Why can't they leave us alone, I've Given All that I got Where am I supposed to go, Cause I got no where to go Man something here's got to change, Everything Here is the same God come and bring us some rain we need it bad, Wash All this wicked away I'm Ready to Call this a day Take my troubles and dump them all Keep my hands in the clouds while I pray For better days that are on their way Man something here's got to change, everyone's looking the same Depressing everyday what a drag, they've come to take me away to my little white room with a white suit coming into view buckle that snap what we're going to do shock therapy man I'm not aware of these techniques to protect me I'm Ready to Call this a day Take my troubles and dump them all Keep my hands in the clouds while I pray For better days that are on their way Got to make a new face cops on the case man I got to race to the finish you know I'm not going to waste. Put the petal to the metal the kettle is on the boil never settle level out in this incredible world. Its more than you know, deeper than it shows. Open up that head dive in the deep end. Why can't they leave us alone, I've given all that I got. Where am I supposed to go, cause I got no where to go.

Take a look at the evidence, follow the money spent We’re not victims of circumstance the fire’s at all our backs Thievery’s run rampant costs and its ripping the house apart They call it safety; I call this a bad dream. Stand up, keep speaking your mind, they can’t get us all if we can shed some light. Dear lord we’re the Calvary call, we’ll give them hell before they're after us all. We’re corporate contraband, bar coded our hands So scan my liberty to see if I comply And if I’m making waves then toss me to the squids I’m getting heavy. In my concrete shoes I sure do rock the boat. Stand up, keep speaking your mind, they can’t get us all if we can shed some light. Dear lord we’re the Calvary call, we’ll give them hell before they're after us all. When we hear…. Officer the cuffs are hurting me, I never agreed to this policy. I know my rights and I respectfully decline, no I’m not standing in line Over medicated, over stimulated we’re under arrest. Under educated constant intimidation so we’re under control. Officer the cuffs are hurting me, I never agreed to this policy. I know my rights and I respectfully decline, no I’m not standing in line

Up At Dawn 04:58
I’m up at dawn out on fire love; it almost brings me to tears I’ve been out here for years lord, my adversaries be clear That I just came for the kicks lets mix it up man can’t disagree But when the shit hits the fan man don’t come crying and bitching to me When you know all you need is love Then you’ll know, we’re I’m coming from Then you’ll show what you’re capable of Then you’ll know we’re I’m coming from Have I read this I’m wrong, what’s this song left dancing in my head Speaking to my intent I’m hell bent on not being a chimp When you know all you need is love Then you’ll know, we’re I’m coming from Then you’ll show what your capable of Then you’ll know we’re I’m coming from What’s with this hoax it looks like you’re a turning coat Those threads are so loud I think it’s killing my buzz For us all, keep it calm and collected don’t be affected by this noise Like we had a choice at all. When you know all you need is love Then you’ll know, we’re I’m coming from Then you’ll show what your capable of Then you’ll know we’re I’m coming from

Ivory 04:06
You look quite stunning tonight Ivory that sparkles and shines My princess you’ve crowned my interest We’ll dance and answer the questions of love Adventures that we’re both dreaming about Please baby you’ve got to believe in me Please, we make a hell of a team indeed We’re an exceptional pair of thieves We’ll bring this world to its knees We’ll disagree and that’s fine Happens from time to time As I extend my arms and rewind Considerations a cooling calm But that pesky pride keeps pushing us around Please baby you’ve got to believe in me Please, we make a hell of a team indeed We’re an exceptional pair of thieves We’ll bring this world to its knees We’re two peas in a Pod we stay cramped up in these odds Rolling on top of each other’s personal thoughts We need time apart to spread out wings and depart Individuals caught out in this circular saw Two lives that share each other’s company Two lines are separate but still intertwined. Please baby you’ve got to believe in me Please, we make a hell of a team indeed We’re an exceptional pair of thieves We’ll bring this world to its knees

Who’ ragging who’s dragging on me baby, what happened to the easy breeze maybe, it’s done checked out for weeks maybe, locked up in a tyranny need a, striptease in this industry baby, like white girls on Halloween baby, but these chains to rough for me baby, too in touch with reality I feel the breakdown inside this compound; Let’s see a little anarchy baby, that’s my speed: Let’s get a grip on this apocalypse. Why all this stressing do we even exist? Ready or not we’ll never ever stop, kicking chaos, anticipation and it’s blowing my top who grabbing and biting on me maybe, those teeth need sharpening maybe, wear down those nails in me maybe, granite to thick for these ladies, shady berating me maybe, targets too plain to see baby, but I’ll dance into the eve maybe, I keep on gingerly I feel the breakdown inside this compound; Let’s see a little anarchy baby, that’s my speed: Let’s get a grip on this apocalypse. Why all this stressing do we even exist? Ready or not we’ll never ever stop, kicking chaos, anticipation and it’s blowing my top They say it’s coming, well I guess they would know Push the agendas flatten us in the steamroller At the Controls, behind curtains deep and wide We find Demons manipulating the disguise This little frequency our eyes perceive as freedom leaves us all in clean up, a planet left to save I speak the reason for our discontent, see through the electric net into the boat were Rockafellas sit They know …. it all comes down to us We know …. call us conspirators
