7. AMERICA GOT IT RIGHT

I was in Chico, California,
Talking to a foreinger,
When a facist threatened me
He hoped to threaten-to harass
Cause although he could kick my ass-he knew

He could never kill what I believe

The best of the best, the best in the world - THE USA!
Sinking - no drowning in a sea of excess gluttony
As the rest of the world does struggle
To keep up the pace
It seems America got it right by doing...
The Rest Of The World Wrong!

Zero knowledge of understanding,
Of U.S. governemntal actions, in the states of overseas
Mystified history, Quotes spewed from corporate media waves-
Turns the public into a herd of sheep

Equal Rights. Justice. Democratic Role.
Freedom. Equality.
All just a total, FUCK YOU!
Empty words in the president slurs, in every speech
While scheming behind closed doors, with the C.I.A.
To undermine DEMOCRACY!
To undermine AUTONOMY!
To undermine the stability of any leftist populus regime
Making the president a TERRORIST!
Making the U.S.A. a TERRORIST!
U.S. tax dollars fund, terror, terror, terror... TERROR!!!

It seems america must have gotten it right!


8. SMASH IT TO PIECES

A psychic said to me - (What Did She Say?)
She said, You know I gotta a very special feeling,
That truth and freedom will break out today!
(Break Down The Walls Today!)
Cause there's a message in the cards- it reads:
Today's the day to break the fuckin' mold!
Smash It To Pieces,
While singing 1,2... 1,2,3,4...

Paper to pen; yeah smash it all to pieces
Become a vehicle that blossoms thruth and freedom
Every city, every street, every town-
New pulse; heartbeat!

A vision came to me - (IN A DREAM?)
Not in a dream while sitting at the subway station
Waiting for the train to take me away
(From This Wretched Dark Place!)
It might have been an angel or a ghost -
I don't know?
But its message came through
Shining crystal clear:
SMASH IT TO PIECES,
While singing 1,2... 1,2,3,4...

There's not a name you can assign it
More than a movement
It's the fabric that makes up a human being
There's nothing stupid but love,
Caring, peace instead of guns
So now we've got to
Take to that message to the streets!
Through our art, through our hard work,
Get on your feet!


9. NO BORDERS, NO NATIONS

I always thought if you want to change the world
Then you have to start with yourself
So if the heads of state want to end terrorism
They should go ahead and kill themselves

I will not sign my blind faith away
To an unjustly leader of the unjust police state
Corporate masters live in their cess pool
Of extreme wealth and excess
Whoa Oh

The phrase world leaders
Does not describe the heads of state
Those few in power
Work only for the corporate sake
No action, no interest, no humanity at all
As the corporate towers rise up
They watch the people fall

A government untouchable by the people,
Run by the corporations of the world
Enslaving mothers, fathers, sons, and daughters
Profits put before people
Equal force, equal reaction
Equal suppression, equal intimidations
Equal prosecution, equal propaganda,
Equal rebellion

I won't sign my blind faith away
To an unjustleader of the unjust police state
Corporate masters live in their lapse pool
Of extreme wealth and excess
Whoa Oh

The phrase world leaders
Does not describe the heads of state
Those few in power
Work only for the corporate sake
No action, no interest, no humanity at all
As the corporate towers rise up..

We've got to make a change
No religions, sexual preference
And regardless of your race
We've got to make a change
No war, corporate run
Governments, no police state
We've got to make a change
For the good of the human race

And you still look me in the eye
And you still wonder why
Your cities fucking burn

No borders, no nations
No flags, no patriots


10. GIFTS FROM AMERICA: WITH LOVE, THE U.S.A.

The world keeps turning and I keep fighting
'Cause what else are you to do?
When there's a fascist telling you,
It's time you were put in your place!
As he salutes the Stars and Stripes
By raising fists and starting fights,
Like an aberration from Hitler's Nazi Riech

Not Proud - Of My Skin
NOT PROUD - Of where I live
I'm fucking proud of who I am!

National pride inside you
Building you up, or limiting you?

Everyone keeps asking,
Why's he so pissed and so angry?
When there's killing in this world,
Of men and womyn, boys and girls
For the sake of a dividend gain
These actions proclaimed in our name,
Turn Stars and Stripes to shades of shame
Gifts from America: With Love, The U.S.A

NOT PROUD - Of my skin
NOT PROUD - Of where I live
I'm fucking proud of who I am... I AM HUMAN!

National pride inside you
Building you up, or limiting you?
Fighting for what on the battlefield?
Humanity? Corporate control and greed?

This country's flag flies as a corporate symbol
This country's flag strikes hearts with fear-COLD FEAR!
This country's flag represents oil interests
The president wages an endless war so he can,
Justify stealing fucking billions
Steal the public's rights through the use of fear, use of fear...
That is a system I can not endorse

National pride inside you
Building you up, or limiting you?
Fighting for what on the battlefield?
Humanity? Corporate control and greed?
Look for the truth you'll see...
Madison And Jefferson
Are Turning In Their Graves!


11. THE FREAKS, NERDS, & ROMANTICS [Originally by Bouncing Souls]

I got a song stuck in my head
Walking down street number nine
I sing it out loud with my friends
And we're all having a good time
We all waited for weeks
Now we're hanging on the street in NYC
We gotta go to the show
Even though we're all underage
Outside the firehall in PA
It rained on three hundred kids all day
When the cops shut it down no one went away

We're Gonna Play No Matter What They Say

Three or four people showed up in Albuquerque
The alternator died
Somewhere between Mankato and Rapid City
Strangers in some strange lands in L.A.
The enchiladas made us sick but that's ok
Growing Up
We didn't want to be like them
It was tough to know
Who were our friends
Killing time playing basements
Way back when
In a lot of ways nothings changed
From now and them
Some say they have been let down
I wonder why they still hang around
I wonder where all these good things could be
Then I realize that somehow I found them in me

We're Gonna Play No Matter What They Say


12. EVER FALLEN IN LOVE

You spurn my natural emotions
You make me feel like dirt
And I'm hurt
And if I start a commotion
I run the risk of losing you
And that's worse

Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
You shouldn't have fallen in love with?

I can't see much of the future
Unless we find out what's to blame
What a shame
And we won't be together much longer
Unless we realize that we
Are the same

Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
You shouldn't have fallen in love with?

You stir my natural emotions
You make me feel like dirt
And I'm hurt
And if I start a commotion
I'll only end up losing you
And that's worse

Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
You shouldn't have fallen in love with?
