Lyrics

Brothers in arms who share my fears,
Time to protect what you hold dear
There’s been a rise in new ideals,
Threatening to change the way we live

Who knows what trouble’s found a way,
Found a way to your door today
Who knows what trouble’s on its way,
On its way to intimidate

All I want is a big red gun
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah oh
I’m gonna shoot, shoot, shoot at the setting sun
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah oh
And all I want is a big red gun,
I’m gonna shoot, shoot, shoot till the thrill is gone
‘Cause this is my right no matter the cost
Get outta my sight when baby’s got a big red gun
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah oh
Baby’s got a big red gun
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah oh

Pride is a weapon in your hand
Freedom awards the faithful man
I hear the message loud and clear,
Straight from his lips into my ear

And lord I just can’t walk away,
Walk away from the enemy
The law will never disagree,
On the target of my insecurities

All I want is a big red gun
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah oh
I’m gonna shoot, shoot, shoot at the setting sun
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah oh
And all I want is a big red gun,
I’m gonna shoot, shoot, shoot till the thrill is gone
And how many lives will have to be lost to understand why my baby’s got a big red gun?

We call them twisted and deranged (baby’s got a big red gun)
But we gave them the keys to annihilate (baby’s got a big red gun)
How long before the next one’s in the ground? (Baby’s got a big red gun)
So proud of all your history (baby’s got a big red gun)
But history made a big mistake (baby’s got a big red gun)
The judge and jury stand before you now (baby’s got a big red gun)

‘Cause baby’s got a big red gun
Baby’s got a big red gun
Baby’s got a big red gun
Oh momma what have I become?

Lyrics

Wherever I go, wherever I go
I have to question the hand that I hold close
Wherever I go, wherever I go
I have to silence the words that you fear most

Don’t ever let go, don’t ever let go
Are we destined to hit the ground below?
Don’t ever let go, don’t ever let go
We’re at the end of a burning tightrope

Now I’m waiting on the corner in the back of your mind
It’s a lonely place to live, and I got nowhere to hide
‘Cause you told me that you’d never be afraid of heights again
Nobody ever thought that we could make it this high
You’re the only one I’d follow ’til the end of time
If we fall, we fall together baby, don’t think twice again

Together I know, together I know
That we’d burn like a rocket’s afterglow
Together I know, together I know
We could conquer the stars beyond this world

We let it all go, we let it all go
I’m just a voice on a broken radio
We let it all go, we let it all go
We got lost in the constellations

Now I’m waiting on the corner in the back of your mind
It’s a lonely place to live, and I got nowhere to hide
‘Cause you told me that you’d never be afraid of heights again
Nobody ever thought that we could make it this high
You’re the only one I’d follow ’til the end of time
If we fall, we fall together baby, don’t think twice again

And after all these years, and all of this time
Darling, if I’m still a question in your mind
Just say the words and this will end

You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights
You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights
You told me we should never be afraid of heights again
You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights
You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights
If we fall, we fall together baby, don’t think twice again

Wherever I go, wherever I go
I hear your voice on a broken radio
Wherever I go, wherever I go
I know we’ll burn like a rocket’s afterglow
Don’t ever let go, don’t ever let go
So are we destined to hit the ground below?
Don’t ever let go, don’t ever let go
Are we just watching the final chapter close?

Lyrics

Is never given enough today
I’m tired of looking the other way
(Respect!)
An appetite that we can’t sustain
We’re on a mission to kiss our days away

So how long before the rivers start to rise, dear?
Yeah I thank my lucky stars to be alive here

A generation of castaways
Under a nation of tidal waves
(Respect!)
Are we the passengers or the prey?
You can’t escape from the past on holiday

So how long before the rivers start to rise, dear?
Pack your bags because the tide is getting high

Don’t be afraid of the view from economy class
It’s just the captain and crew jumping off of the mast
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
Who’s gonna sound the alarm when the bridges collapse?
Is this the point where the bomb reaches critical mass?
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats

Catastrophic events don’t change
Today we feast, but tomorrow we pay
(Respect!)
But don’t you worry cause you’ll be safe
I got a ticket to piss your days away

So how long before the rivers start to rise, dear?
Yeah I thank my lucky stars to be alive here

Don’t be afraid of the view from economy class
It’s just the captain and crew jumping off of the mast
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
Who’s gonna sound the alarm when the bridges collapse?
Is this the point where the bomb reaches critical mass?
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats

Don’t be afraid of the view from economy class
It’s just the captain and crew jumping off of the mast
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
Who’s gonna sound the alarm when the bridges collapse?
Is this the point where the bomb reaches critical mass?
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats

One city from the coast disappearing too fast
One city from the coast sunk into the past
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
One city from the coast disappearing too fast
One city from the coast, we can never come back
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats

Rats
Cannibal rats

Lyrics

The party’s over, called it a night
I hope you had the time of your life
They say that rock will never survive
It’s up to youth to keep her alive
And I don’t know what’s making you tick
Generation narcissistic
Little Miss Selfie, Lonely Boy Slick
It’s time you get a brand new fix, baby

Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Faster, faster, faster than the airwaves
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Louder than the DJ
Louder than the DJ

We surfed until the end of the set
Our leather jackets covered in sweat
Those glory days, they ain’t over yet
So light that torch and burn like a jet
‘Cause revolution starts on the mic
Strike three chords that cut like a knife
Radio needs a shot to the vein
Of anger, fury, heartache, and pain, baby

Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Faster, faster, faster than the airwaves
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ

Someone said a long time ago
Rock ‘n’ roll would never grow old
She still got the fire left in her bones
The lights go down, the crowd explodes

Louder than the DJ
Louder than the DJ
Louder than the DJ
Louder than the DJ

Louder than the DJ
Louder than the DJ
Louder than the DJ
Louder than the DJ

Someone said a long time ago
Rock ‘n’ roll would never grow old
She still got the fire left in her bones
And we’re not gonna pack up and go cause we’re

Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
She’ll be back some day, I know, baby

Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Faster, faster, faster than the airwaves
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ

Someone said a long time ago
Rock ‘n’ roll would never grow old
She still got the fire left in her bones
The lights go down, the crowd explodes

Louder than the DJ
(And Ian’s guitar)
Louder than the DJ
(The band at the bar)
Louder than the DJ
(Never change who you are)
Louder than the DJ

Lyrics

Alive!
And right before your eyes
It’s easy to think twice
A choice can change your life

Angry fists, angry eyes
Thought you’d take them by surprise
And unleash all your demons upon them
With your guns and your knives
Left them fighting to survive
You’re the villain but you played the victim

Never took no advice
Did you ever realize
That your violence had taken your virtue
Well you can’t wash away
the mistakes of yesterday
When the boys wearing blue come to greet you

And I can hear the sirens still calling your name
And I can see the ashes rise up from the flames
When love was still around
When love was still around
One day before it all came crashing down

Did you stop and regret?
When the voice inside your head
Got so quiet that you’d hear a pin drop
Did you still like the view
When their guns were aimed at you?
Screaming “Out of the house with your hands up!”

Now you wait in the line
For the prison bell to chime
Singing “I fought the law but the law won”
When you’re done serving time
You can look them in the eyes
While you count all the lives that you’ve broken

And I can hear the sirens still calling your name
And I can see the ashes rise up from the flames
When love was still around
When love was still around
One day before it all came crashing down

And I can see the flashing lights take you away
And now the tears are rolling down your mother’s face
When love was still around
When love was still around
One day before it all came crashing down

When love was still around
When love was still around
One day before it all came crashing down

When love was still around
When love was still around
Some day you’ll see the life that you turned down

Alive!
And right before your eyes
It’s easy to think twice
A choice can change your life

Lyrics

Buried in the mail before the early morning
Under the frost that’s forming his words are calling
Even though alarm bells ring without a warning
All of the clocks keep ticking, and time keeps flowing

Everyone that I hold dearly, I try to keep them close
‘Cause some of them get bitten by the rabbit down the hole
Once they walk past through the grass, they’re never coming home

Easy to live but yet so hard to nail
Maybe they’ve lost their way but found their savior
Living in the fable life’s a fairy tale
Except our thoughts are fragile our minds are frail

Everyone that you hold dearly, you try to keep them close
‘Cause some of them get bitten by that rabbit down the hole
And once you walk past through the grass, you’re never coming home

Good God what have I done?
Mother nature’s lonely son
Mother nature’s lonely son
Chase that rabbit down the hole

Wander through the open door that leads to nowhere
Who’s gonna take away my pain, take away my pain
Before you know you’re trapped inside the spider’s web
You’re screaming there is no escape, there is no escape

The invitation’s written clearly, you’re the one he chose
Until the day your bitten by the rabbit down the hole
Follow his procession deep into the ground below

Good God what have I done?
Mother nature’s lonely son
Mother nature’s lonely son
Chase that rabbit down the hole
I’ll drown or I will burn
Down the path of no return
Down the path of no return
Chase that rabbit down the hole
Rabbit down the hole

I’d never thought I’d see her suffer, I gave her all I could
And everything I had to offer, was never understood
How many days until her mind has left this world for good?

Good God what have I done?
Mother nature’s lonely son
Mother nature’s lonely son
Chase that rabbit down the hole
I’ll drown or I will burn
Down the path of no return
Down the path of no return
Chase that rabbit down the hole

One of these days you’ll break away
One of these days you’ll break away
One of these days you’ll break away
One of these days you’ll fade away (Chase that rabbit down the hole)

One of these days you’ll break away
One of these days you’ll break away
One of these days you’ll break away (Chase that rabbit down the hole)
One of these days you’ll fade away

One of these days you’ll break away
One of these days you’ll break away
One of these days you’ll break away
One of these days you’ll fade away (Chase that rabbit down the hole)

One of these days you’ll break away
One of these days you’ll break away
One of these days you’ll break away
One of these days you’ll fade away

Lyrics

Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb nobody cares ’till it’s too late
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb you better pray you’re somewhere safe

We’re transfixed on a pendulum sky
Watch another tank of gasoline run dry
A death stare from a cold dead eye
As you’re chopping up the carrot, sharpening their knives
Don’t blink, keep your eyes on the prize
While you rip me up to pieces, cut me down to size
Don’t dare, try to keep it inside
‘Cause the only way to make us laugh is to make us cry

Just when you thought you’ve seen it all
A storm awaits behind the door
Disgruntled right down to the core
We still go on

Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb nobody cares ’till it’s too late
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb you better pray you’re somewhere safe

Beat up, put the slate to the grind
Another rocket launcher going off inside my mind
Tight cuffs only hold me tight
Every thought about the future leaves me terrified
I’m sick of the same old lies
Why don’t you talk about your feelings? Who gives a shit about mine?
Death grips got a hold of my side
Because the only way to make us laugh is to make us cry

Just when you thought you’ve seen it all
A storm awaits behind the door
Disgruntled right down to the core
We still go on

Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb nobody cares till it’s too late
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb you better pray you’re somewhere safe

Oh, we got a time bomb ticking away inside
And the only way to make us laugh is to make us cry

Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb ticking away

You’re watching the time bomb ticking away inside
And the only way to make us laugh is to make us cry
You’re watching the time bomb ticking away inside
Everybody needs a little help when the world is blind
You’re watching the time bomb ticking away inside
And the only way to make us laugh is to make us cry

You’re watching the time bomb ticking away
You’re watching the time bomb ticking away
You’re watching the time bomb ticking away
You’re watching the time bomb ticking away (our world’s got no liberty)
You’re watching the time bomb ticking away (locked up in a little cage)
You’re watching the time bomb ticking away (this world is a bitter place)
You’re watching the time bomb ticking away (our world’s got no liberty)
You’re watching the time bomb ticking away (locked up in a little cage)
You’re watching the time bomb ticking away (this world is a bitter place)

Lyrics

Tired of all the promises and never coming through
It’s easy to pretend until they turn their back on you
And all the ones that bring you down, their colors weren’t that true
And life’s become a battle that you swore you’d never lose

It don’t matter what went wrong this time, don’t matter what went right
We’re always searching for the reason why
And the longest road to find it will take many years to climb
Don’t wait up for that moment to arrive
Leave them all behind

Yeah, I’m tired of all the promises and never coming through
It’s easy to pretend until they turn their back on you
Yeah, and all the ones that bring you down, their colors weren’t that true
And when you lose your confidence your mind plays tricks on you

It don’t matter what went wrong this time, don’t matter what went right
We’re always searching for the reason why
And the longest road to find it will take many years to climb
We keep on getting stuck here all the time

We’re gonna leave them all behind, We’re gonna leave them all behind
We’re gonna catch that train, the words they say couldn’t stop us if they tried
We’re gonna leave them all behind, We’re gonna leave them all behind
We’re gonna catch that train I know some day everything’s gonna fall in line

I’ve been struck down and defeated every step along the way
Become I’m your own worst enemy when nothing seems to change
You have to fail a thousand times before you get it straight
So catch me if you can ’cause I ain’t leaving this to fate

It don’t matter what went wrong this time, don’t matter what went right
We’re always searching for the reason why
And the longest road to find it will take many years to climb
We keep on getting stuck here all the time

We’re gonna leave them all behind, We’re gonna leave them all behind
We’re gonna catch that train, the words they say couldn’t stop us if they tried
We’re gonna leave them all behind, We’re gonna leave them all behind
We’re gonna catch that train I know some day, everything’s gonna fall in line

Oh, oh, oh
Tired of all the promises and never coming through
Stop waiting for that moment to arrive

We’re gonna leave them all behind, We’re gonna leave them all behind
We’re gonna catch that train, the words they say couldn’t stop us if they tried
We’re gonna leave them all behind, We’re gonna leave them all behind
We’re gonna catch that train I know some day, everything’s gonna fall in line
We’re gonna leave them all behind, We’re gonna leave them all behind
We’re gonna catch that train I know some day, everything’s gonna fall in line
Yeah!

Lyrics

Horses and chariots
Churches and states
Devotion turns dangerous
When armed with rules of faith

Prisoners and patriots
Angels and saints
If minds are persuaded enough
Compassion turns to hate

Time comes to bury us
Together we must stay
(Don’t let the)
Horses and chariots
Drag our love away
No

Borders and boundary signs
Drawn by red tape
Those who colour outside of the lines
Define the human race

Warlords and suffering eyes
Soldiers and slaves
The side of the fence that we climb
Determines who’s afraid

Time comes to bury us
Together we must stay
(Don’t let the)
Horses and chariots
Drag our love away
(Until we)
Swallow our pride
Our hearts will collide

And the skies of hysteria will
Come rain down on you
Cleanse the soul from the hands that divide
Our world in time

Time comes to bury us
Well how can you live while so many die?
(Don’t let the)
Horses and chariots
Hide the view from their eyes
(Until we)
Swallow our pride
We’ve chosen a faith, we’ve chosen a side
(Until we)
Swallow our pride
Our hearts will collide

Lyrics

Once there was a nation here
Now there is no more
Once we fought to change our fears
But now this is our war (This is our war)
This is our war

Wash your mind out, where’s your morals?
How many people have to live this sorrow?
Life should not be begged or borrowed
How many really want to change tomorrow?

We’re still playing the prideful game
As we profile the enemy that we created
We’re still playing the prideful game
With the cards on the table
In the end we’re all the same
Where’s the compassion in the world today?
Yeah, we’re all the same
Until we find another way
This is our war (This is our war)

Once there was a nation here
Now there is no more (This is our war)
Once we fought for change arm in arm
But now this is our war

Divisive words from ivory towers
Seeds of intolerance turn into flowers
Countless fools and reckless cowards
Rally the people in the quest for power

We’re still playing the prideful game
As we profile the enemy that we created
We’re still playing the prideful game
With the cards on the table
In the end we’re all the same
Where’s the compassion in the world today?
Yeah, we’re all the same
Until we find another way

This is our war (This is our war)
Once there was a nation here
Now there is no more (This is our war)
Once we fought for change arm in arm

But now this is our war
Is this the land of segregation?
Is this a place that we call home?
Don’t let the old style generation
Carry the flag for you and me no more
This is our war
This is our war

We’re into the red, We’re into the red
And as it burns the fire spreads
We’re under the threat, We’re under the threat
Will it still burn tomorrow?

Once there was a nation here
Now there is no more
Once we fought to change our fears
But now this is our war (This is our war)

Once there was a nation here
Now there is no more (This is our war)
Once we fought for change arm in arm
But now this is our war

Is this the land of segregation?
Is this a place that we call home?
Don’t let the old style generation
Carry the flag for you and me no more (This is our war)

Once there was a nation divided
Now this is our war (This is our war)
Once we stand embraced arm in arm
We stand for something more

Lyrics

Hey

Another, tragedy has
Set the scene for conscience to be revealed
And all the February
February winds are howling

Don’t tell me we’re adversaries
Don’t tell me we’re sworn enemies
‘Cause we all need necessary
Means to protect what we love

An ocean lies between us
Sufferings are constant, we never see
Behind our sanctuary
Sanctuary, walls so easy to breathe
Where is our apathy?
Has, apathy been lost while drifting at sea
We are the refugees
Don’t worry we’ll survive on hopes of

Don’t tell me we’re adversaries
Don’t tell me we’re sworn enemies
‘Cause we all need necessary
Means to protect what we love

Light up your book of matches
Open your hearts to action
We all need second chances
What reason to help but for love?

February winds
February winds

No we are not adversaries
We were not born enemies
We all need necessary
Means to protect what we love

Light up your book of matches
Open your hearts to action
We all need second chances
What reason to help but for love?

We are not adversaries
We are not sworn enemies
We all need necessary
Means to protect what we love

February winds
The message that we send
Will come back in the end

Lyrics

Wherever I go, wherever I go
I have to question the hand that I hold close
Wherever I go, wherever I go
I have to silence the words that you fear most

Don’t ever let go, don’t ever let go
Are we destined to hit the ground below?
Don’t ever let go, don’t ever let go
We’re at the end of a burning tightrope

Now I’m waiting on the corner in the back of your mind
It’s a lonely place to live, and I got nowhere to hide
Cause you told me that you’d never be afraid of heights again
Nobody ever thought that we could make it this high
You’re the only one I’d follow ’til the end of time
If we fall, we fall together, baby, don’t think twice again

Together I know, together I know
That we’d burn like a rocket’s afterglow
Together I know, together I know
We could conquer the stars beyond this world

We let it all go, we let it all go
I’m just a voice on a broken radio
We let it all go, we let it all go
We got lost in the constellations

I’m still waiting on the corner in the back of your mind
It’s a lonely place to live, and I got nowhere to hide
Cause you told me that you’d never be afraid of heights again
Nobody ever thought that we could make it this high
You’re the only one I’d follow ’til the end of time
If we fall, we fall together, baby, don’t think twice again

Yeah!

You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights
You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights
You told me we should never be afraid of heights again
You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights
You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights
If we fall, we fall together, baby, don’t think twice again

Don’t be afraid to walk this tightrope anymore
(You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights)
(You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights)
Cause if we’re brave we’ll never fall
(You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights again)
Don’t be afraid to walk this tightrope anymore
(You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights)
(You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights)
Cause you’ll be safe here in my arms
(If we fall, we fall together, baby, don’t think twice again)

Wherever I go, wherever I go
I’m just a voice on a broken radio
Wherever I go, wherever I go
I know we’ll burn like a rocket’s afterglow

Don’t ever let go, don’t ever let go
Girl are we destined to hit the ground below?
Don’t ever let go, don’t ever let go
Did we get lost in the constellations?

Brothers in arms who share my fears,
Time to protect what you hold dear
There’s been a rise in new ideals,
Threatening to change the way we live

Who knows what trouble’s found a way,
Found a way to your door today
Who knows what trouble’s on its way,
On its way to intimidate

All I want is a big red gun
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah oh
I’m gonna shoot, shoot, shoot at the setting sun
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah oh
And all I want is a big red gun,
I’m gonna shoot, shoot, shoot till the thrill is gone
‘Cause this is my right no matter the cost
Get outta my sight when baby’s got a big red gun
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah oh
Baby’s got a big red gun
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah oh

Pride is a weapon in your hand
Freedom awards the faithful man
I hear the message loud and clear,

And lord I just can’t walk away,
Walk away from the enemy
The law will never disagree,

Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah oh
And all I want is a big red gun,

And how many lives will have to be lost to understand why my baby’s got a big red gun?

We call them twisted and deranged (baby’s got a big red gun)

‘Cause baby’s got a big red gun
Baby’s got a big red gun
Baby’s got a big red gun
Oh momma what have I become?

And after all these years, and all of this time
Darling, if I’m still a question in your mind
Just say the words and this will end

You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights
You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights

Don’t ever let go, don’t ever let go
Are we just watching the final chapter close?

Lyrics

Is never given enough today
I’m tired of looking the other way
(Respect!)
An appetite that we can’t sustain
We’re on a mission to kiss our days away

So how long before the rivers start to rise, dear?
Yeah I thank my lucky stars to be alive here

A generation of castaways
Under a nation of tidal waves
(Respect!)
Are we the passengers or the prey?
You can’t escape from the past on holiday

So how long before the rivers start to rise, dear?
Pack your bags because the tide is getting high

Don’t be afraid of the view from economy class
It’s just the captain and crew jumping off of the mast
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
Who’s gonna sound the alarm when the bridges collapse?
Is this the point where the bomb reaches critical mass?
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats

Catastrophic events don’t change
Today we feast, but tomorrow we pay
(Respect!)
But don’t you worry cause you’ll be safe
I got a ticket to piss your days away

So how long before the rivers start to rise, dear?
Yeah I thank my lucky stars to be alive here

Don’t be afraid of the view from economy class
It’s just the captain and crew jumping off of the mast
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
Who’s gonna sound the alarm when the bridges collapse?
Is this the point where the bomb reaches critical mass?
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats

Don’t be afraid of the view from economy class
It’s just the captain and crew jumping off of the mast
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
Who’s gonna sound the alarm when the bridges collapse?
Is this the point where the bomb reaches critical mass?
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats

One city from the coast disappearing too fast
One city from the coast sunk into the past
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
One city from the coast disappearing too fast
One city from the coast, we can never come back
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats
All aboard on the ghost ship of cannibal rats

Rats
Cannibal rats

Lyrics

The party’s over, called it a night
I hope you had the time of your life
They say that rock will never survive
It’s up to youth to keep her alive
And I don’t know what’s making you tick
Generation narcissistic
Little Miss Selfie, Lonely Boy Slick
It’s time you get a brand new fix, baby

Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Faster, faster, faster than the airwaves
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Louder than the DJ
Louder than the DJ

We surfed until the end of the set
Our leather jackets covered in sweat
Those glory days, they ain’t over yet
So light that torch and burn like a jet
‘Cause revolution starts on the mic
Strike three chords that cut like a knife
Radio needs a shot to the vein
Of anger, fury, heartache, and pain, baby

Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Faster, faster, faster than the airwaves
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ

Someone said a long time ago
Rock ‘n’ roll would never grow old
She still got the fire left in her bones
The lights go down, the crowd explodes

Louder than the DJ
Louder than the DJ
Louder than the DJ
Louder than the DJ

Louder than the DJ
Louder than the DJ
Louder than the DJ
Louder than the DJ

Someone said a long time ago
Rock ‘n’ roll would never grow old
She still got the fire left in her bones
And we’re not gonna pack up and go cause we’re

Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
She’ll be back some day, I know, baby

Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ
Faster, faster, faster than the airwaves
Louder, louder, louder than the DJ

Someone said a long time ago
Rock ‘n’ roll would never grow old
She still got the fire left in her bones
The lights go down, the crowd explodes

Louder than the DJ
(And Ian’s guitar)
Louder than the DJ
(The band at the bar)
Louder than the DJ
(Never change who you are)
Louder than the DJ

Lyrics

Alive!
And right before your eyes
It’s easy to think twice
A choice can change your life

Angry fists, angry eyes
Thought you’d take them by surprise
And unleash all your demons upon them
With your guns and your knives
Left them fighting to survive
You’re the villain but you played the victim

Never took no advice
Did you ever realize
That your violence had taken your virtue
Well you can’t wash away
the mistakes of yesterday
When the boys wearing blue come to greet you

And I can hear the sirens still calling your name
And I can see the ashes rise up from the flames
When love was still around
When love was still around
One day before it all came crashing down

Did you stop and regret?
When the voice inside your head
Got so quiet that you’d hear a pin drop
Did you still like the view
When their guns were aimed at you?
Screaming “Out of the house with your hands up!”

Now you wait in the line
For the prison bell to chime
Singing “I fought the law but the law won”
When you’re done serving time
You can look them in the eyes
While you count all the lives that you’ve broken

And I can hear the sirens still calling your name
And I can see the ashes rise up from the flames
When love was still around
When love was still around
One day before it all came crashing down

And I can see the flashing lights take you away
And now the tears are rolling down your mother’s face
When love was still around
When love was still around
One day before it all came crashing down

When love was still around
When love was still around
One day before it all came crashing down

When love was still around
When love was still around
Some day you’ll see the life that you turned down

Alive!
And right before your eyes
It’s easy to think twice
A choice can change your life

Lyrics

Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb nobody cares ’till it’s too late
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb you better pray you’re somewhere safe

We’re transfixed on a pendulum sky
Watch another tank of gasoline run dry
A death stare from a cold dead eye
As you’re chopping up the carrot, sharpening their knives
Don’t blink, keep your eyes on the prize
While you rip me up to pieces, cut me down to size
Don’t dare, try to keep it inside
‘Cause the only way to make us laugh is to make us cry

Just when you thought you’ve seen it all
A storm awaits behind the door
Disgruntled right down to the core
We still go on

Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb nobody cares ’till it’s too late
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb you better pray you’re somewhere safe

Beat up, put the slate to the grind
Another rocket launcher going off inside my mind
Tight cuffs only hold me tight
Every thought about the future leaves me terrified
I’m sick of the same old lies
Why don’t you talk about your feelings? Who gives a shit about mine?
Death grips got a hold of my side
Because the only way to make us laugh is to make us cry

Just when you thought you’ve seen it all
A storm awaits behind the door
Disgruntled right down to the core
We still go on

Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb nobody cares till it’s too late
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb you better pray you’re somewhere safe

Oh, we got a time bomb ticking away inside
And the only way to make us laugh is to make us cry

Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb ticking away

You’re watching the time bomb ticking away inside
And the only way to make us laugh is to make us cry
You’re watching the time bomb ticking away inside
Everybody needs a little help when the world is blind
You’re watching the time bomb ticking away inside
And the only way to make us laugh is to make us cry

You’re watching the time bomb ticking away
You’re watching the time bomb ticking away
You’re watching the time bomb ticking away
You’re watching the time bomb ticking away (our world’s got no liberty)
You’re watching the time bomb ticking away (locked up in a little cage)
You’re watching the time bomb ticking away (this world is a bitter place)
You’re watching the time bomb ticking away (our world’s got no liberty)
You’re watching the time bomb ticking away (locked up in a little cage)
You’re watching the time bomb ticking away (this world is a bitter place)

Lyrics

Tired of all the promises and never coming through
It’s easy to pretend until they turn their back on you
And all the ones that bring you down, their colors weren’t that true
And life’s become a battle that you swore you’d never lose

It don’t matter what went wrong this time, don’t matter what went right
We’re always searching for the reason why
And the longest road to find it will take many years to climb
Don’t wait up for that moment to arrive
Leave them all behind

Yeah, I’m tired of all the promises and never coming through
It’s easy to pretend until they turn their back on you
Yeah, and all the ones that bring you down, their colors weren’t that true
And when you lose your confidence your mind plays tricks on you

It don’t matter what went wrong this time, don’t matter what went right
We’re always searching for the reason why
And the longest road to find it will take many years to climb
We keep on getting stuck here all the time

We’re gonna leave them all behind, We’re gonna leave them all behind
We’re gonna catch that train, the words they say couldn’t stop us if they tried
We’re gonna leave them all behind, We’re gonna leave them all behind
We’re gonna catch that train I know some day everything’s gonna fall in line

I’ve been struck down and defeated every step along the way
Become I’m your own worst enemy when nothing seems to change
You have to fail a thousand times before you get it straight
So catch me if you can ’cause I ain’t leaving this to fate

It don’t matter what went wrong this time, don’t matter what went right
We’re always searching for the reason why
And the longest road to find it will take many years to climb
We keep on getting stuck here all the time

We’re gonna leave them all behind, We’re gonna leave them all behind
We’re gonna catch that train, the words they say couldn’t stop us if they tried
We’re gonna leave them all behind, We’re gonna leave them all behind
We’re gonna catch that train I know some day, everything’s gonna fall in line

Oh, oh, oh
Tired of all the promises and never coming through
Stop waiting for that moment to arrive

We’re gonna leave them all behind, We’re gonna leave them all behind
We’re gonna catch that train, the words they say couldn’t stop us if they tried
We’re gonna leave them all behind, We’re gonna leave them all behind
We’re gonna catch that train I know some day, everything’s gonna fall in line
We’re gonna leave them all behind, We’re gonna leave them all behind
We’re gonna catch that train I know some day, everything’s gonna fall in line
Yeah!

Lyrics

Wherever I go, wherever I go
I have to question the hand that I hold close
Wherever I go, wherever I go
I have to silence the words that you fear most

Don’t ever let go, don’t ever let go
Are we destined to hit the ground below?
Don’t ever let go, don’t ever let go
We’re at the end of a burning tightrope

Now I’m waiting on the corner in the back of your mind
It’s a lonely place to live, and I got nowhere to hide
Cause you told me that you’d never be afraid of heights again
Nobody ever thought that we could make it this high
You’re the only one I’d follow ’til the end of time
If we fall, we fall together, baby, don’t think twice again

Together I know, together I know
That we’d burn like a rocket’s afterglow
Together I know, together I know
We could conquer the stars beyond this world

We let it all go, we let it all go
I’m just a voice on a broken radio
We let it all go, we let it all go
We got lost in the constellations

I’m still waiting on the corner in the back of your mind
It’s a lonely place to live, and I got nowhere to hide
Cause you told me that you’d never be afraid of heights again
Nobody ever thought that we could make it this high
You’re the only one I’d follow ’til the end of time
If we fall, we fall together, baby, don’t think twice again

Yeah!

You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights
You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights
You told me we should never be afraid of heights again
You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights
You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights
If we fall, we fall together, baby, don’t think twice again

Don’t be afraid to walk this tightrope anymore
(You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights)
(You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights)
Cause if we’re brave we’ll never fall
(You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights again)
Don’t be afraid to walk this tightrope anymore
(You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights)
(You told me that you’d never be afraid of heights)
Cause you’ll be safe here in my arms
(If we fall, we fall together, baby, don’t think twice again)

Wherever I go, wherever I go
I’m just a voice on a broken radio
Wherever I go, wherever I go
I know we’ll burn like a rocket’s afterglow

Don’t ever let go, don’t ever let go
Girl are we destined to hit the ground below?
Don’t ever let go, don’t ever let go
Did we get lost in the constellations?
