Turbine starts, engines whine
Rocket fire, you know it s blast off time Burning fuel, deadly tool Break the sky, shock wave blast, ripping fast The speed of sound, speed of sound The speed of sound, speed of sound Sonic boom, machine of doom The power to fly, bird s eye view,climbing to The speed of sound, speed of sound The speed of sound, speed of sound The speed of sound, speed of sound The speed of sound, speed of sound High speed flight, vapour trail Thunderous thrust, hear the engine s wail After burn, no return The angel s cry, searing speed, the power to exceed 02. Blood In The Playground
There were two young boys with a murderous
plan frustrated with their lives Evil thoughts went through their heads like a thousand knives No one thought they d really do it but much to our surprise Using guns their father bought was part of the demise They took their guns and ammo and one sat on the hill The other pulled the fire alarm and they waited for the kill Bullets flying People dying Blood in the playground Blood in the playground Blood in the playground On the bloody ground the people lay, some were already dead A teacher shielding her students took the wound from which she bled The perpetrators of this crime, they were apprehended This story is sad but true, that is how it ended It s saddening It s maddening Blood in the playground Blood in the playground 03. Deadbeat Dad
A failed marriage left the mother to care
Love is gone but the kid s are still there A broken home has become commonplace The look of anguish on the child s face Gone and lost Being there just for conception Made a promise that was all a deception Gone and lost Deadbeat dad, support he won t pay Deadbeat dad always staying away Deadbeat dad in disgrace and despair Deadbeat dad, to the kids it s not fair Biology can only go so far When your gone it leaves a scar Children learn to live without Being there is what it s all about Gone and lost Pay the cost Deadbeat dad lost in a haze Deadbeat dad set in his ways Deadbeat dad, a loser at heart Deadbeat dad won t do his part Deadbeat dad Deadbeat dad Deadbeat dad Deadbeat dad Deadbeat dad Deadbeat dad Deadbeat dad Deadbeat dad Deadbeat dad Deadbeat dad Deadbeat dad 04. Man Over Broad
There s a man over broad
Casting with his fishing rod Looking for a bite Catch a meal tonight On the star broad bow The seaman know just how Trawling from the stern On the hook your worm Baiting, waiting, anticipating Skinboat to tuna town Skinboat to tuna town Ship to shore Back for more Skinboat to tuna town Skinboat to tuna town There s a man over broad He ain t just catching cod Teach you how to whale On his ship you will sail Baiting, waiting, anticipating Skinboat to tuna town Ship to shore Back for more Skinboat to tuna town Skinboat to tuna town Skinboat to tuna town Skinboat to tuna town 05. No Evil
Living in a daydream is the way some people live
Stubborn in their ways, no compromise to give Locking out the real world, letting nothing in Believing that the world is bad and evil is within Hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil Influence and environment can be detrimental Hiding from reality, is sure to drive you mental You have to know the fact remains, evil won t disappear There is no sense spending your life living in fear Hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil Speak no evil, see no evil, hear no evil Taking on all obstacles and making a stand Not being like an ostrich with your head in the sand Good or bad accept it all, take it in stride Evil is abound, there is no place to hide 06. Bullshit
Bullshit is all that I hear
Bullshit, it s loud and clear Bullshit is all that I m fed Bullshit, by the nose I m led Bullshit, verbal diarrhea to me Bullshit, it flows like the sea Bullshit is all that they say Bullshit, 'til the end of the day Bullshit from the corporate whore Bullshit, with their marketing lure Bullshit, like crap on my shoe Bullshit is what they spew Lies that flow from a deceptive mouth are bullshit to me I don t fall for your twisted truth, stay away from me Bullshit, you lie like a rug Bullshit, so smart and smug Bullshit from your wife and your kid Bullshit for nothing you did Bullshit, it rings in my head Bullshit won t stop 'til I m dead Bullshit, you re drying the well Bullshit, you can go to hell 07. Matress Mambo
My favourite type of dancing is done upon a bed
Moving to the music that plays within my head Learning all the dance steps, point flex plie tendu Bending over backwards, on point I ll be for you Tarantella A midnight dance for me Mattress, mattress mambo Mattress, do the mattress mambo Bouncing off the headboard, slip on satin sheets Titillating tango in the bedroom can t be beat Waltzing Matilda A midnight dance with me Hiphop, Jazz and Breakdance, it all seems the same Moshing, Disco and Raving are all just as lame My favourite type of dancing is done upon a bed Moving to the music that plays within my head Tea for two A midnight dance for you 08. Secret Agent
You make a living by being a spy
Up for hire as a private eye Covert operation, tap a telephone Hack into a hard drive, you re on your own The fear of death is what keeps you alive A deadly mission you must survive You lurk in shadows, darkness a friend The lies begin and never end It's not for glamour and it's not for fame You have a number, not a name You take your chances out on a limb You make your chances not on a whim Secret agent, your law is a gun Secret agent, you trust no one Secret agent, a man in black Secret agent, a gun at your back Got to get away with what you can Got to make a secret plan Secret agent man! Truth is out there, you know it s a lie Trust no one, if you do you die Government deployed, what s at stake? Double agent out on the take Charged with treason, secrets to sell Signed in blood, a contract with hell Followed orders, no questions asked Suicide mission, could be your last Secret agent, nothing to do Secret agent, the cold war is through Secret agent, it's espionage Secret agent, it's sabotage 09. Live To Lead
You know I ve heard it all before, I ll hear it all again
I know just where I m going and I know just where I ve been I ve seen so many come and go but somehow I survive I know I will die someday, but I m glad to be alive Glad to be alive The strong survive I ve got a life to lead, I care if I succeed I got to find my way I ve got a life to lead, I take just what I need That's where I will stay That's where I ll stay I can t tell the future, I can t give a prophesy Doing what it take to make my destiny I can t help but wonder, but much to my surprise Doing what I want with no trace of compromise No compromise! I tell no lies! I ve got a life to lead, you know my soul is freed I m finding my way I ve got a life to lead, you know my soul is free 'Til the end of the day I don t know who said it first, losers never last Having no direction can make it end so fast See so many come and go but somehow I survive I know I will die someday, but I m glad to be alive Glad to be alive The strong survive I ve got a life to lead, I am the hardened breed I know the way I ve got a life to lead, I am the hardened breed You know I m here to stay Here to stay! 10. Park That Truck

Kick Some Us

I don't know I'm never looking back You know that that's a fact You know that I don't care I'll take on any dare I cut my teeth to speedy rock 'n' roll It's a great feat to score the winning goal I am a hurricane You know that I'm insane Push me an you will see Your butt is where my foot will be Let's go kick some ass Let's go raise some hell tonight Let's go kick some ass Do it 'cause it feels right Let's go raise some hell tonight Take me to a new height Let's go kick some ass Let's go raise some hell tonight Let's go kick some ass I pitch a fastball or slam a line drive Don't take no pitfall the way I sta yalive You know I'll make it plain You know I won't refrain Push me an you will see Your butt is where my foot will be Let's go kick some ass Let's go raise some hell tonight Let's go kick some ass Do it 'cause it feels right Let's go raise some hell tonight Take me to a new height Let's go kick some ass Let's go raise some hell tonight Let's go kick some ass Do it 'cause it feels right Let's go kick some ass Let's go kick some ass Let's go kick some ass Let's go kick some ass 12. Vengeance To Kill
I hate the world and everything that's in it
I want to kill them all, don't care if they know I did it I pack a gun I'm on the run And I'm not afraid to use it I hate the law and the justice system I think it's sad there's no shred of wisdom Turns my heart cold with hate Years go by, now it's late Chorus: Vengeance to kill Vengeance to kill Vengeance to kill Vengeance to kill Vengeance to kill Vengeance to kill Vengeance to kill Vengeance to kill I hate the world and don't think I can change it I want to kill them all but I'll probably never do it I pack a pen I hope I offend And I'm not afraid to use it Drive a point home to you Is all that I want to do -Chorus 2X- Vengeance to kill Vengeance to kill Vengeance to kill Vengeance to kill Vengeance to kill |
