** Amazing Disgrace **
Amazing disgrace, how fucked it is, that we can't live in peace
We've come so far, so many years
Till it's fucked by police
They say that they serve and protect, but that's hard to swallow
Just take a look at Rodney King
And Amadou Diallo
DOWN WITH POLICE BRUTALITY
WHY ARE THE COPS OUR ENEMY
SHOULDN'T YOU BUST THAT DEALER INSTEAD
INSTEAD OF KICKIN' BLACK MEN IN THE HEAD
SHOULDN'T YOU FIGHT FOR THE COMMON GOOD
PROTECT THE INNOCENT LIKE YOU SHOULD
YOU'RE TOO BUSY BEATING THEM INSTEAD
It disgusts me to look and see this violence caused by cops
Erase the hate, increase the peace
And pull out all the stops
DOWN WITH POLICE BRUTALITY
WHY ARE THE COPS OUR ENEMY
SHOULDN'T YOU BUST THAT DEALER INSTEAD
INSTEAD OF SHOOTING IMMIGRANTS IN THE HEAD
SHOULDN'T YOU FIGHT FOR THE COMMON GOOD
PROTECT THE INNOCENT LIKE YOU SHOULD
YOU'RE TOO BUSY KILLING THEM INSTEAD
** For Today **
You wonder why your life's a drag
You spend too much time in the past
Open up, live for today
Don't let another moment slip away
You whine and bitch that you've done wrong
While your life just moves along
Open up, live for today
Don't let another moment slip away
Now I'm not trying to tell you how to live your life
All I'll say is eventually you die
So go ahead and look back on yesterday
Just know that you've only got one shot at today
As if you weren't pathetic enough
You take your job too serious
You get bent up from what they say
For six days a week and a shitty pay
You whine and bitch you work too much
Like someone forced you to show up
Open up, live for today
Don't let your life just fade away
Now i'm not trying to tell you that I'm always right
All I'll do is simplify your life
So go ahead and look back dont worry 'bout today,
Just know that you've already lost yesterday
You look back on days and you let it slip away
** Take the Keys**
Bill couldn’t resist another drink
He walked back in the bar, he would never ever think
He downed a couple shots and stumbled out the bar
Tripping over his feet, he barely made it to his car
He doubled speed limit on I-95
It was 9pm when she was last seen alive
In the oncoming lane Bill headed right for them
She died on impact, her son will never walk again
SO DRINK IT UP, DRINK IT UP
Have another drink you asshole
DRINK IT UP, DRINK IT UP
Go on ruin another life
DRINK IT UP, DRINK IT UP
Your alcoholism drives you
DRINK IT UP, DRINK IT UP
Let’s get liquored up and go for a drive
After 10 years in jail, Bill hasn’t changed a bit
Still gets drunk every night, up to all the same old shit
Intoxicated he’s flying down the avenue
An oncoming car comes into Bill’s blurry view
SO DRINK IT UP, DRINK IT UP
Have another drink you asshole
DRINK IT UP, DRINK IT UP
Go on ruin another life
DRINK IT UP, DRINK IT UP
Your alcoholism drives you
DRINK IT UP, DRINK IT UP
Let’s get liquored up and go for a drive
** Dubya **
Broken promise, broken trust
The man elected to lead us
It’s true
Another pledge, another lie
Another child sent to die
By you
You lie & cheat & lie some more
But you know what you have in store
You will
Keep the oil minimal
You’re no better than the criminals
You kill
You haven’t really won
The downfall of this country has begun
Half a million can’t be wrong
Always know you don’t belong
Change everything in the past
Eight years reversed in a flash
You’ll keep
Your father’s legacy alive
You make things worse and all the while
I weep
Broken promise, broken trust
The man elected to lead us
It’s true
Another pledge, another lie
Another child sent to die
By you
You haven’t really won
The downfall of this country has begun
Half a million can’t be wrong
Always know you don’t belong
** Lil' Lolita **
I was just walkin’ down the street
I wasn’t out there lookin’ for love
But she had the most beautiful smile
An angel who fell from above
She had the deepest, bluest eyes
When she was made they broke the mold
But there’s only one problem
She’s only seven years old
I brought her flowers everyday
On the playground during lunch
All her friends thought I was weird
And her parents had a hunch
They thought something was wrong with me
No one thought that it was alright
But that’s only because
She’s seven and I’m thirty-five
They call me a pedophile, but it doesn’t bother me
Because I will always know that this love was meant to be
Eventually the cops were called
They were informed about my ways
But I never tried to kiss her
Or even touch her in that way
Her parents were so glad
To know that I’d be gone
I took one last look at her
And then I felt the cuffs go on
** Change of Scenery**
Who are you?
What’s going on?
Each day a new wardrobe, a different song
You’re changing scenes
Day to day
Who the fuck are you anyway?
One day a punk
A prep the next
You’ve got us all totally vexed
You come to a show
You dye your hair
The next day you deny being there
You go through friends
Day to day
Who the fuck are you anyway?
How can you live
In the world today
When you don’t even have your own say?
** Cut Deep **
One more lie, you stab me in the back
How could I have ever trusted you?
You'll see in time, you left the wrong guy
'Cause now you are the one who is a lonesome fool
Wounds heal in time, these wounds are cut deep
But still you try to be my good friend
Test of time and of my good will
You don't know I dont ever want to see you again
When you cry I just ignore you
Not this time, I'm sick of playing games
Still you try to make me player two
When you cry you know I feel no shame
** Mass Media Malevolence **
Ladies and gentlemen we regret to inform you
Of this horrible tragedy
But we have it all on exclusive video
And we would like you to all come look and see
Ladies and gentlemen in case you haven’t seen
We’d like to show it to you one more time
So gather round and watch it close in slow motion
Watch them plummet, watch them burn, watch them die
One more relative watching in horror
One more time we beat it into the ground
The ratings go up with the number of casualties
So tune in and see your world come crashing down
You say that we exploit the suffering of others
But we are only practicing our rights
It’s such bullshit, we know it, what can we say?
Just try to put it out of your mind
One more relative watching in horror
One more time we beat it into the ground
The ratings go up with the number of casualties
So tune in and see your world come crashing down
** Danny **
You wake up tired, swimming in denial
You know exactly what they’ll do
You try to pretend that today will be different
But they’re gonna walk all over you
You gotta stand up tall and let your voice be heard
Don’t let them call you strange
God dammit, open up your eyes
Or else it’ll never change
Don’t take their shit and never let them win
Get up when they push you down
God dammit, open up your eyes
You’ve got to turn it around
** Complex Thoughts for the Simple-Minded **
Claiming you’re in your right
To freely speak your mind
Your prejudice will not prevail
Thinking with a closed mind
So many of your kind
Spread their hatred to no avail
I will never give up the fight
To put an end to all your spite
No chance in hell I’ll give in to
Your ever jaded point of view
You’ll never understand
That two men holding hands
Is something that has come to be
There’s nothing wrong with it
But still you preach your shit
Is there no room for equality?
I will never give up the fight
To put an end to all your spite
No chance in hell I’ll give in to
Your ever jaded point of view
** Signal 40 **
Lying battered & bruised, staring at the ceiling tiles
Praying for his life, hoping justice will be served
Years later, his attackers are back on the streets
Released prematurely, who had the nerve?
Violated by the boys in blue
The system fails, it is so sad but true
Whatever happened to the guilty being punished?
Because they're cops can they get away scott free?
It's a harsh slap to the face of the victim
Liberated, it's a travesty
Violated by the boys in blue
The guilty set free, it's so sad but true
**ALL MUSIC BY Where's Driver?**
look for these songs at our next show to sing along!!! (or just mumble and pretend you know the words)
