And I'll keep on fighting for the things I want
So as sure as the sun will shine
Brixton

I saw - a new generation coming
Man it just don't seem right you see Every time I turn I around it's just the same story
I saw - a new generation coming
I saw - a new generation coming

Bright lights, here comes the night
See through his eyes, his eyes alone
Bright lights, here comes the night

(CHORUS)
With his brains lying on the pavement
With a broken bottle in his hand
And another in his back
Do you feel alright? Oi! Oi! Oi!
Someone's gonna die tonight Oi! Oi! Oi!
Do you feel alright? Oi! Oi! Oi!
The boys are out tonight!
with his footballscarf now stained red
With a broken bottle in his hand
You will never understand
it's not a proven fact it's a just a feeling
her old man dosen't own here like he did before
he was so clear but now he's a blur
I'm not the only one who's not afraid of you
the avenue's the same but the people are changing
she said she would be there they understand me
her old man dosen't own here like he did before
he was so clear but now he's a blur
I'm not the only one who's not afraid of you
the homeless child is no roll she played
it is real as anything the system has made
she's a monument forever standing
inner city exposer can be extremley demanding
teh pattern is circular as we pass the wine
she could no longer live with the lying
he family tried to control her feelings
it just gave her new life a deeper meaning
i'm not the only one
you motherfucker
I'm not the only one who's not afraid of you
some people got the kick of a bull
and the lies of a chronic thief in a store
some people try to take it out on you if they can
but i'll go right through them i'm a battering ram
been running my whole life and i'm still running
integrity is something you never had
reverance to your lies as a person you're bad
falsified living on the truth you're gonna choke
i'll just sit back and watch you cut your own throat
back biting hypocrite you're a liar
telling lies is what fuels your fire
once you get discovered the bullshit ends
i ain't stopping
battering ram
right on right on
right on right on
thru to you
some people got no validity not a bit
some people want to break down what's inside if they can
but i go right through them i'm a battering ram
been running my whole life and i'm still running
the man who talked shit i shut him down he's through
beat down the lies till they're black and blue
he talked so much shit but not today
i'm a siege engine get outta my way
i disregard the attempt to take me out
i curse the thought of another bout
but it's my method i ain't stopping
battering ram
right on right on
right on right on
thru to you
Some people are rotten deep down to the core
some people got the kick of a bull
and the lies of a chronic thief in a store
some people try to take it out on you if they can
but i'll go right through them i'm a battering ram
battering ram
right on right on
right on right on
thru to you
my life the blessing
understand my agression
i don't regret nothing
it's all been a lesson
me and my friend got the music
like a loaded gun were gonna use it
tell us we ain't shit i won't listen
try to hit us but you keep on missing
i knew the sentence then
i knew it was gonna blow
don't say i didn't warn you
apocalypse radio
i want to break someone's neck
i get a subwoofer going
four twelves get my blood stream going
never saw it coming paid my price in time
it's been ten years or more with all the
battle scars in my mind
i knew the sentence then
i knew it was gonna blow
don't say i didn't warn you
apocalypse radio
another show with a fucked up promoter
kids sent in by the media controller
they arrived in a '87 ford with a gun rack
case of bud and a stiletto blade
it's the kid of show you end up at
when you get stabbed by the blade
big buisness made
some people did and there's nothing i could do about it
they arrived in a '87 ford with a gun rack
case of bud and a stiletto blade
it's the kid of show you end up at
when you get stabbed by the blade
big buisness made
bullets sprayed the car as we drove into the night
we lived to tell the story and i'm gonna tell you
the state of the union of the state of california
chaos and discontent i'm a lunatic
thirty days in the street is how i'm doing it
a life of no money a quart of cisco
the horses are loose i got mine let's go
the enemy would not expect an attack at this hour
the moon is silver and the night gives me power
come and find me i'm gonna be here
come and find me i like it
spent some time in a shelter down on webster
you think i'm going back you must be joking
if i ever forget how bad it was to be homeless
i must still be high from the dope i was smoking
last night i was thinking
early morning drinking
the devils got work for
idle hands
you think i'm going back you must be joking
if i ever forget how bad it was to be homeless
i must still be high from the dope i was smoking
last night i was thinking
early morning drinking
the devils got work for
idle hands
hey you in the red dress
i know your not trying to impress me
in line from a distance
to scared to ask your name
all alone on this hot summer night
and i regret to this day i never got your name
do you want to dance with me
do you want to dance little rude girl
do you want to dance with me
do you want to dance little rude girl
waiting waiting waiting for an invitation
for an excursion
to tell my friends a different version
all alone on this hot summer night
and i regret to this day i never got your name

do you want to dance little rude girl
do you want to dance with me
do you want to dance little rude girl

all alone on this hot summer night
and i regret to this day i never got your name

do you want to dance little rude girl
Go to work - go to school
Get an education - so you won't
Be a fool - be a doctor
Get a PhD - all that shit's
Not for me
What to say - this is my life
Live it my own way
Figures of authority - always standing
Behind me - ready to come down
On me
Took his money and his wallet left him dead on the ground
I saw them gather celebrate the crime
Teachin us the laughter another lesson of mankind
I raise my hand I got another question
If I start a riot, will I get protection
Cause i'm a kid who's got a lotta problems
If i throw a brick maybe the brick will go and solve them
Oh, yeah, i wanna riot
Red alert tention you know its on the street
Code blue the city of the dead
Sirens in the night with the lights bloody red
See how we do this see how we ride
Throw a brick, light the fuse, dodge a bullet, duck inside
A statistic hammered on my brain
Branded with a number another pawn in the game
Oh, yeah i wanna riot
Cryin in line and dying burning debris
My face is burning, burning so quick
Burning like a candle at the end of its wick
Well i turn the dial i turn the channel
I turn it to a monster fighting the eternal battle
I need some help and there is no doubt
If i'm gonna go down i'm gonna take somebody out
Oh, yeah, i wanna riot
Waiting for me when I die
But between the day you're born and when you die
They never seem to hear you even your cry.
I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine
And the harder they come, the harder they fall
The harder they come, the harder they fall one and all.
Trying to drive me underground
And they think that they have got the battle won
I say forgive them Lord they know not what they've done.
I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine
And the harder they come, the harder they fall
The harder they come, the harder they fall one and all.
Though I know that when you're dead you can't
But I'd rather be a free man in my grave
Than living as a puppet or a slave.
I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine
And the harder they come, the harder they fall
The harder they come, the harder they fall one and all.
Under - the smoke of the old one
In and out - the streets are breathing
Under - the smoke of the old one
Take your loot on the move,at the boot on the crew
My best intentions always ended in a fight (in a fight)
You can send me to hell expose me I'll tell Just take control and say what they're doing (what they're doing)
Two-fifty dead the tribune read Oakland's going off like a bomb!
Under - the smoke of the old one
In and out - the streets are breathing
Under - the smoke of the old one
No surprise that you see thru the lies of a system rotten to the core (to the core)
High tech surveilence paranoia and violence Keeping the city at a calm (at a calm)
Two-fifty dead the tribune read Oakland's going off like a bomb!
Under - the smoke of the old one
In and out - the streets are breathing
Under - the smoke of the old one
and it's like It just don't seem right And I wonder is it gonna end? Hit it!
Knocking down the doors slogans on the walls One said fight back yea the system will fall
The police came out with tear gas and flames
Chaos in the city beating them at the game
Don't pay the poll tax the headlines read Thirty cops beaten another one dead
The fight lasted on through the Brixton night
a thousand angry looters who knew they were right
Under - the smoke of the old one
In and out - the streets are breathing
Under - the smoke of the old one
Under - the smoke of the old one
In and out - the streets are breathing
Under - the smoke of the old one
He had a bad feelin', can't hesitate
And at the end of the day he was so tired
And he looked at the television
"Now who's the fuckin liar"
He hates society, thinks it's to big
It's just about killin a man with his ring
And he knew what was happening, millions in gold
He's first on the case and theres a murder to shoot
Interrogate the kid with the 357
I'm gonna, i'm gonna blast 'em
Secret identity started so young
He never made friends, don't get too close
For a man who's got nothin, he's just got the mess
His family never knows the truth
Cause he gets cut when he tells the truth
No friends to lose or time to betray
The rendition from the papers gonna brake him again
Interrogate the kid with the 357
I'm gonna, i'm gonna blast 'em
Intensified anger, can't be controled
He turned his indiscretion, brought it all down
If there was ever force of reason it could never be found
The timing was perfect, this kid he was cleared
Computers down, he's clasped his fear
A different mind lives in a way
It's a good good thing that he got it straight
Interrogate the kid with the 357
I'm gonna, i'm gonna blast 'em
a path that wasn't meant to be,
catastrophe seems so clear,
along this grip reality, oi,
I cannot stay in here,
attention is banality,
so I stay locked out of fear,
a source of fatality,
ghost dance,
how the rain showers on me,
feel things getting ripped apart,
a million miles down the sea,
this tender cry of the human heart, oi,
so pretend you know the answer,
as the sky is turning grey,
pretend it isn't stupid,
as that rain rips your flesh apart,
ghost dance
i get silent when i'm drugged up
want excitement, don't get none, i go wild
if you play the game you get nothing out of it
find out for yourself try bein' a goody goody
no reason to play fair
cheat cheat or don't get anywhere
cheat cheat if you can't win
it's beyond your control, an' friday night's a ruin
if you wanna survive you better learn how to lie
they're not for you, they're for the fools
and you're a fool if you don't know that
so use the rule you stupid fool
I wanna say it now for now is today
A love has been given so why not enjoy
So let's all grab and let's all enjoy
If the kids are united then we'll never be divided
If the kids are united then we'll never be divided
