Win or Die

Twenty four seven the cameras are on
They're watching your moves and they're watching your soul
They want to see blood and they want to see sweat
They want to see you on the pedestal hanging to death
Twenty four seven your TV is on
You're watching the game and you're playing along
You want to see hate and you want to see fight
You want to see him on the pedestal hanging tonight
News and commercials
It's just the same
Selling us lies
It's just a game
Win or die The truth that will never be said
Twenty four seven are you out of your mind
Watching the screen is making you blind
They're giving you trash with a grin and a smile
They you to see you on the couch without telling the time
News and commercials
It's just the same
Selling us lies
It's just a game
Win or die
The truth that will never be said

Coincidence
04:42

A matter of coincidence
When things just collide
You think you're immune
To the sorrows of life
At the speed of a second
A whole life goes by
At the blink of an eye
You must say goodbye to your loved ones
We may be wasting our time
On pain and regret
But if you just be good to others
They will bid you farewell
A matter of coincidence
We're hanging around
Think we're so high
Until we fall to the ground
At the speed of a second
A whole life goes by
At a blink of an eye
You must say goodbye to your loved ones

Two Little Girls
02:46

Don't know how I became
Once a child now a Dad
Never thought I could be so sad
Never thought I could be this glad
I'll tie their shoes, fix their boots and my heart will go wherever they go
Because this is my life now
My life is inside these two little girls
With everything that's going on
Not even sure what's gonna last
We're running around for something to buy and find we're growing old pretty fast
They'll do the math, choose a path and my heart will be wherever they are
Because this is my life now
My life is inside these two little girls
I tell them good is in everything
Hate is just a matter of pride
The moon is the king, the sun is the queen
and that's the only law we abide
I can't give them everything
But I won’t deprive them of anything
All I have I'll give to them
The world is yours to dance and play
I'll tie their shoes, fix their boots and my heart will be wherever they are
Because this is my life now
My life is inside of these two little girls

Choice
03:32

Who decided when it’s time to be born
Who decided when we leave this world
Who decided what to do in between
Who decided what all of this means
Who decided god is religious
Who decided what the bible says
Who decided if it’s true or false
Who decided how to dance this waltz
Someone made a choice for us
Who decided time is money
Who decided who is rich who is poor
Who decided a song is funky
Who decided I should be cool
Who decided blood is cheap
Who decided high is deep
Who decided there's a light at the end of the tunnel
Who decided life is like a puzzle
Someone made a choice for us
Who decided it’s OK to kill
Who decided who's the fool on the hill
Who decided who lives who dies
Who decided when we fall when we rise
Who decided who gets lucky
A million dollar prize ain't that a thrill
Who wants to be invited to the party
Where everything is fake remember you are real
Someone made a choice for us
Who decided dreams come true
Who decided it's all about you
Are we asleep or awake
Will we ever learn from our mistakes

Road of War
04:38
|

We've got demolition and bombs in the air
We've got tanks and guns, so you better beware
They got tunnels and rockets flying everywhere
They got a strong religion and a whole lot of despair
Going nowhere on the road of war again
Its so much to take in, how can you in one breath
Include millions of lives in one word, in one death
And who is the king here, who's in command
Of all this bloodshed and bodies on the sand
Going nowhere on the road of war again
They say it’s a tough situation, there is no clean way out
Either you eat or you'll be eaten, so there's not much to talk about
And they say this is your enemy, there always seems to be one around
And if god is a part of this then he must be out of town
Because we're going nowhere on the road of war again
Life is too short and it goes by so fast
You can live in the present or be stuck in the past
Two ends for every tunnel
Two sides in every fight
Too much religion, and way too much pride
It can go on and on forever, who's winning anyway
How long till we notice our hearts just beat the same
Going nowhere on the road of war again

Got to be a winner trophy winner
Get to hold your head up high up
Number one
Honey tell me
When your working day is done
Were you reaching for the high rung
Reaching to be number one
You get a car
You want a boat
You want an eenie-meenie-miney Miney-moe
Oh there must be more to living
Than a mortgage and a lawn to mow
Sweaty work
And lucky breaks
And blood and tears is all it takes
To be a winner
People cheer
And people gasp
People want your autograph
When you're a winner
Win and lose
To the loser go the heart sick blues
To the victor goes the spoiling
Honey did you win or lose
Run run run run
Let's see you run
We'll be betting by the starting gun
Shall we shower you with flowers
Or shall we shun ya
When your race is run
Will we shower you with flowers
Or will we shun ya
When your race is run
Will they shower you with flowers
Or will they shun ya
When your race is run
Got to be a winner trophy winner
Get to hold your head up high up
Number one
