Lyrics

1. LEAVE IT ALONE

Breath
ever so soft
we wouldn't wanna break the eggs as we walk
never alone
cautious afraid
I hear the voice of reason on the P.A.

leave it alone follow the grain
we couldn't stop the irresistable force
leave it the same
change with the leaves
bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the old
leave it alone

dananananananana
dananananananana
dananananananana
dananananananana

breath ever so slight
we couldn't take away your god given right
leave it alone, heel and stay
roll over and shake and beg for the bone
leave it alone

2. DON'T CALL ME WHITE

Don't call me white! (4x)

The connotations wearing my nerves thin
Could it be semantics generating the mess we're in?
I understand that language breeds stereotype
But what's the explanation for the malice, for the spite?

Don't call me white! (4x)

I wasn't brought here, I was born
Circumcised, categorized, allegiance sworn
Does this mean I have to take such shit
For being fair skinned? No!
I ain't a part of no conspiracy, I'm just your average Joe

Don't call me white!(4x)

Represents everything I hate
The soap shoved in your mouth to cleanse the mind
A vast majority of sheep
A buttoned collar, starched and bleached
Constricting veins, the blood flow to the brain slows
They're so fuckin' ordinary, white
Don't call me white

We're better off this way
Say what you're gonna say
So go ahead and label me
An asshole 'cause I can
Accept responsibility for what I've done
But not for who I am
Don't call me white

Don't call me white! (2x)

3. SOUL DOUBT (LIVE)

Sometimes I feel my life
is going 'round in circles
Beneath my eyes are bluish black
There's nothing new, no one I wanna talk to
Nothing I wanna think about, I got soul doubt
I stick My head out of the window, it's closed
Instead of air, I get glass stuck in to my head
The city's sounding,
and I can't seem to stop the pounding
Can't keep my thoughts
from flying 'round
Not sure what I am thinking about,
I got soul doubt
A shameless display,
wearing a smile full of pain
A frameless Erte,
a painting without a signature
She's waiting for someone to save her
As I pass her I see Cinderella
She dosen't fit into the slipper
Like she fits in a bottle of liquor
There's no one to take her away
Her eyes meet mine, she sees right through me
The question is asked,
Whatcha' gonna do for me?
I don't want nothin', just a connection
I gotta know what she's all about
Cause I know she's been there
Soul doubt
I stick my head out of the window once again
This time I see a thousand faces all too clear
They wear the same expression,
I've seen in my face
So many times, I know exactly how they feel
I know exactly how they feel
I know just what they think about
They've got soul doubt


4. DRUGS ARE GOOD

Want to fuck off, drop out never trust a fuckin' hippie
For that matter don't trust anyone
Quit school, don't work livin' up the music you punk
If I could do it so could anyone
Drugs are good
They make the feeling that you know you not should
And when you do them people think that you're cool
And when you do them people think that you're cool
Want to join a punk band shave your head and get a tattoo
You don't need talent just the attitude
Self destruction, no moral to throw it on me
For no particular reason beat up everyone
Drugs are neat and you can buy them relatively cheap
And when you do them people think that you're cool
And when you do them people think that you're cool
