Nightmare 02:15
Welcome all to this nightmare/ The drums are banging, the bass is humming the mics here/ Wanna apologize to those that I might scare/ You like to think happy thoughts I like to write fear/ Hawk and Animal, shoulder pads and face paint/ Tag team legends we're from the city that safe ain't/ Hope you used to us/ Oh how rude of us/ ALLOW US TO REINTRODUCE OURSELVES We are the hard, Y-E to the A-R/ Lets have some fun I invite you all to come take part/ Black and blues broken bones and face scars/ We are the monsters they wanna keep you safe from/ Through all these long hard years/ The 2 of us still standing here/ You can't bring us down, (Yeah) This is a changing of the guard/ War ready you can sense the danger in the bars/ Scarecrows dangle as we hang em' in the yard/ Crack open the ceiling the we're aiming for the stars/ (Yeah) Ready for whatever comes/ You hear that rumbling starting that means you better run/ When that bass gets to rumbling over metal drums/ I hope that you can survive this extinction level bomb/

GO! 02:34
Get up, get ready to go, No time to take time for sake/ Get up get out and get yours, You won't find it standing in one place/ Count down to t-minus blast off/ I'm up and running as soon as they take the latch off/ Revving my engine and red-line on the dash board/ Foot on the ground because... I gotta just get up and go! Get up and go Get up and go Get up and go I gotta just get up and go Tick tick the clock never freezes/ Opportunity's here gol on and seize it/ Open road the time's now achieve it/ The ignition is waiting just stick the key in/ Countdown to t-minus blast-off/ I'm up and running as soon as they take the latch off/ Revving my engine and red-line on the dash board/ Foot on the ground because... I gotta just get up and go! Get up and go Get up and go Get up and go I gotta just get up and go (Yeah) They shot e out of a cannon/ Gotta get to my target can't hit if I'm standing/ No slowing my speed I need every second/ So come on if you going with me in my direction/ Cause I'm ready to leave/ I gotta be in the breeze/ Coe on throw me the keys/ I gotta be in the breeze/ I gotta be in the breeze because... I gotta just get up and go! Get up and go Get up and go Get up and go I gotta just get up and go

Crown 02:20
Check 1,2/ Cannonball off the pontoon/ Pasty slabs of bacon marinating in the suns fumes/ Mr. I aint scared of anything not even bomb plumes/ Has his marbles tested by the unexpected gun BOOM/ Soldiers start to rally/ fro the highest peaks and valleys/ Equipt with roses picked miraculously out of alleys/ To shove into the barrels of their AK-47's/ To shower them with pedals as theme their way to heaven Back on earth archaic death/ Humanity's been laid to rest/ Resulting in the stench of gun powder and decaying flesh/ Stark madness heart filled with blackness/ No longer need to trick the adolescences into saying yes/ War's a theory, let's sit back and just debate it/ While we kill the ones that talk about how fast it escalated/ Look America great news we done made it/ Let's all applaud the carrot colored monster we've created/ Some say he reminds them more of Hitler recreated/ Me, I think he more resembles ape tits we you shave them/ Our darkest hour cup runneth over with tension/ Suicide bombers now second guessing their mission/ (Yeah) The nerve of western arrogance/ To Americans anything's a synonym for terrorist/ Throw em' in the ocean with the flesh eating terrapins/ Then get inside that flag cladded casket to be buried in/ Ashes from the heavens on down to the basement/ Let's all drop nukes after marching 10 paces/ Let's all drop nukes after marching 10 paces/ Let's all drop nukes after marching 10 paces/ Come on Promises you can not keep/ A real pain that runs too deep/ You have wound we've all lost/ You got your crown at any cost/ Real problems you can not solve/ A real shame you can't absolve/ You have won we've all lost/ You got your crown at any cost/ You have won we've all lost/ You got your crown at any cost/

It is insane When your think That it's ok Expecting change From the same Thing again And again Ooooooooooo Again and again Some day There'll come a day When you'll have To face the pain That you've stayed So far away from Ooooooooooo There'll come a day You can’t deny All the lies That you’ve tried To hide behind No longer fly So don’t even try Ooooooooooo Don’t even try Now is the time To stop this Useless fight And finally try to open Your eyes Ooooooooooo Open your eyes You only grow When you know That you don't Know anything So Just let It go Ooooooooooo just let it go

Lean Into It 03:07
Just a loner on the stroll tryna mind my business/ Never needed your blessing care less if you witnessed/ Introverted nature/ Never noticed when they hated/ I was doing mach 80/ Flying by see ya later/ like... Lone wolf holiness at the moon.on a mountain, doesn't matter what the rest of em' say Lean into it (Hey) Never had much fun being part of the norm/ (Hey) I rather take my chances and weather the storm/ Lean into it Ooooooooooh Black swan on a lake/ Not a smile on my face/ I'll go and swim against the wake/ I don't care what the others gotta say/ Introverted nature/ Never noticed when they hated/ I was doing mach 80/ Flying by see ya later/ like... Lone wolf holiness at the moon.on a mountain, doesn't matter what the rest of em' say Lean into it (Hey) Never had much fun being part of the norm/ (Hey) I rather take my chances and weather the storm/ Lean into it Ooooooooooh

Astronaunts 04:15
Just let it settle in/ A revolution has started you better tell a friend/ You are one of the many of the settlement/ A sentient cell of a human element, Lets begin/ You were made in his image/ Tryna find a way out of this maze that you live in/ But your used to being a slave of the system/ Let's take it up notch momma ain't raise a victim (come on) Is it everything that you dreamed of/ Cause it's everything he could dream up? Is it everything that you dreamed of/ Drew a couple lines in the sand to complete us/ And you are insignificant/ and you are my blood music/ And we are astronauts, Exploring through void, And we are parasites, Fresh up out the sludge/ A whole galaxy the he probably views suds/ Jumping from the body and right back to the tub/ You don't know why you do it assume it all out of love/ You were made in his image/ Tryna find a way out of the maze that you live in/ But you used too being a slave to the system/ Lets take it up notch mama ain't raise a victim (come on) Is it everything that you dreamed of/ Cause it's everything he could dream up? Is it everything that you dreamed of/ Drew a couple lines in the sand to complete us/ And you are insignificant/ and you are my blood music/ And we are astronauts, Exploring through void, And we are parasites,
