There was romance in the air for sure
There was romance in the air
When the autumn sunlight Sharmon Palms
There was romance in the air
Sitting on the steps
Shit-head drunks
We had a crew and we called it The Skunx
Punk rockers, skinhead, misfits and misunderstood kids
Me and Ben we spent years
By the park trees drinking beers
When the center of the universe was a street called Sharmon Palms
There was romance in the air for sure
There was romance in the air
When the autumn sunlight Sharmon Palms
There was romance in the air
Nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Youth was exhausted
Some take it harder then most
My best friend he crumbled and he withered away
(Withered away)
I went back to the palm trees
The safest place Ben could ever be
Mixed his ashes with the dirt
He'll be safe there
(Yeah!)
There was romance in the air for sure
There was romance in the air
When the autumn sunlight Sharmon Palms
There was romance in the air
Nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

Stop

Small sacrifices or otherwise few
Unity for the sake of the many forms
Oh they use imagination only few can go
Touch of madness only few ever know
Well you can go on your way
Or you can stagger through hell
You can lie on your back
Or you can stand up tall
In a state of confusion
Got nothing to do
I was connected respected
Watching you make it through
And all this rhetoric
They tell me to sing along
They said that you were dying
But I know that they were wrong
Second generation melting pot
You're ripped apart but you're never done
There she goes
It's all right
Nothing to do
Waste your time
And all this rhetoric
They tell me to sing along
They said that you were dying
But I know that they were wrong
Well you can go on your way
Or you can stagger through hell
Or you can lie on your back
Or you can stand up tall
State of confusion
You got nothing to do
Connected respected
I'll watch you make it through
And all this rhetoric
They tell me to sing along
They said that you were dying
But I know that they were wrong

She gonna go
She gonna seek and destroy
She gonna split with the whole damn scene
Make a run
Cause some rebellion
Hustle some cash with the danger eyes
She gonna go
She gonna seek and destroy
She gonna split with the whole damn scene
Make a run
Cause some rebellion
Hustle some cash with the danger eyes
Danger eyes (I know)
Danger eyes (she goes)
Danger eyes (she's got danger eyes)
Danger eyes (I know)
Danger eyes (she's got the dangerous eye)
Well, an eminent trendy boy loosing the corner
“Let's start over, stay clean”, she said
Ideology is a survival up the years
Another being-willing psychobilly
Winchester, four o’clock, through over there
Scandalous, victorious is no longer suspected
Odds are only to her dismay
Raise up, power, love for decay
She gonna go
She gonna seek and destroy
She gonna split with the whole damn scene
Make a run
Cause some rebellion
Hustle some cash with the danger eyes
She gonna go
She gonna seek and destroy
She gonna split with the whole damn scene
Make a run
Cause some rebellion
Hustle some cash with the danger eyes
Take real, her lick, it's a whole new night
She had a dream of a sixty foot devil dancing
Saw a blue sky, open hands
Some got guns, he used life as a weapon
Another twilight on the very north ridge
An explosive frown, pay for backache
That it definitely holds you hostage
While death, he comes so primitive

Dead And Gone
02:06
|

Yeah! Are you ready for this?
I told you we was coming!
Go!
These bands call anywhere living in '66
I made so many mistakes when I look back, it makes me sick
Those days are dead and gone and they ain't ever coming back
Those days are dead and gone and they ain't ever coming back
I realize that in life it ain't free
I got so many troubles, it brings me to my knees
Those days are dead and gone and they ain't ever coming back
Those days are dead and gone and they ain't ever coming back

Stranded
02:24
|

When I walked into the hotel room
I had an old case in my hand
It was a 1962 Fender acoustic guitar
Yeah you've been my friend through thick and thin
Where do i begin to tell you what we've seen
Together all over the world, could not make it without you
Stranded, stranded
Stranded, stranded
Stranded all over again
Stranded all over again with you
Hangin' out in the east bay with my friends and family for a week
They helped me out but I feel like I should go back home now
I was dropped off at Oakland, train station gave my ticket
Got on the train, my only luggage was my old beat up guitar
Stranded, stranded
Stranded, stranded
Stranded all over again
Stranded all over again with you
Stranded, stranded
Stranded, stranded
Stranded all over again
Stranded all over again with you

Killing Zone

Drop bombs, you're gonna be warned
You're gonna be scorned, you're gonna be torn
There's a storm hittin' your home, not a false alarm but a real one
Can't trick it, it's wicked, can't stick it, picket lines striking
If you like it, don't fight it, just hold it, then ride it
Heading straight to the killing zone, now the war's on
Heading straight to the killing zone, now the war's on
Holes in the ozone, we're all gone
Heading straight to the killing zone, now the war's on
Heading straight to the killing zone, now the war's on
Holes in the ozone, we're all gone
All the nights of constant run
If you're the one, well now you're bombed
Sail on, Mr. Dumb One, you got a shot gun, hit the marksmen
Complex thoughts here, he don't live here
Keep the war there just to control there
Without a care here, you should just see there
Start a war there, cross the borders
Heading straight to the killing zone, now the war's on
Heading straight to the killing zone, now the war's on
Holes in the ozone, we're all gone
Heading straight to the killing zone, now the war's on
Heading straight to the killing zone, now the war's on
Holes in the ozone, we're all gone
Heading straight to the killing zone, now the war's on
Heading straight to the killing zone, now the war's on
Holes in the ozone, we're all gone
Heading straight to the killing zone, now the war's on
Heading straight to the killing zone, now the war's on
Holes in the ozone, we're all gone

Things To Come
03:09

War between races, war between lies
War between something that lays out deep inside
The deadliest one, come blazin' and identified
Yeah, how many must lay, before we realize?
And I say, how many must lay, before we realize?
I caught (I caught) a glimpse, I caught a glimpse of things to come
I was (I was) jolted, I caught a glimpse of things to come
One that stops, and launches and explosion
I caught a glimpse of things to come
It falls on you, and then it, it falls on me
Outside the church the streets are wet
It's a half past three
Well ya, ya get your moves all steady
Cause no good is up again
Mortally wounded, the one on the front seat
It's the beginning of the end (And ah)
God bless the dead, and the family and friends
I caught (I caught) a glimpse, I caught a glimpse of things to come
I was (I was) jolted, I caught a glimpse of things to come
One that stops, and launches and explosion
I caught a glimpse of things to come

Blast 'Em
02:29
|

He didn't see it comin' until it was too late
He had a bad feelin' can't hesitate
And at the end of the day he was so tired
And he looked at the television
And whose the fuckin liar
He hates society, he thinks it's to big
It's just about killin' a man with his ring
And he knew what was happening, millions in gold
He's the first on the case and there's a murder to shoot
Bright lights, here comes the night
Interrogate the kid with the .357
I'm gonna (I'm gonna blast 'em)
I'm gonna (I'm gonna blast 'em)
I'm gonna (I'm gonna blast 'em)
I'm gonna (I'm gonna blast 'em)
Question the ethics, right or wrong
Secret identity started so young
He never made friends, ah don't get too close
For a man who's got nothin', he's just got the mercy
His family never knows the truth
'Cause he gets caught when he tells the truth
No friends to lose or time to betray
The rendition from the papers gonna bake him again
Bright lights, here comes the night
Interrogate the kid with the .357
I'm gonna (I'm gonna blast 'em)
I'm gonna (I'm gonna blast 'em)
I'm gonna (I'm gonna blast 'em)
I'm gonna (I'm gonna blast 'em)
See through his eyes, his eyes alone
Intensified anger, can't be controlled
He turned his indiscretion, he brought it all down
If there was ever force of reason it could never be found
The timing was perfect, this kid he was cleared
Computers down, he's clasped his fear
A different mind lives in a way
It's a good good thing that he got it straight
Bright lights, here comes the night
Interrogate the kid with the .357
I'm gonna (I'm gonna blast 'em)
I'm gonna (I'm gonna blast 'em)
I'm gonna (I'm gonna blast 'em)
I'm gonna (I'm gonna blast 'em)

Creeps burn and run their life too calm too windy
To form a wasteland
Atomic blow
A total nothing
Totaled completely
You filth's are discovered but you eyes are boiling
It's a Sick Sick World so what do you do kid?
Come on down, it's your turn, yeah it's your turn!
A night at the goat is the name of the band
A total giant glass ought to make the plan
This song's about when you go back-to-back
when you let out the dogs and your
mind is a stag
It's a Sick Sick World so what do you do kid?
Come on down, it's your turn, yeah it's your turn!

Yeah
Well I heard you say I need something
About friendship that loyalty's the weapon of the weak
When you can't, can't, can't, can't, can't realize
And the tears comes down and release
My love to you is true
A tattoo
That ain't ever coming off
I'll wait for the truth hits you
I'll take a loss at any cost
When we met you listened and you questioned
Every single thing that I did
When you can't, can't, can't, can't, can't realize
The tears comes down and release
My love to you is true
A tattoo
That ain't ever coming off
I'll wait for the truth hits you
I'll take a loss at any cost
Well I borrowed some courage from you
Through confusion I've made it this far
You said I could have had everything
If I just looked at myself, at myself!
Yeah!
My love to you is true
A tattoo
That ain't ever coming off
I'll wait for the truth hits you
I'll take a loss at any cost
My love to you is true
A tattoo
That ain't ever coming off

01:29
|

That's not fair, what's this for, we're all running to the liquor store
Stuck it in some fucked up kid, full of LSD and mescaline
Dust away the edge of time
An' I always remember how he said lonely no more!
I say that's only entertainment
I say that's only entertainment
I say that's only entertainment
Sometimes you need something, makes ya turn it off
I went to college, I'm no proper knowledge
I've seen the spray paint jet spray on the brick wall
I'll always remember how he said lonely no more
I say that's only entertainment
I say that's only entertainment
I say that's only entertainment
Hot sale, liquor stores fucked with the american streets, yeah
I said time never stopped, stopped in front of me
He shared three pieces of wisdom
I'll always remember how he said lonely no more
I say that's only entertainment
I say that's only entertainment
I say that's only entertainment
I say that's only entertainment
I say that's only entertainment

The ladies on the corner selling ecstasy.
They're dressed in fancy get ups like in porno magazines

Cops on the lawn waitin' for the kids to leave.
Willey knew the Brothels Willey had the speed
Willey had the friends that had everything you need
Willey knew the Brothels Willey had the speed

And when I first did him I knew that he was tough,

Red leather pants, a tattooed neck
And prayin' hard to Jesus saying givin' him a rest
Willey knew the Brothels Willey had the speed

There's four of us here and that's always worked
Good and evil, they don't mean dirt
One of 'em naked and one's no where
One of us went back in the hotel
On and on
Just a feeling, it don't seem right
Just a feeling, it don't seem right
Just a feeling, it don't seem right
Just a feeling
Hurry up please, I'm broken God
Well I don't know, I don't know about you
Yeah yeah yeah
Hurry up please, I'm broken God
I don't know, I don't know about you
Shoot it in the left and shoot it in the right
Can't tell Ma I'm homicidal
Or about pornos in West Los Angeles
Oh but she's got one and only child
On and on
Just a feeling, it don't seem right
Just a feeling, it don't seem right
Just a feeling, it don't seem right

In back rooms on the west side
Oh but she's getting her child
On and on
Just a feeling, it don't seem right
Just a feeling, it don't seem right

I saw a new generation coming
Under the smoke of Oakland
In and out, the streets are breathing
Under the smoke of Oakland
Chaos, disorder, looting and loiter
From a blind man praying for some silence
Take a load of my mind, not a
My best intentions always ended in a fight
You can send me to hell, expose me, I'll tell
Take control and tell what they're doing
250 dead, the Tribune read
Oakland's going off like a bomb!
Armageddeon is coming so you better start runnin'
'cause the big wave is comin' to the shore
No surprise that you see through the lies
Of a system rotten to the core
High tech surveillance, paranoia and violence
Keeping the city at a calm
250 dead, the Tribune read
Oakland's going off like a bomb!
Man, it just don't seem right.
See, everytime I turn around it's the same old story.
And it just don't seem right.
And I wonder when's it gonna end?
Knockin' down the doors, slogans on the walls
One said Fight Back & The System Will Fall
Police came out with tear gas and flames
Chaos in the city beating them at the game
Don't pay the poll tax, the headlines read
30 cops beaten, another one dead
The fight lasted on til the break of the night
A thousand angry looters who knew they were right

Emperor's gonna use some of that thought control
And I can hear the voices
Propaganda clogging generation's choices

Frustrates Timor's breath
They ain't gonna learn
A misguided hated measure
Against a backdrop of war-torn weather

I Wanna Riot
03:06
|

I saw a man get the beat down
Took his money and his wallet left him dead on the ground
I saw them gather celebrate the crime
Teaching us the laughter another lesson of mankind
I raise my hand, I've got another question:
"If I start a riot, will I get protection?
Cause I'm the kid whose got a lot of problems
And if I throw a brick maybe the brick will go and solve them."
Oh...yeah...I want to riot
Oh...yeah...I want to riot
I'm boiling up the city's on heat
Red alert tension you know it's on the street
Code blue city of the dead
Sirens in the night with the lights bloody red
See how we do this (hell yeah) see how we ride
Throw a brick light the fuse dodge a bullet duck inside
It's a statistic hammered on my brain
Branded with a number another pawn in the game
Oh...yeah...I want to riot
Oh...yeah...I want to riot
Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi!
In front of me the misery
Crying in line and dying burning debris
My face is burning...oh so quick...so quick
Like a candle at the end of its wick
Well, I turn the dial, I turn the channel
I turn into a monster fighting the eternal battle
I need some help and, there is no doubt
If I'm gonna go down I'm gonna take somebody out
Oh...yeah...I want to riot
Oh...yeah...I want to riot
Oh...yeah...I want to riot
Oh...yeah...I want to riot
Riot!

I've found a common ground with the thugs and hoods
That crazy punk kids super down in the street
This skinhead have a big boot and he makes pay
To the dogs one stop upon your head

So everyone singing with us: "fuck you!"
Punks and skins and hooligans and thugs
Someone making records, someone selling drugs
I make my living playing in the clubs
Playing in filthy squats, playing in drunken pubs
I don't give a fuck, I never would
Never fucking sell out, I never could
We sing what we want

We live how we want
So everyone singing with us: "fuck you!"
We sing what we want - Fuck you!
