High Hopes
When you're on your high horse and things aren't going your way you really don't appreciate what you wanted bad yesterday.
But if I lost it - I'd still be the same It won't break my spirit - I'll look ahead just the same Times are hard it's true - I'll cope
But it won't get me down cause I got - High Hopes
When you're on the bottom the place to look is up When things are getting better, don't say enough What you achieve - that's for you to choose You can always - regain what you lose
Something shitty happens and it hurts - I'll cope It's time we all had - High Hopes
Some people can't rebound when hardship hits their life When they lose something they love and their friend's holding the knife. Pick up your head, get off the ground These High Hopes that I have keep me from getting down.
Big Mouth
Friendship - To you it means nothing Time and time again you betray friends With lies - and your gossip The stories you tell can hurt like hell!
It's your big mouth and it's getting on my nerves you know I wish you'd just shut it up It's your big mouth and the shit that comes out has nothing to do with what you're talking about
You know I want to trust you but I can't Your word's not given, it's lent. My advice to you - is to start somewhere why don't you shut the fuck up now -
It's your big mouth and it's getting on my nerves you know I wish you'd just shut it up. It's your big mouth and the shit that comes out has nothing to do with what you're talking about
No Reason Why
You're always on my back about what I mean to do and all your talk is bothering me just wait until I'm through I walk down to the corner store to catch up with my friends They're puffin smoke high on dope, will this shit ever end?
I go down to the matinee such stupid shit I see as middle class suburban kids grubbin money off of me Tough guys starin pickin fights with new kids & with old These attitudes help nobody the guilty should be told and we'll tell 'em
No Reason Why - to beat up on a poser skin No Reason Why - to keep the little kids from getting in No Reason Why - to take advantage of the people you know No Reason Why - there's just no reason why.
Hold Your Ground
A step apart, I don't fit In with my peers, but I don't give a shit Laughed at in the streets of my town Their laughter hurts, but I'll hold my ground
Hold Your...GROUND Hold Your...Hold Your Ground
It's time to stand up, for what you believe Have no fear of your critics Be proud of the life you lead You may be different from your friends but if their true they'll understand
Hold your ground - Be yourself and be the best you can Step Out!
Conformity, the easy way to be accepted I'd rather be outcast any day. It's hard to be yourself with all the pressures coming down, It takes a strong fucking person to hold your ground.
Hold You...GROUND Hold Your...Hold Your Ground
Breaking Free
Mourning for what? A lost friend I don't need. I never pressured you to live the way that I do You're tied for last in a one man race, You shoved your views in my face. I don't like it!
Why does shit like this tear friends apart, apart - a flip of a coin, that's what you are We must work together and I'm working hard To see the good in everyone I'll see that justice will be done It's my lifestyle that you slag, once my friend now just a drag, A fuckin drag
I'm breaking free of friendships dead, I need your fucking guidance like a hole in the head. You look to me for sympathy, you had your chance, now let me fucking be, Let me be I'm Breaking Free
Finish What You Started
Sometimes I just see what I want to be. We started off right tried to unite lost our sight - Now it all bites
What you want - I don't want What you need - I don't need Want to fight - See the light Punch him out - he'll just bleed
Finish what you started be open hearted Don't be retarded just finish what you started
I feel we've broken promises made to those who've paved the way our music and scene I wish it could be attitude free where nobody's mean.
Hold Your Ground
A step apart, I don't fit In with my peers, but I don't give a shit Laughed at in the streets of my town Their laughter hurts, but I'll hold my ground
Hold Your...GROUND Hold Your...Hold Your Ground
It's time to stand up, for what you believe Have no fear of your critics Be proud of the life you lead You may be different from your friends but if their true they'll understand
Hold your ground - Be yourself and be the best you can Step Out!
Conformity, the easy way to be accepted I'd rather be outcast any day. It's hard to be yourself with all the pressures coming down, It takes a strong fucking person to hold your ground.

New Direction
What do you mean it's time, time for me to grow up? I don't want any part. It's right to follow my heart. The new kids ran, ran ou tht back door fast, and the bands that came before they had their noses in the air. Pretending that they care about our scene just because our money's green. I'll tell you stage dives make me feel more alive than coded messages in slowed down songs.
Now you're so ashamed, now I'm so ashamed of you. We believe the same things. You stand to the side. Rebirth of hardcore pride. It all came true, too bad you can't see all the good things that I see.
Back in, back in the days when I'd wait to see the old bands play. It didn't seem like wasted days. I was so sincere, but now I see more clearly. Music's only work to them. It's not to me. So I say hats off to bands that change. Good luck, go your own way. Why play for us if your heart's not in it? Cause what might seem dumb to you is pounding in my heart.
Now you're so ashamed, now you're so ashamed of you. We believe the same things. You stand to the side. Rebirth of hardcore pride. It all came true. Too bad you can't see. No, you just can't fucking see it.
Now you just turn your back. You said I don't want it anymore. Old friends you attack. Our pain out of touch. You don't get it do you? New stage, new ideas. You don't have to make excuses for us. Sitting there looking back, I'm scared. Don't spoil memories of the way things were.
Stand Still
Sitting down on a couch, you watch, a fucking slave to a TV show. You thought before but you sat and dropped. What did you learn? You don't even know, and I kid myself but my eyes are glued on this thing.
It steals my time and wastes what I've learned. I'm holding out for a better deal, for something real. You know I'd like to say that I could spend a day at home with it left off. How strong's our will?
I can't blend with the ads I see. They're better looking than me. You try to look your best, but you'll never rest. Think, it won't make you happy.
A standard set that I just cannot live up to. It steals my time and wastes what I've learned. I'm holding out for a better deal, for something real. You know I'd like to say that I could spend a day at home with it left off. How strong's our will?
Our lives are led by TV shows, you know it's true. Instead of thinking we play Donkey Kong. There's something wrong with that. We're made to think life's like a game show. So there we go again. The one to die with the most toys is the one who wins.
I just can't stand it.
Sitting down on a couch, you watch, a fucking slave to a TV show. You thought before but you sat and dropped. What did you learn? You don't even know. It's a brain vacation. A mental masturbation.
It steals my time and wastes what I've learned. I'm holding out for some reality. I'd like to say that I could spend a day at home with it left off. How strong's our will?
Degradation
Tell me who's pure. Tell me who's right. Tell me the last time you fought a fair fight. A loser's way to find some friends, you look like a skin but that's where it ends. True, they're always at our shows, It doesn't mean we fit in with their hatred and racism shit. They ruin our name, you know what I mean. Racial supremicists degrade our scene.
You know you can kiss my ass before I read your zine. There's no good side to this white power scene. Kids beat down for standing up. Your turn will come because we've all had enough. You look like kids we know. You're not welcome here. You don't like music and we don't like fear. I guess it's your right to be proud that your white. Are you here for music or just to pick fights.
Don't fool yourself cause you don't fool me. It's not just black you hate, it's everyone you see. Rich, poor, young, and old, whoever's in your way. What a boring life, hating every day.
YOU'VE GOT NOTHING BUT HATRED!
Good Intentions
Things I try don't work out. Other people gripe and shout. That's not positive. I'm not perfect. I'm just Civ.
Trial and error...Good Intentions!
Throw a beer at the stage, that's how you behave. Paid admission, had no fun. You think I'm the stupid one.
Think again...Good Intentions!
I'll just try my best...and you? Nothing.
Forgotten
Dedicated to your cause look at all the friends you lost. Discarded because I'm no more use. Our tight friendship is hanging loose. Stepping on the people who were getting all the things you wanted. Now you got them, we're forgotten. No need.
For token interest in my life. Don't make amends, don't even try. Guilty Conscience? Maybe not. You just want more of what I got. Stepping on the people who were getting all the things you wanted. Now you go them, we're forgotten.
Try and think why you carry on this way. It's not you talking, It's your greed I hear. Nothing means nothing if you're insincere.
I don't know why you decide I'm not worth calling up. Things have changed between you and me. We don't hang out but that's ok.
Things We Say
Humor's got a place like all things. Be aware of the pain it can sometimes bring. A joke to you might not be so funny, so take the time and think it out before you open up your mouth.
I can't believe the things we saw. A cutting word can ruin days. I can't believe the things we say. Now I wish I hadn't spoken. Can't you learn to take a fucking joke.
We say things we don't mean but friends understand. Strength and humor don't always go hand in hand. A joke to you might not be so funny, so take the time and think it out before you open up your mouth.
I can't believe the things we say. A cutting word can ruin days. I can't believe the things we say. Now I wish I hadn't spoken. Can't you learn to take a fucking joke.
But no ones laughing. I wish I could crack a smile, but I can't. I know he's such a fucking jerk. But jerks hurt too, and I'm not that cool that I can laugh. I see because it's happened to me and I think I was an asshole when I said what I said. It's just a sick sense of humor rolls around in my head. Cause we've had our fun at your expense and that's wrong. And we know it. You said we were friends. For friendship's sake, let's give it a break.
I can't believe the things we say. A cutting word can ruin days. I can't believe the things we say. Now I wish I hadn't spoke. Can't you learn to take a fucking joke!
Start Today
Yesterday you were on my back just to get my time. I guess it's not as precious as it seems. Because I found the time for hangin out and talkin on the phone. What should I expect, now that my time is free and you're nowhere to be found.
Next time I'll try, for the first time in my life. It won't pass me by. Procrastinate it can wait, I put it off. LET'S START TODAY
My room's a mess and I can't get dressed. I gotta be out by eight o'clock. Deep inside I know the answer. Well there's no time like the present and I'd like to hang out but who doesn't. I've made enough mistakes for this lifetime. Now I'm here to make amends.
Next time I'll try, for the first time in my life. It won't pass me by. Procrastinate it can wait, I put it off. START! STOP!
Two Sides
Some people think they're always right and right is all they'll ever be. Well there's two sides and egos divide. And we're so concerned with who's right.
There people are so quick to judge. Let's get the judgement straight. It's not who's wrong it's how we get along. And I'm not too sure that we do yet.
TRUTH is a word that you're sure of. It's all you said but I'd love to see you give someone else a chance.
Open up, it's not so hard. Is hard what you want to be to kick some ass. It's a sure bet you'll get your way, but with no friends left.
Don't say you know what I'm about, because you don't. For God's sake give me a fucking break. You don't even know my name.
TRUTH is a wor that you're sure of. It's all you said but I'd love to see you give someone else a chance.
I listen to the things you say, I've weighed the facts out in my head. Can you do the same...No, then don't waste my time.
TRUTH is a word that you're sure of. It's all you said but I'd love to see you give someone else a chance.
This time my mind is set. My side you'll never get.
What I say. What did you say. We can both be right just not in the same way. You think we could reach some common ground...No...no way.
First Failure
I've worked so hard on things that never seemed to pay off. But looking back I realize they never really meant that much. And if I let you down, it might not be the last time. I'm sorry, and I know how it feels when my eyes see a loser in the mirror. I think "What did I do?" Sure I fucked up, but I got back up, so that loser shit's out the window.
And if I let you down, it might not be the last time. Cheer up, it will hurt much less tomorrow. We're all tired of fucking up and that's not just being sorry. It means brush the dirt off, get up and try again.
When you're sick of trying, how can you expect to succeed? I can't recall my first failure, and I'll forget this one too over time.
And if you've been let down and if it's not the first time, cheer up, it will hurt much less tomorrow. We're all tired of fucking up and that's not just being sorry. It means brush the dirt off, get up and try again.
Competition
It seems that all successful things and all the envy that they bring might not be worth it. Being shot down every minute for the effort you've spent. The key to success is the faith in knowing you're right.
Memories of better days is what you're holding on to, when the critics loved you. Competition has it's way of bringing youd own.
Always being number one, robs the music of it's fun. Ego trips get in the way of the goals we've set. Now the audience is split. We've worked too hard to watch it ALL FADE AWAY.
Memories of better days is what you're holding on to, when the critics loved you. Competition has it's way of making you mad. Why can't you be glad...for me.
Well I know what competition means and the feelings that it brings. Friends that want to be on top, you're on the list of friends to drop. Success is what I want to feel, at your expense it isn't real, it's jealousy...and jealousy's not true. No it's not true...at your expense. In competition with you.
Time Flies
I'm lucky to be where I am today. Not by myself, summer's on the way. The jobs I'll be working, the money I'll spend, not making a living, just making new friends. And I'm trying my hardest to make the most out of every minute. Not getting any younger, getting older. It's scary.
Swept out from under your feet your youth's gone and you wonder why...BECAUSE TIME FLIES
How much does it cost the booze and drugs you need. Put your life on pause. Is it that much fun, maybe for some. I think it's dumb to let anyone or anything slow me down or prevent me from living my life. Not getting younger getting older. It's scary. Swept our from under your feet your youth's gone and you wonder why.
Work machine makes us old before our time. I don't consent that's how I feel. Because life's too short, so I do what I can to get by. I'll decide where my time is spent and you can bet there'll be a smile on my face. How about yours? How about yours.
Cats And Dogs
Man's best friend is a beautiful and affectionate and ideal pet. Cats are the same, we make up their names and our love for them is real. Listen up, I gotta ask it, how can we be so cruel? You say you care, that's a lie. My true compassion is for all living things and not just the ones who are cute so I do what I can. I wanna save lives and I've got a plan.
Under the table he'll eat your dinner like the veggies we can't stand. What kind meal would he make? We don't want to ask it. Tradition is all that keeps him alive. Listen up, I gotta ask it, how can we be so cruel? You say you care, that's a lie. My true compassion is for all living things and not just the ones who are cute so I do what I can. I wanna save lives and I've got a plan.
Why am I so upset. Don't even own a pet. I am not trying to press my will. I am not the first to say...THOU SHALT NOT KILL
Full is all you want to feel. We eat to stay alive, but it's their lives we steal. I think we'd like to change, but most of us are stuck, that's why cats and dogs have ALL THE LUCK.
