	All Fall Down the air stings my eyes the water burns my skin I've seen the reactions through my actions but I don't try to change a thing at all we're taught to close our eyes and conditioned to believe their lies as we watch them rape the land and skies to build the things that own our lives and we'll never stop were driven by greed we'll never stop we take more than we need and they'll never stop the politicians with their lies the corporations wont compromise still we refuse to change our lives and - we all fall down - we do what is convenient for ourselves without regard for our surroundings or each other and take what we want and discard the rest never looking back at the damage that we've done always moving forward closer to oblivion 12:00 A.M. It's midnight and she standing on the corner her time is money and that's fucking up the order that's right she's crossing all the borders standing in the shadows there's nothing else for her she doesn't know if she's gonna make it through the night she don't care she's sick and tired of this life a car rolls up so she shakes her ass the best she can 5:00 AM in Gould's they found her stuffed in a garbage can are you gonna play the roles society wrote for you? don't play the roles never play the roles - He never felt right holding down a 9-5 it made the ends meet but it never made him feel alive he filled his house with everything he could buy but more the possessions filled his house the emptier he felt inside and he cracked he's in a world that all his own he left it all his friends his family and his home it's dark outside Now it's cold it's raining and the wind is blowing living in a cardboard shack it's the only thing he calls his own Justification How do you sleep at night!? 'cause I lie awake and burn inside when I think of all the shit you've done when I think of all the times I've tried to understand your motives but they are not justified because you're only thinking of yourself but your choices affect all our lives Justify your actions How does it fell to always think you're right? you're never wrong it's not your fault well... who's gonna take the blame tonight? I'm lost again on I-10 but it feels like home to me I don't know where I'm going but I know where I want to be Keep trying I offer little resistance it's a pitiful existence your industry is polluting me and my mind and I can barely find the time to read the signs of things to come that's what they want you to know that's what they want another song won't change a thing a revolution I could sing but that never changed any fucking thing your contempt and disregard for human rights outrage us all I keep tryin' that's all I can do you've made a mockery of justice with your systems and your laws At Our Expense We're holding banners and they're holding guns keeping our rebellion to a minimum as we watch them gain behind this barbed wire fence it's so insane it's at our expense... and the media distorts the truth...we never had a choice we never had a voice you make decisions that affect us all you put us in a position that we don't belong all of our resources have been spent and it's at our expense now you're punching holes in the sky with plutonium powered rockets that fly to probe what can be reached and suck it dry...and it's at our expense Toby Toby was a friend of mine I met him back in high school we had a bottle of liquor and a skate board ramp there was nothing for us to do we got ourselves in and out of trouble every fucking day we had C.S.I. and outdoor suspensions for all the games that we would play - sometimes I feel like it's my fault not a day goes by that I don't see his eyes I'll never understand the choice that Toby made why did he die - Summer rolled around I spent my nights getting drunk and staying out late Toby lived on the other side of town I didn't see him all summer I couldn't wait to see him when school let in I could believe what my friend said their words still echo in my head suicide... Toby's dead We Don't Need You Don't ask for what I won't give watered down rebellion to sell to the kids I'm frustrated 'cause I keep myself down but I've been moved by the movement and possessed by the sound and we don't need you because the meaning gets lost in the translation and I can't explain it to you Your motives you can't hide because I've seen it before and it's like the rising tide and you say I'm stuck In the sand plain' basement shows across the land What the Fuck'd You Expect? she didn't need him she couldn't feed him and his father gets drunk and then he betas them they're livin in a run down trailer park he slips out of sight when it gets dark he's just gotta get outta there he's gotta get away and he doesn't really care what you think he needs another drink cause tonight he's getting an arm full of ink cause got beatin and he'll wear it on his skin they're more of a family than home has ever been well what the fuck`d you expect him to do!? he had no choices and you have no clue what the fuck`d you expect him to do in a world full of hate it's nothing new he found a feeling that he'd never have in the bottom of a spoon he's moving forward cause there is no turning back he gotta gat from a cutler ridge car Jack now he's rolling down the ave. well what the fuck`d you xpect him to do!? a nickel rock a gun shot in a parking lot somebody dropped...well what the fuck`d you xpect him to get a job like you when all he ever knew was surving the streets of goulds we were close when we were kids but he's gotta be hard cause thats the way he lives now he's locked in a cage so no one has to see him he's easy to forget society don't need him so they had him locked away but were the ones that pay 'cause they're selling his image to kids everyday now he's locked in a cage so no one has to see him he's easy to forget society don't need him, Daddy's Little Girl she used to stand with a knife in her hand at the foot of his bed she wanted him dead for what he stole from her when she was only 10 now it's 4 years later and it happens much too much too often her bed he visits when he's drunk and it feels more like a coffin - and if she gouged out of his fuckin` eyes would it help him see all the pain the shame and the fuckin` misery she hates this fuckin` world she's daddy's little girl now she's a wreck we can connect I don't know what she's feelin' she concealed their little secret but it's more than her body he's stealing I wanted to die the day she cried in my arms when she broke down now she flinches when I touch her and she don't want me around Sk8 Rock Don't try to understand it the most destructive high shoots my nerves into the sky everybody's lookin' for something I know just what I need I'm addicted to the speed - rent a cops try to stop me I wanna see you try just want to skate or die faster than lightning and out of sight like a demon in the night - I grab my skate and catch some air I'm grinding my life away but I don't care 'cause skating for me is more than a feeling run for cover I hear somebody squealing stupid rent-a-pig try to make me stop you better back off or I'll knock you off your block I'm a prisoner for life a slave to the grind I slide into the future and leave my worries behind When the Rain Begins to Fall Why do you see us as a threat? Were only helping those that you forget or maybe you haven't forgotten the needy at all but their votes just don't add up so the don't amount to much at all - shut us up and shut us down you can't shut us down - your political agenda has managed to fail us all and if we organize ourselves the police will get involved we'll fight you in your courts and we'll fight you in your halls we'll fight you 'till you fuckin` fall! you can attack food not bombs you can attack ABC but it won't be long before you'll have to answer to us all because you're the scum thats washed off the streets when the rain begins to fall. The Bottle's Lookin' Better Goin Down with the rest of the rats on this stinkin ship Gonna drown in this dirty sea that smells like shit Another night coated with blood, sweat and spit Wake up again with a face full of floor in another town that I`ve left before at another time with all the memories that I could hoard You can try to hold us down but we won't submit A mouthful of slogans might as well be shit It all tastes the same to a bunch of hypocrites We roam the land, livin' in a van hosing down wherever we can and I trace it all back to six days in Amsterdam I`m tired but I`m persistant I took the path that was most resistant I've covered so much distance, I never asked for any assistance Rock bottom ain't that bad, the bottle's lookin' better every night to this lad, I can't measure my wealth by the things I have but I`ll sleep tight tonight Sweatin' blood to make it work I woke up alone again in a park somewhere in Koln I can still taste the blood I've left on every microphone from Cutler Ridge to the Berlin Wall throwin' up blood and alcohol Lost an engine but I found myself in a whack shack in Arkansas The suits came knockin', said they represent some fat cat asshole seeking settlement for defacing an american dream his -AAA-dvertisment Another time, murder on my mind a cold shiver runs down my spine I can trace it all back to these feelings I confine WWYD? Call me sacreligious, I see you as ficticious Living your life in a storybook nightmare Gimmicks meant to infiltrate & hairwash todays youth Another fashion slogan what would you do if I tore you dreams & you heard the violent screams of a polluted, starved, corrupted world & soiled what was serene Greased up & coated evangelistic lies now you can slide along your apathetic life the path towards the light has made you blind You've accepted moral values but you've left something behind Rape & murder aren't condoned in the bible "How to Fuck the World" should be the new title of the book that you translate to cover up your hate If I decided your fate what would you do if I took you back in history & you saw your family raped & murdered in front of you because of your beliefs. Hypocrite, so full of shit! Religion does not make a person good or bad Whose right or wrong? Only fate will tell But if it was all up to me it would be you that burned in hell The Wet Foot Policy All the people on the street are on fire they're fucking sick and tired of you We've heard it all before give us your tired, your weak and your poor huddled masses you said you'd embrace the lies on Lady Liberty must be erased They braved the open sea to give freedom a taste our land of opportunity, their face full of mace so MacArthur Causeway will be ours I know the wounds will close but we`ll still see the scars and the faces of the innocent locked behind bars while human rights are violated by the coast guard again I didn't know that pigs could swim 90 miles to a better way of life if I touched my foot to soil I`m free 8 days now the beach is in sight now you stand between freedom and me just leave me to my own device I know the Wet Foot Policy Your actions made this fire ignite!
