Be Gone
Music/Lyrics: Tony Pulizzi
Give us more time
Our time is gone
Give us the spirit to carry on
Let's keep on keepin' on
You put our backs to the wall when we signed your deal
Give us the will that we might fulfill or be gone
I would love to build an exile ship so I could damn a man like you
But I'd be mopping it right beside ya cause I'm this exile too
Be Gone
Give us our dreams that we might have shared
It's possible return our check via mail…Be Gone
It's a case of fraud that we can't allow
So we hound you and trap you to take our bow…We've won
You cried to your mom and you sucked your thumb
the night I sent you off to sea
Vice Versa I can empathize you're just like me
Sail On
I would love to build an exile ship so I could damn a man like you
But I'd be mopping it right beside ya cause I'm this exile too
Be Gone
Get outta here till you mean what you say
Oh it's tragic but you're gonna pay
Now don't need ya cause now we know
We are the players who create the show
Sail On

Must I Wait (How Many Nights)
Music: Tony
Lyrics: Tony & Glenn Armstrong
I need some hope in my life
Just a little
Please speak closely by daylight
When I'm home
I need a break from this town
So I dream
Please speak closely by daylight
Just a little
How Many Nights in this place
Must I wait
I need some change in this life
Just a little
Walk to the beat from down south
I'm back home
I need a break from this job
So I dream
Walk to the beat from down south
Just a little
How Many Nights in this place
Must I wait
How Many Nights in this place
Let me out of here!
Chains binding me
Struggle to break free
Waiting for the chance
Fighting for my life

Swing Low
Music/Lyrics: Tony
I know where you run to
It's nowhere to go
That's the way I feel inside
Here you are
Dancing dream of runways at night
I've known you for years
And your years mom took away
Married now, you get with me
That's no way to be
Swing low, save your baby's soul!
The lamb has gotten lost can't find its way
This is more than you know
It's the end of your show
You don't have to do this
I want you to know
But my words for you can't speak
It's your life for what's ahead
Don't blame this on me
You're taking me in
That's not from within
Here you are
Queen of night
I'll hang on with all my might
Swing high, let this baby die!
The lamb has gotten lost can't find its way
This is more than you know
It's the end of your show
The lamb has gotten lost can't find its way
This is more than you know
It's the end of your show

One Country
Music: Tony
Lyrics: Tony & Glenn Armstrong
There's a homeless child
Standing in a food line
There's a sinful pain
Straining the soul
Of an honest mind
There's a wired fence
Clutched between a fist
From a broken heart
Of a jobless man
He wonders why
As He tries to understand
Na na na
A love we must learn one day me and you
A secret we learn we find we're brothers too I don't know your blues
without walking in your shoes
But I got this way of thinking
If one country we shall be
There's a politician
Who lied to reach a goal
Misguided people
And the youth is out of control
There's a war that's staging
A show of arrogance
It can only end with atrocity and brutality
There's a corporation
Rips and scams its way
Hidden and unnoticed
It needs to have its day
There's a businessman
Who takes advantage
Creates the homeless child, the jobless man
He's living happily somewhere
Na na na
A Love we must learn one day me and you
A secret we learn we find we're brothers too
Now I don't know your blues
without walking in your shoes
But I got this way of thinking
I got this way of thinking
If one country we shall be
Na na na

Midwestern Town
Music: Tony
Lyrics: Tony & Glenn Armstrong
Forced to the factory to gather his pay
Trapped on the line
Pain in his spine
Was this planned by design
Work to be done
Week after week, year after year
After all he feels like a slave
Right now he needs a new day
This cycle of life will widow his wife
Should this be your life
Could this be your life
He walked away from a midwestern town
Days of his youth gone away
If he failed to find a new day
Trapped in this life he will stay
Home to his birthplace he fights to be loyal
Father's example he'll follow with fear
Locked in this prism he toils for freedom
Time's running out
Month after month, year after year
After all he ages each year
He follows his father with fear
This cycle of life will widow his wife
Should this be your life
Could this be your life
He walked away from a midwestern town
Days of his youth gone away
If he failed to find a new day
Trapped in this life he will stay

Spared
Music/Lyrics: Tony
So many years shut down
But he's alive
Who could succumb to life?
And still survive
Ooh he is waking now
Too many dreams have died
But he's alive
Pile from pile he goes
Wreckage and ashes of hope that is stored
Time can be your friend by granting him some time again
You all know by now that he's betting it all
Facing the fire to counter his fall
Given the chance to redeem himself back
Is this the way
He's sorry, he's trying
To communicate and share with you
He's fighting, he's striving
To understand this world on cue
You all know by now that he's betting it all
Facing the fire to counter his fall
Given the chance to redeem himself back
Is this the way
Come all ye faithful now
Speak the lie
I will destroy your view
Your sheepish mind
Ooh I am waking now
Decide how to serve me best
Speak the lie
Kneeling from these ashes still
And cover me over like war paint disguise
Time can be your friend by granting him some time again
You all know by now that I'm betting it all
Facing the fire to counter my fall
Given the chance to redeem myself back
Is this the way
Loving...Leading...Choosing...Believing
I'm sorry, I'm trying
To communicate and share with you
I'm fighting, I'm striving
To understand this world on cue
You all know by now that I'm betting it all
Facing the fire to counter my fall
Given the chance to redeem myself back
Is this the way

Mama
Music/Words by: Tony
I drew a sketch when I was young
This I offered her
That's how she sees me
Now I see a modern landscape
It's so pretty
She can't see me
Therapy
Just when you think you have had enough
She throws down
Her own self-inflicting ways
Just when you started to understand
You can't get closer
Oh no closer
Will she?
Mama can you see my world
My own planet
Not late to find your dreams
Sharing two planes
Mama view another hand
Reach out grasp it
Don't be afraid
Take that chance
Meanwhile, I'll be myself
I'm what you created after all
Just when you think she is catchin' up
She slows down
Her own self-inflicting ways
Just when you started to see her plan
You can't get closer
Oh no closer
Will she?
Mama can you see my world
My own planet
Not late to find your dreams
Sharing two planes
Mama view another hand
Reach out grasp it
Don't be afraid
Take that chance
Meanwhile, I'll be myself
I'm what you created after all
