"You'd Do The Same"

You think you're oh so different
Well, you'd do the same as me, yeah

"You've Got To Die For The Government"

You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government?
Die for your country? That's shit!
There's a Gulf War vet, dying a slow, cold death
And the government says, "We don't know the source of his sickness."
But don't believe what they say, because your government is lying
They've done it before and don't you know they'll do it again
A secret test, government built virus
"Subject Test Group: Gulf Battle Field Troops"
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government?
Die for your country? That's shit!
First World War veterans slaughtered, by General Eisenhower
You give them your life, they give you a stab in the back
Radiation, agent orange, tested on US souls
Guinea pigs for Western corporations
I never have, I never will
Pledge allegiance to their flag
You're getting used, you'll end up dead!
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government?
Die for your country? That's shit!
I don't need you to tell me what to do
And I don't need you to tell me what to be... FUCK YOU!
I don't need you to tell me what to say
And I don't need you to tell me what to think! What to think!
What to think, what to think, what to think, think, think, think!
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government?
Die for your country? That's shit!

Following society

Drunk and Quiet
"there's no future for me."
IMPATIENCE with society
BE WHAT they want you to be
IMPATIENCE "there's no future here"
"I'm not lazy I just don't care"
Of course there is no future
when you make sure there is none
Impatience "time is wasting,
there is No Future to be won"
If you truly don't care,
then why talk No Future
Excuses hang like nooses
"I've given up I just don't care"
IMPATIENCE with society
BE WHAT they want you to be
IMPATIENCE "there's no future here"
"I'm not lazy I just don't care"

"Safe Tonight"

You know I feel so violent,
Just want to break some glass,
Every day I pray it'll be my last
Turning to a blank wall wondering what to do?
Turning to a caliber .22
Every day he starts the same old fight.
And every day it just gets worse by night.
If I hit the streets I think I'll be alright.
But until I do, I won't be safe tonight.
Safe tonight
Every day I remember all that lead to this.
And every day don't ya know I get a little more pissed.
Banging on myself because I just don't care.
There's nothing left for me back there
He's twisted and violent,
I don't know what to do.
I left there for the streets last night
Thinking only of you, be safe tonight
Safe tonight
It all falls down on to me, like a baseball bat.
It hurts me, haunts me, hurts me, haunts me
I never want to go back.
I'm twisted tonight, and I don't know what to do?
I'm twisted tonight, I want to be with you, I want to be with you,
I want to be with you, be with, be with, be with you..
Safe tonight

"Red, White And Brainwashed"

They use the flag to control us
Brainwash us to be their patrotic slaves
Programs our minds by controlling what we learn
The only difference from the nazis is that
Someone tried to stop them
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED

Just as long as we increase their pay

RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED
The red stands for the blood of all the people
We've slain
The white for this racist, bigoted foundation
The blue for your arayan eyes -- all empty
Empty because you're taught to bow down to the man
"Fly that flag, that flag of freedom"
"Do what you can for your country"
Go and fight their wars for them
"They're not following in our footsteps,
KILL THEM!"
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED

He thinks because he's got spikes on his
Leather, that he's the punkest, he thinks

Nose in the air, the only thing bigger
Than his ego is his hair
He thinks that uniform he's wearing is a
Good excuse for his snobby glaring
Davey destroyed the punk scene

He thinks that uniform he's wearing
Makes him a punk, yeah
Davey destroyed the punk scene
Davey destroyed the punk scene
I don't know when punk became a uniform
I always thought that uniforms were
For the army
But I guess he's right he's got punk rock
Hair, he paid a fortune for his gear
Davey destroyed the punk scene
Davey destroyed the punk scene
He thinks that uniform he's wearing,
Makes him a punk, yeah
Davey destroyed the punk scene

Sacrificing us for his image, punk rock
Kids will pay

He thinks that uniform he's wearing
Makes him a punk, yeah
Davey destroyed the punk scene
Davey destroyed the punk scene
Davey destroyed the punk scene

"She's My Little Go-Go Dancer"

I was talking to this girl before a show
Does she like me? i don't know
I asked her to go out on saturday night
She said "ok that would be alright"

Then she left she had to go to work
She gave me her number and said, "i feel like a jerk."
I asked her if she'd dance for a song
She said she'd be dancing all night long

She's my little go-go dancer [x3]
She's my little fast kids go-go-go

She didn't tell me she danced in a cage
Hanging high above the stage
I worked my way with a push and a shove
Before i knew i knew it i was in love

I waited every second until saturday night
I took her to dinner things were going alright
Then we went out dancing went to have some fun
We danced and we danced - danced all night long

She's my little go-go dancer [x3]
She's my little fast kids go-go-go

"Police State In The USA"

The Berlin Wall falls in the East
The West claims triumph, "We've really got 'em beat!"
Politicans from the West claim the police state's dead
But what of the police state in the West?
Police State in the U.S.A.
Facism with a friendly face
Police State in the U.S. U.S.A. U.S.A. U.S.
The government controls everything you do
With police and the feds watching over you
You try to stand against them and you'll end up dead
As your front door is smashed in by the ATF
Police State in the U.S.A.
Facism with a friendly face
Police State in the U.S. U.S.A. U.S.A. U.S.
One, two, thre, four
Your television screen shows the feds most wanted
But do you truly know why these men are being hunted?
It's a big brother state it's the same as the East
The cops protect the rich and corporate elite
Police State in the U.S.A.
Facism with a friendly face
Police State in the U.S. U.S.A. U.S.A. U.S.A.
Police State in the U.S.A.
Facism with a friendly face
Police State in the U.S. U.S.A. U.S.A. U.S.A.

"Punk By The Book"

Covered in leather, or plaid patches, or metal studs
Your hair is dyed or spiked with glue
You only talk to those who look and act the way you do
Cause you think you're so fuckin' cool

Punk. Punk. Punk.
Punk by the book.
Book. Book. Book.
Punk by the book.
Book. Book. Book.
Punk by the book.
Book. Book. Book.

You say that punk to you is what's in your mind,
Not what you wear,
But you know you're so full of shit!
You scoff at how the cops treat you,
But they're no worse than dicks like you!
I just can't understand what you're thinking.
Punk. Punk. Punk.
Punk by the book.
You're punk by the book...
Hey!
Hey!
You're punk by the book! Book!

"Fuck Police Brutality"

A bunch of punks hangin' out on the streets before a show
Patty wagon pulls up -instinct- "Run Man, let's just go!"
Cop chases them through the streets and then they go inside
They run into a show where maybe they can hide
FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE BRUTALITY!
FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE BRUTALITY!
FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE BRUTALITY!
FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE BRUTALITY!
He hides just standing in the crowd there's nowhere he can run
The cop comes up behind him and cracks him with a gun
Drags his bloody ass outside and throws him to the ground
"There's nowhere left to take you boy you're already downtown"
FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE BRUTALITY!
FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE BRUTALITY!
FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE BRUTALITY!
FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE BRUTALITY!
But the cops can do no wrong
They can kill, they can rape, they can do what they want,
But the cops can do no wrong
We've got to fight, take back the right,
The cops are just like Hitler's Third Reich, do what they want
Who do we fear? Who do we trust? How do we know?
Who do we fear? Who do we trust? How do we know?
FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE BRUTALITY!
FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE BRUTALITY!
FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE BRUTALITY!
FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE BRUTALITY!
FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE BRUTALITY!
FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE BRUTALITY!

"I'm Being Watched By The CIA"

Oh say can you see
By the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hail
At the twilight's last gleaming
I'M BEING WATCHED I'M BEING WATCHED
I'M BEING WATCHED BY THE C.I.A.
I'M BEING WATCHED I'M BEING WATCHED
I'M BEING WATCHED BY THE C.I.A.
They said there's drug dealers selling on my streets
Those fuckers capped me three times in the feet
I've got two slugs embedded in my chest
Two hollow points from the nations best
I'M BEING WATCHED I'M BEING WATCHED
I'M BEING WATCHED BY THE C.I.A.
I'M BEING WATCHED I'M BEING WATCHED
I'M BEING WATCHED BY THE C.I.A.
They call me on the phone when I'm home alone
They ask for the Marines but they're just a bunch of whores
They spend their money on hotels just so they can tell
Tell Mr. President that I'm jerking off
I'M BEING WATCHED I'M BEING WATCHED
I'M BEING WATCHED BY THE C.I.A.
I'M BEING WATCHED I'M BEING WATCHED
I'M BEING WATCHED BY THE C.I.A. C.I.A.

"No More Dead"

Why don't you come over here and see what you've created
It'll make you laugh so hard you'll cry
And lookin' into the black you make me so far past sick
Lookin' into your eyes I wish you'd die
No more dead
No more dead
Two, three, four
Well I've seen the crosses burnt and holy
And the people they all come down they're screaming
"Hey man, it's a fix!"
And I looked into the cause in which, you were striving towards
And I thought, though of the wasted, the wasted youth..
No more dead
No more dead
No more dead dead dead
No more dead
No more dead
No more dead
No more dead dead dead
No more dead
He's lying all alone
His life is stolen, yes it's gone
Into the black of the night can't you see it was no fault of his own
Trapped in a slum, bred into a slum,
Killing his own instead of rich white men
And he's never gonna escape from it now,
Because it's over, and he's dead
The end

"Kill The Rich"

A billionaire chatting with his friends
They've gotta stop and laugh
"We've really got those suckers fooled,
We've gotta 'em trained like rats!"
The riches plot, control your thoughts, to make you blame yourself
"The rich are rich because they're smarter than me.."
You're taught this is right, that it's your fault
KILL, KILL, KILL!!!
KILL, KILL, KILL!!!
KILL, KILL, KILL!!!
KILL, KILL, KILL!!!
They throw a war like a party saying,
"It's for a moral cause.."
Telling you if you're a patriot that
"YOU BETTER DO WHAT YOU'RE TOLD!"
You burn a flag, you're gonna hang,
Brainwashed nationalism makes you a tool
They're getting rich by selling weapons to both countries,
You never think to question what you're told!
KILL, KILL, KILL!!!
KILL, KILL, KILL!!!
KILL, KILL, KILL!!!
KILL, KILL, KILL!!!
They're gonna give you nothing
They want to take way the little they call something
You know you're being used still you play along
If you're not complacent,
You're doing something wrong
One day they'll push to far
That marks the beginning of their end
We'll being them crashing down until they're all dead
They're all dead, they're all dead!
The time is growing near..
Put the trigger to the man...
Ok, let's go, kill 'em!
KILL, KILL, KILL!!!
KILL, KILL, KILL!!!
KILL, KILL, KILL!!!
KILL, KILL, KILL!!!
KILL, KILL, KILL!!!
KILL, KILL, KILL!!!

"Confused Youth"

She’s always askin' him what he wants to do
How many times does he have to say, he's fucking confused?
He’d run away but there’s nowhere else to run
Why do they try to conform us? we just wanna have fun

We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight for our youth
Wo...oh...oh confused youth
Wo...oh...oh confused youth
Wo...oh...oh confused youth

"Why don't you go to school? You need to grow up."
They’re so infatuated like growing up is something you shoot up
Some girls my age they want to have a baby
Well I actually don’t wanna get married... they're fucking crazy

We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight for our youth
Wo...oh...oh confused youth
Wo...oh...oh confused youth
Wo...oh...oh confused youth

Adults like to bring us up to be and act like them
If we don't act alike, discard and try again
There is no room deep in their eyes for an individual
“Conform” and “stand in line” make sure you fit the mould
It’s alright to grow old, to mature and become wise
Too bad all they seem to want is to die in ignorance
Straighten your back, straighten your face and lose your grin
It’s time to be serious, think hard but always give in
You are the inferior, open your eyes and close your mouth
Just grow up to be just like me, watch and follow with no doubt
Train children like a dog, try not to get in the way
When I talk you should obey, try not to get in the way
It’s not a war, what are you fighting for?
Life’s not a war, there's no need to conform
We need help but not everyday
No need, no need to use force
We need help but not in every single way
We don't need utter control

"Why don't you go to school? you need to grow up"
Like growing up is something that you just shoot up
All of us, we'd run away, but where would we go?
Just loosen your grip on our leash you don't have to let go

We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight for our youth
Wo...oh...oh confused youth
Wo...oh...oh confused youth
Wo...oh...oh confused youth

"The Truth"

They feed us brainrot, and tell us that it's true
Dan Rather is reporting something but it isn't news
It's molded, and folded, and beamed into your home
The next minute you find yourself dying for fucking oil...

Immediate - Reaction, to the brainrot in your mind
Immediate - Subtraction, to the time left in your life
Immediate - Reaction, to the brainrot in your mind
Immediate - Substraction, but all we really want,
all we really want, is truth

Bred into silence by television sets
Accepting lies from media so soon we will forget
The lives that we spend as workers for the rich
You work so much there's no time left to realize
that you're in a fucking ditch

"Their System Doesn't Work For You"

One day while sitting in my room
You came in preaching
Your words predicting doom
You've never once been
Happy with me,
Because I'm not
What you want me to be..No!!!
You tried to teach me
To pray and go to school
You tried to teach me
To be the system's tool
But you missed
What I was smart enough to see
That their system doesn't work
For you or me

Oh..Don't believe what they say is true
Oh..Their system doesn't work for you
Oh..You can be what you want to be
Oh..Don't have to choose

To join the corporate army
For god and country give up your life,
Don't try to figure out what's wrong or right
You never tried to stop, to look, to see
That you're exactly what you're told to be
You did everything fucking right
You followed the system's guiding light
And now you fucking bitch to me
To fucking get a job,
When you don't like
That life you've got
You fucking corporate whore
For you or me

Oh..Don't believe what they say is true
Oh..Their system doesn't work for you
Oh..You can be what you want to be
Oh..Don't have to choose

To join their corporate army
Don't have to choose
To join their corporate army
Dont have to choose, don't have to choose
To join their corporate army

He knew he was guna get it bad

And lookin back this lost punk said, he said
