Not The Only One

I don't believe there isn't any other way
I don't believe there is a price we have to pay
When everything is ashes and the blood is washed away
Only the symptoms of a scandal will remain
And when we try to raise our voice it gets depressed
Beneath the sanctions of the heartless and insane
And I am not the only one
I don't care anymore
And I am not the only one
I don't care anymore
I don't believe in diplomatic policy
I don't believe in religious fantasy
Gotta make a living, gotta take it day by day
And I don't care about the headlines on the screen
Captivated by misfortune and tragedy
You've been enslaved by the media machine
And I am not the only one
I don't care anymore
And I am not the only one
I don't care anymore
Burn my eyes, bleed me dry
Watch them die, hear them suffer
Burn my eyes, bleed me dry
Watch them die, hear them suffer

A new verse to the same song
I've been writing it all along the way
Alexandria
A new break to the same day
I'll come back if you can wait for me
Alexandria
But my pockets are empty and my mind is blown
The bread is gone and I'm fucking stoned
Could this be St Louie or Indianapolis?
New York City bathed in the morning light
But you weren't there to see
I wanna be in California tonight
Alexandria
As we drive all night
Something just doesn't feel right to me
Alexandria
If I could stay there by your side
It might kill this aching inside of me
Alexandria
But I'll be setting up the stage and the barricades
Ripping up my fingers on the barricades
Could this be Milwaukee or Minneapolis?
New York City bathed in the morning light
But you weren't there to see
I wanna be in California tonight
Alexandria

Disarray
02:34
|
|||
|
Out on the street it's pissing rain again
Ignore the laughter and the blame
Every time you get up on your feet their gonna try to knock you down
Every day with a heavier heart you pick yourself up off the ground
They're calling you a fool
Because you're breaking all the rules
Hitting the smoke and missing school
Bury your misery
Social rhetoric and broken binds
Forsaken burdens of a solitary mind
Uncertainties surround your head and they don't lie
You take in the world through jaded eyes but they don't cry
They're calling you a fool
Because you're breaking all the rules
Hitting the smoke and missing school
Bury your misery
And you're out there on your own
You've been drinking all alone
And now you're never coming home to face your disarray
They stuff their pockets with more than they can hold
A fool's good fortune is never worth it's weight in gold

City Lights

I got money in my pocket and it's burning a hole
A fifth and a pint and I'll be ready to go
I got too many problems spinning out of control
So get in the van, I wanna go to the show
Let's rock n roll tonight
All night long under the city lights
Let's rock n roll tonight
All night long under the city lights
Well I'm shifting the gears but I ain't going nowhere
But with the stereo blasting, man I don't even care
I'm gonna hit the town until the damage is done
So let's get fucked up, I wanna have some fun
Let's rock n roll tonight
All night long under the city lights
Let's rock n roll tonight
All night long under the city lights
I feel like I've been gone for way too long...

The Architect
04:15
|

|
I spoke in layman's terms
But they could not understand
I built these city walls
With steady calloused hands
They marched upon my gates
One hundred thousand strong
I knew the verse they sang
My time had come and gone
They burned the temples down
But no god would hear my cries
They slashed me to the ground
And the blood ran down my side
Could you tell me one last time?
Will you hear my last request?
As I'm taking my last breath
Tell me you love me, Tell me you hate me
Stand beside me and then beat me without mercy
Elevate me, Eliminate me
I guess everyone could use a little more controversy
I saw my lover fall to hands of savagery
I saw the city walls reduced to mere debris
They named me at my birth
They made me who I am
And they came to destroy me in the end
Tell me you love me, Tell me you hate me
Stand beside me and then beat me without mercy
Elevate me, Eliminate me
I guess everyone could use a little more controversy
Liberate me, Devastate me
Decorate me and then peacefully disgrace me
Consecrate me, Desecrate me
Create me and then laugh as you erase me

Backseat Baby
03:19
|

|
It was 3am when she made me pull over on the highway
Southbound on the 101 in my Chevrolet
She was hitting the redline
Baby she was running way too hot
Staring into the headlights I knew she wasn't cooling off
She was humming along, but the radio was playing static
She was working the stick, but she was functioning like an automatic
She blew my doors off and she had four on the floor
I could tell right away that she was well maintained
With a 10/10 crank in her 4 bolt main
She was a backseat baby - I couldn't deny her
Backseat baby - She's got the keys to turn me on
Backseat baby - The car was on fire
Backseat baby - She's all I need to rock and roll
With her pink slip waiting at the finish line, I almost had it
But neck and neck and in a dead heat, I blew a gasket
She said "let's go for another spin"
But I was out of gas
And I was stranded on the side of the road
I had to thumb for a ride cuz she was ready to blow

Renegade
01:40

Some think that you're a degenerate
Some blame the broken mirror
Some say you've lost your direction
But your path's never been clearer
You gotta knock 'em down so they can see
Renegade - the crowd turns it's back on you
Renegade - allegiance to no one
Renegade - fuck the world that labeled you
Renegade - they've got you on the run
You may find yourself looking over your shoulder
As you ignore the regulations
You'll never know pleasantries or luxuries
But you can lead a generation
You gotta bite the hand that doesn't feed

Another Lie
03:13

I've tried to follow time, but it can't lead me
The days keep spinning by, the people come and go
I'll listen to your voice, it won't relieve me
Tell me everything's gonna be all right
I've tried to speak my mind, but it ain't easy
It seems like all these lines are so cliche
I'll strum the same three chords, but they won't ease me
Tell me everything's gonna be all right
Try to find some peace of mind
In remedies of the numbing kind
It's hard to see which way you're walking
Find your reflection look into your eyes and tell another lie
It's gonna be all right
Sitting in my room, the door won't open
The bottle's empty and the cigarettes are all gone
I was feeling disconnected from my emotions
Tell me everything's gonna be all right
Try to find some peace of mind
In remedies of the numbing kind
It's hard to see which way you're walking
Find your reflection look into your eyes and tell another lie
It's gonna be all right
And I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired
So many times they've turned their backs on me
I've been here once before, but I can't stay here anymore
Tell me everything's gonna be all right

Never Follow You
03:11

This ain't no fucking revolution
It's a matter of selfish corporate greed
The ignorant lead the blind to freedom
As the social elite prey on the weak
The irony of the democratic state
Enforce democracy? We call that tyranny
You're so much weaker than you think you are
Call the attack and when you turn away
We're gonna hit you back
Another coward with an empty heart
You turn to strike, but we won't fight
Never follow you
Mr. Filthy Politician
You'll burn in hell with your religion
We won't stand in line and wait
As you spill our blood upon our plates
You sweep your hand across the chessboard
The pawns fall to the floor
The old men lie
The young men die
You're so much weaker than you think you are
Call the attack and when you turn away
We're gonna hit you back
Another coward with an empty heart
You turn to strike, but we won't fight
Never follow you

Raise Your Glass
03:41

Back to the salt mines on another nine to five
Driving the nail in deeper everyday
I listen to the radio, but I can't seem to unwind
The new songs just ain't the same
So line 'em up bartender 1-2-3
Working all week can make a man weary
This service I will render to my friends
Comrades who broke their backs beside me
I feel a cold wind send a chill right down my spine
I see the clear blue sky laced with power lines
Raise your glass before you raise your temper
Raise your glass before you turn away
Tip your cap, this day will soon be gone
So tie one on and make another memory
Let's hit the boulevard side by side
And drown the dissension we conceived
We'll play the old songs one more time
We'll wear the trademark on our sleeves
And we'll pretend not to notice the rising tide
I won't pay the boatman til we reach the other side
Raise your glass to those we will remember
Raise your glass to the fields where we once played
Tip your cap, your requiem is calling your name
So cheers, my friend, salute! This round's on me

The Kids Don't Care
07:38

Remember the days when it all came down to one last song
Before the light was gone and the keg ran dry
The last 45 played on the stereo, we sang so proud
We live on but we never forget
The days won't die
Fists up in the air
We're gonna raise hell tonight
Fists up in the air, no end in sight - Oi Oi Destroy!
The kids don't care
We're gonna hit the streets tonight
The kids don't care what's wrong or right - Oi Oi Destroy!
Remember the nights when all the boys got drunk and hit the streets
Running from the cops down the avenues
They called it "blatant juvenile delinquency"
But I remember saying to myself
I'm gonna be young until the day I die
