Intro (Youth Energy)

Our generation sees the world
Not the same as before
We might as well just throw it all
And live like..

There's no tomorrow x 3

We are the ones
Who are living under the gun every day
You might be gone before you know
So live like..

There's no tomorrow - ain't gonna waste this life
There's no tomorrow - ain't gonna waste this life
There's no tomorrow - you ain't gonna live it for me

Believe it
The official view of the world has changed
In a whole new way
Live fast'cause if you don't take it
You'll never make it

So if you understand me
And if you feel the same
Then you will know what nitro means
You'll live like..

There's no tomorrow - you ain't gonna waste this life
There's no tomorrow - you ain't gonna live it for me
There's no tomorrow - you ain't gonna waste this life
There's no tomorrow - you ain't gonna live it for me
There's no tomorrow

Bad Habit

Man you know I'm really okay
The gun in my hand will tell you the same
But when I'm in my car
Don't give me no crap
'Cause the slightest thing and I just might snap

When I go driving I stay in my lane
But getting cut off it makes me insane

I open the glove box
Reach inside
I'm gonna wreck this fucker's ride

Refrain:
I guess I got a bad habit
Of blowin' away
I got a bad habit
And it ain't goin' away

Well t say the road is a dangerous place
If you flip me off I'm the danger you'll face

If you drive on my ass
Your foot's on the gas
And your next breath is your last

Refrain

Drivers are rude
Such attitudes
But when I show my peace
Complaints cease
Something's odd
I Feel like I'm god
You stupid dumbshit goddam motherfucker

I open the glove box
Reach inside
I'm gonna wreck this fucker's ride

Refrain

Gotta Get Away

I'm getting edgy all the time
There's someone around me just a step behind
It's kinda scary the shape I'm in
The walls are shakin' and t're closing in
Too fast or a bit too slow
I'm paranoid of people and it's starting to show
There's one guy that I can't shake
Over my shoulder is a big mistake

Refrain:
Sitting on the bed
Or lying wide awake
There's demons in my head
And it's more than I can take
I think I'm on a roll
But I think it's kinda weak
Saying all I know is
I gotta get away from me

I tell you something just ain't right
My head is on loose but my shoes are tight
Avoiding my fiends 'cause t all bug
Life is like a riddle and I'm really stumped
If you reason, don't you know
Your own preoccupation is where you'll go
I think I'm being followed, I look around
It's only my shadow creepin' on the ground

Refrain
Gotta get away from me (x 2)
Refrain


Gotta get away from me (x 3)

Genocide

Our lives run different ways
Through the rain I see you in the sun
Our star shines anyway
If you wish upon it we are one

Chorus:
Dog eat Dog
Every day
On our fellow man we prey
Dog eat Dog
To get by
Hope you like my genocide

I find it such a shame
Through the pain I see things as t are
We're served up on a plate
The pedestal is high enough to fall
And if in time
We can see the errors of our ways
Would anyone change it anyhow
Our time is up

Refrain x 2

I bet you'd only run
If you saw what goes inside our own
I bet you'd lead the way
If it were up to you decide
But it's not


Refrain (x 2)

hum...I especially enjoy that one. Let's see what's next...

Something To Believe In

I believe that reality's gone
Disillusion's real
I believe that reality's gone
And there's nothing to feel

If you take secret things
Things that we hold dear
Hands of crime is all you'll find
So give me somethin'

Somethin' to believe in x 4

I believe in the changin' of the guard
Put our feet on the ground
See how it is in your own backyard
Everything breaks down

Do you accept what you are told
Without even thinking
Throw it all you'll make your own
So give me somethin'

Somethin' to believe in x 4

Where t lead
You will follow
Well I guess that's just the way it goes

And if you go away
You'll be doing what they say
And if you've got a life
You'll be seeing that it's right

If you take home anything
Let it be your own two feet
The more single you become
The better off you'll be

Somethin' to believe in (x 8)

Come Out And Play (Keep'Em Separated)

You gotta keep ‘em separated

Like the latest fashion
Like a spreading disease
The kids are strappin‘ on their way to the classroom
Getting weapons with the greatest of ease

The gangs stake their own campus locale
And if they catch you slippin‘ then it‘s all over pal
If one guys colors and the others don‘t mix
They‘re gonna bash it up

Hey – man you talkin‘ back to me?
Take him out
You gotta keep ‘em separated

Hey – man you disrespecting me?
Take him out
You gotta keep ‘em separated

Hey they don‘t pay no mind
If you‘re under 18 you won‘t be doing any time
Hey come out and play

By the time you hear the siren
It‘s already too late
One goes to the morgue and the other to jail
One guy‘s wasted and the other‘s a waste

It goes down the same as the thousand before
No one‘s getting smarter
No one‘s learning the score
Your never ending spree of death and violence and hate
Is gonna tie your own rope

Self Esteem

I wrote her off for the tenth time today
And practice all the things I would say
But she came over
I lost my nerve
I took her back and made her dessert
Now I know I'm being used
That's okay man'cause I like the abuse
I know she's playing with me
That's okay'cause I got no self esteem

We make plans to go out at night
I wait till 2 then I turn out the light
All this rejection's got me so low
If she keeps it up I just might tell her no


Refrain:
When she's saying that she wants only me
Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends
When she's saying that I'm like a disease
Then I wonder how much more I can spend
Well I guess I should speak up for myself
But I really think it's better this way
The more you suffer
The more it shows you really care
Right ?

Now I'll relate this little bit
That happens more than I'd like to admit
Late at night she knocks on my door
Drunk again and looking to score
Now I know I should say no
But that's kind of hard when she's ready to go
I may be dumb
But I'm not a dweeb
I'm just a sucker with no self esteem

Refrain

It'll Be A Long Time

All this time has whittled away
Like so many days in one
Back and forth the leaders sway
Backing it up with guns

Pre-Chorus:
Superpowers flex their wings
Hold the world on puppet strings
Egos will feed
While citizens bleed
That's always the way it goes

Refrain:
When will the world listen to reason
I've a feeling it'll be a long time
When will the truth come in to season
I've a feeling it'll be a long time x 2

All t want is what t can defend
Before their time is up
Make the same mistakes again
Heard it all before

Pre-Refrain + Refrain
I've a feeling it'll be a long time

Well if t tried maybe t'd see
It'd do a little good to let the world be free
Handshake and a smile gets you on through
Then turn it all around with a suicide move

But you know it's not fooling anyone but me
You gotta make yourself see what you want to see
But you know it's not fooling anyone but me
You gotta make yourself see what you want to see

Pre-Refrain + Refrain

Killboy Powerhead

He's a pistol grip
And a lightning rod hammer step
He always busts his knuckles
When he's wrenchin' up his shit

Refrain:
He just a Killboy Powerhead
Killboy Powerhead (x 3)

You know I saw his woman
She was writing his name in blood
You know I saw his woman
Hard as a rock
She said she was his baby
Who looked just like the Hoover Dam
You know I saw his woman
Hard as a rock

He just a Killboy Powerhead
Killboy Powerhead (x 3)

répéter 1er Couplet + Refrain

What Happened To You ?

Before you started tokin' you used to have a brain
But now you don't get even the simplest of things
I can draw a little picture or even use my hands
I try to explain but you just don't understand

Refrain:

Man you're really losin' it
And you've really done a lot of junk now
But you keep on abusin' it
What in the world happened to you ?

It's bad enough you do it to yourself
But taking someone with you
Well you know that's something else
I say I'm not that kind of person
I'm not that kind of man
I try to explain but you just don't understand

Refrain x 2

I might be sympathetic or cut a little slack
If I thought that you were willing to give a little back
But you do it in the morning
You do it in the night
You lie to Chorus from just facing your life

So I'll see you tomorrow
You'll be gackin' up again I'll see you in a coffin by the time your wad is spent
I think of all the times that I tried to lend a hand
I try to explain but you just don't understand

Refrain

So Alone

Look at the crowd and tell me whether
All are surrounded
But none are together
If you're awake, look all around
At all of the people
Still you're so alone

So alone (x 3)

If I could, I'd make a suggestion
Without sounding preachy
Or begging the question
Melt with your minds
Melt with each other
Don't be surrounded, don't be so alone

So alone (x 3)

Not The One

I'm not the one who made the world what it is today
I'm not the one who'caused the problems started long ago
But now I deal with all the consequences that troubles our times
I carry on and never once have even questioned why
I'm innocent
But the weight of the world is on my shoulders
I'm innocent
But the battles started are far from over

We're not the ones who leave the homeless in the streets at night
We're not the ones who've kept minorities and women down
Still we grow and then the problems become our own
We carry on without even realizing why

We're innocent
But the weight of the world is on our shoulders
We're innocent
But the battles left us are far from over

We're innocent
But the weight of the world is on our shoulders
We're innocent
But the battles left us are far from over

We're innocent
But the weight of the world is on our shoulders
We're innocent
But the battles left us are far from over

We're not the ones whose pollution blackened our skies
And ruined our streams
We're not the ones who made the nuclear bombs
That threaten our lives
We're not the ones who let the children starve in faraway lands
We're not the ones who made the streets unsafe to walk at night

And even if we try and not become so overwhelmed
And if we make some contribution to the plight we see
Still our descendents will inherit our mistakes of today
T'll suffer just the same as we and never wonder why

Smash

Head over heals I've fit in before
Now I don't wanna do it no more
I've held it all in with blood on my face
Built it up man so bad you can taste

I don't slag no one
I don't even judge
Don't give a shit 'cause I'm not gonna budge
I just want to be who I want to be
Guess that's hard for others to see

Refrain:
I'm not a trendy asshole
I do what I want
I do what I feel like
I'm not a trendy asshole
Don't give a fuck
If it's good enough for you
'Cause I am alive

Smash is the way you feel all alone
Like an outcast you're out on your own
Smash is the way you deal with your life
Like an outcast you're smashing your strife

Head over heels I've fit in before
Now I don't want to do it no more
I just want to be who I want to be
Guess that's hard for others to see

Refrain

Head over heals I've fit in before
Now I don't wanna do it no more
I just want to be who I want to be
Guess that's hard for others to see

Refrain
