NIHILISM top

Come into the Union District
Drive down on Sharmon Palms
White ghettos paint a picture
Broken homes and broken bones

I was so fulla scotch i could not stand up
I was hitting the shots and i moved to a cup
Release me from moral assumption
Total rejection total destruction

Nihilistic feelings are moving
If i try really hard i see right through them
Nihilism! (x 3)

Come into the Union District
Drive down on Sharmon Palms
White ghettos paint a picture
Broken homes and broken bones

Walkin a path of self destruction
Not affected by repercussions
Lady at the billboard offered me a drink
I said "not right now i need time to think!"

Nihilistic feelings are moving 
If i try really hard i see right through them
Nihilism! (x 3)

I was so fulla scotch i could not stand up
I was hitting the shots and i moved to a cup
When you come into the Union District
And you drive down Sharmon Palms
White ghettos paint a picture
Broken homes and broken bones
Yeah... Broken bones!



RADIO top

Never fell in love till i fell in love with you
Never know what a good time was till i had a good time with you
If you wanna get the feelin and you wanna get it right then the music's gotta be loud
For when the music hits i feel no pain at all

Warm summer night i was drinkin with my dad
He tried to give me love that i never had
But he gave more love to his bottle of wine
So I had to go out find love of another kind

Here it is
Here i am
Turn it up
Fuckin loud!

Radio radio radio radio radio radio radio
When i've got the music i gotta place to go
Radio radio radio radio radio radio radio
When i've got the music i gotta place to go

Radio Clash, magnificent seven
I was a choir boy you showed me no heaven
Two tbols surely lost
No remorse, ignored the cost



SIDE KICK top

I had a dream i was a vigilante's side kick
My name is Tim i'm a lesser known character

Down in Oakland off of West Grand
Saint Joseph Relief Program
A good place where good people get food yeah
Help your fellow man a good thing to do yeah

Government agency said be afraid of me i
Shut your doors down and it won't phase me
Wolverine came through left the agent for dead
Backed up the doors backed up everyone was fed

I had a dream i was a vigilante's side kick
My name is Tim i'm a lesser known character
I had a dream a was a vigilante's side kick
Fighting crime in the streets together

Do not bill the abandoned buildings
It's nice to sleep when you got a cieling
Neighborhood watch said we gotta put a stop yeah
Can't have people living for free call the cops yeah

Here comes the SWAT Team with the M16 too
Shoot the walls in destroy the building
Wolverine was sad and it made him mad
Every single cop got a bullet in their head

I had a dream i was a vigilante's side kick
My name is Tim i'm a lesser known character
I had a dream a was a vigilante's side kick
Fighting crime in the streets together



SALVATION top

Come on baby won't you show me what you got there
I want your salvation whooooa
Come on baby won't you show me what you got there
I want your salvation whooooa

There's a neighbourhood called Blackhawk 
Where all the rich people hide
I was down on my luck workin for the Salvation Army
The shelter is where i reside
Everyday we drive into Blackhawk and pick up the offerings
Microwave ovens refrigerators for the suffering

Come on baby won't you show me what you got there
I want your salvation whooooa
Come on baby won't you show me what you got there
I want your salvation whooooa

I can't believe these people live like kings
Hidden estates and diamond rings
I'm a ra-a-at out on a mission
I'm in your front yard under suspicion

Come on baby won't you show me what you got there
I want your salvation whooooa
Come on baby won't you show me what you got there
I want your salvation whooooa



TENDERLOIN top

Realize you're dehumanised you
Criticize your existence
It's your demise when no sun arise you know
Paralized by your lack of existence

She knows she is she knows she's going
Down the road where the fire's glowing
Tenderloin tenderloin tenderloin

The tricks she gets them she's not a victim
She makes a list of them and reds it all alone
For money she's walking down on Larkin
In T.A. they're rocking all night long

She knows she is she knows she's going
Down the road where the fire's glowing
Tenderloin tenderloin tenderloin

She knows she is she knows she's going
Down the road where the fire's glowing
Tenderloin tenderloin tenderloin



LET'S GO top

Jimmy said he could handle this
Ohh, he's from Los Angeles ohh!

Jimmy said he could handle this
Born and raised with West Side solutions
Dad's a lawyer, Mummy's asleep
Runs down the family can't you see

One thing seems very clear
Daddy's got no connection here
Everything's reject and demanded
Lived your life and thought handled it

Let the dying shorten this rythmmmm!

Let's go! where the shores are green
Let's go! where the music's loud
Let's go! where there ain't no problems, fuck this fuckin transit

I ain't forty, i like your stories
Keep them coming cause it's kinda boring
It ain't coming you have to find it
Cause all of a sudden you got grounded

You didn't care, you just stared 
At the sign that said "all beware"
In and Out and said "Oi, Tik, Tok", 
I'm glad you got away from me

Let the dying shorten this rythmmmm!

Let's go! where the shores are green
Let's go! where the music's loud
Let's go! where there ain't no problems, fuck this fuckin transit

Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah



AS ONE top

War between races war between lies
War between something i feel inside
You were wrong all along i was right you lied
U to the N to the ITY
Straight down too late can't kick the feeling
Looking from the bottom and can't see the ceiling
Shots rung out in the Oakland winter
Can't stand alone and can't stand together

As one, as one
As one, as one

No matter what you do they try to divide
Fear you up what's inside
You're going way down down down the scale
Hook the anchor to the gates of hell
Once you realized that it was so simple
What you been given you can't take with you
I asked someone if he had the same vision
He said yeah he had the same vision

As one, as one
As one, as one

As one...



BURN top

Why can't i walk on thru
And not feel like one is in hell
Why can't i walk on thru
And not feel like one is in hell

We don't need no water let the motherfucker burn
We don't need no water let the motherfucker burn
We don't need no water let the motherfucker burn
We don't need no water let the motherfucker burn

Thirteen red and white stripes flyin
One for skin and red for dyin
Thirteen red and white stripes flyin
One for skin and red for dyin
Thirteen red and white stripes flyin
One for skin and red for dyin
Ohhhhh we're dying!



THE BALLAD OF JIMMY AND JOHNNY top

Jimmy and Johnny two friends of mine, skinheads what they claim
Some outside similarities but oh they don't feel the same
See Johnny thinks Jimmy's a mod, and Jimmy thinks Jonny's a punk
Jimmy listens to ska and Johny likes last resort

Jimmy and Johnny in the trenches going down tonight
Drinking guiness smoking 555's
Once you're in the middle you feel alright

Skinhead tats and a Fred Perry, 
There's a war in the cemetary
Started fighting, stopped drinking
What the fuck, where they thinking??

Jimmy and Johnny tell me what you're seeing
Jimmy and Johnny tell me what you're seeing
yeah yeah yeah yeah 
yeah yeah yeah yeah

Jimmy had his two-tone girl on the back of his scooter last night
Johnny had a jacked up Chevy that could blow you right off the line

Skinhead tats and a Fred Perry, 
There's a war in the cemetary
Started fighting, stopped drinking
What the fuck, where they thinking??

Jimmy and Johnny tell me what you're seeing
Jimmy and Johnny tell me what you're seeing
yeah yeah yeah yeah 
yeah yeah yeah yeah

Jimmy and Johnny tell me what you're seeing
Jimmy and Johnny tell me what you're seeing

GUNSHOT top

Everybody wants to come but nobody wants to pay
I try to show them but they do anyway
I was caught up and knocked down to my knees
Same thing for my duty quiz

Gunshot! Gunshot!
Gunshot through my heart!

Sometimes there are guys who can deal with me
Everything's imperive but i don't fucking need
I know where you are but i don't care
I've got ideas but no decision

Gunshot! Gunshot!
Gunshot through my heart!

Gunshooooot!
Gunshooooot!...



I'M THE ONE top

I'm the one who' got religion
I'm the one I can't tell you my name

Are you gonna be ready to use it
If you hesitate they'll pursue it
Put the gun to your dome no question
Now the holy ghost in question what about the banks
When they say go
Standin at the top & can't let go standin'
Can't take can't take that time when I try
Sometimes I can't stay high

I'm the one who's got religion
I'm the one I can't tell you my name...

Are you gonna be ready to use it
If you hesitate they'll pursue it
Goods evil erme from above
Death peace eternal love
Bleedin' at the gates & I can't come in
Courage that abates a life of sin
Sure that it holds and it holds no other
With the lies of the brave the kid don't matter

I'm the one who's got religion
I'm the one I can't tell you my name



GAVE IT AWAY top

yeah!

Verse 1 (i dunno it, only the end)
...all the time you gave it away

You gave it away, you gave it away, 
you gave it awaaaaay

I've seen the finish, i saw it at the start
I remember you, straight from the heart
I say lies, and what do you say?
You gave me your heart and then you're takin it

You gave it away, you gave it away, 
you gave it awaaaaay

You gave it away, you gave it away, 
you gave it awaaaaay

And the punks say stop it		time for the back streets

And time for the back streets with you

Oi!



HARRY BRIDGES top

Bloody thursday was July the 6th
The pigs killed 3 workers Harry Bridge
Grabbed the mic the city shut down
July the 6th the workers out raged it was a general strike
The media claimed that the commies were takin' over 
And some believed it was true
3 uncompromisin' strikes paved the way
Minn Sf.& toledo over & over again
The doors are locked & the windows are broken
Eddie worked for  General Motors
& He swore that he'd never lost his job again
A union man who owned his own home in beautiful flint mich
Eddie lost his job and Eddie lost his wife
So Eddie lost his self esteem
The last time I saw Eddie
He was livin in the Trailer park again
I believe Eddie for gave to much
Too soon
I got a letter about Eddie & it was bad news



BLACK AND BLUE top

I started watchin' them all down the line
Keep steppin' and rejectin' all of the time
They try to put me in
Can't let that happen again
They try to do it again all on me

Sedation through the nation
We're screamin' we're screamin' black and blue
Intoxication of a generation
We're screamin' we're screamin' black and blue

The blind leading the blind
They told me I was dumb
They said their decurity system
Was to big to outurn
But I broke away & I'm never goin' back
For all the souls they broke
Mine never cracked

Sedation through the nation
We're screamin' we're screamin' black and blue
Intoxication of a generation
We're screamin' we're screamin" black and blue



St MARY top

She's got a ticket and she's waiting at the station
She's got to get away get away as far as she can
Her problems will arise as sure as the sun does shine yeah
She's got to get used to life out on the lam

Now Mary's at the door with a loaded .44 in her hand
Shooting down the law that shot down her dear departed man

When i last saw her she was looking troubled
She said this is the 905 i'm gonna be alright
She took the Greyhound into Salinus
I got a letter then she dropped outta sight

Now Mary's at the door with a loaded .44 in her hand
Shooting down the law that shot down her dear departed man

Shrouded in anger oh
Encompassed oh yeah encompassed by pain
He was your best friend
And you will never ever ever see him again

Now Mary's at the door with a loaded .44 in her hand
Shooting down the law that shot down her dear departed man



DOPE SICK GIRL top

This song's about a girl who ripped me off
She was dope sick!

Dope sick girl hit and run she took my money
Eighty seven dollars gone now she's running

How was i to know
That girl could take my heart everywhere she'd go

Dope sick girl a rig and a ride she's got no freedom
Little demons gonna hide inside she's gotta feed them

How was i to know
That girl could take my heart everywhere she'd go
Everywheeeeeeere, everywhere she'd go

Dope sick girl there she was at the Methadone Clinic
Drank a cup a base coat she swore not to get back in it

How was i to know
That girl could take my heart everywhere she'd go

Dope sick girl a rig and a ride to New York City
Gonna run away gonna watch it burn in the heart of New York City

How was i to know
That girl could take my heart everywhere she'd go
Everywheeeeeeere, everywhere she'd go

Dope sick girl!

SOLIDARITY top

Solidarity, love and unity set me free
With a bullet & a gun
You said it was nothin'
I knew it was something
It was so surprisin' I saw you cryin'
About you. said what went wrong
About you. said you can't go on
About you. said it's a long time gone
About you. said your life's too long
Didn't see it comin'
Your fears went hunting
9 milimeters stops you running
About you. said the pressures on
About you. said you can't go on
About you. now you're long time gone
About you. so what went wrong
Solidarity, love and unity set me free
With a bullet and a gun



MIDNIGHT top

Midnight, I know where I am
That's right, I know where I'm goin'
Shut down vacant city ghost town
Tensions rising kick
Kick kick the door in lock
Look look around and affairs
Affairs of the nation
When the pressure come down sustain authority
Midnight, I know I can
That's right I ain't broken 
Shut down vacant city ghost town
Tension's rising kick
Kick kick the door
Look look look around and affairs
And affairs of the nation
When the pressure come down sustain authority



MOTORCYCLE RIDE top

Yeah!

If you wanna make a move then you'd better come in
It's just ability to reason that were so thin
Livin and dying and the stories that are true
The secret to a good life is knowin when you're through
You're walkin around ???
?? 
It doesn't matter if that dies
??????

Sarah ceased existing long before she died
A fifth of bourbon and a motorcycle ride

7:30 ???
???? your way to hell
???? 
7:30 ????
If you wanna make a move then you'd better come in
It's just ability to reason that were so thin
If you wanna make a move then you'd better come in
It's just ability to reason that were so thin

Sarah ceased existing long before she died
A fifth of bourbon and a motorcycle ride



NAME top

You don't know my name
Man you don't know my name
Paint a number on my head
Work me 'til I'm dead
I can't believe I've wasted 
All of these years i've tasted.
A million days and night
All this pain and struggle 
All for what I ask
All the hate and trouble
Punch drunk from the punch clock opportunity
Never gonna knock no more blue collar
All the unions gettin' smaller
One million nights & and 
All the pain and struggle
All for what I ask
All for hate and trouble



7 YEARS DOWN top

There's a place where I like to go
When I got no food or I got no shelter
It's a house where I can get away for maybe 3 days 
To get off the drink and stay off the haze

Who's the opposition? 
I'm 7 years down
The human spirit prevails
Oh yeah I'm down down down
Who's the opposition? 
I'm 7 years down
The human spirit prevails
Oh yeah I'm down down down

Woke up in the bushes 6:30 tuesday morning
With an unopened heinekken and a head that was burning
For 7 years I walked down the same path
Dreams of being loved was all I ever had

Who's the opposition? 
I'm 7 years down
The human spirit prevails
Oh yeah I'm down down down
Who's the opposition? 
I'm 7 years down
The human spirit prevails
Oh yeah I'm down down down

Oh
Let's... go!
Yeah!

Down on ??? kids smokin crack and drinkin
They say 'you don't belong here, fuck you mohekan'
They called me a fag and then they shut me out
But I don't give a fuck... I never did!!!

Who's the opposition? 
I'm 7 years down
The human spirit prevails
Oh yeah I'm down down down
Who's the opposition? 
I'm 7 years down
The human spirit prevails
Oh yeah I'm down down down

Blah!
