Beast Within 02:09
He's always fighting with himself he finds it hard to keep his chin up it would be easy to give in and give up he wonders why he even tries He looks around he ain't got nothing and maybe nothing is gonna show up and he tries hard to keep it inside one of these days, he hopes he doesn't blow up And you know it knocks him down to the ground when he gives in To the Beast Within He's got violence in his mind too many things they start to build up he wants to rip and tear destroy and scare this world give it a wake up He never gets too close to anyone cuz he don't want no one to see it he can't come up with the words to explain it and a part of him wants to be it... And you know it knocks him down to the ground when he gives in To the Beast Within He lets go although he knows better and he always seems to regret it but he loves it when he does it although he knows that he just can't forget it And he knows that it just ain't right and so he fights this endless battle but tings get boring and the Beast is always roaring for some action some satisfaction And you know it knocks him down to the ground when he gives in To the Beast Within
9.

I'm a stand up man don't tell no lies and i see what I see through my own eyes I drink a lot of beer hanging out with my gang is there really any reason to feel any shame? Can you tell me why everything so bad's gotta be so good can you tell me why I just can't do what they say I should Iv'e never known what's best for me the inside of my head is like a raging sea whatever it is I can't figure it out but I like to rock n' roll without a doubt Can you tell me why everything so bad's gotta be so good can you tell me why I just can't do what they say I should I'm drawn to things labeled mean and obscene midnight movies and the street rock scene growing up man, that was all i had and it kept me alive was it really that bad? Can you tell me why everything so bad's gotta be so good can you tell me why I just can't do what they say I should Maybe I'm tougher to entertain cuz i don't like things when they're all the same and you can see what's coming like clouds and rain watered down crap for watered down brains Can you tell me why everything so bad's gotta be so good can you tell me why I just can't do what they say I should

Every Year 02:06
Here come the kids all looking for the truth standing in the shadows of yesterday's youth thinking for themselves they wanna make it on their own every kid is different but he shouldn't walk alone Under the gun from when they're out of school looking for something something to do to keep from the troubles of the poverty line wanna make the money you've gotta do the time Every year every generation the times they are a changing and we don't make the rules every kid in a different situation so many born to have it all so many born to lose... There go the jobs to the ones who had connections the ones with education the ones who played it straight motivated focused, they swarm in like locusts and take all they want leaving nothing on their plate And then the others the rejects, the rockers the ones who never wanted more then they could chew pissed up on the weekend wishing it would never end too much to think about when there's nothing to do Every year every generation the times they are a changing and we don't make the rules every kid in a different situation so many born to have it all so many born to lose... Here comes the future there ain't no place to hide it's waiting on your doorstep and underneath your bed... ain't no way to fake it we've got to try to make it this world will rip your roof away if you can't get ahead We can rant and rave that life just isn't fair but it doesn't make a difference in a world that doesn't care we've got too much pride to fall to far behind no ones gonna see us fall we'll take whatever's there Every year every generation the times they are a changing and we don't make the rules every kid in a different situation so many born to have it all so many born to lose...

For a lot of us it's all we've got For a lot of us it's all we've got Pay no attention to the ones who fly the flag cuz they're trying to be hip or trendy and shrug it off like it didn't mean shit just a fly on the wall for the weekend Punks and Skins I know it's been said so many times but it feels so right the only thing in this place that puts a smile on my face when everything else is fucking shite For a lot of us it's all we've got For a lot of us it's all we've got Bouncing all over the place even landing on your face so fun - you don't give a shit cuz it's here and it's now who gives a fuck how you make a living you are forgiven Do what you must don't leave us in the dust remember, friends are forever the shit that we shout isn't all that we're about if your'e one one of us, man you know better!

24.
Crackdown 01:13
it just gets worse the more that you read it's fucking disgusting it's nasty indeed you'd think that a priest is a man you could trust but there's too many tales of corruption and lust out of the shadows with his wrinkled old squid trying to jam it in somebody's kid how many childhoods has he gone and wrecked? exploited your trust and abused your respect It's hard to believe that it's still going on it boggles the mind that it has all along how can we hold them in such high regard we need to crack down crack down on them hard! The bible tells them to resist all temptation but millions are victims of their degradation nuns ain't no fun - so the whole congregation are out for your kids cuz it's beats masturbation it's time to crack down let's turn up the heat catch them with their pants down and drag them through the street it's time to put a stop to them before they go too far expose them for the perverts that they really are you think this is just a cheap shot at religion? well look in the papers and you'll find a smidgen about another holy man who diddled some kid why lock em em up, why not smash in their heads...
25.
He really wishes he didn't have no need for anyone Do it yer selfer you know it just ain't quite as fun The bars are garbage most of the people in them suck Do it yer selfer once again he's out of luck... He always was the kind of guy that would give anything a shot fun for a while, then bite your tongue and smile when you're watching everything around you rot Can't understand why it's getting out of hand he feels like scum just doesn't get it and when he does he gets it on the run he's gotta get up he's gotta go out and get him some cuz he's a handy man, his loving ain't no sham he just can't seem to fucking stand anyone
26.
Court day got nothing to say you know you're gonna get F'd in the A the whole deal is fucking lame it's your balls - it's their game here comes the judge and he fucking sucks why'd you even dress up? He treats you like a clown he calls you up just to put you down he makes a wise crack ha ha ha out on the street you'd break his jaw here comes the judge and there's plenty of proof that he's a fucking goof All alone you make a stand cuz a lawyer would have cost a grand cat and mouse a song and dance you never even had a chance Here comes the Judge who cares what he thinks he's a fucking DINK!
