Thank You

CHORUS 1

Thank you for saving my loneliest life

Thank you for standing right by my side

Thank you for all of the creative fuel

Thank you for standing against the cruel

VERSE 1

Whenever the world was something to fear

I’d blast all your lyrics in both of my ears

My soul was on fire, I’d never get tired

Of all the music my bleeding heart required

I could stand up to oppressive forces

Run through them all like knights on horses

Break the walls down with the heaviest sounds

Thank you for being worthy of the crown

CHORUS 2

Thank you for giving me a reason to live

Thank you for all of the blood that you give

Thank you for taking away all of my pain

Thank you for keeping me happy and sane

VERSE 2

Don’t listen to haters, they mean you harm

They could never live up to your badass charm

Don’t listen to stalkers, they don’t know love

They’re no different from the ones who shove

Don’t listen to critics, they’re never happy

If they won the lottery, they’d still feel crappy

Listen to your heart, listen to your friends

Listen to anyone who will stay until the end

CHORUS 3

Thank you for fighting for what you believe

Thank you for never being one to deceive

Thank you for all the melodies and madness

Thank you for curing my ultimate sadness

BRIDGE

I bought your entire CD collection

They feel like an adrenaline injection

Spreading the message like an infection

Being yourself was the only intention

FINAL LINE

Thank you for everything in this world! Goodnight! Be safe!

Believe

Believe in the beauty of rock bottom failure

Believe you can cross rough waters like a sailor

Believe this world is yours for the taking

Believe in the beauty of the art you’re making

Believe your heart is made of pure gold

Believe you can crush the lies you are told

Believe your soul can never be sold

Believe the fire inside can never go cold

Believe in your own battle-tested story

Believe normalcy is so damn boring

Believe conformity is never the answer

Believe indifference is the ultimate cancer

Believe passion is more powerful than a pistol

Believe true love is stronger than a missile

If you know something in your heart to be true

Sitting back and watching isn’t the thing to do

You have a voice; it’s time to make your choice

Make a bold statement or just make some noise

Believe in your power to shake the landscape

Look beyond the train wrecks and bad days

Believe in your power to never give up

Despite the many days that just might suck

Believe the end is only the beginning

Believe this is truly a life worth living

Circus of Conformity

VERSE 1

Just like perfect little circus seals

You shower your master with squeals

Laugh at every joke like it’s actually funny

Surrendering your hardest of hard earned money

Never mind that he preaches victimization

On every newscast and every station

Never mind that he teaches hatred and anger

Never mind that he put you all in grave danger

CHORUS

Circus of conformity!

Suppressing the passionate, praising the ornery

Circus of conformity!

Accepting any idiot as the almighty authority

VERSE 2

Just like perfect little sideshow monkeys

You dance to rhythm like it’s funky

You take the abuse, it’s what you choose

Everything you’ve got is yours to lose

Yet you cheer and shake your moneymaker

From the wet nurse to the undertaker

Are you nice and comfy inside your grave?

Too damn bad, because you can’t be saved

CHORUS

Circus of conformity!

Suppressing the passionate, praising the ornery

Circus of conformity!

Accepting any idiot as the almighty authority

BRIDGE

Believe in everything that comes out of his mouth

Take it in the ass and keep shouting “Ouch!”

This is what you wanted; this is what you voted for

You’re living out your fantasy of being a puppet whore

VERSE 3

Just like scary old psychotic clowns

You’re haunting the darkest parts of the town

A ball on your nose or a ball on your mouth

Makes no difference when you can’t make a sound

Your nuts and backbone have been taken away

Too much of a snowflake to enter the fray

Get down on your knees and begin to pray

It’s what you do best during political decay

CHORUS

Circus of conformity!

Suppressing the passionate, praising the ornery

Circus of conformity!

Accepting any idiot as the almighty authority

Circus of conformity!

I won’t do what you fucking order me

The Greatest Show on Earth is almost over

Rid us of your verbal diarrhea foul odor

Liars and Thieves

VERSE 1

You spread lies like you spread your legs

Giving it all away free to anyone who begs

Libel is your bible and fraud is your god

Yet you wonder why you’re a lightning rod

Well placed punches never shut you up

You drink in sympathy like a coffee cup

Everyone is eating out of your filthy hands

Lies and rumors are the laws of the land

CHORUS

Liars and thieves! People to believe!

Thieves and liars! Slander for hire!

Gather around the cult of personality!

He chokes on bullshit ever so laughably!

VERSE 2

Reputations ruined and lives shattered

Spirits broken and psychologies battered

Brains feel number than a shot of Novocain

Hearts feel crushed underneath the pain

Weaponizing words is an act of war

You’re an iron dictator to the deepest core

Weaponizing fists is an act of revenge

Nobody stops until everyone is dead

CHORUS

Liars and thieves! People to believe!

Thieves and liars! Slander for hire!

Gather around the cult of personality!

He chokes on bullshit ever so laughably!

VERSE 3

A cold jail cell is the last circle of hell

The result of the fighting after the bell

The high school became a boxing ring

The final punch has dethroned the king

Justice or revenge? What’s the difference?

One takes longer and the other is instant

The road to hell is paved with bitter blood

There is no exit ramp to lead you to love

EXTENDED CHORUS

Liars and thieves! People to believe!

Thieves and liars! Slander for hire!

Gather around the cult of personality!

He chokes on bullshit ever so laughably!

The truth alone never freed anybody!

When no one even bothers to study!

Everybody wants to plant the seeds!

Of ignorance for the liars and thieves!
