LYRICS
TAKE THE ROCK
© Luke Yeoward/King Cannons
All of the golden fields of the country are burning up under the sun.
When the cities are hot then where are you gonna go?
You feel the power when the rain is pouring, and its so cool when the night time has come and you can hear the cheers when the thunder rolls.
This could be be a new time, to do what is needed, or just let it go,
But “We don’t live off the land”
“We got the upper hand”
and “We’ll take what we can”
Take the rock - Find the diamonds and the gold.
Blow it up - Find a reason for a war
Cash it up - Take a little more money
Fill up the car, make a plan, make a call, pay your rent, have a drink, maybe talk about the weather. Stay logged in for more!
This is the modern world, and we are a part of it.
Didn’t think to stop it, because we didn’t start it.
Do we really think at all?
When we put up the next wall?
We cant see the earth no more!
Take the rock - Find the diamonds and the gold
Blow it up - Find a reason for a war
Cash it up - Take a little more money
You don’t live off the land
You think that you’ve got the upper hand
And your gonna take what you can…
Take the rock - Find the diamonds and the gold.
Blow it up - Find a reason for a war
Cash it up - Take a little more money
TEENAGE DREAMS
© Luke Yeoward/King Cannons
When I was a boy, 10 years old, my mother gave me her guitar, to this day I still hold. I knew what I wanted, started bangin’ out the tunes.
Out on the streets they thought I was confused.
All the time, money was tight, my father worked all day and into the night. Only salvation, sweet rock’n’roll, I played it to the world with my heart and my soul…
Now they are taking my teenage dreams away
All they want is my life and my money
Hopes and wishes are up for the killing
All they want is my life and my money
All I could think when they kicked me outta school, was that I don’t need this, gotta get out to the world.
Escape from the hate, violence and the fear, cruise around, meet a girl, drink a lot of beer. I wanna stay young, I’m gonna stay free, I’m always gonna get up, you aint seen the best of me. I’ve been knocked down so many times, too much pressure and now I find…
They are taking my teenage dreams away
All they want is my life and my money
Hopes and wishes are up for the killing
All they want is my life and my money
GASOLINE

When I got it, man I got it good, when I lose it, I lose it all.
Bangin’ my head, against the wall, a lone rebel against the world.
If I should tumble from the grace of god, who’s gonna catch me when I fall?
Time is undone, its back to square one, its my life that’s expendable.
Gasoline, gasoline, when its burning red.
A little waters all I need
Gasoline, Gasoline, burning red.
Who’s gonna give me what I need?
Its all out in the open, its all up and in the air.
What I want is out of reach, the ones in control don’t share.
I can only hope, this is temporary.
There’s order in your factory, but I aint so ordinary.
Gasoline, gasoline, when its burning red.
A little waters all I need
Gasoline, Gasoline, burning red.
Who’s gonna give me what I need?
SMOKED OUT CITY
© Luke Yeoward/King Cannons
In a smoked out city, on a two wheeler cruiser, lookin’ for the Big Kahuna.
Through the heat and the cars, the groups and little bars, my ideas could not come sooner.
If I lock it up, they’re gonna steal it, if I leave it they wont come near it.
When I get on, anywhere, I’m gonna go
Off the beaten track, where the buses don’t go
Inner city cowboy, please don’t take your guns to town
It’s a rough city rodeo, don’t let those feet touch on the ground
Well I’m a lone rider, when I smoke, I catch my breath
I just forget about the law, I don’t ride north, south, east, or west
In a smoked out city, on a two wheeler cruiser, lookin’ for the Big Kahuna.
Through the heat and the cars, the groups and little bars, my ideas could not come sooner.
If I lock it up, they’re gonna steal it, if I leave it they wont come near it.
When I get on, anywhere, I’m gonna go
Off the beaten track, where the buses don’t go
I feel every drop of the rain
I hear peoples screams of pain
Im breathing, and your breathing, the carbon waste.
I need to keep on moving
I wanna keep on moving
In a smoked out city, on a two wheeler cruiser, lookin’ for the Big Kahuna.
Through the heat and the cars, the groups and little bars, my ideas could not come sooner.
If I lock it up, they’re gonna steal it, if I leave it they wont come near it.
When I get on, anywhere, I’m gonna go
Off the beaten track, where the buses don’t go
Smoked out city, Im in a smoked out city.
TIME TO YOURSELF
© Luke Yeoward/King Cannons
Time to yourself is what you need to be well.
Time to not be hearing people fighting and shout
Time to ease up on your body, your mind aswell.
It always…
Be time to work, when it be time to roll.
Be time to jam, I got no time for my girl.
Feet up and resting, I should be out in the world.
In the busy city you know…
My ears the catch fire, from the bad words that you say.
My back it is breaking from support that you need.
Nonsense demands, nonsense calamity.
I hear it everyday…
Man, them struggle, try to be a winner.
Try to get up ahead, and never rest till he break even.
Try to be kind, loving and grateful, but needs that opportunity to take a little time breathe and you know…
Time to yourself is what you need to be well.
Time to not be hearing people fighting and shout
Time to ease up on your body, your mind aswell.
(Chill out, kick back, you need…)
Time to yourself is what you need to be well.
Time to not be hearing people fighting and shout
Time to ease up your body, your mind aswell.
It always…
Be time to work, when it be time to roll.
Be time to jam, I got no time for my girl.
Feet up and resting, I should be out in the world.
In the busy city you know…
I don’t wanna be a bad man, no no no
I don’t wanna do nobody no wrong
I don’t wanna be the one that’s gonna stand around and knock it.
I want to be up in a cool cool place, makin’a sweet racket.
Clear out my head, let the rhythm beat out my blues
Get outta that old, and start livin’ it up again in the new…
Time to yourself is what you need to be well….
