Intro lyrics

The phenomena you are about to witness
could well revolutionize your way of thinking
We are presenting startling facts and evidence
that take up where explanations leave off

Some of these revelations will very well go against things you have been taught
And perhaps believed all your life
Prepare yourself for the evidence that will follow...

Bloodclot lyrics

Hey Ho, Hey Ho, Hey Ho, Hey Ho, Hey Ho

Well I'm a crazy upsetter (Driving me insane)
Yea I'm a street wise professor (Who am I to blame)
Now if you listen to the record (Do you feel the same)
Well it don't get any better (Going backwards again)

Whoa swing your fists, whack stitches in the face
Fuck ups on me I feel sorry I work here
Never been like them with this society

Hoover Street lyrics

She's a Salvador immigrant, head through a thin wall
A frail hooker, holding her carnal walls
Gleaming sky scraper bunker he looked down
Laugh hysterically and then he spread around

On Hoover Street, then he must be alone
The precious little, the kid cashed/cast the woes
Of a girl she kind of made you spill
Her brother Mario got shot 4 times in da head

Black Lung lyrics

Sign a petition under working condition
Union is in bed with the coal operators (call of berettas)
Carry are freedom looking for something
To get you family better life for every single day

Some things keep me going
Well I got no one to blame
Five o'clock is comin'
Do you feel the same
When a lonely whistle
Calls out your name

What a man likes to see
When they come after mine

Life Won't Wait lyrics

Jesus and his wage a final war
Religious self-prestigious keep the quest for the holy grail
The eye atop the pyramid is open and awake
The Pagans hold the rituals and the fire won't begin to say:

Division is the new world order.
Division is the new world order.
Division is the new world order.
Come along and tell your sister and your brother.

The force of war, dynamite blast

New Dress lyrics

Ah no!
No no!
Go!!!

With a gleaming success
With a different try
Religious indifference
Mixed between the lies/lines

Territorial company they legitimize
Persecution to form enterprise
The UN is called
To buffer it all

The problem is spreading international
Like Ireland's Belfast it's coming to be
A brand new key

Working class girl puts her money to the test... Yeah
She's got a new dress

Warsaw lyrics

(That is the vision of the anarchist... it is also a boy's dream)

True to Warsaw, glad we did it
Beat him down with a baseball bat
Police retreated the riot scenes in fear of a baseball bat
Working class intellectuals, disillusion you for sure
Broken dreams in warsaw, where all the dreams fall down

American baseball bat!
Demolish the discotheque!
And how many blows to his forearm and neck

Hooligans lyrics

(Rancid... Jah love...)

Yeah!
Here's the new face of rock-n'-roll!
It's about fightin' toe to toe...
Hard times come,
Yeah the hard times go.
When I say, come one, come all.

Well all the hooligans and bootboys know one thing for sure,
Scars been stricken on their face
Well all the hooligans and bootboys know one thing for sure,
Scars been stricken on their face

Crane Fist lyrics

Within the same school. The idea was that we'd later combine both styles,
unify the techniques.
But still, we were too young.
Too full of ignorant pride in our own succulent sorrow.

Oh no!!!
Some people live illegal
What you got you can't keep here
Oh no!!!
Some people live illegal
All their lives are led in evil ( Oh, they rise a lot of evil )

Open the jails and set the men free

Leicester Square lyrics

I got some hard times
Two punks up on the subway
It's a long way to go
To get to Leicester Square

A hard line
It's the one you gotta cross
The one you gotta cross
To get you anywhere

Michael's on his way to pay back syndication
A fist and his backstreet education
The 8-ball stops him low
Demonstrations show
It's crystal clear it ain't so great for those who become broken in here yeah

Backslide lyrics

Like sand, just take your dreams away
Running on the ground
At the end of the day it's your life, your loss
If you can't get the clock around

I said what I got you can have
You better not miss a shot
You're letting yourself get into all kinds of danger
Soon enough you're gonna get caught

They had a feeling
Was like you had to prove you're one in a million

Who Would've Thought lyrics

Who would've thought that the dreams come true
And who would've thought I ended up with you
And who would've thought what they said was true
But it was and you are, lighted darkness come through

Silhouetted palm trees backing it up against the sky
Echo Park sunset, an ambulance drives by
But someone went down
And I wonder who
Faces flash forward, it could be anybody I knew

Cash, Culture And Violence lyrics

Yeah!

She says his power is what's happening
Well I'll be sure to be respecting nothing's stopping him
And to move up for him about crushing them
And I'll kick you plain and simple it's a sin man

Leave it to the coroner to detect this
And I'm sure the U.S.A. to wreck this
He drives a tricked out tricked out tricked out Lexus
And he looks at the city says I can take this

Cocktails lyrics

Broke, dough, dope, the line is choked
Smoked the last dollar to a name
Are you buying
Are you selling girl

Talking square never change
And if I really wanna know
What it means for her to be free
Oh she's mixing cocktails
In a squat down Avenue C
Yeah running through the street

The parasitic
Ah, don't give her a fight
He gets shallow so I know

The Wolf lyrics

I didn't trust him, 'cause he smiled at me first
Just like the wolf before he bites me
And I didn't go there I swear that it was cursed
Just as if it was to despite me

I saw some better days, from to hunter place
A portrait of a sum of the last couple years
See I lost an image, an image of chaos
Yeah all I'd rather notice, isolation in place

1998 lyrics

White Stones, Queens 1974
Fathers talking shit
motherfucker slam the door
Hittin' the streets runnin' can I take this any more
In the reins of the trains I cuddle on the floor

Well the park bench, door and
Sleeping in the rain
Little kids sitting in the shooting gallery
Set yourself up
rom innocence to misery
Oh if this is what you want not
the way of what they fucking say

Lady Liberty lyrics

Lady Liberty, come down and bleed to me
I want nothing to do with your crazy world
Broken promises, those poor noises
Are bringin' it by the time for all the famine and the law
From the contras to the upstarts to shouted Sandanistas

Lady Liberty, come down and bleed to me
You had me to believe that the streets are paved in gold
Storming west, then the cold hits

Wrongful Suspicion lyrics

All right this one goes out to all our friends in New York:
H2O, The Slackers, Stubborn All Stars
Must respect
Hey Tim take it away my man.

Well I heard they fly a confederate flag
Down at the state house
Got a gun to my head from the hand of a man
Down at the state house
Well I reach for a dollar in the hole in my pocket
Down at the state house

Turntables lyrics

Yeah!!!

He's gonna go go get it
Gonna run run set it

Hidden realm
Ahh! everybody knows, it's fucking wild and there's no fronting about it
It's not the style, nor a trial
It's the best of love and hate
Come on everybody, lets get together
I appall the backdrop of hate

Well there's no more food on the table
What was strong, no longer able
And an open mind, no longer stable

Corazon De Oro lyrics

It's over before it starts
Oh don't you know
So on your marks and stand by
Ready, go
From London to New York, Montreal to Tokyo
I see visions of her everywhere I go
What have I become
Now that I'm all alone

I'm just looking for a way to break through these walls and
I'm just looking for a place that I can call my home and
Is anybody out there got a soul
'Cuz I'm just looking for a girl

Coppers lyrics

Yeah we're on/rhymmes imagine that
All punk rock must move inside, all must move inside.
Come out to Brooklyn Town and Coyote Studios

[repeat 2x]
London you're gonna find them
New York, L.A., back to Kingston
All I see is youth fighting
All I see is youth fighting

Well, in sympathy, there's some
Integrity, but in
Humility I've come to find a whole lot more

I'm not one to judge, nor I

Something In The World Today lyrics

Yeaaaaaaaah !!!

There's something in the street tonight
Don't know what it is, but it won't keep quiet
Breaking through your masses on your radio brodcaster

There's something in the air tonight
And it's turning in to a full fledged riot
Singin' for a last dance (?) someone tryin' to find the truth

Yeah!!!

Ohh Nine Lives - I'm gonna come right back for you
