So you're tired of hearing us moan and complain,
Just 'cos you don't feel it,
Don't mean there's no pain.
Some are brought up and let down,
Then run through the course,
While they're able to fuck us and feel no remorse.
(Chorus)
Oh Oh Oh! (x4)
Well you've turned on your own,
Kicked dirt in our faces,
We're left with no money, no work, no paces,
Just think what you'd do
If you were in our place,
While reality's waiting, you're taking up space
(Repeat Chorus)
Are you happy? Are you proud?
Then sing real loud!
(Repeat Chorus)

Walk the streets, you point at me, yeah hardcore pride is what you see
Your insults are a parody, cos you're so fucking scared of me
[Chorus:]
We're skinheads, brains, guts! [x2]
Call me ugly, I don't care, I feel good in the clothes I wear
Call me dumb, I've gotta brain, when I'm hurt, I feel the pain
[Chorus]
Smash this town to bits we do, no one's gonna mess with you
Take 'em on we ain't afraid, angry kids so hear us say
[Chorus]

So you're tired of hearing us moan and complain,
Just 'cos you don't feel it,
Don't mean there's no pain.
Some are brought up and let down,
Then run through the course,
While they're able to fuck us and feel no remorse.
(Chorus)
Oh Oh Oh! (4x)
Well you've turned on your own,
Kicked dirt in our faces,
We're left with no money, no work, no paces,
Just think what you'd do
If you were in our place,
While reality's waiting, you're taking up space
(Repeat Chorus)
Are you happy? Are you proud?
Then sing real loud!
(Repeat Chorus)

Tired of hearing us moan and complain
Just cos you don't feel it
Doesn't mean there's no pain
Brought up then let down and run thru the course
Able to fuck us and feel no remorse
This is a cry for the ones who can't fight
We're just the bad seeds who didn't turn out right
We'll get a chance and we'll break down the door
This is the angry, the young and the poor
Turned on your own, kicked the dirt in our face
We're stuck without money, no working, no pace
Just think what you'd do if you were in our place
Reality's waiting while you take up space

The troubles have fallen around me
and nobody seems to respond
what's will I take from this situation?
what will work when my goals are all gone?
[Chorus]
I believe this is temporary
it wont last forever, it's alright
I have faced bigger challenges and bigger set backs in my life
A knee jerk reaction is waiting
for any who dare to oppose
talk of war, always praised, conversations
quickly turn closets friends into foes

I don't need you to tell me, what I've got to do
I'm counting all the days, till I'm rid of you
Tell me what to do, tell me what to say
But no more fuckers, just get outta my way
[Chorus:]
Cos this is - my life, this is - my life
Stupid lame society, you wanna take control of me
Parents wanna run my life, some girls act like my fuckin' wife
[Repeat 1st verse]
[Chorus]
Get off my fuckin' back!
[Chorus]

A street with bodies, filled with guts,
Child's world is such a mess.
One bomb could rip this place apart,
Yet who's to blame, where'd it start.
(Chorus)
America's! War! (2x)
Just one more war by '84,
It's killin' me and killin' you.
These enemies want a little taste
Of what's left of American waste.
(Repeat Chorus)
Our government, they gave the world,
With non of our voices ever heard,
A silence first and then a scream,
So much for the American Dream.
(Repeat Chorus 4x)

I always thought the world revolved around me,
and every word I said was listened to
how could you underestimate my promise
how could you really ever doubt my truth
[Chorus]
first to take it
last to give in
step aside
do you think i'm playing?
believe this world was meant to be own
go for broke
stop for nothing
move along
did you hear what i said?
believe this world was meant to be own
you know parents they raised me to be happy
they always gave me everything i craved
they never let the ugly things affect me
they always made the bad things go away

Action's being taken 'cos of this,
You fucked with us and now we're really pissed.
A hundred times you tried to shut us out,
But silence isn't golden, hear us shout.
(Chorus)
Can't you see we're just too fast,
Diehard youth we're made to last (x2)
Diehard youth we're comin'!

I grew up with love and affection
Know what it means to spread that infection.
No matter waht may stand in my way.
This energy within, it guides me day by day.
At times when I feel there is no way out.
I'll bitch. cry. moan. whine. scream and shout.
But what I'd like to see in the world most today.
We've got to SPREAD IT! SPREAD IT!
Now I know you must be thinking
There is something wrong.
How could I have the nerve.
To write this song.
Well. it's like I've got this feeling.
Stripped away of pride.
A crazy mixed up feeling.
That I just can't hide
Emotion is this great thing.
We've all got it. let it show.
If u can share emotion.
Then by all means let me know.
And if we wanna make a better world today.
SPREAD IT! SPREAD IT! THIS WORLD OVER! GO!!

Narrowminded rednecks, such lame mentality
Believe in old time standards, like guns and bigotry
They say they're proud of their home
This fine old U.S.A.
But asked what color is the one, and see just what they say
Just what they say [x3]
[Chorus:]
I'm stuck in a redneck society!
Fools with age old morals, want the same old thing
Money, war, racism, with nothing in between
They don't want liberals in the way
They just sit back and see
Their power's in the White House and the moral majority
Majority [x3]
I'm stuck in a redneck society!

Take your pick and make a stand,
With no regrets or change of plan,
Keep your head, don't be afraid,
Be proud of the choice you've made.
Support your scene, you must believe,
Never stop just move ahead
(Chorus)
Oh Oh Oh! Deinite Choice!
Be positive, no ignorance,
To mindlessness, we must protest.
'Cause we're for real, we're gonna prove
That our movement's on the move,
Fuck big business, church and war,
That's not what we're fighting for
(Repeat Chorus)

Something's creeping up your way,
With cans of pain and things to say.
We wait until the dead of night,
Then nail everything in sight.
(Chorus)
We will attack in red and black,
Cover the buildings, the walls and the street.
We will attack in red and black,
Graveyard graffiti this whole fucking city.
Lots of kids, with nothing to do,
Important in the eyes of few.
A town with nothin' for the young
An so our crusade has begun.
(Repeat Chorus)

It's a whole other story
is there time, can I tell?
just another adventure
will the end be the same
7,6,5,4,3,2, none
thought it all came together but it all came undone
11,10,9,8,7,6,5
what with all that i've done
i'm just glad i'm alive
maybe there's no answer
and it pains me to think
maybe it doesn't matter
in the world's grander scheme

Tryin' to fucking change my mind, just won't work - No way!
I don't want your stagnant rules, they're for the fools - Not me!
Total anti-government is all I plan to be
No self-proclaimed authority will put their claim to me
[Chorus:]
No authority! Nobody's fool patsy
No authority! I just wanna be -
Ain't a commie, fuck the nazi's, belong to no one's club
No fucking war in any way could make me grab a gun
All I wanna do is just be what I wanna be
But I can't see no future in this lame authority
[Chorus x2]
Me!

I don't feel that prejudice,
Can't see divided lines.
To me we are all just the same,
Our difference in our souls and minds.
You tell me that the difference,
Is red, brown, black and white.
A world of such variety,
To you becomes an excuse for hate.
(Chorus)
We've gotta learn, have hope, unite
And care enough to end this fight.
You're hating with no real insight,
And burning crosses in the night.
A hundred years of barriers,
Yet still we can't see fit
To bring about world unity
And learn to live with it.
Now I'm not just complaining
And I won't preach to anyone,
But we should think about it
'Cos this war has not just begun.
(Repeat Chorus)

WE'RE GONNA FIGHT
We're gonna fight, We know who's right
(Not you)
Time to unite,We're having our say
(Me and you)
Oppossed us long, They've done us wrong
(Dumb fools)
We'll stand up tall,The futures ours
(No rules)
[Chorus]
Me and you
We're gonna fight the narrow minds
Make are own rules, Live your life and I'll live mine!
four long years
And thousands strong
(That's right)
We're not dumb, We're aware
(Go away)
Angry kids, Rebellion rules
(That's cool)
We got our dreams, And we got our hopes
(You know)
(Chorus)
Me and you
We're gonna fight the narrow minds
Make are own rules, Live your life I'll live mine!
(break)
(Chrous twice)
YEAAHH!
We're Gonna Fight
Whoahoahoa [x2]
Fight[x21]

It's Not The Way We Look
It's Not Our Stance Our Style Our Hair
Forget Those Stupid Barriers
Take Down That Flag You Wear
Just People Living On
With Different Hearts And Different Minds
If We Live In The Same World
Why Can't We Stand In The Same Line
If We Can Walk Together
Why Can't We Rock Together
No I Dont Care
If Your Into Different Bands
No Cause For Such Hatred
I'm Just A Different Man
Pull Off The Cover I Will Too
And Learn TO Understand
With Music Deep Inside
We'll Make World Our Unity Plan
If We Can Walk Together
Why Can't We Rock Together
A Label Is A Label
Ddefinition, Nothing More
And Because Of Labels We Have Placed
We Live In Constant War
Destory All That Tradition
And Live Before You Die
Lets Rock Together From Now On
And Never Be Denied

Forget what I just said to you - it's meaningless,
make like i'm not even here - i'm sure you can,
like something that you might have dreamt - a secret kept,
i'd rather not get you upset
i just keep adding to your frustration - oh-oh-oh-oh-oh,
no wonder why you have your reservations - oh-oh-oh-oh-oh,
and i have no excuse for my ways - i never have,
i could blame it on growing up wrong - like everyone,
i could say that this like isn't fair - ridiculous,
i could play on the fact that you care
i just keep adding to your frustration - oh-oh-oh-oh-oh,
no wonder why you have your reservations - oh-oh-oh-oh-oh,
Forget what I just said to you - it's meaningless,
make like i'm not even here - i'm sure you can,
like something that you might have dreamt - a secret kept,
i'd rather not get you upset
i just keep adding to your frustration - oh-oh-oh-oh-oh,
no wonder why you have your reservations - oh-oh-oh-oh-oh,
i just keep adding to your frustration - oh-oh-oh-oh-oh,
no wonder why you have your reservations - oh-oh-oh-oh-oh,

Please give me a second of your time
I'm not going to preach or place the blame on anyone
I hope you know how grateful that I am to you
So many have stay long, carried on
The others have given up the life, hey that's OK
Cuz here we are, we're here for good, we're here to stay
[Chorus:]
This is your parent's, this is your parent's
This is your parent's hardcore! Hardcore!
This is your parent's, this is your parent's
This is your parent's hardcore! Hardcore!
Nobody here's perfect, we've got flaws
I'm probably a bigger fuck-up than you'll ever be
And yet we get through life together, peacefully
Don't call it a comeback, cuz it's not
Been here for years and chances are, we're staying put
You do your best but you cannot re-write the book

All of the promise but minus the knowledge
Why bother now that they teach punk rock in college
Co-opted culture, misguided intention
Hardcore's extinction almost guaranteed
So gifted and smart, everyone looks so pretty
But where is the danger in hot topic city?
Most of them never get past what's on TV
This demographic has a new obsession
This demographic thinks the singer's cute
This demographic doesn't have a fucking clue
(Chorus)
You say I'm bitter, I'm just jealous
I just resent my lack of success
Why should I even care about this?
Why don't I give it up, accept this?
A shitload of talent, but there is no deep end
Forget about passion, there's none in the bloodstream
Follow a band, what's the point, what's the meaning
Why does everybody fucking sound the same
They played 15 shows now they're signed to a label
See them look sexy on magazine covers
Make-up applied and they're all photo-friendly
This record label has the perfect roster
This record label has a formula
This record label made you an instant millionaire
(Chorus)

1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4! no matter what you say. no matter what you do. it makes no difference at all to me. you do all that you can to grab the upperhand, but it won't make me change the way i feel. in this world of mine there is room for change, but i'll still keep my history. in this world of mine i will take the time to strip away the mystery. 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4! i'm happy where i stand. things are looking up again. i'll enjoy it while i can before it ends. and you'll keep on being mad. talk of all the things you've had. maybe some day you will get them again. in this world of mine there is room for change, but i'll still keep my history. in this world of mine i will take the time to strip away the mystery. in this world of mine there is room for change, but i'll still keep my history. in this world of mine i will take the time to strip away the mystery.

You're beatin' up on your friends,
'Cos you're so insecure,
You wanna be the toughest,
But we all know for sure,
You thrash because you know
You're gonna start another fight,
But maybe when it's too late,
You'll finally see the light,
(Chorus)
You're tough, you fight, you win, so what! (2x)
You listen to the music,
It's the coolest thing to do,
But you don't ever listen
To what it says to you.
Your boots don't make you bigger,
Your pose is nothing new,
Someday it's gonna happen
When we watch you fuckin' lose
(Repeat Chorus 4x)

Hey now I've this feeling
That I've never felt before,
I know it ain't cool to say this now,
But I can't help the way I feel inside.
Around you I can be the way I am,
Be happy, pissed or sad,
But the things I always think about
Are of feelings we have shared.
(Chorus)
'Cos when we are together there is something
That I have with you, Trust!
And as we're growin' closer I can feel it
Flowing out from you, Trust!
I hope you can feel the same way
That I do, Trust!
If there's one thing down between us
That's a must, it's Trust!
Look now, we can share emotion
Something that we both thought was just too tough,
Aggression, love and honesty,
There could never be enough.
All I wanna do is just let you know that I care,
And when things get too hard for you,
Look back and I'll be there.
(Repeat Chorus)
You inspire me intensely
Without any doubt.
You keep me thinking, help me try,
Show that I can do without,
With you there's more foundation,
More than any other time,
And when it comes to you my heart is true,
Until the day I die

Got that crazy feeling
Scared you don't know why
Head is spinning faster
Haze is in your eyes
And now you take a deep breath
Wipe sweat off your face
Your head and heart keep pounding
Sets a frenzied pace
Now the wall gets stronger
Bodies hitting hard
Air is thick and heavy
No room left to breathe
Now you feel the tension
Eyes are open wide
Nothing like this feeling
Aggression deep inside
Buzz is in your head now
Bones that start to ache
Got that natural energy
No more mental state now
Something you can't fake

The older I become
I can't help thinking hard about,
What's really gonna happen,
And what's in store for
Us and them is bullshit,
And if we're gonna make it work
We've gotta care together
And see this too the end, see it to the end
(Chorus)
It'll take some time to fix it up
But that is something we must do,
With solid hearts and clearer minds,
We'll raise our voice and blast right through.
We'll stop the ones who fuck it up,
And show the world that they can't stop the crew.
The crew is me, the crew is you, yeah we're the crew!
The threat of war ain't over,
And yes I fear it's getting near,
With all this hate inside us,
It all may just start.
Here now will you listen,
Or would you rather just ignore
You say we have no future,
Do we have a chance? Do we have a chance?!
(Repeat Chorus)

Busy with this special thing that takes me far away,
Living for the music if the spirit's gone, why did it fade.
I see you every once in a while, so little I can say,
I know how things have gone for you, you seem so far away. [2x]
[Chorus]
Tied up, tied up in rhythm, that's my crime to you!
And everything keeps getting tied up, tied up so tight, I don't know why.
You walked beside me, every step, until a dream had found,
A spot that drove me harder, and harder I keep pushing on,
I hope you won't forget me, the way I treated you,
Until I slow down a bit, I don't know what to do. [2x]
[Chorus]
Dear shadow does it seem I've let you down,
Say lonesome, I never meant to let you down,
I'm sorry, I've taken for granted you'd be around.

See you out there, it's like you'll dance the night away,
But the feelings aren't too good because you need to lead the way,
You call them friends, but now to you they have no air to breath,
And when the time is right you know you'll have to have the final say
[Chorus]
Music makes you feel good, so why make it a drag,
Too boots, the fist, the stance, you're out to win a loser's game,
How hard is it, to take them, when size is on your side,
Too blind to see, it's just a shame, when music's played in vain,
Big man with mean face now, are you bigger than you seem,
Find time to push around, and bring it down, until there's nothing left
Our music and our message, out of love more than exists
Are you there to hear it stop now, are you there to see it end
[Chorus]
But it happens and it happens, and we can not be afraid,
There's so many still who give a damn, but the good ones always seem to fade,
Is our future in the hands of those who dance the night away,
Or are you with me as I sing this song, cause we've got more to say
Take a look around, do you see what's goin' down,
Take a look around, don't pretend it's not goin' down

Through troubled times, news of hatred, death and war,
Find signs of an end, but it may just seem to be okay,
And I'm not alone, when I say I feel enough to think,
I know there's dark in all things so I find the light and struggle on
[Chorus]
Lead me with a grip so tight, I'll move ahead, I'll break the path,
I'll cross the line, and still reach out,
Wash my mind or stab my back but spirit stays my friend,
You can not sway what's on the inside
Messin' around, but if it feels like serious, I fall to the ground,
And I pick myself up, so I can face th days,
Learn on my own but I get so much from things I see these days,
Vivid, so clear, I can't see why it's hard to understand

if what you see is what you get.
just look toward us and never fret.
i'll sing this 'till i can't no more.
a part of what i'm waiting for.
it's there so strong and can you see
a force. and what we have is strength.
[repeat]
and what we have is STRENGTH!
all we need it's what we got!

i just can't stand around and play along like good dogs do
cause when i live the lie i know my time here is all through
we all try cutting corners
yeah we all prefer the ease
but i can't see above the fray when i'm down on my knees
don't worry, i'm still on it, on it
still strong and on it, on it
this song goes on and on and on
don't worry, i'm still on it, on it
still strong and on it, on it
this song goes on and on and on
i won't pretend to be some hardcore tough guy cause i'm not
but my strength comes from what's inside
my heart is all i've got
it may not be too thug-like and i may not win the fight
at least i'll know i've done my best and what i thought was right
don't worry, i'm still on it, on it
still strong and on it, on it
this song goes on and on and on
don't worry, i'm still on it, on it
still strong and on it, on it
this song goes on and on and on
woah! wooah! woah! wooah! woooah!!
don't worry, i'm still on it, on it
still strong and on it, on it
this song goes on and on and on
don't worry, i'm still on it, on it
still strong and on it, on it
this song goes on and on and on

Look into the mirror
Do I like my own reflection
Not the way my face is looking
But the motives for my actions
I can con my friends and family
But the truth is ever-lurking
Gotta face myself forever
My decisions, my endeavors
(Chorus)
In another world I could run away
Not worry, not care
Not bother, not dare
I could stand here and just stare
And when I'm interacting
Am I sincere, am I humble
Do I take the time to reason
Lend a hand when someone stumbles
I can sing these songs, be happy
But the sadness always lingers
Find the passion that will feed me
Can I grab it with my fingers
(Chorus)
(breakdown)
(Chorus)

You say you're scared, we're not to blame
'Cos mindless violence ain't our claim,
A new breed's here, we're gonna stay,
And break down all your shallow ways
(Chorus)
'Cos we are the new kids,
We've got our heads,
We'll keep on fighting,
'Til old ways are dead.
Clenched fists, black eyes! (x2)
We're aiming for a different goal,
Succeeding where the hippies failed.
But one thing's sure and you can bet,
We'll be more than a drugged-out threat!
(Repeat Chorus)

both of us too fucking stubborn. neither is willing to give just a little. ramming our heads into nothing. winning a war that is non-existent. sooner or later will we work together? who knows? or will we resign to the fact that that's just how it goes? you're seeing things in your own way. while i'm seeing things in the opposite. and we think we're so fucking different. unwilling to buckle or deal with it. sooner or later will we work together? who knows? or will we resign to the fact that that's just how it goes? sooner or later will we work together? who knows? or will we resign to the fact that that's just how it goes? sooner or later will we work together? who knows? or will we resign to the fact that that's just how it goes?

I know I've cried so many times, by far I've had some doubts,
And faces, faces, faces change, but still I have to shout,
Things have had me worried, will I ever have to be alone,
Then closed up doors push forward, see a side I've never known--oh!
[Chorus]
Somebody, somebody, somebody, help me scream
Somebody, somebody, somebody, Help! Me! Scream!
Someone there to drown the fire, but a passion bonds a solid link
Heartbeat, heartbeat, heartbeat, skipping faster as I sink.
Is this a stay of dedication, when it's time to bail out,
Tell me is that what life is all about--Oh!

yeah, i'm glad that i came up when i did
had no choice, but to stay underground
this band helped me get though all the bullshit
without music would i be around?
say my thanks and be on my way
i gotta feel it, hear it today
when i look back, does it bother me
i'll never let it get in my way
say my thanks and be on my way
i gotta feel it, hear it today
when i look back, does it bother me
i'll never let it get in my way
well, we mentioned the music, the message
what it mean, is it different for you?
do you hold it inside, keep it secret
does it just give you something to do?
say my thanks and be on my way
i gotta feel it, hear it today
when i look back, does it bother me
i'll never let it get in my way
say my thanks and be on my way
i gotta feel it, hear it today
when i look back, does it bother me
i'll never let it get in my way
my way! today! no way!!

You better tell somebody,
go on, you might as well,
document your feelings,
it might be your last chance you can't tell,
scream and shout about it,
make sure it's good and loud,
if you're unsure about it,
it really doesn't matter anyhow
who says there are rules to follow?
will you be around tomorrow?
time out, use your own expression,
you can't take this life for granted - go!
get your pens and pencils,
better write this down,
cuz soon enough it's over
and when your gone this part around,
work hard to rise above it,
you'll have to figure how
a plain and simple message,
why be another face amongst the crow?
who says there are rules to follow?
will you be around tomorrow?
time out, use your own expression,
you can't take this life for granted - go!

Do you think that all blacks are niggers?
Ignorance is an attitude
You wallow in your racist stupor
Have you really stopped to think?
Do you believe in the K.K.K., do you think White Power rules today?
Would you like to shoot a white man dead, would you like to bust
a black man's head - No way!
In England there's the National Front, headstrong bunch, these fuckin' cunts
With Webster as their figurehead, they liberate Hitler as he lies dead
They think they're so bloody tough, paki-bashing ain't enough
Martin Webster like the K.K.K., map out all the plans his own way
[Chorus:]
Racism sucks [x6]
Racism fucking sucks!
Some black folks call the white race scum, cos they think we are the only ones
Who only live in prejudice, while a lot of blacks live just the same
Do you really judge a man, by the color of his skin
You got the color, you got no right, to fuck up everybody else's life
[Chorus]
Kill, kill the K.K.K. Destroy Martin Webster!
Kill, kill the K.K.K. Destroy Ronald Reagan!

PANIC ATTACK
I thought it was over
I thought I was dying
Told myself I could get past the depression
There was no water
Yet I was still drowning
Head full of cotton
No, nothing was working
(Chorus)
A part of me that never goes away
I feel its presence every single day
Someday I'll find a way to break free from anxiety
I've had this on my back for years
This dread I'm felling, dread I fear
I'll figure out a way to break free from anxiety
So dizzy, unfocused
I had trouble breathing
Afraid all alone and to be around others
The pain seemed so real
But it's hard to fathom
It's not in my body; it's all fucking mental
(Chorus)
No time for the mind to wander
Won't cave into the weight I'm under
Small steps but I'm moving forward
(Chorus)

Will someone make it happen
Take time and work it out
Will people stand together
Who's gonna be the next to rise up, spread the message
Spread the word?
Somebody's got an answer
Someone will found a way
Who'll make the comeback record
Who's going to be the one to make it all as great as it once was?
(Chorus)
Don't you tell me I'm being nostalgic
I'm not looking to go back in time
Take it back, take it on, take it over
Nothing more, just our core, re-defined
Somebody call somebody
Get busy, do it now
Don't wait another second
No stroke of luck or miracle is really gonna help us now
Forget about the fashion
Forget about the fame
Remember why we do this
Why waste your efforts on the things that mean
The least in this whole world?
(Chorus)

I always think about you, alone or with the band,
Just having something very special now, can it last very long?
Do you doubt just how I feel, can you tell that it's for real?
Just sharing certain feelings we all know,
The truth down from within
[Chorus]
Listen, but I can only show you, at times it's so hard with words,
We've gone this far and made it work,
You've got to know, that part is true,
Can you tell, that what I say, comes from my heart, it's taken time,
To put these words to music, I don't mind
You seem to doubt my sincerity, I'm hoping that you see,
Just try to look much deeper, then you'll know just how I feel,
Will you try to understand, sometimes I may get out of hand,
But knowing that you're by my side

He said, "Come along, that urge has come again and now I'm feeling strong",
Expectations of you, don't care is you want to want along,
Love for those who make it without knowing how another feels,
The fact is, what you do is rape, it never crossed your mind before,
[Chorus]
An opinion of feelings
It's just pride, no real depth,
Opinion of feelings,
Do those feelings mean anything at all
He's pulled you down, he's taking aim, you wonder what he's waiting for,
And he may get his way this time, but will he ever change your mind,
A sharp resentment, guilt, deep pain, all this in the act of love,
And now you're just a victim of his gain, a selfish game

Another deal is done
I hope you get the things that you most wanted
A price that we all pay
Don't try and act like you are not the reason
I'm almost glad it's happened
Happy that you're gone, that you crossed over
We're better off this way
We never were that tight, you've never been my brother
(Chorus)
You're just one friend that I never had in the first place
One friend that I'll just consider a waste
One friend too many, to make it healthy
One friend too many, too many for me
The change was bound to come
You gave yourself away with all your signs and symbols
To each his own I say
It doesn't mean I have to like what I see
You say "no damage done"
You find the right wing really does it for you
You're having way more fun
Your fucked up attitude is working for you
(Chorus)
We can both co-exist in the same world
Put distance in between us
Truce on, what do you say?
We're better off this way
(Chorus)

Man you've gotta problem, who made you fuckin' king
A macho pig with nothing in your head.
No girls around you, their place is not at gigs,
Don't want 'em on the dance floor 'cos they're weak.
A woman's place, the kitchen, on her back,
It's time to change that attitude, and quick.
(Chorus)
Showing us your phobias, you're scared to see 'em think,
You'd rather dress 'em up in pretty lace,
All nice and colored pink.
You feel so fucking threatened,
When they stand out in front,
A stupid, passive piece of meat is all you really want
But it's:
Not just boys' fun (4x)
There's girls who put out fanzines, others put on shows,
Yet they're not allowed to get out on the floor.
Some make the music, well that you can accept.
Hell, maybe live you'll get some tits and ass
You fucking moron, your brains have run amuck,
A girl's only lot in life is not to fuck!
(Repeat Chorus)

i said i'm not angry about it. but you're not convinced of that fact. you want to paint a depressing picture. you think i'm down from the flack. but let me make this loud and clear. i hope you'll finally understand. cause this is just a song, another message from a friend. you're free to voice your opinion. while i'm free to laugh in your face. you get along with no sense of humor. you can't keep up with the pace. but let me make this loud and clear. i hope you'll finally understand. cause this is just a song, another message from a friend. but let me make this loud and clear. i hope you'll finally understand. cause this is just a song, another message from a friend.

Excuse me, just wait one sec, have you ever really listened to a thing we've said,
You're not convinced that we could ever be a major force,
But just another youth subculture with a different song,
But for others, there's this other side,
not really looking for some credit for the things we've tried
Communication, it could work so fast,
Just cuz now you say it's over, does that make it past
[Chorus]
We could be the new wind - oh, oh!
We could be the new wind - Do you know, do you care?
We could be the new wind - oh, oh?
We could be the new wind - Will you try, will you dare?
A simple dream, no, not just that, can you just appreciate there's something we must find,
I'm not a "punker," just a human being, with this urge to exercise,
What's in my heart and mind,
It's not me hiding, from reality, pretend that I can shine it, turn around and walk away,
The contradiction, seems to follow you, assuring that there is really nothing we can't do

I think our thing is good
not everybody should
made some choices,
stuck with them
have never regretted
not one single moment
not one single minute
Worked hard to find our way
fought just to have our say
and we have you to thank for the years of support
from deep in my heart
will never forget this
[Chorus]
I sing this song for you
this one goes out to my band and to our crew
no better thing to do
I give it up to my band and to our crew
It's been a long, long time
looks like it's turned out fine
when we made the decision
to follow our vision
would it have been better to bend under pressure?
I'm glad we stuck it out
survived the floods and drought
you might not understand
I'm not sure that you can
it's a family
a band
hope it all never ends

Daddy always told you, do it like a man, never get too friendly,
ome won't understand, friends have got you in on all those "hard" things that they've planned,
All your life they told you, never shed a tear, cuz boys don't crave affection,
Boys ain't got no fear,
But did they ever show you how to shut those feelings on then off again
[Chorus]
And now you gotta hide yourself, hide yourself away,
Show you care and you might show the world that you're only gay,
Crying is for babies, for boys is it a sin,
To be a caring, sharing, loving, human one
Handshake show you're friendly, but don't get caught,
You gotta fight to prove you're not afraid, fuck just to prove you're not,
And all your life you play this game and it goes on and on and on and on,
Now you've grown into a man, proud as hell to be,
It's now your turn to raise a son, don't let him be one,
And you can teach him all the things you were taught yourself

Daddy always told you, do it like a man, never get too friendly,

you wanna be the way i am
but you could never understand
you shave your fuckin head
then you turn your back
on your best friends
[Chorus]
it's not just in my head
it's in my heart
(it's in my heart)
and you're not gonna
tear this one apart
the way you look it fits
how come your attitude is shit?
you say you do it your own way
but now i have the price to pay
[repeat chorus]
if i can give a fuck
you better start, so...
use your head be aware
give a fuck!
the same routine. fuck up again
you have no real regrets
but this is not just something
i can easily forget
[repeat chorus]
i can't believe you've come this far
yet still so unaware
no cause no brains no fire inside
when will you learn to care

I hate watching football games, baseball is so fuckin' lame
T.V. sports they all suck shit
Howard Cosell is a wimp
[Chorus:]
I hate sports, I hate sports
I hate sports, I hate sports
I hate watching baseball games, boxing is so fuckin' lame
Ali and his old aged fame, yeah he's washed up, he's fuckin' tame
[Chorus]

i watched you while you walked with her. made sure she played her part, demure. she couldn't get a word in, around you. you ask her where she's going to and who she's spent time talking to. but you don't care what she's been going through. another trophy, tough guy! someone to bully, tough guy! now won't you hurry up, and die soon? your latest conquest, she's nothing more. your part time punching bag and whore. she knows her place and stays there, around you. surprised you even know her name. you treat your women all the same. consistent in the pain you put them through. another trophy, tough guy! someone to bully, tough guy! now won't you hurry up, and die soon? i see you found another trophy, tough guy! you're nothing but a fucking bully, tough guy. another trophy, tough guy! someone to bully, tough guy! now won't you hurry up, and die soon?

Hatred I can't stand it anymore.
The color of our skin we must ignore.
Do you feel the pain or see the hurt,
Or do you let it pass right by instead?
(Chorus)
This fighting, dividing, y'know we'll only lose (2x)
How come we can stand for such a crime,
Racial hate, a real sign of the times.
We've gotta raise our voice, begin the fight
And equal world held high is in our sight.
(Repeat Chorus)
Is this prejudice a way of life, tell me!
Do you wanna be just like your friends, pressure!
Is it 'cos you just jumped by someone, is it?
You're condemning those who choose to live, unfair!

Hey it's 1984,
With a glimpse of what's in store,
It looks like things are up to us,
No talk, just action in the streets,
That's what it's gonna take,
No calm youth in the U.S.A.
(Chorus)
It's summertime, American riot!
I can't complain, unless I try it!
The heat is here, a teenage warning!
To those who fear, here's your warning!
This could be the year
That we could make some people think,
With smarter minds we'll hit the streets,
United we must make our stand,
Divided we will fall,
But it's up to us to take that step
(Repeat Chorus)
Complacent kids, that's all they want,
But if they want trouble they'll get it!
Amidst years of youth unrest
And now someone is pissed, right!
(Repeat Chorus)

Standing scared you've always been that way
Fight your own fight
Paranoia every single day
Fight your own fight
Afraid to take a chance and be involved
Fight your own fight
Your self pride is hanging on a rack
When will you stand up and help us be strong?
How can you face life and live with yourself?
Do you see justice in what they have done?
You see confrontation and you turn and run
One of us gets beaten to a pulp
Fight your own fight
You just turn and look the other way
Fight your own fight
Unite we have, but you're too fucking scared
Fight your own fight
Commit yourself , you never fucking dared
Fight your own fight

we don't have too much time now... to say too many things. words all cramped up together. we'll do our best to sing. wo oh oh oh, wo oh oh oh oh! and now we're almost finished... the end is coming soon. just one more verse and chorus, but there is no more room. wo oh oh oh, wo oh oh oh oh!

Drugs make you a man
They help you understand
It's a cheap escape and it's nothin' great
But you do them when you can
Drugs make you turn on me!
Drugs will not set you free!
Your money buys you dope
Say you just can't cope
But friends are cheap, when drugs can keep
A buzz inside your head

It's hard to tell you how I feel, exactly what do I say,
These feelings from within for now, they just get in my way,
It seems that lately for some reason, we've been torn apart,
A bond so strong at one point, has it been blown away,
[Chorus]
I'm gonna say this now and I won't hold back,
Have our hearts grown apart, do we still have a chance?
Do we still have those hopes and dreams?
And then I feel like giving in, forgetting what's been said,
Pretend like things are just the way, they were when we were young,
To share emotions we have shared, in friendship, brotherhood

go! seems like the dark clouds have faded and all that frustration is gone. i waited and waited for something to come move this bad thing along. now i know that i'm good to go. i can move far ahead. with this weight lifted off of me i can get out of bed. go! days that feel so thick and heavy. they'll always come and they'll go. it's best to get up and get something done, even if things start up slow. now i know that i'm good to go. i can move far ahead. with this weight lifted off of me i can get out of bed. now i know that i'm good to go. i can move far ahead. with this weight lifted off of me i can get out of bed.

I keep thinking each and every day.
Have I really made a difference, have I made things change?
In all these years of "growing up," and "standing strong,"
Has it made a single dent with all that is so wrong?
[Chorus]
But if I haven't done a thing for world affairs,
At least I know I try and I'll show that I care.
'Cause it's me that has to make an effort,
Or what can I expect to change.
That's where it starts, in myself,
Not just shifting all the blame.
And as I'm growin' older, I can see the changes.
Yet history ain't history at all it seems,
I try to keep my head held high, eyes open wide,
And growing keeps me learning, yeah it keeps me free.
[Chorus]
What have you got to think that time will stop for you?

I just got back to routine, it goes from day to day,
I've got this sneaky feeling, gets closer as we play,
After months and months of planning, hard work to hit the road,
No sense of "security" you get when you're at home,
[Chorus]
And just for you, there is a calendar, not just a need for the time
But just 'cause you're on my mind,
It's made of days, this simple calendar,
But it feels like years going by, where do I cry
I've rearranged my whole life, such things are hard for two,
But still the music keeps me going and my heart is set on you,
We see so many faces, do cities look the same,
I'll take this voyage anyway, and hope someday you'll go

All you talk about is you,
But we've got better things to do.
You're proving that you're tough and shit,
But we're for real so don't forget.
(Chorus)
We're fun, you're not,
We play, you fight,
You're off, we're not,
That chip is all you got!
You go out and fight the world,
Beat up boys and beat up girls.
And nothing's gonna change your ways,
You look at us, but we just say:
(Repeat Chorus)
Now another bully comes,
Beats your ass, away you run.
He'll be here to wear the crown,
'Til another comes around.

Some year's gone by but I believe - Still!
And in my heart I still feel - Real!
I'd rather die before I'd call it quits
Cos I can't feel the way that you feel
A commitment, that will remain inside
Just something I will never forget
Don't tell me, that it's just my pride,
A built in part of what's inside my head
I've sacrificed a lot and still feel strong - Still!
But odds were that it wouldn't last for long - Wrong!
Beliefs and views get stronger every way
Tell me friend just where you stand today
People say I've changed, say I'm much different now
I've lost friends, jobs, money so tell me why...
Let me hear your reasons, cuz I shaved my head
And it changed my head
What about our friendship, you say I'm such a bore
And I'm "too" hardcore
Now you just ignore me, well fuck you man
Are you happy now?
Promises were broken, but who broke them first?

We got the green light, nothing's in the way
the TVs on and the bombing stars today
We got the green light, nothing's in the way
the TVs on and the bombing stars today
sitting here but it isn't clear
does it make much sense to you?
once again pounded in our heads,
and there's nothing we can do
images of a hundred things,
neatly edited and sold,
tried to find just one ounce of truth,
and it's ass out, in the cold
We got the green light, nothing's in the way
the TVs on and the bombing stars today
We got the green light, nothing's in the way
the TVs on and the bombing stars today
talking heads, tell a story,
see if we can catch the spin,
so good at painting pictures when will
this shit ever end?
a curve is thrown by a source, unknown,
journalism at it's worst
a race to see who makes history,
and who will make it first
We got the green light, nothing's in the way
the TVs on and the bombing stars today
We got the green light, nothing's in the way
the TVs on and the bombing stars today

You pay your money to get in
You're ready for some fun
But once you get in you're afraid
To get close to anyone
You dance around real tough and mean
Got macho thrash appeal
Your image here is what's at stake
And not the way you feel
In the pit, you can't be yourself
You're an image of what's cool
And you ignore your friends
Just another fool
The hole grows bigger by the second
And soon there's no one left
No arms in arms cos in your eyes
It looks too fucking queer
But what's wrong with our unity
Friends having fun as friends
That pit is just a barrier
And soon we hope to end

The other day we talked so long
About our history
And all that had gone wrong
Big hardcore mystery
And images I keep
So vivid, buried deep
Of days and years gone by
There is no reason why
(Chorus)
A new day, a new time
Why don't we let the kids give it a try
A new way, a new plan
Why should we get
What we don't understand
Let all accomplishments speak loud
Why shouldn't we feel proud
A lot has happened since
Big hardcore influence
Some even tried to steal the name
But it was not the same
If our best days are behind
Let's hope some kids will find...
(Chorus)
(guitar break)
(chorus)

you're really down
you've hit the skids
you never seem to get ahead
you blame us all, for your big fall
you're pointing fingers everywhere
but you don't care, you never cared
you could hardly give a fuck, you drain the life
you always try, to take away the good things..
before you take it all
i gotta keep some for myself
before you take it all
i gotta keep some for myself
you've always been
so selfish and you never care who it affects
impossible, oblivious, you're so obnoxious
so direct, you're never scared
you always get exactly you need
out of control, you've got no soul
it's really greet that fuels you...
before you take it all
i gotta keep some for myself
before you take it all
i gotta keep some for myself

Romper room, you think it's fun, play your games on everyone
Do your best to be a fool, think you're cute, think it's cool
[Chorus:]
Don't you be a bit surprised, that maybe soon they'll realize
3 of you, and you're the same, busy playing baby games
Run around like 2 year olds, the way you act is getting old
Talk behind our backs, I say, monkey see's the only way
[Chorus]

Prejudice throughout the land, don't look at us, we're anti-klan
Black hates white, white hates black
Tell me why, I don't understand
[Chorus:]
I don't want a fuckin' race war - No way!
I don't want no segregated schools - No way!
I wanna have the right to choose my friends - Fuck you!
I don't want your narrowminded ways
Racial groups, they plan attack
I guess they think we won't fight back
I care about all human beings
And not the color of their skin
[Chorus]
We're anti-klan! [x4]
