Rancid 2000 Lyrics
DON GIOVANNI
You're making enemies Like Don Giovanni You're making enemies Like Don Giovanni
Don killed Anya's father in a brutal swordfight
The old man regrouped and came back from the dead
You're making enemies
Like Don Giovanni
You're making enemies
Like Don Giovanni
Well the old man came back from the dead and dragged Don Giovanni to hell
So don't fuck with me..kid!
DISGRUNTLED If the police come and tromp the state And there's a strait crisis and maley And gradually arodes world technology Let go, let go, let go, disgruntled And gradually arodes world technology Let go, let go, let go, disgruntled Reflect something of course you descend Fighting conflict, running fugitiveAnd gradually arodes world technology Let go, let go, let go, disgruntled And gradually arodes world technology Let go, let go, let go, disgruntled If the police come and tromp the state And there's a strait crisis and maley
IT'S QUITE ALRIGHT I can tell you how it'll go down But only you can tell me how it'll end All systems just stop right here Why do we always pretend? So many things can be a mystery But all we're seeking is freedom You realize that your reality Is gonna be there to greet 'em It's all right It's quite all right me Let the rich man confess like that Man it's hard to stop Better, get better Don't let the deep end drop And if you drop my name in regard to danger I'm urgent only to heat'Cause they say live in a world Gonna set me free It's all right It's quite all right with me Yeah, with me!
LET ME GO Ok check this out It aint impossible, it aint easy Opportunity shifting here So far the strategy aint working the facts are in it's so very clear I do what I want I can't predict the future And those who can I know that they are lying I know the truth can be hard to swallow A soap opera world leaders are crying Correction I need no direction Oh let me go just one last time I spend my whole life searching for direction Oh let me go just one last time You can burn a book if you don't like the answers Or join forces with an AXL grind USA protecting your cancers A list if hatred is easy to find Well there's a growing sentiment in America If you listen closely you can hear them all Right is right wrong is wrong and evil Consider it bad behavior Correction I need no direction Oh let me go just one last time I spend my whole life searching for direction Oh let me go just one last time Bad generation polarize view No one leaves home to go and help you Watch CNN and then you know US bombs come down, what you gonna do Boom boom boom look around There's no more roof no more house, no street, no town, shot down Burnt black and brown electrical meltdown You'll hear the sound of the U.S. bomb all around Ah it's a shake down It's a break down Atomic shutdown And then you know!!!!!! Correction I need no direction Oh let me go just one last time I spend my whole life searching for direction Oh let me go just one last time Correction I need no direction Oh let me go just one last time I spend my whole life searching for direction Oh let me go just one last timeOne last time....
I AM FOREVER I am forever is what he said Lost in a dream he never had Doors bust open doors slam shut The key to change is time He said, my dear mother I let you down No-one want to be a burden on a loved one Doors bust open doors slam shut The key to change is time Riding the freight train all the while Your building the fucking tracks Doors bust open doors slam shut The key to change is time Doors bust open doors slam shut The key to change is time
POISON Like Chancre's Canterbury tales When three men find a pot of gold and end up killing one another in the name of greed Some people are poison Under my skin like opium And I'll stare in their eye to annoy them Yeah there poison Admissions of liabilities I'm living in my own private cold war In a room full of spies and I cannot find the door Some people are poison Under my skin like opium And I'll stare in their eye to annoy them Yeah there poison The violent aspects of a tattered man Let me respond to that if i can Illuminated Manuscripts written by hand Accusations have been made form the very beginning Some people are poison Under my skin like opium And I'll stare in their eye to annoy them Yeah there Fuckin Poison!
LOKI Set out to mislead Sets out to murder False appearance is everything to him Is he good today, or is he evil In a violent crazy spewing words of madness It can go either way you never know Conditioned to deceived and that's how he likes it With all the guns going off who can say no to the guy Who watch out, who's fucking nuts' Cause Loki's playing tricks again Loki's playing tricks again Loki's playing tricks again Loki's playing tricks again

BLACK DERBY JACKET Books on Emerson books on Thoreau But all I read was maps of the road And I was three thousand miles away from you All the while I was twenty-two What do you do to know who you are? The best way for me to drop out on tour You went to Upstate NxY (New York) to go to school To secure the roll with your parents I got a new perspective on you All the good and bad that we went through I know you better than you know you'Cause I got a new perspective on you I never needed much, I never liked to loom But a gesture can get me from across the room The first night we talked until while the sun caught up Transparent people melting all around us You left in a plane, I left in a van Played nightclub house-parties and auditoriums Saw Germany England Italy with my band I know you better than your new friends I got a new perspective on you All the good and bad that we went through I know you better than you know you'Cause I got a new perspective on you Ford Econdlane September '93 Driving 10 hours until my eyes are blurry 3 packs of Winstons and a bag of seeds Tapes of "x" and a thermos of coffee 6 weeks on and 10 days off Then I go back on the road for another show This is all that I've ever done Girl I got nothing to fall back on "But I got a new perspective on you All the good and bad that we went through I know you better than you know you 'Cause I got a new perspective on you"
