I'll edit this post as things go along!

Chinese Democracy:

It don't really matter
Gonna find out for yourself
No, it don't really matter
Gonna leave this thing to
Somebody else

If they were missionaries
Real-time visionaries
Sittin' in a Chinese stew
To view my disinfatuation

I know that I'm a classic case
Watch my disenchanted face
Blame it on the Falun Gong
They seen the end
And you can't hold on now

'Cause it would take a lot more hate than you
To end the fascination
Even with an iron fist
More than you got to rule the nation
When all I've got is precious time

It don't really matter
Guess I'll keep it to myself
Said it don't really matter
It's time I look around
For somebody else

'Cause it would take a lot more time than you
Have got for masturbation
Even with your iron fist
More than you got to rule the nation
When all we've got is precious time
More than you've got to fool a nation
When all I've got is precious time

It don't really matter
I guess you'll find out for yourself
No, it don't really matter
So you can hear it now from somebody else

You think you got it all locked up inside
And if you feed 'em enough they'll die
It's like a walk in the park from a cell
Now you're keeping your own kind in hell
When your Great Wall rots blame yourself
While their arms reach out for your help
And you're out of time

Riad N' the Bedouins:

Riad and the Bedouins
Had a plan and thought they'd win
But I don't give a fuck 'bout them
'Cause I am crazy

Oh my salvation
And all my frustrations
Caught in the lies, no one had wove as well
Somewhere in time
Where only I could tell

Riad and the Bedouins
Say that's a war that you can't win
But I have had enough of them
And who can blame me

Sands of time and desert winds
Nomads and barbarians
I won't bend my will to them
You aggravate me

Oh my salvation
And all my frustrations
Caught in the lies, no one had wove as well
Somewhere in time
Where only I could tell

Oh, sweet salvation
And all my frustrations
Caught up in lies, no one had wove as well
Somewhere in time
Where only I could tell

Oh, sweet salvation
And all my frustrations
Caught in the lies
If you had wove so well
Somewhere in time
Then only I could tell

Riad and the Bedouins
Had a plan and thought they'd win

Riad and the Bedouins
Crossed the line and lost again

I.R.S.:

Is it true
What they
Say of
You

Gonna call the president
Gonna call a private eye
Gonna get the IRS
Gonna need the FBI
There's not any more
That I can do

All the reasons
That you gave
I'd follow you
To where you'd lead
And if that'd be
The end of time it's true

Wouldn't be the first time I've been wrong
Wouldn't be the last
I'm sure I've known
With all the rumors I could tell
Somethings didn't work so well
Well, anyway it feels the same

When you first told me you were gone
So long ago but I still held on
Through all the motions the love and the sex
And that's the truth and here's the worst yet
Would it even matter the things that I'd say
You made your mind up and gone anyway
And there's no use now in dragging it on
Shoulda seen it coming all along

Well, it's true
I had
My doubts of you

Gonna call the president
Gonna call myself a private eye
Gonna need the IRS
Gonna get the FBI
Gonna make this a federal case
Gonna wave it right down in your face
Read it baby with your morning news
With a sweet hangover and the headlines too now

I bet you think I'm doing this all for my health
I shoulda looked again babe at somebody else
Feeling like I've done way more than wrong
Feeling like I'm livin' inside of this song
Feeling like I'm just too tired to care
Feeling like I done more than my share
Could it be the way I've carried on
Like a broken record for so long

I'm gonna call the president
I'm gonna call a private eye
Gonna get the IRS
Gonna need myself the FBI

What shall I do
If I
Gave my heart to you
It's such a crime
You know it's true

Gonna call the president
Gonna get myself a private eye
Gonna need the IRS
Gonna get the FBI
Gonna make this a federal case
Gonna wave it right down in your face
Read it baby with your morning news
With a sweet hangover and the headlines too

It's not anymore that I can do

There Was a Time:

Broken glass and cigarettes
Writing on the wall
It was a bargain for the summer
And I thought I had it all
I was the one who gave you everything
The one who took the fall
You were the one who would do anything
The one who can't recall
Where she was while she was sleeping
In another woman's bed
Or the doctor's or their lawyer's
Or a stranger that she met
If there's nothing I can gain from this
Or anything at all
It'd be the knowledge that you gave me
When I thought I'd heard it all

It was a long time for you
It was a long time for me
It'd be a long time for anyone but
Looks like it's meant to be

Social class and registers
Cocaine in the hall
All the way from California
On the way to your next call
To those non-negotiations
To simulate a cause
For the betterment of evils
And your ways around the laws
That keep you up and sitting pretty
On a pedestal or bed
And now you're sleeping like an angel
Never mind who gave you head
If there's something I can make of this
Or anything at all
It'd be the devil hates a loser
And you thought you had it all

It was a wrong time for you
It was a wrong time for me
It was the wrong time for everyone but
Looks like I got to see for myself

If I could go back in time
To the place in my soul
There all alone
Lonely tear drops
Are calling you
But I don't wanna know it now
'Cause knowing you
It won't change a damn thing
But there was a time

Yeah, there was a time
I didn't wanna know at all
Didn't wanna know at all and I don't wanna know it now
Yeah, there was a time
Didn't wanna know at all
I didn't wanna know at all and I don't wanna know it now

I would do anything for you
There was a time
I would do anything for you
I would do anything for you
There was a time

I would do anything for you
There was a time
I would do anything for you
Yeah, there was a time
Didn't wanna know at all
I didn't wanna know it all and I don't want to know it now
I would do anything for you
Didn't wanna to know at all
I didn't wanna know at all and I don't wanna know it now

There was a time, there was a time

Sorry:

You like to hurt me
You know that you do
You like to think
In some way
That it's me
And not you

You like to have me
Jump and be good
But I don't want to do it

You don't know why
I won't act the way
You think I should

You thought they'd make me
Behave and submit

What were you thinking
'Cause I don't forget

You don't know why
I won't give in
To hell with the pressure
I'm not caving in

You know that I
Got under your skin
You sold your soul
But I won't let you win

You talk too much
You say I do
Difference is nobody cares about you

You've got all the answers
You know everything
Why nobody asked you
Is a mystery to me

I'm sorry for you
Not sorry for me
You don't know who in the hell to
Or not to believe

I'm sorry for you
Not sorry for me
You don't know who you can trust now
Or you should believe
You should believe

You don't know who you can trust now
Or you should believe

You close your eyes
All well and good
I'll kick your ass
like I said that I would

You tell them stories they'd rather believe
Use and confuse them
They're numb and naive

Truth is the truth hurts
Don't you agree

It's harder to live
With the truth about you
Than to live with
The lies about me

Nobody owes you
Not one goddamn thing
You know where to put your
Just shut up and sing

I'm sorry for you
Not sorry for me
You don't know who in the hell to
Or not to believe
I'm sorry for you
Not sorry for me
You chose to hurt those that love you
And won't set them free
Won't set them free
You chose to hurt those that love you
And won't set them free

You don't need
Anyone else to be
Sorry for you
You've got no heart
You can't see
All that you've done for me
I know the reasons
You tear me apart

Prostitute:

Seems like forever and a day

If my intentions
Are misunderstood
Please be kind
I've done all I should
I won't ask of you
What I would not do
Oh, I saw the damage in you
My fortunate one
The envy of you

Why would they
Tell me to please those
That laugh in my face
When all of the reasons
They've taught us
Fall over themselves
To give way

It's not a question
Whether my heart is true
Streamlined
I had to pull through
Look for a new
Beginning on you
Oh, I got a message for you
A better way
It's what I got to do
Forgive what you have
For what you might lose

What would you say
If I told you that I'm to blame
And what would you do
If I had to deny your name
Where would you go if I told you
I love You
And then walked away
And who should I turn to
If not for the ones
That you could not save

I told you when I found you
If there were doubts you
Should be careful and unafraid
Now they surround you
And all that amounts to
Is love that you fed by
Perversion and pain

So if my affections
Are misunderstood
And you decide
I'm up
To no good
Don't ask me to
Enjoy them
Just for you

Ask yourself
Why I would choose
To prostitute myself
To live with fortune and shame
When you should
Have turned to the hearts
Of the ones
That you would not save

I told you
When I found you
All that amounts to
Is love that you fed by
Perversion and pain

Catcher In The Rye:

When all is said and done
We're not the only ones
Who look at life this way
That's what the old folk's say
But every time I see them
Makes me wish I had a gun
If I thought that I was crazy
Well, I guess I'd have more fun
Guess I'd have more fun

The catcher in the rye again
Won't let you get away from him
It's just another day
Like today

You decide
'Cause I don't have to
And then they'll find
And I won't ask you
At anytime
Or long hereafter
If the cold outside's
As I'm imaging
It to be

The catcher in the rye again
Won't let you get away from him
It's just another day
Like today

When all is said and done
We're not the only ones
Who look at life this way
That's what the young folks say
As if they'd ever change
As to that were mine to say
But every time I see them
Makes me wish I had a gun
If I thought that I was crazy
Well, I guess I'd have more fun
Guess I'd have more fun
'Cause what used to be's not there for me
And ought to for someone
That belonged
Insane
Like I do

On an ordinary day
Not in an ordinary way
All at once the song I heard
No longer would it play
For anybody
Or anyone
That needed comfort from somebody
Needed comfort from someone
Who cared
To be
Not like you
And unlike me

And then the voices went away from me
Somehow you set the wheels in motion
That haunts our memories
You were the instrument
You were the one
How a body
Took a body
You gave that boy a gun

You took our innocence
Beyond our stares
Sometimes the only thing
We counted on
When no one else was there

Madagascar:

I won't be told anymore
That I've been brought down in this storm
And left so far out from the shore
That I can't find my way back, my way anymore
Oh no, I won't be told anymore
That I've been brought down in this storm
And left so far out from the shore
That I can't find my way back, my way anymore

Forgive them that tear down my soul
And bless them that they might grow old
And free them so that they may know
That it's never too late
For the many times what seemed like a memory
I've searched and found the ways
You used to lure me in
Oh, I found the ways
Oh, Why it had to be
Mired in denial and so afraid

If we ever find it's true
That we have the strength to choose
Oh, freedom or the chains
We held together

(Quotes)

I won't be told anymore
If we ever find it's true
That I've been brought down in this storm
That we have the strength to choose
And left so far out from the shore
Oh, freedom or the chains
That I can't find my way back, my way anymore
We held together
I won't be told anymore
If we ever find it's true
That I've been brought down in this storm
That we have the strength to choose
And left so far out from the shore
Oh, freedom or the chains
That I can't find my way back, my way anymore
We held together

Shackler's Revenge:

I've got a funny feeling
There's something wrong today
I've got a funny feeling
And it won't go away

I've got an itchy finger
And there'll be hell to pay
I'm gonna pull the trigger
And blow them all away

Don't ever try to tell me
How much you care for me
Don't ever try to tell me
How you are there for me

I don't believe there's a reason
I don't believe it
I don't believe there's a reason
I don't believe it

I've got a wicked demon
His hunger never fades
I've got an empty feeling
I won't be home today

Don't ever try to tell me
How much you care for me
Don't ever try to tell me
How you are there for me

I don't believe there's a reason
I don't believe it
I don't believe there's a reason
I don't believe it

I don't believe there's a reason
I don't believe it
I don't believe there's a reason
I don't believe it

No one is stopping you from
Doing what you want to do
No one is stopping you now
Stopping you now

I don't believe there's a reason
I don't believe it
I don't believe there's a reason
I don't believe it
I don't believe there's a reason
I don't believe it
I don't believe there's a reason
I don't believe it

So are all these updated lyrics then?

I think I'm the only person who hears "DO YOU wanna know it all" in TWAT instead of "DIDN'T wanna know it all" though.

You're not the only one. I hear:

Yeah, there was a time
Do you wanna know it all
Do you wanna know it all
Well, I don't wanna know it now

But sometimes I hear:

Yeah, there was a time
I didn't even wanna know at all
I didn't even wanna know at all
And I don't wanna know it now
