Tracks



01. Thrashin Blues

They tore down the place where the buffalo roam
Gotta hit the streets and find a new home
A place to go thrash and tear out the walls
And just go through it like a wreckin' ball

I got the blues
Got the Thrashin Blues
I got the blues
Got the Thrashin Blues

Scammin' through the alley for a backstreet boogie
I'm lookin' for Wanda she a red hot cookie
She see me comin' ready to kick out the jams
Two minutes later doin' the pavement slam

I got the blues
Got the Thrashin Blues
I got the blues
Got the Thrashin Blues

When this is all over said and done
And everyone knows the thrashers won
Ya know there's one thing left to be said
Gonna bang my head 'til the day I'm dead

I got the blues
Got the Thrashin Blues
I got the blues
Got the Thrashin Blues

02. I Hate My Boss Blues

Get to work first thang in the mornin'
He's the first thing I see
Now I'm barely half way in the door
And already he's killin' me
"Bout to light a cigarette
For me he's got somethin' to do
Crackin' his whip at the break of dawn
Ya know it's nothing new

But the only thang keeps me goin'
Is this rotten job
Pick up the pace always somethin' to say
And I'm just givin' him the nod

I hate my boss
He makes goin' to work such a toal loss
I hate em a lil bit more every day
Wanna kick em in the face when I see my pay

He keeps my ass busy
From 7 to 5
Keeps workin' the shit outta me
But man I'm still alive
With break time comin' up pretty soon
I'm looking for somethin' to burn
Just a lil thang to ease the pain
Now I got a lil concern

Gotta break outta this rat race
And find a better way
But its pretty hard to find the time
With em standin' in my way

I hate my boss
He makes goin' to work such a total loss
I hate em a lil bit more every day
Wanna kick em in the face when I see my pay

Why's the boss man such a drag
Why can't he leave me be
If he keeps jumpin' on my back
He aint gonna be able to see
The way he just keeps pushin'
He's got me on the edge
And as for the rest of my co-workers
They wanna bust him in the head

But one thang he don't know
Is that I got the inside
And I can't wait to laugh in his face
Cause I been takin' him for a ride

I hate my boss
He makes goin' to work such a total loss
I hate em a lil bit more every day
Wanna kick em in the face when I see my pay

You can't fire me
'Cause I quit
Ohhhhh Fuck you brotha

03. Poverty Sucks

I don't mind the holes in my jeans
It's the holes in my pockets that get to me
And ya know ya never gotta choose
When you only got one pair of shoes
We live in the last house on the right
I know it ain't much but it's all right
Don't mind walkin' cause it aint' too far
It'd sure be nice if I had a car

Poverty Sucks
Don't ya know it
You get some cash but you owe it
In the red up over yo head
Poverty Sucks that's what I said

And ya know I got a job
But for the money I make I'm gettin' robbed
When the time comes I finally get paid
My bills only be two weeks late
Grass is always greener the other side of the fence
But they're counting dollars I'm scroungin' cents
Maybe If I was born filthy rich
This life wouldn't be such a bitch

Poverty Sucks
Don't ya know it
You get some cash but you owe it
In the red up over yo head
Poverty Sucks that's what I said

When ya live yo life this way
Ya come to know what's real
See a kid drive a Lincoln
With so much case he's stankin'
How does that make me feel
Crunch

All of my clothes startin' to look like rags
Now livin 'outa shoppin' cart man that's sad
Aint gonna turn into no bum on the street
Aint askin' much just every day to eat
Every dogs gotta have his day
But it ain't gonna happen here if I stay
Gotta have cash to turn some bucks
But that's fucked up I think that just sucks

Poverty Sucks
Don't ya know it
You get some cash but you owe it
In the red up over yo head
Poverty Sucks that's what I said

04. Toe Tag

Strapped into a stretcher
Racin' down the street
Such a brutal crash
Just turned yo skin into meat
Sirens are a screamin'
As they all pull aside
The speed the ambulance goin'
It must be your last ride

Doctor looks at you and says
What can I say
Tells every one concerned how he
Pronounced ya D.O.A
Then as they're wondering what size you
Take in a body bag
The information written out
On your Toe Tag

As they wheel you inside
There's nothin' they can do
As soon as they got thru to you
They knew you were through
Give it one last shot
To try and save your ass
From kissin' the city pavement
Has given you the rash

Doctor looks at you and says
What can I say
Tells every one concerned how he
Pronounced ya D.O.A
Then as they're wondering what size you
Take in a body bag
The information written out
On your Toe Tag

Oh what you trying to say
It's a li'l bit too late
It first become yo life
And now it's just become yo fate
It's not so hard to go
It's when you arrive
Your body's pretty stiff
And they lay you out on ice

Doctor looks at you and says
What can I say
Tells every one concerned how he
Pronounced ya D.O.A
Then as they're wondering what size you
Take in a body bag
The information written out
On your Toe Tag

06. Mr. Dandy

Lil girls runnin' out on the block
He's out givin' 'em candy
He's got all their favorite flavors
They just think he's dandy
As he sweetens her with his talk
And asks if she wants a ride
Forgettin' what mommy told her
Now mommy's left to cry

Everyone's out to get him
He's the one not to trust
And you know it's lil kids that he lusts

He's the one on the news
Everyone's lookin' for
But you went out and left the kids at home
And ya forgot to lock the door
He comes around lookin' for them
To see if they wanna play
They been missin' since October
Found 'em dead in May

Everyone's out to get him
He's the one not to trust
And you know it's lil kids that he lusts

Mr. Dandy
Mr. Dandy
Mr. Dandy
Mr. Dandy

This guy is walkin' in the streets
Maybe lookin' for your kid
Sticks 'em in a garbage can
And not put on that lid
It's hard to believe that this stranger
Maybe prowlin' thru your town
Maybe you'll see him hangin'
Down around the VIOLENT PLAYGROUND

Everyone's out to get him
He's the one not to trust
And you know it's lil kids that he lusts

Mr. Dandy
Mr. Dandy
Mr. Dandy
Mr. Dandy

07. Lame From The Neck Up

When you live you dyin' day
Better get on your knees and pray
Yeah ya thought that ya had balls
Now the undertakers comes to call
Seen it comin' from a mile away
Now there's nothin you can do or say
Life's a bitch that you had found
Now you're 6 ft. in the ground

Lame from the neck up
Lame from the neck up

Ya had no friends that you known
Now your whole world is blown
Your stupid ways were always weak
Now your bones just rot and creak
You never could get no ass
Now over your head you're growin' grass
Been a outcast since your birth
Now you part of Mother Earth

Lame from the neck up
Lame from the neck up

Yeah it all just passed you buy
No one ever know'd you die
Yeah ya never thought it was fair
Now ya just lie and stare
Better get used to immortal life
'Cause you were as sharp as a butter knife
Better get used to the fact you're dead
'Cause now ya sleep in your pine box bed

Lame from the neck up
Lame from the neck up

08. Play To Kill

We're the wanted few, the chosen brood
That rule in the dead of the night
We don't take no shit from the lil spit
Who think that their heads on tight
We're out on the call just to have a ball
'Cause that's what life is just for
So don't get in our way 'cause you'll ruin the day
Then ya won't be livin' any more

Run and hide your lil ass lucks runnin' out
There's no more time to be still
Pray for help in our lil game
You're never gonna win it
'Cause we play to kill

Play to Kill

Yeah we live on a thrill pure muscle and skill
We'll give ya the pleasure of pain
It's play for keeps the losers weep
Blood that just spills from his brain
So don't put up a fight ya know that's not right
We'll see that you're put in your place
So use your head before you're dead
And just get the hell out of this place

Watch your back watch your balls
Never close your eyes
'Cause we fire at will
Your times up you lost the game
You're never gonna win it
'Cause we play to kill

Play to Kill

Just like I said you'd lose your head
Ya shoulda stayed inside tonight
It's all the same in our deadly game
We just like to have fun in the night

Run and hide your lil ass lucks runnin' out
Or do ya think ya fit the bill
Play with us don't back out
No more fear
'Cause we play to kill

Play to Kill

09. 21 St. Century Bluesmen (Boogie Chillun)

Ya better watch yo step
In muddy nuclear waters
They come down with the hook
And put the foot stomp right on you
Like a howlin' wolf
Cryin' out his soul
But when it's time to shake it baby
Man ya know I know

Make ya move yo feet
Make ya jump and shout
'Cause ya know it's in 'im
And it's gotta come out
Go and get some nookie
Now its time boogie

Modern day electric warriors
Teachin' you a lesson you been taught
21st century blues man
Thrashin' Blues we're standing tall

Gotta know where ya come form
Know just what to do
Give it a lil volume
Make the chillun understand
It becomes like shearin' metal
Play it loud and fast
It's really still the blues
And now they call it thrash

Make ya move yo feet
Make ya jump and shout
'Cause ya know it's in 'im
And it's gotta come out
Go and get some nookie
Now its time boogie

Modern day electric warriors
Teachin' you a lesson you been taught
21st century bluesman
Thrashin' Blues we're standing tall

You can hear steel cryin'
From a finger shake
And the world knows
It has it's start
From a lonely backwoods crossroad
And a man who sold his soul
The blues had a baby
And they named it rock n roll

Make ya move yo feet
Make ya jump and shout
'Cause ya know it's in 'im
And it's gotta come out
Go and get some nookie
Now its time boogie

Modern day electric warriors
Teachin' you a lesson you been taught
21st century bluesman
Thrashin' Blues we're standing tall
Boggie Chillun

10. Anvil Head

Standin' there screamin' at the front of the stage
He just thrashes in a violent rage
3 quarts of hair spray in his hair
Bashin' his bean he don't fuckin' care

Girls comin' on to him
He's part of the scene
Start talkin' to him
Don't know what you mean
Just lives his life
For any night
Lost in his world
He's as high as a kite

Fightin' his way
Through the crowd
To get backstage
And hang with the band
What happens now
It's up to him
He blew a fuse and...

Anvil Head
Head bang fever's gottin to him
Anvil Head
He's Captain Thrash
Anvil Head
Bangin' his head against the wall
Anvil Head
This is his life

With that look in his eye
In full battle gear
What's important to him
Is another beer
He don't care
Where he ends up next
Just as long as
He's getting his kicks

Fightin' his way
Through the crowd
To get backstage
And hang with the band
What happens now
It's up to him
He blew a fuse and...

Anvil Head
Head bang fever's gottin to him
Anvil Head
He's Captain Thrash
Anvil Head
Bangin' his head against the wall
Anvil Head
This is his life

He's ready to scam
His skin's on fire
Got a hold on some one
I think it's Soraya
She takes him home
Plays game with his head
Too bad for her
'Cause now she's dead

Fightin' his way
Through the crowd
To get backstage
And hang with the band
What happens now
It's up to him
He blew a fuse and...

Anvil Head
Head bang fever's gottin to him
Anvil Head
He's Captain Thrash
Anvil Head
Bangin' his head against the wall
Anvil Head
This is his life
