of thinking. We are presenting startling facts and evidence that take up 
where other explanations evolved. Some of these revelations may very

life. Prepare yourself for the evidence which will follow.

HOOVER STREET top

She's a Salvadorian immigrant
Head to a thin wall, a frail hooker
Holding the corner walls
Gleaming sky scrapers bunker he look down
Laugh hysterically, and then he spread around 

In Hoover street then he must be alone
The precious little, the kid cashed the woes 
Of a ... girl she kind of made you spill
Her brother Mario got shot four times in da head

You see poor Mario he caught a hot one 
Through the lung now he's done so god bless him 
The cocaine move to that system
Like a river forever wounding

To the last party of the under class
... distance just a bunch of kids who don't wanna finish last
You see the marketplace has changed the weight of the scale
You either get out and die or go to jail

And your best intentions splitter and frail
A few weeks of promise and attempts fail

It's a glass pipe murder, glass pipe murder oh yeah
Glass pipe murder, it's a glass pipe murder 
oh yeah! oh yeah, oh yeah...

They kick a bottle of beer and a letter
Simple things made Mario feel better
You see it falls on you and it falls on me
Self annhilation, catastrophe

Two packs of cigarettes 
For 2 dollars and 70 cents
And a bottle of wine that's been opened
And he said: why do i do this?

A shiver through his body like a bottle of CC
Not encouraging reality outta me
He said: it's who i am baby back to it
Off the deep end the record changed

You see no one's stood up, and cheered for him
Everyone sat down with something that happened
Began to happen...
It's an old school dormitory and the handcuffs bleed

It's a glass pipe murder, glass pipe murder oh yeah
Glass pipe murder, it's a glass pipe murder 
oh yeah! oh yeah, oh yeah...

Who was the killer?
It's in the...

Oh yeah!


BLACK LUNG top

Sign a petition under working conditions
Union is in bed with the call of berettas
Carry our freedom
Lookin for something
To give your family a better life for every single day

Some things keep me goin
I got no one to blame
5 o'clock is comin
Do you feel the same
When a lonely whistle calls out your name

What a man likes to see
When they come after mine
No pretyness for the mighty black lung
Reconfirm workers
Reconfirm us
Take off the gloves and sock it to 'em

Some things keep me goin
I got no one to blame
5 o'clock is comin
Do you feel the same
When a lonely whistle calls out your name

Hey i'm leavin
Black lung feaver
Transmit receiver
Backed up to see her

Your presidence for the black lung feaver

Some things keep me goin
I got no one to blame
5 o'clock is comin
Do you feel the same
When a lonely whistle calls out your name


NEW DRESS top

Oh no, no no
Yeah!

With a gleaming success with the different tribes
Religious indifference mixed between the lines
Territorial company they legitimize
Prosecution deformed enterprised now
The unity's gone apart from it all
The problem is spreading international
Like Ireland's Belfast it's going to be
A brand new key

Working class girl puts her money to the test
She's got a new dress, she's gonna look her best
Yugoslavia's been blown to bits... yeah
She's got a new dress, she's looking to the West

Well entertain the idea of a peace on earth
?
In a world which has seen the citizens die
While the innocent children play near fire now
When i look through and see evidence
Another truth with permanence
The time for civil war is the sooner i live
The chivalrous ones will never represent it

Working class girl puts her money to the test
She's got a new dress, she's gonna look her best
Yugoslavia's been blown to bits... yeah
She's got a new dress, she's looking to the West

?
The methods of separatists are dastardly
Try to cleanse the hands of the murdering
The appendage of guilt is lingering
Shadows of soldiers lay nearby
The dead ones finally reach a compromise
The consumption of war lies in Bosnia
Consumption of war lies in Bosnia


WARSAW top

True to ourself, glad we did it
Beat him down with a baseball bat
Police retreated in riot scenes 
In fear of a baseball bat

Working class intelectuals
Disillusion you for sure
Broken dreams in Warsaw
Where all the dreams fall down

American baseball bat
Demolish the discotheque!
And how many blows to his forearm and neck
'til he lay on the schoolyard, bludgeoned to death

December 13, 1981
Who remembers the loaded gun
Who remembers the first morning 
Of martial law

Hey you should bring that Louisville
Yeah man, i'll know where
Yeah man, i'm economic
Hardshipped in Warsaw

American baseball bat
Demolish the discotheque!
And how many blows to his forearm and neck
'til he lay on the schoolyard, bludgeoned to death

Hey! All alone, bludgeoned to death!


HOOLIGANS top

Yeah! Here's the new face of rock n roll!
It's about fightin toe to toe...
Hard times come, yeah the hard times go
When i say, come on, come on

Well all the hooligans and bootboys know one thing for sure
Scar's been stricken on their face
Well all the hooligans and bootboys know one thing for sure
Scar's been stricken on their face

One man's decision brings another's opposition completely unbound
Down on the flat where the seaside meets my lonely young town
Well all the rudies and skins, well they're out on the streets making the way on the dole
Between the bottles and sex, they smash and they wreck for something to live

Well all the hooligans and bootboys know one thing for sure
Scar's been stricken on their face
Well all the hooligans and bootboys know one thing for sure
Scar's been stricken on their face

Sometimes you know there's no place to go but to a long life of crime
Yeah but it's so wrong to steal someone's very last meal to profit up a dime
Your poe poes and greys sell they end up in jail gonna swing the cowboys
Well you took a bite outta the apple of desicion that got ya there boy

Well all the hooligans and bootboys know one thing for sure
Scar's been stricken on their face
Well all the hooligans and bootboys know one thing for sure
Scar's been stricken on their face

Hooligans and bootboys, 
I don't want no racial hatred.

"Black and white, who are portrayed without bias.
These are the people whose voice i want to be..."

I said the hooligans!   Rancid
	Bootboys!	Rancid
	Hooligans!	Rancid
	Bootboys!	Rancid

Well all the hooligans and bootboys know one thing for sure
Scar's been stricken on their face
Well all the hooligans and bootboys know one thing for sure
Scar's been stricken on their face


CRANE FIST top

(spoken)Within the same school the idea was that we'd later combine 
both styles, unify the techniques. But still, we were too young. Too 
full of ignorant pride in our own specialist styles...

Oh no! Some people live illegal what you got you can't keep here
Oh no! Some people live illegal oh they rise a lot of evil

Open the jails and set the men free
Well the devils and the witches are looming on me
And the fighting and the robbing induce slavery
A decision of dissention into insanity

Oh no! Some people live illegal what you got you can't keep here
Oh no! Some people live illegal oh they rise a lot of evil

Humility will hold you and never let you go
To all myfriends, well, much gratitude
To all the wicked, i've got my eyes on you
And everyone stands in confusion, oh oh no

Oh no! Some people live illegal what you got you can't keep here
Oh no! Some people live illegal oh they rise a lot of evil

(spoken) To do the job, you've got to prepare yourself to die...

Put 'em up, put 'em in, run 'em out, run quicker
Cool to the front street president maker
Quicker than any motherfucker that i know
Raggamuffin style but without the afro
Put on the speacker gonna blast it
Blast those lyrics everlasting
With a 12 gauge double barrel lyric gun
????

We'll stand tall with a clutched fist
Proclamation to the nihilist
Down to the propagandist
Take me off of that fuckin list

Open the jails and set the men free
Well the devils and the witches are looming on me
And the fighting and the robbing induce slavery
A decision of dissention into insanity

Oh no! Some people live illegal what you got you can't keep here
Oh no! Some people live illegal oh they rise a lot of evil...

BACKSLIDE top

Like sand just take your dreams away
Runnin on the ground
At the end of the day it's your life your loss
If you can't turn the clock round
I say what you got you can have 
That i want you better not miss a shot
You're letting yourself in all kind of danger
And soon enough you're gonna get caught

They had a feeling
T'was like you had to prove you're one in a million
And i'm talkin bout junkies been dealing
This time the drugs are you
And they'll come through
It ain't gonna stop till they get what they want 
And i say

Nobody knows me, i'm all alone
ayayayay I gotta go
It's an hollywood bus stop and the party's over
ayayayay I gotta go

John was on his home by down 
So he waited for a ride
Then waited to come by at the 
hollywood's concert backslide
With unaffordable odds and a sunroof, 
Nestled among the filth
Frequencies and bad intentions
Gotta take it for what it's worth and i say

They had a feeling
T'was like you had to prove you're one in a million
And i'm talkin bout junkies been dealing
This time the drugs are you
And they'll come through
It ain't gonna stop till they get what they want 
And i say

Nobody knows me, i'm all alone
ayayayay I gotta go
It's an hollywood bus stop and the party's over
ayayayay I gotta go

Have you ever been hunted by your past
And it will never let you go
Will never ever ever let you go, no
I say will never ever ever let you go...


WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT top

Who would have thought that dreams come true
Who would have thought i'd end up with you
Who would have thought what they said was true 
But it was and you are light and darkness comin through

Silhouettes of palm trees backin up against the sky
Echo park sunset, an ambulance drives by
Someone went down, and i wonder who
Faces fall through was it anybody i know?
So i drank like a fish till i crawl like a rat
In the city of shit i ended up on my back
But i can't believe you're with me after dark
So let's come together in Echo park, and i say

Who would have thought that dreams come true
Who would have thought i'd end up with you
Who would have thought what they said was true 
But it was and you are light and darkness comin through

A red flag, and your body wins
A snake bite, gotta start again
So i'm fucked up and watchin TV all day
I don't wanna see what ricky lake's gotta say
And it hits me when i'm alone, i'm an angry man
I start singin to myself i go dealt a shitty hand
With all those feelings my heart could explode
So is it not fear, no not at all, and i said

Who would have thought that dreams come true
Who would have thought i'd end up with you
Who would have thought what they said was true 
But it was and you are light and darkness comin through


CASH, CULTURE AND VIOLENCE top

Yeah! He says is power is what's happenin
Well to be sure to be respected nothin stoppin him
And to move up for him about crushin them
And I kick it plain and simple it's a sin man

And be sure the USA to wreck this
You drives a trick down trick down trick the Lexus
And he looks at the city, says "I can take this"
Take this!

Oh! Well he's tryin to acquire what no one needs
And he hit so fuckin high that your nose bleeds
He watches you break another aspect
You pop the nose that is correct
He kick the hell on a closin in
The victim family go condemn him
He says: "no, don't trust them", and "yeah, I'll show them"

It's the sword, the jewel, imagination
Cash, culture and violence
Violence, wealth, and knowledge
Cash, culture and violence
And you're ridin and you're ridin on a way of expansion
Cash, culture and violence
It's the sword, the jewel, imagination
Cash, culture and violence!

Poisoned like a rat who drank some strychnine gin
I'm only mad cuz i have been as low as you have been
Bureaucratic military federation
Limited only to rise again
Oh, the delicate captain hurt the rumble
And the legion they'll intimate what they come on
Consequently nothin but a concrete jungle
Lord, I wonder...

It's the sword, the jewel, imagination
Cash, culture and violence
Violence, wealth, and knowledge
Cash, culture and violence
And you're ridin and you're ridin on a way of expansion

THE WOLF top

I didn't trust him cause he smiled at me first
Just like the wolf before he bites me
And I didn't counter, i swear that it was cursed
Just as if it was to despite me

I saw some better days ?????
Place a portrait of the suburbs of the last couple years
A solid lasting image, an image of chaos
Yeah all i ever known was isolation and pain
Of all the kids been losin everything every single day
And all this dayly drama you know i see myself fall
I think you twisted, I lost union
Consuming it all

I didn't trust him cause he smiled at me first
Just like the wolf before he bites me
And I didn't counter, i swear that it was cursed
Just as if it was to despite me

So in the antisocial side you know I found myself a job
My jury self-proclaied credible artist
It's symbolic I guess, a delicate balance
I never really thought i could make it all happen
Now the anarchist kid gives a fuck about you
I stood up every single time that i fell
It's just you, it's just you
Consuming it all

I didn't trust him cause he smiled at me first
Just like the wolf before he bites me
And I didn't counter, i swear that it was cursed
Just as if it was to despite me

I didn't trust him cause he smiled at me first
Just like the wolf before he bites me
And I didn't counter, i swear that it was cursed
Just as if it was to despite me

1998 top

Wystone Clinics, 1974
Fathers talkin shit motherfucker slam the door
Hit the streets running cannot take it anymore
In the rails of a train i cuddle on the floor
Well the park bench is cold sleepin in the rain
Little kid sitting in the shootin gallery
Set yourself up from manifested misery
Oh is this what you want? Not the way, what they fuckin say

Hangin out with sid yet again in the USA
Sidney Sidney in the USA

Lower East side, 1976
Who's got the dope and who's doing trips
Should i call a loser all for a fix? 
Rippen off some lady just avoid to keep you sick
Well the life moves slow when you got nowhere to go
What the fuck happens to your soul when you're low
Is he comin over? Is he comin home?
Oh momma's disapointed, waiting by the phone

Hangin out with sid yet again in the USA
Sidney Sidney in the USA

Same fuckin shit, 1998
Liftin bait by the motherfuckers that he hates
Hates the fuckin people but he cannot see straight
Who's got the bag gonna seal his fate
The park bench is cold sleepin in the rain
Little kid sittin in the shooting gallery
Set yourself up from manifested misery
Oh is this what you want? Not the way, what they fuckin say

Hangin out with sid yet again in the USA
Sidney Sidney in the USA


LADY LIBERTY top

Lady Liberty, come down and bleed to me
I want nothing to do with your crazy world
Broken promises, those poor noises
Are bringing it by the time all abandoned and alone
From the conscience to the inside to shouted Sandinista

Lady Liberty, come down and bleed to me
You had me to beleive that the streets are paved in gold
Some intend less than the coldness 
And then I come to find that the streets aren't paved at all
From the conscience to the inside to shouted Sandinista
From the conscience to the inside to shouted Sandinista

From the Kremlin to Afghanistan to all forgotten ones
The opposite confusion to distraught refugees
And the filth of poison ivy through the famine and disease
You bled my loyalty

Lady Liberty, come down and bleed to me
You had me to beleive that the streets are paved in gold
All you tell me not to worry about the short comes of lives
And high cost of living
From the conscience to the inside to shouted Sandinista
From the conscience to the inside to shouted Sandinista...
Shouted Sandinista!

And an open mind no longer stable
And ya spin like a DJ's turntable

A million eyeball and a blink and a smile
With no dimensions in sight
Well given an inch, a billion colors
The entire world's contrast light

Oh it ain't right, another fight
Well all of it's so very clear
With my passion on a stud, i walk through
I walked through the vicious ones, i really don't care

Well there's no more food on the table
I once was strong no longer able
And an open mind no longer stable
And ya spin like a DJ's turntable

My western mind had a hard time hard time
Getting across this trust
Passive resistance, your assistance
You're the one smoking dust

It ain't a style, nor a trial
It's the best of love and hate love and hate
Come on everybody, let's get together

It's gonna be me misunderstood
Oh i'm a downtown member in the frontline
