Who I Am

WHO I AM
Running around with a
gun in your hand
Shooting the world down
cause they don’t understand
Can't you see, don't you know
Who I am
And I can’t let it go
No way
Punching the air with a
Mad look in your eyes
Why're you always chasing
some worthless prize
Been watching too much T V
Living the dream
Just an actor in my own movie
Making a scene
How many times have I
Seen it before
Fight your way to the top
Like life is a war

BORDERLINE
This time it's for real
Before we grow too old
We're turning up the heat
Before things go cold
Looking round a corner
could be we're driving blind
Trying to tell the future
your peace of mind
You’ll never find it
Your peace of mind
But never mind it
It was borderline
It could take a life time
For us to get things right
We're taking it in turns
We're working through the night

TIME BOMB
Take Cover
You're a walking time bomb
Like walking on eggshells
with my lead boots on
Hold the fort
till the Cows come home
I hate being alone
Time bomb got me on the run
Time bomb spoiling all my fun
Time bomb gotta make a plan
Time bomb run it past the man
I found out
where the sound came from
countdown
it's all gone wrong
little Johhny
got his finger in the dyke
it's gunna blow his mind
Time bomb all run away
Time bomb now it's time to pay
Time bomb didn't think it through
Time bomb now it's not up to you
Times ticking away
it's ticking away Lookout
It's been coming
since the big old Boom
and the longer it takes to get here
well there won''t be any more room here soon
It started with a bang
and it ends in a flash
I hope you had time to spend

JIMMY CAN'T SLEEP
Restless
I lie here waiting
for the dawn
to burn my eyes
Jimmy Jimmy Sleep
Conscious
Can’t stop thinking
I miss my sleep
I’ve lost my mind
Jimmy can’t sleep
Takes so long but goes so fast
Just how long can one night last.
Takes so long but goes so fast
Sleepless
This ain’t no movie
Can’t get no justice
Let me go deep

SHOW OF HANDS
Can I see a show of hands
Can we make some better plans
I don't like what I see
happening to the world around me.
Fire burning me
Smoke too much to see
Space too far to go
even tho this place is 'bout to....
Blow me into space
Leave the human race
Time to let it go cause there's
Nowhere left to run
Nowhere left to hide
No more holes to drill
No more gold to mine.
Cannot see a brighter day
seems the gloom is here to stay
take the time to speak your mind
you may find the future can be kind.
Lies blinding me but the
Truth is there to see
All for one but none for all
that is why the sky is bout to......
fall out into space
Lose the human race
Time to let it go cause there's
Nowhere left to run
Nowhere left to hide
Goodbye goodbye goodbye

What's All This For

WHAT'S THIS ALL FOR
What's this all for
Sometimes I wish I knew
Who's keeping score
What have I got to prove
Who wrote the book
who wrote the rules
I just wanna be
part of something
before everything
turns to nothing
Running out of time
Gotta make a move
Is there anything
between win and lose
Who wrote the book
who wrote the rules
I just wanna be
part of something
before everything
turns to nothing

ANZAC DAY
Get up for the Dawn Parade
Reflect on Legends made
One hundred years
and miles away
This is the world those
legends killed and died for
Great War, one hell of a fight
Great War that made the world unite
What does it say about Mankind
it took a world of pain
to bind us all so tight
Do we remember
Do we remember them
Can't afford to forget
Do we remember
Our Freedom

BACK HOME
Trying to find a bright side
Can I buy a little time
Hold on, don’t you even think it
Living is just a state of mind
One way or another
One way or another
One way back home
Crying on the inside, the inside
Lying to myself all the while
Tell me was it really worth it
Knowing how the story ends.
One way or another
One way or another
One way back home
Dying to tell a story
Truth is you're not alone
Falling off a tightrope
Catch me, let me live in hope
