The Story
Say What
We’re the ones behind a faceless band a hit record is in our plans
But All That Glitters is not gold no
They got us Between a Rock making it big yah it costs a lot
You wanna close the deal you gotta live By the Sword oh lord
Doesn’t really matter what we say there’s always a price to be paid
Here we stand before the judge pretty sure this dude carries a grudge
And Where There’s Smoke surely there’s fire fire
When you Bite The Hand That Feeds better be prepared for the Third Degree
Oh just a little insane oh oh oh oh
It’s all about the Journey my friend the Destination is merely the end
Nobody said it’d be a Piece of Cake cake
Doesn’t really matter what we say there’s always a price to be paid
Oh just a little insane oh oh oh oh
Doesn’t really matter what we say there’s always a price to be paid
Oh just a little insane oh oh oh oh
Oh just a little insane
Where There's Smoke
You were so close yet so far don’t want upset the apple cart
Looked for some guidance in the stars some kind of map to your heart
I have wasted so much time waiting for the planets to align
Hey hey baby got this burning desire where there’s smoke there’s fire
I should of but never saw it coming out of the blue an epiphany
All the feelings buried from the running it became so clear to me
I have wasted so much time the answers been right here all the time
Hey hey baby got this burning desire where there’s smoke there’s fire
I’ve been a fool yah I’ve been blind
Hope I didn’t blow it you haven’t changed your mind
Pretty baby been patient for such a long time
I’m done hesitating will you stay the night
I have wasted so much time never thought to read between the lines
Hey hey baby got this burning desire where there’s smoke there’s fire
There’s fire….there’s fire…there’s fire…
All That Glitters
Another city another sticky mess a little more fodder for the celebrity press
Ready the private jet head to Tuscany
Smile and wave give them what they want to see
Everybody knows that looks can deceive
But yet they still believe what they want to believe
What I ever say or do my people agree
Man I would kill just to have a little honesty
Fame and fortune can steal your soul and all that glitters is not always gold
A pound of flesh for an ounce of gold
A pound of flesh for an ounce of gold
Used to have my feet planted firmly on the ground
Now I’m just another one of those internet clowns
Fame and fortune can steal your soul and all that glitters is not always gold
Third Degree
I’m as honest as the day is long don’t mess about do no wrong
Me and boy’s like to hit the clubs if I happen to smell like sweet perfume
You automatically assume
Even though we don’t make love a lot you’re the one in my thoughts
And the scratches on my back not inflicted by a woman’s passionate touch
You’re thinking way too much
Oh oh my baby your making me crazy all I get is the third degree
Third degree third degree
It’s not like I’m out making the scene you always know where I’ve been
Sick and tired of your jealousy so I get the odd late night phone call
There’s no reason for suspicion at all
Oh oh my baby your making me crazy all I get is the third degree
Bird in Hand
Is this another nightmare or a fleeting dream
Is it real or something else in between
Is there a puppet master pulling all the strings
Or a chemical reaction disguised as human beings
These shadows they paint a grisly scene
We are merely a ghost in the machine
It’s a digital dream we are all ghosts in the machine
If I think therefore I am do I not exist
Could it be I’ve been fooled by the great illusionist
Am I the one who filters out the ugliness I see
Or is there a phantom that’s controlling me
These shadows they paint a grisly scene
We are merely a ghost in a machine
It’s a digital dream we are all ghosts in the machine
Our reality is not what it seems
It’s a riddle that is wrapped inside a dream
These shadows they paint a grisly scene
We are merely a ghost in the machine
It’s a digital dream we are all ghosts in the machine
The Hand That Feeds
Yah you really do have it made in the shade
It’s easy living you when your queen of the day
The word on the street you’ve got a deal and they say it’s pretty sweet
Your wish was my command anything you longed for
What ever you need or desire you always got more
Then you blew it yah you threw it you threw it all away
You never bite the hand that feeds you gotta know who butters your bread
You never bite the hand that feeds you should of bitten your tongue instead
I heard you bragging and laughing with all your friends
You thought the gravy train would never end
Gave you an inch took a mile bit off more than you can chew
You don’t bite the hand that feeds you gotta know who butters your bread
You don’t bite the hand that feeds you should of bitten your tongue instead
Have you ever cried or will it make you rust
Has your cold black heart turned into dust
There is no path no road back you burned those bridges down
You never bite the hand that feeds you gotta know who butters your bread
You never bite the hand that feeds you should of bitten your tongue instead
You don’t bite the hand that feeds you gotta know who butters your bread
You don’t bite the hand that feeds you should of bitten your tongue instead
By The Sword
When you stand and take a piss into the wind
It’ll come back and hit cha again and again
Seeds of discontent sown all over the world
That’s what happens when you live by the sword
When you live by the sword by the sword
Too many cooks in the kitchen too many chiefs
Serving up conspiracy and fringe beliefs
Speak that mumbo jumbo get ya all confused
It’s hard to tell the lies from the occasional truth from the truth
A bitter harvest from seeds are sown
When you choose to live die by the sword (by the sword)
Hush money cover ups do whatever it takes
Throw them bone gotta rile up that base
Plausible denial seems to work like a charm
Send them to the hill burn it to the ground to the ground
A bitter harvest from seeds are sown
When you choose to live die by the sword
A bitter harvest from seeds are sown
When you choose to live die by the sword
Your gonna reap what you sow
When you choose to live die by the sword (by the sword)
Smell The Roses
I remember the day Grandpa sat me on his knee
Listen up won’t be long til your old like me
Each and every day is a gift that is granted you
And it passes quicker than you want it to
You gotta stop and smell the roses gotta stop and smell the roses
The years will disappear right before your eyes
So look around enjoy the view take your time
You gotta stop and smell the roses
You gotta stop
Now I’m older and see how the time has flown
Hard to believe how fast the little one’s have grown
The years have disappeared like a setting sun
The finish line comes up quick so walk don’t run
You gotta stop and smell the roses and smell the roses
Louder Than Words
Am I a fool is my logic sound are my feet firmly on the ground
Feel as if I’m living in a dream in the shadows some where in between
I’m afraid of what I’ve become it’s so much easier said than done
To walk on through that open door cause I’ve tried so many times before
If a pictures worth a thousand words I was looking but never heard
Now my heart hangs by a thread should have read into what you did
With my eyes I could not see I was blinded by gullibility
A rose is a rose by any other name heartbreak and sorrow one in the same
If an action can speak louder than words never understood a thing I heard
Now my heart hangs by a thread wish I listened to what you did
If a pictures worth a thousand words I was looking but never heard
Now my heart hangs by a thread should have read into what you did
If an action can speak louder than words never understood a thing I heard
Now my heart hangs by a thread wish I listened to what you did
Between a Rock
I know I dug this hole and there’s a price to be paid
You deserve to treat me cold but it’s hard to change my way
So I let you cool your heals and hoped for better luck
But now it appears that I’ve got myself in tough
Between a rock and a hard place and no place
And a hard place that’s no place to be yah
I tried my best to make amends but it failed to quell the rage
Now I’m at my wits end some birds ain’t meant to be caged
Between a rock and a hard place and no place
And a hard place that’s no place to be
On a leaking ship she’s about to sink
Water water all around not a drop to drink
Damned if I do damned if I don’t
So what should I do my Lord she’s a riddle wrapped in mystery
And if I fall upon the sword I’m heading back to purgatory
Between a rock and a hard place and no place
And a hard place that’s no place to be yah
Damned if I do damned if I don’t
Damned if I do damned if I don’t
Between a rock
The Other Side
You look at me like as if I’m a deity can’t imagine why
C’mon man your heads in the sand open up your eyes
Your life looks quite good from my neck of the woods love to be in your shoes
A smoking hot bride and a fancy ride wish I were more like you
The grass is always greener on the other side
Yah life is always sweeter for the other guy
Some folks I know have lots on the go but appearance can deceive
The things that go on when curtains are drawn may be a different scene
That voice in my head keeps filling me with dread is coveting so wrong
Can’t help myself wanna be somebody else I’m jealous all day long
The grass is always greener on the other side
Yah life is always sweeter for the other guy
On the other side on the other side on the other side on the other side
We don’t appreciate what we have is pretty great in the palm of our hands
We all have a picture that the harvest is richer from another Man’s land
The grass is always greener on the other side
Yah life is always sweeter for the other guy
Always searching for something never satisfied
The grass is always greener on the other side
Gimme Gimme
I see you coming round my door like a pain in the side
With an empty hand looking for more another free ride
Oh oh oh oh what happened to your pride
There is never ever any give only take and take
If that’s life you choose to live you sleep in the bed you make
Oh oh oh oh give that head of yours a shake
I guess you never learned I guess you haven’t heard
That gimme gimme yah he never gets he never gets
You show up just to put on the bite like some kind of disease
Nothing more than a parasite I’m the host upon which you feed
Oh oh oh oh get your fangs out of me
I guess you never learned I guess you haven’t heard
That gimme gimme yah he never gets he never gets
How could you not know the Bible tells us so
That gimme gimme yah he never gets he never gets
Got no problem lending a buck if I thought I’d get it back
But you don’t give a fuck so that’s the end of that
Oh oh oh oh can’t pull a rabbit from a hat
I guess you never learned I guess you haven’t heard
That gimme gimme yah he never gets he never gets he never gets
I guess you never learned I guess you haven’t heard
That gimme gimme yah he never gets he never gets
Destinations Journey
The end games not the prize I seek it’s lessons learned along the way
Sometimes laughter sometimes pain it’s the price we pay
With every single breath every little step I take
It’s about the journey the adventure that I embrace
Were on a winding road a path that follows yesterday
Through trial and tribulation yah I’ll make my way
Walk on one leg walk on two do the best that you can do
I don’t think about the end the journey makes the legend
When I reach the summit gaze upon the crowd
I’ll smile for every challenge then cry out loud
The joy is in the journey the strength I’ve been endowed yah
Through the valleys raging rivers running deep and wide
In the meadow where the grass is green on the other side
Among the warmth of friends you meet along the path
All the kindness and the loss we cry so hard we laugh
So come on baby listen to the words I’m about to say
There is no reason that you can not earn your stripes today
Fill your sail with determination you’ll be on the proper tack
Journeys always easier with the wind behind your back
When I reach the summit gaze upon the crowd

The joy is in the journey the strength I’ve been endowed yah
When I reach the summit gaze upon the crowd
I’ll smile for every challenge then cry out loud
The joy was in the journey the strength I was endowed
Piece of Cake
