Shihad - All The Young Fascists

Fuck the four walls that you stuck with, fuck it
Sure we have difering opinions, well fuck it
Last chance for a dance to lay it low
They talk the talk, talk that the last day's coming
I don't beleive a fucking word of it, nothing
For your kin, fuck your king, right now you should know

They're taking all the colours away
Can't put it back together again
Taking all the colours away
And we will never forgive
And we will never forget

Chop the tree down and replace it with nothing
They kill ideas at the push of a button
Pull your strings, do your things
Your just gods puppet, right?

They're taking all the clolurs away
Can't put it back together again
Taking all the colours away
And we will never forgive
And we will never forget

And they're taking all the colours away
Can't put it back together again
And they're taking all the clolurs away
It's being this way forever, yeah
Taking all the colours away
And we will never forgive
Taking all the colours away
And we will never forget

Fuck the four walls that your stuck with, fuck it
Sure we have difering opinions, well fuck it
Last chance for a dance to lay it low

what no tool fans here?
TooL- Aenema

Some say the end is the near,
Some say we'll see armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will,
I sure could use a vacation
from this bull shit three ring circus
sideshow of freaks
here in this hopeless fucking hole we call L.A.
The only way to cleanse it is flush it all away
Any fucking time, any fucking day.
Learn to swim, see you down in arizona bay.
Fret for your figure
And fret for your latte
And fret for your lawsuit
and fret fret for your hair piece
and fret for your prozac
and fret for your pilot
and fret for your car
Its a bullshit three ring circus
sideshow of freaks,
here in this hopeless fucking hole we call L.A.
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away,
Any fucking time, any fucking day.
Learn to swim see you down in Arizona Bay.
Some say a comet will fall from the sky
Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves
Followed by fault lines that cannot sit still,
Followed by millions of dumbfounded dip shits.
Some say the end is near,
Some say we'll see armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will
I sure could use a vacation from this
Stupid shit, Silly shit, Stupid Shit, silly shit.
One big great festering neon distraction.
I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied
Learn to swim, Learn to swim, Learn to swim.
Mom's gonna fix it all soon,
Mom's coming round to put it back the way it oughta be.
Learn to swim, Learn to swim, Learn to swim.
Fuck L. Ron Hubbard
and fuck all his clones.
Fuck all these gun toting hip gangster wannabes.
Fuck Eco-anything, Fuck your tattoos,
Fuck all you junkies and fuck your short memory.
yeah Fuck smiley glad hands with hidden agendas,
Fuck these dysfunctional insecure actresses.
Cause I'm praying for rain,
I'm praying for tidal waves,
I wanna see the ground give way
I wanna watch it all go down.
Ma please flush it all away,
I wanna see it go right in and down
I wanna watch it go right in,
Watch you flush it all away.
Yeah, Time to bring it down again
Yeah, Don't just call me pessismist,
Try and read between the lines.
I can't imagine why you wouldn't welcome any change, my friend.
I wanna see it come down,
get down,
Suck it down.
Flush it down.

Audioslave - Gasoline

House is haunted
I just want to go for a ride
Out and on
Before I set this room alight
Left alone forever and for crimes unclear
wih my patience gone
Someone take me far from here

Burning that gasoline

New day yawning another day of solitaire
House is honest
clearly more than i bear
Drag me off
Before i set my world on fire
Out and gone the sun will never
Set tonight

Burning that gasoline

NO what for's, only a can
Of red says danger on it
I have found another way
Burning that gasoline

Burning that gasoline


I was listening to it just before I came inside. I have a bitchin' Bose stereo in my Miata. With the top down and the volume cranked, it rattles house windows as I pass.

Tragically Hip - It's a Good Life if You Don't Weaken


When the colour of the night
and all the smoke for one life
gives way to shakey movements,
improvisational skills,
a forest of whispering speakers
let's swear that we will
get with the times,
in a current heath to stay
let's get friendship right
get life day-to-day
in the forget-yer-skates dream
full of countervailing woes
in diverse-as-ever scenes
proceeding on a need-to-know
in a face so full of meaning
as to almost make it glow

O' for a good life, we just might have to weaken
and find somewhere to go
go somewhere we're needed
find somewhere to grow
grow somewhere we're needed.

Interpol - Slow Hands

Yeah but nobody searches
Nobody cares somehow
When the loving that you’ve wasted
Comes raining from a hapless cloud
And I might stop and look upon your face
Disappear in the sweet, sweet gaze
See the living that surrounds me
Dissipate in a violet place

Can’t you see what you’ve done to my heart
And soul?
This is a wasteland now

We spies
We slow hands
Put the weights around yourself
We spies
Oh yeah we slow hands
You put the weights all around yourself now




I submit my incentive is romance
I watched the pole dance of the stars
We rejoice because the hurting is so painless
From the distance of passing cars
But I am married to your charms & grace
I just go crazy like the good old days
You make me want to pick up a guitar
And celebrate the myriad ways that I love you

Can you see what you’ve done to my heart
And soul?
This is a wasteland now

We spies
Yeah we slow hands
You put the weights around yourself
We spies
Oh yeah we slow hands
Killer, for hire you know not yourself

We spies
We slow hands
You put the weights all around yourself
We spies
Oh yeah we slow hands
We retire like nobody else
We spies
Intimate slow hands killer
For hire you know not yourself
We spies
Intimate slow hands
You let the face slap around herself

[Mog]

Being in my thirties, my mind is full of unsubtle political songs of the 80's such as this one:
Open Your Eyes/Lords of the New Church

Video games train the kids for war. Army chic in high-fashion
stores. Law and order's done their job. Prisons filled while
the rich still rob. Assassination politics. Violence rules
within' our nation's midst. Well ignorance is their power tool.
You'll only know what they want you to know. The television
cannot lie. Controlling media with smokescreen eyes. Nuclear
politicians picture show. The acting's lousy but the blind don't
know. They scare us all with threats of war. So we forget
just how bad things are. You taste the fear when you're all
alone. They gonna git'cha when you're on your own. The silence
of conspiracy. Slaughtered on the altar of apathy. You gotta
wake up from your sleep. 'Cause meek inherits earth...six feet
deep.
Open your eyes see the lies right in front of ya.
Open your eyes.....

Shihad - Day will come

Bodies for the flow
Day will come, day will come
Fodder for the show
Day will come, day will come

The little hitler shout
We'll send the boys in to sort you out

And the whole world's to blame
For fealing the same
Don't be stupid
It's not that simple

Your highness, theres no doubt
Your a liar and we want you out
Out out out

And the whole world's to blame
For fealing the same
Don't be stupid
We're only human

Boddies for the flow
Day will come, day will come
Fodder for the show
Day will come, day will come

One day it will all fall down
We fall over
We follow

Shihad - The General Electric

You better run as fast as you can
Cos the passengers not a happy man
Start running just as fast as you can

You say you nead a friend, hey so do I
But this passengers just passing by
Passengers just passing by

At your age and stage you should understand
But you dont care you got a master plan -
Fuck fuck fuck em all, and take what you can

A freazing cold stare and a click of the eye
Passengers just passing by
Passengers just passing by
Passengers just passing by

To wlak on water you'd sink in the ice
To walk on water you'd sink in the ice
To walk on water you'd sink in the ice
To walk on water you'd sink in the ice

Your holding everything inside
Your holding everything inside
Your holding everything inside
Your holding everything inside

Dont it feal good just to be alive
Still holding everything inside

You don't know what you want
So you take what you can
Still don't make you a happy man
Start running just as fast as you can

A freezing cold stare and the flick of the eye
Passengers just passing buy

To walk on water you'd sink in the ice
To walk on water you'd sink in the ice
For all things gained there's a sacrifice
To walk on water you gotta sink in the ice

Your holding everything inside
Your holding everything inside
Your holding everything inside
Your holding everything inside

And don't it feal just good to be alive
Don't it feal just good to be alive
Your still holding everything inside

And you don't know what you want
And you don't know what you want
Do you know what you want?
What do you want?

Your holding everything inside
[your still holding]
Everything inside

Shihad - Empty Shell

All the fables that you know
Light em up and watch em blow
So forget what you've been told
Evolutions calling...
But you bury the truth and bury it well

Empty shell (explode)
Emplty shell (it's starting to show)

All the fables that you know
Light em up and watch em blow
So forget what you've been told
Evolutions calling...
But you bury the trith and bury it well

All the damage that you sow
Is coming back so watch it grow
When you think you have it all
Evolutions calling!

All the fables that you know
Light em up and watch em blow
So forget what you've been told
Evolutions calling...
But you bury the truth and bury it well

Your fable hell is raining down apon you
Wait for your fable sky to fall
And life goes grinding on
Like a month of fucking sundays...

By Demons Be Driven

By Pantera

Serving the faith
Abduction the oath
It lie in wait for the offering
Religion is old
For drawing the young
Purity withers and dies
Never return to the ones that provided
Children draining parents of will
I hold out my hand to bloodless child
I'm taken by the one I was saving
From death

[Chorus]
By demons be driven
Beckon the call

With decline in mind
End not far
We're left hanging alone here
He pulls us from nails
Shatters our bones
Leaving us crippled and strewn
Boiling my corpse in the blood of his children
Praying for his god to prevail
Burying us with loved ones
To sleep with shelled children of the sixth dimension

[Chorus]

Ready To Die

By Andrew W. K.

This is your time to Pay,
This is your Judgement Day.
We made a Sacrifice,
And now we get to take your life.
We shoot without a Gun,
We'll take on Anyone.
It's really nothing new,
It's just a thing we like to do.

[Chorus]
You'd better get Ready to Die,
(Get ready to Die).
You'd better get Ready to Kill,
(get ready to Kill).
You'd better get Ready to Run,
Coz,
Here we come.
You'd better get Ready to Die,
(Get Ready to Die).

Your life is over now,
Your life is running out.
When your time is at an End,
Then it's time to Kill again.
We Cut without a Knife,
We live in Black and White.
You're just a Parasite,
Now close you're eyes and say Good Night.

[Chorus]
You'd better get Ready to Die,
(Get ready to Die).
You'd better get Ready to Kill,
(get ready to Kill).
You'd better get Ready to Run,
Coz,
Here we come.
You'd better get Ready to Die,
(Get Ready to Die).
You'd better get Ready to Die,
Get Ready to Die,
Get Ready to Die,
Get Ready to Die.
You'd better get Ready to Die,
Get Ready to Die,
Get Ready to Die,
Get Ready to Die.
You'd better get Ready to Die,
Get Ready to Die,
Get Ready to Die,
Get Ready to...
If we're not,
Not coming,
Then you better get Running,
And you'd better get Ready to Die.

Gary Jules - Mad World

All around me are familiar faces,
Worn out places,
Worn out faces.

Bright and early for the daily races,
Going no where...
Going no where.

Their tears are filling up their glasses,
No expression...
No expression.

Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow,
No tomorrow...
No tomorrow.

And I find I kind of funny,
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had.

I find it hard to tell you,
I find it hard to take.
When people run in circles its a very very mad world.
Mad world.

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday...
Happy birthday.

And I feel the way that every child should,
Sit and listen...
Sit and listen.

Went to school and I was very nervous,
No one knew me...
No one knew me.

Hello teacher, tell me, what’s my lesson?
Look right through me...
Look right through me.

And I find I kind of funny,
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had.

I find it hard to tell you,
I find it hard to take.
When people run in circles it's a very very mad world.
Mad world.

Enlarging your world,
Mad world.

Take My Life - Third Day

How many times have I turned away
The number is the same as the sand on the shore
But every time You've taken me back
And now I pray You do it once more.

Chorus:
Please take from me my life
When I don't have the strength
to give it away to You Jesus

How many times have I turned away
The number is the same as the stars in the sky
But every time You've taken me back
And now I pray You do it tonight.

Chorus:
Please take from me my life
When I don't have the strength
to give it away to You Jesus

Gog - The Spine

And it was the new music
And it was timid and humble and stern
It was brown and light brown and sepia
And it was almost forgotten
It lays on the side of a road
You and i drove along once
And it was happy to lie there daydreaming
It stretched of into the distance
Further than you ever thought possible
And it didn't give a fuck about you and i either way...

We're into all of those and it's into overload
We're into all of those (our time) and it's into overload

Shot down the road lets see you number
Wake up shoppers from your slumber
Jackpot lotterry got bonanza
Saionara propoganda
Side by side they got the price right
Cut to add break urban fist fight
Insserection on a freeway
Turn around and go the wrong way
I cant hear you!

Shot down the road lets hear your number
Wake up shoppers from your slumber
Jackpot lottery got bonanza
Saionara propoganda
I cant hear you!

Overload forgot to mention
Chain reaction in detention
September sylum contridiction
Loss of limb is causing friction
Inssurection on a freeway
Turn around and go the wrong way
I'm a servant in this palice
So corrupt and out of balance
I can't hear you

Shot down the road lets see your number
Wake up shoppers from your slumber
Inssurection on a freeway
The around and go the wrong way
The wrong way
The wrong way...

Shiahd - Pacifier

You fealing good today
Cause i got told that you were
Smashed up on your own motorway
I was the first apon the scene
A life support machine
But still no collapse
As if you were an accidental star

Do you know what time it is
Is it messing with your mind kid
Are you hurting all the time
And you nead a pacifier
Come on lets take a look inside

Dont look so worried
You know there aint no hurry
Cause life's supposed to ebb and flow
Now you're all clear to go
And when you're out there
No they can't catch you
You are the best at what you are

And do you know what time it is
Is it messing with your mind kid
Are you hurting all the time
And you nead a pacifier
Come on lets have a look inside

You feeling good today
Cause i got told you were
Smashed up on the motorway
The first apon the scene
A life support machine
But still no collapse
As if you were an accidental star

Cause life's supposed to ebb and flow
Now you're all clear to go
And when you're out there
No they can't touch you
You are the best at what you are

And do you know what time it is
Is it messing with your mind kid
Are you hurting all the time
And you nead a pacifier
Come on lets take a look inside

Cause life's supposed to ebb and flow
