Fire Away
Pigfarmer Jr

Your eyes are betraying
What your smile attempts to hide
The mistakes we've been making
And the tears you have cried

You might find love if you're willing to try

Give it your best shot
And fire away
If you love me then don't stop
Say that you'll stay
If you can't give forever
Then give me today
Fire away

I want to hold you
Keep you safe from your fears
I've already told you
That I want to be right here

You might find love if you're willing to try

Give it your best shot
And fire away
If you love me then don't stop
Say that you'll stay
If you can't give forever
Then give me today
Fire away

You're taking aim at my heart
Yeah, you have me in your sights
If the world should all apart
We have each other tonight

Give it your best shot
And fire away
If you love me then don't stop
Say that you'll stay
If you can't give forever
Then give me today
Fire away
Fire away

Twin Snakes Motorcycle Club
(with some melody lifted from Three Little Babes)

I walk the road
I note the signs
I see the run
Record the rise
I see the inner
And the outer sides
I see the space
So I take the time

I hear the truth
Prefer the lies
I know some stories
From before, another time
I hear a crack
What a nice surprise
I see the steam
Begin to rise

When you see the whites of their eyes
Fire away

Stay off the road
Show me a sign
We gotta run
Before they rise
They're closing in
They don't take sides
We needed space, now
We're out of time

Tell me the truth
Enough of the lies
The same old stories
That you tell me every time
The bones'll crack
No big surprise
The wounds'll steam
The steam'll rise

I can see the light's gone out of their eyes
So fire away

There's only so long we can hide
So one last time...

Fire Away
by Brown Word and the Big Whine

Ya walk uphill both ways
"They" talk - both sides of the mouth
Caution - know that it 's a sin
To unveil the revealing
of "truth"
Called - to attention
Appalled if you pay attention
To complete the cycle
"They" kill the apparatus
they call "news"

Oh nooo!

We're back
At the forge again and it's
a win
Building the change we wanna see
in the world
good times good will and friendship
spreading free
in the community

Our music
is part of what makes us tick
There's a little bit of ego
and a whole lotta love
so let's go
Take to the knobs or the mics
Or the fretboards and drums

Fire away
I feel bulletproof and I can
Handle a challenge
Fire away
Look me in the eyes
Don't want to see you despise
Got something to say
Don't let it lay
We can work together for a better way

There'll always be those who don't believe
Don't let them be louder than anyone else!
When we set our mind to a good cause
Anyone can see we mean the best!

Fire away
I feel bulletproof and I know
Don't let it go
It's another day
We can work together for a better way

Fire Away, by Kennebec Manifesto

I get it. I know I’m not the target market but
Who even started this influencer malarkey? it’s
garbage — far-fetched instant basement bargains
Starving artist storage basins for garbled
spoiled gargoyles / has everyone lost their marbles
no wonder at all that we walk around so startled
no wonder at all that we walk around self righteous like
I want to catch the virus and be famous just for being famous
hey — you’ll remember what my name is
the way we behave is shameless and aimless
emaciated and wasted, this train has left the station
I want to leave this draining painful conversation

CHORUS
we sit back, stop thinking, keep scrolling
we stay complacent til the credits come rolling
give us something just to pass the time
Fire it up so we can unwind
Fire away, fire away
give me something just to pass my days while I
Fade away, Fade Away
buried under this ridiculous haze

SECOND
look, you’ve got a bucket full of snake oil, and
fabricated meaningless reels to make the oceans boil
the swill you’re shilling ought to fill my empty life
and fill your bank account at the same time. right?
this is how the whole world turns
this is how the whole world burns
look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me
attention is the currency, transparency the rarity
apparently all sincerity is dead, and
honesty is just another conspiracy in my head
but if the product is free, then we are the
product being sold. and that’s too hefty a fee for me

Chorus

imagine a world without this constant nonsense, this
meaningless content — wouldn’t we be content?
everything is shallow, subscribe, like and follow
and we wonder why we wind up feeling hollow
we know this stuff is fake, we know it isn’t real
but tell me how to think and tell me how to feel
tell me that i’m right, tell me that i’m good
tell me I can do it too, tell me that i should
and all I have to do is simply follow in your footsteps
and buy your course, of course, and give away my self respect
and I can be an influencer too?
i can be like you?
Fire away — all my stupid little thoughts?
Fire away — and watch while the world rots?
fire away — without a single concern, we don’t
need the water let it burn
