Suburban Lust

Look at all the nice homes, with their own back yards
Driveways and garages, so many pretty cars
These are the prizes, the goals to obtain
Make sure the ticky-tacky all looks the same
Suburban Lust
If you decide that maybe you want more
Out in the streets it's still a class war
We can get together and plan our escape
And move the fuck the fuck away
(Lyrics by Eric and Billy)

By Any Means Necessary
01:36

We all see the problems, we know our history
Injustice and corruption, standard policy
They wonder why we riot, how did this all start?
We've banded together to tear it all apart
This is our moment
We are revolutionary
We'll take what's ours
By any means necessary
Their system of oppression, is woven so tight
Juntos unidos, we'll put up a fight
They've got the bullets, they've got pepper spray
But we've got the power to wash it all away
This is our moment
We are revolutionary
We'll change the world
By any means necessary

I got a Bullshit Detector
Aimed right at you
Liar liar liar
Now what you gonna do?
I gotta Bullshit Detector
Bullshit Detector
Gotta Bullshit Detector
Bullshit Detector
Can you pass the test?
Up against the wall
Choke out your ego
Gonna watch you fucking fall
Your mouth is always moving
It's what you're all about
You haven't said a thing
I got you figured out
You think that you're so smart
Stay one step ahead
But I can see right through it
Try someone else instead

Up All Night

Well I guess it was bound to happen this way
So I guess there's really nothin to say
All those times that you were missin me
Now it's my turn to feel the misery
I'm sorry but I never knew
All the things that I put you through
Do what you want, but please come back to me
I never knew this bed could feel so cold
I never knew this body could feel so old
By tomorrow everything will be alright
But it's nothing but loneliness tonight
We've known each other so damn long
You haven't done nothin wrong
I turn on my record player
And I sing along

Speed Head
02:15

|
See him with his gas can
He's out on the streets
Got a cardboard sign in hand
May I have your attention please?
Skin like leather
Itching like he's got the fleas
Chicken arms are movin
Need a little bit of go-fast please
He don't wanna be
He don't wanna be another speed head
He don't wanna be
He don't wanna be another speed head
Her mouth is dry like cotton
Running from the police
Talking to her shadows
Screaming mother mary please
They're sinkin fast, they're in too deep
Ya know they're tired, but they can't sleep
But just another dollar
Will get 'em anything they need

It Came From Los Alamos

Come At Me Bro
02:14
|

|
You sure are lookin' good, with your hair spiked up
Got the tattoos and piercings, you're lookin' tough
Aren't you the one who writes that punk rock zine?
Aren't you the one I always see in the punk rock scene?
Come at me bro
In case you didn't know
I'm kinda into you
If you want
Show me what you got
I'll do the same for you
You might not believe me, but you're just my type
I wonder what you're doin', later tonight
I'd like to see some more of you, if that's okay
We might even have some fun, what do ya say?
Just for tonight, let's give in to our lust
We'll do everything two young men know they must
There's a special kind of magic when two dicks touch
I'll let you know if it ever gets to be too much

Fat Cats
02:12
|
|||
|
Spoiled fuckin frat boys runnin the zoo
Poor little gold digger married the fool
Now they're livin like kings and queens
Time to bring out the guillotines
Take the fat cats down, take 'em down
Plastic humans stuck on TV
Kids shot up with too much vaccine
Consumption is the human disease
All for the lie of democracy

It's All A Gamble
02:10
|
|||
|
Some people only play to win
Some people try not to lose
Some people always go all-in
But in the end we all pay our dues
Ladies and gentlemen, place your bets
Tonight is a night that you'll never forget
Time to throw the dice and give it a spin
If you don't ever play, then you cain't never win
We all know that the good times gotta end
So get as much as you can before then
No one's gonna tell you how to play
No one here's gonna tell you what to say
But just in case you didn't already know
It's all a gamble, everywhere you go
We all know that the good times gotta end
So get as much as you can before then
There's no shame in taking a bad beat
But all you need for hope is a chip and a seat

Old Habits

You know I can't help it, this is just what I do
I know you don't get it, I don't expect you to
You want me to stop, but that ain't happenin
Everything I've done, I'm gonna do it again
Here's one thing, that you don't seem to get
I've been living like this, since long before we met
And I'm gonna keep goin, for as long as I can
It is what it is and, I am what I am
(descent into darkness)
You keep livin your life, and I'll do the same
When you stumble across it, just ignore my name
I'm sorry if my lifestyle, has pushed you away
Some day you might forgive me, but just not today
(descent into darkness)

Out of Control
01:26
|
|||
|
You say you want a good time, and then next thing ya know
You're acting like an animal everywhere you go
There's no getting through to you, this time you're on your own
A little fun I never mind, but this I can't condone
Out of Control, you were Out of Control
Out of Control, you were Out of Control
All attempts to calm you down only escalate
We called for the authorities, but maybe it's too late
You're on a mission, so much you want to do
Too many wild sandwiches, more than you can chew

Every Waking Hour
Every Fucking Day
Headlines Blend Together
Scandals Fade Away
The same as ever, but so much worse
Every president was corrupt of course
This one makes a habit of being outrageous
He makes racism feel contagious
There's no time to follow the news
No time for informed political views
Too many narratives for us to consume
It's only getting worse, it's safe to assume
Fascist regimes around the world
YOU DON'T EVEN NOTICE
Dictatorships across the globe
IT SHOULD NOT BE LIKE BE LIKE THIS
