[Shoots and Ladders - Official Lyrics]

Ring-a-round-the-rosies.
Pocket full of posies.
Ashes, ashes, we all fall down.
Nursery rhymes are said, verses in my head.
Into my childhood, they're spoon fed
Hidden violence revealed, darkness that seems real.
Look at the pages that cause all this evil.
One, two - buckle my shoe.
Three, four - shut the door.
Five, Six - pick up sticks.
Seven, Eight - lay them straight
London Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down.
London Bridge is falling down my fair lady.
Nursery rhymes are said, verses in my head.
Into my childhood, they're spoon fed.
Hidden violence revealed, darkness that seems real.
Look at the pages that cause all this evil.
Knick-knack paddywhack, give a dog a bone.
This old man came rolling home. 7X
Mary had a little lamb, it's fleece was white as snow.
Baa Baa Black have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full
Mary had a little lamb it's fleece was white as snow
and Mary had a little lamb it ass is white as snow
Ring-a-round-the-rosies.
Pocket full of posies.
Ashes, ashes, we all fall down.
Nursery rhymes are said, verses in my head.
Into my childhood, they're spoon fed.
Hidden violence revealed, darkness that seems real.
Look at the pages that
cause all this evil.
Knick-knack paddywhack, give a dog a bone. X4

[Sober - Official Lyrics]

There's a shadow just behind me,
shrouding every breath I take,
making every promise empty,
pointing every finger at me.
Waiting like a stalking butler
who upon the finger rests.
Murder now the path called "must we"
just before the son has come.
Jesus, won't you fucking whistle
something but the past and done?

Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over.
Why can't we drink forever.
I just want to start things over.

I am just a worthless liar.
I am just an imbecile.
I will only complicate you.
Trust in me and fall as well.
I will find a center in you.
I will chew it up and leave,
I will work to elevate you
just enough to bring you down.

Trust me.

Mother Mary won't you whisper
something but what's past and done.

Trust me.

I want what I want.

Partial Cover of Korn and/or Partial Cover of Tool


The elements performed sound very similar to both Tool and Korn - making it difficult to be absolute of which song it really is a cover of.

After this performance, Billy states "That was our tribute to Pantera" - is this really a cover of Pantera?
