01. Everybody Ready?!

Everybody ready?
Everybody ready?

I'll be the first in line
The race is on no end is here
I can't be second best
The flags are waving in the air

Feel adrenaline it's burning
When you taste blood
It's just a warning

On your marks!
Get set!
Everybody ready!

On your marks!
Get set!
Everybody ready!

I'll be the first to know
This track is built for showing gold
It ain't no time to turn
The final state is no remorse

Feel adrenaline it's burning
When you taste blood
It's just a warning

On your marks!
Get set!
Everybody ready!

On your marks!
Get set!
Everybody ready!

On your marks!
Get set!
Everybody ready!

On your marks!
Get set!
Everybody ready!

[Solo]

I'll be the first to go
On concrete snow and overload
Ain't got that inner fear
If hell awaits or heaven's near

Feel adrenaline it's burning
Insanity you keep on learning
For every match you break
For every step you take
When you taste blood
It's just a warning!

On your marks!
Get set!
Everybody ready!

On your marks!
Get set!
Everybody ready!

On your marks!
Get set!
Everybody ready!

On your marks!
Get set!
Everybody ready!

02. Earn The Crown

Everytime I hit the streets I'm fast
Like a canonball of gold
Every day I'm travelin' from the past
To fulfill a restless soul

I've been ridin' more than you've been drivin'
It's like a "must go on wheel's"
Anyway it can no longer last
'Cos you know yeah you know

Take a look at us now
Never do turn around, turn around
Take a look at us now
Never do turn around, turn around
- What's with your face?
Making us earn the crown, earn the crown
Take a look at us now
We never do turn

I can remember when I was not this way
Not as bright as I was told
Can't recall what I said yesterday
Something 'bout the perfect role

I've been gamblin' more than you've been playin'
But I keep head above my heels
I'm here, but I'm not here to stay
'Cos you know yeah you know

Take a look at us now
Never do turn around, turn around
Take a look at us now
Never do turn around, turn around
- What's with your face?
Making us earn the crown, earn the crown
Take a look at us now
We never do turn

[Solo]

Every song gets better on the road
Rhythm moving with that sound
Everyone is getting in the mood
Makes no difference, town to town

I've been listening more than you've been hearin'
Just a little price to pay
Being lead astray but I'm not sold
'Cos you know yeah you know

Take a look at us now
Never do turn around, turn around
Take a look at us now
Never do turn around, turn around
- What's with your face?
Making us earn the crown, earn the crown
Take a look at us now
We never do turn
We never do turn

03. A Song For The Outcast

Roses are red
The seed has been spread
Three can keep a secret
If two of them's dead
Blood on their hands
Cut family bands
Not enough life without been
Given the chance

Are we meant to be angels fallin'
Or do we live to survive?
This illusion ain't my way
When everybody is walking out on

On the road to strict perfection
Only the beauty live to tell
This is the source of all the infections
Jaded, but I won't fade out with you

Monsters been fed
Thousand ahead
It's all in your books but has
Never been said
I colour my art
Black for my heart
Running 'til I run no more
I'm back from the start

Are we meant to be angels fallin'
Or do we live to survive?
This illusion ain't my way
When everybody is walking out on

On the road to strict perfection
Only the beauty live to tell
This is the source of all the infections
Jaded, but I won't fade out with you

No I won't fade out with you
Livin' my life love self-destruction
No I won't fade out with you

[Solo]

What is your fear
Invitations are here
Cry a river inside but never
Shed any tears
Me and my saint
You and your taint
Born in the middle
And the story maintain

Are we meant to be angels fallin'
Or do we live to survive?
This illusion ain't my way
When everybody is walking out on

Are we meant to be angels fallin'
Or do we live to survive?
This illusion ain't my way
When everybody is walking out on
Everybody is walking out on

On the road to strict perfection
Only the beauty live to tell
This is the source of all the infections
Jaded, but I won't fade out with...

On the road to strict perfection
Only the beauty live to tell
This is the source of all the infections
Jaded, but I won't fade out with...

04. Minus Celsius

I searched the world around for you
In every corner I see two
Ovations ought to be for me
What makes anybody wanna be

I'm sure you're lookin'
Sure got your hooks in
It's freezing, I'm so cold
You damn right

Minus me, minus you
I think it's all because of
I think it's all because of you!

Minus me, minus you
I think it's all because of
I think it's all because of you!

I care about, now what's his name?
Moral speakin' nor did I choose fame
What in the world took you so long?
The time is dripping, all fluids getting strong

I'm sure you're lookin'
Sure got your hooks in
It's freezing, I'm so cold
You damn right

Minus me, minus you
I think it's all because of
I think it's all because of you!

Minus me, minus you
I think it's all because of
I think it's all because of you!

[Solo]

Minus me, minus you
I think it's all because of
I think it's all because of you!

Minus me, minus you
I think it's all because of
I think it's all because of you!

05. Pigs For Swine

Sit back and put your
Toys aside for a while
It ain't war if that's what you like
Somebody said I'm in for the fight
It ain't mine if that's alright

Ain't trading pigs for swine
Ain't trading pigs for swine

All the suits they stand in line
But all they do is fantasize

Sicker than the first
Got no hunger and no thirst
- It's not workin'
- It ain't working
Thick it's gonna burst
Medication is the curse
- It's not working

Lookout, you're looking
Like the black in the dark
It ain't bright to live on the lie
Somebody said I'm losing my spark
It ain't so, but that's alright

Ain't trading pigs for swine
Ain't trading pigs for swine

All the suits they stand in line
But all they do is fantasize

Sicker than the first
Got no hunger and no thirst
- It's not workin'
- It ain't working
Thick it's gonna burst
Medication is the curse
- It's not working

[Solo]

Only the pigs of the irony
Stealing swines from the enemy
Only the pigs
Only the pigs

All the suits they stand in line
But all they do is fantasize

Sicker than the first
Got no hunger and no thirst
- It's not workin'
- It ain't working
Thick it's gonna burst
Medication is the curse
- It's not working

Sicker than the first
Got no hunger and no thirst
- It's not workin'
- It ain't working
Thick it's gonna burst
Medication is the curse
- It's not working
- It ain't working
- It's not working
- It ain't working

06. One Sound

One sound, one love!

One sound, one love!
Something you should think of
We press charge, you press find
Find out my piece of mind

I love this game
Don't need a headstart anymore
We shove, became
The breakout, talkabout meteor
- So check your head!
We got no distance to the score, man

One sound, one love!
Seismographic fucked up
It's state of art, my state of mind
Just lick my lips and grind

I love this game
Don't need a headstart anymore
We shove, became
The breakout, talkabout meteor
- So check your head!
We got no distance to the score, man

[Solo]

Once you're in you can't get out
The infinite roundabout
- I dare you all

Gimme me one sound, one love
Gimme all it takes
Communication, keep the faith
Blood in vein love in wine
Bite my lip - One sound!

I love this game
Don't need a headstart anymore
We shove, became
The breakout, talkabout meteor
I love this game
Don't need a headstart anymore
We shove, became

One sound, one love!
One sound, one love!

07. Say When

She puts her voicemail in my head
With every girl I see a bed

- C'mon be retarded
- Don't wanna be bothered
When she spills out her problems for me

So here I am
Say when is when
Once again
Three A.M.
Say when is when
Not you again

Women will win men climbing charts
I am the joker in your deck of cards

- C'mon be retarded
- Don't wanna be bothered
When she spills out her problems for me

So here I am
Say when is when
Once again
Three A.M.
Say when is when
Not you again

I think your nickname suits your reputation
They call you miss, I call you ho

She blew my fortune and my fame
With every target a different name

- C'mon be retarded
- I just don't wanna be bothered
When she spills out her problems for me

She spits out her problems
She's plain walkin' trouble

So here I am
Say when is when
Once again
Three A.M.
Say when is when
Not you again

So here I am
Once again
Three A.M.
Say when is when
Not you again

Say when
Say if
Say when

08. Year By Year

All my dreams are haunting me
Nothing seems to be for real
Can people change this world around?
Can people change my life to come?

It's been too many nights of fear
It's been too many days not clear
Can you believe a word they say?
Can you control the righteous way?

I even out my life
I even try to fight my...

War and peace
Goin' round and round
Year by year, am I the only one?

So you think I'm doin' fine
Stealing things
That are not mine
Be careful what you do wish for
You end up losing even more

I even out my life
I even try to fight my...

War and peace
Goin' round and round
Year by year, am I the only one?

Well I fight my...
War and peace
Goin' round and round
Year by year, am I the only one?

Feel bad for you, so sad for you
I'm so done with you, overcome all the
Overnight sensations and my patience
Creates my ghost, yeah my patience creates my

[Solo]

Many men have travelled far
To try it all over from the start
What you are is what you get
There is nothing that you can reset

I even out my life
I even try to fight
You boys just can't resist
Resist what girls won't miss

My war and peace
Goin' round and round
Year by year, am I the only one?

Well I fight my...
War and peace
Goin' round and round
Year by year, am I the only one?

09. Friends

Son of a bitch!

[Mike Monroe, Hanoi Rocks:]
I know a man
back in Japan
Backyard Babies
Is his favorite band

[Joey Ramone, Ramones:]
I got a friend
His name is Ben
He's gone to hell
But they won't let him in

- Cause there is nothing
That touches me the way they do
And all the lies, you've been hearin' baby
They're all true
- Cause there is nothin'
That touches me they way they do
Nothing touches me the way these people do

[Danko Jones:]
I got a friend
Her name is Grace
When we broke up
It put a smile on my face

[Tyla, Dogs D'Amour:]
And there's a girl
That I love
Sadly she resides in
Heaven up above

- Cause there is nothing
That touches me the way they do
And all the lies, you've been hearin' baby
They're all true
- Cause there is nothin'
That touches me they way they do
Nothing touches me the way these people do

Look at all these lonely people
They're born to lose
But they can not die

[Solo]

[Nina Persson, Cardigans:]
I love my friend
My only friend
He doesn't know me
But his word is my command

[Kory Clarke:]
We meet our friends
Down at the bar
Celebrity intoxicated stars

- Cause there is nothing
That touches me the way they do
And all the lies, you've been hearin' baby
They're all true
- Cause there is nothin'
That touches me they way they do
Nothing touches me the way these people do

Nothing touches me the way these people do
Nothing touches me the way these people do
Nothing touches me the way these people do
Nothing touches me the way these people do

10. Be Myself And I

I'm a coward I'm a whore
I'm not a problem to ignore
Guess it all will change someday
I will fight to find a way

I'm a freak and I'm a cunt
I'm not proud of all my stunts
I'm more tired than it seems
But I will fulfill my dreams

I got no feelings
I don't love you
You see, everyday
I'm gonna burn you
You don't need someone
New to break you
Leave while you can
Or I will make you

I am weak and you are strong
Never ask what I'll become
I got reasons that is wrong
No way you can't come along

Never left what I believe
Even though what I received
Thinking evil minds are pure
Someday I'll walk out through that door

I got no feelings
I don't love you
You see, everyday
I'm gonna burn you
You don't need someone
New to break you
Leave while you can
Or I will make you

So you think you can recover
From what you'll discover
I think when you'll become a problem
I will run for cover
I got bad intentions baby
But I got good obsessions now

[Solo]

I got no feelings
I don't love you
You see, everyday
I'm gonna burn you
You don't need someone
New to break you
Leave while you can
Or I will make you

I got no feelings
I don't love you
You see, everyday
I'm gonna burn you
You don't need someone
New to break you
Leave while you can
Or I will make you

11. You Tell Me You Love Me You Lie

When you burn out
There is no doubt
Nobody can hear you whine
So little space
It's in your face
Just draw the line then erase

I'm an armed detonator
A natural born separator
At the price of my time
At the price of my
Motivation too

Only when you tell me
You love me you lie
Only when you tell me
You love me you lie

You're really late
I can not wait
I will not stay for the night
We separate
And then we date
The last page
Terminate

I'm an armed detonator
A natural born separator
At the price of my time
At the price of my
Motivation too

Only when you tell me
You love me you lie
Only when you tell me
You love me you lie

[Solo]

I'm an armed detonator
A natural born separator
At the price of my time
At the price of my
Motivation too

Only when you tell me
You love me you lie
Only when you tell me
You love me you lie

Can't make a promise
Last for a life!

Only when you tell me
You love me you lie
Only when you tell me
You love me you lie

Can't make a promise
Only when you do
Only when you do

13. Shut the Fuck Up

I buy when you're selling out
But the price has never been this high
I don't say what you wanna hear
And my words never been this loud

A white boy whit a blackened eye
And a knuckle ride up, Underground.
I don't die 'cause I don't have time
And my mouth keeps saying.

Song shit the song is a hit
And wee all know what to do
Wrong bit the wrong will fit
And the final countdown to

Shut the fuck up!
Shut the fuck up!
What makes me want to?

Shut the fuck up!
Shut the fuck up!
I will defeat you too

On the right side there was nothin' left
And on the left side there was nothing right
Your head was bigger than your cowboy hat
I'll pick you teeth with my baseball-bat

A slingshot and a bandgrenade
You trying target practise in the dark
You only brag about your dirtydeeds
But your storm's not coming

Song shit the song is a hit
And wee all know what to do
Wrong bit the wrong will fit
And the final countdown to

Shut the fuck up!
Shut the fuck up!
What makes me want to?

Shut the fuck up!
Shut the fuck up!
I will defeat you

I won't mistreat you
I will delete you
Pick any way you want

[Solo]

Shut the fuck up!
Shut the fuck up!
What makes me want to?

Shut the fuck up!
Shut the fuck up!
I will defeat you

Shut the fuck up!
Shut the fuck up!
What makes me want to?

Shut the fuck up!
Shut the fuck up!
I will defeat you to!
