Familiar as I may seem
I wish I had never been here before
The re-occurring pattern of dysfunctional
The power and control
It’s not as if I’m new to any of this
But I wish there was a way
To reach your inside
And set you free
And so it stays unseen
Under the surface
Right out of touch
Right out of reach
And so it stays unseen
Until we shine the light of truthful loving trust
It’s never going to change
You were the one
I was supposed to turn to
When I need someone
And I realize that I’m powerless
But at least I’m not alone
So turn your screws on any which way
Cause I’m not playing along
You carry this like a trophy
When you could have been so strong
But I am not the one to judge you anymore
I promise you
And so it stays unseen
Under the surface
Right out of touch
Right out of reach
And so it stays unseen
Until we shine the light of truthful loving trust
another show, another fight, another beer, another sleepless night
no food or money it's all pay to play
drive all night to work an eight hour day
seven years of playin shows, where it ends no one knows
there's confusion in my head, I wish I was in my bed
driving in a beat up van, you wanna critisize the band
you don't know what we go through, FUCK YOU
1000 miles away from home
where we'll end up no one knows
another city, another town
another transmisson run into the ground
but you gotta keep going as fast as you can
seeing the world from the back of a van
how long will we sit at home, get me to the open road
I can't pay my fucking rent, all my money has been spent
homeless for the next few weeks, can we stay with you to sleep
resist, rebel, stand up for yourself
they will try to bring you down
one day those tables will be turned around
we'll spit back in their face screaming "fuck the human race"
their oppression has fucked us for so long
then they say to rebel is wrong
don't believe them our rebellion ain't wrong no!
stand defiant, don't be fooled
don't let anyone tell you what you do rebellion is natural
when you're born they're telling you what to do
schools force their beliefs on you
say our ideals are just a phase, you'll grow out of it and cat your age
but i don't want you society, fuck a culture that rejects me
Tired of kids being harassed by cops
State control's gotta be stopped
Badge and gun, and extension of their dicks
all these pigs make me sick
Disgusted, all the things that I see
DEAD WEIGHT...FALLS!!!.
Friends like you, who needs enemies: DEAD WEIGHT FALLS SET YOU FREE!.
Friends like you, who needs enemies: DEAD WEIGHT FALLS SET YOU FREE!.
Stabbed in the back, time time again.
Life goes on, learn to embrace the pain.
Dealt with so much but it was never enough.
Now you're set free, my wounds healing up.
(chorus:)
TIME TO FACE...REALITY!. Dead weight falls and it sets you free.
CAN'T STAND THIS ATROCITY!. Dead weight falls and it sets you free.
LET'S END THIS...HYPOCRISY!. Dead weight falls and it sets you free.
There's nothing left, why can't you see the dead... weight... FALLS?
Severed ties... well, are we friends?
Friends don't lie, cheat or steal.
Is that what you are? Well, it's good for you;
I'll get a knife and I'll stab you TOO!.
TIME TO FACE...REALITY!. Dead weight falls and it sets you free.
CAN'T STAND THIS ATROCITY!. Dead weight falls and it sets you free.
LET'S END THIS...HYPOCRISY!. Dead weight falls and it sets you free.
With friends like you, well I now see...who...needs...ENEMIES!.
No apologies or consideration.
DEAD...WEIGHT! DEAD...WEIGHT!.
You never pitch in... but you're always taking.
DEAD...WEIGHT! DEAD...WEIGHT!.
I've been strung along, time to cut the string.
DEAD...WEIGHT! DEAD...WEIGHT!.
you were a violent drunk but now your dead and gone
you were ruining my life the damage had been caused
on the day of your funeral my life was reborn
the first time i saw you i could sense bad luck
it was eleven a.m. as you were drinking on my couch
and then you moved in like a terrential rain storm
you had nowhere to go but i knew where you were goin'
you smiled when i was home but you abused when i was gone
you hit my younger brothers and then you'd taunt me
and when i would confront you you'd say it was a lie
well i was at your funeral happy that you died
dead and gone
that night in the kitchen i trashed my house
there was a fist fight and i threw you out
and you were loaded with no place to go
so you passed out and blacked out in the snow
we got a phone call saying that you were dead
all the shit you put me through raced through my head
you died on a dirty motel floor
now you can't make me suffer anymore
do you see what i see
you were a violent drunk
you were ruining my life
the damage you have caused
on the day of your funeral
We are the punks of today, we are the punks of tomorrow
We will fight for what is right, we will fight to live our lives
We fight regardless of what you say
Look around at what we've created, take a good look at the scene
Build something from nothing, we gave it meaning
DIY or die, look out for everyone, concentrate on having fun
We can't fight each other, gotta try to stick together
That's how we'll keep the scene strong
The whole thing is still very young, its only been 20 years
We are the third generation, save the world from annihilation
you family's lived here for generations
but you can't afford it no more
we're making room for the corporations
got no room for the poor
rent is up, so you are out, we fall deaf to all your cries
this use to be your neighborhood
now you've been gentrified
what's really at the stake ain't real estate
you're talking about people's lives
rip the heart from a community
their culture surely dies
they call it progress but who moves ahead?
the people who control the wealth
'cause of their actions people end up dead
they only care about themselves
playing god, who goes? who stays?
who the fuck are you to decide?
they call it progress but it is a cultural genocide
Countdown! to my extinction, my life falls apart in front of my face
Countdown! my life is such a disgrace
Countdown! should I hang myself or slit my wrist
Countdown! overdose on heroin, just like Sid
My life means nothing to me,
can't wait until I'm fuckin dead I can't stand this life any more,
wait 'till I blow off my head
Countdown! always got problems, can't seem to escape
Countdown! the lies you feed me are so fuckin fake
Countdown! can't put up with life's daily pressure
Father looks down to his son
says "I was like you when I was young"
Son looks up to father's plans
Works in the factory with his hands
Says "I wanna be just like you,
organize the work for the collective few"
But as he grows up he sees no change
Systems won't let you rearrange!
Some day people will say
"Do we have to live this way?"
"Is this how we have to exist?"
And the people will rise up, and resist!
A majority class dominates
A world that the lower class creats
media confusion hides the fact
that we work with the rich man's knife in our back
we're killing ourselves for a profit gain
a profit off life what a fucking shame
we burn that flag for the values sworn
some day we'll burn it to keep warm
What we have done will not be lost
to all eternity
everything ripens at its time
and becomes fruit eventually!
(Break Away) IT consumes your life
Everything you do revolves around it
Is this a privilege or a disaster?
(Break Away)
What once was true
Now seems that it’s fucking foul
Are we closing in on the final hour?
A once red hot flame
Seems to smolder away
So do we carry on
Or watch it slip away
So Break Away- Or see it through
Snap the chains
Is this what we should do
So break away 0 or see it through
Snap the chains
Don’t know what’s wrong
Or what’s right
Day in day out
The sacrifice is immeasurable
The lengths to which
You’ve gone to make this work
Will never be understood
It’s so funny how you can feel on top
Of the world one minute
And want this dead and gone the next
Now let fate take it’s course
You would give your life just to have it all
Can you see
The writing on the wall
Is this what you deserve
For all you have given
Is the end near
Or has paranoia set in
So break away – or see it through
Snap the chains
Is what you should do
So break away – or see it through
Snap the chains
Don’t know what’s wrong
Or what’s right
My vision is so hazy tonight
My minds been diluted with hate
Help me escape
Hey hey
Do you think that this is the end
It seems like that this is the end
So break away – or see it through
Snap the chains
Is that what we should do
So break away – or see it through
Snap the chains
Don’t know what’s wrong
Or what’s right
My minds been diluted with hate
Fuck the world, Boston's better
Skins and punks get together
We all know who are true friends
And we'll be together 'till the end
This is Boston, we are the punks and skins
This is Boston, the drinking never ends
This is Boston, don't give us any shit
This is Boston, skins and punks in the pit
Do what we wanna do
We are the proud, we are the few
If you don't dance, you won't get hit
So don't fuckin' cry about our pit
This is Boston, not New York or La
This is Boston, not DC or the East Bay
This is Boston, where it's at
This is Boston, fuckin' home of the rat
They told him don't you ever come around here
Don't wanna see your face, you better disappear
The fire's in their eyes and the words are really clear
So beat it, just beat it
You better run, you better do what you can
Don't wanna see no blood, don't be a macho man
You wanna be tough, better do what you can
So beat it, but you wanna be bad
Just beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
They're out to get you, better leave while you can
Don't wanna be a boy, you wanna be a man
You wanna stay alive, better do what you can
So beat it, just beat it
You have to show them that you're really not scared
You're playing with your life, this ain't no truth or dare
They'll kick you, then they beat you
Then they'll tell you it's fair
You're screaming out the orders
But you refuse to lend a hand
Then you run back to your fortress
It's a fragile castle made of sand
Like a sheep in wolf's clothing
Your barks far worse than your bite
A snake in the garden of eden
It's a shadow in the night
No future - Act the part
You lose right from the start
Play your role and play their game
Don't live your youth in vain.
So dry your bloodshot eyes
Of the bitter tears you wept
Is this the life that you want
Or the one that you accept
Your words all sound so scripted
And your playing another role
You'll Give a great performance
But you've got, no control
No future - Act the part
You lose right from the start
Play your role and play their game
Don't live your youth in vain.
When it's all been said and done
And all the smoke has cleared
Did you speak from the heart
Or was it what they wanted to hear
You act your part just like a puppet
You fucking make me sick
No future - Act the part
You lose right from the start
Play your role and play their game

Sitting out in the rain

The hate that tears at my brain
Remains unseen to you
The self loathing and the pain
I'm swinging at the end of my rope,
If you only knew
I am lost without a hope,
There's nothing I can do
I don't want to live this day
It's getting harder every day,
To face what I've become
The fear of what I have become
Remains unseen to you
A heart that's just gone numb
Remains unseen to you
I just want to close my eyes
And pretend this isn't true
Throw my hands up to the skies
There's nothing I can do
This feeling of helplessness
And despair remains unseen to you
It's the cross that I must bear,
But it remains unseen to you
I dwell in a twisted reality of hate,
Remains unseen to you
Ugly thoughts, you cannot relate,
I don't wanna hear about your vegan shit
I eat greasy meat and damn proud of it
I don't give a fuck about Catholics and Jews
Don't feed me your stupid fucking views
You can have your own feelings that's fucking fine
If that's what you live for you're not worth my time
If you wanna be a racist bigot
That's fucking fine don't preach about it
Killing for abortion saw it on the news
Don't feed me your stupid fucking views
You can have your own feelings that's fucking fine
If that's what you live for you're not worth my time
All you straight edge kids just live your own lives
All you really are is fascists in disguise
Not against race just booze and smoke
If that's all you live for your life is a joke
You can have your own feelings that's fucking fine
they all claimed we'd go away
we grow in numbers everyday
rebellion can't be quelled for long
someday we'll come back twice as strong
while your pockets are getting thick
you're gonna get a brick
when it's time for you to die
i'll look you right in the eye
when the punks attack we'll have your back
20 years ago and we ain't done shit
when the punks attack you better watch your back
'cause there's a brick with your name on it
this isn't just an idle threat
i swear you ain't seen nothing yet
lets keep the feeling on the street
where it belongs, it's where we meet
the youth are selling drugs, commiting crime
but that will only get you time
direct your anger towards their hate
i'm pro-violent against the state
you're gonna get yours too
Hate, hate building up for hours
That's their side, this one's ours
Blood and fists vs. total power
They didn't run, not fuckin' cowards
It's gonna blow,
it's gonna blow,
it's gonna blow,
it's gonna blow
Riot in NYC, how did this begin?
Riot in NYC, riot all the punks & skins!
Fight back, fight back we can't sit and watch
Innocent people, our friends get beat up by the cops
It's gonna blow,
it's gonna blow,
it's gonna blow,
it's gonna blow
Protect and serve,
protect and serve,
protect and serve,
No Authority!
I've spoke my mind a thousand times
You can resist peacefully 'till the end of time
There's a point where you reach an end of thought
And the thought turns to action, emotion takes control!
Authority! No Authority! Fuck Authority!
Police Brutality!
Politicians are pigs in business suits
Triangle of power, the good are few
If terrors what you represent
TERRORS WHAT YOU'RE GONNA GET!
Authority! No Authority! Fuck Authority!
Police Brutality!
I see a red door and I want it painted black,
no colors anymore, I want them to turn black.
I see the girls walk by dressed in these summer clothes,
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes.
I see a line of cars and they're all painted black,
with flowers and my love both never to come back.
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away,
like a new born baby, it just happens every day.
I look inside myself and see my heart is black,
I see my red door and it has been painted black.
Maybe I'll just fade away and not have to face the facts,
no, it's not easy facin up when your world is black.
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue,
I could not foresee this thing happening to you.
If I look hard enough into the settin' sun,
my love will laugh with me before the morning comes.
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm..
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm..
I wanna see it painted, painted black.
Black as night, black as coal,
I wanna see the sun blotted from the sky,
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black.
Black as night, black as coal,
I wanna see the sun blotted from the sky,
to be such a coward is a fucking disgrace
if you got a problem with me say it to my face
punk rock gossip reminds me of high school cliques
well i remember high school being full of dicks
scandalous lies gotta stop
show some proof or just shutup
show some proof or just fuck off
having that much free must fucking suck
piss off you worthless lying fuck
got a lot of nerve calling yourself punk
i'm never gonna fight for this corrupt country
i never have, i never will
it's never done fucking anything for me
never!
i won't fight a war to power your wealth
fuck your power and your wealth
'cause everyday i'm at war with myself
a never ending fucking war
war!
sent to die are you free?
you murder, you're brainwashed
destroy their enemy
destroy, shoot, kill the enemy
i don't care about your senseless war
war!
or the fucked up shit your fighting for
i never had, i never will
millions die but the war will pass
do you really wanna die
fighting senseless wars for the upper class
your pain and torture is their gain
GG one time sang of this, for that I'm glad he's dead
If he tried to touch my kid I'd put a bullet in his head
Worthless slime molesting kids, how could you fuckin' dare
You should have your dick cut off and fry it in the chair
You're a scumbag, I hope you die
Touching them as they cry
You touch little kids and say it's ok
Don't tell mom and dad the special way we play
And then you make them touch you as they cry in fear
I'm sick in the mind, body, and soul
this way of living has taken it's toll
i'm abusing myself, but I'll never learn
I just want to watch this city burn
there's no turning back, once you've turned your back
I'm sick of the human race
wanna see society laid to waste
of the people who destroy more than they create
live to kill, love to hate
I used to feel sympathy but now it's all just apathy
I'll just turn my back as the world burns all around me
am I dying for a change or just dead on the inside?
maybe I don't look cause I'm not sure what I'll find
so I point the finger at whose to blame
but deep inside, we're all the same
is this me, can it be?
fuck off to nazi idea worshipping ku klux klan preaching power for religion,
church is getting rich again
i say there's nothing wrong with hate, its something i embrace
but dont hate a fucking person cause the color of his face
your screaming in the suburbs a middle class brat
sometimes i fucking wonder where your head is at
the world is full of problems
dont blame it on the jews
i'd rather be friends with them than the fucking likes of you
race riot its past debate the war is on and fueled on hate
there is no master race
so open up your eyes
fuck nazi religion kkk
dead end generation you should live in fear
mass destruction, corruption and no one cares
white is the color of thos ein power
red is the color of the millions slaughtered
blue is the color of the flesh that rots
,urderers go free while some are never caught
it's been said before it's time to listen
tune into the news you don't know what you're missing
lies, decite, injustice
this is how our culture lives
six year olds with fucking guns
run away youth on the fucking run
parents who abuse their kids
yet we're told be proud where we fucking live
proud for crime, proud for death
proud for the fucking poor who tried their best
told to vote, cast your ballot
we are one
and i refuse to believe that we have to live like this
you slag off
anyone who tries to rise above all it
you're never gonna stop fighting
for a better life
so get used to it kid!
you're jaded, over rated
if you think you've seen it all then think again
same story, you're boring
the day you die is the day you throw up your hands
Happiness is hard to find
Everyone else has it I guess I'm blind
NO all I see is utter lies
Shake my head and close my eyes
But I can't escape and I question myself why?
Call it negativity - it's reality
You've got eyes look and you'll see
Envisioning life through my eyes
I'm so fed up I wish that I was blind.
It's coming back it's oh so clear
I used to feel sorrow now I don't care
Depression, anger, hate, ignite
It detonates and I feel all right
You all feed the fire
I'll sit and watch it burn
I wish that I was blind
Fed up
Listen
Look what I see it sickens me
To no end
There's People Freezing
Out on the streets
With no where to go.
Don't take for granted what you own
Don't you know
Some People don't have a home
Such a dreadful outcome
A turn taken for the worse
Forgotten, beaten, battered
A life forced no one chosen
A life not chosen, no go
She works so much
she's at point break
To save her kids
Their worthless father ran away
He took everything
Now things will never be the same
It's been bled dry
Is this the American Dream?
Fuck it!
[Chorus]
We're at point break
For a life not chosen
We're at point break
Well all my life music saved me
I can't afford your therapy
My frustration it needs release
Cut me open and hear me bleed
Playing punk it keeps me sane
I don't need drugs to numb the pain
It keeps me alive I hope it helps you
I wont let your your worthless America ruin me
NO WAY
I'm screaming out
Somebody listen
It feels so good
This therapy
I lost control and hurt myself
I knew deep down I needed some help
The self abuse it would not stop
No matter how hard I tried
So I lied and I tried
And I pulled my life together
Am I going insane think again
I got so fuckin fed-up
With being unstable
NO MORE
I'm screaming out
there's a heat down on the street
and it's radiating through my feet
there will be trouble in allston tonight
there's a kid with a silent shout
'cause he's livin' off of hand to mouth
hey generation. i'm talkin' to YOU.
are we did yet?
street lamps flicker and the young wolves wail
as the vultures drag another off to jail
if they had their way you know
we would've been dead 20 years ago
do you think they really care about you?
NO WAY.
how's this for an answer?
not gonna explain myself to the likes of you
tired of feeling sorry for feeling the way i do
ive heard that you cant please everybody on this earth
so from now on im putting myself first
doing what you know to be right, fuck everybody else
doing what you feel to be right, you only got yourself
never turn your back on friends that are true
sooner or later it comes down to you
stand up for yourself and what you believe
as long as you're true to yourself, theres nothing you cant achieve!
there comes a time when you may find yourself down and beaten
NO HOPE, NO FUTURE, total utter abandon
but you gotta take control, rise up outta nothing
only you can help yourself, your strength comes from within
can't you see it's right before your eyes (your eyes)
The moons becoming red.
Its foreshadowing the end
its right before our eyes
we just choose not to care
Like a engine that has seized
theirs no more air to breathe
we've lost the right to live
through carelessness and greed
we rest eternally
Darkness fills the air
The time has come
Its one mass grave
This is our fate
Overcome by brutal heat.
this worlds now obsolete.
The storm has killed the calm.
Violent silence ends the cries.
Crossroads of life and death.
Extinction nothings left.
From sea to shining sea
No more hatred, crime , disease
you have a job but you can't afford the rent
why is life always just dollars and cents?
if you can't get a job then you can't get a home
the vicious cycle spawns and turns your soul to bone
kill, kill, die, die, death, death, suicide
why do you think those rates are so high?
do you think it's just a coincidence that the black male
is the highest statistic trapped on welfare?
landlord system, life for rent
capitalism doesn't make any sense
don't join the system, it's suicide!
coincidence or consequence: you decide!
kill, kill, die, die, death, death, suicide
I've seen so many kids over the years
a few years come and go and they disappear
punk rock is not a trend its a fucking life style
yet so many fade out after a while
when you grew up and deserted the scene
found the american nightmare is the american dream
your ideas changes as you matured and grew
the system you despised now controls you
where have you gone?
you faded away
you faded away, now you're gone
so many scream the kids are united
then they grow up and become divided
don't look down on us, cause we won't change like you
who gave you the right to write the rules
work five days a week and you slave nine to five
well half your life you lived a lie
I thought I knew you, man I was fooled
they shut down another venue
proving once again they're right
we can't even police ourselves
or see a show without a fight
that's why
I'm so fucken sick of this scene
but what you gonna do?
condemn anything you think is different
that's nothing new
what happened to intelligence in the scene?
maybe there was never any
all right
I ain't saying we can't have no fun
but would it hurt to fucking think?
what seperates you from the dumb jocks?
when all you do is fucking drink
we do this for ourselves
and we do this for all of you
it's just the four of us doin what we do
oi! oi! oi!
you don't like what we're doing
you can fuck off
if you don't like what you're hearing
then you don't applaud
oi! oi! oi!
so fuck all of you, fuck your callous ways
society doesn't care what we have to say
so fuck all of them, fuck their careless ways
the lower class is unseen, & its time we had
our say
oi! oi! oi!
lower class fights to survive
make just enough to get by
don't let system bring you down
some day our time will come
These feelings in my head
Of things that can't be said
Because I'm grasping for the words
To make you understand
And I wanna destroy myself
Don't wanna destroy myself
I wanna destroy myself
Hurricanes of love and pain
Tsunami tides of suicide
Like a cobra poised to strike
Like a criminal in the night
Depression sleeping in
Like a ship without a light
But life is just a game
And we all end up the same
So let the storms come
you cling to an old world, of morals of a long past age
why is it hard to accept that things have changed?
you swallowed every word without and question
followed all you heard for the sake of tradition
say that your religious but your faith just ain't true
you salute a flag without asking what it did for you
you've been spoon feed your every thought
always did just as your taught
you have a right to think that way
but i question you integrity
alwasy forcing your views on me
but they're just slogans it's plain to see
Now what can you do?
It seems that nothing is left for you
Nothing but torment
Torture and despair
It rips apart right at the seams
Yet they ignore your silent screams
That presence of pain
Is so overwhelming
Nothing left at all
And when it’s laid to rest
And it seems like nothing is left
How could you carry on in this world
Yea torn away was all that mattered
And all of your hopes
And dreams are now shattered
Smashed and scattered
Like glass into pieces
And now you walk alone
And glass can easily slice
Right down to bone
All it takes is the will
For self destruction
Nothings left at all
They want you to think
That there’s nothing left,
Don’t let them make you think
That’ there’s nothing left
Pondering on your existence
You wonder why you are alive
Suffering from severe depression
Contemplating suicide
You're told your nothing, unimportant
You only see their life through your eyes
Well every life has it's own problems
If you can see the other side
Stumble and fail
Stumble and fail or reach the sky
You'll never know unless you try
Dealt misery while some are blessed
Who measures failure what is success
A part of you is gone and dead yah
But it just won't leave your head
So you try to push it all away all away
Take it all day after day
Theirs only darkness at the end
Will your soul wonder or descend
Is this how it's supposed to be
Can you control your own, own destiny
Stumble and fail or reach the sky
You'll never know unless you try
Yahhhh will you be free
Or suffer endless misery
Yahhhh will you be free
when a black man can't walk certain streets
without being hassaled by the pigs
when the youth are forced into the school system
designed to break the will of the kids
when you don't feel safe walking the streets
of your own fucking hometown
just cause you look different
people always try to push you around
so this is freedom
live in a capatalist system that says
you gotta work just to survive
but when you're stuck in a dead end job
are you really alive?
then they tax us on what we earn
to pay for their fucking wars
the cold war, war on drugs
the secret war out on the poor
go to school, learn to trade, do as i say you better behave
Don't wear team coats, can't play ball.
Stare at me as I walk down the hall
Call me a fag
Say that I'm gay but who's the one getting laid?
Fuck you, who's who!
Don't like me, think I'm a mess
Don't like my hair, don't like my clothes
I can't fight but I'll bite off your nose
Don't like me 'cause the way I dress
Don't like me 'cause of your ignorance
Have different styles and different thoughts
You say stand up for your rights
But you fall for all their lies
You Claim to know the truth
While wearing a cheap disguise
Who are you to judge us, don't tell
Us how to live our lives
The real world's outside your door,
It's gonna open your eyes
Go..
Real life is coming gonna wipe
The smile from your face
You'll be left chocking, gagging
On reality's bitter taste
Won't talk down to others when
You're living on your knees
Slowly the hate sets in it
Consumes you like a disease
Oh your failure (failure) is my revenge.
Life's gonna catch up with you in the end
This world you've built is fragile,
It's all gonna come crashing down
And when your world collapses,
I only pray that I'm around
To see the look on your face,
The hurt, hollow, and blank stare
Of a person who just realized
Open the door and adjust my eyes
The concrete streets are as gray as the skies
The wind stings my face and this world just melts away
And it brings me back to another place bur memories are such a waste
You can never go home, you left that world behind
Is this the only place
The only place to go
Are these tired words, the only that we know
The old familiar taste, of the bottle in my hand
Or is this the only place, I can understand
Your whiskey tainted wisdom spills like vomit from your mouth
The world is closing in and I just gotta get out...
Of my head and of this town
Familiar places are bringing me down,
The truth can be hard to swallow
When it's spit right in your face.
I just gotta get out
What are you gonna do, when they tell you what to do?
Taught at a young age, to respect the men in blue
And due their fucking state control, your forced to go into their schools
Where they teach us twisted history and make us pledge allegiance to their flag
It's time that the next generation learned to think for them-fucking-selves
What are you gonna do
When they tell you what to do?
Taught at a young age, what was wrong and what was right
And as they impose their rules of suspension they hope we won't put up a fight
Well they teach us twisted history and make us pledge allegiance to their flag
You don't need a paper to say you're smart if you can think for yourself
What are you gonna do
When they tell you what to do
Don't let them tell to you what to do
The teachers in your class or the bullies in your school
Don't let them tell you how to think
Your parents or some fucking shrink
Don't let the, tell you how to act
Wait till they see that you're dropping out of class
Don't let the school district tell you what to do
Been a while since I've seen any constructive ideas.
Nothig new, "smash the state! smash the hate! smash the fear!" alright now,
how about coming off that cloud. put in prespective.
Let's start small
If we're not going to come together and be a sizeable force,
we're going to have to start out small and build it more and more.
let's use an old idea and start our own comunity.
we must work TOGETHER.
if we are to work towards living free.
They must think it's all a joke.
We laugh at them and they laugh right back.
We talk and talk and talk and yell.
But is there any chance of attack?
This is not a selfish act of "fuck the rest of the world" think about
it for a second, if our commune could he heard, production would
be high since everything'd be free. we could feed and cloth the
starving of the poorest countries.
development would rocket, setting examples for the world!
stateswould loose suport when they see what we've unfurled. our
sectionalist anarchy could overcome the factions.
the masses will not try it unless they see it put to action!
IS THERE ANY YOUTH LEFT IN THE CULTURE?
IS THERE ANY CULTURE LEFT IN THE YOUTH?
We're the bastard children of a nation whose dreams have died
Everything we believe in it all turned out to be a lie and change
Seems oh so difficult, acceptance is the Common voice.
Powerless against their power we act like we don't have a choice.
Weapons of mass deception
Fear is the greatest weapon
Used to maintain, their control
Cause the scared do what they're told
Dangers lurking in every corner, minds clouded with mistrust.
New witches for them to burn smoke covers the bloodlust.
False fears installed in masses, so real issues go ignored.
Like a phoenix rising from the ashes total powers their reward.
Control through fear
A reign of terror is here
Control through fear
"We Are All That We Have"
The kids they come from all around
With the same look in their eyes
They're bruised and boozed with nothing to lose
Some don't care if they die
This world has pushed them
Beat them to the ground
Tonight it's different
We stand on equal ground
We are all that we have
No matter what they say
We are all that we have
And they can't take that away
See the circles form
Bodies flying left to right
Days of tensions fade away
Even if it's for one night
Controlled aggression
Your only release
Helps to numb depression
Real pain will never cease
We are all that we have
No matter what they say
We are all that we have
And they can't take that away
Outside these walls
You're a misfit, messed up kid, no one to trust
Outside these walls, you're an outcast
Here and now you're one of us
We are all that we have
(we are all!)
We are all that we have
(we are all!)
We are all that we have
(we are all!)
We are all that we
You want to think I have a problem
Well think again it lies within you
You act so rude and immature
Ill act the same I wont acknowledge you
But yet you still want to run your mouth
Well why even waste your time
I despise your whole existence
And that's the bottom line
Your a waste of time
Don't waste my time
No need for adolescent gossip
Fact is that you need to grow up
Don't concern yourself with my life
Because I could care less what you do
You say hello to my face
Ingrates and sellouts to our backs
Its no miscommunication
Guts is something that you lack
Your a jealous bitter waste of time
There is no need to pretend
I don't owe you a thing
Don't act like we are friend
You wonder why I feel like this
Come on open up your eyes
Your all mindless and gutless
That is why I say
I could care less what you do
This world will kick you when you're down
leave you lying on the ground will you be
it's victim? the choice is really yours
people will try to intimidate,
they take advantage and manipulate,
humanity's a vulture picking at our corpse
chorus 2x
frustrated, alienated, won't be intimidated
defiant, self-reliant, refuse to be silent
if you let them break you then your will is
not your own follow your own instincts,
you're not a mindless clone
i don't have any answers and may not know
what's right but i refuse to be a victim,
it's my fucking life
chorus 2x
i refuse to be a victim and i refuse to be ashamed
Useless Regrets
Useless Regrets
Useless Regrets
Useless Regrets
Got the demon in my veins,
Crawling blind and my head's a wreck
Wear it like a badge (of honor) on our chest,
But it's more like a noose wrapped around my neck
The more I fight the tighter it gets,
Cutting off my air and I can't breathe
Like the siren's song so innocent,
Till you're it's victim and cannot leave (so we)
Raise a glass to poor decisions,
Broken hearts, and blurred vision
This can't last forever
too young to know, we're too reckless to care
too young to know, you were never even there
too young to know, we're too reckless to care
too young to know, now i just dont fucking care!
hello dear father you did a hell of a job
i sit and ponder wondering what the fuck is wrong
heres some toys, give this check to your mom
cause if i dont pay, the judge wont let daddy come
too young to know, we're too reckless to care
too young to know, you were never even there
too young to know, we're too reckless to care
too young to know, now i just dont fucking care!
the marriage vows are such a fucking joke
how many times can one person have and hold
sickness and health means nothing to me
we are the future of this dysfunctional society
too young to know, we're too reckless to care
too young to know, you were never even there
too young to know, we're too reckless to care
too young to know, now i just dont fucking care!
pack your bags and leave the family you built
i hope youre feeling lots of lonliness and guilt
so many fuck and knock there girlfriends up
desert your family and let your kids raise themselves
We are sorry but we are not allowed to post Thorn lyrics by Unseen either for privacy issues or copyright protection!
mistreated due to color of skin
how did this injustice fucking begin?
this terror's ensued for thousands of years
this terror's created millions of tears
all is not lost
there's still hope
we're throwing bricks and making noise
but the target's so big the bricks feel like toys
and when we shout they don't hear a word we say
but i'll never shutup and i'll never behave
revolution beings when you look within
so let not a word slip from your little white lip
my dreams got shattered when i finally came to learn
that people are so cruel and the power is so firm
mass organization has to be the key
Smash the government smash the state
You feed the system you claim to hate
They get us all though corruption
Cause we will pay to feed addiction
Alcohol tobacco meat
Countless others they know we need
Never fall know we’re weak
Know we’ll pay to power their greed
Never meet their destruction
Because we support the system
Fuck the state, what a joke
They make money off the butts you smoke
Smash the government is looking bleak
They take our money every week
Destroy their power is kind of tough
If you can’t stand up if your too fucked up
Drink the booze they supply
Never win now you know why
Never meet their destruction
Let us not feel an ounce of remorse
When the time comes and the brains
Behind the muscle get what they fucking deserve!!!!!
News broadcasts ratings grow.
War and scandal do you wanna
know. How many people died today.
Dealt with pain and suffering
Are you terrified
For our lives
It looks to be
The end's in sight
Go and fight for evil and lies
Everything you stand for I despise
I'd rather live than die for something
Something that will never end
Force them to fight so we can be free
Until the end
Money and power is the reality
Until the end
It's two things the world leaders thrive for
Until the end
And that's why this will never stop
Until the end
That's why this will never stop
Until the end
A crime so gruesome and terrible as cutting a child this innocent life out of young woman's womb.
He shot 10 girls, most of them in the head execution style.
China died of multiple stab wounds, her stepson was also stabbed and he died of blunt force trauma.
Along with a 2x4 that appeared to have blood on one end.
Charges of sexual abuse against at least 16 priests.
Protesters carrying signs with anti-gay slogans and words like thank God for dead soldiers.
The individual then apparently shot and killed himself.
where's the anger?
there comes a day when you finally realize
that everything you've been taught was a fucking lie
they always said that you should always tell the truth
do as I say, but don't do as I do
where's the anger?
where's the fucking truth?
did you lose it somewhere in your youth?
sometimes it's hard to see the enemy
the left, the right, or the fence of apathy
the sheep or the wolf, it's a thinly veiled disguise
The beginning of the end has come for me
And for everything I’ve done
The second chance has faded fast
My cruelty has caught up with me at last
When talking bombs that scarred your face
I took and threw the truth away
I cut the chords and snap the chains
With the twisted lies I lay
I found the nerve to look back at
The mirror in your eyes all I saw were lies
I found the nerve to look back at
The mirror in your eyes all I saw were my lies
All that’s left are lies
The beginning of the end has come for me
And for everything I’ve done
The second chance has faded fast
My cruelty has caught up with me at last
When talking bombs that scarred your face
I took and threw the truth away
I cut the chords and snap the chains
With the twisted lies I lay
I found the nerve to look back at
The mirror in your eyes all I saw were lies
I found the nerve to look back at
The mirror in your eyes all I saw were my lies
I'm through with you.
Don't care what you say or do.
I'm through with you.
You saw our shirts on mtv.
You say how could this be.
Betrayed you throw yours away.
You throw it all away.
I've had it up to here
And now I just don't care
Don't care what you think of us.
We're sick of you.
Don't support us anymore
Cuz we played warped tour
Say we turned our backs on you
THAT'S NOT THE FUCKING TRUTH
It's more work then you'll ever know
Some say we don't have much to show
There's records, cds and magazines
That's immortality.
What are they thinking
What a scam I believed in that band
How could they play for such kids.
SAY I'll play when I want
To who I want fuck you.
Your not the one to tell me
What to do what to do.
So let the truth be told yea,
We got so much horror (terror)
Robbed at gunpoint bullets for you
Another story on the morning news
A drug deal gone bad takes a life
Sliced deep ear to ear
By the tip of a knife
Blood flow drowns his final breath
You took his life but you got your fix
So you pray to god you pray for help
Why won't he save us all from this hell
Have faith in the holy father, yeah his brutality scares your daughter
13 is the unlucky number
Suicidal dreams that she now harbors
Pray for life
As your condemned to hell
Revenge comes and haunts you
In your cell
As you're raped think of her
Blood and tears
Yea not even god can save you here
(ha-ha)
So you pray to god, you pray for help
Why won't he save us from this hell?
Why can't you see such tragedy?
Depressing reality, just look around
Why can't you see it sickens me
To no end
All the hatred, injustice, dishonesty,
It's all I see such tragedy
I share none of that pride that part of me has long since died
A generation
On the brink of destruction
A world saturated in corruption
You think this is the American dream?
You must be so sound asleep
I toss and turn
Through with wretched nightmare
step inside!
step inside!
step inside!
(you never know unless you try!)
you're entering a door way
a gate way to death,
don't stay on earth come with me
and take your final breath,
no more pain and torture,
it's time to give them some
they'll wish they never picked on you
your time has fucking come,
will you step inside
come on in and take you life
(kill yourself)
will you step inside
as you take your fucking life
your standing in a doorway
but are you coming in
you pains become pleasure
commit your final sin,
there's no heaven from suicide
that what they always say,
you've done so much wrong,
you won't go there anyway
will you step inside
come on in and take you life
(kill yourself)
will you step inside
as you take your fucking life
(you'll never know unless you try)
razor blades across tender flesh
you wanna see whats on the other side,
fun to your head
close you eyes
you wanna see whats on the other side,
rope around your neck
on the edge of a seat
you wanna see whats on the other side
wits end, cant sleep,
will you be at peace
on the other side,
is it a promise
On the run, no turning back
They were the kids no one seemed to like
Grew up fast always had to fight
Dead end kids from no where homes
Shattered dreams and broken bones
Picked on cause they didn’t have shit
Held their heads high they’d never submit
Lived their lives in a constant fight
Felt no shame cause they knew they were right
They’re the kids who spent their lives living on the wrong side of the tracks
They made just one mistake and now there’s no turning back
Then one night all hell broke loose
Stakes were high but they had nothing to lose
Soc.’s were cocked with the odds in their favor
Johnny fought back in fear and anger
Soc.’s screams his body hits the ground
Now they’re fucked and they gotta leave town
Cops will swarm but they won’t listen
They’ll see one dead rich kid
And two poor killers
They’re the kids who spent their lives living on the wrong side of the tracks
They made just one mistake and now there’s no turning back
the 90's are almost over and hatred still runs deep
ignorant fucks in police suits still rule the fucking streets
the poor getting poorer while the rich stay fucking rich
equality is no where in sight if you wanna win you gotta fight
stand up and fight
what the hell are we supposed to do?
violence and despair are threating to destory the youth
everyday on the news more murder more rape
we're living in a dying world from which there's no escape
what the hell are we supposed to do?
what the fuck are we gonna do?
I've got something to say
and I just can't fucking hold it anymore
it means more to me today
then it ever fucking did before
I'm a punk
and I've finally learned what it means to me
it doesn't dictate who I am
I define what the word means
I ain't ever scared to say
I'm proud to be where I am today
always follow your dreams
if I ever cared what people say
I wouldn't be who I am today
be yourself to be free
use destruction
it's the only way to pave salvation
but don't forget creation
it's the REAL history of this nation
hate and fear your government
because what they steal is your onlycovenant
love your land, your nation
but don't forget theres a whole world out there waiting
I'm a punk get off my ass
because I'm fucking working classs
I get up everyday and go to work
I'm treated like a fucking jerk
They suck my money every week
now my future's looking bleak
they say the money's almost gone
but what will I do when my time comes
hey! hey! hey!
Blue collar job you and I
kiss your hard-earned dough goodbye
Soon you'll be old you'll be gray
And how will you earn your pay
For over 40 years you broke your back
But they gave your money to some bum on crack
they say we won't get it
but fucking the govt's leeches are still money sucking
hey! hey! hey!
Did you hear what they want to do to you and me
Social damage (x4)
You cant believe what you see
It's individuality
This world has made me who I am
But you can't comprehend
So you blindly consume their lies
Evil wears a great disguise
Have you no conscience man?
This is what made me who I am.
social damage
controls your thoughts
No minds of your own
So you blindly march(you blindly march
Live like this till the end
Your lives i'll never understand
I know I come from nothing
You're all irrelevant to me
And I dont want your help
I hope you burn in hell
Live by your own rules, don't pretend
Yah zombies blindly follow trends
(CHORUS)
Cant you see yourself
Just like every one else
You're trapped inside this mirror
Nobody wants to break out
(Break out x3)
(CHORUS)
Never really go all things seems the same. People working people say they fuck and piss their lives away. People taking everything it's all the same old shit, never giving answers just anything will fit. Fuck right off if you think i'll play a part, in this system that was doomed from the fucking start. Change a little scenery, dominates integrity. Cultures around the world result in all round corruption. Fuck right off if you think you'll ever see, in this system that takes your life away. Right to vote or wrong to vote the choice is upto you, i won't vote cause they just fuck me and you. I don't give a shit this system is the faces. Then it all fucking stops they all fuck the system, It's not getting better again it's gets worse, open up your damn eyes the world is destroyed. There ain't not future and there ain't no hope, human kind will take over there system, there ain't no future and there ain't no hope in this system that takes your life away, there ain't no future and there ain't no hope, rules and regulations getting in our way, there ain't no future and there ain't no hope.
chaos chaos hear that sound
when the time comes what are you gonna do?
when the sirens blow, 10 seconds of chaos
is it your regret? does it matter anyway?
when the poisons come from all around
no evacuations
for a split second we're all the same
nothing to lose, nothing to gain
no classes, money, or politics
just flesh and blood and eyes of fire
all those years of fucking pain
all those years of suffering
are wasted away
when the bomb is dropped
and the button is pushed
there is no second chance
your nations on fire
Madness I can't escape
Frenzy running rampant through my mind
How much more can you take when you have no...
No direction
All these years of living life on the run
Can leave you mentally or physically scarred
You're forced to sacrifice far more than you get
So many memories I'll never forget
To get ahead you gotta stand up and fight
They say you're wrong but you know that you're right
It's an uphill battle till the bitter end
Keep on swingin' gotta fight to win
Madness I can't escape
Frenzy running rampant through my mind
How much more can you take when you have no...
On my way to no destination
Living chaos and confusion
Disorder's all you have
The end is so uncertain
On my way to no destination
Living chaos and confusion
Disorder's all you have
The end is so uncertain
A life sentence with no escape
And now you're feeling so devoid of faith
Some things must be learned all alone
Nowhere to turn so where do you go?
It's a thin rope that you're forced to walk
If you fall then you better rise up
You came from nothing and when it ends
It dissipates, nobody wins
Madness I can't escape
Frenzy running rampant through my mind
How much more can you take when you have no...
On my way to no destination
Living chaos and confusion
Disorder's all you have
The end is so uncertain
On my way to no destination
Living chaos and confusion
Disorder's all you have
The end is so uncertain
Life spins just like a chamber
And we all go sooner or later
Damage is irreversible
That cycle spins around and around
Life spins just like a chamber
And we all go sooner or later
Damage is irreversible
That cycle spins around and around
Not telling what you'll find
Take along hard look and try
This is a state of discontent
Seems there's no destination
Run rampant till this day
I got so much more to say
Crossroads of life and death
When you're lying on your back under the foot of brutality
and gagging on the stockpile of junk
left by past generations and apathetic mentality
you can't help feel like you got the short end of the stick
when will we ever walk without a crutch
and live to exist and finally put away our fists
be a thief or a pauper, the choice is up to you
if the cause is sincere we're already halfway through
Thieve back! what they've stolen from you
Give back! the shit they've given to you
Attack! confront the problems they make
Don't react! cause we're lost if we wait
Cold war? No war? it's all the fucking same
It's done a little bit quieter so no one will complain
their structure has nothing to do with matter, time and space
so to live within a system is such a fucking waste
If you look inside yourself, at everything that's real
you see systems are two dimentional, they soon lose their appeal
Systems are incorperal they don't really exist
They're unnatural constructions that are natural to resist!
Thieve back! what they've stolen from you
Give back! the shit they've given to you
Let's fight! let's fight with our hearts
Unite! we shoudln't be apart
It's up to us, anarchists belive in a higher order
and a non-coercive way of life.
To litter our over crowded decaying cities with our literature
to heckel and drown out the speeches of corrupt leaders
that come to our towns and spew forth their wretched de-evolutionary
bullshit.
And hold demonstrations, as small as they may be,
to let the state know we're still here in 1996
and we're not going to sit back
and watch them destroy what little we have left to grasp onto.
LET THEM KNOW WE'RE HERE!
Some nights I dream of mutilated politicians on poles
headless officers of the almighty law
bloated bankers choking on money
the hungry feeding off pigs' corpses
the wonderful smell of racist's rotten flesh on fire
Our culture, our culture,
Our culture has been lost.
How many, how many,
How many lives are at cost?
Will you survive,
Will you survive and watch other's die?
You have no chance, you have no
Chance if you want to remain alive
New world disorder
As far as I can see
New world disorder
No hope for you or me.
Our system, our system,
Our system no longer exists.
Scream, yell louder no one will help
They helped before it was their job
Well they got paid. money gets health and power.
And ceased the other day.
its the dead of night and she wakes up screaming
but her terror doesn't end when she's done dreaming
she recloses her eyes and all she sees is your face
bringing her back to that time and that place
when you forced your way into her front door
you took all her possessions, still you wanted more
grabbed her by the arms, forced her to the bed
you left her body but you'll never leave her head
never forget, never walk away
pain, regret, till her dying day
he was very young but he knew when to hide
he didn't recognize the smell booze
but could see it in your eyes
he swore when he was older he'd get his revenge
but he never got the chance cause you left when he was ten
now he walks the street with hatred in his eyes
a needle in his veins, a head so full of lies
all his wounds have healed, scars still mark the flesh
drugs numb the pain but he'll never forget
how do you sleep at night?
what gave you the right
destroying people's lives
only their pain will survive
I think so fucking hard my heads gonna explode.
The hate replaces blood and its al that I know.
Your words mean total nothing our existence is corruption
That's how I see it why don't you give it a try.
Sadness becomes anger and I don't know why.
I've seen so much truth theirs no more tears to cry.
It ran out years ago the wells gone dry
I no longer care and now I realize I have a
Negative outlook
That's why I have a
Negative outlook
And it wont change
Do I really care sometimes I wish I could
Then I think what I despise and it feels really good.
I wont worship false power as you destroy earth.
I don't give a dam what you say its worth.
What makes me feel this way. what have I become.
The seasons still change but the damage is done.
Its just another culture forced to die.
No cares no conscience I'm desensitized with a
Negative outlook
That's why I have a
Negative outlook
And it wont change
For too long we've scoffed at the actions of the rest of the world,
but what do we have to show for all our arrogance?
Division, mistrust, and betrayal plague us just as badly as it does them.
And when it's time for action,
when it's finally our turn will we let petty difference divide us
like it has time and time again or will we be able to rise up and let it all go?
We stand on the brink of leadership to inherit an urban waste.
The fruits of their of their failure are thrust in our mouths but we can't stand the taste.
Do we turn our backs on the mess they've made and blame it all on their greed?
Or do we stand together, proud and tall, where they failed can we succeed?
Where they failed will we succeed... Go!
These problems aren't our doing, but we inherit them at birth.
This suffering's not a legacy but a chance to prove our worth
So we fight against oppression and we pledge to do our part (Hey Hey)
Revolution's not born of bullets but from the fire in our hearts (It's in our hearts)
The will is there and the feeling is strong, but the messages seem lost.
We divide ourselves from one another, and then ignore the final costs.
Lyrics and slogans are not battle cries they're just ideas and nothing more.
Talk without actions is politics for fashion so check your ego at the door.
I can't take no more... No!
These problems aren't our doing, but we inherit them at birth.
This suffering's not a legacy but a chance to prove our worth
So we fight against oppression and we pledge to do our part (Hey Hey)
Revolution's not born of bullets but from the fire in our hearts (It's in our hearts)
The wars they wage and the problems they made, they now belong to us.
Will we let them rule us too or will we crush them into dust?
The choice is ours and the lines are drawn so it's time to pick your side.
Will you stand for the greater good or protect your battered pride?
Whoa, time to let it go (Let go, let go) [x4]
10-26-2005 it marked the day
2000 soldiers died
We all live in fear day after day
As global warming is on the way
Put a bullet in you gun
And Point it at your head
Sometimes it seems we're already dead
New Orleans suffered devastation
And from the graves
The dead have risen
Some times it seems we're left for dead
So much hopelessness and destruction
We must rise up open our eyes
Make a change before we die
We are left for dead if we don't try
Plane strikes the target
Was there a bomb?
Detonation leads to crumbling
See the hole
In the wall of the Pentagon
Bodies gone
No bones or metal remains
We all have a right
A right to choose
Interpret what we see on the news
Religious wars, racial hatred
The truth is fucking suffocated
Well can't you see
It's fucking getting darker everyday!!
How long can our world subsist
Will the madness subside
Will extinction rain down from the sky
3,2,1, now or anytime. We could all die.
We're left for dead if we don't try
Poisoned or pure
It's left for dead if we don't try
There's no escape ha
We're left for dead if we don't try
The poor, the rich are left for dead
No One wants to book us for reasons we don't know
Maybe because we look funny
Think nobody will go to the show
We're just a bunch of fuckin' kids
Workin' hard and getting shit
Don't ignore us, think we'll go away
Fuck off you dick, we're here to stay
You can't keep us down
Just when things are going good, we get kicked in the face
Our fuckin shows get cancelled, our flyers are a fuckin' waste
Our band members get shipped away and leave me in the cold
We will fight to live on but this shit is getting old
Some of us believe in revolution
Some of us are straight edge
Some of us like to get piss drunk
Some of us just want to go to bed
We've got one common goal, you can't keep us down
Fuck your respect, fuck your money
Always saying the system sucks
But its people like you who fuck it up
Always saying we need to change
Look at the problem we’re all to blame
Always pointing an accusing finger
You were here first you did it better
Sit in the back with folded arms
Kids today don’t know the cause
Revolt you scream and yell
(In your place) You give your soul
Feel no disgrace
Seems like they spit right in your face
Day after day
It's nothing new
Paranoia (Ha Ha)
What can you do
It seems so mundane
You tried your best
Got nothing left
Where do you go from here?
It seems no one cares
Yeah that's how it appears
You Tried so hard to shine,
But it just seems like every time
You get a shot, you just get pushed
Back in your place...
Go.....
And in the end what do you get?
The hollow stares are so priceless
A room so eager just to exit
Five minutes are gone
Sacrifice, devotion killed
Bands hypnotized by dollar bills
And kids love what's deemed hip
To the public
So when you try your best
You think you got nothing left
Don't let them push you
Shove them back
[Chorus]
Put a end to this charade
A rated G horror parade
Make up and skulls are such a scream
This fad can't last another week
And when you try your best
You think you got nothing left
Don't let them push you
Shove them back
[Chorus]
Back in your place
The end results the same
And its so clear to me
From the blank stares
down here we walk a little faster
down here we grow up real tight
down here we stick together
because down here you've gotta fight
can live off this country's waste
we consume so much in this rat race
(the city is a) human breeding ground of exploitation
but I won't become jaded
IN THE CITY
it's capitalism at its best
people living neck to neck
their glass buildings won't fall on their own
so we should be throwing stones!
IN THE CITY
some of us were born here
some of us were brought here
some of us have moved here
but none of us can leave here
Fuck that punk rock clone, you aint punk if you got a home
Forget that punk rock rule, gotta be like me to be cool
Go ahead, leave me alone, aint you got a life of your own?
The way you look just aint right
Don't care if it is your life, trying to tell you how to be
Blood on the hands, blood on the face
Last chance left for the human race
Forgotten heroes, fallen gods
The world we built is gonna fall
I don't care what you think
Hate the power they've abused
Punks stand alone, stand accused
Watch your back, watch your friends
Don't give in 'till the bitter end
Deadly skid marks stain the street, the blood is all that you can see.
Young body on cold concrete but you don't wanna take the heat, no!
Was it due to that last drink? So scared and confused that you can't think.
Help me, Christ, what should I do? If God exists, he don't like you!
Blood level reads too high, carelessness will get you life.
Well, pray to God for what you've done; misery has now begun.
Call 911 as you leave, D.O.A. at the crime scene.
No way to change... what you did, you killed somebody's kid!
(chorus:)
LOOK! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
ON THAT COLD NIGHT, IT WAS A HIT AND RUN!
LOOK! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
ON THAT COLD NIGHT, IT WAS A HIT AND RUN! Go!.
Manslaughter is what you did, that hit and run accident.
A tragic end...to that life. Drive away, wash up and hide.
I hope you got an alibi, you best make up... a great lie!
The angry parents want the truth, justice is after you!
(chorus)
What have you done?...
That hit and run!.
License plate lies next to the dead.
It fell off before, away you sped.
Those clues ad up, tire tracks are red.
Matching indents on his fucking head.
Tracks on his head!
Away you fled!
if you're sick and disease stricken
the system's got a cure that you're not getting
getting unless you're one of the elite
and that's the only way that your illness can be beat
with a nice insurance policy their eyes will light up
these rich bastard doctors are shady and corrupt
to make a million dollars off of someone's pain
those heartless fuckin' bastards have no fuckin' shame
medicines and treatments they should all be free
but that will never happen in our society
if your broke, unhappy they take you in
if your heavily insured you should see their fuckin' grin
as you pop your pills, they pop their champaigne
as your paying off your debt, they're boarding a plane
your misfortune pays for their vacation
and the million dollar homes they resign in
they don't care about your health, only their wallets
their greed is a disease and we gotta stop it
yeah everything bothers me
just about everything that i see
no need for a flag or a country
raise your finger if you agree
the problems won't go away
if we keep our rage at bay
the filth and slime will always stay
if we choose to ignore and play
goodbye america! fuck you america! goodbye america! fuck you!
the stars and strips are prison bars
they won't let you get too far
the rule over many by the few
you cant police my mind because i won't let you
Goodbye america, fuck you america
goodbye america, fuck you!
pledge allegence to your self
not greed, power, war, and wealth
remember you were born a human being
not a part of their machine
Good bye america, fuck you america
Goodbye america, fuck you!
violence surround me
violence in society
violence in our eyes
violence in their cries
violence it's our fate?
violence it's too late?
violence no escape?
violence give in to hate?
is it human nature to act like animals?
we're all guilty, we're all criminals
selfish species headed for a self destruction
violent product of a moral corruption
violence for love
violence because of hate
violence revoultion
violence of the state
violence you will find
violence it grips your mind
violence it's too late?
Fuck the Ku Klux Klan
Fuck Luis Farrakhan
Fuck religious hate in any way
Fuck the KKK
Fuck the KKK
Fuck their burning cross
Fuck their ugly robes
Fuck their nigger lynching patrol
Fuck the Aryan race
This world is a disgrace
Fuck the Christian Klan
Jesus was a fucking Jew
Fuck the KKK
Fuck their burning cross
Fuck their ugly robes
Fuck their nigger lynching patrol
You want niggers to pack their bags
Fuck your confederate flag
The only flag you'll see with me
Is the flag of anarchy
What they feed you, is all lies...
And all you can do is... WONDER WHY!!
Brainwash the masses with corrupt authority
You're led like puppets on a string
Yeah it's so nauseating!
We live in a corrupted world
It's gonna fail, we're gonna die!
Don't read the papers, or watch the news.
Don't bother, don't view!
The propaganda, what you're fed is fake!
I don't know how much more I can take...
Of that propaganda, what you're fed is fake!
I don't know how much more I can take!
We all make mistakes,
some live their life so great
Others are dealt a bad hand
And live their life irate!
Is it to late?
Have we all sealed our fate
We must sit back!
We must sit back!
We must sit back and view!
The propaganda, what you're fed is fake!
I don't know how much more I can take...
Of that propaganda, what you're fed is fake!
I don't know how much more I can take!
What they feed you... is all lies!
And ll you can do is... Wonder why!
Why! Why! Why! Why! Why! Why! Why! Why!
You're in a hole!
Nowhere to go!
You see the top, but you...
Can't your goal!
You gotta reach...
Up to the sky!
Try to escape...
You walk the path, now deal with it: the problems you have made.
Go prove to them that you have changed, so memories can fade.
The tide's coming in... but will it wash away the times?
The times you disappointed them, the times you made them cry.
Where can you turn? The flames have destroyed.
Yah, can you rebuild the bridge that you burned?
The patience to reconstruct... or let the ashes wash away?
Dream about how it would be to shoot up out of reality
No more pain just ecstasy would it help me struggle with sanity
I've got enough bad habits
I won't become an addict
So I sit and dwell in this living hell
How much longer can it last yah
Is Armageddon our evolution
No survivors no solution
Disgusted and unhappy but trying to find peace
Trying to escape what seems like endless misery
I want some peace and quiet away from all of you
Well I try so hard to get away but there's nothing I can do no
Is Armageddon our evolution
No survivors no solution
Time flies by so fast
I wonder when it all will crash
Worlds explode when evils clash
Nothing left but dust and ash now
It's the final execution
No more murder - no prostitution
No more crime - No more nations
You're expecting one well here it goes
It's all been said it's all been done
This world will never change
So I hope it burns down
You're expecting one well here it goes
It's all been said it's all been done
Well fuck the government, fuck the world
I hope they all burn down
I despise the government
And nothing's getting solved
You think you're so fucking right
Well think once for yourself
Try all you want
Nothing's getting solved
False hope
Try all you want
Nothing's getting solved
False hope
Try all you want
Nothing's getting solved
False hope
You can can try all you want
But nothings getting solved
Try all you want
Nothings getting solved
False hope
I have not changed my views
But every band reports the same news
So let them tell you punks not dead
Maybe they can get ahead
Is that the subject you wanna hear
Nothing's changed but the years
Don't wanna repeat someone else's lines
That's such a waste of time
Try all you want
Nothing's getting solved
False hope
Try all you want
Nothing's getting solved
False hope
Try all you want
Nothing's getting solved
False hope
You can can try all you want
But nothings getting solved
Try all you want
Nothings getting solved
False hope
You can try all you want to
But nothing's getting solved
You can try all you want to
But nothing's getting solved
You can try all you want to
But nothing's getting solved
You can try all you want to
You can try all you want!
Try all you want
Nothing's getting solved
False hope
Try all you want
Nothing's getting solved
False hope
Try all you want
Nothing's getting solved
False hope
You can can try all you want
But nothings getting solved
Try all you want
Nothings getting solved
Theirs something I should get off my chest
I'm losing my mind and my life's a mess.
Well everyone says do this and do that
Maybe they're right
I feel like I'm gonna.......
EXPLODE.. I'M GONNA EXPLODE
It is so big yet I feel so small
It's even in your shopping mall
Is my life wasting away
Don't throw it away that's what they say
I don't wanna go out and fail
Yet I fail at home every day
I wonder someday if I'll look back
With regrets on how I lived
Each way I turn I turn my back
Each time I turn I always look back
I'm trying to please everyone I don't know how
I feel like I'm gonna..
EXPLODE.. I'M GONNA EXPLODE
What should I do I really don't know
Should I stay home or should I go
Well I'm struggling with my sanity
Is my life crumbling in front of me.
Do you know how it feels?
To feel like your gonna explode
Do you ever feel
We both lie silently still in the dead of the night
Although we both lie close together
We feel miles apart inside
Was it somethin' I said or somethin' I did
Did my words not come out right
Tho' I tried not to hurt you
Tho' I tried
But I guess that's why they say
Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn
Yeah it does
I listen to your favorite song playin' on the radio
Hear the DJ say love's a game of
Easy come and easy go
But I wonder does he know
Has it ever felt like this
And I know that you'd be here right now
If I could have let you know somehow I guess
Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn
Though it's been a while now
I can still feel so much pain
Like the knife that cuts you
The wound heals, but the scar, that scar remains
I know I could have saved our love that night
If I'd known what to say
Instead if making love
We both made our separate ways
Now I hear you've found somebody new
And that I never meant that much to you
To hear that tears me up inside
And to see you cuts me like a knife, I guess
Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song
It's just cruel
It's just mean
I should've let this stay unseen
I don't believe that something's wrong
I don't believe that something's wrong
Fill up the gates but block the flow
Tilt back the head before they blow
Sit back again enjoy the show
My life's a movie now
I don't believe that anything is wrong
Close my eyes and I will be strong
By tomorrow I will have moved on
I don't believe that anything is wrong
It's just cruel
It's just mean
I should've let this stay unseen
Is this true?
Did you leave this out to read?
I should've let this stay unseen
It's none of my business

I should've let this stay unseen
Faith has blessed, faith has saved
Faith has healed, faith has justified
Being sure of what is hoped for
Certain of what is unseen
Faith overcomes, faith is sincere
Faith as a shield
Faith as rightousness
Being sure of what is hoped for
Certain of what is unseen
Faith in the Father, faith is the Son
Faith in the Spirit

Why are we breeding destroyers of life
Where have we gone so far wrong
Nature or nurture sparks the debate
It's gone on and on so long
In our minds we search for the cause
But when we reach our own brains we pause
I ignore my aggression, I can't seem to see
That driver is in you and me
Hid from the light, blinded from sight
The pressure is built up inside
Hid from the light, mind knows only night
Atom by atom they're formed
I almost lost my way there
It would have been easy to snap
They always said don't hold it in
Don't bottle your feelings inside
(repeat chorus)
It's just cruel
It's just mean
I should've let this stay unseen
I don't believe that something's wrong
I don't believe that something's wrong
Fill up the gates but block the flow
Tilt back the head before they blow

VERSE #1:
I was right in front of you
Standing in clear view
I had so much to show
I was like an open book
You never even looked
So much I wanted you to know
The deepest part of me
You never tried to reach
It would have been so easy
CHORUS:
All you had to do was pay some attention
All you had to do was look past the surface
But you never noticed much of anything
All you had to do was just try to listen
All you ever did was just catch a glimpse
And the tragedy is that you left so much unseen
You left so much unseen
VERSE #2:
You know my favorite color's blue
When I wear something new
And my favorite song
You didn't know my biggest fear
Was that you didn't care
That this ain't the life I want
To be right by your side
And have this great divide
We were close but so far
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
All that ever really mattered
Was overlooked
All you had to do was pay some attention
All you had to do was look past the surface
Seems he's there again knows where to begin it helps him carry on
And he likes the way it feels, for awhile he is happy then he fades away..
But he's sad cos he's running out on you
Running out on you
Running out on you
Running out on you
He's a boy up in a tree and the wind has begun to blow
And it's useless standing there
And he looks up at the stars and he feels like he's going home
And he likes the way it feels...
But he's sad cos he's running out on you
Running out on you
Running out on you
Running out on you
Running backward, falling over, knowing I can't be there for you
Running out on you (x9)
Seems he's there again knows where to begin it helps him carry on
Afraid to feel in seclusion we hide away
This face, unseen, instinct denies true liberty
And thy soul, signifies the true self
Denied the role destined to be alone
Sever the weakened
Sever inside
Will i forever live
In deceit of myself?
Trust my imptression
And i've sold you the lies
That hide as they reflect
The same disguise
Betrayal beneath this, confusion weeps inner tears
Untold in fear, afraid to lose the dignity
And i don't understand why hate should rise
It's just cruel
It's just mean
I should've let this stay unseen
I don't believe that something's wrong

It's just mean
I should've let this stay unseen
Is this true?
Did you leave this out to read?
I should've let this stay unseen
It's none of my business
I hate that I read this
Don't want to address
I want to suppress this
Wow, my life's a movie now
I don't believe that anything is wrong
Close my eyes and I will be strong
By tomorrow I will have moved on
I don't believe that anything is wrong
It's just cruel
It's just mean
I should've let this stay unseen
Is this true?
Did you leave this out to read?
I should've let this stay unseen
I counted to ten, till you attracted attention
Relieved the tension and took the journal you mentioned out
My life's a movie now
I don't believe that anything is wrong
Close my eyes and I will be strong
By tomorrow I will have moved on
I don't believe that anything is wrong
It's just cruel
It's just mean
I should've let this stay unseen
Is this true?
Did you leave this out to read?
I should've let this stay unseen
