Be There 03:46
lyrics
Well you can say that if you want to I don’t mind I guess it’s too late now As I realised that you were right And I was wrong this time So why do I say these things That you were never meant to hear Well I guess in time The problem will disappear So can you be there for me I could be there for you Because I wasn’t there for you Well you can do that if you want to I don’t care I guess it’s too late now As I realised that maybe I was right for once Why do you do these things That I was never meant to see Well I guess in time The problem will disappear You can beat around the bush If you want to But look around and I’ll be gone And you can say that stupid shit Behind my back And I’ll just put it in this song

Make a Stand 05:13
lyrics
Take a look around All these people with their nose to the ground Unable to see Any other way than living on their knees In a state of fear Not daring to question anything that they here Cut down to size You won’t amount to much unless you’re willing to rise So many people unhappy with the life they’re living You know you’ve got to stand up for what you believe in All this talking won’t ever make a change You know you’ve got to make a stand So get up now Stand up for what you believe in Get up now You know you’ve got to get up now Head in the sand Bending over to take it from the man You’re not hard to beat When all that you can see is what’s in front of your feet Hanging you head Always regretting the things that you left unsaid Dreams for the sky But you’ll never make it ‘til you hold your head up high So get up now Stand up for what you believe in Get up now You know you’ve got to get up now So get up now Stand up and do something about it Get up now You know you’ve got to get up now Get up now Stand up for what you believe in Get up now You know you’ve got to get up now So get up now Stand up and do something about it Get up now You know you’ve got to get up

Lazarus 05:02
lyrics
The thought of you and him pervades my thoughts And I am sick And I am a leper Waiting at your gate But you won’t let me in The whole time I thought you were the good guy The whole time I thought I was in the wrong The whole time I thought I was the bad guy The whole time I thought I was wrong The dark begins to lift and now I see What’s left of me And I have been locked up A prisoner of your words When will you set me free The whole time it seemed to me That we’ve been living in hypocrisy If only you could see All of the things that I could see The open road is all I see It’s not you; it’s me And you are a vessel Broken and cracked through But I can’t be your glue The whole time I thought you were the good guy The whole time I thought I was in the wrong The whole time I thought I was the bad guy The whole time I thought I was in the wrong

Pressure Cooker 05:41
lyrics
Gonna take you to the pressure cooker Gonna find just how long you’ll last You’re not that jumping little lady That you once were in the past Gonna push your body to the limit Taking all the heat that you can take Twist it, shake it, flip it, watch it simmer There ain’t no room to make mistakes Step into the crucible Let those feet roam free Don’t hold yourself back, no But bust it out for all to see Step into the crucible There ain’t no reason to fight Don’t hold yourself back, no It’s time to set this place alight Gonna take you to the pressure cooker It’s time to face the test of time The floor is bouncing to the rhythm You gotta put your moves on the line Don’t work yourself into a frenzy Did you know this fever comes and goes Just make a physical reaction It’s what you do, not what you know

Bokchoy Boys Adelaide, Australia

Three friends with a mutual love of amazing music decided that the world was suffering a deficiency of bok choy. To combat this travesty we combined the forces of piano, bass and drums to bring Bokchoy love to the starving people of Adelaide.
