At the Gates

In a small town born and raised
We spent our time kicking rocks all day
Along came a man full of heartache
He's breaking out backs and yanking our chains
You're stealing and lying
We're born and left to lose
Your babies are crying
Now you'll see
Everyone's gonna get back on their feet
They're at your gates
To shake their fists and dance their lives away
Cause all is gone
We're not born for the ground
We're man made, born a slave
What have we got left to lose?
They'll rob our minds to pay our dues
We'll pinch the pretty pennies up off the ground
You ain't no Jesus, quit playing around

Give Up My Love
04:32

You wanna take my hand
You want me to give up my love
So go ahead, I'll meet you there
Cause this night's only just begun
You want control of me
You want me to give up my love
So go ahead, I'll meet you there
Cause your voice is ringing in my head
Sparked with a kiss
A devilish grin
We've dug ourselves into this mess
I'm letting go
No self-control
You went and devoured me
You got me to give up my love
In your eyes
I realize
This is what you wanted all along

You Got A Hold On Me

Out in the spotlight
I hear you whisper my name
With a flick of your tongue
You're pulling at these reigns
I'm a broken boy
Pick me up off the ground
Take this broken boy
And slam a dollar down
I know I shouldn't do this to myself
Can't fight the temptation
I know you mean all and well
Your lust and manipulation
Cause when you're here with me
It's pure ecstasy
And it's drowning me
I'm slipping off my rope
Your taste will have me choke
You got a hold on me
Out in the cold
You keep me warm inside
You were that fix I would long to find
I'm a broken boy
Pick me up off the ground
You take this broken boy
To slam a dollar down

Line You Up
03:35
|
|||
|
Lets see these crowds start to form now
Hear the roar of you people
March to sound of his order
Put your backs to these corners
When we line you up
You're filling up
On what you thinks for sure
This disease, these prophecies
They're something we should ignore
Make a toast to your family
Poisoned water in the drinking well
Who's to say where I'm going?
I think I'll choose my own high road

I was born
To spend most of my days
Loving you
Cause you set me free
In the night
Where the sun don't ever shine
That's alright
I got you by my side
No one told me it'd be so bad
Lord, what should I do?
Cause I can't seem to stop loving you
Oh, my love
I was born a slave
All for you
I'd kiss the ground at your feet
I beg and plead
Til I'm weak at the knees
I get that taste
Of what I need
No one told me it'd be so bad
Lord, what should I do?
Cause I can't seem to stop loving you

Heart and Soul
05:14

I can't stop the new age from coming
I can see the change now
I can't stop us from where we're going
There ain't no way now
Desensitize to this new rule coming
I can see the sun drown
Lizard skin, killing kin, poor man running
There ain't no way out
Just come and go
Before they take away the heart and soul
Of what we built
We'll be picking pieces off the ground
Vultures circling me now
I'm tired of all the lies I'm told
To take away the heart and soul
Gotta stop the new reign from coming
Gotta be the change now
Old man blues got this show rolling
And they're gonna tie me down
Smoke in mirrors with your house of cards falling
I'll jester to these kings now
A little dance at first glance to keep your heads rolling
Robbing them in their sleep now
Just come and go
Before they take away the heart and soul
Of what we built
We'll be picking pieces off the ground
Vultures circling me now
I'm tired of all the lies I'm told
To take away the heart and soul
