I was your indie darling,
Babyface Prince Charming
Grabbing on the brass ring,
Our tag team was everything
Then you went and turned heel
Said what we had wasn't real
Because of your little deal
The title that was our to steal
Worth five times more than the pain you made me feel
You said our time didn't suck,
but you chose business over pleasure
Still I'm gonna wish you the best of luck
Upon your future endeavor
I kept your ass out of the muck,
But you got scared over stormy weather
Still I'm gonna wish you the best of luck
Upon your future endeavor
You said his talent's Triple A
An excuse to throw me away
All the little game you play
Will bite you in the ass one day
Now you're on the marquee
He said he'll take you overseas
Next time you're facing me
you're gonna need some surgery
When I put you down for the 1 2 3
You said our time didn't suck,
but you chose business over pleasure
Still I'm gonna wish you the best of luck
Upon your future endeavor
I kept your ass out of the muck,
But you got scared over stormy weather
Still I'm gonna wish you the best of luck
Upon your future endeavor
In spite of what you did to me,
I'll break out of that shell
Gonna strut down the runway
You'll have no chance in hell
You'll have no chance in hell (x4)
You said our time didn't suck,
but you chose business over pleasure
Still I'm gonna wish you the best of luck
Upon your future endeavor
I kept your ass out of the muck,
But you got scared over stormy weather
Still I'm gonna wish you the best of luck
Upon your future endeavor

Cliffhanger
03:10
|

Hanging' off cliff, spirits on a ledge
You bought the whole seat, you're only getting the edge.
Finger's slip, grip is fading fast,
As I start to fall into the crevasse
In a sticky spot your hero's in trouble
In the end will my hand burst from the rubble,
But we gotta stop, I know it's rude
'Cause our show might not even get renewed
We're on a cliffhanger
I guess it's over for now
And it's a head banger
What's gonna happen and how
Maybe it'll finish in the next season
Screen has cut to black but don't stop believin'
Questions through my mind
Cause I don't want to wait around for Part 2
If I make it in time, I'll sing this song
Unless I was already dead all along
Blood pumps to the sound with a kill to a view,
What to do when I ponder who shot who
Do I hit the ground, will I survive and why?
I hope I miss the Earth and am able to fly
We're on a cliffhanger
I guess it's over for now
And it's a head banger
What's gonna happen and how
Maybe it'll finish in the next season
Screen has cut to black but don't stop believin'
Cliffhanger
I guess it's over for now
And it's a head banger
What's gonna happen and how
Maybe it'll finish in the next season
Screen has cut to black but don't stop believin'

Radio Days Pt. 1

I’ve seen the future, and it is me
First one to leave my town and join university,
I’m ready to solve any problems I might face.
I control progress for the whole human race
Look at me, I got my PHDs,
I see good things coming our way
Turn on the set my baby now,
cause I’m here to stay
Don’t you worry our head,
Cause I’ll make both our ways
I’m just happy being alive in these radio days
I can build a better world for you and me,
Just have a little faith in me and my machines
Just don’t ask me about beauty or Plato
Cause Philosophy I sure as hell don’t know
Look at me, I got my PHDs,
I see good things coming our way
Turn on the set my baby now,
cause I’m here to stay
Don’t you worry our head,
Cause I’ll make both our ways
I’m just happy being alive in these radio days

Thrash Panda
03:06

Lil’ Raccoon, picking through trash on a sticky summer night
Came upon a Fender strat, with the strings would nice and tight
He felt a mighty something when picked it with his claw
And when he hit a power chord the town just stared in awe
Found a studded jacket and a worn out pair of Vans
Cranked real loud in his garage, not giving a da- amn
You can hear him cross the town on his old Marshall stacks
He won’t give you rabies, but he’ll give you anthrax
Thrash Panda! Thrash Panda! (x4)
Got a rabbit on the drums, a hyena on the bass
Now thrash panda’s got a band, set to rock some face
Speeding down to the club in a van his uncle stole
Made it there just in time to play some rock and roll
Everyone is out of tune, the stage almost collapsed
Still thrash panda cranks it up, and now they’re kicking some ass
A mosh pit opens up and the crowd cannot be tamed
Bodies mashed from wall to wall calling his name
Thrash Panda! Thrash Panda! (x4)
Now he’s touring ‘round the world, Guitar in his tail
People come from miles away, just to see him wa- ail
You can hear him cross the town on his old Marshall stacks
He won’t give you rabies, but he’ll give you anthrax
Thrash Panda (x4)

Force Of Nature
02:48
|
|||
|
Please allow me to introduce myself
I’m a pretty big deal with a stocked trophy shelf.
Son of a whore and a punk from the South side
I used my legs cause I never had a ride
Tried going to the major leagues
But they said they didn’t have a place for me
Now my whole town has gone to shit,
The only thing left to do was enlist.
I don’t give a damn ‘bout the minor offenses,
Cause tonight I’m swingin’ for the fences
I’m a force of nature comin’ your way
Like the Red Sox on opening day.
All I wanna do is hit that and fight
‘Cause this kid sure as hell ain’t all right.
Screwin’ up and fightin’ just for fun
I don’t have to worry cause I can always run
Corprate leaders fighting over my soul
Only point being complete control.
TV said I should rebel against the man
when he gives me all my energy in a can.
Still got my bat, yeah it’s all I need.
Now I go by mercenary creed.
At least it’s better than a 9 to 5
I’m getting high on just staying alive
I don’t give a damn ‘bout the minor offenses,
Cause tonight I’m swingin’ for the fences
I’m a force of nature comin’ your way
Like the Red Sox on opening day.
All I wanna do is hit that and fight
‘Cause this kid sure as hell ain’t all right.
Screwin’ up and fightin’ just for fun
I don’t have to worry cause I can always run
(GUITAR SOLO)
I don’t give a damn ‘bout the minor offenses,
Cause tonight I’m swingin’ for the fences
I’m a force of nature comin’ your way
Like the Red Sox on opening day.
All I wanna do is hit that and fight
‘Cause this kid sure as hell ain’t all right.
Screwin’ up and fightin’ just for fun
I don’t have to worry cause I can always run

F-R-I D-A-Y Night Magic! (x4)
Well Saturday night’s alright for fightin,
But Friday’s when I like to throw down
Roll up my sleeves it’ll be a breeze,
As it is when I hit the town
My friends are all here and we have convoke
In a magical gathering totally dope,
Well it’s Friday Night,
I got my eyes on the prize!
Walkin’ the plains hunting bigger game,
And the outcome’s gonna be tragic
They say I’m cursed but it’s the multiverse
and we all want a piece of the magic!
F-R-I D-A-Y Night Magic! (x4)
Pull up to a table whenever you’re able and get out whatever’s been brewed
The mana flows when I’m with my bros
Wheteher we’re flooded or screwed
A sliver or a shard from up at the bar
And a little peek at my brand new card
Are ya willin’ to trade,
Cause I’m willin’ to play!
Walkin’ the plains hunting bigger game,
And the outcome’s gonna be tragic
They say I’m cursed but it’s the multiverse
and we all want a piece of the magic!
F-R-I D-A-Y Night Magic! (x4)
I set the Standard for the Modern man,
My Legacy in Vintage condition
A tabletop Commander who’s got the plan
Even with limited options
I’m going home a winner there’s no doubt
It’s the final bout and we’re all tapped out
When the buzzer sounds
We want one more round!
Walkin’ the plains hunting bigger game,
And the outcome’s gonna be tragic
They say I’m cursed but it’s the multiverse
and we all want a piece of the magic!
F-R-I D-A-Y Night Magic! (x4)

BOLAS:
And so, it begins
Your God-Pharoh has arrived
You've all scurried like obedient little insects
The Hour of Devastation is at hand!
BASTARD:
A reckoning approaches
The gates open to my new era
My laughter echoes
No one will hear your cries
Every dream is a nightmare
Behold my grandeur
Bow your allegiance to true power
CHORUS:
May his return come quickly
And we found worthy!
BASTARD:
This is what glory looks
I'm starting to enjoy myself
Pain is an illusion
The dunes smell spilled blood
The soul of this world is gone
And I will kill it again
What's yours is mine
This world belongs to me
CHORUS:
May his return come quickly
And we found worthy!
BOLAS:
For you, the day Bolas came to your plane
Was the most important day of your life
But for me, it was Tuesday
I have created entire worlds
And extinguished twice as many
BASTARD:
Power without equal
Because I've willed it
The mighty will fall
There is no refuge
My forces are endless
Pay tribute to me
When will you learn?
Know evil
CHORUS:
May his return come quickly
And we found worthy!
May his return come quickly
And we found worthy!

Fire In The Hole
03:30
|

Wake up every morning looking for a little mayhem,
Fall asleep to police sirens and bedlam
It’s all part of the plan before it’s up in flames
Limping on a peg leg and other run
Droppin’ bombs and causing misery for fun
One night with me is anything but tame
Revved up and ready to roll,
Clock’s tickin’ I’m about to blow!
Fire in the hole (Fire In The hole!) x4
C’mon baby let’s go!
Fire in the hole (Fire In The hole!) x4
C’mon baby let’s roll!
Hittin’ 90 on my fifth shot of whiskey
Night is young and you’re looking good to me
What do ya say we blow this joint?
Move it hard like we’re moving up the payload
Body’s pounding I feel I’m gonna explode
If you catch my drift, you’ll get my point
Revved up and ready to roll,
Clock’s tickin’ I’m about to blow!
Fire in the hole (Fire In The hole!) x4
C’mon baby let’s go!
Fire in the hole (Fire In The hole!) x4
C’mon baby let’s roll!
Buy the ride, take the trip,
Like a buzzbomb from Pasadena,
Let ‘er rip!
SOLO
Fire in the hole (Fire In The hole!) x4
C’mon baby let’s go!
Fire in the hole (Fire In The hole!) x4
C’mon baby let’s roll!

High Noon
03:20

Shells fall as I’m slumped against the wall
Cause the diner broke out in yet another brawl
Settled down, the waitress came around and said
“Son don’t you think you should a-mosey out of town?”
Killed m’ coffee, slumped off the floor,
And before the cops came stumbled out the back door
Feelin’ fine, found an old pal o’ mine,
Said “You’re under arrest, put your hands to the sky”
Bounty’s on your head, and I took out your goons,
You’re gonna seem soon,
It’s high noon
Sun burns, but another dollars earned,
As m’ six-shooter tells me my luck is gonna turn
Cause I’m the best gunman in the west
Til a 45 hits me right in the chest
Feel sick, but my guns hammer kicks
Now he’s face down bleedin’ on Route 66
On m’ back, grabbed my bloody hole
Now the clock’s tickin’ down til the Reaper takes my soul
Breeze across my face Out here in the dunes
Momma I’ll see you soon,
It’s high noon
And I’m beggin’ for mercy, cause I’ll die in the dunes
So you better come soon,
It’s high noon
Like a bolt of lightning, I’m back to life
I hear from the heavens “Heroes Never Die”
My angel flies away, I hope to see her soon
Til then it’s the saloon,
It’s high noon

Trans women are women, trans man are men
And I'll break your fucking skull if I say it again
Because Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists
Are Secret White Supremacists and they can eat shit
Trans women are women, trans man are men
And I'll break your fucking skull if I say it again
Because Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists
Are Secret White Supremacists and they can eat shit
Fuck Terfs! Fuck Terfs! Fuck Terfs! But don't Have sex with them (x4)
Shut up for 5 seconds and maybe you'll learn
But you wanna look progressive so you're trolling with concern
Transitioning helps with their mental state,
But keeping things rigid helps you profit off hate
You say there's two genders, well I got two fists
The science is settled and it says you're full of shit
You go complain to Twitter when you get called out
But this ain't Twitter so everybody shout
Fuck Terfs! Fuck Terfs! Fuck Terfs! But don't Have sex with them (x4)
No one every gets it in one day
All we're asking is for some empathy
But deep down you know,
It's all about the status quo
That's why we gotta say "FUCK CIVILITY!"
Fuck Terfs! Fuck Terfs! Fuck Terfs! But don't Have sex with them (x4)
Fuck Terfs! They can go straight to hell!

Now the danger has subsided
Let us make our palms collide and
We both know it's been a hell of a ride of lasers and dinos
In this war we found romance
To the college party where we'll dance
That meteor never stood half a chance
Winning's all that we know
We done it well we done it great
And now it's time to celebrate
Hell yeah we made it out alive
It's over give me a high five
Hell yeah we made it out alive
It's over give me a high five
After all those sleepless nights
Wondering if it will be all right
Hopin' they'd pay a visit to the site where we can be heroes
If only for that just one day
This tale of bravery a- will be played
Throughout it all we were never dismayed
Even when the scores were zero
We done it well we done it great
And now it's time to celebrate
Hell yeah we made it out alive
It's over give me a high five
Hell yeah we made it out alive
It's over give me a high five
Partied hard and I've passed the class
Heroes died but we kicked some ass
Playin' invisiball was a blast
Robots lamented of their past
Maybe I should have stopped drinkin'
All my life I have been thinkin'
Why on this cliff I have been hangin'
But it's all right 'cause it got me singin'
Hell yeah we made it out alive
It's over give me a high five
Hell yeah we made it out alive
It's over give me a high five

Take The Oath
03:17

No matter how hard we try
The odds are not on our side
Good thing
We suck at math
Before the color’s drained
From our beloved plane,
We’ll resist
The creatures wrath
Millions of eyes on their elbows and thighs,
Blocking out the skies with their massive size
Follow light with no fear
We know our purpose here
Be the roadblock
In their warpath
We took the oath, we chose to stay
And we’ll work together to save the day
Shoulder to shoulder, ready to go
Like a gatewatch
Super show
We took the oath, We chose to stay
And we’ll stop anyone that gets in our way
Yeah yeah yeah
Talkin’ to you, Ulamog!
Some bad guys tried to kill our scene
With tortured, deathly screams
We had thought
Our plans were botched
But with the help of friends
We brought him to his end
With a kick
To the crotch
We come from different planes but our goals are the same
If we put our heads together we can do anything
For the sake of those who died
And trhe worlds we’ve yet to find
We’ll take the oath
And keep watch
We took the oath, we chose to stay
And we’ll work together to save the day
Shoulder to shoulder, ready to go
Like a gatewatch
Super show
We took the oath, We chose to stay
And we’ll stop anyone that gets in our way
Yeah yeah yeah
Talkin’ to you Kozilek!
Kids, we come from all across this great big multiverse,
And it’s up to come together and protect it!
So raise your hand in the air
Like you’re about to give someone a big ol High Five and say
I WILL KEEP WATCH!
We took the oath, we chose to stay
And we’ll work together to save the day
Shoulder to shoulder, ready to go
Like a gatewatch
Super show
We took the oath, We chose to stay
And we’ll stop anyone that gets in our way
Yeah yeah yeah
For Zendikar!

Welcome back to the top of the pops
On the Q-U-O you can never stop
Let’s go and start the show
Radio silence fell on deaf ears,
but don’t you fear we’re always here
With this band we’ll start again
Live from the tower in the middle of nowhere land
Sea and air we always kick out the jams.
Just when you think you’ve had enough it,
You’ll be lying face down in the gravel pit
Boom! Pow! Smash!
Get Ready for the Crash!
The Bastards reunite tonight
Keeping up the greatest fight.
We’re everywhere, no one’s spared.
When you’re feeling this kinda high
Don’t surmise you’ve been lobotomized
It’s fine, I’ve lost my mind
Live from the tower in the middle of nowhere land
Sea and air we always kick out the jams.
Just when you think you’ve had enough it,
You’ll be lying face down in the gravel pit
Boom! Pow! Smash!
Get Ready for the Crash!
(Solo)
Shut down other frequenceies
Until all that’s left is you and me
Like a twisted prophecy
That’s all we’ll be
And if you think you’re having none of it,
You’re gonna end up face down in the gravel pit
Boom! Pow! Smash!
Get Ready for the Crash!
Bullet to the head, won’t make you dead
You just go back to making the bread
I’m not a slave, I’ve just been saved.
Who cares if you’ve been through hell
Life is already swell, so don’t rebel
Play this song, and sing along
Live from the tower in the middle of nowhere land
Sea and air, we’re always damned
Even though I’ve already quit
I’d rather be dead at the gravel pit
BOOM POW SMASH!
I’m ready for the crash!
BOOM!
POW!
SMASH!
CRASH!
