1,2,3,4
I hold the cold steel of my rifle as I dream of foreign lands,
and I promise myself I will cherish every moment I can,
but there's ghosts that follow me around everywhere I am.
When i say 'goodbye' I try to be strong.
now I'm going back to the U.S. where I belong.
I am never alone, the war seems to follow me home.
no longer an active soldier when i walk down the street.

Lets go down town
Tell me what your seeing
Tell me what it's like
To get that old cold feeling
Spend all night just looking at the ceiling
Living in a blown out hotel building
All the machines are broken down
It's a narrow path
Between evil and good
Watch the strong man
In his decline
Another man dying
Is misunderstood

All I see is Damnation
Whole worlds gone to hell [x2]

Don't see things

Where's my girl
Where has she gone
She once was
Beautiful and Innocent
I can't believe
In what she says
I look at her
And she looked the other way

Disconnected, From feeling alright
Disconnected, And it ain't black and white
Disconnected, There's a sword through the dove
Disconnected, From the country I love

I remember you
When you we young and strong
In your summer dress
and legs so long

hey wait for me....

Hey ho, let the bombs blow,
let the dominoes fall I ain't got control
Hey ho, let the bombs blow,
let the dominoes fall I ain't got control

no no no no no no nah nah nah I ain't got control
no no no no no no nah nah nah I ain't got control

No control the destiny, wake me up to reality
I can just see anarchy and there ain't no telling whose in charge here

Another East Bay Night
east bay night east bay night east bay night

When the sun goes down and the night
come around and the fog come a rollin in
When you cast a line to go dance one time
and an old friend invites you in hear
a punk rock song and we sing along
everything gonna be alright

Another East Bay Night
east bay night east bay night east bay night

I ain't worried about a god damn thing
I hear them talking. I ain't listening
Listening
How many times did you tell me I was wrong
But I didn't listen to you and I only stayed strong
In a world where people don't hang on too long
I belong - I belong
Prove me wrong - Prove me wrong
I ain't worried about a god damn thing
I hear them talking. I ain't listening
Listening

1951 Small town kids
got nothing to do
But dream all night
of movie stars and Cadillac cars
And beautiful girls
and big city lights

LA River dragnet coming down
LA River dragnet coming down

From every corner
of this great old nation
Good kids succumb
to the depths of temptation
Homecoming queens
get lost in the cracks
and Quarter Back Heroes
Get strung out on Smack

Everybody saying we gotta take a chance
And telling me what the hell went wrong
We only listen to the words that we sing
Now a million are singing along

(Last one)
We got it right, you got wrong,
Were still around (Last one to die)
Were going up, youre going down
Were still around (Last one to die)

The ones that counted us out
Regret that they packed the fight

out in the open they aint gonna hide police
state upon us prepare to collide
theyre gonna keep you down step on your
neck cant move no more the weapon of their
choosing is censorship and war and i can see
the line up now everyone is just partisan
you see one side claims victory but its just
a zero sum
liberty and freedom in quotations spray
painted on the wall verbalized explosion we

Locomotive won't stop
Locomotive ain't never gonna quit
Locomotive made of iron and steel
Locomotive I am you

From the East Bay garage
to the radio dial
We've been noted
for our combative style
You never give up
with no chance to win
We know who you are
And we've been where you've been

Locomotive won't stop
Locomotive ain't never gonna quit
Locomotive made of iron and steel
Locomotive I am you

Lulu
ah ah ah ah ah
Lulu
ah ah ah ah ah

Where the middle class breaks up
The working class better wake up
When America was dreaming
Some pigs stole our country

Lulu stands by her family
With harmony and history
There's two kinds of stories
Either comedy or tragedy

Lulu
ah ah ah ah ah
Lulu
ah ah ah ah ah

Lulu works all day long
She goes 9 to 5 just to stay alive

well i went south with a case of survival
to amend my heart thaps paper thin
you see i felt her words and her images filed
i'm gonna carry my hearts to new orleans
i have no home to go so i wander awhile
from coast to coast from sin to sin
from the coldest shores to the warmest island
been around the world back to new orleans

we'll she's got pride like a million lions

She's my go-go baby
She's my honky tonk girl
She dances on my table
She dances on a pole

Some cities Born, Some cities Burn
Some cities Die, Some cities Learn
Some cities take the worst of the turn
And if it ain't your business
then it's not your concern
Listen, Brick buildings
Broken windows, smoke stacks
Tell me somethings broken
And there's blood tracks
And if you see the train coming

Car Lights flash my eyes
Blinded, Hypnotized
Lord knows I'm living
and I'm never coming back
Now one generation dies
Next one wins the prize
and that's the big surprise
There's demise in all of their lies
It's never to late to realize

That's just the way things are
That's just the way it is now [x2]

I walk through the cemetery
It's all empty
Now I put a rose
on the grave of a fallen hero

the telepromter is read by the telegenic
dead and it goes out across the nation there
aint no war information
the bravest kids i know are the ones that
got to go fishing over there
all channels pre emptied another socialite
is gonna get arrested pop culture transaction
takin over my television

(Chorus)
Night clubs and one night stands, play a show then i'm off again
This is my life living on the highway.
Its all i've ever done, all i've ever known
just wanna play one more show, make some music with my friends!
I am working class culture, seen the bleak side of the American experience
scatter in the streets and show me what you got
this is no set of ideas, this is flesh and blood.

This place is a tale of terror
This place is a ghost town now
This place has lost its people
This place has lost its charm
The coals on the fire ain't burnin' no more
In the lake shore foundries
The workers mislead by corporations
That knows no boundaries
This place is a tale of terror
This place is a ghost town now
This place has lost its people
This place has lost its charm

ONE TWO THREE FOUR FIVE SIX SEVEN EIGHT!
No one is safe here
We're all in danger
Through the corridor
I see a stranger
Robbin' and ransackin'
I see him walkin'
Lock your doors now
I hear him knockin'
Up to no good, up to no good
Like a spark in a wire
Or a splinter in wood
Best intentions get misunderstood,
But that mother fucker is up to no good
Up to no good (9x)

You want it, We got it
This is the place
Where everyone can belong
You want it, we got it
Kicking up a riot
Won't you all sing along

Can't tell you
where I was going so tired
It was showing
like the wind I'm blowing
Every town man I'm know in

You want it, We got it
This is the place
Where everyone can belong
You want it, we got it
Kicking up a riot
Won't you all sing along

Some live a life
