1. Exorcism

I just can't let up
And won't slow down
Tormenting me, something way deep down
Triggered raw emotion
Coupled with some fear
This liquid courage, madness comes near
Lighting up the place
From town to town
No daemons out tonight
Won't you join this exorcism?
Fire burns my soul tonight
Release the anger
The spirits move your soul
you got the power, loss of control
Let this be your introduction
To the power that be
Let's shake the core of what you used to be
Join us in our exorcism
Spirits call on you tonight
Won't you join this exorcism, as the night falls on us tonight?



2. Fire In The Dancehall

There's a fire in the dancehall
There's a movement in the light
There's a fire in the dancehall
It's going down tonight
We need a shakedown
Ignite the fire, smash the radio
It's got nothing on me
There's no danger anymore
It's just another commodity
Banned from the limelight
Destined for blasphemy
The devil sold his soul to the God of mediocrity
Gave the selector one to his head
One thing I know unites us all
Light 'em up
There's a fire in the dancehall
It's going down tonight
What better time than now
For you to start the revolution
my radio speaks to me with pain and apathy
Hey! Mister DJ, don't play that song for me
Can't sing their song no more
They don't rhyme with my reality
We watch them move we watch them fall
Light up the place
There's a fire in the dancehall
Brake the rules and hear the call
Burn up the place
There's a fire in the dancehall



3. The Ballad Of Froggy McNasty

Setting sail pack the bags tonight
2 minutes to midnight and the time is right
City to city creepin' through the night
Heading for trouble and startin' fights

Walk in the place like you just don't care
Pay no attention to the ones who stare
Sit down and take a shot 'cause life's unfair
Carry no burdens of the world anywhere

First one there and the last one to leave
Have a toast of Sailor Jerry's as we set off to the sea.
Tell your woman that you love her,
Let her know you care
As the ship sails on and on and on.

First one here and the last one to leave
Drink a toast with Sailor Jerry before we set off to the sea.
There's no telling where we're goin'
We won't know until we get there
As the London fog rolls on and on and on.

The party's never over
Even if you're stone cold sober
There's a world domination plan
Your city's streets and a spray paint can (and a few beer cans)

As daylight comes head out of sight
Back to the cave and out of the night
Morning dawns another day
As this vessel takes me far away

Light me up a cigarette and throw my worries to the air
Lurking through your city streets
Completely unaware
Empty bottles in the gutter like ships passing through the night
And I'll keep moving on and on and on

First one there and the last one to leave
Have a toast of Sailor Jerry's as we set off to the sea.
Tell your woman that you love her,
Make 'em think you care
As the ship sails on and on and on.

First one here and the last one to leave
Drink a toast with Sailor Jerry before we set off to the sea.
There's no telling where we're goin'
We won't know until we get there
As the London fog rolls on and on and on.



4. The Morning Air Raid Sirens

Abusing power for senseless tragedy
Given the honor among the thieves
Family traditions and breeding tyranny
Veiled under the guise of the American dream.

[Chorus:]
I don't wanna wake up to morning air raid sirens
Don't wanna end up in World War 3
Don't wanna blow up to morning air raid sirens
Don't wanna be another faceless casualty

Who's got the power? Where's the morality?
Raised with scouts honor. False prophet loyalty
They must love the smell of napalm in the morning
An eye for an eye only makes the world go blind.

Old men declaring war but it's the youth who fight
Dying like a dog for no good reason
Casting ballots for the lesser of two evils
The devil laughing preparing his acceptance speech

I don't feel safe living in this scary place
Let's raise a toast for the end of time

[Chorus 2x]

Faceless leaders taking us down with them
Clearing a path for selfish ambition
Blind lead the blind through the senseless battlefield
Holding the hands of the idiots that have no clue

Who's gonna step up, take us to that better place
What's it gonna take, for us to live as one
Feels like we're sitting pretty
In the hull of someone's sinking ship

I don't feel safe living in this scary place
Only the marching dead will see the end of time.



5. Discombobulated

Comes in late for work
Always late for life.
Everyday's a struggle
Every night's a fight.
It's 3 am,
Where have you been?
Just keep your head together
Even though it's wearing thin.

You make a pit stop
At the bar every night.
Familiar faces and the
Bartender listens to your plight.
Placed all your bets
On this life you call your own.
Here's looking at ya kid,
The dealer's laughing at you.

You can't hit pause
The cycle doesn't stop.
It just keeps coming at you
Until you think you're gonna drop.
What's the secret clause
It's driven us insane.
Won't hold my breath
It's day to day.

You see some people
With their functionality.
What do they know?
How do they see?
Come stop livin'
And throw it all away.
Can't stop the pressure cooker
From blowin' them away.

Discombobulated

Too much work
It keeps him up at night.
They go to school
And the kids aren't alright.
Mom sits at home
With depression everyday.
Because its meant to be
Or did you make it that way.

Who's got the answer
Because I'm struggling today.
A life with indecision
And no time for delay.
And so for the ones
who ain't alright.
Cheers to you
Don't go down without a fight.

Discombobulated



6. Home Is Where The Heart(ache) Is

She runs away
With nothing to say.
Shoes in her hands
Is salvation coming near?

Her hair's a mess
And look at that dress.
Can't help to say
She's got the pills to make it better.

Maybe she needs therapy
Or maybe she just don't need me.
Drinkin', drivin', one night stands
Slit your wrist and try again.
Mom is gone, daddy's away
Sometimes there's nothing left to say.
Doesn't want to hold my hand
Never call it home again.

Down by the liquor store
At the corner if she wants more.
Take you places far away,
Replace the words that you can't say.

Home is where the heart(ache) is
Empty bottles, fucked up kids.
Looking for that other place
Somethings you just can't erase.

Left for dead one Saturday
Took the plunge and drove away.
Close your eyes, try to forget
Home is where the heart(ache) is.

Maybe she needs therapy
Or maybe she just don't need me.
Drinkin', drivin', one night stands
Slit your wrist and try again.

Home is where the heart(ache) is



7. While My City Sleeps

Way down east of L.A.
Where the skies are grey
They come out at night
Where the stray dogs lie.

While my city sleeps
Where the lurkers creep
Is there still hope for me?
On these haunted streets.

Easy to get caught up
When you're all fucked up
This is your no mans land
No one to hold your hand.

And where the angels die
Making mothers cry
Down by the riverside.

Come down the 215
It is the place unseen
Where the desert begin
We're underneath your skin.
We got suburban life
And we come out at night
Find a place to hide
Welcome to Riverside

While my city sleeps



8. Dancing On Your Grave

Some light candles and say a prayer
In honor of the dead.
Make the best of your useless life,
When it's all been said.
Tonight we drink, tonight we smoke
And try to get brain dead.
Let's try dancing on your grave
And lose your fucking head.

Feels like little demons dancing in my head
Telling me to blow things up
And wake the dead.

You've got the power and you've got the might
So let's light that motherfucker up
And go all night.

Another shot of whiskey and a cup of sin
Looks like you folded and lost again.

When it's all set and done we'll be dancing on your grave.

Feels like little demons dancing in my head
Telling me to blow things up
And wake the dead.

Surrender to those forces buried in your head
Telling you to let it go and what do to instead

Tonight we drink, tonight we smoke
And try to get brain dead.
Let's try dancing on your grave
And lose your fuckin' head.



9. When The World Stops Turning

Save us from tomorrow, we need help today
Seems like we've been burning bridges
Instead of trying to pave the way.
Feels like the World's turned their back on us
With nothing but discontent.
Public enemy number one has cashed in your rent check

Where you gonna be when the World stops turning?
(When the World stops turning)
What you gonna do when the sun stops shining?
(When the World stops turning)

Fight a war over Texas tea
At the expense of our bloodshed.
Third World mental combat
Versus superpower technology.
The blind led through the battlefields
With all the words they say.
In the name of government, God bless the USA.

Where you gonna be when the World stops turning?
(When the World stops turning)
What you gonna do when the sun stops shining?
(When the World stops turning)

Mother earth, she declares war on all the human race
Father time is closing in as the devil sits and waits
No more borders anymore when she declares her fate.
When the World stops turning, it won't matter anyway.

Where you gonna be when the World stops turning?
(When the World stops turning)
What you gonna do when the sun stops shining?
(When the World stops turning)



10. Southern California Street Music

Southern California street music
Is a way of life for me.
Pollutes the air I breathe
And I'll let it define me.

From the streets of Hollywood and back to the IE
It's like no other place from the desert to the sea
Ragin' con San Diego, the riots in HB.
Backyard parties east L.A. part of the legacy.

You can hide behind your baseball teams
Or go outside and freeze.
Southern California street music is a part of you and me.
Mask it up with your down home pride and cheesy loyalty
Southern California street music runs through my blood real deep.

Everyone knows where it all goes down
And where it all comes from.
Some will never know
Go out and get you some.

There's not surrender and no compromise
This is our life, so recognize.

GO!

You can hide behind your baseball teams
Or go outside and freeze.
Southern California street music is a part of you and me.
Mask it up with your down home pride and cheesy loyalty
Southern California street music runs through my blood real deep.



11. Death Wish List

I think you're on her death wish list
I really think she wants you dead.
If she had a death wish list
You'd be the one that she wants dead.

This time around you might go down
If you don't change your ways.
Life of regret and Karma lurks with sobering consequence

I think you're on her death wish list
I really think she wants you dead.
If she had a death wish list
You'd be the one that she wants dead.

Bad choices, lack of judgement or chalk it up to fate
Burning candles at both ends then trying to walk away
Goin' about things the hard way and saving face today
Better watch your back now, as the cycle fades away.

You're just wasting precious time
You'll be better off this way.
There's no such things as borrowed time
Pass that torch and walk away

I think you're on her death wish list
I really think she wants you dead.
If she had a death wish list
You'd be the one that she wants dead.



12. Say Hello To My Little Friend

Because your job sucks and life's a mess
And living day to day
Plastic people, phony smiles.
Sometimes you wanna make them pay
Surrended to the grindstone
Your complacent and obey.
You can't help but someday think will it always be this way?

As the past gets blurry and memories start to fade
You figure out what matters most, and is here to stay
Your life is what you make it, that's what wise men say
Raise the glass, and say the toast
"Here's to the better days"

Now that you're a zombie and joined the living dead
The dead corps tell you what to think
And who you are my friend.

SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!

Get use to your bad choices, you'll live them everyday
Another spirit broken, with many wasted days
Closer to the deep end, hanging by the throat
Better take your last breath, or lose it all my friend.

Set that alarm, grit your teeth
And walk among the dead.
Welcome to the dead corps
This is your dead end.

SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!
