lyrics

Verse 1 I know I lived too fast I don't regret my past Consumed by rock and roll My life is out of control Looking for the road Take Me out of Here  Ain't gonna say Sorry Verse 2 I'm on a one way ride My eyes are open wide Nihilistic to the core Tell me what is life for Looking for the road horizon I seek Ain't gonna say Sorry Chorus Goodbye letter no one will read it no one care just memories what you found in there      goodbye letter e very word will turn into red just memories what I ever said Verse 3 I bear my soul to you I know my heart is true My life has never slowed I always follow the road    Looking for the end Looking for salvation Ain’t going to say Sorry

Bad Blood on the Blackdowns - Take No Prisoners 07:42
lyrics

Verse 1 Wind drenched, subdued Wine stained eyes but no one's fooled, When you're  done uptight in this county town sounds There's bad blood on the Black downs Pre-Chorus Oooh, this ecstasy   Oooh, this agony Verse 2 The buzzard eyes, so cold and black Worm messiah says there's no turning back, this tension so understated The only thing that I  ever hated Pre-Chorus Oooh, the ecstasy  Oooh, this agony Chorus ---> No hero's ---> No Saviours ---> No Idols ---> No strangers Verse 3 Buckle up my shield of gold The frost is hard and their hearts are cold, well The buzzard stoops and hits the ground Well There's bad blood on the blackdowns Chorus ---> No hero's ---> No Saviours ---> No Idols ---> No strangers (last chorus only) Bring me my shield of gold Bring me my sword of old Show me the ones I hated Exiled and over-rated Face the light or turn away It means nothing to me Waste your breath on a Scavenger God, Eat the fruit of a Judas tree World's burn, in turn, decay to a state of atrophy The dying light I am shrouded at night, Yeah, A scavenger I would be Unleash the dogs, break down the walls Throwback the shades, you'd better run Someone's preaching, don't go away Someone's not going home today Betrayed, take no prisoners Enslaved, take no prisoners Depraved, take no prisoners

Verse 1 Gigantic Robotic We got souls we keep em in out pocket, we got.. Anti Matter, love rays splatter watch them all scatter Verse 2 Hypersonic, post-hypnotic We’re made out of Iron, Isn’t it ironic got Heavy Meta Used to be good, always getting better You’ll always find us at the center of the galaxy Cosmic Surfin on the those giant waves of gravity Deep diving diamond on the event horizon Heavy meta mesmerising, Giant Robots Mobilising Yeah Stand back we’re on the attack One is broken and the other’s cracked We couldn’t put that genie back The stated mission of this endeavour is to keep on pushing The heavy meta

The Letter Bombs again on a dust soak face Retreat to the sweet green embrace No rage no fear, no pain Priviledged words now hold all the power Invective growing by the hour No rage no fear no pain Verse 1 I got your letter, all the things that you’ve been saying The brimstone missile, so accurate indeed Yes I know, you got the military briefing Something we just don’t need Verse 2 The letter came cream envelope and crested Official missive straight from Westminster hall Signed and date your elected representative I don't remember voting for you at all Chorus I know the letters you've been writing The letters you've been writing to me x2 Verse 3 You used the right words, yes this death cult needs destroying Have no illusions, we’re living in fear When will the letter come back and bite you Once step closer, the end is near, the end is near Chorus M8 So tell me how did we all this “kapow” to take control I’m ever so sure she wasn’t leading in no poll Every photo opportunity, hug a puppy till in bleeds And the homeless are still homeless, living on the streets It’s one hundred thousand every brimstone that you fire You say that they are accurate but I say you are a liar So this is my letter back to you Kapow, you gotta to learn to sleep somehow You gotta sleep somehow. Chorus

Verse 1 Rise on up to the new convenience Wake up it's so ingenious Mad men with fucked up faces Psychopaths in tights skirts all hating all the races... but one, they've come, to rule us all It's time to build a wall But I don't want to keep you out One time, let's hear you shout Verse 2 You're a hard man, Mr President Rolling back the years, Dark Age imminent This crowning achievement One true, extinction event So spread the fear, damn the facts I heard you like it like that Opportunities arise Destiny is before our eyes       Chorus We got the opportunity This is Punk rock destiny We are in a state of war Yeah We've seen this shit before What you gonna do when Strummer calls? This is what he trained you for The world's on fire before your eyes Opportunities Arise Verse 3 Fly the flag of your true allegiance Get your daily does of malfeasance Who’s mastered the art of the handshake Why do I feel so awake? Kremlin control tatoo'd on your soul Shovel that shit back in the hole Opportunities arise Apocalypse before our eyes

Verse 1 I don't know, but I was told This kind of thing will never grow old So keep it up and keep it bold 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 Gotta kick that thing right out the door I don't need that shit no more Verse 2 Who you calling fuck nose, fish face All I see is a big disgrace Where's the good ones in this place General Vibes and major pain Two and two inside my brain Listen up for the sweet refrain Chorus Verse 3 1 times 2 times 3 is 6 It's a sweet song when you need a fix No time to breathe, it makes you sick I don't know, but I was told This kind of thing will never grow old So keep it up and keep it bold

Verse 1 We got up-beat tunes and down beat themes Songs about those fascist regimes  Of dictators and corporate greed There’s one you like, don't know what it's called A cover song that we really mauled Some old song we overhauled Chorus We've got 8 more songs and then we're done 8 more songs, then we've got to...  run Verse 2 Time changes, syncopated Double bass drums, complicated Juzza's getting agitated The awesome song, we secretly hate An overly complex middle eight With a nice slow part so you can contemplate Chorus 2 8 more songs, and then we're through We've got 8 more songs here just for... you Middle 8 into Solo Verse 3 4 beats a bar, we don't do no waltzes BPM, no back stage passes It's out last song, we'll cut our losses WE GOT 8 more songs to see you through 8 more songs played just for you 8 more songs good night to you Chorus We've got no more songs, so now we're done No more songs we've got to...  run Last Verse You don't have to go, But we can't stay here Get to the bar and buy us a beer

Weeding For Weed 05:01
lyrics

Weeding for weed Maximum relaxium, cast your net wide I'm a mountain man so scared of heights One billion to one, nine times out of ten The unthinkable happens again and again All of us were asking, is he a savage or a sage When you're weeding for weed, it's not minimum wage, but I'm still getting paid Ridiculously judiciously, wayward troubadour Words are the stories that shape us to the core While our beloved dictators are engaging in... a dick swinging ego contest that no one will win I'm here with the sun and the centipede Winning at life and... weeding for weed Weeding for weed I'll get what you need While I'm weeding for weed Now toke it... Split brain confabulation Frequency illusion Confirmation bias Texas sharp shooter fallacy And I'm Weeding for weed I'll get what you need While I'm weeding for weed
