When I'm movin to the beat
closer to the show
I feel it in my feet
feel it in my soul.
All the people that I know
are groovin' to the music
and when its time to go
they're so in it wanna stay another minute so...
Let's take the whole show home,
still got some tricks up my sleeve.
Gonna let this light shine on
so come on everybody
let's all sing along
ain't nothin' but a party
so won't you follow me
all the way down fourth street
'cause in Trigger City
people always rockin' and there ain't no sign of stoppin' so...
Let's take the whole show home,
still got some tricks up my sleeve.
Vibrations in the air
they bring us all together
enough for us to share
enough to last forever.
Now we don't wanna stop
sharin' that sensation
and when the sun comes up
it ain't over then gonna start it all again oh...
Let's take the whole show home,
still got some tricks up my sleeve.

The Choice
02:52
|

Once upon a time you had integrity
that went out the door your first opportunity
of makin' the big time.
Look within yourself, think of what you could be.
You made the choice, forgot originality
to play for a dime.
Everybody, everybody, everybody knows your name
but you got no shame
you're compromising for the sake of fame.
Are you happy now? Are you satisfied?
You're in the money yeah, but where went your pride
in the work that you're doing?
Money isn't all they said it would be, am i right?
I don't know about you but I'd rather be free.
You used to say that too but now...
Everybody, everybody, everybody knows your name
but you got no shame
you're compromising for the sake of fame.
Everybody, everybody, everybody knows your name
but you got no shame
you're compromising for the sake of fame
compromising for the sake of fame
compromising for the sake of fame.

Think
04:41
|
|||
Would you jump off a bridge if I told you that it felt nice?
Would you see the signs if I told you it was greener on the other side?
Some people walk through life
stumbling bling with eyes still wide.
Would you believe in a lie just to try and find a little peace of mind?
Peace of mind...
You look like someone who could see an opportunity.
I've got a plan that could stand to make a little something for you and me.
Hey friend won't you sign here?
Take my pen, try to write clear.
You signed away a lifetime blinded by the shine of a dollar sign.
See it shine.
Think for yourself
don't let anybody tell you otherwise.
Think for yourself
Try to read between the lines of black and white.
Do you think that its true if it comes from a new edition?
Would you call me false if I came from a valid opposition?
No one gets their problem solved
until they stop to hear it all.
Flawed intuition is darkness on a mission with the lights on.
Turn it on.
Obey what I say and achieve eternity
but if its war that I ask for go and raise a sword against your enemy.
You're fighting for the wrong laws
Dying for a lost cause.
See my gold teeth as I speak about the loss to your family
Think for yourself
don't let anybody tell you otherwise.
Think for yourself
Try to read between the lines of black and white.
Think for yourself
when they try to pull the wool over your eyes
try to see through their disguise.
Think for yourself
people out there they're trying to deceive you, mislead you,
and get what they need from you.
Think for yourself
don't let anybody tell you otherwise.
Think for yourself
Try to read between the lines of black and white.
Think for yourself
don't let anybody tell you otherwise.
Think for yourself
Try to read between the lines of black and white.

Equilibrium
04:11
|
|||
You'll never see the light without the dark.
You'll never know the cold until you met the warm sunshine.
The warmth of love will help you find the pain you left behind.
Can you tell me right from wrong?
Can you tell me right from wrong?
Until the world has done you harm you can never know equilibrium.
Do you feel the need to dance since you had the blues?
The times that you been lost can show you how you grown.
You can never find a home until you found yourself alone.
Can you tell me right from wrong?
Can you tell me right from wrong?
Until the world has done you harm you can never know equilibrium.
Can you tell me right from wrong?
Who's to say that life is fair among the dead?
'cause being down and failure bound lets you know when you're alive
we all try to coincide and set the scale of life.
Can you tell me right from wrong?
Until the world has done you harm you can never know equilibrium.
Equilibrium...

Madman
03:21
|
|||
Hey!
In the streets of the city
incoherently
mumblin' about conspiracy
paranoid
wearin' rags and paper bags
eatin' from the trash
no one makin' eye contact
Madman
won't you try to understand
believin' your delusions
you're headed for the institution
Madman
when you got blood on your hand
they're gonna throw away the key
Pent up rage about the bully
boilin' gradually
tippin' toward insanity
violent thoughts
pistol grips and ammo clips
in white knuckle fists
thinkin' that he just might slip
Madman
won't you try to understand
believin' your delusions
you're headed for the institution
Madman
when you got blood on your hand
they're gonna throw away the key
Hey!
Steppin' out the limousine
see his eyes flash green
monopolizing everything
psychopath
skull and bones in the closet
the unfortunate
victims of his lack of empathy
Oh madman
won't you try to understand
believin' your delusions
you're headed for the institution
Madman
when you got blood on your hand
they're gonna throw away the key

Boxcar Jimmy
03:15
|

Once there was a poor boy never had not mom and dad
a name was all he had
and it was Jim.
Met a man in in a boxcar
who gave him a guitar
and then leaned in and said to him...
When you got something
its something to lose
when you got nothing
you still got the blues
life's a catch twenty two
you can make your break but you can't escape your fate
A few years later, Jimmy had a big old band
and he took the hand
of a pretty little think named Pam.
But one night he came home
found her not alone in bed
they tried to run
so he drew his gun and said...
When you got something
its something to lose
when you got nothing
you still got the blues
life's a catch twenty two
you can make your break but you can't escape your fate
Sheriff caught Jimmy boy tryin' to cross the county line
gave him ninety-nine years time
but he broke out in five.
Then he hopped a freight train
guitar on his back
met a boy named Jack
and as he sat and passed his axe
he told him that...
When you got something
its something to lose
when you got nothing
you still got the blues
life's a catch twenty two
you can make your break but you can't escape your fate

Persistence
05:16
|

Don't know what to say so I let the music play and show me how.
Don't know how to tell you so I'll just let the music take you and show you now.
Let the music play and patience can repay you with love, love.
Love, love...
Can be meaning with words that mean nothing at all.
Just close your eyes and take this song as a ride through my mind.
Keep an open mind and keep an open eye for now
for a place where I belong just to keep me stayin' strong but I can't find it.
So I write this kind of song just to keep me hangin on for a while, now I'm waiting for
you, you...
Can be meaning with words that mean nothing at all.
Just close your eyes and take this song as a ride through my mind.
C'mon and hold on tight with all your might and find that long lost light.
Can be meaning with words that mean nothing at all.
Just close your eyes and take this song as a ride through my mind.
Can be meaning with words that mean nothing at all.
Just close your eyes and take this song as a ride through my mind.
C'mon and hold on tight with all your might and find that long lost light.

Movin' On
04:34
|

Broke down
small town.
No way
around.
Take me
away from here.
Unbound
I disappear without a sound.
Oh give me some means of transportation
cause what I'm facin' is wastin'
the best years of my life.
Give me a ride.
Livin' in this situation's
got me so impatient just waitin'
for an escape to arive.
Future
unknown.
Fortune
has shown
privilege
to those
who flow
surpassing all they ever known.
Oh give me some means of transportation
cause what I'm facin' is wastin'
the best years of my life.
Give me a ride.
Livin' in this situation's
got me so impatient just waitin'
for an escape to arive.
I know I need a change.
Its high time to rearrange.
Untie my ball and chain
and say goodbye
'cause in a static life
you have no room to grow.
C'mon give me some means of transportation
cause what I'm facin' is wastin'
the best years of my life.
Give me a ride.
Livin' in this situation's
got me so impatient just waitin'
for an escape to arive.

Heavy Weather
04:06
|

Heavy weather is all around
so come together and hunker down.
Close your windows and bolt the door.
Heavy weather, brace yourself for what's in store.
A new chapter is coming strong.
The calm thereafter can' last for long.
Adaptation, that's the plan.
Heavy weather, you never know what the wind is bringin' in.
When the stormin' clouds black out the sky
the wind can shake you to your bones.
When trouble's found you tries to drown you in its tide
look around you're not alone.
Pick up pieces and start again.
Life's diseases can wear you thin.
Habitation, its under siege.
Heavy weather is on the rise wherever you may be
open your eyes.
When the stormin' clouds black out the sky
the wind can shake you to your bones.
When trouble's found you tries to drown you in its tide
look around you're not alone.
You're not alone.
You know it can't,
you know it can't rain forever.
All I know
is when you're not alone
it can only get better.

Take Some Time
03:19
|
|||
Take some time and think about the ones you love.
You can never have enough love in your life.
When you feel alone just realize
that you're the love in someone else's eyes.
Take the time for something kind for those you love.
You know it don't take much just to let them know.
Life is short and bittersweet so let them see
that they're the love that lies behind your eyes.
Take some time and think about the ones you love.
You can never have enough love in your life.
When you feel alone just realize
that you're the love in someone else's eyes.
