They're lining up in columns, they're lining up in pairs
They're lining up around the globe, they line up everywhere Without reservation, without cause to care Fuck the complication, last man standing, I heard the blowing siren, heard boots upon the ground Heard the brave in unison, hear their engines pound As God will be our witness, and evil is commanding Fuck the abdication last man standing Last man standing, last to fall, Last man rise to take it all Last define the best of what we do Last man standing, last to fall, Last to rise and take it all Last man in to tighten up the screw Get in the mix and fight The fever turned to anger, the anger turned to hate The hate became the reason, in the hands of fate Without reservation, pause to dedicate All our admiration., Last man standing Stronger by the dozen., stronger by score Stronger by the thousands, with a cry of war As god will be our witness and loyalty demanding Fuck obliteration, Last man standing All of our footsteps have taken us here to the place that we all can call home And all of our hearts sing together, in, what we bring, all in a place we call home 02. Believe In The Fight
Pissin'
Gimme some money, gimme the right Give me clear superiority I know it ain't funny, I know it ain't right, I know it's mediocrity Now I'm not one to piss on your parade Or take a bow as the flames get higher And I'm not one to be part of the charade And pretend they ain't pissin' Pissin' all over the fire And we're not going tired or slowing Quiet into the night And we're not leaving something to believe in When you think there's nothing left at all Believe in the fight And we do it In the dark, in the light, one last time, let's get it right With a heart as cold as ice, I believe in the fight What do you believe in In the dark, in the light, one last time, let's get it right When there's nothing left to believe in Believe in the fight I need a reason,I need a slap, I need hard core reality Change of the season, all full a crap, all full of virtuosity Now you're not one to piss on my parade To take a laugh as the bomb is exploding And I'm not one to be sharpening the blade And pretend ya ain't pissin', pissin' all over the... And we're not going tired or slowing Quiet into the night And we're not leaving something to believe in When you think there's nothing left at all Believe in the fight And we do it In the dark, in the light, one last time, let's get it right With a heart as cold as ice, I believe in the fight What do you believe in In the dark, in the light, one last time, let's get it right When there's nothing left to believe in Believe in the fight Bring it down Total devastation Let's bring the conversation into Born into the fight Lost in deprivation Let's bring the allegation into Born to get it right Everybody beat to a different drum Everybody wanna be number one Everybody walk before they run Everybody bite their lip and get it Born to get it right Born to die Born into the fight Born to get it right Everybody beat to a different drum Born to die Born into the fight Let's get it right! Born to get it right Everybody wanna be number one Born to die Born into the fight Who's left to fight?! And we're not going tired or slowing Quiet into the night And we're not leaving something to believe in When you think there's nothing left at all Believe in the fight And we do it In the dark, in the light, one last time, let's get it right With a heart as cold as ice, I believe in the fight What? What do you believe in? In the dark, in the light, one last time, let's get it right When there's nothing left to believe in Believe in the fight 03. Head Of A Pin
God give me strength to recover, God give me strength to overcome
God put together something good for me, that can't be undone Hand on the good book survival, hand shading eyes from the sun Hand in hand down that dirty road, we can't be undone, no it's number one How many times and how many crimes, no pill to break the fever How many more will walk through the door, turn doubter to believer When you're alone, say a little prayer for me Hey there Mr. Pilot, will you fly me to your hill? And I will start the riots, I will teach them how to kill When we finally get to heaven Absolved of all our sin, we will know how many angels On the head of a pin I prayed like I thought I was dying, prayed when I didn't believe Prayed all the time on the dirty road, with no reprieve Faith, drug of choice for the sinner, hope was the reason out done Trust in me, we are hand in hand, we can't be undone How many times and how many crimes, no pill to break the fever How many more will walk through the door, turn doubter to believer When you're alone, say a little prayer for me Hey there Mr. Pilot, will you fly me to your hill? And I will start the riots, I will teach them how to kill When we finally get to heaven Absolved of all our sin, we will know how many angels On the head of a... Low, fast and mean, we were killing the dream Came the roar of the pipes and a banshee scream And man held stop, didn't know what he mean So we burned on by, we were singing mean green Everybody said that they knew him well He was a man of God, but you really couldn't tell If the deal was real or if the angel fell But we were singing mean green on the way to hell Tear this place to the ground, stone and dust lay all around Don't you say exactly where you been, dance with the angels on the head of a pin Hey there Mr. Pilot, will you fly me to your hill? And I will start the riots, I will teach them how to kill When we finally get to heaven Absolved of all our sin, we will know how many angels On the head of a pin! On the head of a pin! On the head of a pin! On the head of a pin! 04. Bat Shit Crazy
Everybody out on the wing
Gone bat shit crazy Everybody don't know a thing 'bout sense anymore Conscious be your guide, life support And the truth is hazy Everybody gone to hell Say it's very hard to tell Don't you know they wish you well, so die Everyone bow to the morality king Don't think aloud, hey it don't mean a thing The people have spoke, those lips say we're lazy Everybody goin', Bat Shit Crazy Someone hit the big red button And the shit went viral And somebody pointed out That pig- nonconformist slob Said we rise above But sure seemed like a downward spiral I remember it like yesterday Seems it's died or gone away I've looked everywhere but now it's gone I remember it like yesterday Seems it's died and gone away I've looked everywhere but now it's gone Bat Shit Crazy 05. Distortion
I think of you when I'm feeling down
When my whole damn thing crashes to the ground With a dancing blaze seen in your eyes And a razor sharp tongue cuts through the lies Everybody wants some, but only few believe I won't be the first to overdose On what I want, not what I need Turn me up and play me loud I won't back down and will be proud to say Gimme what I want now Distortion I was born on the crest of a sonic wave And you always made the best of my chronic rage Distortion Turbo, blast, jet fuel and sucking your power Like the atomic clock strike on the hour Distortion Everybody wants some, but only few believe I won't be the first to overdose On what I want, not what I need Turn me up and play me loud I won't back down and will be proud to say Gimme what I want now Play what you feel, devil in the deal A heart of stone and a soul of steel Push it to the left, pull to the right Add a little dark, add a little bright He has put his finger on the blessed stack And beckons you to linger, before you attack Play what you feel, devil in the deal A heart of stone and a soul of steel Play what you feel, devil in the deal A heart of stone and a soul of steel Distortion Everybody wants some, but only few believe I won't be the first to overdose On what I want, not what I need Turn me up and play me loud I won't back down and will be proud to say Gimme what I want, gimme what I want Distortion Everybody wants some Distortion Distortion Everybody needs some Distortion Distortion 06. A Mother's Prayer
Gonna rise up mother, gonna take back what is mine
Gonna hold it tight in my hand, 'till the end of time And will you kiss my cheek as I toe the line And yes forgive the boyish gall Running through another wall I stand, I fall, I want it all I'm a shooting star across the night I'm a flaming wreck that's burning bright I don't care how you feel And that should seal the deal In a Mother's prayer, it's all, all right Let the game begin, let the chips fall where they may Let the devil grin, no peace for me Let the angels fly away And can we sit my arms around the fray And please forgive my soulless hate B ut not before it's all too late I stand, I fall, I want it all I take, I break, I'm your mistake C'mon, c'mon I'm begging forgiveness C'mon, c'mon, I enter the fray C'mon, c'mon, bestow the forgiveness C'mon, c'mon, a brand new day 07. Welcome To The Garden State
Chaly got the power
John Boy got the amps to match He's climbing up the tower To tap in to make our scratch Good standing card carrying Jersey boys Crank it up to a higher level U-haul cross the state line, don't fuck with a Jersey devil Welcome to the Garden State Come on in the water's great We're out of line and we got no time for you Welcome to the Garden State The best damn place in the U.S.A. You may not agree, you bitch and you moan I've been everywhere but it's never like home We loaded up the Pacer, liquid gold in a twelve ounce cans We're heading down the shore, With Proc, Cheetah, Evan and the band Out there where the medical waste And the water meets the sand Watch your mouth, want a fresh one Or you'll get the back of my hand Big haired, gum chewing, Jersey girls Good manners is what I hate She said, this is Billy from Philly Ok, get the fuck out of my state Backed up down the parkway, dead on 195 Turnpike has been crawling south and so is route 35 I got a taste for the best and it's better than the rest So pull it over if you please 08. Where Few Dare To Walk
Cross your 't's" and dot your 'i's', take note when the raven flies
And always keep one eye upon the fool Without fear or favor speak to them, with good behavior to condemn And keep the other eye upon the cruel Reach down deep, stand your ground We've only just begun Turn no cheek, in step and pound Until the job is done And walk, walk Call them out, on their shit , demand they listen when you talk Wear them down, bit by bit, and go where few dare to walk Do unto others, as unto you, bite down on the golden rule And always keep a match to lite the fuse Walk softly, carry a big stick, and disassemble brick by brick And never think the outcome is to lose Where few dare to Bite your lip, step in time, lean on me, up we climb Reach down deep, clench your fist, turn no cheek, to resist 09. Out On The Road-Kill
Running out of options, running out of road
Stopped to help me shoulder up my load Invisible can't hear us, we make no sight or sound We're heading due south to the underground Supreme power and an upper hand Imported in, from a foreign land Some bad motherfuckers asking , where you been I've been out on the road again Road kill, road kill and cash in hand Making hay in the native land Viva the uproar, viva the stand We gone out on the road again Casting them in iron, casting the first stone Stopped to breath, I knew we're not alone The first he was a lion, the second was a lamb The third held proclamations for the damned Don't leave me on the road Don't leave me on the road Don't leave me Hey don't you leave me on the road, on the road Hey can you help me with my load to carry Hey don't you leave me on the road, on the road Hey don't you leave me, leave me on the road 10. Hole In My Soul
Rode a million miles to shed my skin
I can't say much about the state I'm in There was a million trials, by fire to win I can't say much about where I been Who I seen, shed my skin, what I mean, who I am All that pain, in the tortured brain. The bodies, the death toll The last question, resurrection My spirit black as coal The mirror reflects, what's impossible to detect The ever growing hole inside my soul With all due respect, not to destroy or infect The missing piece that makes my spirit whole Hole in my soul Turned a million smiles, upside down Don't know much about this border town I could taste the bile, can you scratch my itch And I'd be obliged if you throw the switch Scratch my itch, throw the switch Shed my skin and throw the switch No pity on this lonesome outlaw Who rides across your land With a leather face and the devil's grin You can see right through me I'm a bad man 11. In Ashes
With time runing down...
You make ammends to the ones you have tried to destroy. So profound... To make ammends to the ones who have tried to destroy, you... As confusion mounts, As you fall in rank, The heart and mind, throbbing both go blank. If you're not afraid... Then why do you jump at the sound of my voice? If you're not afraid... With time running down... You've done all that you could to be close to your God. Life unfound... You've done all that you should to be far from your God's, hands... It blows like ash in the wind. I throw no stone for I've sinned. If you're not afraid Why do you question the good of your choice? If you're not afraid? If you're not afraid... Listen to for what you paid, but the speaker is a liar! Working hard for what you made, your values are on fire! Burning you down. Scramble for what's good and right, testament to the manic. The innocent flash before his eyes, the man begins his panic. Burning him down. What you are and what you've done is what you had to be. What you are and what you've done gets the better of me. Burning you down Burning you. Down. |
