Listen now ! Checkpoint

God bless the police invisible marines
Your state isn't safe and niether is me
We're the rats of experiment
Suburban laboratore
We're the mice without legs
Tagged at birth

Laboratory rats
This is a lab

The scientist he's your god
The scientist till we're gone

The science fair's continual
Aliens are having fun
They let us go a bit in
Our own time zone

Science bless computer chips
God bless your families
Science bless your little pets
It's time to come clean

Tin soldiers fought for what we got and now its lost
Spirits of two hundred years gets laundrode in the wash
The keepers of the key have lied to you
they lied to me, millions died for a color'd cloth on a pole knee deep
Children fight so buerocrats can have a seat
Inflations up the dollars down war means economy
He's digging for the gold he wears a flag upon his sleeve
bible in his hand
Lavish the oil in the middle east
Ousted Ousted Ousted Ousted

ya don't believe ya don't
its dungary its dungary to talk
ya don't believe its dungary - ect
Bloody rag torn to shreds
Bloody rag millions dead
Bloody rag !
A bloody rag

Listen now ! Checkpoint
An old motel broad side of the road
there aint been a lick of sense the manager hides
the lable sighsthrough booking agents and promoter ties

The contracts runnin out tonight
back to the laundromats tonight
We know our place we're in your face
we are a disgrace for the human race
no hallos here, none of us are saints

the underrated , the underdogs
the unnaounced, under the fog
the boat keeps floating and we keep rowing
Fuck off we're marchin on
We've never been about business man
they won't play us on the radio
I guess we're just a bloody neusance
We're just a bunch of fucking punks

[Chorus]

We're all still on this earth because we all still have to learn
to love and heal each other blasphemy I'll say the words
Yesterday rotates the same old broken tape
It falsefide my pride to hate's a soul waste

Its a shame on season
for truth to keep the lights on
Scripts are going to change
so far I see oncoming trains
a ball of wax, a can of worms
we all point out dogs resavoir
I'm puttin down my weapon now
I'm puttin down the gun
History repeats itself surrender took so long
As my mind discards itself, the pieces left alone
I cannot redeem it all m its still some other day
Planet life is far to short to let you bother me

It's in the drink it's in the shame
I won't remain, I won't remain
The flag is up don't bring it down
I'm gonna be I'm gonna be
I'm breakin free I'm gonna be

I live a third world life
My people starve in poverty
It's really nice to see a
Band mean what they say
I know your freedom's limited
You've seen how it is for me
Few that come through isn't often
We just want to leave

The propaganda's horrible
The fascist president
He cleaned out the hospital
Of cancer patients
He took out the whole fifth floor
He's done it twice before
There isn't any law for him
Dictator has us chained

Croatia breaks
Croatia breaks

A matter of the factories
The workers don't get paid
For when we do it's spoiled food
We share with family
For if we question authority
One day we disappear
We just take the breaks
And dream escape and heading west

Croatia breaks
Croatia breaks

Quiet Knocks on the front door

Pizzas for the stocking killer
Feed it to the head in the freezer
Ravaging inside the trash

Shouting in my rooms no good
I won't be saved

Not Again!
No no no no no not again

Deep sleep ain't what it used to be
Place yer guns onto the bar and keep me company

Country croneing and moaning a hymn

Intro: Oklahoma city bombing cover up
Timothy McVeigh is innocent
By preponderance of evidence

Lets get it straight a cover up is no accident
Evidence isolates the patsy lone assassin
Conquer and divide tactic is designed
To refute
The fingerprint man the planted witness
Military truck in a parking lot

United States congress forced to investigate
Due to public outcry the FBI has lied
Smear campaigns CIA engaged
Routine
Camoflauge a Ryder truck
The huggers hid the other bombs
Military truck in a parking lot
Murrah Building had explosives that
Did not go off! No novelty clocks...
Dismiss the sniffing dogs
McVeigh was at McDonalds not renting trucks

A mile and a 4th down the street
Soaked in the rain dry clothes on John Doe
16 thousand tons of A.N.T.O.
The B.A.T.F. agent no elevator plummetted
Forty four days to congregate
A story to formulate
Security camera documents

McVeigh was framed
McVeigh was framed
Cover up framed
Cover up framed
Cover up framed
Cover up framed

Kill me I need the rest
Put me out of misery
Whole jungle on my shoulders my back's gonna break
I'm a slowe for the gow
Slave labor to slave
And drag around

Needle's broken in the ditch of burned out veins
I point out the problem three fingers point at me
I'm a slowe for the gow/ For the gow for the gow
Slave labor to slave/ I drag myself around
I can't live without the thought of something killing me
Service for the sick a minute takes a month
Service for the sick in the heat of a cold sweat
For the gow, for the gow
I won't put my shovel down
For the gow, for the gow
I cannot be found
I keep working to get well I guess I never will
No more grass from shanty town I graduated to the gow
To the gow
To the gow

I'm a slowe for the gow
Slave labor to slave
For the gow, for the gow
Drag myself around

Lossen up your pants

If ya had a hard day, then ya better start wiggin out

Just go for it , let it rip
Wig Out!! - exit
Nobody cares if you wanna flip
If everyone stares there just jealous
If yer home alone put your pajamas on

If you hit some one you don't have to fitght

No tough guys need to prove
you had a dog day afternoon
Just blow off and wig on out!

Walked all around through London Town
Hung awhile on carnaby
What happened to the Soho
What happened to Kings Road
A revolution blitze
Completely smashed to bits
of kids, what about the future
I thought that there was none
Die Alone!
A queens jubilee, the kings gettin change
and Malcomb gets arrrested for publicity
So let it rock and let it sex
the fetish in the punk rock is left fo dead

At each others throat they couldn't trust themselves
no ones taking notes
Tell it like it was
Someone takes a stab and no one makes a stand
Living in the flaws of an imperfect world
a fight for freedom freedom lost
We die alone
Remember the cause
We die alone, so die with a cause
We die alone, a calling of the punks
We die alone, because I still trust no one.

The UPS man just pulled up
He dropped a package on the steps
My ticket out is in that box
Been waiting for a month
I tore it up and ripped it out
And slid on linoleum
Unattached but I'm attached
I roll around
It's hot outside it's dead inside
I'm out I'd rather melt
X-heads is killing cats
Smoked potatoes on the couch
No one's left I got in common
It's time to check out
Unattached but I'm attached
I roll around
Unattached but I'm attached
I roll around
Unattached but I'm attached
I roll around
Yeah I fucking roll because
My life's too fucking short
Those marathon goodbyes
One day will be for good
Break out and leave this life behind
That's my favorite song
Unattached but I'm attached
I roll around
Unattached but I'm attached
I roll around
Unattached but I'm attached
I roll around
