The World

He's got the world on his back
He'll give you this he'll give you that
He's the type of dude you don't cut no slack X 2
Chorus:
But after all is said and done and it's too late
He's in your head, he's in your brain you learn to hate
He's got the wind under his wings
He'll sell you lies and diamond rings
He's the type of dude that will whistle and sing X 2
Solo (Tyler Morgan Guitar)
He's got the shake, He's got the wink
His big old smile will make you think
Before you know it, before you know it, before you know it
He's bought you a drink
Chorus

Freedom is a Shotgun
03:08
|
|||
|
C'mon, C'mon down from outer space
You found me here with that look upon my face
I've been here just once before well I packed up my bags
and walked out the door
Chorus:
Freedom is a Shotgun X 2
Up on the mountain top oh I scream
I'm sorry didn't mean to wake you from your dream
there is just one thing that I would like to say
c'mon c'mon get out of my way
Solo (Ray Yurkewycz)
You fire upon me with your hose
release your dogs your minds so closed
I've bit my tongue so many times
been thrown in jail while everyone is blind
Chorus

Pieces
02:24
|
|||
|
Well I'm out here looking for the pieces of my heart you smashed on the ground
well I'm looking you seem to have kicked them all around
Chorus:
Well I'll pick them up
I'll glue them back
well I'll ready myself for the next attack
Well I'm out here trying to find my way around
there's too many people dragging me down
Chorus
Well hello how are you? what's your name?
I really hope we are similar or the same.
Chorus

Other Day
02:59
|
|||
|
The other day the knife maker slit his wrists but it's all alright
The other day the rope maker hung himself out to dry
The other day a plane just up and fell from the sky
The other day I really began to wonder…
Chorus:
Why…..X 6
The other day the trapeze artist fell to the ground
The other day the boxer lost in the first round
The other day the swimmer just up and drown
The other day I looked for smiles and all I saw was….
Chorus
The other day I tried to make a sound without a voice
The other day I tried to make up my mind without a choice
The other day I tried to listen but only heard noise
The other day I picked up my guitar and put down my…
Chorus

Down the Tracks
02:47
|
|||
|
I've been down these tracks before
I've been down your back therefore
when the train comes I'll be gone
miles and miles and I'll be gone
C'mon, C'mon, C'mon, C'mon
The crazy seas are making me sick
the tension in the air is getting thick
It's time to say my goodbye
bring it back to the inside high
C'mon, C'mon, C'mon, C'mon
(Solo Ray Yurkewycz)
The road bends and the road it curves
Out of control with too many beer
I'm trying trying not to swerve
confronting my worst fears
C'mon, C'mon, C'mon, C'mon

A Dime
03:34
|
|||
|
If these walls could talk this house would have fallen to the ground
and if this city could scream it would up and and drown
Chorus:
And if I had a dime
And the frame of mind
And I had committed no crime
it would have been so fine
I wish I would have told you just how I feel
then I would've, I could've, I should've been just a little more real
Chorus
(Solo - Ray Yurkewycz)
I wrestle with my thoughts bury them so deep
And all my lies and innocence I could never ever keep
Chorus
|

From the Heart
02:33
|
|||
|
Everything just comes from the heart
take me back to the start
remembering the first thing I said
and how it made your face turn red
Chorus:
It's got to come from the heart X 2
Every time that I open my mouth
well these words just fall right out
I thought I told you all that you need to know
all that you need to know about
Chorus
(solo - Ray Yurkewycz)
It's not the same and we are drifting apart
I wish you would have got to know me
I really feel like a boat on the ocean
or a captain lost at sea
Chorus

Rising Tide
04:05
|
|||
|
Water is all around our feet
as we try to find ways to beat the heat
the earth keeps spinning and spinning
always losing and never winning
Chorus:
Ahh you try to swim so far away X 2
It's moved up to our knees
oh just sit back and enjoy the breeze
pounds of pollutants into the air
pedal to the metal without a care
Chorus
Ice caps melting ahh they are slipping away
The water is now covering our face
all the damage has been done
it can never be erased
Chorus
round my feet, knees, waist, face over my head
soon enough we will all be dead X 2
Chorus

Stuck
02:56
|
|||
|
What it is that you say to me
I will happily disagree
me to you and you to I
add them both up and we'll wonder why
Chorus:
well we will see
not clearly
never again
It was this way just once before
your emotions were my chore
right was left and left was right
leave me home alone tonight
Chorus
(solo - Ray Yurkewycz)
The time we take really breaks the bank
tell me what you told me and my heart sank
I need to leave, just run away
everything else will be okay
Chorus
|

I Told You
03:03
|
|||
|
If I told you once
than I told you twice
you are gonna have to fight
to get your slice
Chorus:
Well I told you X4
And every move you make
could me your next mistake
and others will give
and other will take
Chorus
(solo - Ray Yurkewycz and Tyler Morgan)
When things go right
you haven't won the fight
like driving in the dark
you will need the light
Chorus

Thicker than Water
04:10
|
|||
|
I've been offered to sell my soul
we are circling the same old hole
and down the drain we will eventually go
well I don't know I don't know
Chorus:
blood is thicker
it's thicker than water
I've been walking a fine line
pretending everything is fine
not sure if I can balance
I'm tired of the same old dance
Chorus
Sun is out and it's beating my face
and everything is being erased
it's always good to clear your head
soon enough you'll be dead
Chorus
Funk Outro

Hold Me Down
04:15
|
|||
|
Well Tom Petty once told me well I'm tired of growing up and growing
and Bob Dylan once told me my son do exactly as you are told
Chorus
Oh you, you can't hold me down X 2
Well I have myself a piece of dirt
where I'll lay dead for those I hurt
well some people let it go
and others can't seem to grow
Chorus
I was there just the other day
and I heard what the preacher had to say
he said son stay out of hell
you are just another angel that fell
Funk Outro
(Solo - Ray Yurkewycz and Tyler Morgan)

Time is Wasting
03:42
|
|||
|
I really can see all of the lies they are hidden behind your eyes
I really don't feel any big surprise
Times a wasting so say your goodbyes
So say all your goodbyes
fake it tell you make it just try and try and try
(Solo, in between verses - Kevin Nettleingham)
Clouds are gray and the raindrops are stinging up my heart
tomorrow is yesterdays past burning out and it is burning out fast and far
shovels digging the hole that is my life and it is buried by stress
pawns and queens are pushing me around in this game board of chess
I pledge allegiance to the United States
Color of my skin dictates well it dictates all of my hate
I really try to make a break but we'll wait and see
there is no other place I would rather be
