Bad Enough
Feelin’, send shivers down your spine
Hearin’, the gossip on the grape vine
Breath in, one hit at a time
Healin’, avoid another landslide
How bad do you want it
Is it Bad Enough
How bad do you need it
How bad, not Bad Enough
Fill your, pockets full of silver
Deeper, feel it turn to gold
Calm down, nothing lasts forever
Nothing lasts forever, not ever...
How bad do you want it
Is it Bad Enough
How bad do you need it
How bad, not Bad Enough
Not rough enough, not tough enough
Not loud enough, not fast enough
Not deep enough, not cheap enough
Not cool enough, not hot enough
Olympus
Dig hard, dig deep
In 'n out and underneath
No rest, no sleep
The people cry, the people weep
The wrong, the right
Investigate, don't let them get
Away this time, the truth be told
Read between the lines
The state of fear
Almost done, almost here
So close, so near
Shine a light don't shed a tear
Just hold the line
The daily chore, the daily grind
The truth be told, it will unfold
Just read between the lines
It's a matter of time
Olympus is down
Thorn in the crown
The burning remains
Olympus has fallen
The fools on the hill
Move in for the kill
Freedom in chains
Olympus has fallen down
The left, the right
Can't decide, see eye to eye
By tooth and nail
They will deny, they will prevail
The greed, the hate
Destroy the hope, the welfare state
Can't have what’s mine
I'll keep what’s yours
Read between the lines
It's a matter of time
Olympus is down
Thorn in the crown
The burning remains
Olympus has fallen
The fools on the hill
Move in for the kill
Freedom in chains
Olympus has fallen down
I Feel Your Pain
I Feel Your Pain
Knife in the back
Dig harder and deeper and
Deeper again
Off the beaten track
The rails again
You still remain
Tied up and locked down in chains
I Feel Your Pain
I Feel Your Pain
Like a heart attack
Repeating itself
Again and again
Reaching the point
Of no turning back
With enemies close, friends slip away
The truth of the matter remains
I Feel Your Pain
I Feel Your Pain,
Losing sleep, cutting deep and aching
I Feel Your Pain
Getting old, grabbing hold, again
I Feel Your Pain
Tied like a noose
Too tight and too loose
Cut through my vein
The blood and the pain
The burning remains
The end so close, so far away
Away from the endless rain
I Feel Your Pain
I Feel Your Pain
Losing sleep, cutting deep and aching
I Feel Your Pain
Getting old, grab me hold again
I Feel Your Pain
Holding on, way too long and breaking
I Feel Your Pain
I Feel Your Pain
I Feel Your Pain
Knife in the back
Dig harder and deeper and
Deeper again
Like a heart attack
Repeating itself
Again and again and again
The truth of the matter remains
I Feel Your Pain
I Feel Your Pain
Losing sleep, cutting deep and aching
I Feel Your Pain
Getting old, grabbing hold again
I Feel Your Pain
Holding on, way too long and breaking
I Feel Your Pain
I Feel Your Pain
Sound of Change
The silence here is deafening
Progress kept on hold
Evolution waiting
The new replace the old
The stylus dips the static snaps
The groove it recreates
The rumble and the modulation
As dolby shuts the gate
Hear the sound, all around you
In your ear, hear the Sound of Change
Block the noise, it's beyond you
Listen close, can you hear the
Sound of Change
Digital is deafening
The ones and zeros know
Analog is threatening
To come and steal the show
The vinyl spins one more song
As wow and flutter bleed
Amplitude, phase, frequency
In Hi-Fidelity
Hear the sound, all around
In your ear, hear the Sound of Change
Block the noise, it's beyond you
Listen close, can you hear the
Sound of Change
Turning up the gain
Sound of Change
Compression and sustain
Sound of Change
Think
Wait a minute, gimme a drink
Before I drown, before I sink
Made of stone, it's you know who
Now he bleeds, he bleeds for you
Hang on a minute, I know this place
A court jester, with a dirty face
Feel the hand, steal the kiss
The last laugh is his
Let me Think for myself
There's no way out
Let you Think for yourself
The walls come down
Split second, blink of an eye
Every word's a lie
Lamb to the slaughter, moth to the flame
Hang your head in shame
The Mad Hatter holds the reins
He puts the Queen of Hearts to shame
Believe the lies, ignore the truth
Never trust a fool
Let me Think for myself
There's no way out
Let you Think for yourself
The walls come down
Think
Think for yourself
Brave New World
In the early morning gloom
The anchor spoke too soon
The people held their
Breath in fear, it would appear
What used to be inapt
Is only a matter of fact
Be careful where you
Tread my friend, you might offend
As the past and the present hold out
The future’s in doubt
As the code turns red
And the line goes dead
Visions of a Brave New World
When it's said and done
And the time has come
Living in a Brave New World
As the talent thanks the crowd
He takes his final bow
His ego hits the wall of fame
The echo fades
When there's no more looking back
And the old men can't reflect
If life's a debt worth living for
Worth dying for
As the code turns red and
The line goes dead
Visions of a Brave New World
When it's said and done and
The time has come
Living in a Brave New World
When the fear is gone and
The race is run
Visions of a Brave New World
When all hope is lost
At what price what cost
Visions of a Brave New World
God Only Knows
You preach the day of reckoning
Confess away your sins
Paradise keeps beckoning
But it won't let you in
Bedtime story saviours
Blinded by the light
Moral misbehaviours
Converge in wrong and right
Betrayed and lost inside your soul
The lights are on but no one's home
If you believe, God Only Knows
Practice what you preach
Reap what you sow
The pain you feel, the hope they steal
The lies behind the truth
Won't heal your soul
Reap what you sow
God Only Knows
The silent pain is deafening
The fiction has you sold
Reason always threatening
The testament unfolds
So onward march the soldiers
To fight the 'good' fight
Does it ever make you wonder
Who is wrong and who is right
God Only Knows, reap what you sow
Feel the shame, you feel betrayed
But you can’t let it go
Time
Time slips away
Countdown commencing
Feel your heart beat
Race toward the line
You only hope it goes to overtime
Race against the clock
Time keeper ready
Synchronize your watch
Go to gate, flight delayed
Departure way too late
To change, the road you take
Seize the day, don't let it slip away
It's only a matter of
Time ticking away,
Minute by minute, day by day
Time, seconds away
Takin' it day by day by day
Time flies
When you're having fun
Walk don't run just
Ride out the storm
Before it all comes crashing down
All things must pass
There's no way back
So raise, your glass
To the final act
It's only a matter of
Time, slipping away,
Minute by minute, day by day
Time, seconds away
Takin' it day by day
It's only a matter of time
Only A Fool
Stand up
Stand up and be counted
Break the chain of command
Rise up
Rise against the familiar
The meaningless and the bland
They take whats yours and they take whats mine
Do you wrong each and every time
Hide out behind that bleach white smile
They swear it's the truth, then always deny
And they think they can Fool
Some of the people some of the time
But only a Fool
Can Fool all the people all the time
Give up
Bread and games for the masses
Revolution On Hold
Tied up
Beat down and broken
Only rebels break the mold
Take back your pride, take back the power
Leave it too late, the beast will devour
No time for reflection, no time for debate
Kill the election, tear down the gate
They think they can Fool
Some of the people some of the time
Only a Fool
Can Fool all the people all the time
What a Fool believes a Fool achieves
Grinds all your hope into despair
When a nation holds it’s breath it can't decide
'Cause desperate times
Call for desperate crimes
