1. Back on the Map
I'm gonna get it back
Get back what we had
We're gonna fight to make it right
You know we'll use our might
We're gonna take it to the start
We know we use our heart
We're gonna fight to get it back
You know we'll be back on the map
Back on the map
Back on the map
Back on the map
Back on the map
It's time for us to run
You know we'll never fall
We're take back what is ours
Gonna take it all
But I know we'll get it back
We'll get back all we had
And you'll see us when we're there
Back on the map
Back on the map
Back on the map
Back on the map
Back on the map
Back on the map
Back on the map
Back on the map
Back on the map
Back on the map
2. Addiction
You thought you'd make it so easily
Teetering on the brink of insanity
Just for kicks, but then it grew
You had a problem, but no one knew
Feel the pressure run through your veins
Now the pressure has stirred the pain
Through the blood, to your stinking heart
You were big, but now you're small
Addiction
Addiction
Addiction
Now you're saying that now you're clean
Wallowing in misery
Lost your job, your ceiling went
Hoping that will be the bed
I got to have it, I need it bad
Feel the rush, like you were dead
The blood is warm, right near your heart
The battles won, before it starts
Addiction
Addiction
Addiction
Feel the pressure run through your veins
Now the pressure has stirred the pain
Through the blood, to your stinking heart
You were b, but now you're small
Addiction
Addiction
Addiction
Addiction
Addiction
Addiction
3. Where There's Smoke
Why is everybody on my back
Better leave me be or I'll attack
Always giving giving giving crap
Push me more and I'm gonna snap
We're a powder keg that's gonna blow
If you don't want to die you'd better go
Why doesn't just everybody just leave me alone
Before this place becomes a combat zone
Where there's smoke there's fire
Where there's smoke there's fire
Head is smoking but a fire's near
Putting out isn't what I fear
What is when the flame spread
Don't like ideas inside my head
What we say is what we do
When the fire comes down on you
Don't start what you can't end
I'd be nice but I can't pretend
Where there's smoke there's fire
Where there's smoke there's fire
Where there's smoke there's fire
Where there's smoke there's fire
Where there's smoke there's fire
Where there's smoke there's fire
Where there's smoke there's fire
Where there's smoke there's fire
There is fire... There is fire... There is fire
4. It's Happening Today
Riots in the streets - it's happening today
Torture, Murder, Death - it's happening today
Starvation everywhere - it's happening today
People running scared - it's happening today
Close your eyes
Don't ask why
Don't you try
It's out of sight, it's out of...
Give the streets command - it's happening today
Poisons kill the land - it's happening today
Acid from the sky - it's happening today
Rivers running dry - it's happening today
Don't look back
We're on crack
The future's black
You can turn your back
And you get stabbed
It's happening today
It's happening today
It's happening today
It's happening today
Close your eyes
Don't ask why
Don't you try
It's out of sight, it's out of mind
5. Chip On My Shoulder
Walking around and all I see
Druggies and alkies all around me
Blowing their smoke in my face
Talking to me from outer space
Go to the square and they ask me
To buy for them or smoke some weed
Tell them to fuck off - go away
They say I've got a problem
Yeah, I got a chip on my shoulder
Chip on my shoulder
Chip on my shoulder
Chip on my shoulder
Chip on my shoulder
Chip on my shoulder
Chip on my shoulder
Hanging around of a Friday night
Shithead always getting into fights
I'm fed up with all of you
But there's nothing I can do
Go to the square and they ask me
To buy for them or smoke some weed
Tell them to fuck off - go away
They say I've got a problem
Yeah, I got a chip on my shoulder
Chip on my shoulder
Chip on my shoulder
Chip on my shoulder
Chip on my shoulder
Chip on my shoulder
Chip on my shoulder
Chip on my shoulder
Chip on my shoulder
Walking around and all I see
Druggies and alkies all around me
Blowing their smoke in my face
Talking to me from outer space
Go to the square and they ask me
To buy for them or smoke some weed
Tell them to fuck off - go away
They say I've got a problem
Yeah, I got a chip on my shoulder
Chip on my shoulder
Chip on my shoulder
Chip on my shoulder
Chip on my shoulder
Chip on my shoulder
Chip on my shoulder
Chip on my shoulder
Chip on my shoulder
Knock it off!
6. Moment Of Truth
You hide behind every reason, behind a pack of lies
You think we all buy what you sell
So the way you live your life isn't everything you want
So you make up the life you want to tell
Moment of truth
Moment of truth
Moment of truth
You make up lots of stories
You make up lots of tales
But you don't know what through these angry eyes
Just once in your life, can you tell what is what
Instead of handing us the lies
Moment of truth
Moment of truth
Moment of truth
Moment of truth
Moment of truth
Moment of truth
Moment of truth
Moment of truth
Moment
Moment
Moment
Moment... of truth!
7. Killing Frost
It was summertime
Just another day
Could have been October as the cold wind hit the bay
You couldn't know
What you meant to me
The feeling felt so close, I couldn't let you see
But now you're a stranger
Your eyes seem so cold
This is the time to break what couldn't be sold
What we said we made brothers
But still, the end would come
But the end wasn't the finish
What we said wasn't done
Killing frost
Killing frost
Killing frost
Killing frost
This winter time goes on and on and on
This killing frost is deep inside of me
What to say
Does it have to mean this much
Or can we just shrug and laugh it off
Laughing time
They wipe away the wounds
But time will never remove the scars
What we said we made brothers
But still, the end would come
But the end wasn't the finish
What we said wasn't done
Killing frost
Killing frost
Killing frost - Is all that's left
What we said we made brothers
But still, the end would come
But the end wasn't the finish
What we said wasn't done
Killing frost
Killing frost
Killing frost
Killing frost
Killing frost
Killing frost
Killing frost
8. The Same Mistake
Tried to get it right
Tried to get it right
But I made the same mistake
I made the same mistake
Tried to get it right
Tried to get it right
But I made the same mistake
I made the same mistake
Everything I say
And everything I do
Comes out wrong in the end
Wrong in the end
Everything I say
And everything I do
Comes out wrong in the end
Wrong in the end
I don't know what to do
Cause I can't get over you
Tried to get it right
Tried to get it right
But I made the same mistake
I made the same mistake
Tried to get it right
Tried to get it right
But I made the same mistake
I made the same mistake
Everything I say
And everything I do
Comes out wrong in the end
Wrong in the end
Everything I say
And everything I do
Comes out wrong in the end
Wrong in the end
I don't know what to do
Cause I can't get over you
I don't know what to do
Cause I can't get over you
9. Might Makes Right
You can take your ideas and throw them out the door
'Cause we don't give a shit, who they're fuckin for
We like our ideas and we put them in your head
And if you don't like it, you're gonna wind up dead
It's me, let's be
That's right, let's fight
Might makes right
Might makes right
It's me, let's be
That's right, let's fight
Might makes right
Might makes right
You can take your ideas and throw them out the door
'Cause we don't give a shit, who they're fuckin for
We like our ideas and we put them in your head
And if you don't like it, you're gonna wind up dead
It's me, let's be
That's right, let's fight
Might makes right
Might makes right
It's me, let's be
That's right, let's fight
Might makes right
Might makes right
It's me, let's be
That's right, let's fight
Might makes right
Might makes right
It's me, let's be
That's right, let's fight
Might makes right
Might makes right
10. Gilligan
Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale
A tale of a fateful trip
That started from this tropic port aboard this tiny ship
The mate with the mighty sailor man
A skipper brave and sure
But passengers that sail the day
A three hour tour
A three hour tour
The weather started getting rough
The tiny ship was tossed
If not for the courage of the fearless crew
The Minnow would be lost
The Minnow would be lost
The ship ran ashore of this uncharted isle
With Gilligan
The skipper too
The millionaire and his wife
The movie star
Professor and Mary-Anne
Here on Gilligan's Isle
