Take Me
00:57

Please don't think too hard at all
Cos if you leave that's understandable
But would you take me or leave me
Just take me or leave me
Please don't think too hard at all
Cos if you go that's understandable
But would you take me or leave me
Take me or leave me
Cos I don't wanna hang around just (take me or leave me)
Cos I don't wanna play these stupid games
if you think that you should leave
then you should probably go
I won't be mad just
Take me or leave me

Like That

early in the morning
on an empty street
see the fires rise into the skies
when the two sides meet
when it comes so fast
first the smoke and then the gas
stick together and
don’t get left behind
when the police attack
at the barricades
when your eyes are burning
at the barricades
when your friends are running
when you see them coming
at the barricades
when you're scared as shit
when you feel so sick
when you struggle
but you know you really can't resist
when they put you in pain
this is why you trained
when you're ready and you know
you're gonna get through this
you keep your head now
when you feel the cuffs click

Lottery
01:53
|
|||
|
I can't believe that they would
Ever let me play this again
Oh how lovely it would be if I win
Brand new car, all new things
win the lottery

New Division

|
I barely tried today
I just put on my shoes got up and walked away
I don't have much to say
I'm just hoping today will be better than yesterday
The coffee's in my cup
The bowl is loaded up
I feel it creeping up
But I'm still hoping today will be better than yesterday
Cos these things keep coming up
While I'm in bed laying down
Hoping that nobody starts noticing that I stop coming around
Because there's so much in my head
And I'd feel better if I lay at home all alone in my own bed trying to figure out why I can't stop thinking
I've got nothing but time
Coupled with marathons of thoughts lapping my mind
And I know I'm not alone so I'll just wait in line
and just keep hoping today will be better than yesterday

Been Drinking

am i afloat or am i sinking?
been so long since i've been dried
i know you know when i been drinking
try as i try, i try to hide
All the thoughts I've been thinking
sip after sip they're slipping, slipping, slipping slipping am i out of my mind
thought i forgot you
didn't you try to
didn't you try to
didn't you didn't you didn't you didn't you didn't you
Watch the way you point that smile at me
And I can't turn around and walk away
every time is just the same
starts with self-pity and it ends ashamed
once again, i've been drinking and
seems like it's far past time to change
i can always point the blame
even if i can never, never never never remember a name
thought i forgot you
didn't you try to
didn't you try to
didn't you didn't you didn't you didn't you didn't you
Watch the way you point that smile at me
And I can't turn around and walk away
try as i try to hide
it's gonna get wild every once in a while, child
try not lookin so terrified
watch the way you point that smile at me

Boat Money
00:34
|
|||
|
You look at me straight to my face
Tell me that you can’t afford to give me a raise
Cos you just bought a boat
Parked it outside
Hoping I’d comment any time I walk by
And I can’t wait to hear about the day that you’re at sea
and your boat starts to sink
and the only one you see is me
Because I won’t come rescue you
Because I don’t have have health insurance
because? I cannot afford it
So the best of luck to you
I hope you can swim!

The train will be exploding
ITS CALLED SAFE TRACKING

Big Chug
03:01
|

|
don't go talking to the FBI
ask any activist the reason why
Don’t turn your back on the MPD
get a bullet in the head like deonte
Don’t take a deal from the CIA
Democratically elected leaders vanish away
Too late to hide from the NSA
They already hear everything you say
Don’t take a checkpoint from the CBP
When they search a car they always find what they need
knock on the door from an ice agent
take your family away to a texas tent
you see every little g man has got his tricks
and it's too late to learn em by the time the cuffs click
time goes by, you wonder where it went
screaming at the hands of your government
