Leicester Square lyrics


Rancid


I saw an old man on the street he was in a dumpster lookin for somethin to
Eat he moved so slow like a dyin dream like a machinist who got caught in
The machine I saw this lady and she was cryin she said its hard when someone
You love is dyin I saw this kid who was about 5 years old he was in the park
All alone he was cold theres something coming around as wicked as it may seem
As wicked as anything could be I know this girl shes barely alive shes all
Haggard shes only twenty-five she said she never had a friend before I said
hey girl Ill be your friend but whos keepin score I saw this other little
Girl on the phone her mother comforts her from far from home the little girl
Was very hesitant her best friend lie dead on the pavement I always end up
Back on the hill lookin down at the landfill I always go there when I can my
Friend marty said tim youre a lucky man

Are you gonna be ready to use it
If you hesitate theyll pursue it
Put the gun to the dome no question
Now the holy ghost in queston

What about the banks
When they say go
Standing at the top and cant let go
Standin cant take cant take that time
When I try sometime I cant stay high

Are you gonna be ready to use it
If you hesitate theyll pursue it
Good and evil erme from above
Death peace eternal love

Bleeding at the gates and I cant come in
Courage that abates a life of sin
Sure that it holds and it holds no others
With the lies of the brave and the kid dont matter

You need to straighten your posture and suck in your gut.
You need to pull back your shoulders and tighten your butt.
Yeah, come comanche, comanche, comanche, commode.
If you want to have cities, youve got to build roads.

You need to find some new feathers and buy some new clothes.
Just get rid of the antlers and lighten your load.
Yeah, come comanche, comanche, comanche, commode.
Yeah, if you want to have cities, youve got to build roads.

You need to straighten your posture and suck in your gut.
You need to pull back your shoulders and tighten your butt.
Yeah, come comanche, comanche, comanche, commode.
Ah, if you want to have cities,
Yeah, if you want to have cities,
No, if you want to have cities,
Youve got to build roads.

Small sacrifices or otherwise few
Unity for the sake of the many forms
Oh they use imagination only few can go
Touch of madness only few ever know
Well you can go on your way
Or you can stagger through hell
You can lie on your back
Or you can stand up tall
In a state of confusion
Got nothing to do
I was connected respected
Watching you make it through
And all this rhetoric
They tell me to sing along
They said that you were dying
But I know that they were wrong
Second generation melting pot
You're ripped apart but you're never done
There she goes
It's all right
Nothing to do
Waste your time
And all this rhetoric
They tell me to sing along
They said that you were dying
But I know that they were wrong
Well you can go on your way
Or you can stagger through hell
Or you can lie on your back
Or you can stand up tall
State of confusion
You got nothing to do
Connected respected
I'll watch you make it through
And all this rhetoric
They tell me to sing along
They said that you were dying
But I know that they were wrong

Set out to mislead, sets out to murder
False appearance is everything to him
Is he good today or is he evil
In a violent craze, spewing words of madness
It can go either way, you never know
Conditioned to deceive and that's how he likes it
With all the guns going off, who can say no to the guy
Watch out, who's fuckin' next
'Cause Loki's playin' tricks again
Loki's playin' tricks again
x3

Rwanda, oh you're moon shines bright
Rwanda, overplanned genocide
Rwanda, oh won't you be strong
Yeah, like a lion
Tune in the transistor and listen to the news
'Cause once a week it hits your heart broken and blue
It's the voice over Africa, so stop peregrination
Listen very closely to a half a million dead souls
It's complicated when facts come slow
Massdestruction, massconfusion
What's the difference to the orphan, orphan of the dead
When no more machine gun's striking and there's silence instead

[Originally by NOFX]
Talkin' 'bout the Moron Bros., tattoed fingers tattoed toes.
They're idiots, they're losers, they're scum.
Yeah they'll take advantage of everyone.
You're a dog, they're your fleas.
Yeah they'll do anything just to spread disease.
Drink your beer, take your drugs.
They will leave you with microscopic bugs.
Their company you surely won't miss,
when your ashtrays are filled with piss.
Talkin' 'bout the Moron Bros., tattoed fingers tattoed toes.
They'll whine, they'll bitch,
they'll fuck you if your rich.
They'll leach they'll latch,
they're like an itch you can't scratch.
They are the Moron Brothers,
don't get along with others.
They are teh Moron Brothers,
don't get along with others.
Yeah, they may not go down in history.
But they'll go down on your sister.

Yeeeeeah, all you motherfuckers, criminals will be suckers,
If you don't step aside for David Courtney,
Well, all you motherfuckers, criminals will be suckers,
If you don't step aside for David Courtney!

If you're feelin' bold,
And you must be told,
You'll feel a whack up on your back,
And up the dust is made of gold,
If you do the job,
Loyal to the mob,
You'll be sorted and rewarded, south of France, in the sun
But if you pay your debt, you won't be dead,
Please take me up on my advice!
Cuz vengeance will be delivered door to door,
And right on time.....

Yeah, all you motherfuckers, criminals will be suckers,
If you don't step aside for David Courtney,
Well, all you motherfuckers, criminals will be suckers,
If you don't step aside for David Courtney!

Cuban cigars,
Silver Jaguars,
Brand-new suits are filled with loot, he's looking wicked and astute
Make no bones, he says,
Feelings then there is,
He's a legend in the underworld and an up to the poor,
Well, if you pay your debt, you won't be dead,
Please take me up on my advice!
Because vengeance will be delivered door to door,
And right on time....

Well, all you motherfuckers, criminals will be suckers,
If you don't step aside for David Courtney,
Well, all you motherfuckers, criminals will be suckers,
If you don't step aside for David Courtney!

Tim talking: Listen up all you skaghead, sewer rats, gangsters,
Villains and whores, the dark figures from the shadows,
Crept up from behind, where they brandished a gun,
Pointed directly at his face,
And they shuddered at the sight when the words were spoken,
"Go ahead, son, but you're making a big mistake,"
As the clueless of the night reflected off the cobblestone roads,
And silence took over, he said:
"Do you know who the fuck I am?"

Yeeeeeah, all you motherfuckers, criminals will be suckers,
If you don't step aside for David Courtney,
Well, all you motherfuckers, criminals will be suckers,
If you don't step aside for David Courtney!

I can tell you how it'll go down
But only you can tell me how it'll end
All systems can stop right here
And all we are is pretend
So many things can be a mystery
And all we are seekin' is freedom
We realize Mr. Reality
I'm gonna be there to greet him
It's alright
It's quite alright with me
When ignorance manifests like that
It's hard to stop
Underdeveloped: don't lose your balance
And then take a divine drop
And if you find my name in regards to danger
I urge you all to take heed
Causation, the end of the world
Will set me free
And that's alright
It's quite alright with me
Yeah, with me

Yeah were on/rhymmes ? ? ? imagine that
All punk rock must move inside, all ? ? ? must move inside.
Come out to brooklyn town and coyote studios ? ? ?

(repea 2x)
London youre gonna find them
New york, l.a., back to kingston
All I see is youth fighting
All I see is youth fighting

Well, in sympathy, theres some
Integrity, but in
Humility Ive come to find a whole lot more

Im not one to judge, nor i
Carry a grudge, but i
Refuse to budge my determinating vow

Come I said put down your ratchet now
Rudeboy set down your gun
L.a., kingston, new york and london
Move, nobody fight, form together as one
This gun pressure soon be over and done

? ? ? the road controlled by satan
Fight back from that with love vibration
Pull out, division, racism, and schism
We gonna make em flee, run

Easy, you know it aint easy
Got to make a decision
Got to learn to say no, no, no...

I burn from inside all the walls
A dead man cant hear all the calls
Who lives like a sheep in the city concrete
Never runs deep and dies from the heat

Coppers and hoods, dead mans stood
It aint no good when youre misunderstood
When youre rotting in jail, wish you would be
Out on the street like robin hood

All those who fall, those who try
Let them go, oh victimize
You see you aint gonna take their power, demise
Not in your lifetime see more hypnotized, come again

London youre gonna find them (london town)
New york, l.a., back to kingston (waterhouse)
All I see is youth fighting (youth them all they fight)
All I see is youth fighting (youth them all they fight)

London youre gonna find them (brixton)
New york, l.a., back to kingston (kingston, ja)
All I see is youth fighting (youth them all they fight)
All I see is youth fighting (youth them all they fight)

Come I said put down your ratchet now
Rudeboy set down your gun
L.a., kingston, new york and london
Move, nobody fight, form together as one

Fight back from that with love vibration
Pull out, division, racism, and schism

I burn from inside all the walls
A dead man cant hear all the calls
Who lives like a sheep in the city concrete
Never runs deep and dies from the heat

Heat... heat... heat...heat...

(repeat 4x.)
London youre gonna find them (london town)
New york, l.a., back to kingston (kingston, ja)
All I see is youth fighting (youth them all they fight)
All I see is youth fighting (youth them all they fight)

All I see is you/youth fighting
All I see is you/youth fighting
All I see is you/youth fighting...

Track Falls, You gonna be warned
You gonna be scorn, You gonna be torn
There's a storm, hittin' your home, not a false alarm but a real one
Can't trick it,well its wicked, just to get picket lines crakin
If you like it, don't fight it, just hold it, then light it
Head straight to the killing zone, Now the war is on
Head straight to the killing zone, now the war is on, hold on to yours or we're all gone
Head straight to the killing zone, Now the war is on
Head straight to the killing zone, now the war is on, hold on to yours or we're all gone
All the night its a constant run, if you're the one, well now you're bombed
Sail on, Mr. Don Juan, got a shot gun, hits the marksmen
Complex thoughts here, it dont end here
if you can have war there, just go patrol there
Without a care here, you should just see there
Start a war there, cross the boarders
Head straight to the killing zone, Now the war is on
Head straight to the killing zone, now the war is on, hold on to yours or we're all gone
Head straight to the killing zone, Now the war is on
Head straight to the killing zone, now the war is on, hold on to yours or we're all gone
[x2] Head straight to the killing zone, Now the war zone
Head straight to the killing zone, now the war zone, hold on to yours or we're all gone
Head straight to the killing zone, Now the war zone
Head straight to the killing zone, now the war zone, hold on to yours or we're all gone

War between races
War between lies
War between something that was deep inside
You was wrong all along
I was right you lied
U to the n to the ity
Straight down too late can it kick the feeling
Looking from the bottom I cant see the ceiling
Shots rang out in the oakland winter
Cant stand alone you cant stand together

As one, as one, as one

No matter what they do theyll try to divide you
Fear you up whats inside you way down down down
The scale hook the anchor to the gates of hell
Once you realize that it was so simple
What you given you cant take with you
I asked somebody if if they had the same vision
He said yeah I had the same vision

The common man doesnt suffer pain like this only the soul that has never been
Kissed let us adore our beautiful son hes ridin on the river of babylon
Bootin up, shootin up bring on the brightness see the son of God is comin
Up and I see a likeness internalize the lunacy of the misery is showin when
Youre brought up youre caught up in a system thats goin no one answers no
One takes that call from you junkyman tell me what your story is... water i
Despise some parents house is on fire slowly the house gonna burn to the
Ground the naighborhood will watch will someone be a witness please tell me
That hes crazy but hes not and they know that and they cant get him cause
Hes not crazy beat lock him knock him take him away his authority hit em,
Ship em, club em submitted conformity my hand went blind clairvoyant I make
Love to my trance sister my trance sister went on and my trance parents see
From the balcony I looked out on the big field it opens like the cover of an
Old brief and out come the wolves their plans trampling the snow the asphalt
I stand on my head and watch it all go away, bootin up, shootin up bring
On the brightness see the son of God is comin up and theres a likeness
Internalize the lunacy the misery is showin when your brough up and caught up
In a system that is goin

Look up youre in cleveland again a solid line that never ends Ive got
Stories youll never realize and I know it I wear it on my sleeve there must
Be somethin about you that I liked but right here in the rain you know it
Just dont seem right I always go out I never hide but in cleveland I should
Have stayed inside good morning heartache your like an old friend come and see
Me again testify my love for you I know it runs deep through your body too
From the cold blacktop to the hot concrete the old tan van it aint so sweet
Somewhere in america in the city at night we were far from home but you know
It was gonna be alright the unfortunate get prayed on by vultures eyes 86
Cents in these pockets of mine

I didnt know what time it was until the sun went down
Detroit mild on the bus downtown
Last night I was fighting on the street
But tonight I have a girl next to me in this cold world
She brings me heat

I got a good feeling in a bad city tonight
I gotta good feeling everythings gonna be alright
Some run some fight
I got a good feeling in a bad city tonight

Detained in illegal custody spent the night in jail
With a drunken priest and a hooker $500 bail
Nobody knew who was who standing in the street like that
I hit the ground to make a sound

I got a good feeling in a bad city tonight
I gotta good feeling everythings gonna be alright
Some run some fight
I got a good feeling in a bad city tonight

Bus droped me off and I had to cough I couldnt breath
cuz I got ripped off I couldnt realize by being satisfied cause it runs so thin
And thats why Im pissed off we had no money we had time
She had the champagne I had the cisco wine
She said do you want to come you better hurry because
Well have hell to pay

Pick me back up just to throw me back down
Apoogies too like when youre up against the wall
Compassion heals while duplicity kills
You say Im different the only thing different is

The way I feel about you
Na na na na na na na na na na

You moved up the ladder at a very rapid speed
We moved methodically
And calmly when you got to the top you see enemies

If I knew back then what I know that
It would all turn out like this
Id sit back and Id watch you squirm
Cause you say Im different

The only thing different is
The way I feel about you.....

Go!
Go!
Go!

Walk into the party, didn't know who you are,
Said quick quick on the living room floor,
All I know is about three fucking chords,
Drumkit, bass, and electric guitar.

We're headed out to another show,
Don't know which way it's gonna go,
Don't even think about it,
Don't even care,
When the roadblock's in the way, we're gonna run around it,
When the stop sign's in the way, we're gonna run through it all right,
All right,
When all the punks come out tonight!

Go to work, go to school, get a fucking job,
Sit at home like a fucking slob,
I prowl the street like I'm the fucking law,
All too crazy, tripped and crawl,
Depression can't cut me out of the music,
So I choose it,
I use it,
I won't fucking lose it!

We're headed out to another show,
Don't know which way it's gonna go,
Don't even think about it,
Don't even care,
When the roadblock's in the way, we're gonna run around it,
When the stop sign's in the way, we're gonna run through it all right,
All right,
When all the punks come out tonight!

We're not fucking around,
We're not fucking around,
We're not fucking around,
We're not fucking around!

We're headed out to another show,
Don't know which way it's gonna go,
Don't even think about it,
Don't even care,
When the roadblock's in the way, we're gonna run around it,
When the stop sign's in the way, we're gonna run through it all right,
All right,
When all the punks come out tonight!
Tonight!
Tonight!
Tonight!


If you wanna make a move then you better come in
Its just the ability to reason that wears so thin
Living and dying and the stories that are true
The secret to a good life is knowing when your through...

...before she died
I bit the bullet on a motorcycle ride

...if you wanna make a move then you better come in
Its just the ability to reason that wears so thin
If you wanna make a move then you better come in
Its just the ability to reason that wears so thin

...before she died
I bit the bullet on a motorcycle ride

This is not Churchhill downs this is not Hollywood Park
When the field is wide open
I'll pick the horse that's got the biggest heart
Let em run let em ride let em roll down the track
Let em win place and show
Let em one dollar exact
Six furlongs four phillys
Three mares three years and up
Who measures up
Well I wish you luck
Who measures up
Well I wish you luck
This is not Churchhill downs this is not Hollywood Park
When the field is wide open
I'll pick the horse that's got the biggest heart
Well they rush the windows and play odds on fave
(But the)My starter in 2nd deuces down a bit of give and take
Race is a puzzler when they open from the outside
It's a hit and run and they look back
You can't count on that
That's a fact
The old men from El Cerrito
Who talk about their picks
And they talk about all the wins of the great jock leftgit Pincay
This is not Churchhill downs this is not Hollywood Park
When the field is wide open
I'll pick the horse that's got the biggest heart
Every time i come back to the east bay i run into "big L"
My old friend Big L he's not doing so well
Me and Big L grew up across the freeway from the track
WE spent may days at the track
I see Big L come rollin up the street
On his little sister's pink ten speed
He said "Tim, Tim don't you remember me?"
"way back from 1973?"
Every time i se him he has to remind me
Like i would ever forget Big L
Then he's gone
Like a flash
Then he's gone
Like a flash
yeah like a flash
Ok this is rancid signing off for now
until next time we'll see you guys later...

Ah no!
No no!
Go!!!

With a gleaming success
With a different try
Religious indifference
Mixed between the lies/lines

Territorial company they legitimize
Persecution to form enterprise
The un is called
To buffer it all

The problem is spreading international
Like irelands belfast its coming to be
A brand new key

Working class girl puts her money to the test... yeah
Shes got a new dress
Shes gonna look her best
Yugoslavias been blown to bits... yeah
Shes got a new dress
Shes lookin to the west

Well entertain the idea of a peaceful end
? ? ? takes all ? ? ? (? ? ? some things slow down to the used-to-been ? ? ? )
Of a world which is seen the citizens die
While the innocent children play near fire now

When Im not getting through, and see evidence
Another truth, were bombing us
The time for civil war is the sooner I live
The chivalrous ones are never represented

Working class girl puts her money to the test... yeah
Shes got a new dress
Shes gonna look her best
Yugoslavias been blown to bits... yeah
Shes got a new dress
Shes lookin to the west

Allocating people for ? ? ?
The methods of the summons are dastardly
Try to cleanse the hands of the murdering
But the advantage of guilt is lingering

Shadows of soldier lay nearby
The dead ones finally reach a compromise
Destruction of war lies in bosnia
The destruction of war lies in bosnia

Shes a salvador immigrant, head through a thin wall
A frail hooker, holding her carnal walls
Gleaming sky scraper bunker he looked down
Laugh hysterically and then he spread around

On hoover street, then he must be alone
The precious little, the kid cashed/cast the woes
Of a ? ? ? girl she kind of made you spill
Her brother mario got shot 4 times in da head

Now see poor mario, he caught a hot one
Through the lung, now hes done so God bless the man
And the cocaine moves too fast through their system
Like a river forever winding
To the last party of the under/loner class

? ? ? distance just a bunch of kids who dont wanna finish last
Now see the market place has changed the weight of the scale
You either get out and die or go to jail
And your best intentions splinter and frail/fail
And a few weeks of promises and attempts fail

Its a glass-pipe murder
Glass-pipe murder
Oh yeah

Glass-pipe murder
Its a glass-pipe murder
Oh yeah!!!

(oh yeah!!!)
(oh yeah!!!)
(oh yeah!!!)

They kick a bottle of beer and a letter
Simple (sip of? ) things made mario feel better
You see it falls on you and it falls on me
Self-annihilation, catastrophe

Two packs of cigarettes
For two dollars and seventy cents and a
Bottle of wine thats been opened
And he said, why do I do this?

A shiver through his body like a bottle of cc
Not encouraging reality or me
He said, its who I am baby, back to it.
Off the deep end the record changed

You see, no one stood up and cheered for him
Everyone sat down with something that happened
Began... to happen
Its an old school dorm mystery
And the handcuffs bleed...

Its a glass-pipe murder
Glass-pipe murder
Oh yeah

Glass-pipe murder
Its a glass-pipe murder
Oh yeah!!!

(oh yeah!!!)
(oh yeah!!!)
(oh yeah!!!)

Who was the killer? ... its in the...

Come into the union district
Drive down on sharmon palms
White ghettos paint a picture
Broken homes and broken bones
I was so full of scotch I could not stand up
I was hittin the shots and I moved to a cup
Release me from moral assumption
Total rejection total destruction
Nihilistic feelings are moving if I try real hard
Ill see right through them

Nihilism!

Walkin a path of self destruction
Not affected by the repercussions
Lady on the billboard offer me a drink
Said not right now I need time to think
Nihilistic feelins are movin
If you try real hard
Youll see right through them

I was so full of scotch I could not stand up
I was hittin the shots and I moved to a cup
White ghettos paint a picture
Broken homes and broken bones

The ending isnt here somethin wrong but its comin real soon I lock step
Im gone I said the feeling isnt fear theres something wrong its just
Telling you to move I lock step Im gone a fire on the corner and its never
Gonna stop killer in the neighborhood never got caught I lock up my door step
Out and Im gone waitin for the buses but the buses wont come all the docks
Are quiet theres somethin wrong and theres no ships comin in I lock step
Im gone where there once was a riot theres somethin wrong theres a whole
Lot of nothin lock step Im gone the stop signs broken and the meters goin
Down wild dogs are runnin themselves into the ground everything was clear for
That moment in time if I dont come back well throw me a line well the docks
Are quiet something wrong and theres no ships comin in I lock step Im gone
Where there once was a riot theres a whole lot of nothin.......

I want your salvation

Theres a neighborhood called blackhawk
Where all the rich people hide
I was down on my luck working for the salvation army
The shelter is where I reside
Everyday we drive into blackhawk
And we pick up the offerings
Microwave, refrigerator for the suffering

Come on baby wont you show me what you got

Blood that spills of all the guts that fly the media paints a picture that
Stands pits dogs against cats now who is responsible the power in the issue
The force is unstoppable

The phenomena you are about to witness
Could well revolutionize your way of thinking
We are presenting startling facts and evidence
That take up where explanations leave off

Some of these revelations will very well go against things you have been taught
And perhaps believed all your life
Prepare yourself for the evidence that will follow...

Hangin out with lars on 6th street he knew I was in trouble I was feeling
Much like the devil there was something burnin deep inside of me ran into
Three puerto ricans these girls took us to the funhouse where we played a
Lonely pinball machine hangin on the corner of 52nd and broadway cars passin
By but none of them seem to be goin my way new york city well I wish I was on
A highway back to olympia...Im having a hard time understanding it gets all
Too demanding shes all gone and Im stranded something burning deep inside of
Me all I know its 4oclock and she aint never showed up and I watched a
Thousand people go home from work how many times will it take me before I go
Crazy before I lose everything something burning deep inside of me ran into
Three puerto ricans those girls took us to the funhouse I dont wanna be alone
Again.

Like sand, just take your dreams away
Running on the ground
At the end of the day its your life, your loss
If you cant get the clock around

I said what I got you can have ? ? ?
You better not miss a shot
Youre letting yourself get into all kinds of danger
Soon enough youre gonna get caught

They had a feeling
Was like you had to prove youre one in a million
And Im talking bout junkies been dealing
This time the drugs are you
And theyll come through
It aint gonna stop til they get what they want

And I say
Nobody knows me, Im all alone
Ah yayayayay I gotta go
Its a hollywood bus stop and the partys over
Ah yayayayay I gotta go

John ? ? ? his homeboy down so he waited for a ride
Then waited to come by at the hollywoods concert backslide
With affordable odds and a sunroof, nestled among the filth
Frequencies and bad intentions, gotta take it for what its worth

Have you ever been hunted
By your past
And it will never let you go
Well never never let you go
No! I said
Well never never let you go

And I say
Nobody knows me, Im all alone
Ah yayayayay I gotta go
Its a hollywood bus stop and the partys over
Ah yayayayay I gotta go

To get you family better life for every single day

Some things keep me going

When I walked into the hotel room,
i had an old case in my hand...
It was a 1962, Fender acoustic guitar.
Yeah you've been my friend,

Together all over the world,
could not make it without you...
Stranded (stranded)
Stranded (stranded)
Stranded all over again, stranded all over again, with you.

Jesus and his ? ? ? wage a final war
Religious self-prestigious keep the quest for the holy grail
The eye atop the pyramid is open and awake
The pagans hold the rituals and the fire wont begin to say:

Division is the new world order.
Division is the new world order.
Division is the new world order.
Come along and tell your sister and your brother.

The force of war, dynamite blast
Rides on the weak and the poor
Dont want to see my brother in pain when the man fights big mans wars
Dont know nothing bout no red, white and blue

Little men, big ? ? ?
Too many win, nobody lose
? ? ? choose

Division is the new world order.
Division is the new world order.
Division is the new world order.
Come along and tell your sister and your brother.

The conscience of the public can not be put to sleep
The conglomerate of the nations has no bounds in which they seek
Was it the mob tellin the cia to install/restore this state of fear
How many of us wish we were up to kennedys ear?
Say:

Division is the new world order.
Division is the new world order.
Division is the new world order.
Come along and tell your sister and your brother.

See them try to rule the world
We dont know why
Why they want to rule the world
Cuya ? ? ?

Only white men and black mens..? ? ? the white power ? ? ?
The guns of mass destruction, them fighting about
Buying the world is only so much money
Here they come ? ? ? in the knees

World wide hunger ? ? ? one fear
Well gangster treaties who keep us in fear
How much more cannot people deal?
Need no more division

Need no more pride and i, I will keep on fighting to keep whats mine
We the people speaking our mind
And once more, would you say it for me now?

Dynamite blast of the force of war
Government rides on the weak and poor
Dont want to see my brother in pain no more
When the little man fights all the big mans war

? ? ? victimize
Mental slavery with the clever disguise
Our prides on our people must rise
Decide your fate

Life wont wait!!!
Life wont wait!!!
Oh, life wont wait!!!

Books on emerson books on thoreau
But all I read was maps of the road
And I was three thousand miles away from you
All the while I was twenty-two
What do you do to know who you are?
The best way for me to drop out on tour
You went to Upstate NxY (New York) to go to school
To secure the roll with your parents
I got a new perspective on you
All the good and bad that we went through
I know you better than you know you
'Cause I got a new perspective on you
I never needed much, I never liked to loom
But a gesture can get me from across the room
The first night we talked until while the sun caught up
Transparent people melting all around us
You left in a plane, I left in a van
Played nightclub house-parties and auditoriums
Saw Germany England Italy with my band
I know you better than your new friends
I got a new perspective on you
All the good and bad that we went through
I know you better than you know you
'Cause I got a new perspective on you
Ford Econdlane September '93
Driving 10 hours until my eyes are blurry
3 packs of Winstons and a bag of seeds
Tapes of "x" and a thermos of coffee
6 weeks on and 10 days off
Then I go back on the road for another show
This is all that I've ever done
Girl I got nothing to fall back on
"But I got a new perspective on you All the good and bad that we went through
I know you better than you know you 'Cause I got a new perspective on you"

I started watchin´ them all down the line
Keep steppin´ and rejectin´ all the time
They try to pull me in
Can´t let that happen again
They try to do it again all on me

Sedation through the nation
We´re screaming black and blue
Intoxication of a generation
We´re screaming black and blue

The blind leading the blind
They told me i was dumb
They said their security system was too big to outrun
I broke away and i'm never goin´ back
For all the souls they broke
Mine never cracked

Sedation through the nation
We´re screaming black and blue
Intoxication of a generation
We´re screaming black and blue

Bussiness man come shake my hand show me numbers that I understand your my

I had a dream I was a
Vigilantes side kick my
Name is tim Im a
Lesser known character
I had a dream I was
A vigilantes side kick
Fighting crime in the
Streets together down in

Swat team & the m 16 shoot
The walls in destroy the
Building wolverine was sad
& it made him mad every single
Cop got a bullet in their head

For 24 hours on the Ivory Coast,
They release soldiers from their post,
They dedicate champagne, for a toast,
They pay dividends to the country's host.

They said, "Tonight, you can leave your home,
But tomorrow, but tomorrow, it's gonna be the way of the gun",
And the curfew, won't allw you to roam, roam, roam,
And the bullets will let you know, when the big dog comes 'round your door....

Who is the killer?
(Wooooh ohhh oh!)
Who is the killer?
(Wooooh ohhh oh!)
Stone-cold killer,
(Woooooh ohhh oh!)
Food for the trigger,
(Wohhhh ohh ohh!)

I'll shoot ya down, right on sight,
If you're out at the wrong time of night,
And in a civil war, there's no civil rights,
In the dead of day, run for your life.

They said, "Tonight, you can leave your home,
And tomorrow, it's gonna be the way of the gun",
And the curfew, won't let you roam, roam, roam,
And the bullets will let you know, when the big dog comes 'round your door....

Who is the killer?
(Wooooh ohhh oh!)
Who is the killer?
(Wooooh ohhh oh!)
Stone-cold killer,
(Woooooh ohhh oh!)
Food for the trigger,
(Wohhhh ohh ohh!)

And the trenches are dug,
And the bones ain't too shiver,
The tastes of war, so cold and bitter,
And the human race is the face of the killer,
And the cost of life is rarely considered.

They said, "Tonight, you can leave your home,
But tomorrow, but tomorrow, it's gonna be the way of the gun",
And the curfew, won't let you roam, roam, roam,
And the bullets will let you know, when the big dog comes 'round your door....

Who is the killer?
(Wooooh ohhh oh!)
Who is the killer?
(Wooooh ohhh oh!)
Stone-cold killer,
(Woooooh ohhh oh!)
Food for the trigger,
(Wohhhh ohh ohh!)


For once in my life I've got something to say
I wanna say it now cause now is today
A love has been given to grab and enjoy
So let's all grab and let's all enjoy
If the kids are united they will never be divided
If the kids are united they will never be divided
Just take a look around you
What do you see ?
Kids with feelings like you and me
You understand him, he'll understand you
For you are him, and he is you
If the kids are united they will never be divided
If the kids are united they will never be divided
I don't want to be rejected
I don't want to be an unknown
As long as we stand together
Well it will just be the start
If the kids are united they will never be divided [8x]

I figured out the problem yea the problem is you
You didn't see us comin' now there's nothin' you can do
Times are gonna change, change or step aside
It's my point of view that took you by surprise

The sun's comin up yea the new dawn arrives
New generation standing stand with anger in their eyes
No love in the city 'cause there's no connection
Been stricken with disease a racial infection

I'm a rattering ram comin' through to you
In every alleyway on every avenue

Actions could erase all the fear that we suffer
People segregated no one understands each other
He's a different color but we're the same kid
I will treat him like my brother he will treat me like his

Well an eye for an eye yea a tooth for a tooth
Brother against brother should be singin' with the group
The inner cities burnin' yea it's screamin' black and blue
The power and the passion of a million youth

I figured out the problem yea the problem is you
You din't see us comin' now there's nothin' you can do
He's a different color but we're the same kid
I will treat him like my brother he will treat me like his
All the blood that spills of all the guts that fly
The media paints a picture that stands
Pits dogs against cats now who is responsible
The power in the issue
The force is unstoppable

Within the same school. the idea was that wed later combine both styles,
Unify the techniques.
But still, we were too young.
Too full of ignorant pride in our own succulent sorrow.

Oh no!!!

Blasted lyrics of elastic
With a 12 gauge double barrel lyric gun

13 red and white stripes flying
White for skin and red for dying

Why cant i
Walk on through
And not feel like
One is in hell

We dont need no water
Let the motherfucker burn

Its over before it starts
Oh dont you know
So on your marks and stand by
Ready, go
From london to new york, montreal to tokyo
I see visions of her everywhere I go
What have I become?
Now that Im all alone

Im just looking for a way to break through these walls and
Im just looking for a place that I can call my home and
Is anybody out there got a soul?
cuz Im just looking for a girl
The girl with a heart of gold

She always ? ? ? once ? ? ? count with her champagne case
She goes straight down the rathole with her
Total recklessness and
Tomorrow will come on through
And I got nothing but a barely mentioned
Nothing but a sillouette girl
Met her in darkness
I say

What have I become?
Now that Im all alone

Im just looking for a way to break through these walls and
Im just looking for a place that I can call my home and
Is anybody out there got a soul?
cuz Im just looking for a girl
The girl with a heart of gold
I said Im just looking for a girl
The girl with a heart of gold

Yeah Im in the corner I start over
I start the whole slate clean
All the pain and heartache in all my years
I was always to blame
And I dream of this girl
Yeah an angelical ghost
I met her in my neighborhood
Im a downtown member ? ? ?
Dont let me be misunderstood
Oh, Im a downtown member ? ? ?
Dont let me be misunderstood

Heart of gold!!!

Im just looking for a way to break through these walls and
Im just looking for a place that I can call my home and
Is anybody out there got a soul
cuz Im just looking for a girl
The girl with a heart of gold

I said Im just looking for a girl
The girl with a heart of gold

Yeah?
They were sure I was guilty, but I committed no crime
They said: confessions bring lenience, so that put me on the line
So I, protest the massacres at the Talliman Square
My friends say yo, stay away man, you better not go fucking back there
Oh.
Watch this
One night I might write about my opinions about the state
And the freedom of expression they would never tolerate
And the, military secrets that I never did steal
I didn’t start no violence, no, and there was nobody that I killed
No.
So I had a clear account of all abusers of power
And the memories of homeland all gone sour
And I only got one weapon, it’s so plain for me to see
My only weapon I call, poetry

And I don’t even know why
The truth seems like a lie
In my cell there is no sky
When I was arrested in Shanghai

Now, in a world of privilege I was not born
But, the devotion of freedom and liberty I was sworn
So, every emotion is studied, watched their control
Who gets paid, who gets disciplined, who gets born
So, transmitting beams my coordinates, anywhere on Earth
And, as radio waves, surveillance, satellite bursts
Open up your skull and let some knowledge come in
Ya, crack open the cranium and let awareness begin
Oh.

And I don’t even know why
The truth seems like a lie
In my cell there is no sky
When I was arrested in Shanghai
When I was arrested in Shanghai
When I was arrested in Shanghai
Woo!


Broke, dough, dope, the line is choked
Smoked the last dollar to a name
Are you buying?
Are you selling girl?

Talking square never change
And if I really wanna know
What it means for her to be free
Oh shes mixing cocktails
In a squat down avenue c
Yeah running through the street

The parasitic ? ? ?
Ah, dont give her a fight
He gets shallow so I know
There wont be no fucking rainbow in sight
And then deny allegations so strenuously
Oh man, dont get outta control
She was left wrestling in a silent anger
So hell I cant be there for her

I aint looking for answers
I dont want nothing is for free
I sure dont want your respect
I just wanna know whos talking to me
I just wanna know whos talkin to me

I know shes jackin, homegirls mackin
Tried to make sure am I in love
? ? ? you and me
She wont relinquish herself to you, and I sense an emergency

She can cry, she can hide
In the lower east side
Been so low in the fast lane curse
Above all the infamous, with its circus of the fools

And if I really want to know how the pernicious stay on top
Oh they dont break, no break they dont fake
They think theyll wake
They dont stop

I aint looking for answers
I dont want nothing is for free
I sure dont want your respect
I just wanna know whos talking to me
I just wanna know whos talkin to me

Yeah

I just wanna know whos talkin to me
I just wanna know
I just wanna know whos talkin to me

Over and over again the doors are locked
And the windows are broken

No God, no truce
A fire from the sky rains brimstone from above
A whole world implosion got too close to the sun
A vein from a power struggle explode into a bloody mess
Rupturing the nation's core blushing from the stress
The atheists get in line awaiting the coming destruction
Religious dogma corrupted and corrupter
With a man made of sin leads a full scale invasion
Drains the life from the skin's abrasion
No restoring order in a full scale attack
There's no fucking vision, there's no voice it's all black
Then you break down with a villainous call
Puss bleeding profusely from the city walls

Don't ever take away from me my pornography
Obviously we don't agree on what's obscene
I have the right to choose what I want to see and read
Don't ever try to take away from me and my right to privacy
because what I do is no one's business but me
So stay in your missionary position
I hope that you get bored to death
There's no way in hell I'm goin through life havin vanilla sex
The government is tryin to get in your bedroom
Better lock your door and close your shades
Because there could be someone watching you today
(solo)
Why do try to make things illegal?
Why do we have to be twenty-one?
You're so afraid that people are havin way too much fun, ya know
Why do you care what I do in my bedroom?
Why do you wanna know how I screw?
It seems to me you've got nothing better to do

Go ahead start causing trouble
Get outta my way get outta my way...
Dont want your lies and I dont want your ? ? ?
I dont see any fun
In getting fucked up around this place
I played as much as you

Get outta my way get outta my way

Rich kid rich kid get outta my hair

Get outta my way get outta my way

Ill sing what Ill sing
Ill wear what Ill wear

Get outta my way get outta my way

I try to love mankind and I try to do whats right
But I cant do anything...

Get outta my way get outta my way

Go ahead start causing trouble
Get outta my way get outta my way...
Who do you think you are
Do you think youre some kinda cop
Why did you come along youre a fuckin cop!

Kid get outta my way kid get outta my way
Kid get outta my way kid get outta my way (repeat)
Get out... of my way!

Hold your head up high,
Cuz tomorrow you may die,
Cuz no one's safe around here,
No one's safe around here.
Stand your ground,
Til you're the last one in town.

Someone that you trust turned out to be a tricker,
Smoking cigarettes, getting stoned on liquor,
Getting really dizzy, only getting sicker,
Small problems now only seem bigger.
America's a safe place,
If you're gonna leave it,
And the rhetoric is there,
If you're gonna read it,
And the hollow masses,
The machines defeated,
And the rich look down to arrive on the bleeding.

Hold your head up high,
Cuz tomorrow you may die,
Cuz no one's safe around here,
No one's safe around here.
Stand your ground,
Til you're the last one in town.

Hardly enough,
It gets tough when you're running,
So you bust out the homeless,
When they start coming,
In LA, Broadway, it's wicked when they're watching,
And your backup and your backup and your backup ain't working.
There's no food, so you're spurred into action,
Set up and go to no satisfaction,
Ice and snow is the city passion,
When you walk in the shadows, girl, there's no protection.

Hold your head up high,
Cuz tomorrow you may die,
Cuz there's no one safe around here,
No one's safe around here.
Stand your ground,
Til you're the last one in town.

[SR talking:]
OK, well,
This is the city of Los Angeles,
And it never sleeps,
It may look like it,
But it doesn't.
It lives and breathes nocturnally,
So when you've got no place to sleep at night,
And you're all huddled up,
And you're cold,
Well, this song goes out to the city's forgotten.
Hey, Tim, take us on home....

Underlying reason, well she can't keep it going,
In the middle of the night,
they found her frozen,
And the Wal-Mart sign,
Keeps on glowing,
And the winds of change keep on blowing.

Hold your head up high,
Cuz tomorrow you may die,
Cuz no one's safe around here,
No one's safe around here.
Stand your ground,
Til you're the last one in town.


Jimmy and johnny two friends of mine

The ladies on the corner selling extacy.
They dress in fancy get up like in porno magazines
Minor's in the disco gets his first drink
Cops on the lawn waitin' for the kids to leave.
Where they go to brothels where they have to spend
Where they have the friends they have everything you need
Where they go to brothels where they have to spend
Where they have the friends they have everything you need
We have everything you need
And when I first did him I knew that he was tough,
And not to my surprise he really liked it rough,
Red leather pants, a tattooed neck
and prayin' hard to jesus saying givin' him a rest
Where they go to brothels where they have to spend
Where they have the friends they have everything you need
Where they go to brothels where they have to spend

We've got everything you need
Nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah nah

Where they have the friends they have everything you need
Where they go to brothels where they have to spend
Where they have the friends they have everything you need
Where they go to brothels where they have to spend
Where they have the friends they have everything you need
We have everything you need,
You neeed you neeed You neeed you neeed You neeed you neeed

Excuse me while I put I knife out of my back
How could I ever trust a person like that
Along side the slow is someone moving faster
Behind the warm image is a cold cold bastard

Corporate liberal bullshit ruling fucking class
Take your fucking money and shove it up your ass
Take your lies ive had enough of you
And all the shit that you put me through
Im injured

Injury

I look for the truth its getting hard to find
Money grabbing dragon and the tie you hide behind
Im so fucking stupid with you I was a buyer
I believed in you you deceiving liar
Set me fucking free

(repeat 2x)

Back down no back down comin up
Rise up no rise up showin up

What about the kid who got stopped

Under a red hot moon, take a bus downtown to the Grave yard shift tonight
Under a red hot moon, take a bus downtown to the Grave yard shift tonight

Casey’s from Cali, California.
She's got a reputation that she didn't ask for.
She’s waiting for an escape now, escape is called the 164.
Now, Casey, she won’t admit when she’s wrong,
now Casey, she’s always run, run, run.
She’s a punk rocker, she don’t trust no one
on a south end bus all alone.

Under a red hot moon, take a bus downtown to the Grave yard shift tonight
Under a red hot moon, take a bus downtown to the Grave yard shift tonight

Casey was never caught up, like the rest of the rats in a fucking maze
“Check me out” she said, “I’m in a concrete jungle,
I’m an individual and you’re stuck in my waste”
Oh hell no, she knows what the truth is. Because she said so
She knows who her friends are so fuck you, don’t get no closer,
it’ll only make her run far away

Under a red hot moon, take a bus downtown to the Grave yard shift tonight
Under a red hot moon, take a bus downtown to the Grave yard shift tonight

I know Casey’s brother pretty well, you see,
we spent a lot of time hanging out
I always thought for sure that she’d be the one to get out of here
and make a life fore herself
but when we found her in the little league park,
in the dugout it was cold in the dark.
No one knew why she wouldn’t wake up,
I think she finally made it back home.

Under a red hot moon, take a bus downtown to the Grave yard shift tonight
Under a red hot moon, take a bus downtown to the Grave yard shift tonight

[Rap verse by Rob Aston]
One time for your mind, two times for your soul three for the graveyard and the money I stole. Dimmed out in the city where the sun burns slow, no hope it’s a pity I can’t say no. It’s mot my time to go, it’s not my time to die, the last thing I wants for my mother to cry It was love at first light, since the very first night, things have never been the same since I took my first flight. The way I live my life, I love; I live lavish, lost me from the start. You lose, you’ll never have it! Untouched, unleashed, back up you don’t want it. Take it for the cash. It’s back, now he’s fronting. Take two pass, I’ll take to blast. Bust a mother fucker; I’m out on the flash. Pimped out, high as fuck. I’m out of control. Heads bounce, rocks quake now I’m ready to roll.

Under the red hot moon.
Under the red hot moon.
Under the red hot moon.


[Originally by Nofx]
When I look 'round, I only see outta one eye
As the smoke surrounds my head, the sauna
I hear the voices, but I can't make out their words
Saying things, saying things that
I got something sticking in my eye
Got something sticking in my eye
Got something sticking in my eye
I feel unusual from thinking
About the underground decay, God help me
Kill beneath the camera, watch the world begin to cry
It's not from pity, it comes from
What's been sticking in my eye
Got something sticking in my eye

Jimmy said he could handle this
Ohhhh, hes from los angeles ohh!

Jimmy said he could handle this
Born and raised in west los angeles
Dads a lawyer, mummys sleep,
Runs down the family cant ya see,

Daddys got no connection here,
Everythings reject and demanded,
Lived your life and thought handled it

In and out and said: oi, tik, tok,

Blackhawk down below
There's a blackhawk down in Mogadishu
American government issue
Conflict in Somalia
Never came to an end
Strife in Sudan
Ongoing contention
Battle in Sierra Leon
Hostilities in Congo
Who drew the coup
Explosions at zero

All right this one goes out to all our friends in new york:
H2o, the slackers, stubborn all stars
Must respect
Hey tim take it away my man.

Well I heard they fly a confederate flag
Down at the state house
Got a gun to my head from the hand of a man
Down at the state house
Well I reach for a dollar in the hole in my pocket
Down at the state house
They said I got some rights and I really shouldnt knock it
Down at the state house

What can we do? (x7)

Broken bones, broken rules
They can all be fixed (oh yeah)
So let those who battle with the pen
And the others with the fist (its the gospel now)
The strong ones will be defiant with words that can convince
You can take this as rules but Ill take it as a dis

Yeah!!!

Well they wanna hold me with wrongful suspicion
Down at the state house
And Im all bundled up in an awkward position
Down at the state house
And they say its all part of a hundred year tradition
Down at the state house
And I do feel they got a mental condition
Down at the state house

What can we do? (x7)

Hey gettin crazy watch me
Was it you all along working for the cia?
Iran contra panama
American casket parlet (work it now, work it)
Visions of light yes, visions of death no, visions gone astray (oh yeah)
Jump on that dc-10 my man oh and you fly away

Ignore the weak ignore the poor
Down at the state house
They got a real good position for me on the floor... hell no
Down at the state house
They said your gonna make a real real nice world
Down at the state house
But they do not know the law not no at all
Down at the state house

What can we do? (x7)

All right this one goes out to sick of it all, agnostic front, crown of thornz, dgeneration,
Dj ansen, dave hillyard and the rocksteady seven, simon and the bar sinisters, nine lives and
His new band under the gun, madball, marky ramone and the intruders.

If I cant come in thats mean that I cant come back that means I got nowhere to go

(repeat 2x)
Im a hyena fighting for lion share
Sometimes the lions share aint there

Absent from political authority an animal Ive become (hey !!)
Total disorder and confusion is the life style that I run (hey !!)
Permit me to do what I want and I will Im a nomad to travel (hey !!)
Concrete class stone and gravel

(repeat 2x)
Im a hyena fighting for lion share
Sometimes the lions share aint there

Every time I turn around its the same sad story
Getting ganked I wish it could end in lifes comisary
Im a bad missionary with a wicked message I sent
Who can I trust in a world of greed
When Im taught to take and not to give

Who can I trust when Im taught to take and not to give

Im money broke and its no joke cant core use the rope this time (hey !!)
Nuckel up buckel up the rides getting rough but I will not loose my mind (hey !!)
Permit me to do what I want and I will Im a nomad to travel (hey !!)
Concrete class stone and gravel

Im a hyena fighting for lion share
Sometimes the lions share aint there
Sometimes the lions share aint there.....shit

Dead bodies everywhere
Piles of blood, entrails and hair
I'm bleeding from the inside
From the armageddon outside
Disfigured and oblique
From the appetite that I seek
I'm a hungry cannibal
I'm a rabid animal
My remains are being scattered
I've been bludgeoned, I'm in pain
Stomach pains are coming
And they strike with demon speed
Reaccuring rotting dreams
From this place the demons speak
My skin exfoliates
My patience terminates
Unfold to unholy urges
Unearthed with urgency
The holocaust was nothing
Compared to my lividity
In this oblong box that's eating you
There's nothing you can do

Everybody wants to come down
But no one wants to pay
I try to show em
But they do anyway

I was nock shock nock nock down to my knees
Same thing for my duty quiz

Gunshot! gunshot! gunshot through my heart

Sometimes there are guys
Who can deal with me
Everythings imperive
But I dont fucking need

I know where you are but I dont care
I thought Id use my no decision
Gunshot!
Gunshot!
Gunshot through my heart

Gunshoooooooooooot!
Gunshoooooooooooot!
Gunshoooooooooooot!
Gunshoooooooooooot!

Gunshot!
Gunshot!
Gunshot through my heart
Gunshot!
Gunshot!
Gunshot through my heart

Stuck in the sewer beneath all the maggots I aint foolin Ive been pursuing
God damn it man I almost had it a way to get out of these dirty old ruins im
Checkin out Im never comin back Im checkin out Im listed m.i.a. God damn
It man I almost had it threw me out the door and called me a faggot I aint
Done Ive only yet begun west oakland is the place where Im comin from god
Damn it man I almost had it well I did it again yeah I do it outta habit well
Im numb it aint no fun Im less than zero when you add up the sum im
Checkin out yeah it aint no doubt yea a courtship built from anger is what
It amounts I almost had it I came so close man I almost had it I almost had it

Echos of reggae comin through my bedroom wall havin a party up next door
But Im sittin here all alone two lovers in the bedroom and the others start
To shout all I got is this blank stare and that dont carry no cloud at all
Destination unknown ruby soho hes singin and shes there to lend a hand hes
Seen his name on the marquee but she will never understand once again hes
Leavin and shes there with a tear in her eye embraces with a warm gesture
Its time to say good-bye destination unknown ruby soho rubys heart aint
Bleedin cause she knows the feeling is gone shes not the only one who knew
Theres somethin wrong her lovers in the distance as she wipes a tear from
Her eye rubys fading out she disappears its time, time to say good-bye
Destination unknown ruby soho

The way that she moves well I was aroused impowered, impassioned by every move
Its cold outside we need a place to hide go into the club to thaw out for the
Night shes automatic the way that she moves she asked me if I would stand by
Her side like glue that I would till the end of the night my head was spinnin
A million miles an hour the chance I was takin I get anxious around her she
Put her head on my shoulder I started to hold her swingin and swayin the
Morning began

And I know, I’m indestructible
And I know, I’m indestructible
Tonight!

Break down! Caught tell me its not true
It’s a shakedown! Come on tell me who are you
It’s so fake now, everything I see right through
I’m ashamed now, to say I ever know you

See the greater minions make a move on their feet
Kill them anywhere from here even from the head
Girls that seem so hot and I’m just sitting here laughing
I’m gonna keep going up, I can’t get distracted

And I know, I’m indestructible
And I know, I’m indestructible
Tonight!

Lay back! Why cant you all come and save me
And you will never betray me
And I’ll give back everything that you gave me
And I know that no one can never ever contain me

And I, walking I walk down to some American consumer, nah
And I’m dancing now to a whole different drummer
And I keep listening to the great Joe Strummer
cause good music, we can’t live forever

And I know, I’m indestructible
And I know, I’m indestructible
Tonight!


Like Chaucer's
Canterbury Tales
When three men find a pot of gold
And end up killing one another in the name of greed
Some people are poison
Under my skin like opium
I'll stare in their eye to annoy them
Well, they're poison
Yeah, they're poison
Admissions of liabilities
I'm livin' in my own private cold war
In a room full of spies
And I can't find the door
Some people are poison
Under my skin like opium
I'll stare in their eye to annoy them
Well, they're poison
Yeah, they're poison
The violent aspects of the tattered man
Let me respond to that if I can
Illuminated manuscripts written by hand
Accusations have been made from the very beginning
Some people are poison
Under my skin like opium
I'll stare in their eye to annoy them
Well, they're poison
Yeah, they're poison
Yeah, their fuckin'... POISON

Is it you?
Is it you who's been orchestrated?
Is it you?
Is it you who's born frustrated?

Hey! Hey! Hey!
Is it you?
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Is it you?
Is it you who's born frustrated?

American shopping malls,
Where a product is sold and bought here,
Euthanizing the public,
While the dead walk the escalators,
They come from the loudspeakers,
They hear a subliminal message,
An ad entices you, the consumer,
And there's no way to find it.

Is it you?
Is it you who's been orchestrated?
Is it you?
Is it you who's born frustrated?

Hey! Hey! Hey!
Is it you?
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Is it you?
Is it you who's born frustrated?

Is this human freedom,
Hedonistic excess?
Junky consumerism,
Mass-production, toxic sickness,
Everyone is wearing now,
Plastic masks that they hide behind,
Marketing massive sales of nothing,
Everything is selling.

Is it you?
Is it you who's been orchestrated?
Is it you?
Is it you who's born frustrated?

Hey! Hey! Hey!
Is it you?
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Is it you?
Is it you who's born frustrated?

The arrogance,
Lost me with nonsense,
Well, it's so aggressive,
Yet so repulsive,
Well, it's a noxious culture,
Of the swarming vultures!
And I an imposter,
And he's coming to get you!

Is it you?
Is it you who's been orchestrated?
Is it you?
Is it you who's born frustrated?

Hey! Hey! Hey!
Is it you?
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Is it you?
Is it you who's born frustrated?


Never fell in love
Until I fell in love with you
Never know what a good time was until I had a good time with you
If you wanna get the feeling and you wanna get it right
Then the music gotta be loud
For when the music hit I feel no pain at all

Warm summer night I was drinking with my dad
He tried to give me the love that I never had
But he gave more love to his bottle of wine
So I had to go out and find love of another kind

Here it is
Here I am
Turn it up
Fuckin loud

Radio, radio, radio...

When I got the music
I got a place to go

Radio clash
Magnificent 7
I was a choir boy
You showed me no heaven
Two tools surley lost
No remorse ignoring the cost

Here it is
Here I am
Turn it up
Fuckin loud

Radio, radio, radio...

When I got the music
I got a place to go

If the police come and tromp the state
And there's a strait crisis and maley
And gradually arodes world technology
Let go, let go, let go, disgruntled
And gradually arodes world technology
Let go, let go, let go, disgruntled
Reflect something of course you descend
Fighting conflict, running fugitive
And gradually arodes world technology
Let go, let go, let go, disgruntled
And gradually arodes world technology
Let go, let go, let go, disgruntled
If the police come and tromp the state
And there's a strait crisis and maley

Every city got an artery where the blood breaks down
An avenue or a boulevard and a boy who wears a crown
Indigant live styles mplies simply lack of means
Dogmatical authoritarians dictate the cities remains

A promise
To go to heaven wont put salvation in sight

Whirlwind is coming down on me

When the factory shut down so did the place he lived
Blood money for junk bonds by a white collar fugitive
All the tax free insentives aint going to help him now
Generations of job security gone out like the horse and plow

A promise
To go to heaven wont put salvation in sight

Whirlwind is coming down on me

My old man worked his troubled life in a nowhere dead end
He drank the pain away ill be damned if thats me having my dreams robbed
The working class carries a country that has been rotting inside for years
The rigs cuffed my old man in the front yard I saw through my eyes of tears
A promise to go to heaven wont put salvation in sight

Whirlwind is coming down on me

This is one of the good times when
When his brains lies on the pavement
With a broken bone in his hand
And another in his back

Do you feel alright
Oi oi oi
Someone's gonna die tonight
Oi oi oi
Do you feel alright
Oi oi oi
The boys are out tonight

Was it something that he said

With a broken bone in his hand
He will never understand

[Lars:] I was an atheist,
You wore the crucifix,
We put our differences to the side,
This time a lesson learned,
You told me not to mourn,
Your heart is bigger every night I'm alive.

[Tim:] Campbell, California,
Aw, please don't let me down,
Robert, I remember when you used to run the town,
I'll never forget, and I'll always be your friend,
I'll be seeing you on the other side.
[Both:] Robert, I'll see you on the other side.

[Lars:] I'm waking up to this,
The pain that you are free,
I miss the days that you walked with me,
You're a brother, a loyal friend,
Showed me how to be a man,
I love you, Robert, and I always will.

Yeah!

She says his power is what's happening
Well i'll be sure to be respecting nothing's stopping him
And to move up for him about crushing them
And i'll kick you plain and simple it's a sin man

Leave it to the coroner to detect this
And i'm sure the u.s.a. to wreck this
He drives a tricked out tricked out tricked out lexus
And he looks at the city says i can take this

It's high into a corner where the one leads
Well it's so fucking high that your nose bleeds
They watch you break the nose out of respect
You broke the nose that is correct

The gates of hell are they closing in the victim's family going condemn him
He said, "ah don't trust them"
Yeah he'll show them

The sword, the jewel, imagination
Cash, culture and violence
Violence, wealth and knowledge

Poisoned like a rat who drank some strychnine gin
How many men can say they been allow this to happen
Bureaucratic military federation
Living dead will need to rise again

The delicate skipped it heard the rumble
And the legions that are timid lord they crumble
And consequently nothing but a concrete jungle
And lord i wonder

The sword, the jewel, imagination

There was romance in the air for sure
There was romance in the air
When the autumn sunlight Sharmon Palms
There was romance in the air
Sitting on the steps
Shit-head drunks
We had a crew and we called it the skunks
Punk rockers, skinhead, misfits and misunderstood kids
Me and Ben we spent years
By the park trees drinking beers
When the center of the universe was a street called Sharmon Palms
There was romance in the air for sure
There was romance in the air
When the autumn sunlight Sharmon Palms
There was romance in the air
Nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Youth was exhausted
Some take it harder then most
My best friend he crumbled and he withered away (withered away)
I went back to the palm trees
The safest place Ben could ever be
Mixed his ashes with the dirt
He'll be safe there Yeah!
There was romance in the air for sure
There was romance in the air
When the autumn sunlight Sharmon Palms

I've lived my whole life, made mistakes,
From the get-go,
Street kid from the start, right, no regrets though,
I do what I want, yeah, cuz I said so,
No sleep for the weak, right? No, bet no.
Rollin' with the punk rockers,
I ain't lying,
Fake guns, fake bands,
Fake punk, I ain't buying,
Hit the road,
All I know,
Rock and roll ain't dying, about fifteen deep,
We hit the streets low ridin.

By the time we made it to New Orleans,
It must have been half past three.
By the time we made it to Memphis,
We were crazy.
Tonight, draw a blanket,
And a pillow to keep us warm,
Tonight, protect us from the storm.

He was back, causing trouble,
Time's they're a comin' round,
Oh no, let me go to another round,
Tuesday night is when the storm's gonna settle down,
Had a glance, circumstance,
Don't cause, trouble bound,
She's the one, all alone, I come lookin',
Smoke and mirrors as I watch,
Aw, that girl was trippin',
It's no fun, lost again,
To have your heart broken,
Greed is from a world that is built on hustling.

By the time we made it to New Orleans,
It must have been half past three.
By the time we made it to Memphis,
We were crazy.
Tonight, draw a blanket,
and a pillow to keep us warm,
Tonight, protect us from the storm.

The breaks were falling when they had failed,
Every road can lead ya straight down to fucking hell,
Rain stopped falling when they had failed,
Every road can take ya straight down to hell.

Doing nothing here, everyone straight trippin,
Happy at times, are gone, past starts slippin,
This will be enough to keep me on the road livin,
Good every night, in a different city I'll be sleepin,
Let me know, here we go, met a girl named Lola,
Is she here? Is she there? Drinking Jack and cola,
She says, "Tim, where ya been? I got somethin' to show ya,
Lola fired off her clothes and started rock and rollin!

By the time we made it to New Orleans,
It must have been half past three.
By the time we made it to Memphis,
We were crazy.
Tonight, draw a blanket,
and a pillow keep us warm,
Tonight, protect us from the storm.


1987 at a 7-11
Police out looking for problems
But Im no average hoodlum
Still running from the pigs
So it seems to me this is not
The land of love and liberty
Its more like a waiting room in hell
Drink a qwart and watch me dwell
I got it right out in the trenches tonight
Glass towers rise above the filth and the pain
Im a moral degenerate feel my pain
Pass out in a squat on mission
That night I was shocked into submission
Straight down straight down to hell I head
Systems of sewers is where I lay my head
People on their way are like on a different dimension
I need no correction
I got it right out in the trenches tonight
Some of my friends moved on a simple domestic life
Theyre all gone only a few of us remain
Only few of us want to keep in the same
I got it right out in the trenches tonight

There's four of us here and that's always worked
good and evil, they don't mean dirt
one of 'em naked and one's no where
one of us went back in the hotel

on and on
just a feeling, it don't seem right

just a feeling, it don't seem right
just a feeling
