+===== 7 seconds =====
+==== > Skins, Brains & Guts (1982) ====
+==== SKINS, BRAINS & GUTS ====
+Walk the streets, you point at me, yeah hardcore pride is what you see
+Your insults are a parody, cos you're so fucking scared of me
+(Chorus)
+We're skinheads, brains, guts! (2)
+Call me ugly, I don't care, I feel good in the clothes I wearCall me dumb, I've gotta brain, when I'm hurt, I feel the pain
+(Chorus)
+Smash this town to bits we do, no one's gonna mess with you
+Take 'em on we ain't afraid, angry kids so hear us say
+(Chorus)
+==== NO AUTHORITY ====
+Tryin' to fucking change my mind, just won't work - No way!
+I don't want your stagnant rules, they're for the fools - Not me!
+Total anti-government is all I plan to be
+No self-proclaimed authority will put their claim to me
+(Chorus)
+No authority! Nobody's fool patsy
+No authority! I just wanna be -
+Ain't a commie, fuck the nazi's, belong to no one's club
+No fucking war in any way could make me grab a gun
+All I wanna do is just be what I wanna be
+But I can't see no future in this lame authority
+(Chorus) (2)
+Me!
+==== REDNECK SOCIETY ====
+Narrowminded rednecks, such lame mentality
+Believe in old time standards, like guns and bigotry
+They say they're proud of their home
+This fine old U.S.A.
+But asked what color is the one, and see just what they say
+Just what they say (3)
+(Chorus)
+I'm stuck in a redneck society!
+Fools with age old morals, want the same old thing
+Money, war, racism, with nothing in between
+They don't want liberals in the way
+They just sit back and see
+Their power's in the White House and the moral majority
+Majority (3)
+I'm stuck in a redneck society!
+==== BABY GAMES ====
+Romper room, you think it's fun, play your games on everyone
+Do your best to be a fool, think you're cute, think it's cool
+(Chorus)
+Don't you be a bit surprised, that maybe soon they'll realize
+of you, and you're the same, busy playing baby games
+Run around like 2 year olds, the way you act is getting old
+Talk behind our backs, I say, monkey see's the only way
+(Chorus)
+==== RACISM SUCKS ====
+Do you think that all blacks are niggers?
+Ignorance is an attitude
+You wallow in your racist stupor
+Have you really stopped to think?
+Do you believe in the K.K.K., do you think White Power rules today?
+Would you like to shoot a white man dead, would you like to bust
+a black man's head - No way!
+In England there's the National Front, headstrong bunch, these fuckin' cunts
+With Webster as their figurehead, they liberate Hitler as he lies dead
+They think they're so bloody tough, paki-bashing ain't enough
+Martin Webster like the K.K.K., map out all the plans his own way
+(Chorus)
+Racism sucks (6) Racism fucking sucks!
+Some black folks call the white race scum, cos they think we are the only ones
+Who only live in prejudice, while a lot of blacks live just the same
+Do you really judge a man, by the color of his skin
+You got the color, you got no right, to fuck up everybody else's life
+(Chorus)
+Kill, kill the K.K.K. Destroy Martin Webster!
+Kill, kill the K.K.K. Destroy Ronald Reagan!
+==== THIS IS MY LIFE ====
+I don't need you to tell me, what I've got to do
+I'm counting all the days, till I'm rid of you
+Tell me what to do, tell me what to say
+But no more fuckers, just get outta my way
+(Chorus)
+Cos this is - my life, this is - my life
+Stupid lame society, you wanna take control of me
+Parents wanna run my life, some girls act like my fuckin' wife
+(Repeat 1st verse)
+(Chorus)
+Get off my fuckin' back!
+(Chorus)
+==== ANTI-KLAN ====
+Prejudice throughout the land, don't look at us, we're anti-klan
+Black hates white, white hates black
+Tell me why, I don't understand
+(Chorus)
+I don't want a fuckin' race war - No way!
+I don't want no segregated schools - No way!
+I wanna have the right to choose my friends - Fuck you!
+I don't want your narrowminded ways
+Racial groups, they plan attack
+I guess they think we won't fight back
+I care about all human beings
+And not the color of their skin
+(Chorus)
+We're anti-klan! (4)
+==== I HATE SPORTS ====
+I hate watching football games, baseball is so fuckin' lame
+T.V. sports they all suck shit
+Howard Cosell is a wimp
+(Chorus)
+I hate sports, I hate sports
+I hate sports, I hate sports
+I hate watching baseball games, boxing is so fuckin' lame
+Ali and his old aged fame, yeah he's washed up, he's fuckin' tame
+(Chorus)
+==== WE'RE GONNA FIGHT ====
+We're gonna fight, we know who's right - Not you!
+Time to unite, we're havin' our say - Me, you!
+Oppressed us long, they've done us wrong - Dumb fools!
+We'll stand up tall, the future's ours - No rules!
+(Chorus)
+Me and you, we're gonna fight the narrow minds
+Make our own rules, live your life and I'll live mine
+long years, and thousands strong - That's right!
+We're not dumb, we're aware - Go away!
+Angry kids, rebellion rules - That's cool!
+We got our dreams, and we got our hopes - You know!
+(Chorus)
+(break)
+(Chorus twice)
+We're gonna fight - Oh!
+==== > Committed For Life (1983) ====
+=== 5 YEARS OF LIES ===
+You lie with ease right to my face
+You look straight in my eyes
+No task for you, you cannot see
+Between truth and dishonesty
+Friends so long yet you still try
+To force feed me your fucking lies
+(Chorus)
+I hear your lies, how come I'm the lucky one?
+I see your lies, glorify what you haven't done
+I hate your lies, stories different every time
+years of lies, 1-2, 1-2-3-4!
+You talk about the girls you know
+The asses that you've kicked
+Sometimes I sit in disbelief
+Wondering what you really think
+What I strive for, you laugh about
+Behind my fucking back no doubt
+(Chorus)
+=== DRUG CONTROL ===
+Drugs make you a man
+They help you understand
+It's a cheap escape and it's nothin' great
+But you do them when you can
+(Chorus)
+Drugs make you turn on me!
+Drugs will not set you free!
+Your money buys you dope
+Say you just can't cope
+But friends are cheap, when drugs can keep
+A buzz inside your head
+(Chorus)
+=== BOTTOMLESS PIT ===
+You pay your money to get in
+You're ready for some fun
+But once you get in you're afraid
+To get close to anyone
+You dance around real tough and mean
+Got macho thrash appeal
+Your image here is what's at stake
+And not the way you feel
+(Chorus)
+In the pit, you can't be yourself
+You're an image of what's cool
+And you ignore your friends
+Just another fool
+The hole grows bigger by the second
+And soon there's no one left
+No arms in arms cos in your eyes
+It looks too fucking queer
+But what's wrong with our unity
+Friends having fun as friends
+That pit is just a barrier
+And soon we hope to end
+(Chorus)
+=== FIGHT YOUR OWN FIGHT ===
+Standing scared you've always been that way
+Fight your own fight
+Paranoia every single day
+Fight your own fight
+Afraid to take a chance and be involved
+Fight your own fight
+Your self pride is hanging on a rack
+(Chorus)
+When will you stand up and help us be strong?
+How can you face life and live with yourself?
+Do you see justice in what they have done?
+You see confrontation and you turn and run
+One of us gets beaten to a pulp
+Fight your own fight
+You just turn and look the other way
+Fight your own fight
+Unite we have, but you're too fucking scared
+Fight your own fight
+Commit yourself , you never fucking dared
+Fight your own fight
+(Chorus)
+Fight your own fight!
+==== COMMITTED FOR LIFE ====
+Some year's gone by but I believe - Still!
+And in my heart I still feel - Real!
+I'd rather die before I'd call it quits
+Cos I can't feel the way that you feel
+(Chorus)
+A commitment, that will remain inside
+Just something I will never forget
+Don't tell me, that it's just my pride,
+A built in part of what's inside my head
+I've sacrificed alot and still feel strong - Still!
+But odds were that it wouldn't last for long - Wrong!
+Beliefs and views get stronger every way
+Tell me friend just where you stand today
+(Chorus)
+People say I've changed, say I'm much different now
+I've lost friends, jobs, money so tell me why...
+Let me hear your reasons, cuz I shaved my head
+And it changed my head
+What about our frienship, you say I'm such a bore
+And I'm "too" hardcore
+Now you just ignore me, well fuck you man
+Are you happy now?
+Promises were broken, but who broke them first?
+==== THIS IS THE ANGRY ====
+Tired of hearing us moan and complain
+Just cos you don't feel it
+Doesn't mean there's no pain
+Brought up then let down and run thru the course
+Able to fuck us and feel no remorse
+(Chorus)
+This is a cry for the ones who can't fight
+We're just the bad seeds who didn't turn out right
+We'll get a chance and we'll break down the door
+This is the angry, the young and the poor
+Turned on your own, kicked the dirt in our face
+We're stuck without money, no working, no pace
+Just think what you'd do if you were in our place
+Reality's waiting while you take up space
+(Chorus)
+(break)
+(Chorus)
+==== AGGRO ====
+Got that crazy feeling
+Scared you don't know why
+Head is spinning faster
+Haze is in your eyes
+And now you take a deep breath
+Wipe sweat off your face
+Your head and heart keep pounding
+Sets a frenzied pace
+Now the wall gets stronger
+Bodies hitting hard
+Air is thick and heavy
+No room left to breathe
+Now you feel the tension
+Eyes are open wide
+Nothing like this feeling
+Aggression deep inside
+(break)
+Buzz is in your head now
+Bones that start to ache
+Got that natural energy
+No more mental state now
+Something you can't fake
+==== > The Crew (1984) ====
+==== HERE'S YOUR WARNING ====
+Hey it's 1984
+With a glimpse of what's in store
+It looks like things are up to us
+No talk, just action in the streets
+That's what it's gonna take
+No calm youth in the U.S.A.
+(Chorus)
+It's summertime, American riot!
+I can't complain, unless I try it!
+The heat is here, a teenage warning!
+To those who fear, here's your warning!
+This could be the year
+That we could make some people think
+With smarter minds we'll hit the streets
+United we must make our stand
+Divided we will fall
+But it's up to us to take that step
+(Repeat Chorus)
+Complacent kids, that's all they want
+But if they want trouble they'll get it!
+Amidst years of youth unrest
+And now someone is pissed, right!
+(Repeat Chorus)
+==== DEFINITE CHOICE ====
+Take your pick and make a stand
+With no regrets or change of plan
+Keep your head, don't be afraid
+Be proud of the choice you've made
+Support your scene, you must believe
+Never stop just move ahead
+(Chorus)
+Oh Oh Oh! Definite Choice!
+Be positive, no ignorance
+To mindlessness, we must protest
+'Cause we're for real, we're gonna prove
+That our movement's on the move
+Fuck big business, church and war
+That's not what we're fighting for
+(Repeat Chorus)
+==== NOT JUST BOYS FUN ====
+Man you've gotta problem, who made you fuckin' king
+A macho pig with nothing in your head
+No girls around you, their place is not at gigs
+Don't want 'em on the dance floor 'cos they're weak
+A woman's place, the kitchen, on her back
+It's time to change that attitude, and quick
+(Chorus)
+Showing us your phobias, you're scared to see 'em think
+You'd rather dress 'em up in pretty lace
+All nice and colored pink
+You feel so fucking threatened
+When they stand out in front
+A stupid, passive piece of meat is all you really want
+But it's: Not just boys fun (4x)
+There's girls who put out fanzines, others put on shows
+Yet they're not allowed to get out on the floor
+Some make the music, well that you can accept
+Hell, maybe live you'll get some tits and ass
+You fucking moron, your brains have run amuck
+A girl's only lot in life is not to fuck!
+(Repeat Chorus)
+=== THIS IS THE ANGRY, PT.2 ===
+So you're tired of hearing us moan and complain
+Just 'cos you don't feel it
+Don't mean there's no pain
+Some are brought up and let down
+Then run through the course
+While they're able to fuck us and feel no remorse
+(Chorus)
+Oh Oh Oh! (4x)
+Well you've turned on your own
+Kicked dirt in our faces
+We're left with no money, no work, no paces
+Just think what you'd do
+If you were in our place
+While reality's waiting, you're taking up space
+(Repeat Chorus)
+Are you happy? Are you proud?
+Then sing real loud!
+(Repeat Chorus)
+==== STRAIGHT ON ====
+Yeah, you do drugs, you know I don't
+Yet it's a trend just 'cos I don't
+Leave me be, can't you see
+I hate the way it fuckin' smells
+I hate the way it makes me feel
+Thumbs down to all those drugs you need
+'Cos I'll just stay high naturally
+Just more false starts, it tears apart
+Your heart, hour head, your soul, your brain
+It helps the feeling, eases the pain
+==== YOU LOSE ====
+You're beatin' up on your friends
+'Cos you're so insecure
+You wanna be the toughest
+But we all know for sure
+You thrash because you know
+You're gonna start another fight
+But maybe when it's too late
+You'll finally see the light
+(Chorus)
+You're tough, you fight, you win, so what! (2x)
+You listen to the music
+It's the coolest thing to do
+But you don't ever listen
+To what it says to you
+Your boots don't make you bigger
+Your pose is nothing new
+Someday it's gonna happen
+When we watch you fuckin' lose
+(Repeat Chorus 4x)
+==== WHAT IF THERE'S A WAR IN AMERICA ====
+A street with bodies, filled with guts
+Child's world is such a mess
+One bomb could rip this place apart
+Yet who's to blame, where'd it start
+(Chorus)
+America's! War! (2x)
+Just one more war by '84
+It's killin' me and killin' you
+These enemies want a little taste
+Of what's left of American waste
+(Repeat Chorus)
+Our government, they gave the world
+With non of our voices ever heard
+A silence first and then a scream
+So much for the American Dream
+(Repeat Chorus 4x)
+==== THE CREW ====
+The older I become
+I can't help thinking hard about
+What's really gonna happen
+And what's in store for
+Us and them is bullshit
+And if we're gonna make it work
+We've gotta care together
+And see this too the end, see it to the end
+(Chorus)
+It'll take some time to fix it up
+But that is something we must do
+With solid hearts and clearer minds
+We'll raise our voice and blast right through
+We'll stop the ones who fuck it up
+And show the world that they can't stop the crew
+The crew is me, the crew is you, yeah we're the crew!
+The threat of war ain't over
+And yes I fear it's getting near
+With all this hate inside us
+It all may just start
+Here now will you listen
+Or would you rather just ignore
+You say we have no future
+Do we have a chance? Do we have a chance?!
+(Repeat Chorus)
+==== CLENCHED FISTS, BLACK EYES ====
+You say you're scared, we're not to blame
+'Cos mindless violence ain't our claim
+A new breed's here, we're gonna stay
+And break down all your shallow ways
+(Chorus)
+'Cos we are the new kids
+We've got our heads
+We'll keep on fighting
+'Til old ways are dead
+Clenched fists, black eyes! (2x)
+We're aiming for a different goal
+Succeeding where the hippies failed
+But one thing's sure and you can bet
+We'll be more than a drugged-out threat!
+(Repeat Chorus)
+==== COLOURBLIND ====
+I don't feel that prejudice
+Can't see divided lines
+To me we are all just the same
+Our difference in our souls and minds
+You tell me that the difference
+Is red, brown, black and white
+A world of such variety
+To you becomes an excuse for hate
+(Chorus)
+We've gotta learn, have hope, unite
+And care enough to end this fight
+You're hating with no real insight
+And burning crosses in the night
+A hundred years of barriers
+Yet still we can't see fit
+To bring about world unity
+And learn to live with it
+Now I'm not just complaining
+And I won't preach to anyone
+But we should think about it
+'Cos this war has not just begun
+(Repeat Chorus)
+==== AIM TO PLEASE ====
+What do you mean when you say
+We've changed our ways?
+Say we're just too political
+Or we don't have much to say
+The ones who criticize our reasons
+Always seem to disagree
+No matter what we do
+It's them we just can't seem to please
+(Chorus)
+Forgot the things we've said
+We're only clones
+Not cool enough to make it on our own
+Judged by the elitist chosen few
+Their labels aren't for me
+Are they for you?
+You say some years ago our songs were fine
+And our debut EP was just divine
+But now a shadow haunts us through and through
+And songs we wrote before you never knew
+(Repeat Chorus)
+==== BOSS ====
+How come everything you say is right
+How come everything I say is wrong
+You never ever open your mind
+You never seem to hear the things I say
+(Chorus)
+'Cos you're the boss, have a say
+Everything must go your way
+But count me out, I'm not about to listen!
+You judge me from your "upper" point of view
+Judge from what I say and what I do
+Tell me that you understand, you care
+But when I speak you're never fucking there
+(Repeat Chorus)
+==== YOUNG 'TIL I DIE ====
+You waited long for 21
+For me the fight has just begun
+You get in clubs, drink alcohol
+It makes you feel you're ten feet tall
+(Chorus)
+I don't wanna grow up
+I'm never getting old
+I'd rather work from 9 to 5
+Than drink to stay alive
+I'm gonna stay young until I die! (2x)
+You grew up fast, now you'll die soon
+I'll never fucking be like you
+You finish college, grab a wife
+You're dead before you're 35
+(Repeat Chorus)
+==== RED AND BLACK ====
+Something's creeping up your way
+With cans of pain and things to say
+We wait until the dead of night
+Then nail everything in sight
+(Chorus)
+We will attack in red and black
+Cover the buildings, the walls and the street
+We will attack in red and black
+Graveyard graffiti this whole fucking city
+Lots of kids, with nothing to do
+Important in the eyes of few
+A town with nothin' for the young
+An so our crusade has begun
+(Repeat Chorus)
+==== DIE HARD ====
+Action's being taken 'cos of this
+You fucked with us and now we're really pissed
+A hundred times you tried to shut us out
+But silence isn't golden, hear us shout
+(Chorus)
+Can't you see we're just too fast
+Youth we're made to last (2x)
+Youth we're comin'!
+==== I HAVE A DREAM ====
+Hatred I can't stand it anymore
+The color of our skin we must ignore
+Do you feel the pain or see the hurt
+Or do you let it pass right by instead?
+(Chorus)
+This fighting, dividing, y'know we'll only lose (2x)
+How come we can stand for such a crime
+Racial hate, a real sign of the times
+We've gotta raise our voice, begin the fight
+And equal world held high is in our sight
+(Repeat Chorus)
+Is this prejudice a way of life, tell me!
+Do you wanna be just like your friends, pressure!
+Is it 'cos you just jumped by someone, is it?
+You're condemning those who choose to live, unfair!
+==== BULLY ====
+All you talk about is you
+But we've got better things to do
+You're proving that you're tough and shit
+But we're for real and don't forget
+(Chorus)
+We're fun, you're not
+We play, we fight
+You're off, we're not
+That chip is all you got!
+You go out and fight the world
+Beat up boys and beat up girls
+And nothing's gonna change your ways
+You look at us, but we just say:
+(Repeat Chorus)
+Now another bully comes
+Beats your ass, away you run
+He'll be here to wear the crown
+'Til another comes around
+(Repeat Chorus)
+==== TRUST ====
+Hey now I've this feeling
+That I've never felt before
+I know it ain't cool to say this now
+But I can't help the way I feel inside
+Around you I can be the way I am
+Be happy, pissed or sad
+But the things I always think about
+Are of feelings we have shared
+(Chorus)
+'Cos when we are together there is something
+That I have with you, Trust!
+And as we're growin' closer I can feel it
+Flowing out from you, Trust!
+I hope you can feel the same way
+That I do, Trust!
+If there's one thing down between us
+That's a must, it's Trust!
+Look now, we can share emotion
+Something that we both thought was just too tough
+Aggression, love and honesty
+There could never be enough
+All I wanna do is just let you know that I care
+And when things get too hard for you
+Look back and I'll be there
+(Repeat Chorus)
+You inspire me intensely
+Without any doubt
+You keep me thinking, help me try
+Show that I can do without
+With you there's more foundation
+More than any other time
+And when it comes to you my heart is true
+Until the day I die
+(Repeat Chorus)
+==== > Walk Together, Rock Together (1985) ====
+==== IN YOUR FACE ====
+You wanna be the way I am
+But you could never understand
+You shave your fuckin' head
+Then you turn your back
+On your best friends
+(Chorus)
+It's not just in my head
+It's in my heart
+(It's in my heart)
+And you're not gonna
+Tear this one apart
+The way you look it fits
+How come your attitude is shit?
+You say you do it your own way
+But now I have the price to pay
+(Repeat Chorus)
+If I can give a fuck
+You better start, so...
+Use your head be aware
+Give a fuck!
+The same routine, fuck up again
+You have no real regrets
+But this is not just something
+I can easily forget
+(Repeat Chorus)
+I can't believe you've come this far
+Yet still so unaware
+No cause no brains no fire inside
+When will you learn to care
+==== SPREAD ====
+I grew up with love and affection
+Know what it means to spread that infection
+No matter what may stand in my way
+This energy within, it guides me day by day
+At times when I feel there is no way out
+I'll bitch, cry, moan, whine, scream and shout
+But what I'd like to see in the world most today
+We've got to SPREAD IT! SPREAD IT!
+Now I know you must be thinking
+There is something wrong
+How could I have the nerve
+To write this song
+Well, it's like I've got this feeling
+Stripped away of pride
+A crazy mixed up feeling
+That I just can't hide
+Emotion is this great thing
+We've all got it, let it show
+If you can share emotion
+Then by all means let me know
+And if we wanna make a better world today
+SPREAD IT! SPREAD IT! THIS WORLD OVER! GO!!!
+==== REMAINS TO BE SEEN ====
+Listen to my story!
+It all began back in 1980
+We were young, no direction, it was all so new
+Spending late nights in the basement
+Playing gigs in someone's kitchen
+So exciting, we had dreams and we still do
+And through the years our anger went
+Toward more progressive goals
+We had to overcome the barriers
+And plan a new direction
+Our main goal is to better ways
+And help communication
+With our positive commitment
+We can all succeed, and so
+OH!-OH!-OH! Part two of the story!
+Now I know that times are hard
+And giving in's easy
+But with work we'll get our message out
+To all the kids who care
+It's not too hard if you believe
+We've got to plan our destination
+Just live your life your way
+Make great your intentions
+And through the years...
+==== WALK TOGETHER, ROCK TOGETHER ====
+It's not the way we look
+It's not our stance, our style, our hair
+Forget those stupid barriers
+Take down that "FLAG" you wear
+Just people living on
+With different hearts and different minds
+If we live in the same world
+Why can't we stand in the same line?
+(Chorus x2)
+If we can walk together
+Why can't we rock together
+No I don't care
+If you're into different bands
+No cause for so much hatred
+I’m just a different man
+Pull off the cover I will too
+And learn to understand
+With music deep inside
+We'll make world our unity plan
+(Repeat Chorus)
+A label is a label
+Definition, nothing more
+And because of labels we have placed
+We live in constant war
+Destroy all that tradition
+And live before you die
+Let's rock together, from now on
+And never be denied
+(Repeat Chorus Slow)
+==== HOW DO YOU THINK YOU'D FEEL ====
+I can't stand the way you treat girls
+Aren't they just people too?
+Something for you to do?
+You like to fuck them
+But their feeling don't mean shit to you
+With your many ways
+You've always got something to prove
+(Chorus)
+Open your eyes 'cuz it's time you see
+It's time we were all treated equally
+Just when you think
+A woman's only there to take to bed
+You better think what's going on through her head
+You were raised to think
+A woman's job is slave to man
+But I'm here to tell you different
+You probably won't understand
+Conditioning's got you fucked up
+So you crave the upperhand
+Just try to look within yourself
+And change it if you can
+(Repeat Chorus)
+There's no room for bruising egos
+Man you rate supreme
+But equality for humanity
+Is what I dream
+Girls are just the same as you. You're no smarter, you're no better
+And only when you realize
+We'll take it a step further
+==== STRENGHT ====
+If what you see is what you get
+Just look toward us and never fret
+I'll sing this 'til I can't no more
+A part of what I'm waiting for
+It's there so strong and can you see
+A force, and what we have is strength
+(Repeat)
+And what we have is STRENGTH!
+All we need it's what we got!
+==== > New Wind (1986) ====
+==== THE NIGHT AWAY ====
+See you out there, it's like you'll dance the night away
+But the feelings aren't too good because you need to lead the way
+You call them friends, but now to you they have no air to breath
+And when the time is right you know you'll have to have the final say
+(Chorus)
+Music makes you feel good, so why make it a drag
+Too boots, the fist, the stance, you're out to win a loser's game
+How hard is it, to take them, when size is on your side
+Too blind to see, it's just a shame, when music's played in vain
+Big man with mean face now, are you bigger than you seem
+Find time to push around, and bring it down, until there's nothing left
+Our music and our message, out of love more than exists
+Are you there to hear it stop now, are you there to see it end
+(Chorus)
+But it happens and it happens, and we can not be afraid
+There's so many still who give a damn, but the good ones always seem to fade
+Is our future in the hands of those who dance the night away
+Or are you with me as I sing this song, cause we've got more to say
+Take a look around, do you see what's goin' down
+Take a look around, don't pretend it's not goin' down
+==== NEW WIND ====
+Excuse me, just wait one sec, have you ever really listened to a thing we've said
+You're not convinced that we could ever be a major force
+But just another youth subculture with a different song
+But for others, there's this other side, not really looking for some credit for the things we've tried
+Communication, it could work so fast
+Just cuz now you say it's over, does that make it past
+(Chorus)
+We could be the new wind - oh, oh!
+We could be the new wind - Do you know, do you care?
+We could be the new wind - oh, oh?
+We could be the new wind - Will you try, will you dare?
+A simple dream, no, not just that, can you just appreciate there's something we must find
+I'm not a "punker", just a human being, with this urge to exercise
+What's in my heart and mind
+It's not me hiding, from reality, pretend that I can shine it, turn around and walk away
+The contradiction, seems to follow you, assuring that there is really nothing we can't do
+==== SOMEBODY HELP ME SCREAM ====
+I know I've cried so many times, by far I've had some doubts
+And faces, faces, faces change, but still I have to shout
+Things have had me worried, will I ever have to be alone
+Then closed up doors push forward, see a side I've never known - oh!
+(Chorus)
+Somebody, somebody, somebody, help me scream
+Somebody, somebody, somebody, Help! Me! Scream!
+Someone there to drown the fire, but a passion bonds a solid link
+Heartbeat, heartbeat, heartbeat, skipping faster as I sink
+Is this a stay of dedication, when it's time to bail out
+Tell me is that what life is all about - Oh!
+==== TIED UP IN RHYTHM ====
+Busy with this special thing that takes me far away
+Living for the music if the spirit's gone, why did it fade
+I see you every once in a while, so little I can say
+I know how things have gone for you, you seem so far away (2x)
+(Chorus)
+Tied up, tied up in rhythm, that's my crime to you!
+And everything keeps getting tied up, tied up so tight, I don't know why
+You walked beside me, every step, until a dream had found
+A spot that drove me harder, and harder I keep pushing on
+I hope you won't forget me, the way I treated you
+Until I slow down a bit, I don't know what to do (2x)
+(Chorus)
+Dear shadow does it seem I've let you down
+Say lonesome, I never meant to let you down
+I'm sorry, I've taken for granted you'd be around
+==== GROWN APART ====
+It's hard to tell you how I feel, exactly what do I say
+These feelings from within for now, they just get in my way
+It seems that lately for some reason, we've been torn apart
+A bond so strong at one point, has it been blown away
+(Chorus)
+I'm gonna say this now and I won't hold back
+Have our hearts grown apart, do we still have a chance?
+Do we still have those hopes and dreams?
+And then I feel like giving in, forgetting what's been said
+Pretend like things are just the way, they were when we were young
+To share emotions we have shared, in friendship, brotherhood
+==== MAN ENOUGH TO CARE ====
+Daddy always told you, do it like a man, never get too friendly
+Some won't understand, friends have got you in on all those "hard" things that they've planned
+All your life they told you, never shed a tear, cuz boys don't crave affection
+Boys ain't got no fear
+But did they ever show you how to shut those feelings on then off again
+(Chorus)
+And now you gotta hide yourself, hide yourself away
+Show you care and you might show the world that you're only gay
+Crying is for babies, for boys is it a sin
+To be a caring, sharing, loving, human one
+Handshake show you're friendly, but don't get caught
+You gotta fight to prove you're not afraid, fuck just to prove you're not
+And all your life you play this game and it goes on and on and on and on
+Now you've grown into a man, proud as hell to be
+It's now your turn to raise a son, don't let him be one
+And you can teach him all the things you were taught yourself
+==== OPINION OF FEELINGS ====
+He said, "Come along, that urge has come again and now I'm feeling strong"
+Expectations of you, don't care is you want to want along
+Love for those who make it without knowing how another feels
+The fact is, what you do is rape, it never crossed your mind before
+(Chorus)
+An opinion of feelings
+It's just pride, no real depth
+Opinion of feelings
+Do those feelings mean anything at all
+He's pulled you down, he's taking aim, you wonder what he's waiting for
+And he may get his way this time, but will he ever change your mind
+A sharp resentment, guilt, deep pain, all this in the act of love
+And now you're just a victim of his gain, a selfish game
+==== THE INSIDE ====
+Through troubled times, news of hatred, death and war
+Find signs of an end, but it may just seem to be okay
+And I'm not alone, when I say I feel enough to think
+I know there's dark in all things so I find the light and struggle on
+(Chorus)
+Lead me with a grip so tight, I'll move ahead, I'll break the path
+I'll cross the line, and still reach out
+Wash my mind or stab my back but spirit stays my friend
+You can not sway what's on the inside
+Messin' around, but if it feels like serious, I fall to the ground
+And I pick myself up, so I can face the days
+Learn on my own but I get so much from things I see these days
+Vivid, so clear, I can't see why it's hard to understand
+==== CALENDAR ====
+I just got back to routine, it goes from day to day
+I've got this sneaky feeling, gets closer as we play
+After months and months of planning, hard work to hit the road
+No sense of "security" you get when you're at home
+(Chorus)
+And just for you, there is a calendar, not just a need for the time
+But just 'cause you're on my mind
+It's made of days, this simple calendar
+But it feels like years going by, where do I cry
+I've rearranged my whole life, such things are hard for two
+But still the music keeps me going and my heart is set on you
+We see so many faces, do cities look the same
+I'll take this voyage anyway, and hope someday you'll go
+==== EXPECT TO CHANGE ====
+I keep thinking each and every day
+Have I really made a difference, have I made things change?
+In all these years of "growing up" and "standing strong"
+Has it made a single dent with all that is so wrong?
+(Chorus)
+But if I haven't done a thing for world affairs
+At least I know I try and I'll show that I care
+'Cause it's me that has to make an effort
+Or what can I expect to change
+That's where it starts, in myself
+Not just shifting all the blame
+And as I'm growin' older, I can see the changes
+Yet history ain't history at all it seems
+I try to keep my head held high, eyes open wide
+And growing keeps me learning, yeah it keeps me free
+(Chorus)
+What have you got to think that time will stop for you?
+==== STILL BELIEVE ====
+I guess the others turned their backs on what they now call shit
+It doesn't really matter cuz it's their words I forget
+If 'core is dead, they've moved along and now they're rockin' out
+But I have doubts they ever knew just what it's been about
+(Chorus)
+But I still believe, I still believe, believe in myself (2x)
+Watch them bite and clw now as they line up on the rack
+A method to success and now there ain't no looking back
+They're playing better music with a message aimed at other crowds
+And they don't include a lyrics sheet cuz what they say ain't proud
+(Chorus)
+An empty pedestal and all these "heroes", where'd they, go! go! go!
+When I find myself a hero, I'll be sure to let you know
+==== PUT THESE WORDS TO MUSIC ====
+I always think about you, alone or with the band
+Just having something very special now, can it last very long?
+Do you doubt just how I feel, can you tell that it's for real?
+Just sharing certain feelings we all know
+The truth down from within
+(Chorus)
+Listen, but I can only show you, at times it's so hard with words
+We've gone this far and made it work
+You've got to know, that part is true
+Can you tell, that what I say, comes from my heart, it's taken time
+To put these words to music, I don't mind
+You seem to doubt my sincerity, I'm hoping that you see
+Just try to look much deeper, then you'll know just how I feel
+Will you try to understand, sometimes I may get out of hand
+But knowing that you're by my side
+==== JUST ONE DAY ====
+I'm not sorry, cuz I started growing and I'm pushing on
+And I know I cannot turn it back or turn away!
+So many feelings moving faster as I live from day to year
+It seems that now I live a lifetime - in a day
+(Chorus)
+Stand by my side, I know it's hard cuz we're afraid, I know I am
+Please understand, it's time to grow more than you know
+Just a part of the same old story, it seems so old
+But tell me why I can't take hold I can't explain!
+Words go through my head and I ache for ways to see
+I guess this madness is the answer - I'm afraid!
+(Chorus)
+This music from my heart, is it so different from before, it may seem so
+But it's just music from my heart
+Just! One! Day!
+==== > Praise (1987) ====
+==== PRAISE ====
+On the screen, so many people killing people
+Mass confrontation, it sets our tone
+And the reasoning is simple, we've got to prove our might some way
+Gotta flex our muscles, flex our macho pride
+We know to make this nation a better place, leave no in betweens, no middle ground,
+while power starved, good soldiers force the show
+And we congregate to kill, while the nation sings along
+A patriotic praise for decisions that are wrong - Praise!
+(Chorus)
+And I'm supposed to be proud, hold my head up high
+And act like I am worthy of respect I do not share
+Make judgments, condemnations, "We'll do the best we can"
+It's our nationalistic chance to silence fellow man - Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
+So we fight our wars to win, and we gain our self esteem
+And our young will see strong victories in history
+Whether backed by foreign guns or trained by U.S. sons
+We're dyin' for a cause and a place in time
+But are the answers somewhere distant, do we find them here at home
+Why can't we can the blame, allow for peace, not call out names,
+Say do you wanna die? I know I don't wanna die,
+To end it in their power design
+Praise!
+(Chorus)
+(Repeat chorus)
+It's your time to die, it's you right to die
+Demand it or see through it
+==== CATCHING ====
+Chastized for what we think, beliefs stand strong despite defeat
+Ridiculed for having our own views
+Forced to believe our thoughts are wrong, don't challenge old time ways
+To move in this world, you better take it slow
+(Chorus)
+I betcha seen, it framed but in a different way
+Unto this time, slow fade
+Such crazy dreams, don't let them be ignored
+To future days - It's catching
+"The uptight" says right is right, for them it may, for me it's not -
+Learn to be myself without their shine
+Hold on to things, antiquted things, that don't bend for the times
+Tradition, man, now can you read between the lines?
+(Chorus)
+I'm caught but lookin' up
+(break)
+Don't you be ignored, don't fade, don't fade!
+==== YOU LIVE AND DIE FOR FREEDOM ====
+Where do we find it in us, just to be so hard, to be so cold
+When humanity pits itself against, emotion, dignity, control
+And tortured for some reason, like for instance you had thoughts within
+To rise above in your life's, got you dying in some jail
+(Chorus)
+Does someone out there give a damn? Will anybody know?
+How long these crimes have carried on, where anything can go
+You're guilty of a crime of thinking, speaking for yourself
+And punishment was based upon a law that's long been shelved
+Your heart is good, your soul is free, but still you see no trial
+Attempts are made to break you all the while - Breakout!
+So many months you've had enough, you wonder if you're gonna die
+Inside some darkened prison where you do your best to stay alive
+Prisoner of conscience, all you did was fight for hope and light
+And now that fight for freedom's got you fighting for your life
+(Chorus)
+==== SIREN ====
+A world of constant need, what can I do to ease the pain
+Sometimes I think it's hopeless, I'm afraid
+Much hunger while there's many who can live the life in greed
+And then I wonder if we'll see another day
+(Chorus)
+And even though we try, we're satisfied, in all the things we've done
+We think that since we've done our part there's nothing wrong
+We can convince ourselves, that it's not here but somewhere else,
+But are we convinced enough to try and learn?
+What we need is close enough, but we push it away
+Too big or proud to let some love sink through
+Still hoping in a time when it's so cool to close our eyes
+I'm not convinced enough to think the world is through
+(Chorus)
+(break)
+I'm still hoping - Yes! Yes! Yes!
+Lookin' to love, let it be your guide
+Let it fill you, in spirt
+==== NOT ENOUGH TIME ====
+Seems so easy, you never bat an eye
+Conscience pulled a disappearing act
+And you look out in the world
+And ignore the troubles seen
+As along as it’s not down on you
+Why should you care?
+(Chorus)
+But it’s not easy, you should know
+And when it catches up to you, where will you go?
+You might find, that in your mind
+You simply don’t have time
+But no, you better wait, hey!
+So much older than the rest
+Where knowledge can’t be found
+Wise enough to help, but have you tried
+Cause if the war ain’t in your home
+Or this small land that you own
+There's just no point in knowing what’s outside your door
+(Chorus)
+Yet you gotta enough time waste upon yourself
+You better wait! No!
+Say small mind, hey little man, I see you hiding out
+Afraid of your own shadow, scared of everything
+And you can pretend the pain and anguish is just a myth
+So it’s what you can’t see in your little world
+==== > Ourselves (1988) ====
+==== ESCAPE AND RUN ====
+Still I couldn't find my way to sleep
+Lie still, awake, too much to think
+When will this sound inside my head
+Stop cuz it makes me cry
+Now I find I'm looking for something
+Some fact or clue that helps to bring
+A dizzy world, focused and straight
+This time I'm not feeling so
+This time I'm not feeling so
+This time I'm not feeling so great
+(Chorus)
+Escape and run keeps going through my head
+For what I face it seems I'm better dead
+Escape and run keeps going through my mind
+Instead of moving up I'm falling far behind
+In sleep this slow part fills my dream
+In black and white or so it seems
+I've seen myself fall down and die
+For in this dream I've lived a lie
+Down with me, breathe deep, plant your faith
+Look at the sky but don't you wait
+A hundred voices in the end
+This time I'm not feeling so...great
+(Chorus)
+==== FAR AWAY FRIENDS ====
+Hey man, I remember just a few
+short years ago
+Talked through letters, mutual interest
+We were always on the phone
+I have thought about you many times
+Even I didn't know
+Started crossing paths and sounds
+And how we understand the dreams that go-o
+(Chorus)
+And even now you can be here
+Though you're far away
+All the times you lifted me so high
+I can't forget
+And different faces, different scenes
+Still seems so far away
+But it's always great to be with you again
+Times have been so strange,
+so many people in and out
+Getting older in my age
+While these freedom thoughts stay young
+I can thank you for the inspiration and
+the honesty you gave
+And the times those feelings came to me
+During tough times where I thought
+of giving up, so
+(Chorus)
+==== THE SAVE OURSELVES ====
+I'd like to think when I am old
+At the very end and looking back,
+That I was there, a child of love
+A child of peace, against all war
+And now I face, so many pains,
+but one that sticks
+In heart, inside,
+A pain that comes from hatred,
+from, to and for
+Our human kind
+(Chorus)
+Stand with the others, don't be afraid
+To learn from each other, the life we make
+Spread to the masses, be black or white
+Be young or old
+Be woman, man or animal
+This story is so cold
+When men are monsters, killing, dying
+I will work myself for peace
+When times are shaded grey
+I still will find a way
+Together we can build it up
+A warmer, richer earth
+It's time to reach out any way
+And put back color where it's dark
+(Chorus)
+The save ourselves!
+==== IF I ABIDE ====
+Encouraged to speak, shown every sign
+Learned to never waste the time
+Taught to have an open...(mind)
+Why give me a heart, when you
+won't let it beat?
+And I'm not afraid, I've still got hope
+But now you tell me I belong
+Do I stay and sing this same old...(song)
+Why give me a key when you won't set me
+free?
+(Chorus)
+And you listen, to our song
+And you wonder, what's going on
+You say that growth's okay,
+but do it by the rules
+But if I abide how will I grow or learn?
+Is this one big lie or have we been misled?
+It's time to practice what we preach
+It's time to move ahead
+Now I've lived awhile
+Not much I haven't tried
+But tell me what to do and you'll see
+how high I can fly
+Why give me the space
+When you won't let me breathe?
+It's time to make things fresh
+Bring in the new
+Put our minds together
+And see beyond this tunnel view
+Why give me two eyes when you won't let me
+see?
+(Chorus)
+==== WISH I COULD HELP ====
+Again we stand so silent
+Act like things are oh so great
+In love with thinking that we've ended racial
+Motivated hate
+But the truth is clear, just look around
+It's worse than it was before
+When another peace march triggers thought
+A perfect reason we must raise war
+(Chorus)
+Erase this
+Begin to open up your narrow mind
+I wish I could help
+Dig it
+All the years you've been brainwashed
+I wish I could help
+See America so proud and bold
+Yet comin' out behind her voice
+Conditioning so harsh and strong
+That it smothers out what's left of choice
+Can ya think back to the sixties?
+Not much has changed it's stayed the same
+Seems like we blow our chances
+To learn from life each time
+(Chorus)
+You see it every day
+From prison, schools to the assembly line
+Another fans the flame
+Discrimination, segregation
+Comes from every side
+Which side of the fence do you stand on?
+Quick, choose your side
+When the wind blows, where do you fall?
+Tell us, if you can
+==== SLEEP ====
+(IN MEMORY OF ROBYN S. SCHUMACHER)
+==== SISTER ====
+Please believe me, I'm on your side
+Though I know I can't feel what you do
+Can't see what you see
+But my respect and love is deeper than you'll
+ever really know
+And I know it may be hard for me
+to ever really show
+What's here inside
+(Chorus)
+Friend, sister, see through hungry times we
+see the most
+You're my family, I thank you for
+the time you chose
+To be part of my life
+You help me fight against the pain
+I'll see you on the other side
+It never matters even when it's strained
+Together we can make the world seem like the
+place it could be
+And though the hate and anger come and goes
+We'll walk along this road
+Down a path where walls fall over
+And fall down upon our heads and wakes again
+(Chorus)
+We gotta cross this crazy bridge again, yeah
+(Chorus)
+==== MIDDLEGROUND ====
+All my days in so many ways I've seen it
+This prejudice I've seen it twist and turn
+I've cried at thoughts of not bein'
+able to stop it
+And now I ache away for it's here
+so strong today
+(Chorus)
+What are you organizing for,
+put up another door
+Just stop and look around, say you must see
+The blindness we have here
+You say you've heard it all before
+And you'll hear it again
+Just go ahead and close us off
+But you'll still feel the pain that you create
+Our peace comes from within and
+I think war does too
+Believe in love and you'll get what is due
+Skin, yellow, red, brown, black and white
+Can't stop to see that no, no
+Only single hearts and minds inside our heads
+(Chorus)
+O Gandhi, when you look at us
+does your heart ache?
+How could you think that peace in
+this world has a place?
+"Well, I believe in peace not pride or race
+To set our future days, future ways
+And I can only hope we don't keep blowin' it all
+away"
+(Chorus)
+==== WHEN ONE FALLS ====
+Look at all the good things in this life
+That you have got
+You got security and comfort
+With a roof above your head
+Yet you may find it easy
+To sit back and complain
+I know I've done it many times
+When I've felt no pain
+(Chorus)
+But what is right
+If we can't look around and face the facts
+Just go through life without a
+conscience or a care
+It seems it's dog eat dog
+'Til you're the one they're all looking to bite
+Convinced that you're so justified
+But what is right, what's justified
+Now things are getting clearer
+Day by day this feeling's strong
+And as we take a step
+It's hard to get along
+And just when I think it's over
+Oh, I feel that drive begin
+Cuz it's not what I take
+But what I must put in
+In my life
+(Chorus)
+And as the story's told
+The problem's harsh and cold
+We've got to end it
+With warmth inside the heart
+And knowledge that's a start
+We've got to end it, yeah
+Push for change, why help suppress it?
+Realize you're not alone
+Honor life, why help regress it?
+Can't you see it starts at home?
+(Chorus)
+==== SOME SORT OF BALANCE ====
+When will we find a balance
+Such unfair things we see
+Small troubled nations crumble
+And freedom falls from dust to dust
+Remember people are just flesh and bone
+And blood and tears and soul
+Where the past's led us to the present
+Where the future will unfold
+(Chorus)
+And I have some ideas, though I realize
+I might be blind
+I ask so many questions
+I keep leaving thoughts behind
+Still searchin' ain't like wasting time
+At least there is this bottom line
+We need to find some sort of balance
+Along the way
+Until they see the way it's meant to be on this
+lonesome soil
+I think it might take a while
+The answers wait unanswered while we're
+Too scared to lift our heads
+War justifies some feelings
+Helps us find a taste for blood
+I think the "enemy" is anyone
+Who has the guts to say
+That nothing's wrong
+That things are fine
+That there's no reason to complain
+(Chorus)
+I think it might take a while
+But it's always free
+==== SEVEN YEARS ====
+See those kids, so young and free
+"I guess that's how it useta be"
+So caught up in themselves, they just don't see
+But "standing hard" gives us this right
+To put up walls and to prove our might
+And faster, faster must the music go
+(Chorus)
+Farewell to seven years
+We bid a fond so long
+To seven years
+Why'd it take so long?
+They're waitin' for old times again
+If they support, they'll understand
+Our message calls for unity not rage
+We see so many ways
+To vent the anger in our troubled hearts
+Without using it to smash up someone else
+(Chorus)
+And it takes so long
+==== > Soulforce Revolution (1989) ====
+==== SATYAGRAHA ====
+There's something in the air, y'know we breathe it every day
+A hatred twisting deeper, razor sharp it cuts its way
+A poison we're to swallow, I tried it once, I didn't like the taste
+Say Mother Earth I love you, as I watch you go to waste
+And we'll sing...
+(Chorus)
+Na-na-na-na-na-na-na, hey! What happened to tryin'?
+Na-na-na-na-na-na-na, hey!
+Tumblin' down, fired up, fire away! (2X)
+I'm scared cuz I still have so many visions in my head
+Bandwagon jumping's easy when you fear the dream is dead
+We're judged by what we look like, how we think and who we are
+Hey Mother Earth we hear you but we don't know where to start...
+(Chorus)
+(Break)
+Na-na-na-na-na, Satya-graha (3X)
+I wait for you to tell me when we'll reach the finish line
+I wash my hands of this hate, I won't embrace this thing so blind
+A soul force revolution, it could give us what we need
+Destruction ain't no option, it's the end at any speed
+(Chorus)
+Come on now!
+Push! Pull! Push! Pull!
+==== BUSY LITTLE PEOPLE ====
+So many busy little people, running scared and piled high
+So deep in their corruption, that they can't see eye to eye
+From the weight of understanding, to the courage in their lies
+Knowing what they view as love, I think I'll pass, just walk on by
+(Chorus)
+Take pride in acting cruel your pride has got you fooled
+You're off and running (2X)
+I watch the way some people get theirs
+It's like the earth has dried away
+Respect for anybody's hard to find out there today
+There's no discount for our freedom, put your markdown gun away
+If I ever feel I need some help, I'll find my own price to pay
+(Chorus)
+In your life, you'll find no difference...
+Makes the weight of the world grow around your shoulders!
+Wo-oh! (4X)
+(Repeat 2nd verse)
+(Chorus)
+==== I CAN SYMPATHIZE ====
+There's a million things to tell you but the words get in my way
+Coming here, I stand before you, with not one single thing to say
+You're the one that keeps me hopeful when my life has gone astray
+You're the kickdrum to my heartbeat, you're the words that I can say
+(Chorus)
+Do you think I'm laughing, you know, you don't realize
+That when it comes to dealing with me, you know
+I can sympathize
+Sometimes I feel like I'm your struggle, don't wanna be a time you've tried
+I'd rather be your never-ending, I'd rather be your deep inside
+When you cry I wish I could be, a salty tear running from your eye
+I wish you'd swallow me, so I could be
+So much closer to your soul
+(Chorus)
+(Break)
+(Chorus)
+==== IT ALL MAKES ALOT LESS SENSE NOW ====
+All that wraps around me, fills and breeds itself inside me
+Heart is pumping wasted years away
+It really doesn't mean that much to me
+Called out near the river, it ran as deep as you could see
+I felt alone and strange like many times
+My hand so still, it reached the sky
+(Chorus)
+I wrote this in a notebook and I censored out the best
+I said I'll wish and wait and rest
+I said I'll hope you'll wait and rest, and
+I hope that there's more time for me than this
+My family stands beside me, figured maybe there was truth to find
+My girl she holds my hand but I can tell she wants to jump inside
+Daylight faded quickly and the cold breeze never died
+We drank some water from the stream
+And then we hugged and sang and cried
+(Chorus)
+It will make sense... just have patience
+It all makes sense... just have patience
+Sometimes life can pull a fast one on ya...
+And sometimes you really dig it when it does (2X)
+Daylight faded quickly...
+(Chorus)
+All along, the time, this feeble industry
+Let's over ride, your red cent, every band goes into debt
+I know the kind, cuz I got it on this page
+Let's break apart, let's break it free
+Let's break apart, do it for me
+Let's break apart, goddamn this sound
+Let's inside out and upside down
+==== MOTHER'S DAY ====
+Hold my hand and listen close, hey Ma, I just want you to know
+That I love you and I hope that you feel fine
+For all the years, alone you raised us, thru lonely nights and
+Troubled days
+You took the time, you really held the light
+(Chorus)
+And these hard times, you are always in our minds
+These hard times, in a world so damned insane
+You are shelter from the pain, it's been a long ride
+We were taught to think, helped made aware
+Ma, the credit goes to you, I swear
+Encouraged to form opinions of our own
+You kept us healthy, warm and then
+You gave us brighter days ahead
+We knew someday, we'd look back and we'd smile
+(Chorus)
+(Break)
+(Chorus)
+==== TRIBUTE FREEDOM LANDSCAPE ====
+You tell me you're beaten, in search of a way
+To know when to leave and to know when to stay
+Here, people accept all the smart lies, confined
+Forget all that nonsense, let's leave it behind
+(Chorus)
+I saw it and I see it, keeps getting closer yet
+This Freedom Landscape fades, oh
+To hold it, don't mold it, just place it on your heart
+This Freedom Landscape fades
+This is my tribute to you my dear one
+Do you feel your skin burn while you pray to the sun
+I know there's a reason we scream on the phone
+I'd rather stand off than to stand here alone
+(Chorus)
+(Break)
+Some houses feel warm, oh so good, I can see
+What's looming ahead in the future for me
+And hands make great comfort but will they be here
+When I'm reaching, waiting, as trouble comes near
+I will wait and if you give a sign
+I'll hold on until the end of time
+(Chorus 2X)
+==== COPPER LEDGE ====
+Here we sit like we have many times, familiar feeling
+Hear the change of thousands pouring in
+Yea, dealers, bosses, white and black, there's eyes that watch us over
+If there is a hell, this must be it
+(Chorus)
+Hope is all you started with, you've seen as you walk in
+Doubtful they could be your friends
+A game you can depend on, this wicked thing is sin
+It's ugly when you reach the end
+The time is nonexistent, stranger people stay insistent
+You may win but do you win a thing?
+Old hands now black from filthy money
+Tickets from the pawn shops
+Back tomorrow, does this make much sense?
+(Chorus)
+(Break)
+This town means nothing, this town will never grow
+This town's a ghost town, you really outta know
+Wheels spin, the sounds of ringing, pain inside my head
+I think it's better just to find the edge
+It's safe up here, I'm staying, I'd rather watch some other's fail
+Like a king up on this Copper Ledge
+==== TICKETS TO A BETTER PLACE ====
+A thousand books remind us, how the world drags on and on and on
+We've read those books but we don't grasp the meaning
+See between the lines
+Part truth, part tilted fiction, documents of endless history
+Predictions for the future, armeggedon seems to suit you
+(Chorus)
+Don't wanna die, now do we? We're running in a desperate race
+Don't wanna die, now do we? Just take us to a better place
+You're thinkin' funny things when you look over, see me standing here
+With words of hope, guess you could say, I'm looking for a brighter day
+Don't ask me for a reason, I can't tell you what you want to hear
+If all you do is criticize, you don't seem to realize
+(Chorus)
+(Repeat 1st verse)
+(Chorus)
+==== 4 A.M. IN TEXAS ====
+Maybe I'm just dreaming, I start before I sleep
+Stockpile of scenes, 5 miles high, and deep as they are surely wide
+Like a charge of some electric buzz, it comes crashing down inside
+(Chorus)
+Will I... daydream tomorrow? Stay awake with me
+Will I... be there tomorrow? Stay awake with me
+I've got my goals before me, and at night they seem to fade
+And you might think it's crazy
+When I say I'd like to make a difference in this band
+Those doubts can only hurt now, with my head down in the sand
+(Chorus)
+(Break)
+It might be 4 A.M. in Texas, but I'm still dreamin' wide awake
+It's 4 A.M. in Texas, this thinking's growing in my head
+It's 4 A.M. in Texas, and I'm on the phone and you're not home
+It's 4 A.M. in Texas, Texas!
+==== SOUL TO KEEP (FOR PHYLLIS) ====
+I woke up from a dream, I could have sworn I heard the phone
+Fan's blowing in the corner, like it does when she's at home
+Familiar desperate feeling, always cold and dark inside
+Y'know I'll probably sit here hoping soon that she'll be by my side
+(Chorus)
+Saw her smile, it chased the blues away
+Her warmth can make it all OK
+But it's one to go and one to stay, guess it has to be that way
+I've found my kindred spirit
+Now she's with me as I sleep
+And it's in her hands, up to her
+Where she'll put my soul to keep
+Out there in the hard world, try to blend into the day
+A thousand different faces stare, I try to look away
+But I can feel her move within me, and her voice is in my head
+Y'know, with that in mind, I seem to find, my way back home again
+(Chorus)
+==== SWANSONG ====
+It's ragin' in the whole of us, like firespots fresh from the sun
+This aggression's getting heavy, so close in, tune up everyone
+(Chorus)
+I'm hopin', and I'm walking and I heard you call my name
+There's still time to go, out alone
+But I feel so free, it seems to be that swansong in my head
+Hey it's 1989!
+I remember, standing on the roof, in New York, it was summertime
+Below the streets, fell thick in rage, we smiled than began to fight
+(Chorus)
+I'm walkin' and I'm talkin', but the truth is up ahead
+Hey we're not to go, anywhere
+We're busy playin' games and still that swansong's in my head
+Hey it's time to fly south!
+It's a sure time, when it's your time
+Gotta feeling, and I'm reeling
+The sky is dark and you put your hand in mine
+There's some people at the corner, but I didn't know what to say
+If demands decide your fate
+The only thing to do is wait, and keep your spirits high
+Keep your spirits high, no, that ain't no lie, this
+Swansong has to end!
+==== > Out The Shizzy (1993) ====
+==== SHIZZY ====
+Hold out for the best one
+Dig in deep to
+Understand the routine
+Understand the problem
+Gotta shake foundations
+Need to shine reactions
+Only time will tell you
+All the things you'll go through
+(Chorus)
+And the world, is your world
+Will this feeling subside
+Time to take a ride through
+Different places, thresholds
+Can't be scared to try and
+Give a little
+Promise you'll feel better
+Any given moment
+There's a heart that's broken
+(Chorus)
+st verse again
+==== HIS WAY, GO AWAY ====
+Man's thrown all alone
+Wonders what he'll conquer
+Woman, she's the one
+Power's what she owns
+Didn't try, didn't hafta
+As man takes on the world
+Man makes the mistakes
+Blames it on his mother
+She laughs then she cries
+She plans, understands
+Watches as he falters
+Man starts every war
+(Chorus)
+And I wanna join
+Cuz I know who's side I'm on
+And I need to know
+What she thinks
+His greed in history
+His is so inflated
+His way, go away
+He learned young
+To be strong
+At least his version of it
+Man I'm so ashamed
+Uptight, might is right
+The proof is in the package
+Boys don't ever cry
+Sister teaches strong
+She's the pure creator
+She rules everything
+(Chorus)
+Break
+(Chorus)
+==== HAPPY RAIN ====
+A no-win situation
+It comes our way again
+We get up every morning
+Riding on the trains
+Why bother getting in one
+This time let's surf outside
+They'll call our parents crazy
+And say it's suicide
+This afternoon I ran into
+A group of kids from school
+The ones who play it dirty
+They'll play the biggest fools
+Tomorrow screaming headlines
+From the papers in the stands
+Will say it's just a new fad
+That's getting out of hand
+(Chorus)
+No faith in anything we do
+The city drizzles shame
+I wanna hug the moving cars
+And bathe in happy rain
+I haven't read the news
+But I hear rumours in my head
+Can't sleep with all the madness
+Guess I'll stay awake instead
+They'll bitch about what
+They can't change
+I think I'll just explode
+While waiting at the station
+You can feel the overload
+The way the rain comes down
+You know it always soaks my head
+The stink and dread around me
+Makes me wish that I was dead
+From time to time
+You'll hear about some kid
+And how he fell
+I hate to be so morbid
+Perhaps it's just as well
+(Chorus)
+==== FREE TO SPACE ====
+Have you noticed lately
+Or at any time at all
+These people running past you
+You might have a strong opinion
+But there's louder mouths around
+It doesn't have to phase you
+(Chorus)
+Cuz we're free to seize
+Or ignore completely
+We're free to space
+Or face the music
+Your need to be excepted
+Seems based around the myth
+That bigger's always better
+And a selfish twinge inside you
+Seems it's growing mighty quick
+Has got you on the downfall
+(Chorus)
+If all you want is surface
+Get a grip then
+Grab it quick before somebody else does
+Cuz time is pointless
+When it's wasted
+Time is what you're needing more of
+==== WEAK LINK ====
+Our house feels so surreal
+I never think about it
+So funny, now we see
+The times we spend without it
+False pride and the violence
+I've got a sour taste in (in my mouth)
+No wonder, we wander
+Kick back and tell another
+Kick back and tell another....
+(Chorus)
+...Story
+About our courage
+And we dismantle as usual
+Another weak link coming
+The music, it's purpose
+Not here to make ya hateful
+It's effect on the scene
+And the converted faithful
+We're not down with the hate
+How did you choose this label (convenience)
+We look back, it's been real
+Sit down and tell another
+Sit down and tell another
+(Chorus)
+And we still hear the crowd
+They want it fast and loud
+They wear the label proud
+Is that all you want
+You want it
+Then make the weak link strong
+==== REUBEN SAID ====
+Weird thing this morning
+I felt down and so
+I stepped back to see if
+The trouble would grow
+Ran til I just couldn't
+Breathe very well
+Needed a friend, needed someone to tell
+(Chorus)
+Reuben said
+I would see it
+Down the line
+He believed
+Reuben said
+I was ready
+Doublecrossed once again
+A grudge like a mother
+And then I said
+Everything I had
+Stored up inside my head
+Meant for this nightmare
+To end like a dream
+Wish it would sink in
+Wish I could see
+(Chorus)
+Break
+(Chorus)
+==== YET AGAIN ====
+Laughing always treat things lightly
+But you'd be the last to respect
+People's views and their directions
+Bring them down create more tension
+Try to strip away their passion
+But all you do is fuck yourself again
+(Chorus)
+And yet again
+If you'd only find your piece of mind
+Think you'd dig the things
+That you might find
+Tell me I can't comprehend your
+Advanced mind
+Know what you're feeling
+Try to paint from your perspective
+You seem to feel it's more effective
+But really all you do is create
+Extra space reserved for hate again
+(Chorus)
+Too bad you're
+So damned selfish
+Taking what you'd never give
+And leaving nothing
+Leaving trouble
+Schism, pain
+All bad, whatever
+The same old thing
+With no progression
+Based in greed
+And bad intentions
+You're leaving nothing
+Leaving pain
+So hard to understand your way
+(Chorus)
+==== G ====
+Say you're fed up
+You're so angry
+Found your way inside
+This vicious circle
+Now you can't stop
+Tried to tell you,
+Gave you warning
+But your stubbornness is king
+(Chorus)
+That's why, it goes on
+Repeat, on and on
+That's why, it goes on
+Repeat, on and on
+Hope might save you
+What you go through
+But it takes a bit
+Of tolerance and
+Selflessness
+I'm your friend, yeah
+Here to listen
+But I got limitations too
+(Chorus)
+So sick of all that's going on
+Now what ya wanna do
+The action's what we're graded on
+Cuz talk is so see-thru
+(Chorus)
+So sick of all.....
+==== WIDESPREAD ====
+And when we talked
+It was decided
+That something had to be
+The guessing went too long
+Couldn't just carry on
+We worked it out
+Til it felt alright
+And everybody knew we had to
+Break off a little piece
+Sometimes it makes me mad
+At times, a little sad
+But it didn't mean too much
+(Chorus)
+If something is missing
+I'm sure we'll find out
+We'll get together
+There is no doubt
+Something is draining
+All our time today
+Let's get together - hey yeah
+Our expectations
+Build so quickly
+Let's not
+And say we do
+There's gotta be a way
+Some place where we could stay
+And find a little piece of mind
+This common goal
+Seems widespread too bad
+Our talking's meaningless
+We're out here in the rain
+The scenery's the same
+And ally's gotta work again
+(chorus)
+==== MOTIONARY ====
+And all this time when
+We believed we'd change the world some day
+There is nothing else
+I would rather do
+And all the time I
+Screamed and cried and
+Whithered deep in pain
+There was nothing else
+I could say to you
+(Chorus)
+Go easy now my friend
+You'd better think straight
+Your everlasting dreams might fade away
+You're waiting for the chance
+To slow down and catch your breath
+This motion is the thing that we like best
+Yeah, I'm your dreamer
+And your believer
+The one you've come to mother
+Find the road you want
+Don't let me slow ya down
+And while you're rubbing up against
+The ones that talk the loudest
+Try to be somebody
+Try to be yourself
+(Chorus)
+Break
+(Chorus)
+==== NAKED ====
+Come on down
+Come closer
+Want you in a fisheye view
+Something tells me
+We finally connected
+And I'm ready to give
+This one a new try
+I'm ready to
+Get off on another side
+(Chorus)
+We're naked
+Peel the skin away
+Huddled up inside an embrace
+Let's get fired
+Let the sun inside your head
+I love the breeze
+That hits my face
+Feel so strong
+So ready
+Are you sleeping while you walk
+Lie down
+And see how deep we get together
+You seem to think
+I've got some kind of master plan
+I think I'm going insane
+Slowly
+(Chorus)
+Break
+(Chorus)
+==== NATE ====
+==== SOME KIND OF SIGN ====
+Hey we've got this brand new song
+It might not be your favorite
+I came to you to get advice
+You laughed alot you did your best
+My dreams are kinda fucked up lately
+My dreams aren't really dreams
+My dreams they almost fade out
+Sometimes dreams are what they seem
+(Chorus)
+And half the time
+I'm waiting, I'm waiting
+For some kinda, some kinda sign
+And all day long
+I'm hoping, I'm praying
+Just stop me from being so blind
+Since I got back into town
+I know I'm not your favorite
+And everybody hangs out here
+No life to live and nothing's clear
+My girlfriend loves all things about me
+At least that's what she says
+My girlfriend lies a tiny bit
+But it really all depends
+(Chorus)
+st verse again
+(Chorus)
+==== > The Music, The Message (1995) ====
+==== GHOST ====
+(Chorus)
+Let's do it for the frustration
+Aggravation, masturbation
+Let's do it for the attention
+Fascination, education
+Alright then, let's forget our troubles
+Start over, act like nothing's wrong
+So great at piecing bits together
+Pretend that everything is strong
+(Chorus)
+I like to listen to your stories
+You're good at listening to mine
+Sometimes we spend our lives just talking
+Become so good at wasting time
+(Chorus)
+(Break)
+(Chorus)
+SUCH & SUCH
+Talk about the past as if you own a piece of it
+Rattle off the words as though you ever gave a shit
+Yeah, you're the king, you always get around the truth
+You spend your life, you talk of how you lost your youth
+(Chorus)
+Now the secret's out, got you figured out
+What you're all about, ain't much
+You're still droppin' names, think you'll always be the same
+Always cryin' such and such
+Somehow you got lucky, found yourself an audience
+They hang on to your every word, it doesn't make much sense
+You're wasting time, it seems you'd change a thing or two
+But you remind me that you're only being you
+(Chorus)
+(Break)
+Don't bother trying
+Too busy lyin'
+Your mom is cryin'
+I like your band alot
+==== THE MUSIC, THE MESSAGE ====
+I never had to think about it all that much
+It came to me so easily, then it became a crutch
+I took it all for granted, figured it would always be
+So solid, set, dependable, and always there for me
+(Chorus)
+So much a part of us, so much a part of it
+We got the music, and the message
+So much a part of you, so much a part of me
+We never cared when all those people criticized
+We had no problems spotting, what was real and what were lies
+Despite the changes that we went through, we were always down
+You gotta stand the strongest when dissention's all around
+(Chorus)
+(guitar break)
+(Chorus twice)
+==== KINDA FUTURE ====
+Out of the blue, could we ever really know?
+Sometimes ya need to, sit back and let it go
+Day after day, I feel the tension pull me down
+I'm starting to figure, I won't always be around
+(Chorus)
+Don't you wish some day you wouldn't have that fear?
+No hate to see and there's no hate to hear
+You always said, that you'd work toward better things
+Doin' whatever, maybe all that work would bring
+It's good to be hopeful, when your eyes are open wide
+As long as ya feel, so twisted up inside
+(Chorus)
+==== MY GRAVITY ====
+(Chorus)
+She's the world to me
+In all honesty
+Yeah she's my gravity
+She's my gravity
+I wasn't ready for it this time
+And soon I found myself crossing the line
+Yeah it was easy, I didn't have to try
+We somehow got together, her and I
+(Chorus)
+There are those days, I can't hold up my head
+I can't get started, I can't get out of bed
+And then I see her face, it changes everything
+She's really down, yeah, she's so happening
+(Chorus twice)
+==== SEE YOU TOMORROW ====
+First off, I'm not doin' too bad
+Things could be much worse, for sure
+You're so full of nerve and yourself
+Pity someone who deserves
+Secondly, about your big plans
+Yeah I know, I've got em too
+It seems you need more motivation
+Little somethings get ya through
+(Chorus)
+I'll bet, we'll have this same discussion
+Ignore the warnings, repercussions
+When all sincerity rings hollow
+See you sometime, see you tomorrow
+Things are easy when you're younger
+Puppy brains and punching things
+But now we walk around so careful
+Fearful of the ugly things
+Deep thoughts count when there's compassion
+What I've witnessed, I'm amazed
+As we grow up, I'd hate to think that
+All this thinking's just a phase
+(Chorus)
+(guitar break)
+(Chorus)
+==== GET A DIFFERENT LIFE ====
+Don't you bother criticizing me and what I do
+Don't you waste your breath explaining what is bugging you
+Now run along and worry about your own life won't you please
+There are those who value what you say, but it ain't me
+(Chorus)
+We've heard it for the past 10 years, it's gotten really old
+You bitch about the way we sound, even how we're sold
+Did you ever take the time to look into a mirror
+If we suck, hey move along, there's other things to hear
+"Sellout" this and "sellout" that, at first it made us sore
+You called us that while we were sleeping on your girlfriend's floor
+We've made mistakes, some stupid ones, but "stayed true" to ourselves
+If you can't hang, don't sweat it, you can hang us on a shelf
+(Chorus twice)
+==== TALKBOX ====
+Hear the anger, turn and run
+Bitter rhetoric, ain't much fun
+I thought we could disagree
+Hear the words, then let it be
+Listen to another view
+Get a feel for something new
+(Chorus)
+But it's different than you think
+When all you do is dish out what you hate
+You ain't nothing but a fake
+You couldn't handle trouble that you make
+Entertainment's what you claim
+Harmless banter, that's so lame
+You're so good at dishing out
+But not good at the turnabout
+Cry when someone disses you
+Conspiracies are nothing new
+(Chorus)
+(guitar break)
+(Chorus)
+==== MY LIST ====
+Sometimes I feel affected, then all that disappears
+The rain and clouds above my head, then it all disappears
+(Chorus)
+I'd understand it, if I could grab it
+Another wish on my list
+One more day we made it through now, got my list (3x)
+One more time we made it through, yeah, got my list (3x)
+Some days I feel protected, then it just disappears
+We breathe as two but think as one, and it just disappears
+I'd understand it, if I could grab it, another wish on my list
+(Chorus)
+(bass break)
+==== FIRST YA TOLD US ====
+First ya told us, "express your mind"
+With no restrictions, no border lines
+So we just figured, we'd find our way
+Not push much into, the things you say
+(Chorus)
+Then you slammed the door on us
+And flaunted your authority
+Had hoped to see us fail
+Acted like we were the enemy
+But we're here, no we never died
+So sorry you wasted your time
+Why point a finger, at anyone
+Why look for reasons, when you've got none
+You'll never get it, still you pretend
+That you're above it all, my friend
+(Chorus 2x)
+==== BORN WITHOUT A MIND ====
+Too bad, I feel for you, it's sad as hell to see
+You're runnin' with the blinders on, just stay away from me
+You blame it on your parents, yeah, your strict conditioning
+So bogged down in the ignorance, you're bumping into things
+(Chorus)
+See the boy out running, born without a mind
+He's got his pride and everything, born without a mind
+Maybe you're not out and open with your fucked up views
+And you don't use the "n-word", that is something you refuse
+Intolerance that's quiet, makes it just as bad it seems
+It's one way or another, you can't have it in between
+(Chorus)
+(Break)
+(Chorus)
+==== PUNK ROCK TEETH ====
+Here we are, right back where we belong again
+And all our friends, they're old like us but that depends
+This aging thing, so over-rated when you think
+Don't matter much, as long as your heart won't give in
+(Chorus)
+Sometimes when I get sad, I think about my stupid dreams
+At times, I feel that all I've got to show for it is punk rock teeth
+These days, I'm standing back, reflecting on the things I see
+I'll be here when the others fade, yeah me and all my punk rock teeth
+Staring out, I'm lost and out of place without
+This simple thing, the way I live's what I'm about
+I can't complain, but I don't feel good out in the rain
+Let's celebrate, no time to waste it all on hate
+(Chorus)
+(Break)
+(Chorus)
+==== GIRL SONG ====
+Her world is where I've always lived... Wo-oh-oh
+She brought me here and gave me strenght... Wo-oh-oh
+She helped make sense of everything... Wo-oh-oh
+Helped keep me farther from the brink
+(Chorus)
+This is a girl song, not just another girl song
+Much more than just a love song, so simple, it's a girl song
+My father never seemed to care... Wo-oh-oh
+Looked for him, he was never there... Wo-oh-oh
+As "dad", my mom did pretty well... Wo-oh-oh
+She got us through a lot of hell
+(Chorus)
+(Break)
+(Chorus 2x)
+==== I CAN REMEMBER ====
+I can remember, the first time that we played
+Some redneck bar in Reno, guess we should've been afraid
+And after that, we'd play whenever we could plug it in
+We'd play until the cops or jocks would start some shit with Dim
+(Chorus)
+I can remember (4x)
+I can remember, the H.B. kids so well
+They'd bus to San Francisco, every gig with them was hell
+We'd dance along, and sing the songs, til we were black and blue
+And everything would go so fast, and there stood me and you
+(Chorus)
+(bass break)
+(Chorus 2x)
+==== EVEN BETTER PLAN ====
+It's not hard to understand
+Don't let things get out of hand
+Promises aren't very deep
+When you start trouble in your sleep
+(Chorus)
+We're not dumb, no, we're just stupid! (4x)
+Here's an even better plan
+Use your head and not your hands
+Try it for a solid week
+Be a "rebel", be unique
+(Chorus)
+(Break)
+(first verse again)
+(Chorus 4x)
+==== > Good To Go (1999) ====
+==== SOONER OR LATER ====
+Both of us too fucking stubborn
+Neither is willing to give just a little
+Ramming our heads into nothing
+Winning a war that is non existent
+(Chorus)
+Sooner or later will we work together
+Who knows!
+Or will we resign to the fact that it's
+Just how it goes?
+You're seeing things in your own way
+While I'm seeing things in the opposite
+And we think we're so fucking different
+Unwilling to buckle or deal with it
+(Chorus)
+(guitar break)
+(Chorus) 2x
+==== SOUR GRAPES ====
+You say you hate all those kids now
+You can't relate to the things they say to you
+You feel you've grown far beyond them
+You don't remember when you were like them
+(Chorus)
+And now you've grown up, you hate them
+A bad case of sour grapes? Who knows?
+You better get used to this picture
+Cuz there's way more kids waiting in the hall
+You don't remember the problems
+You just complain like your parents did at you
+You swore you'd never be like them
+But now that you've grown up you're ten times worse
+(Chorus)
+(break)
+(Chorus) 2x
+==== ONE BIG GUESSING GAME ====
+We're getting old, no big surprise
+You stress on it, and you despise
+The fact that someday we all die
+And daily we keep asking yourself why
+(Chorus)
+Just try and do your best
+It's all just one big guess
+And make the best of things
+You better make it last
+You're lazy, what's that all about?
+Try walking down some other route
+So many questions, too many doubts
+But you just let them take you down and out
+(Chorus)
+Wo-oh-oh-oh...
+(Chorus)
+==== BEST FRIEND ====
+Every day I find it kicking in
+I find that thing I need and then begin
+Inspired by a love that never ends
+I'm so glad that she is my best...
+(Chorus)
+...friend (4x)
+Sometimes I get so down and out, wo-oh!
+I wanna scream, I need to shout, wo-oh!
+But then the pieces start to mend
+With help and heart from my best...
+(Chorus)
+(first verse again)
+(Chorus)
+==== SLOW DOWN A SECOND ====
+Hey there mister
+You look at me and you want an answer
+You don't think about it
+You take a lot but you give back none
+High expectations
+It's give and take but you're never giving
+It's time to listen
+Why do you ignore what your friends are saying
+(Chorus)
+Wo-oh, slow down a second, hey what's your hurry?
+Wo-oh, take some time to get your head on straight
+Wo-oh, slow down a little, hey what's your worry?
+Wo-oh, before you regret it and it's too late
+So where is your fire?
+You run around like there's no tomorrow
+Stop this bullshit
+Enjoy the life that's in front of you
+Your new life is calling
+You've got your goals but you're never happy
+Wheels are spinning
+But now that rut is keeping you from moving
+(Chorus)
+(guitar break)
+(Chorus)
+==== SAFETY NET ====
+You live your life on the internet
+That's where you are day and night
+You talk your shit from behind that net
+Where you're safely out of sight
+(Chorus)
+I think it's bad, yeah it seems so sad
+Cuz now we hardly ever talk
+You try replacing the human face
+With the one living in a box
+Why don't you go to a real life show
+It's something that you won't regret
+You'd rather be on the IRC
+And stuck behind your safety net
+It shouldn't be so damn destructive
+Why not share some info, insight?
+You're way to caught up in the gossip
+You'd rather talk some shit every night
+(Chorus)
+==== CHANGE THE KEY ====
+I never bother anybody
+I stick to myself and keep my eyes set straight
+Won't be the one to bring you down
+Cuz I know it just wouldn't make me feel too great
+Some people crave too much drama
+Caused by someone something all for what?
+A psychological trauma
+Without a choice sometimes that's all you got
+(Chorus)
+Wo-oh-oh - change my ways, yeah I'm still trying
+Wo-oh-oh - it ain't easy, but I'm not crying
+Wo-oh-oh - change my plans and my direction
+wo-oh-oh - gotta change the key that makes this person me
+I've learned that patience is better
+I take a breath and count real slow to ten
+Why don't we try it together
+We'll make mistakes, get up and start again
+Don't feel a need to be violent
+I'm working with this rage inside of me
+And I will never be silenced
+I'll try and use this rage to set me free
+(Chorus)
+==== 4.1.4.1... DONE ====
+We don't have too much time now
+To say too many things
+Words all cramped up together
+We'll do our best to sing
+Wo-oh-oh-oh-wo-oh-oh-oh-oh!
+And now we're almost finished
+The end is coming soon
+Just one more verse and chorus
+But there is no more room
+Wo-oh-oh-oh-wo-oh-oh-oh-oh!
+==== MESSAGE FROM A FRIEND ====
+I said I'm not angry about it
+But you're not convinced of that fact
+You want to paint a depressing picture
+You think I'm down from the flack
+(Chorus)
+But let me make this loud and clear
+I hope you'll finally understand
+Cuz this is just a song
+Another message from a friend
+You're free to voice your opinion
+While I'm free to laugh in your face
+You can get along with no sense of humor
+You can't keep up with the pace
+(Chorus)
+(break)
+(Chorus)
+==== TRUE ROOTS SHOW ====
+You ask me if it feels the same, wo-oh-oh
+You wonder if it feels alright, wo-oh-oh
+I ask myself that every day, wo-oh-oh
+Sometimes I feel so far away
+(Chorus)
+I never will forget it, and I will not regret it
+years from this day forward, wo-oh
+I'll try to keep my head up, fall down but I'll still get up
+Forever deep inside me, wo-oh-oh-oh
+No matter what it's everybody's fight!
+You wanna know it compares, wo-oh-oh
+This old school-new school stuff who cares?
+Wo-oh-oh
+It's great to let your true roots show, wo-oh-oh
+You have to let those true roots grow
+(Chorus)
+==== THIS WORLD OF MINE ====
+-2, 1-2-3-4!
+No matter what you say
+No matter what you do
+It makes no difference at all to me
+You do all that you can
+To grab the upperhand
+But it won't make me change the way I feel
+(Chorus)
+In this world of mine
+There is room for change
+But I'll still keep my history
+In this world of mine
+I will take the time
+To strip away the mystery
+-2, 1-2-3-4!
+I'm happy where I stand
+Things are looking up again
+I'll enjoy it while I can before it ends
+And you'll keep on being mad
+Talk of all the things you've had
+Maybe some day you will get them again
+(Chorus) 2x
+==== YOU SEE THE FLAWS ====
+I'm sure I'll be here tomorrow
+I really have no doubt
+I'll live for today, find a better way
+Somehow I'll work it out
+I've contemplated the future
+No, it's no simple thing
+But I can't waste time predicting
+What the future's gonna bring
+(Chorus)
+I know you find it hard to understand, wo-oh
+You see the flaws all throughout my plans, wo-oh
+I know it seems kind of strange to you, wo-oh
+But it's the way I have to see it through, wo-oh
+You wanna forecast the outcome
+And what it means to you
+Aware of that something you can't touch
+And that something's haunting you
+I know you're worried, somehow in a hurry
+But why not try instead
+To work on what's in the present
+Before you end up dead
+(Chorus)
+(break)
+(Chorus)
+==== I SEE YOU FOUND ANOTHER TROPHY ====
+I watched you while you walked with her
+Made sure she played her part, demure
+She couldn't get a word in around you
+You ask her where she's going to
+And who she's spent time talking to
+But you don't care what she's been going through
+(Chorus)
+Another trophy, tough guy!
+Someone to bully, tough guy!
+Now won't you hurry up, and die soon?
+Your latest conquest, she's nothing more
+Your part-time punching bag and whore
+She knows her place and stays there, around you
+Surprised you even know her name
+You treat your women all the same
+Consistent in the pain you put them through
+(Chorus)
+==== GOOD TO GO ====
+GO!
+Seems like the dark clouds have faded
+And all that frustration is gone
+I waited and waited for something
+(Chorus)
+Now I know that I'm good to go
+I can move far ahead
+With this weight lifted off of me
+I can get out of bed
+Go!
+Days that feel so thick and heavy
+They'll always come and they'll go
+It's best to get up and get something done
+Even if things start up slow
+(Chorus) 2x
+==== NEVER TRY ====
+Always complaining
+It's something to do
+Constantly crying
+About the way life's treating you
+The routine is so ugly
+So boring and old
+Compared to some others
+At least you're not out in the cold
+(Chorus)
+I could tell you that I care
+And that I truly understand
+But that would only be a lie
+I could wipe away the stain
+Pretend that I can ease your pain
+But that would only be a lie
+You're selfish and silly
+Despite all that hype
+Forever bitching
+Yeah, there's no doubt you've got a gripe
+You're mad and defensive
+You're looking to blame
+Whoever is near you
+It's always the same
+(Chorus)
+(guitar break)
+(1st verse again)
+(Chorus) 2x
+==== HERE WE GO AGAIN KIDS ====
+It's been awhile
+And so much has happened
+The family has grown
+A chapter's been added
+And here we are
+It's so great to see
+We're on another mission, you and me
+(Chorus)
+Still, after all the craziness we've seen
+Still here we are trying to realize our dreams
+We start up again and we'll just keep moving on
+Here we go again, let's sing along
+We got through some bullshit
+And took care of business
+We worked through some problems
+And stripped off the excess
+And here we are
+And we're standing face to face
+At the starting line of this new fucking race
+(Chorus)
+Here we go, here we go kids, time to help us sing along
+Here we go, here we go kids, can you make it loud and strong?
+==== > Take It Back, Take It On, Take It Over (2004) ====
+==== ALL CAME UNDONE ====
+It's a whole other story
+Is there time, can I tell?
+Just another adventure
+Will the end be the same?
+(Chorus)
+, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, none
+Thought it all came together
+But it all came undone
+, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5
+What with all that I've done
+I'm just glad I'm alive
+Maybe there is no answer
+And it pains me to think
+Maybe it doesn't matter
+In the world's grander scheme
+(Chorus)
+(guitar break)
+(Chorus)
+==== MEANT TO BE MY OWN ====
+I always thought the world revolved around me
+And every word I said was listened to
+How you could underestimate my promise
+How could you really ever doubt my truth
+(Chorus)
+First to take it, last to give in
+Step aside, do you think I'm playing?
+Believe this world was meant to be my own
+Go for broke and stop for nothing
+Move along, did you hear what I said?
+Believe this world was meant to be my own
+You know my parents they raised me to be happy
+They always gave me everything I craved
+They never let the ugly things affect me
+They always made the bad things go away
+(Chorus)
+(guitar break)
+(Chorus)
+==== THIS IS TEMPORARY ====
+The troubles have fallen around me
+And nobody seems to respond
+What will I take from this situation?
+What will work when my goals are all gone?
+(Chorus)
+I believe this is temporary
+It won't last forever, it's alright
+I have faced bigger challenges
+And bigger setbacks in my life
+I believe this is temporary
+It won't last forever, it's alright
+I have faced bigger challenges
+And bigger setbacks in my life
+A kneejerk reaction is waiting
+For any who dare to oppose
+Talk of war, always praised, conversations
+Quickly turn closest friends into foes
+(Chorus)
+==== MY BAND, OUR CREW ====
+I think our thing is good
+Not everybody should
+Made some choices, stuck with them
+Have never regretted
+Not one single moment, not one single minute
+Worked hard to find our way
+Fought just to have our say
+And we have you to thank for the years of support
+From deep in my heart I will never forget this
+(Chorus)
+I sing this song for you
+This one goes out to my band and to our crew
+No better thing to do
+I give it up to my band and to our crew
+I sing this song for you
+This one goes out to my band and to our crew
+No better thing to do
+I give it up to my band and to our crew
+It's been a long, long time
+Looks like it's turned out fine
+When we made the decision
+To follow our vision
+Would it have been better
+To bend under pressure?
+I'm glad we stuck it out
+Survived the floods and drought
+You might not understand
+I'm not sure that you can
+It's a family, a band
+Hope it all never ends
+(Chorus)
+(guitar break)
+(Chorus)
+==== STILL ON IT ====
+I just can't stand around and play along like good dogs do
+Cuz when I live the lie I know my time here is all through
+We all try cutting corners, yeah we all prefer the ease
+But I can't see above the fray when I'm down on my knees
+(Chorus)
+Don't worry, I'm still on it, on it
+Still strong and on it, on it
+This song goes on and on and on
+Don't worry, I'm still on it, on it
+Still strong and on it, on it
+This song goes on and on and on
+I won't pretend to be some hardcore tough guy cuz I'm not
+But my strength comes from what's inside, my heart is all I've got
+It may not be too thug-like and I may not win the fight
+At least I'll know I've done my best and what I thought was right
+(Chorus)
+(Break)
+(Chorus)
+==== SAY MY THANKS ====
+Yeah, I'm glad that I came up when I did
+Had no choice, but to stay underground
+This band helped me get through all the bullshit
+Without music would I be around?
+(Chorus)
+Say my thanks and be on my way
+I gotta feel it, hear it today
+When I look back, does it bother me
+I'll never let it get in my way
+Say my thanks and be on my way
+I gotta feel it, hear it today
+When I look back, does it bother me
+I'll never let it get in my way
+Well, we mentioned the music, the message
+What's it mean, is it different for you?
+Do you hold it inside, keep it secret
+Does it just give you something to do?
+(Chorus)
+==== BIG FALL ====
+You're really down, you've hit the skids
+You never seem to get ahead
+You blame us all, for your big fall
+You're pointing fingers everywhere
+But you don't care, you never cared
+You could hardly give a fuck
+You drain the life, you always try
+To take away the good things...
+(Chorus)
+Before you take it all, I gotta keep some for myself
+Before you take it all, I gotta keep some for myself
+You've always been, so selfish and
+You never care who it affects
+Impossible, oblivious
+You're so obnoxious, so direct
+You're never scared, you always get
+Exactly everything you need
+Out of control, you've got no soul
+It's really greed that fuels you...
+(Chorus)
+==== STAND HERE AND JUST STARE ====
+Look into the mirror
+Do I like my own reflection
+Not the way my face is looking
+But the motives for my actions
+I can con my friends and family
+But the truth is ever-lurking
+Gotta face myself forever
+My decisions, my endeavors
+(Chorus)
+In another world I could run away
+Not worry, not care
+Not bother, not dare
+I could stand here and just stare
+And when I'm interacting
+Am I sincere, am I humble
+Do I take the time to reason
+Lend a hand when someone stumbles
+I can sing these songs, be happy
+But the sadness always lingers
+Find the passion that will feed me
+Can I grab it with my fingers
+(Chorus)
+(breakdown)
+(Chorus)
+==== WHERE IS THE DANGER? ====
+All of the promise but minus the knowledge
+Why bother now that they teach punk rock in college
+Co-opted culture, misguided intention
+Hardcore's extinction almost guaranteed
+So gifted and smart, everyone looks so pretty
+But where is the danger in hot topic city?
+Most of them never get past what's on TV
+This demographic has a new obsession
+This demographic thinks the singer's cute
+This demographic doesn't have a fucking clue
+(Chorus)
+You say I'm bitter, I'm just jealous
+I just resent my lack of success
+Why should I even care about this?
+Why don't I give it up, accept this?
+A shitload of talent, but there is no deep end
+Forget about passion, there's none in the bloodstream
+Follow a band, what's the point, what's the meaning
+Why does everybody fucking sound the same
+They played 15 shows now they're signed to a label
+See them look sexy on magazine covers
+Make-up applied and they're all photo-friendly
+This record label has the perfect roster
+This record label has a formula
+This record label made you an instant millionaire
+(Chorus)
+==== BIG HARDCORE MYSTERY ====
+The other day we talked so long
+About our history
+And all that had gone wrong
+Big hardcore mystery
+And images I keep
+So vivid, buried deep
+Of days and years gone by
+There is no reason why
+(Chorus)
+A new day, a new time
+Why don't we let the kids give it a try
+A new way, a new plan
+Why should we get
+What we don't understand
+Let all accomplishments speak loud
+Why shouldn't we feel proud
+A lot has happened since
+Big hardcore influence
+Some even tried to steal the name
+But it was not the same
+If our best days are behind
+Let's hope some kids will find...
+(Chorus)
+(guitar break)
+(chorus)
+==== PANIC ATTACK ====
+I thought it was over
+I thought I was dying
+Told myself I could get past the depression
+There was no water
+Yet I was still drowning
+Head full of cotton
+No, nothing was working
+(Chorus)
+A part of me that never goes away
+I feel it's presence every single day
+Someday I'll find a way to break free from anxiety
+I've had this on my back for years
+This dread I'm feeling, dread I fear
+I'll figure out a way to break free from anxiety
+So dizzy, unfocused
+I had trouble breathing
+Afraid all alone and to be around others
+The pain seemed so real
+But it's hard to fathom
+It's not in my body, it's all fucking mental
+(Chorus)
+No time for the mind to wander
+Won't cave into the weight I'm under
+Small steps but I'm moving forward
+(Chorus)
+==== OUR CORE ====
+Will someone make it happen
+Take time and work it out
+Will people stand together
+Who's gonna be the next to rise up, spread the message
+Spread the word?
+Somebody's got an answer
+Someone will found a way
+Who'll make the comeback record
+Who's going to be the one to make it all as great as it once was?
+(Chorus)
+Don't you tell me I'm being nostalgic
+I'm not looking to go back in time
+Take it back, take it on, take it over
+Nothing more, just our core, re-defined
+Somebody call somebody
+Get busy, do it now
+Don't wait another second
+No stroke of luck or miracle is really gonna help us now
+Forget about the fashion
+Forget about the fame
+Remember why we do this
+Why waste your efforts on the things that mean
+The least in this whole world?
+(Chorus)
+==== BREAKING NEWS ====
+(Chorus)
+We got the green light
+Nothing's in the way
+The TVs on and the bombing starts today
+We got the green light
+Nothing's in the way
+The TVs on and the bombing starts today
+Sitting here but it isn't clear
+Does it make much sense to you?
+Once again pounded in our heads
+And there's nothing we can do
+Images of a hundred things
+Neatly edited and sold
+Tried to find just one ounce of truth
+And it's ass out, in the cold
+(Chorus)
+Talking heads, tell a story
+See if we can catch the spin
+So good at painting pictures
+When will this shit ever end?
+A curve is thrown by a source, unknown
+Journalism at it's worst
+A race to see who makes history
+And who will make it first
+(Chorus)
+==== ONE FRIEND TOO MANY ====
+Another deal is done
+I hope you get the things that you most wanted
+A price that we all pay
+Don't try and act like you are not the reason
+I'm almost glad it's happened
+Happy that you're gone, that you crossed over
+We're better off this way
+We never were that tight, you've never been my brother
+(Chorus)
+You're just one friend that I never had in the first place
+One friend that I'll just consider a waste
+One friend too many, to make it healthy
+One friend too many, too many for me
+The change was bound to come
+You gave yourself away with all your signs and symbols
+To each his own I say
+It doesn't mean I have to like what I see
+You say "no damage done"
+You find the right wing really does it for you
+You're having way more fun
+Your fucked up attitude is working for you
+(Chorus)
+We can both co-exist in the same world
+Put distance in between us
+Truce on, what do you say?
+We're better off this way
+(Chorus)
+==== Y.P.H. ====
+Please give me a second of your time
+I'm not going to preach or place the blame on anyone
+I hope you know how grateful that I am to you
+So many have stay long, carried on
+The others have given up the life, hey that's OK
+Cuz here we are, we're here for good, we're here to stay
+(Chorus)
+This is your parent's, this is your parent's
+This is your parent's hardcore! Hardcore!
+This is your parent's, this is your parent's
+This is your parent's hardcore! Hardcore!
+Nobody here's perfect, we've got flaws
+I'm probably a bigger fuck-up than you'll ever be
+And yet we get through life together, peacefully
+Don't call it a comeback, cuz it's not
+Been here for years and chances are, we're staying put
+You do your best but you cannot re-write the book
+(Chorus)
+==== YOUR FRUSTRATION ====
+Forget what I just said to you - it's meaningless
+Make like I'm not even here - I'm sure you can
+Like something that you might have dreamt - a secret kept
+I'd rather not get you upset
+(Chorus)
+I just keep adding to your frustration - oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
+No wonder why you have your reservations - oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
+And I have no excuse for my ways - I never have
+I could blame it on growing up wrong - like everyone
+I could say that this like isn't fair - ridiculous
+I could play on the fact that you care
+(Chorus)
+(first verse over)
+(Chorus repeat)
+==== RULES TO FOLLOW ====
+You better tell somebody
+Go on, you might as well
+Document your feelings
+It might be your last chance
+You can't tell
+Scream and shout about it
+Make sure it's good and loud
+If you're unsure about it
+It really doesn't matter anyhow
+(Chorus)
+Who says there are rules to follow?
+Will you be around tomorrow?
+Time out, use your own expression
+You can't take this life for granted - Go!
+Get your pens and pencils
+You better write this down
+Cuz soon enough it's over
+And when you're gone this part is around
+Work hard to rise above it
+You'll have to figure how
+A plain and simple message
+Why be another face amongst the crowd?
+(Chorus)
