DEFCON
03:28
|

It’s twelve and a quarter
She’s sitting there in the corner
Just your type
But she ain’t feeling tonight
Working a dead-end job
Without a guarantee
She’s ready for a fight
To start a World War Three
Oh a World War Three
Can’t you hear the countdown screaming?
Let me tell you something stay strong
That girl is at DEFCON level one
I tell you don’t get involved
I told you she’s at DEFCON level one
The ex is calling her cell
Asks her if she’s doing well
She’s gotta make the rent
But the money’s all spent
She’s a ticking bomb
You best be backing away
You wanna talk her up
She don’t need it today
Don’t need it today
Can’t you hear the countdown screaming?
Let me tell you something stay strong
That girl is at DEFCON level one
I tell you don’t get involved
What did I tell you? She's at DEFCON level one
I told you once
She don’t need no bugging
Now I told you twice
So you deserve what’s coming
Feel it coming down
On the count of
3, 2, 1
Yeah
Can’t you hear the countdown screaming?
Let me tell you something stay strong
That girl is at DEFCON level one
I warned you, now she’s dropped the bomb
Feel the fallout! It's DEFCON level one
Let me tell you something stay strong
That girl is at DEFCON level one
Pushed her buttons that’s the last straw
I warned you she’s DEFCON level one

Fireboard
03:27

Two parts gasoline
One part kerosene
Mix it up
What have you got
That’s my recipe
For total calamity
Like a movie scene
On the silver screen
Dial 9-1-1
I’ve only just begun
All along the fireboard
The lights go off, can’t be ignored
Lakeshore and Fifteen
Bathurst and West Queen
One by one
The blocks go down
A neighbourhood serene
Horns pierce the air, obscene
Blinding lights
Like the Devil’s slot machine
Dial 9-1-1
I've only just begun
All along the fireboard
The lights go off, can’t be ignored
Dial 9-1-1
I've only just begun
All along the fireboard
The calls come in, can’t be ignored
All along the fireboard
The trucks go out, ride off toward

The Blindside
04:25
|
|||
I find it happens each and every day
Don’t give a shit if things don’t go my way
It’s OK
‘Cause
We don’t care what they say
It doesn’t matter anyway
These kids just found they’re voices
Now they’re starting a fuss
Too bad for them they’ll never party with us
They’re just staring me down
I ain’t kidding around
Giving him the blindside
(Giving him the blindside)
They’re just pointing fingers
I’ve got nothing else to say
Cause everyday they’re coming at me
I’m just giving them the blindside
Sometimes I’m chilling with a girl downtown
She wants to talk, but I can’t hear a sound
We get down
And
We don’t care what they say
It doesn’t matter anyway
These kids just found they’re voices
Now they’re starting a fuss
Too bad for them they’ll never party with us
They’re just staring me down
I ain’t kidding around
Giving him the blindside
(Giving him the blindside)
They’re just pointing fingers
I’ve got nothing else to say
Cause everyday they’re coming at me
I’m just giving them the blindside
Alright it’s ShootR in the building,
And we feel welcomed back
It’s all just stupid fun, like a rap verse on a rock track
And I said that, ‘cause I meant that
And I know you’re diggin’ it now
And no, ain’t no bringin’ us down
And yo, you can sing it out loud, like
The power trio, sipping doubles, call it “six ShootR”
And we aiming for trouble, now maneuver
Rock the stage since, like, twenty-twelve
We know how to give ‘em hell
We lyric beltin’ and face meltin’
We on top ‘cause we top shelf
Give you that Red and Green, you seeing dichromatic
My words flip and twist and death-defy, I spit that acrobatic
And these songs - you can feel it
The appeal is something real
If we ain’t dealing out the freshness
We ain’t givin’ it our seal
If you're sitting in the back of the venue, thinking to yourself, “Man, I ain’t ever heard of this band”
Just give us one song to entice you, play the chorus twice, make you our number one fan
And I’m living outside of my comfort zone
But I’m killing this track so I won’t go home
I’m genre-flippin’, switchin’, I’m scriptin’ these hits in pen
So my words go hard like I wrote in stone
They’re just staring me down
I ain’t kidding around
Giving him the blindside
(Giving him the blindside)
They’re just pointing fingers
I’ve got nothing else to say
They’re just staring me down
I ain’t kidding around
Giving him the blindside
(Giving him the blindside)
They’re just pointing fingers
I’ve got nothing else to say
They’re just staring me down
I ain’t kidding around
Giving him the blindside
(Giving him the blindside)
They’re just pointing fingers
I’ve got nothing else to say
Cause everyday they’re coming at me
I’m just giving them the blindside

Saving Grace
03:35
|
|||
Tired and nervous
Stone walls piled oh so high
Splashed at the surface
And I cannot help wonder why
I ever placed my trust
In someone I hardly knew
Was it too rushed?
What am I to do?
How did I get here?
Whatever lead me to this place?
Is there anyone out there
To help me find my saving grace?
So deep I fell
It’s hard to find a speck of light
At the peal of the bell
Shines the moon in darkest night
How did I get here?
Whatever lead me to this place?
Is there anyone out there
To help me find my saving grace?
How did I get here? (I don’t know)
Whatever lead me to this place?
Is there anyone out there (Oh, I hope)
To help me find my saving grace?
How did I get here? (I don’t know)
Whatever lead me to this place?
Is there anyone out there (Oh, I hope)
To help me find my saving grace?

Dig
03:31

Our love was moving much too fast
Should’ve known it wouldn’t last
Didn’t know your look would stray
You turned your back and walked away
It wasn’t your plan
Being caught with another man
So many lies I’m fed
And I believed every word you said
You ripped out my heart
Threw it in a casket
Said it to my face, oh
“Take the shovel and dig”
“Take the shovel and dig”
“Take the shovel and dig”
Got home from the graveyard shift
Through the window, saw the kiss
Rain was pouring in the morning mist
Under the streetlight
You said things that weren’t true
I did things I wouldn’t do
All because of him and you
And what you did that night
You ripped out my heart
Threw it in a casket
Said it to my face, oh
“Take the shovel and dig”
“Take the shovel and dig”
“Take the shovel and dig”
Remember when your smile
Made me feel complete
Those same lips now serve to hide
A mess of rotten teeth
You ripped out my heart
Threw it in a casket
Said it to my face, oh
“Take the shovel and dig”

Worth

You know your love is like a wrecking ball
It knocks me down so low
And I know that nothing is gonna change
’Til I make for the door
Before I go
On my way
Let me ask you
What do you say?
(What am I worth?)
What do I mean to you?
(What am I worth?)
If I left what would you do?
Would you move the mountains?
Crack the sky?
Stay up late
Wondering why?
(What am I worth?)
You know your scream is like a howling wind
It chills me to my bones
And you say you’re trying to build me up
That’s not what I’ve been told
Oh, you treat me wrong
Don’t you see?
This love’s defeating lies
Are not for me
(What am I worth?)
What do I mean to you?
(What am I worth?)
If I left what would you do?
Would you move the mountains?
Crack the sky?
Stay up late
And cry, cry, cry?
(What am I worth?)
So what do you say?
(What am I worth?)
What do I mean to you?
(What am I worth?)
If I left what would you do?
Would you move the mountains?
Crack the sky?
Would you stay up late
And cry, cry, cry?
(What am I worth?)
What do I mean to you?
(What am I worth?)
If I left what would you do?
Would you move the mountains?
Crack the sky?
Stay up late
Wondering why?
(What am I worth?)
