You're breaking me baby, gonna tear up my heart, and you say your smile is enough, to set me free.And now you're over my shoulder and the room it got colder, and I'm running for my life, oh baby, let me be.C'est la Vie.One more time around for me.C'est la Vie.Baby you know you've got to let your lover free.I see that my lover's never there for me, and she's killing me dead, she walks away scott free.Left me laying face down on the ground and I hear her heals as they walk her ass outta town.C'est la Vie.One more time around for me.C'est la Vie.Baby you know you've got to let your lover be.


C'est la Vie

The Clock Stopped

At the faster speed you'll feel the need as your passion leads to play
Spin around till the needle goes down, but you move to fast to say
Fracking me, looting me, blessing me, shooting me, now everybody wants to win
Now the faces in the crowd start screaming too loud and we let the war begin.

Chorus
Did you pick the perfect ending?  Did you pick the perfect time?
Did you say the world is ending?  Did you swallow all your lies?
The times come for the people to take their passion back.  
Cause you lie, to save yourself.
Cause it's one two three and our minds are now free and you're coming back
Cause you lie, to save yourself.

You tell me on the phone, that I'll never be alone, I can come to you.
That the stars will always shine and you'll always be mine today.
Now there's something in the air and it's really not fair, I'm running round.
Now we're really gonna pay for the failures that come our way.

Dice down, I'm shakin on the ground, I can turn my luck my way
Act fast cause it's never gonna last, a political fact of the day
Fracking me, looting me, blessing me, shooting me, baby now, everythings in fair play
Can you come back now and not lie somehow, or will you chase my love away?
Repeat Chorus - End

Save Yourself

Pancakes and Pizza					Taco Land 
Verse I
Everyone’s talking about a different kind of danger, and that Freedom, is never Free.
Now we’re pointing our guns at a whole world of strangers, while we’re setting the bad guys free.
You close your eyes as you pull on the trigger and the smoke goes round and round
Traces of faces come shooting back at you, till you no longer hear the sound.
Chorus
So give your life to your County Boy.  No one cares just how you really fare
So give your life to your County Boy.  Red or Blue is the choice for you, don’t you care?
Verse II
There’s some molten folks full of hate, shit and danger and they won’t just let us be
But no one knows why this imminent danger keeps us all from being free
Close your eyes and stop asking question, if you want to stick around
Choose your side and pay no attention, to ideas, dreams or sounds.
Repeat Chorus – Bridge – Repeat Chorus
Verse III
You live in a box, but you might wanna see, there’s a passion to find, we call it, Liberty.
But we’re shooting at strangers and we’re shooting at sounds.  Its Pancakes and Pizza and putting on pounds.
Hand me some patience cause I wanna plant some seeds, share some love cause that’s all that I need.
But I’m hating on you and you’ve been hating on me.  Red and Blue no longer stands for Free!
No more colors for me!
I’m shooting at strangers cause they’re shooting at me and I know this life won’t set me free
The man he wants me down in the ground, but I’ll set my Soul on Fire with my Sound.
Set my Soul on Fire with my Sound.  Set my Soul on Fire with my Sound.

Roll Forever (Hands Remix)

Lyrics:
When I learned that I had a brother
I made up a dance for you
We'd be crime fighters together
and do things that brothers do
But when you told me about his mother
and all that she'd been through

What could I do 

You got it wrong but I love you 
You're kinda rough but I love you
We get along and I love you
You know you know you know I love you 

When I learned I had a sister      
I pretended to hate her
I'd seen it on TV
I knew exactly what to do

But when I found it out 
that she had her very own daughter

What could I do

You're kinda sad but I love you
You're kinda rough but I love you
We get along and I love you
You know you know you know I love you

We've got a bloodline passing through our sight lines 
We've got a bloodline, man I gotta find mine

I love you I love you I tell you that I love you
I need you I love you I really really love you
I love you I love you I tell you that I love you
I need you I love you I really really love you
I love you I love you I tell you that I love you
I need you I love you I really really love you
I love you I love you I tell you that I love you
I need you I love you I really really love you

You're kinda sad but I love you
You're kinda rough but I love you  
Maybe you're broke but I love you
I know it's stupid but I love you

You've got a bad sense of humour
A little rough around the edges 
You're kinda soft in the middle
You love those boring instrumentals

I never see you but I love you
We get along and I love you
You are my blood so i love you
You know you know you know I love you
You know you know you know I love you
You know you know you know I love you
You know you know you know I love you

I Love You
