[CHORUS] Give me that old time religion the kind that I really need to be a home with my family the place where we all believe and if you're feeling afraid not sure how much you can take the tears that nobody sees feels like you're ready to break [VS 1] The fall will always come right after the pride and so you sink to the bottom wait for the tears to subside the draw down the blinds when you hide sleep with your guns by your side but don't you forget you're a royal flush held closely on the sly [CHORUS] Give me that old time religion the kind that I really need to be a home with my family the place where we all believe and if you're feeling afraid not sure how much you can take the tears that nobody sees feels like you're ready to break [VS 2] Stiff drink first thing in the morning the sunlight has lost all appeal I find my comfort in darkness and I run from talk that gets real spend all my dollars for nothing forced to beg borrow and steal but you lay your cards on the table and I'll shuffle cut and deal [CHORUS] Give me that old time religion the kind that I really need to be a home with my family the place where we all believe and if you're feeling afraid not sure how much you can take the tears that nobody sees feels like you're ready to break [VS 3] I thought by now I'd be happy pretending everything is great white picket fences and dinner parties a white collar job that you hate red in the face with frustration keeps getting worse every day but when you feel like all hope is lost live to fight another day So give me that old time religion give me that old time religion give me that old time religion

Little bottle on the shelf, lately been calling out your name scissors cutting deep into try to take away the pain it’s a tunnel vision focus always taking on the blame you can't kick it from your mind, It's driving you bat shit insane... But every junkie, must have a supplier and every soul wants, to fly a bit higher in every moment, burning desire and every second, it'd a constant reminder I’ll be there when you need me anytime you can call me in the midnight hour I’ll be there when you need me anytime you can call me in the midnight hour Got your headphones on to tune them out your face up to the sky And the talking always seems to start the moment you walk by Got your aviator shades to hide you blood red punched out eyes Its just easier they always seem to love it when you cry But every tear must, start with a cryer and every rumor, starts with a liar and every judge holds, a gavel beside her As God as my, I’m your testifier I’ll be there when you need me anytime you can call me in the midnight hour I’ll be there when you need me anytime you can call me in the midnight hour When your back is against that wall, I won’t let you fall, cause' you’re mine I’ll be there when you need me anytime you can call me in the midnight hour Doctor said it isn't good, and that you’re running out of time cancer spreading diagnosis says its no longer benign Getting down on upon your knees and you're hope and praying for a sign Asking for a little miracle to happen, not ready yet to die... But every battle, starts with a fighter and every fire, starts with a lighter and every soldier, is gunnin' for hire to come with a quickness rescue when it's dire... I’ll be there when you need me anytime you can call me in the midnight hour I’ll be there when you need me anytime you can call me in the midnight hour When your back is against that wall, I won’t let you fall, cause' you’re mine I’ll be there when you need me anytime you can call me in the midnight hour

Come along step right this way Don't watch my hands just listen what I say The salesman, is not your friend American dream wasn't what you thought already borrowed, traded, sold and bought it's slavery we're living in I blame the leadership the ones in charge these are the criminals remain at large their actions we can't defend All is destroyed before my weeping eyes it's hard to tell the truth when all we hear are lies again and again and again and again There's a fire coming gonna make you answer for your lies from the other side there's no place that you can run and there's no place to hide We the people voiced our discontent RSVP no we will not attend no game here, it's not pretend You chose the oil and your corporate greed instead of helping those in desperate need how is this the great again? Wake to the news what did he say last night cause your offended doesn't mean you're right we're left here, scratching heads Ask for forgiveness now it's you repent for all the people you misrepresent again and again and again and again and again There's a fire coming gonna make you answer for your lies from the other side there's no place that you can run and there's no place to hide Cause what goes around comes back around to haunt you... Around and round and round and round and round and round what goes round comes around.

It's getting hot, the temperature's a rising Tempers flaring everywhere I see Fisticuffs, ready for the flying Locked up jaw and fiery eyes as cold as steel It gives me pause, what's with all the anger? When we've got it so much better than we think You get down to the root, the cold hard truth We know, that nothing comes for free Whoa… yes we know that nothing comes for free Far away, for pennies on the dollar Sewing day and night at the machine Such a shame, in a world with so money but still can’t afford to feed the family But go ahead and live it up forever Someone’s gotta pay eventually And even though you do and always knew and know That nothing comes for free Decked in Gucci, the first class martinis In the high life, the models in bikinis Always gravitated to the finer things But an empty hole is left where all the happiness should be Never known a life apart from privilege entire generation fast asleep Eyes dart down, as through the streets they walking Swiping iPhones, marching orders for the sheep you’re obsessed with houses cars and money But it doesn’t now, and never grew on trees and from that lofty view, afforded you you know that nothing comes for free Lavish Parties, a who's who at the mansion Still discussing the westward expansion Clinking raise your glass to friends and fellow kin Well somebody’s gotta lose, if we only ever win So one day, the shit will hit the fan Kick the can as history repeats And if I were you I’d run now too Cause we know that nothing comes for free Whoa… yes we know that nothing comes for free Whoa... yes we know that nothing comes for free

Daydream 04:22
Lady, cant you see I'm in love with you Lately, the only thing on my mind is you Cause I didn't know, I didn't know anyone could make me lose control and I didn't know, I didn't know anyone could be so sweet and darling you call me name call it loud darling you it's not the same when you're not round how do I make you mine? Maybe, a girl like you could like a guy like me daydream, of dancing close with you cheek to cheek Cause I didn't know, I didn't know anyone could make me lose control and I didn't know, I didn't know anyone could be so sweet and darling you call me name call it loud darling you it's not the same when you're not round how do I make you mine? How do I make you mine? How do I make you mine? How do I make you mine? How do I make you mine? What's this I see, she's coming to me and now I am the happiest man around! The luckiest man around The luckiest man around

Family 04:23
Ever since you were a little one no-one would come to rescue you Asking why was I left behind an afterthought, a nevermind But I don't think you understand just how lovely you are. You could be the fullest moon above and still you'd long to be a shooting star Woke last night from a deepest sleep and I jumped up cold sweat from the dream beside the bed there I placed my feet and wrote it down still half asleep Like nothing that I've ever seen A glowing radiant gold and green An angel came and sweetly sang to me a melody and like a bell it rings... We need family, we need family if you don't think so then I kindly disagree We need family we need family if you don't have one you can be in one with me Will I be found among the flowers or briars brambles thorns and weeds I hope someday they stumble on my grave in peace I'll lay and there you'll see an epitaph upon which simply reads... We need family, we need family if you don't think so then I kindly disagree We need family we need family if you don't have one you can be in one with me if you don't have one you can be in one with me if you don't have one you can be in one with me

Jump The Gun 03:55
A table for one with drinks for two second guessing every move Like a fool I try to hard She says “It’s me, it isn’t you” Easy out for you to choose a silver plate my offered heart I don’t know if you want me to stay I don’t know if you want me to stay I don’t know if you want me to stay I can’t keep on going with this cheap charade I’m singing… Stop! just what you’re doing You been stringing me along ever since when we begun, and I say Stop! just what you’re doing Don’t jump jump jump the gun please don’t jump jump jump the gun and say we’re done Spinning out your tangled web  Rumours he said she said spread seems I’m always last to know / Straight to voicemail inbox full Mixed up signals, wires crossed Girl right next to you I feel so all alone I don’t know if you want me to stay I don’t know if you want me to stay I don’t know if you want me to stay I can’t keep on going with this cheap charade I’m singing… Stop! just what you’re doing You been stringing me along ever since when we begun, and I say Stop! just what you’re doing Don’t jump jump jump the gun please don’t jump jump jump the gun and say we’re done I don’t know if you want me to stay I don’t know if you want me to stay I don’t know if you want me to stay I can’t keep on going with this cheap charade I’m singing… Stop! just what you’re doing You been stringing me along ever since when we begun, and I say Stop! just what you’re doing Don’t jump jump jump the gun please don’t jump jump jump the gun and say we’re done

Going home again Going home again I’ve been gone way too long I’m going home again In my time spent locked away I’d write home most every day Free at last and here to stay I’m going home again Sorrows gone again, Sorrows gone again, Done my crime and served my time my sorrows gone again Dreamed one day when I’d get out You and me would paint this town four white walls in which I drowned my sorrows gone again Getting stoned again Getting stoned again Free to stay and drift away I’m getting stoned again And we’ll all be feelin’ fine sipping whiskey, bourbon and wine to be with my kin and kind I’m going home again My sorrows gone again Getting stoned again I’m going home again!

Mind Reader 04:36
Take a spell, leave your blanket on the beach we don't need to worry about a thing you and me, been together long long time I'm so glad that I am yours and you are mine yes we’re on our way we don’t need no words to say we can read each other’s minds I can read yours and you can read mine In our minds summer’s always within reach so we don't have to worry about a thing you and me been together long long time I’m so glad that I am yours and you are mine Yes we're on our way We don't need to words to say We can read each other's minds And I can read yours And you can read mine

Can’t get over you Can’t get over you Can’t get over you So I guess I’ll just have to go around Never thought in the whole wide world that I would ever find a girl That would be so perfectly matched in heaven and forged in destiny And aint It a mystery how we grew and came to be I tell you honestly I love you madly and would you say I do Don’t you worry, everything’s gonna be alright Don’t go crazy it’s alway darkest before the light That’s why I’m still right next to you Moving silently on the banks of the rolling sea Waves lapping quietly and it lulls us until we fall asleep So I hold you in my arms gonna keep you safe and warm never let harm come to you be your shelter when life will bring the storm Don’t you worry, everything’s gonna be alright Don’t go crazy it’s alway darkest before the light That’s why I’m still right next to you You look so cute when you sleep, Baby I’d stare at you for a week or maybe more Don't say and word you don't speak, Baby Finish my sentence for me, honey I get so weak in the knees, baby every time I hear you speak oh you, expanded my whole wide world When destiny walked up to me When destiny walked up to me When destiny walked up to me

Punch the wheel another hour jammed in traffic window stuck got some ketchup on your tie old acquaintance stops to ask you how your doing you say you’re great but don’t know why you lie Everybody always leaving for the weekend you’re the only one been working way too hard when you reach your destination every Friday You drink the bread you earned up at the bar And all I ever wanted from you Was dancing in the rain And all I ever wanted from you Was dancing in the rain Maybe there’s a better life out in the deep end maybe you could be a painter on the side double agent on a super secret mission or a rock star singer famous far and wide And all I ever wanted from you Was dancing in the rain And all I ever wanted from you Was dancing in the rain Find it is your song find it in your heart to sing along, sing along we’re all friends here nothing for you to fear so sing along, sing along just let it roar just let it roar Now you understand the moral of the story live, love and conquer all that which divides Mother Nature doesn't wait around for no-one So live it up while you still have the time And all I ever wanted from you Was dancing in the rain And all I ever wanted from you Was dancing in the rain
