1. Children Of The Revolution

Father looks down to his son
says "I was like you when I was young"
Son looks up to father's plans
Works in the factory with his hands

Says "I wanna be just like you,
organize the work for the collective few"
But as he grows up he sees no change
Systems won't let you rearrange!

Some day people will say
"Do we have to live this way?"
"Is this how we have to exist?"
And the people will rise up, and resist!

A majority class dominates
A world that the lower class creats
media confusion hides the fact
that we work with the rich man's knife in our back
we're killing ourselves for a profit gain
a profit off life what a fucking shame
we burn that flag for the values sworn
some day we'll burn it to keep warm

What we have done will not be lost
to all eternity
everything ripens at its time
and becomes fruit eventually!

CHILDREN OF THE REVOLUTION

2. Too Young To Know

too young to know, we're too reckless to care
too young to know, you were never even there
too young to know, we're too reckless to care
too young to know, now i just dont fucking care!

hello dear father you did a hell of a job
i sit and ponder wondering what the fuck is wrong
heres some toys, give this check to your mom
cause if i dont pay, the judge wont let daddy come

too young to know, we're too reckless to care
too young to know, you were never even there
too young to know, we're too reckless to care
too young to know, now i just dont fucking care!

the marriage vows are such a fucking joke
how many times can one person have and hold
sickness and health means nothing to me
we are the future of this dysfunctional society

too young to know, we're too reckless to care
too young to know, you were never even there
too young to know, we're too reckless to care
too young to know, now i just dont fucking care!

pack your bags and leave the family you built
i hope youre feeling lots of lonliness and guilt
so many fuck and knock there girlfriends up
desert your family and let your kids raise themselves

HEY DAD FUCK YOU

3. Alone

not gonna explain myself to the likes of you
tired of feeling sorry for feeling the way i do
ive heard that you cant please everybody on this earth
so from now on im putting myself first

doing what you know to be right, fuck everybody else
doing what you feel to be right, you only got yourself

never turn your back on friends that are true
sooner or later it comes down to you
stand up for yourself and what you believe
as long as you're true to yourself, theres nothing you cant achieve!

there comes a time when you may find yourself down and beaten
NO HOPE, NO FUTURE, total utter abandon
but you gotta take control, rise up outta nothing
only you can help yourself, your strength comes from within

have pride in nothing, cause nothing is sacred.

4. Social Security

I'm a punk get off my ass
because I'm fucking working class
I get up everyday and go to work
I'm treated like a fucking jerk
They suck my money every week
now my future's looking bleak
they say the money's almost gone
but what will I do when my time comes

hey! hey! hey!

Blue collar job you and I
kiss your fucking job goodbye
Soon you'll be old you'll be gray
And how will you earn your pay
For over 40 years you broke your back
But they gave your money to some bum on crack
they say we won't get it
but fucking the govt's leeches are still money sucking

hey! hey! hey!

Did you hear what they want to do to you and me
they wanna take away our social security

5. Goodbye America

Yeah, everything bothers me
Just about everything that I see
No need for a flag or a country
Raise your finger if you agree

The problems won't go away
If we keep our rage at bay
The filth and slime will always stay
If we choose to ignore and play

The stars and strips are prison bars
They won't let you get too far
The rule over many, by the few
You can't police my mind 'cause I won't let you

Goodbye America! Fuck you America!

Pledge allegiance to yourself
Not greed, power, war, and wealth
Remember you were born a HUMAN BEING
NOT A PART OF THEIR MACHINE

Goodbye America! Fuck you America!

NO MORE SOCIAL ORDER.

6. New World Fodder

When you're lying on your back under the foot of brutality
and gagging on the stockpile of junk
left by past generations and apathetic mentality
you can't help feel like you got the short end of the stick
when will we ever walk without a crutch
and live to exist and finally put away our fists
be a thief or a pauper, the choice is up to you
if the cause is sincere we're already halfway through

Thieve back! what they've stolen from you
Give back! the shit they've given to you
Attack! confront the problems they make
Don't react! cause we're lost if we wait

Cold war? No war? it's all the fucking same
It's done a little bit quieter so no one will complain
their structure has nothing to do with matter, time and space
so to live within a system is such a fucking waste
If you look inside yourself, at everything that's real
you see systems are two dimentional, they soon lose their appeal
Systems are incorperal they don't really exist
They're unnatural constructions that are natural to resist!

Thieve back! what they've stolen from you
Give back! the shit they've given to you
Let's fight! let's fight with our hearts
Unite! we shoudln't be apart

It's up to us, anarchists belive in a higher order
and a non-coercive way of life.
To litter our over crowded decaying cities with our literature
to heckel and drown out the speeches of corrupt leaders
that come to our towns and spew forth their wretched de-evolutionary
bullshit.
And hold demonstrations, as small as they may be,
to let the state know we're still here in 1996
and we're not going to sit back
and watch them destroy what little we have left to grasp onto.
LET THEM KNOW WE'RE HERE!
Some nights I dream of mutilated politicians on poles
headless officers of the almighty law
bloated bankers choking on money
the hungry feeding off pigs' corpses
the wonderful smell of racist's rotten flesh on fire
OPPRESSORS BE WARNED: ALL DREAMS COME TRUE SOMEDAY

7. Police Brutality

No Authority!
I've spoke my mind a thousand times
You can resist peacefully 'till the end of time
There's a point where you reach an end of thought
And the thought turns to action, emotion takes control!

Authority! No Authority! Fuck Authority!
Police Brutality!

Politicians are pigs in business suits
Triangle of power, the good are few
If terrors what you represent
TERRORS WHAT YOU'RE GONNA GET!

Authority! No Authority! Fuck Authority!
Police Brutality!

First word learned was the word no!

8. What Are We Waiting For?

Been a while since I've seen any constructive ideas.
Nothig new, "smash the state! smash the hate! smash the fear!" alright now,
how about coming off that cloud. put in prespective.
Let's start small
If we're not going to come together and be a sizeable force,
we're going to have to start out small and build it more and more.
let's use an old idea and start our own comunity.
we must work TOGETHER.
if we are to work towards living free.

They must think it's all a joke.
We laugh at them and they laugh right back.
We talk and talk and talk and yell.
But is there any chance of attack?

This is not a selfish act of "fuck the rest of the world" think about
it for a second, if our commune could he heard, production would
be high since everything'd be free. we could feed and cloth the
starving of the poorest countries.
development would rocket, setting examples for the world!
stateswould loose suport when they see what we've unfurled. our
sectionalist anarchy could overcome the factions.
the masses will not try it unless they see it put to action!
IS THERE ANY YOUTH LEFT IN THE CULTURE?
IS THERE ANY CULTURE LEFT IN THE YOUTH?
WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR? THEM?

9. Unseen Class

we do this for ourselves
and we do this for all of you
it's just the four of us doin what we do

oi! oi! oi!

you don't like what we're doing
you can fuck off
if you don't like what you're hearing
then you don't applaud

oi! oi! oi!

so fuck all of you, fuck your callous ways
society doesn't care what we have to say
so fuck all of them, fuck their careless ways
the lower class is unseen, & its time we had
our say

oi! oi! oi!

lower class fights to survive
make just enough to get by
don't let system bring you down
some day our time will come

oi! oi! oi!

10. Coincidence Or Consequence?

you have a job but you can't afford the rent
why is life always just dollars and cents?
if you can't get a job then you can't get a home
the vicious cycle spawns and turns your soul to bone

kill, kill, die, die, death, death, suicide
why do you think those rates are so high?
do you think it's just a coincidence that the black male
is the highest statistic trapped on welfare?

landlord system, life for rent
capitalism doesn't make any sense
don't join the system, it's suicide!
coincidence or consequence: you decide!

kill, kill, die, die, death, death, suicide

welfare is warfare

11. In The City

down here we walk a little faster
down here we grow up real tight
down here we stick together
because down here you've gotta fight

can live off this country's waste
we consume so much in this rat race
(the city is a) human breeding ground of exploitation
but I won't become jaded

IN THE CITY

it's capitalism at its best
people living neck to neck
their glass buildings won't fall on their own
so we should be throwing stones!

IN THE CITY

some of us were born here
some of us were brought here
some of us have moved here
but none of us can leave here

IN THE CITY

12. A.D.D.

ADD Disorder

ADD Bored to death

I cant sit still for a minute
Most impatient kid on the planet

Six hours of sitting still
always having a teacher tell you what to do
(Insert your high schools name here)...Fuck you

ADD Disorder
ADD Bored to death

ADD bored to death

Sitting out in the rain
where the fuck is the train?
can never do anything for too long
now im sick of this song

ADD Disorder
ADD Bored to death
ADD disorder
ADD bored to death

13. Every Rose Has Its Thorn

We both lie silently still in the dead of the night
Although we both lie close together
We feel miles apart inside
Was it somethin' I said or somethin' I did
Did my words not come out right
Tho' I tried not to hurt you
Tho' I tried
But I guess that's why they say

Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn

Yea it does

I listen to your favorite song playin' on the radio
Hear the DJ say love's a game of
Easy come and easy go
But I wonder does he know
Has it ever felt like this
And I know that you'd be here right now
If I could have let you know somehow I guess

Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn

Though it's been a while now
I can still feel so much pain
Like the knife that cuts you
The wound heals, but the scar, that scar remains

Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn

So I hear you've found somebody new
And that I never meant that much to you
To hear that tears me up inside
And to see you cuts me like a knife, I guess

Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn
