I am the devil you should see what’s in my head I’ll make Burt Reynolds cry, I had Ghandi seein’ red And when you think it’s time to sell your soul to me I’ll turn your body inside out you’ll walk among the living dead Chorus: I’m goin’ to hell, why don’t you meet me? Pack light cause it’ll be hot this evening You’re better off dead, you better believe it I didn’t start this fire and I’m not gonna put it out It’s time to invite you in to the party of the damned You’ll meet the black-eyed woman, the eternal one night stand We own your immortality with only one way to get it back You have to kill and kill again, you are a heart attack I’ll get you one way or another Cause I’ve got all the time in the world I can tempt you with anything I please And promise you any fucking thing that you think you need If there’s one thing that I’ve learned In this eternity in my fiery hole Is the sure-fire way to steal a soul is with Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Hell Yeah!

Peacetime in Tokyo now there’s a place he has to go Well he’s big, and he’s mean… He is Headed for our mainland. Crafted a master plan of revenge, to avenge… He’s got 1945 on his mind. Spittin’ fire all the time Burn em down to the ground… He wants Devastation from town to town. Panic screams the only… Sound the alarm! Raise your arms! Chorus: (Godzilla) Godzilla! (Godzilla) Godzilla! (Godzilla) Godzilla Versus America! It doesn’t happen every day. He just fucked with the U.S.A. Sleeping Giant’s been awakened, but this land’s never forsaken We fight! All our might! We are… United for the cause. Come together for the job. We’re one. Raise your guns! We have… Old Glory flying high. Stars and Stripes til’ we die! Freedom! Freedom! Father’s, sons and brothers! Friends, families and neighbors Sound the alarms! Raise your arms!

I have laid awake, I’ve thought and thought Nightmares and dreams of killing you I plan and plot, I’m not alone, Behind my back, they want blood too! WE WANT BLOOD! Can’t sleep at night, can’t turn it off! We want revenge, yeah we want blood! When you turn around, we stare you down We want your body six feet down And so it goes, the final page We close the book… our book of rage! WE WANT BLOOD! Can’t sleep at night, can’t turn it off! We want revenge, yeah we want blood! Chorus: WE WANT Bodies across the floor Your heads on our walls Can’t sleep ’cause we want blood! I still lay awake, I think and think Nightmares and dreams of killing you I plan and plot, I’m not alone. Behind my back, they want blood too! WE WANT BLOOD! Can’t sleep at night, can’t turn it off! We want revenge, yeah we want blood!

Let It Burn 02:31
Get in the van, man and put it in high gear, cause this is where it all begins Fly down the highway, we’re doin’ it our way. Live to win and live to sin. Ridin’ the guard-rail, we’ll get there we can’t fail. I just hope the beer is cold Spray the beer your way, spray the beer our way. Get paid and laid and then we roll! Chorus: Nothin’ to see let it burn. Out of our view when we turn. Burn to the ground let it burn. Burn baby burn baby burn! Burn Burn Burn! Sometimes there are shit towns you wanna just burn down. Light the match and drive away. We started the fire, we’re gonna get higher! Let it burn! Let it burn!

This Is War 02:37
Just one! One more night! Then I’m done… But I know I’ve just begun! Shoulda seen the red flags flying’ since the very first day we met… When you told me the sound of broken glass always gets you wet… Now I know that good things go faster than they ever come… Its so hard to think now that I know I’m the only one! Chorus: Break down the door! Everybody hit the floor! And as your life flashes before your eyes you know that this is war! Break down the door! Everybody hit the floor! And as your life flashes before your eyes you know that this is war! So now I’m stuck in this world livin’ day by day… Every time I try to get out there’s always something in my way. This fire burns in me like a million scorching suns Every time I think I’m done well I know I just begun! Bridge: Break ‘em down. Smash ‘em down. It’s time to settle the score. Knock ‘em down & drag ‘em out with bloodstains on the floor Break ‘em down. Smash ‘em down. Never give up the fight. Save the world, get the girl and rock her all night! Shoulda seen the red flags flying’ since the very first day we met… When you told me the sound of broken glass always gets you wet… Now I know that good things go faster than they ever come… But it’s so hard to think now that I know I’m the only one!

Wakin’ up and feeling pissed again. Frustrated and agitated. Thinkin’ back to all the times when all you did was skated and skated But you think you’re grown’ old, bad back, tough job, and weary knees. Man up, put on your Vans. Smack your girl on the ass and hit the streets! Chorus: Old School Warrior! Get out there and fight! Ride with all your might! Ride with all your might! Old School Warrior! Get out there and fight! Ride with all your might! Ride with all your might! So now you’re flying free, catching a groove and flying downhill 360 pop shove-it, bend that board to your will Be a man and grind that shit down. Sparks flying’ everywhere. Pushing hard up to that jump ramp, method air and never come down! My knees are killin’ me! Old school warrior! Ride free ride fast… while you can. You got your board, your girl, and your friends! Old school warrior! Ride free ride fast… while you can. You got your board, your girl, and this band!

Wake up in the morning just an hour too late, never have any time to waste Could be a different town, or a different state Something keeps pushing me to move on. Can’t go back til the job is done At times it feels like I’m chasing down the sun Chorus: Gotta make a move before I make mistakes Gotta hit the road before I hit the brakes Caffeine, nicotine and beer. Caffeine, nicotine and beer. Caffeine, nicotine and beer is all I need! Feels like someone’s right on my tail. Any second now I know I could fail My coffin’s missing that final nail Find a safe place to lay my head, and I thought about the very last thing you said No matter what I do I’ll end up dead

Somethin’ wicked this way comes You better lock your doors, you better run If you get caught in our sights It’s lights out for you tonight! Everywhere you look your exits are blocked You’ve got nowhere to hide you know you’re caught We’re gonna over run this place so embrace your fate and open a case Chorus: Here we come. Say your prayers! Here we come. We smell your fear! Here we come. Break out the beers! Now that you’re one of us You see the world in a different light There’s no cure and no containment It’s a rock n’ roll outbreak tonight! HERE WE COME!

Break out those razor blades We’re gonna have some fun Don’t preach to me I don’t give a fuck Hey, it smells like twenty bucks I’ve walked that line before Picked my ass up off the floor Maybe I can get you some Hey, it smells so good, it smells like fun Shit don’t make me feel so bad well it’s the best damn stuff I ever had Just don’t tell me that you love me Or that you’re always thinking’ of me Cause I know you just want the drugs You just want the drugs Chorus: Who’s got the cocaine? I’ve got the cocaine! Who’s got the cocaine? I’ve got the cocaine!

Can’t help the fact my family’s a mess Or that uncle Joey’s parole wasn’t met And to top it all off I cant go to the lake Because the car is a wreck You call me a slacker and you say my band’s too loud This all might sound strange But history’s about to change Chorus: Back to the future In case you had a doubt Back to the future That’s what this song’s about So I’m hitchin’ rides on the bumpers of cars On my way to the Twin Pines mall You called me a slacker And you said my band’s too loud This night’s about to change my fate When I get this baby to 88. Back to the future In case you had a doubt Back to the future That’s what this song’s about Mayor Goldie Wilson I like the sound of that Mayor Goldie Wilson I like the sound of that Spent a week in 1955 Told my mom my name was Calvin Klein Told dad Darth Vader will melt his brain If he don’t ask out Lorraine. Existence in danger Almost disappeared during Earth Angel Still made it to the clock tower Four minutes past the hour Back to the future Lets see what 2015 holds Back to the future Where we’re going we don’t need roads Back to the future In case you had a doubt Back to the future That’s what this song’s about
