There was a time, there never was a time, there was a time, if only in your mind
There was a time, when all the world was free
Where every child eats, and every child sleeps
Yes, there was a time
How could it come to this? This monumental cliff
There was a time, there never was a time, there was a time, if only in your mind
Were we just so young?
Or has our time now come?
There was a time, when horror stayed away
We kept our fears at bay, never stoked by evil men
There was a time
When we sang na na na na...

I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna wanna take no more
I been living every minute, every moment, like a silent storm
I am draining, it is raining, sick of saying it’s a total bore
Something’s coming, always coming, never reaching, never comes ashore
All of screaming eagles
Are more like sitting ducks
Getting picked off one by one
By the fox, by the fox
There’s a bottle, it is auburn, it is filled with a maybe cure
I don’t wanna, yes I wanna, I don’t know, years of back and forth
It’s chemistry, it’s devilry, it’s not for me, but I am who it’s for
Why so scared, why do I care, it’s just a dare, I know I’ve done much more
All of screaming eagles
Are more like sitting ducks
Getting picked off one by one
By the fox, by the fox
Gimme some closure, man, don’t care if it’s bad or good
Wrapped up with bow or twine, just make it all understood
There ain’t no going back, this was never Hollywood
So many open doors, just tell me, yes tell me, what it’s all been for?
What it’s all been for
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna wanna take no more
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna wanna take the cure
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna wanna taint the pure
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna wanna miss much more
I don’t wanna...miss much more, take the cure
I don’t wanna

Here We Are
03:36

I’ve been killing like an atom bomb
I’ve been spreading like bittersweet
I’ve been taking all your breath away
I’ve been cutting you down at the knees
Here we are
I’ve been feasting upon shallow souls
I’ve been preying on the old and weak
I’ve been shifting, I’ve been changing form
I’m forever playing hide and seek
Here we are

(It's a) Heartbreak
04:56
|

Friday night, no cops in sight, and there’s ashes on the ground
Spinning tires upside down on the last road out of town
The broken glass and heavy metal, screaming to the night
Teenage rage and burning dreams, and flashing red taillights
The last thing he said as he was running towards the door
Clenched the keys inside his fist, “You won’t see me no more”
It’s a heartbreak, it’s a heartbreak
It’s a heartbreak, it’s a heartbreaker...
Forbidden love, it's such a shame, in this day and age
All a judge and all a jury and all afraid of change
An endless fight in word and fist and you land them where you can
You’re beaten down, but never out, but how much can you stand?
Don’t let them have their way, don’t let them through the door
They’re gearing up for battle, they’re goading you to war
It’s a heartbreak, it’s a heart break
It’s a heartbreak, it’s a heartbreaker...
All against you, all alone
No one listening, no one is at home
Rising seas, burning Earth, point of no return has passed
The politicians move their mouths cause there’s a hand right up their ass
The oil lies and the coal dust flies, how much time is left?
The clock is ticking and we keep digging, digging to our death
Overwhelmed by sadness, exhausted by it all
Is this the age of madness? Is this the final fall?
It’s a heartbreak, yeah it’s a heartbreak…

Living in the bar light
Singing after midnight
May as well have been the Centrum
Right beside the men’s room
Looking like an angel
Knowing full and damn well
We’re crossing from the friend line
Lord, it’s about damn time
Oh, cross the line
Oh Andrea
Those Boston lights
Oh Andrea
Walking in your white boots
Down Somerville Avenue
Pretending I am all yours
You know I can’t take much more
Undercover holding hands
Maybe it was all a plan
Playing those Italian songs
You know Roselli can’t be wrong
Oh, cross the line
Oh Andrea
Those Boston lights
Oh Andrea
Girl I am changing because of you
And I’ll do anything that you want me to
Got you where I want you
Or you got me where you wanted to
Either way is fine with me
I’m exactly where I’m meant to be
Woke me up out of a long sleep
Lit a fire, gave it gasoline
Got me burning like I’ve never been
So c’mon let’s do it again
Oh, cross the line
Oh Andrea
Those Boston lights
Oh Andrea
Oh, are you mine?
Oh Andrea
Those Boston nights
Oh Andrea

Straight to your heart
03:50
|

Come on tonight
I got the moment right
And I got the moon on my side
She is the light
She’s a sore-eyed sight
And I can’t be late this time
All my life, yeah all my life
All my life has led me here
Tear it apart
Take it back to the start
No more maps, no more charts
Don’t say word
Don’t think, don’t concern
Just take me straight to your heart
Get in, let’s drive
Let’s blow this dive
And remember how it feels to be alive
No more last tries
No tired lines
Only what’s good for yourself
All your life, yeah all your life
All your life has led you here
Tear it apart
Take it back to the start
No more maps, no more charts
Don’t say word
Don’t think, don’t concern
Just take me straight to your heart
I know you feel that we are older now
I wish you didn’t think that way
And still the voices have a say somehow
I’m gonna shut em up one day, today
Come see the dawn
Put your blue jeans on
The sky is a million miles of gold
Never leave it to chance
That there’s one last dance
Better take it now by the hand
All our lives, yeah all our lives
All our lives have led us here
Tear it apart
Take it back to the start
No more maps, no more charts
Don’t say word
Don’t think, don’t concern
Just take me straight to your heart

Out of Control
03:38
|

Are you out there out there?
Out somewhere somehow?
I need it
Need you here and now
This love is taking control
Running among the ruin
This love is out of control
And I don’t know what I’m doing
Can you hear me?
I am down and out
Can you see me?
I fear I’m going to drown
This love is taking control
Running among the ruin
This love is out of control
And I don’t know what
Out of control
My darling
Forever I am bowed
My savior
With both hands reaching out
This love is taking control
Running among the ruin
This love is out of control
And I don’t know what I’m doing
Out of control

Mr. Megaphone
Go leave me alone
I won’t amplify
What you signify
Baby man can't understand
Cannot wrap your head around
You scream, and scream some more
Then flip the board
Mr. Megaphone
Go leave me alone
I won’t amplify
What you signify
Don’t care how you’re made
You are far too gone to save
Every word, so absurd
Dumbest shit I’ve ever heard
Baby man no understand
Cannot wrap your hands around
Every word is a lie, hope to die
Mr. Megaphone
Go leave me alone
I won’t amplify
What you signify
Mr. Megaphone

Poor Dick
02:39

I know you love me with my big Jew lips
You get so hard, just like a crucifix
You hear it pounding nightly in your brain
You push it down to live with all your pain
You hate the ladies cuz they think you’re dumb
Well after all you are your father’s son
You hate your neighbor they don’t look like you
Did I mention I’m a big bad Jew?
Yeah, you think you’re a man?
You got your gun in one
And your dick in your hand
I hear you whine and cry from dusk till dawn
Cuz you cannot get your khakis on
Cuz you cannot keep your tiki lit
Your Nazi haircut looks like Richie Rich
No one likes your stupid Pepe memes
And we can all smell your cum-stained jeans
You think freedom’s being taken from you
Tell me who did it? Was it the big bad Jews?
So, you think you’re a man?
You got your gun in one
Poor, poor Richard
Yeah, you think you’re a man
Poor, poor Richard
With your gun in your hand
Poor, poor Richard
Yeah, you think you’re a man
Poor, poor Richard
You got your gun in one
Yeah, your gun in one
And your dick in your hand
You think I’m pretty with my big Jew lips
You get so hard, stroke your crucifix
You think I’m pretty with my big Jew lips
You know you want it

I get the feeling that the ceiling ain’t holding up right
I get the sense that there’s no sense in trying to put up a fight
Gimme pills, gimme sleep, gimme caffeine gasoline
Prop me up with a crutch and fill me full of your energy
Rock and roll save my soul alright
I’m not working for the weekend
I’m just working to break even
Tell me what can I believe in now you’re gone?
Headphones on
I see the screen, hear screams, but they say it ain’t true
Pull the curtain back and see the facts staring right back at you
Gimme signs, gimme lines, gimme some of that ancient heal
Nevermind, got no time, gotta get back on the wheel
Rock and roll save my soul alright
I’m not working for the weekend
I’m just working to break even
Tell me what can I believe in now you’re gone?
Anger misdirected
Forward, inward-out projected
Open target unprotected, I am gone
Headphones on
It shouldn’t be this hard…
Scream of steam, into the stream, at the machine again
Another day, ringing haze, can you tell me how or when?
By my side mountains rise but I do not change in size
Live or die, open wide, here comes your culturcide
Rock and roll save my soul alright
I’m not working for the weekend
I’m just working to break even
Tell me what can I believe in now you’re gone?
Anger misdirected
Forward, inward-out projected
Open target unprotected, I am gone
I am gone with headphones on

Starved

I am starved for affection
I am starved for love
I am starved for attention
Come on, baby, gimme, I need some
Running on an hour’s sleep
Just tossing and turning in bed
Crashing and burning and going right outta my head
Trying to find where I went wrong
Scraping and scrounging for clues
Was it something I said or something I didn’t do?
You know I think about it
Every second I’m awake
I see you there in front of me
I see you turn away
I am starved for affection
I am starved for love
I am starved for attention
Come on, baby, gimme, I need some
Baby can’t you see me?
I see you staring right through
Like a ghost or someone you’ve forgotten you knew
I fear I'm fading out
Feel I’m slipping away
Going through the motions a little less everyday
You know I think about it
Every second I’m awake
I see you there in front of me
I see you turn away
I am starved for affection
I am starved for love
I am starved for attention
Come on, baby, gimme, I need some
I am yours for taking
I am yours for now
Ain’t that enough for something?
You got me feeling, baby, down and out
Do you remember me?
I am your knight in faded jeans
I give you everything you need
Will you believe in me?
I’ll take you from this misery
Who am I fooling?
It’s me who needs relief
Don’t know how much more I can take
Don’t know how much more I got left
I’m running in place and running out of breath
You know I think about it
Every second I’m awake
I see you there in front of me
I see you turn away
I am starved for affection
I am starved for love
I am starved for attention
Come on, baby, gimme, I need some
I am yours for taking
I am yours for now
Ain’t that enough for something?
You got me feeling, baby, down and out
