You'd Do The Same

You think you're oh so different
Well, you'd do the same as me, yeah
You're just a hypocrite
When you make fun of me
You'd do the same
You'd do the same
You'd do the same
You'd do the same

Well, you've done it now
You've blown your ride
Wasting your time
Is all your time
You'd do the same
You'd do the same
You'd do the same

You'd do the same
Don't look down
You'd do the same
Don't look down
You'd do the same

Don't look down
You'd do the same
You'd do the same
You'd do the same
You'd do the same

You've Got To Die For The Government

You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government ?
Die for your country ?
That's shit!

There's a gulf war vet,
dying a slow cold death
And the government says,
"We don't know the source of
his sickness."
But don't believe what they say,
because your government is lying
They've done it before and don'y you know they'll do it again
A secret test, government built virus
"Subject Test Group: Gulf Battle Field Troups"

You gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government ?
Die for your country ?
That's shit!

First World War Veterans slaughtered by General Eisnehower
You give them your life,
they give you a stab in the back
Radiation, agent orange,
tested on U.S. soles
Guinea pigs for Western corporations
I never have, I never will.
Pledge allegiance to their flag
You're getting used,
you'll end up dead!

You gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government ?
Die for your country ?
That's shit!

I don't need you to tell me what to do
And I don't need you to tell me what to be...
FUCK YOU!!!!
I don't need you to tell me what to say
And I don't need you to tell me what to think! What to think!
What to think, what to think,
what to think, think, think, think!

You gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government ?
Die for your country ?
That's shit!

Drink Drank Punk

Gulp Gulp Gulp

Until I puke

I'm so cool
I can drink so much
I can drink more than you
Drink Drank Punk
Met a girl at the bar oh
She was a 10 at 2:00 I

At 10:00 AM she was a FRIGHT
Some old guy bought me some alcohol
We got Drunk at the mall

Mom's gonna get us at the mall oh
In a drunken stupor hope I don't fall oh
I could chew on a big wad of gum oh
Mom won't notice, she's old and DUMB

Drink Drank Punk

Rotten Future

All you punkers with your
No Future dreams
Follow Johnny Rotten and
All our present beliefs
Following society be what

They want you to be
Drunk and Quiet
"There's No Future for me"
IMPATIENCE with society
BE WHAT they want you to be
IMPATIENCE "there is No Future here"
"I'm not lazy I just don't care"

Of course there is no future when
You make sure there is none
Impatience "time is wasting,
There is No Future to be won"
If you truly don't care,
then why talk No Future
Excuses hang like a noose

"I've given up I just don't care"
Of course you'll bring no change
When you sit home on your couch
We need to stand up and fight
Bring our future to a start
We can change things just as
long as we take the time
Generations, generations, generations
They're not they same

Safe Tonight

You know I feel so violent, Just want to break some glass,
Every day I pray it'll be my last
Turning to a blank wall wondering what to do ?

Turning to a caliber .22
Every day he starts the same old fight.
And every day it just gets worse by night.

If I hit the streets I think I'll be alright. But until I do, I won't be safe tonight...

Safe tonight
Every day I remember all that lead to this.
And every day don't ya know I get a little more pissed.
Banging on myself because I just don't care.
There's nothing left for me back there
He's twisted and violent, I don't know what to do.

I left there for the streets last night
Thinking only of you, be safe tonight
Safe tonight
It all falls down on to me, like a baseball baT. It hurts me, haunts me, hurts me, haunts me
I never want to go back. I'm twisted tonight, and I don't know what to do.

I'm twisted tonight, I want to be with you, I want to be with you,
I want to be with you, be with, be with, be
with you...

Red White And Brainwashed

They use the flag to control us
Brainwash us to be their patrotic slaves
Programs our minds by controlling what we learn
The only difference from the nazis is that
Someone tried to stop them

RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED

The government says they're working for us
Just as long as we increase their pay
But the minute they get into office we're a has-been
A yesterday

RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED

The red stands for the blood of all the people
We've slain
The white for this racist, bigoted foundation
The blue for your arayan eyes -- all empty
Empty because you're taught to bow down to the man"

Fly that flag, that flag of freedom"
"Do what you can for your country"
Go and fight their wars for them
"They're not following in our footsteps,
KILL THEM!"

RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED

They call that being a patriot
I just call it ignorant
If you don't fight to make things better
Then you're the one betraying the country

RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED

Davey Destroyed The Punk Scene

He thinks because he's got spikes on his
Leather, that he's the punkest, he thinks
he's better!

He walks around with his
Nose in the air, the only thing bigger
Than his ego is his hair
He thinks that uniform he's wearing is a
Good excuse for his snobby glaring

Davey destroyed the punk scene

He thinks that uniform he's wearing
Makes him a punk, yeah
Davey destroyed the punk scene
I don't know when punk became a uni-
form I always thought that uniforms were
For the army

But I guess he's right he's got punk rock
Hair, he paid a fortune for his gear
Davey destroyed the punk scene
He thinks that uniform he's wearing,
Makes him a punk, yeah

Davey destroyed the punk scene

We've got to try to stick together!
Oi! Oi!

We're not supposed to fight each
other
Oi! Oi!

Stand against the govern-
ment but stand up for ourselves
Oi! Oi!

If this ignorance continues punk will be
Lost on book shevles
What happened to punk rock kids uniting,
now we're competing, now we're fight-
ing He drives the younger kids away,
Sacrificing us for his image, punk rock
Kids will pay
Davey destroyed the punk scene
He thinks that uniform he's wearing
Makes him a punk, yeah
Davey destroyed the punk scene
It's already destroyed!!!

Summer Squatter Go Home

Go home, go home
Squatter go home
I think I hear your Mommy callin '
On your cellular phone
She said your dad wants his car back
So you'd better come home

Squatter go home (4x)
go home Go home, go home
Squatter go home

You got no money for the punk rock show
It's delagated for a beer and a ho
Spitting, pissing, cumming, and shitting
So you have cool clothes

Squatter go home

I see you sitting on the boulevard with your tired and pissed off stare
Tellin' everyone your hard luck story, and what landed you here
You think of mommy and daddy out in their safe suburban home
And you know that's where you're gonna be when you start to feel the cold

I'm saying poser go home
Poser squatter go home
Summer squatter go home
Poser squatter go home

Squatter go home (4x)
Summer squatter go home

She's My Little Go-Go Dancer

I was talking to this girl before a show
Does she like me? I don't know
I asked her to go out on Saturday night
She said "OK that would be alright"

Then she left she had to go to work
She gave me her number she said, "I feel like a
jerk."
I asked her if she'd dance for a song
She said she'd be dancing all night long

She's my little go-go dancer (3x)
She's my little fast kids Go-Go-Go

She didn't tell me she danced in a cage
Hanging high above the stage
I worked my way closer with a push and a shove
Before I knew it I was in love

I waited every second until Saturday night
I took her to dinner things were going alright
Then we went out dancing went to have some fun
We danced and we danced - danced all night long

She's my little go-go dancer (3x)
She's my fast kids Go-Go-GoGo go go go go go

Police State In The U.S.A

The Berlin Wall falls in the East
The West claims triumph, "We've really got 'em beat!"

Politicans from the West claim the police state's dead
But what of the police state in the West ?

Police State in the U.$.A.

The government controls everything you do
With police and the feds watching over you

You try to stand against them and you'll end up dead
As your front door is smashed in by the ATF

Police State in the U.$.A

Your television screen shows the feds most wanted
But do you truly know why these men are being hunted ?

It's a big brother state it's the same as the East
The cops protect the rich and corporate elite

Police State in the U.$.A

Punk By The Book

Covered in leather, or plaid patches, or metal studs
Your hair is dyed or spiked with glue
You only talk to those who look and act the way you do
Cause you think you're so fuckin' cool

Punk. Punk. Punk.
Punk by the book.

You say that punk to you is what's in your mind not what you
wear, but you know you're so full of shit
You scoff at how the cops treat you, but they're no worse than
dicks like you!
I just can't understand what you're thinking.

Punk Punk Punk.
Punk by the book.

Youre punk by the book... HEY! HEY!
Youre punk by the book! Book!

Fuck Police Brutality

A bunch of punks hangin out on the streets before a show.
Patty Wagon pulls up-instinct- "Run man, let's just go!" Cops chases
them through the streets and then they go inside.

They run into a
show where maybe they can hide fuck police BRUTALI-TY!

He hides just standing in the crowd theres nowhere he can
run.
The Cop comes up behind him and cracks him with his gun

Drags his bloody ass outside and throws him to the ground
"Nowhere else to take you boy, youre already down
town!" fuck police BRUTALITY! But the cops can do no
wrong, they can kill they can rape, they can do what they want,
but the cops can do no wrong.

We've gotta fight, take back the
night, the cops are just like Hitler's Third Reich, do what they
want.

Who do we fear ? who do we trust ?
How do we know ?

Kill The Rich

A billionaire chatting with his friends
They've gotta stop and laugh

"We've really got those
suckers fooled, We've gotta 'em trained like rats!"

The riches plot, control your thoughts, to make you blame yourself
"The rich are rich because they're smarter than me..."

You're taught this is right, that it's your fault

KILL, KILL, KILL!!!

They throw a war like a party saying,
"It's for a moral cause"

Telling you if you're a patriot that
"YOU BETTER DO WHAT YOU'RE TOLD!"

You burn a flag, you're gonna hang,
Brainwashed nationalism makes you a tool
They're getting rich by selling weapons to both countries,
You never think to question what you're told!

KILL, KILL, KILL!!!

They're gonna give you nothing
They want to take way the little they call something
You know you're being used still you play along

If you're not complacent,
You're doing something wrong
One day they'll push to far
That marks the beginning
of their end

We'll being them crashing down until they're all dead, They're all dead,
they're all dead!
The time is growing near..
Put the trigger to the man...
Ok, let's go, kill 'em!

No More Dead

Why don't you come over here and see what you've created
It'll make you laugh so hard you'll cry
And lookin' into the black you make me so far past sick
Lookin' into your eyes I wish you'd die

No more dead (2x)

Well I've seen the crosses burnt and holy
And the people they all come down they're screaming
"Hey man, it's a fix!"
And I looked into the cause in which, you were striving towards
And I thought, thought of the wasted, the wasted youth..

No more dead (2x)

He's lying all alone His life is stolen, yes it's gone
Into the black of the night can't you see it was no fault of his own
Trapped in a slum, bred into a slum, Killing his own instead
of rich white men
And he's never gonna escape from it now,
Because it's over, and he's dead
The end

Confused Youth

She's always askin' him what he wants to do
How many times does he have to say, he's fuckin' confused
He'd run away but there's nowhere else to run
Why do they try to conform us we just wanna have fun

We gotta fight fight fight
Fight for our Youth,
Confused Youth

"Why don't you go to school? You need to
grow up"
They're so infatuated like growing up Is something
you shoot up
Some girls my age they want to have a baby
Some of them wanna get married...they're fucking crazy

We gotta fight fight fight
Fight for our Youth,
Confused Youth

Adults try to bring us up to be and act like them
If we don't all act alike discard and try again
There is no room deep in their eyes for an individual
"Conform" and "stand in line" make sure you fit the mold
It's alright to grow old, to mature and become wise
Too bad all they seem to want is to die in ignorance

"Straighten your back, straighten your face and lose your grin"
"It's time to be serious, think hard but always give in"
"You are the inferior, open your eyes and close your mouth"
"Grow up to be just like me watch and follow with no doubt"

Train children just like a dog
"Try not to get in the way"
"When I talk you should obey"
"Try not to get in the way"

It's not a war
What are you fighting for
Life's not a war
There's no need to conform

We need help but not every day
There's no need, no need to use force
We need help but not in every single way
We don't need utter control

"Why don't you go to school ? You need to grow up"
Like growing up is something you can shoot up
All of us we'd run away but where would we go?
Just loosen your grip on our leash you don't have to let go

We gotta fight fight fight
Fight for our Youth
Confused Youth
