Stevee It's great to hear that amid all the EDM and Hip Hop saturation Rock n Roll is alive and kicking out there. I love Rock Your Socks Off. It's got great guitar tone, tight rhythm and a vocal that sits perfectly in the track. Rock on 🎸

Area 51 04:22

Verse: You run your mouth bout a revolution But waiver in the face of fear When judgement day comes and all collapses Will you wonder what your purpose was here Try to raid the man? Risk a permanent ban? Revolting for a recall? With 3 mil to stand and a fist in your hand You know they cant stop us all Pre-Chorus Stir up the pot till the kettle is black Defy the constant agony and never turn back The black sheep mentality is Novocain But the song remains the same Chorus: When the world is on fire with a band aid for show Choose between fight or flight Foreign mans and treacherous lands Its passionate suicide Bulleted fun Chimpanzee guns Sanctify the barricade Pray to the sith Plead the fifth In the name of justice hail to the raid Verse: Anarchy was never the chosen son Its riddled with arson and cyanide Hierarchy rules the roost through puppet strings With humble adieu, rest in peace sir pride Pre-Chorus Stir up the pot til the kettle is green Defy their bounty lines and embrace the obscene Envious others shoot down your game But the song remains the same Chorus: When the world is on fire with a band aid for show Choose between fight or flight Foreign mans and treacherous lands Its passionate suicide Bulleted fun Chimpanzee guns Sanctify the barricade Pray to the sith Plead the fifth In the name of justice hail to the raid Pre-Chorus: Stir up the pot til the kettle is black Defy the constant agony and never turn back The black sheep mentality is Novocain But the song remains the same Chorus: When the world is on fire with a band aid for show Choose between wrong is right Foreign mans and treacherous lands Its classified suicide Bulleted class Government ass Sanctify the barricade Reckless arrest Death wish: the fest In the name of justice hail to the raid.

Rock Your Socks Off 04:59

I've been thumbing through the week tryna loosen my load I gotta, pack my bags I gotta, hit the road Musics under my skin and its rattlin my bones I've been saving and craving for that rock n roll But when I ditch the dirt to sing a little soul Preachers slap me cross the face with that damn same old So it's back to the garage where the magic began Volume to eleven and a loaded van They're yelling turn it down, you noisy little punks But a real skynyrd fan be'd saying turn it up We may be too young for the days of ole But the house stays a rockin with our rock n roll So with a bottle of fame in each of our hands We toast to the stage as a revelling band Whether 6 million fans or we're playing for two The crowd stays a'hopping with some rhythm and blues We used to dream of the day our'd music take its toll And now we liven up the stage with some rock and roll Come one, come all, come place your bet You'll move in a way you wont regret We'll remind you of a day when blues was bold The bass will stay a'walkin like its dipped in gold You can two step, twirl or twist all the same But when your socks rock off you have us to blame

More Time to Forget 04:19
lyrics

Verse: The clock strikes 12 and the demons lurk at the door Time doesnt stop for the faint of heart or the cured I'd like to think that my head is screwed on tight But heartache keeps my mind spinning through the night Chorus: If time was a capsule I'd rewind to better days With singalong songs and blonde figured sunshine rays I'm more than just a man who's marked with stets I'm the survivor who just needs more time to forget Post-Chorus: When names fade and only distant memories relapse What's left unsaid will merely define the last The simple truth is I need you now more than before But my guard is shutting down and I wait behind locked doors Verse: And now we stand bordered by lines drawn in the sand I'll pose for the day that I'll say hello again The shadows they seek the limelight day after day So I write them off with the things I'll never say -Chorus- -Post-Chorus-

Wrestling with tongues for way too long and I'm starting to lose my mind My temper is dead as disco and I'm finding it hard to find (be kind) Coalition Partition For the worst kinda good Red vision Indecision For the lyrical etched in wood Drink it down Baby Drink it down Seeking out sound for days on end and the groove just doesnt arrive Comfort in the punk crusade but the gods just keep the lie Butterfly banter Unconcieved slander Keep the tables turned Razzle dazzle Dream state babble Watch the treble burn Breathe in Feed in Breathe in Breathe out Noise bout Trumpets Sounding Voices Calling Inhale Gone stale Inhale Spit take Intake Poets Drowning Voices Feed your mind societal ways and the words oh they will flow Word scrabble fills the page and gluttons take the bone Flattop filter Off kilter House of silence falls Preach eccentric Skeptical limerick Soon to be ancient scrawls Breathe the sound Baby Breathe the sound Drink up Half cup Drink up Throw down Noise bound Trumpets Sounding Voices Calling Inhale Gone stale Inhale Spit take Intake Poets Drowning Voices Calling

Hey Toddy Toddy Careful changing your old ways Hey Toddy Toddy You're better off in a violet haze With your rebel flag on the wall You want to get caught in the thrall of it all After that last cigarette on the stairs Morality is lost to the air Hey Toddy Toddy As a kid you sipped your mama's wine Hey Toddy Toddy As a man you like your whiskey fine American pie with bottles around Teenage wasteland is a familiar sound Royal flush on down the hatch Inhibitions start to unlatch Rooms a'spinning and your head finally dips Morality is lost to a sip Hey Toddy Toddy Your speed is pushin 99 Hey Toddy Toddy Truck surfin knows no crime Visit the roadhouse and roll the dice Play your cards and pay the price You like to dabble in the finer things Morality is lost to a chain and some rings

Verse 1: Somebody tell me why They're telling me to keep it down Somebody tell me why Theyre telling me to keep it down I did no crime Still you give me time A poisonous taste in my mouth Somebody tell me why The world is run by crowns Chorus 1: They threw me away for life This is a rebels strife Verse 2: Somebody tell me why They're ignoring every claim Somebody tell me why They're putting me to shame I spoke my voice They made their choice Defacing my very name I hope they believe their lies Because I'm gonna rise to fame Chorus 2: They shoved a cork in my mouth But my empire's gonna be loud Verse 3: Somebody tell me where The world started going wrong Somebody tell me when They started singing corrupt songs I raised my hand I took a stand But failure to comply is wrong The world keeps telling me how I will never belong

Verse 1: Heaven or hell baby figure it out You kiss the ground she walks and you foam at the mouth Heaven beside you still you’re down on your knees Thought your mama said don't bite the hand that feeds Pre-Chorus: If you're barking at your chain then follow me down Looking for some hell to raise then follow me down Forgotten what's above then follow me down If you're looking for love don't follow me Down...down...down...don't follow me Chorus: She's underneath your skin, that's the sign of an itch Be careful boy we'll have to get you fixed Time and time again, I thought I told you to sit Make your choice before it's too late to switch Son of a Son of a Son of a bitch Verse 2: She throws you a stick, but you think it's a bone Keep chasing her tail or she'll leave you alone Bring her the paper and a morning rose But all bad dogs get is a flick on the nose

School daze got me singing the blues Wandering, lost, dazed and confused I want to change it, life's getting hazy All this work, I just want to be lazy We can't get a break they work us half to death Then they tell us, get over it It's worse than prison, wait for the bell Then move along to the next holding cell Sit yourself down, don't try to speak No rights to thoughts, no freedom of speech Original thoughts, think 1984 2+2 is 5 and thought police scores It's a guide book, the rules are writ They tell us what to do, what to wear, and where to sit Unoffensive wear, did I mention care To hell with their notes, go ahead and stare It's time for a change, gotta atest Time for this student protest

Verse 1: The rules they make they tear you apart They force them down your throat till it stops your heart A change is due gotta make a stand Yeah it’s time for a revolution Pre-chorus 1: Evil in this world It has no mercy On your soul But, I’ll tell you what you gotta do To fight the hold they have on you Chorus 1: Fight this revolution To make it to the other side Stand up for the things that make a change Fight for what is right Verse 2: All is fair in love and war Till Satan comes knocking on heaven’s door Pull some strings you won’t regret They tried to kick us out now they’ll never forget Pre-Chorus 2: Don’t let go of The things in life that you love you gotta fight To put your mind at ease Abandon conformities When they push you down get off your knees Chorus 2: Fight this revolution To make it to the other side Stand up for the things that make a change Fight for what is right Rebel against the things they say Raise your fist as the bell tolls When you come to the crossroads make a path Instead of selling the Devil your soul Pre-chorus 3: Paint your thoughts into a box Suppress my mind? I’d rather flat line People call it unorthodox Abandon conformities When they push you down get off your knees Chorus 3: Fight this revolution To make it to the other side Stand up for the things that make a change Fight for what is right Rebel against the things they say Raise your fist as the bell tolls When you come to the crossroads make a path Instead of selling the Devil your soul Chrous 4: Fight this revolution Stick it to the man with pride Smile in the face of the evil world Fuel your fire with hate and spite Turn your back on the norms Trash all the scorns Send the rules to a spiraling end Damned are the rules Damned are the fools Bleed to black the ink of the pen
