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

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

Can't Stand Lovin You

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)

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...

In the Name of War

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
