1.Let Them Know
作詞:Joseph Peter La Rocca
Prepare yourself for some new ideas
Or a resurgence of old standards
Open your eyes and take a look around
Revolution can be more than a dream
In a flash of brilliant light
Millions upon millions can be seen
The pressure's building up
To the point of no return
When the skies fall and the seas start to burn
Zimmerman was in control
Zimmerman let them know
There's trouble on, trouble on the horizon
The sound of revolution is seldom heard
Not attempted or maybe just ignored
Open your ears and listen to the warning
The pressure's building up
To the point of no return
When the skies fall and the seas start to burn
It's the end of the earth
No time to play it safe
Sink or swim, rise up or fall
It's time to make a change
It's the end of the earth
No time to play it safe
Sink or swim, rise up or fall
Something's got to change
Breaking down all the walls
Till every last one of them falls
It will begin when all else ends
Prepare yourself for some new ideas
Or a resurgence of old standards
Open your eyes and take a look around
Revolution can be more than a dream
In a flash of brilliant light
Millions upon millions can be seen
It's the end of the earth
No time to play it safe
It's the end of the earth
No time to play it safe
Sink or swim, rise up or fall
Something's got to change
Breaking down all the walls
Till every last one of them falls
It will begin when all else ends
2.Bored Teenager
作詞:Joey La Rocca
This is a story of a bored teenager
Stuck inside a category line
He had to abide by all the time
Then one day this bored teenager
Got tired of always playing their game
They all want to look the same
But you want to stand out from the crowd
All you do is try, try, try
But you're not gonna get out this time
Get back in line
You're never gonna change the whole world
Get back in the line
Must have been a fool to think that things could change
Get back in line
Rock the ship and get thrown overboard
Get back in the line
Must've been a fool to think you could change the world
This is a story of a bored teenager
Cast outside by different frame of mind
By the shallow assemblage he left behind
Sooner or later his boredom turned to anger
Kicked in the face by his so called friends
A brutal cycle that never ends
But you want to stand out from the crowd
All you do is try, try, try
But you're not gonna get out this time
Get back in line
You're never gonna change the whole world
Get back in the line
Must have been a fool to think that things could change
Get back in line
Rock the ship and get thrown overboard
Get back in the line
Must've been a fool to think you could change the world
Stay in line, what for?
Stay in line, what for?
Stay in line, what for?
Stay in line, what for?
Stay in line, what for?
Stay in line, what for?
But you want to stand out from the crowd
All you do is try, try, try
But you're not gonna get out this time
Get back in line
You're never gonna change the whole world
Get back in the line
Must have been a fool to think that things could change
Get back in line
Rock the ship and get thrown overboard
Get back in the line
Must've been a fool to think you could change the world
Rock the ship and get thrown overboard
3.One Shot Down
作詞:Joey Larocca
No one's there but I'm not alone
My skin's no longer my own
I'm a parasite host, merely a ghost
Of who I used to be
There's a killer running free
They say he looks just like me
Voice in my head, I was misled
By a stranger with my face
Now I got nowhere to run
I got nowhere to hide, someone disguised as me
Committed double homicide but it's to late
They won't stop till they have someone to blame
One shot down, two shot down
A pistol that belonged to my daddy
One shot down, two shot down
A life sentence for my conscience
With no chance of parole
Vigilantes at my door
They show no remorse
The gallows set, the town is met
For a hanging in the square
It's a fate that's worse than death
Choking on every breath
There's no escape, accept my fate
An eye for an eye
But its too late for me
To start to have regrets today
One shot down, two shot down
A pistol that belonged to my daddy
One shot down, two shot down
Personality fractured in two
One shot down, two shot down
They got what they deserved
Now they're laying in the dirt
4.Top 40
作詞:Joey Larocca
Idle fame with a plastic smile
Controversial relations keep you on top for a while
At the top of the charts, the bottom of the barrel
Success depends upon the company you keep
Compositions sugar-coated with messages puddle deep
Emotions bought and sold and the going rate is cheap
Gimme gimme gimme a lesson in pop star 101
'Cause I can smile and I can dance
Pull my strings and give me some cash
Because I don't wanna, I don't wanna
Lead a normal life and work like all the others
Top 40 look out, 'cause I'm gonna be number 1
Business tycoons are writing songs in crayon
Consumer reports show what needs good distribution
Appeal to the masses, the best as you can
Radio DJ's spreading your disease
Infectious transmission from sea to shining sea
Music without soul, an empty shell
Gimme gimme gimme a lesson in pop star 101
'Cause I can smile and I can dance
Pull my strings and give me some cash
Because I don't wanna, I don't wanna
Lead a normal life and work like all the others
Top 40 look out, 'cause I'm gonna be number 1
Radio dial, it can be heard for miles
But the only thing coming through is a narrow point of view
Just think one day, this could be you
Gimme gimme gimme a lesson in pop star 101
'Cause I can smile and I can dance
Pull my strings and give me some cash
Because I don't wanna, I don't wanna
Lead a normal life and work like all the others
Top 40 got no soul but it will when I take control
Because I don't wanna, I don't wanna
Lead a normal life and work like all the others
I don't wanna, I don't wanna
Lead a normal life and work like all the others
I don't wanna, I don't wanna
Lead a normal life and work like all the others
I don't wanna, I don't wanna
Lead a normal life and work like all the others
Gimme gimme gimme a lesson in pop star 101
Gimme gimme gimme a lesson in pop star 101
Gimme gimme gimme a lesson in pop star 101

5.Heroes By Choice
作詞:Joey Larocca
Can you hear the silence now?
The sound of oblivion
Mournful misfortune of the heroes
That we now have lost
Recognition of their past glories
Esteem that will never die
Heroes by choice or
Heroes by chance
Motive secondary to outcome
Buried inside an unmarked grave
No stone to tell us where they lay
So we pay our respect
In hope our memories won't fade
Seen heroes rise, seen heroes fall
Their mark can't be taken away
Heroes by choice or
Heroes by chance
Motive secondary to outcome
One, two, three, four
(Never die, never die)
(Memories will never fade)
(You can't take it away, you can't take it away)
(You're our heroes, you're our heroes)
6.Dungeon Walls
作詞:Joey Larocca
Pacing back and forth
The only comfort is the sound
Of the clanking of the shackles
As each footstep hits the ground
Made it through each lonely day
Only with the dream
Deep inside my heart
I know that someday I'd be free
Stuck inside these walls
Drenched in misery
I only have myself to be
My own worst enemy
Imprisoned in my thoughts
Insanity is nigh
Rotting like a foul corpse
And running out of time
Turn the key, unlock the gate
I'm going home, I'm going home
Curse this place and every blessed stone
Hooray! Hooray!
Out of the dungeon walls
Hooray! Hooray!
Never thought I'd see the light of day
Hooray! Hooray!
Out of the dungeon walls
See the city lights
I can smell the salty breeze
And the wind as it call
I'm out of the dungeon walls
I fell to my knees
As I kissed the sweet night
Said goodbye as it vanished
Into the morning light
Shed a tear for every line
I marked upon that wall
Everyday alive but
Without living at all
Freedom has its price
A price that I will pay
There's no fortune in this world
Worth losing one more day
I know I'll go to Heaven
I've already been to Hell
It's deep inside those dungeon walls
The place that I did dwell
Turn the key, unlock the gate
I'm going home, I'm going home
Curse this place and every blessed stone
Hooray! Hooray!
Out of the dungeon walls
Hooray! Hooray!
Never thought I'd see the light of day
Hooray! Hooray!
Out of the dungeon walls
See the city lights
I can smell the salty breeze
And the wind as it call
I'm out of the dungeon walls
Turn the key, unlock the gate
I'm going home, I'm going home
Curse this place and every blessed stone
Hooray! Hooray!
Out of the dungeon walls
Hooray! Hooray!
Never thought I'd see the light of day
Hooray! Hooray!
Out of the dungeon walls
See the city lights
I can smell the salty breeze
And the wind as it call
I'm out of the dungeon walls
I'm out of the dungeon walls
7.Song Of Babylon
作詞:Jason Larocca
How long must we wait?
Will this be the fate from a familiar past?
Now, when from these hills
Come the deafening shrills of peace at last
And he says, 'Son, you're gonna burn
You're gonna get what you deserve'
I don't think we've struck a nerve
What will it take for us to learn?
Your hands are like dust
As they betray the trust of everyone
And they all wave goodbye
As they light up the sky, each and every one
And he says, 'Son, you're gonna burn
You're gonna get what you deserve'
And I don't think we've struck a nerve
What will it take for us to learn?
This is a call to everyone
To sing the song of Babylon
How long must we wait?
Will this be the fate of a familiar past?
Yeah, when from these hills
Come the deafening shrills of peace at last
And he says, 'Son, you're gonna burn
You're gonna get what you deserve'
And I don't think we've struck a nerve
What will it take for us to learn?
Yes, he says, ‽Son, you're gonna burn
You're gonna get what you deserve'
I don't think we've struck a nerve
What will it take for us to learn?
8.Down
作詞:Jason Larocca
No one's there but I'm not alone
My skin's no longer my own
I'm a parasite host, merely a ghost
Of who I used to be
There's a killer running free
They say, he looks just like me
Voice in my head, I was misled
By a stranger with my face
Now I got nowhere to run
I got nowhere to hide
Someone disguised as me
Committed double homicide but it's too late
They won't stop till they have someone to blame
One shot down, two shot down
A pistol that belonged to my daddy
One shot down, two shot down
A life sentence for my conscience
With no chance of parole
Vigilantes at my door
They show no remorse
The gallows set, the town is met
For a hanging in the square
It's a fate that's worse than death
Choking on every breath
There's no escape, accept my fate
An eye for an eye
But it's too late for me
To start to have regrets today
One shot down, two shot down
A pistol that belonged to my daddy
One shot down, two shot down
Personality fractured in two
One shot down, two shot down
They got what they deserved
Now they're laying in the dirt
9.3rd World War
作詞:Joey Larocca
We'll come home when the battle's over
We'll come home with clothes all drenched in blood
This is the life we chose
This is how the story goes
For those who fight in the 3rd world war
It's us against the world today
You know, could go on forever
(Forever)
Pollute our minds with what they say
You gotta run alone but I know it ain't so
(Ain't so)
We can have it our own way
But we gotta learn to work together
(Together)
I see them capitalizing on other peoples woes
I see them on the streets and everywhere I go
We'll come home when the battle's over
We'll come home with clothes all drenched in blood
This is the life we chose
This is how the story goes
For those who fight in the 3rd world war
You try to understand everything we say
You try to analyze everything we do
Ask me what it is that we're fighting for
It's for freedom that we fight the 3rd world war
Living in the world today
I see that things could be much better
(Better)
But I'm never gonna give up
Not gonna lay my head down, no never
(Never)
You live your life for just one day
The faceless never remembered
(Remembered)
I see them capitalizing on other people's woes
I see them on the streets and everywhere I go
We'll come home when the battle's over
We'll come home with clothes all drenched in blood
This is the life we chose
This is how the story goes
For those who fight in the 3rd world war
10.Waiting In the Shadows
作詞:Jason Larocca
We've got a problem here, I can't go anywhere
Someone locked the door and threw away the key
Your weapon lives on fear but you won't find it here
I've gone my whole life letting it control me
But there's a criminal overt and subliminal
Who won't let us walk alone
Check under your thumb, not everyone's that dumb
Don't think that you could go unnoticed this long
Somewhere in this city, walking the streets
Waiting in the shadows
I feel uncomfortable, somewhat untrustable
With the consequence of your actions
There's never warning signs seems like he's doing fine
But underneath this there's a different man
Was it ever true? We thought that we knew you
But now she's dead on the floor
I'm leaving the ways, these are numbered days
We can't stand to let this go on anymore
11.This Ship Is Now Sinking
作詞:Chris Arredondo, Jason La Rocca, Joseph La Rocca, Ryan
Roberts
Slam the door shut again
We can't let them hear our voices anymore
I'm afraid that isn't up to me
We have no say in this matter anymore
But the only way to know
Is to just wait and see
We're waiting so patiently
At the bottom of the sea
We will rest in peace
'Cause there's no one around
To hear you make a sound
This ship is now sinking
So sink, we'll just fucking sink
And no one will remember that this was ever here
Don't laugh, this isn't funny now
This conspiracy of silence can't be happening
But the only way to know
Is to just wait and see
All the witches will float
And all the innocent will sink
At the bottom of the sea
We will rest in peace
'Cause there's no one around
To hear you make a sound
This ship is now sinking
The only way to know
Is to just wait and see
We're waiting so patiently
At the bottom of the sea
We will rest in peace
'Cause there's no one around
To hear you make a sound
This ship is now sinking
This ship is now sinking, sinking
At the bottom of the sea
We will rest in peace
'Cause there's no one around
To hear you make a sound
This ship is now sinking
12.This Is L.A.
作詞:Chris Arredondo, Jason La Rocca, Joseph La Rocca, Ryan
Roberts
This is LA, our city our home
Los Angeles, we never walk alone
Forever true we'll stay, in tribute to our city
No matter where we go, this is our home
On the sunset strip, the devil's hard at work
If you wanna play you gotta pay, you know
To keep the clubs from going under
That's the price to grace the floor, as every fool before
Underneath the haze, in the streets of this maze
All the way from the 10 to the 5 to the 134
These streets are nothing but a parking lot
But I don't care 'cause I'm not going anywhere
This is LA, our city, our home
Los Angeles, we never walk alone
Forever true we'll stay, in tribute to our city
No matter where we go, this is our home
It's 2 am again, when will I ever learn?
If those warm winds blow me home tonight
I'll have a place to lay my head
I'll leave my troubles at the foot of my bed
On the west coast shore, it's been far too long
So what if I got no money in my pockets
I'll always stand up strong
'Cause I'm in the city where I belong
This is LA, our city, our home
Los Angeles, we never walk alone
Forever true we'll stay, in tribute to our city
No matter where we go, this is our home, alright
This is LA, our city, our home
Los Angeles, we never walk alone
This is LA, our city, our home
Los Angeles, we never walk alone
Forever true we'll stay, in tribute to our city
No matter where we go, this is our home
This is LA, our city, our home
Los Angeles, we never walk alone
Forever true we'll stay, in tribute to our city
No matter where we go, this is our home
Forever true we'll stay, in tribute to our city
No matter where we go, this is our home
13.Media Control
作詞:Jason La Rocca
What are you willing to fight?
Are you afraid that you just might
Find something that you're afraid of
And run away in fright
Well I ain't gonna take it anymore
(What do you say?)
'Cause I know what you're fucking with me for
(What do you say?)
You're trying to keep me down from seeing what's beyond that
door
The truth is not what you see
(Media control)
Selling chaos on TV
(Media control)
The truth is not what you see
(Media control)
Selling chaos on TV
But don't think you fooled me
You know the words but you can't sing the tune
1939 it all happened too soon
But you played it like you meant to lose
You tied your fate right in a noose
But if sanity is my TV
(What do you say?)
Than I don't know whats happened to me
(What do you say?)
Your lies are a billboard telling me that I can't really see
The truth is not what you see
(Media control)
Selling chaos on TV
(Media control)
The truth is not what you see
(Media control)
Selling chaos on TV
But don't think you fooled me
I won't take to long to tell you all so long
I ain't ever coming back coming back
The truth is not what you see
(Media control)
Selling chaos on TV
(Media control)
The truth is not what you see
(Media control)
Selling chaos on TV
But don't think you fooled me
Don't think you fooled me
14.Back To Higher Ground
作詞:Joseph Peter La Rocca
I'm introduced to a plague of ignorance
Might be my own but I can't be too sure
Looking to rescued with no sign of deliverance
That can't exist, it can't exist
Hearts can grow so cold
In the heat of the moment
It freezes over like the devil's abode
Don't look so troubled
You're the salt of the earth now
We can't regress, we can't regress
Back to higher ground
Reaching up, we won't back down
Hope can dry up like the LA river
But droughts never last forever
A thirst for more is just human nature
We can't regress, no we can't regress
Socially conscious or self-consciously social
Show my true colors like a waving flag
Make up in strife for direction that I lack
We can't regress, we can't regress
Dancing on the grave
To the sound of savage victory
With the power we possess
We can't regress, we can't regress
Sing a song of freedom
Pay homage to the fathers
That paved the way for sonic liberty
A note that rings so true in all of us
We can't regress, we can't regress
15.My Own Enemy
作詞:Joseph Peter La Rocca
You make words of hate flow like water
Cascading down from my mouth
Make no mistake
I'm not good for your health
I'll make your dreams turn into nightmares
I'll turn your mind into stone
When that one goes rolling
Maybe you'll find one of your own
Putting civility to rest
Changing hands into fists
Turmoil easily erupts
I hope the dead can sleep standing up
I wouldn't be so paranoid
If the world wasn't out to get me
I'm so paranoid
Now I've become my own enemy
Look over my shoulder
Is my conscience watching me again?
He doesn't understand
The means justify the end
You could give me love or your warfare
You could leave me all alone
Nothing stays the same
But some things never seem to change
It's impossible to trust
Such friendly enemies
You can bury secrets deep
But they never will be put to sleep
16.Harder To Stand
作詞:Jason La Rocca
You don't know what to do
You're sitting there and you're all alone
You've taken everyone for granted now
You've got no place to call your home
Open up this, cut again
So it can remind you of the pain
That won't change the way you feel
When it goes away, you bring it back again
It may be harder to stand than fall
It's so easy to be nowhere
When you're nothing at all
Keep digging deeper this hole
'Til you cannot turn to anyone at all
Blaming everyone is so easy to do
And your shadow never seems to move
This scenery has got to change now
I don't really think it's good for you
You're scratching at your bandages
Never letting them heal the scars
Is misery your new best friend
Or have you forgotten who you really are?
17.Face Off
作詞:Jason La Rocca, Joseph Peter La Rocca
I think I've gone insane
What I tried to say
Doesn't matter now
You didn't listen anyway
Say it to my face
Show me what you got
You never show me who you are
Only who you're not
Woah, what did you say?
I'll let you think
While I stand here
And wait
Who are you to judge?
Those who know too much
You try to bring me down
But I'm never gonna budge
I'll say it to your face
I'll show you what I got
This is who I am
You can't make me what I'm not
Woah, what did you say?
Let you think while I stand here and wait
Let you think while I stand here and wait
Wait
Hey, what did you say?
What did you say?
Doesn't matter now
I won't listen anyway
Say it to my face
Show me what you got
You never show me who you are
Only who you're not
Woah, what did you say?
Let you think while I stand here and wait
Let you think while I stand here and wait
Let you think while I stand here and wait
18.My Defense
作詞:Jason La Rocca
But of course I'll say nothing of the sort
Don't let me have control of my art
Honesty and an empty bank account
Are my gun and hand full of rounds
But we've said it all along
The president was wrong
The only thing left
Is a hope that now is gone
And I want someone to say
That they'd listened to me
And if I learned one thing today
Is that you'd probably sue me for honesty
The floor is open we'll be taking questions now
Ask how to lose your mind I'll try to show you how
You left me tattered up and torn
You've been digging graves since the day that you were born
But we're frightened and alone
A place that I call home
The way to my heart
Is a knife through the bone
And I want someone to say
That they'd listened to me
And if I learned one thing today
Is that you'd probably sue me for honesty
The floor is open we'll be taking questions now
Ask how to lose your mind I'll try to show you how
I've left me tattered up and torn
You've been digging graves since the day that you were born
But we're frightened and alone
A place that I call home
The way to my heart
Is a knife through the bone
And I want someone to say
That they'd listened to me
And if I learned one thing today
Is that you'd probably sue me for honesty
19.Head Shrink, Dead Shrink
作詞:Joseph Peter La Rocca
Look inside my head
Tell me what you see
The truth is you see nothing
'Cause you don't know me
Intelligent facade
I know you're just a fraud
You hunt down
And feed on peoples insecurities
How many minds
Do you think you can control
You take diamonds and turn them to coal
Head shrink, dead shrink
Get your hands off of my mind
You think you set us free
Making us deaf, dumb and blind
Your definition of freedom's
Much different than mine
Afraid of what we'll see
If you don't steal our soul
Afraid of what we can, we can do
If we're not under your control
You tell me not to say a word
I have a voice and it will be heard
Head shrink, dead shrink
Get your hands off of my mind
Look inside my head
Tell me what you see
The truth is you see nothing
'Cause you don't know me
Afraid of what we'll see
If you don't steal our soul
Afraid of what we can, we can do
If we're not under your control
You tell me not to say a word
I have a voice and it will be heard
Head shrink, dead shrink
Get your hands off of my mind
20.These Streets
作詞:Jason La Rocca
What is it he should do? What is it he should do?
He's lived through each day
With out words to say
These empty pockets are nothing new
Losing his mind in this age and time
What is a boy to do?
Walking these streets with no shoes on his feet
All he can do is lose what to do
Too many words to say, too many words to say
So many people in this town
But there's no one around
These empty pockets are nothing new
Losing his mind in this age and time
What is a boy to do?
Walking these streets with no shoes on his feet
All he can do is lose
What is it he should do? What is it he should do?
He's lived through each day
With out words to say
These empty pockets are nothing new
Losing his mind in this age and time
What is a boy to do?
Walking these streets with no shoes on his feet
All he can do is lose what to do
21.Dead Men (Don't Tell Tales)
作詞:Joseph Peter La Rocca
With his final chance at liberty
Prepared to meet his fate
Too late for introductions
No longer will death wait
The way that things can change
In the brink of your demise
You never thought in all you're years
Your truth could tell you lies
Woah
With the slightest sense of dignity
He left his world behind
Upon his deathbed
Uncertain what he'll find
A coward to his heart
A solider in his mind
Marching to the battlefield
To a war that has no time
Woah
Trapped behind a wall of shame
No one can hear your cries
You find your actions similar
To the one's that you despise
Do the bottom of your boots
Have the blood of other men?
Or just the dirt from the streets
Of the city you live in?
Woah, yeah
You left your dreams to die
But they never seem to miss you
You'd love to tell me why
But dead men don't tell tales
Woah
22.Red Alert
作詞:Joseph Peter La Rocca
You're never gonna walk away from this
Nothing's gonna save your life
But you're waiting for the real apocalypse
But you couldn't see the light
You find something to keep you satisfied
But not for as long as you'd like
So you find a vice to buy you some time
But you couldn't afford the price
Now you're in the same situation
That you were before you came
When it's all said and done
Will you still feel the same?
Red alert
Run and hide, you're under attack
We're in a state of alert
Red alert
You've made your bed now there's no turning back
We're in a state of
You're living a lie
Prepare to die
Time's turning out, it goes
Tick, tick, tick, tick gone
Now you've backed yourself into a corner
Now you got no place to go
You thought that you found a new world order
But disorders all you know
You've got plans for a revolution
But it's harder done than said
When you find out that it's just an illusion
You'd be better off dead
Now you're in the same situation
That you were before you came
When it's all said and done
Will you still feel the same?
Red alert
Run and hide, you're under attack
We're in a state of alert
Red alert
You've made your bed now there's no turning back
We're in a state of
You're living a lie
Prepare to die
Time's turning out, it goes
Tick, tick, tick, tick gone
Making allegations, complicating situations
You thought, you made a name for yourself
But you're to blind to see
That you didn't change anything at all
Hide your head from the bed you made yourself
Red alert
Run and hide, you're under attack
We're in a state of alert
Red alert
You've made your bed now there's no turning back
We're in a state of
You're living a lie
Prepare to die
Time's turning out, it goes
Tick, tick, tick, tick gone
Bleeding heart, a dying soul
Staged as revolution
But your mind don't change
You still feel the same
Another false solution
23.All On Me
作詞:Christopher Arthur Arredondo
So your battle is over
To us the war has just begun
Another soldier surrendered
But we'll fight the war and win at all costs
You couldn't take all the madness
You couldn't take all the pain
Didn't know what we were fighting for
You made me realize it's all
It's all on me
Why'd you give up the fight?
Because of your surrender
We're behind enemy lines
You didn't just leave your brothers
When you fled you left your honor behind
I can take all the madness
I can take all the pain
I know what I'm fighting for
You made me realize it's all
