"Start Living"
 
What am I supposed to tell my kids?
In the story of why the world is the way it is
All of our youth are shielded from truth
In hopes they forget to ask for the proof
I’ll tell them we are the seeds of slaves and immigrants
Nobody’s safe from guilt and ignorance
But if we speak for the voiceless powerless
You can never be accused of cowardice

On and on and on and on
Another generation singing this song
Another generation living by rules
Of the failed ideas of forgotten fools
It’s past the time for us to start living
It’s too late for turning your cheek and forgiving
Now is the time to stand and fight
Don’t hesitate, reclaim your life

Let’s go
We gotta go
If we hesitate it might be too late
So let’s go
We gotta go
Don’t hesitate, reclaim your life
Let’s go

We are the voice of revolution
We are the proof of evolution of the mind
And it’s spread through an underground movement
It’s all fueled by hardcore music
If we can teach our kids to start living
Question everything, forever resisting
We won’t be forgotten when we’re gone
We’ll be more than just a tool of the government

On and on and on and on
Another generation singing this song
Another generation looking for something that’s real
Looking for something they can feel
It’s past the time for us to start living
It’s too late for turning your cheek and forgiving
Now is the time to stand and fight
Don’t hesitate, reclaim your life

"Girls Lie, Cops Lie, Dogs Love"
 
I remember the day we met
You were living on the streets
So I brought you to my home
And I gave you something to eat
You were just skin and bones
When I welcomed you to my home
And now you’re one of us
I never wanna let you go

Girls lied to me
Cops lied to me
My friends lied to me
I guess that makes us human
My mom don’t like me
She barely talks to me
But you’re alright
‘Cause dogs just want to love

I’m sorry about the time I kicked you
I hope you can forgive
But it was brand new carpet
And now it looks like shit
You put your head on my lap
And it made me feel so bad
How could I hurt the best friend I ever had?

Girls lied to me
Cops lied to me
My friends lied to me
I guess that makes us human
My mom don’t like me
She barely talks to me
But you’re alright
‘Cause dogs just want to love

Dogs just want to love
All they wanna do is love
[x2]

We’ve all been lied to
We’ve all been judged
But not from dogs
‘Cause all they do is love
[x2]

Dogs just want to love
All they wanna do is love

"Take Me Home"
 
Take me home [x2]

Do you ever regret your life?
Are you where you wanna be?
Did you take a wrong turn?
Or are you living your destiny?

Is it too late to right the ship?
Or will you just lay down and die?
Are you giving up after all you took?
Underneath a foreign sky

Are you where you wanna be?
Can’t tell the killers from the healers
I’m fighting just to breathe
Take me home
I’ve been awake for days
I’m feeling ripe for the reaper
Can this be happening?
Take me home

I know about loss
I’ve paid the price for wasting time
I’ve seen those eyes on the horizon
Of every friend of mine

I knew a man who met a man
Who was lost on the edge of the blasted lands
For three days and nights I was by his side
Trying to keep his hope alive

Are you where you wanna be?
Can’t tell the killers from the healers
I’m fighting just to breathe
Take me home
I’ve been awake for days
I’m feeling ripe for the reaper
Can this be happening?
Take me home

To my bed
To my love
To my world
Take me home

Every sinner you know, they’re coming home
The feeling overcomes and warms you to your bones
Trying to hide is like squeezing water from a stone
Even wanderers will find their way back home
Every soldier that’s fighting for a cause
Every preacher and deceiver, one and all
Every street disciple criminal and thug
Had better make peace with the people that they love

Every hero, every sinner, every saint
Before you know you’ll be asleep while you’re awake
The ocean’s calling you into it’s warm embrace
The ocean’s calling you so you can be at peace

Take me home
I’m coming home

"The Golden Rule"
 
Hot summer days in New York City
What a strange way to make a living
Waste a whole day just to stack a couple pennies
Now I’m stepping over bums and I feel no pity

Off to the bus stop standing in line
Pushing and shoving trying to take what’s mine
I’m gonna get yours first if I can help it
If no one’s gonna give it to you help yourself

I’m staring at faces feeling distrust
Don’t touch me or I’ll fuck you up
It’s a cold world when you only do for yourself
Give me more man, give me more

They’re always after my blood
They wanna drain every last drop from me
They wanna stomp on my heart
And tear me all apart
Until I’m breathing no more
They’re trying to rob me blind
They’re trying to steal my sanity lately
They wanna steal my peace
They wanna steal my soul
And leave me rotting in a hole

I come home from a hard day’s work
And it’s waiting for me in my living room
Eyes open, sit down with your hands up
This is a jack move [x2]

Be easy just give it up slow
Give it to me or I’ll give it unto you
You can’t fool with the golden rule
In a crowd that don’t play fair

They’re always after my blood
They wanna drain every last drop from me
They wanna stomp on my heart
And tear me all apart
Until I’m breathing no more
They’re trying to rob me blind
They’re trying to steal my sanity lately
They wanna steal my peace
They wanna steal my soul
And leave me rotting in a hole

They try to trick me on the TV
They try to get me on the radio
It’s all lies and they know it
How’d we forget the golden rule?
Billboards on the highway
Newspapers printing fiction
Rewriting our history
How’d we forget the golden rule?

It’s so easy
There’s nothing to it
How’d we forget the golden rule?
It’s so simple
It makes so much sense
How’d we forget the golden rule?

"Burn It Down"
 
Burn it down
Burn it to the ground
Raise your voices, sing it loud
Don’t want to live in a prison now
Spark up a flame and burn it down

How many of you boys and girls got fucked up being no part of this world
They single you out for your fucked up views
But then you find out they’re fucked up too
You can’t keep faking it, no
That’s why we gotta let ‘em know
Our lives are wasted but we’re not gonna take it anymore

Burn it down
Burn it to the ground
Raise your voices, sing it loud
Don’t want to live in a prison now
Spark up a flame and burn it down
You gotta burn!

Spark up a flame and burn it down
Burn it down [x3]
 

"Splinter"
 
I’m sorry - I’m sorry for all the times my momma cried
And I apologize - And I apologize for not being who you needed me to be
I hope you realize - I hope you realize I think about you all the time
I spent half my life - I spent half my life trying to let it go
Every time I get close - Every time I get close the anger comes creeping back up
Like a splinter down in my soul and I wonder

Why can I be so petty sometimes?
Even though I hold a grudge
You’re always on my mind
I’m standing three steps from your door
But I’m afraid to step inside
But you’re always on my mind

I think about you all the time [x8]

The anger comes creeping back up
Like a splinter down in my soul and I wonder

Why can I be so petty sometimes?
Even though I hold a grudge
You’re always on my mind
I’m standing three steps from your door
But I’m afraid to step inside
But you’re always on my mind

I’m sorry
Sorry I’m not who you needed me to be

"Defend Protect"
 
In my house and on my street
I feel a movement beneath my feet
Coming closer, it's almost here
A storm is gathering, handcuffs shackling

I won't go easy!
A nation of millions gonna back me up
We'll stand together and speak as one and say
Get your hand out of my pocket now

I am not a child
Don't hold me by the wrist
We don't need your permission
We're just trying to exist
We are not your slaves
We don't owe you shit
You feel that turning tide
But you can't turn with it

For this land I will defend as long as I do occupy
I will protect the ones I love with all the love I have inside
Light a fuse, light a fire - Burn it hotter, burn it higher
Fuck you pig! You'll feel ashamed
You can't stop this ever changing wind

You should know you'll never hold back that wind
No no, it's gonna blow blow blow
This old tired world is coming down and you're going down
You're going down with it

We will not be moved as we throw fuel onto this fire
You feel it burning everywhere - defend protect
And we are all like wind blowing out across this fire
Spreading out to every land - defend protect
And I will not back down and you cannot put out this fire
I belong on any land - defend protect

"Black Out The Sky"
 
Don't you dare try to look away
You burned the sea and torched the sky
You drilled the earth and sucked it dry
You killed the world, you let it die
Don't you dare try to look away

Outside you're a demon, inside you're a ghost
Revered by many, unseen by most
You murder nations with no remorse
Don't you dare try to look away

Don't turn from the damage that you've done
Black out the sky, black out the sun
Twisted faces looking back
They see you have no honor

A prison planet on its knees
Imprisoned people, everyone
We are the dominant disease
Black out the sky, black out the sun

No, don't you dare try to look away

"Traveling"
 
I never liked to wander
Far from my home
But sometimes my bones get restless
Like they're telling me it's time to go
So if you can't reach me
And wonder where I've been
Baby please don't worry
Please just smile for me cos I'm traveling

But you know that you're with me
For every step I take
And I will never walk alone
You're right here with me all the way
And I carry inside me all the love you ever gave
And it keeps me warm at night
Whether I'm close or far away

I never liked to wander
Far from my home
But sometimes my bones get restless
Like they're telling me it's time to go
So if you can't reach me
And wonder where I've been
Baby please don't worry
Please just smile for me cos I'm traveling

Then it happens when the time comes
When I'm lost and all alone
A reminder, a momento
Gotta find my way back home
So I reach out to the unknown
Cos I know you're always there
Always pulling me back to you like a signal in the air

When I leave this body
And I reach the stars
There's no need to worry
Don't cry for me cause I'm traveling
