When man began there was no plan
There was no time for wonder
A never-ending fight to make it through the night
Then evil men took up the pen
Said, "We'll control and plunder
'Cause we can make them see the light."
Quick as a breeze, you're on your knees
You're ready to please... you're running
It's a disease; at least it seems that way to me
You learned that we would burn when He returns
But "He" ain't coming
I can't believe what you believe
So whattaya say? Throw them away
Those games you play--they funny
It's what we do not what we say that makes us pay
No matter how you try to buy the lie you hide behind
The truth surrounds you every day
Can't pray it away, can't pray it away

The Terror

Stealing from both sides
Up the north point range
I told the man that I'll never die
'Cause I got this made
I'ma see what I can rustle up
I'm gonna stake my claim
This is bigger than the both of us
It's gonna make my name
Buck just said Preston died
But he's not the one
Bat Haines says otherwise
And now he's on the run
The boys are out to shoot him dead on sight
The Lawson clan be damned
But when they meet you'll see dynamite
And it won't be planned
Hey, lookout! This canyon just got loud
I got a little job to do
But careful what you wish for
You can't take an even break
But if that's what you wanna do...
You jog my memory
And it all comes back
I'm not your enemy
But I could change that
This should make it pretty loud and clear
For another fucking hundred years
If you're tryna have some peace at all
You gotta stand quite tall
Hey, lookout! This canyon just got loud
I got a little job to do
But careful what you wish for
You can't take an even break
But is that what you wanna do?

Tonight we're ready
Tonight we ride
Tonight is gonna be the night
Tonight
Judgment is coming
This won't take long
We'll just be righting what's been wrong
So wrong
Hot death and horror
Calling your name
Dying will be your claim to fame
Get ready, it's time
To send a message to the other side
This one goes out to all the nation
Fair is fair, right's right
We'll be there to set it straight tonight
Inflicting loss and devastation
Down at the station
I'll face my sentence
With no concern
Justice has already been served
We did it, that's right
We got our message to the other side
And it was felt by all the nation
What's fair? What's right?
What's a couple dozen dead that night?
What's life worth if it can't be taken?
Mistrial, dismissed
The Vatican is on the bucket list
Set sights on foreign conflagration...

City of Wind

Fed up with your family at home?
Just take your show on the road
Come down while you're running around
We'll show you violence unbound
We'll take you in but you might not get out
Inside, outside
There's no place you can hide
South side, west side
This city will eat you alive
Downtown
Rude and fast-paced
You'll overpay for the taste
Don't turn your back on the crowd
Ha ha, this is my kind of town
Don't know what you've heard
But it's second to none
Red line, breadline
The weak don't survive
Lakeside, drive-by
This city will eat you alive
Highrise lowlifes in their ivory towers
Street parking is ten bucks an hour
There's a million ways that you could get gone
And the 4th of july lasts all year long
Firepigs concealing their sin
Balls deep in the City of Wind
Walk alone you're pressing your luck
Five on one- it's hard to get up
Best not play games when they say, "What's your ride?"
Old pyle, mag mile
Cruising the drive
Unknowns, sweet home
This city will eat you alive

Street Fight

Looking stupid and feeling mean
You stumble into Mr. Submarine
Downtown they threw you out
Carlos just threw you out
Chow down before you make a scene
Or three
But at your shining best you ain't so bright
And you've been drinking up an appetite
You can't just wait in line
You've got some ax to grind
One side, there's gonna be a fight tonight
Well, alright
It must be late 'cause Ricky's throwing down
(Cocked. locked, and ready to rock)
Let's go out and watch them rolling around
(Chop, chop, they're ready to rock)
Right in the middle of Fullerton
It won't be long till his friends step in
It just got real
Full stop
(They're ready to rock)
There's a reason that you stayed at home
And it ain't 'cause you can hold your own
Good thing you roll so deep
Or you'd get put to sleep
But when they catch you all alone you're owned
Oh no
It must be late 'cause Ricky's throwing down
(Cocked. locked, and ready to rock)
Let's go out and watch them rolling around
(Chop, chop, they're ready to rock)
Kicked off the CTA, big ballin' with the IUK
Shit just got real
Full stop
(They're ready to rock)
Now we see what "double drinking" brings
He's talking shit to the Latin Kings
It just got real
Full stop
(They're ready to rock)

Aim high
Scale the sky
Good luck
Goodbye
Now it's on
You've gone and you've done it
Now it's time to show what you've got
Climb so high
Your eyes on the summit
This is it; ready or not
All your life prepared for this moment
Sacrifice
All of your time
Reach out; the distance in focus
Everything below is behind
Everything you are is on display
This just might be your final day
You set out with great expectations
Cocksure and up to the task
Greatness was there for the taking
But your reach exceeded your grasp
You can see it all from where you stand
And you finally understand...
You'll never get off
You'll never get off this rock
You'll never get off this rock alive
In your mind's eye your life crawls away from you
Your body slows; you struggle for breath
Time flies; your mind on the living
Eyes wide; you're staring at death
Now you're just a bright coat in the snow
You climbed so high to die solo
You'll never get off
You'll never get off this rock
You'll never get off this rock alive
No, you'll never get off
You'll never get off this rock
You'll never get off this rock alive

Who said that life is what you make it?
Who says we get what we deserve?
The fix is in; you can't win
Where you stand it seems such a simple plan:
They'll come to get get you
And then they'll get you
Life lasts as long as you can take it
And I think you've been overserved
You clown
No one is holding you down
It's just tough
And you just can't get up
You seem to step in shit
Everywhere you turn
And I'm afraid consensus cannot be overturned
You wear a look that says you think your friends are lying
But they would all appreciate if you would just stop trying
They dont believe you when you tell them
You're gonna change your life somehow
Guess they figure that if that was even possible
It surely would have changed by now
This world knows everything about you
And it's deciding what to do
You're cracking up
It's too much
You're fucked up
Just give up
They're gonna get you
You seem to step in shit
Everywhere you turn
And I'm afraid consensus cannot be overturned
You wear a look that says you think your friends are lying
But won't you save us all some grief and just stop trying?

Nothing Doing

Run-down and running out
Dead wrong and without doubt
I've seen some shit go down
I've walked on hallowed ground
If I've learned just one thng
I've learned nothing
I've lucked into everything
I cant even play or sing
There's no end to what I can't do
But I'm still worth three of you
If God gives everything
He gave you nothing
All your crying 'bout the myriads you're owed
Some things ain't worth writing down
If you think you'll get yours by backstabbing
Let me show you out
And down
You'll be last and that's okay
Can't see any other way
Don't compare your hand to mine
I'm alright get back in line
I'm still getting mine
And you're still nothing

Midnight

You're in a brutal way
Afraid to end your day
Something's hidden
And forbidding
You can't see it but you can't look away
You've wound up here again
You're helpless to defend
You're bewildered
But it's familiar
Another memory as your torture impends
She won't be denied
You will abide
And you'll know why
Come midnight
Unspoken and unspeakable
Unknown and unknowable
She can take you
She can break you
I let my guard down and she got to me, too
Are you tied to your bed?
Or is it in your head?
She puts the work in
As she lurks in
The darkest places in the shadows of dread
She has arrived
Open your eyes
She'll read your mind
At midnight
She's right beside
You're terrified
You won't survive
Till midnight
She's deep inside
You're out of time
There's no place to hide
It's midnight

Life is harder if you think too much about it
Can't see anything but writing on the wall
Cast your shadow, plant your seeds and sow your legacy
It won't change anything at all
And on your final day you'll look back and say
You spent your whole life trying
It's a heavy thing, you've earned everything
But you're out of time
Seek your fortune, seek your fame, or seek asylum
What you'll find amounts to nothing in the end
Tell yourself it's just your job, your life, a fantasy
Tell yourself to just pretend
And on your final day you'll look back and say
You spent your whole life lying
All your hopes and dreams won't mean anything
When you're out of time
Celebrate your joys if you can even find them
Grab the good things out as life goes racing by
What's the difference if you think you're cutting diamonds?
You can only get so high
And on your final day you'll look back and say
You spent your whole life dying
How it's gonna be ain't no mystery
We run out of time
