First One In The Pit lyrics - Authority Zero

This is our time
This is the release that we've waited for
No chance of coming out alive and well on the dance floor
Commemorated, celebrated
Life and hope how times have changed
No matter what has happened
Our hearts remain the same
Unity and prosperity
(To) Set yourself free
Let go, no control
Repeat after me
Unity and prosperity
(To) Set yourself free
Let go, no control
Repeat after me
Repeat after me

I am alive...
I am alive...
This is
This is
This is our time...
This is our time...

(First one in the pit)
I'll be the last one standing
(First one in the pit)
I'll be the first one to hit the ground
(First one in the pit)
So there's no misunderstanding
I'll be the first one in the pit
And the last one out
(First one in the pit)
I'll be the last one standing
(First one in the pit)
I'll be the first one to hit the ground
(First one in the pit)
So there's no misunderstanding
I'll be the first one in the pit
And the last one out

The last one out
The last one out
The last one out

Reconciliation lyrics - Authority Zero

Tell me why you make me feel this way
Parading around playing this pointless game
If it's one thing I can't stand it's the mind tricks
There's nothing you'll break that I cannot fix
You were acting strange
And I just couldn't resist everything
Not nearly done with it
Call it graphic,
What more can I say
There's no way to put it nice anyway

(Reconciliation)
Hold on now you're your worst enemy
(Reconciliation)
Hold on now you'll never get the best of me
(Reconciliation)
This reconciliation is retaliation

There's nothing you can say
To make me believe
That everything is fine
Quite honestly
What's your secret?
What's all of that?
What's that you're hiding behind your back?
Well moving right along
I think that you're insane

And I think you feel
I think you feel the same
The blame, the blame
Let's stick to the facts
I'm calling you out
It's just as simple as that

(Reconciliation)
Hold on now you're your worst enemy
(Reconciliation)
Hold on now you'll never get the best of me
(Reconciliation)
This reconciliation is retaliation
(Reconciliation)
Hold on now you're your worst enemy
(Reconciliation)
Hold on now you'll never get the best of me
(Reconciliation)
This reconciliation is retaliation

It goes on and on and on
Point the finger point the blame
Because all in all in all
In all it's all the same
It goes on and on and on
Point the finger point the blame
Because all in all in all
In all it's all the same
To me

(Reconciliation)
Hold on now you're your worst enemy
(Reconciliation)
Hold on now you'll never get the best of me
(Reconciliation)
This reconciliation is retaliation

Destiny And Demise lyrics - Authority Zero

Staring at the road
Another chance to look away
But you just press against your face
All your thoughts, then you realize
Time's not on your side
You're feeling buried alive
As the weight of the world is gripping inside, yeah

Disengage and desensitized
With your one-track mind
This is your destiny or demise
Out on the road but never alone
As you dig deep inside
Show me what you're made of

Is this your destiny or your demise
Show me what you're made of
Is this your destiny or your demise
What are you made of?

When a loss of memory turns out an awful lot
You'd better head for the hills
Your destiny is calling
The great escape
Do you really think that any of us
Make it out alive
This is our only time

Under pressure, pull yourself together
Better swing for the fences son
I'm learning my lesson
Decompresion, impact protection
Now you're all on your own
Show me what you're made of

Is this your destiny or your demise
Show me what you're made of
Is this your destiny or your demise
What are you made of?

Where are you, where have you gone
Show me what you will overcome

Is this your destiny or your demise
Show me what you're made of
Is this your destiny or your demise
What are you made of?

Is this your destiny or your demise
Show me what you're made of
Is this your destiny or your demise
What are you made of?

Broadcasting To The Nations lyrics - Authority Zero

By now, you're making stipulations
It's too late for reconciliation
What now? Face the music station
Broadcasting it all over the nations

Dirty laundry you second guess your patience
Throw down, and meet your new acquaintance
Complaced, not complacent
Broadcasting it all over the nations

You sneaky little puppet puppeteer pulling the strings
Control of the masses fucking up you fuck the pretty things
There seems to be a reference that you've not been referencing
Hole in the bucket toss a towel in the ring
Wave that white flag as if it's something to believe in
This conversation goes so tired I haven't slept a week
Throw up your gloves toss a towel in the ring
You tricky little puppet puppeteer pulling the strings

Pull the strings
Broadcasting

By now, just stipulations
No reconciliation
What now? Face the music station
Broadcasting it all over the nations
Slow down, test your patience
No doubt your new acquaintance
What now? Face the music station
Broadcasting it all over the nations

Persisting in the streets around the world everyday
What's it matter if the innocence in families fade away?
There's got to be a purpose to my being on the stand
This pedestal is gonna make me a man
Fire off another! What's the matter, don't you see?
Protection and no purpose points to you soon being free
The fairytales and fiction hides the truth beneath their nose
No time for wishful thinking that's just how the story goes

That's just how it goes
Right beneath our nose

By now, just stipulations
No reconciliation
What now? Face the music station
Broadcasting it all over the nations
Slow down, test your patience
No doubt your new acquaintance
What now? Face the music station
Broadcasting it all over the nations

Broadcasting
To the nations
Broadcasting

By now, just stipulations
No reconciliation
What now? Face the music station
Broadcasting it all over the nations
Slow down, test your patience
No doubt your new acquaintance
What now? Face the music station
Broadcasting it all over the nations

Broadcasting to the nations
Broadcasting to the nations
Broadcasting to the nations
Broadcasting it all over the nations

Summer Sickness lyrics - Authority Zero

You know you're takin' me back to better days
When the music would play
And the thoughts they remained
None of fortune and fame
Singing songs of Revolution and retribution all through the night
You know you're takin' me back to better days
And my oh my things have changed
Not the people per say
Some keep running away
By the way do you remember summer days?
One More Minute never going home

Do you really want to be that way?
Do you really just want to stay?
Who knows what's really gonna come our way
Do you really want to be that way?
Do you really just want to stay?
Who knows what's really gonna come our way?

Yeah we're all right
Not gonna break our stride no
These summer vibes will roll all through our lives
Singin' woah

You know you're takin' me back to a time and place
Everyday Find Your Way
Sweet summer ocean spray
Mexican Radio would play
Singing songs of Revolution and retribution by the fire side
Oh I cap still smell that beech burn
My how the tables have turned
Flamenco in the air as we'd sing away our cares
By the way do you remember summer days?
One More Minute never going home

Do we really want to be that way?
Do we really just want to stay?
Who knows what's really gonna come our way
Do we really want to be that way?
Do we really just want to stay?
Who knows what's really gonna come our way?

Yeah we're all right
Not gonna break our stride no
These summer vibes will roll all through our lives
Singin' woah

Do we really want to be that way?
Do we really just want to stay?
Who knows what's really gonna come our way
Do we really want to be that way?
Do we really just want to stay?
Who knows what's really gonna come our way?

Yeah we're all right
Not gonna break our stride no
These summer vibes will roll all through our lives
Singin' woah
Yeah we're all right
Not gonna break our stride no
Singin' woah
These summer vibes will roll all through our lives
Singin' woah

Bayside lyrics - Authority Zero

Wake me up
Well it's a new day breaking
It's been a long one let's just face it
You're holding on but the walls are shaking
This could be it
Could be yours for the taking
We always seem to be living for tomorrow
If you could clear your head and just swallow
Our time here is all just borrowed
So let me see

Just take a deep breath and count to three
All that matter is what steps are willingly
What's your next play
What should you say
'Cause I don't know quite honestly

Just take a deep breath and count to three
All that matter is what steps are willing to be
What's your next play
What should you say
'Cause I don't know quite honestly

But there comes a time when the truth gets in the way
And you face the awful ugliness at bay
And you tell yourself
Hey self it's not ok
Yeah there comes a time when the truth gets in the way

Let's face facts
Yeah you're barely alive
Come to think of it you're practically dead inside
It's no suprise you don't fear it
So as long as you can hear it's calling out

I'll tell you what I don't know what's worse
Drowning out here or dying thirst
Take a deep breath
Count it
1 2 3
Take a look around and walls are all I see

Wake me up
Well it's a new day breaking
It's been a long one let's just face it
Hold on 'cause the walls are shaking
This could be it
Could be yours for the taking

But there comes a time when the truth gets in the way
And you face the awful ugliness at bay
And you tell yourself
Hey self it's not ok
Yeah there comes a time when the truth gets in the way
There comes a time when the truth gets in the way

Yet there comes a time when the truth gets in the way (truth gets in the way)
And you face the awful ugliness at bay (at bay)
And you tell yourself
Hey self it's not ok (it's not ok)
Yeah there comes a time when the truth gets in the way
There comes a time when the truth gets in
There comes a time when the truth gets in
There comes a time when the truth gets in the way

Revolution Riot lyrics - Authority Zero

You say you want change?
Yeah we all want change
But have you done a fuckin' thing to try and change these things?
See I don't know what you're talkin' about
And I don't want to think about it
You're never gonna change my mind
And that's something I can live without
I don't owe you anything
On a one way track stop hassling me
Got a one track mind called destiny
On the wall and the writing on the wall is clear to see

Ain't it amazing how we got here
And we seem to carry on
Isn't it crazy how a lifeless mess
Can make the best of what's gone wrong
I think I've made up my mind
Yeah and it's easy to see
That there's nothing left for you
And nothing left for me

Revolution riot
There's no time to waste
Revolution riot
No time, no time, no time

See there are physical signs that something's just not right
Stuck in your head another farce
Another sleepless night
You've got a lot going on
And it's plain to see
With your adventurous mind
Taking a turn and all you need
Is just to come undone
And you say you want change?
You're not the only one
So feed yourself to the lions den
Turn around
Flip it upside down and do it again

Ain't it amazing how we got here
And we seem to carry on
Isn't it crazy how a lifeless mess
Can make the best of what's gone wrong
I think I've made up my mind
Yeah and it's easy to see
That there's nothing left for you
And nothing left for me

Revolution riot
What's the situation
Revolution riot
No time, no time, no time
Revolution riot
Why your hesitation
Revolution riot
No time, no time, no time

There seems to be a madness within them
These kids, these people
They're out of control
What wars have been waged

To bring about the recklessness
And to bring about change in society
Or deep within themselves
Rioting
Revolting
For something that's more!

Revolution riot
Revolution riot
Revolution riot
What's the situation
Revolution riot
There's no time to waste
Revolution riot
Why your hesitation
Revolution riot
No time, no time, no time
Revolution riot
What's the situation
Revolution riot
There's no time to waste
Revolution riot
Why your hesitation
Revolution riot
Riot! Riot! Riot!

Sevens lyrics - Authority Zero

I tried to find you
I got lost on the outside
Are you out there?
Are you out there?
I tried to pull you in
Got lost deep inside
Are you in there?
Are you in here?

I searched the ashes for your voice
I tore apart from the inside
Take a look around you
What is it that you fear and hide?
It's hard to say what you can't
Sometimes you don't understand
What's the real plan?

So (just) say what you want
Do what you will
Take all that's left
Leave nothing to kill
(Yeah)
Are you alive?
Or are you controlled?
Is this the end?
Or is this were you let go?
Say what you want
Do what you will
Take all that's left
Leave nothing to kill
(Yeah)
Are you alive?
Or are you controlled?
Is this the end?
Or is this were you let go?

I dug right down deep inside hardly alive
Have you been there?
Have you been here?
It took some time to realize that I'm still here
Or am I just still here?
I don't have all the answers
And I can't say that I'm sure
But I'm guessing that you've been here
And almost certain that you are
Teach me a lesson
Try to make me confess
Don't let them take you and leave you a mess

So (just) say what you want
Do what you will
Take all that's left
Leave nothing to kill
(Yeah)
Are you alive?
Or are you controlled?
Is this the end?
Or is this were you let go?
Say what you want
Do what you will
Take all that's left
Leave nothing to kill
(Yeah)
Are you alive?
Or are you controlled?
Is this the end?
Or is this were you let go?

Is this were you let go?
(Is this were you let go?)
Is this were you let go?
Is this the time that start to believe?
Or refrain and all in all regret?
Is this the time that you start to survive?
This is the hour to come alive

So (just) say what you want
Do what you will
Take all that's left
Leave nothing to kill
(Yeah)
Are you alive?
Or are you controlled?
Is this the end?
Or is this were you let...
Go if you want
And say what you will
But take all that's left
Leave nothing to kill
(Yeah)
Are you alive?
Or are you controlled?
Is this the end?
Or is this were you let go?

La Diabla lyrics - Authority Zero

Are you thinkin' of me, thinkin' of you like I am too?
Is there something you need?
Something that we shouldn't have to think through
Why you on my mind each and every time I try to forget you?
Are you thinkin' of me, thinkin' of you like I am too?

Are you on the edge?
Are you under it?
What's the next move?
Even in my dreams I don't know that it means to be with you
Night after night after night after sleepless night
Are you thinkin' of me, thinking of you like I am too?
Come on...

I'm on the edge and I can't stop thinkin'
I'm on the move and I can't stop movin'
I've got that one track mind and it's trackin'
I'm on the move and I can't stop movin'
I'm on the last dance can't stop dancin'
I'm on the last chance can't stop chancin'
This is my last chance can't stop chancin'
Hold on hold on

Hey Hey!
She's just a fuckin' demon
Give it up she'll make you believe it
Hey Hey!
She's just a fuckin' demon
Give it up she'll make you believe it

I've got you in my sites
Each and every night
Tell me how to get through
There's nothing I can do
Running through my mind chasing after you
But you just can't see
Can't be
Got me goin' round
Devil woman so tempting
Fire in your eyes
Thoughts of you and I
But that's just crazy
Is that so crazy?

I'm on the edge and I can't stop thinkin'
I'm on the move and I can't stop movin'
I've got that one track mind and it's trackin'
I'm on the move and I can't stop movin'
I'm on the last dance can't stop dancin'
I'm on the last chance can't stop chancin'
This is my last chance can't stop chancin'
Hold on hold on

Hey Hey!
She's just a fuckin' demon
Give it up she'll make you believe it
Hey Hey!
She's just a fuckin' demon
Give it up she'll make you believe it

Creepers lyrics - Authority Zero

This is a little book of clarity
Don't sweat the small stuff
It's all small stuff to me
In the mean time stay in the game
With that in mind you're thinkin' I'm insane
I'm not suggesting that you stick your head
Think I've experienced a lot of it
Your conscience just about to regulate
Your elevation about to elevate
Here's a little penicillin for the mind
Fear and conflict of a greater kind
Here's another way to think about it
It takes control and then there's no way out
No way out of it

Is this the end they all talked about?
Is this the end we could do without?
Is this the end?
Better sort it out!
Is this the end they all talked about?
Is this the end we could do without?
Is this the end?
Better sort it out!

A paradox starts to shift and wind
Let's raise the bar to another high
The roots are turning into heroin
The morphine's starting just to settle in
Contaminated thinking on the rise
Which reinforces clarity of mind?
Live a life enough to demonstrate
Look to the source and watch it agitate
Watch it agitate yeah

Is this the end they all talked about?
Is this the end we could do without?
Is this the end?
Better sort it out!
Is this the end they all talked about?
Is this the end we could do without?
Is this the end?
Better sort it out!

Here comes your shining star of disbelief
For all you know it ain't just a fallacy
No where to run
No where to hide
Just stay alive
No where to run
No where to hide
Just stay alive
No where to run
No where to hide
Just stay alive
No where to run
No where to hide
Just stay alive

Is this the end they all talked about?
Is this the end we could do without?
Is this the end?
Better sort it out!
Is this the end they all talked about?
Is this the end we could do without?
Is this the end?
Better sort it out!

Better sort it out!
We could do without
You better sort it out

When We Rule The World lyrics - Authority Zero

Breathe in deeply
And find yourself so far away from here
Listen sweetly
And hear everything so clear

I say we go it alone, now tell me what do you say
I think it's time we moved on from here quite possibly
Let's change our stripes, we're all kings of the world
Aren't we, aren't we, aren't we?

We don't walk down these streets anymore
And we don't feel the same way we had before
So rock yourself to sleep and call
On me when we rule the world

Fill me in here
Is there something I've been missing it seems
I think we both know (I think we both know)
What's to be done here

I feel our empire is building as the rocks fall around
I hear it calling my name but I can never be found
Let's change our stripes, we're all kings of the world
Aren't we, aren't we, aren't we?

We don't walk down these streets anymore
And we don't think the same way we had before
So rock yourself to sleep and call
On me when we rule the world

Are we all waiting, are we now
For something to save us from ourselves
Are we creating this distance somehow
Are we the waiting now

Cause we don't walk down these streets anymore
And we don't feel the same way we had before
So rock yourself to sleep and call
On me when we rule the world

We don't walk down these streets anymore
And we don't feel the same way we had before
So rock yourself to sleep and call
On me when we rule the world

We don't walk down these streets anymore
We don't think the same way we had before
So rock yourself to sleep and call
On me when we rule the world

Yeah on me when we rule the world

One Way Track Kid lyrics - Authority Zero

I'm that one way track kid
And I'm going' nowhere fast as I can
'Cause anywhere's better than here
Better than nothing
Yeah I'm that one way track kid
That flashing light that's self degraded
Self-destruction, good for nothin'
At least that's something

Yeah I'm that one way track kid
And I'm delusional at best
There's nothing I can't do
And I'll probably blow it
But what's it to you?
Yeah I'm that face the facts kid
You won't go far
Just admit defeat
It's a one way street
And you know it's true
You don't have it in you!

Take me to higher places that I cannot explore
('Cause I know I know I know)
Just reprimand me for the choices I live for
Take me to higher places that I cannot explore
('Cause I know I know I know)
Just reprimand me reprimand me yeah once more

I'm that one way track kid
And I'm going' nowhere fast as I can
'Cause anywhere's better than here
Better than nothing
Yeah I'm that one way track kid
That flashing light that's self degraded
Self-destruction, good for nothin'
At least that's something

Take me to higher places that I cannot explore
('Cause I know I know I know)
Just reprimand me for the choices I live for
Take me to higher places that I cannot explore
('Cause I know I know I know)
Just reprimand me reprimand me yeah once more
(Come on)

Take me to higher places that I cannot explore
('Cause I know I know I know)
Just reprimand me for the choices I live for
Take me to higher places that I cannot explore
('Cause I know I know I know)
Just reprimand me reprimand me yeah once more

I'm that one way track kid
And I'm going' nowhere fast as I can
'Cause anywhere's better than here
Better than nothing
Yeah I'm that one way track kid
That flashing light that's self degraded
Self-destruction, good for nothin'
At least that's something

I'm that one way track kid
And I'm going' nowhere fast as I can
'Cause anywhere's better than here
Better than nothing
Yeah I'm that one way track kid
That flashing light that's self degraded
Self-destruction, good for nothin'
At least that's something

I'm that one way track kid
And I'm going' nowhere fast

No Guts No Glory lyrics - Authority Zero

What the fuck went wrong?
I've been sitting here beside myself
Singing along to my own songs
No alibi
No reason why
Just memories
A passage in time
Drawing my own conclusions
Another scrapbook that you find
Some days you'll run the risk of being caught up
In your own pair of shoes
Some days you'll fight
Becoming paralyzed
Seeking out what not to do
Inside you're fighting your own war
A battleground covered in tattered sores
The realization
The dreams you're chasing
That show you what you are

My life
My life
Oh how you torture me
Just give me somethin'
My life
My life
Oh how you torture me
It's something I won't forget
My life
My life
Oh how you torture me
No guts no glory
No time for sorry
Only time to begin

Tear out your eyes
Blinded by the light shining bright
Give me a chance
I still have some fight
The last thing I remember was a falling out
So pour me one down
I'll tell you a story
No glitz and glamour
Just guts and the glory
And the stories
Oh the stories...
Oh the stories...

My life
My life
Oh how you torture me
Just give me somethin'
My life
My life
Oh how you torture me
It's something I won't forget
My life
My life
Oh how you torture me
No guts no glory
No time for sorry
Only time to begin

Because in the end
It starts to sink in
In the end
Find my self starting again
In the end
It starts to sink in
In the end
Find my self starting again
In the end
It starts to sink in
In the end
Find my self starting again

My life
My life
Oh how you torture me
Just give me somethin'
My life
My life
Oh how you torture me
It's something I won't forget
My life
My life
Oh how you torture me
No guts no glory
No time for sorry
No time for sorry

Bad Mouth lyrics - Authority Zero

(originally by Fugazi)

You can't be what you were
So you better start being
Just what you are
You can't be what you were
The time is now is running out
Is running out
Is running running running out
You can't be what you were
So you better start living the life
That you're talking about
You can't be what you were

There's no movement, there's no movement, there's no movement
In a bad mouth
It betrays a bad mind
There's no movement, there's no movement, there's no movement
In a bad mouth
It betrays a bad mind
There's no movement, there's no movement
It betrays a bad mind
There's no movement, there's no movement, there's no movement
In a bad mouth
It betrays a bad mind

You're always talking talking talking talking talking shit now
But you will talk yourself down
You're going down!

No Other Place lyrics - Authority Zero

There's a place that's been reaching with fists in the air
In deep aspirations, growing much more sincere
Strength fills our words while the sweat fills the floor
We're reaching for something and searching for so much more

Is there nothing at all left to see?
Is there nothing at all left to be?
Now we're running in place
It's been one hell of a ride and I can see in your face still

There's no other place that I'd rather be
Than right where I'm standing with you here beside me
Yeah, there's no other time that I'd rather know
Than here in this moment, just watching it all explode

Right here and now
This is the time
No! I can't hear you!

Love and loss, that part of life you don't forget
Expecting the worst but always praying for the best
You hold to something to watch it all slip away
It's here in this moment; there's nothing here left to save

Is there nothing at all left to see?
Is there nothing at all left to be?
Now we're running in place
It's been one hell of a ride and I can see in your face still

There's no other place that I'd rather be
Than right where I'm standing with you here beside me
Yeah, there's no other time that I'd rather know
Than here in this moment, just watching it all explode

What's been done is done, and yet, I can see the light
It's what goes in as we continue to fight
What's gone so wrong and what is this all for?
To live a life that is worth dying for

No other time and place; that time is here and now
No other way around it; this is going down
No other time and place; that time is here and now
No other way around it; this is going down right now

Is there nothing at all left to see?
Is there nothing at all left to be?
Now we're running in place
It's been one hell of a ride and I can see in your face still

There's no other place that I'd rather be
Than right where I'm standing with you here beside me
Yeah, there's no other time that I'd rather know
Than here in this moment, just watching it all go

Yeah, there's no other place that I'd rather be
Than right where I'm standing with you here beside me
Yeah, there's no other time that I'd rather know
Than here in this moment, just watching it all explode

Right here and now
This is the time
Yeah! Let me hear you!

Undivided lyrics - Authority Zero

Stepping out alone into the faces that you had never seen
With sights set on your sense of urgency
I'll tell you what this all looks like to me

It's sinking ships and castaways
With their hands stretched out and led astray
A dying wish on an endless sea

Are we all drifting away? (This is the last of our days)
Can this be what we've been dying to say?

Or have we all been divided while the struggle carries on?
In a world that's set its standards and a life worth living on
In the face of this united while the silence stands alone
The loss won't be forgotten; these new pages make us strong

So here we are; are we sleeping?
I could have sworn my head was spinning
Now we're running 'round in circles to no end
Can you see it?

'Cause I don't know what we're thinking
At times we're running from the truth
It seems the cycle has started again
Are we breathing? Who knows?

There's no remorse in our eyes (What's going on inside?)
In the end, it's what we're trying to find

Or have we all been divided while the struggle carries on?
In a world that's set its standards and a life worth living on
In the face of this united while the silence stands alone
The loss won't be forgotten; these new pages make us strong and carry on

This is it! This is it!
Carry on! Carry on!
This is it! This is it!
Carry on!

We must stand united; we must make it through
Now we live this life together; I know we'll make it someday soon

Or have we all been divided while the struggle carries on?
In a world that's set its standards and a life worth living on
In the face of this united while the silence stands alone
The loss won't be forgotten; these new pages make us strong

Now we've all been divided; the struggle carries on
This world has set its standards; our life's worth living on
Yeah, we've all been divided; the struggle carries on
This world has set its standards; this life's worth living on

For The Kids lyrics - Authority Zero

We were all alone
Throwing caution to the wind
Running so far from home

Facing this world, not a care
But to be hand in hand, shouting voices
Fuck the world
We'll make it on our own

And there we were
In the crowd as one
Shouting out again

Breaking out on the road
Looking back now on this life
And what the future holds

Facing this world, not a care
But to be hand in hand, shouting voices
Fuck the world
We'll make it on our own

And there we were
In the crowd as one
Shouting out again

Yeah, there we were
And we were screaming at the world again

This one's for the kids
For all those years you've left behind
For all the love and all the memories
Now clouded in our minds

This one's for you
All of the broken and abused
Born to lose
And all of those who decided not to

This one's for you
This one's for you

As time keeps passing away
I see reflections of my friends
And what life used to be

The good times that we've shared
And all those things that we swore to God
We'd never be
Yeah, we were fighting everything

Oh, how I miss those days
When we were in the crowd as one
Shouting out again

Yeah, there we were
And we were screaming at the world again

This one's for the kids
For all those years you've left behind
For all the love and all the memories
Now clouded in our minds

This one's for you
All of the broken and abused
Born to lose
And all of those who decided not to

This one's for you

We were all alone
Throwing caution to the wind
Running so far from home

But here we are
In the crowd as one
Yeah, here we are
And we're still screaming at the world

This one's for the kids
For all those years you've left behind
For all the love and all the memories
Now clouded in our minds

This one's for you
All of the broken and abused
Born to lose
And all of those who decided not to

This one's for you
This one's for you

This one's for you
This one's for you

We were all alone
Throwing caution to the wind
Running so far from home

Take Or Leave It lyrics - Authority Zero


Push off! It's time to set sail into the east!
You've been stagnant for a long, long time, it seems
Paper trails you've left along the way
Cry out for something more than where you've been

Underneath the moon and stars
Lights a path to light your way
Too many darkened nights behind
Into the sunrise, burning bright

Now there's an angel on my shoulder telling me
Forget, forgive, let live and live
Let be what will and what the hell?

And there's a devil on my back
Just saying, what's the problem?

'Cause I don't know what I'm doing here
I never saw this coming
I do believe the end is near
You can take or leave it

I didn't plan on anything
I figured I was dreaming
Another dose of my own pill
You can take or leave it

So leave or take it's all I hear you say
Give me a chance here to explain
And beg forgiveness, I don't so well
But please release me from this hell

And it gets so cold at night
I can't remember when I've slept right
Breaking out in sweats I drown
I gasp for air and choke somehow

Now there's an angel on my shoulder telling me
Forget, forgive, let live and live
Let be what will and what the hell?

And there's a devil on my back
Just saying, what's the problem?

'Cause I don't know what I'm doing here
I never saw this coming
I do believe the end is near
You can take or leave it

I didn't plan on anything
I figured I was dreaming
Another dose of my own pill
You can take or leave it

No more words, no more blame
Actions louder than you think
No more lies or sympathy
Trust in something; set it free

No more loss, no more pain
Believe in something once again
Believe in something once again

'Cause I don't know what I'm doing here
I never saw this coming
I do believe the end is near
You can take or leave it

I didn't plan on anything
I figured I was dreaming
Another dose of my own pill
You can take or leave it

You can take or leave it
Push off! It's time to set sail into the east!
You've been stagnant for a long, long time, it seems
Paper trails you've left along the way
Cry out for something more than where you've been

Underneath the moon and stars
Lights a path to light your way
Too many darkened nights behind
Into the sunrise, burning bright

Now there's an angel on my shoulder telling me
Forget, forgive, let live and live
Let be what will and what the hell?

And there's a devil on my back
Just saying, what's the problem?

'Cause I don't know what I'm doing here
I never saw this coming
I do believe the end is near
You can take or leave it

I didn't plan on anything
I figured I was dreaming
Another dose of my own pill
You can take or leave it

So leave or take it's all I hear you say
Give me a chance here to explain
And beg forgiveness, I don't so well
But please release me from this hell

And it gets so cold at night
I can't remember when I've slept right
Breaking out in sweats I drown
I gasp for air and choke somehow

Now there's an angel on my shoulder telling me
Forget, forgive, let live and live
Let be what will and what the hell?

And there's a devil on my back
Just saying, what's the problem?

'Cause I don't know what I'm doing here
I never saw this coming
I do believe the end is near

I didn't plan on anything
I figured I was dreaming
Another dose of my own pill
You can take or leave it

You can take or leave it

Struggle lyrics - Authority Zero

You've got the strength
You've got the drive to steer it all
You've got the vision
You've got the mind set above and beyond
But can you take it?
Can you depend on yourself when the time comes?
You cannot fake it
It's the truth of the matter that calls you

It's that struggle
On and on bring the fire to the front lines
Listen to the sound of the battle cries
It's that struggle
Into the fire turn it up and kick the flame bright
Watch it all go this is your life
There's only one more day to go

You've got the patience
You've got the words at the tip of your tongue
You're in the belly of the beast
That of which you have slowly become
But can you take it?
Can you depend on yourself when the time comes?
Cuz you cannot fake it
It's the truth of the matter that calls you

It's that struggle
On and on bring the fire to the front lines
Listen up now this is your life
It's that struggle
Into the fire turn it up and kick the flame bright
Watch it all go before your eyes
There's only one more day to go

You've got the strength
You've got the drive yes you're steering it all
You've got the vision
Got the mind set yes above and beyond
But can you take it and depend on yourself when the time comes?
You cannot fake it
It's the truth of the matter that calls you
Tongue tied at the tip of your tongue
You're in the belly of the beast
That of which you have become
But can you take it?
Can you depend on yourself when the time comes?
Cuz you cannot fake it
It's the truth of the matter that calls you-

It's that struggle that makes it worth it in the end
It's that struggle that takes you over again and again

Lift One Up lyrics - Authority Zero

Shouting at the top of your voice to make a difference
Til you're passing out or spitting your last breath in the air
You've got a long long way until you figure it out
Back to the basics of how you got there
Tonight we're living like the end of the world is finally happening
Screaming until our voices are gone
And then we'll do it again
This is a chance to make things right
This is our chance to feel alive and shout it out

They say you're never gonna know until you give it a try
Until you give it a shot
I say that there's nothing that can slow you down
Or make you stop
Just keep it moving
And then take it to the ends of the earth
And shout it out
Until you find out what it's really worth
I figure there's only one way back in the end
You take a long hard look
And then you do it again
Tonight we're living like the end of the world has arrived
This is our chance to feel alive
Come on and shout it out

Whoah!
Give me something true
Whoa!
What's it mean to you?
This may come as a surprise
In some ways we're living the same live
And singing
Whoa!
I'll always be there for you

So now there's music in the air
That takes us to that place
Another turning point
That's brought us here face to face
So give us something that is true
And helps us understand
A voice to help us make it through
See i'm the kind of guy
That's always betting on the best
Those little moments
That you truly put yourself to the test
I'm shouting out until my voice is gone
This is it
Tonight let's feel alive
Come on and shout it out

So lift one up
To put one down
We'll keep singing these old songs our whole lives through
It's where we're found
They've touched our hearts
They've saved our lives
Through thick and thin they've been there
To help us through and reconcile
And singing

Shouting at the top of your voice to make a difference yeah
Yeah you've still got something to say
We've got a long way until we figure it out
Fighting just to break on through and make a difference yeah
Yeah you've still got something to say
You've got a long long way until you figure it out
Back to the basics of how you got there

On The Brink lyrics - Authority Zero

I'm on the brink
I just can't take anymore
I've taken one too many shots I've really fucked up the score
I'm near the edge
I think I'm losing my mind
I've taken back by insuring acts and your lies
Where do we go?
Or do we stay for a while?
Fight off the enemy and cut our losses I don't know
One thing I do
That I've been doing for days
Is look them in the eyes and spit in their fucking face

Turn it up all the way
And take me to a better place
This is the sound of your stereo, the radio
Your beating heart to the words that you already know
Everything that you want to say that you're thinking
All the thoughts that your regret for never speakin'
This is the sound of your beating heart as you watch it go
Chase tracks played back through the window
Everything you want to say that you're thinking
All those words that you regret for never speaking

Lets take a turn
To another place
A destination that you thought you knew and get away
Now back it up
You're just a little too close
I bet you never thought you'd find your destination unknown
Well face the facts
Of what's the matter at hand
You've pissed off everyone that gave a shit because you can
Well here we go
Back at the start again
Just tell me what the fuck?
What the fuck were you thinking?

Where do we go now?
Take us to a better place

Today We Heard The News lyrics - Authority Zero

Today we heard the news
That things had changed and far too soon
Tell me it's not true
It won't be the same if it's not with you
The day that the world stood still
Shock filled the air and people they knew
Nothing would be the same
All that they'd known had suddenly changed

So play on play on
Don't stop the music
Sing on sing on
Use your voice use it
Dance on dance on
Keep your feet moving
Live on live on
Through your songs and views

Sing at the top of your lungs
Sing at the top of your lungs

For today I'm coming home
Today I'm coming home
But I may not make it home

Today we saw the signs
Of people walking in these lines
Shouting out of time
Protesting what they felt was right
I took to the streets and sighed
Tears fell down as they looked to the sky
Why must we why must we even try?
If you stop believing there's no reason why

So walk on walk on
Don't stop believing
Speak on speak on
Words are deceiving
March on march on
This is the season
Carry along and give us a reason

The Tipping Point lyrics - Authority Zero

Hey you
Let's get this started
Throw up your hands
And no more standing on our own
Hey you, Hey you, Hey you
Hey you
Let's keep it moving
Let's shake things up
And recreate our destiny
Hey you, Hey you, Hey you

Who's gonna save us?
And what's the end result?
Take my word this one's on you
Yeah it's all on your shoulders
It's time to catapult
What are you gonna do?
I know you don't understand it
But yet it's happening
You're not alone

This is a wave of hope
The things I've been seeing
An epidemic that can sway your own reflection
Here comes something new
A new perception
A new direction
Something soon

And so it begins
Becoming docile
Another chance to tip the scales
And make new attempts
A chance to start again
Make amends
And make a mends
Given the context of new direction
A glimmer of hope is all we see
We're right at the threshold as we stagger
A chance to break on through
You feel it changing
The rearranging with life so out of tune

There's a way around if we keep going
I know how this plays out
At the tipping point as we look over
And hope we don't fall down
Now we're sitting at the edge here locked together
Finding out where we belong
Its the moment of our lives that lasts forever
We have a choice to sing along
For tonight we take this further
For tonight we see it through

Shakedown In Juarez lyrics - Authority Zero

It was the summer of confusion back in 2006
There was a stench on the air
Down by the border some kids
With only one thing in question
Would they make it through the night?
Or end up in a suitcase on front of El Paso Times
See times they were changing
There was violence in the streets
Down in Juarez Mexico getting rowdy off the beat
With tequila in the air and booze in our system
It was a shakedown in Juarez you couldn't have missed them

It was a shakedown in Juarez
It was a shakedown in Juarez

Rolling across the boarder around four a.m.
We should have known we had it coming when we couldn't get in
So we clipped on through the fence and slipped right past the feds
Down Avenida, Past the clubs and right on past the stench
See there was something in the air as we walked that night
On down the main strip no more lights and only devils in sight
Anyone who dares enter finds them selves in some danger
Read the cardboard box as things they only got stranger

Whistles in the night night that signaled we were alone
Up pulls a paddy wagon with 666 on the door so
Hands above our heads and backs against the wall
Out comes a knife just one excuse was needed that's all
How much for one ticket and yeah you know what I mean
How much it gonna cost to set these here gringos free?
A hundred bucks a pop and you can save your skin
It was a shakedown in Juarez or never see them again

Moving moving
Jumping jumping in the streets and
Running running
Keeping up the pace
Hoping hoping
For a brave new future
Dying dying
Like it's the only way

Shakedown yeah you'd better keep it moving

Endless Roads lyrics - Authority Zero

Here we are
Let's be on our way
Have we all lost touch?
Are we even here?
There are songs of revolution in the air
Let's drive another mile and sing another tune
Let's chase the horizon just to make it through
No more wasting away
Lets find something new
No there's no other way
As we close our eyes and say

If we take this road together
We'll be fighting out whole lives
And we'll be in for stormy weather
Making the ultimate sacrifice
But we live we love we learn and breathe
Each breath we take makes me believe
That we can take this road forever
If we take this road together

Because there's a point you pass when you already know
That you're faced with something more that's in your control
Now up and down you see the passing signs
Down these endless roads lie sleeping nights so
That could be our chance to say
To say something new
No more apologies
As we close our eyes and say

Pushing into overdrive
Another day it doesn't come too soon
Pressing on, what lies ahead?
A turning point that's redirecting you
Can you take it?
Can you make it through?
There's only one way of knowing
Only one way for sure
It's full speed ahead

This is what we're living for
Let's take this road forever

21st Century Breakout lyrics - Authority Zero

You're confined
You're contained
You've been living a lie for so long
You don't know what it means
You're controlled
You're set free
This time they're going to listen
Because you're playing for keeps
I can't believe what I'm hearing or saying
I was alive when you twisted my words
It's truly killing me in this situation
I was alive what was it really worth?

Hold me down
Speak your peace
Spit your lies
Just wait and see
Hold me down
You've got me wondering

Is anybody listening?
Can anybody see?
From where you're standing
You're looking right through me
Is anybody there?
To see what's happening
This is the day that I've been waiting for patiently
Bring on the 21st century breakout
Are you breathing?
Cause I am right now
Hold on to me
Hold on to me
Hold on to me
I'm still breathing

You're denied
You're released
This conversation has got us driving right into insanity
Let this go you confess
Come on and tell me a story
That will make this progress
I can't believe that we're stuck and replaying
And now it's fading fast
The company that we've been keeping
Is about to turn their backs

Because you know what you wanted
Chances are you shut down way too soon
So let's be honest
It's like I'm screaming at a wall
There's no reaction
Just try and remember
This is something that you can't ignore

Authority Zero (bonus track) lyrics - Authority Zero

Give me a second chance
And you take one back
Yes you take one back
There's no authority given to me
It's all for you

Why must you change your mind?
Time after time you tell me what to do
And how to do it

There's no authority in our lives
You don't like me and you I despise
The world grows bigger everyday
I'll tell you my authority stays away

You can't do this
And no you can't do that
Don't dress that way
Now take off that hat

Should I listen to you, I really seem to doubt it
And no I won't forget about it
Oh no

You toss me around
You put on my funny nose, I look like a fucking clown
Throw me up and bat me around
Jump on my side now pound me down
With authority zero, Whoa oh

Authority zero, authority zero
Authority zero...

The New Pollution lyrics - Authority Zero

Get ready!

There's something in the air that we've been breathing
On an all sense, in a sense deceiving
Cold to the touch, no burning feeling
Or maybe it's just me lit up again
Gas mask gear to keep plugging away
A different frequency, what have you got to say?
State your name and make a case
Give it up to the last place in this race

I just can't see this through
What they've done to you

Here we are, here we are with the new pollution
Bask yourself in the new solution
Here we are, here we are, it's the new solution
Bathe yourself in the new pollution
Here we are, here we are, the new pollution
Bask yourself in the new solution
Here we are, here we are, the new solution
Bask yourself, just try and run astray

Calling all chords, calling all artist relations
Production's down, guess who gets to replace them?
Hit you while try the green back express
See the top ten ways to survive the test
A chance to move as a cord in tight
To fall in love with the new way of life
It's my new plans and they're so inviting
Turncoat craftsman to make it exciting

I just can't say this is okay
Turn your back on you anyway

Here we are, here we are with the new pollution
Bask yourself in the new solution
Here we are, here we are, it's the new solution
Bathe yourself in the new pollution
Here we are, here we are, the new pollution
Bask yourself in the new solution
Here we are, here we are, the new solution
Bask yourself, just try and run astray

We are the cries that are filled up on your airwaves
We are the hands that will set you free
We are the times that are taking over
We are the face of the enemy

I just can't see this through
What they've done to you
Let's go!

Here we are, here we are with the new pollution
Bask yourself in the new solution
Here we are, here we are, it's the new solution
Bathe yourself in the new pollution
Here we are, here we are, the new pollution
Bask yourself in the new solution
Here we are, here we are, the new solution
Bask yourself, just try and run astray

A Day To Remember lyrics - Authority Zero

Ten thousand feet above the world and I am living
I've been taken back by how real this can feel
Can't help myself but wonder is this a new beginning?
A catastrophic case, or possibly surreal
Sit back and wonder what the fuck have I been missing?
This burning passion seemed to pass right away
Caught up in caution, paves a way of disillusion
Taken back and back any day

So hold on, don't wait for tomorrow
You've come so far to piss this away
Don't hang your head in the drenches of sorrow
These are the words you only wish you could say

(Today!) This will be a day to remember
(Today!) And I'll live my life once again
We'll sit back and succumb surrender
This is a day to remember, now it's up to me

You're watching everything go unnoticed
Whats really happened, and how can this be?
Sometimes you meet the crushing face of hesitation
The bitter silence, cries out in your grade

I gazed down across an open valley of ominous wonder
Beyond my own ability of understanding
Forgoing the repercussions of the needed actions
For what lies ahead
Beyond the mountains and the perilous terrain
Frozen in that moment of time and awestricken in disbelief

So hold on, don't wait for tomorrow
You've come so far to piss this away
Don't hang your head in the drenches of sorrow
These are the words you only wish you could say

(Today!) This will be a day to remember
(Today!) And I'll live my life once again
We'll sit back and succumb surrender
This is a day to remember, now it's up to me

It's up to me!
It's up to me

Ten thousand feet above the world and I am living
I've been taken back by how real this can feel
Can't help myself but wonder is this a new beginning?
A catastrophic case, or possibly surreal
Ten thousand feet above the world and I am living
I've been taken back by how real this can feel
Can't help myself but wonder is this a new beginning?
A catastrophic case, or possibly surreal

So hold on, don't wait for tomorrow
You've come so far to piss this away
Don't hang your head in the drenches of sorrow
These are the words you only wish you could say

(Today!) This will be a day to remember
(Today!) And I'll live my life once again
We'll sit back and succumb surrender
This is a day to remember, now it's up to me

(Today!) This will be a day to remember
(Today!) This will be a day to remember
(Today!) This will be a day to remember
This is a day to remember, now it's up to me

Break The Mold lyrics - Authority Zero

You are the one in the middle of the room
With your face to the ground, taking stepping stone abuse
With all that aside, and all eyes on you
You won't let them break you down so soon
Desensitized with the fire in your eyes
Tells the story of trials and wear in the pain
Lies in all that aside, and all eyes on you
You won't let them break you down so soon because

(You are the one) whose been living it
Break the mold, no you don't have to take it
(You are the one) whose been living it
Break the mold, no you don't have to take it

You wanted honesty, well I'm not sure you do
Seems your pretentious ways have finally got the best of you
And tell me how it is, I'll be sure to tell you not
And watch this all unravel slowly
Whirlwind of thoughts, well I'm a puppet on a string
That's been tangled again and worse than you've seen
Still with all that aside, and all eyes on you
You won't let them break you down so soon because

(You are the one) whose been living it
Break the mold, no you don't have to take it
(You are the one) whose been living it
Break the mold, no you don't have to take it

You shake and wallow
Be safe and swallow
Too late onto the next one
Time to press them out so
Fake through what's new just
Can't wait to hear this
I was, well I was just passing the time
While you tried just to waste mine

You are the face of the new creation
You are the cast that's been pressed in gold
You are the chance, well it must be taken
Do not come down and you watch them fall
You are the face of the new creation
You are the cast that's been pressed in gold
You are the chance, well it must be taken
Do not come down and you watch them fall

(You are the one) whose been living it
Break the mold, no you don't have to take it
(You are the one) whose been living it
Break the mold, no you don't have to take it

(You are the one) You are the one
(You are the one) You are the one
(You are the one) You are the one
(You are the one) You are the one

Liberateducation lyrics - Authority Zero

All along I've been waiting
Distorted views and vision's slowly fading
I foreseen a time that's painfully victorious for you
Proud and dismantled, but far from the truth
I'm taken back, I'm gonna take it back
When I was convinced as I so barely
Found out a way to dig us out of this hole
You're buried alive, but light is shining through

Can you see me?
I'm reaching out here today

So here we go again
With a fist raised to the sky
With unrelenting words
And a strong will to survive
Well here we go again
Liberated and alive
With unrelenting words
And a strong will to survive

Case and point, we've all just been dying to live
And words at the stake with a match and tonight it ends
So who am I to say what is right
For you, I'm living my own way of life
Do you give a shit, does anybody care?
To test me from the part of myself that's not here nor there
To shed the skin that waved across the ground for so long
A shot to the streets, time to press it along

Can you hear me?
Am I speaking clearly today?

So here we go again
With a fist raised to the sky
With unrelenting words
And a strong will to survive
So here we go again
Liberated and alive
With unrelenting words
And a strong will to survive

Take a look at the face that's gotten you
Down and out, whatcha thinking you're gonna do?

If you don't stop and generate something
More or less gonna make a mess of nothin'
Mortal test, gonna find out what's for sure
Just pull yourself together!

You don't stop thinking and you don't stop running
Pull yourself together, it's a new foundation
You don't stop thinking and you don't stop running
Pull yourself together, time for liberation
You don't stop thinking and you don't stop running
Pull yourself together, it's a new foundation
You don't stop thinking and you don't stop running
Liberateducation!

So here we go again
With a fist raised to the sky
With unrelenting words
And a strong will to survive
Well here we go again
Liberated and alive
With unrelenting words
And a strong will to survive

So here we go again
With a fist raised to the sky
With unrelenting words
And a strong will to survive
Well here we go again
Liberated and alive
With unrelenting words
And a strong will to survive

All the bags, Johnny doesn't need nothing
Face the facts, man you got to prove something
Spit it out, 'cause it's causing a ruckus
And is this what could make amends?

So here we go again
With a fist raised to the sky
With unrelenting words
And a strong will to survive

The Remedy lyrics - Authority Zero

Hey!
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Heh-Huh ha-ha ha!
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

Well I’ve been dancing up a fever, breaking Sweet all night long
Keeping in my current state of thinking, ya that doesn’t seem wrong
P-p-p power trips and egos, shit so hard to resist
This system’s fully operational and fully equipped
You see:

We are living, it’s an evolution
We are singing, searchin’ for solution
We are hearing, songs of revolution
We’re swimming right upstream

Well how are we to know?
When things have gone too far?
But I think it’s safe to say:

The world’s gone crazy (I think I got the remedy!)
I swear the world’s gone crazy (I think I got the remedy!)
I swear the world’s gone crazy (I think I got the remedy!)
And ya I think I got the remedy that’s breaking out in song

Hey!
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Heh-Huh ha-ha ha!
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

Well ya the radio’s been playing, come on turn that shit up
Starting feeding from the television, can’t get enough
Catatonic stairs and vision prays that prison song up
All my love, all my love, all my love

We are living, it’s an evolution
We are singing, searchin’ for solution
We are hearing, songs of revolution
We’re swimming right upstream

But how are we to know?
When things have gone too far?
But I think it’s safe to say:

The world’s gone crazy (I think I got the remedy!)
I swear the world’s gone crazy (I think I got the remedy!)
I swear the world’s gone crazy (I think I got the remedy!)
And ya I think I got the remedy, and now come on music!

[Guitar solo]

Tick tock tick, those lines are going to explode
Yo there’s a riot burning down a city nobody knows
That’ll take no way way-way-way catatonic confusion
Brain malfunction adheres to delusion

We are living, it’s an evolution
We are singing, searchin’ for solution
We are hearing, songs of revolution
We’re swimming right upstream

But how are we to know?
When things have gone too far?
I think it’s safe to say:

The world’s gone crazy (I think I got the remedy!)
I swear the world’s gone crazy! (I think I got the remedy!)
I swear the world’s gone crazy! (I think I got the remedy!)
I swear the world’s gone crazy! (What now!?)

So let’s go crazy! (We don’t got the remedy!)
Let’s all go crazy! (We don’t got the remedy!)
Let’s all go crazy! (We don’t got the remedy!)
Ya I think I got the remedy that’s breaking out in song
