Your numbers up you have to go
The system say's "I told you so" Stocked in a train like a truckload of cattle Sent off to slaughter in a useless battle Thousands of us sent off to die Never really knowing why Fuck the system they can have me I don't need society I don't need society Before you know it you're in he corp Grab your gear boy you're off to war Stocked in a train like a truckload of cattle Sent off to slaughter in a useless battle Thousands of us sent off to die Never really knowing why Fuck the system they can have me I don't need society I don't need society You were an apple pie clone living at home Never straying to far from your phone Now son make it through enemy lines You must hurry there's not much time Made it sir. They're gonna drop the bomb No time to evacuate, they'll call our moms Fuck the system, they can't have me I don't need society I don't need society 02. Commuter Man
I play Pac-Man and I watch T.V.
I'm so happy 'cause it pleases me I couldn't really ask for anything else Maybe my own chain of Taco Bells I'm perfectly happy right where I am I could live forever in a traffic jam It doesn't really bother me to breath the poison air I'd choke anyway, I don't really care Sometimes I think about getting away for a while But when I return I will be out of style You may say I'm not an ambitious man But let me tell you I've got some plans Like there's a new car I wanna buy And a video cassette recorder yet I'm not sure why I wanna get married and have three kids 'Cause I'm lonely and I've got the hard dick Commuter Man 03. Plastique
I think of things that bring people down
I'm the type of person no one wants around Everyone stares at me wherever I go They all suck, what do they know? They're living inside a designer world A fresh and clean pretty little world Reality to them is a new pair of shoes And trying ten pair before they choose I think of things that bring people down Out of the clouds and back to the ground Where the fish lie belly up in black water Where the boy next door is fucking your dog Your living inside a plastique world Slick and modern pseudo world Where what you want is what you get Package after package of plastique shit 04. Why
Sitting around watching T.V.
Taking it slow, taking it easy Wanting to buy, wanting to hide And I'm wondering, wondering, wondering why. Why is the word I want to hear Why is the word the government fears Why does the government fucking lie I'm wondering, wondering, wondering why 05. Balance Of Terror
They've known all along
Since the first time they dropped the bomb They saw the power Everyone knew it was time to stop But they could not Well I've seen the sign I know it's time To shed a tear To draw the line But they can't stop now 'cause it's too late The end is near and they can't wait Balance of power Balance of terror We're in this too deep To correct our error A communist plan, it's all a plot And you're a part of it if you think your not We had an hour, now we've got a minute You can't hide now, we're all in it. Balance of power Balance of terror We're in this too deep To correct our error Nobody rules, nobody wins When there is no Earth, to you my friends We've got a chance if we make a stand Join the rulers or join a band Balance of power balance of terror Balance of power balance of terror Balance of power balance of terror Someone calls a bluff and we're finished 06. My Fate To Hate
It's my fate to hate
I realized but way too late It's my fate to hate Now I have a reason why It's my fat to hate - You! Is fate a lasting emotion? If so I sure am blind A misdirected maniac A misdirected mind - No! It's my fate to hate - You! Now I don't need a reason why Don't need a reason why A reason why a reason why 07. Who Am I
Who am I
D.R.I. Who am I? Three simple words Who am I? A human being Who am I? This weird thing Who am I? Not what I seem 08. Money Stinks
I stayed at homw today
And I'm not going back to work Money Stinks Money Stinks This city stinks Smell the power, smell the health Smell the poverty of Americas wealth Money smells of evil, greed Capitalist wants and pumped up needs Money stinks Money stinks This city stinks Smell the logic Smell the jet planes The dangerous goals and crooked aims Smell the progress Smell the dirty money Smells like shit, this isn't funny Money stinks Money stinks This city stinks Nobody cares about the air we breath Nobody cares about the air we need Smell the profit, smell the success Smell the dying dream of the mighty west Smell the factories, smell all the cars The adult book stores and the topless bars Smell the pretty people, smell their false pity Smell the broken promise of the living city Smell the real reason, smell, smell the one way plan The real estate, the desperate, state of modern man Smell the excess, smell the death Smell the wet dream of this human mess 09. Human Waste
Managers and engineers build machines
To steal your dreams Take a taste of human waste Farting, belching in your face Take a taste Take a taste Take a taste Of human waste, farting ,belching in your face Managers and engineers build machines To steal your dreams Take a taste of human waste Farting, belching in your face Human Waste Human Waste Human Waste Take a taste, farting, belching in your face Take a taste of farting, belching human waste In your face 10. Yes Ma'am
Teacher moves me from seat to seat
All I do is talk Teacher may I use the bathroom please? Yes, it's an emergency Teacher makes me take my test first I'll take your test Trapped inside this hourglass Thoughts of CRASS I'll give you the answers you want to hear But I won't conform Unlike my mindless vacant peers They're the norm Finished, may I use the bathroom please? Yes, still an emergency Come on, cut me slack Promise I'll be right back Just let me go this one last time And I'll never ask again Teacher, really, really 11. Dennis' Problem
My moms upset, my dads uptight
Don't like my music, they say it isn't right Don't like my haircut, they call me a dyke They send me to a shrink twice a week He tells my mom I'm a fucking freak Dreaming scary dreams Wondering what they mean Living down under deep in never ending waking sleep When will this end? Or has it even begun I love the moon And I hate the sun 12. Closet Punk
You think your real cool
Starting fights at school And writing stupid lines like "Anarchy Rules" You don't even know what anarchy is You never will and you never did You're a closet punk You closet punk If your mother only knew you wear bandannas and boots Of you traded your tennis racket For a camouflage jacket Those wrap around glasses make you look like a faggot You've got a Mohawk that you comb down in the day When you're at work or when you're out at play You're at work or when you're out at play You're in this just for fun You're a closet punk You closet punk Stay in the closet where you belong Stay in the closet where you've been all along You're the hidden one You're in this just for fun You're a closet punk You're a closet punk You closet punk 13. Reaganomics
Reaganomics killing me
Reaganomics killing me Reaganomics killing me Reaganomics killing you 14. Sad To Be
My mommy says I should join the church
The mad man tells me what I'm worth True, it's clear, he beats me down Makes me bitter, makes me frown Till I myself as a human being Hide my eyes to what I see I myself as a human being Hide my eyes to reality Me, alone, I really wonder why All alone I wonder why I try When life itself depresses me And everything else, it's sad to be 15. War Crimes
You should have gone to Canada
You could have run away But you couldn't shame your parents You say you had to stay So you get yourself drafted So you went ahead and went And you thought you'd be a hero And not a dissident War Crime War Crime You used to be a good boy You used to be the best Then you tried the drug Ad you dreamt about the west Everyone's your enemy Everyone's your friend Your world was upside down To kill was not to sin So you shot the wrong woman Or you shot the wrong kid Now Sam will make you regret That you ever did But you had no choice You were told what to do Orders from the helicopter crew War Crime War Crime Back home they wanted blood For the atrocities For the innocent who died On they're TVs They demanded justice They demanded you They wanted to watch you hang Till you turned blue War Crime War Crime And the president said that that's OK Because it takes they're attention away From the real crime, the war There are no war crimes War is the crime 16. Busted
Police drive by, I hold my breath
I've got 10 warrants for my arrest They stop at the light and whip it around Ten minutes later I'm headed downtown Free Ride Busted stepped out of line Busted no place to hide Busted couldn't pay my fines It makes no sense to live this way But I'm gonna do it anyway Busted for being me Busted for being free Busted can't pay my bail Busted I'll die in jail It makes no sense to live this way But I'm gonna do it anyway 17. Draft Me
Draft me I want to have fun
Draft me give me a gun Draft me I'd understand Draft me I want to be a man I want to help America keep the peace I want to be a trooper in the world police, Draft me 18. F.R.D.C.
I'm a first round draft choice 19
A man without a choice unseen Feedback from society Please A reason For Kampuchia The problems in Korea The wars in Iran Afganistan Argentinas Falkland Islands 19. Capitalists Suck
Capitalist Suck
Capitalist Suck Capitalist Suck You can't tell your wants from needs You buy America and do a good deed Create a job, don't bite the hand that feeds Capitalist Suck Capitalist Suck Capitalist Suck All of your goals are the fucking same As every other jerk in this stupid game Your brains have been washed and hung out to dry You don't doubt it and you don't know why 20. Misery Loves Company
What they have now
They want for me Misery loves company Live a life of bigotry On the way to bankruptcy Beer belly and family Crackers, cheese and burgundy You're life's no anomaly Live your life accordingly Wake up to the certainty Of ageing and misery No real love just cake and tea No road to recovery Live the life of drudgery Same old shit, housewivery, fakery, tracery, misery 21. No Sense
The generals say they make good sense
A strong economy? First a strong defence That makes sense They make sense to me The Air force says they need new planes As they prepare for strafing raids And the Army, of course, needs more men So they can fight and kill and win That makes sense They make sense to me The Navy says they need more ships So they can float and shoot and shit They also say they need machines To run they're little submarines That makes sense They make sense to me 22. Blockhead
You work all day to earn your pay
To pay off all your debts You rent your square to live in And that's the best it gets Cubical man does what he can To keep himself alive Pays his share for his little square In order to survive Locked in a race, the money chase The systems fooling you The more you make the more they take And there's nothing you can do Cubicle man does what he can To keep himself alive Pays his share for his little square In order to survive Run your ass to get your check Stand in a crowded line Pay your bills and buy the pills That help you to unwind Cubicle man does what he can To keep himself alive Pays his share for his little square In order to survive You buy a chair for your little square So you can sit and hide But you're all alone you fucked up clone 'Cause no one's on your side The game of fools has its rules So don't you fall behind They'll take your square 'cause they don't care They've got they're home-free ride Blockhead! |
