Lyrics: CDs: SOS

SOS

I hear an SOS
Last chance to open up your eye
A loud and clear distress
The masses laughing ask me why

It’s time to make it right
It’s time to stand up and come clean
A chance to take the fight
Or are you happy with this scene?
(Come on)

The lights go out on tainted sky
An SOS is passing by
The echos are what used to be
The sound and shape, it’s all they see
It’s all they see

There is an endless strife
They don’t believe it when they’re wrong
A sharp and pointing knife
But there’s no stopping when we’re strong

The lights go out on tainted sky
An SOS is passing by
The echos are what used to be
The sound and shape is all they see

The lights go out on tainted sky
An SOS is passing by
The echos are what used to be
The sound and shape, it’s all they see

I don’t know what I want
I don’t know what I see
The society is slowly eating me
I don’t know what to do
I don’t wanna agree, damn you
You’re really killing me

The lights go out on tainted sky
An SOS is passing by
The echos are what used to be
The sound and shape, it’s all they see
It’s all they see
(Let’s go)

For Yesterday

It stood and got flyin’ in the air
Well, most of us with our dreams that strayed
Me, I was just heading anywhere
Oh, I’d escape on a perilous game
Leave it all behind
For yesterday

Some of us didn’t make it through
Some were beat by a mental stress
I had my brothers to look up to
I was the fortunate one, I guess
And it’s all gone now
For yesterday
Yes, it’s all gone now
For yesterday

To all of you who aren’t past your prime
To all of you in the dirt and grime
To all of you who got lost and tired
For yesterday

Life’s journey’s long like a marathon
If it’s gonna stay you and me
Twenty-four years of naggin’ on
Don’t want our love to be a fading memory
Lost and gone
For yesterday

To all of you who aren’t past your prime
To all of you in the dirt and grime
To all of you who got lost and tired
For yesterday
For yesterday

To all of you who aren’t past your prime
To all of you in the dirt and grime
To all of you who never had a time
To all of you who got stuck and cried
To all of you who got lost and tired
For yesterday
For yesterday

Nothing

There’s a king upon the throne
He’s the king there all alone
He seems troubled and real sad
Just when thought that he was glad
To be the ruler of the earth
Could it be, it wasn’t worth
More than nothing?

From the day that he was born
In his side there was a thorn
He just couldn’t find the key
To be happy and be free
He felt forced to wear the crown
Slowly it will drag him down
Into nothing

I never told you ’bout my dream
How I saw us as a team
We would free the universe
With a chorus and a verse
We were gonna make a change
But like how every dream is strange
It’s also nothing

What was goin’ through your mind
What kind of truth did you find
What did you see from the top
That would finally make you stop
Did it give peace to your soul
Like you reached your final goal
Or just nothing?

On and on, on the road, never-ending
Keep a smile up, make sure you’re pretending
It’s been a long while since you ate the pain

On and on, you’re no fish in the water
But you’re slowly on your way to the slaughter
Before you know, everything’s too late

One more drink and you are learning how to fly
Everything just perfect once you reach the sky
Pop another pill, don’t wanna leave your dream
Forget about the days of when you swam upstream
And as I hear your song play on the radio
A certain sadness in me always starts to grow
Will I ever understand the reason why
The melodies make me both wanna smile and cry
And all the things you make me feel inside
Are anything but nothing

Sour Days

We wake up lonely
And feeling small
We’re not the only
To see the writing on the wall
We have our coffees
And dump our trash
Like kamikazes
We’re heading for a crash

There’s no going back
We’re on a one way track
Don’t you know that sour days are here to stay?

Some like it salty
Some like it sweeter
Some like it malty
With some oats and a twist of wheat
Some say go plenty
Some want it dry
We sure feel empty
When we fail after every try

There’s no going back
We’re on a one way track
Don’t you know that sour days are here to stay?
So just give in
If your patience’s wearing thin
And just accept that sour days are here to stay

First time will almost taste like shampoo
Second time will still be a bit weird
Third time it starting to grow on you
Soon you’ll check in as a volunteer
To rep the sour days, yeah!

No going back
We’re on a one way track
Don’t you know that sour days are here to stay?
So just give in
For this is not the end
And just accept that sour days are here to stay

There is no going back
Don’t you know that sour days are here to stay?
Yeah

Yanny & Laurel

They prophesied the end is near
Still we’re grateful summer’s here
Eighteen percent are idiots
Is that positive or hideous?

Got friends on every continent
The future’s bright, I’m confident, yeah
You see the world is questioning
And might ever canceled[?] everything

Watch the mad man in the car
See the drunk guy at the bar
Blame him for the planet’s decline
But hey, that could be me or you
Something that we both would do
And die when I was fast on a ride[?]

She saw some gypsies on the tram
How they will ride it up and down
Although it was subliminal
She saw their life as criminal

Well, it was me and some Belfast kids
For what’s not doing God forbids, yeah
We were heading to grandpa’s grave
As I recall, I think we did it

What a surprise, I’ve done a crime
Most this has been a waste of time
Never would have sent us to [?]
And there are two sides of the coin
Two sides that will never join
Even though they both are same

Like Yanny and Laurel
Like Yanny and Laurel
Like Yanny and Laurel
Like Yanny and Laurel

Like Yanny and Laurel
We see life differently
Like Yanny and Laurel
The world’s got its symmetry
Like Yanny and Laurel
No hard opinion on the world
Like Yanny and Laurel
But the planet’s crushing now
Like Yanny and Laurel
Like Yanny and Laurel
Like Yanny and Laurel
Like Yanny and Laurel

Reach You

Well, I saw you in a bar
I was not on your radar
Well, I tried to catch your eyes
But I was just some random guy

Well, I asked you for a dance
You said, “No, there is not a chance”
I didn’t know if my heart would mend
I saw you leaving with a friend

All I want is to reach you
And show what I’m about
You’re not someone to preach to
You got most things figured out
All I want is to reach you
But still I’m left in doubt
If you will accept me reaching out

I almost lost my head
Was the second time we met
Do you remember me from that bar?
What do you think the chances are?

You said, “I don’t mean to be cruel
Or to make you look like a fool
But if it’s me you want to stalk
Just give it up and take a walk”

Come on

I’ve been turned down and left the bar
The darkest moment from manic [?]
I try to make it day-by-day again
As soon as I get back up, I’m gonna [?]
I’ll be reaching out

‘Cause all I want is to reach you
And show what I’m about
You’re not someone to preach to
You got most things figured out
All I want is to reach you
But still I’m left in doubt
If you will accept me reaching out
Or if you will leave me here in doubt
If you will accept me reaching out

“Do You Want War”

Do you want, do you want, do you want war now
Do you want, do you want, do you want war
Make sure you know how to handle your own gun
Do you want, do you want, do you want war

When you wake up, look at your iPhone
Instead of first sayin’ good morning to her
Once again forgot about hormones
As you turn up chest heart problems start to occur
Yeah

Do you want, do you want, do you want war now
Do you want, do you want, do you want war
They say it’s a catalyst for change and progression
Do you want, do you want, do you want war

You go to work to do what you’re best at
[?] by what you achieve
Your sugary talk and smiles always part of the combat
I’m sure you won’t be smiling when your customers leave

Do you want, do you want, do you want war now
Do you want, do you want, do you want war
Make sure you know how to handle your own gun
So do you want, do you want, do you want war

Play with fire and you’re gonna get burned
What you throw in might just be returned
[?] I hit you like a boomerang in the head, yeah
[?] but still you talk too much
No one will listen to your Double Dutch
Once the battle’s over and you’re really dead

And in the bar you tell the owner
This beer could be good with a different yeast
So drink it up, look over your shoulder
[?] it’s the end of the [?]

Do you want, do you want, do you want war now
Do you want, do you want, do you want war
They say it’s a catalyst for change and progression
So do you want, do you want, do you want war

Trumpets & Poutine

We go to practice almost every day
And our conductor tells us how to play
You blow the trumpet and I slap the bass
We are a big ensemble called the human race

Who would you find to blame if you would
Lose your voice
Who will you point your finger at when
It all sounds like noise

Don’t say you’re innocent
Just because you know your harmony
You’re not just an instrument
To a conductor who has lost
Every sense of melody

At every show we always try our best
So will the [?] follow the rest
Please [?] if you have poutine
Your fingers will get greasy if you know what I mean

Who will you find to blame if you would
Lose your crowd
Who will you point your finger at if
It all sounds too loud, yeah-yeah!

Don’t say you’re innocent
Just because you’re not out of key
You’re not just an instrument
To a conductor who has lost
Every sense of melody

Whoooooooooa
Whoooooooooa
Whoooooooooa
Whoooooooooa

Don’t say you’re innocent
Just because you know your harmony
You’re not just an instrument
To a conductor who has lost
Every single melody

Whoooooooooa
Whoooooooooa
I don’t think you’re innocent
Whoooooooooa
Whoooooooooa
Don’t say you’re innocent

Let It Be

Don’t wanna ride on the carousel
Don’t wanna be part of your cartel
So whatever you’ve got to sell
Be sure I won’t be payin’
And I don’t care about the president
It doesn’t mean that I’m ignorant
I just think that it’s dissonant
Everything they’re sayin’

It goes round and round, but it’s not for me
If it brings me down, I let it be

Life is strange, got the time to lose
Ain’t got the time for the tragic news
‘Cause all it does is givin’ me the bruise
Don’t want it in my system
‘Cause I’m lookin’ for a brighter day
And I’m strong, gotta find a way
I don’t care what the people say
I’m much too old to listen

Goes round and round, but it’s not for me
If it brings me down, I let it be

I let it be
I let it be
I let it be

Yeah, I gotta do what I gotta do
And I presume you gotta do so too
I’m really sorry, I can’t wait for you
Didn’t mean to burst your bubble
I stay away from negativity
You know I push for positivity
You know it’s good for creativity
To stay from trouble

It goes round and round, but it’s not for me
If it brings me down and it’s killin’ me
It’s the same old song and it’s lame to see
Can’t stick around, so let it be

I let it be
I let it be
I let it be
Go!

Dramatic Planet

Everyone cannot be your hero here
[?] starting the same old play
But as times, they are changin’
[?] seems to the same

I’ve never been shot, only plot and smear
It’s obviously part of the game
Yeah we’re all in a need of a
[?] away

A planet of drama
From Nick Cage to Shakespeare
We’re all pulling drama
For as long as we’re here

Could we ever handle these racist thoughts
Hatred and shady regimes
I don’t think those are random ideas
That came out of the blue

If we know who’s calling all the shots
The mastermind behind the schemes
Think we all should be takin’ a lesson
In science or two

A planet of drama
From Nick Cage to Shakespeare
We’re all pulling drama
For as long as we’re here

No matter that we all want a…
A life without fear
A planet of drama
That won’t disappear, yeah

Like electrons I orbit all
Around the nucleus of this world
Well

I’m just an atom looking for
How to create a molecule

It’s a planet of drama
From Nick Cage to Shakespeare
We’re all pulling drama
For as long as we’re here

Caveman’s Land

In the early days, when you lived in caves
You hardly ever met a stranger, but if you did it could mean danger
You chewed on your bones and you were throwin’ stones
And you used your club for hunting, you were a troglodyte

You said this land was your land
And never will be their land
How long will your aggression stand
In a caveman’s land?

Now that was long ago, but evolution’s slow
Though you got globalization and access to information
Even with an internet, you find a logic hard to get
When your mind’s set all Jurassic, you’re still a troglodyte

And you say this land is your land
And never will be their land
How long will your aggression stand
In a caveman’s land?
You say this land is your land
And never will be their land
What’s so hard to understand?
It’s still a caveman’s land

Wonder how it’s down there, in your hole
Where it’s darkness all the time
Building up these images of ghosts outside
Must be scary to play that role
A tricky hill to climb
That is gonna make you lose control
Yeah, the demons of your soul
Will make you fall back into your hole
Yeah

Is it too complex, or can you tell what’s next?
After years and years of sinkin’, can you switch your way of thinking?
Will your kids be lame, or will they change the game?
Will they act a little wiser, and not be troglodytes

And say this land is your land
And never just be my land
Yeah, will they take a stand
Against the caveman’s land
And say this land is your land
And never just be my land
Who’ll get the upper hand
In this caveman’s land

Say this land is your land
Never will be their land
How long will your aggression stand
In a caveman’s land?
Say this land is your land
Never will be their land
What’s so hard to understand?
It’s still a caveman’s land

In the early days
It was long ago, but evolution slowed
Is it too complex, or can you tell what’s next?
Will our kids be lame, or change the game?

Carry On

If it’s broken, I don’t fix it
I’ll buy a brand new one instead
With wine and beer all mixed
To keep the noise outside my head

So carry on this wasteful mission
Carry on, keep havin’ fun
Until the only solution saves us
I’ll close my eyes and carry on

I’m not a chemist, doctor or technician
Though I wish I had those skills
But I don’t have too much ambition
As long as I can pay my bills

So carry on this wasteful mission
Carry on, keep havin’ fun
Carry on with no traditions
Until the mental solution saves us
I’ll close my eyes and carry on

Carry on, carry on
Carry on, carry on

Whoa, I hear the clock is tickin’
Could this be the last call?
My cylinders are only clickin’
Under the influence of alcohol

Carry on, this wasteful mission
Carry on, keep havin’ fun
Carry on with no traditions
Until the mental solution saves us
I’ll close my eyes and carry on

Carry on, carry on
Carry on, carry on
