"Burning In The Aftermath"
 
Since 1989 it seems that everyone's
forgotten the time when
intercontinental ballistics ruled the
world and the cold war raged

[Chorus:] Nuclear Family Nuclear War [4x]

Alarming to me it seems that ignorance
is still a disease and how so many
haven't a clue or a care about the threat
that still hangs over our heads

[Chorus 8x]

Burning in the aftermath [4x]

"Did You Ever Get A Feeling Of Dread?"
 
[Chorus:]
Did You Ever Get A Feeling of Dread?
That everything they're saying's not all that they've said

Why do they want to take us to war yeah
why do they wanna put us in a Government's war?
There's all this fighting and we don't know what for
so the rich get richer and the poor stay poor

[Chorus]

Poisoning the earth and the ground
so death comes swift it never makes a sound
the air is filled with carbon monoxide choke
on the diesel black clouds and the billowing smoke
Why do people fight over religion and politics
I've spent most of my life trying to figure it
out yeah yeah yeah it may be a question that
never gets answered it may result in some kind
of final disaster and oh what a shame it would
be but it would set the world free

[Chorus 4x]

All that they've said oh yeah

"Keep It A Crime"
 
Ride free or die your laws don't apply gonna hop
your fence and skate the pool skate the rail at
your high school kick me out but I'll come back
maybe next time with a baseball bat

[Chorus:]
Fuck security fuck the cops I'm gonna
skate just where I want skatings a crime so lets
keep it that way just wanna sk8 sk8

Do a smith grind I'll rip down your sign gonaa
grind the benches at the mall kickflip the stairs
at city hall you give me a ticket I'll tear it up
spit in your face and say "You Fucking Suck!"

[Chorus]

"High Anxiety"
 
[Chorus:]
Well it's the high anxiety
I'm a victim of society
high anxiety
I'm a victim of society
high anxiety
it's my high anxiety getting to the best of me

Sometimes I feel like I'm gonna explode and
when I'm approaching total overload
I know that when I'm having a panic attack
to duck and cover
cuz I can feel it coming

[Chorus]

This time I feel like I'm gonna die
cold sweat the fear is paralyzing
you know I wish that this was over and done
heart pounds I can feel it escalating

[Chorus]

I don't know why
sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night
I don't know why
I gasp for breath
I'm really feeling like I'm on the brink of death
[x2]

I wish I could get this crisis under control
then I could feel some kind of closure
I feel this could go on and on without end
I guess I'll just have to ride it out cuz

[Chorus x2]

"Your Silence"
 
War for profit can nothing stop it
punish those unloyal war for oil
we dominate we obliterate
world economics and other countries
U.S. policy hands in everything
our intervention ends in destruction
collateral damage the pack is rabid
foaming at the mouth awaiting the feast

[Chorus:]
Your Silence [2x]
Equals your death

War for peace it doesn't fool me
the guise of freedom blindly leading them
foolish sense of pride for the rich you die
media whitewash blood is the cost
the innocent dead use your fucking head
Protest and survive don't believe their lies
A million reasons to disbelieve 'em
A million reasons A million reasons

[Chorus]

Equals Your Death [8x]

You said politics don't concern me and that's
just fine so sing along to the radio's love song
and when they reinstate the draft you'll be the
first to go you're 23 so when you're in Iraq
staring into the eyes of the man who's the enemy
with skud missles streaming over your head remember
when you said "Politics don't concern me"
what you gonna do it's either gonna be him or
you what you gonna do you're just a pawn you're
just a tool what you gonna do gonna die at the
age of 23 what you gonna do still say "It Doesn't
Concern me"
The world is spinning out of control [3x]
It's all about money [4x]

[Chorus]

"The Change"
 
[Chorus:]
Hey you know that things can't stay the same
Hey don't be afraid to make the change [2x]

Everyone's telling you you've gotta stand tall
Just stick to what you know and you know you'll never fall
I guess that I can say there's some truth
in what they're saying have no fear move on and
stop delaying

[Chorus]

As much as we'd like things to always stay the same
there comes a time in everyone's life when we feel
strange doing the same old things again the same
way we've gotta break away to something new we'll
do it someday

[Chorus 2x]

As time goes on everything and everyone changes

[Chorus 4x]

"Invisible Government"
 
Do you know the world is run by big corporations
don't be a fool don't take a part in the ignorance
that's sweeping the nation don't let rich men make
the rules will you

[Chorus:]
Bow down to the invisible government fuck
that they're capitalist scum [2x]

Behind the scenes things get done that you an I
could never believe atop the world they're pulling
strings a puppet I'll never be used to satisfy their
greed I won't

[Chorus 4x]

Capitalist scum Fuck Off! [3x]

"One More Time"
 
One more time Somebodies gotta kill
one more time Is time standing
One more time Another suicide
One more time Another kid has died

[Chorus:]
And one more time I think
I'm losing my mind [4x]

One more time Another broken home
One more time A cold heart of stone
One more time Are children born to die
One more time Is it any wonder why

[Chorus 2x]

Can you tell me why this is they're just kids
One more time A child's been abused
One more time Power's always misused
One more time A cry that goes unheard
One more time I can only think the worst

[Chorus 2x]

"Beat My Head Against The Wall"
 
I need some patience because I have none
do I need a conscience or a gun you say I
need drugs I think that depends I think
revenge is the best medicine a prescription
of Prozac and Vicodin will these panic attacks
ever end a little less sadness and no more pain
another fucking night I can't sleep again

[Chorus:]
Beat my head against the wall
Against the wall [3x]

Sometimes I feel like I can't breathe it
finally wears me out then I fall asleep
waking up depressed not knowing why
sometimes I feel like I wanna die there's
so much paranoia that I can't think depression
keeps getting the best of me I need a fucking
will or an ounce of hope the solution doesn't lie at
the end of a rope

[Chorus 2x]

"Seized Up"
 
My friend Steve pissed away all his years cuz he
was slaving building cars blood and sweat upon
the gears all of his off time spent at the bar
years and years of nothing but sorrow I wonder
how can he be content fucking just to wake up
tomorrow he'll do it all over again gonna
wake up tomorrow and do it again

[Chorus:]
On the streets of Detroit on the streets
of this town all their dreams are destroyed once
you're in you can never get out

See Reggie sleeps on Jefferson Avenue on the
courthouse heat exhausts he's no different than me
or you in 1984 he got layed off a motor city dead of
we shared a joke and I gave him some change
wonder is there a hope his future I don't know I
never saw him again don't think that I'll ever see him again

[Chorus]

*Tons of casinos, miles and miles of factories thousand's of condemned homes,every corner there's churches and liquor stores all i need is a match and some gasoline.*

I'm gonna burn it down [4x]
My father put in his best year yeah working for one
of the big 3 still remember my mother's tears we're
born to die in a factory coming home at dawn early
break see he's strung out from the late night shift
pills and powder to stay awake I see his bottles are empty again
empty again prescription bottles are empty again

[Chorus 2x]
Sometimes I want to burn it down
