- The band's motto
- I just had the idea of putting on multiple hands on a guitar for a long time, and I just didn't have the right song, and when I heard the song, I said "That's the one that it has to be." I didn't have any idea it was going to turn out like that, but I'm glad we chose it. … It's an awesome song.

It will complete the groove.

There's no worries on the earth tonight
We're all walkin' off the world tonight.Come on now everyone yeah
Come on now everyone
We're like a locomotive
Under the big hot sun
We're chained to the gang of rhythm
The song is never done
Come on now everyone yeah
Come on now everyone
Come on everyone.- "Gang of Rhythm"
- We got this melody
Bring in the harmony like CSNY
To write a tune you know will never die.- "Gang of Rhythm"
- And when the night is done
These chains will hold us strong
The chords will carry on
Long after we're gone… oh… oh…- "Gang of Rhythm"
Rule The World (2015)
[edit]
To carry on, to carry on …
I say I rule the world.
Don't cloud my vision
I'm telling you — not today
'Cause I'm seeing straight.
Made my decision.
Made it through the shades of grey,
Made it my own way.I materialize the feeling
To carry on, to carry on
I know some would say I'm dreaming
But I carry on, I carry on, on.
They say "no way", well, I say "I rule the world."
Ain't afraid of the walls, Imma break 'em down.
They stay the same — well I'm feelin' high as a bird.
Ain't afraid of the ground — I'm a standing.I say yeah, yeah, yeah, they say no, no, no,
they say slow, slow, slow, I say go, go, go —
They say "no way"
I say I rule the world.
- I've chased illusion
And I watched them fade to black
Throwing me off-track.
Found Revolution.
Found it in a simple fact.
I ain't coming back.
