Living it up Sucking it down Looking for fun No one`s around Nothing seems as cool as it used to be You’re damned if you do You’re damned if you don`t The damn nay-sayers won’t leave us alone Can`t get enough of fucking with me There used to be a time when I felt like a kid Now they make me sorry for everything that I did Come on let’s light this holy ship on fire Light it up and send the ashes higher Freedom is at stake and who’s to blame? We don’t give a damn We’re under destruction I ain’t done nothin’ but they say it’s a crime I don’t want theirs, but they want mine Somebody advocate I can’t get no relief Desperate measures for desperate times That side yours, this side mine I’m sick and tired of feeling like a disease There used to be a time when I felt like a kid Now they make me sorry for every mistake that I did Come on let’s light this holy ship on fire Light it up and send the ashes higher Freedom is at stake and who’s to blame? We don’t give a damn We’re under destruction Light the fuse of hope honey Make a believer out of me Living out on your own money Strike a match A fact’s is a fact And burn them motherfuckers off your ass Come on Come on let’s light this holy ship on fire Light it up and send the ashes higher Freedom is at stake and who’s to blame? We don’t give a damn We’re under destruction We don’t give a damn We’re under destruction We don’t give a damn We’re under destruction

I’m standing in the middle of doubt I finally took the time to figure it out I know the truth but the facts are wasted My point of view is just loathed and hated Don’t like the clothes I wear Don’t like the friends who care Don’t like the smoky air She don’t like my Rock and Roll Don’t like singing our songs Don’t like coming along Thinks I should stay at home She don’t like my Rock and Roll If you were me and you had to choose Between freedom and the devil’s dues Who’s the slave now and who’s the master Doesn’t matter when your life’s a disaster Don’t like the clothes I wear Don’t like my friends who care Don’t like the smoky air She don’t like my Rock and Roll Don’t like singing our songs Don’t like coming along Thinks I should stay at home She don’t like my Rock and Roll She don’t like my Rock and Roll I tried sharing the love but it just ain’t enough Now she’s home all alone while we’re here having fun So make some noise in the temple tonight Don’t like the clothes I wear Don’t like my friends who care Don’t like the smoky air She don’t like my Rock and Roll Don’t like singing our songs Don’t like coming along Thinks I should stay at home She don’t like my Rock and Roll She don’t like my Rock and Roll Don’t like singing our songs Don’t like coming along Thinks I should stay at home She don’t like my rock & roll

Desperate 03:38
I’m down and on my knees I’m begging you help me please Ain’t got a dime for gasoline I’m feeling down and out I’m in the middle of doubt Can’t seem to find just what I need In better times I’d never quit without a fight But now I’m desperate Desperate I’m losing all the heart in me I’m desperate Desperate Half the man I used to be I’m desperate Desperate Losing all the heart in me I’m desperate I’m searching for relief Some simple sign of peace To get me through another week Nowhere to call my home So lost and all alone Can’t make it on the blood I bleed In better times I’d never quit without a fight But now I’m desperate Desperate I’m losing all the heart in me I’m desperate Desperate Half the man I used to be I’m desperate Desperate Losing all the heart in me I’m desperate I can’t take it no more baby Cause I’m losing my mind I can’t live on the blood I bleed, no I ain’t got much time, no Desperate Losing all the heart in me Desperate Half the man I used to be Desperate Losing all the heart in me I can’t take it no more Desperate Desperate I’m losing all the heart in me I’m desperate Desperate I’m half the man I used to be I’m desperate Desperate I’m losing all the heart in me I’m desperate Desperate Half the man I used to be I’m desperate Desperate Losing all the heart in me I’m desperate Desperate Half the man I used to be I can’t take it no more Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Got no time now to feel the pain High driving hard through the driving rain We can’t see the forest through the trees Wait until the battle’s won Eye to eye until it’s done Can’t you please tear it down Wall of confusion No one believes in you now No one believes you Why do you need to shut us down Wall of confusion You’d better be gone before you meet me on the street yeah Rum and the herb and the nicotine Riding past glory like a summer’s dream Waiting for the race to run Eye to eye until it’s done Can’t you please tear it down Wall of confusion No one believes in you now No one believes you Why do you need to shut us down You’d better be gone before you meet me on the street yeah Can’t you please tear it down Wall of confusion No one believes in you now Can’t you please tear it down Wall of confusion No one believes in you now No one believes you Why do you need to shut us down Wall of confusion You’d better be gone before you meet me on the street You’d better be gone Or I’m gonna get you You’d better be gone Or I’m gonna get you You’d better be gone Oh yeah

On The Run 03:45
You know they’re right, they’re never wrong They say our time has come and gone Nothing feels as good as it used to be A broken heart, a lonely mind Leads you on and leads you blind Nothing left but hardcore memories We’re not satisfied to be down on our knees And they don’t give a damn Then it’s time to fight back if you can Now you’re on the run You’re on the run now You got a masterplan They’re gonna hold you down, take your crown Break you till the end Now you’re on the run You’re on the run now You got a masterplan Now you’re on the wrong side of right They’re gonna stop you if they can Now you’re on the run No matter what the life you lead The more they take, the more you bleed And day by day they’re getting kind of mean The air around you is getting thin The hate spreads out like swirling wind The questions lead to more pathetic lies We’re not satisfied to be down on our knees And they don’t give a damn Then it’s time to fight back if you can Now you’re on the run You’re on the run now You got a masterplan They’re gonna hold you down, take your crown Break you till the end Now you’re on the run You’re on the run now You got a masterplan Now you’re on the wrong side of right They’re gonna stop you if they can Now you’re on the run Now you’re on the run Now you’re on the run Masterplan Fight back if you can! Now you’re on the run You’re on the run now You got a masterplan They’re gonna hold you down, take your crown Break you till the end Now you’re on the run You’re on the run now You got a masterplan Now you’re on the wrong side of right They’re gonna stop you if they can Now you’re on the run Now you’re on the run Now you’re on the run Masterplan

Rush 04:18
I sold my soul for a one-way ticket I never looked back on the life I was living Rush Wasting my time with the weak and the wicked Handing out hope with the tools I was given I’m in a rush I got a one-way ticket to a place I’ve never seen I’m in a rush now I’m gonna burn my bridges cause there’s no retreat I’m in a rush I’m in a rush I got a one-way ticket to a place I’ve never seen I’m in a rush now I’m gonna burn my bridges cause there’s no retreat I’m in a rush I got a one-way ticket to a place I’ve never seen I’m in a rush now I’m gonna burn my bridges cause there’s no retreat I’m in a rush I’m out at sea, I need a rescue I might not come this way again If you’re like me, creature of virtue Or so we try to pretend Why waste you’re time with every doubt When you can break them walls We need the speed, figure it out So we can beat them all Can you feel me? I’m in a rush I got a one-way ticket to a place I’ve never seen, I’m in a rush now I’m gonna burn my bridges cause there’s no retreat, I’m in a rush I got a one-way ticket to a place I’ve never seen, I’m in a rush now I’m gonna burn my bridges cause there’s no retreat I’m in a rush I’m in a rush now I’m in a rush I’m gonna burn my bridges cause there’s no retreat I’m in a rush

Hot Cop Lady 02:52
Up in the sky there ain’t no heroes flying by Look straight ahead cause there’s a roadblock in my sights Oh yeah I see a white glove on her hand just wave me on Rolled down my window and said Officer what is wrong Hope I get busted tonight She’s a hot cop Hot cop lady One look in her eyes and every creep gets paralyzed She’s a hot cop Hot cop lady Lock me up tonight I’ve been a bad boy all my life Tall blonde and blue in them long black leather boots She’s got my number down There’s nothing I can do Hope I get busted tonight So please don’t make those handcuffs too tight She’s a hot cop Hot cop lady One look in her eyes and every creep gets paralyzed She’s a hot cop Hot cop lady Lock me up tonight I’ve been a bad boy all my life She’s a hot cop Hot cop lady One look in her eyes and every creep gets paralyzed She’s a hot cop Hot cop lady Lock me up tonight I’ve been a bad boy all my life She’s a hot cop Hot cop lady She’s a hot cop She’s a hot cop lady Hot cop Hot cop lady She’s a hot cop She’s a hot cop lady

Paralyzed Now that you know it’s all been lies Traumatized again From licking their boots till your tongue is warm and dry Where’s the everlasting love I feel my soul escaping now It’s not the kind you’re dreaming of It’s just real life breaking down We got one shot left in this town And we ain’t gonna let them through our dreams away now We’re the survivors We’re the survivors We’re the survivors It’s the soul escaping, real life breaking But we ain’t breaking down Crushing pain Life never ever felt so wrong Staying sane It keeps on going on and on and on We got one shot left in this town And we ain’t gonna let them through our dreams away now We’re the survivors We’re the survivors We’re the survivors It’s the soul escaping, real life breaking But we ain’t breaking down We’re the survivors We’re the survivors We’re the survivors It’s the soul escaping, real life breaking But we ain’t breaking down We’re living in a simulation And hopefully someday we’ll see The fruits of our imagination And everything they stole from you and me We’re the survivors We’re the survivors We’re the survivors We’re the survivors It’s the soul escaping, real life breaking But we ain’t breaking down We’re the survivors We’re the survivors We’re the survivors It’s the soul escaping, real life breaking But we ain’t breaking down

We are One 04:02
There ain’t no guarantees separated from fact When you’re up against the radical rise They got us quarantined lying flat on our backs Re-evaluating our lives Stare into the eyes of the wise men Tell them to explain what they mean They don’t really know what they’re doin’ And we just ain’t as dumb as they think It’s not paranoia It’s a lie We are the masses just like the ocean We are one We are one The mad majority is made of me and you And we ain’t gonna take it no more They had their chance to lead when they took control Now the rats are running straight for the door Stare into the eyes of the wise men Tell them to explain what they mean Don’t accept their lines without question Never stop reading between They’re not really sayin’ What they’re really meaning It’s a lie We are the masses just like the ocean We are one We are one We are the masses Just like the ocean We are one I want to know what secrets they are keeping Who knows if it’ll ever be our time? It’s a lie We are the masses Just like the ocean We are one We are one We are the masses Just like the ocean We are one We are one

Turn up the lights Turn off the fake and lend me your ears Can’t you see the world around you is cracked Do not accept what the elements say is real Don’t let them just take control and tell you how to feel Ain’t that a nightmare Feel the rage Lose the cage Be the hunter Don’t be the prey Hear what I say Be the hunter Turn up your gain Or you will fall into line with your radical fear Try as you must, you know you can’t outwit fate You’re good when you’re good But when you’re bad you’re better You know I love you in a turtleneck sweater Nowhere to run in this game of hide and seek Before they lock you in a cage, escape that nightmare Feel the rage Lose the cage Be the hunter Don’t be the prey Hear what I say Be the hunter Be the hunter Feel the rage Lose the cage Be the hunter Don’t be the prey Hear what I say Be the hunter
