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

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 04:02
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?)

about

Second release in the "Dichromacy" dyptich, preceded by "Green".

This EP has tons of horsepower under the hood, all you gotta do is rev the engine. Turn the volume up loud and listen to that oversized jaguar purr.

What better colour to group these songs under than the very colour that inspires a charging bull? The colour of an old Barchetta? The colour of David Bowie's dancing shoes!? There is no substitute!

The only colour befitting music of this unparalleled magnitude is the hue of Mr. Scratch's suit!

Red.
