Soundtrack 02:42
walk down to your record shop and buy some revolution. cut a hole in forget-me-nots and count your contributions paid up in parking lots and fight your urge to be here tied down an d taking shots i find it hard to get clear does anybody care? stand back we're taking over the soundtrack is turning on these days are a Sunday hangin-over but our words are, ringing through stand back we're taking over the soundtrack is gettin' loud these days are a Sunday hangin-over but those words, yeah, they're gettin' through
5.
when you told me to get it together i thought i could weather, anything when i sold my record collection it was a disconnection from everything i hope your parachute is open i hope you're laughing in the streets i'd like to think this whole thing's over but i think i'll take an incomplete like a chump i fought it but i should know better i kept your sweater but nothing else and i traveled to new destinations the Carrie Nations on my car stereo i hope your parachute is open i hope your style is wearing on and i'd like to think this whole thing mattered and i'd like to think the worst withdrawn it's a riot of runaways it's so quiet i could die but that ain't nothing, no so let's oversimplify and you thought i would just stand there and bleed out technical knockout, but you got it wrong and i've seen you dwell on what we might have been like but that's a hitchhike on route never was i hope your parachute is open i hope your dreams are moving on i'd like to think it's all beginning but we kind a knew it along
6.
when ya going down? i'm still comin' 'round, the worst is coming along this is how it feels, crossbones, old wheels, we know i don't belong ooh what'd i tell ya, baby? words don't matter now, your dreams are fading through taking shots for rabies, werewolf eyebrow, nightmares are coming true ooh taking off again, folks don't need friends, running our ships on fumes it's all pretend, working on weekends, starting our shifts in tombs ooh when i see ya there i won't mess around, if i can hold to that i see it coming square, feelin' all profound, rat at tat tat tat second coming i've heard it all before, won't hold my breath but we're always holding on, baby holding back, holding on to death

Fake Elvis 03:55
Tear a little bit of heart outta this one Take a little bit more, don't leave no part behind keep pushing that knife before they take it away, no keep tearing us apart till nothing left yeah Close enough just keep your distance close it off it's in your interests but don't think about it, no Gotta hand it to ya, know to play the victim gotta say you let everything hurt your feelings won't sleep another day 'till you've kicked 'em won't stand for the news that you're kneeling Close enough just keep your distance close it off it's in your interests but don't think about it, no don't think about it, no just put your head in the sand just keep thinking that you understand make sure that your flags are waving and don't forget to leave with your armband Every little thing, every little thing, every little Every little thing, every little thing, every little Every little thing, every little thing'll be all right Every little thing, every little thing, every little Every little thing, every little thing, every little Every little thing, every little thing'll be all right

Moonbeams 03:45
you make up moonbeams, when you don't like what you see take in a movie, one that you think i might agree without a warning, winter is creeping away a state of mourning, when you don't like what i say get caught without your umbrella get caught without your dreams it's not about your questionable fellas it's more about that it's more than in may seem you wake up early when you sleep with your fears i get kind of worried when we're sleeping in new frontiers going all out with your tangled up talking through going all in, man, it might be worth a talking to get caught without your umbrella get caught without your neverending stare it's not about those things that make you well up it's more about those things we've left nowhere

Learn Karate 03:29
driving into town, this guy's tearing up the ro ho ho hoad take a look around but maybe i just got a bit too old the words are in the air but i don't know if i can recognize what the heck is going on - the world been hypnotized maybe it's time, but maybe it's not about me but maybe just in case i'm finally gonna learn karate neighbor's got a sign in his front yard, shake my he he head but we got a million people with our middle fingers raised instead waitin' for the other shoe, scared of what's up his sleeve never seen this before, a bad movie that you'd never believe maybe it's fine, but maybe it's not about me that dude's got a gun, i guess i'm finally gonna learn karate tired of being helpless. tired of being down. time to earn that white belt from the best dojo in town! picking up the phones cuz we gotta say what's on our mi i inds picking up the pieces cuz this country's been left behind taking up the fight like Teen Vogue and National Parks doing all we can because the future's looking kind of dark maybe i'm wrong, but maybe it's not about me maybe just in case i'm gonna finally learn karate maybe it's time, but baby, it's not about me Everybody's punching Nazis, and I'm finally gonna learn karate
10.
recognize, we're where we don't belong, and these monsters rarely stop to wait hit 'em in the eyes, your weapon's useless here, and these guys ain't looking for debate but it's coming. and we need to be prepared. and we best get humming, before we find the end hold the door, it's getting cold out there and i don't want to be left behind avoid the war, avoid the icy stares, avoid those sliced up states of mind and it's coming, no time to level up. you can feel the drumming, before we fight the end a band of unlikely heroes out to adventure and roam we're rolling nothing but zeroes looks like we're not coming home and it's coming, this is the last campaign we shoulda tried running, looks like we've found the end
