2. ONE WITH THE SHOW

The lights go down
I take the stage
Living line by line
Know just what to say

But I never know what it's gonna be
A comedy, tragedy, a mystery

I'll play the fool
I'll play the king
Tonight, I'll play 'em all
There will be no curtain call

On with the show
On with life
On with the dream
I know I'll play it right
On with the show
On with life
If the world is a stage

Then all I've got to say
On with the show

The story's told
It draws you in
You're a star tonight
The show that never ends

You lost your line
Feel the spotlight dim
It's a long, dark fall
The drama just begins

Your star, it fades
The teardrops start to fall
This is the end
Another casting call begins


3. HOW LONG

Stay away from my window
Stay away from my front door
I don't need no company

I live in the darkness
With my misery
And it all belongs to me

I was wrong such a fool
The dreams I have taken
Blame it all on me

How long
Will I be unforgiven?
How long will it be?

How long
'Til a heart becomes unbroken?
It's all that matters to me
How long will it be?

If there's a light in this darkness

Let it shine on me
'Cause this guilt is all I see

In the flash of a moment
My whole world has changed
So many broken dreams

Now I search, in my soul
To find my salvation
Oh, forgive me

Each day goes by
Like a cold and gray December
I close my eyes
The guilt is all I see
For all my life
I will remember
Oh, God forgive me


4. SHINE ON

It's been a while
Still she's got that style
Tonight she's gonna make the scene

It's been years
Since she's done anything
But daycare, kids, and family

Well, now, she smiles in the mirror
Checks out her ass in those
True Religion jeans

Shine on, shine on
Shine on for me
You gotta shine on
Ain't nothing wrong with ya
Shine on for me

She's lookin' hot

Ready to rock
It's all about the attitude

Got her boobs pushed up tight
Oh, she's lookin' just right
Got that bad ass heart-breaker tattoo

Tonight she'll be rockin'
Makes me feel so good
Just to watch her move

Shine on, shine on
Shine on for me
You gotta shine on
You're lookin' good, baby
Shine on for me


5. I WANT YOUR MONEY

You're always thinkin'
Who you'll buy out next
How ya gonna get 'em
To sign on the X

You sit in your chair
Behind closed doors
To find a way to get some more

You don't do anything
For anyone to share
You just want more
Because it's there

I want your money
I don't want your life
I want your money
But I might take your wife
Don't want your car, your house
Your stocks, your bonds, your face
I want your cash, I want your bank
I want your money

You got your fortune and you
Got your fame
You're just a joke, man
You got no shame

Everywhere I look

I see your face
I hear your name,
I think disgrace

You're arrogant
And man, that's a fact
So now it's time
To give some of it back

I want your money
I don't want your life
I want your money
Oh, it'd be so nice
Don't want your car, your house
Your stocks, your bonds, your face
I want your cash, I want your bank
I want your money

Don't want your diamonds
Don't want your watch
Don't want yoour penthouse
Don't want your yacht
DOn't want your airplane
Or yoour beachfront bungalow
I only want one thing
I think you know


6. WILD CHILD

This old heart of mine
Has been hurt before
Never seen the truth
Behind your open door

I can't wait that long
To feel your love coming down
I can't wait that long
I've seen it before and there's nowhere to run

Run away, my wild child
Deep in my heart I know you'll stay
Lay you out an in a while
You will make love to satisfy my need

It's just another morning
I fell awake at dawn
Your body close to mine
In absence will I find

I can't wait that long
To feel your love coming down
I can't wait that long
I've seen it before and there's nowhere to run


7. I'M COMING HOME

9. HOT SHOT

Went down to the wedding hall
My best friend was gettin' hitched
All the girls were dressed to the nines
Man I was gettin' the itch

The joint was jumpin', the band was rockin'
Even the ugly ones looked good
Could've been the romance or the cheap champagne
Oh man, I was goin' insane

Got a hot shot
Gotta unload
Hot shot
Gonna explode
Hot shot
Gotta confess
Oh, baby, gonna be a mess

The band started playin' one of those
Cry your eyes out wedding songs
This was my chance, looking to dance
Well, it didn't take long

She was slip-sliding up and down on me
Felt like a stripper pole
Blue satin dress, gotta confess
Oh, man, I was gonna blow

Got a hot shot
Gotta unload
Hot shot
Gonna explode
Hot shot
Gonna be a mess
Oh, baby, on your party dress

Got a hot shot
Baby, don't say no
Hot shot
Don't wanna do it alone
Hot shot
Gonna be a mess
Don't wanna have to do it by myself

Pretty maids all in a row
One of them gave me the eye
Said, "Hello, how you do,
And will you be my bride?"

She said, "Baby, now just slow down
This is all just a little too soon
Baby, if ya want to skip a step,
You can take me right now on a honeymoon."

Got a hot shot
Gotta unload
Hot shot
Gonna explode
Hot shot
Gonna be a mess
Oh, baby, on your party dress

Got a hot shot
Baby, don't say no
Hot shot
Don't wanna do it alone
Hot shot
Gonna be real soon
Oh, baby, on a honeymoon


10. BLIND PATRIOT

Not black, or white
Who's the enemy to fight
But they're ready-armed, and ready

Wind 'em up, let 'em go
Throw 'em out into the show
Ready-armed and ready

It's so beyond belief
All the horror there to see
With no satisfaction guarantee

Blind patriot
They're the ones you never see
Blind patriot
Being all that they can be
Blind patriot
Pushing back against the fear
Taking on the fight
They're told is right
When the outcome isn't clear
Blind patriot

Not left, or right
No politics to blind the sight
Ready-armed, and ready

In the line of sight
Dropped into an angry fight
Ready-armed and ready

Long fight, ahead to go
Heads up, even though they know
There's no satisfaction guarantee

Blind patriot
Taking on the dirty deeds
Blind patriot
Standing up for you and me
Blind patriot
Just your faithful volunteer
Taking on the fight
They're told is right
When the outcome isn't clear

Blind patriot
They're the ones you never see
Blind patriot
Being all that they can be
Blind patriot
Pushing back against the fear
Taking on the fight
They're told is right
When the outcome isn't clear


11. DON'T BRING ME DOWN

Cyber-troll
With your cap locks on
Such a drag
Hatin' all day long

What'd your mama do to you, boy
To give ya such a fucked up attitude?

Oh, don't bring me down, don't bring me down
Oh, keep comin' round, keep comin' round, now
Oh, don't bring me down, don't bring me down
Oh, just go away

You hate my band
And you hate my name
But you're here every day

Spread your hate like a hurricane
Now, here's your fifteen seconds of fame

Oh, don't bring me down, don't bring me down
Oh, keep comin' round, keep comin' round, now
Oh, don't bring me down, don't bring me down
Oh, just go away

Hey, who the fuck are you?

Oh, don't bring me down, don't bring me down
Oh, keep comin' round, keep comin' round, now
Oh, don't bring me down, don't bring me down
Oh, you're such a drag, keep comin' round, now
Oh, don't bring me down, don't bring me down
Oh, just go away
Just go away


12. GONNA GO BLIND

I was just a boy-back in school
Teacher teachin' me the Golden Rule
Listen to me, boy-now understand
Your whole future lies in your hand (and she was right)

Went to church on a Sunday morn
Preacher preachin' his words of scorn
God bless the child that's got his own
Thought I had nothing 'til I found this bone

Gonna go blind, gonna go blind
'Cause I do it all the time
Gonna go blind, gonna go blind
'Cause I do it all the time

Oh, my daddy, mister fix-it man
Always had his tool in his hand
Said you want it done right, want it done well
Grab your tool, boy, and do it yourself

Gonna go blind, gonna go blind
'Cause I do it all the time
Gonna go blind, gonna go blind
'Cause I do it all the time

Ain't no use in me pretendin'-I can't leave myself alone
Self-abuse is never-ending since I found my magic bone

Asked my mama-go out to play
Said it's cold out, boy, listen what I say
Play with yourself, boy, that's the best way
Play with yourself, you can do it all day

Gonna go blind, gonna go blind
'Cause I do it all the time
Gonna go blind, gonna go blind
'Cause I do it all the time


13. ONE LIFE

I'm gettin' ready for a long lost weekend Stuck in this place for too damn long Already gone, I'm movin' on, rollin'
I've got the power, I've got the speed Don't know 'til I get there Where I'm goin' Don't yoou see
One life, One man Big dreams Got one plan One life One chance To live all I can One life
Life is a river that just keeps movin' You can sit up on the bank and watch it flow I'm jumpin' in, sink or swim, flow river, flow
Sometimes it's fast Sometimes it's slow But I'm gonna ride That river now Everywhere it goes
