Shed My Load 02:49
It’s time to take the power back It’s time to rise against oppression It’s time to to get back on the track It’s time to make some new decisions What gives you the right to kill the light The darkness grows inside my mind The darkness grows When days are dark and friends are few Carry the spark I hold for you This system’s way beyond a joke Reflections of this hole we live in Another bite on which we choke Instead of light we’re given darkness! What gives you the right to kill the light The darkness grows inside When days are dark and friends are few Carry the spark I hold for you It’s no big mystery how our history got so out of control Baby, I just shed my load Another time, another crime, how did we sink so low Baby I just shed my load A lack of vision, no revision like we learnt in school Baby I just shed my load Won’t take forever, but whatever, I endeavor to be better I just shed my load

Firepool 03:19
Dancing ‘round the Firepool You’re such a dick; you think you’re cool But we all know that you’re a fucking imbecile A prick, a tool Privileged pirates sit secure And squander all we struggled for Your ghastly deeds we can’t ignore While you recline and laugh - Hey, fuck the poor! Fuck ‘em! Get down in the Firepool Burn in hell in the Firepool The left, the right, I don’t, you might You tussle with your demons You struggle in the night The up, the down You’re such a fucking clown Always in the headlines Dealing golden handshakes Riddled with corruption Rolling with the punch lines Never mind the school grade Need another upgrade Public condemnation Disregard for legislation It’s a sore-point of the nation As the legacy dies in a fire The legacy dies… in a fire Dancing ‘round the Firepool You’re such a dick; you think you’re cool But we all know that you’re a fucking imbecile A prick, a tool Privileged pirates sit secure And squander all we struggled for Your ghastly deeds we can’t ignore While you recline and laugh The legacy dies… Get down in the Firepool Burn in hell in the Firepool The legacy dies… in a fire

Was it a dream The burning sweats The midnight scream The monsters hiding in-between This cursed and unholy scene Is it a curse? A shock to the crotch, or worse Betrayal for this empty purse I can’t decide which sin is worse OH! The writing’s on the wall In front of us all What lies between these walls What did you find there Lurking in the shadows at night Nothing surprising Skeletons you’ve known all your life What did you hide there Between these walls! What of these lies Darkening our gorgeous skies Burning Holes into our eyes Lonely now, the river dries OH! The writing’s on the wall In front of us all Such lies between these walls! What did you find there Lurking in the shadows at night Nothing surprising Skeletons you’ve known all your life What did you hide there? Between these walls! Fuck all your bullshit How stupid do you think we are Fucking ridiculous How did you take it this far? What did you hide there? Between these walls!

Ugly Show 04:39
Hey Ho I’m ready to go Got an invitation to an Ugly Show I’ve got nine lives Snake eyes Don’t know what we’re in for But expect surprise So, come on down We’re heading out of town We’re gonna take this world And shake it upside down, yeah Good lord, it’s a triple-edge sword It’s a mind-eye location, it’s a trip abroad So we go to the Ugly Show Leaving while we’re breathing Best get into your flow Can’t say no Baby here we go One-way ticket To the Ugly Show Yes you, it’s a ticket for two It’s a chemical reaction It’s a beautiful view I suggest that you wear your best Never mind the baggage You can burn the rest So, come on down We’re heading out of town We’re gonna take this world And shake it upside down, yeah Good news It’s a far-out cruise It’s a groovy destination That you can’t refuse So we go to the Ugly Show Leaving while we’re breathing Best get into your flow Can’t say no Baby here we go One-way ticket To the Ugly Show Tell what you’re waiting for Best you get your party on There’s Jimi making castles in the sand While Suzanne holds a flower in her hand And Biffy’s building pieces up towards the sky While Pink is in the corner, learning to fly Jeff's tear hangs in my soul forever... Jeff's tear and my soul, forever...
