808 Scene
02:40
|
|||
|
Just another day, Day in the 808 scene
People come, Join together as one
No one leaves because no ones getting hurt
This is a crowd, Not a war
Chorus- Whoa oh oh oh oh In The 808
(Josh 86)-As a kid in the country, I never liked the bros
Luckily the country had some punk rock shows
I saw S.R.S., The Sticklers, and Unit 101
Knumbskulls, Mistermeaner, and Family Fun
My friend told me she was dancing at a show
Some guy punched her in the face man
Broke her nose and I said, “Fuck that man!”
All I know is unity and I said “Woo-oh…”
(Josh 86) So many bands I always love to see
They shape my youth and my ideology
With unity and respect and never with hate
Big respect down for the 808
Once upon a time we came together
It didn’t matter, cause we were together yeah
All the bands that we loved and all the shows that blew our minds
The times were fast and they’re still going…yeah

In The Morning
01:57
|
|||
|
When I wake up in the morning, my woman said you gotta get up
My father said you ain’t no child, start living in the sunlight
And give me a minute of your time
Chorus 1- Of your time, of your time, give me a minute of your time
In The Morning
Time is a depressing thing, devalued the prettiest diamond ring
Their words seemed to bettered me, now I know when to disagree well
Chorus 2- Man you better get up, you ain’t no child
Start living in the sunlight and give me, give me
A minute of your time, of your time, give me a minute of your time
In the morning….you say, you say what you wanna hear. In the morning

D.O.
02:43
|
|||
|
D.O. died without a name, found his body tied in a bag
And what they did with him, I do not know
It’s a just another body found on the shore
D.O.
Dominic Oval, he had something to prove,
He lost his conscience when he lost the truth
D.O.
His mama told him, “Don’t hang around with crooks,
Carry on with your education boy, read them books”
He gotta gun for his birthday, but his mama didn’t know
D.O.
So when you’re fucked like D.O., remember my friends
It’s just life or death…GO….D.O.

Not Your Weapon
03:11
|
|||
|
Hold yourself to your word, but it keeps you down
Better not let that mind go to waste
We paid for education just to give you taste
Well do you like it babe? Do you like it?
C’mon baby, Do you like it?
That’s what I thought
Chorus- I don’t raise the white flag and
No one is weaker than us and
I’m not your weapon yeah
You grab me by the horns, but you ain’t got me pinned
This ain’t no corner division, it’s a full functional education system
Do you look for a life to suffice? Or do you look for a way to make alright?
Let’s go now

Anti-"Love" Song
03:26
|
|||
|
I saw you a prisoner in his arms, he’s got that school boy charm
Is he really that great? Does he make your heart wanna masturbate?
Yeah, Well you two look real good together
His background is the only that flaps your feathers
You’ve forgotten your past cause the future moving too fast
Chorus- Oh baby, it feels so right
We have gotta hold each other more tight
Until we choke on tung and that’s when we know we’re in love
Oh in love
L is Laborious and O is for Overbearing
And V is Venial and E is for Everything and Anything you’ll ever say to me
Well I like to drink and that’s just fine
A pack and brew will do me right cause my peers control my mind

Julie Was An Anarchist
03:12
|
|||
|
Julie Was An Anarchist, she lit some napalm in the oval office
She gave up on reasons to carry out her suburban life
A supporter to the cause that she carried out on her own
There was a time where you had a nice face
You had you own car and your own place
But you’re drowning out now and your asking for forgiveness
You live in an institution and your minds resolution
Is to carry out your anarchy, Your anarchy
Chorus- You’re shouting now, Whoa
You’re a supporter to the cause that you, you carried out alone
Shout back with a verbal attack and you’d stab your neighbors back
And you’re demonstrating for a different crowd
Well the doctors give ya pills and you put um in your mouth
And you, haha, you mellow out
Well look back at your life, Was it really that bad?
Becoming a threat to the nation is a chance that I’ll never have
Well you don’t know who you were, don’t know who you are
You’re a threat to nation and infamous superstar

End Of The Line
01:54
|
|||
|
Times are changing, Uncle Sam loves inflation
He don’t give a shit about America’s kids
That’s when I say myself, “We’ve reached the end of the line”
Chorus- We’ve reached the end of the line
Corporate America will leave you behind
It’s written in the bible, “Avoid all greed”
And this here bible runs our society
But the corporations, they’ve found a loophole
What do we mean when we say it’s the land of the free
It’s propaganda from the greedy
Your security creates your ego and right now I’ve had enough

Cretin Crossover
03:01
|
|||
|
Every person I see is just a cretin, they all give dirty looks without no reason
Well it transmits hostility, but I try to keep my integrity
And when you’re surrounded by people with no flame
Then I guess we all start to look the same yeah
Chorus- Cretin Crossover, when everything is just a matter of fact
And all our ideas are seen as white and black
No difference is made, no voices are heard
And when you think you’ve seen it all, been 20 years since last enthralled
The cretins will crawl, the cretins take over
The Cretin Crossover
Every person I meet is so jaded
They all speak their mind, but cannot be persuaded
Well they’re always in a fucking rush
And they’ll never pay attention to ya much
And when you surrounded by people with a frown
Then every day is gonna bring you down yeah

Hate Against
03:12
|
|||
|
I went to china town and I saw a moke’s eyes full of hate
And I can’t change my fate, I was born into my race
And I can’t believe the words I hear, and the racism is very clear
And I know I cannot change, the tables have been rearranged
Chorus- Hate against the white man
And I did not steal your islands, and I did not provoke you with violence
And I know without a doubt that what I’m talking bout
Is being demonstrated daily to the fullest amount
And the people that you see that represent bigotry
Are the white man from another century
And since I have no say on what you speak
I said, “My acceptance is subjected before we meet.”

Problems In The Nation
01:53
|
|||
|
There’s something going on inside
There’s something that fills the people with pride
Some hope coming forth, but no opportunities at the door
You keep your mouth open, but your fate is shut
Chorus- There’s problems in the nation, keep moving forward
You can’t stand the people who are different than you
You wanna feel comfortable
You cant wait to see, the white supremacy
So you can feel comfortable
No pulses in their bodies, disrupting their tranquil bodies
But none will claim our demise
That racist undercurrent, big bellied and ultra blurry
But none will claim our demise
That smile that you wear on your face is so naïve to the perils that we face
But you admit no demise
You’re on guard like a defense attorney
Always stressing and getting worried
But you admit no demise

I Tried
01:52
|
|||
|
I can’t move on, I got too much on my mind
With all the lonely nights and empty smiles
Well I say, “Look at me. Do you think I’m happy?”
I’ll fake laugh and shut my eyes and I’ll struggle through the night
Then I’ll say
Chorus- I Tried, I Tried, I Tried To Survive
This has been going on too long
With all the pills in my system you know there’s something wrong
And I say, “I put my hands on something great”
But I lost my will to motivate and then I’ll say

Medication Drug
02:16
|
|||
|
Overdose on medication drugs, they said you can buy it at Longs
Chorus- Whoa oh, well it ain’t alright
Everybody’s turning pink and no one told me what to think
And liquid capsules and elevated assholes
I’m the king so give me the castle
What is this feeling? Am I in Heaven?
Whoa, well there’s JFK. Say hello to the kids for me J.
Well that JFK sure is swell, maybe I’ll cook him a raspberry cake
There’s Elvis, he ain’t nothing but a hound dog you know
And he smells like one too

Rat Race
01:52
|
|||
|
I ain’t got no problems today, the solid execution of the sun rays
And I’m moving out of the rat race, and I don’t wanna see the look on your face when
Chorus- I say that, “I’m moving on”, and I say, “Fuck the rat race”
You’re disgruntled workers, losing their minds
And they’re slaving away at the 9 to 5
Well you put on your tie and suit
While the man with the power controls you
|

Sicker Thought
02:34
|
|||
|
Holding out for a sicker thought and passive people cross my mind
I said, You wouldn’t want me to rip it up
A ba ba before you left your marks, I said, Apathy had ridden me
I said, You wouldn’t want me to take it…So I won’t
Chorus- Oi, Oi, Oi
Holding for sympathy, anger induced by society
I said, You wouldn’t want me to live it up
A ba ba before you spoke your mind, I said, No one bared the fucking time
But I’m not gonna take it….anymore

Pollute Boy
04:07
|
|||
|
Pollute Boy, Pollute Boy, You get what you want
Chorus- I want everything to come back
Sally K, Sally K was in a produced space
She never got what was coming to her, she never had the face
Smiled to the down, left it up, got stuck in a rut
Oh Sally K
Jimmy P, Jimmy P was in a chord
He had the stuff, but the markets bored
He kept it tough, got it gold
He made a living without a record sold
You get what you want, everybody going
You get what you want, you leave it alone
Boy, you better come back today
Come back today, you see the girl
Well, that was yesterday

Call To Action
03:24
|
|||
|
Martyrs and Saints, Hypocrites, I don’t see a difference
I believe in equality, Leaders of today fucking tomorrow
But we, we won’t give up
I look at the sky turning red and I hear about prisoners who aren’t being fed
I call for humanity
Chorus- This is a call to action and if the world don’t hear
I’ll just shout louder, This is a call to action
I hear about the girl who’s in child protective services
Cause her mom couldn’t pay the rent
I hear about the money that went towards the service
And she probably better off dead
I hear about the money that could’ve came to the people
But went to some politician’s pocket
Help me lord while I am down
Help me lord, this is a call to action
Say what you want to think it’s right
I just want someone to listen
This is a call to action
And if the lord don’t hear I’ll just louder, this is a call to action

Wooly Wooly
13:38
|
|||
|
Well I fell for you in the month of June and I didn’t care what we’d do
Well we sat at the bus stop wasting time, I had you on my mind
And with a crack of her smile, we waited their awhile
I didn’t care cause I was with you, yeah
Chorus- Wooly Wooly Woo
Well the times didn’t change much I was always stressed well
She kept my mind in check and I didn’t care
Just as long as she was there
And with a crack of her smile, we waited their awhile
I didn’t care cause I was with you, yeah
