Know Your Enemy

I wish I could tell you that everything will be alright
I wish I could tell you that it's worth the fight
I wish I could tell you that everything will be just fine
I wish I could tell you, but that would be a lie
We are all one people, stop fighting over crumbs
Face your real enemy, the sickness of corporate greed
Drop the labels they only divide, only way we'll overcome
Together we'll destroy the hate, shine a light that will burn the state
I wish I could tell you that everything will be alright
I wish I could tell you that it's worth the fight
I wish I could tell you that everything will be just fine
I wish I could tell you, but that would be a lie
We are all one people, stop fighting over crumbs
Face your real enemy, the sickness of corporate greed
Drop the labels they only divide, only way we'll overcome
Together we'll destroy the hate, shine a light that will burn the state
I wish I could tell you that everything will be alright
I wish I could tell you that it's worth the fight
I wish I could tell you that everything will be just fine
I wish I could tell you, but that would be a lie
We are all one people, stop fighting over crumbs
Face your real enemy, the sickness of corporate greed
Drop the labels they only divide, only way we'll overcome
Together we'll destroy the hate, shine a light that will burn the state

Young Love

When I first saw you boy
There was thunder in your eyes
Then I met the softest girl
With one touch I felt your light
Young love gave me life,
Hungry hearts taught me to survive
Too many sweat filled days
And broken nights so hollow
When nothing is ever really yours
Just the time you have borrowed
Your long love gave me life,
Your hungry heart taught me to survive
Such a strange place, unfortunate it's filled with fools
Work your whole life, just so i had food
When the time has come and the rattle shakes your body
Know it's your love that gave me this drive
You spent many sleepless nights
As my band hit the road
You never tore me down
You taught me what it meant to sing
Your young love gave me life
your hungry hearts taught me to survive
Such a strange place, unfortunate it's filled with fools
Work your whole life, just so i had food
When the time has come and the rattle shakes your body
Know it's your love that gave me this drive

The Wolf

Weathered notebooks filled with the stories of my life
All my troubles I'm leaving here tonight
So raise your glasses, raiise them up high
Here's to living like you're about to die
Do you hear the wolf, calling out your name
Embrace your life, throw away the shame
Too many have died without ever living their lives
Hit the road, fuck their wrong or right
I kick my beast to life and put it in the wind
Always running from and to my life of sin
It's hard waiting when you know you have to go
When the wolf calls you have to hit the road
All it takes is a tank of gas and a will to make some dust
Late at night I can't ignore this wanderlust
The future's unwritten, so you better grab a pen
We're making history, let the lesson begin.

Take the Ride

The stars in the sky
They burn out in time
(burn out in time)
Just like you and I
(just like you and I)
But we've got tonight
So let's take a ride
(let's take a ride)
Even if we, we don't survive
(if we don't survive)
we don't survive x 4
Wrong or right
You can live on the edge of a knife
(the edge of a knife)
Just showing up
Is never enough
(never enough)
As the eagle takes flight
We're just a moment in time
(moment in time)
The world is just you and I
(just you and I)
just you and I x 4

Endless Sleep

What's the use in trying with the race already lost
Ignorance is celebrated at such a fucking cost
Turn on the TV, there's violence in the streets
Wake from the endless sleep, we need a fucking change
Sit alone filled with silent rage
turn off my TV, I don"t belong in this age.
Idiots run this place, the defiant mocked at large
We sit alone, well fed slaves, just watch the latest craze
You've got the latest gadget, who cares about the poor
Without the love of fellow man, what's it fucking for
Sit alone filled with silent rage
Turn off my TV, I don't belong in age
What's the use in trying with the race already lost
Ignorance is celebrated at such a fucking cost
Turn on the TV, there's violence in the streets
Wake from the endless sleep, we need a fucking change

Tragedy

I know I'm not good at much
But if you remember I never promised to be
I know I've been fucked up
since that summer you strung that guitar for me
I'm always grateful for these old damn chords
At times they are the best of me
Keeping this hell bound heart
Believing and beating strong enough for me to see
Strong enough for me to see
It's not a tragedy x 4
With time we see the world is broken
Forced moral conditions have perverted life's mystery
We fight hard to keep ours intact
In our drunken deliberate ways
Always grateful for you
For burning down those bridges with me
Love has become a tradition
And revolution stills sounds in this small town in Tennessee
Small town in Tennessee
It's not a tragedy x 4
