"Union Blood (Untitled)"

"Union Blood (Untitled)"


Bloody thursday was july 6th
the pigs killed 3 workers
harry bridges grabbed the mic
The city shut down july 6th
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 paved the way Minn, Sf, and Toledo

Blood on the situation
Blood on the street sometimes
You're gonna hit the cold concrete

"Unwritten Rules"

"Unwritten Rules"


kick the kick drum increase the weight of the sound
the dialog of maximum decibles is enough to move the fucking ground
i'm gonna amplify the rage of a class
that's thought inferior the message in the volume
this song a carrier

unwritten rules
rules understood
unwritten rules

boomin' out the speakers and amps in the hood
i like to drink beer play music and go to shows
it's not about paying your dues if you do it out of love
i'm not a jaded junkie running dry
i don't know anything else
i'll be playing till i die

"Up To No Good"

"Up To No Good"


1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8

NO one is safe here
We're all in danger
through the corridor
I see a stranger
Robbin and Ransacking
I see him walking
Lock your doors now
I hear him knocking

Up to no good
Up to no good
Like a spark on a wire
or a splinter in wood
best intentions get misunderstood
but that motherfucker is
Up to no good [x6]

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8

Quick like a snake
He's good at stealing
He'll even steal the plaster
off the ceiling
Cloaked in darkness
I see him standing
Making moves in the night
He's a ghost man

Up to no good
Up to no good
Like a spark on a wire
or a splinter in wood
Best intentions get misunderstood
but that motherfucker is
Up to no good [x6]

Criminals I understand them
Watch your back
Cause we'll come at random
Born to lose
And you end up in the system
He's our friend
Now we're gonna miss him

Up to no good
Up to no good
Like a spark on a wire
or a splinter in wood
best intentions get misunderstood
but that motherfucker is
Up to no good [x8]

"Warsaw"

"Warsaw"


(That is the vision of the anarchist... it is also a boy's dream)

True to Warsaw, glad we did it
Beat him down with a baseball bat
Police retreated with riot sheilds in fear of a baseball bat
Working class intellectuals, disillusion you for sure
Broken dreams in warsaw, with our baseball bat

American baseball bat!
Demolish the discotheque!
And how many blows to his forearm and neck
'Til he lay in the schoolyard, bludgeoned to death!

December 13, 1981, who remembers a loaded gun?
Who remembers the first morning of martial law?
Hey, you should bring that Louisville
Yeah man, you know where
Yeah man, our economic hardships in Warsaw

American baseball bat!
Demolish the discotheque!
And how many blows to his forearm and neck
'Til he lay in the schoolyard, bludgeoned to death!

Hey! All alone, bludgeoned to death!

"We Arrived Right On Time"

"We Arrived Right On Time"


We arrived right on time
We arrived right on time
Right on time

Oh, a punch drunk fella wears a crown of thorns
An angel met under closed off fort
And April 6th can never be brought
And a handsome fella can never be caught

Got to find a road where they really can scope
With a simmered sun and a hard sailing boat
And they just take, take a vampire's throat
We run and we pack, we run all night long

Broken jeans, it's a ghetto, a mosaic of molten steel
We arrived right on time
We arrived right on time
Right on time
C'mon
Broken jeans, it's a ghetto, a mosaic of molten steel
We arrived right on time
We arrived right on time
Right on time

"Where I'm Going"

"Where I'm Going"


Destruction is my state of mind
Armageddon It'll come in time
When my whole world is gonna explode
My machine gun is gonna unload
Like an animal I take my prey
Where I exist I'm okay
I take no prisoners when I'm on point
Grab a chair let's wreck this joint!

You see you don't understand where I am or where I've been, or where I'm going (where I'm going)
You don't understand where I am or where I've been, or where I'm..

Have you ever seen the devil?
Well I have and now he's in trouble
Our liberty and freedom I abet
Our words I will never regret
So I ain't ever gonna follow
Or beg or steal or borrow
See steady as a hand I hold
I won't do what I am told

You see you don't understand where I am or where I've been, or where I'm going (where I'm going)
You don't understand where I am or where I've been, or where I'm..

Let's go!

Retaliation is my crime
Communication, a waste of time
Inebriation suits me fine
Incarcerate my own mind
When it all's just cost and concern
Knowing me you know I'm never gonna learn
Get in line cause it's your turn
Play with fire and you're gonna get burned

You see I don't understand where I am or where I've been, or where I'm going (where I'm going) no no!
You don't understand where I am or where I've been, or where I'm..

One more time!

You see I don't understand where I am or where I've been, or where I'm going (where I'm going) no no!
You don't understand where I am or where I've been, or where I'm going!

"Whirlwind"

"Whirlwind"


every city got an artery where the blood breaks down
an avenue or a boulevard and a boy who wears a crown
indigant live styles mplies simply lack of means
dogmatical authoritarians dictate the cities remains

a promise
to go to heaven wont put salvation in sight

Whirlwind is coming down on me

when the factory shut down so did the place he lived
blood money for junk bonds by a white collar fugitive
all the tax free insentives ain't going to help him now
generations of job security gone out like the horse and plow

a promise
to go to heaven won't put salvation in sight

Whirlwind is coming down on me

my old man worked his troubled life in a nowhere dead end
he drank the pain away i'll be damned if that's me having my dreams robbed
the working class carries a country that has been rotting inside for years
the rigs cuffed my old man in the front yard i saw through my eyes of tears
a promise to go to heaven wont put salvation in sight

Whirlwind is coming down on me

"Who Would've Thought"

"Who Would've Thought"


Who would've thought that the dreams come true?
And who would've thought I ended up with you?
And who would've thought what they said was true?
But it was and you are, light in darkness come through

Silhouetted palm trees backing it up against the sky
Echo Park sunset, an ambulance drives by
But someone went down
And I wonder who
Faces flash forward, it could be anybody I knew

So I drank like a fish and I crawled like a rat
Through the city of shit I ended up on my back
But I can't believe you're with me after dark
So let it come together in Echo Park

And I say
Who would've thought that the dreams come true?
And who would've thought I ended up with you?
And who would've thought what they said was true?
But it was and you are, light in darkness come through

A red flag and your body wins
Or a snake bite, gotta start again
So I'm fucked up and watching TV all day
I don't wanna see what Ricki Lake gotta say

And it hits me when I'm alone, I'm an angry man
I start singing to myself I got dealt a shitty hand
With all these feelings my heart could explode
So is it not fear, knowing it all

And I say
Who would've thought that the dreams come true?
And who would've thought I ended up with you?
And who would've thought what they said was true?
It was and you are, light in darkness come through

Nah nah nah nah nah

Who would've thought that the dreams come true?
And who would've thought I ended up with you?
And who would've thought what they said was true?
But it was and you are, light in darkness come through

"Wrongful Suspicion"

"Wrongful Suspicion"


All right this one goes out to all our friends in New York:
H2O, The Slackers, Stubborn All Stars
Must respect
Hey Tim take it away my man.

Well I heard they fly a confederate flag
Down at the state house
Got a gun to my head from the hand of a man
Down at the state house
Well I reach for a dollar in the hole in my pocket
Down at the state house
They said I got some rights and I really shouldn't knock it
Down at the state house

What can we do? [x7]

Broken bones, broken rules
They can all be fixed (oh yeah)
So let those who battle with the pen
And the others with the fist (its the gospel now)
The strong ones will be defiant with words that can convince
You can take this as rules but I'll take it as a dis

Yeah!!!

Well they wanna hold me with wrongful suspicion
Down at the state house
And I'm all bundled up in an awkward position
Down at the state house
And they say its all part of a hundred year tradition
Down at the state house
And I do feel they got a mental condition
Down at the state house

What can we do? [x7]

Hey gettin' crazy watch me
Was it you all along working for the CIA?
Iran contra Panama
American casket parlet (work it now, work it)
Visions of light yes, visions of death no, visions gone astray (oh yeah)
Jump on that DC-10 my man oh and you fly away

Ignore the weak ignore the poor
Down at the state house
They got a real good position for me on the floor... hell no
Down at the state house
They said your gonna make a real real nice world
Down at the state house
But they do not know the law not no at all
Down at the state house

What can we do? [x7]

All right this one goes out to Sick Of It All,
Agnostic Front, Crown of Thornz, Dgeneration,
DJ Ansen, Dave Hillyard and the Rocksteady Seven,
Simon and the Bar Sinisters, Nine Lives,
Chrisipline and his new band Under The Gun, Madball,
Marky Ramone and the Intruders.
Hey Marky go get your fuckin' shine box

"You Don't Care Nothin'"

"You Don't Care Nothin'"


A cat lies awake when it sleeps
was she conscious of her own miseries
will the amount of her pain
win her to enlightenment and set conscience free

do you really wanna know what's happenin'
do you really wanna know what's goin' on
hey girl you better please take a look around
you better explore your heart and find out for yourself

Jenny Demilo you don't care nothin' about me

I never realy had a reason
never had a use for one before
but now I know that there's now a prize
but for the wise and the unwise

do you really wanna know what's happenin'
do you really wanna know what's goin' on
hey girl you better please take a look around you explore your heart
and find out for yourself

Jenny Demilo you don't care nothin' about me
