Laura Said 03:04
Laura said, never do it for the money And don’t forget, no no, California’s always sunny. I’m walking down the boulevard, finding another job. The place I’m living in right now, I can no longer afford. My body is turning to nothing but flesh and bone. I need to find a better way to keep doing what I love. Laura said, never do it for the money. And don’t forget, no no no. California’s always sunny. Now I realize the cloths I bought, over two years ago at Ross, Won’t give a good enough impression to my new possible boss. Then I come back home without much luck but then I see my ol’ Less Paul And my hunger disappears as soon as I strum that first power chord. Laura said, never do it for the money. And don’t forget, no no no. California’s always sunny. Aight! Well I might not have my own place, and I might look like lacking grace. I might not have what I need, but it sure is what I want, My brothers, the shoulders that I can always count on, Yeah! I’m looking around my fucked up life, well this is where I belong. Laura said, never do it for the money. And don’t forget, no no no. California’s always sunny.

Tall Tales 03:42
She saw the white light chandeliers, In those movies and magazines. She dreamed of velvet limousines, Framing her in soft light scenes. She had made a promise to herself, She’d live the life of ease and wealth. So bought a little Monroe dress, And took the first plane headed west. She better know, her time runs low. And only a few can outgrow. She’ll go Van Gogh, if she don’t glow. And only a few can outgrow. She saw Victorian houses on the hills, As she was scrounging for her next meal. She knew she had the skill to be, Whatever people are wanting to see. She had made a promise to herself, She’d live the life of ease and wealth. So kept her eyes fixed on the prize, And kept her aim towards the sky She better know, her time runs low. And only a few can outgrow. She’ll go Van Gogh, if she don’t glow. And only a few can outgrow. She saw the seasons change the weather, As her skin turned into leather. The years went by, And her wrinkles multiplied. Now what is left to say, Of how we looked at her? She better know, her time runs low. And only a few can outgrow. She’ll go Van Gogh, if she don’t glow. And only a few can outgrow.

Barricades 03:51
You are the young and those who’re desperate for a change. You can’t stand the shame of bein’ controlled by a puppet string. You are the future, you are today. We are the young and feel the same. Are you gonna live your life behind the safety of a TV screen? Or behind the burning barricades? Are you letting suits with ties do whatever they want with your life? Or are you joining for the fight to keep your rights? You get this feeling that takes your banner to the streets. It gives you the nerve to swing the brick at the men behind shields. Light up a tire with a petrol bomb. And feel the heat of the street in flames. Are you gonna live your life behind the safety of a TV screen? Or behind the burning barricades? Are you letting suits with ties do whatever they want with your life? Or are you joining for the fight to keep your rights? We are the future, we are the young, We are the fewer, but we are the strong. We are the future and we’ll shape the world and make it our own. Because we might not be the ones that have the power, but not for too long, Cause we’re the strong! Are you gonna live your life behind the safety of a TV screen? Or behind the burning barricades? Are you letting suits with ties do whatever they want with your life? Or are you joining for the fight to keep your rights?

Come Undone 03:35
We knew that it was over before it all begun But why not try to have some fun and make the best out of this run. It was just a matter of time before I had to write this song. Cause feeling are growing strong as she starts to come undone. Still I blame myself as I left her on the shelf. And I swear I tried my best, there was nothing left to say. I am shattered into pieces, she was saying as I left. So I stayed for a little longer to help her try and glue herself. We couldn’t find the pieces, so there wasn’t much to mend. Oh, I swear I tried my best, there was nothing left to say Still I balme myself as I left her on the shelf. And I swear I tried my best, there was nothing left to say. And I left her place with disappointment on my face And I swear I tried my best, there was nothing left to say. She never had a choice, was bound to come undone. Still I balme myself as I left her on the shelf. And I swear I tried my best, there was nothing left to say. And I left her place with disappointment on my face And I swear I tried my best, there was nothing left to say.

Lost At Sea 02:51
Let me take a break after helping you with your deal. We are not too late and you can still be saved. I know you won’t crash and burn. And you won’t sink if we right your ship. When we are lost at sea, We follow the stars and use the wind. But for right now, you are lost and you’re a cast away. But for right now your a cast away. Let me take a guess, and tell you how you feel. You can’t focus on your heart and sense that it is far from you. The clock in your chest is a cast away. So hang on for dear life. When we are lost at sea, We follow the stars and use the wind. But for right now, you are lost and you’re a cast away. But for right now your a cast away. Happiness, cannot be found anywhere but inside of you. You! When we are lost at sea, We follow the stars and use the wind. But for right now, you are lost and you’re a cast away. But for right now your a cast away.
