The Gleaner 2013-07-07Androsia is a type of textiles produced by the Androsia Batik Factory on Andros Island, Bahamas. It is hand made and has been manufactured on Andros since 1973 by Bahamians. This type of fabric is considered one of Andros' national treasures and won the Silver Jubilee award in 1998.
Stencils are created from locally harvested sponges and fashioned into the whimsical shapes Androsia is famous for. Typically these are shapes organic in nature, for example conch shells, hibiscus flowers, and native coral heads. The stencils are dipped in heated wax and then hand pressed onto the fabric. The fabric is next soaked in dye long enough for the fabric to absorb the color. Typically Androsia is brightly colored, with hot pink and purple being two very common colors. During the dying process the wax prevents the dye from adhering to the fabric. These patches of white retain the shape of the stencils. Finally the cloth is boiled to remove the wax.
Androsia is then cut into various items of batik clothing such as dresses, shirts for men and women, skirts, pareos, tank tops, t-shirts, shorts, and accessories. Androsia is also used in some furniture and in other household goods, or is sold by the yard for dressmaking, quilting, and craft projects.
They planned every detail, nothing could go wrong, Control the youth to keep the country strong
An assigned occupation and a place to stay, One brushstroke paints the whole world grey
With no individual, no room for dissent, The police came and off to jail he went
No grudges though he had no hate, For the ones who made a god their state
[Chorus]
{you can take what you want from me But you'll never rob me of my dignity, Dignity}
Dignity is a matter of self-respect, gotta be what you are not what others expect
His spirit was strong, he had no shame, for the political slime that was to blame
They beat him no matter what he said, Couldn't destroy what was in his head
He was the object of hate and anger, What didn't destroy him made him stronger
[Chorus]
Summertime for the kids on the street, they're laughing, learning and running from the police
They won't accept mediocrity, They won't let others control their destiny
Wherever it is you go from here, Your fault if you are controlled by fear
Sitting on the porch of life, They feel no problems or encounter any strife
They're the people who all look the same, Stagnant lives that never change
They're the members of the upper class, Gonna die living in the past
[Chorus]
{Cause you're another person without a name, a bumbling bureaucrat without a brain
you're so happy to live in a dream, You're a porch monkey}
So they freed the slaves in 1865, When money was green and the dream was alive
From the mortgage banker to the divorce court, They're propping up people and pulling out the cork
They're members of the middle class, Gonna die sitting on their ass
[Chorus]
You're so smart and you're so pretty, And we fucking know you run our city
Spending your wages to look sheik, You live off glory at the end of the week
Like a chicken running without its head, Our country's debt is to its dead
Under a sky so cold and gray, The youth of our country died before their day
Not more than kids they stood for the flag, The government sent them home in bags
Those young Americans will never see their homes, Now they sleep under gardens of stone
[Chorus]
{They died fighting a country that wasn't a threat Now this is our national debt}
Commies in the east, money in the west put another bullet in a soldier's chest
Who pays for the lines in his father's face, Not the politicians who breached their faith
The men who fight for our nation, Shouldn't be sent to war by a corporation
Democracy means one man one vote, Money has turned our government into a joke
[Chorus]
So when its time to start another pointless war, The first ones drafted are the poor
With no money to buy a political voice, They're sent to die without a choice
I'm an American, proud and free
I'm an American I believe in equality
Don't tell me what to do or what to be, I'm an American, Don't tread on me
[Chorus]
Here's the story of three punks with a burning desire, To be gangsters to be guns for hire
Moreland Ave. on a hot summer night, Pete wanted to kill someone and do it tonight
He's the boy that did the ultimate sin, Got the blood of christ dripping from his skin
With his silver spoon and his beady eyes, He decided who should live and who should die
Murderer, Pete is a Murderer
Dressed in suits, dressed for the kill, Walking to the bridge at the bottom of the hill
Looked for a passed out bum and they found one, Pete slit his throat just for fun
The bum went running through the bushes and weeds, They held his arms and made him bleed
Headlights flashing and the world spun around, The man was screaming when he hit the ground
Murderer, Paul is a Murderer
I wept and wondered what should I say, About the children who threw a man's life away
Were you men or were you gods, Or suburban brats whose lives were a fraud
Scum like you don't deserve to live free, I think you'd look good hanging from a tree
No remorse when you dealt all of the spades, I hope you get raped in jail and die of aids
Murderer, Francois is a Murder
He's the old hippie that made us sick, He wrote muzak for drug addicts
He's the fat geezer who talked too much, He used drugs as a crutch
He ate granola and he hugged trees, Looked like a dog bit by fleas
Had a beer belly and a tye-dyed shirt, Said he'd live forever but now he sleeps in dirt
[Chorus]
{Jerry was a piece of shit, shit, shit, shit, shit
I'm Grateful that he's dead, dead, dead, dead, dead}
Like Jim Bakker he went far, Turned stadiums into singles bars
Did all of the drugs in San Francisco, Wrote 20 albums of long-haired disco
Then he sang I will survive, look who is no longer alive
So all you fuckers in your VW vans, Preppy dink hackysack clan
Wallstreet twats with ponytail hair, Your BMW's with dancing bears
He was an icon, he was a god, He racked in your cash in wads
For all the wealth and all the waste, Of our rich Americans and their good taste
Who elected Reagan and they were so pleased, When he mortgaged our country to the Japanese
Our taxes are money that was so long ago spent, the deficit has put our government up for rent
There's millions out of work and that's nothing new, No one will take notice, not people like you
[Chorus]
{Heroes & zeros which one are you gonna be
America is sinking, and you're asleep in front of your TV}
It's not a matter of diction, being politically correct is a contradiction
Truman, JFK, Great leaders of old, Bush and Clinton, crucified on a cross of gold
The American people are so tied down and bloated, Complain and complain and they never even voted
When the ship is sinking, The rats wonder why, We got the best leaders money can buy
[Chorus]
And that's the meaning of the new world order
Once there were acres of factories, now its rusted metal and dirt
Once there worked proud families, now they nurture only hurt
You could climb the ladder make your dreams come true
When the bottom rungs are gone there's no future left for you
No ones got a plan and no one gives a damn, For the working man, The American
Joined a school about last May, Thought I'd go, be on my way
But I wasn't taught in anybody's class, Found that there's no place for me in the'85 society
I belong on the streets living with my friends
[Chorus]
{Smash a window, Break a rule, Smash a window, not gonna be nobody's fool
Smash a window, break a face, Smash a window, not gonna lock me up in that place}
Surprise, my face don't fit, I live in a sea of shit, But I should be happy, lest it decompose
Always keep priority one, to stay clean and have some fun,
Like most kids from my generation, she was born and raised in out broken home nation
Autumns brilliant hue of orange and gold, her embrace cut us from the same fold
From the granite face of a red Georgia mountain, To the sun grazed grace of a springtime fountain
Came the warm radiance of her lover's smile, Gave me the emotion of a man and the love of a child
I saw the moonlight caress the cleft of her chin, I felt her eyelashes brush against my skin
[Chorus]
{Stood by me and I stood by her, Jennifer, Jennifer
Actions speak louder than words, Jennifer, Jennifer}
In a jaded age of indulgence and sin, Lives stand still and the earth still spins
Possession burns from the same token, My love stands rooted in nature's emotion
When jet airplane destroys the pristine night sky, The eagle turns his head and spits out a sigh
He longs for her and will accept no other way, He would wait forever and then a day
Poor mans got a hard life to live, Rich man's got nothing to give
Feel your life going down the drain, Nothing but failure and pain
You say you were born to lose, But i say you got the right to choose
It's all in the way you play the cards
[Chorus]
{It's in the cards, It's in the cards Know when to fold, Know when to bluff, Just play it smart
Don't tell me that you don't care, You don't work, you'll go nowhere It's all in the way you play the cards}
Some people get the ace of spades, Some people piss their lives away
Greed makes some unable to wait, They miss the boat but that's their fate
You think someone stacked the deck, I think your life is just a wreck
I'm Hungry, I'm hungry, my limbs feel weak, My voice is distorted when i speak
I'm hungry, I'm hungry, my life has reached its peak, It's so dull I feel the havoc I wreak
[Chorus]
{I eat I eat and drink and drink, And you all know I never think
I'm Hungry I'm hungry I'm hungry hungry hungry hungry}
I'm hungry I'm hungry I never give, My life is like a plastic sieve
I'm hungry, I'm hungry, I live to consume, In my house on the human moon
[Chorus]
I'm hungry, I'm hungry, I hate myself, In my package on the kitchen shelf
10 years after, his guts still churned, He packed his bag and he returned
To people like horses they were well bred, Beauty in the flesh but empty in the head
They talked of money and trains so fast, Manicured smiles for the lower class
From a city on a hill where greed is sacred, They sneered at the world their parents created
[Chorus]
{All their cocaine and credit cards, Didn't get them very far
All of their money and fancy cars, didn't drive them far from Manzanar}
Black and white like a photograph, All that was good was in the past
The ground was amber waves of green, The future looked so serene
The people were cold, their edges sharp, Plastic mouths open out came the bark
You're the under class, not like the rest, all your life you'll be second best
[Chorus]
A jury of peers or was it fate? That turned all his love into hate
A snarling dog spitting out broken teeth, He fought every inch but the grade was steep
Backed in a corner, they beat him down, a wreath of thorns for his boyhood crown
Out on the streets on a Saturday night, No problems on my mind
But around the corner with some steel in his hand, Is an end that's most unkind
Poor Robert Bell with a bullet in his gut, Did they ask his permission first?
The bullet goes in and blood flows out, and life is at its worst
[Chorus]
{Take the guns off the streets for us, and for the ones who have eaten lead
Take them all and melt them down, Before the streets are dead}
The roads are dark and the streets are narrow, and everyone's driving fast
No matter who or what you are, Any word could be your last
Your heart is warm and your blood is cold, and your head is screwed on tight
On top of the world with a gun in his hand, rules the world with his master plan
Late at night and all through the city, Santa brings toy guns to your kiddies
Spent your credit in a department store, Santa stockpiles for a total war
[Chorus]
{Ho ho ho, Seig Heil to Santa, Ho ho ho, north pole front
Ho ho ho, Seig heil to Santa, The fight has just begun}
Santa's got the face you'll learn to fear, Shaved his head but he kept his beard
Fighting the battle for your hearts and minds, Himmler's skills rank far behind
When the sleigh comes Santa won't be late, Cause everyday is Christmas in the police state
[Chorus]
Well Jack jumped over the candle stick, And all the toy soldiers do their tricks
Santa's wife can't light his wick, He gets an elf to suck his dick
In every city in every backstreet, There's a brand of people who dance to the beat
Swilling beer at hockey games, The fans of Oi! Oi! music and that's the name
The evening has only just begun, as they crack open the 12th one
[Chorus]
{CARTE BLANCH FOR CHAOS, CARTE BLANCHE FOR FUN
WHEN THEY'RE COMING YOU BETTER RUN}
Down at Gelato's on a Saturday night, drinking PBR and watching Eugene fight
Spied a man in a Port-a-Potty, Len and Gary decided to be naughty
Flipped it over on its back, the man jumped out covered in crap
Pam decided to throw a birthday party, Said bring your friends around 8:30
20 of them and one punched Jen, used a stereo to bash his head in
You never remember where you're from, You got no idea what you done
You came to me with your problems in your hands, and I promised to give you everything I am
You're a living reaction with a brain, Got no feelings cause they cause you pain
Pain spelled out is the title of guilt, It burns out the rotten core of the life you built
[Chorus]
{You bastard, you bastard, you don't do nothing that's not for you
You bastard, you bastard, You're a catch 22}
You been wondering whether I'm alive or dead, and I've been living with your hole in my head
It's the rhythm of the way we live, Born to destroy all we give
You're a living reaction with a brain, Got no feelings cause they cause you pain
Pain spelled out is the title of guilt, It burns out the rotten core of the life you built
On the road with me and my friends, came to our first town
Chucked us out cause we were skinheads, that just let me down
Extra, extra, get your monthly massacre, someone's been killed today
Feel alone then shout it the loudest cause someone might hear you say
[Chorus]
{Choose, choose, got nothing to lose, your hopes and feelings gone
Choose, choose, got nothing to lose, Together right and strong}
Second town found my kind of place and it seemed like we might stay
Security I let my secret drop and they told us to go away
Extra, extra, get your monthly massacre, someone's been killed today
If I ever get arrested again, I've just got to make it big my friend
Cause talk is cheap and violence is funny, we got drunk and fucked up their party
Go to a party at a ritzy high rise, knock on the door, what a surprise!
Smashing tables, breaking chairs, Tim threw a cat down the stairs
When they throw me in the back of the car, I know what it'll be for
Criminal mischief, they called the law
Criminal mischief, kick a hole in the wall
Criminal mischief, I don't give a shit
About all you stupid pricks
Go to a party in a ritzy high rise, knock on the door, what a surprise!
Smashing tables, breaking chairs, Tim threw a cat down the stairs
Hate art fags and the new wave, Face put a basketball in the microwave
When they throw me in the back of the car, I know what it'll be for
Criminal mischief, they called the law
Criminal mischief, kick a hole in the wall
Criminal mischief, I don't give a shit
About all you stupid pricks
Criminal mischief, they called the law
Criminal mischief, kick a hole in the wall
Criminal mischief, I don't give a shit
About all you stupid pricks
Running loose in the food store, open up..... running out the door
Here comes a cop with a gun in his hand, I just pissed in the fresh fruit stand
Talk is cheap and violence is funny, we got drunk and fucked up their party
When they throw me in the back of the car, I know what it'll be for
They think that I got no sense, I'm having fun at their expense
Criminal mischief, they called the law
Criminal mischief, kick a hole in the wall
Criminal mischief, I don't give a shit
you stupid pricks
Criminal mischief, they called the law
Criminal mischief, kick a hole in the wall
Criminal mischief, I don't give a shit
On the road to ruin, rotting in the cell, Nothing all around you, but an antiseptic smell
Searching for something better, hoping for the best, Waiting for the answer, looking for the test
[Chorus]
{Escape to the city, Runaway, Escape to the city, It's the only way}
Daytime in the city and the traffic's moving fast, Made it in by selling out, can you make it last?
Night time in the jungle the streets become deranged, looking up and holding out until the seasons change
[Chorus]
City streets are hard and rough and city streets are mean
Where did you learn about the world? From the tv screen?
Fuck Hollywood, fuck 'em today, Fuck the million dollar movies with nothing to say
Fuck the Sixties, fuck Oliver Stone, Fuck Rambo and Sylvester Stallone
Fuck Jane Fonda and Shirley MacLaine, Wishd they were fucking John Wayne
Fuck Capt. Stubing and fuck tattoo, And if you don't like this song then....Fuck You!
[Chorus]
{Fuck, Fuck Hollywood [3x]}
Fuck Sonny Bono and buttfuck Cher, Someone hit Geraldo with another chair
Fuck Michael Jackson and child molesters, fuck Rock Hudson and Schwartzenegger
Fuck the actors at the presidential ball, Fuck Oprah and Arsenio Hall
Fuck the Beach Boys those stupid pricks, Singing about women when they're sucking dick
[Chorus]
Fuck Hollywood, warped sense of reality, Where the truth is always the first casualty
Fuck the causes and the coalitions, The exercise they get is jumping to conclusions
Fuck the sex and fuck the smut, fuck the guys who take it up the butt
You're fat and ugly and you don't care, You got a beer back and greasy hair
You always talk and you never shut up, And worst of all you always beat me up
[Chorus]
{You're Ignorant, You're Ignorant, You're a piece of shit
You're Ignorant, You're Ignorant, You middle class twit
You're Ignorant, You're Ignorant, We treat you like a joke
You're Ignorant, You're Ignorant, And worst of all you're broke}
You never had the girl that you always brag, You fuck little boys you stupid fag
You once had a friend but you stabbed him in the back, And worst of all, you smoke crack
[Chorus]
You got taffy duck tattooed on your ass, You see the world through the bottom of a beer glass
From dawn to dusk I pound the earth, Looking for meaning to give live its worth
But what I love just tastes like shit, And I wonder how stupid can you get
The more I see the less I get, My life smoulders out like a cigarette
The more I need, the less I want, I want to live but I know I won't
Roses are red and violets are blue, Money is green and I hate you
Humans are humans but their blood is so red, I'm gonna put a bullet through my head
[Chorus]
{Hate edge, hate edge, I hate you, Hate edge, hate edge I hate you too. Hate Edge}
No one understands anything till its dead, Under the human lampshade they'll never shed
You'll never know what its like not to be shunned, I think you're all fucking scum
Watching dead bodies on the news, saw my friends burned up like jews
Spilt my soul for what it would bring, But now I hate everything
Ashes are ashes and dust is dust, Fuck each other with your power lust
Humans are humans but their blood is so red, I'm gonna put a bullet through my head
This ones for the kids who are still in school, And you wanna be tough so you break the rules
Life is boring, your family's a mess, Get out of the house you think its best
Get new boots and you crop your hair, Pretty soon, you'll be nowhere
Feels alright when you live for now, And a buck buys a stiff drink anyhow
Feel like a pebble on the beach, When you see things outside your reach
People come and people go, Too many times you're left alone
Job to job and drink to drink, There ain't enough time left to think
Smoke to smoke, lay to lay, One hangover for everyday
[Chorus]
{Alcoholics Anonymous [3x] Alcoholics are anonymous}
You're older now and you look real mean, And your face is creased and not too clean
Wanna be young make it last forever, But clockwork thrills won't make it better
The ocean you swim has gotten too deep, Your blood is cold, you can't get no sleep
Monday morning can't open my eyes cause everyone's looking for me
My life's no longer a seven day weekend cause I'm still asleep on my feet
Wanna stay on top of your life you got to try as hard as you can
But all you got is another struggle and no one's gonna lend you a hand
[Chorus]
{You can't kill the blues with a gun, you gotta find the strength to stand
You just gotta keep your eyes straight ahead, walk on like a man}
Chaos all around no one can stop us cause tonight we're back on the piss
If it ends up in jail or it ends up in blood, that's the way life is
I'm not the one who cleans up after, somehow its always done
Spend your life worrying about, you're not gonna have any fun
[Chorus]
No ones gonna tell you when you're doing right they tell you when you're doing wrong
As long as they keep themselves shut up, we'll keep carrying on
The aching burning self is on my back again
Spend the daytime in the sun, spend night time at the club Some fun! Some fun!
We always have a laugh We're never holding back, some fun! some fun!
Cars lights flashing by running all around, I'm not gonna tell anybody, 'bout what i found
Someone gets in my way, There will be a fight but tonight I got my girl, and you know that's right
Another Nazi's coming around, lets run him out of town Some fun! Some Fun!
My girl with another guy, i gave him a black eye Some fun! Some fun!
Roadtrip with 20 guys, to another show, we got there and it was cancelled, wouldn't you know
All the people all of the beer, always worthwhile, When you're having a good time, you're always in
Sailing drunken through the town, run that old lady down, Some fun! Some fun!
Just when thought we'd won, she pulls out her gun, Some fun! Some fun!
Throwing bottles at cars, smash in their windows, Will I remember this tomorrow? Who fucking knows
We're the Anti-Heros now we're here, steal your women, drink your beer
Join with us you got nothing to fear....That's Right!
They all run when we come in, and we got in a fight again,
We don't care if we don't win...That's Right!
All down at the club tonight, to meet some people, that's all right,
All the boys are quite a sight...That's right!
[Chorus]
{Anti Heros Oi! Oi! Oi! [3x]}
After a while you stop and think, Your mind is cloudy from the drink
Skinheads there when things get rough, and when he's needed he's always tough
Won't ever run, won't ever hide he ain't scared that they'll lock him inside
Seems to stand above them all, he'll be there when the lowlifes fall
You know what I say is true, you know in your heart when I speak about you
Know in your heart when I speak about you
[Chorus]
{What's a skin, he's hard, What's a skin, he's tough, What's a skin, he's honorable}
Do you think we won't live long? Do you think that we're not strong?
Fire burns in all of our hearts, Be on top cause we got the smarts
Skinhead knows when he is right, And he knows he don't have to fight
He's the one who stands out in the crowd, He's the one who stands up straight and proud
He's the one that feels out of place, In society he's got a strange face
[Chorus]
{There was no one he could trust so a loner he became
His friends all came and went and a loner he'll remain}
Doesn't matter what he wears, He don't feel right anywhere
Hasn't had friends in his growing years, No one to talk about his hopes and fears
[Chorus]
No one to talk to, he doesn't mind, young loner knows he's one of a kind
Born and raised from immigrant blood, Made a hardworking man out of me
The Code I live by is the Honor and honesty
What I learned was passed down, from the ghosts of my family
Lessons learned long before, They came from across the sea
[Chorus]
{Friendship in struggle, courage in battle, wisdom in rage
Ardor in labor, Piety in love, Knowledge is sage [x2]}
Sacrifice don't always have a reward, Courage is something you can't afford
Pittsburgh steel in my fathers eye, Gave me the will to win and the guts to try
He showed no weakness not even a trace, 'til he broke his fist on my face
He went from US Steel to MIT, I cherish what my parents taught to me:
[Chorus]
When I'm older I'll raise a family, I'll give them the substance that tempered me
They taught me the meaning of being the best I can, They raised me to be a true American
Not gonna say what I'm thinking about to you, and if you stay like that then we are through
Cause life is not a trial run I know I've just begun to find each answer from each day anew
We cannot forget what we have learned We won't compromise what we have earned
Well most people I know are bores, and giving up won't end our wars
We'll never join the ones whose backs have turned
[Chorus]
{You got 2 sides to every story 2 sides to every lie
You come looking for me that where ill be on the other side}
You'll never get the true story from the press, On the streets is where we're at our best
It's hard to read the changing times, but judging from obvious signs help you learn a bit more than the rest
Try to read the answer in my eyes, Might find yourself thinking about your lies
Cause I don't wear a plastic mask, I might tell you if you ask
Right around the corner, up the street from Harry May
There's a little house of horror where all the herberts stay
Polish on their sneakers, dax slime in their hair,
Always acting crazy, but fuck it they don't care
[Chorus]
{H-e-r-b-e-r-t, Moon moon moon Moonstomp}
Everyday at Zestos they're working at their jobs,
Another 120 they hate their dead end yobs
Don't sleep on the weekends the gleam stays in their eyes,
Don't you call it magic their brains are full of ice
[Chorus]
Always down at the clubs, on good terms with the skins,
Acting like an angel won't pay for their sins
After ever to do, when all of the wreckage clears,
We'll never be another country's slaves and we're sure to live free for the rest of our days
Thanks, thanks to the bomb
No one would dare do something rash cause we'd send them off with a mighty crash
Thanks, thanks to the bomb
[Chorus]
{The bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb etc. etc., Thank you, thank you for the bomb}
It's great living in the biggest country that's got the whole world on its knees
Thanks, thanks to the bomb
In silos under the Midwest plains, there lies the strength that ensures America's gains
Thanks, thanks to the bomb
[Chorus]
No one will know the sacred day, when we all go out in that special way
Thanks, thanks to the bomb
So lets move to the city that's gonna get hit, cause I don't want my guts coming out in my shit
Up in the morning splash water on my face, I'm not a winner I'm a disgrace
The mirror shows no image of perfection, I see myself and it's a negative reflection
I'm not another kid filled with empty dreams, Who's got it all and don't know what it means
I'm the reason and that makes me a threat, I remember what you forget
[Chorus]
{I won't spend my life on the edge of reality, I'm not gonna die in a rock & roll fantasy}
Straight off the streets on to your stereo, Is how true rock is supposed to flow
We got the me generation's decades of decadence, Heavy metal rocking to comic book cadence
Disco, high fashion, venereal disease, Abba, U2, and Shawn Cassidy
The cash registers are open, they're never shut, They're selling Madonna, the 20th century slut
[Chorus]
Pretty boy music on your MTV, Bullshit rap music running off with your money
Today's youth follow the prophets of wealth, They'd rather worship an idol than think for themselves
You got to be labeled and have a gimmick to make it, When you're worthless you have to fake it
Baby was a black sheep Baby was a whore
Baby got big and he's gonna get bigger
Baby's got a gun, got his finger on the trigger
Baby, Baby, Baby I'm a rock n Roll nigger
Do you like the world around you? Are you ready to behave
Do you like the world around you? Are you ready to be a slave?
[Chorus]
Bubba dodged the draft in Vietnam, If Hitler was alive today he'd say, "Peace Man"
But the 60's came and the 60's went, and now Bubba is part of the Establishment
Got elected by 42%, He became the quota president
Packed the car and went to Washington D.C., He brought Al & Tipper & Hillary
[Chorus]
{He's a taxraiser, promise breaker, adulterer, He's a draft dodger, Liberal dictator, potsmoker}
Made a lot of promises for which he is famous, Wants a gay man up the army's anus
Knows you've got money and he want's it, If air wasn't free he'd put a tax on it
Says the countries problems are ones you made, I never burned a cross or owned a slave
He's even got a man for a spouse, People are crashing planes into his house
[Chorus]
He's got a dirty sock for a knob, Jennifer Flowers did the cleaning job
Tried to bag Ms. Paula Jones, Should have let Ted Kennedy drive her home
Other women just come naturally, Bubbas got 'em and so does Hillary
He thinks he's every woman's best, Better get that guy a Kevlar vest
They call him a Nazi, they call him a child cause he holds his head up high,
Too proud, some times too wild
He's the one who's full of hate, the target of abuse,
Won't try to explain himself because there is no use
[Chorus]
{He's a skin, He's a skin, stick with you through thick and thin
He's a skin and he'll be a skin when he's the only one}
You know that he's got his friends you know they stand tall
Each night maybe have some drinks, and then they have ball
Don't you try to stop them,
Don't get in their way,
No matter what you do We will have our say
Disco club 688 said they'd have a free beer night
We all knew we had to go, couldn't have known that the bomb would blow
All the regulars smelled like shit, We got tanked up on the flowing draft
Queers all gave us hated stares, We were drunk, we didn't care
[Chorus]
{It was black that night it was black as night, of the disco fight of the disco riot}
Club sent up a moldy band, Friends went up to make a stand
One cup of draft on the stage, bouncers got in a pissed off rage
Beer was gone it was time to go, fun had only started though
Up the street we realized, 3 of the boys been left behind
[Chorus]
Bill met a guy with a van and a wrench, beat his head to a bloody mess
They ran us down with the van, Chris took a broken leg like a man
Cops grabbed us, we all went down, They can't run us out of this black old town
I woke up to find she is leaving.
On my own with the winter feeling.
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no. And the tales of my deceiving.
Then the break of day broke my evening.
Oh no oh no it's all gone wrong.
Oh no oh no it's all gone wrong. Now it's happening.
Oh no oh no it's all gone wrong. Oh no oh no it's all gone wrong.
Meet me after show. Show me what I just don't know.
Hey Paul that's just not me. Where did he go.
Hey Paul I aim to please. Whatever you may need.
I dream of windswept cliffs. The cold the rain it fits.
Hey Paul that's just not me. Where did he go.
Hey Paul I aim to please. Whatever you may need.
Where is my mental health. Please don't wake me don't.
Don't wake me, don't wake me.
Missing you missing me. I just can't tell.
I don't know where I've gone it could be hell.
Find a place here to stay. Call it a home. Been around been around.
Dragging that stone. In the midst of it all. We both give up.
Time has passed friends fall down. Endorsed in black.
Found no place here to stay. Cannot get home.
Been around been around. Dragging that stone.
And then you got to go. I'm starting to feel it girl.
Nice life nice day. Nice life nice day. You suffer I just leave.
Nice life nice day. Got such a shallow hold.
Nice life nice day. Don't say you will if the will is won't.
Say you will if the will is won't
Try to hide it but your sicken yourself.
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry.
Starting over with the damaged cells.
Little sequence to damage your health.
Inside your dreaming but outside you'll find.
Mark my word when I see you tonight.
Going to pass you through to the other side.
O my son don't you live in fear.
Keep your friends real close and your enemies.
O my son don't you live too long.
With the little things that keep going wrong.
Run from sun don't you feel the flame.
On the green grass to the mountain high.
It's not that simple. No matter what you do.
There's a dark place for you. You got to follow me to.
You just see weakness. I build it sky high. Just to tear it down.
Stories of dark ways. That leafy chill will lead to from us all.
I took the long way down. I took the long way out. Ruins and pillars.
Within the art I place my discontent. Within the statues.
Forever frozen. Speak with wet cement.
Life was so simple. Life was so simple.
We would laugh and get through. Now just dark.
Just keep on spreading disease. I don't care I do what I please.
And you keep telling me slow. I don't care I want to go wrong.
Don't matter who you used to know. Oh such a stupid game to play.
It's missing time all the time. Sort of missing someone here tonight.
And you keep telling me slow. I don't care I want to go wrong.
Don't matter who you used to know. It's such a stupid game to play.
It's killing time all the time. Sort of missing someone here tonight.
Someday soon I'll feel in control. I believe in everything wrong.
Fried every night till the start of the day.
I live my life in this beautiful way. Yeah.
One day soon she will despise. Guided by voices followed by lies.
Fried every night till the start of the day.
I live my life in this beautiful way. Yeah yeah yeah yeah.
Come sit beside me won't you tell me what's wrong?
Can't find any wrong dear but you might live too long.
Yeah yeah yeah yeah. Someday soon I'll feel in control.
Gone too far to lose yourself. Long suffering end.
Forever changed welcome to unwell. The eagle will rise high again.
Long suffering end. Fallen cities burn into the land.
I see clearly a long suffering endless fight.
Sun rise sun dies long suffering endless fight.
I see clearly. A long suffering endless fight.
Sun rise sun die. A long suffering fight. Good to see you down again.
Look the other way. Don't have much to say. No more getting through.
Don't know who you are. I see, I see it's me. No more what's up today.
It nearly did me in. It nearly did me in. I see, I see it's me.
No more what's up today. It nearly did me in. It nearly did me in.
Slow down can't you see I'm trying to explain.
No okay now the summers really going to end.
Above the silver city. I'm always lost to her ways.
Some day I'm going to find. Someone true. Miana is her name.
She's so. Not okay here we go around and round again.
Today watch out as I'm eclipsed again.
Above the silver city. I'm always lost to her ways.
Someday I'm going to find someone true. Miana is her name. She's so.
I'm always lost to her ways. Some day I'm going to find someone true.
Miana is her name she's so blue. Now i feel slightly real.
Dont want to see you again
I count the days you are
sober and sane
I've never seen this before
But you will not be here no more
And you'll come with me
'Cause you can see me not being sorry
And you'll let me show you
You and me cant see fully in there
Cant see fully in there
You really startled me in there
Just to fake all my dreams
It's like someones been there before again
It's like everything you need
You really startled me in there
Just to fake all my dreams
It's like someones been there before again
It's like everything, everything you mean
Hold on, you would have said
You wont let me forget
The sadness of man
I've never seen this before
I cant stand to be here no more
And you'll come with me
'Cause you can see me not being sorry
And you'll let me show you
You and me cant see fully in there
Cant see fully in there
You really startled me in there
Just to fake all my dreams
It's like someones been there before again
It's like everything you need
You really startled me in there
Just to fake all my dreams
It's like someones been there before again
Its all about tomorrow
About all those things we know
I cannot stand this any more
If there was you and me no more
I cannot find the answers
I cannot find a place to go
I cannot find the answers
I cannot find my way back home
Then you told me after
There is no chance at all
And then you say my anger
Is gonna take it on
Then you told me after
There is no chance at all
And then you say my anger
Is gonna take it on
Its all about today
About the time I found my way
I'll live my life alone
And I've cried so much since you've gone
I cannot find the answers
I cannot find a place to go
I cannot find the answers
I cannot find my way back home
Then you told me after
There is no chance at all
And then you say my anger
Is gonna take it on
Then you told me after
There is no chance at all
And then you say my anger
I'm laying here on the floor
Face on the ground
If I could hold my breath
Until I die
Before I die, before I die
I'm still fighting on and on
Still dreaming my life goes on
But I'll be there by your side
Until I die
My spirit carries on
But I feel so alone
I'm burning by your side
Until I die
I've been hurt into my heart
And my blood is raining now
I try to think I try to fight
But the more I try, the more I die
Before I die, before I die
I'm still fighting on and on
Still dreaming my life goes on
But I'll be there by your side
Until I die
My spirit carries on
But I feel so alone
I'm burning by your side
