Slow Motion Riot
What have we here storm before calm. Strung
out on fear so pass me the napalm Break Bread with me before it is stolen
Sleep with one eye open silence is golden Life a magazine Death a Reality
Drug dealer heroes thug celebrities Rush hour gridlock may seem drastic
An open road compared to drug traffic Starving to death on a Quaalude diet
Living in a Slow Motion Riot Concisness it has been gagged and bound Better
make your last confession The worlds doing its best impression Of a ship
with nowhere to go but down Skyscraper fantasies Ghetto realities Dreams
watered down like softcore pornography Watch your step gang related death
Funeral day wonder whos next Crime is the standard built up Immunity Only
care if itís our community Smokescreen safety canít trust the Government
In this world hell seems heaven sent Were in a Slow Motion Riot Life a
Fantasy Death Reality Life a Quarantine Death a courtesy Life a Brevity
Death Finality Life a foul disease Death a Remedy.
Could This Be
Could this be happening to me A dream come true
just call me lucky You always taught me to believe This is the way you
always said that it could be So now Iím thanking you You always understood
me And I still talk to you And I know that youíre still listening Could
this be happening to you You go through life without a dream inside of
you You say there is nothing you can do So sit and rust and let your life
slip right by you I canít force you to enjoy your life Nor can I endorse
your glass half-empty state of mind Play the victim its all you seem to
do If you donít chase your dreams no one will chase them for you You could
have anything (anything) You have anything you want You could have everything
(everything) But instead you choose to rust And Iíve had enough.
Hit You Back
Condition Critical its getting physical Why does
it have to be this way You think you have a droit license to exploit Authoritative
right of way We wonít stay frozen by the oncoming headlights We wonít be
beaten inside out by parasites You taunt us and we will fight back Donít
think were scared of you and will not react Count on a counterattack I
promise if you hit us we will hit you back If what goes around always goes
around The circles nearly complete As we bid adieu a little gift for you
Our reciprocity Eye for an eye Hand to hand We see your jibes And raise
you our clenched fists If you steal our daily bread Weíll make sure you
choke on it We wonít be intimidated by half-wits and idiots We wonít be
charmed by any two-face hypocrites We know how you think You underestimate
us Push us past the brink And weíll be sure to take you down with us Sorry
folks the partyís over Parting gifts are at the door The culprits have
been unmasked You hit us weíll hit you back.
Fight Of Your Life
Patience breathe slowly Keep ëtil the pain subsides
i'll try not to make you laugh Because I know it hurts so bad Stricken
without warning No portent No tell tale signs Silent laying half alive
With angels weeping at your side Hope you wore your riot gear your in for
the Fight of Your Life Best you wear your finest suit You may need some
makeup tonight Your eyes tell me that youíre not through and youíll battle
through this plight Better do all you can do cause one things true youíre
in for the fight of your life Slowly count backward anything to clear your
head Waiting for an outcome Unending sadness makes you numb Search for
a religion Itís as close as youíll ever get Paling fingers intertwined
God how could you be this unkind Searching deep inside for some safe sanctuary
Try to believe what I told myself were lies Hoping you might end up in
some better place But no afterworld renders this pain justified I can't
let you leave I wont let you go I can't put our friendship on loan You
can't go this fast How will we write your epitaph Too many words to fit
on one headstone This is the Fight of Your Life.
If We Quit
Iím breaking down because were breaking up Sometimes
too much is still less than enough My soul is bleeding I canít just quit
you We said forever My hearts still beating Iím telling you if we quit
now we both lose Itís sad but true If we quit now we both lose Iím warning
you if we quit now we both lose We won't We won't lose We started strong
but somehow came up lame We saw we conquered too bad we never came The
conversations we held in future tense Now I wonder if weíll bother to end
our sentences Some people spend their lives wishing for what weíve got
So darling please donít make this time we spent all for not I know that
sometimes I can make you feel so crazy Sedate me if it makes things better
But maybe what you need is a little insanity We could howl at the moon
together.
Send In The Clowns
White power synonym for coward Hope you enjoyed
your stay This is your final hour Terminated lease Cut off like deadweight
Good bye and good riddance to you And to all of your hate Hate crime the
product of weak minds Undernourished thought its ignorance defined Sheep
in wolves clothing Bred from self loathing You only hate them because you
hate yourself Your crippled followings a tattered hand me down Iíll try
not to crack a smile as you send in the clowns You can reminisce about
the days when you felt proud But donít look now cause your white worlds
turning brown (Burning Down) See through never will I be you Barking at
a world that doesnít even see you Fading from our sights Like a failing
religion Preaching to empty peuhs Weíll never listen You hate Yourself
and blame everyone else That void youíre hearing now is the sound of silence
As the muzzle mutes you and your shameless nonsense It was not nice meeting
you and the pleasure wasnít mine Hope I never see you sometime Goodnight
white pride of lions Your kind is quickly dying On the verge of your extinction
Funeral with no distinction Goodnight white pride of lions Your kind is
quickly dying We hope you enjoyed your stay We can not tolerate your hate.
Survive
Iím gonna put it to you like this I donít want
this to come to fists But the bottom line is that youíve reached the top
of my shit list Two trains on the same track and you can bet you and I
we are going to bang heads Friendship unraveling like yarn through we share
a common thread I know your not blind so why cant you see The curtain that
has been drawn between you and me A friendship that has eroded with time
like a mountain into the sea You wanted to make your dreams a reality But
your reality is now a dream Are you the person that you really want to
be Or a fraction of the friend who once knew me Done more harm than you
could ever afford Open your heart and youíre sure to find more In life
than you can find at a local liquor store Your personality has been seduced
By chemicals you over abuse Youíre in a tailspin and there is nothing you
can do Your shenanigans used to amuse me But ive grown tired of your tomfoolery
This running joke is way past its prime and way past decency A vodka tonic
a day will keep the memory away Yore not conscious when you are awake Drink
and drive donít care who dies Motherfucker youíve been risking lives You
could be the one who wonít Survive.
Judge & Jury
Why must you insist on constant analysis Why can
you just get over it Got a mind of my own I can not be your clone Ive got
my own road to follow Donít try to change my ways Donít try to twist my
fate Donít try to program me or censor the words I say Donít humor me and
then secretly disapprove Cause it will only turn me off and against you
Donít try to be my judge and jury Donít try to pass sentence on me Donít
try to be my judge and jury Donít try to pass sentence on me Your endless
scrutiny will cause my mutiny Your rule Your reign is past my warranty
Hereís where I make my stand you never stood a chance I will not do that
song and dance Try and make me over now Youíll drag us both down Somewhere
neither of us wants to be Respect how I live my life And i'll consider
your advice Cause it will mean so much more to me.
Crack
Weíve had enough of you And your do as we say not
as we do Where the hell do you get off Thinking your better than us Who
are you to make the rules The same rules you always abuse Your someone
weíll never trust Weíll respect you when you respect us We will thrive
while were alive Nobodyís going to bring us down Weíll bend but never break
You canít take us You cant make us quit Never falter Never Fail Weíve got
the will to fight The future is ours to take You canít break us You canít
make us Cracks in this armor hard to find Search all you want but your
wasting your time No weak link No Achilles heel Just a burn weíll make
you feel Formed from ire and angst A deep resentment coming of age Donít
look now but here it comes The revolution has now begun There is nothing
you can say or do Weíll anticipate your every move You can do or you can
die just stay out of the way If you must try to fuck with us than you know
this now We will make you pay.
Simpler Days
Growing up at a hundred miles per hour Relentless
pursuit of absolute power Engines of progress full steam ahead Ranting
and raving while being force fed Deafening sounds of machines humming Fury
and pace of people running Endless noise of the blood pumping clock Flash
of the lights pulsating nonstop Tear down these walls Its progress we can
have it all Infrastructure falls Its progress thatís what we call it Traditions
are erased Gone without a trace Take me back to simpler times and simpler
ways Simpler Days Round and round spinning our wheels Into the ground the
grinding of the drills No time for family No time for rest Got to work
quick make the world a mess Relief is nowhere to be seen Foreclosure of
the American dream Domino theory takes hold Our future has been bought
and sold Biding our time Our chances slip away Being done in By devices
we create Twisting-Turning resources burning for our conveniency Pulling-Ripping
out stitching that fuses our families Fighting-lying we are dying harm
that cannot be undone Breaking-Bending hereís the ending were writing our
own requiem.
Never Forget
Iím thinking back to all the good times we shared
Through and through no closer two I always looked up to you I donít know
how or when everything could have gone so wrong That you could feel so
sad You couldnít carry on I canít believe this is true I always loved and
adored you What happened where was I How could I let you die I know I could
have saved you I canít believe it actually could come to this For once
in your life couldnít you have missed And though I know there was nothing
I could have done Deep inside I still feel I let you down Best friend I
ever had This ending isnít right When I spoke to your dad He told me that
those were the best days of your life I would give anything for a chance
to rewind Roll back the hands of time to save a friend of mine Deep inside
I regret I never will forget.
You Can't Lose
Thereís so many corridors for you to explore Just
when you think youíve seen it all you find something more Always one more
aisle to pursue in this department store Just be sure you donít forget
to purchase what you came for Take a look around do you like what you see
A vast ocean of opportunity You can always make a change if your view does
not suit you So many splendid paths from which to choose You canít lose
Stumbling through the world one day I met a man of depth He was kind and
spoke wisely this is what he said For what itís worth lifeís worth the
wait Try to sample life from many plates Paint your life use palates with
many paints And in gold youíll be worth your wait Lose sight of yourself
for a while And act foolishly just like a child Make sure you live your
life out of style Break free from the rank and file An endless storybook
always another page And each chapter can end the way you choose Youíve
been cast the leading role and your whole lifeís a stage Experience is
the one thing you canít lose You canít lose If you never try youíve already
died So you better try Iím telling you no matter what you do You canít
lose.
Count On Me
Every time I look around I see the faces that make
me proud When Iím with you I feel so free My friends and family So much
I want to say to you With all the shit that weíve been through You know
I wouldnít change a thing Itís a part of life A way of growing You show
your support you believe in me My friends and Family Without you who would
I be When I get down youíre there for me My friends and Family Iíd die
for you as you would die for me I know youíd die for me Love, Respect,
and Loyalty These are things that youíve shown me I can only hope that
you can see How much youíve meant to me I promise you I will always be
here for you when you need me In any weather through thick and thin From
any weather through thick and thin From beginning to end I will be here
friend You know you can count on me.
Wounds
Paranoid am I an android A checker in a game of
chess Out of place Iím from outer space better than being a pawn I guess
I am deep in thought but not having any deep thought I am frayed Always
beg to differ but never make a difference itís not ok Why does this feel
so empty Why do I feel so numb Why do the days all seem to come undone
Unsung Gladly I sit with Boo radley even he speaks in tongues to me The
cupboards bare why do I even care the entire worlds greek to me I will
play along but Iím longing to be played out Iím afraid I am lonely even
when Iím not alone in Disarray Not asking for a handout Not asking for
rewards I know there must be something more Something more Pseudo Panacea
this wound wonít heal A faux antiserum this wound will never heal Anti
Antiseptic this cut wont fucking heal I have a hole in my soul a hole that
needs filled.
It's Your Move
Whatever makes you happy Whatever makes you tick
Whatever makes the days that you pass through Seem worth it Whatever makes
you feel like youíre in place Whatever makes your burdens lose their weight
Whatever makes you feel like you belong Whatever makes you strong Itís
up to you Do whatever you want to do Just be sure you follow through Whatever
makes you feel alright Whatever gets you through the night Whatever puts
its arms around you Whatever makes you smile Whatever makes your daily
battles seem worth while Whatever makes you feel like your time is well
spent Whatever causes you to be content Whatever helps you to erase your
doubts Whatever makes you proud You are your best critic your best defense
Itís you and no one else So take charge of your choices and your life Take
charge of yourself.
