so full of scotch i could not stand up i was hittin' the shots and i moved
to a cup release me from moral assumption total rejection total destruction
nihilistic feelings are moving if i try real hard i'll see right through
them nihilism! walkin' a path of self destruction not affected by
the repercussions lady on the billboard offer me a drink said not right
now i need time to think nihilistic feelings are movin' if you try real
hard you'll see right through them i was so full of scotch i could hardly
stand up i was hittin' the shots and i moved to a cup white ghettos paint
a picture broken homes and broken bones.
Radio
Never fell in love until i fell in love with you
Never know what a good time was until i had a good time with you If you
wanna get the feeling and you wanna get it right Then the music gotta be
loud for when the music hit i feel no pain at all Warm summer night i was
drinking with my dad He tried to give me the love that i never had But
he gave more love to his bottle of wine So i had to go out and find love
of another kind Here it is Here i am Turn it up fuckin' loud Radio, Radio,
Radio... When i got the music i got a place to go Radio clash magnificent
7 I was a choir boy you showed me no heaven Two tools surely lost no remorse
ignoring the cost.
Sidekick
I had a dream i was a vigilantes sidekick my name
is tim im a lesser known character I had a dream i was a vigilantes sidekick
fighting crime in the streets together Down in oakland off of west grand,
st. joseph relief a program A good place were good people get food, help
your fellow man is a good thing to do Government agency said be afraid
of me, i shut your doors down it wont phase me Wolverine came through left
the agent for dead, opened up the doors back up Everyone was fed Do not
bill the abandoned buildings, it's nice to sleep when you've got a ceiling.
Neighborhood watch said we gotta put a stop, can't have people livin' for
free call the cops. Here comes the s.w.a.t. team, and the M-16, shoot
the walls in, destroy the building. Wolverine was sad and it made
him mad, every single cop got a bullet in the head.
Salvation
there's a neighborhood called blackhawk where all
the rich people hide I was down on my luck working for the salvation army
The shelter is where i reside Everyday we drive into blackhawk and we pick
up the offerings Microwave, refrigerator for the suffering I can't believe
these people live like kings Hidden estates and diamond rings i'm a rat
out on a mission i'm in your front yard under suspicion Come on baby won't
you show me what you got I want your salvation.
Tenderloin
realize you're dehumanized You criticize your existence
it's your demise when no sun arise When you're paralyzed by your lack of
resistance She know she is She knows she's going Down below where the fire's
glowing Tenderloin The tricks she gets them she's not a victim She makes
a list of them and reds reads them all alone For money she's walking down
on larkin In t.i. they're rocking all night long.
Let's Go
Jimmy said he could handle this oh, he's a Nihilist
oh! Jimmy said he could handle this Born and raised in West Los Angeles
Dad's a lawyer, Mummy's sleep, runs down the family can't ya see, One thing

demanded, Lived your life and thought handled it Let the dying shorten

As One
War between races War between lies War between
something that was deep inside You was wrong all along I was right you
lied u to the n to the ity Straight down too late can it kick the feeling
Looking from the bottom i can't see the ceiling Shots rang out in the oakland
winter can't stand alone you can't stand together No matter what they do
they'll try to drive you what's inside you way down down down The scale
hook the anchor to the gates of hell Once you realize that it was so simple
What you given you can't take with you I asked somebody if if they had
the same vision He said yeah i had the same vision.
Burn
13 red and white stripes flying White for skin
and red for dying Why can't i walk on through And not feel like one is
in hell We don't need no water Let the motherfucker burn.

Gunshot through my heart.
I Am The One
Are you gonna be ready to use it If you hesitate
they'll pursue it Put the gun to the dome no question Now the holy ghost
in question what about the banks When they say go Standing at the top and
can't let go standin' can't take can't take that time When i try sometime
i can't stay high Are you gonna be ready to use it If you hesitate they'll
pursue it Good and evil erme from above Death peace eternal love Bleeding
at the gates and i can't come in Courage that abates a life of sin Sure
that it holds and it holds no others With the lies of the brave and the
kid don't matter.

black and blue The blind leading the blind They told me i was dumb They
said their security system was too big to outrun I broke away and im never
goin' back For all the souls they broke Mine never cracked.
St. Mary
she's got a ticket and she's waiting at the station
she's got to get away as far as she can Her problems will arise as sure
as the sun shine she's got to get used to living on the lam Now mary's
out 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 trouble
She said this is the 90's i'm gonna be alright She took the greyhound into
salinas I got a letter that she dropped out of sight Shrouded in anger
encompassed by pain He was you best friend and you will never see him again.

Motorcycle Ride
If you wanna make a move then you better come in
It's just the ability to reason that wears so thin Living and dying and
the stories that are true The secret to a good life is knowing when your
through Sarah ceased existing long before she died A fifth of bourbon and
a motorcycle ride go If you wanna make a move then you better come in It's
just the ability to reason that wears so thin If you wanna make a move
then you better come in It's just the ability to reason that wears so thin
Sarah ceased existing long before she died A fifth of bourbon and a motorcycle
ride go.
Name
You don't know my name man you don't know my name
Paint a number on my head work me 'til im dead I can't believe i've wasted
all these years i've tasted A million days and nights 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 all the
unions gettin' smaller A million nights and all the pain and struggle All
for what i ask all the hate and trouble.
7 Years Down
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 haze off the haze who's the opposition i'm
7 years down The human spirit prevails i'm going down down down Woke up
in the bushes on tuesday morning With a unopened heineken a head that was
burning For 7 years i walked the same road.
