Lyrics from our first album - "Land of Plenty" 1990
"Into the Darkness" lyrics by Eldon McGraw
Life's been goin so fast
A crash and burn that's not gonna last
I've felt it before but it's been a long time
The love I've lost is yours to find
I'm falling
Into the darkness
I'm falling
Into the darkness
Deep in a dark alley
There lies a child bleeding to death
There aint no hope in his eyes
Nuthin left but a little breath
He's falling
Into the darkness
He's falling
Into the darkness
When the truth leads man
From the pain of it all
He'll soon be off the edge
Returning to the wailing wall
We'll be falling
Into the darkness
We'll be falling
Into the darkness
When the need for the greed of the GNP
Leads them to believe and succeed
With nothing to breed, you'll see
They'll be falling
Into the darkness
"Livin' and Lovin On" - lyrics by Eldon McGraw
I'm just boppin along singin my same old song
And I've got nowhere to go
Tainted words and faded hopes
Long lost dreams and dried out smokes
I hope I've gone too far driving in my car
Maybe baby I'll see ya soon
Well I'm feeling so good
Livin and lovin on we just keep on
Livin and lovin
Livin and lovin on we just keep on
Livin and lovin on
Evening gold is fading fast
I've gone too far I hope I last
Aint on no free ride no ticket to fame
This aint gonna be no life without pain
Time's gone by right through my soul
Don't ever leave my side baby please don't go
Well I'm feeling so good
Livin and lovin on we just keep on
Livin and lovin on
Livin and lovin on we just keep on
Well I saw the light come into our room
It bounced off the walls left a beautiful view
On a moonlit night you came into my arms
You swore to me there would be no harm
Drifting through a long lost haze
Temperature is on the rise
I hope I make it to you soon
Cause our love won't be denied
Well I'm feeling so good
Livin and lovin on
Livin and lovin on we just keep on
Livin and lovin on
Livin and lovin on we just keep on
"I Gotta See Your Face" - lyrics by Eldon McGraw and Bonnie McGraw
I'm drivin down the lost freeway of souls
Pressure gettin stronger like you've never know
I've got one thing pushin me
Faster than I can go
I hope you're waiting for me
At the end of this long road
I gotta see your face
I gotta see your face
The pain of your past still shows in your face
Your infectious smile is gone today
Your situation is lost, your glory is gone
But nuthin can stop me from this path I'm on
I gotta see your face
I gotta see your face
Your reasons for living are different today
Your in control of your life
Nuthin can stop you cause there's passion in your play
Well go ahead and fight
I yeah I gotta see your face
I yeah I gotta see your face
Well now you're happy but you always want more
So go ahead and take it
I'm gonna fight right through your arms holded tight
Don't you mistake it
I yeah I gotta see your face
I yeah I gotta see your face
"Can't Take It Much Longer" - lyrics by Eldon McGraw
We walk the streets crying freedom every one of us
The battles just begun with justice at then end
Fists in the air, guns pointed at our heads
We will not forget the faces of the dead
We can't take it much longer
We can't take it much longer
Working hard to get through to you
But we can't take it much longer
Well just when you thought we were givin it all up
We came back at you with all that we had
And all that we had, well it's not enough
But all that we had is makin it tough
Can't take it much
Can't take it much longer
We can't take it much longer
Workin hard to get through to you
But we can't take it much longer
The sun will rise on every one of us
But the blood will rise with the falling of the dusk
They can run today but they won't hide forever
Beause the power of the people is driven by liberty
Freedom for the left, freedom for the right
Freedom for oppressed, freedom down the line
Well just you thought we were givin it all up
We came back at you with all that we had
And all that we had, well it's not enough
But all that we had is makin it tough
Can't take it much
Can't take it much longer
We can't take it much longer
Workin hard to get through you
But we can't take it much longer
In the beginning, it was too good to be true
What we always hoped for, well maybe it's through
But we won't forget, the sacrifices made
And we won't forget, the faces of the dead
The world won't forget, what we've done
And the world won't forget, what they've
Becuase the day will come, when your rule end
And the day will come, with justice at the end
We can't take it much longer
We can't take it much longer
We can't take it much longer
We can't take it much longer
"Believe It" - lyrics by Eldon McGraw and Mike Anderson
Jesus Christ I can't believe it
Is my mind in tune or bleeding
I can't hear the drums
But I think they're beating
The color of that sound
Is very deceiving
I just hope, I hope that I won't be needed
Whoa whoa whoa what do I hear
Whoa whoa whoa I can't believe it
The beat keeps getting stronger
And the heat won't come to an end
And I'm just standin around
Cause I don't know where to begin
Just one more crack in that smile
Might make me go insane
The future's so uncertain
Except for a little pain
Whoa whoa whoa what do I hear
Whoa whoa whoa I can't believe it
Jesus Christ I can't believe it
Is my mind in tune or bleeding
I can't hear the drums
But I think they're beating
The color of the sound
Is very deceiving
I just hope, I hope that I won't be needed
Whoa whoa whoa what do I hear
Whoa whoa whoa what do I see
Whoa whoa whoa I can't believe it
Whoa whoa whoa I cn't belive it
"Give God Your Money" - lyrics by Mike Anderson
I used to praise him and his superstar
But after watching Sunday tube, I know just how things are
He don't want your praise, he don't want your love
He don't want obedience, God wants your bucks
Give God your money, he can't get enough
Cause up in heaven , things are kinda tough
Angels on welfare, they need a helping hand
Give God your money or you'll be damned
God's threatening preachers with certain doom
Hid extortion racket is a financial boom
Hey, you came through, his disciple didn't die
We all made a payment to the gangster in the sky
Give God your money or people will die
Give God your money - he's through being nice
Don't bother praying - write out a check
Give God your money or he'll wring some necks
It's corrupted leaders. It's corrupted kids.
It's corrupted everyone - that's what money did
The root of evil is a real vice
But I'm afraid the evil's won - it's corrupted Christ
Give God your money, don't be proud
Just stick it in an envelope and send it to the clouds
Don't know the address? Well, give that cash to me!
I'll see he gets it, I guarantee
"Land of Plenty" lyrics by Eldon McGraw
There's a man workin hard
But his kid's got nuthin to eat
There's a politician there
But he's lying through his teeth
Temptation is on the rise
Workin for the power and greed
Reachin for the golden prize
Steppin on those who need
I'm losin my way
I'm losin my way
I'm losing my way in this land of plenty
I'm losing my way in this land of plenty
Clouds of darkness in the air
Gettin darker before they turn grey
The air keeps geting thicker
While they still have nuthin to say
Destruction comin face to face
Gaining at a faster pace
Walls of pain will remain
While margins are going insane
I'm losin my way
I'm losing my way
I'm losin my way in this land of plenty
I'm losin my way in this land of plenty
Salvation is not far away
At least that's what they tell ya
Hope is lost on all who pay
At least that's what they sell ya
The path they want us to take
Is separated by two means
Their takin us to the limit
And cuttin us to the lean
I'm losin my way
I'm losin my way
I'm losin my way in this land of plenty
I'm losin my way in this land of plenty
I'm losin my way
Salvation is not too far away
Hope is lost on those who pay
I'm losin my way
I'm losin my way
I'm losin my way in this land of plenty
I'm losin my way in this land of plenty
I'm losin my way
I'm losin my way
"Can't See the Light" - lyrics by Tommy Gomez
I know that we've been told that we can make it
All that we could do was fake a lie
They don't need to know what we've been through
As long as it's between just me and you
It seems as though we've been searchin through life
Reachin for something that we couldn't find
That's alright, baby that's alright
Can't find a dream unless you try
Baby my eyes, can't see the light
And all we do is fight
So let's just agree, to disagree
And all we've learned, may turn out right
I think we'll both miss a love we had
But as time pushes on, baby we'll both look back
Back on something, that's not what we think it is now
I helped you find your way, you helped me find mine
Now we're suppossed to leave this world behind
But the question still remains
Can we ever really say goodbye
Baby my eyes, can't see the light
And all we do is fight
So let's just agree, to disagree
And all we've learned, may turn out right
Baby my eyes, can't see the light
And all we do is fight
So let's just agree, to disagree
And all we've learned, may turn out right
Can't see the light
Can't see the light
"The World Keeps a Balance" - lyrics by Jeff Behrendt
The world keeps a balance
The world keeps a balance
With the slaughter of the innocents
With the slaughter of the innocents
The world keeps a balance
The world keeps a balance
The world keeps a balance
With the slaughter of the innocents
With the slaughter of the innocents
Death comes packaged in shiny colors
Deprived of the choices that are made by others
Violence rages to the sound of money
People getting screwed and I think it’s funny
The world keeps a balance
The world keeps a balance
With the slaughter of the innocents
With the slaughter of the innocents
The world keeps a balance
The world keeps a balance
The world keeps a balance
With the slaughter of the innocents
With the slaughter of the innocents
Covert struggle with plastic lovers
Habits stolen from the bed of others
Smiling harlots and it sounds like thunder
People fall in love when their six feet under
The world keeps a balance
The world keeps a balance
With the slaughter of the innocents
With the slaughter of the innocents
The world keeps a balance
The world keeps a balance
The world keeps a balance
With the slaughter of the innocents
With the slaughter of the innocents
Piles of money when your in to win it
Lawyer up even if you did it
Grey brain matter and spoon-fed grool
Wartime profit gonna break the rules
The world keeps a balance
The world keeps a balance
With the slaughter of the innocents
With the slaughter of the innocents
The world keeps a balance
The world keeps a balance
The world keeps a balance
With the slaughter of the innocents
With the slaughter of the innocents
With the slaughter of the innocents
With the slaughter of the innocents
With the slaughter of the innocents
Life's been goin so fast

Lyrics from our second album "Is This the End?" - 1991
"Sky Girl" lyrics by Mike Anderson
She was just a little girl
Her parent's little pet
She had some dreams and seen some thing
That most people forget
The illusions that were real
They never left her eyes
She never learned not to believe
Or take a mortal guise
A man, he looked down right on her
She gazed up right back
He had tried to take from her
What he himself did lack
He said, "I'm gonna break your spirit"
She said, "You talk too much"
"How the hell can you break
what you can't even touch"
Just watch me spread my wings
And make love to the sky
While you stumble round on the ground
And very slowly die
"She Likes to Rock" lyrics by Eldon McGraw
She's got a drink in her hand and she's ready to go
She's gonna rev herself up for one more show
Goin as fast as she can with nowhere to turn
She's goin outta control with a body to burn
She likes to rock
All night long
She likes to rock
Until she can't come down
She likes to rock
All night long
She likes to rock
Until she can't come down
She likes to rock
She likes to rock
With just a little bit of passion and a lot of play
She like's to party in the night and party in the day
She takes what she can in the good things in life
She never gets her fill of each and every night
She likes to rock
All night long
She likes to rock
Until she can't come down
She likes to rock
All night long
She likes to rock
Until she can't come down
She likes to rock
She likes to rock
Sounds and lights are flashin all over the place
Her heartbeats goin faster, faster than a race
She's gettin higher and higher off the music in the air
Gettin as high as she can with no other cares
She likes to rock
All night long
She likes to rock
Until she can't come down
She likes to rock
All night long
She likes to rock
Until she can't come down
She likes to rock
She likes to rock
"Is This the End?" - lyrics by Eldon McGraw
The guns are ablaze
Setting the city on fire
A mother stares at a grave
While a crack dealer smiles
Violence is justified
When there's no end in sight
Morality is not the issue
When there is no wrong from right
How can a nation be for real
When its disintegrated with no appeal
Is this the end? Please tell me now
Is this the end? Please tell me how
The pressure continues from all around
From the Pentagon to the president
In the cities and the towns
Is caring and sharing a thing of the past?
Have we worked so hard for something that will last?
How can a nation be for real
When its disintegrated with no appeal
Is this the end? Please tell me now
Is this the end? Please tell me how
Hasn't the past
Unlocked the future
Who's got the power to be able to see
Why's the door still closed
Closed to the future
Who's goin' find that opening key
How can a nation be for real
When its disintegrated with no appeal
Is this the end? Please tell me now
Is this the end? Please tell me how
She was just a little girl
Her parent's little pet

When its disintegrated with no appeal
Is this the end? Please tell me now
Is this the end? Please tell me how
Lyrics from our third album "Black Is Back" - 2010
"Hey Baby" lyrics by Eldon McGraw
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight
My baby left Detroit
And she aint comin back
I'm just here wastin away
With another six pack
She said she's goin home
To meet a friend from the past
She said to leave her alone
She's so sick of my crap
Hey baby, I can't leave you alone
Hey baby, pick up the phone
Hey baby, what do you want from me?
Hey baby, I don't want you to leave
Every woman has her wants
And every woman has her needs
My baby's like the rest
She's got desires to feed
She says that I'm stalking
Well that might be a fact
I just want her and me
To keep our lives intact
Hey baby, I can't leave you alone
Hey baby, pick up the phone
Hey baby, what do you want from me?
Hey baby, I don't want you to leave
Every man has his wants
And every man has his needs
I'm just a screwed up soul
With a woman I want to keep
My baby left New York
And she's comin back to me
Don't know if I want her know
What the hell is wrong with me?
Hey baby, I can't leave you alone
Hey baby, pick up the phone
Hey baby, what do you want from me?
Hey baby, I don't want you to leave
Hey baby
Hey baby
Hey baby
Hey baby
"Comin' at Your Face" - lyrics written by Eldon McGraw
They said we never do it
Never count us out
We're like a pack of rabid dogs
Frothin at the mouth
We're comin at your face
We're comin at your face
We're comin at your face
We're comin at your face
The pain is always too much
When you're built like this
We're takin it all the way
With an iron fist
We're comin at your face
We're comin at your face
We're comin at your face
We're comin at your face
Detroit to the big time
They say we're not the same
Don't try to put us out
We're burnin like a flame
We're comin at your face
We're comin at your face
We're comin at your face
We're comin at your face
They said we never do it
Never count us out
We're like a pack of rabid dogs
Frothin at the mouth
We're comin at your face
We're comin at your face
We're comin at your face
We're comin at your face
"Anxiety" - lyrics by Eldon McGraw
When Ray Davies sang about the pressure
I didn't know what he meant
Now I'm getting so much older
I can feel his pain and torment
Panic and pain
Are my way of life
Stab me now
With a shiny new knife
Jack and Jim Beam
Don't get the job done
Tears are flowing
Gonna get my gun
A black cloud is over my head
Bullet in my brain, wish I was dead
Anxiety - prozac, xanax
Anxiety - I need to relax
Pushin to the limit
Is my way of life
Brain on overload
Nuthin to find
Sweats been pourin
All day and night
My nerves are shot
Nuthin seems right
A black cloud is over my head
bullet in my brain, cause I wish I was dead
Anxiety - prozac, xanax
Anxiety - I need to relax
Why can't I go back
To the good times in life
Why can't I go back
To a life without strife
Why oh why
Why oh why
Why oh why
Better to burn out
Than fade away
Just like Cobain
Do it his way
Or live like Neil Young
With passion and play
And live my life
To a ripe old age
A black cloud is over my head
Bullet in my brain, cause I wish I was dead
Anxiety - prozac, xanax
Anxiety - I need to relax
Anxiety
Anxiety
Anxiety
Anxiety
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
"Way Out Brother/Train" - lyrics by Randy Matthews
Give me a road and I'll take it home
Some place I'd rather be
Give me some space to sit in my place
It's better than wait and see
Give me some time to make up my mind
I know with time I'll eventually find
My way-out brother
From another
Way-out brother
Who's your father?
Give some rope and I'll hold out hope
Spacemen will come for me
God of the sky - it isn't a lie
Jesus was there to see
Stick to your guns and we'll all be suns
Of the graces left you and me
From the way-out brother
From another
Way-out Brother
From the Mother ship
Well, the train keeps a rollin'
Keeps a rollin' round the bend
And your life keeps a goin'
Keeps a going' til the end
So don't justify ad existence that's a lie - Oh yeah
Why do you think there's only one way out
I found a way- it's to yell and scream and shout
I don't want to be as rigid as a tree
Oh, God help me - I just want to be free
And the train keeps a rollin'
Keeps a rollin' round the bend
And your life keeps a goin'
Keeps a going' til the end
So don't justify ad existence that's a lie - Oh yeah
Why do you think there's only one way out
I found a way- it's to yell and scream and shout
Don't you go and tell me I got it all wrong
Look at our masses - see us get strong
And the train keeps a movin'
Keeps a movin' down the track
And your life keeps a movin like it's never coming back
And the train keeps a movin'
Keeps a moving down the rail
And your life keeps a movin' though its moving like a snail
So don't justify and existence that's a life - Oh yeah
Why do you think there's only one way out
I found a way- it's to yell and scream and shout
I don't want to be as rigid as a tree
Oh, God help me - I just want to be free
"She's Fire" - lyrics by Jeff Behrendt
Keeping this city hot
She's Fire
Heating up the whole damn block
She's Fire
Wish we could mess around
She's Fire
Burning me to the ground
When I hold her in my arms
Fireworks in all her charms
Trying to control the burn
Something that I'll never learn
She's Fire
Keeping this city hot
She's Fire
Heating up the whole damn block
She's Fire
Wish we could mess around
She's Fire
Burning me to the ground
Dancing while pretty natural at play
Molten movement can't stay away
Tinder box enjoy the pain
Standing in her burning flame
She's Fire
Keeping this city hot
She's Fire
Heating up the whole damn block
She's Fire
Wish we could mess around
She's Fire
Burning me to the ground
Lighting up the sky at night
Sparkler in broad daylight
Play with matches sure get burned
Lessons that I should have learned
"My Misery Wants Company" - lyrics by Eldon McGraw
Come on down
have a drink with me
Let's take it to the bottom
Let's pound another magnum
Come on down
Have a hit with me
Let's take it to the sky
Let's set ourselves free
We've been the best of friends
For so many drunken years
It aint time to slow it down
Come on man have no fears
My misery wants company
Come on and have a drink with me
My misery wants company
Pour it down and set us free, I said yeah
Come on down
Roll the dice with me
Another hit or stand
Another spin of the wheel
Come on down
Have a smoke with me
Go ahead and let it go
You'll be safe with me
We've been the best of friends
For so many stoned out years
It aint time to slow it down
Come on man have no fears
My misery wants company
Have a hit with me
My misery wants company
Smoke it up and set us free
My misery wants company
My misery wants company
My misery wants company
My misery wants company
We've been the best of friends
We've been the best of friends
We've been the best of friends
We've been the best of friends
"Fool" - lyrics by Eldon McGraw
I saw the end many years ago
I didn't think it would come back
They say history will repeat itself
Man is that a fact
But I never thought I would see destruction
so many tattered lives here and there
Where are the all the signs of construction
Does anybody really care?
The end always seemed
so far away
A light in the distance
Always ready to fade
But I see right now
I have been fooled
Yeah I see right now
I have been fooled
I see right now I have been fooled
I see right now we have all been fooled
I saw my face in the mirror today
My head is not in the game
All I see on my tortured face
Is the plight of my pain
Whatever happened to
All of my hopes
Yeah and and all of my dreams
They took my peaceful soul from me
What happened to my being
The end always seemed
so far away
A light in the distance
Always ready to fade
But I see right now
I have been fooled
Yeah I see right now
I have been fooled
I see right now I have been fooled
I see right now we have all been fooled
I see it, I see it, I see it right now
I see it, I see it, I see it right now
But I see right now
I have been fooled
Yeah I see right now
I have been fooled
I see right now I have been fooled
I see right now we have all been fooled
"Shadow Play" - lyrics by Jeff Behrendt
In the gloom of that dark room
I had no say to get away
We were called a team
It seemed like a dream
Take them all out
That's what it's all about
They were evil
They were wicked
Were on the right side
Now they can't seem to hide
Oh no
They gave the order
To take the border
I turn my head
I see the dead
Asleep or awake
It's more than I can take
Asleep or awake
It's more than I can take
Asleep or awake
It's more than I can take
Asleep or awake
It's more than I can take
We were called a team
It seemed like a dream
Take them all out
That's what it's all about
They were evil
They were wicked
Were on the right side
Now they can't seem to hide
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no
"The One" - lyrics by Tommy Gomez
I have to make it now baby
Cause if I don't I never will
I have to make it now my love
Before I am still
I need you
I need your love
I need to be, be the one
Who will follow these footsteps
That's what matter now
Not the pain I feel with each step
But who, who follows me now
I need you
I need your love
I need to be, be the one
A time will come when I can't feel
A day when thosw who follow will reel
On that day I need you
On that I need you
I need your love
I need to be the one
Please don't let me down now
You who follow, follow me around
I need you
I need your love
I need to be, be the one
I need you
I need your love
I need to be, be the one
"Rock" - lyrics by Jeff Behrendt
Got our start on Detroit Street
A rag tag band that couldn't be beat
Wrote our own songs and played them too
Open mic nights and the fanbase grew
Let's rock
It's our time to rock
Let's rock
Let's turn back the clock
Let's rock
It's our time to rock
Let's rock
Let's turn back the clock
Wrote our own songs and we made the scene
Layed down the music in the studio dream
Photo shoot and the video
Take it all in and here we go
Let's rock
It's our time to rock
Let's rock
Let's turn back the clock
Let's rock
It's our time to rock
Let's rock
Let's turn back the clock
The years go by and it's plain to see
There something that's got to be
It's just got to be, it's got to be yeah yeah
Life adds up and the years move on
Twenty years later and here we are
Turn the page in the digital age
Classic rock chords and it's all the rage
Let's rock
It's our time to rock
Let's rock
Let's turn back the clock
Let's rock
It's our time to rock
Let's rock
Let's turn back the clock
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight
