"Outta My Mind"

"Outta My Mind"


you're working like a monkey
who's been training by a sick junkie
on a mission to get money
for a new suit and tie

to wear to a reception
where they envy your deception
and give complements and praises to the ones they despite

practicing your smile in the mirror all the while
try to cultivate the style of the bastards in power
i know what they're selling
cuz their nervous twitch is telling
you're coming off smelling like the pig of the hour

[repeat 2x.]
i got a lot of people telling me i'm outta my mind
and i don't know why

my brain was bleeding and my fingers were proceding
through a notebook i was keeping since the dawning of time
senses were coroaded
you know that i was loaded
you were dealing i was reeling
from the feeling and the madness was consealing
it's a siren song
people that i trusted would surley have me busted
if they ever had a clue what was really going on

[repeat 2x.]
i got a lot of people telling me i'm out of my mind
and i don't know why (i don't know why...let's go)

"Poison"

"Poison"


Like Chaucer's
Canterbury tales
When three men find a pot of gold
and end up killing one another in the name of greed
Some people are poison
Under my skin like opium
And I'll stare in their eye to annoy them
Yeah there poison
Admissions of liabilities
I'm living in my own private cold war
In a room full of spies and I cannot find the door
Some people are poison
Under my skin like opium
And I'll stare in their eye to annoy them
Yeah they're poison
The violent aspects of a tattered man
Let me respond to that if I can
Illuminated Manuscripts written by hand
Accusations have been made form the very beginning
Some people are poison
Under my skin like opium
And I'll stare in their eye to annoy them
Yeah they're Fucking Poison!

"Radio"

"Radio"


Never fell in love
until i fell in love with you
Never know what a good time was until i had a good time with you
If you wanna get the feeling and you wanna get it right
Then the music gotta be loud
for when the music hit i feel no pain at all

Warm summer night i was drinking with my dad
He tried to give me the love that i never had
But he gave more love to his bottle of wine
So i had to go out and find love of another kind

Here it is
Here i am
Turn it up
fuckin' loud

Radio, Radio, Radio...

When i got the music
i got a place to go

Radio clash
magnificent 7
I was a choir boy
you showed me no heaven
Two tools surley lost
no remorse ignoring the cost

Here it is
Here i am
Turn it up
fuckin' loud

Radio, Radio, Radio...

When i got the music
i got a place to go

"Radio Havana"


El Diablo is like a soundtrack
All concurrent playback

It's a sad song

"Raise Your Fist"

"Raise Your Fist"


Raise your fist (raise your fist)
Against the power (raise your fist)
Oppress the power that exists
Raise your fist (raise your fist)
Against the power (raise your fist)
Oh the power that exists

In the land of freedom, I will make a clean
Forth rack on production [?] this is all insane
Heart of the heartland or they stream the blood
Where invisibly, for one thousand and third

Raise your fist (raise your fist)
Against the power (raise your fist)
Oppress the power that exists
Raise your fist (raise your fist)
Against the power (raise your fist)
Oh the power that exists

No alliance, sure no cross to bear
No crack to follow, no police to share
Apathetic revolution, people go put to sleep
As the people are wake up they'll be rioting the streets

Raise your fist (raise your fist)
Against the power (raise your fist)
Oppress the power that exists
Raise your fist (raise your fist)
Against the power (raise your fist)
Oh the power that exists

"Rattlesnake"

"Rattlesnake"


For weeks your falling, that's my darling
Hear them calling drawing you back
Sawing you in two, using me, using you
What can you do?
Watch out Mack, here's a rat
Falling off the track, fade out black
Black in feedback, hit the flashback
Don't you know we hate that?
Your a rattlesnake
And your full of shit
Your a rattlesnake
Your a rattlesnake
Fuck that shit, I don't wanna hear it
You can't bare it when we blare it
I hate your band, you understand?
You got no passion, it's all fashion
Well you come you can, come come true
Calm down, flames red or blue
You don't know, you got no clue
I see through
Your a rattlesnake
And your full of shit
I fuckin hate you
Your a rattlesnake
You talk that shit about our crew, we hate you
You said you know us, we don't know you
You Jump on the next bandwagon

And your full of shit

"Reconciliation"

"Reconciliation"


Spread out like a million locusts covering the sun
Protagonists and infidels gonna speak out on the run
Deep rooted back and fourth
Failed from both sides
Triggered a sudden Excitement into the battle night
Reconciliation in what they already knew
Humanities lost when the power's vested in a few
Shadow of island cloud the symbol of change
Nelson spent 19 years on robin island estranged
I hear a voice in Cape Town, on Bohemian long St.
Listen closely, yeah listen closely
Reconciliation in what they already knew
Humanities lost when the power's vested in a few

"Red Hot Moon"

"Red Hot Moon"


Under a red hot moon, take a bus downtown to the Grave yard shift tonight
Under a red hot moon, take a bus downtown to the Grave yard shift tonight

KC’s from Cali, California.
She's got a reputation that she didn't ask for.
She’s waiting for an escape now, escape is called the 164.
Now, KC, she won’t admit when she’s wrong,
now KC, she’s always run, run, run.
She’s a punk rocker, she don’t trust no one
on a south end bus all alone.

Under a red hot moon, take a bus downtown to the Grave yard shift tonight
Under a red hot moon, take a bus downtown to the Grave yard shift tonight

KC was never caught up, like the rest of the rats in a fucking maze
“Check me out” she said, “I’m in a concrete jungle,
I’m an individual and you’re stuck in my waste”
Oh hell no, she knows what the truth is. Because she said so
She knows who her friends are so fuck you, don’t get no closer,
it’ll only make her run far away

Under a red hot moon, take a bus downtown to the Grave yard shift tonight
Under a red hot moon, take a bus downtown to the Grave yard shift tonight

I know KC’s brother pretty well, lets say
we spent a lot of time hanging out
I always thought for he said that she’d be the one to get out of here
and make a life fore herself
but when we found her in the little league park,
in the dugout it was cold in the dark.
No one knew why she wouldn’t wake up,
I think she finally made it back home.

Under a red hot moon, take a bus downtown to the Grave yard shift tonight
Under a red hot moon, take a bus downtown to the Grave yard shift tonight

[Rap verse by Rob Aston]
One time for your mind, two times for your soul three for the graveyard and the money I fold.
Dimmed out in the city where the sun burns slow, no hope it’s a pity I can’t say no.
It’s not my time to go, it’s not my time to die,
the last thing I wants for my mother to cry
It was love at first light, since the very first night,
things have never been the same since I took my first flight.
The way I live my life, I love; I live lavish, lost me from the start.
You lose, you’ll never have it! Untouched, unleashed, back up you don’t want it.
Stick him for his cash. It’s back, now he’s fronting.
Take two pass, I’ll take to blast.
Bust a mother fucker; I’m out on the flash. Pimped out, high as fuck.
I’m out of control. Let's bounce, rock, skate, Man I'm ready to roll.

Under the red hot moon.
Under the red hot moon.
Under the red hot moon.

"Rejected"

"Rejected"


i could not fit in
i was the one who got caught
i was the one who got realized
i was the one who got dropped
shut out banished and locked away
the knife that did me in i was carry to this day

rejected
crossing the bridges in the land of the forgotten
rejected

distrust existed that i never saw
deep seated trust i was a victim of

rejected...

unspoken among the more priveliged or the so called
i was not good enough not good enough at all
at first out of lonliness i tried to conform
but all that bullshit just left me alone
