It's not that I like the empire You say you hate it a lot But what's the point rebelling if it ain't got a shot? You say there's nothing you can do Your life is submission to those you choose Truth is, you're no longer a rebel at all Rise Above the lies Hate Stop Stop and evaluate You march in time, follow the line Swallow everything they put on your plate Bow and scrape cause you like your master's face Those who won't march get all of your hate You say you're fighting for the truth But you hate all those who don't think like you Your so-called rebellion goes one way Everybody's got a master The question is: is that okay? You've forgotten how to think Well here's the Kool-Aid, take another drink It's not that I like the empire You say you hate it a lot But what's the point rebelling if it ain't got a shot?

I don't care what people say You’re better off when I'm away If I'm the world to you Then the world’s a lonely place, it's true Destiny's a funny thing When it leads you straight into the ground Six feet below the saddest town Can't spend another day knocked down Can't spend another day Well I miss you, do you miss me too? Or are the memories too new? You thought you realized how blue But you never even had a clue Well take the shadows from your eyes And let your conscience realign Ah, ah-ah-ah Hey! I'm standing in the darkest room (So dark) I'll let you turn the lights on soon (On soon) You'll be the only one that (Only one) Hears when I’m done talking to the sky (Talking to the sky) It’ll be a lovely day to die Can't spend another day knocked down I can’t stand another day
It's been some time Since radio silence And yet each song Still tears a paper heart From Elvis to Paul From Hank to Patsy There is nowhere to escape The days of radio pain So with deep affection I wish you pain From shards of broken promise Songs of solace Driving in the rain Each one reminds me of A love that still remains I need music in my life To carry me away Each song just carries me To a hurting memory To a place I don't want to be But radio silence Gives you final victory So with deep affection I wish you pain From shards of broken promise We all still cling So stubbornly To hope that somehow The person who pushed us free Will return So with deep affection I wish you pain From shards of broken promise It's been some time Since radio silence

Here's to the midnight fighters Thick and thin, the midnight fighters We're the tattered story We're the tattooed glory We're the flavor of the year And yesterday is almost here On a mission since '81 Live like a rocker Die like you mean it Living like a smoking gun Live for a reason Life is a season Here's to the midnight fighters Thick and thin, the midnight fighters We're the tattered story We're the tattooed glory We're the flavor of the year And yesterday is almost here A code of honor, a badge of pride They always said We could never win Now the night is close behind And are you proud Of where you've been We built ourselves, and paved a way Lit a torch for another day Midnight fighters here's to you For all you've done, and all you do Everybody said we were wasting our time We didn't listen, we kept on trying On a mission since '81 Live like a rocker Die like you mean it Music is life's smoking gun Live for a reason Life is a season A code of honor, a badge of pride They always said We could never win Now the night is close behind And are you proud Of where you've been
A low light flickers In the tallest tower And enough stands out into the dark Another disappointed hour Thoughts like shooting arrows plummet Another falling star This face is one with care and toil It's a heart that wears a scar (Oh-oh-oh) To the unbelievers (Oh-oh-oh) In a brighter day (Oh-oh-oh) Slings and arrows All around but here we stay Both fools and dragons Along the road ahead But he'd better die in battle Than serenely in his bed Some will live a life of safety Behind the fortress wall But for him it's only momеnts Before he heeds thе next call (Oh-oh-oh) To the unbelievers (Oh-oh-oh) In a brighter day (Oh-oh-oh) Slings and arrows All around but here we stay Both fools and dragons Along the road ahead But he'd better die in battle Than serenely in his bed Some will live a life of safety Behind the fortress wall But for him it's only moments Before he heeds the next call (Oh-oh-oh) To the unbelievers (Oh-oh-oh) In a brighter day (Oh-oh-oh) Slings and arrows All around but here we stay
Try and face sorrow Life can be so bittersweet sometimes I can taste this on my own And I don't know if I should Be the one to carry this torch Your disbelief makes it all to shine I'll always be A street survivor We'll always be Street survivors This is the truth For me and you This is our song Now I don't know All the secrets to success But I do know In moments of freedom We're at our best Music And brotherhood That's the only test I care about It defines the deepest part of me I'll always be A street survivor We'll always be Street survivors This is the truth For me and you This is our song And the bonds we share cannot be broken The notes we sent, the words unspoken All the drives, all the fights All the bands, all the sights This is the soundtrack of our lives Boys and girls, husbands and wives This the soundtrack of our lives This is the light behind our eyes I don't know All the secrets to success But I do know In moments of freedom We're at our best Music And brotherhood That's the only test I care about It defines the deepest part of me I'll always be A street survivor We'll always be Street survivors This is the truth For me and you This is our song
You talk about tolerance You talk about forgiveness But you're the most intolerant one I know You talk about redemption Talk about healing the hatred You’re the most hateful one I know Your faith Is all about conformity Your one way smile Is a mask of deformity This is my dysfunctional family If Christ came to heal the sick Why do you only want to hang out with the well? Hypocrite You won't get there Just a one way trip to hell You want to hear the word But you only preach to the choir That's an arrogance That I don’t desire Your faith Is all about conformity Your one way smile Is a mask of deformity This is my dysfunctional family I wish you well I really do But I can't Believe in you Cause I believe God made us free And even if You don't agree Well I believe in liberty I believe in freedom I don't believe in conformity I don't believe in you If Christ came to heal the sick Why do you only want to hang out with the well? Hypocrite You're building a hell Your faith Is all about conformity Your one way smile Is a mask of deformity This is my, my dysfunctional family Well this is my dysfunctional family
Stare at the mirror What do I see? Another rebel full of victory and defeat This is a roll call Soldiers of soul Fortune and fury It's the only way I know We made it up as we went along Did we change the world or just ourselves And if that’s the case well Is that enough That's enough Life goes on There's bills and thrills and beautiful times we killed So many promises Some kept, some unfulfilled Did we change the world or just ourselves And if that’s the case then Is that enough That's enough Now the walls Are closing in And the walls Are closing in Soldiers of soul Angels of sin When the world was spinning We were slamming Believe in ideas And we're desperate and damning We made it up as we went along This is a race that we chose to run Well I've made mistakes but I fired every bullet From my life gun And the walls Are closing in Now the walls Are closing in Soldiers of soul Angels of sin When the world was spinning We were slamming Believe in ideas And we're desperate and damning This is a race that we chose to run I've made mistakes but I fired every bullet From my life gun Now the walls Are closing in Now the walls Are closing in Now the walls Are closing in Now the walls Are closing in Soldiers of soul Angels of sin
As I walk through This wicked world Searching for light in the darkness of insanity I ask myself Is all hope lost? Is there only pain and hatred and misery? And each time I feel like this inside There's one thing I wanna know What's so funny about peace, love, and understanding? Woah What's so funny about peace, love, and understanding? As I walked on Through troubled times My spirit gets so downhearted Sometimes So where are the strong? And who are the trusted? And where is the harmony, sweet harmony? Cause each time I feel it slipping away It just makes me wanna cry What's so funny about peace, love, and understanding? Woah What's so funny about peace, love, and understanding? So where are the strong? And who are the trusted? And where is the harmony, sweet harmony? Cause each time I feel it slipping away It just makes me wanna cry What's so funny about peace, love, and understanding? Woah What's so funny about peace, love, and understanding? Woah What's so funny about peace, love, and understanding?
