1. You'd Do The Same

You think you're oh so 
different 
Well, you'd do the same as 
me, yeah 
You're just a hypocrite 
When you make fun of me 
You'd do the same 
Well, you've done it now 
You've blown your ride 
Wasting your time 
Is all your time 
You'd do the same 
Don't look down 
You'd do the same

2. You Got To Die For Your Government

You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your 
government? 
Die for your country? That's shit! 
There's a gulf war vet, dying a slow, cold death 
And the government says, "We don't know the source of 
his sickness." 
But don't believe what they say, because your government is lying 
They've done it before and don't you know they'll do it again 
A secret test, government built virus 
"Subject Test Group: Gulf Battle Field Troops" 
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government? 
Die for your country? That's shit! 
First World War veterans, slaughtered, by General Eisenhower 
You give them your life, they give you a stab in the back 
Radiation, agent orange, tested on U.S. soles 
Guinea pigs for western corporations 
I never have, I never will 
Pledge allegiance to their flag 
You're getting used, you'll end up dead 
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your 
government? 
Die for your country? That's shit! 
I don't need you to tell me what to do 
And I don't need you to tell me what to be... FUCK YOU! 
I don't need you to tell me what to say 
And I don't need you to tell me what to think! What to think! 
What to think, what to think, what to think, think, think, think! 
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your 
government? 
Die for your country? That's shit!

4. Rotten Future

All you punkers with your 
No Future dreams 
Follow Johnny Rotten and 
all our preset beliefs 
Following society be what 
they want you to be 
Drunk and Quiet 
"there's No Future for me" 
IMPATIENCE with society 
BE WHAT they want you to be 
IMPATIENCE "there's No Future here" 
"I'm not lazy I just don't care" 
Of course there is No Future when 
you make sure there is none 
Impatience "time is wasting, 
there is No Future to be won" 
If you truly don't care, 
then why talk No Future 
Excuses hang like a noose 
"I've given up I just don't care" 
IMPATIENCE with society 
BE WHAT they want you to be 
IMPATIENCE "there's no future here" 
"I'm not lazy I just don't care" 
Of course you'll bring no change 
when you sit home on your couch 
We need to stand up and fight 
bring our future to a start 
We can change anything just as 
long as we take the time 
Generations, generations, generations... 
they're not the same

5. Safe Tonight

You know I feel so violent, just want to break some glass. 
Every day I pray it'll be my last. 
Turning to a blank wall wondering what to do? Turning to a caliber .22 
Every day he starts the same old fight. And every day it just gets worse by night 
If I hit the streets I think I'll be alright. But until I do, I won't be safe tonight... 
Safe Tonight 
Every day I remember all that led to this. 
And every day don't you know I get a little more pissed 
Banging on myself because I just don't care. There's nothing left for me back there 
He's twisted and violent, I don't know what to do. 
I left there for the streets last night 
Thinking only of you, be safe tonight 
Safe Tonight 
It all falls down on me, like a baseball bat. It hurts me, haunts me, hurts me, haunts me 
I never want to go back. I'm twisted tonight, and I don't know what to do? 
I'm twisted tonight. I want to be with you. I want to be with you. 
I want to be with, be with, be with, be with 
you...

6. Red White and Brainashed

They use the flag to control us 
Brainwashed us to be their patriotic slaves 
Program our minds by controlling what we learn 
The only difference from the nazis is that 
Someone tried to stop them 
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED 
The government says they're working for us 
Just as long as we increase their pay 
But the minute that they get in office we're a has-been 
A yesterday 
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED 
The red stands for the blood of all the people 
we've slain 
The white for this racist, bigoted foundation 
The blue for your aryan eyes -- all empty 
Empty because you're taught to bow down to the man 
"Fly that flag, that flag of freedom" 
"Do what you can for your country" 
Go and fight their wars for them 
"They're not following in our footsteps, 
KILL THEM!" 
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED 
They call that being a patriot 
I just call it ignorant 
If you don't fight to make things better 
Then you're the one betraying our country 
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED

7. Davey Destroyed the Punk Scene

He thinks because he's got spikes on his 
leather, that he's the punkest, he thinks 
he's better! He walks around with his 
nose in the air, the only thing bigger 
than his ego is his hair 
He thinks that uniform he's wearing is a 
good excuse for his snobby glaring 
Davey destroyed the punk scene 
He thinks that uniform he's wearing, 
makes him a punk, yeah 
Davey destroyed the punk scene 
I don't know when punk became a uniform, 
I always thought uniforms were 
for the army 
But I guess he's got punk rock 
hair, he's paid a fortune for his gear 
Davey destroyed the punk scene 
He thinks that uniform he's wearing, 
makes him a punk, yeah 
Davey destroyed the punk scene 
We've got to try to stick together Oi! 
Oi! We're not supposed to fight each 
other Oi! Oi! Stand against the government 
but stand up for ourselves Oi! Oi! 
If this ignorance continues punk will be 
lost on the book shelves 
What happened to punk rock kids uniting, 
now we're competing, now we're 
fighting. He drives the younger kids away, 
sacrificing us for his image, punk rock 
kids will pay 
Davey destroyed the punk scene 
He thinks that uniform he's wearing, 
makes him a punk, yeah 
Davey destroyed the punk scene 
Davey...YOU FUCKING SUCK!!!

8. Summer Squatter Go Home

Disclaimer: This song address the issue of kids who come into your scene 
and falsely proclaim themselves to be squatters when in reality they do 
nothing more than fuck the scene up until it becomes boring to them or 
it gets cold. Thus, the lyric, "Summer squatter go home." This song is 
not about those who try to undermine society by squatting as an 
alternative life style. 

Go home, go home 
Squatter go home 
I think I hear your Mommy callin' 
On your cellular phone 
She said your dad wants his car back 
So you'd better go home 

Squatter go home (4x) 
Go home, go home 
Squatter go home 

You got no money for the punk rock show 
It's delegated for a beer and a ho 
Spitting, pissing, cumming, and shitting 
So you have cool clothes 

Squatter go home 

I see you sittin' on the boulevard with your tired and pissed off stare 
Tellin' everyone your hard luck story, and what landed you here 
You think of mommy and of daddy out in their safe suburban home 
And you know that's where you're gonna be when you start to feel the cold 

I'm saying poser go home 
Poser squatter go home 
Summer squatter go home 
Poser squatter go home 

Squatter go home (4x) 
Summer squatter go home

9. She's My Little Go-Go Dancer

I was talking to this girl before a show 
Does she like me? I don't know 
I asked her to go out on Saturday night 
She said "OK that would be alright" 

Then she left she had to go to work 
She gave me her number and said, "I feel like a 
jerk." 
I asked her if she'd dance for a song 
She said she'd be dancing all night long 

She's my little go-go dancer (x3) 
She's my little fast kids Go-Go-Go 

She didn't tell me she danced in a cage 
Hanging high above the stage 
I worked my way with a push and a shove 
Before I knew I knew it I was in love 

I waited every second until Saturday night 
I took her to dinner things were going alright 
Then we went out dancing went to have some fun 
We danced and we danced - danced all night long 

She's my little go-go dancer (x3) 
She's my little fast kids Go-Go-Go

10. Police State In The U.S.A

The Berlin Wall falls in the East 
The West claims triumph, "We've really got 'em beat!" 
Politicians from the West claim the police state's dead 
But what about the police state in the West? 
 Police State in the U.S.A 
The government controls everything you do 
With the police and the feds watching over you 
You try to stand against them and you'll end up dead 
As your front door is smashed in by the ATF 
Police state in the USA 
Your television screen shows the feds most wanted 
But do you truly know why these men are being hunted? 
It's a big brother state it's the same as the East 
The cops protect the rich and the corporate elite 
Police state in the USA

11. Punk By The Book

Covered in leather, or plaid patches, or metal studs 
Your hair is dyed or spiked with glue 
You only talk to those who look and act the way you do 
Cause you think you're so fucking cool 

Punk. Punk. Punk. 
Punk by the book. 

You say that punk to you is what's in your mind not what you 
wear, but you know you're so full of shit 
You scoff at how the cops treat you, but they're no worse than 
dicks like you! I just can't understand what you're thinking. 

Punk. Punk. Punk. 
Punk by the book. 

You're punk by the book... Hey! Hey! 
You're punk by the book! Book!

12. Fuck Police Brutality

A bunch of punks hangin' out on the streets before a show. 
Patty wagon pulls up -instinct- "Run man, let's just go!" 
Cop chases them through the streets and then they go inside 
They run into a show where maybe they can hide 
FUCK POLICE BRUTALITY 
He hides just standing in the crowd 
there's nowhere he can run 
The cop comes up behind him and he cracks him with a gun. 
Drags his bloody ass outside and throws him to the ground. 
"There's no where left to take you boy, you're already downtown." 
FUCK POLICE BRUTALITY 
But the cops can do no wrong. 
They can kill, they can rape, they can do what they want, 
but the cops can do no wrong. 
We've got to fight, take back the night, 
the cops are just like Hitler's Third Reich, 
do what they want. 
Who do we fear? Who do we trust? How do we know?

13. I'm Being Watched By The CIA

They said there's drug dealers selling on my street 
Those fuckers capped me three times in the feet 
I've got two slugs embedded in my chest 
Two hollow points from the nations best 

I'M BEING WATCHED BY THE CIA 

They call me on the phone when I'm home alone 
They ask for the Marines but they're just a bunch of whores 
They spend their money on hotels just so that they can tell 
Tell Mr. President that I'm jerking off 

I'M BEING WATCHED BY THE CIA!!!

14. Kill The Rich

A billionaire chatting with his friend, they’ve gotta stop to laugh 
"We’ve really got those suckers fooled we’ve go them trained like rats!" 
The riches plot, control your thoughts, to make you blame yourself 
"The rich are rich because they’re smarter than me..." 
You’re taught this is right, that it’s your fault 
KILL, KILL, KILL!!! 
They throw a war like a party saying, 
"It’s for a moral cause..." 
Telling you if your a patriot that, 
‘YOU BETTER DO WHAT YOUR TOLD!" 
You burn a flag, you’re gonna hang, brainwashed nationalism 
makes you a tool 
They’re getting rich by selling weapons to both countries, you 
never think to question what you’re told! 
KILL,KILL,KILL!!! 
They’re gonna give you nothing 
They want to take way the little they call something 
You know you’re being used but still you play along 
If you’re not complacent, 
you’re doing something wrong 
One day they’ll push too far that marks the beginning 
of their end 
We’ll bring them crashing down til they’re all dead, they’re all dead, 
they’re all dead! 
The time is growing near... Put the trigger to the man... Ok, kill ‘em!

15. No More Dead

Why don't you come over here and see what you have created 
It'll make you laugh so hard you'll cry 
And lookin' into the black you made me so far past sick 
Lookin' into your eyes I wish you'd die. 

No more dead  X2 

Well I've seen the crosses burnt and holy 
And the people they all come down they're screaming, 
"Hey man, it's a fix!" 
And I looked into the cause in which, you were striving towards; 
And I thought, thought of the wasted, wasted youth... 

No more dead  X2 

He's lying all alone. His life is stolen, yes it's gone 
Into the black of night can't you see it was no fault of his own 
Trapped into a ghetto, bred into a slum, killing his own instead 
of rich white men 
And he's never gonna escape from it now, 
because it's over, and he's dead 
The end.

16. Confused Youth

She's always askin' him what he wants to do 
How many times does he have to say, he's fuckin' confused 
He'd run away but there's nowhere to run 
Why do they try to conform us we just wanna have fun 

We gotta fight fight fight 
Fight for our Youth 
Confused Youth 

"Why don't you go to school? You need to grow up" 
They're so infatuated like growing up is something you shoot up 
Some girls my age they want to have a baby 
Some of them they wanna get married... They're fuckin' crazy 

We gotta fight fight fight 
Fight for our Youth 
Confused Youth 

Adults like to bring us up to be and act like them 
If we don't act alike discard and try again 
There is no room deep in their eyes for an individual 
"Conform" and "stand in line" make sure you fit the mold 
It's alright to grow old. To mature and become wise 
too bad all they seem to want is to die of ignorance 

"Straighten your back, straighten your face and lose your grin" 
"It's time to be serious, think hard but always give in" 
"You are the inferior, open your eyes and close your mouth" 
"Grow up to be just like me watch and follow with no doubt" 

Train children just like your dog 
"Try not to get in the way" 
"When I talk to you should obey" 
"Try not to get in the way" 

It's not a war 
What you are fighting for 
Life's not a war 
There's no need to conform 

We need help but not every day 
There's no need to, no need to use force 
We need help but not in every single way 
We don't need utter control 

"Why don't you go to school? You need to grow up" 
Like growing up is something that you just shoot up 
All of us we'd run away, but where would we go? 
Just loosen your grip on our leash you don't have to let go 

We gotta fight fight fight 
Fight for our Youth 
Confused Youth
