I’m rolling through the world A colossal tidal wave Better carry what you can Cause it’s all that you’ll save
I’ve searched so long Across the oceans so mighty Now I’ve swept up the love Of the goddess Aphrodite
The light of the world It ceases to shine Now from the destruction She’s all mine
Far from the land Rolling in the deep Till the end of time She’s mine to keep
Oh mama sail away with me Float to the bottom of the rolling seas Ill keep you far from the tidal waves
I’m coming back down From the Olympic mountain Been bathing my body In the youthful fountain
There’s nothing in this place That I wouldn’t sacrifice For the touch of your love I’d pay the ultimate price
Oh mama sail away with me Float to the bottom of the rolling seas Ill keep you far from the tidal waves
Oh mama sail away with me Float to the bottom of the rolling seas Ill keep you far from the tidal waves
Startin the war, keeping the peace, it’s our decision today Bombin the children, dronin the women, the American way Now you sit and you hear what they’re saying to you Kind of sad, kind of sad, it’ll give you the blues But do you know when you’re sittin and they’re watching you Safe and sound tucked away in your room lookin at stuff that mama wouldn’t approve
They’re watching you
Oy oy oy oy oy They were singin oy oy oy oy oy They were shoutin oy oy oy oy oy They were screamin
Get home from working overtime Hit the tube and I try to unwind Then I realize it just numbs my mind Oh someone save us, someone save us
Woke up with a really bad fever
It’a killed me in the days of old,
Winter’s coming and it’s scouts are among us,
King and Queen and they’re staring down at me,
Probably cuz I stole their gold,
Lookin’ down and I know that they’ll find me, OOh don’t know where to go Oh don’t know what to do
Through the open window we looked today And saw our lives slipping slowly away In a long trail of wasted time The molten drips of heated steel Ticks the time away and the blood congeals Over midnight orange skies
Oh don’t know where to go Oh don’t know what to do
All the haters (keep on hatin) We’ll keep playing our (rock ‘n roll) All the ladies (keep on dancing) Sexy ladies (lose control)
We’ve taken all the words to say That the late night hours tick slowly away The ticks and tocks like jagged rocks Lines of words gave way to static As we packed our things up in the attic And took off down the road
Oh don’t know where to go Oh don’t know what to do
All the haters (keep on hatin) We’ll keep playing our (rock ‘n roll) All the ladies (keep on dancing) Sexy ladies (lose control)
Yeah they’re always talking, yeah they’re talking about All the stuff that we’ve gotta live with, and got to live without And they never know, what to do Making rules for me, making rules for you
Now they see what they want, what they take What they keep from you, oh for heavens sake Here we stand, all for one Just keeping the peace, why’d he point the gun Feelin so bad, for feeling so good When you come with your rules Always trying to tell me Like I knew you would
Takin’ pills to sleep(sleep) Takin’ pills to stay awake (stay awake) Takin’ pills to be happy Taken pills for pills sake Hair’s wet from grease, and I’m looking like Jesus(Jesus) Talk about a man, man who don’t need us Fuckin for virginity, and bombing for peace They always let us rest, but we never let them sleep
Feelin so bad, for feeling so good When you come with your rules Always trying to tell me Like I knew you wouldWHATCHA GONNA DO
Just the other day I asked the man for a buck he told me downs that I was pushing my luck working all day for a dying wage Got nothing to spend and nothing to save Ooo whatcha gonna do Ooo whatcha gonna do
Ah dance Just dance Come on baby dance Dance with me
I asked my baby for a little kiss she couldn’t refuse and I couldn’t resist I leaned slap she said “NO WAY!” save them kisses for another dayOoo whatcha gonna do Ooo whatcha gonna do
Oh dance Just dance Come on baby dance Dance with me Ah dance Come on honey dance Oh Sugar dance The night away

Saw a lonely old ghost floating through the midnight sky Said hey man did you live before you died And the answer that I didn’t anticipate Was yes but I started so damn late
Now he’s destined around this realm forever Shoulda spent more time on meaningful endeavors But he’ll rave on through the cold tonight Cause he’s got that second sight
But the weight of all his debt He filled his soul with regret
Wandering lost through all those old haunts Where the beady eyes and the seedy drifters taunt Saw Long Tall Sally dealing a crooked pair She had one glass eye and that scurvy in her hair She came from a life of gifted treasures But sought nothing save for all the wayward pleasures Now as she gambles away her last cent She’s wondering where all her money went
But with every passing bet She filled her soul with regret
Woke up and I don’t know what to do They’re coming for me and your family too A legal gang with guns that they take from you Government gangsters the rich and the few
And then it comes but no one ever wants to see Our world today is a myriad pyramid scheme Just a facade that everyone’s forced to believe American deathcamp, North American deathcamp
Now you ask what we must do A band of brothers and yes all the sisters too Fight for me because I’m gonna fight for you Or else peace and love won’t matter soon
End the wars we think we must wage Cancel the debt bankers would have us pay Stop the hate that’s ruining my day American deathcamp, North American deathcamp
Spent a long time roamin’ round the rocky hills Makin cash grab money, takin every kinda pill Fragments of a splintered soul, playin heavy rock and roll Tell me now baby which way you gonna go
Flitter of a glimmer, corner of your eye Linger of the ghosts from the days gone by Light of the cool breeze, shakin’ through my loose knees Fallin’ from the sky, always wonder why
Tilt my head back and then I know I’m going down the rabbit hole Tilt my head back and then I know I’m going down the rabbit hole Mad as a hatter Mad as can be Mad as hatter Mad as can be
Sing loud on the Eastern rampart, the morning comes Look now to the Northern mountains, now they’re under the walls Beleaguered, on the gates of summer The dragons fume falls upon the veil, alright now Ekthalion, your sacrifice was true You slew Gothmog the Balrog, but he did the same to you The defense was valiant, but the dark Lord had the day And through the hidden pass, Erendiel got away
