Down By Law


Bullets:

Well we're out tonight
Had another fight
Let's pour another round
You can't win
If you forget to grin
So get up off the ground
Nearly broke
That's no joke
Let's spend it while we can
Life is tough, but so are we
So take it like a man
Into the night
Dead end streets in the pouring rain
Into the night
Bottoms up, you'll feel no pain
Well she said "you're just a silly boy
"I've heard that song before"
Played the part with a broken heart
And then I walked right out the door
Don't know where I'm going
Don't know where I've been
Looking for direction
Gonna find it with my friends
Into the night
Dead end streets in the pouring rain
Into the night
Bottoms up, you'll feel no pain
There's no turning back tonight
There's no turning back
Tonight
We're bullets tonight
Loaded bullets tonight
Woah
There's no turning back
Woah
There's no turning back
Woah
There's no turning back
Woah
There's no turning back
Tonight

Nothing:

Nothing, nothing
In the world could mean as much to me as you
Something, something
That you said to me, it makes me think we’re through
I’m always thinking of the way it was before
You’re always drinking and you head on out the door
Put out the fire
And walk away
Burning, burning
From the inside out, I think I’m gonna crash
Nothing, nothing
In the world is ever really meant to last
Yearning for a future
But I think I’m living too much in the past
We say we stay
You’re all about the white wine and the cash
You’re not the person I thought that you could be
I’m not the worst one, just son of anarchy
Put out the fire
And walk away
It’s a mad house
In my head
Spinning, spinning
Seeing red
We think
Of forever
We try
But it's never
We fight
For the present
We live
In the moment
Strive
Right or wrong
We scream
A different song
Fly
On tainted wings
Strum
On broken strings
Burning, burning
From the inside out, I think I’m gonna crash
Nothing, nothing
In this world is really meant to last
The world is coming, just coming straight at me
I'll take it head-on, just son of anarchy
Put out the fire
And walk away

New Song:

Wake up today
Write a new song
I feel it
Like you're all wrong
We got the old school
Love the old school
We’ll always be old school
And we can progress too
I like to move it, move it
But not forget the past
It’s punk DNA
We’re gonna kick ass
Wake up today
Write a new song
I feel it
Like you're all wrong
You say we should listen
Listen is it? Listen to what sells
That's when I can't stay
Because your method sounds like hell
Too many people pleasing people
Want everything to be the same
Do what you love
The world’s a better place
Walk forward together
Join the human not the rat race
Don’t wanna become strayed
By what your [?]
Here’s a lesson from the heart
If it moves you it’s okay
New song
New song
New song
Called values
I’m not gonna break
Make no mistake
Not gonna break
This is never gonna be fake
Do what you love
The world’s a better place
Walk forward together
Join the human not the rat race
Don’t wanna become strayed
By what your [?]
Here’s a lesson from the heart
If it moves you it’s okay
No apologies
No apologies
No apologies

Popcorn & Coke:

Livin’ on popcorn and coke
They go together, it’s no joke
Try to deny it
But then you try it
It’s not good for you but your taste buds will adore you
Livin’ on popcorn and coke
Stayin’ up too late once again
I should’ve been in bed by ten
But I don’t wanna sleep my life away
John Adams said it, you can sleep in the grave
Stayin’ up too late once again
Why is everything that’s fun and tasty
Going to kill, kill or waste me
I don’t wanna forever if it means no fun
Think I’ll grab a soda, live life on the run
Livin’ on popcorn and coke
Watching Game of Thrones and MadTV
More fun than PBS it seems to me
I like to read good books but Hogan's Heroes's worth a look
Sometimes it's veg-out boob-tube time for me
Watching Game of Thrones and MadTV
Why is everything that’s fun and tasty
Going to kill, kill or waste me
I don’t wanna forever if it means no fun
Think I’ll grab a soda, live life on the run
Livin’ on popcorn and coke
Eatin’ a burger medium rare
Coronary’s coming, I don’t care
It tastes delicious and someone else will do the dishes
It’s all so unhealthy, that’s so unfair
Eatin’ a burger medium rare
Why is everything that’s fun and tasty
Going to kill, kill or waste me
I don’t wanna forever if it means no fun
Think I’ll grab a soda, live life on the run
Livin’ on popcorn and coke
Health sucks, health sucks, health sucks, health sucks
I don't want another fuckin' salad!
Yeah!

Knock This Town:

Just me and a street light, watch the world go rushing by
Cars are racing, people walking, I swim against the tide
I never felt so alive before, I never felt so all alone
This town could be a prison but this town is my home
In this sea of sameness, I don’t feel like the rest
Even if I wanna fit in I know I’d fail the test
But my friends will stick with me tomorrow and today
Through the bad times and the good, through the blue skies and the gray
We might complain, here's where the story will remain
These streets are energy, the night can set you free
When I’m in this place, I’m whoever I wanna be
This is our town
We're gonna knock, knock, knock
Knock this town
We're gonna knock this town again
We're gonna knock, knock, knock
Knock this town
'Til the bitter end
We're gonna knock, knock, knock
Knock this town
'Til we come around again
We're gonna knock, knock, knock
Knock this town
Knock this town, we'll knock this town again
Can’t go to the fancy places, they’ll point us to the door
Can’t afford the high life, we’re too close to fucking poor
But there are places I know where no one ever goes
In this city, in this life I walk a different road
Standin’ beneath the light, we’ll ownn the streets tonight
Drinkin’ in the sounds and sights, knowing that I’m home
Breathin’ in the glow, it’s the only world I know
This is our town
We're gonna knock, knock, knock
Knock this town
We're gonna knock this town again
We're gonna knock, knock, knock
Knock this town
'Til the bitter end
We're gonna knock, knock, knock
Knock this town
'Til we come around again
We're gonna knock, knock, knock
Knock this town
Knock this town, we'll knock this town again
I don’t know what I’m thinkin’ now, it’s a different kind of blue
Everyone is out tonight but I wish I was with you
I’ll stay a little longer, listen to the world go by
I love the woods and fields, it’s the soundtrack of my life
It’s got some flows, then again, some do we owe
We might complain, but here’s where I remain
Giving its strength to me, I never felt so free
This is our town
We're gonna knock, knock, knock
Knock this town
We're gonna knock this town again
We're gonna knock, knock, knock
Knock this town
'Til the bitter end
We're gonna knock, knock, knock
Knock this town
'Til we come around again
We're gonna knock, knock, knock
Knock this town
'Til we come around again
We're gonna knock, knock, knock
Knock this town
We're gonna knock this town again
We're gonna knock, knock, knock
Knock this town
'Til the bitter end
We're gonna knock, knock, knock
Knock this town
'Til we come around again
We're gonna knock, knock, knock
Knock this town
We're gonna knock this town again
We're gonna knock, knock, knock
Knock this town
We're gonna knock this town again
We're gonna knock, knock, knock
Knock this town
'Til the bitter end
We're gonna knock, knock, knock
Knock this town
'Til we come around again
We're gonna knock, knock, knock
Knock this town
'Til we come around again
We're gonna knock, knock, knock
Knock this town

Tiny Answers:

All I want is tiny answers
Just one or two or three
Would really put my mind at ease
All I want is just some answers
It's great to be alive
But knowing why would sure be nice
Knowing why would be so nice
I wake up every day
Feel anxiety
I go to bed at night and think of things I can't be
The skin I'm living in
Does not feel like my own
I hope everybody likes me
But I hope they leave me alone
They can't hate what they don't know
When I try to make decisions
They always turn out wrong
The consequences seem so long
I miss the way things used to be
Nothing seems good to me
Till it's just a memory
Till it's just a memory
A better taste
Resides upon my lips
I feel a life for me is sailing on a different ship
The path I walk
It leaves me unfulfilled
But if I change a thing, I'd be less happy still
Be less happy still
I wake up every day
Feel anxiety
I go to bed at night and think of things I can't be
The skin I'm living in
Does not feel like my own
I hope everybody likes me
But I hope they leave me alone
I hope they leave me alone
I hope they leave me alone
I hope they leave me alone

Face Forward:

I don’t know how or why
It went so wrong
So if I did it over
It wouldn’t take me long
To fall on my face again
And I’m a knight
But you’re the hero
And I don’t wanna go back to zero
Well all those words
You really cared
I was so nervous
But you were never scared
Wish I could say confidence is easy
I was hiding but hoping you could see me
Face forward
Good and bad, the past is gone
Face forward
It took time but it’s time to move on
And so is it only me
Who speaks with such sincerity
But stumbles yet again
Face forward
Good and bad, the past is gone
Face forward
It took time now it’s time to move on
Girl, it’s just easier said than done
When you find it, when you lose, you won
It’s the only thing that'll set me free
But the ghosts of those days keep haunting me
So face forward
Face forward
Face forward
And is it only me
Who speaks with such sincerity
And stumbles yet again
We get so jaded and afraid
To show even a touch of faith
I'm so sick of running in place
Face forward
Good and bad, the past is gone
Face forward
It took time, now it’s time to move on
Face forward

Homicide:

Not gonna take it anymore
Gonna pick myself up off the floor
Now you don’t know what’s in store

Walk the streets so filled with rage
And they tell us to act our age
Better hope it’s just a phase

Misfits United (Step II):

I see
A sea of fools
Lying at your feet
And I know I can't compete
Oooh
I'm feeling
So amused
I swim against the tide
And I know I'm born to lose
Wandering in a daze
Everything is so confused
I'm seeing red and black and blue
And we might make it through
And even if we do
We're misfits united
In spite of all my best intentions, here I am
The loneliest of self-deceivers in the land
Oooh
Don't tell me
That it's almost through
Don't tell me even if it's true
Just tell me what I want from you
And everything is so confused
I'm seeing red and black and blue
And we might make it through
But even if we do
We're misfits united
Misfits united
Calculators click-click-clicking in your eyes
A calculated answer on the other side
Oooh
Oooh
Tell me are the numbers right?
Am I born to lose
Swimming against the tide
Oooh
Everything is so confused
I'm seeing red and black and blue
And we might make it through
But even if we do
We're misfits united

Warriors United (Step III):

Young man adrift in a sea of scream
But he's got hopes, and he's got dreams
Read his history and he knows
With a shot of courage, anything goes
Rebels, let's unite
Raise a toast tonight
Not afraid to fight
For what you know is right
Something he and his brothers know
Better be ready when it's time to go
Shoulder to shoulder or back to back
They've gotten older but they've still got that
Rebels, let's unite
Raise a toast tonight
Not afraid to fight
For what you know is right
When the time is right
When the time is right
Now it's a story they know damn well
When the leaders lead us straight to hell
Warriors united
No matter where or when
Like a shadow in the night
Still believe in wrong and right
In the fray forever
'Til the day we die
This is our song
From shore to shore and sea to sea
Know your rights, know liberty
Warriors united
No matter where or when
Like a shadow in the night
Still believe in wrong and right
In the fray forever
'Til the day we die
This is our song
Know your rights
Know your rights

Like a shadow in the night
Still believe in wrong and right
In the fray forever
'Til the day we die
This is our song

Hup!

Crystals:

Another wall I can't drive through
Another time, I don’t know what to do
I sit in silence once again
I keep your executioner
Until the very end
I can’t see the end of this
But I won't give you another Judas kiss
I try to make it out alive
Your antipathy
I can't deny
Lying awake at night
Lying to myself
And all the fears are crystal clear
The doubt begins to melt
I put it on the shelf
Lying awake at night
Lying to myself
Well all the fears are crystal clear
The doubt begins to melt
I put it on the shelf
This is something sacred and pure
Ruin it with clichés and lies
You’re so pathetic
Push it in judgment
You’re just another narrow mind
Better than vitriol
Don’t fuck up our scene anymore
You want to shut down free minds
I’ll never let you win the war
Lying awake at night
Lying to myself
All the doubt begins to melt
All the fears are crystal clear
I put em on the shelf
Lying awake at night
Lying to myself
Well all the fears are crystal clear
All my doubt begins to melt
I put it on the shelf
I look around, there’s no one here
No smiling face to help my fear
I’m all alone here once again
But I will stay here to the end
I can see the forest for the trees
Breaking out again
I'm on my knees
I can see the forest for the trees
Breaking out again
I'm on my knees
I'm on my knees
I'm on my knees
I'm on my knees

Perpetual Sorrow:

When I heard you were gone
And tried to fake a yawn
Inside my head my thoughts ran red
But it didn’t last too long (I'm feeling wrong now)
Well I heard that you don't care
I hear it everywhere (no, no no, no)
Your life is new and happy too
At least that’s what I hear
Hey, back in the day
I rejected you but still
Ooooh
Been through with you
But pride is such a bitter pill
Well I heard you got around
When I was out downtown
You’re damaged goods for good for now
You never were much good no-how
Well I heard you met your end
I heard it from a friend (no, no no, no)
It made me sad to feel so glad
I guess my heart now too is dead
Hey, back in the day
I rejected you but still
Ooooh
Been through with you
But pride is such a bitter pill
Where does it all begin
Where there's no start, well there's no end
Like a comet in the sky
This tale is long, but has no eyes
Oooh, ooh
Perpetual sorrow, perpetual sorrow
Perpetual sorrow, perpetual sorrow
Perpetual sorrow, perpetual sorrow
Perpetual sorrow, perpetual sorrow
Perpetual sorrow, perpetual sorrow
Perpetual sorrow, perpetual sorrow
Perpetual sorrow, perpetual sorrow
Perpetual sorrow, perpetual sorrow
I didn’t want you when you were around
I hate to hear you’re safe and sound
I don’t want you back, girl
I just want you down

Rebels & Angels:

Here’s to all the kids
Trying to break free of it all
They know the odds are against them
Society destines us to fall
I never want to waste it
I love every taste of it
Life's too short not to see
Apathy is the enemy
A tip of the cap
Here’s to all the rebels and angels
Raise another glass
Gonna stand side by side
Here’s to all the rebels and angels
Shift that motor into drive
And few of us can do it all
But together we make dents
And I always believed it
That’s why were sent
And it’s not gonna be easy
But few good things ever are
Giving image is a luxury
As if that should be the dream
A tip of the cap
Here’s to all the rebels and angels
Raise another glass
Gonna stand side by side
Here’s to all the rebels and angels
Shift that motor into drive
Clenched fist
Against the world
Don’t be afraid of a black eye
We stand
Until we fall
It’s like I’m splashing by
Now there’s no time to waste
The clock is ticking, there’s need of haste
If we’re not careful, the dreams will fade
One foot in life, one foot in the grave
Now there’s no time to waste
The clock is ticking, there’s need of haste
If we’re not careful, the dreams will fade
One foot in life, one foot in the grave
Here’s to all the rebels and angels
Raise another glass
Gonna stand side by side
Here’s to all the rebels and angels
Raise another glass
We’re gonna stand side by side
Here’s to all the rebels and angels
Shift that motor into drive

Champions At Heart:

If life's a book, then tear the pages
Same sad story throughout the ages
Too much misery, hurt and pain
So I’m a bank robber to make some change
Gonna steal from the vault of happiness
Gonna hand it out, put some light in the darkness
Let’s meet where they will never find us
Get a sanctified tattoo to remind us
So this goes out to everyone
Who's ever been out on the run
Well let’s meet at the crossroads of the champions at heart
Now the rulers want complete control
They'll break your spirit and they'll take your soul
Here’s a word of hope from a seasoned fighter
Don’t hand em the rope or let the noose get tighter
Well let’s meet at the crossroads of the champions at heart
We can steal away together beneath a million stars
The first step
Is the hardest
Let’s take on the world or escape in our dreams
Well let’s meet at the crossroads of the champions at heart
We can steal away together beneath a million stars

All In:

The mood is feeling right
In the pit tonight
Fists are in the air
But we don't have a care
The boys are out
And the girls are out
Now let’s give a shout again
It’s not an easy life
It's filled with toil and strife
When we’re here tonight
The future’s looking bright
The boys are out
And the girls are out
Now let’s give a shout again
Feeling strong
Come and sing along
Let’s get back up again
Join the crew, stick together like glue
Have some fun, the night’s just begun
It’s our time, they think it’s a crime
It’s our crew, stick together like glue
Woah, oh
Woah, oh
Woah, oh
Woah, oh
We got lots to say
We say it our own way
From marching off the stage
To songs of joy and rage
The boys are out
And the girls are out
Now let’s give a shout again
Feeling strong
Come and sing along
Let’s get back up again
The boys are out
And the girls are out
Now let’s give a shout again
Feeling strong
Come and sing along
Now let’s get back up again
