LYRICS

9 to Life

Half a million memories are burning in my eyes
I've met half a million people I've lived half a million lives
I've got half a million sorrows I've got half a million friends
I've got half a million reasons why the story never ends
Half a million hours in I've paid my fucking dues
I've spent half a million dollars finding something to abuse
Half a million chances took I guess I'm outta luck
I've got half a million problems and I still don't give a fuckYou wouldn't last a day in my shoes
Life is a game and I'm playing to lose
Cuz I'd rather die than live 9 to 5
And after it's over you can tell me who was right
You wouldn't last a day in my shoes
Life is a game and I'm playing to lose
I'd rather die than live 9 to 5
So say what you want but you can't put a price on lifeI've got half a million thoughts all running through my mind
I've got half a million reasons to leave everything behind
Cuz even if I had a half a million in the bank
That'd be half a million opportunities I'd never take
Half a million wasted days a million wasted nights
I've got half a million enemies and no one by my side
Half a million people out there say they hate my guts
But that's half a million people who just really fucking suckCuz you wouldn't last a day in my shoes
Life is a game and I'm playing to lose
Cuz I'd rather die than live 9 to 5
And after it's over you can tell me who was right
You wouldn't last a day in my shoes
Life is a game and I'm playing to lose
I'd rather die than live 9 to 5
So say what you want but you can't put a price on life

Chromewrecker

Chromewrecker demon trucker lighting up the night
He'll crush your soul he'll grind it up he'll pack it in his pipe
Rotting flesh between his teeth and vengeance in his eyes
Caught in his headlights? It's your turn to die
Hell on the highway blood on the road
Glued to the pavement there's nowhere to go
Hells iron chariot that stalks in the night
Get ready to die by the tires of ChromewreckerBlood on the highway
Can't outrun destiny
Twisted metal, concrete grave
Hells iron chariot that stalks in the night
Caught in his headlights? It's your turn to dieScourge of the highway blackest night rider
Got a CDL from the devil himself
Your total loss is his only desire he's the unholy roller he's the chauffeur of hell
Sulphuric dust and wheels of fire demon truck driver drunk on diesel and blood
The road turns to lava right under his tires
If you see him in your rear view you're shit outta luck

Apocalypse Nausea

Never again
Never again
But how can you say that it wasn't going to happen
Again and again
To our family and friends
Gone in a flash
Fucking dust in the nuclear windFirst came the bombs
First came the bombs
They rushed us to safety
They promised us all
They could keep us alive
Long enough to survive
But what about the ones who never made it inside?Apocalypse nauseaApocalypse on earth
Apocalypse on earth
The few who survived fight for scraps in the wastes
While the people at fault
Are safe in the vault
In 200 years they'll be back for it allApocalypse NauseaForced to evolve
We've been forced to evolve
Immune to the fallout
We stalk through the wasteland
We ride and we roam
We come to your home
We fill you with lead and we take what you ownApocalypse Nausea

Street War

To live in the land of the deaf and the blind
Where money is king and freedoms a lie
Where all that you say and all that you do
Will fuck up your life if they don't like your views
To live in the land where nobody's free
They've turned me on you, they've turned you on me
A small sacrifice for the good of the whole
Ultimately gives them total controlAnd nothing
Could stop us
As long as we remember
Our leaders
All pull the
Same shit every four novembers
And nothing
Could kill us
As long as we're united
They can not
Control us unless they keep us dividedTo live in the land where workers are slaves
Where people are starving on minimum wage
Where our politicians just lie with a grin
And all of a sudden we're fighting again
To live in a land that nobody likes
And your only options are left wing or right
How can we solve all the problems today
I say we start out by smashing the stateAnd nothing
Could stop us
As long as we remember
Our leaders
All pull the
Same shit every four novembers
And nothing
Could kill us
As long as we're united
They can not
Control us unless they keep us dividedOne fight, one future!
One cause, revolution!

The World We Know

City's ready to explode and I'm gonna set it free
Fire burning in the streets, chaos and anarchy
Like a rabid animal with teeth like razor blades
I'm biting at the heels of the world for just a taste
The blood is stronger than the whiskey, sweeter than the punch
When sweat and tears and wasted years just don't add up to much
And all around you hear the sound of tanks and marching boots
This city is a fucking bomb and I'm here to light the fuseThe world that we know will die by daylight
So fight while you can, get outta here alive
And just what will happen, nobody knows
So stand with me before we go
Before we all march off to dieBombs will drop before too long, it's time to make our stand
It's time to fight, no time for flight, our future's in our hands
Maybe we'll all die tonight, and maybe just as well
Some call this dystopia, I call it fucking hell
So lace up tight, we ride tonight, no matter what the cost
For everything they took from us, for everything we've lost
We'll fight for every stolen right, for every fallen friend
And on this final judgement day we will get our revengeThe world that we know will die by daylight
So fight while you can, get outta here alive
And just what will happen, nobody knows
So stand with me before we go
Before we all march off to die

Fighting in the Pit

Mosh pits, stage dives, the only time you feel alive
It's time to fuckin' go
Another town, another set, another night of getting wrecked
Then back on the road
No regrets, no rules, live like kings, act like fools
It's us against 'em all
Tear it up, thrash hard, live your life without regard
And sleep where you fall'Cause your Friday night
Is our way of life
'Til they turn off the mic
We'll do what we like
'Cause this is how we live
And this is how we dieBetter watch your back, they're fightin' in the pit again
Stickin' motherfuckers like a knife to the back, yeah
Better watch your back, there's a riot at the show again
Livin' like they never gave a fuckClosing time, last call, keep it up, fuck 'em all
We do what we want
Get back, get ahead, get fucked, get dead
We'll run till we fall
Never doubt, never quit, never try to give a shit
Just do what we do
Never lose, never win, hope it never fuckin' ends
Then give it back to you'Cause your Friday night
Is our way of life
'Til they turn off the mic
We'll do what we like
'Cause this is how we live
And this is how we dieBetter watch your back, they're fightin' in the pit again
Stickin' motherfuckers like a knife to the back, yeah
Better watch your back, there's a riot at the show again
Livin' like they never gave a fuckBetter watch your back, they're fightin' in the pit again
Stickin' motherfuckers like a knife to the back, yeah
Better watch your back, there's a riot at the show again
Livin' like they never gave a fuck

Rearview Riot

Never ashamed of living a life on the run
We dug our own graves, we danced with the devil
When we turned our back on our home
Never afraid, we're willing and ready to die
And after the fact we'll see who laughs last
When onward to freedom we ride(On through the night, on through the night)
Back on the road with no end in sight
(On through the night, on through the night)
We're taking our chances, we break out tonight
(On through the night, on through the night)
Back on the road with no end in sight
We ride on through the nightThis is the night that we make a break for our lives
We'll take what we can, we'll give nothing back
And we'll burn every bridge that we find
This is the chance at freedom that no one can touch
A free man in hell is worth two in a cell
We'll be dead before we've had enoughBack on the road with no end in sight
(On through the night, on through the night)
We're taking our chances, we break out tonight
(On through the night, on through the night)
Back on the road with no end in sight
We ride
We ride
We ride on through the night

Headwound

Street war
Get back
40 ounce
Fist pack
Flying at your face if you stand in my way
No home
No love
Stale beer
Old drugs
Hitting rock bottom's just another fucking dayIt's hard growing up with a gun at your back
It's time to fight, time to fight back
Or you're just a fucking corpse
Wrapped in the American flagLock down
Task force
Chaos
Class war
Just another day in the red, white and blue
Brainwashed
Dead sheep
Too afraid
Can't speak
Silently wait until they're locked up tooSo strike up the match and burn down the walls
Take back the streets, take back what's ours
Take back your life today, the only thing worth fighting
ForLiving the dream, walls full of rats
A hole in the head, a mouthful of glass
Counted the days, the few that are left
We're thrown to the wolves or marched off the edge
Backs to the wall
Life electrified
Breathe in the poison
Cut out the lies
Falling through water
Never fucking free
Chain-fed and slaughtered
Death societyDisrespect filth and hate
Every day they make us wait
Don't expect this shit to change
Every war they propagate
Disrespect, filth and hate
Every day we contemplate
Vicious cycle will remain
Too far gone, it's far too latePushed out
Displaced
Stepped on
Disgraced
Another family left behind with nothing they can do
Can't make
Ends meet
Nine to five
Slavery
Freedom is an option only for a chosen fewWill you take a stand or just take the fall
Freedom for one, freedom for all
Will you turn your back and run or will you fight
Will you fight (will you fight)
Will you fight (will you fight)
Will you fight (will you fight)

Take Back the Streets

I don't care about what you say
So don't waste your fuckin' breath
I don't see it any other way
It's either give me liberty or give me death'Cause you might make the rules
But that don't make you right
And you might have all the guns
But you still won't win the fight
There's nowhere left to run
When we take back the streets tonightYou say that you're the boss
But I ain't no fuckin' sheep
You think you call the shots
But it's the working-class kids out running the streets'Cause you might make the rules
But that don't make you right
And you might have all the guns
But you still won't win the fight
There's nowhere left to run
When we take back the streets tonight'Cause you might make the rules
But that don't make you right
And you might have all the guns
But you still won't win the fight
There's nowhere left to run
When we take back the fuckin' streets tonight, you crooked motherfucker

Lights Out

One more drink, one more smoke, one more fuckin' line
One more chance for one last glance at something I can't find
One more mouth full of shit, one more fuckin' fight
And one last call for alcohol to keep me outta my mind(I can't slow down)
I'm outta control in a dead-end town
(I've just begun)
Been 10 years, don't remember one
(Rewound rebound)
Will I wake up when I hit the ground
(Cut off, cut down)
I look at the glass and I turn the lights outOne more day, one more night, one just like the rest
One more monkey on my back that's keepin' me depressed
One more show, one more stage, one more parking lot
And one more thing reminding me of everything I'm not(I can't slow down)
I'm outta control in a dead-end town
(I've just begun)
Been 10 years, don't remember one
(Rewound rebound)
Will I wake up when I hit the ground
(Cut off, cut down)
I look at the glass and I turn the lights out(I can't slow down)
I'm outta control in a dead-end town
(I've just begun)
Been 10 years, don't remember one
(Rewound rebound)
Will I wake up when I hit the ground
(Cut off, cut down)
I look at the glass and I turn the lights out
Lights out
Lights out

Dread

Life's always pushing me down on my knees
Down on my kneesExistential dread
Look alive, feel dead
Existential dread
War is raging in my headSpiraling downward with no way out
No way outExistential dread
Look alive, feel dead
Existential dread
War is raging in my headIt's taking over, destroying everything I love
This fucking evil inside my head just won't give up
I'm holding out for a saving grace
But every time I try to smile I get punched in the face, why
I'm fucking jaded, I don't trust anyone
I'm always faded and I feel like a loaded gun
What's there to offer to someone who just doesn't care
I'm at the end of my rope about to kick the chair

Eternal Night

A poison wind, a dying light
The hollow cost of humankindEternal night (eternal night)
Eternal night (eternal night)
Eternal night (eternal night)Icy ash, atomic snow
The touch of death is fucking coldEternal night (eternal night)
Eternal night (eternal night)
Eternal night (eternal night)A floating ball of dying rock
Midnight strikes the doomsday clockEternal night (eternal night)
Eternal night (eternal night)
Eternal night (eternal night)

Speak for the Dead

I watched in horror as the bombs dropped
The shrapnel went right through his brain
I wept in sorrow as my best friends
Died for political gain
I looked to God and asked him why
How in the fuck can this be
I stopped to question how we're alive
While you're charging forward to die
But I won't fucking let youAs you fight to stay alive
Take a look into my eyes
Your salvation is a lie
(Speak for the dead)
As you bleed out in a ditch
Fuckin' praying that you'll live
Jesus doesn't give a shit
(Speak for the dead)
As you take your final breath
Now in darkness you will rest
Heaven's only in your head
(Speak for the dead)
As you're hanging from the rope
Life has got you by the throat
Once you're gone, you fuckin' go
(Speak for the dead)I cried in terror as chlorine gas
Boiled you from the inside
I stood there frozen as I watched them
Sticking your head on a spike
Prayed for salvation as our masters
Subject us to horrors of war
My dearest brother, I'll avenge you
I promise you won't die in vain
I won't fucking forget you(Speak for the dead)
(Speak for the dead)As you fight to stay alive
Take a look into my eyes
Your salvation is a lie
(Speak for the dead)
As you bleed out in a ditch
Fuckin' praying that you'll live
Jesus doesn't give a shit
(Speak for the dead)
As you take your final breath
Now in darkness you will rest
Heaven's only in your head
(Speak for the dead)
As you're hanging from the rope
Life has got you by the throat
Once you're gone, you fuckin' go
(Speak for the dead)
Right nowWhat are we doing here, this is insane
I'm just a dead motherfucker I got lead in the brain
I was seduced by political lies
But fuckin' honor and glory ain't no reason to die
Everyone loses when war is the game
Once you take away the flags you realize we're the same
They treat our lives like a roll of the dice
So for God and fucking country we'll keep paying the priceThe first shot hit God in the head
Now I'm the only one left to speak for the dead
The first shot hit God in the head
Now I'm the only one left to speak for the dead
The first shot hit God in the head
Now I'm the only one left to speak for the dead
The first shot hit God in the head
Now I'm the only one left to speak for the dead
