"Lady Liberty"

"Lady Liberty"


I want nothing to do with your crazy world
Broken promises, just poor annoyances
I am branded by that time, all abandoned and alone
From the contras to the upstarts to shouting Sandanista

Lady Liberty, come down and bleed on me
You had me to believe that the streets are paved in gold
Storming (terrorists?), then the cold hits
Then I come to find that the streets aren't paved at all
From the contras to the upstarts to shoutin Sandanista
From the contras to the upstarts to shoutin Sandanista

From the Kremlin to Afghanistan to the forgotten ones
The orphans in confusion, to distraught refugees
In the fields of poison ivy, through the famine and disease
You bled my loyalty

Lady Liberty, come down and bleed on me
You had me to believe that the streets are paved in gold
Ohh you tell me, not to worry
About the shortcomings of lives and the high cost of living
From the contras to the upstarts to shoutin Sandanistas
From the contras to the upstarts to shoutin Sandanistas

Shoutin Sandinista!!!

"Last One To Die"

"Last One To Die"


Everybody saying we gotta take a chance
And telling me what the hell went wrong
We only listen to the words that we sing
Now a million are singing along

(Last one)
We got it right, you got wrong,
We’re still around (Last one to die)
We’re going up, you’re going down
We’re still around (Last one to die)

No rules in a
Scandalous world
... a path to find
We sit on top of the world
And we’re proving it every night

(Last one)
We got it right, you got wrong,
We’re still around (Last one to die)
We’re going up, you’re going down
We’re still around (Last one to die)

Thru the storm and the gigs
And the good and the bad
There ain't no doubt
We knew from the very first show, what it was all about

(Last one)
We got it right, you got wrong,
We’re still around (Last one to die)
We’re going up, you’re going down
We’re still around (Last one to die)

(Last one to die)
(Last one to die)
(Come on)
(Come on)
(Come on)
(Last one to die)
(Come on)
(Come on)
(Come on)

"Leicester Square"

"Leicester Square"


I got some hard times, two punks upon a subway
It's a long way to go to get to Leicester Square
A hard line - It's the one you gotta cross
The one you gotta cross, to get you anywhere

Michael's on his way to payback syndication
Of fisticuffs, retired (?) and his backstreet education
The 8-ball stops him low
Demonstrations show
It's crystal clear it ain't so great for those who become broken here yeah

I got none
I got no mind for... nothing
I got no insight, I got no feelings
I got nothing that you want, so stay away from here

The cocaines out, then is world goes (?) down, the prime objective: Fear
To rival forces from different times and places nowhere near
The tension begins to grow
His instincts tell him so
He (...?) yeah

I got none
I got no mind for... nothing
I got no insight, I got no feelings
I got nothing that you want, so stay away from here

Yeah!!!

Ah no no!!!
ah no!!!

I got some hard times, two punks upon a subway
It's a long way to go to get to Leicester Square
A hard line - It's the one you gotta cross
The one you gotta cross, to get you anywhere

Mike gets whipped, his bull-face slapped around a cheap cigar
His gang comes in cause they're always seeing the trouble from afar
He act so (....?)
(...) in and stalls
He makes his point then (???s) a joint in the backseat with a model, oh yeah

I got none
I got no mind for... nothing
I got no insight, I got no feelings
I got nothing that you want, so stay away from here

Yeah!!!

I got nothing that you want, so stay away from here

"Let Me Go"

"Let Me Go"


Ok check this out
It aint impossible, it aint easy
Opportunity shifting here
So far the strategy aint working the facts are in it's so very clear
I do what I want I can't predict the future
And those who can I know that they are lying
I know the truth can be hard to swallow
A soap opera world leaders are crying
Correction I need no direction
Oh let me go just one last time
I spend my whole life searching for direction
Oh let me go just one last time
You can burn a book if you don't like the answers
Or join forces with an AXL grind
USA protecting your cancers
A list if hatred is easy to find
Well there's a growing sentiment in America
If you listen closely you can hear them all
Right is right wrong is wrong and evil
Consider it bad behavior
Correction I need no direction
Oh let me go just one last time
I spend my whole life searching for direction
Oh let me go just one last time
Bad generation polarize view
No one leaves home to go and help you
Watch CNN and then you know
US bombs come down, what you gonna do
Boom boom boom look around
There's no more roof no more house, no street, no town, shot down
Burnt black and brown
electrical meltdown
You'll hear the sound of the U.S. bomb all around
Ah it's a shake down
It's a break down
Atomic shutdown
And then you know!!!!!!
Correction I need no direction
Oh let me go just one last time
I spend my whole life searching for direction
Oh let me go just one last time
Correction I need no direction
Oh let me go just one last time
I spend my whole life searching for direction
Oh let me go just one last time
One last time....

"Let's Go"

"Let's Go"


Jimmy said he could handle this
Ohhhh, he's from Los Angeles ohh!

Jimmy said he could handle this
Born and raised in West Los Angeles
Dad's a lawyer, Mummy's sleep,
runs down the family can't ya see,
One thing seems very clear
Daddy's got no connection here,
Everything's reject and demanded,
Lived your life and thought handled it
Let the dying shorten this Rythmmmm!!!

Let's Go! Where the shores are green
Let's Go! Where the music's loud
Let's Go! Where there ain't no problems, fuck this, fucking transit

I ain't forty, I like your stories
Keep them coming cause It's kind a boring
It ain't coming you have to find it
'Cause all of a sudden you got grounded
You didn't care, you just did
At the sign that said: "all beware",
In and Out and said: 'Oi, Tik, Tok',
I'm glad you got away of me
Let the dying shorten this Rythmmmm!!!

Let's Go! Where the shores are green
Let's Go! Where the Music's loud
Let's Go! Where there ain't no problems, fuck this, fucking transit

Yeah, yeah, yeah!!!
Yeah, yeah,yeah, yeah!! yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!

"Liberty And Freedom"

"Liberty And Freedom"


Out in the open
They ain't gonna hide
Police state upon us
Prepare to collide

They're gonna keep you down
step on your neck
Can't move no more
The weapon of their choosing
is censorship and war
And I can see the line up now
Everyone one is just partisan
You see one side claims victory
But it's just a zero sum

Liberty and Freedom
In quotations spray painted on the wall
Verbalized explosion
we will come back some day

If your ideas are suspect
Now your in contempt
Report to the committee
No one is exempt
And the zealots and crusaders
They can't justify with threats
and intimidation
Designed to terrify

Liberty and Freedom
In quotations spray painted on the wall
Verbalized explosion
we will come back some day [x2]

"Life Won't Wait"

"Life Won't Wait"


[Lars]
Teach the children and disciples to wage a brand of war
Religious and prestigious keep the quest for the holy grail
The eye atop the pyramid is open and awake
The pagans own the rituals and the quiet world begins to say

[Chorus:]
The vision is a new world order
The vision is a new world order
The vision is a new world order
Come along and tell your sister and your brother

[Tim]
The force of war, dynamite blast, writhes on the weak and the poor
Don't wanna see my brother in pain
When the little man fighting all big men's wars
Don't know nothing 'bout no red, white and blue
Little men bring the big man too
Too many win, nobody lose, it all comes down to what will they choose

[Chorus]

[Lars]
The conscience of the public can not be put to sleep
The conglomerate of the nations has no bounds in which they seek
Was it the mob tellin' the CIA to put us all in this state of fear
How many of us wish we were at Jeff Kennedy's hearing say

[Chorus]

[Buju]
See them try to rule the world
We don't know why
Why they want to rule the world
Cuya!
Only white men and black men's..? the white power ?
The guns of mass destruction, them fighting about
Buying the world is only so much money
Here they come to bring him down to his knees
World wide hunger ? one fear
Well gangster treaties who keep us in fear
How much more can our people bear?
Need no more division
Need no more pride and I
I will keep on fighting to keep what's mine
We the people speaking our mind
And once more, would you say it for me now?

[Tim]
Dynamite blast of the force of war
Government rides on the weak and poor
Don't want to see my brother in pain no more
When the little man fights all the big men's war

[Buju]
? victimize
Mental slavery with the clever disguise
Our prides on our people must rise
Decide your fate but
Life won't wait
Life won't wait
Oh, life won't wait

[Chorus x2]

"Listed M.I.A."

"Listed M.I.A."


God damn it man I almost had it
Stuck in the sewer beneath all the maggots
I ain't foolin' I've been pursuing a way to get out of these dirty old ruins

I'm checkin' out I'm never comin' back again
I'm checkin' out I'm listed M.I.A.

God damn it man I almost had
It threw me out the door and called me a faggot
I ain't done I've only yet begun
West Oakland is the place where I'm comin' from

God damn it
Man I almost had it
Well I did it again yeah I do it outta habit
Well I'm numb it ain't no fun I'm less than zero
When you add up the sum

I'm checkin' out yeah
It ain't no doubt yeah
A courtship built from anger is what it amounts
I almost had it I came so close
Man I almost had it I almost had it

"Lock, Step & Gone"

"Lock, Step & Gone"


The ending isn't here (there's somethin' wrong)
but it's comin'real soon (i lock step I'm gone)
i said the feeling isn't fear (there's something wrong)
it's just telling you to move (i lock step I'm gone)

there's a fire on the corner and it's never gonna stop
killer in the neighborhood never got caught
I lock up my door step out and I'm gone
waitin' for the buses but the buses won't come

all the docks are quiet (there's somethin' wrong)
and there's no ships comin' in (i lock step I'm gone)
where there once was a riot (there's somethin' wrong)
there's a whole lot of nothin' (lock step i'm gone)

the stop signs broken and the meters goin' down
wild dogs are runnin' themselves into the ground
everything was clear for that moment in time
if I don't come back well throw me a line

well the docks are quiet (there's somethin' wrong)
and there's no ships comin' in (i lock step i'm gone)
where there once was a riot (there's somethin' wrong)
there's a whole lot of nothin'.......

"Locomotive"

"Locomotive"


Locomotive won't stop
Locomotive ain't never gonna quit
Locomotive made of iron and steel
Locomotive I am you

From the East Bay garage
to the radio dial
We've been noted
for our combative style
You never give up
with no chance to win
We know who you are
And we've been where you've been

Locomotive won't stop
Locomotive ain't never gonna quit
Locomotive made of iron and steel
Locomotive I am you

The Wall Street Bailout
is crooked and stacked
The burdens gonna end up
on the working man's back
I know times are changing
and there's a new sound
I'm glad you all made it
It's good to have you around

Locomotive won't stop
Locomotive ain't never gonna quit
Locomotive made of iron and steel
Locomotive I am you

I am you
