A Global Threat – Here We Are
There’s a 15-minute fad rule
They’re seven inches late
Here we are, too hard, too fast!
And I’m just the cynic to tell you
It just dont move me at all
Bubblegum punk trying to cater
To a crowd WITHOUT ANY BALLS!
Here we are, too hard, too fast!
And we don’t need a fashion injection
Or a sales slip to tell us we’re right
You look like a band tagged wall
And we dont need your sponsers
To tell us what we like
Never mind that disease
HERES SOME REALITY!!
Here we are, too hard, too fast… too bad!
Here we are, too hard, too fast!
And if you’re not I hope you dont last
Cause I’m sick of watered down shit
You’re on the wrong side
So fuck off and die!
>> Mind Bomb
You’ll listen if I shout
Who cares what it’s about?
Another thing that I don’t need
Your bible’s my record sleeve
I’m in your ear, then out your mouth
Mind bomb, the next is you
Rolls off your tongue, an easy out
Mind bomb, the next is you
On a site to check the scene
Is what you say still what you mean?
Selling cream for teenage jean
They’re all still IDLE THREATS
Cause if a brick’s been thrown
I haven’t seen
It’s in your head and out your mouth
Mind bomb, the next is you
Rolls off your tongue, but what are you about?
Mind bomb, the next is you.
Flags wave above a stagnant dream
There’s ugly faces and patched fatigues
Don’t mess around, We’ve got it,
nothing left to explore
Do you feel the same thing now that you did before?
Did it already get you?
>> Out In The Dark
Seems like so many nights
Get the 66 while dusk kills the light
Go ahead and swill two in the back
Looking down on a Cadillac
Catch the headliners first note
Have a drink on someone you know
Stroke of midnight your friends turn a blur
Life seems like shit,
all you think of is her and…
I’m all out in the dark
The corner clock on the walk strikes four
It’s quarter of five when
I fall through the door
I’m all out in the dark
Anything you want, or anything you need
So go and sniff your way around
Cause it’s getting hard to see
The smoke will never clear
And once you’re here you’ll never leave
And that pounding, spinning, twitching
You should watch what you eat!
Looks like a blue sky tonight
To twenty eyes it’s a familiar sight
Crawl in the sack at sunrise on the mark
Now I want blood cause when I wake
Again it starts
>> Bloody Red Eyes
punching out and closing up
lets run amok the eve
pour some cups but they won’t shut up
so theres piss in their listerine
and now weve gotta leave
punching out and closing up
we’ll all meet at the park
boom-box blast and shattered glass
sound out in the dark
then someone’s gotta start
punching out and closing up
we’ll hang out just for a few
bored or boring no one’s out
there’s nothing else to do
and everything’s old news
hit the sheets, hate the spins
tomorrow i’ll wake up again
today was such a sight
for bloody red eyes
>> Living Dead
hungry from the pain nothing in your brain
alive again from the acid rain
crawl out of the sewer drain
we’re animated skeletons
it’s everyday life that keeps us zombified
we build out own doomsday
looking for some fun with eyes for everyone
gotta break out of this daze
cause we’re the living dead
eat what you’ve fed, working living dead
go home to your box
lying in the dark, you know you played the part
you broke your back if you can’t walk away
wish you could live it up
born spoon in mouth but i guess you’re stuck
it’s a great time to be buried alive
will you dig your way out?
you’re living dead
and if these dead walk
these gravestone blocks
the survivors might see the night
that they lose their life
and they’ll be the living dead
>> Invite A Coroner
no one’s a gas like the living dead
set to mate their own brain and lead
pull you past your breaking point
smile’s sinister, hear their creaking joints
carry on when i’m gone
say you want a little fun
a ghastly blast on the kid with the gun
this crazy thing, well its no act
“oh what a night” reads his epitaph
carry on when i’m gone
set on this path since the day he was born
it’s a last ditch laugh so invite a coroner
>> So Paranoid
A Global Threat
So Paranoid
hearing sounds at your front door
do they think you don’t watch out anymore?
will they come and take what’s yours?
all the houses look the same
and do they even know your name?
or these sounds just an a.m. train
you get so paranoid, I get so paranoid
we get so paranoid, ’cause we’re stuck
inside this fucking void
it’s society and we can’t avoid it
don’t tell me you can
so go ahead and say you don’t trust me
’cause i’m not apart of your polity
and I don’t care what you think of me
still in this city we all seem insane
and I don’t think I wanna know your name
’cause when they come for us
we’ll all be the SAME
>> Blow You Away
they’ve got you and your next move
push buttons for the army
block bullets for the rich
a stupid game, sit back and wait
for the day they decide to…
BLOW YOU AWAY
now you’re no more
hang by, they won’t feel us die
hold a shovel for the city
push a pencil for the state
still the same, the bombs will rain
down on YOU some day
and… BLOW YOU AWAY
BLOW YOU AWAY
now you’re no more
so we all die
but who survives
safe below are suits and ties!
loneley evil breathing guys
first lady’s up
fucked for god and buck
or is it just dumb luck
BLOW YOU AWAY
and they’ll blow me away
does it matter anyway…
I’ll do it first or they’ll laugh last
>> Bury Your Parents (mommy,daddy)
cocktail stains on your G.Q. slacks
you’ll show you’re clever
go blow some lingo out your ass
libido takes over all the shit you learned in school
techno bass beats in your brain
all thoughts turn to drool
mommy, daddy, look at me
you decided what i’m going to be
i’ll pull together and slip through the cracks
’cause we all know grads are the last to get sacked
so i bought a pill that brings the joys
of unconscious girls and no conscience boys
impress them first with my expensive toys
they come and go on their corduroys
mommy, daddy, will you help me?
do I need psychotherapy?
am I worth the money spent?
or did I break your bank
on the rules I bent?
mommy, daddy, will you help me?
mommy, daddy, i’m out of money
mommy, daddy, don’t know where it went
mommy, daddy, pay my rent
>> There’s You Threat
knock down our cemetery plot
we must have gave what we got
guess NYSE and them just weren’t that
but the butcher cut the wrong fat
better shop and save up cures
deadbolt all the doors, there’s your threat
maximum told us to shove it
six o’clock anchors said they were right
’till time ran out for their kind
now it seems anyone on the fence before
skipped a thousand paces to knock on
a far side’s door
is that why i’m face down in bed
TV in a fuzz
don’t you wish it would go back to like it was?
is that selfish of us?
better shop and save up cures
deadbolt all the doors
>> Sirens
I hear an echo ringing through the corridor
somewhere a fire burns while rain begins to pour
did somebody slip up, did someone hit the floor?
they say it’s too late now
I hear them calling out
it’s just sirens
you pass yourself as you’re walking down the street
it’s in all our heads, it’s better you than me
so pinch your pennies ’cause life is far from free
they say it’s too late now
I hear them calling out
it’s just sirens
>> Lab Rat
no open arms just an open mouth
i guess im supposed to prove myself
you’ve been here and there and i don’t care
but with any response i draw a stare
not gonna feel like your lab rat
in a rut again, they’ll offer you twenty
when they know you cant payback ten
subtract the interest from your worth
they cuffed you to your job at birth
not gonna feel like your lab rat
im sick of this tease and flirt
sick of boring snobs in skirts
time to hit the bricks and have a laugh
so don’t show unless youve got some class
im not gonna feel like your lab rat
>> On The Clock
buzzing blaring through my skull
the sun is up but i can’t tell
sneak the covers down my nose
eyes are sore gotta keep ’em closed
call in, no i’ve gotta go
its quarter past the buzz was slow
on the clock
down vacant walks i trudge and stumble
can collector catch me mumble
this stupid job won’t pay it’s dues
gotta cuff their stuff for gain
cause minimum wage isn’t much to lose
bussing blaring through your skull
the turnover rat is high in hell
pass the torch back and forth
sorry mom, but i quit that job
>> Bloody, Red Eyes
punching out and closing up
lets run amok the eve
pour some cups but they won’t shut up
so theres piss in their listerine
and now weve gotta leave
punching out and closing up
we’ll all meet at the park
boom-box blast and shattered glass
sound out in the dark
then someone’s gotta start
punching out and closing up
we’ll hang out just for a few
