Social Distortion : Mainliner (Wreckage from the Past)
Lyrics
1. 1945 (POSH BOY)
Atom bomb, TNT
New disease, poor city
Flying over Hiroshima, 1945
The city looks small from way up here
I wonder who'll survive
[Chorus]
Atom bomb, TNT
New disease, poor city
A blinding flash hotter than the sun
Dead bodies lie across the path
The radiation colors the air
Finishing one by one
[Chorus]
2. PLAYPEN (POSH BOY)
When the cat's away, the mice will play
Beer and drugs and things to say to you
To you
Lots of girls and lots of boys
Loud music and all the toys we need
We need
[Chorus]
We have to go
The neighbors have complained
We have to go
The walls have all been stained
They have to know
They can't stop us now
They have to know
We could burn this town
Old men and kids on the run
Missing teeth and now the damage is done
It's all been done
Losing battles, losing fights
The police would love to take away our rights
Our rights
[Chorus](x2)
3. MAINLINER
Nothing she can do, she's so confused
Something should be done, but she'll refuse
She's got a new fix, to ease her pain
She's got a new fix, to control her brain
Oh, no no no mainliner, mainliner
Out of frustration, she unwraps the foil
Takes out her spoon, starts to boil
She used to be pretty, to all her friends
But the hypodermic needle took her to the end
Oh, no no no mainliner, mainliner
She's boiling up, always in heat
Stick it in again just to keep her beat
This time she'll try a little more
This time we found her on the floor
Oh, no no no mainliner, mainliner...
4. MORAL THREAT
You beat us up when we're alone
Come back later and then you're gone
Now you're tucked away in your bed
And I've got stitches in my head
[Chorus]
Cause you didn't like my looks
Cause I'm not in the fashion books
Admit it, you had some fun,
Just remember, I'm not the only one
You made a show for all your friends
But they're not gonna stick around to the end
Then you're gonna think, "Was it really worth it?"
Then your head is rolling in all that shit
[Chorus]
The justice system is slow it's true
So we'll have to take care of you
You're only safety is suicide
Face it buddy it's the end of the ride
[Chorus]
Moral Threat
5. ALL THE ANSWERS
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,
You won't see these kids in heaven
Colored hair and funny clothes
They are the menace of today
And they won't listen to what you say
But don't forget that they're your future
[Chorus]
They're loud, they're obnoxious and proud
They are conscious
But don't forget that they're your future
They're loud, they're obnoxious they're proud
They are conscious
But don't forget that they're your future
These kids are accused for all the violence
You can't even keep them silent
You thought you had all the answers
You won't be able to make them pay
Cause they're not gonna fade away
Don't forget that they're your future
[Chorus]
Don't forget they're your future
And you thought you had all the answers
6. JUSTICE FOR ALL
We're sitting here in this hell
You know it's like a living hell
Was what you did really a crime?
The judge says you'll have to serve time
It's the law that you're in jail
It's the law that sets your bail
Don't bother to try and fight
It's only a few more nights
The deputy, had a bad night
He had a little fight with his wife
And so he's gonna be pised at work
And he's gonna bum out your life
It's the law that you're in jail
It's the law that sets your bail
Don't bother to try and fight
It's only a few more nights
7. UNDER MY THUMB
Under my thumb' the girl
Who once had me down
Under my thumb's the girl
Who once fucked me around
It's down to me
The way she talks when she's spoken to down to me
Change has come, she's under my thumb
Under my thumb's
The squirmin' dog who's just had her day
Under my thumb's
A girl who has just changed her ways
It's down to me
The difference in the clothes she wears, down to me
Change has come, she's under my thumb
Under my thumb
It's a Siamese
Cat of a girl
Under my thumb
Well, she's the sweetest
Pet in the world
It's down to me
The way she does just what she's told down to me
Change has come, she's under my thumb
Under my thumb
Her eyes are just kept
To herself
Under my thumb
Well, I
I can still look at someone else
It's down to me
The way she comes when I tell her to laugh at me
Change has come, she's under my thumb
Yeah

10. MASS HYSTERIA
An emotional outbreak,
Stepped on by people's feet,
Controlling panic,
Who'll be the next one in line,
A nervous disturbance,
There's a sniper on the top of the roof,
The masses of people,
Fitting through one single door
Atom bomb, TNT
New disease, poor city
Flying over Hiroshima, 1945
The city looks small from way up here
I wonder who'll survive
[Chorus]
Atom bomb, TNT
New disease, poor city
A blinding flash hotter than the sun
Dead bodies lie across the path
The radiation colors the air
Finishing one by one
