Bailout! 02:06
lyrics
download
The radio is blasting news bout today Another CEO that wants to get paid While the workers are out on the street Trying to keep it up on just ends meat When do I get When do we get When do we get When do I get My blank check! A broken industry, an empty lot of cars No black check can fix it, signed by a czar While Detroit is burning to the ground Houses aren’t occupied, no one can be found When do I get When do we get When do we get When do I get My blank check! (Bailout!) What for! (Bailout!) No more! (Bailout!) Fuck your! (Bailout!)

Baraka 02:36
lyrics
download
The world is changing So open your eyes Look out the window It is no surprise No more superpower No more tragedy No more planned disaster That’s the world I see Baraka! Time is forward motion We must look ahead Go beyond mindless routine Before you are dead So, think about the future Always embrace the past We’re only single grain of Sand filled hour glass Baraka! Material possessions Uncomfortably numb Ask the tough questions Where did you get that from? Baraka! Baraka!

Die Tryin' 02:16
lyrics

Once again I’m faced with the fact That I’m on my own No one’s watching my back I’m seeing clear skies ahead Even in this PNW dread Once again I’m faced with the fact That I gotta keep my eyes forward There is no looking back Black clouds are clearing up ahead They better clear up, before I start seeing the red Keep on Rockin’ Or Die tryin’ Keep on Rockin’ Or Die tryin’ I’m seeing clear skies ahead I’m seeing clear skies ahead I’m seeing clear skies ahead I’m seeing clear skies ahead

On My Mind 03:43
lyrics
download
It was hard watching you leave the train Kept hoping you would turn the other way Three days just wasn’t enough These next few days are gonna be tough This morning cup of coffee Has never gone so slow The second hand on my watch Is the only time I know On my mind On my mind On my mind She’s on my mind, yeah hey! Now you’re back home working for your dad I’m thinking bout the times we had That song keeps repeating in my head Keep in touch you said This morning cup of coffee Has never gone so slow The second hand on my watch Is the only time I know On my mind On my mind On my mind She’s on my mind, yeah hey! I like the way you look at me I like the way you talk to me I like the way you look at me I like the way you talk to me Prechorus Chorus

Bush Fire 03:00
lyrics

Trouble’s on the rise I better hide my head You’re playing with fire Beneath your own bed One more day to live my life One more day to fall asleep at night One more day to live so free Just let me be The world has turned around What’s up has now falled down Pieces scare your name It’ll never be the same One more day safe and sound One more day not in the lost n’ found One more day just like the last Learn from the past Bridge One more day to live my life One more day to fall asleep at night One more day to live so free Just let me be One more day safe and sound One more day not in the lost n’ found One more day just like the last Learn from the past

Utility Knife 02:20
lyrics

I’m gonna take it in stride I’m gonna take it with pride You’re not the one cut me down Just one frame of my life Not enough to cause me strife Pictures fade over time Situations come and go Motivation sometimes low Expectations have hit the floor But just you wait and see Watch as the tables turn Watch as your lessons learned This ain’t no picnic anymore The floodgates have opened wide No place to run and hide You deserve what’s coming to you Situations come and go Motivation sometimes low Expectations have hit the floor But just you wait and see Situations come and go Motivation sometimes low Expectations have hit the floor But just you wait and see

Career Opportunites 01:47
lyrics

They offered my the office, offered me the shop They said I'd better take anything they got Do you wanna make tea at the BBC? Do you wanna be, you really wanna be a cop? Career opportunities, the ones that never knock Every job they offer, is to keep you out the dock Career opportunities, the ones that never knock I hate the army and I hate the RAF I don't wanna go fighting in the tropical heat I hate the civil service rule I won't open letter bombs for you Career opportunities, the ones that never knock Every job they offer, is to keep you out the dock Career opportunities, the ones that never knock Tree climber! IT man! Kitchen assistant I don't understand! They're gonna have to introduce conscription And they're gonna have to take away my prescriptions If they wanna get me making toys If they wanna get me, well I got no choice Career opportunities, the ones that never knock Every job they offer, is to keep you out the dock Career opportunities, the ones that never knock Career Career Career And they're never gonna knock!

Who’s sponsoring your life? How much do you sell? That barcode’s straight from hell Destroy your TV Throw it out the door Now that’s a show Destroy Your TV Destroy Your TV Destroy Your TV Destroy You TV Subliminal adverts Running through your head I’d rather be dead Trash the trash And go outside Before you die Destroy Your TV Who’s sponsoring your life? How much do you sell? That postcard’s straight from Hell Enjoy reality Without a fee Destroy your TV!

Under The Streetlight 02:47
lyrics
download
The punks are crawling out tonight The punks are crawling out tonight From outta the gutter They’re spilling out under the streetlight First street, down in Sodo To under the monorail Up pike street on the hill Punk bands always on the bill Downtown in market square Ballard ave is never bare The hammered man holds it down Punk scene in my hometown The punks are crawling out tonight The punks are crawling out tonight From outta the gutter They’re spilling out under the streetlight Me and James went to the show Mobbin’ with the SPO Each band was outta control The Funhouse is the spot to go Op Ivy blasted all night long The dj played every song Mystery drinks dropped in my hand Cheers to the night, cheers to the bands Bridge Chorus Dustin came from far away Tearing down my practice space Charlie says he’s the drummer for you Almost done, that made two James Dallas Harvey Saw the ad, responded to me He didn’t wanna play tuned down Now the Filibusters are in town
