Bombs 02:18
Have you nothing to believe in? Have you no reason left at all? We are all up to our necks, And no one knows how to swim Is this the call to arms? Are we the chosen few? Has the empire finally come crashing down? Where will we stand? Where will we sleep? When all the wolves have finally been turned to sheep We are all falling bombs We all hit the ground running

Sleepwalking 03:12
For you I'll sleep standing For you I won't be vacant For you I don't play games For you I'll burn the ocean For you I am eager For you I have a voice For you I'll tear down the sky For you I'll cast no shadow For you I'll tell lies For you I'll burn the bridge For you I'll grow older For you I am television For you I'd buy heaven For you I'd see this through For you I'll fight the morning For you to sleep at night Burn the holes into our jeans Burning holes inside our dreams Sleepwalking to the railroad station We're alive when the sidewalk screams A masquerade until the final scene Sleepwalking to the railroad station And when it's over When there's nothing left Bury me in this neon casket I'll watch the wires They stretch for miles I'll watch the whole world get smaller Never again I'll never walk these streets again Dig our graves inside ourselves A burial plot for no one else Sleepwalking to the railroad station Where are you going it's understood Running won't do us any good Sleepwalking to the railroad station I'm alive and that's all I have A brave new world with worn out hands Sleepwalking to end of the line Sleepwalking until the end of time

Apathy 03:18
Who, who could this be? This separation it isn't working But you, you were such a fool When we were young Always running away from me This is paralysis A one way ticket to nowhere I am nothing, I am made of stone I count the planes in the sky, But you're not on any of them I'm going blind but I can't fall asleep When I'm there standing on the edge Will you come for me? But you, you were such a fool when we were young I scream at the top of my lungs, but No one is ever listening This is complacency I walk down these streets to nowhere I'm going blind, but I can't turn off my TV I count the planes in the sky But you're not on any of them I'm going blind, but I can't fall asleep

Perspectives 02:11
Do you remember? I woke to tell you, that the house was burning Where have I seen this? It was all in a dream, and we were falling Where are my children? I left them in baskets, and they're lining the freeway Is it winter yet? The air is cold, the moon is low, and I'm still breathing Will you hear this song? If I don't sing it?

Fall 01:12
We can't keep these trains from running We can't keep these planes from crashing We can't keep these cars from moving We can't keep the world from turning

Riot, please 02:23
This should only take fifteen minutes and I have said all of this before We all take our photographs But who has time for that? So kick down the doors, crash all the cars, just keep dancing until the city's ours We are the riot race We are the sky Go get the kids and let's start a fight We were the same when we were young We all saw strangers in the mirror We drove the same streets in our cars And we burned our bridges well So kick down the doors, crash all the cars, just keep marching until the city's ours We are the riot race We are the sound Go get the kids and let's bring it down The men in suits they keep listening And the president he sure looks guilty But the show must go on Strike up the bandwagon We'll ride it all the way downtown Outside there's a real world Outside there's a war Outside we're all the same Outside we're on our own
7.
The sky is bleeding through his hands He falls and breaks into pieces I see his seven smiling children When one turns to me to say This is the way it's hanging from the ceiling Our lullabies tell us keep marching As the city burns, will we run screaming? I welcome the end with my war paint on I am nothing without you
