CHORUS:
This is the house that Jack built
And Gavin burnt it down
This was the house that Jack built
They watched it burn to the ground
No one saw it coming
No one knew what to do
VERSE 1:
They cut down the forest
And built a house on the sand
Made sand into windows
And tried to live on the land
PRE CHORUS 1:
They locked all their windows
And shut all their doors
To keep all the mobs out
They slept on the floor
VERSE 2:
They looked out their windows
And saw the mobs gather around
Some zombies and spiders
And skeletons knocking doors down
PRE CHORUS 2:
They banded together
And drew wooden swords
They waited for daylight
To at-tack the hoard
With victory behind them
They gathered supplies
And stored things inside which
In hindsight's unwise

VERSE 1:
I raise my voice
My cords are burning like fire
I take my volume up higher
And rage on like a hurricane's son
I raise my voice
I shake the walls when I shout
No chance of hearing you out
PRE CHORUS 1:
You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.
But I'm pretty entertaining.
SON OF A BITCH!
Son of a bitch!
My hands are balled in a fist
Just as I start to get pissed
And I raise my voice at this game
Son of a bitch
I smash the desk with my feet
A victory would be sweet
Pre Chorus 2:
When angry count to four When very angry, swear
CHORUS:
C'mon c'mon is this brains over brawn?
C'mon c'mon raging online until the dawn
C'mon c'mon where did that come from?!
Before you lie down
Wake up the whole town

Across The World
04:08
|

VERSE 1:
So you'll get a trillion dollars, but you talk in made up words
When [you're] filming in slow motion, you can use the rule of thirds
[You have a] secret identity, but we all know who you are
Eating cheezos, milk and hurling in Immersion's racing car.
VERSE 2:
You have an A grade snoz, it is one for the ages
You like betting with Michael, and/but he takes all of your wages
You have your own vocabulary, most of us are stumped
But when you say your sentences, we're almost always pumped
VERSE 3:
You're a credit to your country, or at least in terms of fun
Your resume reads of all the unco things you've done
There is no way we could imagine the team without you there
You add a new dimension and take us nearly anywhere
PRE CHORUS 1:
You're having bevs with all the lads
Talking about the latest wags
They haven't got a clue what you are on about
PRE 2 CHORUS 2:
You're having bevs with all the lads
Then you get hit in the nads
Why would you hit a guy in the nads, with an egg?
CHORUS:
Gavin Free's making sense to me
And the logical conclusion is in front of me
Let's get to know your anatomy
Especially the part of you that we don't see on screen
BRIDGE:
Flew across the world
To entertain us all

Technical Difficulties
03:32
|
|||
VERSE 1:
Some days things go your way
Some days just don't
Sometimes things go ok
Sometimes things just won't
PRE CHORUS 1:
When the capture drops and picture fails
When the connection is slow as snails
When your audio is lost in space
Back track your steps and just retrace
VERSE 2:
All these games that we play
All these things we do
So much of what we say
Is what we give to you
PRE CHORUS 2:
When our tempers flare and chairs are flipped
When it's awkward talk or mouths are zipped
When we for-get to push our record
Maybe something new is our reward
CHORUS:
Nothing ever goes as smooth as we all hope it will
But we laugh it off, and just it's how we cope with it
Most of what we do is just a fluke and we'll admit
That's just how it is so we all laugh and go with it

X-Ray & Vav
03:04
|
|||
VERSE 1:
In the deepest darkest regions
Of the deepest darkest cave
You can find a super duo
Trying to find someone to save
Vav & X-Ray costumes are hanging in the wings
Waiting for a reason to don their super things
VERSE 2:
In the tighest brightest costumes
In this lovely Texas state
You can find our super duo
Just about to take the stage [AWAY]
RTX is starting they better get there quick
Looking at their package, they make each other sick
CHORUS:
Ladies please, try to contain yourselves
They may be heroes, but they are just still themselves
BRIDGE:
On, and on
The lines go
On, and on and on and on...
And maybe they can save us
Cause our boredom was ours all along
C'mon boys, show us the ropes

X-Ray & Vav Epilogue

These guys, nice tights
I won't deny it, I can't deny
A bad guy, he must rise
But only in the reprise

Flynt Coal
03:24
|
|||
VERSE 1:
His name is Flynt Coal
He's not a half, he is a whole
Got more dirt than a digging mole
Lives on his own at the North Pole
Puts the mine into mineral
Multiple into several
Got more swag than anyone
Call him if you want things done
VERSE 2:
His name is Flynt Coal
Also known as Mission Control
He is a man with extra soul
He doesn't walk, he always strolls
If he bleeds it's bourbon sauce
He calls tails in a coin toss
Bets more on the underdog
Kissed a girl and got a frog
CHORUS:
Flynt Coal, Flynt Coal
A man unstop-a-able
Flynt Coal, Flynt Coal
Flynt Coal x2
Legend inseparable
Flynt Coal, Flynt Coal, Flynt Coal

The Mad King
03:18
|
|||
VERSE 1:
Madman, crazy, call me insane
I've got brilliant ideas bouncing round my brain
They impune my honour and they say my name
"He's the mad king" is what they say
Well they're pretty spot on
They're pretty much right
Keeping friends so close
keeping things up tight
But I'm not mad, no I'm so sane
It's the rest of the world that's off its chain
CHORUS:
He's a bringer of comedy
Repeated over every week
He's a logical devotee
Explaining things to Gavin Free
I can barely remember when
The lets play didn't in-clude him
He's the maddest of all the kings
But that became his trademark thing
That became his trademark thing
VERSE 2:
When I am the king the whole game moves
To weird requests to do with hooves
And vague statements about things to do
To gain a gold block or a bowl of stew
Let me be clear, I deserve this crown
Dug up miles of earth deep below the ground
Spent a day or two cutting y'all down
Speaking proper words, using verbs and nouns
Let me be clear, I deserve this crown
Up standing citizen in Achievement Town
I live in Kung Foo house hanging out with a cow
I'm the Mad King and I'm ruling now
BRIDGE:
If all the kings
In all the land
Could ever make him sane again
His baby brain
Would just kick in
Cause Ryan's wants to ruin things

I'm Sorry, Jack
03:42
|
|||
VERSE 1:
I'm sorry Jack
I couldn't write you a song
I just don't know where you are going
Or where you have come from
You're good a Trials
And Geoff makes fun of you
When in Minecraft, you like building stairs
And are impartial to some brew
CHORUS:
Change the catchphrase
Change the man
I'm sure understand
Change of weather
Change of plan
You've seen it all first hand
VERSE 2:
I'm sorry Jack
If this song seems kinda lame
It's a series of connect thoughts
From the corners of my brain

X-Ray & Vav Reprise
01:03
|
|||
These guys are good guys
A villain rises, he's on the rise
A bad guy, he's not nice
He hates surprises, but he'll surprise
He's no one, and nowhere
But everything and he's everyone
He's no one, and nowhere
But everything and he's everyone
