will it stop no one can say when
moving on toward the end
anything you want to recommend
stand up stand up
the time is now
rise up rise up
I’ll show you how
stand up stand up
you can’t back down
rise up rise up
you hear the sound
something new we’ve never seen
swallowed up in the machine
Road is clear conscience clean
Open your eyes and end this bad dream

ask for a weekend takes at least 5 years
talk about us winning falling on deaf ears
future is dying surging ever on
cant bring them home now drop a few more bombs
talks like a leader sounds like a putz
stands like a giant falls like a clutz
swings a mighty saber sticks it in his guts
roars like a lion babbles like a
mediocre savior to save us all
he’s gonna spin us dizzy until we fall
he’s a mediocre hero to keep us safe
tells us we’re moving forward while we’re running in place

I don’t believe what I want to believe
I only believe in truth
Not with a bang but a wimper
That’s how the story goes
Nothing remains but a cinder
there’s nothing left to show
and now the end is upon us
there’s nothing left to do
there’s no way back from the chaos
and its all down to you

Oh won’t you tell me where the time goes
Oh won’t you tell me where it goes
Oh can you make it last forever
It seems like everybody knows
Seems like we’re spinning round In Circles
Seems like we’re spinning round again
We never get to where we’re going
And everyone just takes offense
That’s okay
That’s all right
That’s what we need
That’s okay
That’s all right
Everyone will see
So many ways to go
So many things to know
So many faces to see
So many places to be

Chorus:
At the limit
of what I’ll take
At the limit
its gonna break
Verse 1:
Evidence is suspect
and there is no proof
its what you call progress
its what I call a spoof
Verse 2:
Business man says trust me
as he robs you blind
this is what we’ve come to
we’re a nation of lies
Bridge:
What seems like a simple truth
Treated like some thing you choose
(turned in to a thing you loose)
Verse 3:
they will try to tell you
that the facts are clear
and when you correct them
they just refuse to hear.
Other Bridge:
Don’t fall for it
Don’t believe the lies

Is it Me (2021 Version)
03:44
|
|||
Verse 1
Sometimes I feel disconnected
Sometimes I feel detached
Somedays I feel like a fraud
Somedays I feel like a liar.
Verse 2
Somedays I feel like a faker
Somedays I feel like I’m lost
Chorus
Is it me or is it you
I don’t know what to do
Verse 3
Sometimes I feel disconnected
Sometimes I feel detached

Bad Guy (2021 Version)
03:30
|
|||
I know what I want
you have what I need
you stand in my way
I’ll make you bleed
I have the will
I have the means
I’ve got the power
I will succeed
Ready aim fire
I have the stun gun
I have the mace
Wait while I spray it
into your face
I’m going to shock you
to outer space
do me a favor
stand in one place
I am a bad guy
I’m gonna show why
I am a bad guy
I aimed the taser
but shot myself
abort the mission
put it on the shelf
get under cover
right pretty swift
until I come back
to work my shift
|

verse 1 + 3
I hear it come around again and again
I can’t fight the change I can’t just pretend
I want to hit the road and hide away
I want to bury my head another day
Verse 2
If this is how it is I can’t go on
I can’t imagine how I was ever so wrong
So what do I do now with these new facts
I can’t figure out how I’m ‘sposed to act
Chorus
You stay strong
right or wrong
You believe
You decieve

Small (2021 Version)

|

Verse 1
Today is a new day
The snows falling down
the World spins the same way
thats how it is in this town
Verse 2
it all seems so hopeless
this endless routine
it all seems so pointless
this endless machine
Chorus
Hoping wishing guess it won’t help at all
Keep on dreaming that you’ll hear the right call
Know in your heart that you’re really that small
just give in and say the hell with it all
