Flatfoot 56

I once met a person of abnormal size, seemed like a vision of old. When he walked the ground shook, put a crick in my neck. What's your size, man, if I could be so bold? I ain't gonna bother, I ain't gonna bother, I ain't gonna bother to tell you, son! You nev...

Amazing Grace How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost But now am found, Was blind, but now I see T'was Grace that taught My heart to fear. And Grace, my fears relieved How precious did that Grace appear The hour I first believed Throu...

The time has come old boy for me to tell you a tale Of a man filled with passion there’s no room for him to fail He sailed his ship the Lidy Hoo, across the seven seas With his crew screaming at him, lead us on, sir, if you please One day the Lidy Hoo sai...

As I have watched you pass like a shooting star. Like the sun, I wonder just where you are. I had your back; I thought that you had mine. Guess your faith couldn’t stand the test of time. So bail away your sinking ship of pain. Flushing down what’s stood fo...

You said two years ago, God bless this hollow ground and now that the time has come you don't want him around the faith that you seem to show, now has dried and gone good times won't last so long. Blood and sweat, built this town, you aren't gonna tear it dow...

Pull back the curtains, snap off the string. This tired and lonely man is offering everything. Tie up the main mast, boys, we’re going into the storm. Passion’s not found in roses, but it’s in the thorns. Farewell to the reckless, I want the real thing. This...

Flatfoot 56 will beat you with his Billy stick He's rough, he's tough, and he'll call your bluff turn out the lights, run away Flatfoot's coming and you're gonna pay Break, breakin' the law, all you do is break the law cheap tricks, jimmy sticks, knuckles and...

It's been said that a little man can move mountains If his faith is as big as a mustard seed But I know that in this life it's hard To believe in the little things that we can not see In this land in the city of broad shoulders In the right part of town that...

I was there and I saw you, saw you, crossing the line and look the other way. Back when the faithful found you face down in the mud, you had hell to pay. I guess the world just beat you up, pushed you aside but it was your choice. But now you’re running back,...

As I walk through this land, I remember the boys who took a stand , Who stood there strong when things got tough, They would shout and scream at the things that were rough, No weapon formed against them would live, A punch to the face, a kick to the rib Their...

I see you coming, don't do it I know you and I see through it You brought your gifts together Your faith was cast down 'cause his was better You got him alone with no one around And you beat his face into the ground CAIN! CAIN! I see you coming don't do it I k...

Late one night in the pale moon light Hey now now now carry 'em out Ran a crew of hoods with a lust for life Hey now now now carry 'em out They grabbed this boy asleep in bed Hey now now now carry 'em out Laying in slumber as if half dead Hey now now now carry...

Jimmy walked to his car, attacked by a gang coming from a bar twenty on one the fight was fair circled around, Jimmy didn't care bring your boys get ready to go swing your fist, let's start the show they came in strong, he held his own swingin' and punchin' th...

I run but never get away Chinatown jail break Sitting in this cell these bars wide open Stricken by the light I fear the unspoken The Son is my hope my shelter and my guide But I'd rather choose this lonely cell this hole where I hide I run but never get awa...

Like tree without its branches, like a fire without a light, You're a battle weary soldier who is running from the fight, Like a ship without an anchor, you're a boat without a crew, You hide the light inside you as you're whoring out the truth, On the outside...

Check one. Check one, two... This one’s coming at your stereo.... Born to a fighter on the deep South side. A sweaty blue collar, but you didn’t mind. The cost of a family meant your blood and tears. Fourteen hours in a world of gears. Your daughter, your...

It's not a kid, it's just a thing selfishness is the song you sing it's your body, it's your choice but the life inside you has a voice the news has pulled your pride wall down now you're not the stud in town you gave him life don't kill the child just becaus...

If reality was an ocean you're a puddle If it was all about your clothes then you'll be king But you gotta understand there is a struggle between doing what you want And doing your own thing Carry on your fake parade on your road of masquerade Ride the waves...

We're the scallywags of Archer street, we don't know when to quit, We go to shows, we sing out loud, we scuttle every pit, But when it comes to praising God we always bow our knee, We go to him, we sing out loud, it's him that made us free, From the depths of...

Cool your jets. You’re going nowhere. Check the mirror, you’re like a road flare. Just ’cause some jerk stepped on your toes, doesn’t mean you gotta go and break his nose. Hot head! Hot head! Hot head! Hot head! Hot head! Hot head! Hot head! Hot head! Hot h...

I believe in second chances I believe it Living as the time clock dances I believe it Throw your fears into the ocean I believe it It’s hard to stop what’s put in motion I believe it Foolish minds do all the talking I believe it Gotta shut your mouth...

Some glad morning when this life is over, I'll fly away. To a home on God's celestial shore, I'll fly away. I'll fly away, Oh Glory, I'll fly away. When I die, Hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away (I'll fly away). When the shadows of this life are gone, I'll fl...

Every time we play a show, he's right there, ready to go, got his kilt and his apple hat, crossed suspenders on his back, doing moves that no one's seen, everyone thinks he's plain old mean, he's not there to start a fight, he's just rocking out for Jesus Chri...

In the year of our Lord 1903, in the meat packing plants off the shores of the sea Stood a young man at his slaughter post a newby by his side He said grind it up and ship it out doesn't matter what's inside With poison bread to kill the rats, an effective too...

Sammy was a skin living in a danger zone people were fighting with him everyday his number one defense was throwing his knuckles up and showing the world the price they had to pay An eye for an eye, and everything in between an eye for an eye, and we'll pay t...

I write this letter from the soot in my cell. Your cherished name echoes through this hell. My body aches from the scars that show just a fragment of a man you used to know. Back of the yards, on the butcher line, Irish and German all doing time. Knocking ‘em...

They say I'll kick you in the face We say can I take your place They say Crush them when they're week We say Turn the other cheek Hey hey this is my loaded gun They Say, I hate your colored skin We say, We're all the same within They say, You're the scum of...

The kids are right the kids are wrong Pound your chest and sing this song To my right my left the ollie kids call Come weak come strong come one come all Ollie ollie oxen free Doesn't mean a thing to me, go! This city's ours not a fashion club The will to st...

Pay me a dollar for my sweat and my blood With callus hands I work the land in the pain and the mud I take pride in what I do to serve is my own joy I will work hard for you good sir I'm an all-American boy I say hey for my lazy work today That's right I'll b...

It's the same old story, I was young I was naive And I was dumb, my pops said stand But then I ran Into the trap of Satan's plan And the dog that spread those lies And with those lies I ran Just as the water reflects the face So the heart reflects the man I...

In times of hell, in times of sun, you journeyed with me, my precious one. Far stretched the road I found you on. We walked together arm in arm. Oh, shiny eyes, bright as the sun. You were my treasure, my dearest one. Oh, shiny eyes, right where you stand....

Don’t blow your sunshine up my… Big bad wolf come right on in. I’m your little pig here within. You think you’re big, you’re bad, you’re good. You’re just another wolf in this pig’s hood. You run your mouth spewing lies. Can’t catch me and that’s no surprise...

Looking past the edge of moonlight, hoping for the break of day. Seeing only cracks in sidewalks, not the paved city way. Looking down this road to glory in a car designed to fail. Breathing cold winds of freedom while my mind remains in jail. Looking past th...

If I had jaws of a lion, if I had claws on my hands and feet, then all the power that I possess I would use to your defeat... Common... And if I was tall like a mighty mountain, if I was brutal as the desert sand, I would let you run ’til you got away, then...

He stood right strong in the face of danger He stood right strong in the face of pain Deep inside was the will of the father As this saint was bruised and slain Standing for nothing you'll fall for anything 

Don’t fear my friend, don’t hang your head. You run every time the truth is said. You broke a smile for a while, now it’s gone again. Gotta question those you call your friends. I miss so dear my friend before, now your calling card is a slamming door. Stabbin...

Take hold again, gotta find my daily trend. Here I stand a piece of my old self. Not a victim anymore, shadow knocking at my door. A trail of broken friends my only wealth. And the payment for this pastime, like a book I cannot sell. But still a conqueror in t...

We plant our feet on stable ground, but we feel strong enough to go round for round. We think right’s wrong, wrong’s right, but what’s done in the dark will be brought to light. Bend the paper to the other side. Compromise and then we’ll terrorize. Hard to sta...

I don't like Hagas I don't like Bruse That's ok its what i choose I don't have a girl Cause I'm a bum Thats ok they cost a ton That's ok Well that's ok We don't need them anyway That's ok Well that's ok We don't need them anyway Go! I don't do drugs I don't...

Tired of the everyday grind? Want to get away from it all? Ever dream of a life of...romantic adventure? We offer you…escape. 

Bound to sail these ugly seas and hear the seagull's call Doomed to hear the rat-tat-tat of the quarter master's call The salt wind blows the slave boss crows making my skin crawl As I row this cross of mine to the place of the skull Hour after hour rowing on...

Hey... Hey... I’m sitting in the cell of this hourglass. My time slips away, stolen too fast. Everyday, everyday I’m breathing it in. The pressure of my life, the pressure within. Saying working hard is all I know, but the weight of this sand is making me s...

It's been two long years since I started on this road longing for that place I call my home and in the battlefield, in the sun, and in the sand I will never forget my home land It's a long road, and you're waiting at the gates for me Standing on this battle gr...

Jump on aboard young bonny lad. We'll fight like our fathers before, and we won't stop until freedom's found in this awful, bloody war, We proudly raise the colors of our flag. We'll fight for honor and our God, And we will fight the evil foe who now has sword...

I am a man who owns many islands. You’ll find my footprints upon many shores. Yet l found no place in my distant travels. It all unravels, making me want more. Rumble on the deck, I’ve boxed many a strongman. If you’ve got an answer, I can prove you wrong. Yet...

Build your brother up, tear your anger down throw your fist into the air, tell all your friends that you'll stand strong until the end let them all know their Father cares I've been alone since the day I was born living my life just for myself just drinking a...

I'll be the for you when you want me to, and I'll be there for you in the roughest times, cause my love for you brother is more than I can say, I've got your back and you've got mine, and everybody knows that in a fight, we'll be just fine, I'll be praying to...

He's all alone with nothing to be, but a propaganda junkie for the TV screen. Twenty short minutes to see his parents home. Quality time is a thing of the past. He’s always on his own, just ten and a half. He’s got his own keys but he is still just a kid. This...

Our streets are filled with the color of rage we'll turn this town around the time has come for another age you'll never knock us down the ways of this world are cause for revolt we'll turn this town around grab the colors and be the salt whoa, oh, oh the str...

Upon this lowly railroad spike my hammer swung and fell. Down the mighty Mississipp,’ where the raging waters swell. In the corner of that factory, a dark man-made hell, I’ll be sitting there in my snare making what they sell. With a silver spoon breaking my t...

Welcome to the killing fields (You'll try) Where thorns infest the ground that pain yields Where the bones of triumph show (You'll fail) The beast they feed on the dying flesh of old But the sun on this land has set (You won't) The day of redemption is...

When the waves of decision come on me When everything I told myself fades When the forces of darkness surround me I remember the price you paid You see my heart is totally evil And I need your strength to come in Please take these chains that bind me And banis...

I’m a pilgrim on this onward story, passing by the slow and stale. Walking past the crowded masses with eyes so cold and pale. I will go the way very few have gone before me. Past the day, I want so much more. Some spend their time calling out what others hav...

Staring death in the face, we’ve determined it’s the end. Here we stand, poorest of them all. No one cares but my three friends. Walking down the battle line, my pain present through it all. Looking for a final death, but our suffering a battle call. Wohooh.....

There is a battle waging on And there's no good men to be found Where are the people who will stand for what is right? Why has holiness decreased? Why has purity just ceased? Where are the people who will stand up and fight? I know the plans you have for me...

Every day is a constant struggle to remember all your promises, forgetting what you told me is something of a constant occurrence, But you will always be there, lifting me up pulling me right through, In a world shifting of sand, I will always put my faith in...

In this land of the bitter cold, where the dead still have their say. Winter storms that I’ve survived in, this year's the worst I’ve ever seen. More crooks than a rusty saw blade, yet the blues take it all away. Rail cars all herd together, 'cause they know t...

I don’t aim to please, only to love. Got more purpose than to be in the club. Are we fighting fire by burning out? Giving in by turning down? I’ve heard it said, “Man, what’s the use? You’re too different for our open views.” When did acceptance become a game?...

I am down and I feel beat. Dear old pain’s called me a friend again, but with you I feel free. I’ve been alone, but I’ve held my post. But through Your steady hand I breathe new hope. Through all the fallacy that today’s love brings. Through all the mire o...
