R.I.P TIM FARROW
MILITIA LOVE
I MET HER ON THE FIRING RANGE
THE ONLY ONE WHO COULD MATCH MY AIM
I TOOK HER FOR A RIDE WITH ME
SHE LIKED RIDING GUNNER IN MY ATV
SHE TAUGHT ME HOW TO BUILD PIPE BOMBS
WHILE THE NEW WORLD ORDER ROLLS ON AND ON
A BLACK HELICOPTER COULD NEVER BREAK US UP
THEY WANNA TAKE OUR RIGHTS AWAY
STEP IN OUR SECTOR AND WE'LL MAKE YOUR DAY
HIS AND HER GLOCKS ON THE TV TRAY
RPG FOR THE APC
FULL BODY ARMOR STILL LOOKS HOT
BABY BABY GO FOR A HEAD SHOT
A FEW CANS OF GAS THEY COULD NEVER BREAK US UP
WARGAMES ON VALENTINES DAY
BREAKOUT THE CAMOUFLAGE LINGERIE
G GORDON LIDDY ON THE RADIO
BUT THE FEDS CUT THE POWER TWO DAYS AGO
LIVING LIFE LIKE OUR FOREFATHERS
CHRISTIAN STRAPPED HOLLOW POINT CAPS
YOU KNOW THE ATF THEY COULD NEVER BREAK US UP
NIL FACTOR
FROZE WITH PANIC ON A BLOOD RED NIGHT
MORE TRAUMA THAN A FIRE FIGHT
BLACK RUBBER BURNING SPINNING ON THE PAVEMENT
GOD PLEASE KEEP THIS SH*T FROM HYDROPLANING
MOTHERF**KER JUMP THE CURB TAKE ME OUT IF YOU CAN
BUT LEMME LET YOU KNOW THAT I CARRY AND I’M PANICKED
BIPOLAR SCHIZOPHRENIC PARANOID XENOPHOBIC PSYCHO
HAVE DEAD FROZEN IN THE SNOW
I GOTTA STEEL PIN IN MY HEAD AND I BELIEVE IT
MAKES ME CRAZY SO BE IT
IF I HAD THE AUTHORITY I’D PEEL YOUR FACE OFF TO FIND OUT WHAT YOU’RE AFTER
UP ON YOUR A** PUSHING THE POINT
DON’T EVEN BOTHER TRYING TO DODGE THIS JOINT
CUZ I’M TAKING THE CORNERS LIKE A VILLAIN
CROSSING THE LINE YOU KNOW IT’S STRAIGHT KILLING
PUT IT DOWN? NOT UNTIL YOUR ALL DOWN
LIKE I WAS SAYING YOU CAN’T FADE ME CLOWN
CUZ WHAT’S A REP TO A LUNITIC?
PLEAD INSANITY AGAIN AND I’M OUT QUICK
JUSTICE HUH? THAT TERM’S ANCIENT
I BUCK BUCK THE SYSTEM IT’S BULLSHIT
I’M SMOOTH RIGHT THROUGH IT LIKE GRASS TO A SERPENT
AND I’M OUT
CROWBAR SLAMMED ACROSS MY WRIST
I ALWAYS KNEW IT WOULD END LIKE THIS
SENDS THE .38 TUMBLIN TO THE FLOOR
IT WAS ONLY A PROP AND I’LL TELL YOU ONCE MORE
ONE LOOK IN MY EYES IS ENOUGH TO VERIFY
FEEL THE PULSE OF MY POWER
WHEN THE NEEDLE MAINLINES
YOU BETTER GET THAT CAMERA OUTTA MY FACE
CUT AND RUN, COVER UP, CLOSED CASE
WRECKAGE OF A DAY THAT NEVER HAPPENED
GOTTA FIND A WAY TO COME ALIVE AGAIN
SUCCESS
HAVEN'T SHOWERED IN SEVEN DAYS
GOT NO IMAGE TO MAINTAIN
WHY WOULD THEY GIVE A PUNK LIKE ME
30 THOUSAND DOLLARS CREDIT I'M GONNA MAKE 'EM SORRY
CALLED MY BOSS UP ON THE PHONE
TOLD HIM WHAT I THINK OF HIM AND HIS OWN
I COULD NEVER LIKE A JERK LIKE YOU
I DON'T NEED YOUR STINKING DOLLARS CUZ I GIVE UP YEAH
I'M A SUICIDE
I'M A STUPIDFUCK
I'M A CREDIT RISK
I'M AN EMPTY THREAT
I'M A FAILURE
DIDN'T VOTE ON ELECTION DAY
TOO BUSY PLAYING VIDEO GAMES
WOKE UP LATE CHECK THE DAY PLANNER
MONDAY SAYS GO ON A BENDER
RENTS DUE I TOLD THE LANDLORD
I'M ON A PROTEST HUNG UP THE PHONE LAUGHING
THEY'LL NEVER GET ANOTHER DIME
I SWEAR I'D GET MY LIFE TOGETHER IF I ONLY HAD THE DRIVE
I'M A SUICIDE
I'M A FILTHY DRUNK
I'M A PROSTITUTE
I'M A DRUG ADDICT
I'M A FAILURE
I WAS A NUMBER FROM THE BEGINNING
I'M FALLING OFF BUT I'M GOING DOWN SWINGING
THROWING IN THE TOWEL HERE COMES THE SUCKER PUNCH
WHO EVER SAID THERE WAS NO FREE LUNCH
THEY CAN REPOSSESS THE CAR IF THEY CAN FIND THE MOTHERF**KER
LEFT IT DEAD IN A SAN DIEGO GUTTER
STRIP MALL ALCOHOL WITH MY CREDIT CARD DEBT
CAREER THAT FLIES LIKE VALUE JET
INTENSITY
THE RAIN WILL GO AWAY
ITS RESIDUES WILL LAST ANOTHER DAY
BURNING ON THE TEST SITE
IT'S SANCTIONED BUT IS IT RIGHT?
I'M AFRAID THE TIME IS HERE
THE INFRASTRUCTURES FELL TO PIECES
NOW YOU CAN NEVER
YOU CAN NEVER COME IN FROM THE COLD
THIS ROOM HAS NO NUMBER
AND WE HAVE NO ACCOUNTABILITY
YET WE ARE THE ULTIMATE AUTHORITY
WITHIN THESE FOUR WALLS
WHO IS RUNNING YOU?
WHO PULLS YOUR STRINGS?
WHO IS THIS WOMAN?
SHE AIN'T NO PROSTITUTE SO YOU CAN SAVE THAT SH*T
HER RECORDS ARE A FABRICATION
CLEVER AS YOU ARE WE'LL CRACK YOU LIKE AN EGG
WE REPRESENT NO PRESIDENT NO GOVERNMENT OR NATION
BUT THE REAL POWER BROKERS THE ONES WHO RUN THE SHOW
I CAN PICK UP THIS PHONE AND CAUSE A PLANE TO CRASH
WHAT DOES A BUSINESSMAN NEED WITH A STARLIGHT SCOPE
ATTACHED TO AN M-16
PRE-EMPTIVE
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS?
EVER RUN THE POWER-GRID?
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT LIVING DEAD?
LAST TRACE OF LIFE JUST A SKID MARK FADING
ANOTHER ONE HITS THE GROUND
KILL ME QUICK OR LET ME LIVE
THIS MACHINE WON’T LET ME GO
I’M ATTACHED TO IT, TURN IT OFF TURN IT OFF
MOTHER NATURE PLOTS REVENGE
WE BETTER HIT HER WITH A PRE-EMPTIVE STRIKE
IF THERE’S A HOLE IN THE SKY WE CAN USE IT TO ESCAPE
IS THERE A THOUGHT INSIDE MY HEAD?
IS OR NOT IT DOESN’T MATTER TO THE VICTORS
RIFLES HELD ABOVE THEIR HEADS
THEY WOULD GO FOR OUR THROATS BUT THERE IS NOTHING LEFT TO SHUTDOWN
WHATEVER YOU DO DON’T…
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS?
THE SKY A PERMANENT GUN-METAL GREY
WE MEET BEHIND LOCKED DOORS
NO CAMERAS TO SEE OUR FACE
ANOTHER ONE HITS THE GROUND
LEFT COLD WITH A MOUTHFUL OF DUST
WE COULD ESCAPE IF WE STICK TOGETHER
IF ONLY THERE WAS “US”
FUN & GAMES
WAVES AND WAVES OF DISTRESS SIGNALS
DECAYING
HORDES AND HORDES OF THE ENEMY
COLONIZING HEARTS AND MINDS
OCCUPIED
THE REPERCUSSIONS OF THESE ACTIONS
LAST FOR GENERATIONS
AS WE PAT OURSELVES ON THE BACKS AGAIN
WEAPONS SELL BY CRATES AND CRATES
MILITARIZE
WEAPONRY COMES EASILY THESE DAYS
FRIENDS BECOME ENEMIES AGAIN
FREEDOM FIGHTERS OR TERRORISTS
AN ENDLESS STREAM OF BLOODSHED
IT GOES ON AND ON
ANOTHER EMPTY SCENARIO
LETS BREAK OUT THE BOOZE AND HAVE A BALL
IF THAT'S ALL THERE IS
BORN OF SCIENCE
THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE WORLD TODAY
ANOTHER PROBLEM I CANT SOLVE
THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE WORLD TODAY
ANOTHER LINE THAT I CANT CROSS
WE'LL BUILD WALLS AROUND OUR NATION
WE'LL TRY TO FOCUS ALL OUR HATE
IT'S JUST ANOTHER COMPLICATION
TO POINT THIS BARREL AT YOUR FACE
THE GUN THAT STOPPED THE WORLD
ITS KINDA HARD TO SEE THE WORLD
WHEN YOUR LOOKING THOUGH A SHOT GLASS
I GUESS ITS HARD TO GET ALONG
WHEN YOUR TOO BUSY STABBING BACKS
YOU WANNA CUT YOUR OWN THROAT?
I'D TRY TO HELP YOU BUT WHAT'S THE USE
I THINK I'D HAVE TO PULL THIS TRIGGER
JUST TO GIVE MY VOICE SOME JUICE
THE GUN THAT STOPPED THE WORLD
AS WE LIE IN EACH OTHERS ARMS
THE WHOLE COLD WORLD AWAITS US
NO ONE LEFT TO HOLD US DOWN
NO ONE LEFT TO HATE US
ITS OK IF WE ABORT OUR MISSION FOR THE TRUTH
CUZ IT LOOKS LIKE YOU DIED TODAY
AND I GUESS THAT I DID TOO
IT'S ALL A WASH
RIOTSTARTER
200 MILES AN HOUR THE SPEED I MAINTAIN
SNIPERS BULLETS PUMPING THOUGH MY VEINS
NOT THE DAY OF THE JACKEL YOU’LL STILL HEAR THE SOUND
CLICK-CLACK OF MY TRIGGER CUZ WHAT GOES AROUND
COMES BACK HARDER CALL UP THE RIOT STARTER
DUSTIN’ OFF AN INTERNATIONAL REPORTER
ASKING HOW COULD IT BE I THAT WAS A KIA IN ‘79
AND STILL IN ACTION?
I THINK YOU KNOW THE ANSWER
NOBODY KNOWS WHO’S RUNNING YA
SMUGGLED DRUGS OUTTA COLOMBIA
CRACKHOUSE TAC SQUAD PUT THE CUFFS ON ME
I WAS CIA SO THEY SET ME FREE
YOU CAN COUNT THE DRUG WAR DONE
YOU WANNA STOP THIS YOU CAN COME AND GET SOME
MONEY TO BE MADE ARMS FOR HOSTAGE TRADES
NO DEMOCRACY JUST ANTI COMMIE
AMERICAN MONEY
PEACE IS A GAME AND A LOTTA PEOPLE PLAY IT
WITH KNIVES AND GUNS AND I AINT AFRAID TO SAY IT
KEEP DEFENDING YOUR SPACE AND YOU MIGHT GET A TASTE OF THIS
STEALTH BOMBER APOCALYPSE
ENOUGH BIGOTS TO HATE ENOUGH SUCKERS TO PLAY
I THINK YOU’D CUT OFF YOUR NOSE TO SPITE YOUR FACE
A LOTTA MURDER FLOWING FROM YOUR HANDS
DUMP THE KALASHNIKOVS FOR THE 61-M
NEGATIVE
LIVING IN SUBURBIA EVERYDAY
PUNCH DRUNK OFF THE RADIO WAVES
THEY TELL ME WHEN I GROW UP I'LL BE FREE TO GET PAID
WHY DO I FEEL LIKE I'M TRAPPED IN A MAZE
FINAL EXAM SAT THE RIGHT LIST
I AM BIGGER THAN THIS I'M FEARLESS YET FORCED TO SUBMIT
ANOTHER COG IS WHAT THEY NEED
JUST ANOTHER MOTHERF**KER BEEN SCARED TO SUCCEED
I SAY THE YOUTH THEY HAVE NO POWER
I'D SIGN A NON-AGGRESSION PACT IF YOU'D PUT DOWN THE APPARATUS
BUT I'M JUST A SLAVE UNIT WITH THE KILLING FLOOR STATUS
I'D SEND SOCIETY BURNING WHEN MY KILL SWITCH KLICKS
BUT I'M A LITTLE TOO ADDICTED TO THIS
MONEY THE PURSUIT OF CAPITAL GAINS
I'M THE PERFECT COOKIE CUT OUT CAN'T YOU TELL I'M IN PAIN
SCARED TO LOOK OVER MY SHOULDER FOR ALL THE GHOSTS BEHIND ME
CUZ WHEN YOU FAIL YOU FAIL AND NO ONE LIKES A LOSER JERK
I SAY THE YOUTH THEY HAVE NO POWER
LETS TAKE A TRIP TO THE INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT
EVERYTIME I PULL THIS LEVER I GET DEEPER IN THIS
SINKHOLE THAT I CAN'T GET
STRIKEBREAKER EQUALS MONEY AND POLITICAL CLOUT
AND EVERYTIME I LOOK INTO THIS SCREEN
THAT MOTHERF**KER INSIDE TRYING TO CHOKE ME
GOT ME RUNNING ON THE TREADMILL MY FUTURE BEFORE ME
THE PAST IS BUT A DREAM I'M DEAD I'M DEAD
ENEMIES
THE PIECE IS IN HIS HAND
EXTENSION OF HIS ARMOR
I HOVER ABOUT THIS PLACE
WITNESS THE HUMAN DRAMA
BEHIND HIS FACE
A CHAOTIC JUMBLE
WANTS EVERYONE TO KNOW
HIS CROSSED UP WIRES
BUT HE'S INVISIBLE
SUCH THAT HE FLOATS THROUGH DECADES
THE CUFFS ARE OFF
THE CRIME RATES BOUNCE AGAIN
NO HE'S NOT OLD ENOUGH
TO MAKE ADULT DECISIONS
HE'LL FADE AWAY
INSIDE THIS ADULT PRISON
CRIMINALS UNITE
UNITE
ENTIRE CORPORATIONS
BASED ON THE PENAL SYSTEM
YOUTH ACTING OUT AGAIN
CLEAN UP THE COMMUNITY
PACKED TO THE RIM
OUR STORAGE FACILITIES
OUR MEDIA CAMPAIGNS
THEY SCARE THE MARKS TO DEATH
OUTLAWED MARIJUANA
TOO MUCH COMPETITION
BLACK MARKET SEX AND DRUGS
AIDS SPREAD OVERDOSE
GANG WARS OVER PRODUCT
POLICE STATE HEATING UP
YOU THINK YOUR THE EXCEPTION
YOU BETTER THINK AGAIN
CRIMINALS UNITE
UNITE
BLACKJACK
YOU CAN TELL ME HOW TO ACT
BUT I AINT GOING OUT LIKE THAT
YOU CAN TELL ME WHAT TO DO
BUT THIS SYSTEM REJECTED THE FUSE
CUZ I'M A 2 TON TRUCK BARRELING DOWN YOUR ROAD
FUEL INJECTED HAZARDOUS CARGO
I AM KINDA HARD TO FIND AND KINDA HARD TO STOP
I AM A JACK KNIFE BABY AND I'M BLOWING UP
EVERYTIME YOU ROLL THE DICE
IT COMES UP A SEVEN AND YOU LOSE ON THE LINE
SOME PEOPLE THINK THEY CAN CONTROL ME
BUT THEY CRACKED UP FATAL OVER 3000 FEET
I AM A FUGAZI BROADCAST COMMUNIQUÉ
THE WAR IS OVER BUT THE LANDMINES REMAIN
MANIPULATION OF A SACRED TRUST
I AM A LIVE WIRE CROSS AND I'LL BURN YOU UP
9.0 THE RICHTER SCALE
SOME WALK AWAY FROM ME THEY LIVE TO TELL THE TALE
BUT I’LL BE WITH YOU EVERYDAY
HIDING IN YOUR SHADOW WAITING TO ESCAPE
SO I CAN LEAP OUT BLIND AND SNAP YOUR NECK ON THE STREET
OR PUSH YOU INTO THE ARMS OF THE POLICE
YOU WANNA KNOW WHY THE BEST SWIMMERS ALWAYS DROWN?
CUZ I'M A BLACKJACK HONEY AND I'LL PUT YOU DOWN
DIAL M
NO ONE GETS HOTTER KNOWN TO FLOW LIKE LAVA
OR GO OFF LIKE AN M-1 THE ACCIDENT STARTS
ON THE INDUSTRIAL SKIDS WITH THE SCARS ON THEY’RE WRISTS
I SAY WHAT’S UP CUZ I FEEL I COULD EXPLODE ANYDAY TOO
ALL THE STRUGGLE TO GET OVER AND NOBODY CARES
THROW IT STRAIGHT BACK IN THEIR FACE WITH MY SICK ULTIMATUM
TO ALL PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT ARE BREATHING MY AIR
PLEASE FALL OVER AND DIE SO I CAN FIND A PLACE TO PARK
SM MOTHERFUCKING P
DIAL M FOR MURDER
JUST LIKE STARFLEET YOU TALK AND YOU TALK
STEP INTO THIS AIRLOCK YOU’LL SEE THAT OUR PHASERS ARE ON KILL
GIVE ME JUST 20 SECONDS I’LL PUT THIS AT YOUR NECK
SHOULD I PULL THIS TRIGGER OR WATCH YOU SWEAT?
YEAH MOTHERF**KER I’M CALLING YOU OUT MATE
YOU REMIND ME TOO MUCH OF A CHUMP I USED TO TOLERATE
HOW ‘BOUT A RIDE WE CAN BOTH GO DOWN IN FLAMES
WHEN THIS WRECK ROLLS OVER I THINK YOU’LL KNOW WHO TO BLAME
SM MOTHERFUCKING P
DIAL M FOR MURDER
DEPRESSED? BORED? THEY MAKE PILLS FOR THAT SORTA STUFF
BUT THIS ONE IS CRAZY SO GET READY TO DUCK
REMEMBER EVERYTHING BREAKS IF YOU KEEP BANGING ON IT
2 CENTIMETER LEDGE AND I’M STILL HANGING ON IT
THE USELESS ONE THEY CALL THE DEAD RINGER
DISINTEGRATING SUCKERS WITH THE TWITCH OF HIS FINGER
SO CLIMB BACK IN YOUR COFFIN AND PLEASE SHUT THE F**K UP
HAPPY THOUGHTS MERRY CHRISTMAS
RAZED
NEW AGE SCIENCE ACCIDENT
LIQUID MALATHON
OIL SLICKS ON THE SURFACE
UNDERNEATH IS ALL TOO MUCH
MAN WANTS TO CREATE
MAN WANTS TO KILL
MAN WILL MEET HER ENEMY
HER ENEMY IS US
A PRAYER FOR THE SACRIFICE
I GUESS WE OWE THEN THAT MUCH
THE ROAD TO DISCOVERY
IS LINED WITH THE INNOCENT
RECOVERY IMPOSSIBLE
REMISSION UNLIKELY
WHEN THE FUTURE DIGS THIS THEY'LL KNOW
THAT SELFISH IS HOW WE EXPIRED
IF IT DOESN'T WORK
SMASH IT
IF IT DOESN'T FIT
JUST FORCE IT
IF IT GETS OLD
JUST THROW IT AWAY
IF YOU CANT GET ALONG WITH IT
JUST SQUEEZE THIS THING 'TIL THE SH*T IS EMPTY
TORN OUT SHELLS OF FACTORIES
POLLUTION HATCHERIES
RECORDS OF THE PAST
THEY REVEAL AN ABOMINATION
THEY SAY THAT OUR ANCESTORS LIVED CARE FREE
THOSE SELFISH BASTARDS THEY'VE ROBBED US
OF EVERYTHING CUZ EVERYTHING IS RAZED
