Mouths Wide Shut

Sit back down & behave now, don’t raise no insecurity, that’s disrupting the plan,
So just behave now, we can keep doing the things we do
Sit back down & behave now, in an orderly fashion with the planned distraction yeah
And just behave so we can keep doing the things we do
Never been the kind of man, to want some of the action or to know the plan
Right now the paranoia is my sole destroyer
And I need to know what’s going down
We’re signing all our lives away, cleverly disguising in the way we play
Here’s my identity, it can be yours for free
I’ve been good and I played your game
Take a new technology, opens up the world and makes us feel more free
But in reality, we’re voluntarily
Signing up to what we used to fight, so let’s start
Reclaiming our humanity, cos one of your little microchips are touching me
Right now sisters and brothers like a million others
Are wise cos we know your game
This is for everybody out there, Turning blind eyes to the world outside,
You need to take control of your lives
This is for everybody in there, Distracted by the lies of the world inside,
You gotta gain control of your lives
Because as long as we believe we’re in a world that’s free,
We’ll always be another cog in the machinery,
You’re not fooling me, this is slavery,
Not physically but economically
And as long as we can contribute financially,
Our little lives are gonna get easier substantially
But when the money that we earn is all imaginary,
Then how can it be, that you’re still telling me to…

Simon Says

If you stick your hand in the fire, you’re gonna get burn burn burn
And if you take advice from the devil a lesson you’ll learn
You can risk a leap of faith, might not fly like a bird, bird, bird
And if you fall in love again, maybe you’re gonna get hurt
Don’t tread so carefully, or you’ll never get to see what might have been
At the same time, don’t throw it all away
What Simon says, don’t have to do it, What Simon says, ain’t always right
Gotta do what you want in this life, Gotta live how you want in this live
You can take occasional risks and it might get you far, far, far
You can live your life to the book never know who you are
But don’t choose the easy door just cos they’ve left it ajar, jar, jar
Cos the imitating fool doesn’t shine like a star
I’m making my own way tonight, I’m doing my own thing tonight
And if you don’t think it’s alright, I don’t mind I don’t mind I don’t mind
I’m making my own rules tonight, I’m playing my own game tonight
And if you don’t think it’s alright, I don’t mind I don’t mind I don’t mind

Restless Man
03:44
|

You know that I’m not alright, when I’m sitting all alone and I’m twiddling my thumbs
I’m a restless man, my brain’s always thinking bout something something,
I can’t sit ‘round saying nothing, nothing, why can’t I just chill?
I’m a restless man, my mouth’s always talking bout something something,
I can’t sit ‘round saying nothing, nothing why can’t I just chill?
Buddabye bye bye bye buddabye bye bye bye and I am never gonna be happy while I’m wasting my time
Buddabye bye bye bye buddabye bye bye bye and I aint ever gonna be happy til this world is mine
Cos I’m a conqueror it’s in the way I move me feet and I’m a conqueror, it’s in the way I feel the beat
And I’m a conqueror so if you look into my eyes I’m gonna conquer ya and take you for a little ride with me
Cos this kind of thing you ain’t getting for free, if you just sit round on your butt lazy
And even if you think that i’m a little crazy, then it’s fine by me because I’m happy to be
A workaholic and a restless man, when I’m set upon a mission then I stick to my plan
My wheels are turning just as fast as they can, when my goals are set and I want action
Keep moving, when you can’t sit down, Keep working that’s why I’m tellin ya tellin ya

Behind Closed Doors
05:13
|

|
Well she’s stepping out, once again concealing it from getting out, a reality to forget about
Under woven mats to be brushed away, for another day
Could be easier, if she took the option to leave here, it’s getting harder and harder just to breathe here,
So just cut the ties and defeat the lies
Well she paves her way every morning, hides her eyes from the people staring
Covers up the pain she’s feeling with a smile
All the layers that she’s wearing, stop the bruises from declaring
The reality she’s living with denial
Cos she knows that if she don’t stop giving it to him then he won’t stop giving it to her so please stop giving it in and get away, get away, get away
Because she can stop, if she just believes is she will stop, everyone can see it so please stop, break from the chains and go!
So she’s blocking out, all the pain inflicted from the lashing out, thinking nobody wants to know about
With her head held high she can smile again, only for pretend
But it seems to me, that she is trying to hide what is plain to see, she’s living every second in misery
Needs to break away and be free today.
Oh she’s piling on foundation, just to hide all her desperation in a world she thinks is turning a blind eye
While attention she’s averting, deep inside I know the girl is hurting, clearly even bravest faces show a cry
Hear me calling, this is an SOS we need some help for this girl in distress,
Gonna change her days from grey, into a life where she can chase the pain away
Here me calling, I’m saying stop and pause and take a look just behind closed doors,
Cos a smile can hide a lie, but there’s no dressing up the way you feel inside.

Well I've Been Told
04:41
|
|||
|
Well I’ve been told, that I should bite my tongue when I’m talking
And I’ve been told, that I can cut you up with my words
And I’ve been told, that everything I say is designed just to bring you down
But that ain’t true, I only speak my mind to you
Every little thing I think and say and do
Ain’t no calculated mission just to make you sad and blue
Cos everything I think and do and say is for me
You’re not so important that I’ll waste my time and energy
On you, not gonna be holding back this time on you,
I’m gonna be speaking from my mind on you,
Cos everything I’m gonna say is true, true, true
On you, i can’t be holding back this time on you,
I’m gonna be speaking from my mind on you,
I cannot hold this back, so let the words come from me heart
So what’s the point of even asking how I feel?
When the answers that I give are gonna hurt you if they’re real and
Maybe you should write a list of things to say,
So this poisoned tongue cannot freerun and spoil another day for you…

By Your Side
03:40
|

|
Mmmm well it hurt’s me to see, that the girl that I love is living in misery but
You chose him and now I’m blue, gotta pick up the pieces for you
Ohhh and I watch from afar, I can see that you’re not happy with the way that you are anymore
So let’s try it again cos I know… oooh
It’s gonna be alright, baby when I’m by your side,
It’s gonna be alright, this time
Mmmm when I look in your eyes, I can see that you’ve been hurt before a million times and
It’s okay, we make mistakes I feel pain when this little heart breaks
Ohhh but I’m letting you in, and maybe I’m a fool for being so forgiving, but I know
We should give ourselves one more go
It’s gonna be alright, baby cos I’m by your side again
It’s gonna be alright this time

Earn Your Stripes
04:33
|
|||
|
I ain’t gonna sit around and waste no time waiting for things to come
Cos if I take my life in these hands of mine, who knows what I’ll become
I live my dreams, never give up for a minute
My eyes on the prize locked down so I’ll win it
Ambition is critical please don’t let it go…
Because I don’t want to live that way
Thinking that it’s gonna fall into your laps well you’ve gotta earn your stripes
When you click your finger and nothing comes then you need some sound advice,
So carefully tread, don’t slip off the path you’re taking
And build yourself up from mistakes you are making
The road is a long one but please don’t turn away
Tired of living/thinking with a shoulda done this when I really shoulda done that
Tired of living/thinking with a shoulda said this when I really shoulda said that

I’m gonna be chilling in on my one tonight, I’m gonna be chilling in on my own tonight
I’m gonna be changing the way that I’m thinking and setting my record straight
I’m gonna be chilling in on my own tonight
I’m gonna be staying in with my thoughts tonight, I’m gonna be staying in with my thoughts tonight
I gotta be changing the way that I’m thinking and getting my head damn straight
I gotta be staying in with my thoughts tonight
Cos everybody needs a little time alone,
There ain’t nothing wrong with doing things on your own
But take my advice and don’t be shy to yourself, for no one else
I used to be afraid of my own company
When my mind starts wandering down that darkened street,
But not I turn negativity upside down
I used to be uncomfortable in my own skin
Cos no matter what I do I simply don’t fit it
But none of that stuff means a thing anymore, so rest assured
A little bit of quality time with you
Will allow you to unwind and sort your problems through,
So take a break and reacquaint with yourself
Just make a little time for yourself,
Y’all know chilling out is good for your health
You gotta be strong rise up, never get knocked down
When there’s only you around

Money People
02:52

Too many money people in the world
Too many people with priorities that aren’t right
Too many money people in the world
Well i’d be happy to exist, in a world where no one’s rich
Well I’d be happier than this doing my own thing
What’s the point in being a big shot? I’m content with all that I’ve got
Don’t wanna live no life that’s full of gold, when I’ve got diamonds in my soul
And I know, don’t need material things to satisfy,
I’ll be just happy to get by
What’s the point in a fancy car? My old banger will get me as far
Don’t need to get from A to B in style, as long as I’m travelling with a smile
And yes it’s true, don’t have no interest in expensive taste
No I’m not running that race
What’s the point in social status? Don’t need a class or rank to rate us
Don’t want a high flying job to tie me down, so I can’t spread my love around
It’s plain to see, the same routine is happening every day
Time is the currency and price we pay
We work and work until our lives decay and I know
I’ve just gotta break away

Out To Get Me
03:48
|
|||
|
Well I’m running away, when reality’s too much for me to face
And I’m hiding away, through the looking glass there’s someone in my place
Cos I don’t recognise my face
Well I think everybody’s out to get me, well I think the world aint on my side
well I think nobody wants to protect me but I hope it’s all in my mind
Well I’m burning away, all the bridges I was building when my mind was running wild and free
And I’m cutting away, all the things that bring me positivity, cos I’m my own worst enemy
So when you’re down on ambition and you think you’ve lost direction
Then look another way
Cos every road has an ending, but a new one’s just beginning
So make a move today
And when you feel like you’re out of luck, no matter where you turn you’re stuck
You gotta wriggle free
So on yourself be forgiving, cos a life is not worth living in negativity

Same Style
04:11
|
|||
|
It’s time to make a change,
Been stuck now in a rut doing the same thing for days and days
And weeks and months and years,
It’s time to take it on, talk it out and shift it up a gear
You’re telling me i’ve just been keeping my mouth shut,
Been sitting on a fence saying nothing now I’m speaking up
There’s things need getting off my chest,
Questions needing answers so this man can lay to rest oh,
We’re all unhappy with the world right now
And we feel powerless and battered down
But if we all stand strong,
Together we can move along
And even though I got the same style,
You don’t recognise my face
Cos I’m a different man than I was before
And even though I wear the same smile,
You can’t hear a word I say
I’m saying different things than I did before, na na na na
I think we’d all agree, the actions of the nation aren’t decisions made by you and me
There’s no point giving us a choice,
if fiddling the numbers doesn’t represent our real voice
Yet right before our eyes,
You’re dressing up the story there’s a bigger picture in disguise
Can’t hide away no more, exposure is the key, we can see but you still ignore.
