Thousandaire:
—
You say you’ve got a place where,
dreams just go to die
Well, we say: “Clear the runway”
we are about to take flight
So many people try to shoot us down
because it’s easier than trying
we’re too interested in living
they are too busy dying

You say I’m born to lose, but baby, I’m born to win,
failure is still a problem, but not trying is the sin

You may doubt my success, but baby I’m a thousandaire
millions can bring the bummer, but man I hardly care
I am not much for preaching, but lethargy’s a sin (let the Jesus in!)
Don’t just prepare to lose, you must prepare to win

Prepare to win!

There’s been so many people,
they try to tell us: “No way”
So many reasons not to try,
why even get out of bed?
So, that’s why we’re here to tell you:
“You can do anything.”
Let’s power through this one baby,
we have no time for apathy. No, no.

You say I’m born to lose, but baby, I’m born to win,
failure is still a problem but not trying is the sin
And when we have our chance, we’ll make it a real thing,
give me just one win my dear, and I can do anything.

You may doubt my success, but baby I’m a thousandaire
millions can bring the bummer, but man I hardly care
I am not much for preaching, but lethargy’s a sin (Let the Jesus in!)
Don’t just prepare to lose, you must prepare to win

Prepare to win!
Prepare to win!

You may doubt my success, but baby I’m a thousandaire
millions can bring the bummer, but man I hardly care
I am not much for preaching, but lethargy’s a sin
Don’t just prepare to lose, you must prepare to win

Party Savior:
—-
I see something amiss (Suit up! suit up! Where’s the Party?)
Is there something that I missed? (Suit up! suit up! Where’s the Party?)
You’d like to get away (Suit up! suit up! Where’s the Party?)
Believe me you want to stay

You’ve got some better times ahead (Hey, hey, it’s the party savior!)
I will keep at this until I’m dead (Hey, hey, it’s the party savior!)
Let’s liven things up, tear the roof off
Yeah, yeah, you know it’s true
this is your life, and it’s starring you

It appears this party’s dull (Hey, hey, it’s the party savior!)
Seems like everyone’s been lulled (Hey, hey, it’s the party savior!)
prepare the crown it’s time to reign (Hey, hey, it’s the party savior!)
this place is about to go off the chain

We’ve got some better times ahead (Hey, hey, it’s the party savior!)
We will keep at this until we’re dead (Hey, hey, it’s the party savior!)
Let’s liven things up, tear the roof off
Yeah, yeah, you know it’s true,
The Party Savior could be you

We need a party savior now, to lift us up someway, somehow.
We need a party savior now, to lift us up someway, somehow.
We need a party savior now, to lift us up someway, somehow.
We need a party savior now, to lift us up someway, somehow.

Lies, and the Lying Liars That Sell Them:
—-
You make me wish, I belived in Hell, so you could go there (yeah, yeah!)
Some sweet comeuppance, with your platitudes getting you nowhere (yeah,
yeah!)
Emperor had no clothes, but you kicked up dust,you played your role.
(yeah, yeah!)
Hey Karl, You may be a genius, but you’re still an asshole.

We are…
Surprised by the size of your lies
You sell fear in a cunning disguise
Repulsed by how you sell the lie
You’re a waste of flesh, and we’re low on supplies
outraged by the strength of your lies.
You sell fear in a cunning disguise
you are so good at selling the lie
worst of all you think you’re a good guy.

MC Rove was the hit of the political season (yeah, yeah!)
You controlled the message, you controlled the medium (yeah, yeah!)
So tell me Karl, why are you hated, tell me what is the reason? (yeah, yeah!)
See Karl: We think you should be hanged, be hanged for treason.

We are…
Surprised by the size of your lies
You sell fear in a cunning disguise
Repulsed by how you sell the lie

outraged by the strength of your lies.
You’re a waste of flesh, and we’re low on supplies
you are so good at selling the lie
worst of all you think you’re a good guy.

The tragedy isn’t just with the lies, it’s the liar that sells them.
The tragedy isn’t just with the lies, it’s the liar that sells them.
The tragedy isn’t just with the lies, it’s the liar that sells them.
The tragedy isn’t just with the lies, it’s the liar that sells them.

You lie, lie, lie, but you can’t stand up
You sell us: lies, lies, lies and chaos erupts
you sell us: lies, lies, lies won’t you please shut up?
you sell us: lies, lies, lies won’t you please shut up?

SHUT UP!

Hey Karl, you may be a genius, but you’re still an asshole.

Turn Down The Guitars:
—-
Turn the guitars down! It’s time to sculpt the sound
The volume is too high, he’s not horsing around
Turn the guitars down! It is a classic standoff
We’d like to play at 11, he’d like to turn us off
Turn the guitars down! No melting of face
and that is the reason, this song features the bass
Turn the guitars down! You have to know your role
or you, won’t hear the vocals
because there’s no loud guitars in rock ‘n roll.
no!

This band is much too loud, they’ll never succeed unless they turn it down (turn it down!)
And in case you forget (it’s too loud!) that is as low as it gets
This band is much too loud, they’ll never succeed unless they turn it down (I’ts too loud!)
We’re rocking to you (turn it down!)
Turn it down you fool

Turn the guitars down! It’s too ding dang loud
This room sounds much different, when there is a crowd
Turn the guitars down! Or he’ll, increase the fade
Our volume the inverse, of how much we get paid
Turn the guitars down! We have no time to kill
And that is the reason, this line has a drum fill
Turn the guitars down! And adjust the PA
No reverb is needed, just crank up the vocals
and drop the 7K!

Turn down, turn down, turn down the guitars!
Turn down, turn down, turn down the guitars!
Turn down, turn down, turn down the guitars!
Turn down, turn down, turn down the guitars!

Not Returning:
—-
I left my hometown like a convict in a prison break,
small mindedness and boredom were just too hard to take.
I left my hometown like a bullet leaves a loaded gun,
had I stayed well I’m sure I would have killed someone
I left my hometown because it did not suit my taste
no plan… no money… and no time to waste.
I left my hometown without a thought or care,
I left my hometown, because I could not stand it there.

Just…
Get out, just bail… nothing for me might as well set sail
Get out, hit the road… wherever I end up is home
get out, can’t take on more… burn it down because I don’t live there anymore
Get out, show some pep… the longest journey begins with one step

I left my hometown like a lifeboat leaves a sinking ship,
I saw the life ahead and, I was just done with it,
I left my hometown because of cultural toxicity
I needed more than liquor stores and cable tv
I left my hometown without ever looking back.
unleashed on the world just like a heart attack
I left my hometown for adventure and exciting things,
I’m out, I’m gone, I’m not returning.

Get out! Get out! Get out! Get out!
and never come back.
Get out! Get out! Get out! Get out!
we’re not returning
Get out! Get out! Get out! Get out!
We’re outta here.
Get out! Get out! Get out! Get out!
Get out! Get out! Get out!
Get the hell out!

Relentless!:
—-
And you can’t make us wait forever
You could stop us if you tried
we made no claims it would be easy
we simply will not be denied

We never said that we were perfect
Can save that for those without sin
all i’ll say is to get prepared babe
get yourself ready for an epic win.

so get ready.

We reach, we try, never stop punching, never say die (never say die), no, no, no, no, no never!
You say, you’re dragged down by my song,
to hell with that I’ll prove you wrong, we’ll prove you wrong, we’ll prove you wrong, we’ll prove you wrong.

Keep people busy with the small things,
and the big things they will just slip by
Did you think this would be easy?
Relentless we never say die!

Here’s a toast for those who don’t follow the script
for good things that don’t die on the vine
If there is one thing I have learned here,
the first battle is fought in the mind.

And we’re winning…

You say, you’re dragged down by my song, to hell with that we’ll prove you wrong, today, and i’ll celebrate.
You say, you’re dragged down by my song, to hell with that we’ll prove you wrong, today, and i’ll celebrate.
You say, you’re dragged down by my song, to hell with that we’ll prove you wrong, today, and i’ll celebrate.
You say, you’re dragged down by my song, to hell with that we’ll prove you wrong, today.

Doubtbreak:
—-
Flat out wasted, you’re flat out wasting away.
Long dark tea time, of the soul, you used to make them pay
You used to be cool man, whatever happened to those days?
Wish you could follow through yeah, follow through on half the things you say.

I’ll believe in you, and you can believe in me
I’ll believe in you, even when you don’t believe in me
We will repeat (we will repeat!), until we get it right
we still aim high, we will not lower our sights

Flat out foolish, can’t believe a single word you say
All talk, no action, why must you open the haterade?
All hands on deck now! We’re needed, time to save this day
No time for this doubtbreak, the antigen is on it’s way.

Home Is Where You Hang Your Hope:
—
We spend our whole lives waiting for the good things to start (and we’re ready!)
We spend our whole lives waiting, waiting and just failing apart
sometimes bad things happen for, no reason at all
and it’s usually darkest, right before the fall.

This face will start a future, these hands destroy the past
Together we can do it, hoist the flag up on the mast
What is past is prologue, what’s done can’t be undone
I do not care what came before, we can make it if we run

Home is where you hang your hope (It’s just gotta go somewhere)
Home is where you hang your hope (even when you’d rather hang from a rope)
Home is where you hang your hope (you get tough, you get through it)
Home is where you hang your hope (you get tough, you get through it)

We’ve spent our whole lives waiting for the good things to start (and we’re ready!)
we’re ready, we’re not waiting, we know it in our hearts
Sometimes great things happen when, you get involved
Close your eyes, get tough, we can break right through the wall

You Can’t Stop The Signal:
—-

Fought the good fight, but the ship still sunk (you cannot stop the signal)
The captain’s dead and the first mate’s drunk (you cannot stop the signal)
This ship, it could be your life (you cannot stop the signal)
Every failure and regret cutting like a knife… if you let it.

There are other stories, but this ones ours
We shall not falter we will not cower
Tell this story to every girl and boy
You can’t stop the signal, can’t stop the noise.

Treading water in a sea of despair,
riding the cliches and gasping for air
This boat is sinking and it’s in no way just
you spy a sign and what is written to us?

We heard you.
somebody listened, somebody cared
We heard you
somebody listened, somebody cared
somebody listened out there

There are other stories, but this ones ours
We shall not falter we will not cower
You’ll want to tell this tale to every girl and boy
You can’t stop the signal, can’t stop the noise.

Treading water in a sea of despair,
riding the cliches and gasping for air
This boat is sinking and it’s in no way just
you spy a sign and what is written to us?

We heard you.
somebody listened, somebody cared
We heard you
somebody listened, somebody cared
somebody listened out there
