your fun x4
is not worth more than my life
your fun x4
your fingernails, your hair
your feelings don't know where
where'd you come from and where you going from here
where'd I come from and where we going from here
it's not worth more than my life
but this is bigger than my life x4
people in the streets
people walk the streets
cops they're on the beat
cops they walk the beat
you don't know where I live
I don't know where you live
you don't know who I am
but I know who you are
I see you
come looking for a fight
I see you
you're gonna find a fight
the break of pawn
this shit is bigger than my life

Hit Machine

blue skies, white clouds, red sun, red sun, red sun, red sun
scrubbing skulls with an illusion
drawing blood to draw conclusions
the stars aren't even really there
just parts of particles a part of the air
state sponsored killings on our tv screen
these fuckin' fascists and their hit machine x3
your mom and dad trying to act like they don't know what I mean
red flag, black lives, white lies, white lies, white lies
lift your eyes with an incision, there's death in you decisions
but you can only see yourself once your face is turned to stone x2
these fuckin' fascists and their hit machine x3
your mom and dad trying to act like they don't know what I mean
you don't know what you don't know what you don't know what

in the morning when I rise I go and I go and wake up terrified (you know that) a pain grips me up in my chest and the dark murky waters won't let me rest (I keep on) tossin turnin twistin and burnin not entirely convinced I'm still alive (I got some) questions for this Q&A, how the fuck do you think we got here today?
it's the comfort of a conspiracy... oh yeah
sunken deeper, running in place, I cannot I cannot give you your inner space (that's on you) teacher teachin, grabbin and reachin, no need to practice when you're the one preaching. with my eyes closed feeling defined, I'm snappin snappin right back back in line (I know that) you cannot hear me, feel me or see me, but the tide's gonna rise up every time
it's the comfort of a conspiracy
it all falls into place
let the sun shine in...

Go On (And Dance, Punk!)
02:18
|

everything I see, I feel x2
I reel from the real, same time conceal x2
get up, get into it, get involved
we'll be long gone long before it's resolved
broken glass everywhere
people living in the streets cuz they don't know where
turn it loose or give it up
we've got the same cup, go on and fill it up
the point of the dance, is to dance x2
go on and dance, punk!
I get into it, gonna do my thing
forever every night is what we all sing
it's a new day, if you want it
war is over, if you want it
I got something that makes me shout
I got that something tells me what it's all about
float down the stream with a turned off mind
projected reflections is all you'll find
go on and dance, punk!

motherfuckers wanna talk to me
tell me they got a thought of what I'm supposed to be
it's all apples and bees, so I grapple with trees
but my lungs can't take the heat and moisture
I'm on ox again, on oxygen
barely breathing like a neck on the cops of men
there's no stopping them, all they know is attack
that's why these poor motherfuckers gettin shot in the back
we ain't gettin' outta here
we ain't gettin' outta here
we ain't gettin' outta here alive
kickin rocks just for something to do
pal around, hear my sound, let it shine on through
the song hits you like a punch in the tooth
I think the same damn things that I did in my youth
no coming back from uncivil disobediance
I'll stomp a nazi no matter what the pleadin is
the bleedin is a bi product of the fear
I got news for ya baby, we ain't gettin' outta here
we ain't gettin' outta here
we ain't gettin' outta here
we ain't gettin' outta here alive

Going Down
02:37
|
|||
drunk and leaning, seeing visions and dreams
feeling kind of blue without a love supreme
I could go for miles on this coaltrain
but all the thoughts of you take up my whole brain
sketching giant steps, the shape of what's to come
no promise that I'll be there, come around and get you some
my cup is empty man, it was never full
faded and I'm fading
when you push I always pull
I'm going down (when you need me) x3
I'm going down, down, down
we could be anybody, hiding in sight
just a couple cool vampires, waiting to bite
throwing punches go and make me your bag
take it forever, only got a black flag
I see the lightness, I'm feeling terrible
to be a human being seeing it's unbearable
don't want to be here, is that not plain to see
do your heart a favor, stay the hell away from me
I'm going down (when you need me) x3
I'm going down, down, down
I need ya, I need ya, I need ya, amnesia

you don't really know what I mean and
you don't really know what I've seen and
you don't really know what I mean
when I say that it's all just one big thing and
you don't really know what you mean and
you don't really know what you've seen and
you don't really know what I mean
when I say that you're not even here and
I don't know... why you don't think you're me
I don't really know what this means and
I don't really know why I'm mean and
I don't really know what you mean
when you say that you have an enemy
I don't really know what is me and
I don't really know what is the end
how could I be at the end
when I swear that I never did begin
I don't know... why you don't think you're me

I'm gonna give ya till the second time
I'm gonna give ya till the second time around
I know you're fixing to let me down
I know you're fixing to let me down again
that's okay, I don't mind

you know they call me the magic man x4
I go away x4
you know they call me the magic man x4
I go away x4
and I ain't ever gonna come back
I need ya to come back
so I can go away...

bang, bang: can you feel the separation?
you're not me and i'm not you
bang, bang: call it individuation
can you hear the sound coming through?
can we demand more, out on the dance floor
we're all just damn whores for the man's war
sick and tired of people dragging me down
I shake it shake it shake it till I'm coming around
I'm feeling real good, I'm in a cold sweat
you try to tell me what to do, I ain't been told yet
you gotta move, bitch, don't get out the way
go on and shake that ass, baby what you wanna say
we gotta make it last, this shit is all we've got
you're staring down the barrel, come on now, take your shot
bang...
bang, bang: hear em play it on the station
when it hits you know I feel no pain
bang, bang: yeah, it's all anticipation
gonna shoot it up in my veins
I clap my own hands, I stomp my own feet
I bang my own drum, I got my own beat
a born alcoholic, never anonymous
I party for the right to fight this life autonomous
keep your distance, never leave me alone
I never had or needed a home
you're preaching to the choir, go on and let them sing
jump back baby, you know scotty gonna do his thing
bang...
