Artist: Bon Jovi Album: These Days (1995) Lyrics: (Jon Bon Jovi) I lost all faith in my God, in his religion too I told the angels they could sing their songs to someone new I lost all trust in my friends, I watched my heart turn to stone I thought that I was left to walk this wicked world alone Tonight I'll dust myself off Tonight I'll suck my gut in I'll face the night and I'll pretend I got something to believe in And I had lost touch with reason I watched life criticize the truth I've been waiting for a miracle I know you have too Though I know I won't win I'll take this one on the chin We'll raise a toast and I'll pretend I got something to believe in And I don't believe in Jesus, how can I believe The Pope? If I don't believe in heroin, how can I believe in dope? If there's nothing but survival, how can I believe in sin? The world that gives you nothing, I need something to believe in Something to believe in, something to believe in I don't believe in Jesus, how can I believe The Pope? If I don't believe in heroin, how can I believe in dope? If there's nothing but survival, how can I believe in sin? In a world that gives you nothing, I need something to believe in Something to believe in Hey, hey, hey, hey Something to believe in Hey, hey, hey, hey Something to believe in Hey, hey, hey, hey Something to believe in Hey, hey, hey, hey Something to believe in Hey, hey, hey, hey Something to believe in Hey, hey, hey, hey

Artist: Bon Jovi Album: Lost Highway (2007) Lyrics: (Jon Bon Jovi/Richie Sambora) Alarm clock rings, it's 6:45, Must have hit that snooze button least 3 times, Wishing this morning was still last night, On any other day, just might wanna die. Traffics backed up 20 miles to the east, Must have hit every damn red light on the street, Weatherman says "It's gonna rain for a week" Hey, what can you do? On any other day, I'd be blue eyes cryin' I could tell the world, 'At least I'm tryin' The clouds are breakin' The sun is shinin' new for me and you On any other day, I would just go crazy The grace is knowing that you're gonna save me Baby luck and love Will pull us through? On any other day Yeah, Yeah! On any other day, I might just stay in bed Sit down in a sea of blankets Pull them up over my head Get your papers in the morning Just to get a little edge Then maybe just give up in time to do it all again Hey, I like where this is going Yeah, 'cause I know where it's been On any other day, I'd be blue eyes cryin' I could tell the world, 'At least I'm tryin' The clouds are breakin' The sun is shinin' new for me and you On any other day, I would just go crazy The grace is knowing that you're gonna save me Baby luck and love Will pull us through? On any other day Alarm clock rings, it's 6:45 I like waking up with you on my mind Knowing that you're saving me One more time On any other day, I'd be blue eyes cryin' I could tell the world, 'At least I'm tryin' The clouds are breakin' The sun is shinin' new for me and you On any other day, I would just go crazy The grace is knowing that you're gonna save me Baby luck and love Will pull us through? On any other day Yeah, Yeah!

Artist: Bon Jovi Album: 2020 (2020) Lyrics: (Jon Bon Jovi) A storm is coming Let me be clear Your days are numbered The end is near The walls around you Are closing in It's too late for praying Sinner meets sin Once I came across your border Now they come to take me back I sleep with one eye open I don't make waves, I don't leave tracks For my daughter and my three sons It's the only life they've known To me it's my asylum These stars and stripes my home Blood in the water Who's jumping in? The devil's made his final offer Now the sharks are circling Blood in the water Our fates are sealed The devils greatest trick Was just to say he wasn't real Satan always used to love to say he wasn't real Lies are in the forecast The truth left with the tide I hear your shadow sold your secrets And he's gonna do some time They say the noose fits like a necktie Sir, you're gonna fit right in With some old familiar faces Sinner meets sin Blood in the water Who's jumping in? The devil's made his final offer Now the sharks are circling Blood in the water Our fates are sealed The devils greatest trick Was just to say he wasn't real Satan always used to love to say he wasn't real I'm no cable news reporter They got nothing new to say I'm the voice of the new order The star of "Anarchy Today" I'm the comments you keep reading At the bottom of the page I'm real power, I'm a patriot I'm a russian hack by trade A russian hack by trade Blood in the water Who's jumping in The devil's made his final offer Now the sharks are circling Blood in the water Our fates are sealed The devils greatest trick was just to say he wasn't real Blood in the water Blood in the water Now there's blood in the water Blood in the water

Artist: Bon Jovi Album: These Days* (1995) Lyrics: (Jon Bon Jovi/Richie Sambora) Some fifteen year old kid sits on his porch Just half-past noon, trying to figure out just what he's doing Why he had to grow up so soon With all the gangs, all the guns, watcha gonna learn in school? There's got to be some way out of here He says, "Man, this life is cruel" I knew this Puerto Rican girl who lied to change her life She changed her name, her face Because the grass looked greener on the other side She turned her back, she ran away straight into the night Her friends, her family feel the pain but she's the one who cries Tell me what you want Tell me what you need I want everything I've had enough of having nothing, I won't take just anything I got my mind set on something, all I want is everything It's my life Mr., I ain't running, I'm no puppet on a string I want more than I see coming All I want is everything, all I want is everything My next door neighbor Donnie Died in his room just the other day His brother come home Found him dead on the floor with a needle in his vein Cops come down with a body bag They said Donnie was a casualty I said, all it's about is the boy checked out He couldn't handle reality Tell me what you want Tell me what you need I want everything I've had enough of having nothing, I won't take just anything I got my mind set on something, all I want is everything It's my life Mr. I ain't running, I'm no puppet on a string I want more than I see coming All I want is everything, all I want is everything *as bonus-track

Artist: Bon Jovi Album: 2020 (2020) Lyrics: (Jon Bon Jovi) America's on fire There's protests in the street Her conscience has been looted And her soul is under a siege Another mother's crying as history repeats "I can't breathe" God damn those 8 long minutes Laying face down in cuffs on the ground Bystanders pleaded for mercy As one cop shoved a kid in the crowd When did a judge and a jury Become a badge and a knee On these streets Stay alive, stay alive Shine a light, stay alive Use your voice and you remember me American reckoning I'll never know what it's like To walk a mile in his shoes And I'll never have to have the talk So it don't happen to you Three little words written across the chest Of a 12-year-old who hasn't lived life yet Am I next? Am I next? Stay alive, stay alive Shine a light, stay alive Use your voice and you remember me American reckoning Is this a moment or movement? Is this the tide or a flood? Is our American reckoning? Our story written in blood Or in love Or in peace Stay alive, stay alive Shine a light, stay alive Use your voice and you remember me Stay alive, stay alive Shine a light, stay alive Use your voice and you remember me American reckoning In our American reckoning
