2020's LYRICS

LEGAL AT LAST
(Lips, Reiner)

Now's the time, pick up the pace
Now we'll make an about face
Complexities yet to be seen
Change rules of society
We take responsibility
Is it what it should have been?
It should have been

Chorus:
Not just like the past
Legal at last
(Legal, legal, legal)
Legal at last

Now you take your medicine
All a big financial win
Government is in delight
Find the cure for cancer
We're looking for the answer
Let's hope we've done it right
Done it right

-Chorus-

Legal at last
Legal at last

They say it's recreational
Profits are sensational
Money to be made
Give me doctors' good advice
Just another human vice
That the government Okayed
(Okayed)
It's Okayed
(Okayed)

-Chorus-
Legal at last
(Legal, legal, legal)
Legal at last
Legal at last
(Legal, legal, legal)
Legal at last


NABBED IN NEBRASKA
(Lips, Reiner)

Habitiual behaviour with no foreseeable end
Pot in the pocket, given by a friend

Prohibited substance in different states
While crossing boundaries, police lay in wait

Pre-chorus:
Decriminalization and just a fine to pay
Money making machine works all day

Chorus:
Nabbed in Nebraska
Misdemeanor serves no time
Nabbed in Nebraska
Smoking weed ain't no crime

Thousands of patrons and dollars to be made
A vicious game of cat and mouse authorities have played

-Chorus-

Drug dogs and searches at roadside stops
A team of proffesional drug busting cops
Less than an ounce and more than a gram
Seized and confiscated, it's all a sham

-Pre-chorus-
-Chorus-
Nabbed in Nebraska
Nabbed in Nebraska


CHEMTRAILS
(Lips, Reiner)

Chemical concoction fill the air and sky
Political decisions, don't care if you live or die

Control the atmosphere, climate and what we breathe
Like a science expiriment they're trying to achieve

Chorus:
Chemtrials
Poisoning the air
You know it's not fair
Chemtrials
Poisoning the sky
Chemtrials
Don't ask why

Vandals and hoodlums destroy and polute the air
Pretensious and arrogant, acting like they care

-Chorus-

Insecticides and chemicals meant to serve us well
Cancer pharmaceuticals on the road to hell

Call it conspiricy, deny the real fact
Vanishing vapour trail, you know it's a murderous act
They say it's global warming, carbon dioxide's to blame
The raping of the money, stupidity and shame

-Chorus-
Chemtrials
Chemtrials
Chemtrials
Chemtrials

A means without an end
Government complicity

TALKING TO THE WALL
(Lips, Reiner)

Thickheaded, stubborn people
To deal with all the time
Everything the hard way
Simplicity becomes a crime
Nothing said gets understood
They never get the plot
Same excuses everyday
Your nerves will soon be shot

Upon deaf ears it falls

Chorus:
Talking
Talking
Talking to the wall
Talking
Talking
Talking to the wall

Broken record, redundancy
Is so commonplace
A constant deficiency
And their lowbrow is a disgrace

Upon deaf ears it falls
Through blind eyes it calls

-Chorus-

A lack of comprehension
Mistakes all along the way
Nimble minded immbeciles
I'd love to throw you away

Long list of stupid people
Making decisions for the wise
Corrupted, criminal leadership
And the financial compromise
The world is now broken
And in need of some repairs
Who can you trust to fix it
In a world where no one cares?

Upon deaf ears it falls
Through blind eyes it calls
Like talking to the wall

Talking
(Talking)
Talking
(Talking)
Talking to the wall
Talking
(Talking)
Talking
(Talking)
Talking to the wall
Talking
(Talking)
Talking
(Talking)
Talking to the wall
Talking
(Talking)
Talking
(Talking)
Talking to the wall


GLASS HOUSE
(Lips, Reiner)

From outside, in you can see
Complete visibility
Reading like an open book
There for all to look
Losing all you privacy
Surveillance for security
There is no place to hide
Nowhere to go inside
Nowhere to go inside

Chorus:
(Glass House)
Through the wall
You can see it all
(Glass House)
Losing privacy
(Glass House)
Me and you
Living in a zoo
(Glass House)
There for all to see

Cameras used to observe
Is this what we deserve?
Walk by the electric eye
That has no tears to cry

-Chorus-
Losing privacy

There is no lock, there is no key
When you lose your privacy
There is no doors for you to close
It's all there to expose
All there to expose

(Glass House)
Through the wall
You can see it all
(Glass House)
Losing privacy
(Glass House)
Me and you
Living in a zoo
(Glass House)
-Chorus-
For your security
Glass House


PLASTIC IN PARADISE
(Lips, Reiner)

In this disposable world
Nothing's built to last
Striving for convenience
And we want it fast

Packaging our products
And everything we buy
The garbage it's creating
Is piled to the sky
To the sky
Piled to the sky

Chorus:
Plastic in paradise
Air, land and sea
Plastic in paradise
High toxic debris

Disposing of refuge
Landfills up to capacity
The ocean floor is littered
Beyond reality
Reality
Beyond reality
Reality
Beyond reality

-Chorus-

Plastic drinking bottles
For miles upon the sea
Toxic, deadly poisons
That should never be
Never be
That should never be

-Chorus-


BOTTOM LINE
(Lips, Reiner)

Good news, bad news, which do you want first?
All for the better, not for the worse
Tally up the winnings and hope you are fine
When luck is on your side you kmow it's a good sign
A good sign

Chorus:
Bottom Line
It's a bottom line
Bottom Line

Random acts of kindness repaid in spades
An undying love that never fades
That never fades

-Chorus-

Take control
Of what you can
Stay on track
Stick to the plan

Life can throw a curveball, which way will it go?
Striking out is not a choice, losing you'll never know
Looking for something to give you a sign
What's your's is your's, what's mine is mine

-Chorus-
It's a bottom line
-Chorus-
It's a bottom
It's a bottom
It's a bottom line


FOOD FOR THE VULTURE
(Lips, Reiner)

Cold hearted business, brutal mentality
Shredding the flesh with starved intensity
Smelling blood and a carcass to eat
The endless cycle you'll never defeat

Chorus:
Death is the deal
Turned into a meal
Food for the vulture
Food for the vulture

Heartless souls with survival in mind
Same can be said for all of mankind
Scavaging hunger Drives sanity
A wakeup call for humanity

-Chorus-
Food for the vulture
Food for the vulture

Picking the meat down to the bone
Take away all you have known
Falling victim and the vulnerability
Laws of nature where there is no guarantee

-Chorus-
Food for the vulture
Food for the vulture

Food for the vulture
Food for the vulture


SAID AND DONE
(Lips, Reiner)

Every contingency you've planned and conceived
Averting destruction and fighting to be believed
Taking control of the world where you exist
Striving for perfection, you know you must persist

When all's been said and done

A raging battle, stay relevant and true
In a doubtful world where people have no clue
Work ethics built with pure integrity
Just a possible hope for some sanity

When all's been said and done
When all's been said and done

Said and done
Said and done
Said and done

Communication is the tool of truth
Words of wisdom for tomorrow's youth
Deathbed confessions void of any regret
Fulfillment of desires, on that you place your bet

When all's been said and done
When all's been said and done

Said and done
Said and done


NO TIME
(Lips, Reiner)

Hurry up and wait
Ariving early or being late
Going with the flow
How you come and where you go
Destiny and fate
Is the time and is the date
Anxiety prevails
It's the wind in the sails

No time
No time

Limitation by design
End result down the line
Living once is all we get
Die with no regret
Don't stop to think
All over in a blink
Wind the clock, never stop
Rock until you drop

No time
No time
Time runs out
No time
No time

No time
No time
Time runs out
No time
No time

Counting down time
Life is sublime
Don't waste a day
Come out and play
Don't you stop to think
It's all over in a blink
Wind the clock, never stop
Rock until you drop

No time
No time
No time
Time runs out, you'll see
No time
No time
No time
Living, that's the key
No time
No time
No time
No time
No time
No time


DON'T SHOOT THE MESSENGER
(Lips, Reiner)

Just because the news is bad
Or you think that you've been had
Through the grapevine you do hear
All the facts become unclear
Finding out the news is fake
Truth can be so hard to take
Like a pill that's hard to swallow
What is real and who to follow?

Everyone has been mislead
Because of lies that have been said

Chorus:
Don't shoot the messenger
He's not to blame
Don't shoot the messenger
Always the same

Listening to what the say
Twisted truth that they convey
Alternate facts from a lying cheat
Competition you can't defeat

Everyone has been mislead
Because of lies that have been said

-Chorus-

In the end no one to trust
Until then live with disgust
Shaky ground we do walk
The broken phone on they do talk
No way to communicate
Only there to frustrate
Bad decisions they always make
Government may become fake

Everyone has been mislead
Because of lies that have been said
-Chorus-

-Chorus-
Don't shoot the messenger
Don't shoot the messenger


TAKE A LESSON
(Lips, Reiner)

Try to keep yourself from being led astray
Ignore the stupid things that people say
Back stabbing liars, how the deceive
They're not the cure, they are the disease

When you know you're right, follow your heart
1 Never let anyone rip it apart
Take what you got til you have not
On the spot, it's you they forgot

Chorus:
Won't you
Won't you
Won't you
Take a lesson from me
Don't you
Don't you
Don't you
Turn your back on me

Never giving up is what they always say
They never had to work for a single day
Backseat driving on an easy street
The competition, you must defeat
Vision that's clear
Long career
Look in the mirror

-Chorus-

Take it from me

When I was young and I was starting out
Thought I knew what it was all about
Many roads that led to betrayal
The enemies that hoped I would fail
Left behind in a cloud of dust
Learn to love and hope to trust
I got it right, all in hindsight
I saw the light, the future is bright

-Chorus-


GHOST SHADOW
(Lips, Reiner)

I'm being followed by something I can't see
No shape or form, invisibility
Always there but I never know
Benign or hostile? Friend or foe?

Chorus:
Ghost Shadow
Ghost Shadow

Haunting my soul. I feel it there
Better or worse or should I care?

Coming after me
Something you can't see
Feel the presence near
No shred of fear

-Chorus 2X-

I'm being followed by an entity
Cloaked by invisibility
Always there but I never know
Benign or hostile? Friend or foe?

Coming after me
Something you can't see
Feel the presence near
No shred of fear

-Chorus 2X-


ANOTHER GUN FIGHT
(Lips, Reiner)

Criminal activity
Like a battle at rage
Cops and robbers entangle
And in pursuit they engage
They engage

Out comes the weaponry
Bullets start to fly
Duck and take cover
Time to do or die
Aim your gun, take a shot
Give back the reply

Chorus:
Gun fight
Another gun fight
Gun fight
Another gun fight

Pistol packing mobster
And a fingered private eye

-Chorus-

Always killing
Blood is spilling
Incarceration time

Criminal behavior
A living that doesn't pay
Dead upon the pavement
The results of gun play
Own one for protection
Not in commission of a crime
Just for illegal ownership
Give them mandatory time

Gun fight
(Fight!)
Another gun fight
(Fight!)
Gun fight
(Fight!)
Another gun fight
(Gun fight!)
Gun fight
(Fight!)
Another gun fight
(Fight!)
Gun fight
(Fight!)
Another gun fight
(Gun fight!)


FIRE RAIN
(Lips, Reiner)

Alright!

Burning fragments of iron ore
(Coming down)
Streak the sky and begin to pour
(All around)

Fire rain
Fire rain
Fire rain

Bringing flames to the landscape
(Wild fire)
Run for your life, try to escape
(Desperate and dire)

Fire rain

Fire rain
Fire rain
Fire rain just coming down
Fire rain
Fire rain
Fire rain just coming down

DON'T LOOK BACK
(Lips, Reiner)

Rose coloured glass
When you think of the past
All gone in a blink
The good old days
Vanished in a haze
Faster than you can think
Than you think
Heartbreak and lost
How much does it cost?
To learn a lesson well
Wrong turn, right turn
Just another bridge to burn
On the way through hell
Living with no regret
Thankful for what you get

Don't look back

Yesterday's news
You gotta pay your dues
Rules of a game
Tomorrow's dream
What's the scheme
Losing should have no shame
Never menat to cause it
Skeleton in the closet
Only yourslef to blame
Leaving the past behind
Open door to a future find

Chorus:
Don't look back
Don't look back
Don't look back

Forget the pain
Don't relive it again
There's a time to move on
Future at stake
Chance you must take
Grab it before it's gone
Learn from mistakes
The loss of good breaks
Focus on your goal
Go forward, be brave
Putting flowers on your grave
God bless your soul
Living with no regret
Bad times you must forget

-Chorus 2X-


SOMEONE TO HATE
(Lips, Reiner)

Divisive influence dominates one's soul
To look for difference, the focus and the goal
Finding the faults and looking to see bad
To incite confrontation, arguments to be had

Social distortion, incongruence to blame
Murdering your neighbor, the pity, the shame
Revenge or vengeance, doesn't matter the choice
Polarized vision, you only have just one voice

Chorus:
Someone to hate
(Someone to hate!)
Someone to hate
Don't matter who
Someone to hate
(Someone to hate!)
Someone to hate
And you'll do

The beast and it's nature are damned for eternity
What will be the future? there is no certainty

Technical advancements made on the backs of war
Medical expiriments lay dead on the killing floor
Destructive philosophy in ruin and despair
Down a swirling drain, try to stop it if, if you dare

-Chorus-
Someone to hate
(Someone to hate!)
Someone to hate
Don't matter who
Someone to hate
(Someone to hate!)
Someone to hate
And I hate you too


BAD SIDE OF TOWN
(Lips, Reiner)

Back alleys and side streets, the downtown city at night
Doesn't matter where you go someone wants to fight

Chorus:
Bad side of town
Bad side of town

Hoodlums, hookers and drug deals go together well
Police batons and jail cells, on the road to hell
Best watch where you go
You don't want to know

-Chorus-

-Chorus-

Guns and knives, the tools of the bastard's trade
Stealing, rape and murder are just the tip of the blade
Best watch where you go
You don't want to know

-Chorus 2X-


WIZARD'S WAND
(Lips, Reiner)

Bringing his magic
His special magic
Bringing his magic everywhere
Changing the whole world
The moral compass of society
All across the whole world, everywhere

Chorus:
The wizard's wand
The wizard's wand

Hatred to loving
Complete racial equality
Hatred to loving
In a world that's fair
Spirits yell
Cast a spell

-Chorus-
Just a wave

All of us to save
To save

Wishing for magic
Some special magic
Wishing for magic everywhere
Hatred to loving
The saving of our society
Hatred to loving
Making it fair
Cast a spell
Spirits yell

-Chorus 4X-


LOCKDOWN
(Lips, Reiner)

Tiger in a cage
Feeling the rage
Victom of a plight
Poison in the air
Feeling the terror
Darkness devours the light
The darkness devours the light

Sickness all around
Vaccine will soon be found
To end this misery
Trapped in quarantine
By Covid-19
Stop this calamity
Stop this calamity

Chorus:
Lockdown
Caught in a lockdown
Lockdown
Caught in a lockdown

Nowhere to run to
Nowhere to hide

Breaking the chain
Releasing the pain
Freedom must arise
Breathing the same air
Not having to care
I'm glad to be alive
I'm glad to be alive

-Chorus 3X-


EXPLOSIVE ENERGY
(Lips, Reiner)

Say hallelujah
I'm glad to know ya

You can feel it all around
Excitement is in the air
Like a switch turned on
Or a time bomb
Just some clean fun if you dare

Explosive Energy
Explosive Energy
Let it out
Explosive Energy
Explosive Energy
Scream and shout

Give what you got
What you love alot
Hope it never goes away
Do what you will

Like a torch burning
Cauldron stirring
Magic from a spell

No matter what the cost
You can't buy love
Or God above
Hope can't be lost

Explosive Energy
Explosive Energy
Let it out
Explosive Energy
Explosive Energy
Scream and shout
Explosive Energy
Explosive Energy
Let it go
Explosive Energy
Explosive Energy
Watch it blow


THE RABBIT HOLE
(Lips, Reiner)

Misinformation, increased stupidity
Led by blinded leaders, no grasp of reality
Corruption of media has only just begun
Lies become truth that can't be undone

Chorus:
Goin down the rabbit hole
Goin down the rabbit hole

Blinded sheep that follow the absurd insanity
Lambs to the slaughter, QAnon society
Manipulation of the world today
Leaders fall and falter, the peopleto pay
Get down on your knees and begin to pray
What will be tomorrow? no one can say

-Chorus-
Goin down the rabbit hole
Never return
Goin down the rabbit hole
In Hell you'll burn

Goin down the rabbit hole
Goin down the rabbit hole

Buying politicians when they're up for sale
Direction of greed is detined to fail
Divide and conquer, corrupt game they play
Leave you at the alter with the bill to pay
Get down on your knees, shut up and obey
What will be tomorrow? just another day

-Chorus 2X-
Goin down the rabbit hole
Being misled
Goin down the rabbit hole
Eat what you're fed
Goin down the rabbit hole
Never return
Goin down the rabbit hole
In Hell you'll burn
Burn
Burn


SHOCK WAVE
(Lips, Reiner)

Disaster time, we don't know when it will come to be
Looking through blinded eyes, what we want to see

A crazy world in which we live like children at play
The wake up call may soon be here and send us all away
They never let us know or give a reason why
When a disaster hits, hoping you won't die
Don't die

Chorus:
Shock wave
Shock wave
Shock wave
Shock wave

Warning signs we never see, they could seal our fate
To be aware and show you care, you know it's not too late
They never let us know or give a reason why
Discover your destiny and if you live or die
Live or die

-Chorus-

The final hour may never pass or never come to be
Imagination in your mind becomes reality
They never let us know or give a reason why
No matter the consequence, we know we must survive
Must survive

-Chorus-


GOMEZ
(Lips, Reiner)

Gomez!


ONE AND ONLY
(Lips, Reiner)

Originality the key to success
The only way to greatly impress
Redundant copies receive no praise
People waiting for a brand new craze
A brand new craze

Individuality's the way to stand out
Deriving something new is what it's about
Never get far doing the same old thing
Ground breaking is always king
It's always king

I must be thee one and only

I must be the one that's unique
I must be thee one and only
No one compares and no one competes
No one competes

Discovery of a brand new thing
A never heard melody there to sing
Capturing a unique identity
The road to success a certainty
A certainty

I must be thee one and only
I must be the one
I must be thee one and only
I must be the one that's unique
I must be thee one and only
I must be unique

FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHTS
(Lips, Reiner)

Unscrupulous business, criminal with intent
Copyright infringement and where the money went
Misrepresented contracts and everything's been breached
Compensate for injury, payment to be reached

Chorus:
Fighting for your rights
Fighting for your rights

Sign in perpetuity, the blood will never dry
Legally binding documents until the day youy die
Making back door deals where you'll never see a dime
There is no police to investigate the crime

-Chorus 2X-

Over and over I hear them say
Over and over I hear them say
Take them to court and make them pay

Lawyers can be criminal and be within the law
Brutallly ruthless with the grip of an eagle's claw
Bottom feeding parasites, a criminal sysytem win
There's blood in the water the sharks will begin

-Chorus 2X-


HEARTBROKEN
(Lips, Reiner)

Psychological cost when dealing with loss
The emptiness is hard to bear
Feeling the pain can drive one insane
The real proof to know you care

When you say goodbye, the last tear you cry
The time will never come soon
Right from the start a broken heart
Your soul is left in ruin
Left in ruin

Heartbroken, when your love is going down
Heartbroken, when your love is going down
Heartbroken, when your love is going, going down

The eternal strife within one's life
Comes from what you lose
Have the belief that from that grief
It's not for you to choose
Not for you to choose

Heartbroken, when your love is going down
Heartbroken, when your love is going down
Heartbroken, when your love is going
Love is going
Love is going
Down


GOLD AND DIAMONDS
(Lips, Reiner)

The hunt for precious metal
Began ages ago
The value it holds in posession
Only the wealthy to know

They discovered a special substance
The hardest known to man
They called it a diamond
And set the price as high as the can

Chorus:
Duped and had
All just a fad
Gold and diamonds
Gold and diamonds
Gold and diamonds
Gold and diamonds

All just a fad

Adorning themselves with jewels
Being selfish to the core
Keeping up with the Joneses
And always wanting more

-Chorus-


DEAD MAN SHOES
(Lips, Reiner)

Never catch me dead is what they say
Another stupid line, another cliché
Worn out shoes stinking of booze
Who's to choose
The voice of reason is load and clear
Cowards on their knees that shake in fear
It's not a secret yelled in your ear
In your ear

Chorus:
Dead man shoes
Dead man shoes
Dead man shoes

Under a ladder a black cat cross your trail
Good luck charms that can't help but fail
Superstitious fools making rules
Stupid tools

-Chorus 2X-

Old and worn
Ripped and torn
Wear a pair
If you dare

Just another shitty end of a stick
Another bade joke or dirty trick
Worn out shoes stinking of booze
Who's to choose
Never catch me dead is what they say
Another stupid line, another cliché
Superstitious tools making rules
Stupid fools

-Chorus 4X-


TRUTH IS DYING
(Lips, Reiner)

The proliferation
Of misinformation
Obliterating all that's true
Maze that's like a marathon
Something to wish upon
Learning things I never knew

Learning things I never knew

Rules for sake of rules
Made by utter fools
Another stupid mandate
Following the money
Not meant to be funny
It may be far too late

Pre-chorus:
Realize
Realize
With open eyes
With open eyes
I don't want to hear the lies

Truth is dying
There's no denying
Truth is dying, realize
Truth is dying
There's no denying
Truth is dying, open your eyes

Problem with humanity
And all their insanity
Issues presented everyday
What is the solution
Another delusion
Soon there will be hell to pay

-Pre-chorus-

Truth is dying
There's no denying
Truth is dying, bloody lies
Truth is dying
There's no denying
Truth is dying, it's what I despise
It's what I despise

For those who take the gambe
The world is in a shamble
All according to TV
There is no advice
We all pay the price
You can count me out and let me be

-Pre-chorus-

Truth is dying
There's no denying
Truth is dying, open your eyes
Truth is dying
There's no denying
Truth is dying, bloody lies
Truth is dying
There's no denying
Truth is dying, realize
Truth is dying
There's no denying
Truth is dying, it's what I despise


ROCKING THE WORLD
(Lips, Reiner)

Chorus:
Rocking the world
Rocking the world
Rocking the world
Rocking the world

Musician's life is to travel far
Train or plane or in a car
Playing shows where you can
Another concert, another fan
Dedication to the music cause
Waiting for the people's applause
Live the moment to it's full extent
Do it now before your time is spent

-Chorus-

Never enough, always wanting more
Endless good times to live for
Taking vacations that will never end
Opened schedule with time to spend
Everyday something new to see
Places and people that are meeting me
Making memeories to never forget
Hit the jackpot on a winning bet
On a winning bet

Chorus #2:
Rocking the world
Rocking the world
Rocking the world
Rock, rock, rock the world
-Chorus-

Every country has it's own delight
Culture and history in full sight
People are people everywhere you go
Good or bad, you'll never know
Great friends you've made along the way
The true weight in gold, you've been paid
Live the moment to it's full extent
Do it now before your time is spent
Before your time is spent

-Chorus #2-
Rocking the world


RUN AWAY
(Lips, Reiner)

When I find trouble
I exit on the double
Get me out fast
Don't be last outta here
Outta here
Never like a fight
Staying outta sight
All I gotta say
Is keep me away and clear
And clear
A hiding place
Where they'll find no trace
Get my ass in gear

Chorus:
Run away
Run away
Run away
Run away

You kmnow I must confess
I hate the stress
Finding a route
To get me out
Get me out
Love to live carefree
The only way to be
You gotta shout
There is no doubt
No doubt
When the chips are down
You won't find me around
That's what I'm about

-Chorus-

Run away
Run away

Conflict to avoid
Or be annoyed
Just gotta say
Keep it away from me
From me
I don't need advice
Or pay the price
Wide open eyes
Hear the lies and you'll see
And you'll see
Until my final end
I don't need a friend
To be my enemy

-Chorus-
Run away
Run away

Until my final end
I don't need a friend
To be my enemy

Run away


WORLD OF FOOLS
(Lips, Reiner)

Repitition of the same mistakes
Never learning what it takes
Desperation to lay blame
Empty excuses, it's always the same
Always the same

Chorus:
World of fools
World of fools
World of fools
World of fools

Forgotten morals of a distant past
The buried embers that never last
Misinformation, the pack of lies
Misinterpreted, no one complies
No one complies

-Chorus-

Integration, the desired state
Caveman's computer time too late
Cancelation of historical facts
Truth falls between the cracks
Between the cracks

-Chorus-


CONDEMNED LIBERTY
(Lips, Reiner)

Freedom abuse becomes an excuse
For the fools to change the rules
Cancel culture, an evil vulture
Teaching their history in schools

Purity of insecurity
Worst fears and the most tears
Lay the blame on the insane
No one ever hears
Priority of the majority
Exchange to make great change
Talking head, better off dead
A leader known to be deranged
Protest, regresssed into defeat

Chorus:
Condemned liberty
Condemned liberty
Condemned liberty
Condemned liberty

Freedom abused, logic refused
For the fools who make the rules
Cancel culture, an evil vulture
Teaching done by tools
Insanity of humanity
Losing rights, freedom rights
Always the same, passing the blame
Out go the lights

-Chorus 2X-


BLIND RAGE
(Lips, Reiner)

Chorus:
Blind rage
Blind rage

Volatile emotion spinning out of control
Temper flaring and impossible to console

-Chorus-

Red faced anger and adrenaline
Fueling intense heat

-Chorus-

Violent over reaction
Never to concede

-Chorus-

Blood boiling compulsion bringing havoc to destroy
Building an arsenal of words to deploy

-Chorus-

The bull in the arena attacks
When it sees red

-Chorus-

The toreador's blade
Makes sure the bull is dead

Clenching your jaw, clenching your fists
That's when youy know you're really pissed

-Chorus-

Seething vengeance
Unleasing insanity

-Chorus-

The psychological downfall
Of humanity

-Chorus 2X-


WHEN YOU REALLY WANT IT
(Lips, Reiner)

Condition began when I started my trip
Mental addiction and it's solid grip
Never enough, always craving love
Centre of focus all you're thinking of

Chorus:
When you really want it
When you really want it

Looking for acceptance and wishing to please
Honing your skill to have the expertise
Achieve the goal like winning a prize
Having the knowledge you will realize

-Chorus-
When you really want it
Go get it
When you really want it
Make it so

When the time comes be prepared
Don't you be scared

Attaining accolades are par for the course
Tolerance, tenacity, determined force
Beneficiaries of your own free will
Living the dream and living the thrill
Building of confidence, the love you know
Never ending cycle for the love to grow
Pride is a power to direct the way
Saying thanks for another day

-Chorus 5X-
When you really want it
Make it so


GRINDSTONE
(Lips, Reiner)

When I started out
I had no doubt
I thought time was on my side
Taking stock
The countdown clock
Is ticking til the day you've died
Challenge ahead
Before you're dead
The goals you must achieve
Never get lost
Worry of cost
In yourself you must believe

Chorus:
Keep your nose to the grindstone
Keep your nose to the grindstone
And never let your dreams slip away

Uphill battle
Stay in the saddle
Blazing a brand new trail
Become a force
You stay the course
You know you'll never fail

-Chorus-
Keep your nose to the grindstone
And never let your dreams slip away

Fighting the fight
Doing what's right
Going after your goal
Taking it on
Until you're gone
The fulfillment of one's soul
Never give in
Or play to win
Remaining in the game
Roll the dice
Blinded mice
Giving up is a goddamned shame

-Chorus 2X-
And never let your dreams slip away
Keep your nose to the grindstone
