1. We're Back

Now that the whole third wave is gone
It's time for us to carry on
We took a break and stayed away
Now we've got a lot of things to say

Don't give a fuck about your scene
Because everyone already thinks we're mean
We'll take the credit and wear the shoes
For starting shit back in 92'

We're Back!.....Back and on the attack!!

We've talked the talk and walked the walk
Set the pace for metalliska
Mock us , mock us, if you can
Because we don't play like other bands

We like our fans to be nice and clean
Underage and about sixteen
All you burn outs stay away
Tell your mom I'm running late
You'd better be prepared for judgement day
We know where you'll be found...
You'd better be prepared for judgement day
Because it's starting now...

We stake our claim
And claim no fame
We think skacore's pretty lame
Someone make it go away
Let's not mention any names

Wanna hear our final thought?
We think all all of you should get shot
And if you think we're really playing?
We'll introduce you to our friend wayne



2. Say Goodnight

What's the matter with the kid's today
Is there something wrong with what they're saying?
No one wants to listen does anyone have time
Everything is veiled in a cheap disguise
Kids are shooting kids on the news today
And if you ask me I'm not surprised
Look what they've created, a monster by the age of five

Poor Johnny, he's crazy
Has problems you can see
Don't worry be happy
Now tell us what you see
They don't listen, no problem!
Homegrown from society
Just like me!

Keep spreading your destiny
And they'll follow your mediocrity
Tell the kids a bedtime story about what life should be
When you embrace life with broken arms
And their truth can't set it free
Brought up with resistance
Condemn the world for being me!

Are you ready for the fall?
When you're not prepared for the world at all
You thought you had it all!



3. The Drop In

Coming up from a sublevel known as the underground
Kept it real and developed our own sound
Didn't listen to know one else but ourselves
Next thing you know we've got records on the shelf

First things first we get people to listen
Understand this we give them what they're missing
Where they come from? I don't know
But they stand in front of us and watch us glow

They'll hear us Drop In !!

I've been to the east and I'm from the west
I've rocked my songs and I represent
People claim they're down when I come around
They wait for years just to hear our sounds
No boast no brag about herb we don't got
I don't want to hear shots
I'm going back to Cali back to my spot
Where the sun is shining and there's lot's to get got

Who's gonna give it up!
I'm not gonna give it up!
When I bleed for my scene because it's my dream
You're not gonna tell me I'm done
Who's gonna give it up!
I'm not gonna give it up!
When I stick to my guns and I'm still having fun
You're not gonna tell me I'm done!

They'll hear us Drop In!



4. Nightmares / Musical Therapy

Submerged in a pool of someone else's control
They've taken my emotions and imprisoned my soul
Forgetting my identity I'm mechanical from head to toe
Waking up in a cold sweat and afraid of my own shadow
NIGHTMARES!!
FUCKIN' NIGHTMARES!!
Another life that lives in my subconscious mind
One that's keeping me awake with the silence of the night
Visions of disorder flowing through my brain
Having to convince myself I'm not going insane

I'm living in a nightmare can't you see
I need some musical therapy



5. Silencer

Roll your sleeves up
Put up your dukes
The time has come for
Us to speak the truth
It never hits you until you realize
You've been victimized in front of your family's eyes
It's getting really sad
How now you have to fear the man
I just can't understand
Why they shot up her sedan

Public outrage
A community speaks
The justice system
Has just sprung a leak
Public figures are marching in the streets
Standing their ground against corrupt police
It's getting really sad
how now you have to fear the man
Let's burn em with the klu klux klan

The color skin
Skin to win
Becomes an issue
It becomes a sin
Everybody's focused on race
intense criticism settles in
it's getting really sad how now you have to fear the man
Four white officers kill a black woman



6. Orlando's Not Here

He used to live right up the street
On the corner of Jones street
No one knows just what he's done
But now he weighs 151

Orlando's Not Here!

Riding the street on his weighed down schwinn
Selling dime bags to all his friend's
In street fighter he'd always win
I haven't seen him since way back then

He'll answer the door in a disguise
Just minutes after he goes inside
He'll throw a party rain or shine
And if you're sellin'
Lando's not buying



7. The Devil Made Me Do It

I'm the bad apple that ruined it for the tree
Always getting blamed and claiming not guilty.
Just fifteen and a menace to society
Not for a second, thinking of what's in store for me
It's not my nature to act this way
I guess I've never thought about it
A young man tryin' to get his today
But first, I guess I have hell to pay...

The devil made me do it, he made me do it
The devil made me do it, he made me do it

I used to rob from my mom and dad just to get a bag
Then I'd smoke it all and laugh
Stealing from my mom's purse
Too stupid to realize it's me that's going to hurt
A young, dumb, full of cum kid
livin' out the definition of sin.
Got no tact, got no sense.
Now it's time to pay the consequence...


As I got older I didn't stop
Baggin' every house on my block
Until one of my friend's got caught
I remember wondering if the dime was gonna drop
My parent's were always in shock
Especially when they searched my room and found the ziplock
Checking my eyes everyday
And when they asked if I was high
This is what I'd say.....

The devil made me do it, he made me do it
The devil made me do it, he made me do it
The devil made me do it, he made me do it
The devil made me do it, he made me do it



8. El Mas Chingon

Yo soy un vato espantoso
Los otros se ponen muy nerviosos

YO SOY EL MAS CHINGON!!

Que chido son las noches de tequila
Borracho y cantando la misma cancion

Solo mis amigos me pueden aquietar
Porque yo soy el mas chingon

Mi ferocidad se siente asta Mexico
Es donde mi arbol retono
Soy una rama con espinas
Del bosque el mas chingon



9. The Last Party

This is the last party before die
I won't die, I'll just feel like shit
If someone offers me another drink
Dig my grave and throw me in

THIS IS THE LAST PARTY BEFORE I DIE !
I WON'T DIE
I'LL JUST FEEL LIKE SHIT!

I've been here since five p.m.
And I've been up all night
Then some girl walks up to me
And I can't say things right
A pain in my head, my eyes are blood red
The police are at the door
I'd better run and try to hide
Here they come, let's go!!

Sometimes I get sick of it
Then again, I don't want to quit
Social leprosy's not for me
Partying keeps my sanity



10. Symbolic

S is for the sickness we create with each other
Why is for the time that's spent with your brothers
Me I'm contemplating
All the looks in the yes
Beating down the doors
With no place to hide
Only living witness to what I fell inside
Looking past the last laugh
With no reason to cry
When you're from the outside
You've got to stay high
Could it make a difference
That's why you try

Easy come easy go
There's no in between
You're better off realizing
Do your own thing
Do this do that
They wan't you to sing
Gotta hold my own
Don't live out their dream
Stand up beaten down
Strictly for your soul
You pave the way
They want control
Understand pay the man
It's not what it seems
Before you know it
You lose everything

Have you heard the one about the world coming down
I try to make it easy
Try and stay down
What does it mean
Where does it go
Try to make it easy or my minds going to blow
Do you get lost in reality
You've got to realize
It can't change me

This way that way
How does it go
It's got me thinking
Does it mean anything

Hey!....Is this Symbolic



11. San Bernardino

I heard that you've been travelling the San Francisco scene
Tried your luck in Oregon and saw the in between

Pushing your luck so far
You've seen what you've seen
Try to out run your demons
Broken American dream

You got the burning yearning
And those small town dreams
Bought the one way ticket
It's not what it seems

Gotta get out gotta leave that place!

I heard that you got off in SAN BERNARDINO
I heard that you fell off in SAN BERNARDINO



12. Casa Blanca

(No Lyrics)



13. Cancion De Mala Suerte

Te dejan con la cabeza partida
Piernas cebradas , la mente podrida
Como el silencio en la noche que biene
Ay esta el asusto con tigo

Las cosas que asen bien sospechosas
Porque no aprendes a callar te la boca
Te voy a decir una ves mas
Que no sufren tus padres
Deja lo mas

Es tu cancion!!

No tienen ninguna razon
Te metan el dedo suerte chignon
No quiero ver a tu madre llorar
Parar en la calle te asen bailar
Te van a rechazar
Como basura o animal
No time to run or hide
Tu tiempo se acaba
Y el cielo se cae

Let me tell you about the ran out
Couldn't get out in time
To think what you did wrong
Clouds roll in and do him the only sin

They'll find you lying in the street!!
They found him lying in the street!!



14. I Shot The Sheriff [Originally by Bob Marley]

I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot the deputy.
I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot the deputy.

All around in my hometown,
They're tryin' to track me down.
They say they want to bring me in guilty,
For the killing of a deputy,
For the killing of a deputy.

But I say...

I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot the deputy.
I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot the deputy.

Sheriff John Brown always hated me,
For what I don't know.
Every time that I planted a seed,
He said, "Kill it before it grow."
He said, "Kill them before it grow."

But I say...

I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self defence.
I shot the sheriff, and they say it was a capital offence.

Reflexes got the better of me,
And what is to be must be.
Every day the bucket goes to the well,
But one day the bottom will drop out
Yeah, one day the bottom will drop out

But I say...
