When I got no food or I got no shelter
It's a house where I can get away for maybe three days
To get off the drunk and haze off the haze
Who's the opposition
I'm 7 years down
The human s
Come into the
union district
Drive down on Sharmon Palms
White Ghettos paint a picture
Broken homes and broken bones
I was so full of scotch I could not stand up
I was hittin' the shots and moved to a cup
Release me from moral assumption
Total rejection, total destruction
Nihilistic feelings are movin'
If you try really hard you'll see right through them
Nihilism
Walking a path of self destruction
Not affected by the repercussions
Lady on the billboard offer me a drink
Said right not right now, I need to think
Time to think
Nihilistic feelings are movin'
If I try really hard I'll see right through them
Never feel in
love until I feel in love with you
Never knew what a good time was, til I had a good time with you
If you wanna get the feelings & you wanna get it right
Then the music gotta be loud
For when the music hits I feel no pain at all
Warm summer night I was drinking with my dad
He tried to give me love that I never had
But he gave more love to his bottle of wine
So I had to go out and find love of another kind
Here it is
Here I am
Turn it up fuckin' loud
Radio Radio
When I got the music I gotta a place to go
Radio Clash, Magnificent 7
I was a choir boy you showed me no heaven
Two tools surely lost
No remorse ignoring the cost
Side Kick [top | prev. | next]
I had a dream I
was a vigilante's side kick
My name is Tim, I'm a lesser known character
I had a dream I was a vigilante's side kick
Fighting crime in the streets together
Down in Oakland off of West Grand
St. Joseph relief program
A good place where good people get food
Help your fellow man a good thing to do
Government agency said be afraid of me
I shut your doors down it won't phase me
Wolverine came through left the agent for dead
Opened up the doors back up everyone was fed
Do not bill the abandoned buildings
It's nice to sleep when you got a ceiling
Neighborhood watch said we gotta put a stop
Can't have people livin' for free
Call the cops here we come
The SWAT team & the M-16
Shoot the walls in destroy the buildings
Wolverine was sad & it made him mad
Every single cop got a bullet in his head
Salvation [top | prev. | next]
Come on baby
won't you show me what you got
I want your Salvation
Come on baby won't you show me what you got
I want your Salvation
There's a neighborhood called Blackhawk
Where all the people hide
I was lying down on my luck looking for the Salvation Army
The shelter is where I reside
Everyday we drive into Blackhawk & we pick up the offerings
Microwave ovens, refrigerators for the suffering
Come on baby won't you show me what you got
I want your Salvation
Come on baby won't you show me what you got
I want your Salvation
I can't believe these people live like kings
Hidden estates & diamond rings
I'm a rat out on a mission
I'm in your front yard under suspicion
Come on baby won't you show me what you got
I want your Salvation
Come on baby won't you show me what you got
I want your Salvation
Come on baby won't you show me what you got
I want your Salvation
I can't believe these people live like kings
Hidden estates & diamond rings
I'm a rat out on a mission
I'm in your front yard under suspicion
I can't believe these people live like kings
Hidden estates & diamond rings
Come on baby won't you show me what you got
I want your Salvation
Come on baby won't you show me what you got
I want your Salvation
Come on baby won't you show me what you got
I want your Salvation
Tenderloin [top | prev. | next]
Realize you're
dehumanized
You criticize your existence
It's your demise when no sun arise
When you are paralyzed by your own lack of resistance
She knows she is
She knows she's goin'
Down below where the fire's glowing
Tenderloin
The tricks she gets them
She's not a victim
She makes a list of them and reads them alone
For money she's walking down on Larkin
In T.I they're rockin' all night long
War between
races
War between lies
War between something that was deep inside
You were wrong all along
I was right you lied
U to the N to the ITY
Straight down
Too late
Can it kick the feelin'
Lookin' from the bottom
I can't see the ceiling
Shots rang out in the Oakland winter
Can't stand alone
You can't stand together
As One
As One
As One
No matter what they do
They'll try to divide you
Fear you up
What's inside you
Way down down down
The scale hook of the anchor
To the gates of hell
Once you realize that it was so simple
What you're given you can't take with you
I asked somebody if they had the same vision
He said yeah I had the same vision
As One
As One
As One
Red and white
stripes flyin'
White for Skin
Red for dying
Why can't I walk on through
And not feel like one is in hell
Why can't I walk on through
and not feel like one is in hell
We don't need no water
Let the motherfucker burn
The Ballad of Jimmy & Johnny [top | prev. | next]
Jimmy &
Johnny are two friends of mine
Skinheads what they claim
Outside similarities but they don't feel the same
Johnny thinks Jimmy's a Mod
Jimmy thinks Johnny's a Punk
Jimmy listens to Ska
Johnny likes Last Resort
Jimmy & Johnny in the trenches
Down tonight
Drinkin' Guinness
Smokin' 555's
Once you're in the middle you feel alright
Skinhead tats & a Fred Perry
There's a war in the cemetery
Start to fight
Stop drinkin'
What the fuck were they thinkin'
Jimmy & Johnny tell me what you're seeing
Jimmy & Johnny tell me what you're seeing
Jimmy had his two tone girl on the back of his scooter that night
Johnny had a jacked up Chevy that could blow you right off the
line
Skinhead tats & a Fred Perry
There's a war in the cemetery
Start the fight
Stop the drinking
What the fuck were they thinking
Jimmy & Johnny tell me what you're seeing
Jimmy & Johnny tell me what you're seeing
I Am the One [top | prev. | next]
I am the One
Are you gonna be ready to use it
If you hesitate they'll pursue it
Put the gun to your dome no question
Now the holy ghost is on question
What about the banks
When they say go
Standin' at the top & can't let go
Standin' can't take that time
When I try sometime I can't stay high
I'm the one
Are you gonna be ready to use it
If you hesitate they'll persue it
Good & evil came from above
Death peace eternal love
Bleedin' gates & I can't come in
Courage that abates a life of sin
Sure that it holds no other
With the lies of the brave the kid don't matter
I'm the one
Gave it Away [top | prev. | next]
Ghetto Box [top | prev. | next]
Harry Bridges [top | prev. | next]
Bloody Thursday
was July 6th
The pigs killed three workers
Harry Bridges grabbed the mic
The city shut down on July 6th
The workers were outraged
It was a general strike
The media claimed that the commies
Were taking over and some believed it was true
Three uncompromising strikes paved the way
Minnesota, San Francisco, Toledo
Over and over again
The doors are locked and the windows are broken
Eddie worked for General Motors
He swore he'd never lose his job again
A union man who owned his own home
In beautiful Flint, Michigan
Eddie lost his job and Eddie lost his home
So Eddie lost his self esteem
Last time I saw Eddie
He was living in a trailor park again
Over and over again
The doors are locked and the windows are broken
I believe that Eddie forgave too much too soon
I got a letter about Eddie
It was bad news
Over and over again
The doors are locked and the windows are broken
Black & Blue [top | prev. | next]
I started
watchin' them all down the line
Keep steppin' & rejectin' all of the time
They try to pull me in'
Can't let that happen again
They try to do it again all on me
Sedation throughout the nation
We're screamin' black & blue
Intoxication of a generation
We're screamin' black & blue
The blind leading the blind
They told me I was dumb
They said their security system was to big to outrun
But I broke away & I'm never goin' back
For all the souls they broke
Mine never cracked
She's got her
ticket & she's waitin' at the station
She's got to get away as far as she can
Her problems will arise as sure as the sun does shine
She's got to get used to living on the lam
Now Mary's out the door with a loaded .44 in her hand
Shootin' down the law that shot down her dear departed man
When I last saw her she was lookin' troubled
She said this is the 90's I'm gonna be alright
She took the Greyhound into Salinas
I got a letter then she dropped out of sight
Now Mary's out the door with a loaded .44 in her hand
Shootin' down the law that shot down her dear departed man
Shrouded in anger
Encompassed by pain
He was your best friend & you'll never see him again
Now Mary's out the door with a loaded .44 in her hand
Shootin' down the law that shot down her dear departed man
Dope Sick Girl [top | prev. | next]
Dope sick girl
Hit & run
She took my money
87 dollars gone
Now she's running
How was I - I to know
That a girl could take my heart everywhere she go
Dope sick girl
A rig & a ride
She's got no freedom
Little demon gonna hide inside
She's gotta feed 'em
How was I - I to know
That a girl could take my heart everywhere she go
Everywhere, everywhere she go
Dope sick girl
There she was at the methadone clinic
Drunk a cup
She called it a base coat
Swore not to get back in it
How was I - I to know
That girl could take my heart everywhere she go
Dope sick girl
Gotta rig & a ride to New York city
Gonna run away
Gonna watch it burn in the heart of New York City
How was I - I to know
That girl could take my heart everywhere she go
International Cover-up [top | prev. | next]
What about the
state of the union
What about the games they're using
What about the kids that don't matter
What about a general strike
You don't know what it's like
What it's like
What it's like
Back down to no back down comin' up
Rise up no rise up showin' up
Lock down no lock down comin' up
International cover-up
What about the cage getting rattled
What about the international battle
What about the kids who are dreamin'
What about the kid who got stopped
You don't know what it's like

Solidarity [top | prev. | next]
Solidarity, love

Set me free with a bullet and a gun
You said it was nothing
I knew it was something
It was no surprisin'
I saw you cryin'
About you
Said what went wrong
About you
Said you can't go on
About you
Said it's a long time gone
About you
Said your life's too long
Solidarity, love and unity
Set me free with a bullet and a gun
Solidarity, love and unity
Set me free with a bullet and a gun
Didn't see it coming
Your fears went hunting
9 Millimeter
Stops you running
About you
Said the pressures on
About you
Said you can't go on
About you
Now you're long time gone
About you
So went wrong
Solidarity, love and unity
Set me free with a bullet and a gun
Solidarity love & unity
Set me free with a bullet and a gun
Midnight

Motorcycle Ride [top | prev. | next]
If you wanna
make a move then you better come in
It's just the ability to reason that wears so thin
Living and dying and the stories that are true
The secret to a good life is knowing when your through...
...Before she died
I bit the bullet on a motorcycle ride
...If you wanna make a move then you better come in
It's just the ability to reason that wears so thin
If you wanna make a move then you better come in
It's just the ability to reason that wears so thin
...Before she died
I bit the bullet on a motorcycle ride
You don't know
my name
You don't know my name
Paint a number on my head
Work me 'til I'm dead
I can believe I've wasted all of these years I've tasted
A million days & nights
All this pain and struggle all for what
I ask all the hate & trouble
Punch drunk from the clock opportunity
Never gonna knock
No more blue collar
All the union's getting smaller
One million nights & all the pain & struggle
All for what I ask
All the hate & trouble
