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 WERE SET TO ROLL
PEDDLE TO THE METAL, GIVE ME FOUR ON THE FLOOR
AND GET ME TO THE ROCKNROLL 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 YOURE FREAKIN GOING MAD WITH FRUSTRATION
SITTING BY THE TELEPHONE
ILL BE DOWN THERE JAMMING AT THE RADIO STATION
YOU KNOW THAT I AINT 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

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 WERE SET TO ROLL
PEDDLE TO THE METAL, GIVE ME FOUR ON THE FLOOR
AND GET ME TO THE ROCKNROLL SHOW
CAUSE I WAS THINKING īBOUT IT, THINKING īBOUT IT,
THINKING īBOUT IT, THINKING īBOUT IT,
THINKING īBOUT IT, I WAS THINKING īBOUT IT

WELL, I WAS WRONG

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 theres another one
Now I know theres 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 its gonna translate so much different from what I read
And I know that theres a time and place for every little thing
This time aint gonna hesitate and wait for what they bring
Now I know theres another one
Now I know theres 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 its all bout living when they never got to see
And anyway there just living in their dreams and fantasies
Now I know theres another one
Now I know theres another one
Now I know that there is time for us to dream again
time for us scheme
Now I know theres another one
Now I know theres another one
Now I know that there is time for us to dream again
time for us scheme cause when youre 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 theres another one
Now I know theres another one
Now I know theres 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 Ive seen
No limit to the death, sadness, hunger and regret, desperation in yer dying breath
cause were all living a life long suicide
spectators in a world of genocide
and were bringing this old world to its death
and it seems like were breathing our last breath
I dont wanna believe it man I cant 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 were breathing our last breath
I dont wanna believe it man I cant 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, dont ask me bout the cost of life
The passion of our lust has no control, pride is the trigger finger of our soul,
Were embracing the 7 sins of death and it seems like were breathing our last breath
I dont wanna believe it man I cant 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
7.ALWAYS WRONG (FORGOTTEN BOYS)
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 CANT 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
AND KILLING OFF THE PAST
I FEEL LIKE RUNNING AND JUMPING IN THE PAST
AND KILLING OFF THE PAST
IīD KILL IT ALL
