1. NEOCON

We are strong
We are right
We won't be pushed aside
We'll go on
We will fight
We will not compromise
We will never lose to you (x4)


2. THE NOOSE

Well our souls are all mistaken in the same misguided way
We all end up forsaken, we're just choosing our own way
The future now incinerates before our very eyes
And leaves us with emptiness of no more tries

Well our visions of glory have spiraled down the drain
The best of our intentions come crashing down in flames
The depths of our despair we are unable to contain
It's shallow living

The noose is falling
And all my friends are crawling
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising
A truth appalling
Our mak'r comes a calling
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising

Well the tracers from yesteryear are burning in the dust
Your bruises are reminders of naivete and trust
You're only feeling stronger cause your body's getting numb
Now I lay you down
Put the coins in your eyes
And blow the candles out

The noose is falling
And all my friends are crawling
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising
A truth appalling
Our mak'r comes a calling
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising

No more!
No more!
Nothing!

No more!
No more!
Ever!
No!
More!


3. LONG WAY HOME

(Hey) I'm driving down a dusty road
(Hey)I've got nowhere to go
(Hey) No place that I can call my own
On and on this road is burning
(Break away) I'm leaving all this crap behind
(Break away) The past is gone the future's blind
(Break away) Don't care how long it takes this time
On and on I'll take the long way home
The long way home (Whoah!)
The long way home (Whoah!)
If it's for me it's on the way home

(Hey) Like fragments of a broken mind
(Hey) I splinter by my own design
(Hey) The search is not a waste of time
On and on this road keeps burning
(Break away) My hands are glued upon the wheel
(Break away) The road ahead is all I feel
(Break away) The only thing left that's real
On and on I'll take this long way home
The long way home (Whoah!)
The long way home (Whoah!)
I will go alone
I will go and find it on my own

What lays ahead you can not find for me

On and on I'll take the long way home
The long way home (Whoah!)
The long way home (Whoah!)
If it's for me it's on the way home (Whoah!)
The long way home (Whoah!)
I'll take the long way home (Whoah-Whoah-oh!)
I will go alone
I will go and find it on my own


4. HIT THAT

The winds of fortune
Don't blow the same
She had to get out
And make a change
She had a kid now
But much too young
Their baby daddy's
Out having fun

He's sayin' 'Now I'm on a roll
With all the girls I know'
His baby mama
She aint so slow
He's sayin' 'Now I'm on a roll
With all the girls I know'
I know you wanna Hit That
I know you wanna Hit That, Hit That

All of the world is getting with i say
Consequences are a lot for me
That's the way
That's the way things go

What was a family
Is now a shell
We're raising kids now
Who raise themselves
Sex is a weapon
It's like a drug
It gets him right into that
Grave that he just dug

She's sayin' 'Now I'm on a run
I'm chasing guys for fun'
My baby daddy
It aint his only one
She's sayin' 'Now I'm on a run
I'm chasing guys for fun'
I know you wanna Hit That
I know you wanna Hit That, Hit That

Hey everybody's getting with i say
Consequences are a right folly
That's the way
That's the way things go

Well then wise up
Broken up, really such a shame
But why not?
Take a chance, everything's a game
And it don't stop
Hooking up, nothing's gonna change

Well, the more he's tryin'
The more he's buyin'

He says 'Now I'm on a roll
With all the girls I know'
His baby mama
Don't need to know
He's sayin' 'Now I'm on a roll
With all the girls I know'
I know you wanna Hit That
I know you wanna Hit That, Hit That

All of the world is getting with i say
Consequences are a right folly
That's the way
That's the way things go


5. RACE AGAINST MYSELF

(I realise)
All I want
All I need
Always lies just out of reach
I've been coming up empty

(I realise)
I ran as fast as I can run
I pushed as hard as anyone
But still there's nothing for me

(And I want)
I've tried as hard as I can
(And I need)
I've taken all I can stand
(And I fall)
But I am running a race
Against myself
Against myself, yeah

(I realise)
Running out, struggle on
Am I sorrow as my song
My whole world is half parted

(I realise)
For my pain I have none
After all is said and done
Now I'm back where I started

(And I want)
I've gone as far as I can
(And I need)
I've taken all I can stand
(And I fall)
But I am running a race
Against myself
Against myself, yeah

(And I want)
I've tried as hard as I can
(And I need)
I've taken all I can stand
(And I fall)
But I am losing the race
Against myself
Against myself, yeah

Against myself


6. (CAN'T GET MY) HEAD AROUND YOU

Deep inside your soul there's a hole you don't wanna see
Every single day what you say makes no sense to me
Even though I try I can't get my head around you

Somewhere in the night there's a light in front of me
Heaven up above with a shove, I beg it's me
Even though I try I fall in the river of you
You've managed to bring me down too

All you're faking (Get Up, Get Up, Get Up, Get Up)
Shows you're aching (Get Up, Get Up, Get Up)

Every single day what you say makes no sense to me
Lettin' you inside, isn't right, don't mess with me
I never really know what's really going on inside you
I can't get my head around you

All you're feeling (Get Up, Get Up, Get Up, Get Up)
Shows you're breathing (Get Up, Get Up, Get Up)

Deep inside your soul there's a hole you don't wanna see
Covering it up like a cut with the likes of me
You know I've really tried, I can't do anymore about you

The cut's getting deeper (Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh)
The hill's getting steeper (Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh)

I guess I'll never know what's really going on inside you
I can't get my head around you
I can't get my head around you
I can't get my head around you
I can't get my head around you


7. THE WORST HANGOVER EVER

Ballroom scene, but the fire underneath
Gonna eat you alive
Gonna bring you to you're knees

Went out drinking late last night
I had a blast
But now the morning light has come
And kicked my ass

I've got the worst hangover ever
I'm crawling to the bathroom again
It hurts so bad that I'm never gonna drink again

And by my seventh shot I was invincible
I would have never thought I'd be this miserable

I've got the worst hangover ever
I'm rolling back and forth on the bad
I'm worked so bad that I'm never gonna drink again

Won't someone just kill me?
Let me out of my misery
I'm making deals with god
I'll do anything

Make it stop please! (x2)

Make it stop please! (x2)

I've got the worst hangover ever
I'm crawling to the bathroom again
It hurts so bad that I'm never gonna drink again

I'll probably never drink again
I may not ever drink again
At least not til next weekend

I'm never gonna drink again


8. NEVER GONNA FIND ME

Whaoooohoooohooooo

On a mission started by my own admission
I will leave you all behind
Bi-direction I create my own protection
The real me you'll never find

Aspirations turn to fear of desperation
Nothens ever good enough for you
Burning inside cause I see theres no tomorrow
I'm only seeing what I want you to

Never gonna find me (x2)
Well, way underneath inside is the real me
I'm always gonna hide, so this is who you'll see
Never gonna find me (x2)
Well, way up deep inside me you havent found me yet
I'm always gonna hide, so this is who you'll get

Whaoooohoooohooooo

On a mission to establish my attrition
You may think that you have won
Your rejection has bought on my introspection
I'll escape it all and run

Accusations may destroy my motivation
I can feel it when you're pushing me
Burn inside cause I see theres no tomorrow
Only I know which me you'll see

Never gonna find me (x2)
Well, way underneath beside me is the real me
I?m always gonna hide it, this is who you?ll see
Never gonna find me (x2)
Well, way underneath beside me you havent found me yet
I'm always gonna hide it, this is who you?ll get

Whaoooohoooohooooo

Break away
Run
Down inside
I've got to push away
Down
I did not choose this
God Dammit!

I don't really now, what I wanna say
I can't afford to throw, god make it go away now
Try to make it through, fuck your decision
I can feel myself but I'm burning up now

Whaoooohoooohooooo (never gonna find me)
Whaoooohoooohooooo (never gonna find me)
Whaoooohoooohooooo (never gonna)
Whaoooohoooohooooo


9. LIGHTNING ROD

I am waiting on a mountaintop
For the moment that the sky will strike
My apologies are forever lost
Soon two ashes in a flash of light

Miles away from me
Hope is fading soon
Gone forever is a waste of time
My intentions like a sweeter room
Only bring to me a fading light

Locked up forever inside
I look to the stars and ask why
Oh, if they could just change my dark heart to feel
All our???
Thrown away

I am waiting like the single bloom
Lost forever in the storm of life
My intentions like a sweeter room
Only bring to me a fading light

Locked up forever inside
I look to the stars and ask why
Oh if they could just show these wounds how to heal

Here I am
My last stand
And I know for all the rising and falling there's nothing to show

Throw me down, throw me down, throw me down...

It's been raining
And I will pay
World must come to me
I am a lightning rod

I am waiting
On a mountaintop
World above me
He will strike me

Locked up forever inside
I look to the stars and ask why
Oh if they could just change my dark heart to feel

All I am
My last stand
And I know for all the rising and falling there's nothing to show


10. SPARE ME THE DETAILS

My girlfriend, my dumb donut
Went up to a party just the other night
But three hours later and seven shots of yager
She was in the bedroom with another guy

And I don't really wanna know
So don't tell me anymore
And I don't really wanna hear
About your feet all up in the air

And well I'm not the one who acted like a hoe
Why must I be the one who has to know?
I'm not the one who messed up big time
So spare me the details if you don't mind

Now I can understand friends who wanna tell me
They think they're gonna help me, open up my eyes
But the play by play makes me wanna lose it
Everytime you do it man, it turns the knife

And I don't really wanna know
So don't tell me anymore
And I don't really wanna hear
About your feet all up in the air

And well I'm not the one who acted like a hoe
Why must I be the one who has to know?
I'm not the one who messed up big time
So spare me the details if you don't mind

Now I don't need to hear about the sounds they were makin'
Every time you can hear about how long it was takin'
Or how the walls they were shakin'

Now lying in bed wallowing in sorrow
Missin' the tommorow that we could of had
Running through my head, over and over
Things I never told her that just made me sad

And it drives me insane sittin with a vision
stuck with that image burned into my brain
And it feels so dumb that I could ever trust her
When someone else fucked her, then walked away

And I don't really wanna know
So don't tell me anymore
And I don't really wanna hear
About her feet all up in the air

And so I'm not the one who acted like a hoe
Why must I be the one who has to know?
I'm not the one who messed up big time
So spare me the details if you don't mind

Cuz I don't wanna know
Don't wanna know
(Spare me the details if you don't mind)
Don't wanna know
(Spare me the details if you don't mind)
Don't wanna know...


11. DA HUI

I won't fuck with Da Hui
I won't fuck with Da Hui
I won't fuck with Da Hui
Because Da Hui will fuck with me

I won't take off on Da Hui
I won't take off on Da Hui
I won't take off on Da Hui
Because Da Hui will fuck with me

A Haole with heart, that's all I'll ever be
Cause I'm not a part of the North Shore society
Stuck on the shoulder, that's where you'll find me
Digging for scraps with the kooks in line!

I won't park next to Da Hui
I won't park next to Da Hui
I won't park next to Da Hui
Because I don't really feel comfortable

A Haole with heart, that's all I'll ever be
Cause I'm not a part of the North Shore royalty
Stuck on the shoulder, I'm not complaining
Digging for scraps, I'm a kook in line!

A Haole with heart, that's all I'll ever be
Cause I'm not a part of the North Shore society
Stuck on the shoulder, that's where you'll find me
Digging for scraps with the kooks in line!

Don't fuck with Da Hui
Don't fuck with Da Hui
Don't fuck with Da Hui
Because Da Hui will fuck with you!


12. WHEN YOU'RE IN PRISON

When you're in prison, don't turn the other way
Keep your back against the wall
When you're in prison, don't turn the other way
Do not bend at all

Oh don't pick up the soap, pick up the soap
It's bad for you

Oh don't pick up the soap, pick up the soap
Someone will be waiting there for you

When you're in prison be sure to stay awake
Always lie upon your back

When you're in prison be sure to stay awake
Keep you from attack

Oh don't be no one's bitch, be no one's bitch
It's bad for you

Oh don't be no one's bitch, be no one's bitch
They won't help you make it through

When you're in prison, don't turn the other way
Follow what I say to do

When you're in prison, don't turn the other way
You can make it through (x3)
