1. DISEASE OF MACHINEARY

I must confess I find it difficult to believe in the disease of machinery


2. DANGER IS GO !

Go, go, go!
Go, go, danger is go!
Go, go, go!
Go, go, danger is go!

Painless, hopeless, needless, excess
Fear this, find this, fill this, reject
Build it, burn it, break this down
The helpless only make this sound

Go, go, go!
Go, go, danger is go!
Go, go, go!
Go, go, danger is go!
Come on!

You wanted, you wanted, you wanted danger
You needed, you needed, danger, danger!
You wanted, you wanted, you wanted danger
You needed, you needed, danger, danger!

Go, go, go!
Go, go, danger is go!
Go, go, go!
Go, go, danger is go!

Sickness, quickness, gutless, respect
Fallen, frozen, fashion, reflect
Turn it, twist it, tear this down
The soul-less only make this sound

You wanted, you wanted, you wanted danger
You needed, you needed, danger, danger!
You wanted, you wanted, you wanted danger
You needed, you needed, danger, danger!

Go, go, go!
Go, go, danger is go!
Go, go, go!
Go, go, danger is go!
Go, go, go!
Go, go, danger is go!
Go, go, go!
Go, go, danger is go!

You wanted, you wanted, you wanted danger
You needed, you needed, danger, danger!
You wanted, you wanted, you wanted danger
You needed, you needed, danger, danger!

You wanted, you wanted, you wanted danger
You needed, you needed, danger, danger!
You wanted, you wanted, you wanted danger
You needed, you needed, danger, danger!

Danger! Danger! Danger! Danger!
Danger! Danger! Danger! Danger!


3. BOMBSHELL

[Get up, get up, get up
Get up, get up, get up
Get up, get up, get up
Get up, get up, get up]

Get up, get up, get up, drop the bombshell
Get up, get up, this is outta control
Get up, get up, get up, drop the bombshell
Get up, get up, get gone

Now look who's coming, yeah
Look who's back
Quick drop the bombshell straight to the track
The 21st century killing machine
Burned on the inside
A five headed team

Now I'm not the same, yeah
Cause you're not the same
And you're not the same, yeah
Cause I'm not the same
And we're not the same
Things can never be the same
And we just wanna survive

Get up, get up, get up, drop the bombshell
Get up, get up, this is outta control
Get up, get up, get up, drop the bombshell
Get up, get up, get gone

Get up, get up, get up, drop the bombshell
Get up, get up, this is outta control
Get up, get up, get up, drop the bombshell
Get up, get up, get gone

Now you want to save us
And you want it all
And you want the transmit
Cause you want the call
And you want the one that made the worlds collide
But since that has happened it's grown twice in size

[I'm not the same
No I'm not the same
No I'm not the same
I'm not the same]

Get up, get up, get up, drop the bombshell
Get up, get up, this is outta control
Get up, get up, get up, drop the bombshell
Get up, get up, get gone

Get up, get up, get up, drop the bombshell
Get up, get up, this is outta control
Get up, get up, get up, drop the bombshell
Get up, get up, get gone

Get up, get up
[Drop the bombshell]
Get up, get up
[Drop the bombshell]

Get up, get up, get up, drop the bombshell
Get up, get up, this is outta control
Get up, get up, get up, drop the bombshell
Get up, get up, get gone

[Yeah, everybody drop the bomb
You're not the one who sings the song
Yeah, everybody drop the bomb]

Yeah! Yeah!
[Yeah, everybody drop the bomb
You're not the one who sings the song
Yeah, everybody drop the bomb]

Yeah! Yeah!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Yeah! Yeah!
Yeah! Yeah!


4. MEANING OF LIFE

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait

What's the meaning
You must be dreaming
To want the meaning of life
I heard you screaming
To know the meaning
To know the meaning of life

Yeah!
What's the meaning
You must be dreaming
To want the meaning of life
I heard you screaming
To know the meaning
To know the meaning of life (of life)

You've got radio
Living in stereo
You've got that song that you love
But they're just liars
Their words expire
And then that feeling is gone (gone)

What's the meaning
You must be dreaming
To want the meaning of life
I heard you screaming
To know the meaning
To know the meaning of life (of life)

You've got people
So many people
Walking two steps behind
They come to judge you
Not rise above you
But still they make you feel blind
Still they make you feel blind
Still they make you feel blind

What's the meaning
You must be dreaming
To want the meaning of life
I heard you screaming
To know the meaning
To know the meaning of life (of life)

Delay the decay, but the world keeps moving on
You need to know a little more than that
Your time is up but the world keeps moving on
You need to know a little more that that

What's the meaning
You must be dreaming
To want the meaning of life
I heard you screaming
To know the meaning
To know the meaning of life

Let's go!

Life! Life!
You need to know a little more than that
Life! Life!
You need to know a little more than that
Life! Life!
You need to know a little more than that
You need to know a little more than that

6. END OF EVERYTHING

[The fate of our civilization rest upon the finding of this group, and I say it is definitely doomed]

Yeah
Yeah

What's between the head and the hand
Understand that the world is much smaller than you (yeah)
And when you think you know what you know
Then you find there's something else that you can do (hey, hey)

Tonight's the night, the night that we ride (hey, hey)
Tonight's the night we live or we die (hey, hey)

Cause it's the end of everything, come on, come on (yeah)

7. WHAT THE WORLD DOES

[You can't make it!
You won't break it!]

Right
Tied up, ripped up, stitched up style
Torn from the head to toe
Lied to, cried to, you tried to live
But you're dead and you're good to go
There's always now but the now is gone
And tomorrow is just a dream
Cause all that you see and all that you touch
Is all that you'll ever be

No!
You can't make it, you can't fake it
You can't take what the world does to you
You can't make it, you won't break it
You can't take what the world does!

Stand up, sit down and turn around
Let's see what you're really made of
Take off your face and stay awhile
I'll turn your guts to mud
The sky is blue and the stars are bright
And the grass is always green
But all that you see
And all that you touch is never what is seems

Seem!
You can't make it, you can't fake it
You can't take what the world does to you
You can't make it, you won't break it
You can't take what the world does!

You can't make it, you can't fake it
You can't take what the world does to you
You can't make it, you won't break it
You can't take what the world does!

What - the - world - does!
What - the - world - does!


8. 177-TR? (I'LL TRY)

9. ONE AND ONLY

Yeah! Yeah!
The one and only
Yeah! Yeah!
The only one
Yeah! Yeah!
The one and only
Yeah! Yeah!
To burn the sun

Everybody, this is it
The one and only megatronic super villainous
It seems so simple
You can't survive think it over
Realize it's all the time you've got
Everybody can you see
The one and only, one and only, one and only me

Yeah! Yeah!
The one and only
Yeah! Yeah!
The only one
Yeah! Yeah!
The one and only
Yeah! Yeah!
To burn the sun (sun)

Everybody gather round
Pick yourself and your feet
From off the ground and sink into the system (sink into the system)
To find a world without an end
You come around and back again
To sing the song of truth one last time
It seems so simple, seems so right
But it's mostly just a lie
Am I the only one that knows what this means?

Yeah! Yeah!
The one and only
Yeah! Yeah!
The only one
Yeah! Yeah!
The one and only
Yeah! Yeah!
To burn the sun (sun)

Yeah! Yeah!
The one and only
Yeah! Yeah!
The only one
Yeah! Yeah!
The one and only
Yeah! Yeah!
To burn the sun

Forbidden planet
Forbidden hope
Electric gods a machine or a rope
Earth needs a killer
To burn the sun
Automatically adopted as the one

(Yeah, that's right, that's right)

Everybody understand
I speak the truth
Cause I lie more than any man
Expend expendable
You'll never last
Destroy the now
Cause it's here and it's going fast

Yeah! Yeah!
The one and only
Yeah! Yeah!
The only one
Yeah! Yeah!
The one and only
Yeah! Yeah!
To burn the sun around (round, round)


10. WAKE UP

Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!

Right
Wake up
It's time to go
You better leave now
Wake up

Wake up
It's time to go
You better leave now
Wake up

Take off and go to somewhere else
I'd like to see what would happen to you
Transfix the clock
The past cannot talk
To tell you that this is deadly

One year older
One year meaner
One year uglier
One more reason
One more riot
One more left to go!

Wake up
It's time to go
You better leave now
Wake up

Wake up
It's time to go
You better leave now
Wake up

Wake up
It's time to go
You better leave now
Wake up

Wake up
It's time to go
You better leave now
Wake up

We all came here to witness this
To watch you fall and see nothing new
But I've got some news and this war is on
Destined to take it all

One year older
One year meaner
One year uglier
One more reason
One more riot
One more left to go!

Go!

Don't be afraid of the future
It doesn't include you, it only removes you
Don't be afraid of the future
It doesn't include you, it only removes you

Wake up
It's time to go
You better leave now
Wake up

Wake up
It's time to go
You better leave now
Wake up

Wake up
It's time to go
You better leave now
Wake up

Wake up
It's time to go
You better leave now
Wake up


11. RISE (ALT. MIX)

Desperate and empty and full of the low
High on the meaning of what
Style and song is killing for life
Nothing is all you can cut

A man made machine
Now say what you mean
Sit down and build us a soul

The red is the black and the black is the red
And the world is an empty hole
The earth doesn't want me the sky is to full
My fist is a hammer of air
Now I can destroy what you have got
And act like I really do care

Basic and simple
Let's check out the end
Of sinners and stars and dust
The black is the red and the red is the black
The taste of control is just rust


12. MEGATRONIC

Don't you know
What I've got you always got
Can see right through you
Through the lies and through the trouble
Tricks and check what you are doing
When you're crying in the corner over there you seem pathetic
Yeah now drop this mega bombshell
Cause believe you won't forget it

Don't you know
I am
The Megatronic
Don't you know
I am the one

Don't you know
I am
The Megatronic
Don't you know
I am the one

Don't you know
How I stand up
You're brainless, if you've got one
Wasting it they're here to take us
Now I'm louder than a shotgun
Load it down and don't give up
And put some plastic, steel, and wire
When I rock, I rock the planets
Maybe later I'll retire

Don't you know
I am
The Megatronic
Don't you know
I am the one

Don't you know
I am
The Megatronic
Don't you know
I am the one

Let it go and let it fly
And let it bust into the new world
Let it live or let it die
A message sent it was so wacky
Almost gone and almost gone
And if it's gone it's gone forever
And they're trooping with their training
Because no one does it better

Don't you know
I am
The Megatronic
Don't you know
I am the one

Don't you know
I am
The Megatronic
Don't you know
I am the one (one, one, one)

Don't you know
I am
The Megatronic
Don't you know
I am the one

Don't you know
I am
The Megatronic
Don't you know
I am the one (one, one, one)


13. FUTURE THAT NEVER WAS

[Have you nothing to contribute? Have you nothing to contribute? Have you nothing to contribute to a discussion on which depends the world civilization, perhaps… perhaps even our very existence?]

I know everything is never much
But the sound of the sound you heard was serious
So take back everything you ever got
Cause this is the future that
That never was

Right
That's right
[I never would have imagined it would be anything like this]
Right
[I never would have imagined it would be anything like this]

The page has turned around from what it was
So maybe I'll hate you now just because
The burden is tiresome and has become
The same as the future that
That never was

Right
That's right
[I never would have imagined it would be anything like this]
Right
[I never would have imagined it would be anything like this]

The dream that you dreamed about
It never came
Step back and look around
Now who's to blame
Your voice is weaker now
It's just a buzz
That sounds like the future that
That never was
