1. Generation Riot
Follow the rules and do what they say
Step into line and then fade away
Count down the time and don’t make a noise
I Don’t Think So!
They say we are the minority
Faced with the threat of authority
A show of strength they silence our rights
They know we’re loud when we gotta be
Yeah Yeah , You’ll never keep us quiet
Yeah Yeah, You’ll never knock us down
Yeah Yeah, We’re the Generation Riot!
And now we’re lost to society
Because we are who we want to be
They’re scared of feeding the enemy
They know they’ll never be stopping it
Not here to start a riot
But you can’t keep us quiet
Lets start a fucking RIOT!
2. Long Time Coming
Everybody’s got a bad side
Everybody wants to hide
Now you now that I will always be your one
Coz when our stars collide
They throw the planets out of line
And the whole world crash into the sun
Sometimes I feel like we’re pushing up hill
While we’re never really moving on
It’s been a long time coming
A lot of blood sweat and money
But it all means nothing at the end of the day
When you’re gone
Tell me have you paid the price
Have you suffered the fight
Have you had it all thrown in your face
And now were stuck together
Maybe Stuck forever
In a story that will never go away
Sometimes I feel like we’re pushing up hill
While we’re free falling out of the race
It’s such a bitter sweet feeling
What you lost to keep living
But it all means nothing at the end of the day
When you’re gone
3. What You Gonna Do
Tongue tied up, I’m your soul instigator
With your black shirt, black jeans new aviators
Gonna scratch that seven year itch til it bleeds
Til the blood boils over and you’re down on your knees
Everything you say, I can Say it better
Come on tell me now, What you gonna do
You’re a modern day fighter for the mass undecided
Wrapped up in your cotton wool, rich lifestyle
With your big jet planes, your desire for fame
And your big fat nothing with no one to blame
Everything you want, I can want it better
Come on tell me now, What you gonna do
You’re a big fat liar with your mind in the gutter
And your big fat words like they don’t even matter
And you’re one step forward and your two steps back
From your three step plan and your counter attack!
Every time you fuck, I can fuck much better
Come on tell me now, What you gonna do
What you gonna do!
4. Bullet
Picture this in silence, it’s us against the world
The last of the believers are falling on their word
They want to make it happen, they couldn’t stand to bleed
Here I am falling on my knees
Wake me from the nightmare, put me down to sleep
The smell of beer soaked in these jeans, it’s all so bittersweet
The wheels keep on turning, the engine has run dry
Here I am left out in the night
Confide in the bullet, and your enemy
Now you’re left with nothing, Nothing’s for free
Built on the deception, of loyalty and trust
It’s headed for destruction, forever in the past
Chew you up, spit you out, what it seems to be
Here I am falling to my knees
5. Roses
I was blind but now I see it
Been hurt but not defeated
And now I plant this seed
And watch this monster grow
Will you stand by your word
Find your strength and move on
Or will you fall on your sword
And take us all to hell
Wake up and smell the roses
Little pieces, built this mountain
And now I can’t get over it
Wake up and seize the moment
Find a new way home, you’re on your own
So go and smell the roses
Here I stand against my treason
My words don’t stand for reason
I guess it’s killing season
It’s what they’ve got to do
Will you stand by your word
Find your strength and move on
Or will you fall on your sword
And take us all to hell
Wake up and smell the roses
Little pieces, built this mountain
And now I can’t get over it
Wake up and seize the moment
Find a new way home, you’re on your own
So go and smell the roses
6. Face in the Crowd
I’ve been here before a few times
Life has a way of turning everything around
I build walls to hide from the hard times
History repeats it all comes crashing down
This is the last time I picture your face
Wiping the memory, forgetting the name
Losing the good times along with the bad
All that you are, is just a face in the crowd
I’ve been told I’m not that easy
Maybe it’s the fact that I always have to deal with this
We both build our defenses
History repeats once again and now I’m done with it
7. Over and Out
I’ve been pushed to the back of the line
Hung drawn and quartered, I’m a victim of crime
I’m whats left from all that’s right
I’m getting down with the devil tonight
Keep on rolling with the punches
Knocking me down
Get back up, feed the fire
Over and out
They say the sky is falling
Hell below is burning
Here I stand against the trend
I guess I’m never learning
Keep on rolling with the punches
Knocking me down
Get back up, feed the fire
Over and out
Keep on rolling with the punches
Coz I am feeling nothing
Keep on rolling with the punches
Over and out!
8. Pieces
The words are the same now the message has changed
Now I am writing this letter to you
And after all the dust has settled
The only words you need are the truth
Rock and Roll, you gotta show it
Gotta stand up and live for your life
But you played me for a fool
And I can only do what is right
Love lost, pick up the pieces
Burn that bridge now you gotta get over it
Don’t look back, just keep on walking
Love Lost, pick up the pieces
Made your bed now you’re sleeping in it tonight
Don’t look back, just keep on walking.
Keep on Walking
What to you do when they’re coming for you
There’s no real way to escape
Do you listen to reality
You know the blows are coming your way
Locked and loaded, now you know it
Are you man enough to still show your face
After all the dust is settled
We’re all just victims of fate
9. The Wrecking Crew
Welcome to the world
Of liars and Lovers
And fighters and numbers
And losers that think they’re gonna
Find the easy way
Like nothing has to change
And when it all gets torn apart
They think that it will fall into place
Coz we built it
To destroy it
And rebuilt it
We’re the Wreckers and fighters
We’re the guns for hire
If you build the fucker up, I’ll burn the fucker down
With your money and lawyers
And people on your side
If you need a little break get the Wrecking Crew to town
So here’s a little taste
Of fortune and freedom
And morals with meanings
It’s almost inconceivable
That here we are again
Just cleaning up the mess
We dug ourselves into a hole
And hoped the storm would come to an end
10. Gettin Heavy
Five AM on King Street and all my friends are doing what they do
I’ve got a funny feeling all my friends are gonna wind up just like you
Enough of the small talk tell me what we’re in for
I’m on a high and I never want to fall
Wake up on a dirty alley street, I lost my head I lost my keys
Drive to see the sunrise, the stop signs and maybe find my feet
I’m out on the floor while she’s listening to Zeppelin
She’s a Whole Lotta Love on a Stairway to Heaven
And now it’s morning, it’s Thursday morning what went wrong
And now my baby, my money my thoughts I lost them all
I’m back from the ashes from the high speed crashes
From the soul searching truths of the King Street Blues
From the gutter to the Street and all that’s in between
From the long lost worn out memory of you
I’m the washed up no good trash talking fighter
And I’d find a better way if I only could remember
I’m with the Devil tonight
I’m with the Devil tonight
I’m gettin heavy tonight
I’m getting heavy tonight
11. A Mile In My Shoes
In another world I would find out my real friends
And I wouldn’t be asking whos the better man
With my mind on the matter, I’m the big trend setter
With the goals that they’re promising
It’s a captains call but I’m sailing on
Or I’m going down with this ship
They say I’ve gone and done it all for nothing
They say it like its already set in stone
Like the scenes been written with a start and an ending
And a curve ball in between
They say I’m wrong, when it’s said and done
I guess we’ll wait and see
So walk a mile in my shoes
Tell me what it does to you
It’s the only road I choose
Walk a mile in my shoes
In another world I wouldn’t even survive the fall
Or I’d hate the game, or I wouldn’t even play at all
Tell me why do you care if we’re all gonna end up
Six feet down in a hole
If you’re still on the fence with your thoughts and your sense
Then baby we’re never gonna fly at all
