Meet You Underground
03:26
|
|||
|
I can't remember when life begun
I'll never know what I'll become
I'll meet you underground.
I was a kid and then I grew up
I met a woman and she gave me love
I'll meet you underground.
Aint no way I'm not afraid
If you're old and tired and you've had enough
You can go to sleep and you'll never wake up.

Killing An Arab
02:34
|
|||
|
Standing on a beach with a gun in my hand
Staring at the sea staring at the sand
Staring down the barrel at the arab on the ground
I see his open mouth but I hear no sound
I'm alive
I'm dead
I'm a stranger killing an arab
I can turn and walk away or a I can fire the gun
Staring at the sky staring at the sun
Whichever I choose it amounts to the same
Absolutely nothing
I feel the pistol jump smooth in my hand
Staring at the sky staring at the sand
Staring at myself reflected in the eyes of the dead man on the beach

At War
03:20
|
|||
|
I'll let you see who I am
I doubt that you'd understand
I'm wide open
I'll look you dead in the eye
I have got nothing to hide
What's your problem
I'm not the one who's at war
Whatever that you're fighting for, it's wrong
Just get a hold of yourself
You won't get anything else
It's just hopeless
I can't believe what you said
What's going on in your head
I don't get it

Better Off
03:19
|
|||
|
I wish I could go back
I'd live the life I used to have
Now the best part's through
There's nothing left to look forward to
There's nothing left to look forward to
I'm not better off now
I'm just losing ground
The future can't be seen
I don't know what will happen to me
I cannot give up hope
or I'll hang myself at the end of my rope
Don't hang yourself at the end of your rope
Just one life is all I'm going to get
I have to learn to make the best of it
Let's make the best of it.

Virgin High
03:00
|
|||
|
We just want to get high
We’d be better off loaded
Fuck the bullshit and fly
You got to get the show rolling
Save yourself from the old and tired scene
Hurting for a way
I feel like I’m coming
I just gave it try
I think I’m to something
This is my virgin high
We discovered a sound
We discovered a potion
Nothing’s bringing me down
My habit’s set into motion
Now I’m into something new
and no matter what I do
I cannot forget my first time
If I pass this on to you
It will change your point of view
It will help you to expand your mind

What We're Living For
02:24
|
|||
|
We have everything we need
You can't have what you can't see
All we have is all we know
All we know we have been shown
Hold on Hold on
This is it
There's nothing more
Hold on Hold on
We are what we're living for
No one's seen the other side
It's just us until we die
I believe the heart goes on
It won't matter 'til I'm gone
Your spirit is flesh and bone
We weren't meant to live alone
What you see is what you get
Live your life
You're not dead yet
Can god hear you when you pray
We're a million miles away
Meet the world and do your part
Find the god within your heart

Nerve
02:59
|
|||
|
I'd rather quit than lose
I'd rather wait than chose
I'd rather run than fight
I'd rather live than die
It's not a weakness
It's not a problem
You shouldn't be concerned
I'm not living or suicidal
I haven't got the nerve
I'd rather suck than breathe
I'd rather watch than see
I'd rather crash than turn
I'd rather jump than burn
I'm just surviving life and I've forgotten why
If I was hypnotized then maybe I'd remember
Help me to remember
I'd rather be asleep
and I don't want to eat
Each time that I wake up
I've got to spill my guts
|

Come Together
02:48
|
|||
|
It takes two to tango
We have so much more
Everyone looks stupid standing around the dance floor
Come on let's get off
Let's get everyone involved
No one gives a shit do what you want
Hey y'all come together
You can't fight the feeling
There's too much chemistry
Let's cut all the tension and join hands in anarchy
Let it go man

Stop Dragging Your Feet
03:02
|
|||
|
I know you could use my help
You can't tell it for yourself
You've lost your way
Yeah, you've lost your way
You can't finish what you've done
You can't stop what you've begun
What can we say
Yeah, what can we say
You're below me drowning slowly
Stop dragging your feet
Stop dragging me down
You'd be better off like me
You can be what you want to be
It's all the same
Yeah, it's all the same
I think you know your time is out
You fucked around and there is no doubt
You've lost your way
Yeah, you've lost your way
That's enough
That's enough to kill somebody
That's enough so say you’re sorry.

Hurts to Laugh Nashville, Tennessee
Nashville's gnarliest band.
Hurts to Laugh recommends:
We Are Siamese b/w Open Your Arms
by The Lees Of Memory
The cuts coming from these major ragers are deep, reflect major life experience, and can't help themselves but become your inner monologue.
go to album
Ringo Jones goes all gothic with his Jager-syruped vocal stylings. High energy, stacked guitars, and a tongue firmly planted in your cheeks will get you off while you blow cash on speed metal.
