1. THINKING īBOUT IT (DREW)

I ONLY HAD ABOUT AN HOUR TO GO

MY BODY SAID YES AND MY BRAIN SAID NO

SO TELL ME WHAT THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?

LIVE MY LIFE ON THE ROAD OR SETTLE DOWN WITH YOU

GIVE ME A GUITAR A SHOW AND A BUS AND BABY WE’RE SET TO ROLL

PEDDLE TO THE METAL, GIVE ME FOUR ON THE FLOOR

AND GET ME TO THE ROCK’N’ROLL SHOW

CAUSE I WAS THINKING īBOUT IT, THINKING īBOUT IT,

THINKING īBOUT IT, THINKING īBOUT IT,

THINKING īBOUT IT, I WAS THINKING īBOUT IT

YEAH BABE I WAS THINKING īBOUT IT, THINKING īBOUT IT,

I EVEN TRIED TO BE A MAN ABOUT IT, THINKING īBOUT IT,

YEAH I WAS THINKING īBOUT IT

THE ONLY THINK I CARE ABOUT IS ROCKīNīROLL

CAUSE IT MOVES MY BODY AND IT FREES MY SOUL

SO TELL ME WHAT THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO DO

TO LIVE MY LIFE ON THE ROAD IS ALL I WANNA DO

I KNOW YOU’RE FREAKIN’ GOING MAD WITH FRUSTRATION

SITTING BY THE TELEPHONE

I’LL BE DOWN THERE JAMMING AT THE RADIO STATION

YOU KNOW THAT I AIN’T COMING HOME

BUT I WAS THINKING īBOUT IT, THINKING īBOUT IT,

THINKING īBOUT IT, THINKING īBOUT IT,

THINKING īBOUT IT, I WAS THINKING īBOUT IT

YEAH BABE I WAS THINKING īBOUT IT, THINKING īBOUT IT,

I EVEN TRIED TO BE A MAN ABOUT IT, THINKING īBOUT IT,

YEAH I WAS THINKING īBOUT IT

LEAD GUITAR

I ONLY HAD ABOUT AN HOUR TO GO

MY BODY SAID YES AND MY BRAIN SAID NO

SO TELL ME WHAT THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?

JUST GET YOUR ASS ON THE BUS I WANNA ROCK WITH YOU

GIVE ME A GUITAR A SHOW AND A BUS AND BABY WE’RE SET TO ROLL

PEDDLE TO THE METAL, GIVE ME FOUR ON THE FLOOR

AND GET ME TO THE ROCK’N’ROLL SHOW

CAUSE I WAS THINKING īBOUT IT, THINKING īBOUT IT,

THINKING īBOUT IT, THINKING īBOUT IT,

THINKING īBOUT IT, I WAS THINKING īBOUT IT

YEAH BABE I WAS THINKING īBOUT IT, THINKING īBOUT IT,

I EVEN TRIED TO BE A MAN ABOUT IT, THINKING īBOUT IT,

YEAH I WAS THINKING īBOUT IT

YEAH I WAS THINKING īBOUT IT, THINKING īBOUT IT,

THINKING īBOUT IT, THINKING īBOUT IT,

THINKING īBOUT IT, I WAS THINKING īBOUT IT

YEAH BABE I WAS THINKING īBOUT IT, THINKING īBOUT IT,

I EVEN TRIED TO BE A MAN ABOUT IT, THINKING īBOUT IT,

YEAH I WAS THINKING īBOUT IT

I WAS THINKING īBOUT IT, I WAS THINKING īBOUT IT

I WAS THINKING īBOUT IT, I WAS THINKING īBOUT IT

I ONLY HAD ABOUT AN HOUR TO GO

 

 

2. I WAS WRONG (DREW)

WELL, I WAS WRONG

WELL, I WAS WRONG

I TRIED TO DO THE THINGS YOU SAID I OUGHT TO

I TRIED TO DO THE THINGS YOU SAID I OUGHT TO

I TRIED TO DO THE THINGS YOU SAID I OUGHT TO

TRIED TO BE THE KIND OF GUY TO TALK TO

WELL, I WAS WRONG

WELL, I WAS WRONG

WELL YOU COME ON BY AND YOU GET REAL HIGH AND I LOOSE MY MIND

SO IīM COMING BACK WITH THIS SONG

I WAS WRONG

WELL, I WAS WRONG

WELL, I WAS WRONG

I TRIED TO DO THE THINGS YOU SAID I OUGHT TO

I TRIED TO DO THE THINGS YOU SAID I OUGHT TO

I TRIED TO DO THE THINGS YOU SAID I OUGHT TO

TRIED TO BE THE KIND OF GUY TO TALK TO

WELL YOU COME ON BY AND YOU GET REAL HIGH AND I LOOSE MY MIND

SO IīM COMING BACK WITH THIS SONG

WELL YOU COME ON BY AND YOU GET REAL HIGH AND I LOOSE MY MIND

WELL YOU COME ON BY AND YOU GET REAL HIGH AND I LOOSE MY MIND

3. THIS TIME (DREW)

This time aint gonna listen to the voices in my head

This time aint never gonna take no mind of what I read

And I know you gotta hang on when you wanna just cut out

Some times aint gonna hesitate and listen to my doubts

Now I know there’s another one

Now I know there’s another one

Now I know that there is time for us to dream again and time for us scheme

This time they gonna listen to the words that they all said

This time it’s gonna translate so much different from what I read

And I know that there’s a time and place for every little thing

This time aint gonna hesitate and wait for what they bring

Now I know there’s another one

Now I know there’s another one

Now I know that there is time for us to dream again

time for us scheme my friend

time for us to lay down with the scattered pieces on the ground

and time for us to scheme a while

time ‘cause schemeings back in style

time will pass the timekeeper and time will pass us never gonna get outta there

get me out of there

get me out of there

get me out of there

out

This time aint gonna listen to the voices in my head

This time aint never gonna take no mind of what I read

And I know it’s all ‘bout living when they never got to see

And anyway the’re just living in their dreams and fantasies

Now I know there’s another one

Now I know there’s another one

Now I know that there is time for us to dream again

time for us scheme

Now I know there’s another one

Now I know there’s another one

Now I know that there is time for us to dream again

time for us scheme cause when you’re living with the vagrants

and those scattered pieces on the ground

and time for us to scheme a while

time ‘cause schemings back in style

time will pass the timekeeper and time will pass us never gonna get out

Now I know there’s another one

Now I know there’s another one

Now I know there’s another one

 

 

 

4. BASTA (DREW)

Basta basta basta eu quero paz

eu quero paz

eu disse

Basta basta basta basta basta

Basta basta basta

eu quero paz

eu quero paz

No limit to the greed, no limit to disease no limit to the shit I’ve seen

No limit to the death, sadness, hunger and regret, desperation in yer dying breath

‘cause we’re all living a life long suicide

spectators in a world of genocide

and we’re bringing this old world to it’s death

and it seems like we’re breathing our last breath

I don’t wanna believe it man I can’t help but see it

Porque eu disse

Basta basta basta eu quero paz

eu quero paz

eu disse

Basta basta basta basta basta

Basta basta basta

eu quero paz

eu quero paz

No limit to the guns and the murder of our sons, spilling blood on the city streets

No limit to assaults, war, robbery and revolts, no limit to the broken dreams

More guns and drugs are pushed out everyday a growing line of users here to pay

Everytown in the world is selling death and I know that we’re breathing our last breath

I don’t wanna believe it man I can’t help but see it

Porque eu disse

Basta basta basta eu quero paz

eu quero paz

eu quero paz

eu quero paz

eu quero paz

No limit to the fights, pollution, murders in the nights, no limit to the bill of rights

Homelessness and poverty, hunger, aids and 3rd world need

Missing children, suicides, don’t ask me ‘bout the cost of life

The passion of our lust has no control, pride is the trigger finger of our soul,

We’re embracing the 7 sins of death and it seems like we’re breathing our last breath

I don’t wanna believe it man I can’t help but see it

Porque eu disse

Basta basta basta eu quero paz

eu quero paz

eu disse

Basta basta basta basta basta

Basta basta basta basta basta

Basta basta basta basta basta

Basta basta basta

eu quero paz

 

 

5. MILLION MILES AWAY

 

 

6. MORE

I WAS BORN AND I WAS LOST AND I WAS BAD

THERE WAS SOMETHING IN THIS WAY I NEVER HAD

I HAD TO SEARCH TO FIND THE TRUTHS FROM HOLLOW MEN

IT WAS SOMETHING THAT WOULD NEVER COME AGAIN

IT WAS A TIME WHEN I ALMOST KNEW THE SCORE

YEAH BUT I ALWAYS WANTED MORE

IT WAS A TIME WHEN I ALMOST KNEW THE SCORE

YEAH BUT I ALWAYS WANTED MORE

WANTED MORE

I WAS GUIDED TO A WORLD OF BROKEN DREAMS

AND MY SCHOOLING RIPPED MY SOUL OUT AT THE SEEMS

ALL MY TEENAGE YEARS WERE SPENT ON HOLLOWED GROUND

I WAS MOLDED AND SUPPRESSED, THEY TRIED TO BRING THIS POOR BOY DOWN

IT WAS A TIME WHEN I ALMOST KNEW THE SCORE

YEAH BUT I ALWAYS WANTED MORE

IT WAS A TIME WHEN I ALMOST KNEW THE SCORE

YEAH BUT I ALWAYS WANTED MORE

WANTED MORE

NOWADAYS I TAKE IT WHEN IT CALLS

HOPE SOMEONE WILL CATCH ME WHEN I FALL

IT WAS SOMETHING THAT WOULD NEVER COME AGAIN

I GOT BROKEN BUT I AINīT NO HOLLOW MAN

IT WAS A TIME WHEN I ALMOST KNEW THE SCORE

YEAH BUT I ALWAYS WANTED MORE

IT WAS A TIME WHEN I ALMOST KNEW THE SCORE

YEAH BUT I ALWAYS WANTED MORE

IT WAS A TIME ................(HOLD)

WHEN I ALMOST KNEW THE SCORE

YEAH BUT I ALWAYS WANTED MORE

IT WAS A TIME................... (HOLD)

WHEN I ALMOST KNEW THE SCORE

YEAH BUT I ALWAYS WANTED MORE

WANTED MORE

8.KILLING OFF THE PAST (DREW)

I SEE THE CHILDREN BURNING LISTENING TO THE CORNERS OF MY MIND

I SEE THE WAY THEYīRE TURNING, LOOKING FOR THE THINGS THAT I CAN’T FIND

I KNOW THEREīS SOMETHING COMING AND IT WILL BE A BRIGHTER DAY

A LITTLE SOMETHING GROOVER, WEīRE GONNA HAVE TO TAKE AWAY

LIVING WITH THE PAST

I TRY TO STOP IT BUT I FIND THAT THIS OLD MIND PLAYS TRICKS ON ME

SOME GHOST FROM MY PAST COMES BACK TO HAUNT ME IN MY MEMORY

I TRY TO FIGHT ON BUT IT SEEMS I AINīT GOT WHAT IT TAKES

SCORCESI MADE MY MOVIE CALLED IT "A THOUSAND AND ONE MISTAKES"

I FEEL LIKE RUNNING AND JUMPING IN THE PAST

AND KILLING OFF THE PAST

I FEEL LIKE RUNNING AND JUMPING IN THE PAST
