Credible Threat - By MC Eric B
====================
We're all in a prison
of secrets and lies
good verses evil
makes us despise
Haunted by memories
of a lost Vietnam
we do what we can
to stop the bomb
The fate of the world
that scary red button
millions of lives gone
like they were nothing
Chorus
=======================
Terror alert
a credible threat
do we learn from our past
or just try to forget?
=======================
United we stand
under the clock of doom
controlled by a man
in a big oval room
How many will die
for us to be free?
nothing seems real
when its overseas
Wandering the desert
by the dawns early light
truth and justice
get lost in the fight
Over the horizon
come the guns of war
the blood of a country
lets the eagle soar
Chorus
=======================
Terror alert
a credible threat
do we learn from our past
or just try to forget?
Terror alert
Terror alert
a credible threat
is it a credible threat?
=======================

When I woke up you were gone
And I knew it was the end
I was strung out in a land
Oh, who knows where I've been
Well, they said they found you here
Cold and facedown in the sand
I coughed up lots of blood
And I knew the end was near
Turn it up
Go ahead and burn it all
Just turn it up
Turn it up
Sometimes it just hurts to fall
Just burn it up
Wore a mask, hid from the heat
'Cause I knew it wasn't true
Felt safe away from them
Alone with no beliefs
Saw your face on the TV
Felt the threat creep back again
Took a long trip out of here
Always running from something

Credible Threat - By Andrew Reist
I'm pretty sure we've been walking a while now
Will you come here and sit with me
I'm starting to wonder if I'm your style now
And I'm thinking that you'll agree
That all of this time
When you're tearing me apart
Did I want any of this
No I just wanted out
You've been a credible threat to my happiness
For all of these years
And it's taken me so long
To sing a different song
You never wanted for my tongue to break it down
But I've got to tell you honestly right here and now
I don't think I can handle this foolishness any longer
I'm sorry I'm sorry but I've got to go
And all of this time
When you're tearing me apart
Did I want any of this
No I just wanted out
You've been a credible threat to my happiness
For all of these years
And it's taken me so long
To sing a different song
You're more trouble to me than you're worth
And I thought you might like me to say
That I'd loved you right from birth
But I wish that you'd just go away
And all of this time
When you're tearing me apart
Did I want any of this
No I just wanted out
You've been a credible threat to my happiness
For all of these years
And it's taken me so long
To sing a different song
I can tell
We'll get out of here somehow
But for now
We'll just wonder how we fell down
I can tell
We'll get out of here somehow
But for now
We'll just wonder how we fell
I'm pretty sure we've been walking a while now
Will you come here and sit with me
I'm starting to wonder if I'm your style now
And I'm thinking that you'll agree

Credible Threat by Jon Eric
An airplane is stalled out on the tarmac
The pilot doesn't know what else to do
The CIA is looking for the culprit
With all their fingers pointing straight at you
They stormed our house while we were entertaining
And now my place is crawling with the feds
You always were a credible threat to them
And pretty soon you're gonna wind up dead
A trooper pulled me over on the highway
Even though this time I wasn't drunk
He had a lot of interesting questions
I didn't know your files were in my trunk
Of course he took me in to ask some questions
And then of course you chose to disappear
You never were a credible threat to me
But then again, I guess that's why I'm here
