Keep it all inside You can believe tonight Focus now the time is short Remember now to do the best you can Take it out with a shot to the head You won't believe the feeling Everyone could feel it Could be felt by everyone Like a whirlwind fever Looking out for number one Feed it to keep it alive Be fit for healthy times Take it out with a shot to the head You won't believe the feeling Everyone can feel it Can be felt by everyone Like a whirlwind fever Wait a minute... you're not done Like a storm that's near Like a rage of creation I will know you're here When the sky blocks out the sun When the sky blocks out the sun I will know you're here Looking out for number one

For Everyone 03:38
You're pleasing everyone everyone Everyone is happy Everyone is happy It's squeezing all you got now you're caught It's a monopoly Taking all your money You're nearly on the top, but your not Everybody's laughing 'cause they think you're funny Make faces it's a riot it's a riot Everybody's laughing Everybody's laughing but me You do it for everyone but you You do it for everyone So tired of solo flight every night Time to be a buddy To the fuddy-duddies Lonely is all you know so you go Right down to your skivvies for the nitty gritty And while you're flaring up flaring up When you don't expect it They're running for the exits In, out, and it's a wrap it's a wrap When you make it snappy everybody's happy but you. You do it for everyone but you You do it for everyone You do it for everyone but you You do it for everyone

There's no talking to you When you've made up your mind And everybody's fine But you you must admit You're never prepared When unexpectedly The colors in your head Won't stay inside the lines I'm talking to you You seem out of place That look on your face Could sail a thousand ships You're never aware Of what it should mean And you think that that's the way it has to be It's only for a while It's only for a while It's only for a while That you will feel alone Only for a while Only for a while It's only for a while Say it's a chemical fusion Blame it on a disease Blame it on me Don't blame it on yourself Yeah It's only for a while It's only for a while It's only for a while That you will feel alone Only for a while Only for a while It's only for a while No one can live this life But you so don't be shy No don't just hang around Wake up and smell this sound It's only for a while It's only for a while Only for a while Only for a while It's only for a while

Giveaway 05:04
If you see it Turn the lights off And it will disappear If you hear it Put your hands out To stop the sound And if you buy this Get the pink slip So you believe it But if you lose it You may find it Still unwound But you're lost 'til you're found It's a hotrod For your own god Hallelujah But there's a new crop On the rooftops Looking down On the crowds in the towns Don't break down crack up keep your head And don't let it get to you Don't break up crack down on me then 'Cause I'm gonna come through you Don't try to bust out 'Cause you're gonna get busted Don't you breathe out I know you've gotta breathe sometimes With this cold mouth You try to say something But now you're all out You haven't got more to give away Don't break down crack up keep your head And don't let it get to you Don't break up crack down on me then 'Cause I'm gonna come through you Don't try to bust out 'Cause you're gonna get busted Don't you breathe out I know you've gotta breathe sometimes With this cold mouth You try to say something But now you're all out You haven't got more to give away

I'll never see your better side As long as there are fish to fry Until you understand that we were the ones Then you'll never be ashamed You're ready for the final stand With nothing but your head in hand And underneath your breath you say to yourself That you don't need anyone You know too much You know too much You'll fall from Earth Through the sky to the Sun I know you'll never fill the need For something that can't ever be It's safe to say that every thought in your head Will be said and never done You won't expect the next attack Your life's a cleptomaniac You look away and everything that you have Disappears without a trace You know too much You know too much You'll fall from Earth Through the sky to the Sun To the Sun yeah So now it becomes too much You thought that you had it contained Now everything will blow up in your face again All blow up in your face All blow up in your face All blow up in your face All blow up in your face When are you gonna wake up And give it to us straight up When are you gonna wake up And give it to us straight up When are you gonna wake up And give it to us straight up When are you gonna wake up And give it to us straight up

These ginsu knives These things so nice Get fat get thin Get rich quick But wait There's more But wait There's more Buy now Buy now You won't miss out Buy now Only nineteen ninety five But wait There's more But wait There's more
7.
Smooth ride old hat New shoes on an old cat You make me look like a star One wish it's on me You can have anything you see But I know that it's never enough Take it out with a shot to the head You won't believe the feeling Make a break very fast to the end You won't You won't I've no idea why I overslept through the times When we were on top of the world Take it out with a shot to the head You won't believe the feeling Make a break very fast to the end You won't
8.
Go On 04:11
You're cuffed to the stone While the chains crush your bones What you did and what you took Can be paid back with one look So go on while you stand Rip the flesh from your hands And go on meet the end Get out to begin to begin You were calm you were rough We were quiet while you struck In the end it was said You were cold as the dead but they were wrong To those who let me down I'll be the fires from hell To those who let me down I'll infect every cell So go on while you stand Rip the flesh from your hands And go on meet the end Get out to begin to begin
9.
I Lose 05:12
Built to win every one in five I will run from the finish line So shame on me I lose Yeah shame on me I lose Keeping up that's a piece of cake Falling down is a loser's fate So shame on me I lose Yeah, shame on me I lose Every time I expect to win my ship's coming in I'm holding up my chin but I land on it anyway You know it's a no go when you can't have it all I was in like Flynn Ready to begin But I screwed it up again so What's one more? What's one more? Yeah shame on me I lose Oh shame on my I lose I lose Every time
10.
So Be It 03:57
Now everything is upside down No nothing is the same As it was As it was And now you're whole world is moving on And everybody but you Is on the bus On the bus It takes too much time to justify I sense you need a reason To give blame It's insane just the same And if I forget what you say You know that you can't blame me "cause I don't know Who you are Who you are Anymore If that's how it has to be So be it So be it So be it Oh yeah You're just on the verge of a brand new you So fight the inclination To do right To be good Knew you would And don't you hold out on yourself You owe it to your ego To be right Every time Every time If that's how it has to be So be it So be it So be it That's how it has to be So be it
11.
Too Late 04:43
Hats off to me for communicating that you and I are toast and this is the most I've said in years Even though I'm gone enough to be a stranger I've been waiting in the wings longing for that thing to reappear But I still need affection Though it may not seem so With these rips in the fabric Things seem to move so slow Oh your words are relentless And your face it speaks volumes Let's move on toward the ending Or rewind to the start before it's too late Before it's too late Before it's too late Before it's too late This is all we need ya see to be satiated You could stay or you could go but that would take it's toll on both of us Come dismantle me please and rearrange us No solution will be found I'll be buried in the ground before it's clear That's what I fear But I still need affection Though it may not seem so With these rips in the fabric Things seem to move so slow Oh your words are relentless And your face it speaks volumes So let's get on with the ending Or rewind to the start, before it's too late Before it's too late Before it's too late Before it's too late Before it's too late

The Machine 07:09
We work with dirty hands and walk on dirty feet Oh let us labor for our own 'Cause we are flesh and blood not like your cold cold steel We work against the clock We work against The Machine Yeah We Work against The Machine Yeah We Work against The Machine Give us a glimpse of hope and hammers in our hands and we'll toil to feed our families We'll hammer down the walls that stand between us now We'll work against the clock We'll work against The Machine Yeah We Work against The Machine Yeah We Work against The Machine Yeah We Work against The Machine And though the hour is long and the wage is short these men they break their backs for ones they can't support Now you say break it down and you say pack it up but still We work against the clock We work against The Machine Yeah We Work against The Machine Yeah We Work against The Machine Yeah We Work against The Machine Yeah We Work against The Machine
