Down




Chill light on my sight as my ego becomes
A funky child with some words on my tongue
Be like intake of breath and my mouth gets loose
While i scatter my spit i dream of juice


Have you ever made out in dark hallways
Displayed a kiss that made your day or say
Played a track from your record collection
It's your mix congratulations


We've changed alot and then some-some
You know that we have always been down-down
And if i ever didn't thank you-you 
Then just let me do it now


I bet you light up when we start the show
Follow me now very closely cause i told you so
You know we glow because we throw sunrays
We be freaky and we wanna stay


We've changed alot and then some-some
You know that we have always been down-down
And if i ever didn't thank you-you 
Then just let me do it now


Lightning strikes yo we be in that violent force of light
Guaranteed to turn it out as bad as dolemite
Cuz we're dope kid change like a chameleon and the
Channel whenever that wack show real world is on


You know we dazzle like ghetto box boomin battles
Rattle inside your head feel redeemed like cola bottles
Fall in love with your teachers on the wax
We are self made check the technique,311 in LA


We've changed alot and then some-some
You know that we have always been down-down
And if i ever didn't thank you-you 
Then just let me do it now


Keep my feet on the ground
Keep my head in the clouds
Electrified by the sound
Comes from the down-and


We've changed alot and then some-some
You know that we have always been down-down
And if i ever didn't thank you-you 
Then just let me do it now






All Mixed Up




You've got to trust your instinct
and let go of regret
You've got to bet on yourself now star
because thats your best bet


Watch me now with a wicked and wild and i said
we come with the funky style
that gets us known for the show
and we'll mix the hip hop reggae if we say it is so
and fuck the naysayers because they don't mean a thing
because this is what style we bring


now it's morning but last night's on my mind
there's something i need to get off my chest
and no matter what may come to shine
the dream will always be mine


all mixed up you don't know what to do
next thing you turn around and find the person is you
thought a freak might be the thing
but the first could be the last 
so just get off of your ass


all mixed up you don't know what to do
next ting you turn around and find the person is you
thought a freak might be the thing
but the first could be the last 
so just get off of your ass


You've got to trust your instinct
and let go of regret
You've got to bet on yourself now star
because thats your best bet


watch me now with a wicked and wild
sick sick but got to have it
like bustin' in on a session but you got to call it quits
sick sick but just can't quit
fact that you don't even know makes you fully legit


now it's morning but last night's on my mind
there's something i need to get off my chest
and no matter what may come to shine
the dream will always be mine


you keep me coming 
that is a gal that'l kill 'dem stunning
keep me coming 
that is a gal that'l kill 'dem stunning


keep me coming 
that is a gal that'l kill 'dem stunning
keep me coming 
that is a gal that'l kill 'dem stunning


you make me nervous throat dry
my brain is emty don't know why
but i saw you doing something
which is really truly nothing
but you could bust me out all day


many moons since first i saw you
many moons since first we did the do
many moons since first i saw you
many moons since first we did the do


any why did i try when i knew it was no and
why did i try when i saw it was so
but save it for late when we should just let it skate
because the waiting feel is fine





Transistor




If you want more beats for your buck there's no luck
(x4)


Then there's no luck
Then again if you came for drama then I cant understand
Music critics music critics
Not afraid of a guy who'll tell you 
He's never been in a mix
Been in a mix been in a mix
We're in the grass roots so big up to your friends


Every crew, every click, & every posse
Big up to all the heads not of hypocracy


You're a transistor
Lightning resistor
Conducting to the mother star
That's what you are


Renegade sound system 311 (x4)
311 (x2)
Brother from another planet & here once again
Automatic (x2)
Quantim saints of the universe in a holographic
Cosmic remix (x2)
From the mysterios blue planet 
We can breathe anywhere
Underwater, out in space & in LA
Polluted air's no problem for these homeys


You're a transistor
Lightning resistor
Conducting to the mother star
Thats what you are

                                      





Beautiful Disaster




Today seems like a good day
To burn a bridge or two
The one w/ old wood creaking
That would burn away right on cue
I try to be not like that, but some people really suck
Some people need to get the axing
Chalk it up to bad luck


I know a drugstore cowgirl
So afraid of getting bored
She's always runnin from something
So many things ignored
I might do that stuff if
It didnt make me feel like shit
I'm on some old reality tip
So many trips in it


Beautiful disater
Flyin down the street again
I tried to keep up (keep up)
Wore me out & left me ate up
Now I wish you all the luck
Youra a butterfly in the wind w/ out a care
A pretty train crash to me & I cant care
I do, I dont whatever


I know a drugstore cowgirl
So afraid of getting bored
She's always runnin from something
So many things ignored
I try to be not like this
But I thought it'd make a good song
There's nothing to see, show's over
People just move along


Beautiful disaster
Flyin down the street again
I tried to keep up (keep up)
Wore me out & left me ate up
Now I wish you all the luck
Youre a butterfly in the wind w/out a care
Pretty train crash to me & I cant care
I do, I dont , whatever

Glycerine 



it must be your skin i'm sinking in 
it must be for real cause now i can feel 
and i didn't mind 
it's not my kind 
it's not my time to wonder why 


everything's gone white 
and everything's grey 
now your here, now your away 
i don't want this 
remember that 
i'll never forget where your at 


don't let the days go by 
glycerine 
glycerine 


i'm never alone 
i'm alone all the time 
are you at one 
or do you lie 
we live in a wheel 
where evereyone steals 
but when we rise it's like strawberry fields 


if i treated you bad 
you bruised my face 
couldn't love you more 
you got a beautiful taste 


don't let the days go by 
could have been easier on you 
i couldn't change though i wanted to 
could have been easier by three 
our old friend fear and you and me 


glycerine glycerine 


don't let the days go by 
glycerine 
don't let the days go by 
glycerine glycerine 
oh glycerine 
glycerine 


bad moon white again 
bad moon white again 
and she falls around me 
i needed you more 


when we wanted us less 
i could not kiss just regress 
it might just be 
clear simple and plain 
well that's just fine 
that's just one of my names 


don't let the days go by 
could have been easier on you 
glycerine (x5)
 


Little Things



I bleach the sky
every night
Loaded on wrong
and further from right
Spinning around
two howling moons
cos there always there
whatever i do


The river is loaded
i've been there today
took it some questions
she does me again
i'd die in your arms
if you were dead too
here comes a lie
we will always be true


going up 
when coming down
scratch away
it's the little things that kill
tearing at my brains again
the little things that kill
the little things that kill


bigger you give
bigger you get
we're boss at denial
but best at forget
cupboard is empty
we really need food
summer is winter
and you always knew


going up 
when coming down
scratch away
it's the little things that kill
tearing at my brains again
the little things that kill
the little things that kill


i touch your mouth
my willy is food
addicted to love
i'm addicted to fools
i kill you once
i kill you again
we're starving and crude
welcome my friends to


the little things that kill
tearing at my brains again
the little things that kill
tearing at my brains again
it's the little 


here come the little things
here come the little


little things that kill you...






Machinehead




Breathe in Breathe out
Breathe in Breathe out
breathe in(x2)


tied to a wheel fingers got to feel
i spin on a whim i slide to the right
i felt you like electric light
for our love
for our fear
for our rise against the years and years and years


got a machinehead better than the rest
green to red
machinehead
got a machinehead better than the rest 
green to red machine head


and i walk from my machine
i walk from my machine


deaf dumb and thirsty
starting to deserve this
leaning on my conscience wall
blood is like wine
unconscious all the time
if i had it all again
i'd change it all


got a machinehead better than the rest
green to red
machinehead
got a machinehead better than the rest 
green to red 


and i walk from my machine
i walk from my machine


breathe in breathe out(x2)
breathe in
breathe in
breathe in


got a machinehead better than the rest
green to red
machinehead
got a machinehead better than the rest 
green to red 


Better than the rest(x2)
Machinehead


and i walk from my machine
i walk from my machine



What's This Life For




Hurray for a child
That makes it through
If there's any way
Because the answer lies in you


They're laid to rest
Before they know just what to do
Their souls are lost
Because they 
could never find


What's this life for


I see your soul, it's kind of gray
I see your heart, you look away
You see my wrist, I know your pain
I know your purpose on your plane


Don't say a last prayer
Because you could never find


What's this life for


But they ain't here anymore
Don't have to settle the score
Cause we all live
Under the reign of one king





My Own Prison




A court is in session, a verdict is in
no appeal on the docket today
just my own sin
the walls are cold and pale
the cage made of steal
screams fill the room 
alone i drop and kneel


Silence now the sound
my breath the only motion around
Demonds cluttering around 
my face showing no emotion
Shackeled by my sentence
expeting no return
Here there is no penence
my skin begins to burn


So I held my head up high
hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride
We're all held captive out from the sun
a sun that shines on only some
We the meek are all in one


I hear a thunder in the distance
see a vision of a cross
I feel the pain that was given
and that sad day of loss
A lion roars in the darkness 
only he holds the key
A light to free me from my burden
and grant me life eternally


Should have been dead 
on a sunday morning
banging my head
No time for mourning 
ain't got no time


Should have been dead 
on a sunday morning
banging my head
No time for mourning 
ain't got no time


So I held my head up high
hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride
We're all held captive out from the sun
a sun that shines on only some
We the meek are all in one


I cry out to God
seeking only his decision
Gabriel stands and conferms
i've created my own prison


I cry out to God
seeking only his decision
Gabriel stands and conferms
i've created my own prison


So I held my head up high
hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride


So I held my head up high
hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride


We're all held captive out from the sun
a sun that shines on only some
We the meek are all in one


So I held my head up high
hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride
We're all held captive out from the sun
a sun that shines on only some
We the meek are all in one





Torn




Peace is what they tell me
Love am I unholy
Lies are what they tell me
Despise you that control me


The peace is dead in my soul
I have blamed the reason for
my intentions poor


Yes I'm the one who
the only one who
Would carry on this far


Torn, I'm filthy
Born in my own misery
Stole all that you gave me
Control you claim you save me


The peace is dead in my soul
I have blamed the reason for
My intentions poor


Yes I'm the one who
The only one who
Would carry on this far





One 



Affirmative may be justified
take from one give to another
The goal is to be unified
take my hand be my brother


The payments silenced the masses
sanctified by oppression
unity took a back seat
sliding further into regression


One, oh one
the only way is one
One, oh one
the only way is one


I feel angry i feel helpless
want to change the world
I feel violent i feel alone
dont try and change my mind


Society blind by color
why hold down one to raise another
Discrimination now on both sides
seed of hate blossom further


The world is heading for mutiny
when all we want is unity
We may raise and fall, but in the end
we meet our fate together


One, oh one
the only way is one
One, oh one
the only way is one


I feel angry i feel helpless
want to change the world
I feel violent i feel alone
dont try and change my mind




Save Tonight 


Go on and close the curtains
All we need is candlelight
You and me and a bottle of wine
Going to hold you tonight


We know I'm going away 
How I wish....wish it weren't so
Take this wine and drink with me
Let's delay our misery


Save tonight
And fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow
Tomorrow I'll be gone
(x2)


There's a log on the fire 
And it burns like me for you
Tomorrow comes with one desire
To take me away....It's true
It ain't easy to say goodbye 
Darling please don't start to cry
'Cause girl you know I've got to go
Lord I wish it wasn't so


Save tonight
And fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow
Tomorrow I'll be gone
(x2)


Tomorrow comes to take me away 
I wish that I....that I could stay
Girl you know I've got to go
And lord I wish it wasn't so


Save tonight
And fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow
Tomorrow I'll be gone





Inside Out


i would swallow my pride 
i would choke on the rhines
but the lack thereof would leave me empty inside
i would swallow my doubt turn it inside out find nothing but faith in nothing
want to put my tender heart in a blender 
watch it spin round to a beautiful oblivion 
rendezvous and im through with you


burn burn ike a wicker cabinet chalk white and oh so frail
i see our time has gotten stale
the tick tock of the clock is painful
all sane and logical
i want to tear it off the wall


i hear words in clips and phrases
i think sick like ginger ale
my stomach turns and i exhale


i would swallow my pride 
i would choke on the rhines
but the lack thereof would leave me empty inside
i would swallow my doubt turn it inside out find nothing but faith in nothing
want to put my tender heart in a blender 
watch it spin round to a beautiful oblivion 
rendezvous and im through with you


so cal is where my mind states but its not my state of mind
im not as ugly sad as you
or am i origami
folded up and just pretend demented as the motives in your head


i would swallow my pride 
i would choke on the rhines
but the lack thereof would leave me empty inside
i would swallow my doubt turn it inside out find nothing but faith in nothing
want to put my tender heart in a blender 
watch it spin round to a beautiful oblivion 
rendezvous and im through with you


i alone am the one you dont now you need take heed feed your ego
make me blind when your eyes close sink when you get close tie me to the bed
post


i alone am the one you dont now you need take heed feed your ego
make me blind when your eyes close sink when you get close tie me to the bed
post


i would swallow my pride 
i would choke on the rhines
but the lack thereof would leave me empty inside
i would swallow my doubt turn it inside out find nothing but faith in nothing
want to put my tender heart in a blender 
watch it spin round to a beautiful oblivion 
rendezvous and im through now im through with you


through with you
rendezvous and im through with you





Father of Mine




Father of mine
tell me where have you been
you know i just close my eyes
my whole world disapeared


Father of mine
take me back to the day
Yeah, when i was still your golden boy
back before you went away


I remember blue skys 
walking the block
I loved it when you held me hight
I loved to hear you talk


You woud take me to the movies
You would take me to the beach
take me to a place inside 
that was so hard to reach


Father of mine
tell me where did you go
you had the world inside your hand
but you did not seem to know


Father of mine
tell me what do you see
When you look back at your wasted life

and you don't see me


I was ten years old
doing all that I could
It wasn't easy for me 
to be a scared white boy in a black
neighborhood


Sometimes you would send me a
birthday card
with a five dollar bill
Yeah, i never understould you then
and i guess i never will


Daddy gave me a name
my daddy gave me a name
Then he walked away
dady gave me a name
Then he walked away
my daddy gave me a name


Father of mine
tell me where have you been
I just close my eyes
and the world dissapeared


Father of mine
tell me how do you sleep
With the children you abandond
and the wife i saw you beat


I will never be safe
i will never be sane
I will always be weird inside
i will always be lame


Now im a grown man
with a child of my own
And i swear that im not gonna let her
know
all the pain i have known 


Then he walked away
Daddy gave me a name
Then he walked away
my dady gave me a name
Then he walked away
my daddy gave me a name
Then he walked away
my daddy gave me a name


then he walked away
then he walked away
then he walked away

You put yourself in stupid places
Yes i think you know its true
Situations where its easy to look down
on you


I think you like to be the victum
I think you like to be in pain
I think you you make yourself the
victum
almost every single day


You do what you do
Hey, you say what you say
You always try to be everything to
everyone
You know all the right people

You always try to be
Everything to everyone

You say they taught you how to read
and write
yeah they taught you how to count
I say they taught you how to buy and
sell
your own body by the pound


I think you like to be the simple toy
i think you love to play the clown
I think you are blind to the fact
that the hand you hold 
is the hand that holds you down


You do what you do

I Will Buy You a New Life




Here is the money that I owe you
Yes you can pay the bills
I will give you more
When I get paid again


I hate those people who love to tell you
Money is the root of all that kills
They have never been poor
They have never had the joy of 
a welfare Christmas


(yeah) I know we will never look back
(yeah)


You say you wake up crying
Yes and you don't know why
You get up and you go lay down inside
My baby's room


I guess I'm doing okay
I moved in with the strangest guy
Do you believe he actually
Thinks that I am really alive


I will buy you a garden
Where your flowers can bloom
I will buy you a new car
Perfect shiny and new
I will buy you that big house
Way up in the west hills
I will buy you a new life
(yes I will)


I know all about that other guy
The handsome with athletic thighs
I know about all the times before
with that obsessive little rich boy


They might mak you think you're happy
Yeah maybe for a minute or two
They can't make you laugh
No they can't make you feel
The way that I do


I will buy you a garden
Where your flowers can bloom
I will buy you a new car
Perfect shiny and new
I will buy you that big house
Way up in the west hills
I will buy you a new life
I know we can never look back


Will you please let me stay the night
No one will ever know 


I will buy you a garden
Where your flowers can bloom
I will buy you a new car
Perfect shiny and new
I will buy you that big house
Way up in the west hills
I will buy you a new life
I will buy you a new life

            





Santa Monica



I am still livin' with your ghost
Lonely and dreamin' of the west coast
I don't wanna be your downtime
I don't wanna be your stupid game


With my big black boots and an old
suitcase
I do believe I'll find myself a new place
I don't wanna be the bad guy
I don't wanna do your sleepwalk dance
anymore


I just wanna see some palm trees
I will try and shake away this disease


We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out past the breakers
Watch the world die


We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out past the breakers
Watch the world die


I am still dreamin' of your face
Hungry and hollow for all the things you
took away
I don't wanna be your good time
I don't wanna be your fallback crutch
anymore


Walk right out into a brand new day
Insane and risin' in my own weird way
I don't wanna be the bad guy
I don't wanna do your sleepwalk dance
anymore


I just wanna feel some sunshine
I just wanna find some place to be
alone


We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out past the breakers
Watch the world die


We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out past the breakers
Watch the world die


We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out past the breakers
Watch the world die


We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out past the breakers
Watch the world die
Yeah, watch the world die
