YEAH!!!
Ya see I left my soul by the side of the road, Somewhere down in Texas, Where the minister spoke, Said boy ya better find god, Cause you're destined for sin So I did a shot and smiled, With a black-tooth grin, What ever you say, What ever you think, Cowboy, Hillbilly what ever you say We love 'em and leave 'em, It's just a cowboy's way, Outlaw or redneck what ever you think, What's mine is mine, What's yours is mine, It's just a cowboy's way YEAH!!! Ya see I sold my soul at the cross in the road, Somewhere down in Texas where the devil had spoke, Said boy you wanna be somebody sign on the line, I said I gotta raise some hell so I ain't got the time, What ever you say, What ever you think, Cowboy, Hillbilly what ever you say We love 'em and leave 'em, It's just a cowboy's way, Outlaw or redneck what ever you think, What's mine is mine, What's yours is mine, It's just a cowboy's way It's just a Cowboys's It's just a Cowboys's It's just a Cowboys's It's just a Cowboys's way Reckless and worthless, Ya can't understand, Ain't got no reason to give a fuck, Just don't give a damn It's just a Cowboys's It's just a Cowboys's It's just a Cowboys's It's just a Cowboys's way Cowboy, Hillbilly what ever you say We love 'em and leave 'em, It's just a cowboy's way, Outlaw or redneck what ever you think, What's mine is mine, What's yours is mine, It's just a cowboy's way It's just a cowboy's... 02. Debt That All Men Pay
You wanna understand this,
But you don't know me except for what I told ya, Except for what I've shown ya, I'll crush all crisis in my life, and live it my own way, I've left t he weakness built by fools and brought the rage Fracture, rupture, shatter your world Hammer, butcher, slaughter your world I am the debt that all men pay, To die with honor, to die with strength I am the debt that all men pay, Won't die a coward, Won't die in vain, no You think you own me? Well you can't own this! I'm a fucking soldier, A goddamn warrior, I made a prom- ise to myself to rid my life of pain, I'll tow the line of pride in mind and leave behind disgrace My wish, my choice, my rule, my world My voice, my right, my cause, my world I am the debt that all men pay, To die with honor, To die with strength I am the debt that all men pay, Won't die a coward, Won't die in vain, no I fought this war and won, My one salvation has forsaken me, My hero's long since gone away They told me long ago to choose my battles one by one and fight to death until the bitter end I am the debt that all men pay, To die with honor, to die with strength I am the debt that all men pay I am the debt that all men pay 03.

Stampede
From the very beginning,
Knew I had something in me, A vision worthy of listening, But they said sit down boy, And they laughed at me gave me attention, Became my dissension, Right there made the decision, You're on your own boy, So I became a man You'll never understand what you've created Stampede, running over me, Death angels riding, It feels like I'm dying Stampede, that's crush-ing me, My temperature's rising, The demons inside me, Tear away all conviction, Beat him into submission, Threatening my existence, And abuse the boy, I'm numb to violence Buried deep, buried under, Like a nail- beating hammer, I'm the storm, I'm the thunder, I'm the lighting boy, no more striking me, I am the butcher, I've come to slaughter Stampede, running over me, Death angels riding, It feels like I'm dying Stampede, that's crushing me, My temperature's rising, The demons inside me, I am the wind, I am the rain, I am the flood, I am what you've created, And you've gone too far, Stampede, Running over me, Death angels riding, It feels like I'm dying, Stampede, That's crushing me, My temperature's rising, The demons inside me 05. Better Man
I know my enemy and I can't forget his name,
Distant memories of a man that just couldn't change, And though I've tried to set aside, I still carry them today When I look into the mirror I can still see his face, Oh lord Don't want to be like my father, I deserved a better man, A bigger man to help me down my road I cried a tear for my mother, She deserved a better man, A stronger man, To embrace her soul Ruined by a weaker man, A shallow man, The one who broke our home Though I was a young boy I can still remember everything, All the booze led to fights and abuse And I lived through it every day And though I try, To heal inside, My heart is just a vault for pain, I tried to snuff the candle, But I've been burnt by the flame, It's too late Don't want to be like my father, I deserved a better man, A bigger man to help me down my road I cried a tear for of my mother, She deserved a better man, A stronger man, To embrace her soul Ruined by a weaker man, A shallow man, The one who broke our home Saw him twenty years later in a store buyin' a jug of wine He said "hey there boy I'm living nearby We could catch up with a joint and share a bottle or two" I said "I'm sorry dad, don't wanna end up being you...no" Don't want to be like my father, I cried a tear for my mother, She deserved a better man, A stronger man, To embrace her soul Ruined by a weaker man, A shallow man, The one who broke our home 06. It's On!
You can't fight it,
No you got ta feed it to the fire, Hold your feet to the flames, You got it burnin', Stinging for the reason afterburning like a jet airplane you got ta build it till the scaffold hits the ceiling, Let me tell you it's a danger- ous place, You can't stop it raging like a pyre, Got more power than a runaway train it's in stereo, It's my heroin, gotta make my way to t he stage scream, my call so real, so raw, Take, my own, manipulate, I'm in, It's on ya can't stop it, No you can't rob it, It's an attitude of pure gasoline, You get that feeling that's filling up the building and it's blowing like a powder keg, You gotta bring it and cave in the goddamn ceiling, Own the pit and fucking dance t ill you bleed It sit s inside me, rebellion and uprising, Like the shotgun blast that laid you to waste It's in stereo, It's my heroin, Gotta make my way to the stage scream, My call so real, so raw, Take, my own, Manipulate, I'm in, It's on, Teeth, brick wall, Grit, bear all force, I own, Annihilate, Clench fist, It's on it's in stereo, It's my heroin, Gotta make my way to the stage scream, My call so real, So raw, Take, My own, Manipulate, I'm in, It's on, Teeth, Brick wall, Grit, bear all force, I own, Annihilate, Clench fist, It's on 07. Pole Rider
Don't give a damn about promise,
Or a diamond ring she's not built for comfort, She's built for speed She got a chip on her shoulder, A devious little thing She knows how to get what she wants, Don't give a damn what you t hink she don't care where she's going, But she's always ready to go She's at her best when She's ridin' the pole, If you got the cash, You got one hell of a show She's up, She's down, She's a pole rider She's on, She burns, She's hot, She's on fire, She's up, She's down, She's a pole rider She's in, She's up, She's on, She'll make your sunrise She knows just how to work ya, Little winks and a grin She ain't built for virtue, She's built for sin She ain't the little angel mom and daddy might think She threw away her halo, And she clipped off her wings, She's gotta get what you're holding and she's ready to show She's at her best when she's ridin' the pole, If you got the cash, You got one hell of a show She knows what she wants, And she knows what she needs She knows she needs money, To buy her shiny things She knows what you want, And she knows what you need Ya better know it takes money, To get her on her knees She don't care where she's going, She's always ready to go She's at her best when she's ridin' the pole, If you got the cash, You got one hell of a show She's up, She's down, She's a pole rider She's on, She burns, She's hot, She's on fire, She's up, She's down, She's a pole rider She's in, She's up, She's on, She'll make your sunrise 08. Cold As A Stone
I've got a hole in my heart and I made it just for you
I've got something up my sleeve, I wanna show you, It's my life's work of tragedy and turbulence, Now come with me and take a walk through violence, I can't help it that I'm sick, Or claustrophobic in my skin Cold as a stone, Hollow eyes and empty soul Broken like a bone, In a vice, Heart like coal I've got a hole in my head and I put it there because of you, I wrote something in this note that I left for you, It's all because of your selfish lack of love for me, I hope that my head on the wall will always remind you, Morbid pictures in your head, I'm so sorry for the mess Cold as a stone, Hollow eyes and empty soul Broken like a bone, In a vice, Heart like coal Dry your eyes, It was time for me to leave, Don't cry it was just my time and all you did was help me Cold as a stone, Hollow eyes and empty soul Broken like a bone, In a vice, Heart like coal Cold as a stone, Empty soul Broken like a bone, Heart like coal 09. Stand Or Walk Away
I was told that life is beautiful,
Well I'm not looking through those eyes, Wished upon a star and watched it fall away, Well that's just one more thing, That could never be forever, Everything I touch turns to the opposite of gold, It could be shit, It could be coal, That's just the way it goes, Do I lead them astray, Do I push them all away, I feel so cold, From the exit of my soul Don't know whether I should kill or cry, Don't know if I should live or die, Should I stand or walk away Don't know whether I should be myself or change Hold my ground or rearrange Should I stand or walk away I've been told that we live and learn, As I look through tear-soaked eyes, I'm full of scars but I'm not made of stone, And my heart's exposed, My transparent life of terror A sacred promise that's sealed by a ring of gold, It can't be bought, It can't be sold, But you have to keep a hold, Did I throw it away, Because of my ways, It feels so cold, Now that I have lost my soul Don't know whether I should kill or cry, Don't know if I should live or die, Should I stand or walk away Don't know whet her I should be myself or change Hold my ground or rearrange Should I stand or walk away My stomach aches as I feel the sting That runs through me Lay my head into my hands, Falling to the ground, I look up to the sky, Please help me find my way back home Don't know whether I should kill or cry, Live or die, Should I stand or walk away Don't know whether I should be myself or change Rearrange Should I stand or walk away 10. Alive And Well
We gotta get that something,
That little bit of anything, Anyway, Gotta do it for the dough, Gotta go, 'cause money makes you smile, Don't ya know Those little people that'll fuck ya, Do whatever they can just to get ahead, No matter what, No matter why, No matter who, No matter how, No better time than now, I'm always fighting, Am I alive and well or just wasting space My endless search for peace of mind Am I living life or just wasting time Trying to secure this piece of mine Put your money where your mouth is, Stuff it in, Stuff it fat, Stuff it full, Gotta get a bank roll, Gotta show 'cause being rich is a bitch, Don't ya know The fat cats that'll take ya for everything, Right in front of your face just to get a taste, Anything, Anyone, Anyplace, Anytime 'cause what you got's not yours is mine. I'm always fighting, Am I alive and well or just wasting space, My endless search for peace of mind, Am I living life or just wasting time Trying to secure this piece of mine Am I the living dead, Just a fool in line Waiting here to be robbed blind Have I given up or just giving in And let go of all that's mine Gotta get it, Gotta have it, I want it, So I'll just take it Am I alive and well or just wasting space, My endless search for peace of mind, Am I living life or just wasting time Trying to secure this piece of mine Am I the living dead, Just a fool in line Waiting here to be robbed blind Have I given up or just giving in And let go of all that's mine 11. Order The Sun
Pain and grief,
Keep us suffering Send the poor to war, Send the rich up to their suite Stranglehold, Hope unbeknown to me A sentence for the feeble and acquittals for the king Command the gods, Destroy the gods Order the sun to fall from the sky, So you can keep us in the dark, For the rest of our lives, Demand the oceans to freeze and ice So you can walk upon the water like Jesus Christ They want that we need, All hail to the chief Have the meager take the dive, To the affluent victory, It amazes me, The influence money brings Taxes for the homeless, And diamonds for the queen Command the gods, Destroy the gods Order the sun to fall from the sky, So you can keep us in the dark, For the rest of our lives, Demand the oceans to freeze and ice, So you can walk upon the water like Jesus Christ You've got our blood upon your hands, The foundation crumbling, As the demons sing Charge rockets to the sun, Sever blessings one by one, And let the angels weep You've got our blood upon your hands, The foundation crumbling, As the demons sing Charge rockets to the sun, Sever blessings one by one, And let the angels weep Order the sun to fall from the sky, So you can keep us in the dark, For the rest of our lives, Demand the oceans to freeze and ice, So you can walk upon the water like Jesus Christ You're not my god, You're not Jesus Christ |
