Expectations 
Please don't expect too much from me
I may not turn out how you want me to be
I'm sorry if I let you down
but I must decide where my future's bound
why don't you just slacken up
off my back your expectations are too much
off my back instead of just letting me be
you've got your goals set for me
I wish you could really be
happy with the real me
Crucial Times
I'm glad to see the scene working so tight
a positive commitment we made to unite
but there's still one thing that bothers me the most
the rest of this world just isn't this close
End in sight We must fight Crucial times
there's a youth crisis
you better start to care
hundreds of kids going nowhere
so many kids not in the scene
let's spread our message
tell them what we mean!
I Have Faith
Can't get down I've seen the light
I made the choice and chose the right
I'll put in trust take out the hate
don't tell me I can't cause I have faith
I have faith in people they have faith in me
I have faith in my society
If you've got a problem put your trust in me
I'll never pretend that I can't see
I have faith in the human race
the world's got problems
the world's got fears
but my trust in people
makes me not scared
the world's got riots
the world's got fights
but I trust people will see the light
Youth Of Today
The kids will make it happen we're starting a new way
people helping people In the world today
Physically strong morally straight positive youth
We're the Youth Of Today !
Never fight with each other
use our heads before our fists
then we'll kick down all the barriers
of hate and prejudice
live fast die young
was just a fad
for a bunch of losers
who didn't care
I'm gonna live my life
breathe every breath
look towards the future
and move straight ahead
Take A Stand
Say how you feel be who you want be for real
voice your opinion just don't sit still speak your mind
at your free will Take a stand
your ground don't let the world push you around
Positive Outlook
Through the clouds I see the light
my conscience tells me what's wrong and right
morals and goals deep inside
a bunch of feelings I can't hide
but that's me
it's the way I live
my outlook on life is positive!
so why should I hide or try to conceal
all of these feelings that I feel
I like to sit and talk about them
I want to stand and shout them
Can't Close My Eyes
When I see violence on the street
when I see a friend getting beat
when I see youth so unaware
can't close my eyes pretend I don't care
Can't close my eyes
when I see an unfair fight
something tells me it's not right
can't let these problems go unsolved
won't close my eyes, I'll get involved
We Just Might
You come drunk to the shows
looking for a fight stumble my way
Maybe we might
why do you act that way
I can't guess take a look at yourself
you're a mess you say you Wanna fight
We just might
stoned as a zombie your eyes are red
head for the dance floor you're as good as dead
Youth Crew
Me you youth crew!
if the world was flat I'd grind the edge
to the positive youth my heart I pledge
X on my hand now take the oath
to positive youth to positive growth
to positive minds, to pure clean souls
these will be all my goals
walk with me and my crew
there is so much shit we can do
and we won't stop until we're through

Youth Of Today
Make A Change
I see it on the streets as we walk right by
what little value we place on human live
but it's time we get priorities It's time to rearrange
won't turn away any longer it's time we make a change
people so cold they ignore others pain
people too proud to realize that we're the same
but it's time we get priorities It's time to rearrange
won't turn away any longer it's time we make a change
Thinking Straight
Life's filled with many paths which one should I take
when the choice comes I won't run I'll be thinking straight
life's filled with conflicts we'll face we'll overcome them thinking straight
experiments with your mind you see things I can't see
well no thanks, friend because now it ends when you push that shit on me
my mind is free to think and see strong enough to resist temptation
we've been strong for all these years
life gets rough so we'll stand tough and confront all our fears
Stabbed In The Back
We were brothers you and me loyal to our hardcore scene
our thought our aims our goals were true
then something happened to you you changed
stabbed in the back
I remember all the things that you said shit you said
I guess it was just a bunch of lies fucking lies
stabbed us all in the back right in the back
don't you dare look me in the eyes
all we stood for, all our dreams you've forgotten what they mean
I tell you this my thoughts are real and I'll never change the way I feel
Take A Stand
I see you hide do you have pride afraid to share what's inside
you've been walked right by a real nice guy overlooked and shoved aside
can't hear your voice back in the crowd move up front and shout out loud
take a stand take a stand say what you feel
be who you want, but be for real voice your opinion don't just sit still
speak your mind at your free will
take a stand stand your ground don't let the world push you around
take a stand stand your ground don't let the world push you around
take a stand take a fucking stand take a stand
Honesty
You steal and take from everyone else do you feel good about yourself
Instead of taking try to give and then you'll feel good about the way you live
honesty need some honesty
too many of us filled with greed overlooking those who need
open your eyes and change your ways open your heart and break away
honesty
One Family
I have so much hope and anticipation for the future generations
I think kids today are growing up smart with open minds and open hearts
we can do it we'll put our heads to it and then we'll be one family
a world filled with racial stress but it seems every year less and less
those old fashioned standards are going away tomorrow will be a brighter day
we can do it we'll put our heads to it and then we'll be one family
so if you agree and want to help first you must look inside yourself
because unity begins with just us two then we'll watch it spread to all of you
we can do it we'll put our heads to it and then we'll be one family In the end.
Break Down The Walls
I used to think that labels were just symbols of pride
but over time I've seen they only served to divide
It's so easy to judge people by the way them seem to be
We must overcome this problem to live life peacefully
Break Down The walls!
yes,we´ll break down the walls
look beyond the fashion or the crowd that they are in
look beyond their riches or the color of their skin
look beyond appearance and the truth you will find
look for what's inside before you make up your mind
break Down The walls
yes, we'll break down the walls
Shout It
Not on this stage to take up space I'm here to communicate face to face
I'll hold my head up high and shout it look you in the eye and shout it
hold my head up high shout it look you in the eye and shout it
criticized for speaking out I guess you don't know what we're about
so I'll hold my head up high and shout its look you in the eye shout it
hold my head up high shout it look you in the eye and shout it
we're just some friends who want to be heard through out music we'll spread our word
trying our best to figure what life is about seeing the good makes me want to shout
shout it there's nothing wrong with saying my part the message I cry is from the heart
won't change my ideas just to please you you've built the walls we're breaking through
Time To Forgive
In the back of my mind it keeps me on edge
s soul filled with love but I can't help but feel contempt instead
so let's forget the past and the grudges that we hold
If we don't do it soon you know it will explode
let's shape a better way of life time to forgive
I'm sorry for the bottled up anger what was it about
It's time to forgive I'm glad that it's all over now
Positive Outlook
Through the clouds I see the light my conscience tells me
what's wrong and right morals and goals deep inside
a bunch of feelings I can't hide but that's me
It's the way I live my outlook on life is positive
so what should I hide or try to conceal all of these feelings
that I feel like to sit and talk about them I want to stand and shout them
Standing Hard
Proud of who I am what I say and what I do proud of who I am
what I say and what I do I'm standing fucking hard
Free At Last
This world is filled with competition and greed
a disgusting way of life but we'll try to break free free at last
we've got to break free We'll try no we'll do it
the monotonous lives of the working class we'll never fall into that rut
we'll keep fighting until we are free at last
Youth Of Today
The kids will make it happen we're starting a new way
people helping people In the world today
physically strong morally straight positive youth
we're the Youth of Today never fight with each other
use our heads before our fists then we'll kick down all the barriers
of hate and prejudice live fast die young was just a fad
for a bunch of losers who didn't care I'm gonna live my life
breathe every breath look towards the future
and move straight ahead
We're Not In This Alone LP
Flame Still Burns
Slow Down
Choose To Be
Put It Aside
Wake Up And Live
No More
What Goes Around
Potential Friends
A Time We'll Remember
Live Free
Understand
Prejudice
Keep It Up
Flame Still Burns
Made their threats ruin your name
thought I was broken but the spirit remains
and this flame will keep on burning strong
and I will continue to sing this song
bad-mouthed behind us, taken their shots
but this tattered body will never be stopped
and this flame will keep on burning strong
and I will continue to sing this song
we've heard it all before
and we're ready for some more
if you think I'm gonna break it's
gonna take more than what you've got
don't count me out cause I've got some more
and I'm back with more strength and vigor than before
and this flame will keep on burning strong
and I will continue to sing this song
my feelings in the music and the words
are written in stone, and I know I'm not singing this song alone
Slow Down
Lost the time to live no time to take
caught in a cycle that won't give you a break
tensions running high I can see it in your eyes
you call that success I call it a lie
Slow down
I've got to slow down cause I want
to see all of what this world has to offer me
take a break appreciate
before this lifetime slips away
Slow down
try to think back a long time ago
when life was for living and the pace was slow
wasn't it worth it Will you stay
I hope I don't let it slip away
Slow down
Choose To Be
Not gonna keep up my guard to prove I'm hard
or put on some act to earn your respect
cause that's not the type of life I want to live
and that's not the type of energy I want to give
I guess I'm not cool according to you
for having some friends who don't seem to fit in
well that's not the type of life I want to live
and that's not the type of energy I want to give
I guess you don't see cause you seem to be
real tough but living in misery
well that's not the type of life I want to live
and that's not the type of energy I want to give
Put It Aside
Maybe I shouldn't have spoken
just kept my mouth shut
maybe all the effort didn't help much
singing for better conditions
hoping for better days
not saying that we're perfect
or looking for some praise
Gossip, rumors just plain lies
but we're on the same side
Gossip, rumors let's put it aside
Fuck we're on the same side
knowing if I stumble
aware if I fall
I don't need finger pointed at me
if you're not trying at all
not trying to come off righteous
just always tried to be sincere
didn't mean to come off so well-learned
cause I'm just another peer
gossip, rumors just plain lies
but we're on the same side
gossip, rumors let's put it aside
fuck we're on the same side
I know what I'm shooting for (PUT IT ASIDE)
I know how it felt
and I don't have to prove it to anybody
because I already proved it to myself
no matter where I am in this world
I know exactly where I stand
I thought we were on the same side man
but at least I know I've tried
Wake Up And Live
Wake up and live
Wake up and live your life see what there is to see
I won't sit around all day cause life means more to me
wake up and live
so many kids content to sleep their lives away
but I'm gona try to make the most out of this day
wake up and live
it takes some motivation It takes some love for life
why just sit complacent and let life pass you by
boredom is a choice I choose not to make
unlock that door, strive for more
there's a better path to take
WAKE UP AND LIVE breath every breath
WAKE UP AND LIVE until my death
WAKE UP AND LIVE so much to do
WAKE UP AND LIVE all of you
c'mon, open your eyes
No More
Meat eating flesh eating think about it
so callous to this crime we commit
always stuffing our face with no sympathy
what a selfish, hardened society so
No More
just looking out for myself
when the price paid is the life of something else,
No More
i won't participate
we've got the power we've got the might
to take whatever is in sight
not even worried, it's an unfair fight
well we've got a heart to tell us what's right
our numbers are doubling in 88
cause the people are starting to educate
themselves their friends and their families
and we'll have a more conscious society
What Goes Around
A half-ass commitment, a casual act
shows me the decency that you lack
you're fucking with feelings and fucking with heads
and live for the moment is all that you've said
what goes around comes around
so watch yourself cause you're falling down
abusing, misusing you're out of control
your mind, spirit and body will take their toll
a slave to your senses, I see nothing more
cause temporary pleasure is what you strive for
taken what you've wanted, stepped on what's in your way
but there will be a price that you'll have to pay
easy acquaintances, broken friends
happy now but the loser in the end
broken promises, broken hearts
walk away when the pain starts
you take what's yours you still want more
if you only knew what's in store
Potential Friends
Here I sit so fucking shy
wondering what's going through your mind
or what you're even like
as time ticks quickly by
a life so short, incomplete
so many people I'd like to meet
feeling awkward, afraid
potential friends I could've made
why do we keep to ourselves
and not dare to leave our fucking shells
let our feelings and emotions blend
we could be the best of friends
A Time We'll Remember
This is a time that we can live our dreams
and a time so pure, at least it seems
a simple life, a modest one
where money plays a minor role
and I pray and I'll try to keep this spirit inside me
as I start to grow old
this is an era of creativity
good music and good friends
and the dreams that we reach for
seem to be at the tips of our hands
and it's getting too late to appreciate
and it soon will be the past
but I'll still have these memories
but why can't they fucking last
maybe they can
this is a time, this is a time we'll remember
this is a time with lots of hope
and very little fear
and a time where every move we make seems so sincere
but when the song is sung and the moment's gone
only you'll know all we've shared
and I hope that you can rekindle too
this same feeling in the air
This is a time we can remember
Live Free
Waving your flag a blind patriot
can no longer see cause your eyes are shut
love it or leave it is your sentiment
instead of working for improvement
but I want to live free
and won't settle for this mediocrity
waving your flag, we're number one
society's got you under their thumb
too ignorant too see through their subtle attack
to make us content but we must fight back
you don't love your country
you just love yourself
because you sit complacent
like everyone else
if your fights for freedom
then do what's right
put down that flag, protest and come join the fight
Understand
I'm caught in a rage I'm ready to fight
my stance is so strong but I've lost my clear sight
your thoughts and your actions make me want to attack
but I'll try to understand i'll try to step back
takes more strength to put down your hands
I've fought before and I know I can
I don't want to get hostile I'd rather understand you
and try to figure out why you do what you do
cut out that act better step back
you know we can understand
you feel it inside you know it's not right
when you know we can understand each other
Prejudice
Arguing your point about which race is best
think you've got some insight well it's just prejudice
and the more that you argue the more mad you get
well I don't want to fill myself with hate like that
you're prejudice just look at you
you're prejudiced and you're gonna be judged too
You've taken your stance, you've split us apart
let's see how many bad feelings you can start
trying to make hatred seem real cool
keep talking those facts you come off the fool
you're prejudice just look at you
you're prejudiced and you're gonna be judged too
unite the race what listen
we may be the same race but we're not the same [ PREJUDICE ]
you're cowards looking for someone else to blame
and you're just a few cause most are too smart
to listen to all the shit that you start
Keep It Up
You know it causes more problems you're not happy at all
every time you indulge you realize you fall
all that you've learned don't take the wrong turn
if you keep it up you're gonna get burned
KEEP IT UP Go ahead KEEP IT UP KEEP IT UP II hope you don't KEEP IT UP
A position of respect live up to it
you never liked the trend, that's why you quit
you know what is wrong you know that you're strong
you knew the whole time that you didn't belong
KEEP IT UP
