INTRO
The phenomena you are about to witness could well revolutionize your way of thinking
We are presenting startling facts and evidence that take up where other explanations evolved
Some of these revelations may very well go against things you have been taught or perhaps believed all your life
Prepare yourself for the evidence which will follow
BLOODCLOT
Hey Ho, Hey Ho, Hey Ho, Hey
Well I’m a crazy upsetter - Driving me insane
Yea I’m a street wise professor - Who am I to blame
Now if you listen to the record - Do you feel the same
Well it don’t get any better - Going backwards again
Swing your fist, white stitches in the face
??? about me I feel sorry I work here
Never been like them with this society
Pride protects me, feeling the banality
Now my guns are blazin’
Bloodclot I can see 360
Now my guns are blazin’
Pick it back up and start it all over again
Hey Ho, Hey Ho
Well I’m a bad motherfucker - Driving me insane
So don’t you even bother - Who am I to blame
Cause when I listen to the record - Do you feel the same
And it don’t get any better - Going backwards again
Read your words or raise your banner of hope, yeah
Well I kick my way in it seems to piss you all off
Well I try to shut the gates the walls are fading
I climb from the depths of hell I’m escaping
Now my guns are blazing
Bloodclot I can see 360
Now my guns are blazing
Pick it back up and start it all over again
Hey Ho, Hey Go
Now my guns are blazing
Bloodclot I can see 360
Now my guns are blazing
Pick it back up and start it all over again
Bloodclot oh yea well I can see 360
I can see all around me oh yeah
Hey Ho, Hey Ho, Hey Ho
Hey Ho, Hey Ho, Hey Ho
Well I can see 360
Hey Ho, Hey Ho
HOOVER STREET
She is a salvadorian immigrant, head through a thin wall
A frail hooker, holding a conor wall
Gleaming sky scraper bunker he looked down
Laugh hysterically and then he spread around
On Hoover Street, then he must be alone
The precious little kid cashed/cast the woes
Of a girl she kindof made you spill
Her brother Mario got shot 4 times in da head
Now see poor Mario, he caught a hot one, through the lung
Now he's done so god bless him
And the cocaine moves through their system
Like a river forever wandering
To the last party of the loner class
Just a bunch of kids who don't wanna finish last
Now see the market place has changed the weight of the scale
You either get out and die or go to jail
And your best intentions splinter and fail
And a few weeks of promises and intentions fail
It's a glass-pipe murder
It's a glass-pipe murder
Oh Yeah It's a glass-pipe murder
It's a glass-pipe murder
OOOHHH YYYEEEAAAHHH!
They kick a bottle of beer and a letter
Simple things made Mario feel better
You see it falls on you and it falls on me self-annihilation, catastrophe
Two packs of cigarettes for $2.70 and a bottle of wine that's been opened
And he said, why do I do this
A shiver through his body like a bottle of CC
Not encouraging reality or me
He said it's who I am being back to it
Off the deep end the record changed
You see, no one stood up and cheered for him
Everyone sat down with something that happened
Began, to happen
It's an old school dorm mystery and the handcuffs bleed
It's a glass-pipe murder
It's a glass-pipe murder Oh Yeah
It's a glass-pipe murder
It's a glass-pipe murder
OOOHHH YYYEEEAAAHHH!
Who was the killer.... it's in the...
BLACK LUNG
Sign a petition on a working condition
Union is in bed alligned with the call of berettas
Carry our freedom
Lookin for something
To give your family a better life for every single day
Some things keep me goin
I got no one to blame
5 o´clock is coming
Do ya feel the same
When a lonely whistle calls out your name
What a man likes to see
When they come after mine
No prettyness for the mighty black lung
Rank and file workers
Rank and file managers
Take off the gloves and sock it to em
Some things keep me goin
I’ve got no one to blame
5 o´clock is comin
Do you feel the same
When a lonely whistle calls out your name
Hey young believer
Black lung feaver
Transmit receiver
Stand up deciever
I dont’ like ya eiteher
We're all preduidice for the black lung feavor
Some things keep me goin
Ive got no one to blame
5 o´clock is coming
Do ya feel the same
When a lonely whistle calls out your name
LIFE WON´T WAIT
Jesus and his desciples wage a final war
Religions and procedures keep the quest for the holy grail
The eye of the pyramid is open and awake
The pagans and their rituals and the choirs won't begin to sing
The vision is the new world order
The vision is the new world order
The vision is the new world order
Come along and tell your sister and your brother
The war comes with the dynamite blast
Government rides on the week and the poor
Don't wanna see my brother in any more pain
When the little man fights all the big man's wars
(rap part)
The vision is the new world order
The vision is the new world order
The vision is the new world order
Come along and tell your sister and your brother
The conscience of the public cannot be put to sleep
The condoning of the nations has no bounds in which they seek
Was it the mob tellin the CIA the restore this state of fear
How many of us wish we were at jeff kennedy's hearing
The vision is the new world order
The vision is the new world order
The vision is the new world order
Come along and tell your sister and your brother
See them try to rule the world
We don't know why
Why they try to rule the world
(rap part)
Dynamite blast with the force of war
Government rides on the weak and poor
Don't wanna see my brother in pain no more
When the little man fights all the big man's wars
???
Life Won't Wait
The vision is the new world order
Life Won't Wait
The vision is the new world order
Life Won't Wait
The vision is the new world order
Come along and tell your sister and your brother
NEW DRESS
Oh no no, no Yea!
A gleaming succcess with the different tribes
Religious indifference mixed between the lines
Territorial company, they legitimize
Prosecution deformed & enterprised now
The unity's gone called apart from it all
The problem is spreading international
Like all these welfares going to be
A brand new key
Working class girl put her money to the test
She's got a new dress
She´s gonna look her best
Yugoslavias been blown to bits
She's gotta new dress
She's lookin' to the west
Entertain the idea of a peace on earth
So take slow down ??? birth
The world has seen the citizens die
While the innocent children bring it by ???
Another truth will burn on my neck
The time the civil war, shoot her or live
Working class girl put her money to the test
She's got a new dress
She´s gonna look her best
Yugoslavias been blown to bits
She's gotta new dress
She's lookin' to the west
The chivalrous ones will never represent it
The methods are savage are dastardly
Try to glimpse on the murdering
The appendage of guilt is lingering
Shadows of soldiers leaning by
Dead ones running "would you compromise?"
Destruction of war left in Bosnia
WARSAW
True to ourself, glad we did it
Beat him down with a baseball bat
Police retreated the riot scenes
In fear of a baseballbat
Working class intellectuals
Disillusion you for sure
Broken dreams in Warsaw
Where all the dreams fall down
American baseball bat
Demolish the discoteque
And how many blows to his forearm and neck
'til he lay in the schoolyard, bludgeoned to death
December 13, 1981
Who remembers the loaded gun
Who remembers the first morning
Of martial law
Hey, you should bring that Louisville
Yeah man, I'll know where
Yeah man i´m economic
Hardshipped in Warsaw
American baseball bat
Demolish the discoteque
And how many blows to his forearm and neck
'til he lay in the schoolyard, bludgeoned to death
Hey! All alone, bludgeoned to death
HOOLIGANS
Yeah! Here's the new face of rock-n'-roll!
It´s about fightin' toe to toe
Hard times come, yeah the hard times go
When I say, come on, come on
Well all the hooligans and rudeboys know one thing for sure
Scars been stricken on their face
One man's decision brings anothers opposition completely unbound
Down on the flats where the seaside meets my lonely youngtown
Well all the rudies and skins well they're out on the streets making the way on the dole
Between the bottles and sex they smash and they wreck for something to live
Well all the hooligans and rudeboys know one thing for sure
Scars been stricken on their face
Sometimes you know there's no place to go but a long life of crime
Yeah but its so wrong to steal someone's very last meal to profit up a dime
Your poe poes and greys well they end up in jail gonna swing the cowboys
Well you took a bite outta the apple of decision that got ya there boy
Well all the hooligans and rudeboys know one thing for sure
Scars been stricken on their face
Hooligans and rudeboys
I don't want no racial hatred
"Black and white, who are portrayed without bias
These are the people whose voice I want to be..."
I said the hooligans!
Rancid Rudeboys!
Rancid Hooligans!
Rancid Rudeboys!
Rancid
Well all the hooligans and rudeboys know one thing for sure
Scars been stricken on their face
ahhh ahhhh ahhhhhh...
CRAINFIST
Within the same school the idea was
We'd combine both styles unify the techniqes
But we were too young
Too full of ignorant pride ???
Oh no, some people live illegal what you got you can't keep here
Oh on, some people live illegal all their lives are led in evil
Open up the chains and set the man free
The devils and the witches are looming on me
The fighting and the robbing and the slavery
Adecision of dissention into insanity
Oh no, some people live illegal what you got you can't keep here
Oh on, some people live illegal all their lives are led in evil
Humility will hold you and never let you go
To all my friend well, much gonna turn
And to all the wicked i've got my eyes on you
And everyone stands in confusion, oh oh no
Oh no, some people live illegal what you got you can't keep here
Oh on, some people live illegal all their lives are led in evil
To do the job, you better prepare yourself to die (spoken)
Put em up put em up put em out wit' a cougar
Cool to the front street president maker
Put him in put him up set him by the door
Rough him up and stop him without the headphones
Put on the speaker gonna blast it
Blast those lyrics of elastic
With the twelve gage dealt with lyricals
Shut up the ? and smack him
Well since it's all on the contrast
Proclamation to the nihilist
Down to the propaghandist
Take me off of that fuckin list
Open the chains and set the man free
The devils and the witches are looming on me
The fighting and the robbing, and the slavery
Adecisision of dissention into insanity
Oh no, some people live illegal what you got you can't keep here
Oh on, some people live illegal all their lives are led in evil
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no.
LEICHESTER SQUARE
I got some hard times
Some punks up on the subway
It's a long way to go to get to leicester square
A hard line
Someone you gotta cross
The one you gotta cross
To get you anywhere
Michael's on his way to pay back syndication
A fist ??? and his backstreet education
The 8-ball stops him low
Demonstrations show
It's crystal clear for those who think
I'm broken here ya
I got none I got no mind for nothing
I got no inside, i got no feelings
I got nothing that you want, so stay away from here
BACKSLIDE
Los Angeles kid came to it
Burn it into the ground
At the end of the day
You got to live your loss
Because you can't turn the clock around
I said oh my god you can have this allowance
But you better not miss this shot
You let yourself get in all kinds of danger
Soon enough you're gonna get caught
But then i had a feelin
It was like you and your crew were one in a million
And i'm talkin to junkies
That are dealin
This time the drugs are you
And they'll come through
And they ain't gonna stop
Till they get what they want
And i said nobody knows me
Im all alone
I i i got to go
It's a hollywood bust stop
And the party's over
I i i got to go
Johnnie slidin over
Dante waitin for a ride
They're waitin to confide in hollywood
Contemplate backslide
With affordable lodging and a sun roof
Neslted amoung the filth
Frequencies and bad intentions
Gotta take it for what it's worth i say
But then i had a feelin
It was like you and your crew were one in a million
And i'm talkin to junkies
That are dealin
This time the drugs are you
And they'll come through
And they ain't gonna stop
Till they get what they want
And i said nobody knows me
Im all alone
I i i got to go
It's a hollywood bus stop
And the parties over
I i i got to go
Have you ever been hunted by your past
And it will never let you go
It'll never ever ever let you go
No i say it'll never ever ever let you go
WHO WOULD´VE THOUGHT
Who would've thought that dreams come true
Who would've thought i'd end up with you
Who would've thought what they said was true
But it was and you are light and darkness coming through
Sihlouettes of palm trees backing up against the sky
Echo park sunset, an ambulance drives by
Someone went down, and I wonder who
Faces fall through was it anybody i knew
So i drank like a fish till i crawl like a rat
In the city of shit i ended up on my back.
But i can't believe you're with me after dark
So let it come together in echo park
Who would've thought that dreams come true
Who would've thought i'd end up with you
Who would've thought what they said was true
But it was and you are light and darkness coming through
A red flag and your body wins
Or a snake bite, gotta start again
So i'm fucked up and watching TV all day
I don't wanna see what ricky lake's gotta say
And it hits me when i'm alone, i'm an angry man
I start singing to myself i go dealt a shitty hand
With all these feelings my heart could explode
So is it not fear, no not at all
So i said
Who would've thought that dreams come true
Who would've thought i'd end up with you
Who would've thought what they said was true
But it was and you are light and darkness coming through
Na na na na na na an
Who would've thought that dreams come true
Who would've thought i'd end up with you
Who would've thought what they said was true
But it was and you are light and darkness coming through
CASH, CULTURE AND VIOLENCE
He says his power is what's happenin
Well soon he'll be expecting nothing will be stopping him
And to move out for him will be crushin them
And they'll kick plain and simple it's a sin man's game
???? will detect this
And they make sure that you will stand erected
He drives a tricked-out kicked-out tricked- out lexus
Then he looks at the stage and says he can take this
????????? and then one leads in
Well it's so fuckin high that your nose bleeds
They watch while they break the nose of respect
They broke their nose that is correct
The gates of hell are closin in
The victim family are gonna condem him
He said "OHHHHh i don't trust them"
Yeah i'll show them
He stole the jewel of imagination
Cash,culture, and violence
Violence welding and knowledge
Cash,culture, and violence
The writing and the writing on the wing of deception
Cash, culture, and violence
He stole the jewel of imagination
Cash, culture, and violence
Forgin like a rat that plays some strict night
A man named marcus ???? to happen
Bear chronic military federation
Live the dead only to arise again
Oh the delicate scatter, heard the rumble
And the legions on the chimney, run they crumble
Consequently nothing but a concrete jungle
And ohhh i wonder
He stole the jewel of imagination
Cash,culture, and violence
Violence welding and knowledge
Cash,culture, and violence
The writing and the writing on the wing of deception
Cash, culture, and violence
He stole the jewel of imagination
Cash, culture, and violence
The meek are standin, conscience bear
That's the one that they call straight to hell
Psychosymatic, calm down
All your ...
He stole the jewel of imagination
Cash,culture, and violence
Violence welding and knowledge
Cash,culture, and violence
The writing and the writing on the wing of deception
Cash, culture, and violence
He stole the jewel of imagination
Cash, culture, and violence
Cash.... culture......... and violence
COCKTAILS
Broke to toe the line is chocked
Smoke the last dollar to a name
Are you buying
Are you selling girl
Talking square never change
And if i really wanna know
What it means for her to be free
Oh she makes cocktails
In a squat down in avenue city
Yeah lord have mercy
All he get was a fight
He gets shallow so i know
There wont be no fucking rainbow in sight
???
I aint looking for answers
I know nothing is for free
I sure dont want your aspect
I just wanna know whos talking to me
THE WOLF
I didn't trust him, cause he smiled at me first
Just like the wolf before he bites me
And I didn't go there
I swear that it was cursed
Just as if it was to despite me
I got some better things...
Paints a portrait of the suburbs
In the last couple years
A solid lasting image or image of girls
All i ever noticed isolation and pain
Every single day
I did the crusing, a lost cane
Consuming it all
I didn't trust him, cause he smiled at me first
Just like the wolf before he bites me
And i didn't go there
I swear that it was cursed
Just as if it was to despite me
So in the end i saw a sign
I got my self a job
???
I never really thought i could make it all happen
And the anarchist kid don´t gives a fuck about you
I stood up every single time that i fell
It´s just you, it´s just you
Consuming it all
I didn't trust him, cause he smiled at me first
Just like the wolf before he bites me
And i didn't go there
I swear that it was cursed
Just as if it was to despite me
1998
White stones queens 1974
Fathers talking shit mother fucker slammed the door
Hittin the streets runnin cannot take this any more
In the reins of the trains i cuddle on the floor
Well the park bench is cold
Sleeping in the rain
Little kids sittin in the shooting gallery
Set yourself up from manifested mysery
Oh if this is what you want not the way of what they fucking say
Hangin out with sid yet again in the usa
Sidney sidney in the usa
Lower east side 1976
Who's got the dope and who's turning tricks
Should i call a loser just for a fix
Rippen off some lady just to avoid from gettin sick
Oh your life is low and you got no where to go
What the fuck happens to your soul when your low
Is he comin over is he comin home
A mamas disappointed waiting by the phone
Hangin out with sidney yet again in the usa
Sidney sidney in the USA
Same fuckin shit 1998
Lifting bait by the motherfuckers that he hates
Hit some fucking people by the kennedy strait
Who's got the bag gonna seal his fate
By the park bench cold sittin in the rain
Little kids sittin in the shooting gallery
Set yourself up for manifested mysery
Well this is what you want not the way they fucking say
Hangin out with sid yet again in the USA
LADY LIBERTY
Lady Liberty, come down and bleed for me
I want nothing to do with your crazy world
Broken promises, so full of nonsense
Are blanketed by the time
I was all abandoned and alone
From the conscious to the outside to shout it sandanista
Lady Liberty, come down and bleed on me
You want me to believe that the streets are paved in gold
Some tenderness, then the cold hits
And then I come to find that the streets aren't paved at all
From the conscious to the outside to shout it sandanista
From the conscious to the outside to shout it sandanista
From the Kremlin to Afghanistan to our forgotten homes
The orphans in confusion, to discharged refugees
In the fields of poison ivy, through the famine and disease
You bled my loyalty
Lady Liberty, come down and bleed for me
You want me to believe that the streets are paved in gold
Oh, you're telling me, not to worry
About the short-comes of lies
And the high cost of living
From the conscious to the outside to shout it sandanista
From the conscious to the outside to shout it sandanista
WRONGFUL SUSPICION
All right this one goes out to all our friends in new york

Down at the state house
They said i got some rights and i really shouldn't knockit
Down at the state house

Broken bones, broken roles
They can all be fixed oh yeah
So let those who battle with the pen
And the others with the fist its the gospel now
The strong ones will be defiant with words that can convince
You can take this as a role but i 'll take it as a diss
Well they wanta hold me with wrongful suspicion
Down at the state house
And i'm all bundled up in an awkward position
Down at the state house

Down at the state house
And i do feel they got a mental conditioin
Down at the state house

And his new band under the gun madball marky ramone and the intruders
Hey marky go get your fuckin shine box
TURNTABLE
Yeah he's gotta go go get it
He's gotta run run set it
In an otherwise hidden realm
Everybody knows its fuckin wild
And they know frontier unbound
It's not the style though on trial
It's a missile and love invader
Oh come on everybody and let's get together
And ??? the back drop of hate
Well there is no more food on the table
Well once was strong no longer able
And an open mind no longer stable
And it spin like a DJ's turntable
A million eyeballs in a blanket of smog
With no dimensions of sight
A vivid image a billion colors
And towels/towers contrast light
Oh it ain't right another fight
Oh it get's so very clear
With my passion understood
I walk through the fascist ones who really don't care
Well there is no more food on the table
Well once was strong no longer able
And an open mind no longer stable
And it spin like a DJ's turntable
My west up mind has a hard time
Gettin across this trust
Paths of resistance your assistance
You're the one smokin dust
It's not the style though on trial
It's a missile and love invader
Oh come on everybody and let's get together
And ??? the back drop of hate
Well there is no more food on the table
Well once was strong no longer able
And an open mind no longer stable
And it spin like a DJ's turntable

I'm just looking for a place that I can call my home and
Is anybody out there got a soul?
'Cuz I'm just looking for a girl
The girl with a heart of gold
She over turns once again with her champagne Taste
She goes striaght down the rathole with her total reckleeness
Tomorrow will come on through
And I got nothing but a barely mentioned
Nothing but a sillouette girl
Met her in darkness
I say
What have I become?
Now that I'm all alone
I'm just looking for a way to break through these walls and
I'm just looking for a place that I can call my home and

Don't let me be misunderstood
Oh, I'm a downtown member ?
Don't let me be misunderstood
Heart of gold!!!

'Cuz I'm just looking for a girl
The girl with a heart of gold
I said I'm just looking for a girl
The girl with a heart of gold
