Pugilist 03:27
Punches thrown For disrespect Blood was drawn Your on the deck Punches thrown For what you said Blood was drawn And now you’re dead Battered nose Bruised ego Shattered jaw Wounded you You started out At center ring No going back To corners now And when it’s over Will you let it go? (4x) A fighter’s stance Is what you take You hear the words You think they’re hate Fists are drawn Ready to go Punch your weight And always throw You always think Right or wrong You tell yourself It makes you strong You started out At center ring No going back To corners now And when it’s over Will you let it go? (4x)

Gasoline 02:14
The world is powered by gasoline It’s the best situation we’ve ever seen The world is running thanks to gasoline It’s the worst situation we’ve ever seen In and out and up what we go What we get is what we know We keep running and the oil flows When it stops no one knows Entropy settles in Heat builds And melt begins Recognize but move to slow Settle down And overflow Entropy settles in Heat exchange Doesnt end Build it now It needs to end Entropy entropy! The world is covered in leafy greens It’s the best situation we’ve ever seen They want us to believe that coal is clean It’s the worst situation I’ve ever seen Up and down and out we go What we get is what we know The world is burning thanks to gasoline We’re all fucked it’s obscene!

I solemnly swear To tell the truth I wasn’t aware That I am so Smooth Solemnly swear! (3x) (I lied for you) We took her upstairs And she was so True (I tried for you) She Gave me that stare (I cried for you) She was so Rude! (I lied) Swallow me whole! (3x) For the sake of the plot (Yeah!) I get down on my knees (Get up!) I gotta know up front (Get down!) What the back end needs I’m gonna face the judges (Hey!) With my game face on (Let’s go!) I’m gonna win this fight (Right on) Even if It goes on and on and on and on and on and on I go on and on and on and on and on and on I Wasn’t even there But tongues will wag And lips are loose I Humbly declare That I am so Cool.

Every word Every step Every look You keep track of me! Every hope Every fear Every dream And the cameras watching everything Black does follow everyone Five six seven eight of them Follow me when I am not guilty! Every word Every step Every look You keep track of me! Every hope Every fear Every dream Keep your eyes To yourself Share your thoughts With no one else The secret agents with their private eyes Are on the corner so you can sleep at night Keep your eyes To yourself Share your thoughts With no one else The secret agents with their private eyes Are on the corner so you can sleep at night You are not What we need You are not to be believed You are not What we wear You are not What we care We are not to be deceived We are not to be believed We are not what we wear We are not Without a care You are not What we read You are not To be believed We are not What we wear We are not Without a care You are not What we read You are not To be believed
