THE ALMIGHTY LYRICS

1. Galvanize

[Warwick]

I grew up in a small town
Dreaming of how to burn it down

I grew up in a small town
Dreaming of how to burn it down
So many ideas so little memory
Gonna smash and defy cause it's a wonderful lie

Sent my intentions to the intended
There's living proof life can be different
I gotta control the state I'm in
It's evolution baby, you got start to begin

[Pre chorus]
And I couldn't wait to get away
Yeah, I couldn't wait to break out
Surfing the waves of social paranoia
Sometimes I fell that I wanna go back
Cause...

[Chorus]
Somebody sucking the life out of me
All I want is my miss spent truth
Galvanized

Don't kid yourself that it's all you got
Do you believe in, in what you want
The only easy days are yesterdays
Feeling all alone in the twilight zone

[Pre chorus]
And I couldn't wait to get away
Yeah, I couldn't wait to break out
Surfin' the waves of my final destination
Sometimes I feel that I wanna go back

Galvanize

I've got selective amnesia
I've got selective amnesia
I wanna be legend in my own ego
I've got selective amnesia

[Chorus]

2. 427 Freak Horsepower

[Warwick]

You think you look like Che Guevarra
Because your girlfriend says you do
You talk about the language of power
You not paranoid everybody does hate you

[Pre chorus]
Do ya, do ya melt in the sunshine
Do ya, do ya melt in the sun

[Chorus]
Maybe I was wrong but hey man I could have sworn
You won't be what you are
You think you look like Che Guevarra
427-Freak horsepower

You got those persecution complexes
You an enemy of compromise
Do I have to write it down to show you
You never go anywhere without your lies

[Pre chorus]
Do ya, do ya melt in the sunshine
Do ya, do ya melt in the sun

[Chorus]
Maybe I was wrong but hey man I could have sworn
You won't be what you are
You think you look like Che Guevarra
427-Freak horsepower

3. Ruse

[Warwick]

Goos, guns, junk, gasoline
Love, hate, sex, Dexedrine
Crack, Jesus, eluis, alienation
Guitar, cadillacs, Detroit, stimulation

I'll give you a war you wont believe
You'll tell yourself your dreaming
I'll give you a war you wont believe
You'll tell yourself your dreaming

Cops, priests, hostlers, scoring
Death, power, lust, glory
UK, Ulster, Honduras, Havana
Nam, Afghanistan, Nicaragua, Guatemala

I'll give you a war you wont believe
You'll tell yourself your dreaming
I'll give you a war you wont believe
You'll tell yourself your dreaming

[Chorus]
Stay committed to the consequences
Strongest link in the weakest defences
All American napalm stars
Checkin' out their resume of scars

4. Soul On A Roll

[Parsons]

Scrape me off the ceiling
Flawed by the way you're feeling
Get me up to bring me down
Suspended animation
Go save your own creation
Your kisses sting the godless mouth

[Bridge]
Bang my head can't get no rest
Some days God my God I'm blessed
I broke your face, cracked up my smile
The teeth are grinding all the while

[Chorus]
Soul on a roll on a roll and a rockin'
Soul on a roll on a roll on a roll

Built up like an ordeal
I guess we deal what you feel
Turn it on to turn me down
Simple blind ambition
One more less addiction
Your face just wears this picture out

[Bridge]
Bang my head can't get no rest
Some days God my God I'm blessed
I broke your face, cracked up my smile
The teeth are grinding all the while

[Chorus]
Soul on a roll on a roll and a rockin'
Soul on a roll on a roll on a roll

Crash and burn
Stand in line, you get your turn
Hell deserves, waiting for you

5. Begging

[Warwick/James]

Blood stains the walls
The animals scream why
Pre determined history
Reverberating lies
Remove the veil of innocence
And down a new disguise
The gun said the father
Was begging just to die

Did burden backhand vanity
Cause I really wanna know
If a moments loss of sanity
Is eternity control
Unwanted adulation
No reason to survive
The gun said the father
Was begging just to die

[Chorus]
Begging
Mercy please he was begging
Begging
For release he was begging

Silence for a encore
To late to repent
See an evil and hear nothing
Anonymous again
Down falls the curtain
We slowly wave good bye
The gun said the father
Was begging just to die

[Chorus]
Begging
Mercy please he was begging
Begging
For release he was begging

What use are promises
When you crawling all over the lies
Don't worry about heaven or hell
Cause everybody's got a ball eyes

6. Hate The World

[Parsons]

Dark daze, in a dark place, need to get loaded up
On a diet of fantasied
Long face in a sad place, sink another wish again
the t.v.s. a Babylon suicide
So we take, yeah we hate and the fake pulp fiction
Is the story of our lives, erase with eyes glazed
Wrapped up in celluloid

[Chorus]
Gotta get a message to you
The other side keeps breaking on through
Gotta get a message to you
In time you'll learn to hate the world
That hates you

Doesn't matter if don't wanna make
A conversation, about an alien invasion
Small talk from a small corner
Where lost sanity's a game
We never get to playing
So we break, what we make and the fake pulp fiction
Is the story of our lives
Erase with eyes glazed, hung up on celluloid

[Chorus]
Gotta get a message to you
The other side keeps breaking on through
Gotta get a message to you
In time you'll learn to hate the world
That hates you

7. Waiting For Earthquakes

[Warwick]

Sat up talkin' late last night
About 69 and who was right
About rock' n' roll and yesterday
About U.F.O.'s, John Lennon and the C.I.A.
Americans blue eyed green eyed best
What you hears not what you get
And if the air don't smell like gasoline
Don't go digging the dirt to keep your conscience clean

[Chorus]
Smiling Irish eyes
Yankee stars and stripes
Back home to where it's safe
To spend your life waiting for earthquakes

Send the unbelievers straight to hell
Don't treat us like Charles Manson out on bail
Gods own city to old New York
Your so sad cause you never saw a gun
And never got shot

[Chorus]
Smiling Irish eyes
Yankee stars and stripes
Back home to where it's safe
To spend your life waiting for earthquakes

So dry your eyes and just wise up
Those ulterior motives are not enough
Cause T.V. lies like T.V. could
Make those troubles seem
Just like Hollywood

[Chorus]
Smiling Irish eyes
Yankee stars and stripes
Back home to where it's safe
To spend your life waiting for earthquakes

Get your culture sorted out
Na na na na na na na

8. If I Knew What I Wanted

[Warwick]

Your young enough forever
Stealing song from the radio
Saturdays sins comes in bottles
Standing there in your defiant pose
Up against the ceiling
Kick out the scams and were ready to go

We just wanna smash something new
Instead of feeling like somebody else's excuse

[Chorus]
If I knew what I wanted
Then I'd go out and get it
If I knew what I wanted today

And now I thinking it over
Sad eyes on a smiling face
We kind of missed the meaning
going back just to prove that we left the place

Just trying to get the feeling again
Instead of staying bitter until the bitter end

[Chorus]
If I knew what I wanted
Then I'd go out and get it
If I knew what I wanted today

If I knew what I needed
Then I'd go out and steal it
If I knew what I need today

Why don't you stay until there's nothing left
Wish all the luck in the world with a capital
I hope your feeling less confused
But I still don't know what I'm supposed to say

9. 7 X

[Warwick]

Smash the place we need more room
We're trying hard to stay amused
The walls are closing in again
Just accept the newsmars views
To many freaks not enough circuses
Start the future with the past
Your may last saviour on a pissed up night
I own you nothing I never have
Skinflicks, Quickfix
Nobody's gonna hear you when you screaming the truth
In defiance, sex or violence
Guts for sale, I'll take whatever you got now

[Pre chorus]
Do I have to spell it out
Whats the difference whats the point
Starting a fight while defending the faith
Cause nobody knows what to save

Sabotaged heads blasting expecultations
We shot off everything that counts
A salvo of social masturbation
Always spot on at missing the point
Gimme something to keep me trying
Gimme something to see me through
Please take into consideration
You stole everything I wanted too
Skinflicks, Quickfix
Nobody's gonna hear you when you screaming the truth
In defiance, sex or violence
Guts for sale, I'll take whatever you got now

[Pre chorus]
Do I have to spell it out
Whats the difference whats the point
Starting a fight while defending the faith
Cause nobody knows what to save

[Chorus]
Gotta strikeout
Strikeout
Strikeout it's all right
Stop trying to rescue everyone

10. Big Idea Idiot

[Parsons]

Tell me something, something good
I can believe in
Your on our side and well fight
For the smell of victory
Big ideas, little idiots like to think so
Keep on talking, sell the world
Another hero maybe right could be wrong
Where begging to believe it

[Bridge]
Conversation turned contradiction
Zero, no one left to call

[Chorus]
Big idea idiot, big idea idiot
Going on on on some more
Talking, talking, talking
Your starting war

Tell me why, why you're never
Got a reason
It's not your fault just a mess
You don't believe in it anyway
Kissing arse, you made the grade
You got the t-shirt
Hows the free ride
Hope the good life, treats you really good
So with this, take the piss
Only wanted a reaction

[Bridge]
Conversation turned contradiction
Zero, no one left to call

[Chorus]
Big idea idiot, big idea idiot
Going on on on some more
Talking, talking, talking
Your starting war

11. Mondo Balordo

[Warwick]

He got up to take u piss in the sink
She tried to wipe the bloodstains off her clothes
Those eternal sarcastic days
Bouncing off the razor sharp walls

She was a beautiful pessimist
He was a beautiful user
They live a longer life to find new excuses
Live a longer life to build your own inferno

[Chorus]
You sold your soul and broke your heart
Wondering, wondering in a cage
And you call that art

All hail the King and Queen of martyrdom
He had as our of homicide about him
She was rejected by circumstance
Each mutilated moment a full flavoured hell

Addicted to impossibility
Gonna smash up all you can wreck
Recorded and ready to explode
A wap-bap-a-lu-la-a-wap-ban-boom

[Chorus]
You sold your soul and broke your heart
Wondering, wondering in a cage
And you call that art

One on one
Just me and you

12. Blowout Kit For The Underdog

[Parsons]

I'm sitting in an angry chair
With this an angry feeling
A time bombs ticking in my head
And I'm prepared to kill you

[Bridge]
Can't wait to meet you there
Blowout this world cause I don't care
Light my fuse, ignite, ignition
Ignite my fuse and light my cigarette

To late for all your stupid tears
There gonna get you nowhere
For all the shit I took for years
The time has come to launch you

[Bridge]
Can't wait to meet you there
Blowout this world cause I don't care
Light my fuse, ignite, ignition
Ignite my fuse, tonight I'm singing

[Chorus]
Hate, hate, hate, just drop the fucking bomb now
Hate don't wait just drop 'em on down

To bad it had it come to this
The signs were there to warn you
But sadly you will not be missed
Don't think they still adore you

[Bridge]
Can't wait to meet you there
Blowout this world cause I don't care
Light my fuse, ignite, ignition
Ignite my fuse, tonight I'm singing

[Chorus]
Hate, hate, hate, just drop the fucking bomb now
Hate don't wait just drop 'em on down

13. Witness Relocation Programme

[Warwick]

Joey screamin' out my stereo
The lost art of Rock'n'Roll
I got a vision I just don't give a fuck
And I feel much better since I gave up hope

I wanna move, I wanna dance
Bossa Nova then steal my chance
I wanna go back to New York
Where the pace of decoys let's you rot
Cause
I wanna testify

Everybody's for new nostalgia
Cause memory's overrated just like dogma
I can hardly contain my indifference
As a outsider how d'ya view the human race

I wanna move, I wanna dance
Bossa Nova then steal my chance
Nothing ventured, nothing cocained
Spilling out my guts all over again
Cause
I wanna testify

When I want your opinion I'll give it to you
Sarcasm baby come on in
No virtues or possibilities
Shakin' like a liar from the truth of things
I wanna testify

14. Million Time Nothing

[Warwick]

When your in a state about nothing
Vote for nobody cause you know it makes sense
Cause nobody can do for you
What you should be doing for yourself

You got shake some action when all else falls
Their revenge is coming at you in the mail

[Chorus]
Here we go
Reversing into tomorrow
Reversing into tomorrow ow ow ow
It's a bitter lie with a little twist
Cause a million times nothing is ten time better than this

Raised into contradictions
You gotta have a motive for every reason
Sometimes you don't feel up to the highs and the lie
Perpetual motion or the confrontation

You just gotta keep on keepin' on
Climbing broken ladders until you fall

[Chorus]
Here we go
Reversing into tomorrow
Reversing into tomorrow ow ow ow
It's a bitter lie with a little twist
Cause a million times nothing is ten time better than this
