03. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath

You've seen life through distorted eyes
You know you had to learn
The execution of your mind
You really had to turn
The race is run the book is read
The end begins to show
The truth is out, the lies are old
But you don't want to know

Nobody will ever let you know
When you ask the reasons why
They just tell you that you're on your own
Fill your head all full of lies

The people who have crippled you
You want to see them burn
The gates of life have closed on you
And now there's just no return
You're wishing that the hands of doom
Could take your mind away
And you don't care if you don't see again
The light of day

Nobody will ever let you know
When you ask the reasons why
They just tell you that you're on your own
Fill your head all full of lies

Where can you run to
What more can you do
No more tomorrow
Life is killing you
Dreams turn to nightmares
Heaven turns to hell
Burned out confusion
Nothing more to tell

Everything around you
What's it coming to
God knows as sure as God knows
God blessed all of you
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
Nothing more to do
Living just for dying
Dying just for you

04. I'm The Man

Yo, yo, yo
Yo, yo, yo
Anybody got the "I am the Man" single?

You know that fuckin' thing? Oops
Well, yo, we're going to do our little version of "I'm the Man"
I hope you like it
Here we go

Not!
Let's hear some noise!
Not!
Not!
Not!
Not!
Not!
Ahh ohhh!

Now we're Anthrax
And we take no shit
And we don't care
For writing hits
The sound you hear
Is what we like
And I'll steal your pop-tarts
Like I stole your...

"Socks!"

"Yeah, that's good"
"Alright, some of you'se know it"
"I know you know it, but Charlie don't know it"
"Sorry..."

Charlie, beat the beat
The beats you beat
The only thing harder's the smell of my feet
So, listen up
'Cause you might get dissed
Go drain the lizard
Or take a...

...Chair!

No, it's 'piss'
And watch the beat!

I'm on your case
I'm in your face
Kick you and your father
Back in place
Step up, sucker
Understand
Don't you know that
I'm the man! I'm the man!
I'm bad!
I'm so bad
I should be in detention!
I'm the man!
Woooo!

We've got real def rhythms
And fresh new jams
If you think we got egos
We're just hams
Scott plays stickball
And likes to skate
Frank is never on time he's always...

"Sleeping!"

"Ah-ah!"
"No, man, he's always washing his face"
"Hit it, Joey"

We drink the drinks
The drinks we drank
I put my money in the bank
They cut their crack
They offer joints
We don't do drugs
Do you get our...

Meaning!

Point! Watch the beat!

I'm on your case
I'm in your face
Kick you and your father
Back in place
Step up, sucker
Understand
Don't you know that...
I'm the man!
I'm the man!
I'm bad!
I'm so bad
I should be in detention!
I'm the man!

For a --
Wait, wait! Wait!
Stop
Stop

"We got a big problem"
"Wait, Joey fucked up, so I wanna hear everybody say, 'Joey fucked up!'"

"Joey fucked up!"

"Great! One more time"

"Joey fucked up!"

"Man, you guys are fucking mean!"

"That was a good, hit it, Joe"

For a heavy metal band
Rap's a different way
We like to be different
And not cliché
Well, they say rap and metal
Can never mix
Well, all of they can suck our-

[Audience yells various things]

"... do this right..."
"Do it right, guys, do it right"

Suck my motherfucking dick!

"Thanks a lot"

Wooo
Danny farts the farts
The farts he farted
I pick my nose
'Cause I'm retarded
Like El Duce says
"Smell my anal vapor"
And wipe my butt with your...

...Face!

Toilet paper! Watch the beat!

I'm on your case
I'm in your face
Kick you and your father
Back in place
Step up, sucker
Understand
Don't you know...
I'm the man! I'm the man!
I'm bad! I'm so bad I should be in detention!
I'm the man!

So as this rap is winding down
It's plain to see
We wear the crown
You know Anthrax is number one
But we don't care
We just wanna have...

"A festival!"

Fun, you fuckin' idiots!

Joey mailed the mail
The mail he mailed
We are the kings
That all shall hail
We're like a diamond
That is forever
And will remain
The hardest ever!

"Woo!
You guys rule"

"Fuckin' Dallas is ruined"

"You knew all the words, stylin', man"

"Hey, hey!
I think we're going to get in trouble 'cause..."

"I know, we cursed on the air"

"We cursed!
We said the F word"

"...what else can you say on the radio?"

"And these guys told me all night not to say any swearing words, and I didn't
And they cursed"

"How about this? You know, this is going to be played in Chicago and Cleveland and everywhere
How about, on the count of 3, everybody says, 'Fuck,' okay?"

"1, 2, 3..."

"Fuck!"

"Amazing"

05. Caught In A Mosh

Why don't you listen to me when I try talk to you
Stop thinking of yourself, for just a second fool
Shut up, shut up, I don't wanna hear your mouth
Your mother made a monster, now get the hell out of my house

Can't stand it for another day
I ain't gonna live my life this way
Cold sweat, my fists are clenching
Stomp, stomp, stomp, the idiot convention
Which one of these words don't your understand?
Talking to you, is like clapping with one hand

What is it? - Caught in a mosh

Don't tell me how to do my job
There's the door, your name's on the knob
You're always in the way, like a beast on my back
Were you dropped as a baby, cause brains you lack

What is it? - Caught in a mosh

Think - before you speak
Or suffer, for your words
Learn, to give respect
That others, give to you
The best you can do

Hey Man, I'm trying to reason but you don't understand
Talking in circles, we'll never get it straight
Just you and me in our theatre of hate

06. I Am The Law

Fifteen years in the academy
He was like no cadet they'd ever seen
A man so hard, his veins bleed ice
And when he speaks he never says it twice
They call him Judge, his last name is Dredd
So break the law, and you may wind up dead
Truth and justice are what he's fighting for
Judge Dredd the man, he is the law
Drokk It

With his gun and bike he rules the streets
And every perp he meets will taste defeat
Not even Death can overcome his might
Cause Dredd and Anderson, they won the fight
When the Sov's started the Apocalypse war
And Mega-City was bombed to the floor
Dredd resisted, and the judges fought back
And crushed the Sov's with their counter-attack
Drokk It

Respect the badge - he earned it with his blood
Fear the gun - your sentence may be death because...

And you won't fuck around no more - I Am The Law
I judge the rich, I judge the poor - I Am The Law
Commit a crime I'll lock the door - I Am The Law
Because in Mega-City...

In the cursed earth where mutants dwell
There is no law, it's just a living hell
Anarchy and chaos as the blood runs red
But this would change if it was up to Dredd
The book of law is the bible to him
And any crime committed is a sin
He keeps the peace with his law-giver
Judge, jury, and executioner
Drokk It

Crime - the ultimate sin
Your Iso-Cube is waiting when he brings you in
Law - it's what he stands for
Crime's his only enemy and he's going to war
