Ice Age 04:05
Ice Age (Mike Vallely / Matthew Ryan) I’m riding through the endless narrows  Through the snow drifts on the road Out of the seething city With winter in my soul Trophies, accolades, possessions That energy burns you up When you're measured by pain and motion You’re sipping blood from a paper cup It's an ice age It’s an ice age It's an ice age I know On the edge of self-destruction Raise a glass to how far we’ve come If we're on fire and alive The oceans know what’s done is done It’s an ice age It’s an ice age It's an ice age You know Never mind the failures If it be our final bell If this defeat becomes permanent Smile and travel well Through an ice age An ice age It's an ice age We know There’s still music, art and poetry They are my headlights in the freezing rain And if you knew me only as you needed to Just know, you only knew my name In an ice age It’s an ice age It's an ice age We know Never mind the failures If it be our final bell If this defeat becomes permanent Smile and travel well Through an ice age An ice age It's an ice age We know It’s an ice age It’s an ice age It's an ice age I know

Rise Above 04:55
Rise Above (Greg Ginn) Jealous cowards try to control They distort what we say  They try and stop what we do When they can't do it themselves We are tired of your abuse Try to stop us, it's no use Society's arms of control They think they're smart, can't think for themselves They laugh at us behind our backs I find satisfaction in what they lack We are tired of your abuse Try to stop us, it's no use We are tired of your abuse Try to stop us, it's no use We are born with a chance I am going to have my chance We are born with a chance I am going to have my chance We are tired of your abuse Try to stop us, it's no use Rise above We're gonna rise above Rise above We gotta rise above Rise above C’mon let’s rise above Rise above We gotta rise above Rise above We're gonna rise above Rise above C’mon let’s rise above Rise above We're gonna rise above Rise above Let’s rise above Rise above We're gonna rise above Rise above We gotta rise above Rise above C’mon let’s rise above Rise above We gonna rise above

My Girl 02:33
My Girl (Mike Vallely / Matthew Ryan) Don't think for a minute That everything is doom What you are is bigger  It's bigger than this room My girl The future is yours My girl The future is yours I see you now So broke and so uncertain But something else comes After you've been hurtin' My girl The future is yours My girl The future is yours My girl The future is yours My girl The future is yours

My Girl (Demo) (Mike Vallely / Matthew Ryan) Don't think for a minute That everything is doom What you are is bigger  It's bigger than this room My girl The future is yours My girl The future is yours I see you now So broke and so uncertain But something else comes After you've been hurtin' My girl The future is yours My girl The future is yours My girl The future is yours My girl The future is yours
