We are the new Messiah, false profit amplifier, we've got a message for you. Here look our since proves it, unless you look into it, you'll see its just a lie. Well I thought you'd see right through it. They're making money from there hopes of men. We are all wolves in shepherds clothing, hypnotising. Selling you the answers but still leading you in. Don't listen to them! We are your sacred leaders, a message through the speakers, turn up the video feed. Cause we will twist the truth, manipulate the youth, they don't know more than me or you. Well I thought you'd see right through it. They're making money from there hopes of men. We are all wolves in shepherds clothing, hypnotising. Selling you the answers but still leading you in. Don't listen to them!

Better get yourself a predator if you want to feel safe in your home, Get an eagle, lion, alligator and you'll never feel scared or alone, They can rip a mans head clean off with the click of a finger, If your neighbours got a lion next door you better get an alligator. Having something so dangerous is a time bomb waiting to blow, Fill your bed full of razor blades, you'd expect to find some blood on the pillow. Bang bang bang "Woohoo", get a lion and you'll look so cool Get a lion and you'll so hard and you'll look cool too. How many have to die before we all change the rules, Cause when your kids get mad they like to walk it into school. Better get yourself a predator if you want to feel safe in your home, Desert eagle or a cougar magnum and you'll never feel scared or alone, They can blow a mans head clean off with the click of a trigger, If your neighbours got a lion next door you better get an alligator. Having something so dangerous is a time bomb waiting to blow, Fill your bed full of razor blades, you'd expect to find some blood on the pillow. Bang bang bang "Woohoo", get a lion and you'll look so cool Get a lion and you'll look so hard and you'll look cool too. How many have to die before we all change the rules, Cause when your kids get mad they like to walk it into school. Makes you feel so anxious in your own skin, if you're not armed you won't win, Imprison yourself in your home buy in the artillery in the land of the free Makes you feel so anxious in your own skin, if you're not armed you won't win, So you're armed to the teeth and your finger is itching, You're a killer! Just waiting for a victim.

We're too good for the radio, we never get played at all. If the world heard us like you seem to, we would be on every radio across the blue. Ignorance is bliss how can I resist, when I can play along. We're too good for the television, so good you'll never a see our faces. If the world saw us like you seem to, we would be on every poster in every room. Ignorance is bliss how can I resist, when I can play along. I can barely touch the ceiling, I will never touch the sky. But I can't help but feeling I was meant for longer arms. I will never touch the stars I'm a realistic man, but if you want to believe in something we're not, we can all play the part if you all sing along. We're too good for the radio.

Sunday O 04:14
So you can sit, sit in your cliques. Speak and conspire away from me. So insincere, whispers on the ear, "Hey I love your band, you scratch my back and I'll stab in yours". You stick to talking and I'll stick to writing the songs. You love the idea but that is all. A line up the nose, the confidence grows. You swell like a tick one more suck and you blow. You're in love with the scene, but not Rock and Roll, and you'll never break the habit cause you're lacking the soul. You stick to talking and Ill stick to writing the songs. You love the idea but that is all. I can't pretend, that it's good when its not. I'm not fooled when its wrapped up in numbers. Give me something real.

Are we all like robots, in our human clothes. Wake up every morning, go to wok, come home. Walk the roads like circuit boards, each and every day. Walk when the green man shows, stop when the red man says. Are you still breathing under that shell, forget what we are. Animals weighed down in wires and galvanised in metal. Packed on public transport, no one wants to talk. Go home to be programmed by the programmes on the box. Five days to the grind, two to help you try and find, the little pieces that are left of your life, freedoms not free it comes at a price. Are you still breathing under that shell, forget what we are. Animals weighed down in wires and galvanised in metal. This what you have to buy, this is what you have to wear, these are the programmes that you watch, this is how to do your hair. This is when to march to war, this is when you have to follow, these are the lives that we are fed and they tell you when to swallow. Are you still breathing under that shell, forget what we are. Animals weighed down in wire and galvanised in metal

Lavandero 04:02
The hospital has a laundry man. Looks down at his watch another shift is in. He hits the bar hard, thinks what he could of been. The laundry man has no interest in clothes. Has good ideas but just never imposes himself. He feels in a past life he was stronger than he is now. Grab the bull by the horns, or risk being trampled under hoof. Lavandero, lavandero charge. You're just another beast roaming free, put down you foot and guard your territory. There goes that girl that he has dreamt about. Moment of madness he goes to ask her out. Its then he glances up at the wall and catches himself in his own eyes. Then flashes of a past life coming flooding in. He was a famous bull in Spain, he feels the same blood in his veins. The beating of his heart and the sun against his skin Grab your life by the horn, or risk being trampled under foot. Lavandero, lavandero charge. You're just another beast roaming free, put down your foot and guard your territory. Stand your ground be the new man that you've found.

Its the cold that makes me feel the warmest, when its blowing a gale and its warm in our. Its the cold, that makes me feel the warmest, when its zero below and there's a furnace in my chest. Bring on the wind and the rain, burry this house in snow. You can't touch this cumulonimbus not with a tornado. Sheltered from the winds with you. Under the cover, the cosy the elephants ear. The shell of the egg, will protect us from the elements.

Threads 03:36
A breeze rolls in running from the sun, it blows your hair across, a face I know and love, I could watch you all day long. Your eyes are fixed on the book below, you're cute when you're content. It puts thing in context, what if our eyes had never met? If I saw you on the street another day would you smile and say hello? Were we always supposed to have met, are we tied by invisible thread? Reeling us in. We live so close I can see your house if we hadn't met in that bar, we would be close and yet so far, a future just yards apart. We walk side by side with our hips glued tight, we synchronise our steps, and we both laugh at what comes next what if our paths had never met? If I saw you on the street another day would you smile and say hello? Were we always supposed to have met, are we tied by invisible thread? Reeling us in. I can't believe what I've found, nothing can tare you away from me now.

You never see the day you'll gain responsibility. So much to do so much to see and all this opportunity. Assured of everything until you leave your mothers wing, nieve and innocent its not as easy as you think when you were young. Dust to dust, it's coming to all of us, our lives are on loan we are flesh and bone. And we're giving our energy back and our bodies back to the soil. Then hit the teens, they knock you side ways off your feet. You think you know so much better than the people on the street. You're mind is narrow but it will broaden as you grow. You'll crave for all the highs but you'll learn through all the lows when you were young. Dust to dust, it's coming to all of us, our lives are on loan we are flesh and bone. And we're giving our energy back and our bodies back to the soil. You never see the day when you are all old and grey, and all the thing you dreamt are either here or far away. So I'll have to pluck up all my courage and all my might, to not lie down but fight and make something of my life. When the world forgets I lived then I guess then I am dead. Have I done enough to make sure that people don't forget. Dust to dust, it's coming to all of us, our lives are on loan we are flesh and bone. And we're giving our energy back and our bodies back to the soil.
