Youngblood 02:32
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...

By the Fox 03:03
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

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

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

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

Headphones 04:16
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 04:30
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
