America the beautiful

Lock your door, lock it tight
it's the new immoral right
they want to cleanse the home of the brave
for the master race of the USA

it's so beautiful

on the street, you won't know them
like a pack of wolves in sheep's clocthing
spreadin' wide, spreadin' far
not just another false alarm

it's so beautiful

America - I've got my bible
America - I've got my handgun
America - are you ready
America - it's the home of the brave
America - an' the home of the slaves
America - are you ready

beautiful, home of the brave,
beautiful!

13

OK all you pathetic perverts

I don't wanna hold you
I don't wanna know you
I don't wanna be with you
or even see you

I don't wanna have you in the town
even have you fuckin' around
I don't wanna see your face
it's a fucking disgrace

but if I want to
I will take you
she's only 13
that's just right for me

come on all you pathetic heros

Well, all the prison walls

well no one judges me - there's no way
nobody wants them - no way!

all the prison walls - burn it down
we won't let them stand - burn it down
I got to burn them down - burn it down

well nobody wants them

burn it down

murder in Hollywood

Cops are kickin' the door down at 5
everybody there was outta' their minds
said wake up boy, let's see some ID
guess it's deportation time for me

another murder in Hollywood
why won't you tell us the Hassles about
I'm half asleep an' now I'm freakin' out
what's that ya say, there's murder down below
it happens everyday in the land of snow

another murder in Hollywood

In Hollywood murders everyday
macho man killing all the gays
street gangs fight until the end
rip off dealers kill their friends
crazy cops kill for kicks
psycho city has them in its grips

another murder in Hollywood
just another murder in Hollywood

life is cheap!

Lumberjack city

Timber!
I was walkin' through the bush one winter day
when suddenly this axe comes flyin' my way
I turned around an' said, what the hey!
this is gonna be my judgement day

there he stood about 6'4''
a big beer belly an' bear claws galore
I turned around an' asked him why he was
actin' so sore
listen Bud an'I tell ya why for

lumberjack city - that's where I'm from
lumberjack city - ya might wanna run
we'll drink your beer, we'll drink your rum
lumberjack city, come on!

We hiked along, as the wind did blow
listen buddy, it's a ways to go
we grabbed a canoe an'started to row
an' found that camp up in the snow

He looked at me eye to eye
then I saw the timber stacked a mile high
big kegs of beer an' lots of fish to fry
then he gave me a big shot of rye

well, if you're looking for work, this is it
but better come ready as a fiddle is fit
always be ready to live by your wits
cause the bears will chew up, the ones that quit

lumberjack city

Waiting for you - part 2

Right!

I'm sitting here with a sharpened blade
sitting here with a loaded gun
with my back to the sun
just waiting for you

waiting for you
waiting for you
Right!
waiting for you

woke up screaming

I don't really care, what they say
I don't really care, what you do
I just know I'm sick of this crap

the cops they took me an' beat me blue
it wasn't what I was or what I do
it was just being alive

I took a chance on the other side
got off this downhill slide
stopped wastin' my time

I had a dream, I saw a scheme
I saw a man hang on a beam
next thing was, I woke up screaming

it wasn't what I was or what I do
it wasn't anything, to do with you
it was just, being alive

I took a chance on the other side
got off this downhill slide
stopped wastin' my time

Liar for Hire

You lie, love to lie
bull and brag, screw around

liar for hire - do anything
liar for hire - use anything
liar for hire - do anything
liar for hire

get out, get out, gotta' get out
get you out of here, get rid of you

nobody wants you, nobody needs you
nobody's gonna die for you
nobody wants you, nobody needs you
nobody's gonna die for you

backwards:
Jerry Falwell eats shit at the
foot of the devil and loves it!

you just cut, cut yourself off
you don't count, count anymore
you were a friends, I trusted you
I trusted you, trust no more

liar for hire - do anything
liar for hire - use anything
liar for hire - do anything
liar for hire

2+2

The files got your name, an' it's got your number
an' sooner or later, they'll try to put you under
the crack of the whip, but only slaves obey
so ya gotta' break out, of your personal hell

hey hey - say it today - what they say
old dreams in the way - in the way
don't listen what they say - no

peoples are a question and ideals are a bastion
but something's been dyin' an' your afraid of askin'
so ya get a message, 'bout havin' to stop
the things your takin', come on, take the lot

hey hey - say it today - what they say
old dreams in the way - in the way
don't listen what they say - no

right now they're talk-talk-a-talking'
cause were walk-walk-a-walkin'
an' the way we're movin'
the more they know they're losin'
But they try, but they try
but they try, to put us under
but they want, they just can't
an' they want, put us under

hey hey - say it today - what they say
old dreams in the way - in the way
don't listen what they say - no

it's your life that's runnin' away

lets wreck the party

Wildmen break into the house
drinking their beer and shouting abuse
they've got no time for messing around
they want some fun, so they shout

lets wreck the party
lets wreck the party
lets wreck the party
lets wreck the party!

beer, more beer!
get what we want
get outta' my way, if ya' ain't got none
smashing the tables an' breaking the chairs
oh my God!

goin' crazy an' goin' nuts
drinkin' the whiskey an' gettin' cut
when it's over, it's gonna be rough
when it's over, it's gonna be nuts

lets wreck the party
lets wreck the party!

The prisoner

Ya hey! that's right!

apartment walls, halls are small
government buildings site, much too small
these tiny boxes wont let me out
these tiny boxes are remote

It's a screamin' mess
television city dream
your robot's eyes gleam
in my future dream

that's right

it's not fate or chance
it's the money in the bank
burn the timber an' gather the bricks
drive'em into the fire, the bloody pricks

it's a screamin' mess
I am the prisoner - yeah!

I am the prisoner
the prisoner, the prisoner
I am the prisoner
the prisoner, the prisoner

do or die

it's either do or die!
it's either do or die!

charged up and hungry, all systems are go
psyched from the hype, trained monkey show
the men in control are scouting the field
do or die, a fate will be sealed

charging now to butt their heads
clawing mud, making threats
charging hard for every inch

it's either do or die
win the day just walk away
it's either do or die - or just walk away

butt your way to the front of the line
everybody knows, success is really blind
there ain't no rule that's been made that you can't bend
no price is too high, for a means to an end

and in the end, when it's told
just now you were sold
your reputation grows

it was a good fight they say
movements were like ballet
a good solid hack and a stab in the back
the crowd let out a roar
a frenzy for blood and gore
lusting for more an' more

it's either do or die - do or die, it's do or die
it's either do or die
it's either do or die - do or die, it's do or die
it's either do or die

fuck that shit

well fuck that shit
blow it out yer ass
well fuck that shit

the cops on the street
don't like your skateboard
start givin' you a lot of shit
when ya run down the street an' yell back
yell back something like this - fuck that!

well fuck that shit
blow it out yer ass
well fuck that shit
that's right, here comes my favorite fuckin' part

your tired of the crap that they're pushing at you
on TV and at school
well I'm sick, sick of it too
I'm just gonna yell, screw you!

well fuck that shit
screw you
well fuck that shit

I'm tellin' you - fuck that fuckin' shit
I'm tellin' you - fuck that fuckin' shit
I'm tellin' you - fuck that fuckin' shit
shit-shit-shit-shit-shit-fuck that fuckin' shit

General strike

This is a song about power, the power that you and I have in our hands
the power of the people.
'cause you know all over this world, people finally get it together,
get the courage together, they use a general strike.
It's one of the strongest things they got.
In eastern Europe, central America, in north America,
believe it or not, 'cause it's power to the people.
Come on!


Were tired, yeah tired of workin'
Were tired of workin', yeah workin' for nothin'
we all want, what we got comin'
all we need is a break
come on, make no mistake

Everything is not all right
and there's no end in sight
you can call it what ya like
come on, stand up for your rights

stand up, stand and unite
it's time for a general strike
stand up, stand and unite
it's time for a general strike

we been out, breakin' our backs
been out working, getting no slack
all week long just payin' those bills
that's just the people, that still got a job
what about the rest of us - on the soupline

Everything is not all right
and there's no end in sight
you can call it what ya like
come on, stand up for your rights

stand up, stand and unite
it's time for a general strike
stand up, stand and unite
it's time for a general strike

Race Riot

Race riot, don't try it

race riot, don't buy it, we don't want that crap
race riot, don't buy it, we don't want that crap

Race riot, don't try it
KKK, we're gonna fry it

race riot, don't buy it, we don't want that crap
race riot, don't buy it, we don't want that crap
