WTC: WELCOME TO CONSPIRACY Written, composed & performed by HAYDEN RICHARDS CHORUS: Aint gonna be no Dollars baby They're gonna know your every move They already got your number baby So you better be careful what you do No subconscious, no mind Tell me where's your privacy? Global deception is all you find… Welcome to the conspiracy! VERSE 1: Tick tock goes the clock Time‘s running out, soon it will stop When the day comes and the sun will drop Better hold on to the love you’ve got Lies, deceit, power, control Aint gonna stop ‘till they reach their goal Alot of you believe everything you're told But which one of us is gonna break the mould? Terror attacks, know your facts, Who do you think orchestrated that? They use your fear, every year Take away more liberties you hold dear Somebody once said “They Don’t Care About Us” Be careful of where you put your trust Open your eyes and you will see… Conspiracy! CHORUS VERSE 2: Nobody wants to talk about ‘the industry’ Hiding the truth so vigorously Negative lyrics like a prophecy But I aint gonna let you brainwash me… Little young girls spreading themselves around Like that new video, she really gets down "Do me, Do me baby" is the popular sound But still no unity can be found! I love it too - the bass, the groove But pay attention to what you’re vibzin’ to Listen close you’ll find, the message behind All they wanna do is influence your mind Sex-sex-sex-sex-sex, violence How long will we keep silent? (This is the world now!) Can’t you see!? (It’s the) Conspiracy! CHORUS BRIDGE: As time goes by, We gotta look up to the sky ‘Cos It’s an evil in disguise… Ooh we’re fast asleep, What’s it gonna take for us to wake up, wake up!?

MOTHER & CHILD Composed & performed by HAYDEN RICHARDS Written by HAYDEN RICHARDS & SIMON PEREIRA VERSE 1: Imagine all the damage Imagine all the pain When you left him by the wayside And you locked your heart away Imagine being 8 years old Having nowhere you can call home From the moment you were born You were left out of love When you gave up on him And you sent that boy away Did you feel anything? Or were you numb to all the pain? CHORUS: Mother, Do you know where your son is? It’s been a long time since you’ve seen him last To you he was nothing but a burden, Too much to cope with But all he wanted to be is loved VERSE 2: Was he asking for too much The need for a mothers love To encourage and build him up Guess he was never good enough You made him feel Like he was nothing Worthless and abandoned Broken and abused When you sent your boy away Did you feel anything? Are you immune to all his pain? CHORUS BRIDGE: Do you have any regrets? Can you live with yourself? Do you lose sleep at night When you think of your child Did you ever think to call? Was he ever on your mind? Do you know where he is now? Is that boy even alive CHORUS CHORUS: Mother, Do you know where your son is? It’s been a long time since you’ve seen him last To you he was nothing but a burden, Too much to cope with But all I wanted to be is loved INSTRUMENTAL OUT © 2016 HAR Productions
