This Machine Makes the Enemy©
Verse 1
I got one foot on hill and the other on fire
And I don’t know which way I’m supposed to go
Walked the same steps as many before
But it feels like there’s something wrong
I know the higher I’ll get the further I’ll fall
But I don’t know how to start again
“Why am I here?” and “Where am I from?”
Are these questions the means to my end?
8 Bars Instrumental
Verse 2
I try remain hidden from deep dark night
I fear that there’s something I’ve said
Always seems to catch me where ever I go
I fear that it wants me dead.
I know the sunshine will keep me away
From the demons I hold within
But when the night falls and the sirens call
I will eat’th of the fruit of sin
Chorus
Just let me know
Let me know the fires will go out
Just let me hear
Let me hear you say revolution out loud
Just let me know
Let me know the fires will go out
Just let me hear
Let me hear you say revolution out loud
Verse 3
I’m fully automatic and I wont regret it
When the big man shoots you down
This machine kills but the enemy steals
Everything but the sound
“Well, Fuck you and your politicians too
I heard you are all the same”
Then I hear Siren call, “Make my Enemy fall”
But I did not catch your name
Chorus
Just let me know
Let me know the fires will go out
Just let me hear
Let me hear you say revolution out loud
Just let me know
Let me know the fires will go out
Just let me hear
Let me hear you say revolution out loud
Just let me hear you say Revolution Out Loud
Just let me hear you say Revolution Out Loud
Just let me hear you say Revolution Out Loud
Just let me hear you say Revolution Out Loud
Ooh

When you look outside
No one turns to see
The man looking out
The kinda life he leads
But don't you want to know
What life could have been
Oh what a life it could be,
If I wasn't me
Yeah she works the canteen
She believed in god
She has three dumb kids
and yeah they drink a lot
Oh the life she leads,
No it isn't much,
But she has this dream
To meet the man she loves
And he lives in the city
And he has a good job
Never works those late's
Never comes home drunk
And when the kids move out
They would try to see
If they can buy the big house
They'd be, finally, free
Oh, They'd be, finally, free
If I wasn't me would you let me show, the life I want to lead not the life I know
Cause I want to live, I don't want to die, I want to love my days and make love at night
If I wasn't me, would you let me show, the life I want to lead
Not the life I know
If I wasn't me would you let me show, the life I want to lead not the life I know
Cause I want to live, I don't want to die, I want to love my days and make love at night
If I wasn't me, would you let me show, the life I want to lead
Not the life I know
Cause I want to live, I don't want to die, I want to love my days and make love at night
Cause I want to live, I don't want to die, I want to love my days and make love at night
If I wasn't me, would you let me show, the life I want to lead
Not the life I know
Woohoo

Beat Your Drum©
(Verse 1)
Hey little man with your little guitar
Are you going to grow up and be a big, big star?
Little Irish boy and your little Balron,
Are you going to beat your drum (short pause) all the way home?
Big soldier man and your big big gun,
Ask yourself a question, (short pause) what have you done?
I’ve Seen the future looking through a camera lens and it’s Lying, Watching and spying, lying to us all
………………………….
(Bridge)
You were meant to say hello, you can only say goodbye,
It’s just the way you are, that’s all,
And You need to understand, you’re not the only broken man, who Doesn’t want to be another brick in wall
……..…………………
(Chorus)
LET YOU GO ON NOW (x1)
<Instrumental>
(Back to verse)
(Verse 2)
Cause I’ve Seen the future looking through a camera lens and it’s, lying, watching and spying on us, lying to us all
And Is there a way - I can help you - help you somehow?
(Bridge)
You were meant to say hello, you can only say goodbye,
It’s just the way you are, that’s all,
You need to understand, you’re not the only broken man, who {Doesn’t want to be another brick in wall} x2
(Chorus)
LET YOU GO ON NOW … x4
(Verse 3)
I’ve been watching, I’ve been waiting, for you to move on now, and is there a way, I can help you, help you somehow
(Bridge)
You were meant to say hello, you can only say goodbye,
It’s just the way you are, that’s all,
You need to understand, you’re not the only broken man, who {Doesn’t want to be another brick in wall} x3
(Chorus)
Let you go on now… x4
Ooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh
<Outro>

God in Your Own Hands ©
LYRICS:
Intro: [Start Strum Section 1]
Heaven knows we’re on fire again
They dip their head in the river and say
“I can’t breathe cause there is no way”
It’s sad to see they’re in the wrong again
…So you say
Father knew I’d find my feet again
Said it from the very start to end
Don’t remember feeling this far away
I try to live by the feeling you get
[Start Strumming Section2]
Let him know what the siren sold
We’re heading for a very darkened soul
There’s fire at your feet L.A
Their climbing walls of their fears and lows
[Back to Strum Section 1]
Let him know we’re on fire again – are we
Depending on the heathens?
Atteroll and Vicodin
Dreary eyed and bathed in - sin
Oh the serpent calls … Inside you all
[Start Strum Section 3]
May you all on fire atone
Bury you all in the seeds you’ve sewn
I’ll Have you lying on the fire and say
“Save my soul cause I see I’m not right again” <Hold on again>
And The fire engulfs, light fire and see, what have we done? Have we set them free?
Ooooh
[Start Strum Section 4]
Crowd gathers outside their home
With Rope and timber to save their soul
Their sin is in their difference
To be released by man’s scaffold
Crowds gathered outside again
Burning crosses to save their souls
Their colour skin’s too different
So they hung the black man by gods scaffold

MONEY (Just Go…)
Verse 1
Go when we open the door,
Go, we can’t take it anymore
Go, won’t you kindly step aside
Just go, we won’t pay you any mind
Middle 8
Just let it go,
Let it go….
Let it go
Let it go
Verse 2
Go, it’s time to walk the line
Go, Can’t see the signs
It’s time to go
Time to leave this world
It’s time to go
Time to leave us all behind
Middle 8
Just let it go,
Let it go….
Let it go
Let it go
GO WHEN WE OPEN THE DOOR
GO WHEN WE OPEN THE DOOR
CA’T YOU HEAR THE SIGNS OF CHANGE?
GO WHEN WE OPEN THE DOOR
(Repeat Chorus once more)
<Outro>
Just let it go,
Let it go….
Let it go
Let us go

Hero
You miss your mother
Cause you followed your father
Travelling the wasteland
With one another
All the fire and brimstone
Tried to discover
How to defeat him
But he was a warrior
They couldn’t break the heart of
The hero came from hard work
Never had no money
But his brow never furrowed
But they struck to the heart of
The heart of my hero
Who struck back with the sword of
The sword of the common man
The battle was over
They fell into the wasteland
My Father was the victor
And now he is the teacher
Of how to move on…

Stone Cold Man©
Verse 1
How fickle the human mind We don’t see any sign
When hath no reality his actions cross the line
The Voices in head demand the ultimate debt
To be paid in full by the metal emissary of debt
Bridge
The chiming of the bell took him to the church he knew too well
But it only took a second to go back to hell
Chorus
When they found a Stone Man, on the train
Yeah they found a Cold Man, on the train
Verse 2
Arrest your fears young squire for they’ve come to consume
Don’t keep them alive in a feeble hope to resume
The devil will take you by the hand to push the blade
Into the heart of the ‘Simple Man’ who lives by the day
Bridge
The chiming of the bell took him to the church he knew too well
But it only took a second to go back to hell
Chorus
When they found a Stone Man, on the train
Yeah they found a Cold Man, on the train
[Instrumental Build-up)
Outro Verse (Part 1) - <Calm strumming>
Don’t you look at me you crazy motherfucker
And don’t you hold me in contempt
Cause You made Me the Serial Redeemer
So confess your sins and repent
Don’t you look at me you crazy motherfucker
And don’t you hold me in contempt
Cause You made Me the Serial Redeemer
So confess your sins and repent
[Instrumental Build-up)
Outro Verse (Part 2) <Quick, Heavy strumming>
Don’t you look at me you crazy motherfucker
And don’t you hold me in contempt
Cause You made Me the Serial Redeemer
So confess your sins and repent
Don’t you look at me you crazy motherfucker
And don’t you hold me in contempt
Cause You told me it was a sign of a believer
So confess your sins and repent
Just remain still
