so ya wanna fight-fight the system
its a system -that doesn't listen
we want different things
we've got different goals
we're raking each other over coals
x2
IF WE STAND TOGETHER-WE CAN TEAR DOWN WALLS
IF WE FIGHT EACH OTHER-WE'RE ALL GONNA FALL
those 9 to 5 lifers want us to fight
cause they're afraid if we unite
we'll never be freinds
but we're too few
gotta agree on something
yeah me and you

Lost Angels
02:27
|
|||
see the house on the hill
thats where all the wild ones go
and every last one of us
has a place there you
dregs of society
outcasts from the insanity
LOST ANGELS-don't try and clip their wings
they've been through so many things
bones have been battered
dreams have been shattered
they just wanna be left alone
they do get in trouble
they do get blames
is it any wonder
they think the worlds insaine
force fed morals
codes not their own
live by their own rules
society condones
CHOURUS
None is innocent
no one is immune
we're all dancing to a different tune
talk to me not at me
and we don't have to LISTEN!

Killing Time (1998)
02:07
|
|||
walking around town-confused look on my face
what am I doing here-man I feel so outta place
FEEL LIKE I'M KILLING -KILLING TIME
AM I LOSING MY MIND-IS IT JUST A WASTE OF TIME
feelings of anger-feelings of disgust
I'll leave you in the dust
on the eve of destruction
I'm not worried-ready for reconstruction
CHORUS
my collapsing situation leads me to desperation
grasping at whatever to stay above water
it's really deep-but I won't follow falter
CHORUS

Body Bag
03:39
|
|||
I'm feeling cold and alone
if I was a dog
nobody'd give me a bone
everything is a mess
couldn't end too soon I guess
(chorus X2)
WILL THEY TAG MY BODY BAG-I don't know
WILL THEY TAKE MY CLOTHES AND RAGS-I don't know
WILL THEY TAG MY BODY BAG I JUST DON'T CARE ANYMORE
money and booze don't help at all
so withdrawn no one to call
do what I can to get by
king or pauper
my head is where I lie
CHORUS

Last Man Standing (1998)
01:53
|
|||
I don't need politics
I don't need suggestion
I don't need a TV
I don't need a you and me
I don't need pills
a chance at cheap thrills
I"ll take another drink
if it'll push me over the brink
x2
WHEN THE PARTYS
I'LL BE THE LAST MAN STANDING
I don't need guilt
I don't need blame
I don't need fame
a greater chance at shame
I don't need a car
cause it never gets me far
I don't need a car cause
it never gets me far enough
CHORUS

Rock N Roll

|

its time to break some rules
burn down the fucking schools
no ones learning anyway
kids go up fast
no childhood anymore
they just want to drink and fuck
KIDS TODAY ARE JUST THE SAME AS THEY'VE ALWAYS BEEN
THEY JUST WANT TO BE FREE
FREE FROM THEIR PARENTS CLUTCHES
FREE FROM SOCIETYS RULES
FREE FROM THE HANGMANS NOOSE
AND FREE- FREE TO CHOOSE
there's no families
just CDs and TVs
MTVs a role model
kids don't listen
I never did
how'd I turn out so good
CHORUS

Violent (1998)
02:05
|
|||
seeds of sickness have been sewn ok
old stereotypes now have grown
desperate measures to be taken
all treaties friendships now forsaken
VIOLENT, VIOLENT. VIOLENTLY x2
I'M VIOLENTLY PISSED
wading through all the piss and spit
nothing changing everythings shit
society stays bumming
we're all slumming
with all the changes that we hear
make the end feel so near
CHORUS
not enough pieces to be whole
no one cares-everyones lost their soul
who's role is it to play a savior everyday
don't look to religion to lighten the way
CHORUS

One Mistake
02:14
|
|||
don't wanna live in a heroin hell
don't wanna live in a prison cell
didn't wanna shoot the gun
live my life on the run
didn't wanna hit that bar
didn't wanna drive that car
don't really care about you
ya don't give a shit about me
ONE MISTAKE-ONE MISTAKE x3
fuck the business
fuck this town
nobody gonna push us around
people say we can't play
they're waiting in line anyway
? years down we're still around x2
CHORUS

I've been away for a long long while
even though I'm back-ya won't see me smile
as much as things have changed-they've stayed the same x2
x2
WHERE HAVE YOU GONE FRIENDS OF MINE
DEAD, MIA, LOST YOUR MIND
did I miss the weddings or the overdosings
weren't they just chapters you were closing
do you even remember me
will I be invited next time
CHORUS
raise a glass for friends who've fallen
raise a glass for those still here
fuck off if you mock us or try and deny us
fuck you if tried to kick us when we fell
when know dyings easy, its living thats hell
CHORUS
ask me why I'm back
just needed a place to go
ask me why I'm back
here feels more like home

Malcombs Bliss (1998)
01:10
|

got a letter from a friend
just the other day
told me he had a new game to play
caught up in crime and drugs
but he didn't understand
it wasn't part of the masterplan
and he said..I'M DOWN HERE ON THE FARM
WHERE I CAN DO NO HARM
MISS MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY
BUT THEY SAY I'VE LOST MY SANITY
well they locked me up
cause they didn't care
didn't wanna be bothered anymore
let the system fix
what society thinks is broken
its my heart thats been broken
my mind thats been stolen
CHORUS
well I gotta make my break
cause I'd rather be dead than here
know what I've done is wrong
but I've been here so long
gotta find that open door
cause I can't stand it anymore

02:40
|
|||
turn your back on me when I wasn't looking
thought you could be trusted but I was wrong
you joined the enemy wanna take shots at
unexpected, we know how to deal with you
I'M THE JUDGE AND I'M THE JURY
LETS GET A ROPE AND MAKE A NOOSE-I'M ON THE LOOSE
x2
HANG EM' HIGH- HANG EM' HIGH
THEY BETRAYED YOU-NOW THEY'RE ASKING WHY
loyalty was never given but earned
thought you'd learned but I was wrong
why'd ya do it-stupid or jealous
doesn't matter-we know how to deal with you
CHORUS

Left For Dead
02:17
|
|||
wrong town , wrong place
I could see in every face
fear of what they did not know
they just wanted me to go go go
they used fire and gasoline
no this isn't wasn't a dream
tared and feathered to no end
I have wounds that will never mend
DIDN'T KNOW WHERE I WAS
DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I DID
WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE
TURNED AND RUN
THEY LEFT ME FOR DEAD x4
in the ditch where I lie
dead dogs covered in flies
I never thought to ask why
they wanted me to die die die
revenge will be sweet
it'll be done oh so neat
no one will be missed
each bullet sent with a kiss kiss kiss
CHORUS

Contender
02:06
|
|||
getting off -these tough streets
getting outta the gutter can be quite a feat
given a chance-a left or right hook
the ring doesn't care if you ever read a book
x2
COULDA BEEN SHOULDA BEEN
MIGHTTA BEEN A CONTENDER
winning and losing- it just doesn't pay
why must it always be this way
ya take the money-ya take the dive
ya gotta eat-is it worth your pride
CHORUS
years later what happened
you're a bum passed out at the bar
did ya sell out or just give up
you once had heart...but now you have nothing
you have nothing
x2
you trained real hard-forever on the undercard
we played the shows- no one ever goes
CHORUS

Prophet
02:26
|
|||
well a minds a terrible thing to waste
try and humble me to taste
you've been forwarned
I'm full of hate and scorn
x2
mercy, guilt I don't feel
what do you have for me to steal
I'M A PROPHET FOR THE NEXT CENTURY
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF ME
I'M JUST A BAD SEED
I WANNA SEE YOU BLEED
like lambs to the slaughter
I'll take every fathers daughter
your young impressionable sons
will get my work done
x2
I'll only play when it pays
I'm the bad son who never prays
CHORUS
put me to the test-I'll show you who's best x2
young or old it makes no difference
I'm about human sufference
will you fall under my spell
or hide away in your cell
you can't run forever
not from me not ever
you're already too late
I signed away your fate
CHORUS

Nothing Left
02:02
|
|||
this time was the last time I promised myself
I said I'd never go back again cause it caused too much
and I knew it was wrong to do it again
now I'm left alone again
GIVEN TOO MUCH-TAKEN THINGS TOO FAR
GIVEN TOO MUCH-NOW THERE'S NO WAY BACK
GIVEN TOO MUCH-NOW THERE'S NOTHING LEFT x2
he, she, or it, whats it matter
they said I'd be okay but they never hurt
I knew they were lying as I was crying on the floor
I would be left alone again
CHORUS
struggling to breath-its all that I need
I think I'm done with it all
then it comes back to haunt me
then I'm left alone again
guess I'll never be free from it all
CHORUS

Forever Remain
03:39
|
|||
some gotta be famous-some just have to live
some people got stuff to sell-others are willing to give
and people before, what keeps their spirit alive
the good the bad they did-lets the spirit thrive
I WON'T BE FORGOTTEN-ANOTHER FACE IN THE CROWD
I WON'T BE FORGOTTEN-ACTIONS SO LOUD AND SO PROUD
FOREVER TO REMAIN
FOREVER I WILL STAIN
so whats it gonna take-for you to leave a mark
will ya grow in the light or hide in the dark
whats it gonna take for you to make a stand
don't wanna be another grain of sand
CHORUS
will ya leave a legacy-something to save
are ya looking at a headstone or an unmarked grave
will ya come to play or hide away
