"Vengeance"
(originally by The Nipple Erectors)



Well I remember the times you put me down on the floor
Spreading it around like a cheap little whore
But now you've finished with your fancy man
A skinny little runt from Birmingham

I want vengeance and I want it now
I want vengeance, gonna get it somehow
I'm gonna hit him, I'm gonna kill him
I'm gonna really make him pay for what he's done
I'm gonna hit him, I'm gonna kill him
Nobody spoils my fun

Well I was crying
But now I've stopped
And you were lying
The penny's dropped

So shut your mouth and lay on the bed
And when I'm finished with you, I'm gonna break his head
I'm gonna hit him, I'm gonna kill him
I'm gonna really make him pay for what he's done
I'm gonna hit him, I'm gonna kill him
Nobody spoils my fun

Well I had my very last night with you
You pushed me too far and now we're through
You're running to the car and you think you're cute
But you're the kind of bitch that they ought to shoot

I want vengeance and I want it now
I want vengeance, gonna get it somehow
I'm gonna hit him, I'm gonna kill him
I'm gonna really make him pay for what he's done
I'm gonna hit him, I'm gonna kill him
Nobody spoils my fun

Well I was crying
Yeah, But now I've stopped
And you were lying
The penny's dropped

So shut your mouth and lay on the bed
And when I'm finished with you, I'm gonna break his head
I'm gonna hit him, I'm gonna kill him
I'm gonna really make him pay for what he's done
I'm gonna hit him, I'm gonna kill him
Nobody spoils my fun
Nobody spoils my fun

I want vengeance and I want it now
I want vengeance, gonna get it somehow
I want vengeance and I want it now
I want vengeance, gonna get it somehow
I want vengeance and I want it now
I want vengeance and I want it now
I want vengeance and I want it now
I want vengeance and I want it
I want it now!

"Vices And Virtues"

"Vices And Virtues"


Now hear me all you victims
Come listen, gather around
For now we'll tell the story of four brothers in the ground
One died from the bottle though he wouldn't harm a fly
He froze in the south end alley
Behind a gin mill left to die
And another died by the bullet at the hand's of a sniper's gun
In the valley of the Nha-Trang for a war we never won

Whiskey, War, Suicide & Guns [x2]

The next one took his life
They said there was never any hope
He was shocked and institutionalized
Found hanging from a rope

And another son was shot again
But this time over drugs
There'll be no heroes welcome
For this small time city thug

One from the whiskey
One from the war
One by suicide
And another by the gun

Whiskey, War, Suicide & Guns
They took their lives, they took their sons
[x2]

One died from whiskey
And another in the war
One died by suicide
And the last one by the gun

Whiskey, War, Suicide & Guns
They took their lives, they took their sons
[x2]

Whiskey, War, Suicide & Guns

"Walk Away"

"Walk Away"


So you say you fell in love
And you're gonna get married
Raise yourself a family
How simple life can be
Somewhere it all went wrong
And your plan just fell apart
And you aint got the heart
to finish what you started

Yeah you fell in love
And you went and got married
Had yourself a family
How simple life can be
Somewhere it all went wrong
And your plan just fell apart
And you aint got the heart
to finish what you started

The ones that you loved
The ones that you left behind
The ones you said you'd try to find
Are they tryin' to find you?
[x2]

Somewhere it all went wrong
And your plan just fell apart
And you ain't got the heart
to finish what you started
You walked out that door
To find out where you belong
To fulfill your own selfish dreams
I think you might have forgotten

The ones that you loved
The ones that you left behind
The ones you said you'd try to find
Are they tryin' to find you?
[x2]

"Warlords"
(originally by F.U.)

"Warlords"
(originally by F.U.)



Five years ago you were safe with your TV
Never even though what your future might be
Now you’re just a packrat picking through the rubble
Scared of your own shadow trying to hide from the trouble
Where is that comfort to which you were devoted?
Weren’t you surprised when your world exploded?
Your hiding days are over now that we’ve found you
Resist or surrender doesn’t matter we’ll destroy you

Warlords join us or we’ll blow you away

Maybe you got brains maybe you’re ruthless
Maybe you’re lucky and we might let you join us
Maybe you just got something that we need
Your house or your food or your guns or your body
Don’t ask us for mercy we don’t know what it means
The closest friend I got is my m-16
We like to have fun we love to go berserk
Murder rape and pillage hey it’s all in a days work

Warlords join us or we’ll blow you away

A trail of victims a legacy of blood
We left the competition bleeding in the mud
We got the numbers we got the guns
And if you got more than us we know enough to run

Warlords join us or we’ll blow you away

"Watch Your Back"
(originally by Cock Sparrer)

"Watch Your Back"
(originally by Cock Sparrer)



Everybody's talking about revolution and
Everybody's talking about smashing the state.
Sounds to me like the final solution
Left wing, right wing, full of hate

We Don't Wanna Fight, because you tell us to.
Watch your back when you attack,
Well we might just turn on you.

Things get worse with every hour
The future fades into the past
All they want is total power,
Climbing on the backs of the working class.

We Don't wanna fight, because you tell us to.
Watch your back when you attack,
Well we might just turn on you. [x2]

We don't wanna be part of no new religion,
We don't wanna be part of a political dream,
we just wanna get on living our lives.

We Don't wanna fight, because you tell us to.
Watch your back when you attack,
Well we might just turn on you. [x2]

"We Got The Power"

"We Got The Power"



Yeah, we got the power, let's do it tonight! (The power, tonight)
We got a cause and we know that it's right. (A cause to fight)
Yeah, we got the numbers, let's do it tonight! (The numbers, alright!)
Yeah, we got the power, got the power tonight!
We got the power tonight!

19 men were tried and fired, August 26th through 29th
For violation of rule 35
The forbidden right to organize
They suffered the loss of their livelihood that night.
That night!

A city in terror on the thin blue line.
A thousand-plus walked off the job to support their brothers' cause,
The anti-union prohibition clause.
Demanded loyalty at any price
On the thin blue line.

"Wheel Of Misfortune"

"Wheel Of Misfortune"


Cowboys and coppers verse injuns and robbers,
take a guess for which side I was prone
Maniacal pleasures and a taste for misfortune,
the legacy for which I was known

[Chorus:]
Down and out, I scream and I shout.
For this man from whom I need my advice
If the price is your life son, you'd better think twice as you march to the front like a soldier

So you'd think I'd aspire for greatness, hell-Bent to make a name on my own
Genetically programmed for the Wheel of Misfortune, I'm an heir to an unwanted throne

[Chorus]

Now they've all got their theories,
opinions and such about this man who is down on his luck
Well the offers are plenty,
my options are many, still I opt to face my problems alone.

"Which Side Are You On?"

"Which Side Are You On?"



Our father was a union man some day I'll be one too.
The bosses fired daddy what's our family gonna do?
Come all you good workers good news to you I'll tell
Of how the good old union has come in here to dwell.

Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?

My daddy was miner and I'm a miner's son
and I'll stick with the union 'til every battles done.

Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?

They say in Harlan County there are no neutrals there
you'll either be a union man or a thug for J.H. Blair

Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?

Oh workers can you stand it? Oh tell me how you can
Will you be a lousy scab or will you be a man?

Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?

Don't scab for the bosses don't listen to their lies
Us poor folks haven't got a chance unless we organize.

Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?

(originally by Adolescents)

"Who Is Who"
(originally by Adolescents)



My friends call me enemy cause they're a fucking joke
They'd better get their shit together it's time that they awoke
I'm cast out by my relatives cause they don't want me around
I just sit in a corner and I don't make a sound - Not one word

The walls are closing in on me
I don't know what to do
Tell me who is who
Tell me who is who
Tell me who is who

Policemen are my friends so why do they always stare
Raid our clubs bust out parties condemned for short hair
Teachers are my friends so why do they make me stand
In front of a class of gawking fools who'll never understand - They never understand

The world around me falls apart
I don't know what to do
Please tell me who is who
Tell me who is who
Tell me who is who

The world around me falls apart
I don't know what to do
Please tell me who is who
Tell me who is who
Tell me who is who

Tell me who is who
Tell me who is who
Tell me who is who
