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 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 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.
