Ever heard a song??.. it was cool, your toes were twinkling, you heart was pounding,
your nostrils made a periodical movement of 10Hz, you saw everybody singin' hoppin'
droppin' except you...the big lamer...cauz you didn't know the lyrics.
If yer luckee ye can buy thee the ceedee...and most of the time the lyrics are in sum
small booklet...but sumtimes it isn't (ashamed??) Besides, who wants paper... we're
living in tha information era, the world is one big web which will catch us one day
or the next..so we want the lyrics in a digital and readable state... SO ENJOY!
Millencolin
Millencolin is one of the coolest bands around...these Swedish dudes know how to keep
skanking... Great tunes, lyrics and oh la la.. I got the lyrics of 3 of their albums.
Of course the great one 'Tiny Tunes'/'Same Old Tunes' and
what about 'Life on a Plate'

Tiny Tunes / Same Old Tunes
Mr. Clean
Mr. Clean tell me is that really you I wonder what you've done to become so big and dumb but i know you can change your lifestyle once again. It's cool to be clean if you know what i mean when i gave you my favorite Chiquita shirt I gave it to a guy who is cruel to everyone he meets and who shows the world he's incomplete Mr. Clean tell me is that really you i wonder what you've done to become so big and dumb Last time we met you beat me up that was no surprise though i miss the days when you were nice It's hard to believe that you don't owe me shit I'm well aware of what is yours and where to draw the lines at least i have the right to write anything i think is right Looking back at the days when we were friends together as one we followed all the trends but now a friend is less worth than a neggy trend.
Chiquita Chaser
Maybe just because i was newly washed like Brandon Walsh you took notice of me you thought i was a rockstar some gangster or a bowlingstar i don't believe you babe
You're not the only one who think i am a chiquita dude well i'm afraid i'm not that rude
I took you to the A-house and even to the punkpalats those trips made you throw up and after a few nights you took off to the holm of asps that's where you belong
When it comes to you it's hard to have a open mind so i just have one advice say...
Walt Jabsco, Walt Jabsco now that's what i call rude he's the man he's a superdude.
Disney Time
Puffin' again so happy with his friends he can dance even in his car straight guys should know whatever is on his mind he's got a reason for every season
Scared to be smart so far he's everything if you're laughing he is laughing too just don't let him begin 'cos in the end he'll win he's got a reason
Hole in his head you always tried to never be lied to now you understand that he's not your friend. High class my ass you always tried to never be lied to now you understand that you have seek someone else what's wrong with someone overweight big surprise he's coming after you with a reason.
Dreamin' again but he's not asleep his eyes are open starin' at you reads your mind through his pipe and then he tells you what he's got a reason.
Domestic Subway
You've got so many things going your way today but still you are lonely and no one listens to the things that you say depresson is a lesson that you really gotta hold on to or is it fucked up anyway for you.
You've got so many things to say but that won't help you anyway because you're messed up and you're lost on other peoples thoughts.
Tough situation you believe that you're afraid of yourself you're looking around for directions and clues but you should look somewhere else 'cause somewhere inside you you can find the strength that you're searching for or is it fucked up anyway for you
Do it for yourself today you have got to find a way so do it for yourself.
Fazil's Friend
One day slackin' with no one doing nothing the best way that i can searching thru records looking for that hero song i take my slippers and put them on in my bed i spend most of my time way to tired to write down a clean rhyme i say that bedskating is cooler when the trucks are on please tell me am i right or wrong? Fazil's friend is here to let you know what it's like when you wanna be the o.s. slackin' on the phone or slackin' all alone i'll be nr one when i turn o.s. hila zako hasara kwangu don't know what it means but it's your job to find out call me up when you've gotsomething bad to say and i will listen in my own way try to be someone the best way that i can bothering no one only what's inside me.
Leona
We lost our luggage we lost our smiles we've been the melancholy brothers so many times and when we went down to a unknown club she did the best she could to cheer us up
Leona said we could go for free, Leona was so pretty indeed.
Infected by Madonna she was nr one haven't met a girl this clean in a long long time damn we had to leave i swear we had no choice but one thing to remember is her tiny voice.
Sometimes when you're all alone you're not expecting much from anyone maybe that's the reason why she was so lovely to me but if i get a super job then i will work work really hard to get some money and go somewhere and find a girl like her.
House of Blend
I haven't much to say today because the nowhere album's on thinking too much about tomorrow and the inspiration's gone the good times the bad times seem to be the same when i'm doing something my mind is always somewhere else all the talk about the one day plan hasn't got to me only my memories can make me feel free.
Anything i can do anything in the house of blend is where i find my energy
I'm too occpied with my own dreams a numskull in a bed you tried to dissapoint me with the things you said but not now i'm busy maybe in a month wake me up and fill my empty mind with doubts.
Give me something to hate 'cause i can't go on hating me. give me someone to blame and tell me there's nothing wrong with me eject me if you can reject me if i come again consciousley i will run into more fun.
Da Strike
You strike get pissed that is just the way it is use your nose to the melancholy funk sound we are just a couple of local bowlers hangin' out tonight leavin' all the girls behind.
So what's a girl compared to a perfect game i guess a lot if you find the right one if i had to choose between a bowl and you i'm not tellin' you you're taking it the wrong way
I love the feeling that i get when i strike thats the only time i feel alive don't need you babe just need to strike i love the feeling that i get when i strike
You are in trance when you slick into the area you pass the sa when you're taking off your pumas the way we bowl is cleaner then the other styles it's pro but they say we're doin' it the wrong way.
So i guess you must be crazy to be bowlin' like we do it's cool we're doin' it our own way no fools no girls just the rude boys from the south kickin' it slickin' it trickin' it again.
Yes thats right bowlin' is allright the only time i feel alive is when i'm hangin' at the A-house that's right pass me those shoes i'm ready for the perfect game so watch me shoot.
If you get upset and you don't understand it's quite allright just follow your instincts physical activity is the way to free your mind so get on your feet and bowl to the funky beat.
Mystic Reptile
You say that most things in life is for free but i doubt you can be so stupid that you never see. I say that you and i will never be the same but you you never listen to what i have to say so take my piece if advice always be nice.
And you always said I'm sorry i wonder why you always felt so sorry.
You always lie and never do talk clean you say that i am such a fake.
I never asked you to ever be with me i hope that you can see what you have changed me to I'll never smile again I'll never talk to you I hope that you can see that i don't wnat you here that i don't want you
And you never said i'm sorry I wonder why you never say i'm sorry.
Dance Crane
I'm in the bar when i should be in front of you i play the pinball when i really should be skanking it doesn't matter how many times you ask me up i appreciate it but it's complicated i just can't dance baby i just can't loose myself
I've got an image and i have to live up on to the latest trend so nowdays I'm macho and have you ever seen a macho shake or twist his butt i know your not so i'm not lickin' in on the spot 'cause i can't dance baby i just can't get in trance.
Someone told me bad boys don't know why they not dancing someone told me what they say is their only way to slip away.
The Einstein Crew
Do you know about the Einstein crew? Do you know what they do? They're always drinking never thinking just looking for someone they can take and beat down they say they hate that guy but when i ask howcome they don't know why they're so damn full of hate but do you think they're smart enough to hate themselves too? So now you got your crew behind and behind you even left your mind come on and step to me. Kick me and i'll kiss your back, after three sixpacks, hope it feels allright,before i get the chance to ask you why you're so messed up do you know about the Einstein crew? I hope you do because they hate you too next they'll be kicking you just because you're smarter then their whole crew some of them were bugging me when i asked them about the history do you really believe these guys they're stereotypes so stereotype but who am i to say who am i to judge who would ever listen to a guy called Fudge. The Einstein crew i could be your role model, one or two got their own pro model, we feel sorry for you, you're one big problem and some day you'll be sorry too.
Take it or Leave it
Not even close to magic and a failure can't be a star take a piece of madness and a bit of mystique pinegals are hard to find can you believe it?Do you wanna believe in nurds? The decicion is easy just follow the yellow birds. Take it or leave it! - the chickenway is here to stay. You better believe it! - so watch for Audeen today. Try to chew a ratnut break a leg and smile wanna be a looser and wanna be odd businessmen don't care to much.

Life on a Plate
Bullion
Twenty one, feeling down I tell you nothing with a thousand words and i weaker get, with every step I waste my money on compact disc's and staly fish I can't remember the last time i did something that made me feel allright longer than a few hours if I only had the strength to make some muffins then i swear that i would share them with you now.
Am i odd or am i not? That's a question i spend time analysing I'm so soft, but still i'm not living up to what people want me to be cause i'm bussy with me, myself and i can't be understood by someone i don't know to well so i'm shutting out the whole world just to play Nintendo I've got these new games but i'm afraid you can't join me.
...These last few years i've been strugglin and i'm tired of keeping low profile so now it's time to show that i'm alive...
I'm gonna change my life, plans, Vans start to dance change my thoughts, sox, moves, even my pro fighter Q.
Olympic
Could it be i'm a lonely one that made everything so upsidedown now could it be all the lies i told that gave nightmares to me after an olympic day you said everything was fine but i saw you through and i knew that i was just as bad as you.
Never said i would give you up but if i must then tell me why now never said i believed in all those things i've heard about you from those rumours now i thought everything was fine but you proved me wrong and i was taken by surprise.
Don't like me, don't like me, don't you know i'm good for nothing, don't like me, was what you told me when i called you up. Don't like me, don't like me, don't you know i'm good for nothing, don't like me, whatever i may say to make you feel that way.
Could it be i'm a lonely one that turned everything so upside down now could it be that you told me that you still loved me that made me change so quickly now I heard me when you called.
Don't like me, don't like me, don't you know i'm good for nothing, don't like me, was what i told you when you called me up, don't like me, don't like me, don't you know i'm good for nothing, don't like me, eventhough inside i know i want you to didn't want to tell you what to do.
Move your Car
When you've been pushed to the side you feel kind of useless it feels like something left inside so do it right this time and leave that stuff behind stop thinking about it, you have to get away right now.
So move your car, i think it's best for you right now, move your car, you have to get on with your life so do it now!
You don't deserve to feel this way cause you're not a loser, you have to clear up your mind and see that it was not your fault and you're not the one to blame, you can put it away now, so take some time to change your life.
I guess thats best for you to move that car it will take some time, but in the end you'll find that you are worth a better life than this.
Killercrush
I wonder what the best thing is to have a face or to have charm? Well, my girl's twofaced and she's a fartalarm i'm not blind and i do have nose, but i don't wanna use it now, I rather try to follow my heart this time good looks, it makes me nervous i need someone who's not perfect.
It's you, you're overweight and lovely, yes it's true, a pig in walking shoes you drool every time we kiss, i must say you rule i'm falling in love with you.
I know that all those trendy girls would leave me when i'm broke and also be disgusted if i smoke, no joke. I don't need a model unless she has a major body.
Just an ounce of human touch, i realize it's a killercrush, I'm dancing, i'm overjoyed. I took a chance on you cause i wanted some romance to and now i'm happy as can be cause this supersized woman means all to me.
Friends 'til the End
First words you say in tears, complaining how i'm never near i know i'm lost sometimes cause i'm grounded in my mind it's like this all the time, first i say you're ok then i go my way and you're desperate, so desperate when you're down.
Here i stand, take my hand and i'll try to understand you right the best way i can, cause after all i am your friend.
Last words you scream to me, you don't expect too much of me cause i could give you anything if i just could be myself. It's like that all the time, first i say that you're ok then i go my way again you're so desperate but still mine.
But now the girl is working, now the girl feels fine and i'm the one who feels down, but if she'll be working until the end of time I hope she'll understand me then, the best way she can cause after all i am her friend till the end.
The Story of my Life
The story of my life, well let's just say it's a fork and a knife there is one thing on my mind, one thing all the time, i got to fill my mouth got no favorite meal, i say every meal is clean if it fills me up for real my belly's big and it's just a start, my appetite is my heart and when i had enough i just through up and laugh.
This time, it's not a cow, it's kind of personal, can't explain to you why this time, it's not a cow, so Mr. PC are you ready to bow.
Breakfast in bed, the bed's in the kitchen so it's easy to be fed and when i'm fed, yes, when i'm fed, i go right back to bed food and sleepwatch, the thing should keep me from having too much sometimes it feels that i could kill for desert.
The story of my life, a big fork and the sharpest knife i guess this solid bridge leads me on to the nearest fridge not a pig, sheep, chicken, moose, duck, snake, horse or a frog.
Jellygoose
You know the times when i'm lost and confused, i lose control, and i find you to abuse, i feel like shit now cause it's getting to me, i treat you like someone i don't wanna be. I talk to myself and say that you're outstanding, then you call me up and i explain how i'm sorry again.
It's not the first time our love seems to be fading, but we're still here and same things we're defending, you leave me now and there will be no happy ending, we can at least try to pretend.
We share my bed when we could share so much more, if we just could talk things out i'd sleep on the floor, i wanna give you all respect that i can it can be hard cause i'm just a boy and not a man you have a point when you suggest it's not that simple, i guess you're right cause there is many things on a plough.
I need a rest right now, from myself and everyone, i got to focus my mind on you, you're the one i love.
Replay
Another fairytale about these enndless feelings and when it's heating up i think i'm stuck forever, i try to lose some weight, i try to get in shape but in the end i always end up lost inside myself.
Up and down gets nothing done, i just keep it waiting round and round out with the thumb, no, i just keep on waiting.
Twelve numbers stare at me, sometimes it's not that easy, instead of waking up i think i'll sleep forever, what happened to the dayroutines that always kept me going? where the hell are all the dreams i had about my life?
... now, but, someday i'll get the time, to get me back on the right track and no more slack, got to keep an open mind, i got to get out of this daily grind and deep inside i know i will.
Vulcan Ears
In a tiny spaceship, with four legs and a pillow and some sheets, that's where my idols always meet, i'd like to be there now.
Trying every night to see a UFO, but in case i don't, just in case i won't i've got my fantasy to lean on.
Vulcan eyebrows, vulcan ears, that's what i dream of, no more sorrow no more tears, can't you get me beamed up? Vulcan logic, vulcan needs, quite bizarre but still a dream as i'm waiting for that beam.
Bullshit is all we talk on this planet we call earth since i'm tired of that i'll take a further step i think i'll find my way in space.
Dr. Jackal & Mr. Hide
On your knees cause you're not wanted, your life is a chaos and you wonder will it ever end, and all these feelings they're not real, keep you down just the way it's planned out today, today you've lost your way.
People grin, behind your back they are talking, they are say you're doing it the wrong way once again all these relations you belived in seem to brake up and it drives you crazy.
Anyday you'll feel ok, your shoes will get you anywhere just be patient cause soon you'll have your fun.
Staying in, hide away from problems, imagination's playing games with you again, it's no illusion, it's just confusion, but when the fog's gone you'll come out strong, there's no time to be feeling down.
Softworld
One step forward two steps back we're the masters of disaster, pillowpride and shumway lies isn't what you expected a solid demon crawls in you, at least that's what they're saying, but we don't care, we're just launging now and got to keep our pinegalic post.
In a softworld, from AMF to earl grey in a softworld, it's softcore, but don't ask me now what it's all about.
Next stop is looking good cause you don't know what it offers the treasurehunt was ment to be something ultra clean munkers say it's not ok cause you're lost in what you're doing but this is it when softcore's lit and we won't change a shit.
Take time to wonder if it's really worth it so many broken kinder legs so many stolen lipton bags do we really give something back.
Buzzer
Take your silly words and listen to yourself, cause i'm living my life tonight and nothing's gonna hurt me, can't you understand that i can be myself without everything, without anything, without any help from you, we're not having fun, we never really laughed, we have to get things before we end ourself.
What about me? Do you care enough to see that i can't live my life this way and that you don't understand? What about me? Am i the one who's going down, cause sometimes i can't find myself and i'm wondering if this is really me?
I remember those days when we first met, how simple things were then, with no heartache and no pain now things change so fast that we must take the time to talk things over and listen to our minds.
Ace Frehley
??Bladebibdoaaw??
Airhead
You think you're not cool cause you know every girl in town, but you don't do, cause when you're out at night they don't look your way, you've got all that trendy shit and a jolly air for brains and you are busy to watch out for that ugly girl you know.
You think girls like that will ruin your style, cause a perfect guy like you need something more you're so cool, you've got everything a girl desire, you're so cool, with a perfect but you can go far.
You're telling me that i am thinking way to small to understand that you have reached your goals and i am far away and all the things you say that you know i don't want to hear, so throw your empty words away and listen to what i say i'm not jellous in all the lies you tell, just take it easy, you might end up in hell, you're so perfect, you've got everything and you are way to cool to understand that you are out of line.
back to millencolin
For Monkeys
Puzzle
Here we are again with another bunch of soft
songs maybe you are wondering why it took us
so long with a schedule tight, studiotime is sight
we have mostly been on touring. Inspiration has
been hard this time and honestly I've had some
problems with all these rhymes.
We're under stress again, but it has always been
that way and once we get it right, then i know it's
there to stay. We're under stress again, but we're
used to all that now It's always tough at first but
somehow we always end up fine.
Third album, less of ska nad not so many fast
ones more of puppy, pushysongs, those that we
do best now. Nine to five at Unisound in January
'97 we had the greatest time, with Dan as
engineer now the outcome is what you hear.
If you're lonely or if you're happy feeling swell or
feeling blue, we might have a tune for you. It;s
about half of an hour, maybe less or maybe more
whatever it might be it's still softcore.
Lozin' Must
When i am lozin' must in a conversation it makes
me use my imagination start to think that they're
after me 'cause I'm as sore as those monkeys
hope. The chat goes on and i feel smaller, the
guys in front of me they get taller when i open my
mouth again to tell them something more they
answer me with a hockeyscore.
Must be strong, can't be wrong or you'll be lozin'
must, you'll be lozin' trust in yourself.
Well, i have this girl and i make her crazy when
i'm gone she's bored and lazy. I get a kick from
pushin' her but i'm not sure about how she feels
about it. My favorite hockeyteam are strugglin' it
makes my stoamch bubblin' bad their hard time
really makes me sad. We had some fucked up
years now it's time to whipe away those tears.
It's been a tough time for me this past year, lots
of questions who i am or what i wanna be. I also
found some answers the fog is gone. I feel better
every day and now the feeling is here to stay.
Random I Am
Every morning, it's a new surprise don't know
who i am before i roll the dice the options is the
only thing that i decide you see, i live for the
moment now I never did before, with all and
everything i sweap the floor random i am, i never
give a damn about what's gonna happen next my
wife and kids they left me and my job is just a
memory but that's the kind of price you've got to
pay if you're gonna go your own way solving
problems can be done in many ways
I don't care, i just roll the dice.It's o.k., 'cause i
just have to pretend that i am someone else.
Get rid of all the habits now that's the plan come
on and try it and you'll feel grand the first step is
the hardest step to take imagination is the only
brake just roll the dice and everything will turn
out nice you can be who you wanna be do what
you wanna do and do it how you like this is my
way of getting through the day, but i still don't
know.
Boring Planet
When i was a kid i thought that i could fly threw
myself out of a window, right out into the sky
now when i am older i know that i could die die
from a depression, i would learn my lesson well.
Life's so normal, nothing's shocking Boring
planet, cause no one here is rocking. Life's so
tragic, nothing's clocking Boring planet cause no
one here is rocking hard.
When i was a kid i thought that i was strong the
girls in school got beaten up by me every day
long now when i am older i know that it was
wrong to deal with girls in the first place, cause a
broken heart is now the case i'm broken hearted
in disgrace.
It's a boring planet, we're just lying to ourselves.
It's a boring planet, thanks to us and no one else.
Monkey Boogie
A snake, a fake, he's lame, he's in the game for
the money and for the fame a spin, a grin, he's on
and then we yawn steals the credit then he's gone
he's the man with a plan and first he'll seem
helpfull to make sure that you're on the hook he's
so full of bull and he sure will pull some strings to
make things go his way everything will go his
way.
We're in the monkey biz the monkey boogie is
nothing new and he'll be doin' the dance with
you.
Humble, mumble, stumble don't think so that is
not the way to go connect, collect, correct, what
did you expect? Did you think that he seriously
cares for you? Do the monkey boogie,
orangu-tango, baboon!
Twenty Two
I'm one year older now since last time i saw you
in case you wanna know, i'm about to say what
i'm up to first of all i'm a sluggard movin' slow in
a clumsy way some peace of mind is what i
want, but that will be the day i've been going with
the flow for too long now, this must end running
'round in circles, i've been so far away from
myself searching for the energy and the time to
make a change in my life instead of watching it
pass by, get something done while i'm alive.
I'm twenty two, don't know what i'm supposed
to do or how to be, to get some more out of me.
I'm twenty two, so far away from all my dreams
i'm twenty two, feeling blue.
I try to activate myself thre best i can so that
boredom won't catch up with me, i've my daily
plan wake up late, then rehearse a bit with the
band, i guess it's cool? Later when i'm home
again i boil a note or two then i go to bed that's
what i do.
Afraid that i will be weak forever i can't stay in
this shape any longer my life's just another cliche.
Black Gold
Can you pass me the black gold? I wanna know
how many shirts got sold I'm gonna beat you in
soccer we bought our Juve-shirts in an Italian
footlocker We saw the real world today poor
swedes were afraid left France behind us broke
some fingers of Magnus'.
Like it or not, I always say that i'd rather go
home like it or not, this time i never wanted to go
home
Ingredients is a big thing we crown Stavanger as
king wanna see more of Moulder at night the bus
is getting colder we saw the real world today did
you know it's in Brussels? Now we hope that
you missed us we'll be home to X-mas.
Wanna see you again someday soon, it'd be
great you're totally o.k. It's over now, it's
December like a friend once said, it's times to
remember.
Trendy Winds
Trendy winds are blowing thru my hair the punk
elite are checking everything i wear I'm tired of
their endless whine, why can't they mind their
own? cause what i am is what i will be.
Don't need you or your crew to tell me what to
think or do everyday when you try to waste my
time i waste a rhyme.
Sometimes i can't understand what's wrong
cause this scene is filled with people who's bad
and nong you're an idiot and loser if you go their
way cause you don't need no one-track crew
now.
Sometimes i can't understand what's wrong to all
you suckers we dedicate this song.
Otis
I remember when this was different than a job
for friendship and for fun, in harmony we got it
done we had a good scene going in our
hometown Pennybride most of those bands are
gone, it can be tough to stand alone so many
times it has been shown.
But it looks good, just as it should feels good,
not for me i can't stay that yet now when you're
filled up with regret if i felt good today you know
what i would stay.
You were my girl until this day i can't understand
you're not anymore more than two years shared
with you all the things that we've been through. In
my memory forever, you'll be there untill i die
and though this is the end, i love you more than
as a friend doesn't matter it's the end.
Everything has it's time and i will sure have mine
so many things that we start almost tear us apart,
eventually everyone has their own way they got
to go so many things that we start with people
who breakes our heart one time, then do the
same to another one.
Lights Out
Looking back in anger, looking back with joy
and laughs don't ask me all those questions,
cause i don't have the answers now i tried to
hold back all my thoughts and all my dreams just
to make things better, i was using myself past my
means.
But all those days are gone and i can't find the
path that i should follow i'm walking unknown
land mile after mile i search the way back to my
mind and i cannot believe how hard it is to find
when i'm down.
I used to make things easy, i used to be a happy
guy but now things seem so different, that i can't
even play the game i got to try to find the way
thru all this now so what i need now, is someone
to read the map cause i don't know how.
I feel ashamed and i'm to blame cause i tried to
be, i tried to see things from my side and i also
bleed, i also need some space it's time to close
this case.
Entrance at Rudebrook
The joy and the pain, it's all in the game but right
now the joy's far away we're gonna take it back
to how it was before now so what if we're last,
so what if we're gone you're waiting for that day,
but i know it won't come we've reached the
bottom and now we're just looking forward.
For twelve years i've been down but i'm not
whining, i'm still smiling and i'm still around every
night.
Every Sunday or Wednesday i'll be there with all
the other folks biting those nails and some of us i
know that we would die for you and maybe you
think it's just cause i have my smartcard but
forget that pal, tell you what we're in it and we're
in it to win it.
So many hours spent in that building and all the
memories divine just a few more seasons, then
we'll be back.
Lowlife
I don't know what to say, cause i don't feel that
good today i don't know what to do, i left my
mind in all that glue if i try to think or if i do
something about this mess then i will find myself
in a situation i can't deal with now my head it
start to pound my thoughts are flying around and
my body hits the ground.
I can't hear a sound and i feel fine i can see
what's wrong i'm alone and strong.
I keep my eyes on you, just to make myself sure
i don't know why i care, cause it makes me feel
so poor and i must try to leave all this stuff
behind me now i feel fine today, but tomorrow, i
don't know what i will say cause my head will
start to pound and my thoughts will fly around
when my body hits the ground.
Then i won't hear a sound and i feel fine i can see
what's wrong i'm alone and strong.

Rancid
Rancid is a great band... although sum songs are a little bit the same old tune, many
songs keep floating in me head and keep there a damn long time... I got the lyrics
of 4 Rancid albums. Of course 'Rancid' and what about
'Let's Go' and '...And Out Come the Wolves
'. I even got 'Life won't wait'. YAHOO!
Rancid
Adina
I want to go where the action is, I wanna fly through the
urban blight
I wanna live like a shadow in the dark and only move at
night
A story bought, a one story house that lets the winter
bleed
21 years old and no money to read
How did she know the roof would cave in over and over
again
Beat up bruised a record that's broken
Adina's crying again
Beat up chevy with a trailer in tow is what they call home
now
One more hill or river to cross on the way to another
town
Crying in her beer and always running away
Maybe not so much running, but hoping for better days
How did she know the roof would cave in over and over
again
Beat up bruised a record that's broken
Adina's crying again
I want to go where the action is, I wanna fly through the
urban blight
I wanna live like a shadow in the dark and only move at
night
A story bought, a one story house that lets the winter
bleed
21 years old and no money to read
How did she know the roof would cave in over and over
again
Beat up bruised a record that's broken
Adina's crying again
Adina's crying again
Hyena
I'm money broke and it's no joke
Can't cope, use the rope this time
Knuckle up, buckle up, the ride's getting rough
But I will not lose my mind
I asked them if I could come in
And the first thing they said was no
If I can't come in, that means I can't come back
I got nowhere to go
I'm a hyena fighting for the lion share
Sometimes the lion share ain't there
I'm a hyena fighting for the lion share
Sometimes the lion share ain't there
Absent from political authority, an animal I've become
Total disorder and confusion is the lifestyle that I run
Permit me to do what I want and I will I'm a nomad to
travel
Concrete glass stone and gravel
I'm a hyena fighting for the lion share
Sometimes the lion share ain't there
I'm a hyena fighting for the lion share
Sometimes the lion share ain't there
Every time I turn around it's the same sad story
Getting ganked I wish it would end
And life's comisary, I'm a bad missionary with a wicked
message I send
If I don't care to use that shit, is that the way what it is
Who could I trust in a world of green?
What I'm taught to take and not give
I'm a hyena fighting for the lion share
Sometimes the lion share ain't there
Sometimes the lion share ain't there

Detroit
I didn't know what time it was when the sun went down
Detroit, mission the bus downtown
Last I was fighting on the street
But tonight I have a girl next to me on this cold world
She brings me heat
I gotta good feeling in a bad city tonite
I gotta good feeling that everything's gonna be alright
Some run, some fight
Detained in illegal custody spent the nite in jail
With a drunken priest and a hooker
$500 bill nobody know who was standing in the street
Like that I hit the ground to make a sound
I gotta good feeling in a bad city tonite
I gotta good feeling that everything's gonna be alright
Some run, some fight, I gotta good feeling in a bad city
tonite
Bus dropped me off and I had to cough
I couldn't breath cuz I got ripped off
I couldn't realize by being satisfied cuz it runs so thin
And that's why I'm pissed off
We had no money, we had no time
She had the champagne, I had the cisco wine
She said "do you want to come, you better hurry
Because we'll have hell to pay
I gotta good feeling in a bad city tonite
I gotta good feeling that everything's gonna be alright
Some run, some fight, I gotta good feeling in a bad city
tonite
Rats in the Hallway
Knock, knock come in if you want to fight, I'm gonna win
I'll take you out in a minute
Step in my flat see what's in it
I live in the land of the welfare state
My flat used to be section p
Now it's a rat infested cocaine run
My whole world plays like a broken drum
Drunken bum
Rats in the hallway again
Set up get put go away & ride away
Sit up our bed up your bed to lay
Kick up our rip up this place apart
Even when I finish I'm back at the start
I'm out of line on adeline st. heat
Don't keep this crooked beat
4 a.m. no waves breakin'
What's left of the p.m. the a.m. has taken
Outside my gate my crew is drinking a 40 oz.
They asked me if there's still rats in the hallway
I said some things ain't like the weather
They never change for the better
This girl came up to me
She said she would do me no harm
Rolled up her sleave and showed me the tracks on her
arm
I said, "what's your name?" she said "I'm mya"
She said "Tim I wanna take you higher"
Junkie drunken bum
Rats in the hallway again
Zombie walking kid out on his own with no moral
Mr. high leave the body, in comes mr. withdrawal
Pain is the only thing the body will allow
The kid wants to dance, the gangster knows how
Johnny bought some shit down on market st.
Shoot up boot up the human target
He hit the dirty spike when he hit the scene
It's easy to stay dirty when nothing is clean
Johnny's a writer who tags up jackal
Jackel just clamped on unclampable shackles
Rout up shoot up some dope to go like legal currency
It's money it's like that rat tat tat
Kid got shot point blank in the back
My land lord said not to be bumming
He was a cocaine stoop and he had it coming
He was only 12 years old
He was in the blizzard, he got shot for being cold
It don't seem right, tonight hit the lights alright
Watch the roaches run into the darkest room
Junkie drunken bum
Rats in the hallway again
Junkie drunken bum
Rats in the hallway again

Another Night
In the dark with the oakland skyline
As I cross the city I avoid the landmines
All I wanna do is make it through without dyin'
All I wanna do is keep on tryin'
Another night in the streets for me
No sanctuary
Another night, come and watch me bleed
Another night in the streets for me
She wouldn't move until the coast was clear
She always knew the final battle was near
If you got a bag of dope she'll give it up for free
If you got a song of hope it will help her see
Another night in the streets for me
No sanctuary
Another night, come and watch me bleed
Another night in the streets for me
In the dark lookin' up at the skyline
As I cross the city I avoid the landmines
All I wanna do is make it through without dyin'
All I wanna do is keep on tryin'
Another night in the streets for me
No sanctuary
Another night, come and watch me bleed
Another night in the streets for me

Animosity
Break down the fear, I got my animosity
Break down the fear, I got my animosity
I'm gonna break it down
Armegeddon is comin'
So you better start runnin' 'cause the big wave is comin'
to the shore
No surprise that you see thru the lies of the system
that's rotten to the core
High tech surveilance, paranoia & violence, keeping the
city at a calm
Break down, break down, tear it apart
The thing'g going off like a bomb
Break down the fear, I got my animosity
Break down the fear, I got my animosity
I'm gonna break it down
Helicopter's come down on me tonight
My brother's sellin' cocaine, he knows how to fight
Hounded and harrassed, in a power elite bought
Sun ain't arise, so I abide by my route
Break down the fear, I got my animosity
Break down the fear, I got my animosity
I'm gonna break it down
I remember a cold december when I heard the revolution
rock
Didn't hear what they were saying
I ran thru the mayhem of a police state
On my back high tech surveilance
Break down the fear, I got my animosity
Break down the fear, I got my animosity
I'm gonna break it down
I'm gonna break it down

Outta My Mind
You're workin' like a monkey who's been trained by a sick
junkie
On a mission to get money for a new suit and tie
To wear to a reception where they envy your deception
And one compliments and praises to the ones they
despise
Practicing your smile in the mirror
All the while try to cultivate the style of the bastards in
power
I know what they're sellin' cuz their nervous twitch is
tellin'
You're comin' off smellin' like the pig of the hour
I've got a lot of people tellin' me I'm out of my mind and I
don't know why
I've got a lot of people tellin' me I'm out of my mind and I
don't know why
My brain was bleeding and my fingers were proceeding
through a notebook
I was keeping since the dawning of time
Senses were coroaded you know that I was loaded like a
sign
You were dealing
I was reeling from the feeling and the madness was
concealing like a siren song
People that I trusted would surely have me busted if
they ever had a clue
What was really going on
I got alot of people telling me I'm out of my mind and I
don't know why
I got alot of people telling me I'm out of my mind and I
don't know why
I don't know why
You're workin' like a monkey who's been trained by a sick
junkie
On a mission to get money for a new suit and tie
To wear to a reception where they envy your deception
And give one compliments and praises to the ones they
despise
I see you smiling in the mirror
All the while try to cultivate the style of the bastards in
power
I know what they're sellin' cuz their nervous twitch is
tellin'
You're comin' off smellin' like the pig of the hour
I've got a lot of people tellin' me I'm out of my mind and I
don't know why
I've got a lot of people tellin' me I'm out of my mind and I

Whirlwind
Every cities got an artery where the blind breaks down
An avenue or a boulevard and a boy who wears a crown
Indignant life styles implies simply lack of means
Dognatical authoritarians dictate the cities remain
A promise to go to heaven won't put salvation in sight
Whirlwind is coming, whirlwind is coming
A promise to go to heaven won't put salvation in sight
Whirlwind is comin' down on me
When the factory shut down so did the place he lived
Blood money for junk bonds by a white collar fugitive
All the tax free incentives ain't goin' to help him now
Generations of job security gone out like the horse and
plow
A promise to go to heaven won't put salvation in sight
Whirlwind is coming, whirlwind is coming
A promise to go to heaven won't put salvation in sight
Whirlwind is comin' down on me
My old man worked his troubled life in a nowhere dead
end
He drank the pain away, I'll be damned if that's me
having my dreams robbed
The working class carries a country that has been rotting
inside for years
The rigs cuffed my old man in the front yard, I saw
through my eyes of tears
Whirlwind is coming, whirlwind is coming
A promise to go to heaven won't put salvation in sight
Whirlwind is comin' down on me

Rejected
I could not fit in, I was the one who got caught
I was the one who got realized, I was the one who got
dropped
Shut out banished and locked away
The knife that did me in I carry to this day
Rejected, rejected
Crossing bridges in the land of the forgotten
Rejected
I could not fit in, I was the one who got caught
I was the one who got realized, I was the one who got
dropped
Distrust existed that I never saw
Deep seated distrust I was victim of
Rejected, rejected
Crossing bridges in the land of the forgotten
Rejected
Unspoken among the more privelaged or the so-called
I was not good enough, not good enough at all
At first out of loneliness I tried to conform
But all that bullshit just left me all alone
Left me all alone, yeah
Rejected, rejected, rejected, rejected

Injury
Excuse me while I pull a knife out of my back
How could I ever trust a person like that
Alongside the slow is someone moving faster
Behind the warm image is a cold cold bastard
Corporate liberal bullshit
Ruling fucking class take your fucking money and shove
it up your ass
Take your fucking lies, I've had enough of you
Of all the fucking shit that you put me through
I'm injured, injury, yeah yeah, I'm injured, injury
I look for the truth, it's getting hard to find
Money grabbin' dragon and the tie you hide behind
I'm so fucking stupid, with you I was a buyer
I believed in you, you deceiving liar
Excuse me while I pull a knife out of my back
How could I ever trust a person like that
Corporate liberal bullshit
Ruling fucking class take your fucking money and shove
it up your ass
I'm injured, injury, yeah yeah, I'm injured, injury
Set me fucking free
I'm injured, injury, yeah yeah, I'm injured, injury

The Bottle
Climb in, climb in, climb inside of me, pain
Climb in, climb in, climb inside of me, pain
Another night of drinkin'
Another night of being out of my head and I don't know
where I was last night
Drinkin' on an empty stomach or an empty mind
It makes no difference when I'm way out of line
Things I can't remember come back to haunt me
Alot of people out there who seem to want me
Climb in the bottle and never come out
Climb in, climb in, climb inside of me, pain
Climb in, climb in, climb inside of me, pain
I made no nothin' but I'm good at something
I would drink until the sun comes up no more
One of these days gonna come outta my haze
Better hurry up , it's getting harder to come back
Things I can't remember come back to haunt me
Alot of people out there who seem to want me
Climb in the bottle and never come out
Climb in, climb in, climb inside of me, pain
Climb in, climb in, climb inside of me, pain
Climb in, climb in, climb inside of me, pain
Climb in, climb in, climb inside of me, pain

Trenches
1987, at a 7-11, police out lookin' for problems
But I'm no average hoodlum
Still runnin from the pigs so it seems to me
This is not the land of love and liberty
It's more like a waiting room in hell
Drink a quart and watch me dwell
I got it right, out in the trenches tonight
I got it right, out in the trenches tonight
Glass towers rise above the filth and the pain
I'm a moral degenerate feel my pain
Passed out on a squat on a mission
That night I was shocked in to submission
Straight down, straight down to hell I head
System of sewers is where I lay my head
People on their way are like on a different dimension
I need no correction
I got it right, out in the trenches tonight
I got it right, out in the trenches tonight
Some of my friends moved on, a simple domestic life
They're all gone, only a few of us remain
Only a few of us want to keep it the same
Want to keep it the same
I got it right, out in the trenches tonight
I got it right, out in the trenches tonight

Holiday Sunrise
So I packed everthing I owned
Midnight christmas eve, a kid could feel alone
I drink my scotch, my mind goes away
Midnight christmas eve starts out in a way
I cried when I had no shoes till' I met the man with no
feet
It's just a holiday sunrise
I suddenly realized I got no alibis
Holiday sunrise
Relatives of mine said they were born again
Fucked up world has made me born against
I'm a sinner and my soul should be cleansed
I'll take my chances when I'm dead
I cried when I had no shoes till' I met the man with no
feet
It's just a holiday sunrise
I suddenly realized I got no alibis
Holiday sunrise
I cried when I had no shoes till' I met the man with no
feet
It's just a holiday sunrise
I suddenly realized I got no alibis

Unwritten Rules
Kick the kick drum
Increase the weight of the sound
The dialogue of maximum decibles is enough to move
the fucking ground
I'm gonna amplify the rage of a class that's not inferior
The message in the volume this song's a carrier
Unwritten rules, rules understood
Unwritten rules, boomin' out the speakers and amps in
the hood
I like to drink beer play music and go to shows
It's not about paying your dues if you do it out of love
I'm not no jaded junkie runnin' dry
I don't know anything else, I'll be playing until I die
Unwritten rules, rules understood
Unwritten rules, boomin' out the speakers and amps in
the hood
Unwritten rules, rules understood
Unwritten rules, boomin' out the speakers and amps in

Unwritten rules, rules understood

Nihilism
Hey, hey, hey, hey,
Come into the Union district
drive down on Sharmon Palms
White ghettos paint a picture
broken homes and broken bones
I was so full of scotch I could not stand up

Release me from moral assumption

Nihilistic feelings are moving
if you try really hard you'll see right through them
Nihilism, nihilism,

Come into the Union district

White ghettos paint a picture

Walkin' a path of self destruction

Nihilistic feelin's are movin'
If I try real hard I'll see right through them
Nihilism, nihilism, nihilism, nihilism
Nihilism, nihilism, nihilism, nihilism

Never know what a good time was until I had a good
time with you
If you wanna get the feelin' and you wanna get it

Then the music's gotta be loud
For when the music hits I feel no pain at all
You know
Warm summer night I was drinking with my dad
He tried to give me love that I never had
But he gave more love to his bottle of wine
So I had to go out find love of another kind

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 I T Y
Straight down too late can it kick the feeling
Lookin' 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
As one, as one, as one, as one
No matter what they do they'll try to divide you
Fear you up what's inside you way down down down
The scale hook the anchor to the gates of hell
Once you realise that it was so simple
What you're 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
As one, as one, as one, as one, as one, ohhhh, yea
War between races War between lies
War between something that was deep inside
You was wrong all along I was right you lied

Can't stand alone you can't stand together

The Ballad of Jimmy & Johnny
Jimmy and Johnny two friends of mine skinhead
what they clam
Outside similarities but no they don't feel the same
See Johnny thinks Jimmy's a mod and Jimmy
thinks Johnny's a punk
Jimmy listens to ska and Johnny likes last resort
Jimmy and Johnny in the trenches were down
tonight
Drinking guiness smokin' 555�s
Once you're in the middle you feel alright
Skinheads tats and a fred perry
There's a war in the cemetery
Start to fight stop drinking
What the fuck were they thinking
Jimmy and Johnny tell me what you're seein'
Jimmy and Johnny tell me what you're seein'
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Jimmy had his two tone girl back of his scooter that
night
Johnny had a jacked up chevy that could blow you
right off the line
Skinheads tats and a fred perry
There's a war in the cemetery
Start to fight stop the drinking

Harry Bridges
Bloody Thursday was July 6th
The pigs killed three workers
Harry Bridges grabbed the mic
The city shut down on July 6th
The workers were outraged
It was a general strike
The media claimed that the commies
Were taking over and some believed it was true
Three uncompromising strikes paved the way
Minnesota, San Francisco, Toledo
Over and over again
The doors are locked and the windows are broken
Eddie worked for General Motors
He swore he'd never lose his job again
A union man who owned his own home
In beautiful Flint, Michigan
Eddie lost his job and Eddie lost his home
So Eddie lost his self esteem
Last time I saw Eddie
He was living in a trailor park again
Over and over again
The doors are locked and the windows are broken
I believe that Eddie forgave too much too soon
I got a letter about Eddie
It was bad news
Over and over again
The doors are locked and the windows are broken
Black & Blue
Hit it
I started watchin� them all down the line
Keep steppin� and rejectin� all of the time
They try to pull me in
Can't let that happen again
They try to do it again all on me
Sedation throughout the nation
We're screaming. we're screaming,
We're screaming black and blue
Intoxication of a generation
We're screaming. we're screaming,
We're screaming black and blue
The blind leading the blind
They told me I was dumb
They said their security system was too big to
outrun
Well I broke away and I'm never goin� back
For all the souls they broke
Mine never cracked
Sedation throughout the nation
We're screaming. we're screaming, we're screaming
Black and blue
Intoxication of a generation
We're screaming. we're screaming,
We're screaming black and blue
Yeah what you gonna do ahhhh What you gonna do
Sedation throughout the nation
We're screaming. we're screaming,
We're screaming black and blue
Intoxication of a generation
We're screaming. we're screaming,
We're screaming black and blue
Sedation throughout the nation
We're screaming. we're screaming,
We're screaming black and blue
Intoxication of a generation
We're screaming. we're screaming,
We're screaming black and blue
St. Mary
She's got her ticket & she's waitin' at the station
She's got to get away as far as she can
Her problems will arise as sure as the sun does
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
Shootin' down the law that shot down her dear
departed man
When I last saw her she was lookin' troubled
She said this is the 90's I'm gonna be alright
She took the Greyhound into Salinas
I got a letter then she dropped out of sight
Now Mary's out the door with a loaded .44 in her
hand
Shootin' down the law that shot down her dear
departed man
Shrouded in anger
Encompassed by pain
He was your best friend & you'll never see him again
Now Mary's out the door with a loaded .44 in her
hand
Shootin' down the law that shot down her dear
departed man

Gonna run away
Gonna watch it burn in the heart of New York City

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 stay off the haze

The 11th Hour
Hey little sister
Do you know what time it was
When you finally seen all your broken dreams
Come crashing down your door
They demand an answer and they demand it quick
Or the questions fade and the wasted days
Come crawling back for more
And I say: "Do you know where the power lies?"
And who pulls the strings
Do you know where the power lies
I say: "It starts and ends with you"
The face of isolation
Well, that's one you recognize
Well, you can't get straight
It's a lonely place and it's one you do despise
Boredom is for sale now and helplessness you feel
It's a wounded dove and the hawks are above
Blood splattered on a reel to reel
And I say: "Do you know where the power lies?"
And who pulls the strings
Do you know where the power lies
It starts and end with you
I was almost over, my world was almost gone
In a sudden rush I could almost touch the things
that I'd done wrong
My sungle's made of concrete through silence I
could feel
My aim is true and I will walk on through these
mountains made of steel
And I say: "Do you know where the power lies?"
And who pulls the strings
Do you know where the power lies
I say: "It starts and ends with you"
It starts and ends with you
I say:"It starts and ends with you"
Roots Radicals
Took the 60 bus out of downtown Cambell
Ben Zandito he was on there he was waitin' for me
All the punk rockers and the moon stompers are out
on the corners
Where they sparing for change
I started thinkin' you know I started drinkin'
You know I don't remember too much of that day
Somethin' struck me funny when we ran out of
money
Where do you go now when your only 15
With the music execution and the talk of revolution
It bleeds in me and it goes
Give 'em the boot, the roots the radicals
Give 'em the boot, you know I'm a radical
Give 'em the boot, the roots, the reggae on my
stereo
The radio was playin'
Desmon Dekker was singin' on the 49 bus
As we climb up the hill
Nothin' incoming but the reggae drummin'
And we all come from unloving homes
I say: why even bother
I pick up the bottle
Mr. bus driver please let these people on
Rude girl Carol was a mini-skirt girl
My blurry vision saw nothin' wrong
With the music execution and the talk of revolution
It bleeds in me and it goes
Give 'em the boot, the roots, the radicals
Give 'em the boot, you know I'm a radical
Give 'em the boot, the roots, the reggae on my

Olympia WA
Hangin' out with Lars on 6th street
He knew that I was in trouble
I was feeling much like the devil
There was something burnin' deep inside of me
Ran into three Puerto Ricans
These girls took us to the funhouse
Where we played a lonely pinball machine
Hangin' on the corner of 52nd and Broadway
Cars passin' by but none of them seem to be goin'
my way
New York City, well I wish I was on a highway
Back to Olympia...
I'm having a hard time understanding
It gets all too demanding
She's all gone and I'm stranded
Something burning deep inside of me
All I know it's 4'o'clock and
She ain't never showed up and
I watched a thousand people go home from work
Hangin' on the corner of 52nd and Broadway
Cars passin' by but none of them seem to be goin'
my way
New York City, well I wish I was on a highway
Back to Olympia...
How many times will it take me
Before I go crazy
Before I lose everything
Something burning deep inside of me
Ran into three Puerto Ricans
Those girls took us to the funhouse
I don't wanna be alone again.
Hangin' on the corner of 52nd and Broadway
Cars passin' by but none of them seem to be goin'

There's somethin' wrong
But it's comin' real soon
I lock step, I'm gone
I said the feeling isn't fear
There's something wrong
It's just telling you to move
I lock step, I'm gone
There's a fire on the corner and it's never gonna stop
Killer in the neighborhood never got caught
I lock up my door step out and I'm gone
Waitin' for the buses but the buses won't come
All the docks are quiet
There's somethin' wrong
And there's no ships comin' in
I lock step, I'm gone
Where there once was a riot
There's somethin' wrong
There's a whole lot of nothin'
I lock step I'm gone
The stop signs broken and the meters goin'down
Wild dogs are runnin' themselves into the ground
Everything was clear for that moment in time
If I don't come back well throw me a line
The ending isn't here
But it's coming real soon
The feeling isn't fear
It's just telling you to move

When you look back, it's just a flicker of time
Jackyl was one of the one's that
He was one of the one's that was already saved
Through all this evil and wreckage,yeah
He maintained a sense of himself
Jackyl had a beer in his hand last time I seen him
When he rolled the dice, you know he never thought
twice
Never thought twice about being here
Jackyl had a beer in his hand last time I seen him
When he rolled the dice, you know he never thought
twice
Never thought twice about being here
Some men are in prison even though they walk the
streets at night
Other men who got the lockdown are free as a bird
in flight
Jackyl had a beer in his hand last time I seen him
When he rolled the dice, you know he never thought
twice
Never thought twice about being here
Jackyl had a beer in his hand last time I seen him
When he rolled the dice, you know he never thought

Journey to the End of the East Bay
Reconcile to the belief
Consumed in sacred ground for me
There wasn't always a place to go
But there was always an urgent need to belong,
yeah
All these bands and all these people, all these frieds
and we were equals
But what you gonna do when everyone goes on
without you
To the end, to the end, I'll journey to the end
To the end, to the end, I'll journey to the end
To the end, to the end, I'll journey to the end
Started in '87 ended in '89, you got a garage or an
amp, we'll play anytime
It was just the four of us, yea the core of us ,too
much attention unavoidably destroyed us
Four kids on tour three thousand miles in a four door
car not knowing what was going
Years it would turn out like this
Hell, no no preminition could have seen for
To the end, to the end, I'll journey to the end
To the end, to the end, I'll journey to the end
To the end, to the end, I'll journey to the end
My friend came from far away, from New Orleans
into the East Bay
He said this is a Mecca
I said: "This ain't no mecca, man, this place is
fucked"
Three months go by he had no home, he had no
food, he was all alone
Matty said: "Fool me once. shame on you"
He said: "Fool me twice, he went back to New
Orleans"
To the end, to the end, I'll journey to the end
To the end, to the end, I'll journey to the end
To the end, to the end, I'll journey to the end
She's Automatic
The way that she moves
Well I was aroused, impowered, impassioned by
every move
It's so cold outside, we need a place to hide
Go into the club to thaw out for the night
She's automatic, so automatic
The way she moves, the way she moves
She's automatic, so automatic
The way she moves
The situation is tricky, I was feeling so down
We're placing the trucks, the music so loud
She asked me if I would stand by her side
Like glue that I would till the end of the night
She's automatic, so automatic
The way she moves, the way she moves
She's automatic, so automatic
The way she moves
My head was spinnin' a million miles an hour
The chance I was takin', I get anxious around her
She put her head on my shoulder, I started to hold
her
Swingin' and swayin' the morning began
She's automatic, so automatic
The way she moves, the way she moves
She's automatic, so automatic
The way she moves
I say the way she moves, yeah
I say the way she moves, yeah
I say the way she moves

Old Friend
Good morning, heartache, you're like an old friend
Come and see me again
Good morning, heartache, you're like an old friend
Come and see me again
Look up you're in Cleveland again
A solid line that never ends
I've got stories you'll never believe
And I know it, I wear it, I wear it on my sleeve
There must be somethin' about you that I liked
But right here in the rain you know it just don't seem
right
I always go out I never hide but in Cleveland I should
have stayed inside
Good morning, heartache, you're like an old friend
Come and see me again
Good morning, heartache, you're like an old friend
Come and see me again
Testify my love for you
I know it runs deep through your body too
From the cold blacktop to the hot concrete
The old tan van it ain't so sweet
Good morning, heartache, you're like an old friend
Come and see me again
Good morning, heartache, you're like an old friend
Come and see me again
Somewhere in America, in the city at night
We were far from home, but you know it was gonna
be alright
The unfortunate get prayed on by vultures eyes
86 cents in these pockets of mine
You can take my money, you can take my time
But you can't take my heart in the city behind
Good morning, heartache, you're like an old friend
Come and see me again
Good morning, heartache, you're like an old friend
Come and see me again

Disorder and Disarray
Bussiness man, come shake my hand, show me
numbers that I understand
Your my candle, I'm your burnin' wick
Two sides comin' in quick
Say goodbye when you see me sign
Now I'm crucified
Crucify me
Crucify me

The ground is feryile and the grass is green
So many things to be seen, so many bands to be

Just for once can I be ignored
Say goodbye when you see me sign
Now I'm crucified
Crucify me
Crucify me
Crucify me
Ace man, cool, I say
Gonna get away
No, no, no reason for me to stay
But I come back another day
Get on my buses

I say: "What the fuck are you talking about"
Say goodbye when you see me sign
Now I'm crucified
Crucify me

You Don't Care Nothin'
A cat lies awake when it sleeps
Was she conscious of her own miseries
Will the agony of her pain
Win her to enlightenment and set her conscience
free
Do you really wanna know what's happenin'
Do you really wanna know what's goin' on
Hey girl, you better please take a look around
Explore your heart and find out for yourself
Jenny Demilo, you don't care nothin' about me
Jenny Demilo, you don't care nothin' about me
I never realy got a reason, never had a use for one
before
But now I know that there's now a prize but for the
wise and the unwise
Do you really wanna know what's happenin'
Do you really wann know what's goin' on
Hey girl you better please take a look around
Explore your heart and find out for yourself
Jenny Demilo, you don't care nothin' about me
Jenny Demilo, you don't care nothin' about me

As Wicked
One, two, three, four
I saw an old man on the street
He was in a dumpster lookin' for somethin' to eat
He moved so slow like a dyin' dream
Like a machinist who got caught in the machine
I saw this lady and she was cryin'
She said it's hard when someone you love is dyin'
I saw this kid who was about 5 years old
He was in the park all alone, he was cold
There's something coming around
As wicked as it may seem
As wicked as anything could be
As wicked as it may seem
As wicked as anything could be
I know this girl she's barely alive
She's all haggard she's only twenty-five
She said she never had a friend before, I said
"Hey girl I'll be your friend but who's keepin' score"
I saw this other little girl on the phone
Her mother comforts her from far from home
The little girl was very hesitant
Her best friend lie dead on the pavement
There's something coming around
As wicked as it may seem
As wicked as anything could be
As wicked as it may seem
As wicked as anything could be
I always end up back on the hill
Lookin' down at the landfill
I always go there when I can
My friend Marty said: "Tim you're a lucky man"
There's something coming around
As wicked as it may seem
As wicked as anything could be
As wicked as it may seem
As wicked as anything could be

Avenues & Alleyways
Oi Oi Oi!
I figured out the problem and the problem is you,
You didn't see us comin' now there's nothing you
can do,
Times are gonna change, change or step aside,
It's our point of view that took you by surprise,
The sun's coming up yea a new dawn arrives,
A generation standing stand with anger in their
eyes,
No love in the city cause there's no connection,
Stricken by disease a racial infection.
I�m a battering ram coming through to you,
In every alleyway and every avenue Oi Oi Oi!
If actions could erase all the fear that we suffer,
People segregated no one understands each other,
He's a different colour but we're the same kid,
I treat him like my brother he'll treat me like his,
Well an eye for an eye yea a tooth for a tooth,
Brother against brother should be singing with the
group,
The inner cities burning yea it�s screaming black &
blue,
The power and the passion of a million youth.
I�m a battering ram coming through to you,
In every alleyway and every avenue, Oi Oi Oi!
Oi Oi Oi!
I figured out the problem the problem is you,

Of all the blood that spills of all the guts that fly,
The media paints a picture that stains (all arise)
Pits the dogs against the cats now who is
responsible,
The power and the issue the force is unstoppable.

The Way I Feel
Pick me back up just to throw me back down
Apologies too like when you're up against the wall
Compassion heals while duplicity kills
You say that I'm different, you say that I'm different
Yhe only thing different is the way I feel about you
You moved up the ladder at a very rapid speed
We mived methodically and calmly
When you got to the top you see enemies
You say that I'm different, you say that I'm different
The only thing different is the way I feel about you
If I knew back then what I know now that it would all
turn out like this
I'd sit back and I'd watch you squirm
Cause you say I'm different, I'm different
The only thing different is the way I feel about you
back to rancid

Hoover Street
She is a Salvador immigrant,
Head through a thin wall.
A frail hooker,
Holding a ???
Gleaming sky scraper,
Bunker he looked down.
Laugh hysterically,
And then he spread around.
On Hoover Street, then he must be alone
The precious little,
(the) kid cashed the hoes.
Of a ??? girl,
She kind of made you spill.
Her brother Mario,
Got shot 4 times in da head.
Now see poor Mario,
he caught a hot one,
through the lung.
Now he's done so god bless him.
And the cocaine,
Moves through their system,
Like a river forever wandering
To the last party of the under/loner class.
(distance) just a bunch of kids,
Who don't wanna finish last.
Now see the market place,
Has changed the weight of the scale.
You either get out and die,
Or go to jail.
And your best intentions,
Splinter and fail.
And a few weeks of promises,
And intentions fail.
It's a glass-pipe murder.
It's a glass-pipe murder.
Oh Yeah.
It's a glass-pipe murder.
It's a glass-pipe murder.
OOOHHH YYYEEEAAAHHH!
They kick a bottle of beer and a letter,
Simple things made Mario feel better.
You see it falls on you,
And it falls on me,
Self-annihilation, catastrophe.
Two packs of cigarettes for $2.70,
And a bottle of wine that's been opened.
And he said, why do I do this.
A shiver through his body,
Like a bottle of CC
Not encouraging reality or me.
He said it's who I am being back to it.
Off the deep end the record changed.
You see, no one stood up,
And cheered for him.
Everyone sat down,
With something that happened.
Began, to happen.
It's an old school dorm mystery,
And the handcuffs bleed...
It's a glass-pipe murder.
It's a glass-pipe murder.
Oh Yeah.
It's a glass-pipe murder.
It's a glass-pipe murder.
OOOHHH YYYEEEAAAHHH!
Who was the killer.... it's in the...
Oh Yeah...

Religious and prestigious keep the quest for the holy grail
The eye atop the pyramid is open and awake
The Pagans hold the rituals and the fire won't begin to say:
Division is the new world order.
Division is the new world order.
Division is the new world order.
Come along and tell your sister and your brother.
The force of war, dynamite blast
Rides on the weak and the poor
Don't want to see my brother in pain when the man fights big man's wars
Don't know nothin bout no red, white, and blue
???
Too many win, nobody lose
??? choose
Division is the new world order.
Division is the new world order.
Division is the new world order.
Come along and tell your sister and your brother.
The conscience of the public can not be put to sleep
The conglomerate of the nations has no bounds in which they seek
Was it the Mob tellin' the CIA to install this state of fear
How many of us wish that we were up to Kennedy's ear to say:
Division is the new world order.
Division is the new world order.
Division is the new world order.
Come along and tell your sister and your brother.
See them try to rule the world
We don't know why
Why they want to rule the world
???
The guns of mass destruction, them fighting about
Buying the world is only so much money
Here they come in ???
World wide hunger ??? fear
Gangster treaties who keep us in fear
How much more can ???
Need no more division
Need no more ??? I will keep on fighting to keep what's mine
We the people speaking our mind
And once more, would you say it for me now?
Dynamite blast with the force of war
Government rides on the weak and poor
Don't want to see my brother in pain no more
When the little man fights all the big man's war
??? victimize
??? clever disguise
??? our people must rise
Decide your fate

But it was and you are light and darkness coming through
Sihlouettes of palm trees backing up against the sky
Echo park sunset, an ambulance drives by Someone went down,
and I wonder who
Someones fall coudda.... been anybody I know
So I drank like a fish till i crawl like a rat
In the city of shit i ended up on my back.
But I can't believe you're with me after dark
So let it come together in echo park
Who would've thought that dreams come true
Who would've thought i'd end up with you
Who would've thought what they said was true
But it was and you are light and darkness coming through
A red flag and your body wins Or a snake bite, gotta start again
So i'm fucked up and watching TV all day
I don't wanna see what ricky lake's gotta say
And it hits me when i'm alone, i'm an angry man
I start singing to myself i go dealt a shitty hand
With all these feelings my heart could explode
So is it not fear, no not at all So I said
Who would've thought that dreams come true
Who would've thought i'd end up with you
Who would've thought what they said was true
But it was and you are light and darkness coming through

And to move out for him, about crushin' them
And I can't get plain and simple:
It's a sick man
???
???
He drives a tricked out, tricked out, tricked out Lexus
And he looks at the city and says I could take this
He decided to acquire what not one needs
It's so fuckin' hot that your nose bleeds
Watch you break the nose of respect
Oh you broke the nose, that is correct
The gates of hell are closing in
The victims family gon' condemn him
He says I don't trust them in hell
Yeah that'll show them
It's the sword, the jewel, imagination
Cash, culture and violence
Violence, welfare, and knowledge
Cash, culture and violence
Oh you're running and you're running on the way to distraction
Cash, culture and violence
It's the sword, the jewel, imagination
Cash, culture and violence
Poisoned like a rat who drank some stric 9 gin
I'm only mad cause he has been as low as you have been
Bare, crack military federation
Living, yeah, only to rise again
Yeah you gotta get skeptic, heard the rumble
And the legions that are timid, run, they crumble
Cause a corner ain't nothin but a concrete jungle
And lord, I wonder
It's the sword, the jewel, imagination
Cash, culture and violence
Violence, welfare, and knowledge
Cash, culture and violence
Oh you're running and you're running on the way to distraction
Cash, culture and violence
It's the sword, the jewel, imagination
Cash, culture and violence
Nickels, diamonds, can't be found
There's no one, nothing, come straight down
Psychosomatic, come down
You stopped cold from your nervous breakdown
Yeah!!!
It's the sword, the jewel, imagination
Cash, culture and violence
Violence, welfare, and knowledge
Cash, culture and violence
Oh you're running and you're running on the way to distraction
Cash, culture and violence
It's the sword, the jewel, imagination
Cash, culture and violence
(Cash!!! .... Culture!!! Violence!!!)

The Wolf
I didn't trust him
cause he smiled at me head first
Just like the wolf before he bites me
And I didn't go there
I swear that it was cursed
Just as if it was to despite me
I got some ????
Paints a portrait of the suburbs
In the last couple years
A solid lasting image
Or image of ????
?????
All I ever notice ???
??????
??????
Consuming it all
I didn't trust him
cause he smiled at me head first
Just like the wolf before he bites me
And i didn't go there
I swear that it was cursed
Just as if it was to despite me

1998
Wystone Clinics
1974
Father�s talking shit
Mother fucker slammed the door
Hit the streets running
Cannot take it anymore
In the reins of a train,
I cuddle on the floor.
In the apartment next door and
Sleeping here for free
Little kid sitting in the shooting gallery
Set your self up
But in the system it�s a raid
Oh this is what you want
Not the way, what they fucking say
Hanging out with sid and a kid in the U.S.A.
Sidney Sidney in the U.S.A.
Lower east side
1976
Who�s got the dope
And who�s gonna doing trips?
Should i call a loser all for a fix
Rippen off some lady
Just to avoid from gettin sick
Well I life moves slow
When you got nowhere to go
What the fuck happen to your son all alone
Is he coming over?
Is he coming home?
Oh momma�s disappointed,
Waiting� by the phone
Hanging out with sid and a kid in the U.S.A.
Sidney Sidney in the U.S.A.
Same fucking shit
1998
And mother fuckers that he hates
Hates the fucking people,
But they cannot see straight
Who got the crack,
Gonna seal his fate.
In the apartment next door
And sleeping here for free
Little kid sitting in the shooting gallery
Set your self up
But in the system it�s a raid
Oh this is what you want
I don't care, what they fucking say
Hanging out with sid and a kid in the U.S.A.
Sidney Sidney in the U.S.A.

Lady Liberty
Lady Liberty, come down and plea to me
I want nothing to do with your crazy world
Broken promises, those poor noises
are bringin' it by the time for all the famine and the law
From the conscious to the ozarks to shouted sandinista
Lady Liberty, come down and plea to me
You had me to believe that the streets are paved in gold
Storming ??? west, then the cold hits
Then I come to find that the streets aren't paved at all
From the conscious to the ozarks to shouted sandinista
From the conscious to the ozarks to shouted sandinista
From the Kremlin to Afghanistan to the forgotten ones
She offers it confusion to distraught refugees
In the fields of poison ivy, through the famine and disease
You bled my loyalty
Lady Liberty, come down and plea to me
You had me to believe that the streets are paved in gold
All you tell me not to worry
About the short comings of lives and the high cost of living
From the conscious to the ozarks to shouted sandinista
From the conscious to the ozarks to shouted sandinista
Shouted sandinista

Turntable
Yeah!
He's gonna go go get it
Gonna run run set it
In an otherwise hidden realm
Ahh! everybody knows, it's fucking wild and there's no fronting about it
It's not the style, nor a trial
It's the best of love and hate
Come on everybody, lets get together
I appall the backdrop of hate
Well there's no more food on the table
What once was strong, no longer able
And an open mind, no longer stable
And it spin like a DJ's turntable
A million eyeballs and a blink and a smile
With no dimensions in sight
Well given an inch, a billion colors
The entire world's contrast light
Oh it ain't right, another fight
Well all of it's so very clear
With my passion on a stud, I walked through
I walked through the vicious ones
I really don't care
Well there's no more food on the table
What once was strong, no longer able
And an open mind no longer stable
And it spin like a DJ's turntable
My western mind has a hard time (hard time)
Getting across this trust
Passive resistance
Your assistance
(You're the one smoking dust)
It ain't a style, nor a trial
It's the best of love and hate (love and hate)
Come on everybody lets get together, I appall the backdrop of hate
Well there's no more food on the table
What once was strong, no longer able
And an open mind no longer stable
And it spin like a DJ's turntable
Well ya spin like a DJ's turntable
Well ya spin like a DJ's turntable
Well ya spin like a DJ's turntable
