1.Who Sold Out Now

Check one, two
The plow that broke the plains
We as humans destroy everything,
well, there's limits to the land
Left the resistance and the monkey wrenchin' cause money rules again
Life is easier when your bills are paid,
you finished studies,
Masters degree
Now consulting development companies,
who sold out now?
Who sold out now?

Sixteen years old and live at home
In front your friends calling out at shows,
you left the scene cause your new girlfriend told you so,
freaked out on X at some rave or techno,
money rules again
Distro circus at every show,
I came to support these tourin' bands and nothing's free,
pay my ticket at the door,
who sold out now?
Who sold out now?

Constant complaining makes my ears ring
I care about hardcore but I hate the scene

The plow that broke the plains
We as humans abuse every way,
there's limits to me, friend
What happened to the brotherhood we shared,
well, money rules again
I'll give you anything if you just ask,
hung yourself from your own rope
I count my loss and just walk away,
who sold out now?
Who sold out now? [3x]

2.Veteran

Yeah, you're abandoned,
so sorry, you're just a waste of their time,
yeah, you've been lied to once again,
yeah, well, they've paid you no,
where are we, where are we now?
Where are we, where are we now?
Old woman, have you seen your better days,
are you feelin' so alone,
well, the times they all have changed,
forgotten,
hungry and cold,
veteran, are you satisfied with life,
are you sleepin' on concrete,
are you forgotten and alone,
poor, homeless in this country,
where are we, where are we now?
Where are we, where are we now?

Hey senior, have you been taken past your prime,
have you been taken advantage of,
are you forgotten,
tired and poor by the ones you've voted for,
yeah, you're abandoned,
so sorry, you're just a waste of their time,
yeah, you've been lied to once again,
yeah, well, they've paid you no mind,
yeah, you're abandoned,
so sorry, you're just a waste of their time,
yeah, you've been lied to once again,
yeah, well, they've paid you no mind

The slavery of poverty,
no one should be hungry in this country,
enough to feed,
to medicate,
to clothe the backs and housin' for families,
the cuts in care and Medicaid leads me believe our government just doesn't care,
we send our aid,
our misspent funds,
Americans hungry livin' in the gutter

The cuts in care and Medicaid leads me believe our government just doesn't care,
we send our aid,
our misspent funds,
Americans hungry livin' in the gutter

Where are we, where are we now? [2x]

Yeah, you're abandoned,
so sorry, you're just a waste of their time,
yeah, you've been lied to once again,
yeah, well, they've paid you no mind,
yeah, you're abandoned,
so sorry, you're just a waste of their time,
yeah, you've been lied to once again,
yeah, well, they've paid you no mind
(Yeah yeah yeah) [3x]
(Yeah yeah)

3.Fill In The Blanks

Feelin' alone, kicked out at fifteen
Father, ohoh, where am I gonna sleep?
I had a home, now hungry, tired, filthy
You had a son and walked away from me
Met your new wife, start your new life, you got no more time, busy
From house to house I sleep on the couch, whoever has room for me?

Bein' a man comes with a price tag
What happened dad, you walked out, left for dead
Negative thoughts became reality
Having a child should not be so easy

I pay the rent, brothers school payments, your responsibilities
I used to be your priority, you got no more time, busy
Met your new wife, start your new life, you got no more time for me
Don't understand what kind of man abandons his family

Well, I'd rather you yell and scream at me
Cause I can't handle all this apathy
Your life seems good without me
You chose your own path, I'm not the one, I'm not your son,
at least that's how you make me feel
From time to time I use my last dime to see if that you're for real
"I'm sorry son, I'm not the one, I've got other mouths to feed"
But for myself, forgive you dad, I'll be the man you'll never be

Met your new wife, start your new life, you got no more time, busy
Don't understand what kind of man abandons his family

4.Burned Up

Burned up,
my throat is ripped open,
I can't sing,
I can not scream,
havin' hard times,
fall asleep
Remind me,
I keep my spirits high,
it always could be worse,
right destiny,
my own life
Save me the daylight,
bring me home in this bus I call my own,
best friends I've ever known
Yeah

Bad karma collecting from my past,
the best time I ever had if my health was not so bad
Self made man,
made your bed to sleep,
you won't listen to nobody,
heads thick as hard concrete

Save me the daylight,
bring me home,
the best friends I've ever known in this bus I call my own
Self made man all hours of the night,
you don't lead a healthy life,
again I'll burn tonight

Burned up,
my throat is ripped open,
I can't sing,
I can not scream,
havin' hard times,
fall asleep,
when every meal's a punishment I'm on my way home,
I'm on my way home,
I'm on my way home,
I'm on my way home alive
Chance favors prepared minds,
again I'll burn tonight,
self made man,
made my bed to sleep,
you don't listen to nobody,
heads thick as hard concrete

5.No Regrets

It's in my head
And nothing changes what's been done if I regret not being there,
when the time has come,
when it's too late

No regrets, no time to change
A selfish choice can take its toll,
a sacrifice might make the day
No regrets, it's time to change
Could I have done more,
it's in my head

I hold my breath,
it's not too late and I know that if I had another chance I'd make it up to them,
I'd make it count
Built up but nothing changes what's been done if I regret not being there,
when the time has gone,
when it's too late

No regrets, it's time to change
A selfish choice can take its toll,
a sacrifice might make the day
No regrets, it's time to change
Could I have done more,
it's in my head
It's in my head [3x]

A selfish choice can take
Take its toll,
a sacrifice,
I'll try
Try, instead I hold my breath,
it's not
Not too late,
I hope it's all just in
Just in my head

No regrets, it's time to change [2x]
A selfish choice can take its toll,
a sacrifice,
I'll try instead,
I hold my breath,
it's not too late and hope it's all just in my head

6.Run

Run, run, run
Keep on beatin' them down,
what could make you so mad to beat your own children black and blue
Your time will come
The beat downs turn to you,
you call yourself a man,
your children black and blue once again,
black and blue once again,
black and blue

Run, run, run,
why don't you walk away,
abusive husbands,
a childhood lost,
betrayed,
run, run, run
The old man's drunk again,
from the hand that feeds has turned into a fist,
the nightmares are our memories,
the broken homes and nose that bleed,
afraid to stay,
nowhere to turn,
domestic violence tragedies,
run, run, run,
why don't you walk away,
abusive husbands,
a childhood lost,
betrayed,
run, run, run,
why don't you walk away,
you need to make a choice cause things will never change

I ask a mother,
why don't you walk away,
abusive husbands,
childhood lost,
betrayed,
ask my mothers,
why don't you walk away,
abusive husbands,
childhood lost,
betrayed

The nightmares are our memories,
the broken homes and nose that bleed,
afraid to stay,
nowhere to turn,
domestic violence tragedies,
run, run, run
Keep on beatin' them down,
what could make you so mad to beat your own children?

7.Bullets Included No Thought

Put down your gun punk,
put up your dukes son
Why can't you be a man,
fight me one on one
Don't need guns or knives to hide behind
Bullets included, no thought required,
senseless violence,
there's no excuse for this,
you live the path of most resistance,
create your own hell,
you live in violent times,
no respect for other peoples lives,
put down your gun punk,
put up your dukes son
Why can't you be a man,
fight me one on one
Emancipate yourself from stupidity
Don't look for handouts,
just opportunity
Tag your name on
Dirty toilet stalls,
claim your turf on subway urinals,
pay your rent by selling guns and drugs,
understand I respect you at all

Senseless violence,
there's no excuse for this,
you live your path of most resistance,
create your own hell,
you live in violent times,
put down your gun punk,
put up your dukes son

Tag your name on
Dirty toilet stalls,
claim your turf on subway urinals,
pay your rent by selling guns and drugs,
understand I respect you at all,
put down your gun punk,
put up your dukes son
Why can't you be a man,
fight me one on one
Don't need guns or knives to hide behind
Bullets included, no thought required

8.Required

Standin' outside,
lookin' over a place called home,
I couldn't stay,
leaves have fallen,
wind keeps blowin' colder,
winter's on its way,
my bags are packed,
the car is waitin',
my greatest fear,
you left alone,
once again my life sweet darling,
I've made my bed,
it's time to roam
Long live freedom where I come from,
place that I call home
Standin' outside,
sayin' goodbye,
it tears me up to go

Thousand miles oceans between us,
I think about her everyday,
this plane rides long,
these wheels keep rollin',
I call to see if she's OK,
it's dark and lonely all by herself,
it tears me up to walk away,
this time my sweet Nagyi darling I pray I'll see you once again

Long live freedom where I come from,
place that I call home
Standin' outside,
saying goodbye,
it tears me up to go

Kossuth Lajos azt üzente,
elfogyott a regimentje
ha még egyszer azt üzeni
mindnyajunknak el kell menni,
Éljen a Magyar szabadság!
Éljen, a haza!
Esik eso karikára,
Éljen, Magyarország!
a Magyar szabadság
Éljen a haza!

Long live freedom where I come from,
place that I call home
Standin' outside,
sayin' goodbye,
it tears me up to go
Because I feel so scared when you're all alone
This plane rides long and I miss my home
I feel so scared when you're all alone
These wheels keep rollin' on and on, ohoh

9.A Place Called Home

Standin' outside,
Lookin' over a place called home,
I couldn't stay,
Leaves have fallen,
Wind keeps blowin' colder,
Winter's on it's way,
My bags are packed,
The car is waitin',
My greatest fear,
You left alone,
Once again my life sweet darling,
I've made my bed,
It's time to roam
Long live freedom where I come from,
Place that I call home
Standin' outside,
Sayin' goodbye,
It tears me up to go

Thousand miles oceans between us,
I think about her everyday,
This plane rides long,
These wheels keep rollin',
I call to see if she's OK,
It's dark and lonely all by herself,
It tears me up to walk away,
This time my sweet Nagyi darling I pray I'll see you once again

Long live freedom where I come from,
Place that I call home
Standin' outside,
Saying goodbye,
It tears me up to go

Kossuth Lajos azt üzente,
Elfogyott a regimentje
De ha mégegyszer azt üzeni,
Mindnyájunknak el kell menni,
Éljen a magyar szabadság!
Éljen a haza!
Esik eső karikára,
Kossuth Lajos kalapjára
Éljen a magyarság!
A magyar szabadság!
Éljen a haza!

Long live freedom where I come from,
Place that I call home
Standin' outside,
Sayin' goodbye,
It tears me up to go
Because I feel so scared when you're all alone
This plane rides long and I miss my home
I feel so scared when you're all alone
These wheels keep rollin' on and on, ohoh


10.Hands On Stance

Hands on stance,
if you care love somethin',
see it threatened,
you'll get angry and fight,
scorched earth policy,
nature's not valued by our society,
sometimes you fight and you win,
most the time's a loss up against big monies,
murderous policy,
war on predators on public property, oh,
destroy what humans have made like a bulldozer,
called a vandal, criminal,
clear cut old growth trees,
called a logger, a miner, a businessman,
stand up and fight,
don't give in,
stagnant hands can't accomplish anything,
I value life over property,
the greedy hands stained in blood money,
sometimes you fight and you win
Stand ground but don't you give in
Sometimes you fight and you win
Stand up for what you believe,
the circus came to town,
bringin' misery,
white trash families bring the kids,
gawk at inhumane tragedy,
beat lions,
detooth black bears,
elephants on the verge of insanity,
rodeo hillbillies,
travelin' jails,
a side show circus freak,
sometimes you fight and you win
Stand ground but don't you give in
Sometimes you fight and you win
Stand up for what you believe
A hands on stance for
What you believe,
stand your ground firm
Because sometimes you fight and you win
Stand ground but don't you give in
Sometimes you fight and you win
Stand up for what you believe

11.By My Side

It's a battle,
all my own
but steadfast right by my side,
best friend I've ever known,
you've always had my back,
lost my stability,
straight down bloodied up my face,
pick myself up again but wind up on two feet,
it's a battle,
all my own,
machinery you can't control,
others complain about their worst troubles you wish were your own,
as the seasons roll on by you realize you're gettin' older,
it's a battle,
all my own,
what have I learned?
Best friend I've ever know,
the innocence as we've grown been beaten down before,
her good luck brings me in,
through good times and between the bad times made the difference,
I slept well constantly knowin' you'll never leave,
there was strangers in our midst but steadfast right by my side had many enemies,
you always had my back

(It's a battle, all my own),
machinery you can't control,
others complain about their worst troubles you wish were your own,
as the seasons roll on by you realize you're gettin' older,
it's a battle, all my own,
what have I learned,
the stares,
the glares,
the battle and fights
This malice put upon,
you can't be all right
The trouble,
the ill intent,
I'm sorry for you
Never yet again rearranging the truth

She holds my head up high
When I can't see,
fills my mind with thoughts
Good memories, she shuts me up when I'm
Screaming angry,
gives me guidance when
(I have no peace)
You stayed in my corner to fight,
stayed by my side,
I'm so tired,
stayed by my wrongs and by my rights

It's a battle,
all my own,
machinery you can't control,
others complain about their worst troubles you wish were your own,
as the seasons roll on by you realize you're gettin' older,
it's a battle, all my own,
what have I learned?

12.In Moderation

Too many people can't control reality of addiction,
runnin' all up hill,
carryin' a heavy load,
a life of excess,
abusin' every way,
your tattered health,
price tag you have to pay,
ambition falls apart,
your health will do the same
Achievement falls by the wayside,
an addict,
family's shame
This world is ugly,
a preachieved mistake,
when you have passed out drunk,
usin' around your kids,
won't give up your smoke,
it's too hard to break,
don't you find some courage for your families sake,
she did not marry you to be your punchin' bag
I'm sorry son but I was drunk,
why should I forgive you man?

Enough misery and hardship in this life,
why make more problems,
don't you have enough
cause moderation is,
it's the key to life but there's many things you should not even try,
well, there's no such thing,
controllin' heroin,
it will suck you back to pain and hell again,
stole from your mom,
you lost all your friends,
your weakness left no opportunity,
so if you fall again get your self back up,
just never give in and never give up,
if you fall again get your self back up,
never give in, never ever give up

So now you cleaned up,
you live day to day,
your tattered health,
price tag you have to pay,
stole from your mom,
you lost all your friends,
your weakness left no opportunity,
how can you be so weak,
let afflictions win the fight
Addictive personalities be on guard the rest your life

13.Pieter

Pieter was a gift,
still in my head and he
Never thought just of himself,
put his friends and family first,
was our friend,
we miss him dearly
Pieter was a gift,
he's still in our head and he
Lived his dreams,
never thought of himself,
he was a man to everyone else,
he had his day,
he never mistreated,
I have to say we'll always miss Pieter,
live your dreams,
never thought of himself,
he was a man to everyone else,
he had his day,
never mistreated,
I have to say we'll always miss Pieter always
I said he led the way,
he's always a leader,
the stars that shine,
I know that it's Pieter,
we often pray for his family's wellbein',
I have to say we'll always miss Pieter,
lived his dreams,
never thought of himself,
was a man to everyone else,
he had his day but he never mistreated,
I have to say we'll always miss Pieter always

Pieter

You appreciate life,
you found the best in others,
you left this world one bit better,
lookin' over us from up in the sky,
Pieter, you left your mark,
you have succeeded,
I've seen his dedications toward the ocean,
I've seen his pride and joy within his father,
mother, sister, brother longin' for you,
we'll all meet again after this life's through

Inseparably connected for life of one mind,
we always share everything,
I'm so grateful,
we're friends for life,
we're one family,
problem is too great to solve,
together we're, oh, so strong,
we all come from, from the same tribe,
we're friends for life,
we're one family,
I've seen his dedication toward the ocean,
I've seen the pride and joy within his father,
mother, sister, brother longin' for you,
we'll all meet again after this life's through

14.I'm Bored

I'm bored with all the lies you're tellin' me,
I'm bored with all this negativity,
you try,
turn everything around on me,
I'm bored
Time has passed,
I've paid my dues,
these wounds have finally healed
But I survived,
I've learned my lessons,
I'm finally free,
I'm bored with all the lies you're tellin' me,
I'm bored with all these fights,
I can not sleep,
you try,
I'm always somehow the bad guy,
I'm bored

Time has passed,
I've paid my dues,
these wounds have finally healed
But I survived,
I've learned my lessons,
I'm finally free,
I have survived

The rules that you live by
Betrayal by false friends
I've paid my dues,
I've lived with you for many long wasted years
The rules that you live by
Called on by friends
Ignorance is bliss,
blinded by it,
burned once again
The rules that you live by
Betrayal by false friends
I've paid my dues,
I lived with you for many wasted long years
Betrayed by false friends time and time again [2x]

You wash your hands,
you quit us man,
burned once again,
you wash your hands,
you quit us man,
burned once again,
I have survived

15.Sunday Bloody Sunday (U2)

Yes...

I can't believe the news today
Oh, I can't close my eyes
And make it go away
How long...
How long must we sing this song
How long, how long...
'cause tonight...we can be as one
Tonight...

Broken bottles under children's feet
Bodies strewn across the dead end street
But I won't heed the battle call
It puts my back up
Puts my back up against the wall

Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday

And the battle's just begun
There's many lost, but tell me who has won
The trench is dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters
Torn apart

Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday

How long...
How long must we sing this song
How long, how long...
'cause tonight...we can be as one
Tonight...tonight...

Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your tears away
(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
Oh, wipe your blood shot eyes
(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)

Sunday, Bloody Sunday (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
Sunday, Bloody Sunday (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)

And it's true we are immune
When fact is fiction and TV reality
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die

(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)

The real battle just begun
To claim the victory Jesus won
On...

Sunday Bloody Sunday
Sunday Bloody Sunday...

16.Old
17.A Place Called Home (Hungarian)

A csitári hegyek alatt régen leesett a hó
Azt hallottam kisangyalom, véled elesett a ló
Kitörted a kezedet, há' mivel ölelsz engemet?
Így hát kedves kisangyalom, nem lehetek a tied

Éljen a magyar szabadság, éljen a haza
Éljen a magyar szabadság, éljen a haza

Amodalent van egy erdő, jaj de nagyon messze van
Kerekerdő közepében két rozmaring bokor van
Egyik hajlik a vállamra, másik a babáméra
Így hát kedves kisangyalom tiéd leszek valaha

Éljen a magyar szabadság, éljen a haza
Éljen a magyar szabadság, éljen a haza

Kossuth Lajos azt üzente
Elfogyott a regimentje
Ha még egyszer azt üzeni
Mindnyájunknak el kell menni
Éljen a magyar szabadság!
Éljen, a haza!

Esik eső karikára,
Kossuth Lajos kalapjára
Éljen Magyarország!
Éljen a Magyar szabadság!
Éljen a haza!

Éljen a magyar szabadság, éljen a haza
Éljen a magyar szabadság, éljen a haza

Because I feel so scared when you're all alone
This plane rides long and I miss my home
I feel so scared when you're all alone
These wheels keep rollin' on and on, ohohoh
