You know, I see all you love hungry people  
Tryin’ your best to survive  
When right there in your hands  
Is a dying romance  
And your not even trying to keep it alive

This is important, because you need a whole lot more than money, you need more than to survive: you’ve got to keep your love, keep your love alive.

Oh no, not I, I will survive! Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I’ll stay alive. I’ve got all my life to live and I’ve got all my love to give, I will survive. I will survive, hey, hey!

It’s true.

I will survive. I _will_ survive, because as long as I know how to love, I know I’ll stay alive. 'Cause I got all my l life to live, and I’ve got all my love to give, and I’ll survive.

Well, you know, once _I_ had a love - and it was a gas. But soon, well, it turned out to be a pain in the ass. At the time, it seemed like the real thing; only to later find much mistrust.

Hey! I recognize her!

She’s got everything delightful, she’s got everything I need. Takes the wheel when I’m seeing double, pays my tickets when I speed.

Love is not a victory march  
It’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah.

Love is a battlefield. But we are young, heartache to heartache we stand. No promises, no demands. We are strong, no one can tell us we’re wrong.

No, I have to disagree. You see, love…is a burning thing. And it makes a fiery ring. Drowned by wild desire…I fell into a ring of fire. Yes, I fell into a burning ring of fire, I went down, down, down, and the flames went higher. And it burns, burns, burns, the ring of fire. Yeah, the ring of fire.

But it’s ok, because I keep a close watch on this heart of mine. I keep my eyes wide open all the time. I keep the ends out for the tie that binds. You know, I tell my wife sometimes that because she’s mine, I walk the line.

Which line would that be? Because I am a lineman for the county, and I drive the main roads searching in the sun for another overload.

I mean, let me tell you about the way she looked, the way she acts and the color of her hair. Her voice was soft and cool, her eyes were clear and bright. But she’s not there!

Her eyes? The light, the heat… Her eyes…I am complete. In her eyes I see the doorways to a thousand churches…the resolution to all my fruitless searches. Oh, I see the light and the heat…OH! I wanna be that complete…I want to touch the light, the heat I see in her eyes…

Of course, no-one knows what it’s like to be the bad man, to be the sad man, behind blue eyes… Nobody knows what it’s like to have these feelings…like I do…_and I blame you!_

And let it be said right here, Fred Durst - and any other moron who would release a lame remake of _half a freakin’ song_ - sucks.

Hold on, I’m confused.

What in the world can make a brown-eyed girl turn blue?

I’l just go la-la-la-la-la. Obviously, she’s got the look.

I got a girlfriend that’s better than that, she has the smoke in her eyes. She’s moving up, going right through my house; she’s gonna give me surprise.

They asked me how I knew my true love was true.

When your heart’s on fire, you must realize, smoke gets in your eyes.

But wouldn’t that make her brown eyes blue?

And then she gets up and pours herself a strong one  
And stares out at the stars up in the sky  
Another night, it’s gonna be a long one  
She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry
