    Arghh! I'm pretty sure the song is On Broadway, but the only version I can think of is by Geoge Benson, although I'm almost certain he wasn't the original performer.

    Buck-0-nine "I'm the man"

    Like I said in another thread, I've recently got some sense and stopped listening to rap crap so the past few months have been a breath of fresh air for me, so don't get mad if this is an obscure lyric.

    And she tried everyday
    With endless drive
    To make the grade
    Then one day
    She woke up to find
    The perfect girl
    Had lost her mind

    I have no idea who Buck-O-nine is, but I did a search and they did indeed perform the song. I was actually thinking of the original written by Joe Jackson, but I'll accept casey's answer.

    And I don't know about the lyrics he's quoted.

    Like I said a lot of the ones mentioned I've never heard of myself but it is a song from progressive metal band, though I'm not sure if this is a universally recognized category, so here is the full song.

    She can't stop pacing
    She never felt so alive
    Her thoughts are racing
    Set on overdrive

    It takes a village
    This she knows is true
    They're expecting her
    And she's got work to do

    He helplessly stands by
    It's meaningless to try
    As he rubs his red-rimmed eyes
    He says I've never seen her get this bad

    Even though she seems so high
    He knows that she can't fly
    And when she falls out of the sky
    He'll be standing by

    She was raised in a small midwestern town
    By a charming and eccentric loving father
    She was praised as the perfect teenage girl
    And everyone thought highly of her

    And she tried everyday
    With endless drive
    To make the grade
    Then one day
    She woke up to find
    The perfect girl
    Had lost her mind

    Once barely taking a break
    Now she sleeps the days away

    She helplessly stands by
    It's meaningless to try
    All she wants to do is cry
    No one ever knew she was so sad

    Cause even though she gets so high
    And thinks that she can fly
    She will fall out of the sky
    But in the face of misery
    She found hopefulness
    Feeling better
    She had weathered
    This depression

    Much to her advantage
    She resumed her frantic pace
    Boundless power
    Midnight hour
    She enjoyed the race

    And also I'm not sure but they seem to be a mostly European band, but if I get it here in Australia (the last place to get anything music related) then you can probably get it anywhere

    Ok this is probably too obscure so I'll try another one.

    (the anti-Americans of this board will probably like this one)

    Only in America
    We're slaves to be free
    Only in America we kill the unborn
    To make ends meet
    Only in America
    Sexuality is democracy
    Only in America we stamp our gold
    "In God We Trust"
    What is right or wrong
    I don't know who to believe in
    My soul sings a different song
    In America
    What is right or wrong
    I don't know who to believe in
    My soul sings a different song
    In America
    In America
    In America
    Church bells ringing
    Pass the plate around
    The choir is singing
    As their leader falls to the ground
    Please mister prophet man
    Tell me which way to go
    I gave my last dollar
    Can I still come to your show
    What is right or wrong
    I don't know who to believe in
    My soul sings a different song
    In America
    What is right or wrong
    I don't know who to believe in
    My soul sings a different song
    In America
    In America
    In America
    In America
    I am right and you are wrong
    I am right and you are wrong
    I am right and you are wrong
    No one's right and no one's wrong
    In America
    In America
    In America
    In America
    What is right or wrong
    I don't know who to believe in
    My soul sings a different song
    In America
    What is right or wrong
    I don't know who to believe in
    My soul sings a different song
    In America
    In America
    In America (What is right for you and me)
    In America

    Based on the refrain, I'd guess that it's called In America. I have a vague recollection of hearing the song, but, as I certainly don't have the CD that it's on, I need to take a stab at the band.

    Based on the lyrics, I'd imagine that it's a band with religious convictions, so I'd either guess early U2 when three of the four were seriously into religion or Creed. If you want to discount it because I guessed two bands, I won't be offended. (Of course, it probably doesn't matter as I'm probably wrong.)

    There's a place I like to hide,
    A doorway that I run through in the night,
    Relax child, you were there,
    But only didn't realize it and you were scared

    I'm taking two guesses here - I think it's Silent Lucidity, and if it is, then I think the band is Queensryche. Not sure about either answer, though.

    Okie dokie, then. :)

    Edit: I don't know what the hell happened, but the lyrics originally posted were not the lyrics I thought I posted (my apologies). Anyway, this what I wanted to post:

    I used to be a little boy
    So old in my shoes
    And what I choose is my choice
    What's a boy supposed to do?
    The killer in me is the killer in you
    My love
    I send this smile over to you
