Savior 04:23
Words and Music: Eddie Star, Kelly Charles, David Taub When I was just a kid I’d sit in front of the t.v. Watching all those super-heros And dreaming it was me. Now I am almost grown-up So many things I see I’ve looked into this whole wide world And seen life’s harsh reality I feel your pain. I feel your heartache. I feel your sorrow. I feel your outrage. I am not your savior I am not your superman I’m not someone who could save your life I wish I could be superman The strong man of steel Then I could save all of mankind And all of societies wounds heal Faster than a speeding bullet I could fly higher than a plane I could protect the innocent and the weak From all the acts that are so insane I wish I could be batman The hooded avenger of the night I’d cruise around in my Bat-mobile And turn all the wrongs into rights But I am only a young man Made of flesh and blood I can’t even save myself From this wave of evil crude. © 2013 Ton-Up, Inc.

Bleed 03:22
Bleed Words and Music: Eddie Star, Anthony Griffith, Fred Schreuders Verse #1​ I can see you standing there trying to act like you don’t care. Pretending like it doesn’t hurt when all sycophants just treat you like dirt. I can understand how you feel when people inflict wounds that are hard to heal. Chorus Watch out, better beware Watch out, better take care They are out to control they are out to lead On your weakness is what they feed. And then they stand there and watch you bleed. Verse # 2 I can see the sadness in your eyes as they stand there just telling you lies. They think they know what is best for you but in reality they haven’t a clue. They always question your identity with friends like that who needs an enemy. Repeat Chorus Guitar Solo Verse # 3 Don’t throw all your burdens on me I can’t save you I’m not a remedy. Don’t be sorry don’t let them start don’t let anyone take your heart. You just have to fight you have to stay true cause no one else will believe in you. Repeat chorus © 2013 Ton-Up, Inc.

Victim of Circumstance Writer: Eddie Star Verse #1 Can you move through time and space? Into a world another space. Where moments are given back to you. What would you say? What would you do? If this chance were given back to you. What would you do? Chorus One time One Chance Victim of Circumstance. One time One chance Victim of circumstance. Verse #2 Can’t move forward when you’re looking back. Can’t feel strong when you’re under attack. I’ve lived fast and moved too slow. There are so many things I don’t know. What’s it like when your world dies What’s it like when there is nothing left inside. Chorus Guitar Solo Repeat Verse #1 Chorus © 2013 Ton-Up, Inc.

Love is a Four Letter Word Writers: Eddie Star - Kelly Charles Verse #1 Love is a four-letter word Crazy story that I ever heard Love is a cheap motel. It’s a lit cigarette and a fond farewell. Love is a four-letter word Craziest story I ever heard. Chorus Love means till death do us part Then I give you my heart Love means we never say goodbye The day you do I lay down die. Verse #2 Love is a four-letter word Craziest story I ever heard Love means I get back to my wife Thank you baby but I have my normal life. Love is a four-letter word Craziest story I ever heard. Chorus Guitar Solo Repeat chorus twice © 2013 Ton-Up, Inc.

Rejected 03:17
Rejected Writers: Eddie Star - David Spielman - Kelly Charles Intro: Chorus Verse #1 I am poison to your heart The bitter and sweet tares me apart Fatal charm with a sick smile I’ve had my taste of reality for a while Shut me out and put me down I’m in society’s lost and found. Chorus Rejected, infected Rejected, disconnected Rejected, affected Rejected, disrespected Verse #2 Can you look inside of me. Does it scare you what you see Mixed up youth, an aging freak. Emotions drained and I’m feeling weak In this spring time of my life There is nothing but chaos and strife. Chorus Guitar solo Verse #3 I am pleasure I am pain. Life is too short to be mundane. I walk on I walk alone Trying figure this world on my own. A voice is screaming inside of me Saying “this can’t be reality” Repeat chorus twice © 2013 Ton-Up, Inc.

Numb 04:00
Numb Writers: Eddie Star - Anthony Griffith - Calvin Popejoy - Kelly Vaught Verse #1 Mental shutdown I can’t think. If I thought about what’s going on. It would drive me to drink. I just can’t deal with reality I’m not a recluse or naïve. I’m just trying to protect my sanity. Chorus Shot myself with Novocain. My heart and soul are Numb. I can’t feel the pain. Shot myself with Novocain. I feel like I’m going insane. Verse #2 Crime and violence everywhere None of the politicians seem to care. Ask yourself don’t you feel? Or do you deny anything that’s real. Sometimes life can be so strange A revolution is coming I can feel a change. Chorus Guitar solo Verse #3 Every time I turn on the TV news I have to change the channel cause I get the blues I have to be numb I just can’t cope. Sometimes I wonder if there is any hope. Sometimes life can be so strange A revolution is coming I can feel a change. Chorus Ad lib till end. © 2013 Ton-Up, Inc.

2017 02:54
2017 Writers: Eddie Star - Calvin Popejoy Verse #1 You’ve got me caught in your groove. I’m stuck in a file cabinet and I can’t move. You can’t figure out where to place me. Because I don’t have a definite identity. I guess I have a problem with society. But you can’t tell me who I have to be. Chorus I’m 2017 I’m caught in between. I’m not a kid I’m not grown up I’m caught in between Hey man I’m 2017. Verse #2 Put your evil thoughts in my head. Rumors and lies all the crap you said. Go ahead destroy my self-esteem. But you can’t take away my dream. Go and spit out your words of hate. You can’t destroy me it’s too late. Chorus Guitar solo Verse #3 Names, identity, money, social class. All the old rules tied to the past. You can be what ever you want to be. Go and create your reality. Get your evil thoughts out of my head. Forget about everything society has said. Chorus © 2013 Ton-Up, Inc.

Villain 02:38
Villain Words and Music: Eddie Star, Kelly Charles, Renee Jacobs Verse #1 I think you like to start trouble. I think its part of your game. I think the truth is your enemy. There is always someone else to blame. You think the world revolves on your terms. And to me it’s such a shame. Chorus What am I going to do? I just can’t communicate with you. You criticize everything I do Yeah you do. You make me feel like I’m a You make me feel like I’m a You make me feel like I’m a You make me feel like I’m a Villain Verse #2 You don’t have any common sense. To you there is no right or wrong You like to play the victim And say “You just don’t belong” Why is your life my fault You have made your decisions all along. Chorus Guitar Solo Chorus © 2013 Ton-Up, Inc.

Generation Zero Writers: Eddie Star - Kelly Charles Verse #1 Civilization dies it’s all done. No more ideas nothing has won. Corporate control your thoughts are gone. Why don’t they realize what’s going on. A generation of mindless clones. No revolutions to call their own. Wake up, Wake up Wake up, Wake up It’s the blind leading the blind. Chorus Welcome to generation zero. (Repeat four times) Verse #2 Follow every fad and trend. No ideals left to defend. Close your eyes to reality. The media creates your fantasy. Exploit old ideas from the past. The meanings gone nothing moves fast. Repeat chorus Guitar solo Verse #3 Sit and swallow all their lies. Church and state try to disguise. Special interest has their hold. Take the money they have control. The silent majority sits and waits. To be told what to hate. Chorus © 2013 Ton-Up, Inc.
