Well Runs Dry
You've been warned about this before
A blinded crowd screams out for more
Driving towards a bitter scene
A fractured class, a father's dream
Smash and grab thieves take control
They won the world, but lost their soul
Tearing down what generations made
And all the lives we gave
What will you do when the well runs dry?
And your illusion hits the ground
What will you do when the love affairs die?
Won't let you burn this house to the ground
What will you do when the well runs dry?
You've been warned about this before
Tomorrow they'll be back for more
Demonize the goose that lays
And spread around my golden eggs
A target painted on your back
No one is saved from this attack
Get in bed with diablo
And pay as you go
What will you do when the well runs dry?
And your illusion hits the ground
What will you do when the love affairs die?
Won't let you burn this house to the ground
What will you do when the shroud falls away
The cover is blown, the mystery solved
What will you do when the well runs dry?
It wasn't long ago, live in color
when history showed it's darker side
Made it crystal clear
We must avenge the ones who died
But the lure of power stole your soul
Ambition exposed the radicals
Stand with us or stand with them
You've made your choice - to fall
Sea of Tranquility
Smashing through the skies tonight
At light speed - your voices carry me
Come in under the radar, a top secret flight
I'll take my place in history
But I just want to swim tonight
In your Sea of Tranquility
I just want to spend all night
In your Sea of Tranquility
Moved by the spirit of those who destroy
Pushed beyond the red line
Armed with a prayer and my high tech toys
Remember this for a lifetime
But I just want to swim tonight
In your Sea of Tranquility
I just want to spend all night
In your Sea of Tranquility
Send me, help me
Fly through this great storm alone
Hungry courage echoes
Through this fever zone
My life turned upside down
For all who I defend
It won't be long until they
All hate us again

Feet to the Fire
And you don't remember feeling like this before
Kinda sick inside, from fighting your own private war
Don't wanna hear about compromise
While this resistence intensifies
Put a fearless smile on your face
While the imposters fall from grace
And you don't remember shouting this loud before
The saps got duped, and rolled by a Trojan horse
There should be a test before the vote
No more reason to sugarcoat
All the wasted punks that brought here
Make the old blood disappear
We'll hold your feet to the fire
Your face on permanent display
We'll hold your feet to the fire
This time you're not gonna go your own way
You don't remember driving this fast before
They got a good head start by giving away the store
Perfect time to drop the dead weight
And the promises that intoxicate
It's a bluff you call every time
We get blamed, but it's their crime
We'll hold your feet to the fire
Your face on permanent display
We'll hold your feet to the fire
Sellouts will fall today
You're there to score my desire
We put you in, we'll take you out
We'll hold your feet to the fire
Fire
Who will you now believe
In a moment of clarity
Spot a sellout in your sleep
Shed their red skin like a snake
Your radar up and wide awake
Will you leave this place better than you found it
Will you lead this race with enemies surrounded
It's such a simple thing, it's not a point of view
Will you let go of a failed design
This ain't '69 anymore
Cover for Me
I'm just makin' it up as I go along
Sayin' one thing doing another
Makin' it up as I go along
And all my media stooges
Cover for me, they cover for me
Ask me any question, I've got all the answers
I just keep blaming the guy before me
Crowds are overflowing, I've got all the dancers
Hey it's official, I'm the chosen
Look! No hands on the wheel
Drive Off the cliff, my God - is this real?
Makin' it up as I go along
Sayin' one thing doing another
Makin' it up as I go along
And all the drones on the tube
They cover for me, they cover for me
Suckers calling my name, every day a con game
Thugs of the world laugh their asses off at me
I've got all your pictures
And I know how to use 'em
We're the ones we've been waiting for
Get a thrill you'll never forget
Down your leg, up your pants
Straight to your wallet
Makin' it up as I go along
Sayin' one thing doing another
Makin' it up as I go along
And all the slugs and the duped
They faint for me
Pitch a tent for me
They get wood for me
What a sweet historic day
No resistance, no delay
I won't waste your suffering
In my eyes it's a good thing
No, don't ask me where I'm from
Please don't ask me who I know
Just forget what my friends do
'cause this is change for me and you
Gotta get some more skin in the game
You know it's never gonna be the same
