STATE OF EMERGENCY Words & Music by Treble Attack verse I've been arrested And wrongly detained! You can imagine my surprise when the authorities came Knocking on my door in the pouring rain – yeah! chorus This is a state of emergency National security is watching me This is a state of emergency And I'm a stranger in my own country verse They're trying to convict me – Lord! The pressure is on! I've been mistaken by the crown for a mercenary And my allegiance to the state is in question! chorus This is a state of emergency National security is watching me This is a state of emergency And I'm a stranger in my own country Bridge They say I'm guilty of conspiracy, yeah, And I'm in over my head! They wanna pin the blame on me For all the blood they shed And they won't let me go...! chorus This is a state of emergency National security is watching me This is a state of emergency And I'm a stranger in my own country
2.	Counter Culture 04:28	lyrics	buy track
COUNTER CULTURE Lyrics & Music by Treble Attack Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! I woke up this morning Long before the sun came up And the stars they were shining bright And in my head I began to write Every seed grows in its own time Que sera, o que sera What is hidden comes to light And everything must come together Whether it's wrong or right, wrong or right... Can't you feel something...something very strange? Can't you feel the planets shifting And everything's about to change? Can't you feel something...something very strange? Can't you feel the planet's shifting And everything's about to change I'm talking 'bout a counter culture You better sell your possessions Cast away your useless trinkets Don't you let them play you for a fool Wise up, wise up and take your stance It's time that we learned the truth Even if it's wrong or right, wrong or right Can't you feel something...something very strange? Can't you feel the planets shifting And everything's about to change? Can't you feel something...something very strange? Can't you feel the planet's shifting And everything's about to change I'm talking 'bout a counter culture
3.	Can't Stand Lovin You 02:35	lyrics	buy track
CAN’T STAND LOVIN’ YOU Words & Music by Anthony King Saw you from my window Struttin’ down my street Swingin’ your purse, ruby shoes on your feet Was it that long ago that you were my girl? Walkin’ hand in hand, it was us against the world – I drew the curtains And lit my cigarette These ashes of my broken heart are all that I have left – Fussin’ and fightin’ when we lived together Girl you’re bad for my health and my character! CHORUS: I can’t, I can’t, I can’t stand lovin’ you! I can’t, I can’t – it’s breakin’ my heart in two! I can’t, I can’t, I can’t stand lovin’ you! I can’t, I can’t – I just don’t know what the hell to do… Seems like only yesterday We were sharing the same bed I was your shelter from the storm, you were the roof over my head! And every now and then, someone calls your name And suddenly your memory pours over me like rain Was I too selfish? Did I push you out the door? Was it my ego that made you insecure? And I know I hurt you girl as much as you hurt me There’s a pain in my heart where you used to be! CHORUS: I can’t, I can’t, I can’t stand lovin’ you! I can’t, I can’t – it’s breakin’ my heart in two! I can’t, I can’t, I can’t stand lovin’ you! I can’t, I can’t – I just don’t know what the hell to do… (Repeat chorus and fade)
4.	Hurt So Bad 04:50	lyrics	buy track
HURT SO BAD Lyrics & Music by Treble Attack It's a cloudy day as gray as stone I'm sitting in the darkness all alone Watching the rain fall down, Yes I'm watching the rain fall down I'm lying on a bed of thorns Turning and tossing since I been scorned Wondering what my life has come to Thinking of the pain you put me through It's messing with my head, messing with my head Lord! I don't know what I've said or done To deserve this But after all is said and done Was it worth it? Cause if the end if it justifies the means And if all is fair in love and war and nothing's what it seems Why does it hurt so bad? I wanna know why does it hurt so bad, so very badly... They say a rose is still a rose by any other name If you were a queen or a prostitute I'd love you just the same Farewell sweet yesterday Maybe we're both better off this way... I can't remember day from night Don't remember who was wrong or right But I'm tossing in my sleep without you Dreaming of the things we used to do It's my messing with my head, messing with my head Lord! I don't know what I've said or done To deserve this But after all is said and done Was it worth it? Cause if the end if it justifies the means And if all is fair in love and war and nothing's what it seems Why does it hurt so bad? I wanna know why does it hurt so bad, so very badly... They say a rose is still a rose by any other name If you were a queen or a prostitute I'd love you just the same Farewell sweet yesterday Maybe we're both better off this way... Repeat chorus and fade...
5.	In the Name of War 04:18	lyrics	buy track
IN THE NAME OF WAR Can you hear the rifles in the night? Can you see up ahead the oil fields burning bright? And from the skies up above a black rain soaks the earth And this is just the beginning! It’s gonna get a whole lot worse Before it gets better If we don’t kill each other first… In the name of war In the name of war Take this bullet! It’s the last one I have left Sound the trumpet - the battle isn’t over yet If they catch us alive we’re gonna suffer before we die And this is just the beginning! It’s gonna get a whole lot worse Before it gets better If we don’t kill each other first… In the name of war In the name of war We’ve crossed the thin red line And there’s no going back We’ve got the heavy ammunition and we’re starting the surprise attack But as I walk through the valley of the shadow of death My heart’s like a hammer beating in my chest – it’s the beginning! Here come the choppers on a mission from God And this time around they’re gonna finish the job And there’ll be no forgiveness, and no mercy for the joker or the thief And this is just the beginning! It’s gonna get a whole lot worse Before it gets better If we don’t kill each other first… In the name of war In the name of war In the name of war In the name of war

about

A refreshing fusion of reggae, ska and rock, the five songs on the EP reflect Treble Attack's early 80's influences - The Clash, The Wailers, The Police - but remain relevant with lyrics that are mature, playful, and meditative all at once.

about

Treble Attack Toronto, Ontario

UH OH...HERE COMES TREBLE! Not the bad kind of treble, the good kind, the funky, soulful, hypnotic kind that drives its point home to the heart, rolling along on its own uncharted path to the true Zion. They call themselves, Treble Attack, a trio of self-made musicians and they are building an army of "treble-heads" on their musical crusade to mash up Babylon with music! ... more
