"Hooligans"

"Hooligans"


(Rancid?... Jah love...)

Yeah!
Here's the new face of rock-n'-roll!
It's about fightin' toe to toe...
Hard times come,
Yeah the hard times go.
When I say, come one, come all.

Well all the hooligans and rude boys know one thing for sure,
Scars been stricken on their face
Well all the hooligans and rude boys know one thing for sure,
Scars been stricken on their face

One man's decision brings another's opposition completely unbound.
Down on the flats where the seaside meets my lonely youngtown
Well all the rudies and skins well they're out on the streets making the way on the dole,
between the bottles and sex they smash and they wreck for something to live

Well all the hooligans and rude boys know one thing for sure,
scars been stricken on their face.Well all the hooligans and rude boys know one thing for sure,
scars been stricken on their face.
Sometimes you know there's no place to go,
But to a long life of crime.

Yeah but it's so wrong to steal,
Someone's very last meal to profit up a dime.
Your poe poes and greys well they end up in jail gonna swing the cowboys
Well you took a bite outta the apple of decision that got ya there boy.

Well all the hooligans and rude boys know one thing for sure,
Scars been stricken on their face
Well all the hooligans and rude boys know one thing for sure,
Scars been stricken on their face

Hooligans and rude boys, I don't want no racial hatred

"Black and white, who are portrayed without bias
These are the people whose voice I want to be..."

I said the hooligans!
Rancid
rude boys!
Rancid
Hooligans!
Rancid
rude boys!
Rancid

Well all the hooligans and rude boys know one thing for sure,
Scars been stricken on their face
Well all the hooligans and rude boys know one thing for sure,
Ahhh ahhhh ahhhhhh...

"Hoover Street"

"Hoover Street"


She's a Salvador immigrant, head through a thin wall
A frail hooker, holding her carnal walls
Gleaming sky scraper bunker he looked down
Laugh hysterically and then he spread around

On Hoover Street, then he must be alone
The precious little, the kid cashed/cast the woes
Of a ? girl she kind of made you spill
Her brother Mario got shot 4 times in da head

Now see poor Mario, he caught a hot one
Through the lung, now he's done so God bless the man
And the cocaine moves too fast through their system
Like a river forever winding
To the last party of the under/loner class

? distance just a bunch of kids who don't wanna finish last
Now see the market place has changed the weight of the scale
You either get out and die or go to jail
And your best intentions splinter and frail/fail
And a few weeks of promises and attempts fail

It's a glass-pipe murder
Glass-pipe murder
Oh yeah

Glass-pipe murder
It's a glass-pipe murder
Oh yeah!!!

(Oh yeah!!!)
(Oh yeah!!!)
(Oh yeah!!!)

They kick a bottle of beer and a letter
Simple (sip of?) things made Mario feel better
You see it falls on you and it falls on me
Self-annihilation, catastrophe

Two packs of cigarettes
For two dollars and seventy cents and a
Bottle of wine that's been opened
And he said, "Why do I do this?"

A shiver through his body like a bottle of CC
Not encouraging reality or me
He said, "It's who I am baby, back to it."
Off the deep end the record changed

You see, no one stood up and cheered for him
Everyone sat down with something that happened
Began... to happen
It's an old school dorm mystery
And the handcuffs bleed...

It's a glass-pipe murder
Glass-pipe murder
Oh yeah

Glass-pipe murder
It's a glass-pipe murder
Oh yeah!!!

(Oh yeah!!!)
(Oh yeah!!!)
(Oh yeah!!!)

Who was the killer?... it's in the...

"I Ain't Worried"

"I Ain't Worried"


I ain't worried about a god damn thing
I hear them talking. I ain't listening
Listening

How many times did you tell me I was wrong
But I didn't listen to you and I only stayed strong
In a world where people don't hang on too long
I belong - I belong
Prove me wrong - Prove me wrong

I ain't worried about a god damn thing
I hear them talking. I ain't listening
Listening

Out come the wolves in the lunar light
Final flight you're wrong, I'm right
Talk to me straight man, but be polite
You hear my scream cause this one bites

I ain't worried about a god damn thing
I hear them talking. I ain't listening
Listening

I'm Matt Freeman I'm coming in quick
I got a 64 Merc and a clutch that won't slip
I don't give a god damn what they say
I'm born and raised in the east bay

I ain't worried about a god damn thing
I hear them talking. I ain't listening
Listening

I take chances that most won't take - Right
I get knocked down I won't break
Get it clear and make no mistake
This town's filled with rattlesnakes

Black Brown White we're all punk rock
We're the kings of the low income block
Worn out sneakers skinheads mohawk
When we all get together yeh the music won't stop

I ain't worried about a god damn thing
I hear them talking. I ain't listening

"I Am Forever"

"I Am Forever"


I am forever is what he said
Lost in a dream he never had
Doors bust open doors slam shut
The key to change is time
He said, my dear mother I let you down
No-one want to be a burden on a loved one
Doors bust open doors slam shut
The key to change is time
Riding the freight train all the while
Your building the fucking tracks
Doors bust open doors slam shut
The key to change is time
Doors bust open doors slam shut
The key to change is time

"I Am The One"

"I Am The One"


I'm the one who got a religion
I'm the one who couldn't take my knife
I'm the one who got a religion
I'm the one who couldn't take my knife
I'm the one who got a religion
I'm the one who couldn't take my knife
I'm the one who got a religion
I'm the one who couldn't take my knife

Hey hey hey, Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey, Hey hey hey

Are you gonna be ready to use it
If you hesitate they'll pursue it
Put the gun to the dome no question
Now the holy ghost in queston

what about the banks
When they say go
Standing at the top and can't let go
Standin' can't take can't take that time
When i try sometime i can't stay high

I'm the one who got a religion
I'm the one who couldn't take my knife
I'm the one who got a religion
I'm the one, I can't turn it off

Are you gonna be ready to use it
If you hesitate they'll pursue it
Good and evil came from above
Death peace eternal love

Bleeding at the gates and i can't come in
Courage that abates a life of sin
Sure that it holds and it holds no others
With the lies of the brave and the kid don't matter

I'm the one who got a religion
I'm the one who couldn't take my knife
I'm the one who got a religion
I'm the one who couldn't take my knife

Hey hey hey, Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey, Hey hey hey

Yea, I'm the one, Yea

I'm the one who got a religion
I'm the one who couldn't take my knife
I'm the one who got a religion
I'm the one who couldn't take my knife

Hey hey hey, Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey, Hey hey hey

"I Kept A Promise"

"I Kept A Promise"


I kept a promise
I kept a promise
I kept a promise to you

Come closer, my young more
You're a social punk, fella
You're a fisherman in contaminated beach front water
Your mind's in doubt, fella
And your five foot misses is not forgotten
But your right foot forward, put your left hand back
And ya fight for your life

I kept a promise
I kept a promise
I kept a promise to you

After the show in Perrington Hall
We shot a bottle, let me drink it all
On the roof he looked, add to my dreams and tomorrow
You told him what you really thought that night
That music is a gift and it's everything that's right
I promise that I'll always keep it in my sights
And I will always fight for our lives

I kept a promise
I kept a promise
I kept a promise to you

Just another day, so like that
We go away to cut stuff
To the spot where the dealer here promenades
You see
Turn your lamp down, we alone
And I'll always remember you, my brother
But I'll write for the four, and my left heel back
And we will always fight for our lives

I kept a promise
I kept a promise
I kept a promise to you

I kept a promise
I kept a promise
I kept a promise to you

I kept a promise
I kept a promise
I kept a promise to you

I kept a promise to you

"I'm Not The Only One"

"I'm Not The Only One"


She's got her life going she is still breathing
It's not a proven fact it's just a feeling
Her old man doesn't own her like he did before
He once was so clear but now he's a blur
I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO'S NOT AFRAID OF YOU
The homeless child is no roll she played
It is real as anything the system has made
She's a monument forever standing
Inner city exposure can be extremely demanding
The pattern is circular as we pass the wine
She could no longer live with the lying
Her family tried to control her feelings
It just gave her new life a deeper meaning
Either you shut up or you shut down
I'm not the only one
you motherfucker
I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO'S NOT AFRAID OF YOU

"Idle Hands"

"Idle Hands"


Chaos discontent I'm a lunatic
Thirty days in the street is how I'm doing it
A life of no money a quart of Cisco
The horses are loose I got mine let's go
The enemy would not expect an attack at this hour
The moon is a sliver the darkness gives me power
Come and find me I'm gonna be here
Come and find me I like it
Spent some time in a shelter down on Webster
you think I'm going back you must be joking
If I ever forget how bad it was to be homeless
I must still be high from the dope I was smoking
LAST NIGHT I WAS THINKING
EARLY MORNING DRINKING
THE DEVIL'S GOT WORK FOR
IDLE HANDS
Spent some time in a shelter down on Webster
you think I'm going back you must be joking
If I ever forget how bad it was to be homeless
I must still be high from the dope I was smoking
LAST NIGHT IW WAS THINKING
EARLY MORNING DRINKING
THE DEVIL'S GOT WORK FOR
IDLE HANDS

"In The Streets"

"In The Streets"


Kristine with the wild grin, in the future with the world to end
You'll leave my heart broken then, one thousand times again
Kristine with the wild grin, in the future with the world to end
You'll leave my heart broken then, one thousand times again

The cops will come out when the sun goes down
From dawn to dusk while we give up the town
With the closest walk, they don't make a sound
Got the baddest of the bad aren't coming around

The street is wicked and it's wild and it's free
[?] fucker heresy
You don't, hit the top, man, where you want to be
It's a long way to go and it's a one way street

Kristine with the wild grin, in the future with the world to end
You'll leave my heart broken then, one thousand times again

You ain't got nothing when you born to lose
Your heart filled up with the filth and the booze
Standing on the street corner singing the blues
The end of the world is the popular tune

The city's hot but you cooled it off
The city block is another war zone
The city kids ain't got no home
Hit me a brick and we'll all get stoned

Kristine with the wild grin, in the future with the world to end
You'll leave my heart broken then, one thousand times again
Kristine with the wild grin, in the future with the world to end
You'll leave my heart broken then, one thousand times again

In the streets you're never alone
In the streets you're never alone
In the streets you're never alone
In the streets you're never alone
