Rancid : Life Won't Wait
Letras
1. INTRO
The phenomena you are about to witness
Could well revolutionize your way of thinking
We are presenting startling facts and evidence
That take up where explanations leave off
Some of these revelations will very well go against things You have been taught
And perhaps believed all your life
Prepare yourself for the evidence which will follow...
2. BLOODCLOT
Hey Ho, Hey Ho, Hey Ho, Hey Ho, Hey Ho
Well I'm a crazy upsetter (Driving me insane)
Yea I'm a street wise professor (Who am I to blame?)
Now if you listen to the record (Do you feel the same?)
Well it don't get any better (Going backwards again)
Whoa swing your fists, whack stitches in the face
Fuck ups on me I feel sorry I work here
Never been like them with this society
Life protects me feeling the finality
Now my guns are blazin'
Bloodclot I can see 360
Now my guns are blazin'
Pick it back up and start it all over again
Hey Ho, Hey Ho
Well I'm a bad motherfucker (Driving me insane)
So don't you even bother (Who am I to blame?)
Cause when I listen to the record (Do you feel the same?)
And it don't get any better (Going backwards again)
I read your words, I read your banner of hope
Well I kick my way in it seems to piss you all off
Well I try to shut the gates the walls are fading
I climb from the depths of hell I'm escaping/unscathed
Now my guns are blazin'
Bloodclot I can see 360
Now my guns are blazin'
Pick it back up and start it all over again
Hey Ho, Hey Go
Now my guns are blazin'
Bloodclot I can see 360
Now my guns are blazing
Pick it back up and start it all over again
Bloodclot
Oh yeah
Well I can see 360
I can see all around me
Ah yeah
Nah na na nah nah
Hey Ho, Hey Ho, Hey Ho
Nah na na nah nah
Well I can see 360
Hey Ho, Hey Ho!
3. HOOVER STREET
She's a Salvador immigrant, head through a thin wall
A frail hooker, holding her carnal walls
Gleaming sky scraper bunker he looked down
Laugh hysterically and then he spread around
On Hoover Street, then he must be alone
The precious little, the kid cashed/cast the woes
Of a ? girl she kind of made you spill
Her brother Mario got shot 4 times in da head
Now see poor Mario, he caught a hot one
Through the lung, now he's done so God bless the man
And the cocaine moves too fast through their system
Like a river forever winding
To the last party of the under/loner class
Distance just a bunch of kids who don't wanna finish last
Now see the market place has changed the weight of the scale
You either get out and die or go to jail
And your best intentions splinter and frail/fail
And a few weeks of promises and attempts fail
It's a glass-pipe murder
Glass-pipe murder
Oh yeah
Glass-pipe murder
It's a glass-pipe murder
Oh yeah!!!
(Oh yeah!!!)
(Oh yeah!!!)
(Oh yeah!!!)
They kick a bottle of beer and a letter
Simple (sip of?) things made Mario feel better
You see it falls on you and it falls on me
Self-annihilation, catastrophe
Two packs of cigarettes
For two dollars and seventy cents and a
Bottle of wine that's been opened
And he said, "Why do I do this?"
A shiver through his body like a bottle of CC
Not encouraging reality or me
He said, "It's who I am baby, back to it."
Off the deep end the record changed
You see, no one stood up and cheered for him
Everyone sat down with something that happened
Began... to happen
It's an old school dorm mystery
And the handcuffs bleed...
It's a glass-pipe murder
Glass-pipe murder
Oh yeah
Glass-pipe murder
It's a glass-pipe murder
Oh yeah!!!
(Oh yeah!!!)
(Oh yeah!!!)
(Oh yeah!!!)
Who was the killer?... it's in the...
4. BLACK LUNG
Sign a petition under working condition
Union is in bed with the coal operators (call of berettas)
Carry are freedom looking for something
To get you family better life for every single day
Some things keep me going
Well I got no one to blame
Five o'clock is comin'
Do you feel the same?
When a lonely whistle
Calls out your name?
What a man likes to see
When they come after mine
No prejudice for the mighty black lung
Rank and file workers, rank and file minds
Take off the gloves and sock it to 'em
Some things keep me going
Well I got no one to blame
Five o'clock is comin'
Do you feel the same?
When a lonely whistle
Calls out your name?
Hey young believer/unbeliever (Hey)
Black lung fever (Hey)
Transmit receiver (Hey)
Stand up deceiver (Hey)
Well I don't like it either (Hey)
We're all presidents for the (Hey)
Black lung fever (Hey)
Some things keep me going
Well I got no one to blame
Five o'clock is comin'
Do you feel the same?
When a lonely whistle
Calls out your name ?
5. LIFE WON'T WAIT
[Lars]
Teach the children and disciples to wage a brand of war
Religious and prestigious keep the quest for the holy grail
The eye atop the pyramid is open and awake
The pagans own the rituals and the quiet world begins to say
[Chorus:]
The vision is a new world order
The vision is a new world order
The vision is a new world order
Come along and tell your sister and your brother
[Tim]
The force of war, dynamite blast, writhes on the weak and the poor
Don't wanna see my brother in pain
When the little man fighting all big men's wars
Don't know nothing 'bout no red, white and blue
Little men bring the big man too
Too many win, nobody lose, it all comes down to what will they choose
[Chorus]
[Lars]
The conscience of the public can not be put to sleep
The conglomerate of the nations has no bounds in which they seek
Was it the mob tellin' the CIA to put us all in this state of fear
How many of us wish we were at Jeff Kennedy's hearing say
[Chorus]
[Buju]
See them try to rule the world
We don't know why
Why they want to rule the world
Cuya!
Only white men and black men's..? the white power ?
The guns of mass destruction, them fighting about
Buying the world is only so much money
Here they come to bring him down to his knees
World wide hunger ? one fear
Well gangster treaties who keep us in fear
How much more can our people bear?
Need no more division
Need no more pride and I
I will keep on fighting to keep what's mine
We the people speaking our mind
And once more, would you say it for me now?
[Tim]
Dynamite blast of the force of war
Government rides on the weak and poor
Don't want to see my brother in pain no more
When the little man fights all the big men's war
[Buju]
Victimize
Mental slavery with the clever disguise
Our prides on our people must rise
Decide your fate but
Life won't wait
Life won't wait
Oh, life won't wait
[Chorus x2]
6. NEW DRESS
Ah no!
No no!
Go!!!
With a gleaming success
With a different try
Religious indifference
Mixed between the lies/lines
Territorial company they legitimize
Persecution to form enterprise
The UN is called
To buffer it all
The problem is spreading international
Like Ireland's Belfast it's coming to be
A brand new key
Working class girl puts her money to the test... Yeah
She's got a new dress
She's gonna look her best
Yugoslavia's been blown to bits... Yeah
She's got a new dress
She's lookin' to the west
Well entertain the idea of a peaceful end
Takes all ? (? some things slow down to the used-to-been ?)
Of a world which is seen the citizens die
While the innocent children play near fire now
When I'm not getting through, and see evidence
Another truth, we're bombing us
The time for civil war is the sooner I live
The chivalrous ones are never represented
Working class girl puts her money to the test... Yeah
She's got a new dress
She's gonna look her best
Yugoslavia's been blown to bits... Yeah
She's got a new dress
She's lookin' to the west
Allocating people for ?
The methods of the summons are dastardly
Try to cleanse the hands of the murdering
But the apendage of guilt is lingering
Shadows of soldier lay nearby
The dead ones finally reach a compromise
Destruction of war lies in Bosnia
The destruction of war lies in Bosnia
7. WARSAW
(That is the vision of the anarchist... it is also a boy's dream)
True to Warsaw, glad we did it
Beat him down with a baseball bat
Police retreated with riot sheilds in fear of a baseball bat
Working class intellectuals, disillusion you for sure
Broken dreams in warsaw, with our baseball bat
American baseball bat!
Demolish the discotheque!
And how many blows to his forearm and neck
'Til he lay in the schoolyard, bludgeoned to death!
December 13, 1981, who remembers a loaded gun?
Who remembers the first morning of martial law?
Hey, you should bring that Louisville
Yeah man, you know where
Yeah man, our economic hardships in Warsaw
American baseball bat!
Demolish the discotheque!
And how many blows to his forearm and neck
'Til he lay in the schoolyard, bludgeoned to death!
Hey! All alone, bludgeoned to death!
8. HOOLIGANS
(Rancid?... Jah love...)
Yeah!
Here's the new face of rock-n'-roll!
It's about fightin' toe to toe...
Hard times come,
Yeah the hard times go.
When I say, come one, come all.
Well all the hooligans and rude boys know one thing for sure,
Scars been stricken on their face
Well all the hooligans and rude boys know one thing for sure,
Scars been stricken on their face
One man's decision brings another's opposition completely unbound.
Down on the flats where the seaside meets my lonely youngtown
Well all the rudies and skins well they're out on the streets making the way on the dole,
Between the bottles and sex they smash and they wreck for something to live
Well all the hooligans and rude boys know one thing for sure,
Scars been stricken on their face.Well all the hooligans and rude boys know one thing for sure,
Scars been stricken on their face.
Sometimes you know there's no place to go,
But to a long life of crime.
Yeah but it's so wrong to steal,
Someone's very last meal to profit up a dime.
Your poe poes and greys well they end up in jail gonna swing the cowboys
Well you took a bite outta the apple of decision that got ya there boy.
Well all the hooligans and rude boys know one thing for sure,
Scars been stricken on their face
Well all the hooligans and rude boys know one thing for sure,
Scars been stricken on their face
Hooligans and rude boys, I don't want no racial hatred
"Black and white, who are portrayed without bias
These are the people whose voice I want to be..."
I said the hooligans!
Rancid
Rude boys!
Rancid
Hooligans!
Rancid
Rude boys!
Rancid
Well all the hooligans and rude boys know one thing for sure,
Scars been stricken on their face
Well all the hooligans and rude boys know one thing for sure,
Ahhh ahhhh ahhhhhh...
9. CRANE FIST
And the fighting and the robbing induce slavery
A decision, a descention into insanity
Oh no!!!
Some people live illegal - What you got you can't keep here
Oh no!!!
Some people live illegal - All their lives led in evil
Humility will hold you and never let you go
To all my friends well, much gratitude
And to all the wicked, I've got my eyes on you
And everyone stands in confusion
Oh no!!!
Some people live illegal - What you got you can't keep here
Oh no!!!
Some people live illegal - All their lives led in evil
(To do the job, you've got to prepare yourself to die.. die... die...)
Put 'em up, put 'em in, run 'em out, run quicker
Cool to the breath, G, quicker than liquor
Quicker than any motherfucker that I know
Rack 'em up and stomp 'em wherever he will go
Rancid blank, I'm a blast it
Blasted lyrics everlasted
With a 12 gauge double barrel lyric gun
Shoot 'em up free and smack down
(Go... go ... go)
Reconcile with the culturalist
Proclamation to the nihilist
Down to the propagandist
Take me off of that fucking list
Open the jails and set the men free
Well the devils and witches are looming on me
And the fighting and the robbing induce slavery
A decision of dissension into insanity
Oh no!!!
Some people live illegal - What you got you can't keep here
Oh no!!!
Some people live illegal - All their lives led in evil
(Go... go... go...)
Oh no!!!
Some people live illegal - What you got you can't keep here
Oh no!!!
Some people live illegal - All their lives led in evil
10. LEICESTER SQUARE
I got some hard times, two punks upon a subway
It's a long way to go to get to Leicester Square
A hard line - It's the one you gotta cross
The one you gotta cross, to get you anywhere
Michael's on his way to payback syndication
Of fisticuffs, retired (?) and his backstreet education
The 8-ball stops him low
Demonstrations show
It's crystal clear it ain't so great for those who become broken here yeah
I got none
I got no mind for... nothing
I got no insight, I got no feelings
I got nothing that you want, so stay away from here
The cocaines out, then is world goes (?) down, the prime objective: Fear
To rival forces from different times and places nowhere near
The tension begins to grow
His instincts tell him so
He (...?) yeah
I got none
I got no mind for... nothing
I got no insight, I got no feelings
I got nothing that you want, so stay away from here
Yeah!!!
Ah no no!!!
Ah no!!!

It's a long way to go to get to Leicester Square
A hard line - It's the one you gotta cross
The one you gotta cross, to get you anywhere
Mike gets whipped, his bull-face slapped around a cheap cigar
His gang comes in cause they're always seeing the trouble from afar
He act so (....?)

I got nothing that you want, so stay away from here
11. BACKSLIDE
Los Angeles take your dreams away
Burnin' on the ground
At the end of the day it's your life, your loss
And you can't turn the clock around
I said: Oh my god, you can have her for that,
But you better not miss a shot
You're letting yourself get into all kinds of danger
Soon enough you're gonna get caught
They had a feeling.
It was like you had to prove you're one in a million
And on top of that junk he's been dealing
This time the drugs are you
And they'll come through
It ain't gonna stop 'til they get what they want
And I say
Nobody knows me, I'm all alone
Ah yayayayay I gotta go
It's a Hollywood bus stop and the party's over
Ah yayayayay I gotta go
John couldn't flag his homeboy down so he waited for a ride
Then waited to confide in Hollywood's concert backslide
With affordable lives and a sunroof, nestled among the filth
Infrequencies and bad intentions, gotta take it for what it's worth
They had a feeling.
It was like you had to prove you're one in a million
And on top of that junk he's been dealing
This time the drugs are you
And they'll come through
It ain't gonna stop 'til they get what they want
And I say
Nobody knows me, I'm all alone
Ah yayayayay I gotta go
It's a Hollywood bus stop and the party's over
Ah yayayayay I gotta go
Have you ever been haunted by your past
And it will never let you go
Well never never let you go
No! I said
Well never never let you go
And I say
Nobody knows me, I'm all alone
Ah yayayayay I gotta go
It's a Hollywood bus stop and the party's over
Ah yayayayay I gotta go
12. WHO WOULD'VE THOUGHT
Who would've thought that the dreams come true?
And who would've thought I ended up with you?
And who would've thought what they said was true?
But it was and you are, light in darkness come through
Silhouetted palm trees backing it up against the sky
Echo Park sunset, an ambulance drives by
But someone went down
And I wonder who
Faces flash forward, it could be anybody I knew
So I drank like a fish and I crawled like a rat
Through the city of shit I ended up on my back
But I can't believe you're with me after dark
So let it come together in Echo Park
And I say
Who would've thought that the dreams come true?
And who would've thought I ended up with you?
And who would've thought what they said was true?
But it was and you are, light in darkness come through
A red flag and your body wins
Or a snake bite, gotta start again
So I'm fucked up and watching TV all day
I don't wanna see what Ricki Lake gotta say
And it hits me when I'm alone, I'm an angry man
I start singing to myself I got dealt a shitty hand
With all these feelings my heart could explode
So is it not fear, knowing it all
And I say
Who would've thought that the dreams come true?
And who would've thought I ended up with you?
And who would've thought what they said was true?
It was and you are, light in darkness come through
Nah nah nah nah nah
Who would've thought that the dreams come true?
And who would've thought I ended up with you?
And who would've thought what they said was true?
But it was and you are, light in darkness come through
13. CASH, CULTURE AND VIOLENCE
Yeah!
She says his power is what's happening
Well I'll be sure to be respecting nothing's stopping him
And to move up for him about crushing them
And I'll kick you plain and simple it's a sin man
Leave it to the coroner to detect this
And I'm sure the U.S.A. to wreck this
He drives a tricked out tricked out tricked out Lexus
And he looks at the city says I can take this
It's high into a corner where the one leads
Well it's so fucking high that your nose bleeds
They watch you break the nose out of respect
You broke the nose that is correct
The gates of hell are they closing in
The victim's family going condemn him
He said, "Ah don't trust them"
Yeah he'll show them
The sword, the jewel, imagination
Cash, culture and violence
Violence, wealth and knowledge
Cash, culture and violence
Oh you're ridng and you're riding on the wings of destruction
Cash, culture and violence
It's the sword, the jewel, imagination
Cash, culture and violence
Poisoned like a rat who drank some strychnine gin
How many men can say they been allow this to happen
Bureaucratic military federation
Living dead will need to rise again
The delicate skipped it heard the rumble
And the legions that are timid lord they crumble
And consequently nothing but a concrete jungle
And lord I wonder
The sword, the jewel, imagination
Cash, culture and violence
Violence, wealth and knowledge
Cash, culture and violence
Oh you're ridng and you're riding on the wings of destruction
Cash, culture and violence
It's the sword, the jewel, imagination
Cash, culture and violence
Nickels, diamonds, can't be found
There's no one, nothing, come straight down
Psychosomatic, come straight down,
You stopped cold from your nervous breakdown
Yeah!!!
The sword, the jewel, imagination
Cash, culture and violence
Violence, wealth and knowledge
Cash, culture and violence
Oh you're ridng and you're riding on the wings of destruction
Cash, culture and violence
It's the sword, the jewel, imagination
Cash, culture and violence
(Cash!!!... Culture!!! Violence!!!)
14. COCKTAILS
Broke, dough, dope, the line is choked
Smoked the last dollar to her name
Are you buying?
Are you selling girl?
Talking square never change
And if I really wanna know
What it means for her to be free
Oh she's mixing cocktails
In a squat down Avenue C
(Lord have mercy!)
The parasitic clean on the most list easy
Ah, don't give her a fight
The ditch is shallow so I know
There won't be no fucking rainbow inside
And they deny allegations so strenuously
Oh man, don't get outta control
She was left wrestling in her silent anger
So hell I can't be there for her
I ain't looking for answers
I don't want nothing is for free
I sure don't want your respect
I just wanna know who's talking to me
I just wanna know who's talkin' to me
I know she's jackin, homegirls mackin'
Tried to make sure, am I in love?
So she fixes them, oh to confuse them
Oh I know that, girl that's what you do
She made relationships and then runs the other way
Unstoppable for you and me
She won't relinquish herself to you, and I sense an emergency
She can cry, she can hide in the lower east side
There's a road in the fast lane cursed
Above all the infamous, wicked circus of the fools
And if I really want to know how the pernicious stay on top
Oh they don't break, no they don't fake
They make her wake
They don't stop
I ain't looking for answers
I don't want nothing is for free
I sure don't want your respect
I just wanna know who's talking to me
I just wanna know who's talkin' to me
Yeah
I just wanna know who's talkin' to me
I just wanna know
I just wanna know who's talkin' to me
15. THE WOLF
I didn't trust him, 'cause he smiled at me first
Just like the wolf before he bites me
And I didn't go there, I swear that it was cursed
Just as if it was to despite me
I saw some better days, from Beijing to Hunter Place
A portrait of the sum of the last couple years
See I lost an image, an image of chaos
All I've ever known is isolation and pain?
I'm on the verge of losing everything, every single day
In all this deadly drama you know I see myself fall
I've been confusing
A lost canyon
Consuming it all
I didn't trust him, cause he smiled at me first
Just like the wolf before he bites me
And I didn't go there, I swear that it was cursed
Just as if it was to despite me
So I may be antisocial and shy, and yo I found myself a job
But I journey and complain, through incredible odds
Its the simple things i guess, a delicate balance
I never really thought I could make it all happen
Now the anarchist kid gives a fuck about you
I stood up every single time I fell
It's just you
It's just you
Consuming it all
I didn't trust him, cause he smiled at me first
Just like the wolf before he bites me
And I didn't go there, I swear that it was cursed
Just as if it was to despite them
I didn't trust him, cause he smiled at me first
Just like the wolf before he bites me
And I didn't go there, I swear that it was cursed
Just as if it was to despite me
Yeah!!!
16. 1998
White Stones, Queens 1974
Fathers talking shit, motherfucker slam the door
Hit the streets runnin' cannot take it any more?
In the reins of the trains I cuddle on the floor
Well the park bench is cold sleeping in the rain
Little kids sitting in the shooting gallery
Set yourself up from manifested mysery
Oh if this is what you want
Not the way of what they fucking say
Hangin out with Sid yet again in the USA
Sidney Sidney in the USA
Lower east side 1976
Who's got the dope and who's turning tricks?
Should I call a loser just for a fix?
Rippin' off some lady just to avoid from gettin' sick
Oh your life is low and you got no where to go
What the fuck happens to your soul when your low
Is he comin' over? is he comin' home?
Your mama's disappointed waiting by the phone
Yeah!!!
Hangin out with Sid yet again in the USA
Sidney Sidney in the USA
Same fuckin' shit 1998
Lifting bait, and by the fuckers that he hates
Hit some fucking people by the Kennedy strait
Who's got the bag gonna seal his fate?
By the park bench cold sitting in the rain
Little kids sitting in the shooting gallery
Set yourself up for manifested mysery
Well this is what you want?
Not the way they fucking say
Hangin out with Sid yet again in the USA
Sidney Sidney in the USA
17. LADY LIBERTY
I want nothing to do with your crazy world
Broken promises, just poor annoyances
I am branded by that time, all abandoned and alone
From the contras to the upstarts to shouting Sandanista
Lady Liberty, come down and bleed on me
You had me to believe that the streets are paved in gold
Storming (terrorists?), then the cold hits
Then I come to find that the streets aren't paved at all
From the contras to the upstarts to shoutin Sandanista
From the contras to the upstarts to shoutin Sandanista
From the Kremlin to Afghanistan to the forgotten ones
The orphans in confusion, to distraught refugees
In the fields of poison ivy, through the famine and disease
You bled my loyalty
Lady Liberty, come down and bleed on me
You had me to believe that the streets are paved in gold
Ohh you tell me, not to worry
About the shortcomings of lives and the high cost of living
From the contras to the upstarts to shoutin Sandanistas
From the contras to the upstarts to shoutin Sandanistas
Shoutin Sandinista!!!

Down at the state house
They said I got some rights and I really shouldn't knock it
Down at the state house
What can we do? [x7]
Broken bones, broken rules

And the others with the fist (its the gospel now)
The strong ones will be defiant with words that can convince
You can take this as rules but I'll take it as a dis
Yeah!!!
Well they wanna hold me with wrongful suspicion
Down at the state house
And I'm all bundled up in an awkward position

Down at the state house
What can we do? [x7]
Hey gettin' crazy watch me
Was it you all along working for the CIA?
Iran contra Panama
American casket parlet (work it now, work it)
Visions of light yes, visions of death no, visions gone astray (oh yeah)
Jump on that DC-10 my man oh and you fly away
Ignore the weak ignore the poor
Down at the state house
They got a real good position for me on the floor... hell no
Down at the state house
They said your gonna make a real real nice world
Down at the state house
But they do not know the law not no at all
Down at the state house

19. TURNTABLE
Yeah!!!
He's gonna go go get it, gonna run run set it
In another white hidden realm (?)
Everybody knows, it's fucking wild and there's no fronting about it
It's not the style, nor a trial. It's the best of love and hate
Come on everybody, lets get together; I appall the backdrop of hate
Well there's no more food on the table
What once was strong, no longer able
And an open mind, no longer stable
And it spin like a DJ's turntable
A million eyeballs and a blink and a smile
With no dimensions of sight
Well within an inch, a billion colors
The entire world's contrast light
Oh it ain't right, another fight
Well it gets so very clear
With my passion on a stud, I walk through
I walk through the vicious ones
And I really don't care
Well there's no more food on the table
What once was strong, no longer able
And an open mind, no longer stable
And it spin like a DJ's turntable
My western mind has a hard time (hard time)
Getting across distrust
Passive resistance, Your assistance:
You're the one smoking dust!
It ain't a style, nor a trial, it's the best of love and hate (love and hate)
Come on everybody lets get together, I appall the backdrop of hate
Well there's no more food on the table
And what once was strong, no longer able
And an open mind, no longer stable
And it spin like a DJ's turntable
Well ya spin like a DJ's turntable
Well ya spin like a DJ's turntable
Well ya spin like a DJ's turntable
20. SOMETHING IN THE WORLD TODAY
Yeaaaaaaaah !!!
There's something in the street tonight
I Don't know what it is, but it won't keep quiet
Breaking through your masses on your radio brodcaster
There's something in the air tonight
And it's turning in to a full fledged riot
Singin' for the last dance, someone tryin' to find the truth
Yeah!!!
Ohh Nine Lives - I'm gonna come right back for you
Ohh Nine Lives - I'm gonna come right back for you
There's something in the world today
Don't know what it is but it sure smells rotten
Babylon's burning and the fire seems waterproof
There's someone in your home tonight
You think you know who they are, but something ain't so right
I look a different way and boy they don't feel the same about me
Yeaaah!!!
Ohh Nine Lives - I'm gonna come right back for you
Ohh Nine Lives - I'm gonna come right back for you
And I run and I run, and I ride and I ride
And I live and I live, and I die and I die
And I know.. it was all for you and me [x4]
21. CORAZON DE ORO
It's over before it starts, oh don't you know
So on your marks, stand by; Ready, go
From London to New York, Montreal to Tokyo
I see visions of her everywhere I go
What have I become?
Now that I'm all alone
I'm just looking for a way to break through these walls and
I'm just looking for a place that I can call my home and
Is anybody out there got a soul?
'Cuz I'm just looking for a girl, the girl with a heart of gold
She overturns once again with her, oh with her champagne taste she goes
Straight down the rathole with her total recklessness
Tomorrow will come on through, and I got nothing but a bad intention (?)
Nothing but a sillouette girl - Met her in darkness
I say.. What have I become?
Now that I'm all alone
I'm just looking for a way to break through these walls and
I'm just looking for a place that I can call my home and
Is anybody out there got a soul?
'Cuz I'm just looking for a girl, the girl with a heart of gold
I said I'm just looking for a girl, the girl with a heart of gold
Yeah I'm in the corner I start over - I start the whole thing clean, yeah
All the pain and heartache in all my years, I was always to blame
And I dream of this girl - yeah an angelical ghost
I met dancing through neighborhood
I'm a down member in a front line - Don't let me be misunderstood
Oh, I'm a downtown member in a front line - Don't let me be misunderstood
(Heart of gold!)
I'm just looking for a way to break through these walls and
I'm just looking for a place that I can call my home and
Is anybody out there got a soul?
'Cuz I'm just looking for a girl, the girl with a heart of gold
I said I'm just looking for a girl, the girl with a heart of gold
22. COPPERS
Yeah Rancid and Buju drop, imagine that
All punk rock masters move inside, all trick masters move inside.
Come out to Brooklyn Town in Coyote Studios..
[repeat 2x]
London you're gonna find them, New York, L.A., back to Kingston
All I see is youth fighting, all I see is youth fighting
Well, in sympathy, there's some integrity, but in
Humility I've come to find a whole lot more
I'm not one to judge, nor I carry a grudge, but I
Refuse to budge my determinating vow
London you're gonna find them (London town)

L.A., Kingston, New York and London, Move, nobody fight, form together as one
This gun pressure soon all be over and done
Refuse a life controlled by Satan, fight back from that with love vibration
Pull out, division, racism, and schism; we gonna make 'em flee, run
Easy, you know it ain't easy, got to make a decision..
Got to learn to say no, no, no...
I burn from inside all the walls, a dead man can't hear all the calls
Who lives like a sheep in the city concrete
Never runs deep and dies from the heat
Coppers and hoods, dead man's stood
It ain't no good when you're misunderstood
When you're rotting in jail, wish you would be
Out on the street like Robin Hood
All those who fall, those who try
Let them go, oh victimize
You see you ain't gonna take their power, demise
Not in your lifetime see more hypnotized, come again
London you're gonna find them (London town)
New York, L.A., back to Kingston (waterhouse)
All I see is youth fighting (youth them all are fightin)
All I see is youth fighting (youth them all are fight)
London you're gonna find them (Brixton)
New York, L.A., back to Kingston (Kingston, JA)
All I see is youth fighting (youth them all are fightin)

Come I said put down your ratchet now, Rudeboy set down your gun
L.A., Kingston, New York and London, Move, nobody fight, form together as one

Refuse a life controlled by Satan, fight back from that with love vibration
Pull out, division, racism, and schism; we gonna make 'em flee, run
Easy, you know it ain't easy, got to make a decision..
Got to learn to say no, no, no...
I burn from inside all the walls, a dead man can't hear all the calls
Who lives like a sheep in the city concrete
Never runs deep and dies from the heat
Heat... heat... heat...heat...

2. BLOODCLOT
Hey Ho, Hey Ho, Hey Ho, Hey Ho, Hey Ho

3. HOOVER STREET
She's a Salvador immigrant, head through a thin wall
A frail hooker, holding her carnal walls
Gleaming sky scraper bunker he looked down
Laugh hysterically and then he spread around
On Hoover Street, then he must be alone
The precious little, the kid cashed/cast the woes
Of a ? girl she kind of made you spill
Her brother Mario got shot 4 times in da head
Now see poor Mario, he caught a hot one
Through the lung, now he's done so God bless the man
And the cocaine moves too fast through their system
Like a river forever winding
To the last party of the under/loner class
Distance just a bunch of kids who don't wanna finish last
Now see the market place has changed the weight of the scale
You either get out and die or go to jail
And your best intentions splinter and frail/fail
And a few weeks of promises and attempts fail
It's a glass-pipe murder
Glass-pipe murder
Oh yeah
Glass-pipe murder
It's a glass-pipe murder
Oh yeah!!!
(Oh yeah!!!)
(Oh yeah!!!)
(Oh yeah!!!)
They kick a bottle of beer and a letter
Simple (sip of?) things made Mario feel better
You see it falls on you and it falls on me
Self-annihilation, catastrophe
Two packs of cigarettes
For two dollars and seventy cents and a
Bottle of wine that's been opened
And he said, "Why do I do this?"
A shiver through his body like a bottle of CC
Not encouraging reality or me
He said, "It's who I am baby, back to it."
Off the deep end the record changed
You see, no one stood up and cheered for him
Everyone sat down with something that happened
Began... to happen
It's an old school dorm mystery
And the handcuffs bleed...
It's a glass-pipe murder
Glass-pipe murder
Oh yeah
Glass-pipe murder
It's a glass-pipe murder
Oh yeah!!!
(Oh yeah!!!)
(Oh yeah!!!)
(Oh yeah!!!)
Who was the killer?... it's in the...
4. BLACK LUNG
Sign a petition under working condition
Union is in bed with the coal operators (call of berettas)
Carry are freedom looking for something
To get you family better life for every single day
Some things keep me going
Well I got no one to blame
Five o'clock is comin'
Do you feel the same?
When a lonely whistle
Calls out your name?
What a man likes to see
When they come after mine
No prejudice for the mighty black lung
Rank and file workers, rank and file minds
Take off the gloves and sock it to 'em
Some things keep me going
Well I got no one to blame
Five o'clock is comin'
Do you feel the same?
When a lonely whistle
Calls out your name?
Hey young believer/unbeliever (Hey)
Black lung fever (Hey)
Transmit receiver (Hey)
Stand up deceiver (Hey)
Well I don't like it either (Hey)
We're all presidents for the (Hey)
Black lung fever (Hey)
Some things keep me going
Well I got no one to blame
Five o'clock is comin'
Do you feel the same?
When a lonely whistle
Calls out your name ?
5. LIFE WON'T WAIT
[Lars]
Teach the children and disciples to wage a brand of war
Religious and prestigious keep the quest for the holy grail
The eye atop the pyramid is open and awake
The pagans own the rituals and the quiet world begins to say
[Chorus:]
The vision is a new world order
The vision is a new world order
The vision is a new world order
Come along and tell your sister and your brother
[Tim]
The force of war, dynamite blast, writhes on the weak and the poor
Don't wanna see my brother in pain
When the little man fighting all big men's wars
Don't know nothing 'bout no red, white and blue
Little men bring the big man too
Too many win, nobody lose, it all comes down to what will they choose
[Chorus]
[Lars]
The conscience of the public can not be put to sleep
The conglomerate of the nations has no bounds in which they seek
Was it the mob tellin' the CIA to put us all in this state of fear
How many of us wish we were at Jeff Kennedy's hearing say
[Chorus]
[Buju]
See them try to rule the world
We don't know why
Why they want to rule the world
Cuya!
Only white men and black men's..? the white power ?
The guns of mass destruction, them fighting about
Buying the world is only so much money
Here they come to bring him down to his knees
World wide hunger ? one fear
Well gangster treaties who keep us in fear
How much more can our people bear?
Need no more division
Need no more pride and I
I will keep on fighting to keep what's mine
We the people speaking our mind
And once more, would you say it for me now?
[Tim]
Dynamite blast of the force of war
Government rides on the weak and poor
Don't want to see my brother in pain no more
When the little man fights all the big men's war
[Buju]
Victimize
Mental slavery with the clever disguise
Our prides on our people must rise
Decide your fate but
Life won't wait
Life won't wait
Oh, life won't wait
[Chorus x2]
6. NEW DRESS
Ah no!
No no!
Go!!!
With a gleaming success
With a different try
Religious indifference
Mixed between the lies/lines
Territorial company they legitimize
Persecution to form enterprise
The UN is called
To buffer it all
The problem is spreading international
Like Ireland's Belfast it's coming to be
A brand new key
Working class girl puts her money to the test... Yeah
She's got a new dress
She's gonna look her best
Yugoslavia's been blown to bits... Yeah
She's got a new dress
She's lookin' to the west
Well entertain the idea of a peaceful end
Takes all ? (? some things slow down to the used-to-been ?)
Of a world which is seen the citizens die
While the innocent children play near fire now
When I'm not getting through, and see evidence
Another truth, we're bombing us
The time for civil war is the sooner I live
The chivalrous ones are never represented
Working class girl puts her money to the test... Yeah
She's got a new dress
She's gonna look her best
Yugoslavia's been blown to bits... Yeah
She's got a new dress
She's lookin' to the west
Allocating people for ?
The methods of the summons are dastardly
Try to cleanse the hands of the murdering
But the apendage of guilt is lingering
Shadows of soldier lay nearby
The dead ones finally reach a compromise
Destruction of war lies in Bosnia
The destruction of war lies in Bosnia
7. WARSAW
(That is the vision of the anarchist... it is also a boy's dream)
True to Warsaw, glad we did it
Beat him down with a baseball bat
Police retreated with riot sheilds in fear of a baseball bat
Working class intellectuals, disillusion you for sure
Broken dreams in warsaw, with our baseball bat
American baseball bat!
Demolish the discotheque!
And how many blows to his forearm and neck
'Til he lay in the schoolyard, bludgeoned to death!
December 13, 1981, who remembers a loaded gun?
Who remembers the first morning of martial law?
Hey, you should bring that Louisville
Yeah man, you know where
Yeah man, our economic hardships in Warsaw
American baseball bat!
Demolish the discotheque!
And how many blows to his forearm and neck
'Til he lay in the schoolyard, bludgeoned to death!
Hey! All alone, bludgeoned to death!
8. HOOLIGANS
(Rancid?... Jah love...)
Yeah!
Here's the new face of rock-n'-roll!
It's about fightin' toe to toe...
Hard times come,
Yeah the hard times go.
When I say, come one, come all.
Well all the hooligans and rude boys know one thing for sure,
Scars been stricken on their face
Well all the hooligans and rude boys know one thing for sure,
Scars been stricken on their face
One man's decision brings another's opposition completely unbound.
Down on the flats where the seaside meets my lonely youngtown
Well all the rudies and skins well they're out on the streets making the way on the dole,
Between the bottles and sex they smash and they wreck for something to live
Well all the hooligans and rude boys know one thing for sure,
Scars been stricken on their face.Well all the hooligans and rude boys know one thing for sure,
Scars been stricken on their face.
Sometimes you know there's no place to go,
But to a long life of crime.
Yeah but it's so wrong to steal,
Someone's very last meal to profit up a dime.
Your poe poes and greys well they end up in jail gonna swing the cowboys
Well you took a bite outta the apple of decision that got ya there boy.
Well all the hooligans and rude boys know one thing for sure,
Scars been stricken on their face
Well all the hooligans and rude boys know one thing for sure,
Scars been stricken on their face
Hooligans and rude boys, I don't want no racial hatred
"Black and white, who are portrayed without bias
These are the people whose voice I want to be..."
I said the hooligans!
Rancid
Rude boys!
Rancid
Hooligans!
Rancid
Rude boys!
Rancid
Well all the hooligans and rude boys know one thing for sure,
Scars been stricken on their face
Well all the hooligans and rude boys know one thing for sure,
Ahhh ahhhh ahhhhhh...

And the fighting and the robbing induce slavery
A decision, a descention into insanity
Oh no!!!
Some people live illegal - What you got you can't keep here
Oh no!!!
Some people live illegal - All their lives led in evil
Humility will hold you and never let you go
To all my friends well, much gratitude
And to all the wicked, I've got my eyes on you
And everyone stands in confusion
Oh no!!!
Some people live illegal - What you got you can't keep here
Oh no!!!
Some people live illegal - All their lives led in evil
(To do the job, you've got to prepare yourself to die.. die... die...)
Put 'em up, put 'em in, run 'em out, run quicker
Cool to the breath, G, quicker than liquor
Quicker than any motherfucker that I know
Rack 'em up and stomp 'em wherever he will go
Rancid blank, I'm a blast it
Blasted lyrics everlasted
With a 12 gauge double barrel lyric gun
Shoot 'em up free and smack down
(Go... go ... go)
Reconcile with the culturalist
Proclamation to the nihilist
Down to the propagandist
Take me off of that fucking list
Open the jails and set the men free
Well the devils and witches are looming on me
And the fighting and the robbing induce slavery
A decision of dissension into insanity
Oh no!!!
Some people live illegal - What you got you can't keep here
Oh no!!!
Some people live illegal - All their lives led in evil
(Go... go... go...)
Oh no!!!
Some people live illegal - What you got you can't keep here
Oh no!!!
Some people live illegal - All their lives led in evil
10. LEICESTER SQUARE
I got some hard times, two punks upon a subway

A hard line - It's the one you gotta cross
The one you gotta cross, to get you anywhere
Michael's on his way to payback syndication
Of fisticuffs, retired (?) and his backstreet education
The 8-ball stops him low
Demonstrations show
It's crystal clear it ain't so great for those who become broken here yeah
I got none
I got no mind for... nothing
I got no insight, I got no feelings
I got nothing that you want, so stay away from here
The cocaines out, then is world goes (?) down, the prime objective: Fear
To rival forces from different times and places nowhere near
The tension begins to grow
His instincts tell him so
He (...?) yeah

I got no mind for... nothing
I got no insight, I got no feelings
I got nothing that you want, so stay away from here
Yeah!!!
Ah no no!!!

Mike gets whipped, his bull-face slapped around a cheap cigar
His gang comes in cause they're always seeing the trouble from afar
He act so (....?)

11. BACKSLIDE
Los Angeles take your dreams away
Burnin' on the ground
At the end of the day it's your life, your loss
And you can't turn the clock around
I said: Oh my god, you can have her for that,
But you better not miss a shot
You're letting yourself get into all kinds of danger
Soon enough you're gonna get caught
They had a feeling.
It was like you had to prove you're one in a million
And on top of that junk he's been dealing
This time the drugs are you
And they'll come through
It ain't gonna stop 'til they get what they want
And I say
Nobody knows me, I'm all alone
Ah yayayayay I gotta go
It's a Hollywood bus stop and the party's over
Ah yayayayay I gotta go
John couldn't flag his homeboy down so he waited for a ride
Then waited to confide in Hollywood's concert backslide
With affordable lives and a sunroof, nestled among the filth
Infrequencies and bad intentions, gotta take it for what it's worth
They had a feeling.
It was like you had to prove you're one in a million
And on top of that junk he's been dealing
This time the drugs are you
And they'll come through
It ain't gonna stop 'til they get what they want
And I say
Nobody knows me, I'm all alone
Ah yayayayay I gotta go
It's a Hollywood bus stop and the party's over
Ah yayayayay I gotta go
Have you ever been haunted by your past
And it will never let you go
Well never never let you go
No! I said
Well never never let you go
And I say
Nobody knows me, I'm all alone
Ah yayayayay I gotta go
It's a Hollywood bus stop and the party's over
Ah yayayayay I gotta go
12. WHO WOULD'VE THOUGHT
Who would've thought that the dreams come true?
And who would've thought I ended up with you?
And who would've thought what they said was true?
But it was and you are, light in darkness come through
Silhouetted palm trees backing it up against the sky
Echo Park sunset, an ambulance drives by
But someone went down
And I wonder who
Faces flash forward, it could be anybody I knew
So I drank like a fish and I crawled like a rat
Through the city of shit I ended up on my back
But I can't believe you're with me after dark
So let it come together in Echo Park
And I say
Who would've thought that the dreams come true?
And who would've thought I ended up with you?
And who would've thought what they said was true?
But it was and you are, light in darkness come through
A red flag and your body wins
Or a snake bite, gotta start again
So I'm fucked up and watching TV all day
I don't wanna see what Ricki Lake gotta say
And it hits me when I'm alone, I'm an angry man
I start singing to myself I got dealt a shitty hand
With all these feelings my heart could explode
So is it not fear, knowing it all
And I say
Who would've thought that the dreams come true?
And who would've thought I ended up with you?
And who would've thought what they said was true?
It was and you are, light in darkness come through
Nah nah nah nah nah
Who would've thought that the dreams come true?
And who would've thought I ended up with you?
And who would've thought what they said was true?
But it was and you are, light in darkness come through
13. CASH, CULTURE AND VIOLENCE
Yeah!
She says his power is what's happening
Well I'll be sure to be respecting nothing's stopping him
And to move up for him about crushing them
And I'll kick you plain and simple it's a sin man
Leave it to the coroner to detect this
And I'm sure the U.S.A. to wreck this
He drives a tricked out tricked out tricked out Lexus
And he looks at the city says I can take this
It's high into a corner where the one leads
Well it's so fucking high that your nose bleeds
They watch you break the nose out of respect
You broke the nose that is correct
The gates of hell are they closing in
The victim's family going condemn him
He said, "Ah don't trust them"
Yeah he'll show them
The sword, the jewel, imagination
Cash, culture and violence
Violence, wealth and knowledge
Cash, culture and violence
Oh you're ridng and you're riding on the wings of destruction
Cash, culture and violence
It's the sword, the jewel, imagination
Cash, culture and violence
Poisoned like a rat who drank some strychnine gin
How many men can say they been allow this to happen
Bureaucratic military federation
Living dead will need to rise again
The delicate skipped it heard the rumble
And the legions that are timid lord they crumble
And consequently nothing but a concrete jungle
And lord I wonder
The sword, the jewel, imagination
Cash, culture and violence
Violence, wealth and knowledge
Cash, culture and violence
Oh you're ridng and you're riding on the wings of destruction
Cash, culture and violence
It's the sword, the jewel, imagination
Cash, culture and violence

Psychosomatic, come straight down,
You stopped cold from your nervous breakdown

The sword, the jewel, imagination
Cash, culture and violence
Violence, wealth and knowledge
Cash, culture and violence
Oh you're ridng and you're riding on the wings of destruction
Cash, culture and violence
It's the sword, the jewel, imagination
Cash, culture and violence
(Cash!!!... Culture!!! Violence!!!)
14. COCKTAILS
Broke, dough, dope, the line is choked
Smoked the last dollar to her name
Are you buying?
Are you selling girl?
Talking square never change
And if I really wanna know
What it means for her to be free
Oh she's mixing cocktails
In a squat down Avenue C
(Lord have mercy!)
The parasitic clean on the most list easy
Ah, don't give her a fight
The ditch is shallow so I know
There won't be no fucking rainbow inside
And they deny allegations so strenuously
Oh man, don't get outta control
She was left wrestling in her silent anger
So hell I can't be there for her
I ain't looking for answers
I don't want nothing is for free
I sure don't want your respect
I just wanna know who's talking to me
I just wanna know who's talkin' to me
I know she's jackin, homegirls mackin'
Tried to make sure, am I in love?
So she fixes them, oh to confuse them
Oh I know that, girl that's what you do
She made relationships and then runs the other way
Unstoppable for you and me
She won't relinquish herself to you, and I sense an emergency
She can cry, she can hide in the lower east side
There's a road in the fast lane cursed
Above all the infamous, wicked circus of the fools
And if I really want to know how the pernicious stay on top
Oh they don't break, no they don't fake
They make her wake
They don't stop
I ain't looking for answers
I don't want nothing is for free
I sure don't want your respect
I just wanna know who's talking to me
I just wanna know who's talkin' to me
Yeah
I just wanna know who's talkin' to me
I just wanna know
I just wanna know who's talkin' to me
15. THE WOLF
I didn't trust him, 'cause he smiled at me first
Just like the wolf before he bites me
And I didn't go there, I swear that it was cursed
Just as if it was to despite me
I saw some better days, from Beijing to Hunter Place
A portrait of the sum of the last couple years
See I lost an image, an image of chaos
All I've ever known is isolation and pain?
I'm on the verge of losing everything, every single day
In all this deadly drama you know I see myself fall
I've been confusing
A lost canyon
Consuming it all
I didn't trust him, cause he smiled at me first
Just like the wolf before he bites me
And I didn't go there, I swear that it was cursed
Just as if it was to despite me
So I may be antisocial and shy, and yo I found myself a job
But I journey and complain, through incredible odds
Its the simple things i guess, a delicate balance
I never really thought I could make it all happen
Now the anarchist kid gives a fuck about you
I stood up every single time I fell
It's just you
It's just you
Consuming it all
I didn't trust him, cause he smiled at me first
Just like the wolf before he bites me
And I didn't go there, I swear that it was cursed
Just as if it was to despite them
I didn't trust him, cause he smiled at me first
Just like the wolf before he bites me
And I didn't go there, I swear that it was cursed
Just as if it was to despite me
Yeah!!!
16. 1998
White Stones, Queens 1974
Fathers talking shit, motherfucker slam the door
Hit the streets runnin' cannot take it any more?
In the reins of the trains I cuddle on the floor
Well the park bench is cold sleeping in the rain
Little kids sitting in the shooting gallery
Set yourself up from manifested mysery
Oh if this is what you want
Not the way of what they fucking say
Hangin out with Sid yet again in the USA
Sidney Sidney in the USA
Lower east side 1976
Who's got the dope and who's turning tricks?
Should I call a loser just for a fix?
Rippin' off some lady just to avoid from gettin' sick
Oh your life is low and you got no where to go
What the fuck happens to your soul when your low
Is he comin' over? is he comin' home?
Your mama's disappointed waiting by the phone
Yeah!!!
Hangin out with Sid yet again in the USA
Sidney Sidney in the USA
Same fuckin' shit 1998
Lifting bait, and by the fuckers that he hates
Hit some fucking people by the Kennedy strait
Who's got the bag gonna seal his fate?
By the park bench cold sitting in the rain
Little kids sitting in the shooting gallery
Set yourself up for manifested mysery
Well this is what you want?
Not the way they fucking say
Hangin out with Sid yet again in the USA
Sidney Sidney in the USA
17. LADY LIBERTY
I want nothing to do with your crazy world
Broken promises, just poor annoyances
I am branded by that time, all abandoned and alone
From the contras to the upstarts to shouting Sandanista
Lady Liberty, come down and bleed on me
You had me to believe that the streets are paved in gold
Storming (terrorists?), then the cold hits
Then I come to find that the streets aren't paved at all
From the contras to the upstarts to shoutin Sandanista
From the contras to the upstarts to shoutin Sandanista
From the Kremlin to Afghanistan to the forgotten ones
The orphans in confusion, to distraught refugees
In the fields of poison ivy, through the famine and disease
You bled my loyalty
Lady Liberty, come down and bleed on me
You had me to believe that the streets are paved in gold
Ohh you tell me, not to worry
About the shortcomings of lives and the high cost of living
From the contras to the upstarts to shoutin Sandanistas
From the contras to the upstarts to shoutin Sandanistas
Shoutin Sandinista!!!
18. WRONGFUL SUSPICION
All right this one goes out to all our friends in New York:
H2O, The Slackers, Stubborn All Stars
Must respect
Hey Tim take it away my man.
Well I heard they fly a confederate flag
Down at the state house
Got a gun to my head from the hand of a man
Down at the state house
Well I reach for a dollar in the hole in my pocket
Down at the state house
They said I got some rights and I really shouldn't knock it
Down at the state house
What can we do? [x7]
Broken bones, broken rules
They can all be fixed (oh yeah)
So let those who battle with the pen
And the others with the fist (its the gospel now)
The strong ones will be defiant with words that can convince
You can take this as rules but I'll take it as a dis
Yeah!!!
Well they wanna hold me with wrongful suspicion
Down at the state house
And I'm all bundled up in an awkward position
Down at the state house
And they say its all part of a hundred year tradition
Down at the state house
And I do feel they got a mental condition
Down at the state house
What can we do? [x7]
Hey gettin' crazy watch me
Was it you all along working for the CIA?
Iran contra Panama
American casket parlet (work it now, work it)
Visions of light yes, visions of death no, visions gone astray (oh yeah)
Jump on that DC-10 my man oh and you fly away
Ignore the weak ignore the poor
Down at the state house
They got a real good position for me on the floor... hell no
Down at the state house
They said your gonna make a real real nice world
Down at the state house
But they do not know the law not no at all
Down at the state house
What can we do? [x7]
All right this one goes out to Sick Of It All,

DJ Ansen, Dave Hillyard and the Rocksteady Seven,
Simon and the Bar Sinisters, Nine Lives,

19. TURNTABLE
Yeah!!!
He's gonna go go get it, gonna run run set it
In another white hidden realm (?)
Everybody knows, it's fucking wild and there's no fronting about it
It's not the style, nor a trial. It's the best of love and hate
Come on everybody, lets get together; I appall the backdrop of hate
Well there's no more food on the table
What once was strong, no longer able
And an open mind, no longer stable
And it spin like a DJ's turntable
A million eyeballs and a blink and a smile
With no dimensions of sight
Well within an inch, a billion colors
The entire world's contrast light
Oh it ain't right, another fight
Well it gets so very clear
With my passion on a stud, I walk through
I walk through the vicious ones
And I really don't care
Well there's no more food on the table
What once was strong, no longer able
And an open mind, no longer stable
And it spin like a DJ's turntable
My western mind has a hard time (hard time)
Getting across distrust
Passive resistance, Your assistance:
You're the one smoking dust!
It ain't a style, nor a trial, it's the best of love and hate (love and hate)
Come on everybody lets get together, I appall the backdrop of hate
Well there's no more food on the table
And what once was strong, no longer able
And an open mind, no longer stable
And it spin like a DJ's turntable
Well ya spin like a DJ's turntable
Well ya spin like a DJ's turntable
Well ya spin like a DJ's turntable
20. SOMETHING IN THE WORLD TODAY
Yeaaaaaaaah !!!
There's something in the street tonight
I Don't know what it is, but it won't keep quiet
Breaking through your masses on your radio brodcaster
There's something in the air tonight
And it's turning in to a full fledged riot
Singin' for the last dance, someone tryin' to find the truth
Yeah!!!
Ohh Nine Lives - I'm gonna come right back for you
Ohh Nine Lives - I'm gonna come right back for you
There's something in the world today
Don't know what it is but it sure smells rotten
Babylon's burning and the fire seems waterproof
There's someone in your home tonight
You think you know who they are, but something ain't so right
I look a different way and boy they don't feel the same about me
Yeaaah!!!
Ohh Nine Lives - I'm gonna come right back for you
Ohh Nine Lives - I'm gonna come right back for you
And I run and I run, and I ride and I ride
And I live and I live, and I die and I die
And I know.. it was all for you and me [x4]
21. CORAZON DE ORO
It's over before it starts, oh don't you know
So on your marks, stand by; Ready, go
From London to New York, Montreal to Tokyo
I see visions of her everywhere I go
What have I become?
Now that I'm all alone
I'm just looking for a way to break through these walls and
I'm just looking for a place that I can call my home and
Is anybody out there got a soul?
'Cuz I'm just looking for a girl, the girl with a heart of gold
She overturns once again with her, oh with her champagne taste she goes
Straight down the rathole with her total recklessness
Tomorrow will come on through, and I got nothing but a bad intention (?)
Nothing but a sillouette girl - Met her in darkness
I say.. What have I become?
Now that I'm all alone
I'm just looking for a way to break through these walls and
I'm just looking for a place that I can call my home and
Is anybody out there got a soul?
'Cuz I'm just looking for a girl, the girl with a heart of gold
I said I'm just looking for a girl, the girl with a heart of gold
Yeah I'm in the corner I start over - I start the whole thing clean, yeah
All the pain and heartache in all my years, I was always to blame
And I dream of this girl - yeah an angelical ghost
I met dancing through neighborhood
I'm a down member in a front line - Don't let me be misunderstood
Oh, I'm a downtown member in a front line - Don't let me be misunderstood
(Heart of gold!)
I'm just looking for a way to break through these walls and
I'm just looking for a place that I can call my home and
Is anybody out there got a soul?
'Cuz I'm just looking for a girl, the girl with a heart of gold
I said I'm just looking for a girl, the girl with a heart of gold
22. COPPERS
Yeah Rancid and Buju drop, imagine that
All punk rock masters move inside, all trick masters move inside.
Come out to Brooklyn Town in Coyote Studios..
[repeat 2x]
London you're gonna find them, New York, L.A., back to Kingston
All I see is youth fighting, all I see is youth fighting
Well, in sympathy, there's some integrity, but in
Humility I've come to find a whole lot more
I'm not one to judge, nor I carry a grudge, but I
Refuse to budge my determinating vow
London you're gonna find them (London town)
New York, L.A., back to Kingston (Waterhouse)
All I see is youth fighting (youth them all are fightin)
All I see is youth fighting (youth them all are fight)
London you're gonna find them (Brixton)
New York, L.A., back to Kingston (Kingston, JA)
All I see is youth fighting (youth them all are fightin)
All I see is youth fighting (youth them all are fight)
Come I said put down your ratchet now, Rudeboy set down your gun
L.A., Kingston, New York and London, Move, nobody fight, form together as one
This gun pressure soon all be over and done
Refuse a life controlled by Satan, fight back from that with love vibration
Pull out, division, racism, and schism; we gonna make 'em flee, run
Easy, you know it ain't easy, got to make a decision..
Got to learn to say no, no, no...
I burn from inside all the walls, a dead man can't hear all the calls
Who lives like a sheep in the city concrete
Never runs deep and dies from the heat
Coppers and hoods, dead man's stood
It ain't no good when you're misunderstood
When you're rotting in jail, wish you would be
Out on the street like Robin Hood
All those who fall, those who try
Let them go, oh victimize
You see you ain't gonna take their power, demise
Not in your lifetime see more hypnotized, come again
London you're gonna find them (London town)
New York, L.A., back to Kingston (waterhouse)
All I see is youth fighting (youth them all are fightin)
All I see is youth fighting (youth them all are fight)
London you're gonna find them (Brixton)
New York, L.A., back to Kingston (Kingston, JA)
All I see is youth fighting (youth them all are fightin)
All I see is youth fighting (youth them all are fight)
Come I said put down your ratchet now, Rudeboy set down your gun
L.A., Kingston, New York and London, Move, nobody fight, form together as one
This gun pressure soon all be over and done
Refuse a life controlled by Satan, fight back from that with love vibration
Pull out, division, racism, and schism; we gonna make 'em flee, run
Easy, you know it ain't easy, got to make a decision..
Got to learn to say no, no, no...
I burn from inside all the walls, a dead man can't hear all the calls
Who lives like a sheep in the city concrete
Never runs deep and dies from the heat
Heat... heat... heat...heat...
[repeat 4x.]
London you're gonna find them (London Town)
New York, L.A., back to Kingston (Kingston, JA, see)
All I see is youth fighting (all the youth a fight)
All I see is youth fighting (all the youth a fight)
London you're gonna find them (London Town)
New York, L.A., back to Kingston (Kingston, JA)
All I see is youth fighting (waterhouse)
All I see is youth fighting (all the youth a fightin)
London you're gonna find them (London Town)
New York, L.A., back to Kingston (Kingston, JA)
All I see is youth fighting (all the youth a fightin)
All I see is youth fighting (all the youth a fightin)
All I see is youth fighting
All I see is youth fighting
All I see is youth fighting...
