Patriot Games
02:49

Came to town with your tribe at your side, steadfast and true to the cause you're obliged
Your wool might be black but you're still just a lamb, being led to the end by an army of rats
The harder you try, the further you fail, and spend another year chasing your tail
You don't know what you're fighting for
Always so proud that you think for yourself, as long as you think just like everyone else
Irrational fears that you're being replaced, break free from oppression that never took place
The higher you climb, the further you fall, then you find your backs against the wall
You don't know what you're fighting for
Cry freedom, there you are, arm in arm against the world
Cry freedom, can't be wrong, as far as you're concerned
Cry freedom, hold the line, farewell to the life you left behind
Cry freedom, there you are, arm in arm against the world
Cry freedom, can't be wrong, as far as you're concerned
Cry freedom, hold the line, farewell to the life you left behind
You don't know what you're fighting for

Hidden Enemy
02:49
|
|||
We all got our hidden enemies
I'm always on the run from you
I speak in confused soliloquy
And blur the fiction and the truth
When I tried to suppress eruption
Man, I tried everything I knew
Moments I mistook for something
Something I believed was true
When I believed in you
If perfection is confused with symmetry
Is time linear or loose?
What is this that we call heavenly?
Our cold convenience masked as truth?
You can't have my deep convictions
Or try to take them all away
Or haunt me with your premonitions
And wait until you hear me say
What I will never say.

Hey Citizen

Hey citizen, sit down for a sec, let me tell you how I'll leave you for dead
I don't care if you're starving and cold, shut your mouth and do what you're told
Hey citizen, back in the line, I swear I'll never leave you behind
We're all in it together, that's what I said, I guess we'll see where we land in the end
This is easy, you're all so naive, watch real close while I lie through my teeth
You all believe everything that you read, and I won't show you anything at all
Hey citizen, don't make a fuss, you can take another kick in the nuts
You gotta get home and stay for a stretch, excuse me though I've got a flight to catch
This is easy, you're all so naive, watch real close while I lie through my teeth
You all believe everything that you read
And it's clear to me that you can't resist, an agitating two faced hypocrite
Don't speak to us like you've got any right, we've got blood to bleed, and mouths to feed, and hearts filled up with spite
So when we push back, you'll jump on that, and shed some tears for show, I'm still surprised to see how low you can go
Hey citizen I'm at it again, I can smile like a trusty old friend
Never walk the talk that I'm giving you now, always get my way let me show you how
Hey citizen I swear I can change, I'll shout it loud while I stand on this stage
Give me your vote, I'll shield you from the rain, 'til the battle's been won, then it's more of the same
This is easy, you're all so naive, watch real close while I lie through my teeth
You all believe everything that you read
And it's clear to me that you can't resist, an agitating two faced hypocrite
Don't speak to us like you've got any right, we've got blood to bleed, and mouths to feed, and hearts filled up with spite
So when we push back, you'll jump on that, and shed some tears for show, I'm still surprised to see how low you can go
There's no way to explain why we put you in power, can't amend the past, but we'll fix it up now
Made some mistakes, but now you're exposed
We were ready for life on the open road, and should have known that we couldn't count on a Ford
Don't speak to us like you've got any right, we've got blood to bleed, and mouths to feed, and hearts filled up with spite
So when we push back, you'll jump on that, and shed some tears for show, I'm still surprised to see how low you can go

My Fire Inside
02:39
|
|||
Born and raised in a cold government town
The old generic story told
Sparks ignite and felt the rush from deep inside
Redemption comes into the fold
You were young and hard then you got broken
You never lost the fire inside
And all your dreams of endless summers
And open roads will never die
They will never die
Trying times along such necessary lines
Battle scars and things you owned
Broken dreams and thoughts of giving up entirely
The price that's paid on growing old
You were young and hard then you got broken
You never lost the fire inside
And all your dreams of endless summers
And open roads will never die
I will never die
