We live in a world full of injustice and discrimination
Where people are shit but do you think I care
I see people struggling and fighting the system
To make the world better and I laugh when they fail
This is the world we made and I love it
Our world is dying so let's enjoy it
Rape recession invasions starvation discrimination
None of this means shit to me
Over a quarter of a million people died in the Persian Gulf War
I don't give a fuck, I didn't know any of them
I see people on the streets hungry and out of work
Well fuck them, I've got a job
If we're gonna have a war, let's have a real war
We've got all these nuclear weapons sitting around doing nothing; let's fire them off
Let's rape Mother Nature, Let's use all the world's oil
Leave nothing for the future because we won't be there
Let's have a blast as we burn down the forests
And poison the oceans, who really cares?
This world is ours, we can do what we want with it
If the world's gotta end, let's just do it
Abuse sickness drugs and degradation
None of this means shit to me
Killing animals for science is wrong
We should kill them for fun
Fuck the dirty little animals
It's survival of the fittest and we won
Let's get rid of all the ugly trees and dump our shit in the oceans
Let's get the factories pumping out some real pollution
All this clean air is making me choke
And if the environmentalists don't like it, well, fuck 'em!
And fuck the peace punks, too! What the fuck is a "peace punk?"
That's a contradiction in terms
And fuck the feminists too
What are feminists?
They just want to be men
If they have penis envy then that's their problem
Once I was young and on fire
The world was open to me
Now I'm just stuck in a rut
Trying to pay my bills and get by
Life has cheated me
I will never be free
All that I was is gone
I just wait here to die
Every day the same old thing
Same dull job, same dull life
Put a gun against my head
When will you realize you can't change anything
With just an "X" on your hand
When will you realize that unity is just another word
If you don't follow through
These walls you build between us are the ones
You claim to be breaking down
I don't buy your superior attitude
When will you realize?
You cast me off because I'm not like you
You think you're cool with your ways
You self righteous child
This dilemma we face, we could face together
If you would really open your minds
I've been beaten and battered and my wounds never mend
I've been on this journey forever, I never want it to end
There's so much that I've seen, yet so much I don't know
I can't stay in one place while I have this longing to go
The life of a wanderer is all I'll ever see
All I know is no place will be a home to me
Now I've still got to continue my journey
My time here is fading fast
Soon I go, never to return, for I am the past
There ain't no place for me -- I hate my life, I hate my
Keep my head on straight -- keep my brains intact
Keep my marbles inside -- Show me how to act
Keep me in control of my situation
My gyroscope inside, it's all mine
Shrink my head down if you can
Find out what makes me a man
Get your periscope and peer right inside
One day you'll all die
All your lives were just a lie
No escaping death, you can't run away
Lie to yourselves and blindly pray
Try to hide, you just won't see
There is no God, there's only me
Fuck your religion
I'll burn your churches down
I spit on your priests
And piss on your sacred ground
You're so fucking brainwashed
You just can't see
If you need something to believe in
You can worship me
Moo.
No milk today.
I can build you up I can tear you down
I can force you to your knees down on the ground
I can steal your dreams I can steal your hope
And I can leave you hanging from a rope
I can make you scream I can make you cry
I can push you to the point where you want to die
I tell you what to think I tell you what to say
Whenever you follow me I lead you astray
I can take your soul and tear it apart
I wake up every morning and I take a deep breath
I'm another day older and closer to death
I'm searching for a secret to see what life's all about
But I'm fighting against the clock and my time's running
I want to find the truth, I don't have enough time to try
Only one thing is certain, I have time enough to die
Time's my only enemy and time's what it's all about
Time is all I have and my time's running out
Time laughs while I struggle and time laughs while I
bleed
Time's almost up now and time's all I need
All our time's running out but we still try and pretend
But this road we're all going down is just a dead end
Time's catching up and there's no running away
Time is going to chase me until my dying day
I want to fight time but I don't know where to begin
I am a man, as a man I must think freely
I can't believe all I'm told
I try all I can, all I can, but I see clearly
There is no immortal soul
If God is so just, how can he damn me
If He made me who I am
God is a lie and the lie must be wiped out
Man chooses his own fate
They say that Jesus died to take away my sins
No one takes from me, not even Him
They say the Torah is God's law, more laws to keep me
down
Krsna says there's karma, what goes around comes around
But I'm a nonbeliever, the biggest sinner you ever met
I sin every day, and I'm not dead yet
I'll fight against your God, I'll fight against his lie
I look in the mirror but I don't know the face
I try going downtown but it's a different place
I toss and I turn, I can't sleep at night
I can't figure it out, but something's not right
I look at the faces of the friends I once knew
I'm all wound up, I don't know what to do
There's an answer hiding in the back of my head
I'm 22 years old and I'm already dead
How did I get here and where am I going?
I find I'm stagnating when I thought I was growing
This isn't what I wanted but I'm here anyway
You sit on the corner and you drink your beer
You say you're going to change the world, the
revolution's here
But the rich laugh at you while you think you're so smart
Because the whole world to you is Tompkins Square Park
No more, we rise, we fight, never give in
You say you're politically correct and you're so great
But morals alone won't bring down the state
It takes deeds not words to make the system fall
I've lived my life too hard and too fast
Now I can never live out the dreams of my past
To be loved and wanted are things I'll never feel
Happiness and contentment are to me so unreal
So just send me off to that foreign land
Let me see if I can make my final stand
Forget all about me, don't even say goodbye
Hey Rudeboy, I see you walking down the street in your $200 suit and your spit shine Doc Martens on, on your way downtown to see a Ska show. Rudeboy, you're so cool.
Rudeboy. Skinhead. Asshole.
You tell me you believe in the Spirit of '69, Rudeboy. Man, you were in fucking diapers back then, who are you kidding? And what is Ska music? That's like second-rate beach blanket music.
Rudeboy. Skinhead. Asshole.
I see you lowlife rudeboys walking down the street, I just wanna mash your brains in, and eat your fuckin' eyeballs, and cut your bellies open, and fuckin' wipe my ass on your entrails!
Rudeboy. Skinhead. Asshole.
Every moment of my life I'm locked inside this cage
Feeding fuel to the fire that encompasses my rage
Living in this world where I'm told how to behave
But I'll do just as I please, I won't be another slave
I'll fight for what I want, I can't sit back and wait
But it never seems enough, it just builds up my hate
Pure hate is all i need, pure hate is all I'll be
If I'm left without my hate there'll be nothing left of me
I saw fuselage coming down on me
Separating life from limb
A shower of aluminum, glass and blood
All for some alien political disease
103 103 103
Crashburncrashburn
It's a bad dream I feared once
That will recur for months or even years
The tightened fingers let the rats escape
A risk in this complex world
But three hundred promises disappeared
And brought us to sift this Scottish land
Retaliation forever circles
Meanwhile a radio above explodes history
Suffocation at 33 thou, the impact never heard
They're trying our patience, those crafty ones
It's a bad dream I feared once
There is no silver lining in the sky
There is no God judging from on high
There is no hereafter for us when we die
There is no eternity, it's all been a lie
There is no great unknown and no reason why
There is no order to the way things lie
There is no secret so don't even try
There is no salvation -- we just die
We hide from our fate, it's horror too stark
The truth still remains -- there's nothing in the dark
Nothing is our future, nothing's where we're from
The times are changing, we've got to move ahead
We can't live in the past, our scene is already dead
Hardcore is in my heart, for me it will never die
The scene today is nothing but a lie
You want to bring back old days that you never knew
It's time to make a change and it's up to you
No! We?
Can't bring back the days of '82
It's time to move on and make something new
Work for the future, not for the past
We were the dead end kids, we never cared
We lived with one foot in the grave
The night were one long blur
We'd sooner die before conform
The future was one big joke
The scene was all we had
We separated ourselves from the outside world
There were too many things we didn't want to know
Oi! Oi! music for the dead end kids
We still have no regrets for the way we lived
We had our golden days of "Live fast die young"
But now we're getting older and our day is done
We were the dead end kids without a hope or a home
We were the lost generation, now we're having kids of our
We were the dead end kids going nowhere fast
Well now that we're nowhere we're trying to relive our
past
It's too sad to look back on the lives we led
We can't go on pretending that our scene's not dead
We let it slip away without our knowing
I want to be alone -- Just keep the fuck away from me
All I've done and all I've tried
Done it by myself, no one at my side
I want to be alone -- Don't want no friends or families
I want to be alone
Don't give a fuck what you think about me
Don't talk to me, don't want to know your name
People are shit and you're all the same
I want to be alone -- Just keep the fuck away from me
I want to be alone
You can keep your love and shove it up your ass
I want to be alone
I'd rather stick your face with broken glass
All my friends have moved away or died
All the women I've trusted have always lied
I want to be alone
You see me on the street, just walk on by
I want to be alone
I'd like nothing better than to see you die
Don't talk to me, don't want to know your name
People are shit and you're all the same
You never thought that I could live my life without you
Did you?
Some men fall in love, others hang onto friends
Not me
Lovers never stay true, friends just get in the way
Fuck them
Everything that I've done, I did it all by myself
That's why
I don't need you hanging around
All that you do is slow me down
You say you want to know me, but I don't want to know you
Go die
Everywhere that I go, you just get in the way
Fuck off
You think we've always been friends, I don't care about
Too bad
People just make me sick, they never leave me alone
I want
No more lovers, no more brothers
I got the right to put a brick to your head
And I got the right to shoot you dead
If chaos is the law of the land
Then I'm gonna take the law in my hands
While criminals control the streets
We've got to fight to take it back
The police are not the enemy
But the law ties their hands, they're just in the way
Have no faith in your fellow man
Just keep faith with a knife in your hand
Use all your anger and all your hate
Take back the streets before it's too late
The only way to see justice done
Is to mete it out through the end of a gun
The only way to clean up this city
Is to kill them all and show no pity
Take back the streets, take back the night
Make them pay to make things right
For every crime that they commit
Take their fucking lives for it
Strike them back blow for blow
Make them suffer woe for woe
Take back the streets, take back the night
Once upon a time I was a man ruled by hate
And the way of spite and anger was all I could relate
Such a simple existence, I was looking for a fight
No more than temporary happiness for six feet of spite
Now I'm never gonna live by peace and love
Cause I'm from New York City, where there fly no doves
I'm just tired of being tolerant, I'm still looking for a
fight
I'll never change the way I am, even though I can
Shame is what I feel for being a man
Our society abuses women every subtle way it can
We can make her feel inadequate for wanting to have a job
We can justify her rape for being too scared to yell
"Stop!"
Why?
She can't have a career, she has to stay home and cook
Fashion magazines tell her how she must look
She's a second class citizen in our "equal society"
Until things change we can never all be free
They say the clothes she wears justified their rude
stares
And that seemed to make it alright
They say she asked for it, so they choose to ignore it
Because she didn't put up a good fight
They tell her she's to blame, I feel nothing but shame
And nobody seems to care
It's just another sexist crime, it happens all the time
Every moment of my life I'm locked inside this cage
Feeding fuel to the fire that encompasses my rage
Living in this world where I'm told how to behave
But I'll do just as I please, I won't be another slave
I'll fight for what I want, I can't sit back and wait
But it never seems enough, it just builds up my hate
Pure hate is all i need, pure hate is all I'll be
If I'm left without my hate there'll be nothing left of
It's a system for the people but we have no say
It's a system where the people just get pushed away
For a profit, they gentrify our land
And the police enforce their will with an iron hand
We were born into the system -- we had no choice
But we can stand as one people -- with one loud voice
They exploit our labor -- For their own greed
We've got to fight them back -- For the things we need
More people have died of AIDS than in the Vietnam War
By the time they fund research it'll be ten times more
They spend ten billion on a bomber that doesn't fly
While the homeless and the poor just starve and die
Their power comes from us -- We take it away
We can't afford to wait -- It's got to be today
The power is within us -- We can do as we please
Far better that we die on our feet
Than we live on our knees
Every generation had their chance and now it's our turn
We've seen their mistakes and I hope we've learned
We've got to make a better world at any cost
Once again I'm on my own
There must be some reason that I'm alone
I've got no one who will stand by me
And show me love and loyalty
Maybe this is my fault, I'll never know
But I'll never understand why she had to go
On and on and on and on
I never get a chance to catch my breath
On and on and on and on
I'm working myself to an early death
I work every day from 9 to 5
I make barely enough just to stay alive
I'm feeling frustrated and I don't know why
I just sit and watch the system bleed me dry
No time for college, I got bills to pay
I work my fingers to the bone for minimum wage
Straight out of school to the employment line
They say I ain't got no skills, I'm wasting their time
I just got paid, my money's already spent
My building's going co-op, so they raised my rent
I can't afford to buy the things I need
My pockets are empty and I got kids to feed
Tomorrow's gonna be like yesterday
Just deeper in debt with more bills to pay
Everything I own I'm forced to sell
For years the struggle has been raging on
Workers of the world are fighting back
We must come to terms and face the facts
The real enemy is the upper class
Arise
Wake up before it's too late
Arise
Take arms and bring down the state
Arise
Don't let it all be in vain
Arise
There's a brave new world we can gain
The rich still get richer every day
But the working man will have his say
The struggle continues and will always be
The struggle won't end until we're all free
Arise
Wake up before it's too late
Arise
Take arms and bring down the state
We must be willing to sacrifice to make things right
We must be willing to put aside our differences and unite
We must be willing to dedicate our lives to fight the fight
All my life, told what to do
Play their game, obey their rules
Go to school, make some friends
Raise a family, it never ends
Lose my dreams, swallow the pain
Shut my mouth and don't complain
Play the game until I die
And never stop to wonder why
Gotta keep my mouth shut
All my life
Never show my feelings
All my life
Never do what I want
All my life
Live my life for others
All my life
I killed Kurt, I shot him dead
I put that gun up to his head
I pulled the trigger, took his life
I made it look like suicide
I did it for the good of all mankind
I can't stand to hear a rich junkie whine
I blew his brains all over the floor
Oh well, whatever, nevermind
No more grunge rock
No more headache
No more rock star
Now he's worm food
No more Nirvana, or whiny emo songs
I sent you back to hell, back to hell where you belong
I'm glad I blew your brains out, I'm glad I took your life
I hate everyone I've seen
People just make me sick
They just get in my way
They never leave me alone
They never leave me be
They're everywhere I go
Some day I'll make them suffer
For everything they've done
Time bomb -- I'm not one of you
Time bomb -- It's what I must do
Time bomb -- One day I'll explode
I'm the one you should be thinking of
I'm the only one you're supposed to love
I tell you I love you and you don't understand
I give you everything I got and you don't understand
I carve your name in my chest and you don't understand
I'm gonna have to show you I'm your only man
I'll cut out your pretty eyes so I'm the last man that you see
Our love is so strong, you'll never get over me
I'll rip off both your legs to make sure you're here to stay
I'll do whatever it takes, true love won't fade away
I can't bear to see you with another man
If I can't have you, no one can
I'll carve your pretty face right off your head
I'll torture you past the point where you'll wish you were dead
I'll cut out your tongue, so no other man hears your voice
All my life I've waited for the time when I could build
Up enough courage to blow my goddamn brains out.
Life is nothing but pain. I don't want to live it.
I just want to die now. Tear the flesh from my bones.
Stuff me in a box and let the worms feed on me.
Life is just a cruel hoax of nature, because nothing
Lasts forever. The taste of life is torture.
Take this mortal coil. There is nothing inside.
Why do we have to die?
Why were we ever born?
Hey Rudeboy, I see you walking down the street in your
$200 suit and your spit shine Doc Martens on, on your way
downtown to see a Ska show. Rudeboy, you're so cool.
Rudeboy. Skinhead. Asshole.
You tell me you believe in the Spirit of '69, Rudeboy.
Man, you were in fucking diapers back then, who are you
kidding? And what is Ska music? That's like second-rate
beach blanket music.
Rudeboy. Skinhead. Asshole.
I see you lowlife rudeboys walking down the street, I
just wanna mash your brains in, and eat your fuckin'
eyeballs, and cut your bellies open, and fuckin' wipe my
ass on your entrails!
You don't have to look far to see filth and grime
Our daily lives are filled with perversion and crime
A dealer on the corner, some whores down the block
It's an everyday sight, it comes as no shock
No arrests are made, the politicians are corrupted
This is the world they made, it's time we disrupt it
Justice can't be brought through legal demands
The only way to do it is with the law in our hands
Purge!...Bring down the state
You rally and protest, your voices go unheard
You've got to change tactics
Actions speak louder than words
Democracy is a sham, it's all been prearranged
Bombs, not ballots, is the only way to bring a change
World history is approaching its darkest hour
We can turn back the clock, we've got the power
We are the new morality, the power is in our hands
We can sweep across the nation and purge the land
Politicians and evangelists all spread the lie
For their injustice to humanity, they'll have to die
Today's robber barons must be assassinated
Drug dens and porno houses must be incinerated
We're the new morality, our numbers are vast
We can build a new future as we burn down the past
We'll show no mercy, no hesitation
Might makes right, we're gonna purge the nation
We all will feel the same
And uninvited where we stand
Now I will dissapear
'Cause I feel lonely and
I like it
We all can drink our words
And watch the sun as it's dying
We'll cry blood flavoured wine
And then decide who's living
I'll be living my life
Like the way I want to
It's your decision
Your's
