Voodoo Glow Skulls : Steady As She Goes
Lyrics
1. Voodoo Anthem
Wake up everybody, it only happens once a year
Jerry's getting naked and there's mayhem in the air!
Bring your favorite homies, and your lil' sister too
The local club's got voodoo and we all know what to do!
Ren-dez-voodoo! (who do voo doo we doo, fuck you!!)
I remember way back, back in 1989
I used to see you play at the Hong Kong, in the back!
Now that i'm much older, my nephew likes you too
I brought him to the concert just to get your autograph
Everybody's going loco, acting like a clown
Trying to contain themselves and not act like a fool
We don't bring no haircuts, no suits or attitude
Just our cheeky money and our firme tunes
Ren-dez-voodoo! (who do voo doo we doo, fuck you!!) [x2]
Representers in the front, all the dissers in the back
They came to see the opener cuz we're too old and fat
Mommies and daddies are waiting in the car
It's another late night and we're playing after hours
Older chicks don't like us because we play too fast
The younger ones admire us cuz we remind them of their dads
Alchoholics at the bars are feeling lonesome too
They were all backstage and drank up all our brew!
2. Steady As She Goes
We're the ones that had to sail the course
The course of friendship and trust, of course
Always heading for the eye of the storm
Getting stuck in one way, shape or form
Like an army we followed your lead
We cried with you and we watched you bleed
Loyalty at its ultimate
We paid our dues and this is what we get?
There was a time when we were family
We looked after you, and you looked after we
We flew your flag and defended it
But like a blind man you just ignored it
Through heavy rain
Through all the pain
Through heavy winds
Through all our sins
We hold her steady!
We hold her steady!
We hold her steady!
STEADY AS SHE GOES
We've stood our time, and only time will tell
For awhile you had us under a spell
Now it's broken, and you can go to hell
We're tired of you pissing in our wishing well
Friendship comes and friendship goes
Where it stops nobody knows
3. Nada En La Cabeza
Tenemos que provar que no somos pendejos
Tenemos que tratar de limpiar el espejo
Porque todos creen que la raza no tiene una chanza
Nada en la cabeza [x3]
tu, Nada en la cabeza, tu tienes
Nada en la cabeza [x3]
si, Nada en la cabeza
Le gente ignorante nos da mala impresion
Hay que educarlos para tener lo mejor
Sino siempre van a dar la lucha
a destruirnos completamente
Hay que ensenarles a los niños a tratar
A ser buenas personas con dos piernas pa' parar
Tambien tenemos un lugar
en los pinche estados unidos
Tenemos que parar, no nos van a maltratar [x7]
Tenemos que parar... nos dicen!
Nada en la cabeza [x3]
si, Nada en la cabeza, ?
Nada en la cabeza [x3]
si, Nada en la cabeza, tu tienes
Nada en la cabeza [x3]
si, Nada en la cabeza
Nada en la cabeza [x4]
Tenemos que parar, no nos van a maltratar [x4]
Hay que ensenarles a los niños a tratar
A ser buenas personas con dos piernas pa' parar
Tambien tenemos un lugar
en los pinche estados unidos
Le gente ignorante nos da mala impresion
Hay que educarlos para tener lo mejor
Sino siempre van a dar la lucha
a destruirnos completamente
Tenemos que parar, no nos van a maltratar [x7]
Tenemos que parar... "Muchacho cabezón!"
4. High Society
This used to be the place where you used to want to be.
Raise some kids and start a family.
Prominent figures in your community.
Have tried to create a High Society.
The grass doesn't grow here anymore!
The white picket fence is now made of bricks
The Place that we've known has now turned to shit
The grass doesn't grow here anymore!
I don't want to live in a High Society
Put bars on your windows to keep away the thieves
Stay inside and keep your sanity
Stand your ground and follow your beliefs
You can't turn the ghetto into a High Society
5. One For the Road
Crown my desire fulfill my bliss
A pretty young girl and a jug of this
All of my sorrows are past and fled.
Until I'm in my grave and dead.
Those pretty young girls come out in flocks
With short-legged drawers and long frailed locks
And all of the girls will spend out way
We'll not see more until another day
There she blows
One for the road!
Leave my mark in a place like thos
I keep my distance at a sailor's pitch
Many thousand miles are behind me
A place to call home is the open sea
There be no place like home
What's left behind
is what i carry with me
Castaway in insanity
Seal my fate as i take the piss
Destined to roam
No place to miss
There be no place like home.
More miles to go
one for the road
steady as she goes
one for the road
6. Interstate Disease
My gums bleed for the victims of the bad taste generation
Everyone seems so concerned without motivation
Raise your fist with broken glass and change the t.v. station
I think we've all been hypnotized, processed and desensitized
Don't pray for me because you need a miracle
Rotting from this badland, the Interstate Disease
Telling me...Don't tell me I don't want to know
Showing me...Bad things I don't want to see
Carrying guns, shooting dope, watching MTV
Little girls are singing
what we've been taught for years
The Interstate Disease
Spread across the land
We can't help each other unless we understand
We've made our ignorance acceptable
Apathetic and fashionable
Sit right back and watch it turn
Teach the lids and make them learn
If you promise to be good
I'll give you nothing in return
7. Ethnic Cleansing Day
I guess there's no hope for us today
If they succeed
Ethnic cleansing day
Who's going to do all the shit you don't like
There's no glamour in the fields
No hope for the streets
Go back to where you came from
Question your nationality
Pay dues to the government
Come to find they can't stand me
So pack your bags
And let's hope and pray
The devil is ruthless
Ethnic cleansing day
I guess there's no hope for us today
If they succeed
Ethnic cleansing day
Will it come a time
They'll take a hose
And come knocking door to door
Checking for culture and ethnicity
Cleansing L.A. for sure
I guess there's no hope for us today
If they succeed
Ethnic cleansing day
So pack your bags
And let's hope and pray
The devil is ruthless
Ethnic cleansing day
8. La Llorona
ninos en la calle
no quieren regresar
cuando el dia se acaba
el diablo va bailar
siglos de la noche
te quieren despertar
y unas cosas de la muerte
que no puedes contemplar
(donde estan mis hijos)
los quiere encontrar
(donde estan mis hijos)
la llorona va llorar
siempre estan jugando
con cosas peligrosas
el miedo esta bajando
de partes que no conoces
cuano te dicen
que no trabieces
y que hagas tu trabajo
y no tengas mala cara
porque viene lo malo
la llorona
(donde estan mis hijos)
se ve como yo abuela
pero no tiene regalos
tiene la mano negra
y los ojos desgastados
9. The Rat Traps
Welcome to the rat traps
and to my neighborhood
everybody's struggling
and misunderstood
the dope man and the hookers
and the poor Hispanic family
have all been praying
dying in this reality
this is how we live
this is where we live
My friend he used to live there
until the age of seventeen
Raised with love and honor
single parent family
Painting a pretty picture
of the neighborhood
broken kids existance
is what i understood
this is how we live
this is where we live
this is how i live
this is where i live
rat traps!
10. Tell The People
Born into money, ignorance and greed
Elected to speak for the vast majority
Pulling politricks on behalf of america
that's the nature of the politicians greed
Turn the channel on the masses
Create a war and a little hysteria
Over weapons of mass destruction
power driven by television and media
tell the people what they wanna hear
keep them quiet for another year
someone's spending our dollars and cents
tribulations of a generation spent
cover it all up with a little bit of scandal
start a trial and impeach the president
there's no balance or conformity
laws are broken by autorities
They blame poverty stricken minorities
the prices you pay in the land of the free
Everyone's laughing on the other side
As we crumble with our american pride
Youth of today don't care about education
in danger is the state of the nation
11. New Jerk Swing
How many times do they play that song
broken record on and on
cant they find a new song to sing?
ass some style to that thing
some people try to hit eachother
others try to love another
cant figure out what they should be
me, i try and be just me
cant stand the way its done
go away! be someone
i keep hearing its all wrong
that same thing on and on
got no substance to your style
go back home and practice awhile
why do you be gagging me?
ive found my own place i should be
The worlds full of wish i could be's
bring it raw, that be me
passing fad so versatile
my own place stay awhile
we cant dance and we cant sing
so we call it NEW JERK SWING
everyones got their own damn thing
this is it, NEW JERK SWING
got no substance and too much style
do for your own so versatile
me, im bleeding fo originality
sometimes this is too easy
Load that weapon keep blowin' minds
you and i, we aint the kind
Somebody talking likes it's a sure thing
keep the fight for the brass ring
its all the same song
and its all wrong
May we suggest a new recipe
Something cool, no wanna-bes
Do the homework, find the page
And don't criticize one who stays
Got the good thing, one that pays
Leave it alone please stay away
Create your own fight for the day
Too much plastic in the way.

13. Little Red Riding Hood [Originally by Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs]
Who's that I see walking in these woods?
Why it's Little Red Riding Hood.
Hey there Little Red Riding Hood.
You sure are lookin' good,
You're everything a big bad wolf could want.
Listen to me!
Little Red Riding Hood,
I don't think little big girls should.
Go walking' in these spooky old woods alone.
What big eyes you have,
The kind of eyes that drive wolves mad.
So just to see that you don't get chased,
I think I ought to walk with you for a way.
What full lips you have.
They're sure to lure someone bad.
So until you get to Gramma's place,
I think you ought to walk with me and be safe.
I'm gonna keep my sheep suit on,
'Til I'm sure you've been shown,
That I cam be trusted walkin' with you alone. (Howl!)
Little Red Riding Hood,
I'd like to hold you if I could.
But you might think I'm a big bad wolf, so I won't.
What a big heart I have,
The Better to love you with.
Little Red Riding Hood,
Even big bad wolves can be good.
I'll try to keep satisfied,
Just to walk by you're side.
Maybe you'll see things my way,
Before we get to Gramma's place.
Hey there Little Red Riding Hood.
You sure are lookin' good,
You're everything a big bad wolf could want.
Little Red Riding Hood.
You sure are lookin' good,
You're everything a big bad wolf could want.
Little Red Riding Hood.
You sure are lookin' good,
You're everything a big bad wolf could want.
