"Time to Relax"
Ah, it's time to relax
you know what that means
a glass of wine
your favorite easy chair
and of course,
this compact disk playing on your home stereo
so go on, indulge yourself
that's right - kick off your shoes
put your feet up
lean back and just enjoy the melodies
after all, music soothes even the savage beast

"Nitro (Youth Energy)"
our generation sees the world
not the same as before
we might as well just throw it all
and live like there's no tomorrow
there's no tomorrow
we are the ones
who are living under the gun every day
you might be gone before you know
so live like there's no tomorrow
ain't gonna waste this life
there's no tomorrow - you ain't gonna live it for me
believe it
the official view of the world has changed
live fast 'cause if you don't take it
you'll never make it
so if you understand me
and if you feel the same
then you will know what nitro means
you'll live like there's no tomorrow-ain't gonna waste this life
there's no tomorrow - you ain't gonna live it for me
there's no tomorrow

"Bad Habit"
hey man you know I'm really okay
the gun in my hand will tell you the same
but when I'm in my car
don't give me no crap
'cause the slightest thing and I just might snap
when I go driving I stay in my lane
but getting cut off, it makes me insane
I open the glove box
reach inside
I'm gonna wreck this fucker's ride
cause I got a bad habit
of blowin' away
I got a bad habit
and it ain't goin away
they say the road's a dangerous place
if you flip me off I'll get in you face
you drive on my ass
your foot's on the gas
and your next breath is your last
drivers are rude
such attitude
when I show my piece
complaints cease
something's odd
I feel like I'm god
you stupid dumbshit goddamn motherfucker
I open the glove box
reach inside
I'm gonna wreck this fucker's ride

"Gotta Get Away"
I'm getting edgy all the time
there's someone around me just a step behind
it's kinda scary, the shape I'm in
the walls are shakin' and they're closing in
too fast or a bit too slow
I'm paranoid of people and it's starting to show
there's one guy that I can't shake
over my shoulder is a big mistake
sitting on the bed
or lying wide awake
there's demons in my head
and it's more than I can take
I think I'm on a roll
but I think it's kinda weak
saying all I know is
I gotta get away from me
I tell you something just ain't right
my head is on loose but my shoes are tight
avoiding my friends 'cause they all bug
life is like a riddle and I'm really stumped
if you reason, don't you know
your own preoccupation is where you'll go
I'm being followed, I look around
it's only my shadow creeping on the ground

"Genocide"
our lives run different ways
through the rain I see you in the sun
our star shines anyway
if you wish upon it we are one
dog eat dog
every day
on our fellow man we pray
dog eat dog
to get by
hope you like my genocide
I find it such a shame
through the pain I see things as they are
we're served up on a plate
the pedestal is high enough to fall
and if in time
we can see the errors of our ways
would anyone change anyhow
our time is up
I'd bet you'd only run
if you saw what goes inside, our own
I bet you'd lead the way
if it were up to you to decide
but it's not

hmm, I especially liked that one. Let's see what's next.

"Something to Believe"
I believe that reality's gone
disillusion's real
I believe that morality's gone
and there's nothing to feel
if you take the sacred things
the things that we hold dear
empty promise is all you'll find
so give me something
something to believe in
I believe in a changing of the guard
put our feet on the ground
see it happen in your own backyard
everything breaks down
do you accept what you are told
without even thinking
throw it all and make your own
and give me something
something to believe in
where they lead
you will follow
well I guess that's just the way it goes
and if you look away
you'll be doing what they say
and if you look alive
you'll be singled out and tried
if you take home anything
let it be your will to think
the more cynical you become
the better off you'll be

"Come Out and Play [keep 'm separated]"
(You gotta keep 'm separated)
like the latest fashion
like a spreading disease
the kids are strappin' on their way to the classroom
getting weapons with the greatest of ease
the gangs stake their own campus locale
and if they catch you slippin' then it's all over pal
if one guy's colors and the others don't mix
they're gonna bash it up
hey - man you talkin' back to me?
take him out
you gotta keep 'em separated
hey - man you disrespecting' me?
take him out
you gotta keep 'em separated
hey they don't pay no mind
if you're under 18 you wont be doing' any time
hey come out and play
by the time you hear the siren
its already too late
one goes to the morgue and the other to jail
one guy's wasted and the other's a waste
it goes down the same as a thousand before
no one's getting smarter
no one's learning the score
your never ending spree of death and violence and hate
is gonna tie your own rope

"Self Esteem"
I wrote her off for the tenth time today
and practiced all the things I would say
but she came over
I lost my nerve
I took her back and made her dessert
now I know I'm being used
that's okay man 'cause I like the abuse
I know she's playing with me
that's okay 'cause I got no self esteem
we make plans to go out at night
I wait till 2 then I turn out the light
all this rejection's got me so low
if she keeps it up I just might tell her so
when she's saying that she wants only me
then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends
when she's saying that I'm like a disease
then I wonder how much more I can spend
well I guess I should stick up for myself
but I really think it's better this way
the more you suffer
the more it shows you really care - right?
now I'll relate this little bit
that happens more then I'd like to admit
late at night she knocks on my door
she's drunk again and looking' to score
now I know, I should say no
but it's kinda hard when she's ready to go
I may be dumb but I'm not a dweeb
I'm just a sucker with no self esteem

"It'll Be A Long Time"
all this time has whittled away
like so many days in one
back and forth the leaders sway
backing it up with guns
superpowers flex their wings
hold the world on puppet strings
egos will feed
while citizens bleed
that's always the way it goes
when will the world listen to reason
I've a feeling it'll be a long time
when will the truth come in to season
I've a feeling it'll be a long time
all they want is what they can defend
before their time is up
make the same mistakes all again
heard it all before
superpowers flex their wings
hold the world on puppet strings
egos will feed
while citizens bleed
that's always the way it goes
well if they tried
maybe they'd see
it'd do a little good to let the world be free
handshake and a smile
gets you on through
then turn all around with the suicide move
but you know it's not fooling anyone but me
you gotta make yourself see what you want to see

"Killboy Powerhead"
he's a pistol grip and a lightning rod hammer step
he always busts his knuckles
when he's wrenchin' up his shit
he just a killboy powerhead...yeah
you know I saw his woman
she was writing his name in blood
you know I saw his woman
hard as a rock
she said she was his baby
who looked just like a Hoover dam
you know I saw his woman
hard as a rock
he just a killboy powerhead
killboy powerhead
killboy powerhead
killboy powerhead...yeah

"What Happened To You?"
(what in the world happened to you?)
before you started tokin'
you used to have a brain
but now you don't get even the simplest of things
I can draw a little picture
or even use my hands
I try to explain but you just don't understand
man you're really losin' it
and you've really done a lot of junk now
but you keep on abusin' it
what in the world happened to you
it's bad enough you do it to yourself
but taking someone with you
well you know that's something else
I say I'm not that kind of person
I'm not that kind of man
I try to explain but you just don't understand
I might be sympathetic or cut a little slack
if I thought that you were willing to give a little back
but you do it in the morning
you do it in the night
you lie to refrain from just facing your life
so I'll see you man tomorrow
you'll be gackin' up again
I'll see you in your coffin by the time your wad is spent
I think of all the times that I try to lend a hand
I try to explain but you just don't understand

"So Alone"
look at the crowd and tell me whether
all are surrounded
but none are together
if you're awake, look all around
at all of the people
still you're so alone
so alone
if I could, I'd make a suggestion
without sounding preachy
or begging the question
melt with your minds
melt with each other
don't be surrounded, don't be so alone

"Not the One"
I'm not the one who made the world what it is today
I'm not the one who caused the problems started long ago
but now I deal with all the consequence that troubles our times
I carry on and never once have even questioned why
I'm innocent
but the weight of the world is on my shoulders
I'm innocent
but the battles started are far from over
we're not the ones who leave the homeless in the streets at night
we're not the ones who've kept minorities and women down
still we grow and then the problems they become our own
we carry on without even realizing why
we're innocent
but the weight of the world is on our shoulders
we're innocent
but the battles left us are far from over
we're not the ones whose pollution blackened our skies
and ruined our streams
we're not the ones who made the nuclear bombs
that threaten our lives
we're not the one's who let the children starve in far away lands
we're not the ones who made the streets unsafe to walk at night
and even if we try and not become so overwhelmed
and if we make some contribution to the plight we see
still our descendents will inherit our mistakes of today
they'll suffer just the same as we and never wonder why

"Smash"
head over heels I've fit in before
now I don't want to do it no more
I've held it all in with blood on my face
built it up man so bad you could taste
I don't slag no one
I don't even judge
don't give a shit 'cause I'm not gonna budge
I just want to be who I want to be
guess that's hard for others to see
I'm not a trendy asshole
I do what I want
I do what I feel like
I'm not a trendy asshole
I don't give a fuck if it's good enough for you
'cause I'm alive
smash is the way you feel all alone
like an outcast you're out on your own
smash is the way you deal with your life
like an outcast you're smashing to strife
head over heels I've fit in before
now I don't want to do it no more
I just want to be who I want to be
guess that's hard for others to see
