Stand By Your Van Live
(1998)1. Don't Push (Recorded Live at Kommotion, San Fransisco, CA 9/9/94)
Comin’ up the Sublime
Stolen from an Africa land,
Chased out with a knife
With a face like
Bob Marley and some mouth like a motor-bikeOh well the bars are always open, and the time is always right
And if God's good word goes unspoken the music goes all night
And it goes... If i was
Bob Marley I said could you be loved?And if I was half pint I'd whoop my Lord up above
If I was Mike Tyson I'd look for a fight
If I was a boomtown rat i would be stayin' up all night
If I was the King Ad-Rock I would get stupid dumb
And if rhymes were valiums I'd be comfortably numb
If I had a shotgun, you know what I'd do?
I'd point that shit straight at the sky and shoot heaven on down for you
Because the bars are always open and the time is always right
And if God's good work goes unspoken the music goes all night
And it goes... I want a lover but I can't find the time
I want a reason but can't find a rhyme
And I want to start some static but I can't afford
Knees slam to the ground as I fell off my skateboard
Jesus Christ nowadays is clear as you please
You get strapped with protection or strapped with disease
Cuz laughter, it's free
Any time just call me

Sublime you getStolen from an Africa land,
I was chased out of the bar
Who-ahh I saw my best friend tonight so
Don't push

Get hit, get hip, don't slip you knuckle heads
Racism is scism on a serious tip

SublimeCheck out (???) guy it seed on time

Whoa-oh, we no want plastic!

Right Back (Recorded Live at Kommotion, San Fransisco, CA 9/9/94)Sleepin' by yourself at night can make you feel alone
Your girlfriend said so, but I really don't know
That don't mean we fucked around
That night last week when you left town
Was tweakin' by myself one night
That's when I wrote this tune
And I did not have no need for that bed in my hotel room
Sometimes right now since I've left the pen
Feels like I'm
right back there againSometimes I pray
And I’m waiting, waiting for some bright holiday (holiday)
Yeah, and I bought myself a gun hu-uh yeah
And I'm right back, right back where I'm from (from from from)
Sleepin' by yourself at night can make you feel alone
My got me a baby doll girlfriend - she's a little ho

New Thrash (Recorded Live at Kommotion, San Fransisco, CA 9/9/94)I've got so much trouble on my mind that it feels just like I'm always sleepin' with the enemy
Yeah, but I know the real world always gets the last word in
That's why I gotta kick reality
So don't tease me, and try to say that I should care
Might as well go out for mine when everybody's going out for their’s
There ain’t no life nowhere
So don't tell me about a fake drug war,
Go ahead cut the education board once more,
The people will one day learn and rise
Not everyone is out to score
To score, to score
We’re are all fucked up
; (???) liquor store4.
Let's go get stoned (Recorded Live at Kommotion, San Fransisco, CA 9/9/94)I swear sometimes your taking me for granted.
And I swear sometimes you’re a whore
And I swear but I know there ain't no reason
Cuz everything is such a bore
Yipes!
Last night I had a dream, oh it made me sick
Saw you in your bedroom sucking someone else’s dick
And my friends all laughed, said it was my fault
That it's time that it happened to me
But I know that the show was much more than a blow
And I'm waiting for the tide to get low-ow-ow
Waiting for the tide to get low
Lick ‘em
Sssss sok ok
Rokk
Brrrrgrgrg
Three ray sok
Muthafucka like three the hard way
Heh, if I was an ant crawlin' upon the wall
Tell me baby, would it make no difference at all?
If I was a roach on a tree
Tell me, would you smoke me?
Good God knows
Bright lights put me in trance
But it ain't house music, that makes me want (to dance)
I don't gamble but I bet
I'm gonna die if I don't get a cigarette
Just because I always play the mack
Put the monkey on my back, God knows
Bon nom bom bom buh somemon

Uno, dos, tres, quatro

Wake up in the morning and it's hard to live. Buh duh bye

Date Rape (Recorded Live at Kommotion, San Fransisco, CA 9/9/94)(Crowd: Date Rape! Date Rape...)
Alright alright
Awright
I thought I was in a shitty mood too
(Crowd: Date Rape! Date Rape...)
Let me tell you about a girl I know
Had a drink about a hour ago
Sitting in a corner by herself, in a bar in downtown L.
She heard a noise and she looked through the door
Saw a man she'd never seen before
He had light skin and light blue eyes
A double-chin and a plastic smile
Well he a beat heart rate as he walked in the door
And took an empty seat next to her at the bar
"My brand new car is parked right outside.
How'd ya like to go for a ride?"
But she said "Wait a minute I have to think"
He said "That's fine. May I please buy you a drink"
One drink turned into 3 or 4
And they left and got into his car
And drove someplace real far
Buh-da-bye buh-da-bye buh-da-bye
Now babe the time has come
How'd ya like to have a little fun?
And she said
"If we could only please be on our way I will not run"
That's when things got out of control
She didn't want to, he had his way
She said "Let's Go"
He said "No Way!"
Come on babe it's your lucky day.
Hush your mouth, (were gonna do it my way)
(gibberish)
Come on baby don't be afraid
If it wasn't for
date rape I'd never get laid-aid-aid-aid(guitar solo)
He turned up and he started the car
He turned around and drove back to the bar
He said "Now baby don't be sad
In my opinion you weren't half-bad."
Well she picked up a rock.,threw it at the car
Hit him in the head ,now his got a big scar
Come on party people won't you listen to me
Date Rape
Styley!The next day she went to her drawer
Looked up her local attorney at law
Went to the phone and filed a police report
And she took the guy's ass to court
Well the day he stood in front of the judge
He screamed "She lies that little slut!"
The judge knew that he was full of shit
And he gave him 25 years
Now his heart is filled with tears
One night in jail it was getting late
He was accosted by a large inmate
He screamed as he got buttfucked
But the guards paid no attention to his cries
That's when things got out of control
The moral of the date rape story
It does not pay when your drunk and horny
That's the way it had to be
Locked him up and threw away the key
Well, I can't take pity on men of his kind
Even though he now takes it in the behind
That's the way it had to be
Locked him up and threw away the key
Well, I can't take pity on men of his kind
Even though he now takes it in the behind
DATE RAPE!
Nah nah nah nah nah bah nah nah nah nah
Bah nah nah nah nah bah nah nah nah nah
(She didn’t want to)
She didn’t want to
She didn’t want to
She didn’t want to – take it!
(Someone: Take a break for a minute while the guy changes reals)
