Doug Drealer 03:32
Everybody stressing me too much shit on my mind Boredom fucking killing me haven’t got a fucking dime And it costs a million dollars just to make it through the fucking day When you’ve got habits to support and landlords to pay CHORUS It’s a military lifestyle a drug dealer and Joe Kids who owe me money while Jeff is selling dro They think it’s a joke but these kids just don’t know I’m rolling six deep extra clips and I’m broke Kill my every brain cell just so I can get to sleep Think I just smoked heroine I think I’m in too deep Bullshits got me stressing so I just can’t stay away Cause I got these habits to support and landlords to pay X2 CHORUS Take my money Take my life CHROUS

Home Bum 02:24
Straight off the dome Kickin it out from the east way that’s my home Killin police hey that’s just the way that we roll Rockin a crowd hittin hashish frees up my soul Go! Could’ve been you could’ve been me Could’ve been anybody on the fucking street Well it could’ve been you or it could’ve been me But it was him that wound up on the fucking street CHORUS No friends No fun No life Home bum No hope & you Can’t Run your fucking Times up Home bum Crew’s from the east full of vandals and thieves Deceasing police at a rate that’ll never cease to increase And we’re savage as beasts Kicking up the dog shit when the energy’s released CHORUS X2

Suspects 03:21
Break my head upon your shiny black phallus Bust my ass on the day to day Twist my arm and you’ll give me shit & you shoot me in the back if you don’t get your way You tell me that it’s for my protection You tell me that you’ve got a fucking right Seems to me you protect the fucking government You’re violent packs of fascists looking down your rifle sights CHORUS Suspects and termination Crimes of morality Products of a dead end nation This land of apathy Break my head upon your shiny black phallus Bust my ass on the day to day Twist my arm when you give my shit Shoot me in the back if you don’t get your way CHORUS

I can’t believe we ever thought we had this shit controlled Cops are kicking at the door kids dying at the shows The kids that came an hour ago keep looking for a fight And we’ll be real fucking lucky if we make it through the night When we play another show I guess we already know CHORUS Decades too late to wish I wasn’t born Already here guess I’ll wait out the storm Depression in succession suicide and tanks With the freedom to choose who poison the ranks Shut the fucking show down before the first songs done Pigs are all up on our ass they got us on the run Fucking up the real-estate making lots of noise Pissing off the neighbors and we’re getting shit destroyed Because opinions are like elbows so are apathy and nihilism Some days you wake up hey everybody has their one Mine’s been a few decades now so I have to cope with these tunes like smack I’d be dead if it weren’t for this it’s my only asset CHORUS Can’t believe we ever thought we had this shit controlled Cops are kicking at the door kids dying at the show Play another fucking show And all the fucking kids we know Got drunk about an hour ago Now its time to fight CHORUS

Amphetamine 04:40
Palms are red my throat is dry I think I’ll go insane When I put all that amphetamine into my fucking brain I think I’ll have a heart attack I think I’m in too deep And I wish I’d just done methadone so I could get to sleep CHORUS They call it amphetamine It’s a fucking waste of time For the fucking life of me I cannot close my eyes When I see this shit in front of me it makes me want to cry So I grab another fistful and I know just who to see Cause we love the medication but we aint got the disease CHORUS Palms are red my throat is dry I think I’ll go insane When I put all that amphetamine into my fucking brain I think I’ll have a heart attack I think I’m in too deep And I wish I’d just done methadone so I could get to sleep

Repeat 02:12
Fucking friends they fuck me This world sucks and nothings free Say it again yeah sing it with me You’ve heard this song before so it must be easy Pick and choose and make it through the night Forties alive until we fuck or fight Day by day and fucking shitty lives You’ve heard it before cause we believe what we write The news is shit so many believe In fucking pawns and repeating enemies Sticking to my guns rolling six deep You’ve heard it before at least we’re free CHORUS Wake up in the morning with a split in my head Then I bust my fucking ass until I sleep like the dead Heard a rich man bitching how he’s working so hard When he made this fucking game up & he stacked all the cards My charity is not your mouth to feed Can’t feed myself to satisfy my greed My list of complaints and my felonies You’ve heard it before but were you listening In juxtaposition Cali will sink Ashtray mouth amphetamine Tired broke angry and poor Nothing to gain from winning this war Get it right inside rights come with mind Insight is unkind you’re listening to mine CHORUS

Another fucking election year and nothing fucking changes Ignorance is based on fear & a national basis Their policies they never change they only change the faces We don’t gain nothing from a political race You can take the left you can take the right They’ll keep fucking all of us & take everything in sight Topics and opinions you think you’ve had you your say Doesn’t really matter at the end of the day CHORUS Turn on your TV this is what you’ll be seeing Bosses are bitching and coastlines receding Politrick piggies are spawning and breeding Scheming so you won’t see the kids who are bleeding Another fucking election & year nothing fucking changes Ignorance based on fear & a national basis Policies they never change they only change the faces We don’t gain nothing from political races You can take the left you can take the right They’ll keep fucking all of us & take everything in sight Topics and opinions and you think you’ve had your say Doesn’t really matter cause at the end of he day CHORUS It’s the way shit goes & It’s a fucking freak show CHORUS

Chicago 28 00:55
Wear a badge and gun to work But if your fellow officer He doesn’t like you skin color Then you’re royally fucked CHORUS: Chicago 28 They shot you in the face They didn’t hesitate Chicago 28 Evidence is locked up tight They lied & cheated falsified Bet they wish that you had died But now you’re getting framed CHORUS Wear a badge and gun to work But if your fellow officer He doesn’t like your skin color Then you’re royally fucked Chicago 28

Wake up the tide is rising The winds are blowing And the mast she is splitting in half The storm is raging The captains drowning And the rats are taken over the ship taxes taxing a tribulation trial managers maxing their credits on file thieves that take from our fucking lifestyle to amend their debts with crimes so vile rubs n tugs to Persian rugs terrorists that have receptionists filthy rich who love their stench CHORUS: Cannot make sense of all your demands Got no patience for your commands Pay for my place in this capitol race In these cities of sin just to get a fucking taste Live my life pay the fucking rent To be well off but physically spent Never alone with the time to keep For the profit of the rich to sicken the weak Working 80 hours a week CHORUS No cash no life You have to pay to breathe No cash no life You have to sin to leave CHORUS

Xcept Myself 04:14
But fucking shit pissed off again Hey but I’m cool with not getting laid & being bruised from the pit my boss and my ex fucking bitch I play my music and I’m not getting rich & I can’t help but get caught by some pigs This inability to defend myself my friends selling out a one way ticket to hell Sometimes you just can’t help it man you’re ticked CHORUS: walk through the halls with graffiti on the walls There’s music in the air and beer in the stalls Drugs in the band room pussy on the couch We’re out on the porch talking bout that shit we talk about a fucked up world of hate & decay misery & poverty and apathy It’s wearing me down every fucking day but I can’t change a thing Can’t change a thing except myself Picking and choosing to fuck or to fight Drinking and driving and seeing the light Sleeping all day and creeping all night When the city comes alive beneath the neon lights Trying to make something good of my life But the doubt and insecurity cuts like a knife I’ll walk on by with my head held high Cause at the end of the day at least I fucking tried CHORUS

Is it my nature to be part of a circle Or is it just my life set up with many hurtles? Is it my nature to believe every word Force fed by those on top to ensure it’s heard Because what lies in man is an innate capability For all those capable to be without hostility until I see that shit with my own two very eyes I’ll stick to my guns with those who stick by my sides CHORUS: Insult me expect my charity give me a beer & tell me to leave Contradictions are hard to believe but so are the billions confused just like me Saw a notice that made me notice all the drunks in this town But what separates us isn’t attitude or a place to hang around Because bulldogs liars cheats yeah daggers and thieves Between us and them we share common themes Not a care in the world no will to leave Our boots tied tight until we’re buried like seeds CHORUS Not knowing what to make of natures give and take Waking up on new days I can’t help but feel its all the same Drink smoke have a toke & get fucked up until we’re broke Wake the neighbors with our fucking screams We can lie to cops and best of all we repeat Repeat CHORUS
