Sick Of It All

"View From The Surface"

"View From The Surface"


Floating, but gasping for a breath
Paying through the nose for every bit of air
Strapped and bleak
Where's the feast in feast or famine

Strapped and bleak
Who stole the peak
From the valley

When's it coming next
When's the next respite
The next deep breath

Strapped and bleak
Where's the feast in feast or famine
Where'd it go

There's not a lot to go around
There's just the hope for next time
Yeah right

So here's the ration, make it last
Don't be surprised if it disappears fast
Too fast

It's the view from the surface
Not above and not below

It's great not to worry
It's great to fake it for another day
It's great not to worry
But that would mean breathing
Easy once again, again

Don't count on it again
Or on anything

Strapped and bleak
Where's the feast in feast or famine

Strapped and bleak
Who stole the peak
Where'd it go

"Violent Generation"

"Violent Generation"


Hard times, is what we're in
and it ain't getting any easier my friends
friends, search for the easy way out
and they don't care how it comes about
youth, they just wanna get paid
they don't wanna end up working like slaves
slavin', for nickels and dimes
so they turn to the quick money of crime

Morals are gone, no respect for human life
but what was it that you'd expect
take a look around at this world we live in
tell me you wouldn't grow up cold and callous
prejudice, is one of their tools
and we fell for it like a pack of fools
fools, is what we are
we follow their plans to the letter so far
each other, at the other's throat
they sit back, to them it's all a joke
joke, but now the joke is on them
they can't deal with this generation so violent

We stand accused of the crimes
the crimes that take place
they point the finger
but they're the ones that set the pace
they beat you down, to try to keep you in your place
they were the ones, they were the ones
they were the ones that taught me to hate

"Waiting For The Day"

"Waiting For The Day"


Every dog has his day they say, well, I’m still waiting for mine
You work and slave, you break your back and you’re still at the end of the line
You give and you give till there’s nothing left, but that’s just what it takes
So you pick yourself up, push on ahead and hope you catch a break

WAITING FOR THE DAY
WAITING, WAITING FOR THE DAY TO COME

Waiting for the day
Waiting for the day
Waiting for the day, our day to come
Waiting for our time
Waiting for our time
Waiting for our time, our time in the sun

A dollar and a dream, seems more like a scheme!
Won’t put food on the table
It’s another device to keep their grip tight and keep you in their sights
You scrape and scrounge what you can and still they bleed you dry
When you feel like giving in, you’ve hit the end of the line
You got to shut your eyes and dig in deep, it’s the only way to survive

WAITING FOR THE DAY
WAITING, WAITING FOR THE DAY TO COME

Waiting for the day
Waiting for the day
Waiting for the day, our day to come
Waiting for our time
Waiting for our time
Waiting for our time, our time in the sun

And when the well runs dry
You gotta reach down and dig a little deeper

Waiting for the day
Waiting for the day
Waiting for the day, our day to come
Waiting for our time
Waiting for our time
Waiting for our time, our time in the...

Waiting for the day
Waiting for the day
Waiting for the day, our day to come
Waiting for our time
Waiting for our time
Waiting for our time, our time in the sun

"Watch It Burn"

"Watch It Burn"


Head straight for the edge
Same mistakes again
Lessons never learned
Strike the match and watch it burn

Burn myself once again
I ride it out to the bitter end

It’s easy to ignore writing on the wall
Block out all concerned
Head for the crash and burn

Burn myself once again
I ride it out to the bitter end
When will I ever learn?
I strike the match and watch it burn

Good intentions pave the road
A one way street and we all know where it goes
I see the warnings and how this ends
I block it out and fail myself once again

Burn, burn myself once again
I ride it out to the bitter end
When will I ever learn?
I strike the match and watch it burn
I’ll watch it burn

I’LL WATCH IT BURN
A constant battle that never ends
Against the prison walls I put myself in
I’LL WATCH IT BURN
Under the pressure, I start to fold
As this demon tears away at my soul
I’LL WATCH IT BURN
I won’t go out, no not that way
I steel myself and live to fight another day
I’LL WATCH IT BURN

Burn, burn, I’ll strike the match and watch it burn

"We Stand Alone"

"We Stand Alone"


Here it is, once again,
Tales of betrayal by the ones we call our friends
Took us long to get where we are
Now we're told what we've done is wrong

We all started with something to say
Was it our different views or jealousy in the way
Now you're the ones setting the rules
Just like the establishment you're so against
Lay down your laws, say what you will
Tell me I'm wrong and I'll defy you

Who are you to make up rules and put us down?
With our friends, we'll stay to the end
And if it comes down to it, we'll stand alone

Here it is once again, tales of conformity
By the ones who would be king
We never set out to impress anyone
It's just an outlet, our chance to be heard
At first you said we hated to much
Now you say we just can't hate enough
Now you're screaming that we've changed
We've grown up but our beliefs are still the same
It's still an outlet for anger and strife
But one more thing, it's also our life

(We) We don't need any help (stand alone)
Our beliefs are strong enough to (stand alone)
Our desire's burning deep, in our hearts
It's in ourheads, it's in our souls
(We) We defy your fucking lies (stand alone)
You question our beliefs (stand alone)
Our desire's burning deep, in our hearts
It's in our heads, it's in our souls (stand alone) [x2]

People from the past, they don't want to hear us
The ones they call our peers, they just fear us
Ain't handin' no lies but reality comes off as cold
What you hear from me comes from deep down inside us
This just ain't a song of defiance,
I'm just tellin' you how it goes

We stand alone!

"We Want The Truth"

"We Want The Truth"


Abused used the way we felt
Dirt cheap the way you dealt
Talk talk nothing's said
Speeches promises don't mean a thing
Empty words from your mouth
Token actions gave you clout
Time's now to end your luck
No more talks cause we don't give a fuck

About your alibis, about your lies
and all your excuses
Think we can't handle it
Think we would cave in, why don't you try it
No more stories, no more double talk
and no more cover ups, we just want the truth!

Abused used the way we felt
Dirt cheap the way you dealt
Talk talk nothing's said
Speeches promises don't mean a thing
Empty words from your mouth
No one cares what it's about
In the past give us proof
No more talks, we just want the truth!

And what about the youth
Never told the truth
Never told what it's all about
It's all about the wealth
There's no one there to help
and everyone's looking out for themselves
Put our faith in you and our trust too
Have you no conscience
We know the story, it's money and glory
Don't care who you step on
No more speeches, no time for apologies
We heard it all before
All of your alibis, all about your lies
and all your excuses
Think we can't handle it
Think we would cave in, think we can't take it
No more stories, no more double talk
No more cover ups, we just want the truth!

"What's Goin' On"

"What's Goin' On"


Does anybody realize what's goin' on
take a look around and you will see that we're destroying ourselves
does everybody out there have a chip on their shoulders
or is it that we've got nothing, nothing better to do

Beatings of five to one wasn't enough
now we're using everything from chains
to knives and guns
how much more of this do we have to take
before we realize it's such a senseless waste

Does anybody out there hear the cries
of mothers who have lost their children
to your foolish games
when are you gonna realize
that it's all just, just a senseless waste

You think that it's just a game
well, I've got one thing to explain
someday your luck will fail
then you'll wind up dead or jailed

"Who Sets The Rules"

"Who Sets The Rules"


Fly by night scenester, Fly by night hipster
One more newjack wants to set the rules
Fly by night scenester, Fly by night hipster

Never suffered, never paid the dues living contradiction,
live a lie oh so fashionable what a goddamn pitiful sight it must
be a great thing knowing it all spreading nausea with a brazen show of gall

Who sets the rules
The snobby fools
Who sets the rules

The fascist who wants to rule
Living independent what a joke those caught dipping in a trust fund won't go
broke all this rhetoric is so hard to bear when the fool assumes a high and mighty air
People come and go, only some can really know who is laughable
who should be on a pedestal.

Trendy we'll see in the future what'll be, who is obsolete
The one who takes it to extremes.

"Will We Survive"

"Will We Survive"


There comes a time in our lives
to ask the question will we survive
reach for a future within our grasp tryin' not to lose hold of our past
all these decisions comin' on
got to keep perspective of what's right and what's wrong
bonds that were made, in the past
hope they survive, hope they will last
'cause it's your voices that make us strong
for that reason alone we must go on, we must go on

So when the time comes in our lives
to ask the question, will we survive
with all the shit that we've been through
there's only one answer that would be true
we found an outlet we can trust
without this release I know we would bust

Took alot of shit in our lives, made it thru time after time
i know we will survive
we, we will survive
we, we will survive

"World Full Of Hate"

"World Full Of Hate"


Living in a time when no one cares or gives a shit,
the world now cold and hard
Senseless killing, no apparent reason
Suffer the greed of what the others got
Anger and hatred, the tension's always there
There is no relief in sight for this world full of hate

Nobody cries as the innocent die and the guilty go free in this world - full of hate
Struggle and strive just to live out our lives as we try to survive in this world - full of hate
Nobody cries as the innocent die and the guilty go free in this world - full of hate
Struggle and strive just to live out our lives as we try to survive in this world - full of hate

Stand with me, disregard is all I see
Keep to yourself sheltered for no one else
I've got no respect for a world that can't take care of it's own

Living in a time when no one cares
Or gives a shit, the world now cold and hard
Senseless killing, no appearant reason
Suffer the greed of what the others got
Anger and hatred, the tensions always there
There's no relief in sight for this world full of hate

Nobody cries as the innocent die and the guilty go free in this world - full of hate
Struggle and strive just to live out our lives as we try to survive in this world - full of hate
Nobody cries as the innocent die and the guilty go free in this world - full of hate
Struggle and strive just to live out our lives as we try to survive in this world - full of hate
