1. BRING THE WORLD BACK

When the world is looking for a hero
Time to take the revolution for the street
And we've clocked the madness way past zero
In the numbers we can find the strength we need

The angel he has come to save you
Gonna put the past behind you and take control
See him fight for all we need is justice
We can bring them to their knees with rock'n'roll

It's supply and demand it's all the same
The price you pay is more than you ever gave

[Chorus]
Well I won't stand in the bread line no more
Gonna bring the world back home again
You won't find a memory of me at the door
Gonna bring the world back home again

See the enemy it lies within you
After fighting with your conscience you'll see the truth
Time to break the trends that we created
Why don't you get off your ass and make your move

It's supply and demand it's all the same
The Price you pay is more than you ever gave

[Chorus]


2. HOW CAN I MISS YOU

It's warm inside and you change like the season
And love survives but it stands without reason
There's something wrong and I think it's within my reach
If we took the time, to resolve all the difference
You dropped your guard, and put up no resistance
We'd end the fight, in the comfort of each others arms.

We realize too late we're making mistakes
A tug of war between hearts and someone will break.

It's late at night and you show no emotion
You cast a smile that's not really worth showing
For what it's worth, I'll exchange it with one of my own.
I'm so sick and tired, of the road that we travel
Can't take much more, I'm about to unravel
In parting style we embrace for the very last time.

We realize too late we're making mistakes
A tug of war between hearts and someone will break.

[Chorus]
How can I miss you
If you never go away
We're so together yet so far away
How can I miss you
If you never go away
I say that I love you but you never answer.


3. LONELY BROWN

Lonely brown sitting on a window, where he looks around
Seems like things are never going to go his way
The color around just seemed to leave him through another's hand
Sometimes life's so cruel and it leaves you cold and grey.

Where do the answers lie, for a lonely color left here to die
No one left to blend with, strength has all but left him
Left him without the glory, maybe he could tell a story
He only needs one chance to dance upon the plane.

The painter he stares at the shadowless invention, that he worked so hard
It shined so brilliant but, it lacked a certain need
You see without any brown it just seemed so distant, like a grain of sand
Need an ocean's hand, to help it live and breathe.

You ain't going to find no sympathy, all the way back home
And now you're gonna walk your destiny
You walked the miles for all the years
Now who's gonna sort all the tears

[Chorus]
I don't wanna lose you in the sunlight
You set the world on fire
And if I could just freeze a passing moment
You'd set the world on fire.

Lonely brown, he died on the window, and the world went on
He never fed the fire of hope the painter burned
All the color around melts into wisdom, that we all have
I hope one day that brown can hear his lonely song.

[Chorus]


4. TEENAGE RUNAWAY

Pretty lady rolling down the road
She sang the blues but had the rock'n'roll on
She picked me up fast but she let me down slow
But I'm thinking I knew that all the long
Went to a bistro and I laid a couple back
And who do you think walked through the door
Slithered across the bar and I gazed into her eyes
I think she knew that I'd back for more.

Think of the romance, it's a place you never ventured
You passed it by
Now the ballgame is over and you never had a chance
To try

[Chorus]
Teenage Runaway
It's such a shame
Always trying to give it away
When nobody's paying

Back in school days even then you stole the show
Didn't they eat it up when you were putting it out
Teased more than your hair and the boys all felt ashamed
Headed for the big time in a city of doubt
Fourteen going on forty your face now shows the strain
Your vision of life painted a picture of hate
Innocent impressions are going down in vain
And as soon as I thought you'd quit you're back for more.

Think of the romance, it's a place you never ventured
You passed it by
Now the ballgame is over and you never had a chance
To try

[Chorus]


5. AFTER THE LAUGHTER

You see the dreams that I'm Holding
Tightly gripped within my hands I preserve
So hard you're trying to wonder
What can be so precious you don't deserve
So near you're getting so close now
You just can't grasp it in a rapid decline
You think, you've got it all sewn up
You made the bed you sleep in

[Chorus]
I don't want what you've got
But I know that you want what I'm after
In your drowning pool you command a ship of fools
It's too late now to stop all the hate now, after the laughter

Time is forever on my side
I can spend it anyway that I choose
Eternal fixture in paradise
I passed the test and yes I've paid all my dues
No more living the past now
Once it's ignored it doesn't matter what's said
Too bad, you never did change your luck
Cause nothing matters once you've placed all your bets

[Chorus]


6. I WANNA BE A MILLIONAIRE

Diamonds ring out around your fingers
But I can see right through that false embrace
You've gotta go where money lingers
See money ain't gonna rain down on your parade.

[Chorus]
You know you gotta have a nose for a dollar
And I think I'm gonna breathe in all can
Cause I wanna be a millionaire

Imported steel carries my business
I keep an open mind before I close a sale
Flesh colored merchandise I purchase
Moving people just like pawns but I don't care.

[Chorus]

Your stocks and bonds are no investment
Compare them to a dollar sign and I'll prevail
I think I'll buy you out cause you're so useless
And it's a dog eat dog world and I've got you by the tail.

[Chorus]


7. GRAND THEFT ECSTASY

Private eyes stare in the dark
They're cutting through me
And they're tearing me apart
It's a felony, it's a game of love
But I'll never win
When the pushing comes to shove.

[Chorus]
Grand theft, ecstasy
You're taking my love away from me
Hot writing one night stands
You're holding my heart in your hand

(repeat)

Out on bail, no chains can bind
Into trouble, cause it's all you'll ever find
Helpless you just leave them lost
But the price you're gonna pay
It isn't worth the cost.

[Chorus]


8. LESSONS

Why did you take it all away from me
I've taken more than I can stand
You always thought you'd get the best of me
But I guess I'm not that kind of man

Always something on your mind
Another place, another time

[Chorus]
Time wasted, life's tasted
Bad memories, I just can't erase them
You just keep coming back to haunt me
Once burning now I'm learning
That you really never stop the hurting
Just another lesson that you've taught me.

Why did you take it all away from me
I've been there and back but I want more
I always hoped you were only testing me
But you never let me know the score.

Always something on your mind
Another place, another time

[Chorus]


9. BACK TO YOU

I'm not one to break a promise
But you've broken more than your word
Once loose you take more than given
No regrets to all that you've hurt

You ought to be bound up and tied
For all the tears you never cried
Don't think I could take too much more
Well I can't ignore.

[Chorus]
It all comes back to you
You used to deal with reason now you bend the truth
It all comes back around
All those bleeding hearts that you leaned on once
Are nowhere to be found

Don't get up you're too far gone now
I won't let you in my secret world
Locked into all those bad habits
I got wiser but you never learned.

Still making the same old mistakes
Your heart it bleeds but never breaks
You're caught in a game you can't win
But I won't give in

[Chorus]
Dirty Part
[Chorus]


10. IT DON'T COME EASY

City to city you chase your dreams
It ain't as easy as it seems, to make it in this world
You set them up and you break them down
Traveling salesman we sell our sound forever
We're gonna sell it to you
Cause notin comes easy and nothing's free
You gotta know exactly what you wanna be

It don't come easy

Over and over we sing our song
Rocking and rolling we're all night long discover us
The heads are popping the mood is high
Temperature's rising gonna hit the sky and
You're loving us

Look at me now
I got some gold records
I've even got a couple of plastic ones too.
I ain't got piece of mind though
But I don't care
Cause I've got lots of
(this space for the listener's imagination)
