Trouble 05:33
The shit I pulled in my younger days set a path to where I am today Luck or fate I can't really say But it's trouble I've been in fights I could never win But always found a way to keep my skin I always end up on my feet again But it's trouble Now it's time that I be movin' on I got some debts; good will is gone I'm not sayin' that it isn't wrong But I'm in trouble I can tell there's a changin' tide But I can think about it on the ride No time to take it all in stride Cuz I'm in trouble Yeah, you can hide But she'll be there by your side... Trouble will find you where you lay And there ain't no use in tryin' to run away Trouble will find you where you stay And there ain't no hope and there ain't no point in tryin' to run away Fightin’, cheatin’; here I am again broke and beaten and I got no friends I try to pull the same old shit and then I’m in trouble I tried to run, but I couldn’t hide I tried to think a part of me had died But that was just my stupid fuckin’ pride And it's trouble Trouble Trouble

Winter's coming soon and Ricky got fired in June He's been partying late and starting his day at noon but his tune is changing everyday while his friends keep moving away tries to stay in touch, but he ain't got much to say anyway Meanwhile times are tough, and Jane's had almost enough He's been weighing her down, but she's staying around for love but it's rough she can hardly take the stress it'll pass but it feels like a test it's too much to stand but she loves her man the best so she says: Summer is gone and Winter will be calling it's that time of year the end's in sight And it won't be too long 'til all the leaves are falling it's that time of year time to set things right And now the future is unknown, and Janey's got dreams of her own now it's late in the Fall she could wait or be all alone and she's prone to stick to what she know and Rick is still taking it slow so she's making plans gonna take a chance and grow but she know... Oh, she know... She has the vision but this last decision is weighing heavy on her mind And despite their past together nothing lasts forever it's time to leave the past behind leave it behind...

Yeah, she's a scientist she's busy writing history, you see She loves the sciences but it's all a giant mystery to me She showed me how she coulda made an isotope and maybe now she'll put away the microscope If i'm the one to earn her trust, I'll do it right We'll keep that bunson burner burning through the night and we'll be... Boffin' in the lab On the bench boffin' in the lab A new discovery she's got enough degrees to say, okay Oh boy, oh lucky me I'm her discovery today... hurray! She checked the specimen all night, and said it's huge She's got its essence up inside her centrifuge Despite the way she catches signs I often miss If all the data matches my hypothesis then we'll keep... Boffin' in the lab On the bench Boffin' in the lab Let's experiment!

When he was young, he was fire; a silver tongue and some gold hands. But, now he's drunk, sick and tired... unsung, another old man He used to summon the thunder And bring Hell with a grand flame But then the drink took him under it’s such a fuckin’ shame! Fame's so day-to-day Ain't no way to say But great don't fade away No, great don't fade away Enough's enough, now he's ready it's been a while but he's strong now the bottle's gone, hands are steady And nothing can go wrong now It's time to bring back the thunder Time to bust out the gold hands Time to pillage and plunder Time to fuckin' dance! Glory wanes and dries up All these pains won’t last forever Break these chains and rise up Take these reins and ride again

This king, he thought he'd live forever just like any king before except maybe even more Some say it started with the weather plus he had a thing for war and all his enemies were poor But this king, well, he liked to swing; he would drink and live it up And though the people played his game they came to hate his name But in a daze, he was blind to his ways, and he just couldn't give it up, no But in the end, his greatest shame was when he had to take the blame And though his power spanned and he was known throughout the land But when those with crowns and thrones get out of hand The proudest tyrant empowered by his violent desire will now be silent devoured by the lions of fire The thing with kings, they all want to live forever and if no one's there to cut them down they ain't giving up the crown But sometimes the people band together trying to disrupt the crown he's always there to shut them down But when a king has crossed the line and it seems that he's lost his mind then with wings and claws they bring the laws of time The proudest tyrant empowered by his violent desire will now be silenced devoured by the lions of fire and he ain't gonna get away the crowd grows violent the coward's hiding high in his spire in proud defiance devoured by the lions of fire And all their sashes turn to ashes their power lust into dust In spite of all their worldly clashes, each dictator and fascist must contend with us because... We spar with giants we are the lions of fire We char your tyrants we are the lions of fire and you ain't gonna get away the sounds of violence abound in your declining empire renounce your tyrants and bow before the lions of fire
