Come on now, Trouble Child Sit down by the fire Warm up and take a chill Under the moonlit sky We are small under the stars Leave all your woes behind When life starts itchin' Don'tcha come bitchin' Go on dry your eyes Y'know in them waking hours When morning skies are gray Them early birds, they start to sing We're blessed a brand new day Wake up to this world of hurt Go on start a fire When life starts itchin' Don'tcha come bitchin' Your soul can rise no higher When the wind is blowin' south Wipe your tears, remember how To face the day with a furrowed brow Get in the game again Get in the game again The sun is rising on the horizon The autumn breeze will clear your mind Don'tcha cry and don'tcha whine Throw your troubles to the wind Trouble Child Throw your troubles to the wind Trouble Child Throw your troubles to the wind Trouble Child Throw your troubles to the wind One sees great things from the valley Only small things from the peak It's all how you look at it, my Trouble Child Fly with the eagles and find what you seek Stand up with head held high Go on get up your gall Stand up, stare down the sky Keep on walking tall Along the muddy river bank Along your chosen trail When life starts itchin' Don'tcha come bitchin' Your spirit will prevail

Sweet Jane 04:06
lyrics

Standin' on a corner, Suitcase in my hand. Jack's in his car, says to Jane, who's in her vest, Me, babe, I'm in a rock n' roll band. Ridin' in a Stutz Bearcat, Jim, Those were different times. And the poets studied rows of verse, And all the ladies rolled their eyes Sweet Jane, Sweet Jane, Sweet Jane Now, Jack, he is a banker, And Jane, she is a clerk. And the both of them are saving up their money... Then they come home from work. Sittin' by the fire... Radio just played a little classical music for you kids, The march of the wooden soldiers And you can hear Jack say Sweet Jane, Sweet Jane, Sweet Jane Some people like to go out dancing And other people, (like us) they gotta work And there's always some evil mothers They'll tell you life is full of dirt. And the women never really faint, And the villans always blink their eyes. And the children are the only ones who blush. 'Cause life is just to die. But, anyone who has a heart Wouldn't want to turn around and break it And anyone who ever played the part He wouldn't want to turn around and fake it Sweet Jane, Sweet Jane, Sweet Jane

I just want to be with you 'Cuz I'm an escalator, you're an elevator I want you to be there too 'Cuz I'm a sunny day, you're the month of May, hey! I'm a blank card, you're a love letter I'm goin' yard, you're an empty netter Together we make beautiful music I just want to be with you 'Cuz I'm a weight-lifter, you're a shape-shifter I want you to be there too 'Cuz I'm goin' down, you're my lost and found I'm so tired, you're decaffeinated I'm inspired, you're so underrated Together we make beautiful music I just want to be with you 'Cuz I'm like sushi, you're so bougie I want you to be there too 'Cuz I'm, "No hurry," you're, "Me worry?" I'm the road, you're less traveled by I'm a toad, baby, you're a fly by night Together we make beautiful music

Running in the rain Try to catch that train Sky is pouring black But there’s no turning back Oh, go to see that girl And give that girl a whirl And try to make her see What love can really be It makes you feel real fine Heartbeat double time From now to evermore Oh, that’s what love is for And it goes like this First learn to walk and then you run Running in the rain like a loaded gun Facing the facts, you don’t wanna Ride in the storm and you’re gonna Running in the rain, running in the rain Running in the rain Raindrop on your brain Long cool river red Feeling in your head But love is soft and wet Make her glad you met First learn to walk and then you run Running in the rain like a loaded gun Facing the facts, you don’t wanna Finding the truth and you’re gonna Running in the rain, running in the rain

Woke up this morning Couldn't open my eyes Seemed so hopeless Dark outside Misty morning Doesn't seem to be Any sunshine No reprieve But I know things will get better And I know I'll be alright 'Cuz I know I'm not alone in this world I know I'm not alone in this fight New sun rising Hard to open my eyes Never hopeless Inside Soul is shining Brand new day Troubles washed away Blakk Rayne But I know things will get better And I know I'll be alright 'Cuz I know I'm not alone in this world I know I'm not alone in this fight Blackened soul with troubled past Crying in the dark, Blakk Rayne falls so fast Falling down lifts the soul Redemption's coming, Blakk Rayne's distant glow New sun rising Hard to open my eyes Never hopeless Inside Soul is shining Brand new day Troubles washed away Blakk Rayne But I know things will get better And I know I'll be alright 'Cuz I know I'm not alone in this world I know I'm not alone in this fight

Staged Incidents Made to look real Open your eyes You know the deal Follow your leaders to victory In the end, no one is free Make a mockery of how we feel Open your eyes, you know the deal C’mon, c’mon Come for a ride It’s rising higher With every tide You see the images They seem so real In the end What’s really the deal? Hearts are filled With lies and deceit Can we trust The people we meet? One more time We’re ready to go Our voices are heard and We’re ready to blow C’mon, c’mon Come for the ride If it’s right You can decide The rich get richer While we get more poor We’re ready to blow Let’s even the score Staged incidents Images so real Let’s shout it out Tell’em how we feel People fighting Out in the streets Divide and conquer It’s what they want C’mon, c’mon Let’s go for a ride The time is right Let’s put up a fight

about

"Seattle Grunge to Woodstock Royalty" -John Blenn, Rock Journalist

"Staged Incidents" is the highly anticipated debut album from American rock band, MHZ. Shaped by the Long Island Sound, MHZ's sonic styling is in a constant state of flux, heavily influenced by the great music of the late 60's and 70's, but without a doubt drawing from a diverse sonic palette that blends elements of jam, reggae, funk, and punk. MHZ's unique brand of transcendent rock and blues is distinctly crystalized within each gem on this album, inspired by rock heroes like Hendrix and his Band of Gypsys, Zeppelin, and Cream, but also Clutch, Sabbath, The Allman Brothers, Ten Years After, Alice in Chains, and on and on. Formed in March 2012 (as MHZ5), the current MHZ lineup features Rob Cardone on lead vocals/guitar, Brent Hertz on lead guitar/harmonica, Vinny Greco on rhythm guitar/vocals, Chris Yee on bass/vocals, and Ralphie Prisco on drums. Also featured on this album is the MHZ Badass Brass Section- Steve Henry on trumpet and Jessica Torres on alto sax, as well as Raul Anadon on keyboards. Henry composed the horn arrangements. "Staged Incidents" was recorded, mixed, and mastered by world class producer, Mick James (Criss Angel), at Beneath the Sun Recording Studios in Hicksville, NY. It was produced by Mick James and MHZ.

MHZ is pronounced MEGA-F'N-HERTZ!
