It goes without saying the human race is evolving But many still live by old books that forbid us From same rights as people we're told are not equal We can evolve but the system keeps evil You've got your morals and you've got your rites, you’ve also Got your failed attempts cos, man, I've seen the light Some limit themselves with their own parallels, that's fine, but Many don't stop there and you can't tell me that's fair Was it something I said? Maybe we can pretend Was it something I said? The thoughts and consequence of damaging hooks Somehow they end in the places avoided by books And I'm not saying that we were meant to be angels But now I find myself here asking: What must come of us? How far can we come yet to still be controlled oh by the By the fear of a god; the great fear of unknown They've probably cut me down if they had the chance But by the power vested in me They've got no likely chance Was it something I said? Maybe we can pretend Was it something I said? The thoughts and consequence of damaging hooks Somehow they end in the places avoided by books And I'm not saying that we were meant to be angels But now I find myself here asking: What must come of us?

Set For LIfe 03:12
Got a feeling Shouldn’t be swinging off the ceiling But it’s hard when you know the freedom of open spaces and non-policed places Wanna take a trip Right around this island and deep in the sticks Take a few lures and go for a flick People are freaks and I admit, I’m just another hypocrite Don’t wanna wait till the sails go by But maybe sit till the sun sets for life From off the coast line down off the bay To Loyalty Beach, man, I’ll be set for life Don’t wanna wait till the sails go by But maybe sit till the sun sets for life From off the coast line down off the bay To Loyalty Beach, man, I’ll be set for life Catch my breath I’ll keep this view with me until my death Like finger prints they’re part of me I can’t forget I need to find more as much as I can get And I’ll be set So I sit on my chair And wonder what time has changed up there And wonder what stories have gone unheard Got a few of my own and some more to come Some reasons why I quit rum Don’t wanna wait till the sails go by But maybe sit till the sun sets for life From off the coast line down off the bay To Loyalty Beach, man, I’ll be set for life Don’t wanna wait till the sails go by But maybe sit till the sun sets for life From off the coast line down off the bay To Loyalty Beach, man, I’ll be set for life

In this chemical haze We walk in separate ways I can see what's peeling They're bleeding Take a walk in a dirty bar Don't know where we are It's alright, it's alright I can feel my fingers tonight Mindless wonders Intensity thunders Hey, hey This is my papier mâché Sitting under the stars Forgetting how simple we are And the price we pay is Too much of the same Feels like this forever Pull my strings and take all of my silver Feels like this forever She turns like a soul-burning liar And fires like a finger I fire But it works the wheels It works the wheels Feels like this forever Pull my strings and take all of my silver Feels like this forever Hey, hey This is my papier mâché

I like days where the nights don't end Old pubs and one night stands And those days, we never had no plan It all seemed much happier then Don't close your eyes You might miss this small disguise Don't close your eyes This night needs alibis She comes, and then she goes And I smile but she don't know Two sides to every story But mine’s better 'cos a lie don't bore me Don't close your eyes You might miss this small disguise Don't close your eyes This night needs alibis Those days were in disguise These days have realised Had more than meets the eye Backroads of paradise How quick did all those times turn one old night to one good ride? Hade more than meets the eye Another small disguise These days, the nights do end Old pubs are still my friends Looking at those days gone by Count your stars if you haven't died Don't close your eyes You might miss this small disguise Don't close your eyes This night needs alibis Those days were in disguise These days have realised Had more than meets the eye Backroads of paradise How quick did all those times turn one old night to one good ride? Hade more than meets the eye Another small disguise

Villain Side 04:01
They say your dark side Has got quite a smile When you're a lesson, Why hide your style? Heyyyey, what you need you've got for free Heyyyey, it’s no tragedy Let me see your villain side Pace is gone but your face is real Coloured eyes for a clearer feel Help me build my civil side Let me see your villain side Let me see your villain side I'm catching glimpses, of your shady wishes You've left your imprint, on your victim’s business Heyyyey, what you need you've got for free Heyyyey, God save the Queen Let me see your villain side Pace is gone but your face is real Coloured eyes for a clearer feel Help me build my civil side Let me see your villain side Let me see your villain side
