We are the Capitol
03:50
|
|||
there's no dishonor in murder
gluttony is the norm
cut your face; disguise your soul
do not speak of the fire storm
there's no problem a pill can't fix
spend all day watching tv
the president now on the screen
lies about his victory
we all tune in
ready for the games to begin
we all want a show
we are the capitol
|

Much to Your Horror the reaping has claimed your soul
to capitol city all tributes must go
just a coal miner's daughter from district 12
just another sob story just another unknown
if no one sponsors you
what are you gonna do?
when everyone around you
wants to see you dead
a long time has passed since the start of the hunger games
the people have all passed but the situations still the same
sacrifice your songs and daughters put on a good show
you're the belle of the ball till you're dealt the death blow
Chorus
hunted by careers who seem to have no fear
hiding in a tree you can hear'em drawing ever near
will anyone help this poor coal miner's dauther
any assistance could save her from slaughter
Chorus

3. |
||||
there's a world im sure that just wants to know
who is this girl next to me burning up the show
but you have never been a mystery to me
and here we stand together for everyone to see
there's a million eyes
looking at you and I
still I realize
that it's likely we'll both soon die
and I don't think I can stand
so won't you hold my hand?
i can't seem to feel my hand anymore
it's not because you have such a firm hold
there's always been something about you I can't explain
and being next to you on fire, has me feeling faint
Chorus
|
||||
4. |
||||
i may just be a pawn in the capitols game
parade me around so everyone knows my name
force me to kill, force me to die
but you will know the truth when you look in my eye
you can steal me, away from my home
you can beat me, let all of panem know you're in control
you can kill me and I'll smile as I go
cause you can't use me
oh Katniss it sickens me so much
that the capitol has this kind of power over us
with all our poor and starving friends in district 12
I hope someday I'll see them all burning in Hell
Chorus
You can kill me; put my voice in the ground
but you can put out the flames; spreading all around
Chorus

Rue's Song
03:25
|
|||
I await to hear your song
Rue, what's happened to you:
I'm listening hard but i can't hear you sing
What is wrong, I can't hear your song
the Mocking Jays are not singing along
My Rue, what has happened to you?
our plan was to go and attack
destory their supplies, i'm sure they won't like that
but now the deed's been done but where have you gone?
the 1st 2 fires burned real high
the 3rd one's smoke never saw sky
I'm sure you had to run, but where have you gone?
I hear my Name called out at night
i'm coming rue please don't be affright
as my arrow hits my target i see i'm too late
a spear to the belly has sealed your fate
and now you wait to hear my song
rue, it's the least i can do
as i sing fall peacefully to sleep
and for the rest of my life
I think of you every night
My Rue, I wish I could've saved you
|
||||
6. |
||||
i always thought you had an angle
a sinister plan to get you more
i don't know all the reason why
but it don't matter anymore
i know cato hurt you badly
and you're no concern of his
that don't speak well
of the condition I'll find you in
I'm coming for you now
there's a chance we can both make it out
i don't know if you're alive
but i know you're not dead
so hold on if you know how
I'm coming for you now

It's Not a Game
03:07
|
|||
it don't seem right for me to think this is a good day
you have no idea all the things i want to say
i was a goner since that first day in school
there's not another who can compare to you
please don't tell me
that i don't love you
it's not a game
all I feel for you
i know I never stood a chance with you outside of this game
my leg is cut, I'm dying and in so much pain
but come here sweet heart give me a kiss
two star crossed lovers this chance I can't miss
Chorus

Behind
05:56
|
|||
I promised to take care of your family, you never even had to ask because i love you, i love you
i was prepared to see you die, i wasn't prepared for this, cause i love you, i love you
please don't leave me behind
the world seems to think that you're in love
when i see it i just want to cry
it always felt like you were mine
oh please don't leave me behind
you are always on my mind, cause in the mines it's the only way to survive, cause i love you, i love you
but you were taken away from me, a part of the capitol's stupid hunger games, but i still love you, i love you
we used to be able to talk about anything
and never have to speak at all
but now our silence leaves my ears ringing
do you really love him?
do I even want to know?
and now you're set to go on tour
and pretend that you're in love with him
someone tell me when will the torture end?
when will these games end?

Tools of the Trade
04:00
|
|||
*coughs* (hehe, I like it when albums leave weird things in them so I left it in here)
you push me and i'll push back
you destroyed all those innocents
who do you think you are?
I saw your planes bomb the hospital
it's an image none will forget
I don't care who you think we are
cause we're not just pawns
in your stupid games
we got people we love
we all have names
OH, we're not just tools of the trade
i'll point my arrows at your heart
if you wanna run, i'll give you a head start
oh, I'm coming after you
Chorus
|
||||
11. |
||||
I don't know what to think
i can't see what is real
are these lies in my head?
how am i supposed to feel
there's death all around
much of it I have caused
but know always and forever
you will be my love
i'm coming for you now
there's a chance we can both make it out
i don't know if you're alive
but i know that you're not dead
so hold on if you know how
I'm coming for you now

Home in District 12
04:02
|
|||
they reaped me away from my home
parade me around as if one of their own
i killed to survive and fought for my life
i never meant to cause so much strife
all i ever wanted was to go back home
to go hunting with gale
see peeta's cakes for sale
support prim and my mom
keep them fed, keep them strong
maj and the others, to see them all smile
sleep in my bed, dream for a little while
all i ever wanted was to go back home
home in district 12
the capitol and 13 all seem the same
i'll always be stuck here playingg their game
but i don't want to play i don't want to fight
how else can i get back to my old life?
chorus
the peace keepers laughed
and the food was a joke
the coal kept on moving
dug out by hard working folk
it was a bad dream but now it's a nightmare
as i survey the rubble
remember what once stood there
chorus
|
||||
13. |
||||
we shouldn't have to be alone
we should be more than friends
oh katniss
why do you treat me this way
i see your face light up every sunday
when we go out to hunt
oh girl why do you have to front?
out in our special place in the woods
trading our stories in tales
knowing if we're caught we might end up in jail
send your arrow into the heart of your prey
but you know i got a heart too
and it wants nothing more than to love you
silly catnip if you'd only give me a chance
i cant help my self, here's a kiss
if you choose peeta you're forever gonna miss this
Chorus
so many times we could've been killed
but with you by my side
if i said i wasn't happy it'd be a lie
play it up for the cameras, people and such
when we kiss i can't help but feel
that deep inside some of this is real
I hold you at night and I keep you safe
the nightmares never go away
with you I think we might just be okay
oh katniss let's play real or not real
do you love me?
I think I remember a time that you loved me
Chorus
