Seduced by the war machine
Their lies are sold on the news
Disguised as hope
To seize control
It’s all a show
To keep dropping bombs
It’s all a show
To tease you along
Their tether’s got a hold on me
Few ever know the face
Of who they think they’ve known
These brutes are never not on stage
Costumes are age-old
Not to be believed
Consumed by what’s on a screen
Fools buy the quotes all unproved
Defined by ghosts
You’ll repeat a hoax
It’s all a show
To feign you belong
It’s all a show
To attain applause
Pleasure’s got a hold of me
Our views never break their ways
We’re used then overthrown
Their feuds sever rapports we’ve made
Costumes decay our homes
Costumes are changed for votes
We’re meant to be deceived
We’re due for better and brighter days
But truth's no longer the goal
We’ll fume over aimless hearsay
Costumes make us feel woke
Costumes are all we’re sold
Get out the guillotines

When The Chariot Calls

These same roads
We've been traveling so long
The wind still blows
In the direction of our dawn
But lately
No one seems to see
That in the know
You know nothing at all
And what will you have sold
When the chariot calls
Star-spangled deities
Aren’t what they use to be
But I still believe
There’s something out there for me
But maybe
We’re the only ones who’ve seen
That in the know
You know nothing at all
And what will you have sold
When the chariot calls
The fall of their throne is overdue
Overdue
Overdue
Overdue
Overdue

Bring Out The Sunshine

I don’t know why
I do the things I do
I’ve got the devil by my side
But all I want is you
And he’s working overtime
To get inside my mind
And I’ll stay with you
If you’ll bring out the sunshine
And I’ll wait on you
If you need me in the meantime
And I’ll stay with you
If you'll bring out the sunshine
Please give me a sign
That I can make it through
When everything’s a lie
Can you help me find the truth
In my hour of decline
Don’t let me be denied
And I’ll stay with you
If you’ll bring out the sunshine
And I’ll wait on you
If you need me in the meantime
And I’ll stay with you
If you’ll bring out the sunshine
And I’ll stay with you
If you’ll bring out the sunshine
And I’ll wait on you
If you need me in the meantime
And I’ll stay with you
If you’ll bring out the sunshine
Bring out
Bring out the sunshine
Bring out
Bring out the sunshine
Bring out
Bring out the sunshine
I don’t want to say goodnight
And I don’t want to say goodnight
I don’t want to say goodnight
I don’t want to say good
Night
Goodnight
Goodnight
Night
Goodnight
Goodnight
Na Na Na Na Na

Grant Me Speed

I don’t recognize you since you’ve changed
Don’t want to have to play these games
But I still dream of the way things were those nights
Before we traveled down this road
Before promises were broke
But I’m still chasing a moment lost to time
There’s nothing we can say to erase the pain
It’s still hard to shake the memories that we made
In a better place
I pray that I don’t turn around
I pray I find the strength
I pray that I don’t turn around
Oh Lord, grant me speed
The rights and the wrongs don’t matter now
There’s enough blame to go around
Life has taken its toll on our designs
And the reasons left to hang on
Are not reason enough to stall
There’s no way to reclaim a vow that’s died
All the pledges we’ve exchanged were not phrased in vain
But our faults have frayed the reveries that we made
In a better place
I pray that I don’t turn around
I pray I find the strength
I pray that I don’t turn around
Oh Lord, grant me speed
(Moving on)
It don’t matter what we say
It don’t matter what we say
(Moving on)
We’ve been shattered anyway
We’ve been shattered anyway
(The page turns over)
I pray that I don’t turn around
I pray I find the strength
I pray that I don’t turn around
Oh Lord, grant me speed
Oh Lord, grant me speed
Oh Lord
(Grant me speed)
