Chorus
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide

Don’t show your face
And shut your mouth
Just say yes baby
But not too loud
Chorus
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Bill says yeah we’re all gonna to die
You haven’t heard the last of me
You can’t hurt me cause I won’t bleed
Bleed bleed bleed
And when they come
Come for you
And they will
Like they do
They’re going to find you
They’re going to find you
And fuck you up
Left and right
Is it all true
Is it me or is it you
Am I wrong
Or am I right
Tell me now are we all going to die
Nowhere to run
Chorus

SHOOT YOU UP HONEY
Lyrics and Music by Erika Bach
You have nothing to say
Nothing to do
Nothing Nothing Nothing honey
Come on pull up your sleeve
Take one for me
Take it Take it Take it
Come on
Here come the big guns in their army boots
Standing on heads ready to shoot
Waiting at the devils door
No one to love him anymore
Chorus
Every little bit
Every little thing that they say
Makes someone pay
Follow the money honey
It’s easy to find
They won’t stop
Leave anyone behind
Sleeping tigers
Will eat you
If you wake them
If you bait them
They feel nothing
They want the money
They say they love you but they just want to
Shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot you up honey
Do what they say
Agree or be wrong
Truth is poison
Poison honey
I’m under water
Deep in the sea
No one wants to come rescue me
I’m marked with a black stain on my face
I didn’t swallow
I didn’t swallow
Roll up your sleeve
Just do it
Say when
It’s no longer my skin that I’m living in
Chorus
There’s nothing to say
And nothing to do
Just take one for the team yeah
And you’ll be through
You’ll be happy honey
Won’t you
Chorus

NOT GOING TO LIE
Lyrics and Music by Erika Bach
Oh my
I think we’re all about to die
Look through the window it’s dark outside
All the lights out
Find a place to hide
Chorus
I’m not going to lie to you
It sucks
What the world is going through
I’m not going to lie to you
It’s fucked up
What the world is going through
Oh love
Wish there was somebody up above
But there are a thousand satellites
Keeping watch over us tonight
Chorus
Over and out
No escaping fall out
(Nowhere to go)
Don’t run
There’s no running from this one
Oh run
Into the arms of someone
There is no running from the bomb
Everyone’s saying it
They can’t wrong

CONTAGIOUS
Lyrics and Music by Erika Bach
Contagious
You shoot me up with poison
To stop me from making angry noises
You keep me
Keep me under water
Placed inside the circle
Naked wet in shackles
Peel away the surface
Pressure to be cautious
Chorus
Give me something
Give me something I can believe in
Come on
Give me something
Give me something I can believe in
The world is sleep walking without dreaming
Trusting believing without thinking
Give me something
Give me something I can believe in
Contagious
You make me want to leave you
It’s no life to live this way
I’m just not
Just not that courageous
No no no no no no
Love and human kindness
Is my greatest weakness
Now I’m locked outside
At the traffic lights
Chorus

SOON NOW OR NEVER
Lyrics and Music by Erika Bach
Tonight there’s crying in the bloody streets of someone’s somewhere
While big men decide which life will end which life will start
I have a needle deep into the tempol for the poison
For all the children losing fathers who will die tonight
Chorus 1
Wish I could change the world
Erase pain and hurt
Start again the world
Chorus 2
If the world ends soon or now or never
Let me tell you we could all have loved much better
I’m not smart
I’m not even clever
We could all have loved eachother better
What’s right is right
What’s wrong is fine
As long as it hides well in time
If I could I’d take these hands and wipe away the sorrow
Paint some happiness across your deep and burrowed brow
Can’t stop the world from turning
I can’t make blind men to listen
To the whispers
To the warning
To why when and how
Chorus 1

IF WE WAKE UP
Lyrics and Music by Erika Bach
Come on darling
Take my hand
Come this way
We’re all diving into the fire today
Sometimes we fly high
Sometimes we fall down and break
So come on darling
It’s up to us which road we take
Chorus
Down on our knees
We beg for peace
Will come if we wake up
Yes peace will come
If we wake up
We are stronger
But we don’t believe it
Hold on tighter
Show the love like you did
I don’t want to look up into the sky
And wonder when it will rain down goodbye
So I shut out the noises
And the fear that makes me hide
Chorus
It’s 1984 bringing back 1945
It’s 1984 bringing back 1945
Chorus

SICK OF IT
Lyrics and Music by Erika Bach
It feels like the world is on fire
We’re going to burn if it gets much higher
People on top don’t give a damn if it does
People on top don’t give a damn about us
I’m so sick of it all
What is war good for
Make peace with a fistful of hate
No one to save you if it gets too late
There’s not one measure we all fit into
They’ll force the square into the circle if they have to
I’m so sick of it all
What is war good for
Chorus
If they didn’t rule the world
I wouldn’t care what they do
But they’re starting fires
To be put out on you
The lies go around in my head
Can’t hear the truth if it’s force fed
Another gun in the hand of a boy
Grenades and bullets instead of a toy
I’m so sick of it all
What is war good for
Chorus
There’s no tomorrow
Without a yesterday
Listen to what the wise men say
Repeat verse 1
No politician will keep you warm at night
No politician will keep you warm at night
They’ll only break you break you in the cold daylight
No politician will keep you warm at night
No politician will keep you warm at night
They’ll start the fires to let you die in the fight

LOVE
Lyrics and Music by Erika Bach
I look up but I don’t see the sky
Just darkness between you and I
You don’t worry about it all
See Spring even when it’s Fall
Make happiness
Chorus 1
With every
Every beat of my heart
It’s over even before it can start
I’m sorry I can’t tell love apart from pain
I have nothing left to hide
Have swallowed all my pride
An empty shell
You make lies into the truth
You win and never lose
Take all that’s left
Chorus 2
With every
Every step that I take
I fall down
And make the mistake
To give myself over again
For love
Love
Love
Love
Love
Love

IF I MISS
Lyrics and Music by Erika Bach
Love is heavy
Love is heavy
Yeah yeah yeah
I can’t take it
It’s too much for me to bear
You left a hole in
A hole inside my head
Big enough for you to bury all your dead
You left me standing
Here alone
Chorus
I don’t want to jump
Incase I hit too hard
Cause if I miss the target
You know I’ll break apart
When you open
When you open your mouth to speak
I don’t hear you
When your words send me to sleep
We try hard to see the sun
We put powder in the gun
Is it love or is it lust
Is it dirt or is it dust
You left me standing
Here alone
Chorus

NEVER STOP
Lyrics and Music by Erika Bach
I needed good wishes
Instead of dirty dishes
It won’t be much longer
Can hear the roar of thunder
Can’t take it
Been too long now
There’s nothing we can do anyhow
Chorus
Coming up
Coming up over and above
They’ll never stop
They’ll never stop
Coming up
Coming up over and above
They’ll never stop
They’ll never stop
Give love and affection
Don’t give me fear and tension
I’ve had enough
Yeah haven’t you
Succeeded to break the world in two
My warm thighs
Turned to ice
The minute I heard them tell their lies
Chorus
How did we turn back time
Forget all we left behind
Such power in their hands
Full pockets
Empty heads
Chorus
