Rancid (2000) lyrics

You're making enemies
Like Don Giovanni
You're making enemies
Like Don Giovanni
Don killed Anya's father in a brutal swordfight
The old man regrouped and came back from the dead
You're making enemies
Like Don Giovanni
You're making enemies
Like Don Giovanni
Well the old man came back from the dead and dragged
Don Giovanni to hell
So don't fuck with me..kid!

If the police come and tromp the state
And there's a strait crisis and maley
And gradually arodes world technology
Let go, let go, let go, disgruntled
And gradually arodes world technology
Let go, let go, let go, disgruntled
Reflect something of course you descend
Fighting conflict, running fugitive
And gradually arodes world technology
Let go, let go, let go, disgruntled

I can tell you how it'll go down
But only you can tell me how it'll end
All systems just stop right here
Why do we always pretend
So many things can be a mystery
But all we're seeking is freedom
You realize that your reality
Is gonna be there to greet 'em
It's all right
It's quite all right me
Let the rich man confess like that
Man it's hard to stop
Better, get better
Don't let the deep end drop

Ok check this out
It aint impossible, it aint easy
Opportunity shifting here
So far the strategy aint working the facts are in it's so very clear
I do what I want I can't predict the future
And those who can I know that they are lying
I know the truth can be hard to swallow
A soap opera world leaders are crying
Correction I need no direction
Oh let me go just one last time

I am forever is what he said
Lost in a dream he never had
Doors bust open doors slam shut
The key to change is time
He said, my dear mother I let you down
No-one want to be a burden on a loved one
Doors bust open doors slam shut
The key to change is time
Riding the freight train all the while
Your building the fucking tracks
Doors bust open doors slam shut
The key to change is time

Like Chancre's
Canterbury tales
When three men find a pot of gold
and end up killing one another in the name of greed
Some people are poison
Under my skin like opium
And I'll stare in their eye to annoy them
Yeah there poison
Admissions of liabilities
I'm living in my own private cold war
In a room full of spies and I cannot find the door
Some people are poison
Under my skin like opium

Set out to mislead
Sets out to murder
False appearance is everything to him
Is he good today, or is he evil
In a violent crazy spewing words of madness
It can go either way you never know
Conditioned to deceived and that's how he likes it
With all the guns going off who can say no to the guy
Who watch out, who's fucking nuts
'Cause Loki's playing tricks again
Loki's playing tricks again

Blackhawk down blackhawk down blackhawk down below
There's a blackhawk down in Mogadishu American Government issue
Blackhawk down blackhawk down blackhawk down below
Conflict in Somalia never came to an end
Strife in Sudan on going contention
Battle in Sierra Leon
Hostilities in the Congo
Who threw the coup explosion's at zero
Explosion's at zero
Blackhawk down blackhawk down blackhawk down below

Rwanda yeah your moon shines bright
Rwanda over planned genocide
Rwanda, won't you be strong like a lion
Tune in the transistor
And listen to the news
Cause once a week it hits ya
Heart broken and blue
It's the voice over Africa
so stop peregrination
So listen very closely to half a million dead souls
Rwanda yeah your moon shines bright
Rwanda over planned genocide

A fire from the sky rains brimstone from above (no god no truce)
A whole world implosion got too close to the sun (no god no truce)
Veins of power struggle explode into a bloody mess (no god no truce)
Rupturing the nation's core, bursting from the stress (no god no truce)
The atheists get in line await the coming destruction (no god no truce)

Your selling sexism your selling racism
your selling anything you get your fucking hands on
An understanding, you got a plan in a
Presentation to advertisers who demand it
When you plan that
Your antennas are pointed in the right direction
You make a deal in any situation
So with no evacuation
Let California fall into the fucking ocean
Oh they talk to ya, Oh your the town man

For weeks your falling, that's my darling
Hear them calling drawing you back
Sawing you in two, using me, using you
What can you do
Watch out Mack, here's a rat
Falling off the track, fade out black
Black in feedback, hit the flashback
Don't you know we hate that
Your a rattlesnake
And your full of shit
Your a rattlesnake
Your a rattlesnake
Fuck that shit, I don't wanna hear it

Some people say I'm fuckin crazy
But it don't phase me
It's just amazing
Someone shout out Hallelujah
Roulette spinner blackjack winner
She was a minuscule miniskirt hiked up
And if you like that you walk a tight rope
Blood of Jesus gonna cleans ya
So lets begin to put down a wage
Everybody tells me to look within but I'll look within the city of sin

On the cusp of an explosion
I answer with evil that's the way that I play it
Street Turks multiple contusions
I gnash spit
I grind my teeth
Got a gun and a knife
Staring back at you
No security force or vigilante's
overweight ego can dethrone me
Ostracized if not otherwise
Left to my own device you'll surly see
Got a gun and a knife
Staring back at you
Got a gun and a knife
Staring back at you

El Diablo is like a soundtrack
All concurrent playback
'57 chevy with the radio on
It's a sad song
That goes on and on
It's a fugitive of time Radio Havana
It's a fugitive of time Radio Havana
A friend that said you gotta make a choice
He's got the leather skin and the velvet voice
The New York Times read that it aint over yet
you can't forget, cause you'll never forget

Books on emerson books on thoreau
But all I read was maps of the road
And I was three thousand miles away from you
All the while I was twenty-two
What do you do to know who you are
The best way for me to drop out on tour
You went to Upstate NxY (New York) to go to school
To secure the roll with your parents
I got a new perspective on you
All the good and bad that we went through

disfigured and oblique
From the appetite that i seek
I'm a hungry cannibal
I'm a rabid animal
My remains are begin scattered
I've been bludgeoned I'm in pain
Stomach pains are coming and they strike with demon speed
Dead bodies everywhere
Piles of blood and entrails and hair
I'm bleeding from the inside from the Armageddon outside
Recurring rotting dreams
>From this place the demons speak

John brown set the tone he was a meteor in a guilty land
Abolitionist understand freedom to the despondent man
Grant said you're either one, a patriot or a traitor's son
It's a Sanguinary conclusion
a Sanguinary conclusion
Sanguinary conclusion..yeah
John brown, (John brown) John brown, (John brown) John brown, (John brown)

Charles Van Doren never seemed to want it
A 64,000 dollar question
It was rigged on a fix end of innocence
The original T.V. scandal
It's true, Your through....Fuck you!
A unique one, triggered implosion, outraged disgrace condemnation
Nine- hundred channels, one billion scandals
I've been hypnotized by all of you
It's true, Your through....Fuck you!
I've been hypnotized by all of you

In the army of Babylon I'm a young Al Capone
My self an outlaw in the eyes of the lord
Good man lose and the bad men win
The blind and the sick i attenuate them
Barrels of concrete and melted steel
Black smoke rises like a ghost in the field
Hardened lungs deep breathing the air
That stings the life from within me
Succobus catches on and it won't let me go
The leprosy sets in and you got no glue

Spread out like a million locusts covering the sun
Protagonists and infidels gonna speak out on the run
Deep rooted back and fourth
Failed from both sides
Triggered a sudden Excitement into the battle night
Reconciliation in what they already knew
Humanities lost when the power's vested in a few
Shadow of island cloud the symbol of change
Nelson spent 19 years on robin island estranged

She's got her life going she is still breathing
It's not a proven fact it's just a feeling
Her old man doesn't own her like he did before
He once was so clear but now he's a blur
I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO'S NOT AFRAID OF YOU
The homeless child is no roll she played
It is real as anything the system has made
She's a monument forever standing
Inner city exposure can be extremely demanding

Some people are rotten deep down to the core
Some people got the kick of a bull
and the lies of a chronic thief in store
Some people try to take you out if they can
But I'll go right through them I'm a battering ram
Been running my whole life and I'm still running
Integrity is something you never had
Reverence to your lies as a person you're bad
Falsified living on the truth you're gonna choke

My life the blessing
Understand my aggression
I don't regret nothing
It's all been a lesson
Me and my friend got the music
Like a loaded gun we're gonna use it
Tell us we ain't shit I won't listen
Try to hit us but you keep on missing
I KNEW THE SENTENCE THEN
I KNEW IT WAS GONNA BLOW
DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU
APOCALYPSE RADIO
Sometimes I'm a total wreck
I want to break someone's neck

Another show with a fucked up promoter
Kids sent in by the media controller
They arrived in a '87 Ford with a gun rack
case of Bud and stiletto blade
It's the kind of show you end up at
when you get stabbed by the blade
big business made
I WANNA GO BOOT I WANNA GO BLADE
The main controller tried to buy me out but I didn't buy it
Some people did and there is nothing I could do about it

Chaos discontent I'm a lunatic
Thirty days in the street is how I'm doing it
A life of no money a quart of Cisco
The horses are loose I got mine let's go
The enemy would not expect an attack at this hour
The moon is a sliver the darkness gives me power
Come and find me I'm gonna be here
Come and find me I like it
Spent some time in a shelter down on Webster

Creeps burn and run their life too calm too windy
To form a wasteland
Atomic blow
A total nothing
Totaled completely
You filth's are discovered but you eyes are boiling
It's a Sick Sick World so what do you do kid
Come on down, it's your turn, yeah it's your turn!
A night at the goat is the name of the band
A total giant glass ought to make the plan
This song's about when you go back-to-back

This is not Churchhill downs this is not Hollywood Park
When the field is wide open
I'll pick the horse that's got the biggest heart
Let em run let em ride let em roll down the track
Let em win place and show
Let em one dollar exact
Six furlongs four phillys
Three mares three years and up
Who measures up
Well I wish you luck
Who measures up
Well I wish you luck
