Big Fish (free) 03:41
They'll teach you everything About how to fit in a box Correct your pitch and sing What you is and what your not Let's make it interesting Take away what you got Dragging behind ancient airwaves Time is drifting Peddle fast Now, cut my tether You can't lift me Know what to do what to do When good enough's all they want from you What to say what to say We've come soo far But were still so far away When you find the truth I hope to shit you follow your own We've gotta' build our own damn spaceship Were not gonna' fall Tear down the old stipulations We'll burn em' all Set aside the old vibrations And listen too the song

Bloody Train 03:38
You said I can't roll back time So come inside with me And we'll work it out Ya, I said we'll talk this one out I've heard it's cold out there So come inside with me And we'll work it out Ya, I think we'll fuck this one out I've heard there's wolves in these woods And I want them to eat me Whoa, I said I love you But you'd thrown it all away Whoa, I know I'll miss you And I've missed you everyday This is the first And the last love song That I will ever play I'll be sleeping in the train I'll be drinking in the train I'll be sleeping in the train I'll be bloody in the train Whether it's now or later Whether it's never O I'll always love you For who you used to be I'll always love you For who you really are

Caves 04:02
We're not on either side Let's go out to the caves tonight And wait for them To kill each other Wait for them It'll all be over We're not afraid to die Let's swim out past the waves tonight And wade for them To burn each other Wade for them It'll all be over Cause I'm against positions I'm against the mission I'm against the structure of this fucking war I'm against the media It's something they're feeding ya And who'd do it better Than a couple schooled rich white guys And who'd be more honest Than a couple schooled rich white guys that are right Because I'm up on the earth But I'm down in the clouds I said I'm up on the earth But I'm down in the clouds and I'm drowning them out I said O
4.
Walk Away 02:38
The see-saw is not to blame You can't play Without somebody on the other side of the plank And Mary goes round About the town But at the end of the day She's just a circle on the ground She can't walk away Why can't she walk away They won't let her walk away Why can't she walk away So bow down to what is fake Let's relive all of our mistakes Now, should we stay or should we go We've been thinkin' so long that I don't really know
5.
You’re whispering Is there something wrong I wish that rain Would go back home They all say the world is gonna end I just feel you gotta find your place on it We’ve gotta find our place on it If I stood on a box Would you do it then Hell no I’d be drowning in the closed minded Egyptians and prescriptions The Pharaohs and their documentation Nothing’s gunna stop us and Nothing ever brings us down You’re whispering Is there something wrong I wish that rain Would go back home You’re glistening when your Innocence is gone I wish that rain Would go back home
6.
No matter how hard I try They’re always gunna take it away from me No matter how much we pay We can always fall for free There will always be that hypocrite Just like me So settle your score if you come with me And adhere to your morning smile And adhere to your broken dial Around here you can watch the sun Get thrown into the sea See
7.
Make It Real 03:04
Let it roll down that hill Let it crack Let it spill I’m on the road and you feel all alone Can’t taste my kisses on your telephone I want to leave you But I need you too I’m going to be there I’ll be home soon And we’ll make it real Or drift apart I wanna make it real Don’t let this fall apart I’m on the road… I’ve got my menu And darlin’ you do too I’m going to be there I’ll be home soon
8.
Workin’ for that money But we’re only getting older Gotta pack it up and sell it Tell em it’s a motor It will take you where you want to be No matter who you are And it will come with that guarantee That it will take you really far But Time will only tell So make it what you will I’m getting lost in my brain I’m getting lost in the hour Everything’s just the same Everything’s getting sour
9.
Wake Up 04:03
It’s all here now Cause you’re looking at the end The ignorance and blame to see through Hold them close now Cause you’re looking for a friend You’re looking for something to lean on It’s not over So go and gather them Go and gather them and ask Say Are you living Are you a copy of the scene Are you that picture in the magazine STOP WAIT We’ve got more to delegate JUST GO RUN We think it’s time to live for fun And don’t hold me back Cause I’ll swing And it won’t be nice to meet PLEASE DON’T STRAIN Breathe and take this chance to Flex your brain You people wake up singing This is a song for you You people wake up from dreaming Don’t live in solitude This is a song for you
10.
We all want what we don’t have today Check your other pants Try back next week Because we all want what we don’t have today Guy thinks he has everything A lonely walk with an empty dream Why you gotta be like that Why you gotta be so down Sit down, tell me what I need I need someone to tell me everything Why you gotta be like that Why you gotta be so weird So weird… Because we all want what we don’t have today After years of constant devotion Still hasn’t gained anything Forced to put away his emotion Sews his mouth shut to sing Why you gotta be like that Why you gotta tie it down It’s why you always fear the rejection It’s why there’s no song to your sound Your sound Because we all want what we don’t have today Check your other pants Try back next week Weak
