A vigilante is a private individual (or (pl.) group of individuals) who presumes to carry out extralegal punishment in defiance of existing law.Lynching is a principal form of vigilantism and was practiced widely in the United States particularly -- though not exclusively -- as an attempt to control and intimidate non-white and non-Christian citizens. Posses comitatus represent another form of vigilantism.
Italian for watchman, guard, from 'vigilante' vigilant, from Latin vigilant-, vigilans .
"Vigilante justice" is rationalized by the idea that adequate legal mechanisms for criminal punishment are either nonexistent or insufficient. Vigilantes typically see government as ineffective in enforcing the law; and such individuals often presume to justify their actions as fulfillment of the wishes of "the community".
Persons alleged to be "escaping the law" or "above the law" are sometimes the victims of vigilantism.
Vigilante behavior involves various degrees of violence. Vigilantes may assault targets verbally or physically or may vandalize property or actually kill individuals.
Jose Acuña Bautista (born March 8, 1927), better known as Ramon Revilla, Sr., is a Filipino actor and former Senator of the Philippines.
He already had a degree in Commerce from the Far Eastern University before he got discovered (while he was pumping gas) to appear on the big screen.
Born Jose Acuña Bautista on March 8, 1927 in Imus, Cavite. he assumed the name Ramon Revilla when he entered the movies.
In his initial showbiz entry, the young Ramon Revilla was cast only in bit roles which was not enough for him so he left the movies to become head of the Secret Service Unit of the Bureau of Customs in 1965.
Showbiz saw his return in 1972 with the movie Nardong Putik.
Like the tough guy he was, he returned to showbiz on his own terms, creating his own film production, Imus Productions, for him to star in. Together with wife Azucena, they ran the film outfit with Revilla writing and directing his films.
In 1973, Revilla won a Famas Best Actor Award for "Hulihin si Tiyagong Akyat" together with his eldest son Marlon for a Famas Best Child Actor Award of the same movie. Imus Films was also recognized as Outstanding Film production in 1975. The next year, Revilla snagged the Outstanding Producer of the Year Award. In 1979, he was Most Outstanding Actor and Box Office King. At that point, there was really no stopping his popularity.
Racing in the shadows pounding of the feet
While the old men get to praying
And the children try to sleep
Just another promise they don't really care
'Cause the movement on the borders
Got the people running scared
Standing on the corner never got things done
If you leave your front door open
You'll be the foolish one
No misunderstanding no honour among thieves
It's a sorry situation
When a gun is all you need
Go call the vigilante
He'll turn this place upside down
Go call the vigilante
He don't get kicked around
Hold on there's a new way a comin'
Looks like it's arriving tonight
There's no more hiding or running
There's no more walking on ice
Racing in the shadows pounding of the feet
While the old men get to praying
And the children try to sleep
Just another promise they don't really care
'Cause the movement on the borders
Got the people running scared
Go call the vigilante
He'll turn this place upside down
Go call the vigilante
He don't get kicked around
Hold on there's a new way a comin'
Looks like it's arriving tonight
There's no more hiding or running
There's no more walking on ice
Hold on there's a new way a comin'
Looks like it's arriving tonight
There's no more hiding or running
There's no more walking on ice
Hold on there's a new way a comin'
Looks like it's arriving tonight
There's no more hiding or running
There's no more walking on ice
Vigilante vigilante man
(Bogdanovs)
Deep in the city, far from home
Down in the alley, where the white boys roam
Feel that razor kiss your face
Mindless violence, unsolved case
Start the engine, slam the door
The vigilante settles his score
Blue lines flash in summer heat
The vigilante's out on the street
Footstep echo, no street lights
Heartbeat quicker, through the dark of night
Walk in silence, walk in fear
Don't look back, danger's near
Start the engine, slam the door
The vigilante settles his score
Blue lines flash in summer heat
The vigilante's out on the street
The vigilante's out on the steet
Switchblade cutthroat, who watches wagon
Down in the gutter, where the drunkards stagger
Deep in the shadow, a silhoutte figure
Face both sides, squeeze that trigger
Start the engine, slam the door
The vigilante settles his score
Blue lines flash in summer heat
The vigilante's out on the street
Start the engine, slam the door
The vigilante settles his score
Blue lines flash in summer heat
The vigilante's out on the street
Start the engine, slam the door
The vigilante settles his score
Blue lines flash in summer heat
The vigilante's out on the street

So Complex
In His Behavior
Crowded Into A
Hole
Racial Incoherence
Nowhere Left to Go
Misery: Is Unforgiving
He Struggles From Within
He Roams The Human Wasteland
His Memories Grow Dim
Chorus:
Shots
Ring Out Loud
Dispursing The Crowd
Bodies Start to Fall
Blood on the Wall
No Time to Tell
Who's Going to
Heaven or Hell
The Acid Air
Blurs His Vision
City Crime
Takes It's Toll
A Metaphor
For This Incision
A Truer Life
Will Now Unfold
No More Pain
And Self Suffering
It All Ends
Where It Begins
A Universe On This Wavelength
Will Transmutate
In Other Things
Chorus
The Moment Comes
To Eradicate
A Time to Cleanse
The World
This Is Self Illusion
This Has No Conclusion
A .38 Hangs from His Hand
His Shoulders Slung Kind of Low
Smoking Shells Lay on The Floor
As The Blood Starts to Flow
The Sirens Scream Outside The Door
Police Running to The Scene
Inside A Man Stands All Alone
His Face Grinning Obscene
Well he walks all night and he sleeps all day
never done nothin' the easy way
since kitty went down on a still hot night
a crowd was screamin a kitchen knife
and tonight he's out there somewhere
he's the lonely man with the cold cold stare
he's got no kitty and he don't care what's right
alright
he's a vigilante
he says law and order is on the way (vigilante)
and tonight, tonight
he'll be waitin' for you under the street light,
alright, alright (vigilante)
well he's home in time for the morning news
sun comes up, he's kickin off his shoes
turns to the picture taped to the wall says
kitty don't worry, gonna find em all.
and tonight he's out there somewhere
he's the lonely man with the cold cold stare
he's got no kitty and he don't care what's right
alright
he's a vigilante
he says law and order is on the way (vigilante)
and tonight, tonight
he'll be waitin' for you under the street light,
alright, alright (vigilante)
well he hates this city he's afraid to go out
don't see nothin be done about
the rage on the streets, the punks at the top
nikki on the corner, who owns all the cops.
and tonight he's out there somewhere
he's the lonely man with the ice cold stare
he's got no kitty and he don't care what's right
alright
a vigilante
he says law and order is on the way (vigilante)
and tonight, tonight
he'll be waitin' for you under the street light,
alright, alright (vigilante)
all night
all night
a vigilante
he says law and order is on the way (vigilante)
and tonight, tonight
he'll be waitin' for me under the street light,
Can you feel it? So cold...
From what I've heard it's served better that way
I like to think of myself as divine, a kind of reaper
A modern day hero of sorts, sent from above to deliver the word
Unto you I bestow, the greatest gift that'll your soul
From the light you have strayed, well back you go, let me show you the way
Swift justice is served
And so well deserved
All your sins, I'll erase, and there will be no more pain
From inside you've sensed my coming
That awful feeling over your shoulder
I've got a personal message from the deceased, non-believer
A handful of promises to fulfill and the mentality to kill at will
I'll make it as quick as I can, that's how dedicated I am
WIlling to take the extra step on behalf of the mourning, widowed and bereft
Swift justice is served
And so well deserved
All your sins, I'll erase, and there will be no more pain
From inside you've sensed my coming
That awful feeling over your shoulder
Through my eyes the view is sickening
Come face to face with a vigilante
You won't know me
But you will see
The light
And I will lead you away
Swift justice is served
And so well deserved
All your sins, I'll erase, and there will be no more pain
From inside you've sensed my coming
That awful feeling over your shoulder
Through my eyes the view is sickening
Come face to face with a vigilante
There's unrest in the city
There's violence in the air
A country fit for heroes
Is now one full of despair
Shootings, rapes and muggings
I see a drugs war looming ahead
No law and order, just total disorder
Old people filled with dread
Showdown must be coming
Ain't gonna take this shit no more
Joe public's got to arm himself
To settle the bloody score
Retaliation, extermination
The law is in your hands
Can't take no more, it's gone to far
Time we made a stand
Vigilante
Uproar in the papers
Outlaw in the news
Another lawless faction
Attacking whoever they choose
The Government wallows in apathy
While there's violence in the street
The innocent are sent running
While the police stare straight at defeat
Vigilante
Clockwork Orange fiction
Is now stark reality
Old ladies at their husbands graves
Get mugged for 20p
What kind of world are we living in
When kids beat a boy of two
Get out on the streets, fight the scum
The future's up to you
You might not remember me.
I suppose I'd only be
Another notch in your belt.
I think it's safe to say
I'm thinking in new ways
And feeling things I've never felt.
I hope you're proud.
I've been told that time can heal,
But that seems a sour deal.
It would tend to put you on the winning side.
And sure, you can call me crass,
But I'd rather kick your ass
If it would serve to help me turn the tide.
I'd kick your ass to turn the tide.
You shouldn't have messed with me.
You shouldn't have messed with me.
Now I'm a trigger-happy, would-be vigilante
Intent on settling a score.
You'll know I'm there,
You just won't know where.
You're ruin therein lies.
And it may not be today,
But rest assured, I'll find a way
If it takes a thousand tries.
You won't know what hit you
I don't think you know exactly who I am.
Exactly who I am.
I am prepared to carry out, without hesitation,
A cold and calculated act of intense dedication.
I am the store-clerk, forced once too often to his knees.
I am the few disgruntled Postal Service employees.
I am the widowed wife, left alone to carry on.
The grieving father, I, whose one and only child is gone.
I am the hand of Justice, with finger poised to test,
I am a bigger, badder, better bane than Bernard Goetz.
You shouldn't have messed with me
Now I'm a trigger-happy, would be vigilante
You shouldn't have messed with me.
And if I had the chance to do it all again
I wouldn't change a thing.
Verse 1 (D-Skat)
Matanda ka na... pero nag papabata
Pera mo winawaldas mo lang to sa toma
Daig mo pa... ang salitang illegal
Ang pagka vigilante moy hindi matangal
Akala mo anak mayaman kung pa porma-porma
Abay ang nagpa konyo kulang naman sa pera
Pag dating sa bahay ikay laging lasing
At tambay na agad ang isip kung ikay gumising
Your not a baller kung drug dealer ka
Your uncool kung peray bobo ka magdala
Dont tell me your a hustler in counts in the streets
Kneel your ass down and kiss both of my feet
Wag kang mahangin baka sarili'y malipad
Makinig at sa kanta ko ay magbabad
Hindi ka hari wala kang tronoo
Pero feeling ka na gumawa na kampo..
"Chorus"
Mag-bago ka na..(Putang ina)
Mag-bago ka na..(sawa ka na ba?)
Mag-bago ka na..(Putang ina)
Mag-bago ka na..(ah di pa ba talaga)
Mag-bago ka na..(Putang ina)
Mag-bago ka na..(sawa ka na ba?)
Mag-bago ka na..(Putang ina)
Mag-bago ka na..(ah di pa ba talaga)
Verse 2 (D-Skat)
Akoy natatae..natatae sayoo
Ang asal mo.. amoy tae ko..
Nge 50 bucks pare wala ka sa bulsa
Pag nagigipit tumatakbo sa nanay mo pa
Ipakita ba ang kotse e wala namang gas
Tapos tangina! ang lakas mo pang mamintas
Kasama mo ang mga grupie ng mga batang maharot
Pakunyaring tigasin ka at di daw takot
Pero hintayin ko na porma moy mawala
Hihintayin ko na utang mo ay bumaha
Hihintayin ko na na ikaw ay mag wala
Hihintayin ko na bumigat ang yong mga mata
At sa pag mulat moy huli na ang lahat
Huli ka na sa oras para ikay bumanat
Dont take to the heart im just makin a rap
Umiyak ka na lang pag di moto matangap
"Chorus"
Mag-bago ka na..(Putang ina)
Mag-bago ka na..(sawa ka na ba?)
Mag-bago ka na..(Putang ina)
Mag-bago ka na..(ah di pa ba talaga)
Mag-bago ka na..(Putang ina)

i see the spiders
they're crawling on my corpse
and i begin to feel
that i been here before
speaking for the last time
breaking my misery
now i can see the dark side
now i recall my faith.
i scream before
that my soul begins to disintegrate
i speak before
and my eyes stare on another place
i scream before
that my heart begins to disintegrate
i'm holding the door
i scream to the human race
can you see the world you help to build
a world of hate and madness
take a look inside, you have no dreams
your empty soul, can find it
see the youth beneath your feet, and think
if there some hope inside them?
can you see the world you help to build
a world of hate and madness
i scream before
that my soul begins to disintegrate
i speak before
and my eyes stare on another place
i scream before
that my heart begins to disintegrate
i'm holding the door
You feel much more pain
That you can swallow
Always defeated
Always falling down
Your torture is over
Don't waste your time
Let this war begin now
Be part of our side
You are weak, but not broken
Give me hope, give me something
We're still alive
Leave your tears behind
We will fight, pain is nothing
Just our faith makes us stronger
Leave your tears behind
Keep your dreams alive
All your life feeling so hollow
Cutting your flesh to try find something inside
Life is on the border
Ready to jump
Look over your shoulder
We won't let you fall
You are weak, but no broken
Give me hope, give me something
We're still alive
Leave your tears behind
We will fight, pain is nothing
Just our faith makes us stronger
Leave your tears behind
Keep your dreams alive
"Sometimes life is a battlefield
Where giving up is a mortal sin
We can't give up, we can't submit
Because if we quit... they'll win"
[--Donkey Kong (Vigilante)--]
So baby, I'm feelin'
kinda hot tonight.
And maybe I'm thinkin'
that the time is sho' is right.
Somebody told me
that you like it rough.
800 lbs of gorilla;
800 lbs of the right stuff, girl.
So come and peel my banana,
and eat it nice and slow.
I'll take a lick o' your candy.
I'll make you mine for sho'.
And, baby, you and I,
oh, we... will make monkey love.
[--Funky Kong (Liontamer--]
This here is Funky Kong...
funky like a monkey.
Donkey gets the ladies
even though he's kinda chunky.
He lays it down
when Diddy's not around.
Then he hops on Funky's Flights
and hightails outta town.
Haha!
Let me hit ya up with some o' that monkey love.
Heheh. C'mere girl.
Yeah, boy. Lay it down, Donkey!
[--Donkey Kong (Vigilante)--]
Yo, late at night, girl,
we'll break into the zoo.
And there in front of the monkeys,
I'll make love to you.
Watch out for flying poo.
I said monkey love
Make monkey love
You know I need your love
You feel much more pain
That you can swallow
Always defeated
Always falling down
Your torture is over
Don't waste your time
Let this war begin now
Be part of our side
You are weak, but not broken
Give me hope, give me something
We're still alive
Leave your tears behind
We will fight, pain is nothing
Just our faith makes us stronger
Leave your tears behind
Keep your dreams alive
All your life feeling so hollow
Cutting your flesh to try find something inside
Life is on the border
Ready to jump
Look over your shoulder
We won't let you fall
You are weak, but no broken
Give me hope, give me something
We're still alive
Leave your tears behind
We will fight, pain is nothing
Just our faith makes us stronger
Leave your tears behind
Keep your dreams alive
"Sometimes life is a battlefield
Where giving up is a mortal sin
We can't give up, we can't submit
how can i kill these deafening voices?
how can i kill these deafening sounds?
that brutal scenario
will never leave my mind
i live in constant torture
breathing, but dead inside
this war will last forever
until the guilty can be found!
why! you did this to me!
why! i can't do anything!
why! you did this to me!
why! i can't do anything!
walking between the borders
grabbing my twisted mind
how to find a way to kill this
and put it underground
waiting around the corner
i'm one step behind
i'll be awake forever
We're born with natural instincts
That we replaced with thoughts
We created a new science
That put us closer to god
We kill innocents by thousands
And clean our conscience with faith
We are like kids in a garden
Making all the same mistakes
Years of progress
Years of madness
Humanity
All humanity
Years of concepts
Years of sadness
Humanity
All humanity
Made of people
Made of conflict
Humanity
This humanity
Made of heroes
Made of monsters
Humanity
This humanity
All humanity
Are us!
We build new hearts made of plastic
But we can't build a new soul
We think our life is fantastic
We drew smiles with drugs
We don't care about pollution
Next generation will pay
We think our life is forever
And close our eyes to the end
(CHORUS)
WHY?
DESTROY US
WE DON'T HAVE ANOTHER CHANCE
WE MUST KEEP ALIVE
THIS WORLD!
Years of murder
Years of violence
Humanity
This humanity
Years of borders
Years of numbers
Humanity
This humanity
Made of people
Made of conflict
Humanity
This humanity
Made of heroes
Made of monsters
Humanity
This humanity
All humanity
I've been so long in midnight
Praying for the light of dawn
And hope's been my companion
In the dark to keep me strong
But there's something awesome
Shining out through the ebony
And now my soul can finally see
There is glory in the night
So beautiful and bright
A glimpse of You
Coming from the other side
You are reaching through the stars
And You're speaking to my heart
I know it's You
Calling from the other side
How could I not have realized
You've been here all along
So constant and so faithful
Through the darkness and beyond
It's unthinkable, undreamable
There's peace when I look up
'Cause I see the evidence of love
The other side... tonight
I am dancing through the night
Knowing things will be all right
Because of You
I'll make it to the other side
You are reaching through the stars
And You're speaking to my heart
I know it's You
Calling from the other side
some people, now raising
they are melting like one voice
we must continue fighting
in hope we trust
there is no option, just give it
give all that you can give
we must continue fighting
your dream is not a sin!
we must find
find a reason
digging the grave
inside our souls
we must find
just one good reason
a fire in the cold
look in my eyes
look at my vision
of a better world
there's still a hope
open your eyes
accept the mission
your soul is not alone
destroy the puppet masters
equality for all
the lies of the fat bastards
begins to fall
we are the unforgiven
sons of a broken dream
a hero has no powers
they say that our revolution...
... now is gone
They say that the children don't have...
... a tomorrow
spit it out again
scream it to the others
a youth who's not afraid
makes a little act of faith...
they say that your revolution...
... now is gone
They say that the children don't have...
... a tomorrow
spit it out again
scream it to the others
a youth who's not afraid
makes a little act of faith...
