Do you want to shake the truth from every soul you meet? Does it feel like the worlds crashed down on you my dear old friend? Cause in the middle of the day Your habits are here You've been lied to Stoned out Drunk and in the brig… There onto you my friend Hanging out to days on end or punch the clock And one more time We'll be American Dope. American Dope. I'm in real pain you see. I'm nothing but angry Educated who cares? I'm American despair CHORUS: Yeah there coming for you Yeah it's in the formula get them on drugs Like pigs at the trough Keep em on the outside Until there ending is lost Meanwhile they are squeezing Everyone to be saved… The history books are written By religions they made And those drugs, drugs, dope, dope… Do you want to know the truth? My guess is that you don't Were we programmed by IBM? Fibonacci, Bible Codes? As we try to make our way In the changing world We can't hide our heads in the sand no more Cause there on to you my friend Hanging on for days on end or punch the clock And one more time we'll be American Dope Yeah there coming for you! Yeah it's in the formula to Get them on drugs Like pigs at the trough Keep em on the outside Until there ending is lost Meanwhile they are squeezing Everyone to be saved… history books are written By religions they made… And those drugs drugs dope yeah Yeah there coming for ya Yeah it's in the formula... Get them on drugs Like pigs at the trough Keep em on the outside Until there ending is lost Meanwhile they are squeezing Everyone to be saved… history books are written By religions they made… Drugs Drugs Dope Dope

Big Money 04:28
lyrics

Well it seems that you're all used up Of patience and tolerance You want to run from the madness For the sake of self So u take a walk downtown, the crowded streets have a story to tell back in the days you recall tattoos were worn by Sailors and Circus workers But it's Big money now Big money, yeah Everything's Big In Big Money town. ---- Chorus----- Shards of life slice through your past Watching thru the clouded glass a public train, you hear it squealing You see the people You're sick of feeling. An empty head Gets rented with time It's hard to find some peace of mind When your toiling just getting by The penalty don't fit the crime. …Of Big Money Speak money Speak my name Big Money Speak my name Big Money Now you can't get off the grid They gave you a number You were created with. Your just a unit Leveraged to the hilt. On somebody else's margin if you play the hand your dealt Yeah you make it to seventy two You collect what's coming to you You move south to Warmer days Doctor visits Evenings in the shade As you watch the traffic fade Your memories go, is that a good thing? You made it and you did your part, for… Big money now Big money huh? Everything's Big In Big Money town Big Money now Big money hey Everything's big in Big Money Town Back to chorus

Sometimes It Rhymes 02:43
lyrics

Sometimes It Rhymes    Just another cop out Another day of rain I was always looking around For a little bit of pain Yeah, I needn't bother to explain The battle fields are games I play The fly in the ointment And I just want to come down But I get lost in the thick           Am I ever going to find my way? Into the safety of the games that we'd play… Into your arms, I'll wait to find Well sometimes it rhymes Well sometimes   Love is a badge or a novelty Something to make me feel ok With me. Sometimes it rhymes   Frozen here in my tracks of depression I allude myself with your attention Yeah I know a lot of stuff little have I learned. take another drink Just to knock the blues out yeah Sometimes It Rhymes Sometimes It Rhymes   Frozen here in my tracks of depression I lose myself in your attention  Sometimes It Rhymes Sometimes It Rhymes Love is a badge or a novelty Something to make me feel ok Sometimes it Rhymes

The Other Side 03:28
lyrics
buy track
We watch the sky cause its calling We shed our tears for the fallen' And I don't recall deciding… It creeps up in the dead of night And I would wake up filled with fright The sheets are cold And the room is fire Tired of listless plight Can i make it right? Why don't you start cause its calling? Then shed our tears for the fallen Always searching for the guiding light To change ourselves. Yeah we walk through life Yeah we walk thru life I fell on the other side Of love And then it took me… Down…. onto the ground Just like all those other songs sing about I'm in a chemical haze and Your too cynical by now Its old age Deny what is fate And what has been Don't wake up Just jump right in. Go tell the world You sure are loaded In a house made of gold On your throne You led by aggressive wrath Turned into some total mess …I never wanted it …now I watch all you die So filled with the scams Into the slime you go Watching you fall We all have our moments But at one point in life we all Have to face the inevitable. And where do we go from here? where do we go from here? I don't want to go! The stop sign's mine Faithless, stressed, a chemical mind Major, sought after, Trial by fire Keep choking down relaxadone And leave yourself Try the other path Onto the other side Fell on the other side of love and then it took me…down.

You hide inside Another cloudy day Your rain soaked soul Wants to go out and play To find you out, someday Stand tall my little Sunflower Rise to the dawn and look to the east And find your way out of this mess That your world is in. And find your strength in the sun Cause, we are… Everything you thought you had Now everything just feels so sad But I know a place we can grow Chorus: My little Sunflower Sunflower Hey now Seeds don't grow in this barren soil Love is lost in angry words My little Sunflower You hide inside Another shades drawn day You hide inside Another cloudy day Your rain soaked soul Wants to go out and play For fun because We are… Everything You thought you had Now everything just makes you sad But I know a place where we can ROAM My little Sunflower

Here's wishing you luck when (sung four times) Here's wishing you luck When you're going down easy And the going gets risky You feel a little out of scene Cause it's party time in the nights of passion Pulling down mother nature's dreams in her painted on jeans Missionary, so contrary Cause with a little kiss You just can't miss Vacation Take a vacation girl. Uh huh take a vacation girl She says oh no oh no oh no I'm your baby Give me some dollar and I'll make you crazy. Come down, yeah Come down, yeah Come down yeah Come down yeah Cause love is swift and the swift get crazy Yes I know you’ll feed me just another lie! I was never that crazy then But mama take a look at me now Take a Vacation Girl I got fooled, yeah Take a fucking Vacation And let's kick it. Careful what you ask for You just might get it now Careful what you dream of Cause it always comes true? When you least expect it When no one loves… Well here's wishing you luck when(four times) So you take her home That makes you so cool Wish someone would tip there hat off to you Perhaps Vacation News? And now you're driving in cars You're in the big star syndrome American, a lover of what we call lust

Lunar Star 03:30
lyrics

Lunar star is falling Blankets on the earth Of those memories That come with every first Cause you’re a daisy chain and in the nights we'd fly Were gonna find our way We're going to make it somehow I keep going down - your way Don't you ever know? that there are times that I just want to say "Don't keep me hanging on" Yeah I won't give up again as far as I know There's time that I can win You wonder why you see me here alone I'm a graceless morning parked beneath your soul And tarnished memories Can always take me away So can I lift myself off the ground And try to change my ways? Lunar star is falling Leaves a sparkle fade Lunar daisy chains In those nights we'd fly Were gonna find our way We're going to make it somehow Just like our childhood days I wish you would fly now I keep going down - your way Don't you ever know? That there are times That I just want to say Don't keep me hanging on! Yeah I won't give up again As long as I know There's time enough to win

Driving Force 02:53
lyrics
buy track
I can't complain But I'm so sick of this It’s political theatre designed to Infiltrate the hate separates and divides A long gone united states There are so many blind It just blows my mind. Lost inside unsatisfied Since when do you get to decide? I feel a hatred brewing But not on the streets where I am living. It's just political rhyme Designed to romance your mind Dumb down it’s the American way I'm so lost in this race I never want to know about you Yeah I never want to know about you. Keep us in confusion yeah Lawsuits, bribery, our money is spent Lawyer us to the ground, it's your agenda Guitar solo It's an age old game Powered up by intolerance As the masses run scared They live in fear or ignorance. and the leaders of our kind We give the power too. They take and divide all I can do Baby is just roll my eyes Locked inside, unsatisfied Since when do you get to decide? I feel a hatred breeding But not on the streets where I am living. It's just political rhyme Designed to romance your mind Dumb down it’s the American way Whatever happened to civility and grace? Now I never want to know about you I never want to know about you. Keep us in confusion yeah Lawsuits, bribery, our money is spent Run us to the ground is your agenda

It's Alright But It's Never Enough 05:07
lyrics

Well I've been living here For some twenty years I feel the sun on my back I drew the one eyed Jack I want you to let you know That if you want to go It's no sweat to me I'm alright Yeah I'm alright Whatever you decide And if your moving on Yeah when the going gets tough Some take flight I would rather fight Yeah I would hold my ground It helps the world go round I'd rather crumble than to run away. I've got the wind in my sails I've walked the northern trails It's no sweat to me It's alright Well I'm alright With whatever you decide ================================== It wasn't so long ago lost in the circle of time Trying to find peace of mind Yeah it's only gold Hell it's only a stone! Well it's never enough Yeah it's never enough!! When I fell down that hole I was walking awful bold There's a target on my back I gotta walk the train tracks Cause that’s nowhere, I'll be found Its wasn't so long ago I was lost in a maze of pride Trying to find love Taken for a ride Yeah its only life Yeah it's all just in our minds Hey! It's never enough Yeah it's never enough I got to walk those dirty tracks Just to exercise the demons in the morning light And it hurt me in my youth To see you fall down in front of me. Yeah It wasn't such a long time ago.
