Headed to the borderline
Crossing the river to cut my ties
Left my whole family behind
I was born a sacrifice
Headed to the borderline
Going out west to change my life
I heard they got work in the mines
Where the days are dark as night
Days are dark as night oh yeah
An army of invincible mind
I’m going down in the tunnels in a picket line
My eyes don’t remember the light
We gone get buried alive, we gone get buried alive yeah
In the light light oh
Buried alive oh ho
Come on
In the light light oh
Buried alive oooooohhh
Huh
Calloused hands never learned to write
I left my and child for dynamite
It’s high time we unionize
My rights feel paralyzed
My rights feel paralyzed
Paralyzed ah oh
Paralyzed ah oh
Come on
Paralyzed ah oh
Paralyzed yeah
On the mountain
On the mountain
On the mountain
On the mountain
On the mountain
On the mountain
On the mountain
On the mountain yeah
Uh oh
Well oh yeah
Imma find that man on the mountain
Shoot him down on the mountain
His blood will flow like a fountain
Like a fountain, like a fountain

Pink Dollar Bills

Well let me tell you about
A chain of events that took place
In the middle of Wisconsin
On a cold dark day
I was walking alone
On a road out of place
When I saw one hundred hundred dollar bills
Staring at my face
They were whisked around
Falling out of a burlap sack
That was wrapped around a body
With a bullet in his back
And I thought, "Go ahead and take them"
"Maybe just a few stacks"
But before I could decide
Suddenly off went the dye pack
So before I went with humanity
I knowingly decided no
This high life type of insanity
Lies within this bag I hold
Choking on a coral colored cloud in the sky
I thought, "This is stupid"
"There's no way that I'm this type of guy"
But some confidence came over me
When I opened up my eyes
And saw that all the Benji Franklins
Were staring back into mine
So I ran through the fields
Ran past the mills
Holding on tight to my pink dollar bills
That's when I heard a bunch of sirens coming over the hills
And the going-back-to-the-middle kills, mother fucker
I need more
I need more
So before I went with humanity
I knowingly decided no
This high life type of insanity
Lies within this bag
Oh
Ha ha ha
So before I went with humanity
I knowingly decided no
This high life type of insanity
Was within this bag I hold
Did I do it for vanity
To see if I could be bold
To escape what's always been expected of me
Sounds better than growing old

Miscommunication
05:26
|

Under the force of passion
My heart and soul are being seduced
Love is used often as a weapon
To hide the past and bleeding truth
Twisted words get a reaction
I call your bluff see through your excuse
Like a raging bull racing to the heavens
Just trying to prove I don’t need you
And now I’m falling down
Possessed by a shadow of doubt
That shields me from pain
Wields a blade of a permanent flame
I can’t separate
My past from my present mistakes
Well you say you own me
But I ain’t your damn property
You spent a night in his sheets
Then come crying to me
To kiss the lips of my glory
Well I ain’t trying to preach
But I heard you was working the streets
Don’t try to keep secrets from me
You know I’m a loving machine
Oh go go go yeah
And now I’m falling down
Possessed by a shadow of doubt
That shields me from pain
Wields a blame of a permanent flame
I can’t separate
My past from my present mistakes no
And now I’m falling down
Possessed by a shadow of doubt
That shields me from pain
Wields a blame of a permanent flame
I can’t separate
My past from my present mistakes
My past from my present mistakes
Woah you know
Past from my present mistakes

Love Bomb

Another one to say goodbye
Another one I roll my eyes
We promised promises
You had me on my knees and
Oh, you took all that away from me
When I was your fantasy, your love, your dream
But you're a love bomb, blow my mind
You make me stay, you make me cry
Love bomb, blow my mind
You're a love bomb, blow my mind
You make me stay, you waste my time
Love bomb, blow my mind
And my heart starts racing
I feel the adrenaline pacing
For you
I fell but you weren't there to catch
Then pretty soon I was attached
You made me look a fool
Had me wrapped up before I knew
Oh, what you took all away from me
When you were my fantasy, my love, my dream
But you're a love bomb, blow my mind
You make me stay, you make me cry
Love bomb, blow my mind
You're a love bomb, blow my mind
You make me stay, you waste my time
Love bomb, blow my mind
And my heart starts racing
I feel the adrenaline pacing
For you
But you're a love bomb, blow my mind
You make me stay, you make me cry
Love bomb, blow my mind
You're a love bomb, blow my mind
You make me stay, you waste my time
Love bomb, blow my mind
And my heart starts racing
I feel the adrenaline pacing
For you
Love bomb
Love bomb
Love bomb
You really caught me on the clock
Zeroed in and took your shot
Now I'm lying on the floor
What am I looking for?
Love bomb
Love bomb
Love bomb
Love bomb
Love bomb

Napalm Showers
04:13
|

Yeah I see 'em running
Yeah I see 'em hiding
But help is on the way
The fire terrorizing
Bloody brutalizing
Every single soul in its way
Cause I don't plan on dying
I don't plan on crying
Anytime here today
I hope they're at the ready
I hope their aim is steady
Cause green berets don't make mistakes
Send 'em all to their graves
Send 'em all to their graves yeah, oh
Tell me how many times
I gotta risk my life
To get my brothers back to the states
Tried to dodge the draft a thousand times
And still we got sent away
So it's fee fi fum
We gone get it done
In this life or the next
You know that I mean business
When I give these snitches stitches
Put a gun straight to his chest
Send 'em off with a blast
Send 'em off with a blast yeah
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
They wanted freedom, yeah
Love and equality
We had the power
To blow their minds away
We brought napalm showers
Yeah we brought napalm showers
So son lay low
In the green jungle
When you lose all hope
Hold your rifle close
And when the sun sinks low
You'll become a ghost
Well I can't take much more
Of this blood and gore yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
They wanted freedom, yeah
Love and equality
We had the power
To blow their minds away
We brought napalm showers
Yeah we brought napalm showers

Petals on North Avenue
07:49
|

Coffee in hand, dreading the feeling
As the dawn robs you of all your rest
Another man lost in transition
He works a nine to five as his dreams die an honest death
Baby blue skies seem so familiar
Reminds me of youth, fearless with no regrets
You’re going through the motions day after day
You’re too young to keep on living this way
Do you recall the day when life became mundane
And the boy is gone who you knew
Well life passed you by, maybe your missed your chance
I hope it’s worth it, when you made that sacrifice
Wine glass in hand, chasing the weekend
Social queen questions the crown she wears
Another girl searching for validation
She masquerades in ballrooms of fools and knaves
All eyes upon you, secretly envy, they wouldn’t know
The burden you bear with such grace
You’re going through the motions night after night oh
Nobody knows what you hide behind those pretty blues eyes
My baby yeah
Do you recall the day when you spread your wings to fly
And the girl is lost to the world
Well you’re chasing admiration, now you have it all
I hope it’s worth it when you make that sacrifice
Let’s go
One day you’ll find yourself
Walking down that same old path yeah
You realize this isn’t you
You lost what you thought you had yeah
Well a moment’s haste clears the fog
And shines the beauty through, now you
When you look down and you see
Those roses on North Avenue

Sugarless
05:45

If I was eight again
Standing just above the floor
If I was eight again
Mere feet above the floor
La da da da da
I'd be as happy as I'll ever be
And plan my meals no more
If I was ten again
Walking down down down to school
If I was ten years old again
And the world was only school
I would've stood my ground more often
And leave not my blood
Not my blood
Not my blood
Not my blood to pool
I would've lived lost and in love without fear, darling
In this company of fools
And their precious little rules
Now, if I was twelve again
Falling for a girl
(This was the first time)
If I was just twelve years old again
Such a lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely
Lovely girl
I would've told her she's sweeter than honey
In this sugarless world
I would've told her just how sweet she was
Ma ma ma ma ma ma
Molasses-dipped, cherry twist
Vanilla chocolate swirl
If I was a boy... again
I'd know nothing at all
If I was just a little boy again
Zip nada, no knowledge
No nothing, nothing at all
La da da da da
I'd know not the pain of love
Or why that little golden man
Stays hung up on my wall
On a lower-case T
Is this man for me or I for him
Meant to live as old as sunlight's end
Until then be cursed to watch the burning
Sweet, sweet children never learning
Over and over and over again

City of Lights
06:56
|
|||
I used to be afraid of the night
Shadows and darkness
Would play tricks on my mind
A demon’s delight
You see it’s all intertwined
Let the fires from the darkness
Guide you to the depths of your mind
In the city of lights
In the city of lights
The city of lights
In the city of lights
The city of lights
Is polluting my mind
It’s modern and ancient all at the same time
A pride of design
I don’t fit with the times
Torn between traditions
And the future’s disguise
The future’s disguise
Well now I’m back for the night
City is burning like the fourth of July yeah
In the city of lights
In the city of lights
The city of lights yeah
My eyes were mesmerized by the light
Now the heavens and the starlight
And I no longer align
Ever watching satellite
Let your spirit unwind
Let it migrate to the inner child
That you left far behind
In city of lights
Well now I’m back for the night
City is burning like the fourth of July yeah
In the city of lights
In the city of lights
The city of lights
Yeah I’m so far gone, yeah
Now I’m so far gone
In this time of our lives
We gonna ride through the night
The night
As the northern lights
Paint the colors of the rainbow sky
The sky
Well it’s a heavenly sight
And it’s here today
Because our lust for life
Must die someday
Yeah I’m gonna ride through the night
And I’ll fade away
Away, away, away
