I walk into the room 
                           You don't have to scream I can hear you 
                           Bad trip, the needle sticks 
                           You get your fix from confrontation 
                           I try to make it past 
                           I don't wanna get into it right now 
                           Can't this family have one day 
                           To get away from all the pain 
                           
                           And through the night I see the light 
                           Shining from the neighbor's windows 
                           I dream of life where i'm safe 
                           In a home where I am not alone 
                           Some day I will lay me down 
                           On the grass where everything is greener 
                           It always seems so good on the other side 
                           
                           I'm sick of all the heat 
                           You can taste the hate in the air 
                           Running through this family, uncomfortably 
                           It's burning me 
                           Is anybody there 
                           In your eyes there's nothing to see 
                           Just because your dreams have died 
                           Don't drag me down, I've still got mine 
                           
                           [chorus] 
                           
                           Neighbor boy runs up to me, his eyes all black and blue 
                           I say what happened to you boy, said my daddy flew 
                           Off the hook cause I was playin' too loud 
                           Guess he couldn't hear the tv 
                           He said son I'm a teach you a lesson 
                           And then he .... and then he.... 
                           (aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh...) 
                           
                           Maybe it's not so good on the other side 
                           Maybe it's not so good on the other side 
                           It always seems so good, on the other side 
                           It always looks so good .... it always seems so good 
                           It always seems so good on.. on the other side
