have to deal with heartache
Just like a boxer in a title fight
You got to walk in that ring all alone
You’re not the only one who’s made mistakes
But they’re the only thing that you can truly call your own
Don’t forget your second wind
Wait in that corner until that breeze blows in
You’ve been keeping to yourself these days
‘Cause you’re thinking everything’s gone wrong
Sometimes you just want to lay down and die
That emotion can be so strong
But hold on
Till that old second wind comes along
You probably don’t want to hear advice from someone else
But I wouldn’t be telling you if I hadn’t been there myself
It’s alright
It’s alright
Sometimes that’s all it takes
We’re only human
We’re supposed to make mistakes
But I survived all those long lonely days
When it seemed I did not have a friend
‘Cause all I needed was a little faith
So I could catch my breath and face the world again
Don’t forget your second wind
Sooner or later you’ll feel that momentum kick in
Don’t forget your second wind
Sooner or later you’ll feel that momentum kick in
#30 FIRE AND RAIN by James Taylor
Just yesterday mornin’, they let me know you were gone
Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
I just can’t remember who to send it to
I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain
I’ve seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I’ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I’d see you again
Won’t you look down upon me, Jesus?
You’ve got to help me make a stand
You’ve just got to see me through another day
My body’s aching and my time is at hand
And I won’t make it any other way
Oh, I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain
I’ve seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I’ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I’d see you again
Been walking my mind to an easy time
My back turned towards the sun
Lord knows, when the cold wind blows
It’ll turn your head around
Well, there’s hours of time on the telephone line
To talk about things to come
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground
Oh, I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain
I’ve seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I’ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I’d see you, baby
One more time again, now
Thought I’d see you one more time again
There’s just a few things coming my way this time around, now
Thought I’d see you, thought I’d see you, fire and rain, now

Choose To Change
Radio Show … first aired in May of 2008. It was the nation’s first radio show that allowed listeners to read the lyrics as the songs play. Teen guest DJs suggest songs that either inspire positive self-esteem, equality, a healthy planet, peace, diversity or never giving up. After each song we discuss the message of the lyrics and how these songs can help youth, all over the world, choose to change things about themselves that may be holding them back from a life free of not feeling “good enough” and the self-bullying that results from feeling that way.
If you’d like to suggest songs for us to play and discuss, email the lyrics to: PreventBullyingNow@heyugly.org. If we use it on our show, we’ll send you a FREE T-shirt.
