*Strong Minds Live*

Well, he's 4 foot 4 but he's 6 feet deep, He's the kinda guy ya don't wanna meet, runnin all around screwin up his head, Laying in his coffin (now) shocked that he's dead.

Chorus: Strung out youth, wastin all your life away, "We tried our best" you hear the parents say, Don't ya see that kids live from day to day, STRONG MINDS LIVE AND THE WEAK ONES PAY!

Drivin down the street in his cadallac, Crusin down the street with his jacket on his back, doesn't know he's gonna face a heart attack, fallin down the street ta sell himself for crack, Chorus

STRONG MINDS LIVE AND THE WEAK ONES PAY. Chorus....end

"This song does not mean to call drug addicts weak minded. It means to say that people are weak minded when they choose to use a drug to hide from the reality of life. I am not better than people who use drugs, and people who use drugs are already paying for their choice. I hope that can be helped, and I hope they will be able to overcome their addiction. I write songs from my own experiences, and from the things I have seen happen to others."


*INTEGRITY*

1 by 1 they follow me into the depths of tragedy. They fall they fight, they live they die and never ask the reason why. "Why do we live? Why do we die? Why dont we ever ask the reasons why?"---I don't know who you think you are or who you wan to be---I don't know who ya think you are, but I won't believe

Chorus: I will not follow. Embrace my own integrity. I will not follow.Exploit my own PHILOSOPHY. I will not follow. Develop curiosity. I will not follow....your blind stupidity. Integrit(x4)

In school you sheep, you act strong but you live so weak.Your not taught HOW to think...you are taught WHAT to think


*HEY! HEY! BOOTS AND A BAG OF BONES!*

Here he comes can you hear his call. If you've seen just one then you've seen 'em all. He's big and tough, he's a muscle head. Screamin and a stompin and his face is turnin RED!

CHORUS---Whoaaaaa.HEY!HEY! BOOTS AND A BAG OF BONES!(x4)

Ta me all i see is a case of misery. He's mad with himself, not mad at you and me. Made tha wrong choice, and now he's gonna pay. "BE ALL YOU CAN BE"??? FUCK the tough guy way.


PLASTIC BULLETS-staple center riot

At one, we were sitting talking just having some fun. At two, now we're yelling just doin what we do. At 3 now were running get SHOT BY THE POLICE! At 4 PLASTIC bullets flying pushin down the poor.

Now as I think back my mind is amping at the thought. Just try to imagine running from the cops? I won't say anymore that they're here to uphold the peace. NO MORE-I'm not scared to say,"FUCK THE POLICE"

(drum roll marching)

Anarchists for justice. Anarchists for peace. Anarchists for freedom. FUCK THE POLICE!


DISASTER

He was a young kid, and his father was a bastard. He was a young kid, and his life was a disaster . He was a young kid, and his father was a bastard. He was a young kid, and his life was a disaster.

CHORUS:This generation gonna have to see that It?s not the end of reality.

Yah, I know we really got it bad. Society is screwed and it?s makin me so sad. NO FUTURE screamin at the top of my voice. But, I?m not gonna give in cause I still have choice.

Bombs dropping down, on the cities and the towns But you?ll be crusin around not shedding a frown You?re Naïve with a smile then you think a little while You only see the inches while they?re takin a mile


WERE JUST PUNX!

With these boots on my feet and this Jacket on my back, Gonna walk the streets tonight, gonna face a heart attack. Don?t know where I?m headed, and I don?t know where to stay, When I get there things are gonna be okay.

CHORUS- Shouldn?t concern you and it doesn?t concern me (x2) Cause were just punx! Were just punx!

With this Mohawk on my head and ideologies in my mind. When I walk down YOUR street I know you?re thinking that you know my kind. Just because I look different doesn?t mean you have the right to harass, Does it boost your self-esteem; to me you?re just another PUNK ASS!

(Chorus)

Were just punx, here to annoy you Were jut punx, gonna do what we want Were just punx, gotta do just what we can cause that?s just who we are Were jut punx here to piss you off Were just punx, gonna do what WE CAN Were just punx, Gonna do just what I want cause that?s just who I am.

String face girl walkin dow the street. She's the kinda girl that you'll neva meet. string face girl with my hand on her hip. She's konda grrl that'll neva tripp!

chorus:

She's so good to me (X2) She will neva leave meeeeee....OI!

String face girl is my best friend. She'll be with me till the very end. String face girl walkin down the street. She is still my girl if she doesn't have feet.

(keep in mind that this song is about my guitar, and not some ex-girlfriend that I wrote a song about that doesn't even exist. this song is just fun to play.)

Do ya say it's a free amerika? NO Do ya say it's a free country? NO Gonna take up arms when they call on ya? NO Gonna KILL for the "land of the free"

Chorus

Repeat first verse.

Do Ya support Capitalism? NO Do ya support Consumerism? NO Do Ya support Militarism? NO Gonna BASH vegetarianism? NO


SET IT FREE

Well you say that you're happy. And you say that you care. But all you ever knew, Was in your underwear. So turn your head away. Away from yourself. Cause I don't wanna see. You kill yourself.

Chorus: Set it free, Set it free, Set it free, setitfree for you and me. Set it free, Set it free, Set it free, thats just the way its gotta be.

Thought police in your schools. Sheep made to obey. Obey the rules. Look at the great education you've got. Now you're ready to be a robot.

Chorus

When I OPEN my eyes. I try to look past their deceiving disguise. I Look at my family and all that they've done. Forgotten individual and their oldest son. Look at the future and all that you can be. You gotta set your own mind free. Look at YOUR future and what you're GONNA do. You've gotta set yourself free for me and you.



THREE DREAMS

Well he woke up in the morning and he looked into the sky. Said he wanted to make a difference, but he just didn?t know why. Went down the street that day and occurred to him a thought. Wanted to change society, so why not kill a cop? They took him to the station and they threw him in the cell, he said? ?This is better than society, ?cause it?s a living hell!? This is what happens when you wanna change society Get smashed around by higher authority? Chorus: whoa?.3 dreams and a broken heart.?

Thirty long years passed by our little friend. But nothing will change with him ?till the end. After spending half his life in jail. We were still wondering if he now would fail. Of course he didn?t because the system will never change a man. Lock him up, beat him down They?ll never understand. A man?s a man and you can?t change what?s inside. Those animalistic tendencies will just dig deep and hide. (chorus)

That?s what you get when you wanna change society Get smashed around by higher authority. Nihilistic dreams were the three that led his fall. Smash society, authority, democracy, smash em? all. This is the story of a sad, confused man. Impossible dreams and a terrible plan. Enbracing our goals paying with his time. He killed a cop: the ultimate crime.


*THE RUINS*

Unity? Hypocrisy? Who am I to say? We're all in this together, but we're fighting anyway. Equality Emergency! Who do you think you are? "Ya don't know what punk's all about," says the fucking punkrock czar.

chorus

Division! Incision! We're cut apart by all. Music, message, just a little different, but no standard protocol. Living, dying, hoping, writing, 'till unity's installed. Stop the fighting start uniting or you'll all surely fall.

chorus

Equality Emergency! Who do you think you are? "Ya don't know what punk's all about," says the fucking punkrock czar. Living, dying, hoping, writing, 'till unity's installed. Stop the fighting start uniting or you'll all surely fall.

CHORUS: It's a long night when you're sleeping in the rain. Not gonna fight, gotta unite or you're the one to blame.


INTIMIDATION

Remember back seven yars ago. Just a kid at my first punk show. Kids are dancing, us kids uniting. No intimidation no need for fighting. Years went by, how time can fly, and things have changed I realize. Segregation seeping in. Who are these fellas and where's my friends?

whooO whooO whooO O intimidation whooO whoo0 whooO O intimidation

Why ya starin'? Why don't you think aloud. Don't know each other, we're from a different crowd. Were here together so lets shake hands. Tell me a little about your punk band. Intimidation no room for you. Hit the back door of the club venue. Intimidation no room for you. Hit the back door of the club venue.

chorus


Democracy?

this song is about the ADB protest concert which our old drummer wasn't allowed to play because his Father who works for the military said it threatened his job.

First Ammendment rights down the drain. Free America? Are you insane? Look out here comes the ADB, onto the soil of the land of the free, to take the rights away from you and me.

chorus: This is Democracy (X3) and when you're in the military, your neva neva free.

Here they come with their gun and their badge. Tryin to take away your fucking courage. But you can't protest can't you see, niether can your family, cause Daddy's in the military.


"Neighborhood"

wake up in the morning to the smell of coffee, rising sun hits the face, brings ip the body. strap on the kicks and the all green pack, only got five dollars and the shirt on my back. stack of bills rising up the fridge is still bare, I say, "fuck the newspaper," I just don't care. little gas in my car so I hit the street, another day of roasting coffee in the heat.

chorus:

And I know that things will be okay And I know that things are perfect this way

I know whats goin down in my neighborhood I know whats goin down in my neighborhood I know whats goin down in my neighborhood I know whats goin down in my neighborhood -and its just right, yeah its okay, and its just right its perfect for me today oi oi oi oi oi...

hit the CG about a quarter to three, chillin' with my friends, the boys of M dot E. grab my guitar, down to the studio, pay 25 bucks and then I gotta go. back to the old town I see my old crew, they been drinkin' all night and got nothing to do. we sit on the curb and we reminess, about those times that were different, those times I'm gonna miss.

repeat chorus


punkrock blues

when I wake up in the mornin and my mind starts a runnin about all the fucked up shit thats goin on I get a little upset and and put my fingers to the frets and wish that all the problems were gone but I know it just wont stop till the filthy pigs are shot and theyre no longer playin me as their pawn.

Every single day ya know I got the old punkrock blues I'll blame all my problems on the fuckers I see on the news Its too fucked up I won't shut up till I lose.

Screamin for the freedom and screamin for the peace but it's never gonna stop till my mind is at ease But there's too much on my mind and I can't leave it behind help me please Man I think I feelin weak I'll be emo for a week I'll drive off this rock just give me some fuckin keys.


ease up (on the negativity)

Things have changed and I have too what the fuck are you gonna do when the drama starts runnin and the're talkin shit about you. Take a step a back and remember who ya are playin their negativity game ain't gonna take ya far when ya know that the true blue winner loses first.

-things have changed and I have too what the fuck are you gonna do -things have changed and so have I try my best to realizes -that people run their mouth they'll be talkin that shit -try to kill their pain so they fell better bout it. -cause they got problems worse than yours

Releace the hate and send love Cause thats the only weapen that'll really shove and show in yourself what you want to see in them. Open up your heart the stronger one will start and you'll hit the ground runnin and the negative will part if theirs nothin left to fuel the hate.

Ease up your mind today let go of the hate you spray put me down so you feel strong that ain't unity so ya dont belong don't ya see the hipocrisy if you participate in negaivity stop the war on the disco floor yeah I know youve heard it all before.
