Among the Living
|
|
Disease, Disease Spreading the disease With some help from Captain Trips He'll bring the world down to his knees Power, yes Power He'll show them all his power It pulses through his ice cold blood A whole world to devour He's seeing, He's calling His legacy, He's spawning He's coming, corrupting Among the living Murder, Murder Commit cold blooded murder Like Nazis during World War Two They only follow orders Hatred, Hatred A crucifix is your bed Once he turns his eye on you You'd be better off dead He's seeing, He's calling His legacy, He's spawning He's coming, corrupting Among the living I am the walkin' dude I can see all the world Twist your minds with fear I'm the man with power Among the living Follow me or die Man, fights Man Divided they can't stand United they can battle back And make him force his hand Fear, yes Fear His end is growing near He didn't count on man's good faith And their will to persevere He's seeing, He's calling His legacy, He's spawning He's coming, corrupting Among the living I am the walkin' dude I can see all the world Twist your minds with fear I'm the man with power Among the living Follow me or die Fire, hot Fire Purge the world with fire Damnation is the price he'll pay For an evil man's desire Good, vs. Evil The stand to vanquish evil Man can only live one way That place right in the middle He's seeing, He's calling His legacy, He's spawning He's coming, corrupting Among the living I am the walkin' dude I can see all the world Twist your minds with fear I'm the man with power Among the living Follow me or die Among |

Caught in a Mosh
|
|
Why don't you listen to me when I try talk to you Stop thinking of yourself, for just a second fool Shut up, shut up, I don't wanna hear your mouth Your mother made a monster, now get the hell out of my house Can't stand it for another day I ain't gonna live my life this way Cold sweat, my fists are clenching Stomp, stomp, stomp, the idiot convention Which one of these words don't your understand? Talking to you, is like clapping with one hand What is it? - Caught in a mosh Don't tell me how to do my job There's the door, your name's on the knob You're always in the way, like a beast on my back Were you dropped as a baby, cause brains you lack What is it? - Caught in a mosh Think - before you speak Or suffer, for your words Learn, to give respect That others, give to you The best you can do Hey Man, I'm trying to reason but you don't understand Talking in circles, we'll never get it straight Just you and me in our theatre of hate |

I Am the Law
|
|
Fifteen years in the academy He was like no cadet they'd ever seen A man so hard, his veins bleed ice And when he speaks he never says it twice They call him Judge, his last name is Dredd So break the law, and you may wind up dead Truth and justice are what he's fighting for Judge Dredd the man, he is the law Drokk It With his gun and bike he rules the streets And every perp he meets will taste defeat Not even Death can overcome his might Cause Dredd and Anderson, they won the fight When the Sov's started the Apocalypse war And Mega-City was bombed to the floor Dredd resisted, and the judges fought back And crushed the Sov's with their counter-attack Drokk It Respect the badge - he earned it with his blood Fear the gun - your sentence may be death because... And you won't fuck around no more - I Am The Law I judge the rich, I judge the poor - I Am The Law Commit a crime I'll lock the door - I Am The Law Because in Mega-City... In the cursed earth where mutants dwell There is no law, it's just a living hell Anarchy and chaos as the blood runs red But this would change if it was up to Dredd The book of law is the bible to him And any crime committed is a sin He keeps the peace with his law-giver Judge, jury, and executioner Drokk It Crime - the ultimate sin Your Iso-Cube is waiting when he brings you in Law - it's what he stands for Crime's his only enemy and he's going to war |

Efilnikufesin (N.F.L.)

It started back in high-school So cool, king of the scene You found that making people laugh Was more than just a dream The public took right to you Like flies to a pile of shit So funny and smart so talented But success just couldn't fit Wasting your life No future is bright Dancing on your grave Living like a slave, someone should've said... N.F.L., Efilnikufesin N.F.L. N.F.L., Efilnikufesin N.F.L. Wake up dead, in a plywood bed six feet from the rest of your life And when you couldn't see your own dependency N.F.L., nice fucking life! The whole world is your playground Yet you can't find your niche Your only friends it helps you through Helps you dig your daily ditch The bottom line can't touch you Cause you're above the rest But your little friend's the enemy And the bottom line is death Wasting your life No future is bright Dancing on your grave Living like a slave, someone should've said... N.F.L., Efilnikufesin N.F.L. N.F.L., Efilnikufesin N.F.L. Wake up dead, in a plywood bed six feet from the rest of your life And when you couldn't see your own dependency N.F.L., nice fucking life! You lived a life of excess Goddamn shame it's such a waste Just one too many cookies From the batch no one should taste Yet his memory still stays with us Cause watching him was fun Too bad things weren't different Who knows what he'd have done Wasting your life No future is bright Dancing on your grave Living like a slave, someone should've said... N.F.L., Efilnikufesin N.F.L. N.F.L., Efilnikufesin N.F.L. Wake up dead, in a plywood bed six feet from the rest of your life And when you couldn't see your own dependency N.F.L., nice fucking life! |

All American, an evil game of extortion A sick old man, and who would guess He was once S.S.

Any skeletons, and all your other sins Any skeletons in the closet Any skeletons, any misfortunes Any skeletons, Hiding in the closet Any skeletons, Any skeletons In the closet It's insanity, puppetmaster boy or Nazi Apt pupil, he hears the screams Nightmares turn into wet dreams Hatret lives, boiling inside, dealing death it's bumicide In too deep, their secret stands but it won't keep Tell me a story - Will ya, Will ya A real good story, I won't leave till ya Spill your guts old man Leave out any secrets, Hiding in the ... Any skeletons, and all your other sins Any skeletons in the closet Any skeletons, any misfortunes Any skeletons, Hiding in the closet Any skeletons, Any skeletons In the closet The truth comes out, conspiracy there is no doubt His life is ruined, but no not yet He's still got one card in the deck A loaded gun, a happy smile, he'll scope the freeway for awhile King of the world, four hundred rounds it took five hours to bring him down Tell me a story - Will ya, Will ya A real good story, I won't leave till ya Spill your guts old man Leave out any secrets, Hiding in the ... Any skeletons, and all your other sins Any skeletons in the closet Any skeletons, any misfortunes Any skeletons, Hiding in the closet Any skeletons, Any skeletons In the closet |

We all see black and white When it comes to someone else's fight No one ever gets involved Apathy can never solve Forced out - Brave and mighty Stolen land - They can't fight it Hold on - To pride and tradition Even though they know how much their lives are really missin' We're dissin' them... On reservation A hopeless situation Respect is something that you earn Our Indian brother's getting burned Original American Turned into, second class citizen Forced out - Brave and mighty Stolen land - They can't fight it Hold on - To pride and tradition Even though they know how much their lives are really missin' We're dissin' them... On reservation A hopeless situation Cry for the Indians Die for the Indians Cry for the Indians Cry, cry, cry for the Indians Love the land and fellow man Peace is what we strive to have Some folks have none of this Hatred and prejudice Forced out - Brave and mighty Stolen land - They can't fight it Hold on - To pride and tradition Even though they know how much their lives are really missin' We're dissin' them... On reservation A hopeless situation Cry for the Indians Die for the Indians Cry for the Indians Cry, cry, cry for the Indians Territory, it's just the body of the nation The people that inhabit it make its configuration Prejudice, something we all can do without Cause a flag of many colors is what this land's all about We all see black and white When it comes to someone else's fight No one ever gets involved Apathy can never solve Forced out - Brave and mighty Stolen land - They can't fight it Hold on - To pride and tradition Even though they know how much their lives are really missin' We're dissin' them... On reservation A hopeless situation Cry for the Indians Die for the Indians Cry for the Indians Cry, cry, cry for the Indians |

One World

Stop it There's been too much debate We could save ourselves from holocaust Or is that just our fate Start now But we continue to balk We let the genie out of the bottle But we still hold the cork One, two - not Three, four - die One, two - not Three, four - die Ignorance, is no excuse For violence No one wins... One world One world One world - Welcome to it One world - Don't abuse it One world - To live out your life One world - Total schism Tunnel vision One world - Taming the beast Fighting for peace Killing You pushed a button that's all you did It's much harder to kill a man If you've seen pictures of his kids Responsibility And what are all our lives worth ? What kind of sentence would you serve For killing the earth One, two - not Three, four - die One, two - not Three, four - die Ignorance, is no excuse For violence No one wins... One world One world One world - Welcome to it One world - Don't abuse it One world - To live out your life One world - Total schism Tunnel vision One world - Taming the beast Fighting for peace Russians They're only people like us Do you really think they'd blow up the world They don't love their lives less America Stop singing hail to the chief Instead of thinking S.D.I. He should be thinking of peace One, two - not Three, four - die One, two - not Three, four - die Ignorance, is no excuse For violence No one wins... One world One world One world - Welcome to it One world - Don't abuse it One world - To live out your life One world - Total schism Tunnel vision One world - Taming the beast Fighting for peace One world |

It's just to damn easy, to die in this life Who's making the decisions ? Tell me, who's got the right ? Woh, oh, oh, my grief turns to anger Woh, oh, oh, it's time to ... Say good-bye, it's a horror Memories, nothing's harder I know that there's no answer, I mean what'd I expect So many unanswered questions I can't believe, I can't accept Woh, oh, oh, my anger turns to hatred Woh, oh, ah, oh, It's time to ... Woh, oh, oh, the horror of it all The horror of it all, I'm gonna break The horror of it all, tell me why You're not supposed to question, but why's there so much pain When someone's taken from you What can you do or say ? Woh, oh, oh, My hatred turns to violence Woh, oh, ah, oh, It's time to ... Say good-bye, it's a horror Memories, nothing's harder Woh, oh, oh, the horror of it all The horror of it all, I'm gonna break The horror of it all, tell me why The horror of it all The horror of it all The horror of it all The horror of it all Say good-bye, It's such a horror My memories there's nothing harder Anger and hatred fill the page So smash the walls it's time to rage |

Imitation of Life

There's nothing I hate more, than all these plastic people With all their plastic promises, and all their plastic deals They just can't be themselves, and live their own lives out They're just an imitation of what life's all about "Because of me you are who you are So sign your name, and you'll go far I'm your friend, I think you should So sign your name, it's for your own good" How many times have you heard this today? Some bogus piss-on saying "Let's do lunch babe" For them this bullshit, it's their whole life Cut through their bullshit with a knife Imitation of life Oh, oh, oh Anger burns Whatever happened to the guy I knew A media creation, a monster grew Our story had an unhappy end But this could change, I still call him friend "Take my advice, listen to me A great opportunity, can't you see I only want what's best for you The deal of a lifetime, what more can I do" How many times have you heard this today? Some stupid sucker says "It's great, we luv ya babe" For them this bullshit, it's their whole life Cut through their bullshit with a knife Imitation of life Oh, oh, oh Anger burns Bands dress like women, with hairspray and lace I'd pass an image law, stick it in their face Let's see how long they keep dressing this way Wearing this image twenty four hours a day... Did you ever think for yourself? Just once, did you ever think? That's all I want to know Imitation of life, living out a lie You'll never be right, imitation of life Why are you here? You're taking up my space The new imperfect race, imitation of life Oh, oh, oh Anger burns Whatever happened to the guy I knew A media creation, a monster grew Our story had an unhappy end But this could change, I still call him friend There's nothing I hate more Than all these plastic people With all their plastic promises And all their plastic deals They just can't be themselves And live their own lives out They're just an imitation Of what life's all about Imitation of life |
