Why can't I just get high? 02:12
lyrics
buy track
Land of hope Made in your dreams People scream Or, so it seems Recognize when to lie Recognize when to die Now, why can’t I just get high? Liberty She’s a scream Plays the game like a queen Lesser men all agree We’re just pawns in her scene Now, why can’t I just get high?

Cardboard King 04:06
lyrics
buy track
Drift to sleep Far away Roll the dice Let’s make nice Melt the ice Ignore advice Mask yourself Destroy your kind One by one I’m going to use them And lose them again Destiny Followed me Cardboard king Token ring Hideaway Find a way Castaway Not today

Hey there, Jim 04:35
lyrics
buy track
Hey there Jim How’s the family Buried here in the yard No escape No surprises No remorse anymore Lost my friends And my family Lost them all in the war Kennedy Last man standing Check your soul at the door I would go If I could I’d go on anyway Take this knife And this letter Give it all to my kid Tell my wife And her family They are kind and their good But those days They are over When survival’s at stake We’re not sheep No we can’t be At least not anymore We’ll resist Don’t you worry We’re not going to war But the man On the TV Says we are all enemies He’ll do just What he pleases And we’ll die in the streets

Pay the Piper 03:03
lyrics
buy track
Terrified of your dreams Things are not what they seem There’s no more fairy tales We will never survive Unless we pay the piper Stall, fall, Crawl from this shell Before this hell Defines you Mausoleum Massive armies Coliseum Lions roaming Terracotta Fighting warriors They will never relent Until the day they find you Massive graves We’ll make our homes Speak out and then They’ll stone you Pick them off now One by one They will never relent Until the day they find you

Devil's Play 02:24
lyrics
buy track
Well, now somebody’s knocking at my door And I know who it is But not who it’s for It seems the devil wants to meet me To go for a ride She’s got a score to settle And I a secret to hide She said, now hey, hey. What’s your name? She said, now hey, hey. What’s your game? And I scratch and I cry But I got dirt in my eyes While you plan and devise all the ways we can die And we’ll dance and we’ll dance And you’ll scream and I’ll scream All we’ll all dream of things that we wish we had been And you’ll hope and I’ll hope And we’ll hang from a rope For the things we have seen and the things we have been Cursed little eyes filed with their lies Still hypnotized We are what we despise

Love the Bomb 04:49
lyrics
buy track
Tools Kill Fools Will Follow orders Because Fools Will use Tools to Kill And follow orders Because Now it’s all right And it’s ok Stay up all night And sleep all day OK I learned to love To love the bomb And let myself Rot away OK

Close the Door 04:53
lyrics
buy track
Before you even inquire Clear the thoughts from your mind It could be awhile Until the sun shines Close the door Come on inside Forget the world You knew before Come on give us a smile Because you know you and I Are at the end of the line Because of feckless minds Close the door Come on inside Forget the world You left behind In the history books We’ll be wiped from memory Victors write the words Might you know it makes right Before you even inquire Clear the thoughts from your mind It could be awhile Until the sun shines Close the door Come on inside Forget the world You knew before

Humanity on Offer 03:51
lyrics
buy track
Finding a main line Sniffing for that trail Everything seems fine If a living hell is what you think is all right Brought to you by the very best Humanity on offer In our faded rest Taken in by charms now You’ll never see it coming Because he’s going to take it all If a living hell is what you think is all right

Counting the Days 03:54
lyrics
buy track
Suffer life Suffer death Suffer your eyes Suffer your breath Plenty of people Lost in a fog Plenty of moves To make you feel small Take me home Come on now Exterminate Bring us home Nothing waits We’re all ill Of our own will The head is kill The heart it breaks

Regret is my only high 03:30
lyrics
buy track
I’ve seen your man on high Regret is my only high The citizens are on strike One of only five If I only knew you then I’m sure you wouldn’t mind Defeat it taste so sweet Knock you off of your feet

Your Absence is Bringing me Down 03:03
lyrics
buy track
Your absence is bringing me down Lately, it feels like you’re never at home It seems like you’re running around Your absence is bringing me down Sometimes, I pretend I’m the one that you love Someone that you want to hold close But then I wake up and you are gone Given the time that has changed us as we’ve grown Accustomed to our own petty goals Stripped ourselves of our souls Patience, that which I have none to show I’ve tried but I failed to hold You close to the seeds that we’ve sown

Without 03:28
lyrics
buy track
I swore not to hear you out One of us will go without Under the bridge A man, he shouts I found god, here on the ground
