Life Style of Rebellion
I'm a rat in a maze
i'm headed in the wrong the direction
if societies the cure
well then i'm the infection
when i was younger i tried hard to a find a place within it`s structure
but the more that i tried
the more i fuckin suffered
its so hard, its so hard, so fucking hard to live this life
my gun is fuckin loaded and i'm begining to see the light
i knew all along that it was wrong, when you told me it was right
all these fuckin' rules and regulations hold me down
i open up my mouth to scream, but no one hears a sound
cause they're too busy buying up
everything thats been selling
that's why i chose to live
a fuckin' lifestyle of rebellion
its so hard, its so hard, so fucking hard to live this life
my gun is fuckin loaded and i'm begining to see the light
i knew all along that it was wrong, when you told me it was right



No Reason
It was never easy growing up with you
your words & actions left me confused
the way you think about things makes the mad
you tried to teach me your version of bad
i never saw the reasons for your hate
i don't think you had one any way
now i'm older, opinionated and i'm strong
so shut your mouth and listen to this song
your way of thinking is fucking wrong
and i know i can't change you with this song
but maybe i can make you stop to think
we're all connected, you're just the weakest link
conditioned to hate without a reason
i don't understand what you believe in
no color, no race, no religion, no creed
no reason to hate, why can't you see?



Conditioning
Every day the brainwash trend, repeating the words put into my head
never thinkin about what they mean monotone, like a damn machine
i stood in line, a single file a uniform to fit the style
but my individuality they could never take from me
shown a cross and made to pray do exactly what they say
they told me it was the only way chant the same thing every day
i put my hand upon my chest and say some words that were meaningless
but deep inside i always knew your system sucks and so do you
desensitized to almost everything conditioned to act without thinking (x2)

hey, hey...


Freedom
Everyday i listened to you and nothing's ever good enough
you're always complaining about something you act so goddamn tough
but all you ever do is let someone do your thinking for you
and you have no respect for my opinion
well at least i think for myself i`m not brainwashed
to think like people that rule
i'm not a pool and i'll rise i wont compromise
and i'll never give up, i won't walk walk walk away
there won't be another day when i can say hey hey hey... freedom
you talk to me i see your lips move
but the words that come out aren't yours they're someone elses
you dangle from their strings beneath the wings
of the eagle you push but i'll never fall
i'm not the only one whose willing to stand up..
we've had enough your laws just benifit you
we watch you get richer as we get sicker
and we'll rise with battle cries and we'll never give up



Destroy What Destroys You
Johnny's pissed of at the institute of social oppression
he's had enough & he can't take no more
johnny's so tired of being held down by the system
the rich get rich and the poor stay poor
johnny bought a cookbook
and he locked himself inside his bedroom
now he's got a back full of pipebombs
johnny took a gasp as he sliped on his ski-mask
now he's in the bank and he's singing this song
i won't be another content slave
that you opress because i crave
for the annihilation of your existance
feel my hate feel my resistance
and the system has brought to its knees
then i heard him scream...
destroy what destroys you


It Really Sucks When
You know we're not the only ones who aren't afraid of you
*Now the rest of the fucking song is in the state of being translated...*


Bloodclot

Another Fuck You Song
To them we're paper, numbers in a profit margin
we fill their pockets & keep their bank accounts enlargin'
no one controls them, they're on the inside
of a structure built on bribes
elitest inner-circle holding decisive power
over a nation more corrupt by the hour
money hungry business man, he's got a big plan
he's making party donations
because one hand washes the other
it's safer to be on the side of big brother
and we all know it's wrong
so here's another fuck you song
the wealthy ruling class, they keep us occupied
they fill our heads with promises, but we know they're lies
to them it's a game, and we will always lose
'cause they keep changing the rules.


30 Second Song
Where the fuck's my freedom?
Uncle sam says not today.
Thats the price you pay
Living in the U.S.A.


Kickin The Dog
Theres something deep inside you cant see
or touch and they can never take from me
no matter how hard they try
i'll never give it up till the day i die
& there's a fire fueled by hate
and it was burning deep down inside me
& i can't take it anymore...society



Sounds of The Underground
We're all here we're all the same
fighting each other nothing's to gain
open your eyes don't play their game
open your mouth but do not close your eyes
fight the system not each other they control your lives
why are we so busy fighting each other
when we should be fighting the system that fucks up
and holds us down with the shackles that bound
there's a new sound comin down from the underground
a sound called unity if we stand together
we'll never be torn apart by hatred
we've gotta stop the violence in our scene
and focus our hate on the state till they hear our screams


Osuchowsk Is On The Loose
Intrumental


Walking Revolution
I never do what I'm told
I'm a fucking time bomb waiting to explode
I'm a walking revolution
I've git problems no solutions...damn
so you say I've got a problem with authority
well I just don't know what to do
cause all your rules & regulations
benefit no one but you
so I refuse to let you run my life
and be a rat in your race
so you'd better get outta my sight
before i fuckin smash your face
Pressures & I'm gonna explode
I'm gonna grab my glock & empty my load
I'm stuck in a dead end job burger flipin
everybody's movin forward but i'm slipin
further further down with no hope
everydays a struggle I just can't cope
my heads a mess, I can't think straight
look into my eyes & all you see is hate


Disobey
Hey...Disobey
I'm not gonna listen to what you say
I won't listen to you if you say I'm outta line
I won't listen to you fuckin rightwing slime
you try to hold me down
but I pick myself back up
lets all skank together &
pick it up



Chelsea Baby
Chelsea baby let's run away
to some third world country
exploit the workers, rape the land
get money for dope from your old man
Chelsea baby what's with your pops
each time I call, he sends the cops
meet me at the Crumbs' show tonight
pack your shit. We'll be alright!
auntie tipper raided your underwear drawer
& burned your riot grrl shirt & called
you "whore" & playing the fascist p.m.r.c role
she wiped her butt with m.r.r
Chelsea hates her mom & Chelsea hates her dad
Chelsea hates the state she finds it very sad
so grab your shit tonight & man
we'll flee & squat under a bridge in the florida keys



The Corporate Takeover
Can't you see, you're not free
you ain't never gonna be
I'm not gonna bend to fit society
I'm not gonna remove what's deep inside of me
money's your god its got no hold on me
a puppet on a string is all you're ever gonna be
they're gonna destroy what we worked so hard to create
a subculture of consciousness againts a bourgeis society state
a slave, I never want to be a part of your society
can't you see you're not free
you ain't never gonna be
punk's not dead, it never will be
if we keep the corporate shit out of the scenery
your money, your suit, your tie doesn't impress me
the media's corrupting the scene, but they can't touch me
keep punk pure, keep punk true, beat your ass in,
your black and blue take your money, shove it up your ass,
ain't sellin' punk for cash alternatives big,
corrupting the scene, major labels makin green
i ain't gonna sell it, i ain't gonna buy it
as long as their in the scene, i'm gonna fight it
don't support the bands that sell it,
they think their shit don' stink, i smell it
bullet in their head is what they need
time to take back the scene that we made
rise up, wise up don't let the scene fade



Hard As Fuck
One day I decided to pray
I kneeled down & looked to the sky
I asked God why is life so hard
He turned his back & I started to cry
You turn your back on me
So I turn my back on you
Fuck your system and fuck you too
You tell me to follow your rules
Well how the fuck do you expect me to obey them
When you can't even follow them yourself
You're just trying to keep me down



Centerfold
Does she walk? does she talk? does she come complete?
My homeroom angel always pulled me from my seat
She was pure like snowflakes, no one could ever stain
The memory of my angel could never cause me pain
Years go by, I'm looking through a girlie magazine
And there's my homeroom angel on the pages in between
My blood runs cold, my memory has just been sold
My angel is a centerfold, Angel is a centerfold (x2)
Slipping notes under the desk
While I was think about her dress
I was shy, I turned away before she caught my eye
I was shaking in my shoes, whenever se flashed those baby blues
something had a hold on me when Angel passed close by
those soft fuzy sweaters, too magical to touch
I see her in that neglige is really just too much
My blood runs cold, my memory has just been sold
My angel is a centerfold, Angel is a centerfold (x2)
Now listen... its okay, I understand
this ain't no never-never land
I hope that when this fish is gone
I'll see you when your clothes on
take your car, yes we will, we'll take your car and drive it
Take it to a motel, and take'em off in private
a part of me has just been wrecked
the pages from my mind are stripped,
oh no! I can't deny it. oh yeah I got to buy it
Alright! alright! 1 2 3 4...
My blood runs cold, my memory has just been sold
My angel is a centerfold, Angel is a centerfold (x2)


We Won't Submit
You can close you eyes and pretend that everything's fine
but sooner or later you'll open your eyes
and reality will strike you blind
They're stealing all our money
and desroying all our scene
We're working hard to make them rich
with their get rich corporate schemes
We won't submit
They're full of shit
I'd rather die
Then live a lie
You bust your ass every week
you think that you are free
I want to take a fuckin' gun
and shoot them in the head
cause I won't rest until the day
that I look out and see
the lawyers and the politicians
all lying around dead
Punks unite, show some might
don't go down without a fight
don't backdown, stand your ground
Let's go out and burn this town
we'll skank all night at the sight
of the city burning bright
All around you'll hear the sound
of the town burning down
Open your eyes, you work for the system
You're a tool, I can't take the lies
And if you believe them you're a fool
Can't you hear the cries
from the working class
the ones you rule
and you cannot hide
because we'll find you
It's time for us to fight
against everything that you stand for
Time to feel our might
gonna kick your ass and even the score
Burn everything in sight
break all of your windows
loot your stores
Gonna start tonight
We're hard to the core
It's time for you to pay
for the rotten shit that you have done
We won't fade away
our hate will burn you like the sun
We will seize the day
it's time for us to have some fun
We are here to stay
until we've fuckin won
We're running out into the streets
to pick up sticks and stones
We'll wait outside your fuckin' house
and break your fuckin' bones
We won't listen to reason
cause it makes no sense at all
We will bring you fuckin' down
and make you fuckin' fall


Above The Law
Couldn't get in the show
Hangin' out in the street
We had nowhere to go
In the Miami heat
We were just kickin' the shit
We were just out havin' fun
We didn't bother no one
Four punks in a park
A big stick in your hand
It was late it was dark
You had to prove your a man
You wear your badge with pride
A gun close by your side
You're just a pig motherfucker
Just a pig
Above the law
You motherfucker
You think you're big
You're fuckin' nothing but a pig
You like to push us around
That's how you have your fun
You're the law in this town
You answer to no one
You swore to serve and protect
But who protects us from you
From me you'll get no respect
It's time to pay your dues
I think back to that night
Out in the cold dark street
I should have put up a fight
But my revenge will be sweet
You pushed too far this time
And I've committed no crime
You're gonna die pig
You're gonna die
In the shadows I hide
A blade close by my side
Under a blanket of night
I keep myself out of sight
Feel my blade at your throat
Now on your own blood you'll choke
Your wound pours out in a flood
I slip and slide on your blood
Your body drops with a thud
I push your face in the mud



Under Your Authority
Hate is what I feel for you
You're always telling me what to do
I punch the clock wish it was you
You've got me under your authority
You motherfucker
Don't you talk down to me
Against the grain I stand
Against authority
Paybacks a bitch
Just you fuckin' wait and see
You've got me under your authority
I'm on the clock your on my ass
I see through you like broken glass
I'd rather be home smoking grass
I'm sick of workin' and sick of you
I hate this job I hate you too
So full of shit you know its true
I nod and smile you talk your shit
In your face
I'm gonna spit
I wanna fuckin' bust your lip
We're not gonna obey
Your stupid fuckin' rules
Workin' everyday
Another one of society's tools
It's time for me to stand and fight
Feel my hate and feel my knife
A smile on my face as I take your life



Court 22
I was raised in a trailer
Always told that I was a failure
Never thought that I would get outta there
My father kicked me out when I shaved my hair
Never fit in with the other kids
Singled out because of where I lived
I learned to fight at an early age
Court 22 my aluminum cage
I got the music the music's got me
The underground sound
Always sets me free
I got beat I got punched and kicked
Cause I didn't fit in their social clique
I never ever felt like I belonged
I thought that everything I did was
Fuckin' wrong
Punk rock was my only escape
A new found spirit no one could break
I turn up the music and feel the beat
It's the only thing I ever want to keep

All Fall Down
the air stings my eyes
the water burns my skin
I've seen the reactions through my actions
but I don't try to change a thing at all
we're taught to close our eyes and conditioned
to believe their lies as we watch them
rape the land and skies to build the
things that own our lives and we'll
never stop were driven by greed we'll
never stop we take more than we need and
they'll never stop the politicians with their
lies the corporations wont compromise still
we refuse to change our lives and - we all
fall down - we do what is convenient for
ourselves without regard for our surroundings
or each other and take what we want and discard
the rest never looking back at the damage
that we've done always moving forward
closer to oblivion
 
12:00 A.M.
It's midnight and she standing on the
corner her time is money and that's fucking up
the order that's right she's crossing all
the borders standing in the shadows
there's nothing else for her she doesn't
know if she's gonna make it through the night
she don't care she's sick and tired of this life
a car rolls up so she shakes her ass the
best she can 5:00 AM in Gould's they found her
stuffed in a garbage can are you gonna
play the roles society wrote for you? don't
play the roles never play the roles - He
never felt right holding down a 9-5 it made
the ends meet but it never made him feel alive
he filled his house with everything he could
buy but more the possessions filled his house
the emptier he felt inside and he cracked
he's in a world that all his own he left it all his
friends his family and his home it's dark outside
Now it's cold it's raining and the wind is blowing
living in a cardboard shack it's the only thing
he calls his own



Justification
How do you sleep at night!? 'cause I lie awake
and burn inside when I think of all the shit
you've done when I think of all the times I've
tried to understand your motives but they
are not justified because you're only thinking
of yourself but your choices affect all our lives
Justify your actions How does it fell to always
think you're right? you're never wrong it's
not your fault well... who's gonna take the blame
tonight? I'm lost again on I-10 but it feels like
home to me I don't know where I'm going but
I know where I want to be



Keep trying
I offer little resistance it's a pitiful existence
your industry is polluting me and my mind and I
can barely find the time to read the signs of
things to come that's what they want you to know
that's what they want another song won't change a thing
a revolution I could sing but that never
changed any fucking thing your contempt and
disregard for human rights outrage us all
I keep tryin' that's all I can do you've made a
mockery of justice with your systems and your
laws



At Our Expense
We're holding banners and
they're holding guns keeping
our rebellion to a minimum as
we watch them gain behind this
barbed wire fence it's so insane
it's at our expense... and the
media distorts the truth...we
never had a choice we never had a voice you make decisions
that affect us all you put us in
a position that we don't belong
all of our resources have been spent
and it's at our expense now you're
punching holes in the sky with
plutonium powered rockets that
fly to probe what can be reached and suck it dry...and it's at our expense
 

Stand in Line
You've worked your whole life and
you've got nothing to show stuck
in your life and you've got caught in the
undertow goin' down and gonna drown and
there's one thing I know I don't wanna
be like you hate yourself and you hate
what you've become and I hate it to and I
hate you and everyone that tries to stand
in my way because I won't succumb
Don't wanna be like you - give up your dreams
and stand in line wasting your life and
you're wasting time give up your dreams
and stand in line - what happened to
all you're hopes and dreams you're not
the same and now it seems you've forgotten
who you once were...that's so routine
Do you brag about it to you friends? how
rebellious you once were when it was the
trend but now it seems so adolescent
to offend...Don't wanna be like you
 

Toby
Toby was a friend of mine I met him back in
high school we had a bottle of liquor and a skate
board ramp there was nothing for us to do
we got ourselves in and out of trouble every fucking
day we had C.S.I. and outdoor suspensions for all
the games that we would play - sometimes I
feel like it's my fault not a day goes by that
I don't see his eyes I'll never understand the
choice that Toby made why did he die - Summer
rolled around I spent my nights getting drunk
and staying out late Toby lived on the other
side of town I didn't see him all summer I
couldn't wait to see him when school let
in I could believe what my friend said their
words still echo in my head suicide... Toby's dead
 

We Don't Need You
Don't ask for what I won't give
watered down rebellion to sell to
the kids I'm frustrated 'cause
I keep myself down but I've been
moved by the movement and
possessed by the sound and we
don't need you because the meaning
gets lost in the translation and
I can't explain it to you
Your motives you can't hide because
I've seen it before and it's like the
rising tide and you say I'm stuck
In the sand plain' basement shows
across the land
 

The Mayhem and the Pain
louie's living with a fire in his blood
and it burns like a mother fucker
I've picked him up off the ground when his
cells were down and now its getting
tougher to stay motivated when the ends
in sight and the world keeps draging you
down everyday is another fight things
aren't the same cause he's not around
sometimes life is like a circle pit you keep
running round and round and sometimes
you just fall down and fall flat on the
ground sometimes life is like a pile of shit
but one thing that stays the same is the
mayhem and the pain that keeps running through
my veins I watched my friend Greg slip away
with a bump and a bottle I watched him decay
I could have tried to stop him yesterday now his ashes
are floating in Biscayne Bay and I listen to the
music we made everytime his face starts
to fade apart of me died in the van that day
on tour I missed his funeral by just one day
 

Louder than Words
you treat the symptoms not the
sickness and condemn a whole
race for the benefits your system's
offering you attack the class and
claim you support their ass and
still you defend the system that
perpetuates your hate your
institutions are corrupt your way
of thinking sucks we've had enough but
our voices go unheard and if we all
screamed "fuck the system" well it's
just a dream if our actions never
speak as loud as our words...louder
than words your ethnocentric and
racial slurs unmask your ignorance
your front is falling down your
contempt for the lower classes on
your soapbox above the masses you
think you're so goddamn profound
 


What the Fuck'd You Expect?
she didn't need him she couldn't feed him
and his father gets drunk and then he
betas them they're livin in a run down
trailer park he slips out of sight when
it gets dark he's just gotta get outta
there he's gotta get away and he doesn't
really care what you think he needs another
drink cause tonight he's getting an arm
full of ink cause got beatin and he'll wear
it on his skin they're more of a family
than home has ever been well what the
fuck`d you expect him to do!? he had no choices
and you have no clue what the fuck`d you expect
him to do in a world full of hate it's nothing new
he found a feeling that he'd never have in
the bottom of a spoon he's moving forward cause
there is no turning back he gotta gat from
a cutler ridge car Jack now he's rolling
down the ave. well what the fuck`d you xpect
him to do!? a nickel rock a gun shot in a
parking lot somebody dropped...well what the
fuck`d you xpect him to get a job like you
when all he ever knew was surving the
streets of goulds we were close when we were
kids but he's gotta be hard cause thats the way he
lives now he's locked in a cage so no one has
to see him he's easy to forget society don't
need him so they had him locked away but were
the ones that pay 'cause they're selling his
image to kids everyday now he's locked in a
cage so no one has to see him he's easy to
forget society don't need him,
 

Daddy's Little Girl
she used to stand with a knife in her hand
at the foot of his bed she wanted him dead
for what he stole from her when she was only 10
now it's 4 years later and it happens much too
much too often her bed he visits when he's drunk
and it feels more like a coffin - and if she gouged
out of his fuckin` eyes would it help him see all
the pain the shame and the fuckin` misery she hates
this fuckin` world she's daddy's little girl
now she's a wreck we can connect I don't know
what she's feelin' she concealed their little
secret but it's more than her body he's stealing
I wanted to die the day she cried in my arms
when she broke down now she flinches when I touch
her and she don't want me around
 

Sk8 Rock
Don't try to understand it
the most destructive high
shoots my nerves into the sky
everybody's lookin' for something
I know just what I need
I'm addicted to the speed
- rent a cops try to stop me I
wanna see you try just want
to skate or die faster than
lightning and out of sight like a
demon in the night - I grab my
skate and catch some air I'm
grinding my life away but I
don't care 'cause skating for me is more
than a feeling run for cover I
hear somebody squealing stupid
rent-a-pig try to make me stop
you better back off or I'll knock
you off your block I'm a prisoner
for life a slave to the grind I slide
into the future and leave my worries
behind
 

Watered Down and Passive
They didn't control you
so they stole you away with
the media and now they're
feeding you out to the
masses now you're watered
down and passive today
 


When the Rain Begins to Fall
Why do you see us as a threat?
Were only helping those that you
forget or maybe you haven't forgotten
the needy at all but their votes
just don't add up so the don't amount
to much at all - shut us up and shut
us down you can't shut us down -
your political agenda has managed
to fail us all and if we organize
ourselves the police will get involved
we'll fight you in your courts and
we'll fight you in your halls we'll
fight you 'till you fuckin` fall!
you can attack food not bombs
you can attack ABC but it won't be
long before you'll have to answer
to us all because you're the scum
thats washed off the streets when
the rain begins to fall.

24 Hour Roadside Resistance
We're under attack
A knife in the back form you
The sirens wail and I'm on my way
Tied to the world with these four strings I play
And they're always out of tune
Gotta list of your needs and wants
24 hour roadside resistance
Is all I got for you
Line 'em up and we'll knock 'em down
All I got is this raging sound
We make and you take what's not bolted down
Just one match will burn this town
And you'd look so pretty with your head on fire
You brought me down but Joe's amplifier
Cut through my body and I'm feeling higher
Association of thieves and liars
Resist- We're under attack
A knife in the back from you
We make our home wherever we lay
I tie my hands with these four strings I play
And I break one every other day
Get your guitar cord and hang 'em high -ALRIGHT!
Like a piñata we'll smash 'em for what's inside
Then I'll be satisfied
You sent us a letter. We wrote you a song
The structure's weak but the message is strong
Waiting in the shadows for you to respond
You lit the fuse. We hold the bomb.


 
Dinkas When I Close My Eyes
Night falls like the silence over Sudan
Where children run like the blood on the sand
And I can taste it like the dust that chokes this land
A government sponsored slavery plan
Lined up like cattle at an auction deprived
Of everything that you and I have ever known
All alone, wearing only the dreams of their far away home
Back to the market
Of endless profit
Impoverished in famine, set me free
A never ending cycle of slavery
A cowardly silence plagues our land, where children are stolen from the Dinka clan
And I can taste smokescreen that chokes this land
A government sponsored slavery plan
Branded like cattle at an auction deprived
Of everything that you and I've ever known
All alone, wearing only the dreams of their far away home
I just want to close my eyes
I don't want to agonize
Over people I don't know
I was asleep until you woke me up
And now I see thee faces
Of these kids in foreign places
When I close my eyes



Pestilent Existence
Systematically populated, Nuclear annihilation
Mind rotting flesh eating cellular infection
Genetically manipulated, human imitation
All staring through my window as I sit here in damnation
I wonder how it's gonna end, If we keep up this pace
Will we progress? Or end the human race
We're destroying our planet, We've fallen from grace
I just can't take it anymore
Take me to this place to
This wall of sound that surrounds me
Ands keeps me bound to the underground
It's in my heart and in my soul
I wanna kill you with my rock and roll
And destroy the forces that control our pestilent existence
Can't take it anymore, don't wanna think about it, it makes me sick
I step outside and all I see is our deterioration
When we're gone all that remains
Will be plastic implantations
And I can't tell the Christians from Satan's congregation
So everyone climb aboard
Nonstop to damnation!
This run away machine
Never slowing down
Someone said "its Entropy" well its too late now
We're far to gone
We keep adding to this pile
Just wanna sit back and listen for a while to this
Wall of sound that surrounds me
Ands keeps me bound to the underground
It's in my heart and in my soul
I wanna kill you with my rock and roll
And destroy the forces that control our pestilent existence
Can't take it anymore, don't wanna think about it, it makes me sick
This pestilent Existence
Humanity's persists in
It grows like a plague
While we whither away



Committing The Truth
Just keep your mouth shut
And don't you try to obstruct us
Your act of conscience protects everyone but now you've lost our trust
And now you're a target for us
Whistleblower, you're a whistleblower
I heard you commit the truth
And we'll deny and we'll dispute it
Your integrity protects us all
But in this institute it just serves to make you a target for us
Cause when you speak out
you will receive no praise and
You will be blacklisted for the lives that you've saved
Cause when you signed up, all your rights were waved
We'll demote, harass, dismiss and intimidate
We know that it's our fault
But you've brought production to a halt
So crawl back home and lick your wounds
And we'll make sure to pack them full of salt
You're just a target for us
Hide this catastrophe
We own the images that you see
There's nothing that you can do
The laws protect the industries
And now you're just a fucking target for us



Nothing To Lose
He's running wild through the streets at night
But he's hiding in the shadows by the break of day
He's got a clip-on Spyderco knife
But it's just for keeping the wolves at bay
It's 2am, fucked up again
He's living in the bottle cause he's living with the pain
Insane, poking his veins, he's standing in the rain
With nothing to lose but everything to gain
Unwanted and unforgiving
He's tired of fighting and he's tired of living here
Swigging beer with nothin' to fear
He's got nothing to lose so he's always winning
He's suffocating, the pain can be excruciating
And liberating, it helps him forget the worlds he's hating
And now he's waiting, there won't be any negotiating
He's got nothing to lose
He's been beaten and he's been bruised
He ain't taking anymore of your abuse
He's had enough of their institutions
And all the rules he was told to obey
They offered him no solutions
So he hit the street before they put him away
In a deprogramming youth care center
To rid him of his insubordinate ways
"You know that boy ain't right" is what you hear his parents say
down on the world and down on his luck
he's got nothing to lose so he don't give a fuck
about shit taking risks in the street throwing bricks
he's got nothing to lose but you've drove him to this
trying hard to forget the past
he's sleeping under the overpass
of 1-95 just trying to survive
just waiting for the moon to arise


 

I Think You Think Too Much
Don't know I'm watching you and every move you make
I know what you do and everything you say
I hear loud and clear and there wont be no escape
For those of you who won't cooperate
So don't stand in our way, obey
Or you'll be taken away
and you will soon be forgotten
mind and body rottin'
and you'll pay for what you do and say
I think you think too much- you think too much
We're watching you
And everything you do and say will come back some day
Just look at this fucking mess you made
Choose carefully the words you wish to speak
Confiscated my zines and my lyric sheets
Detained 8 hours, It was looking bleak
They called the dogs, they called us thieves
We stood and watched in disbelief
They stripped our van to the cold concrete
We pulled away to their defeat
We made it to the show and didn't miss a beat
So sign that line the lies that I create
Will follow you and its unfortunate
You opened your mouth and your words agitate
And freedom of speech we will not tolerate
 


The Next Song
Stand in the crowd with your biggest pose
You hide it well but everybody knows you and
We watch just how you go along
Easily led into battle by the first song
Stalking your prey , single out the weak
And beat them down because you're incomplete
What's in your mind when our eyes are yours
We've seen your image and you're uniform before
What are you trying to gain acceptance to?
I know your eyes and that sure isn't you
We lost another. Run for cover
Cause the next to taste the street might be you
So stop the show and turn on the house lights
So everyone can see a pathetic man fight
Because he feels he lesser, he acts like the aggressor to you
I've see your face in every town
I've see your face in every crowd
Tell us why it is you have to prove
Just how easily the others bruise
So many of us and so few of you
We know your motives and were watching you
We wouldn't miss you of you were gone
Someone would take your place at the beginning of the next song
 

Ugly Desires
So you can't get it up you'd better take you medication
Now you have an oily discharge running down your leg
You're new girlfriend looks like the new sensation
Plastic face and lips hide the feelings of despair
I wanna feel like that
I wanna look like her
I wanna follow the leader and be part of the herd
These ugly desires that were instilled
In you by the companies that made you ill in the first place
So doc do you think I have a problem?
Yea you got lots, but that's ok we'll solve em'
You're just gonna need a series of operations
And take these pills for the rest of your life
A body like Venus
Your soul is on fire
Such a pretty face
With ugly desires
And now you look back on how you used to be
Cause you're new and improved but you're still unhappy
Cause now there's something new on the television
That you want to be
I wanna feel like that
I wanna look like her
I wanna follow the leader and be part of the herd
These ugly desires that were instilled
In you by the companies that made you ill in the first place
 

Killing The Truth
Conspire to control
The masses is your goal
The lies we've bought you've sold
But we're watching you
And every grassy knoll and bell tower too
Who's your next patay
The lies caught up to you
Speak till you're blue in the face
But we'll never believe you
We've weighed the evidence and what we conclude is
He was the victim of a murder conspiracy
A peaceful man with a broken dream to
Unite the black and white
And speak out against a useless fight in
Vietnam then the business man said
We can't have you interrupting our plan to
Kill all the hippies boost the economy
And to control our freedom of speech
In the land of the free
If you stir things up you'll be put to sleep
By the bureau of investigation
They'll plan your annihilation
The click of a sniper trigger
We'll put the blame on a lesser figure
To confuse and distract
Fuck the First Amendment Act
Another victim helps pave the way for you
One bullet made to many holes its true
You can't be trusted. And we can't undo
The things you've made and the things you'll do to the
Do you think I'm trying to undermine the
Authority we've given to you
Or did you take it when you killed the truth
 

Policeman
You want authority
You want a war with me
What motivated you
To reinforce all policy
You want authority
You want a war with me
And any opposition
You suppress for a salary
When I see you I should feel safe
But I don't cause I know just how you take
Advantage - Of your position
The answer - Is sedition
Don't understand so why don't you clue me in
Cause there must be something that you're missing
Somewhere deep within
You say it keeps me free
I have to disagree
We've seen it before
And we'll see it again
You infringe upon the rights
Of those you should defend
 


I'm Weak Inside
Another day in this broke down place
The towers grow and the skies are slowly replaced
With the cold gray structures that lay to waste
Everything that stands in the way
Stare at the ground as I walk on by
You make me sick and I hate what I feel inside
As I lobby for acceptance, you know I've tried
Another life for you to nullify
I'm weak inside because I see the shape of things to come
I'm weak inside because I don't change what's begun
I'm weak inside because I hate what I've become
I'm feeling empty as I struggle with my thoughts each day
Just a drone who contributes to his own decay
An apathist who's sweat and blood grease the wheels for pay
Just a whore for the puppeteer to whom I obey
And nothing changes...No nothing changed today
I close my eyes and keep my mouth shut
Why am I afraid to stand up and knock them down
When I've been betrayed
You've been conditioned to accept everything they say
So I walk on but I start to stumble
Through the ruins of a life that's troubled
By the expectations I'm conditioned to struggle for
My possessions leave me self-absorbed
So many bombs I've left unblown
The streets are crowded and I feel so all alone
Stacking bricks that to this day remain unthrown
Yet I'm the one to cast the first stone
 

Stuck In a Rut
Stuck in a rut with no way out
Cause of a time when things are all about
Being better way back then
And the complacent didn't ask questions
So bow down to your master
And fit the image bound straight for disaster
Enslaved and misled
By the lies that you've been fed
As you lay there in deceit
Caught up in your prefab dream
The molds been forged for you
Compliments of the red,white and blue
To scared to break away
What will they think? What will they say?
If you live your life today
And fuck this American way
Disease! This Disease! With shit up to my knees!!
Spreading across the nation from to filthy sea
Just slavin away at the repetitious mass decay
I did it yesterday and I'll do the same again
Today is day I'm gonna break out
I wanna run through the streets and give a shout
Stay ahead from the sickness that falls on me
So I lessen myself just to stay free
I was choking from a victim right from the start
You can use my body, but you
Can't take my heart and soul away from me
Cause I'm in control of my destiny
 

The Excuse
Well son are you feeling the pressuer yet?
You know where you're from and you best not forget
You can twist and contort it
But I know you'll regret
If you compromise all the blood that you've sweat
And I feel it now when I'm forced to produce
Cause this gift I've been given I've learned to abuse
I've asked for this rope
And I've made a fine noose for myself
It's no excuse, It's no excuse
I heard thy're like assholes
I know I can be one
So I'll be the best one I can be
I won't compromise
I just can't organize
My thoughts with it hovering over me
So we'll scream when we've finished triumphantly
Fuck the deadlines
And you!
 

The Source of Strontium 90
Like a good friend
The shadow from the landfill
Visits my house everyday
The glow from the reactor
Keeps me warm at night
And I always feel safe
That was yesterday
Now they're telling me
That you've exposed me to your sickness
And I know it's just a song
but you can take it and you can stick it
Where the fucking sun don't sunshine
Cause it don't round here no more
And lately I've been inclined
To strike a few different chords
With no apologies
We're going down
With best regards from Turkey Point
You raped the land and sea and sky
And now it's us that you exploit
And I know I shouldn't drink the water
Or breathe too deeply anymore
A stench settles on Princeton
When it rains sometimes
And it's absorbed
Into every pore
And they're telling me
And still they offer no apology
And they show no remorse
The glow from the reactor
Chokes the stars at night
And I know the source

Just An Obstruction
I'm gonna rape your fertile land
And plant my seed in your mother
Fuckin' listen to me
Obey my laws worship my God
Cuz your just an obstruction
And your holding back production
It's a free land of opportunity
Where my people can prosper
So we'll take your land and offer you lies
And take your lives and your land
With one sweep of my hand I'll take it all away
But I've got a solution
To rid our world of this human pollution
Lay down and die
And here's a blanket full of smallpox
To keep your children warm and put a stop to you
Lay down and die
Here's some land not fit for us to live on
It's called a reservation
And we've reserved it just for you
Your obstructing the flow of our progress
And we destroy what we can't control
But I've got a solution
To rid our world of this human pollution
Lay down and die
So have a drink on all of us
And cloud your vision so you're blind to what we do to you
Lay down and die


 
That Way
Here we go again good citizens
Avert your eyes
As the innocent collide
Run and hide as the world sits and watches, hypnotized
Another Belgrade sunset leaving town
Another refugee Macedonia bound
And the bombs still fall tearing the city down
And I want to beat you all black and blue
Cause your not like me
And I ain't nothing like you
And I wanna keep it that way
Facism gaining ground
An effective cleansing
The borders are closing down
The unwanted masses litter the bloodstained ground
And I don't really want to know and I don't care
I've got my own problems and they're over here not there
A good american remains totally unaware
And I want to beat you all black and blue
Cause your not like me
And I ain't nothing like you
And I wanna keep it that way
So give us your tired your poor and your weak
Cause we break ground for a Wal-mart there next week
And I wanna keep it that way



In On Your Joke
?


Bakunin
A repentant nobel man
He vowed to overthrow the land
Horrified by the treatment of the peasants by his fathers hand
He had a vision destruction his creative urge
He lit a fire and it still burns
Mikhail wanted nothing more than liberty
He denounced the church the state and monarchy
He called for an armed revolution
To overthrow their governmental institution
In a world with a dominant minority
Capitalizing off the poor
The immense majority
Consumed with hatred for authority
Enemy of the state, protector of humanity
Eight years of his life were taken from him
Six of those were spent in a dungeon
But he escaped and circled the globe
Once again sticking his neck on the gallows
To oppose the force of tyranny
That keep us locked our classes
Rise up and kick their collective asses
Whatever the form of government may be
A class restricted society
Will be the end result
No reformation without result



Living in Miami
He didn't fit in he always felt rejected
His father hit him and made him feel defective
He got a bottle
It seemed to take the pain away
He's only 15 and he don't know any other way
Always searching, never felt like he belonged
Always hurting, always told that he was wrong
He left home, the streets looked safer
All alone except a quart of Schaffer
All alone and nowhere to go
He feels at home at the punk rock show
And when he's hanging out with his crew
He's living on the streets of Miami
He'd rather die than go home to his family
And that's what he'll do
He doesn't want your pity
Miami can be a cruel city
He's always ready for a fight
He doesn't want your sorrow
Don't wanna think about tomorrow
He only wants to make it through the night
 

When It Comes Down To You
She stands, a target behind the counter
And she burns a little more with evry encounter
Spit on again and again till her eyes are bloodshot
And now they've slowly sunken in
"There's gotta be more to life than this"
She whispers under her breath as she pulls another double shift
She's 21 a single mother of two
And this fucking dead end job barely buys enough food
It's slowly killing me I've gotta go
Cause I can feel my blood pumpin' like the stereo
I've kept it bottled up inside but now it's gonna blow
So... what are you gonna do when it comes down to you
10 years of fuckin' fast food
I've been shot at twice and always talked down to
Unappreciated, misunderstood
Overworked, underpaid, dodging bullets in the hood
One thing I've learned is that this life's not for me
I can never be a functional member of society
The only thing that's been keeping me sane
Is playing these songs cause it eases the pain
 

Nothing To Lose
He's running wild through the streets at night
But he's hiding in the shadows by the break of day
He's got a clip-on Spydarco knife
But it's just for keeping the wolves at bay
2 AM, fucked up again
He's living with the bottle cause he's living with the pain
Insane, poking veins he's standing in the rain
He's go nothing to lose and everything to gain
Unwanted, unforgiving
He's tired of fighting and he's tired of living here
Swigging bear with nothing to fear
He's got nothing to lose... so he's always winning.
He's suffocating - the pain can be excruciating
And liberating - it helps him forget the world he's hating
Now he's waiting - and there won't be any negotiating
He's got nothing to lose, he's been bloodied and he's been bruised
He ain't taking anymore abuse
He's had enough of theirs institutions
And all the rules he was told to obey
They offered no solutions
So he hit the street before they put him away
In a deprogramming youth care center
To rid him of his insubordinate ways
"You know that boy ain't right"
Is what you'll hear his parents say
Down on the world and down on his luck
He's got nothing to lose he don't give a fuck about shit
Takin' risks in the street throwing bricks
With nothing to lose... you drove him to this
Trying hard to forget the past
He's sleeping under the overpass
Of I-95 just trying to survive
Just waiting for the moon to arrive
 

Haymarket Square
No one's gonna hold them down today
They're ready to fight for their rights
On May 3rd, 1886
Chicago burned with the fire they lit
The workers were on strike cause money's tight
The pigs were out and looking for a fight
They opened fire into the crowd
A worker was hit and he went down
No one's gonna hold them down
No! They're gonna burn this fuckin' town
August spies denounced capitalism
But he urged no violence
He was addressing a crowd of workers
The pigs ordered him silenced
A bomb was thrown and the silence wailed
A pig laid dead and 8 were jailed
That day the system failed
You know it never fails
If you think you can crush these ideas
That are gaining ground more each day
If death is the penalty for proclaiming truth
Then I'll proudly and defiantly pay
Four men were sentenced to death
To set an example to all the rest
Who would dare to stand and protest
The injustices we all detest
 

Sacco and Vanzetti
"Long live anarchy!" were Sacco's last words
Their cries of freedom were supressed and they were never heard
Guilty only of their beliefs, and their foreign births
No solid concrete evidence of being guilty...cause they weren't
In an atmosphere of instense hostility
The system made it clear - because of your beliefs you'll receive no pity
In defiance of worldwide protest and appeals
They were electrocuted, their only crimes were their ideals
"Only with liberty can men rise and be complete
We're the black cats and the terror of many" to all oppressors we bring defeat!
They held true to their beliefs until the bitter end
Their pointless fucking execution was some kind of sick revenge!
Fuck You!
 

Alba
Black beans on the stove, malta in my hands
Tears in Alba's eyes as she dreams of a far away land
"I've been stripped of my country, I've been spit on by my race"
I said "It'll be okay!" as I wiped a tear from her face
And she said "No quieroir la mentira que vivo aqui!"
"Yo quiero volver a mi pais!"
"You'll never know the pain that I feel inside
I've been stripped of my country and robbed of my pride
I don't know where I'm gonna go but I don't belong here!"
 


Threat
 ?



Hard As Fuck
One day I decided to pray
I kneeled down & looked to the sky
I asked God why is life so hard
He turned his back & I started to cry
You turn your back on me
So I turn my back on you
Fuck your system and fuck you too
You tell me to follow your rules
Well how the fuck do you expect me to obey them
When you can't even follow them yourself
You're just trying to keep me down
 

Centerfold
Does she walk? does she talk? does she come complete?
My homeroom angel always pulled me from my seat
She was pure like snowflakes, no one could ever stain
The memory of my angel could never cause me pain
Years go by, I'm looking through a girlie magazine
And there's my homeroom angel on the pages in between
My blood runs cold, my memory has just been sold
My angel is a centerfold, Angel is a centerfold (x2)
Slipping notes under the desk
While I was think about her dress
I was shy, I turned away before she caught my eye
I was shaking in my shoes, whenever se flashed those baby blues
something had a hold on me when Angel passed close by
those soft fuzy sweaters, too magical to touch
I see her in that neglige is really just too much
My blood runs cold, my memory has just been sold
My angel is a centerfold, Angel is a centerfold (x2)
Now listen... its okay, I understand
this ain't no never-never land
I hope that when this fish is gone
I'll see you when your clothes on
take your car, yes we will, we'll take your car and drive it
Take it to a motel, and take'em off in private
a part of me has just been wrecked
the pages from my mind are stripped,
oh no! I can't deny it. oh yeah I got to buy it
Alright! alright! 1 2 3 4...
My blood runs cold, my memory has just been sold
My angel is a centerfold, Angel is a centerfold (x2)
 

Above The Law
Couldn't get in the show
Hangin' out in the street
We had nowhere to go
In the Miami heat
We were just kickin' the shit
We were just out havin' fun
We didn't bother no one
Four punks in a park
A big stick in your hand
It was late it was dark
You had to prove your a man
You wear your badge with pride
A gun close by your side
You're just a pig motherfucker
Just a pig
Above the law
You motherfucker
You think you're big
You're fuckin' nothing but a pig
You like to push us around
That's how you have your fun
You're the law in this town
You answer to no one
You swore to serve and protect
But who protects us from you
From me you'll get no respect
It's time to pay your dues
I think back to that night
Out in the cold dark street
I should have put up a fight
But my revenge will be sweet
You pushed too far this time
And I've committed no crime
You're gonna die pig
You're gonna die
In the shadows I hide
A blade close by my side
Under a blanket of night
I keep myself out of sight
Feel my blade at your throat
Now on your own blood you'll choke
Your wound pours out in a flood
I slip and slide on your blood
Your body drops with a thud
I push your face in the mud
 

We Won't Submit
You can close you eyes and pretend that everything's fine
but sooner or later you'll open your eyes
and reality will strike you blind
They're stealing all our money
and desroying all our scene
We're working hard to make them rich
with their get rich corporate schemes
We won't submit
They're full of shit
I'd rather die
Then live a lie
You bust your ass every week
you think that you are free
I want to take a fuckin' gun
and shoot them in the head
cause I won't rest until the day
that I look out and see
the lawyers and the politicians
all lying around dead
Punks unite, show some might
don't go down without a fight
don't backdown, stand your ground
Let's go out and burn this town
we'll skank all night at the sight
of the city burning bright
All around you'll hear the sound
of the town burning down
Open your eyes, you work for the system
You're a tool, I can't take the lies
And if you believe them you're a fool
Can't you hear the cries
from the working class
the ones you rule
and you cannot hide
because we'll find you
It's time for us to fight
against everything that you stand for
Time to feel our might
gonna kick your ass and even the score
Burn everything in sight
break all of your windows
loot your stores
Gonna start tonight
We're hard to the core
It's time for you to pay
for the rotten shit that you have done
We won't fade away
our hate will burn you like the sun
We will seize the day
it's time for us to have some fun
We are here to stay
until we've fuckin won
We're running out into the streets
to pick up sticks and stones
We'll wait outside your fuckin' house
and break your fuckin' bones
We won't listen to reason
cause it makes no sense at all
We will bring you fuckin' down
and make you fuckin' fall


Court 22
I was raised in a trailer
Always told that I was a failure
Never thought that I would get outta there
My father kicked me out when I shaved my hair
Never fit in with the other kids
Singled out because of where I lived
I learned to fight at an early age
Court 22 my aluminum cage
I got the music the music's got me
The underground sound
Always sets me free
I got beat I got punched and kicked
Cause I didn't fit in their social clique
I never ever felt like I belonged
I thought that everything I did was
Fuckin' wrong
Punk rock was my only escape
A new found spirit no one could break
I turn up the music and feel the beat
It's the only thing I ever want to keep


Under Your Authority
Hate is what I feel for you
You're always telling me what to do
I punch the clock wish it was you
You've got me under your authority
You motherfucker
Don't you talk down to me
Against the grain I stand
Against authority
Paybacks a bitch
Just you fuckin' wait and see
You've got me under your authority
I'm on the clock your on my ass
I see through you like broken glass
I'd rather be home smoking grass
I'm sick of workin' and sick of you
I hate this job I hate you too
So full of shit you know its true
I nod and smile you talk your shit
In your face
I'm gonna spit
I wanna fuckin' bust your lip
We're not gonna obey
Your stupid fuckin' rules
Workin' everyday
Another one of society's tools
It's time for me to stand and fight
Feel my hate and feel my knife
A smile on my face as I take your life


Ska Sucks
Ska sucks
Ska revival isn't cool you stupid fuck
The bands are only in it for the bucks
And if you don't believe me you're a schmuck
But the trend will die out with any luck
Yo Ho. Yo Ho.
Rudy, a message to you Rudy, a message to you Rudy
Fuck you Rudy!
