"Ghetto Box"

"Ghetto Box"


Ghetto box talkin' (time for the back streets)
Cocaine's rockin' (time for the back streets)
And I'm not finished talkin' (time for the back streets)
And the PUNX say stop it (time for the back streets)

Let go of my hand
I don't understand
Street lights comin' through
Time for the back streets with you!

Cadallic rollin' (time for the back streets)
Police are patrolin' (time for the back streets)
? (Time for the back streets)
Mississippi highway (time for the back streets)

? with a K-9 unit
Nazi cops fuck you!
Time for the backstreets with you.

Ghetto Box talkin' (time for the backstreets)
Cocaine's rockin' (time for the backstreets)
And the four were stalkin' (time for the backstreets)
And the PUNX say stop it!!! (time for the back streets)

Let go of my hand
I don't understand
Street lights comin' through
Time for the back streets with you!

"Ghost Band"

"Ghost Band"


Woooooooooh
Ghost band, ghost band,
There's a ghost band, girl, playing our songs now,
Ghost band, ghost band,
There's a ghost band, girl, playing our song

And they knew all the lyrics by heart, now,
And they play in the perfect key,
And their tombstones are silhouetted,
And the band I can barely see,
Well our spirit fades, hard and cheated,
When the funeral's over, I can't leave it,
Everyone's going home, I'm defeated.

Woooooooooh
Ghost band, ghost band,
There's a ghost band, girl, playing our songs now,
Ghost band, ghost band,
There's a ghost band, girl, playing our song

And the energy's so overwhelming,
And the echo from the crowd is deafening,
And the music conveyed is convincing,
And the world doesn't seem so daunting,
And the shimmer of light tells you secrets,
In the moon, the silhouettes in an instance,
And we are seen in perfect cadence.

Woooooooooh
Ghost band, ghost band,
There's a ghost band, girl, playing our songs now,
Ghost band, ghost band,
There's a ghost band, girl, playing our song

"Ghost Of A Chance"

"Ghost Of A Chance"


Well, these walls are just high enough to keep you locked in
Locked in for a lifetime
Well, you're one lousy step from not makin' it
You only got a ghost of a chance, my brother
You only got a ghost of a chance

Well, maybe someday we'll get a new start
You never grow too old to dream
Save the sermon for Sunday 'cause we'll be back one day
You only got a ghost of a chance, my brother
You only got a ghost of a chance

Well, follow your instincts always
Don't ever doubt yourself
When the odds are small, don't let 'em stop ya
'Cause we only got a ghost of a chance, my brother
We only got a ghost of a chance
We only got a ghost of a chance, my brother
We only got a ghost of a chance

"Go On Rise Up"

"Go On Rise Up"


(Go on rise up)
Into the hemisphere
(Go on rise up)
Tonight let's just make one thing clear

Everything is whacked out of line
You bettin' the action I just can't find

(Go on rise up)
Into the midnight blue
(Go on rise up)
'Cause tonight it's just me and you

This world is special
I just wanna hold you
The frequency is there
I just wanna show you

(Go on rise up)
Into the hemisphere
(Go on rise up)
'Cause tonight let's make one thing clear

(Go on rise up)
Into the hemisphere
(Go on rise up)
'Cause tonight let's just make one thing clear
(Go on rise up)
Into the midnight blue
(Go on rise up)
'Cause tonight it's just me and you!

Go on rise up, go on rise up, go on rise up, go on rise up
Go on rise up, go on rise up, go on rise up, go on rise up
Go on rise up, go on rise up, go on rise up, go on rise up

Go on rise up, go on rise up, go on rise up, c'mon!

"Golden Gate Fields"

"Golden Gate Fields"


This is not Churchhill downs this is not Hollywood Park
When the field is wide open
I'll pick the horse that's got the biggest heart
Let em run let em ride let em roll down the track
Let em win place and show
Let em one dollar exact
Six furlongs four phillys
Three mares three years and up
Who measures up
Well I wish you luck
Who measures up
Well I wish you luck
This is not Churchhill downs this is not Hollywood Park
When the field is wide open
I'll pick the horse that's got the biggest heart
Well they rush the windows and play odds on fave
(But the)My starter in 2nd deuces down a bit of give and take
Race is a puzzler when they open from the outside
It's a hit and run and they look back
You can't count on that
That's a fact
The old men from El Cerrito
Who talk about their picks
And they talk about all the wins of the great jock leftgit Pincay
This is not Churchhill downs this is not Hollywood Park
When the field is wide open
I'll pick the horse that's got the biggest heart
Every time i come back to the east bay i run into "big L"
My old friend Big L he's not doing so well
Me and Big L grew up across the freeway from the track
WE spent may days at the track
I see Big L come rollin up the street
On his little sister's pink ten speed
He said "Tim, Tim don't you remember me?"
"way back from 1973?"
Every time i se him he has to remind me
Like i would ever forget Big L
Then he's gone
Like a flash
Then he's gone
Like a flash
yeah like a flash
Ok this is rancid signing off for now
until next time we'll see you guys later...

"Grave Digger"

"Grave Digger"


Grave digger, digging all the way down
Grave digger, digging all the way down
Grave digger, digging all the way down
Digging all way down to the underground
Digging all way down to the underground

Well you're born into money with your legacy out
You move through the darkness with no sense of sound
When your body feels alive when you sleep under the soul
You wake up your heart aches your black in your hole

Grave digger, digging all the way down
Grave digger, digging all the way down
Grave digger, digging all the way down
Digging all way down to the underground
Digging all way down to the underground

Well you prey on the weak who are trying to survive
You jump on the backbone that's keeping you alive
Well you're the master of your destiny, the [?] blitz of light
[?] in your veins and malice in your eyes

Grave digger, digging all the way down
Grave digger, digging all the way down
Grave digger, digging all the way down
Digging all way down to the underground
Digging all way down to the underground

You prey on the weak who try to survive

Grave digger, digging all the way down
Grave digger, digging all the way down
Grave digger, digging all the way down
Grave digger, digging all the way down

Grave digger, digging all the way down
Grave digger, digging all the way down
Grave digger, digging all the way down
Digging all way down to the underground

"Gunshot"

"Gunshot"


Everybody wants to come down
but no one wants to pay
I try to show 'em
but they do anyway

I was "nock shock nock nock down" to my knees
Same thing for my duty quiz

Gunshot! Gunshot! Gunshot through my heart

Sometimes there are guys
who can deal with me
Everything's imperive
but I don't fucking need

I know where you are but I don't care
I thought I'd use my "no decision"
Gunshot!
Gunshot!
Gunshot through my heart

Gunshoooooooooooot!
Gunshoooooooooooot!
Gunshoooooooooooot!
Gunshoooooooooooot!

Gunshot!
Gunshot!
Gunshot through my heart
Gunshot!
Gunshot!
Gunshot through my heart

"Harry Bridges"

"Harry Bridges"


Bloody thursday was July 5th
The pigs killed 3 workers harry bridges grabbed the mic
The city shut down July 5th the workers outrage it was a general strike
The media clamed that the commies were taking over
And some believed it was true
3 uncompremising strikes was paved the way
Minn Sf and Toledo

Over and over again the doors are locked
And the windows are broken

Eddie worked for general motors and he swore
That he'd never lose his job again
A union man who owned his own home
In beautiful flint michigan

Eddie lost his job and eddie lost his wife
So eddie lost his self esteme
The last time i saw eddie
He was living in the trailer park again

Over and over again the doors are locked
And the windows are broken

I believe eddie for gave too much too soon
I got a letter from eddie and it was bad news

Over and over again the doors are locked
And the windows are broken

"Holiday Sunrise"

"Holiday Sunrise"


so i packed everything i owned
midnight christmas eve
a kid could feel alone
i drink my scotch
my mind goes astray
midnight christmas eve
starts out in a way
i cried when i had no shoes
'til i met the man with no feet

it's just a
holiday sunrise
i suddenly realized
i got no alibis
holiday sunrise

relatives of mine said
they were born again
fucked up world has made me born against
i'm a sinner and my soul should be cleansed
i'll take my chances when i'm dead

"Honor Is All We Know"

"Honor Is All We Know"


Don’t change a goddamn thing, hold your head up high
When the hard times come, we have the strength to defy
Believe in yourself, let the arrow leave the bow
Honor is among us, honor is all we know

The night has come and we no longer see
Better days around the corner, for you and me
Receive the horizon dawn’s golden glow
Honor is among us, honor is all we know

It takes courage to make it in this land
So don’t forget, but forgive every man
And prosperity’s river it will forever flow
Honor is among us, honor is all we know
