"In Veneration of Fallen Heroes"


Side A ....... Side B
Fought The Good Fight
You got your letter, you’re only 18
You’re Going to war, going to a place you’ve never been
Trained to kill, you’re America’s fighting machine
You shed blood, protecting the American dream

(Chorus)
You fought the good fight
Gave it your all defending what’s right
You fought ht good fight
Defending your nation with all your might

You hit the ground, you’re sent to Viet Nam
It’s kill or be killed, you hunt the Viet Cong
The Battle rages on, your buddies die so young
The enemy’s in sight, no mercy for VC scum

(Chorus)

The war is over, time to go back home
Back in the U.S.A., you find you’re all alone
The enemy is rampant, your rights they don’t condone
America has changed, the seeds of evil they have sewn

(Chorus)



Social Engineers
Your liberal agenda you’re going to preach
Your left-wing lies you’re going to teach
Think you’ve found an ear, think we’ll eat it up
we don’t want your views, we’re going to shut you up

(Chorus)
Traitors within, enemies without
Time to put an end to you all, time to stamp you out

Tearing th enation apart, it's falling piece by piece
We're gonna take it back, in the end you'll meet defeat
Spreading your poison, trying to corrupt our minds
Time tp weed you out, we don't want your lies

(Chorus)

Repeat 1st verse



Bandera
War hits the east, Russia ain’t got a clue
Nazi steamroller charging on and breaking through
Reds caught by surprise and they’re falling back
Ukraine in the middle
Swastika, Hammer--Sickle you will attack

(Chorus)
You fought the Reds, you fought the Nazi scum
For Nazis and Communist
Mercy, you had none

Nazi philosophy or Red slavery
Both equal deaths, so fought to keep your nation free
Two beasts from the East and the West destroyed your
nation
Spilling blood of Reds and Nazis
Was your retaliation

(Chorus)

Caught in the crunch, the flame of life burns low
You fought for your nation, you fought from the soul
Freedom from oppression, these were your goals
Death to tyrants, both right and left
Let all people know

(Chorus)



Our Freedom
Sent to war in a foreign land
Useless to society
They put a gun I your hand
Trained to kill, not to care
Poor kills poor
Who said life was fuckin’ fair

(Chorus)
Where's the freedom, in our freedom
What price for freedom
Workingman's death is his freedom

You go to work to earn a wage
They suck life from you
You’re gonna die at an early age
don’t get sick or miss a day
‘Cause you’ll be gone
Disposable, easily replaced

(Chorus)

Put away for crimes they made
They don’t like you
So now you’re gonna pay
Sent away, no blind justice today
Nothing new
In your life of pain

(Chorus)

There ain't no freedom, in our freedom
We just die for the system



Executive Privilege
Got your power from those deceived
you’re no good, they wouldn’t believe
You fooled them, you won’t fool me

You promised this, you promised that
Smoke and mirrors try to hid the facts
In our time of need, on your ass you sat

(Chorus)
Dishonor, greed and power
Clinton, draft-dodger, coward

Our Boys fighting in the jungles of Nam
You stayed home, you pulled a scam
You let others die for your land

No integrity, not even a drop
Like a snake you slid to the top
The White House, your next stop

(Chorus)

Repeat 1st verse



Eye of the Needle
Look down your nose, think you’re better than me
Misery all around you, but you choose not to see
Money, wealth and power, these are your gods
Greed your king, money-hungry dogs

(Chorus)
World at your feet
History you will repeat
Hands around our throats
But in the end who’s at the end of a rope

When your world shatters, where will you go
You'll be reaping just what you sowed
You can't hide'cause they're coming for you
Thought you were wise, but now who's the fool

(Chorus)

In the end, where will you turn
How will you survive, when you cities burn
You're so smart, look back in history
The first to go, always the pampered breed

(Chorus)





..................................................... Child Killer
Child killer in our midst
He been released, now he stalks our nations streets
Spends his time hunting the young
Pedophile, murderer, freak
Just one answer for his crime
slow death, make him draw his last breath

(Chorus)
Kill the Freak
Stretch his neck until in breaks

One by one they disappear
They’re dead, taken at night from their beds
He gets his fun
From raping, he likes torturing his innocent pray
Now he’s the hunted
No mercy, track him down and cut off his head

(Chorus)



Shit Job
Get up, get out
Get out of bed, hit the bricks
Can’t afford to be late

Punch the Clock
Start and don’t delay
Another day in the shit job you hate

(Chorus)
Shit job
Can’t get a raise
Shit job
Your next promotion ‘s called a grave

Do as you're told
Conform and don't complain, got to break out
There's got to be better way

Here's what's real
There's a pile of bills to pay, now you're trapped
At the Shit job you hate

(Chorus)
Now you're old
40 and you're gray, waysted life
The years have slipped away

Nothing to show
For your life of misery, now you'll die
At the shit job you hate

(Chorus)



Just Deserves
All you say
Talkin’ your shit night and day
Behind our backs
Spreading rumors and your crap
You won’t choose sides
Are you going to stand or hide
You better beware
What comes around goes back again

(Chorus)
When you’re gone you won’t be missed
On your grave I will piss
When your gone we’ll curse your name
You live a life of such disdain

In the gutter
You’re the scum of the street
Smoking dope
All strung out on that shit
Begging for change
Got no money for you to waste
Time to come clean
You’re a rich rebel from some suburban scene

(Chorus)

Now what’s left
Look at your life, a fuckin mess
No turning back
you made your choices, chose your path
You Lived like shit
Now you’re dead in a ditch
It you deserved
For what you did, just deserves

(Chorus)



Fair Weather Rebels
You come from suburbs nice and clean
You come to beg on city streets
Your clothes are dirty, ripped and torn
Punk rock squatter stay home

(Chorus) Fair waether rebels
Dirty squatters go home

Weather's warm, better pack your bags
Im abandoned Buildings you will crash
Having fun in the filth and squalor
You can't stand you wealthy father

(Chorus)

Weather's cold, it's time to go
Got to go back to your suburban homes
St. Marks won't be so near
Dirty squatters, there's always next year

(Chorus)



Red Scum
Commie bastards dressed as skins
In this struggle you won’t win
Nazis and commies you’re all the same
You’ll find out this ain’t no game

(Chorus)
Red scum, no red flags in the sky
Red scum, we say hang those bastards high
Red scum, no red flags in the sky
Red scum, soon you’re gonna fuckin die

You got no American Pride
Now you better run and hide
Love for the nation you don't know
Under the boot you will go
(Chorus)

Repeat 1st verse



Business as Usual
Don’t be surprised when you look at the news
About the abuse of power by the blues in blue
Behind their lies and their cover-up
To serve and to protect, they don’t give a fuck

(Chorus)
‘Cause it’s business as usual
When the cops come down your street
The poor and innocent are trampled under their feet

Don’t be fooled, the truth they try to hide
The guns and the laws are on their side
A look of hate deep inside their eyes
Racist thug pure and simple and that’s no lie

(Chorus)

Drugs, money, murdered is what your tax dollars bought
In the Ghetto their victims keep getting shot
It’s the way it’s been since way back when
Police brutality, my friend, will never end

(Chorus)
