Freedom 04:26
Freedom To the young and the old, the scared and the bold There’s a feeling alike A sensation of excitement, the feeling of enlightenment We can all get behind But it’s hard to take a step When you’re told there’s no ground below So take a hold of your life And forget what you have been shown Freedom doesnt mean you’re alone Here’s to drunken friends and punk rock bands This changed my life, one song at a time We’d be screaming every line Dreams in our hearts our ears were fucked from the p.a This music sets me free, punk rock’s not dead to me Now that I found freedom I won’t be satisfied with your fucking mundane working 9 to 5 Now that I found freedom Call it what you like but I won’t back down now Now that I found freedom I can live my life Now that I found freedom I can turn the tide With just two wheels the open road becomes alive All these tight bends ignite a feeling deep inside Clear hills of water wash away concepts of time The open line of sight, just watching life go by

Why did you have to cause a fight Why could we just not get along No one saw you drink so much No one saw you start to struggle You didn’t have to cause a scene You didn’t have to scream and shout You didn’t bring this on yourself You know it doesn’t matter squat You know he watched you from afar You know he was awaiting You know he saw us make a scene he started contemplating You know he likes to hear you scream He is a creature of the night And now I know I should of gone But nothing seems to matter And I think of the day you died And I lie, just a hundred metres home And I think of the day you died And I cry, am I still waiting here Did he just watch the way she talked Did he know she’d leave alone Had he seen us there before Did he know we were in trouble Did he know our every move Did he plan this all along Did he know the things he did He was always just a monster Your crying out keeps me awake How can I stop you dying Him dragging you just out of sight Just where they found you lying If I’d just listened stayed at home I know I could protect you there And now I know I should of gone But nothing seems to matter And I think of the day you died And I lie, just a hundred metres home And I think of the day you died And I cry, am I still waiting here And I think of the day you died And I lie, just a hundred metres home And I think of the day you died And I cry, am I still waiting here Why could I not have left you alone Was I still waiting Why could I not have walked you home You didn’t bring this on yourself Why could I not have left you alone Was I still waiting Why could I not have walked you home You didn’t bring this on yourself

Abandon Ship, This Fucker's Sinking S.O.S!! Please save our souls, a world that's in distress We’re doomed, we're fucked!! All systems failing Heading for darkness Violence, greed famine and hunger, escape this course we've set Can we make the changes needed, end all of our pain and our death Abandon ship, this fucker's sinking We're going under way too fast Abandon the ship, these decks are clearing Save the women and children first The cops are killing the sober and unarmed homeless in our streets Did you protect and serve Kelly Thomas While you were fuckin' up his teeth? Passenger planes are falling from our skies like acid rain Shot down by gutless armies for governments escaping blame And in the land down under known for empty sweeping plains We turn our back on refugees We're not full, we're all the same Don't u know there's a better way? It’s 2017 Still losing our young in holy wars For gods who stay unseen

I sit here with this pen in hand Writing how we miss you everyday As tears fall from my eyes they fall And start another empty page It’s just too hard, the thoughts laughs and memories I have of you I hope I always make you proud In my life with everything I do I know your watching over me Although I want you here The world won’t be the same without you But they need you up there And this is not goodbye Forever in our hearts it’s time to close your eyes And enjoy the air up there Enjoy the air up there A life well lived but taken early Not quite ready to let you float away A simple smile, a nod, a whisper you bled wisdom every day It seemed like time was not an issue Until time took you away Goodbye my friend, my family he reason I’m this man today

Second Rate 02:36
We started out fresh yesterday We had planned to win We were looking so fucking great We were super fit No one saw it coming this time It was far too late We lost again my friend We just lost our day Don’t wanna be second rate I can’t believe we lost Don’t wanna be second rate We may have lost this battle But we will win the war We know your weakness this time Shred you to the core This is how it all will end With you in defeat This is the end

I.K.Y 02:43
As It gets later I can see That you’re never gonna leave until I say... Well I know that you won’t be told But the night is getting cold And everything you’ve said you’ve done Well it’s starting to get old And I’ve known you for some time And I know what’s your is mine But I want you to rack right off But you just won’t see the signs I know you love me but you just can’t stay I tell you enough just to go away a yeeah I try to tell you but you just can’t see Get off my fuckin’ property And I see you start to cry And my brain it starts to fry If I can find the point to this Then I’ll stab you in the eye And then the thing that I most fear I see you crack another beer Well I don’t care where you drink thatfsucker As long as it’s not here

Fast food drive-throughs just on foot Never leads to anything overly good Always leads to one of your mates Throwing half a litre of coke in your face And it may seem like a bad thing Being drunk with your band is sweet No need to hold back right now Naked Spiderman in the Beachcomber And we are barely men Suckin back Jameson Life is an age away Pissed and eating take-away Fuck control tonight When you’re drinking into the light So take a glass with friends Bottle tops and Jameson Drink so much you don’t even see the band Entertaining randoms with crappy handstands Don’t know what it means to call it quits Until the bouncer lets you know he has the shits Then your backseat fighting bandmates OP vs. JD concentrate And you leave with a broken front screen While the driver is left screaming An ice cold beer is such a fuckin’ winner There’s even been nights that’s all i’ve had for dinner Now all i wanna do is drink myself to sleep Under the stars

You wander into the pub like you’re so dam heroic You think you just saved a life Your attitude towards others is fucking pathetic Yet im the lonely one tonight Cos you are the men who play sports So you must be amazing And you run around in short shorts So we should bow down to you all I’m not the one who wears make up and dresses real nice Yet I must be the GAY CUNT!! I’m not the one who walks round in groups starting the fights Yet I must be the weak one Chorus Cos you are the men who play sports So you must be amazing And you run around in short shorts So we should bow down to you all

KFC 02:25
Well I spat in every single burger that I ever made I wore a chicken on my head, like a tiara I’m getting sick and tired of all these painful burns and scalds There must be a better way to earn 4 bucks an hour because I go to work and I don’t think it’s funny that I go to work and then someone else takes all my money I go to work and I cannot pay my own way I work my ass of then someone else takes home all my pay Well I have begun to hate the man who wears a blue shirt I hate his face I hate his badge I hate his stupid fucking roster I’m getting sick and tired of all these painful burns and scalds There must be a better way to earn 4 bucks an hour because I go to work and I don’t think it’s funny that I go to work and then someone else takes all my money I go to work and I cannot pay my own way I work my ass of then someone else takes home all my pay Well I am not going in to work tomorrow Well I am not going in to work today Well I am not going in to work tomorrow Well I am not going in to work today Cos someone else takes home all my pay

You’re a fucking trickster, who takes souls for laughter And never stays to the end Author of confusing lies true feelings that are deep out of sight Falling star bright in the sky the only star not seen at night I look into your yellow eyes And see the fucking demons inside Im sick of useless conversations, you want the final word To think you can change someone take away from who they are Lightning from heaven you fall from grace illusion of freedom based on faith Light bearer who brought more darkness Amidst the stars Convincing the world he didn't exist That was the Devil's trick A devil, no angel, you can't trick me Right in front of our eyes, we failed to see Once the most beautiful angel, so high up and proud Once considered his favourite now banished to dwell underground I've never seen you give just take why do you have to be so fake? You Walk among us everyday Stealing our smiles away

Have you ever seen a man who can ski up hill? Have you ever seen a man who shits dollar bills? Have you ever seen a man that ice can’t chill? Have you ever seen a man that drugs can’t kill? He can stare at the sun and not lose sight The only human who can travel through space and time Walking through walls is a bit far fetched But he’s never known a door to not exist I know you think we’re spinning shit Untill you're on a Mint Tours trip He plays the part of a tour guide, fully incognito A thousand words with just one look His words are meant for angels ears He’s the Finnish Chuck Norris Have you ever met a man who sweats Viagra? Have you ever met a man who swam the Niagra? Have you ever met a man who can hear sign language? Have you ever met a man who invented the ham sandwich? He can wrestle a bear and not lose skin The only man that girls swallow and never spit He parked his jet onside a fucking hill But all the locals are too scared to say jack shit He can fly, Never die Minimum 9 women at one time Deaths near miss, VES-perience He’s the motherfuckin finnish Chuck Norris

Second star to the right, then just carry on past midnight We've mapped our course for neverland We ain't ever coming back We've done away with sleep Cracked our drinks and smashed marbles We've built our homes among the trees drawn our swords for battle We can fly and we can fight Till the sun comes up tomorrow Show the world the light we're made of So tired yet so alive I promised myself that I’d Never grow up To live is the greatest adventure Bangarang!!! With Rufio and I forgot to head back home I'm stuck between awake and sleep Lost 4 eva in a dream Think of all the joy you'll find when you leave the world behind Just faith and trust and pixie dust we're all Just lost, just lost in time Growing up is giving up

about

well what a journey this turned out to be!!!! we started as chris, matt, dan, paris and myself and are now chris, myself, darcy, paul and josh!! there was no bad exits or anything. paris just kinda vanished and matt and dan couldn't commit the time anymore once we got into it.

i remember ringing chris one day and saying "man, i've got music for about six songs, let'd do another ep". without even missing a beat he said "na fuck that let's also do some old songs were weren't happy with and make an album". and here we are all this time later. i contacted darcy and we recorded the guitar demos for the seven new songs. they were handed on to matt, dan, paris and chris. after a while paris was gone so darcy stepped up to the plate. he'd been a mate of ours for a long time and used to play in bands with us waaay back. so it was a natural fit. it was unknown at that time but eventually after a few dramas he would end up taking over the whole album, it sat stagnant for 8 months at one stage which was pretty hard. but once he took over everything got more relaxed. at about this stage mat and dan were struggling and two of our other mates josh and paul started turning up to all our sessions and boozing up with us. it wasn't long before they were having theyre input into songs and stuff. they'd also been in bands we played with from way back. so again it was just natural.

and that brings us to here!!! darcy has done an amazing job at mixing this. doing an album was more work then i ever imagined. i thought after two ep's it'd be a piece of cake. but there were times i never thought this would see the light of day. i hope use enjoy every minute of it. thanks to chris for standing by my side from the get go, thanks to darcy for making this happen and becoming a brother, josh a paul for refreshing things in this new chapter, and thanks to matt, dan, paris and cameron. your parts in this journey are not forgotten ~micka~
