Operation Ivy Lyrics
Knowledge - Energy
I know that things are getting tougher,
When you cant get top off from the bottom of the barrel,
Wide open road of my future now...
its looking fucking narrow!
All I know is that I don't know nothing.
We get told to decide,
Just like as if im not gonna change my mind.
This time I got it all figured out,
All I know is that I don't know nothing...
and that's fine
Sound System - Energy
SOUND SYSTEM GONNA BRING ME BACK UP
ONE THING THAT I CANDEPEND ON
try to describe to the limit of my ability:,
its there for a second, then it's given up what it used to be,
contained in my music somehow more than just sound,
this inspiration coming and twisting things around,
Because you always know that its gonna have to go,
you always know that you'll be back in the cold,
point of departure sublimated in a song,
its always coming to give me that hope,
for just a second then its gone but,
SOUND SYSTEM GONNA BRING ME BACK UP
ONE THING THAT I CANDEPEND ON
static pulse inside of music bringing us escape,
its always temporary changing nothing in its wake,
just a second where were leaving all this shit behind,
just a second but its leaving just this much in mind:,
to resist despair that second makes you see,
to resist despair because you cant change everything,
to resist despair in this world is what it is to be free,
SOUND SYSTEM GONNA BRING ME BACK UP
ONE THING THAT I CANDEPEND ON
sound system
sound system
wake up turn my box on,
bust the shade let the sun in,
times getting tougher bout time to start runnin',
box in my hand music by my side,
skanking to the rhythm of the music by my side,
SOUND SYSTEM GONNA BRING ME BACK UP
ONE THING THAT I CANDEPEND ON
sound system
sound system
Jaded - Enegy
With the spectacle of all the shows,
With fifteen fights and your six bucks,
Has gone up some promoters nose,
Jaded eyes see clearly but only half of what's there,
Good old days are left behind what's left is boredom and despair.
But sometimes every once in a while.
Its beautiful I would say,
I wouldn't have it any other way,
If I said different it would be a lie.
What was once rebellion is now clearly just a social sect,
But are you just upset because your own social clique has left,
Leave when you want because I know that someday I will too,
But I wont burn my bridges and be just another jaded fool.
But sometimes every once in a while.
Its beautiful I would say,
I wouldn't have it any other way,
if I said different it would be a lie.
Take Warning - Enegy
Stand by your friends, Wrong or right,
Can't call that justice when its just a stupid excuse to fight,
Single out and attack the ones who got no defense,
You call that a new way of thinking,
I call it regression to ignorance.
Take warning.
There's a new generation coming and we really gotta stand up to them.
Nobody's got a thing against you,
Unless you've got something to prove,
We don't need no set of standards,
We don't need a new set of rules,
Heard all that shit before, About stomping out any difference,
We say stand together, not to fight just to exist.
Intimidation coming and we really gotta say no to them.
Enough is enough is enough, Why don't you just ease up,
I saw another beat down last nite take warning,
Who's the next to hit the ground tonite take warning.
The Crowd - Enegy
Wrenched into the world, deanaesthetized,
Blurry images fit their way through halfway opened eyes,
Awakened by alarm fifteen minutes of hygiene,
Twenty minutes of eating thirty seconds to the door,
I looked outside I looked into the eyes,
Of the impersonal mob I've seen a thousand times before,
Feeling under covers like books on a shelf,
If we're scared of one another,
Must be scared of our self.
More than just another crowd,
We need a gathering instead.
Drink drink in the badland liquid bread for the poor,
Another member of the crowd goes down,
To drown at the liquor store,
Choose your escape in the heartland,
Of product and demand when you feel like a wasp in the swarm,
You gotta get away anyway that you can.
Bombshell - Energy
She's (she's) she's a bombshell.
Down in south Oakland, off east 14th its raining,
Six a.m. on sunday and the bums are praying,
Met her at a party we were drunk now were sober,
She said its cold got a long walk home come over.
She's a bombshel.
I've retraced my steps a thousand times,
Seems I've spent hours asking all my friends about her,
Been six months but ill never be the same,
Nobody remembers her name.
Untiy - Enegy
There's a war going down between my brothers tonight,
I don't want no war going down tonight.
Civilization ha! I call it as I see it,
I call it bullshit you know I still cannot believe it,
Our evolution now has gone the way of hate,
a world evolved resolved in this stupid fate.
Stop this... war!
All so different yeah I say were all the same,
All caught you know in the division game,
Self destruction fast impending like a bulle,
No one can stop it once its fired no one can control it.
A final word, wait it's not a call to action,
We ain't no sect, no this ain't no fucking faction,
Unity, unity you've heard it all before,
This time its not exclusive we want to stop a war.
Unity as one stand together,
Unity evolutions gonna come.
Vulnerability - Enegy
I saw this guy go down,
Wasn't time for fear, Before his body hit the ground.
Our vulnerability is all our insensitivity,
Car that hit him pulled to a stop,
Driver hid the bottles, He anticipated cops.
Crowd assembled to take a look at death,
Shattered skull fragile body blacktop running red.
People looked bored like expecting more.
And sympathy is only friendships whore you know,
And maybe we don't know who we are anymore,
Another spectacle and its respectable,
To take it lightly like another tv show,
So desensitized so dehumanized,
Why stop and think when you can find someplace to go
were drowning.
And its gonna be the death of us just you wait and see.
Hoboken - Enegy
I'M IN THIS PRISON YOU BUILT FOR YOU,
IN THIS SITUATION I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
can't make a connection get a reaction,
there's this wall and I can't get through,
you're dying some guilt with no words,
what did I say what did I do,
youth hostels I lodged, kept seeing you as a mirage,
flashes of you were everywhere hoboken, new jersey,
I'M IN THIS PRISON YOU BUILT FOR YOU,
IN THIS SITUATION I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
always something makes me think,
things don't have to be so wrong,
you put up walls with nothing spoken,
in your weakness you're so strong,
Healthy Body Sick Mind - Energy
expensive vitamin pills and wheat germ on your windowsill,
your schedule's hectic and you got no time to kill,
you're earning money and spending it the right way,
you're in such a rush you don't know if it's night or day,
5:30 get up and you run, run, run,
then you work 8 hours slaving under the gun,
your little world's based on lies lies lies,
always rushing but you're never ever satisfied
HEALTHY BODY SICK MIND
YOU'E WORKING OVERTIME
HEALTHY BODY SICK MIND
TOO HECTIC, TOO HECTIC
HEALTHY BODY SICK MIND
IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME SICK BODY SICK MIND
the money you spend on running shoes could feed me for a week,
your plans are laid so well you can't even sleep,
pursuit of happiness got your life locked under martial law,
you got everything to lose so your paranoid about some fatal flaw,
5:30 get up and you run, run, run
then you work 8 hours slaving under the gun
your little world's made up of lies lies lies
always rushing but you're never satisfied
HEALTHY BODY SICK MIND
YOU'E WORKING OVERTIME
HEALTHY BODY SICK MIND
TOO HECTIC, TOO HECTIC
HEALTHY BODY SICK MIND
IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME SICK BODY SICK MIND
