Sometimes life gets out of hand
Regardless of your best-laid-out plans
You're stranded, alone, and lost
Gotta pay the price; everything has a cost
Clock is ticking; you're running out of time
Make up your mind
These Days pass in the blink of an eye
Make up your mind
Gotta dig deep and keep on pushing
With eyes on the prize, forget what others are doing
I know its a struggle - your world isn't right
And now the day has come to fight those demons inside
I know it's hard, my friend
But you've been burning the candle for too long at both ends
When push comes to shove, and now you're up against death
He's after your last breath
After your last breath
Clock is ticking; you're running out of time
Make up your mind
Getting tired, mistake after mistake
Looks like you've got some choices to make
You know the good times have to come to an end
When can't recall a day without a drink in your hand
And you don't know if you'll ever really quit
And you can't make any commitments
Stop

Money Burns

They got you thinking
You're better off drinking
That Kool-Aid you're sipping
The misinformation...
Has got you believing
It can be deceiving
It's on every evening
And on every station
Like some wayward prophet
Be slinging the product
No value, just vomit, and you bought up all of it
Once you get the go-ahead, you're working 'till you're dead
When will we learn?
Money burns
And when the blood and the sweat and the tears have been shed
When will we learn?
Money Burns
Once you got comfy
With the sum of money
The workload for payment
And totem pole placement
The status defines you
While your boss defiles you
But twice-monthly paychecks will Keep you complacent
You've got to live your life instead, not work until you're dead
When will we learn?
Money burns
When will we learn?
Money burns
They got you thinking
You're better off drinking
That Kool-Aid you're sipping
The misinformation...
It's got you believing
It can be deceiving
It's on every evening
And on every station
There ain't no mistaking
'Cause it can't be taken
Down to the grave with ya, man
Money burns

Welcome to the Wreck
01:07
|

Now it’s too late
You already lost the sleep
Your appetite
Feeling too sick to eat
Nerves are shot
Knees are feeling weak
You know you’re in too deep
Wish you would think before you speak
Don’t scream
Or shout
Or cry
Or pout
Nothing to do about it
Welcome to the wreck
Welcome to the wreck
No way out
When your attitude
Is straight-up trash
And your mouth is writing checks
That your ass can’t cash
It’s a matter of a lack of self-respect
Welcome to the wreck
You’re the architect

24hr Catastrophe

Story's been the same, same for way too long
Just amplified in your face, and it's always on
Push the plan, program; who cares if it's wrong?
Their agenda's getting paid for playing you like a song
Wake up - wake up
Day in, day out, it takes a heavy toll
Wake up - wake up
Their only goal is complete control
A passive casualty distracted by the screen
Just pain and hurt and misery
The only guarantee, another travesty
It's a twenty-four-hour catastrophe
Pumping tragedy into our brains
Make you think everyone else is to blame
News cycle on repeat
Keep you glued to the edge of your seat
Wake up - wake up
Day in, day out, it takes a heavy toll
Wake up - wake up
Their only goal is complete control
Well, can't you see? In This country,
They don't give a fuck about you or me
Better ratings equal more money
It's a twenty-four-hour catastrophe
Never needed any permission
Twist our minds into submission
Numb the way we mourn and grieve
Thirty seconds blasts, not a chance to breathe
Wake up - wake up
You've been hardwired for way too long
Wake up - wake up
Their only goal is complete control
Tearing down your mind from the inside on out
Demolition of your senses, those that you can do without
Just a little by little and a little more each and every day
Got you feeling lousy watching TV ruining your day
Phony smiles at the station - misinformation
Selling lies to divide this nation

Alarm wakes you up
Ringing, time to hit the snooze
And now you're waking up late
To that same old bad news
Monday thru Friday
Leaves you dazed and confused
You ever get the feeling that you're being used?
The daily mundane is there to numb the pain away
And you don't know what you're missing
When you're locked inside a cage
The choices have been made
So how you face the day?
We got that attitude, and you constantly complain
Things won't always go your way
The Action - Reaction
The decision is yours today
The clock keeps on ticking and never will stop
The only time lifetime let's make it nonstop
So give us the strength and the will to survive
THE COURAGE
COMMITMENT
THE PASSION
THE DRIVE
The vision of mind to fight for what is right
Always at arms reach - hatred, anger, and spite
How you handle the situation?
Gonna give it new life or a quick cremation now?
Things ain't always gonna go your way
The Action - Reaction
Things ain't always gonna go your way
The Action - Reaction

Call 'Em Out
02:25

When you hear it
And if you see it
If they don't get it
It's time to set the record straight
No way am I standing by while you run your mouth
Talking shit about no one, you know nothing about
Hard to hear, especially from my family
So listen clear, let's end it here, you big dummy
When you hear it
Call 'em out
And if you see it
Call 'em out
If they don't get it
Call 'em out
Then we must end it
Now's the time to turn the tide; we gotta fight back
Fight, fight, fight
Not gonna stand for any disrespect
No disrespect, no
Stand together side by side, and you'll discover
Alive or dead, we all bleed red, no matter your color
It's time we set the record straight
When you hear it
When you can see it
If they don't get it
We must end it
Call 'em, call 'em out
When you hear it - Call 'em out
When you can see it - Call 'em out
If they don't get it - Call 'em out
We must end it - Call 'em, call 'em out
When you hear it - Call 'em out
When you can see it - Call 'em out
If they don't get it - Call 'em out
We got to - Call 'em, call 'em out
Call 'em out
Call 'em out
Call 'em out
Call 'em, call 'em out...
