If you wanna get the feelin' and you wanna get it right
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
Here it is

The shelter is where I reside

Hidden estates and diamond rings

Tenderloin
Realise you're dehumanised
You criticise your existence
It´s your demise when no sun arise
When you're paralysed by your lack of resistance
She know she is
She knows she's going
Down below where the fire's glowing
Tenderloin
The tricks she gets them she's not a victim
She makes a list of them and reads them all alone
For money she's walking down on larkin
In T.I. they're rocking all night long
She know she is
She knows she's going
Down below where the fire's glowing
Tenderloin
Let's Go
Jimmy said he could handle this
Ohhhh, he's from Los Angeles ohh

Born and raised in West Los Angeles
Dad's a lawyer, Mummy's asleep,
Runs down the family can't ya see,
One thing seems very clear
Daddy's got no connection here,
Everything's reject and demanded,
Lived your life and think you can handle it
Let the dying shorten this Rythm
Let's Go Where the shores are green
Let's Go Where the Music's loud
Let's Go

It ain't coming you have to find it
'Cause all of a sudden you got grounded
You didn't care, you just stared
At the sign that said all beware,
In and Out and said
Oi, Tik, Tok,
I'm glad you got away of me
Let the dying shorten this Rythmmmm
Let's Go Where the shores are green
Let's Go Where the Music's loud
Let's Go Cause this ain't no problems, fuck this, fucking tragic
Yeah
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, 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
U to the N to the I T Y
Straight down too late can it kick that feeling
Looking from the bottom I can't see the ceiling
Shots rang out in the Oakland winter
Can't stand alone you can't stand together
As one
Burn
13 red and white stripes flying
White for skin and red for dying
Why can't I
Walk on through
And not feel like
One is in hell
We don't need no water let the motherfucker burn
Why can't I
Walk on through
And not feel like
One is in hell
13 red and white stripes flying
White for skin and red for dying
Whoooo for dying
We don't need no water let the motherfucker burn
Why can't I
Walk on through
And not feel like
One is in hell
The Ballad of Jimmy and
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'
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
What the fuck were they thinking
Jimmy and Johnny tell me what you're seeing
Yeah
Gunshot
Everybody wants to come but nobody wants to pay
I try to show them but they do anyway
I was caught up and knocked down to my knees
Same thing for my duty quiz
Gunshot!
Gunshot in my heart
Sometimes there are guys who can deal with me
Everything's imperive but i don't fucking need
I know where you are but i don't care
I've got ideas but no decision
Gunshot!
Gunshot in my heart
Yeah
Gunshot!
Gunshot!
Gunshot in my heart
I Am The One
I'm the one who's got religion
I'm the one I can't tell you my name
Are you gonna be ready to use it
If you hesitate they'll pursue it
Put the gun to your dome no question
Now the holy ghost in question what about the banks
When they say go
Standin at the top & can't let go standin'
Can't take can't take that time when I try
Sometimes I can't stay high
I'm the one who's got religion
I'm the one I can't tell you my name...
Are you gonna be ready to use it
If you hesitate they'll pursue it
Goods evil erme from above
Death peace eternal love
Bleedin' at the gates & I can't come in
Courage that abates a life of sin
Sure that it holds and it holds no other
With the lies of the brave the kid don't matter
I'm the one who's got religion
I'm the one I can't tell you my name.
Gave It Away
Drawing a collective breath
I could cry myself to death
And wash this all away
In a flash you were gone
Leaving me a couple of songs
That I listen to everyday
And I don't even care
That you were so unfair
I worshipped one time at your feet
Save up our tears
Catalogue all our fears
Give into the stretching years
Your words hit me just last night
When I saw it with the after sight
What was on your mind
It's too late to ever change
Things go a little bit strange
You were too far behind
And the reasons I have to live
Are the reasons that you would give
To throw it all away
Save and freeze up our tears
Catalogue all our fears
Give into the stretching years
But that's O.K.
And I don't even care
That you were so unfairI worshipped one time at your feet
Never heard what was saidAll nerve ends are dead
Tinitus ringing in my head
Save and freeze up our tears
Catalogue all our fears
Give into the stretching years
Drown in my tears
Succumb to my fears
Give into the stretching years
But that's O.K.
I'm not O.K.
Ghetto Box
Oi! Oi!
Ghetto box talkin time for the back streets

And time for the back streets with you

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
Black and 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
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
Yeah what you gonna do
What you gonna do
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
Dope Sick Girl
Dope sick girl
Hit & run
She took my money
87 dollars gone
Now she's running
How was I
I to know
That a girl could take my heart
everywhere she go
Dope sick girl
A rig & a ride
She's got no freedom
Little demon gonna hide inside
She's gotta feed 'em
There she was at the methadone clinic
Drunk a cup
She called it a base coat
Swore not to get back in it
Gotta rig & a ride to New York city
Gonna run away
Gonna watch it burn in the heart of New York City
How was I
I to know
That girl could take my heart
everywhere she go
International
Cover-Up
What about the state of the
union
What about the games they're using
What about the kids that don't matter
What about a general strike
You don't know what it's like
What it's like
Back down to no back down comin' up
Rise up no rise up showin' up
Lock down no lock down comin' up
International cover-up
What about the cage getting rattled
What about the international battle
What about the kids who are dreamin'
What about the kid who got stopped
Solidarity
Solidarity
love and unity
set me free
with a bullet and a gun
You said it was nothing I knew it was something
I was no surprisin' I saw you cryin´
About you
Said now what went wrong
About you
Said you can't go on
About you
Said it was a long time gone
About you
Now your life's too long
Didn't see it comin', your fears went hunting
9 millimeter stops you running
About you
Said the pressure on
About you
Now you can't go on
About you
Now you're long time gone
About you
So what went wrong
Solidarity love and unity set me free with a bullet and a gun
Bullet and a gun

Livin' and dyin' and the stories that are true
The secret to a good life is knowing when your through

Sara ... on before she died
I bit the bullet on a motorcycle ride
7:30 on the way

It's just ability to reason that wears so thin
If you wanna make a move then you better come in

Sara ... on before she died
I bit the bullet in a motorcycle ride

One million days and nights and all pain and struggle
All for what I ask all the hate and trouble
You don't know my name

Punch drunk from the punch clock opportunity never gonna knock
No more 'cause there's no blue collar all the unions gettin´

One million nights and all the pain and struggle
All for what I ask all the hate and trouble
You don't know my name
man you don't know my name
Yea
You don't know my name

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
Who's the opposition
I'm 7 years down
The human spirit prevails
Oh yeah I'm down down down
Who's the opposition
I'm 7 years down
The human spirit prevails
Oh yeah I'm down down down
Woke up in the bushes 6:30 Tuesday morning
With a unopened Heineken and a head that was burning
For 7 years I walked the same path
A drinking beer mug was all I every had
Oh let's go
Yeah
down on my favorite kids
smoking the crack and drinkin
they say i dont belong here
fuck you man i hate you
They call me a faggot and they shut me out
Well I don't give a fuck I never did
Who's the opposition - I'm 7 years down
The human spirit prevails - Oh yeah I'm down down down
Who's the opposition - I'm 7 years down
The human spirit prevails - Oh yeah I'm down down down
