Bedlam Crisis

Money train got the leaders jumping

Foreign soil is where their forward bound

It’s the food we need for lavish buildings

Foreign blood is seeping all around

Watch it fall as if it we’re our own home

Watch it fall as if it we’re our nest

Squabbling squatting spitting now their fighting

Home sweet home I wish you all the best

Say something (I’d die if I did just trying)

Save something (I could if I would just lying)

Wave something (If only I could abiding)

We’re drowning (I’ll tell you the truth now but)

Born and bread now we’re only fed

Talk too much they’ll put you behind bars

Morning bird the dawn of day is calling

Only want it back because it’s ours

Solo*

Say something (I’d die if I did just trying)

Save something (I could if I would just lying)

Wave something (If only I could abiding)

We’re drowning (I’ll tell you the truth now but)

(Say something) I’d die if I did just trying

(Save something) I could if I would just lying

(Wave something) If only I could abiding

(We’re drowning) I’ll tell you the truth now but

Before You Fall

What is it in this world we see?

When we’re always under someone else’s feet for free

Take a day job & jam at night

Yeah, we always end up where the red suits want to fight

Sally rather read a book or cook

Cause tomorrow she’s got to entertain a crook

I say you better do this now

Before you end up pushing pennies or you end up falling down

Falling Down

Little baby just like you and me

Got to work for every penny just to fuel their greed

Suits there trying to look polite

Yeah there sitting there capping everything that’s right

Are you watching tell me what is next

When that little kid has to sacrifice his legs

While your prancing in your tux and gowns

Yeah there is any better than to see you falling down

Falling Down

Falling, Falling, Falling, Falling, Falling Down

So listen this is what I’ll say

It’s the better choice to take this every day by day

You know that I’ve been trough it too

Till my skin has turned to metal knowing who is who

Do it right and just do it pure

Yeah it’s the only thing you’ll have when they come through your door

Have it turning up and down and around

So they can’t take a picture of your poor self falling down

Falling Down

Falling, Falling, Falling, Falling, Falling Down

Blank Van Gogh

He, he had his dreams

Had his hopes

He had his needs

They didn’t see

I, I have my plans

Have my thoughts

Have my Faith

They don't need

An empty canvas sits on the floor

No one sees it or cares to know

What was he feeling, why was it bear?

Why does it matter, when they don't care?

Oh, oh, oh

He is no more

Blank Van Gogh

You, you’ll never see

That it's hard

To be free

When you have an artist’s soul to feed

Have you ever thought?

Of the cause

For it's end

Or you just let it bleed?

Oh, oh, oh,

When I'm no more

Blank Van Gogh

Boys And Toys

Black trench look away

Someone has a toy and their walking your way

Where did he get it from?

Anyone can buy it just as long it’s for fun

Gee that’s a stupid rule

Cause now it’s ended up in the hands of a mad fool

Now he’s got a sure excuse

If he lives to tell his tale he’ll just mention it’s free use

No toys, no deaths, shoot off your toys in one place

Here’s one suggestion now

Why don’t you limit all your toys to the scene of a range?

Leave it there, don’t take it home

If everybody else did then you won’t be alone

Raise the age for carrying heat

Cause the zeros in the media can’t even stand on their own feet

Are you blind or you just like the power?

Try me fist to fist and not a sissy trigger

Solo*

You’re a zero not a hero in the end

You’re just saying you are mad and not a man

You’ll be forgotten because they’ll want to forget

Not even close to a hero cause you’re dead

Come With Me

Come with me and I’ll bring you there

Come with me and remember to forget

I’ll take you where the streams are gold

I’ll take you where we’ll never be old

It is at this place where no one will find us

It is at this place where no one could hinder

Then as you lay upon my chest

Your heart will be free

Your mind will rest

Come with me darling

I'll take you there

We'll sing our songs of life in sweet caress

We’ll run through fields of pink feathers

To a place no one will ever find

To a place made only for you and I

Solo

Where Time is free as it stands still

We'll sit on candy covered windmills

Where we will defy gravity

Where we'll rest in peaceful reality

I’ll show you my mind

I’ll show you my soul

Where streams spew gold

Where new memories will unfold

Come with me darling

We'll kiss the morning

We'll sing our songs of life in sweet caress

We’ll run through fields of pink feathers

To a place no one will ever find

To a place made only for you and I

Come with me

Give me a chance

For this chance is but free

This chance is but me

Diamond Darling

Darling, you're my sun filled sky

I see you everywhere I go

Darling, you’re my wings when I yearn to fly

And I can't ask for any more

You heed your love for your dear, Mother

Give love and patience to your, Father

Dear, you're a diamond to your brother

Don't stop the gifts

Don't stop the love

Don't give up hope you feel inside

Darling, with a heart that's shining bright

Don't worry now, just do what's right

Solo...

You'll always be that little girl

Whose got to face this horrid world

Dear look inside you, there's a pearl

Those happy times

Memories that shine

You're doing fine, just give it time

Darling, I may not boast that much time

But I'll be there until I’m flying

Darling, you may not now understand

But when I’m there I'll hold your hand

And when I’m near I'll be your friend

Dear when I’m here I'll be your man

E minor Blues

Hey people won't you tell me why do you look so sad?

Hey boy won't you tell me why do you feel so bad?

Yeah sitting here just looking helpless, Oh wish I could fix that

See my dear family, oh lord I love them so

See my dear friend’s mama, I wish there were something I could do

Oh this darn here feeling, I think I'll write the E minor blues

Oh my, it's breaking

Got to go back home

Such a mighty pity that more wives are alone

I say, Hey dear lady

I saw it on the news

So since we can't change nothing

Oh I’ll sing the E minor blues

Solo* (Take it away spirit)

One more time, like how they used to

Turn on the TV

Same old story

Music's on ice and now they want all the glory

I say dear friend, you'd better forget about them; and burn that there loose

Because all we can do is live a life that's happy, oh and when you're down; think of the E minor; blues

For Us To Mould

Well love is strong and it unites

But every now and then we make mistakes

That’s where things get a little rocky

And the good things that we’ve mended tend to break

Misunderstandings are out of our control

And hopefully we can forget them when we’re old

Cause if we hold this foolish grudge

The pain will be too much

And the future that our unborn children hold, will be too cold, for us to mould

For us to mould

It’s a simple task

We can let it rest

Underneath we’ll see

Their like you and me

Friends and Family

Have their reasons too

Don’t let faulty days

Get the best of you

Although the chains will hold us down

Sometimes within the links our friends are found

There’s always jealousy around

But you can’t let it stand out so profound

Then you might suddenly feel the hit

But that’s the way it is before we know it

If we hold this foolish grudge

The pain will be too much

And the future that our unborn children hold, will be too cold, for us to mould

For us to mould

Solo*

Then you might suddenly feel the hit

But that’s the way it is before we know it

Misunderstandings are out of our control

And hopefully we can forget them when we’re old

But If we hold this foolish pride

The pain will stay inside

And the future that our unborn children hold, will be too cold, for us to mould

For us to mould

Hall Of Ceremonies

It is a city floating on the ocean water

It is a landscape filled with masquerade and glee

And if you watch the little boats that float forever

You’ll be blessed with pure emotion if you rest your soul you’ll see

At the Hall of Ceremonies you may mingle in disguise

At the Hall of Ceremonies nothing comes as a surprise

The water’s edge is filled with history and wonders

The candle light reflects like stars beneath your feet

As I ask to take my bride out from her lady’s quarters

Under moonlight our hearts will finally meet and wonder free

At the Hall of Ceremonies you may mingle in disguise

At the Hall of Ceremonies nothing comes as a surprise

At the Hall of Ceremonies you may celebrate with lies

At the Hall of Ceremonies you will cast away demise

Solo

At the Hall of Ceremonies you may mingle in disguise

At the Hall of Ceremonies nothing comes as a surprise

Hold on

As we pay our visit now

Hold on

As we pass

Tonight the moon will light the narrow path we travel

And past the river bridge where you and I first met

City lamps will light up beads embedded in the gravel

Where we’ll walk upon to reach the ceremony at its peak

At the Hall of Ceremonies you may mingle in disguise

At the Hall of Ceremonies nothing comes as a surprise

At the Hall of Ceremonies you may celebrate with lies

At the Hall of Ceremonies you will cast away demise

Hold on, as we pay our visit now

Hold on, as we pass this ancient town

Hold on, as we pay our visit now

Hold on, as we pass

My Masterplan

I’ve got a master plan

Could you please lend a hand?

I know it’s quite unique

This one’s for you and me

We’ve got to keep this low

Don’t anybody blow

This cover way up high

Don’t want this scheme to die

We wait for cloak of night

They’ll have the biggest fright

We’ll catch them way off guard

We’ll make it look like art

Once we have succeeded

We’ll have them eat the dirt

We’ll get our efforts worth

Give it back to Mother Earth

They won’t have their control

Over what we have sold

And no restrictions too

No more unseen pay dues

No more unfair contracts

To go into their bags

By taking back what’s ours

We’ll represent our cause

Solo

Palaruvi

Blue Ice the backdrop of your stage

Green is the warmth of your embrace

And as I touch the rocks so cold

Your water still will calm my soul

Feel the rush of its mighty pour

I feel my worries are no more

Standing there and celebrate your cleanse

I walk away with my new stance

Dear Palaruvi I bid you goodbye

My visit here has altered my life

So till the next time that we meet

I have the strength to stand on stronger feet

Paul Black

Look at him Bob, He's suave isn't he

I'm getting inferior just watching him walk in

Looking mighty fine in that black velvet Blazer

Check out those shoes

Oh my, that's some fine polished city leather

He's got some sharp features and some side-burns to match

I bet any lady here's bound to call him a catch

He's got to go

“Hey Polly come here a minute what's up with that guy?”

Polly said she doesn't know but he's just new in town and she finds him real fly

Said she heard rumors that he's some kind of spiritual

But Polly sure don't care because his charisma is factual

Joe said he's black magic, but I don't believe in that

I'll show him some magic, pull a rabbit out of my hat, ha-ha

Old Man Willow says us boys best be minding our own business

I say lets go over there, make him feel mighty helpless

Sweet Jesus (Oh goodness), I din know that boy can fight like that

Oh Shit (Oh gosh), here he comes again to finish us off

He’s got a swing strong enough to knock out a wolf pack

Damn asshole (gangster) almost broke my back

Then he's says as he leans over, "Hear my name boys, remember it, it's Paul Black".

Some-Times I Recall

I could be walking across the road

And life is done with a passing car

I could be laughing at your jokes

And then at night cry on my guitar

But that's life and just you'll see

That it's happening to me

And I'm the fool

So now the time has come to choose

To pick a path you'll never lose

I understand your hardships friend

Have faith it'll work out in the end

That's just life and it takes time

It's the same for you and I

We'll see it through

So I'll just do the things in life I want to do

And every now and then remind myself of you

Little child

Solo

Sometimes when you're all drained out and you feel you're going to burn

It is only through this we will learn

Believe in yourself dear one your dreams are yours to keep

In time these dreams are what we will need

So I'll just do the things in life I want to do

And every now and then remind myself of you

Little child

But that’s life and just you'll see

That it's happening to me

Thump & Clap

We’ve got our own sweat and days at work to bear

Life happens like this when we’re stationed right out there

So take this remedy when you feel like giving up

There is no price to put on this one but it work when you’re fed up

With a thump and clap

We’ll throw our troubles in the sack

With a thump and clap

There is nothing that we lack

With a thump and clap

We’ll throw our troubles in the sack

With a thump and clap

There is nothing that we lack

Think of your loved ones when you feel like it’s the end

Think of the good times you can have when you get back

Spend a few moments of your life and play your tune

Cause the music’s going to calm you and the beat will rock you too

With a thump and clap

We’ll throw our troubles in the sack

With a thump and clap

There is nothing that we lack

With a thump and clap

We’ll throw our troubles in the sack

With a thump and clap

Freddie, we thank your soul for that

Solo

Why must we see the bad side of it

When everything around is made of gold

Who commands us to suffer in fear

When we know we haven’t sold our souls (Change Chords)

Can’t you tell it is the age of revolution?

To see it spiralling up from below

It’s the time to take the road out of hear

And take it anywhere it brings us (Compound chords)

Anywhere it brings us we go

With a thump and clap

We’ll throw our troubles in the sack

With a thump and clap

There is nothing that we lack

Unknown Funky

I had a vision that came today

Time is growing old as I'm turning grey

So I asked GOD come save my soul

He told me son, you have asked, now be told

You have this gift in your soul

You make use of it now

It's going to change it for some

So you must use it somehow

I've given you this gift

Ever since you were born

Stop asking why and let your gift shine, your gift shine, your gift shine on

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh yeah

Solo*

So now the time has come to change my ways

I’ve got to do this for the benefit of brighter days

I’ve had this thing going to for oh so long

And so I’ll put it to use that’s when I’ve written this song

I have this gift in my soul

I’ll make use of it now

It's going to change it for some

So I must use it somehow

You’ve given me this gift

Ever since I were born

Stop asking why and let my gift shine, my gift shine, my gift shine on

Oh, Oh, Oh yeah

Solo 2*

You have this gift in your soul

You make use of it now

It's going to change it for some

So you must use it somehow

I've given you this gift

Ever since you were born

Stop asking why and let your gift shine, let it shine, let it shine on

Oh, Oh, Oh yeah

Vanity Label

Whoa Hoah, Yeah heah

My happenings and childhood dreams

Were fused to whatever it seemed

They formed a path for the perfect one

You took the spotlight shone it well

Conjured up this embryonic spell

I had fallen for at just a glance

You laid the rules down at your feet

Watching as I'd choke or start to bleed

For you this case has been before

And as I fell down to my knees

Screaming, shouting, begging please

You jerked the chain, leaned over and you whispered this to me

I know the game I know it well

And it seems amusing that you could tell

Hush little one it's getting late

And if we're absent they'll close the gates

Whoa Hoah, Yeah heah

So now it stares at me

The choice to stay or flee

I know I can only do it all at once

I take a deep breath cut the chains

Feel the blood returning to my veins

My wings they arch above me again

And as I see you lying there

I cry to touch your velvet hair

As I hold the key above your throat

I know this is the thing to do

To break this captive world of you

I’m sorry but as you rose I spoke

And I said...

I know the game I know it well

And it seems amusing you couldn’t tell

Hush little one this will be fast

This is goodbye to you at last

Solo*

What’s Done Is Gone

I see a Father who must do what he has to, to lend a hand

I see a Mother who will cry to see him leave their family land

But in this world we face those who defy the human race, hell yeah

I see a child who knows not repercussions he will face, hell yeah

And as the flames grow up around him he has only but one goal

He peeks a picture of his family and he keeps it to his soul

But as she airs their clothes below the line she falls down to her knees

Hell Yeah! Hell Yeah! Hell Yeah!

The memories of their past fall down from trees in painted velvet leaves

Hell Yeah! Hell Yeah! Hell Yeah!

Solo

And as the flames grow up around him he has only but one goal

He peeks a picture of his daddy and he prays for his Father's soul

What's done is gone

But we must move on

And we shall stand strong

You Don’t Know What You’re Doing

They say the best years of your life are to be free

But you don't know what you're doing

They say you don't know what you're doing

You know you've got the ready groove to move your feet

They think you don't know what you're doing

No you don't know what you're doing

In this life there will be the ones who seem so cold

But they don't have the social skills so I've been told

Don't worry bout the things that you can't fix today

Just keep your focus on your goals along the way

You have your own brain I can see and tell you use it well

You do your own thing knowing when to hold on for a swell

We never bothered them but then still they have a lot to say

So I say wipe them off, put your hands in your pockets, turn around and just walk away

But when trip yourself, you hurt your health, or you lose control

They'll come a running, round the bend, to say I told you so

You'll have to take it like a soldier once it's said and done

Don't leave any room for nonsense live life just the way you want

They say the best years of your life are to be free

But you don't know what you're doing

They say you don't know what you're doing

You tie the laces of the shoes on your feet

They think you don't know what you're doing

No you don't know what you're doing

Solo*

But when trip yourself, you hurt your health, or you lose control

They'll come a running, round the bend, to say I told you so

You'll have to take it like a soldier once it's said and done

Don't leave any room for nonsense live life just the way you want

They say the best years of your life are to be free

But you don't know what you're doing

They say you don't know what you're doing

You know you've got the ready groove to move your feet

They think you don't know what you're doing

No you don't know what you're doing

You’ve Got It Here

Each passing strip of white on black

Reminds me not to look back

Ahead I see the true unknown

This road will be my new found home

I got to run

I got to run away

You’ve got to learn

You’ve got to find your way

You have the whole world within your grasp

You’ve got it here

We have the future upon our laps

Dear, don’t you fear

With every new soul you’ll meet

Your mind will broaden as they speak

Life’s like an ever growing class

Drift off and it will pass you fast

I got to run

I got to run away

You’ve got to learn

You’ve got to find your way

Solo*

Live life this is your only chance

Remember it only happens once

And when you’re lying on that bed

You’ll know you did it all and it’s worth it

Regards and lots of love,

Brandon.
