Born Addicted :
A woman sits inside a room
enclosing her lungs with deadly fumes
her boyfriend left a long time ago
I guess he didn't know...
She'd skip lamaze class every night
stays at home with her mouth to the pipe
a basehead in full maternity
when my baby is born "It'll look just like me"

NO RESPONSIBILITY THE BABY IS BORN ADDICTED
DRUGGED AUTOMATICALLY THE INFANTILE LIFE IS INFLICTED
EXTROVERSION HAS TAKEN HER CONTROL
IT'S GIVEN NAME WAS JACK, BUT IT MIGHT AS WELL BE CRACK
BORN DEAF, DUMB AND BLIND, WHAT SHE LEFT BEHIND
IS ONLY LEFT TO DIE....WHY!

If you take a life don't take one with you
Don't pass your disease to someone else
We don't have a cure to make it all better
It's in your womb and connects to your mouth
The front door of hell...



Thorn In My Side :
Remember these words
''I'll never let you down'' ''You are my friend and you can talk to me''
so why am I? (so why am I?)
still standing all alone
that's not the way that it's supposed to be

Chorus:
Thorn in my side
talk about me, kiss my ass
thorn in my side
I felt it jabbing the first time that you lied
deep inside

You gave me silence,
I tried to talk to you
I got denied and tried to think it through
you had no reason, I saw no warning sign
you think I'll stick around, you must be on glue

Chorus

So now I'm thinking, you'll turn your back on me
the second you find a better place to be
it's in our nature to hurt each other
I'll never find my place in this world of greed


Looney Toon :
I lived to grow up in the seventies
the harmlessness of cartoons that I watched on T.V.
Now it's gotten violent, mentality close to none
This is what happens when a child buys a gun

WHAT WOULD DADDY SAY IF I BLEW MOM AWAY?
THE CURIOSITY GUNNED HER TO THE FLOOR
I GUESS THE T.V. LIED, THE HERO (RABBIT) NEVER DIES
NOW LOOK AT HER SHE'S NOT BREATHING ANYMORE
(how do you feel?)
I NEVER THOUGHT LIFE WAS REAL

Now i sit in a room with no cartoons
they put me away, been labeled insane


Tollbridge:
Well it's been a long time
Since I learned about the bridge
I try sneaking by
But it's my feelings that I pay with

(Chorus)
Tired of giving, tired of caring
On the tollbridge, I'm forced to pay my way
Some may try to slide right by
Thinking life's just a free ride
I wanted everything for free
But I know it will never be

Have no money to pay with
And it seems that the bridge is closed
Humble feelings, eating crow
Better try another road

(Chorus)
Tired of giving, tired of caring
On the tollbridge, I'm forced to pay my way
Some may try to slide right by
Thinking life's just a free ride
I wanted everything for free
But I know it will never be

You have got to show control
There's so much you've got to know
As I cross the bridge I watch my step
Better get out of here
Gotta pay my dues, wanna earn respect
Next time I hope that they don't refuse

(Chorus)
Tired of giving, tired of caring
On the tollbridge, I'm forced to pay my way
Some may try to slide right by
Thinking life's just a free ride
I wanted everything for free
But I know it will never be

Hole :
There's an oddity running down the stream
everybody's buying those C.F.C's
as the story unwinds it just gets sadder
cause every store is selling that extraneous matter
we have no tools to fix the hole in the sky
told by the fools that you're the reason why
paper or plastic, diesel or unleaded
It doesn't stop humanity from where it is headed

THEY ALWAYS LIE ABOUT IT, BUT WE ALWAYS SEEM TO FIND IT
IN THE AIR (just tell me why)
WE ALWAYS TRY TO FIGHT IT, WHEN MENDACIOUSLY THEY HIDE IT
EVERYWHERE (hole in the sky)
THEY ALWAYS LIE ABOUT IT, BUT WE ALWAYS SEEM TO FIND IT
IN THE AIR(just tell me why)
AND WHEN YOU TRY TO FIGHT IT, JUST REMEMBER WHO DECIDES IT
IF YOU CARE (hole in the sky)



Another Step :
The iron curtain has been lifted just today
after war is finally over, a faction finds its way
the KGB is evil, tanks are running over people
can't you see?
This country's on a ship
navigating to a failing destiny...

THEY'RE NOT AFRAID TO, AND WON'T HESITATE TO
TAKE IT UP ANOTHER STEP, TAKE IT UP ANOTHER STEP
THOUGHT OLD IDEALS WERE GONE BUT WE WERE WRONG
NOW WE SEE IT HASN'T LEFT, NOW WE SEE IT HASN'T LEFT
ANOTHER STEP!!!


Don't Miss The Train:
So many different things you can do with your life
So many different things if you have the time
Give a little more, give it your best shot
on the right track you can't be stopped
All the things I said that I would do
All the brilliant ideas that slipped right through
Sometimes we got to get on and climb aboard
but I was one day late and a dollar short

DON'T MISS THE TRAIN, DON'T MISS THE TRAIN
DON'T MISS THE TRAIN, DON'T MISS THE TRAIN
DON'T MISS THE TRAIN, DON'T MISS THE TRAIN
DON'T MISS THE TRAIN, DON'T MISS THE TRAIN
IT COULD BE THE ONLY CHANCE WE HAVE

Have you ever sat and thought about other things?
Living on the street, hanging by a string
Letting people take away your name
Letting people push you into your grave
What you gotta do is stand up for what is yours
Breaking all the barricades, smash the doors
If the chance comes around to save your life
Remember, opportunity doesn't always knock twice
The decision is entirely up to you
So don't watch the train just pass right through
There is another time that you will meet in life
But the second visit won't be nice
So now you're walking in your sorrow on lonely tracks
Hoping for the day the train will come back
Light on in the tunnel just up ahead
The train is back but now you're dead...TOO LATE



Watching :
There is a man I know
Who lives across the street
Every time I sit down at the table
He surveys what I eat
He's watching out for crime
To happen any time
He's always minding someone's business
And the business is usually mine
He's making sure that I don't have fun
Because he lives alone
He's watching in the darkness
of his home...
WATCHING YOU, WATCHING ME
Six remote controls
So he can sit back on his ass
and watch the world from his perch
by the window, on the other side of the glass
He says he's looking out for me
but why can't he just see?
Just because he has nobody
He has to bother me...Watching me!!!


Punk Points:

You were living your life like an angel
Did everything that your life said
Now you changed your life intentions
Ran away from home and shaved your head
You were tired of living your life
Restricted under your parents wings
The weight of the world is on your shoulders
You're not running from anything...
NOW YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN
FAR AWAY FROM HOME
You go out at night and thrash
To make points on the punk point graph
Trying to prove a point to your family
Living in a car with a gold spoon in your mouth
You get sick, the dirt is thick
You return to home
where the showers are always free...
The house is warm, now stay inside


Tan In A Can :
I saw her just the other day
But she wouldn't look my way
I think she looks tanner that ever
Impossible for mid-November
Tan in a can
Tan in a can
Lying there in that aluminum tube
Orange skin, pigmented lotion tube
The friends you make, the ones I hate
Your body is baked, your tan is fake
Now you told your friends at school
Said that you laid by the pool
Looking wrinkled, looking old
Maximum U.V. overload
Tan in a can
Tan in a can
Tan in a can
Tan in a can


Death Doesn't Care :
So many people try to do things for themselves
So many heroes should be taken off the shelf
Go see a movie, so far from our reality
Cue up the line to see people hurt and bleed

WE DON'T FLY THE ONLY FLAG ON THE EARTH
AND AS OUR BROTHERS DIE THEY INHERIT THE DIRT
A WHILE BACK THEY WERE CHANTING "KILL SADAM"
BUT DEATH DOESN'T CARE WHAT SIDE YOU'RE ON
WHAT SIDE YOU'RE ON...

Your oldest brother never came back from the war
You had some brothers that you never knew before
So many died, so many T.V.'s lied
the tears they cried, was it really worth your pride?
Here comes the war choose your weapon, choose a side
A million children that we can horrify
We spend our money on ammo, tanks and guns
No cash for education, try to blame it all on drugs
A drunken man has to get his Thursday fill
A brainwashed soldier has to get his daily kill
Die how you want cause either way you lose
And death doesn't care so it's up to you to choose


Get Out Of This Town :
Picked up a flyer just the other day
My favorite band was coming here to play
Last time they were here no one broke the silence
I hope this time it doesn't turn into a soundtrack for violence
Hanging out in the parking lot and everybody's here
There's the straight edge guys and they're pounding beer
Skaters poppin' ollies and skinheads talkin' shop
But here come the nazis at the end of the block
GET OUT OF THIS TOWN!!!
It's packed in this sweatbox as the band begins to blare
A swarming mass of tattoos, muscles, baldness, and hair
But now there's a target it's a fascist attack
Twenty on one, they know he won't fight back
GET OUT OF THIS TOWN!!!
Got to get out, gotta get out
gotta get out of this town
There's more of us than them but we still don't intervene
The hatred of only a few wrecks everybody's scene
We can overcome their racist shit if everyone's involved
The power of many can crush their few and the problem will be solved
GET OUT OF THIS TOWN!!!
