Start a riot? I don't buy it!
Start a riot? I don't buy it!
Start a riot? I don't buy it!
I've spent all of this time
Erasing the gender line
And you draw it right back
Twice as dark
I'm all for sisterhood
But not if it means my brother's no good
I won't participate in a fight based
On reverse discrimination
That's all it is
Reverse discrimination
It's the nineties
And the nineties is a time to find
The strength within yourself
Hey little punk girl you're just like me
Blood red lipstick and braces on your teeth
Lying to your parents to go to that show out of state
Getting grounded cuz you came home to late
Got your first stage dive high not too long ago
Showing off the bruises you got dancing at a show
Hardcore isn't going to die
Because the new generation has arrived
Hardcore ain't gonna die
Cuz the new generation's gonna keep it alive
New Blood flowing through to keep the scene alive
New Blood (x3)
Hey little punk girl you're just like me
I see you it's like looking in a mirror
That reflects the time when I was fifteen
Aggravation builds up inside
Pent up frustration we need to hide
I need to scream to let my anger show
I need to vent to let it go
Demons inside I don't want to keep
Music is my release got to let it out
Cause when I play it takes me away
To another place got to let it out
Anxiety tied up in knots frustrated
I just can't take it anymore
The same old shit as before
Demons inside I don't want to keep
Music is my release got to let it out
Cause when I play it takes me away
To another place got to let it out
Music is my escape my chance to get away
When I just can't take it
To set my soul at ease now I can totally be free
4. Where Were You .mp3 audio file
It was summer 1988 club music ruled that shit's for fools
I was tired of hearing bass beats out of every car that drove by
So I was flipping the dial on the radio when those power chords
Grabbed my heart
The song was 'No Reason Why', the show was Radio Riot and I
fuckin' fell in love with what I heard
Where were you when you fell in love with hardcore?
Was it at a show? On pirate radio? In your big brother's room?
When you got your Docs, suited up punk rock
Beat up by jocks one afternoon?
When did you first dive off the stage?
Were you serenaded by Ian McKaye?
When that stranger in the pit picked you up off the floor
Was it getting your hand stamped at City Garden's door?
Paid admission had lots of fun
Woah where were you when you first found the underground
Woah where were you when your ears first kissed that punk rock sound
Woah where were you when you said mainstream kiss my ass
Woah where were you when you threw Mtv to the trash
I need that fix, I need it quick
I am a fiend I'm an adrenaline junkie
The strength of ten men cannot stop me
When I am hopped up on my own adrenaline
Adrenaline is what I need,
pumping, pumping, through my veins
Adrenaline is what I need, can't you hear my heart racing?
Adrenaline is what I need, pure chemical energy
Adrenaline is what I need, you can't buy that stuff on the street
Don't need to shoot up don't need to pop a pill I don't need to sniff it up I don't need to chug it down
Don't need to take a trip don't need to take a hit don't need to make a deal the real thing is inside me
No one's perfect I know I don't claim to be
So why do you insist on constantly judging me?
Just trying to live out life without getting too many scars
But every little thing I do you make sure to tear apart
Aiming to please you is not what I'm about
Even when I do everything right you will search
Something wrong out
I struggle not to sink that would be too easy
I tread the water I tread the water
And keeping my head up only makes me stronger
What did I do now? Just let me know
You don't hesitate to tell everyone else so
7. Beehive .mp3 audio file
Ya know I got this job this job just gets in the way
Of what I really want for me
I'll do it tomorrow I'm too tired from working
No I can't go out tonight I gotta get up early
Time passes by so quickly each day
So busy working forgot to play!
Live it up now kid live it up hard
Never mind what they say follow what you're told by your heart
Cuz you've only got one shot (x4)
It would be nice to live a life that is free
It would be nice to lay on grass that is green
Instead of working for the queen bee
Who spends all day enjoying his own honey
Surrender to the colony can't escape the cost of living
So I put aside my dreams in order to make those ends meet
Punch in punch out punch in overtime
Punch in punch out punch in punch out punch in punch out overtime
I want to be where the grass is green, is there even such a thing?
I see a light at the end of the tunnel and that's the day I can say
I QUIT!
When did this become a time when dreams are built on an assembly line
Not mine!
The day just started and my mind's already on quitting time
Sunrise I open my eyes I knew that it was garbage day
I heard the truck coming down the block
It's almost here to haul me away
I got canned when I tried to make you my man
Tried to make you my man that's when I got canned
9. Fast Times .mp3 audio file
Racing by on this road
Hypnotized by the lines
I put the pedal to the metal
Because these are fast times
I'm the driver behind the wheel
I'm aggressive made of steel
The end of the road is where I want to be
There's no limit to my speed
Full tank, music, lots of room to take
Whoever I want
Come on be my co-pilot
All the lights are green
Fast Times (x3)
Full speed ahead
Fast Times (x3)
Don't let these good times end
Pack a bag, strap yourself in,
Hold onto your seats
This is where the trip begins
Fast times, fast times, full speed ahead go!
We're not supposed to be here but we don't care
We should be doing homework but that's too square
They say that punk is junk
Our T-shirts are all stunk
Our teachers say we'll flunk
But we don't care NO we don't care
We shaved off all our hair so people stop and stare
But we don't care NO we don't care
They laugh at all the bands we know, but we don't care
They told us that we can't go home, but we don't care
Cuz' we are into something that can't compare
And we don't care NO we don't care
We like to dress in glam make all the noise we can
And if we get into a jam we don't care
NO WE DON'T CARE!
