1. WE GOTTA KNOW

Strugglin in the streets just tryin to survive
Searchin for the truth is just keepin us alive
Gotta break these shackles gotta break these chains
Said the only way we’ll do it is if we use our brains
Said there’s gotta be some meaning to the purpose of life
I know there must be more than the struggle and strife
Cause I’m looking for the answers and I need a clue
Cause my mind’s so disturbed now what do I do ?

Notice everywhere there’s mass confusion and packs of lies
We gotta know!
We’re starin down our enemies in their eyes
We gotta know!
These are the days of the cheaters and the cheated
We gotta know!
But we’re not gonna bend you know we won’t be defeated
We gotta know!
Cause my mind’s so disturbed now
What do I do! What do I do! What do I do!

This planet’s turnin into a hell
And I figured out that things really don’t look too well
Reactions coming they’re already starting to show
But the question is who’ll go with the flow
You know there’s gonna……………………...be a fight
Cause somebody’s always trying to keep ya…………
From doing the right
There’s always gonna be somebody comin
No matter where you go

So now you know why we gotta know


2. WORLD PEACE

All you hippies better start to face reality
All your far-fetched dreams of anarchy
Better start to see things the way they are
Cause the way things are going they won’t be goin far

World peace can’t be done
It just can’t exist
World peace can’t be done
Anarchy’s a mess

Things are getting hectic it’s all gonna end
You don’t know what’s waitin up around the bend
Open your eyes perhaps you’ll realize
If AIDS don’t get ya then the warheads will

World peace can’t be done
World peace it just can’t exist
World peace World peace can’t be done
World peace anarchy’s a mess
World peace World peace can’t be done
World peace no it can’t
It just can’t - It just won’t exist
World peace World peace World peace


3. SHOW YOU NO MERCY

I tried to stop myself
Told you those games ain’t good for yourself
Gave ya advice cause I thought you could hear
Better listen closely cause your end is near

Gonna show you no mercy at all
Gonna kick ya kick when ya when you’re takin
your fall
Won’t show you no mercy today
Gonna hit ya - hit ya when you’re movin
On your way

Put ya in check cause I thought you were my friend
Sorry it had to come to the bitter end
Just like a blind man you can’t see
Better move along and just let me be

Don’t come to me
For no sympathy
Just won’t get none here
Just leave you in fear

Won’t show you no mercy at all
What does it take to prove you were a fake
I thought so anyway, won’t show you no mercy today
Won’t show you no mercy at all


4. MALFUNCTION

I just can’t get through to you
Despite all the ways I try or any of the things I do
Maybe I’d be better off talkin to a wall
Cause you, you ain’t makin any sense at all

I’m walkin and I’m talkin and I’m trying
And I’m lyin but I just ain’t getting through
to you

I’m walkin and I’m talkin and I’m tryin
And I’m lyin but I just ain’t gettin through to you
Am I just wastin just wastin all my
My precious time - cause I ain’t wastin
A breath on you or any of your kind
If you had any brains you would open your mind
But I guess you’re just afraid of what you’re
gonna find

It’s a malfunction


5. STREET JUSTICE

Street justice happening all around
You see
Won’t try to talk my way out
Don’t try to play those speech games anymore
Overpower - overcome

Street justice
Street justice
Street justice

No way out gotta stand strong
Can’t you see that I’m not wrong
That’s the way it is and can’t you see
Street justice for you and me

Street justice
Street justice
Street justice
Street justice

If it really doesn’t matter why do you care ?
Don’t turn around if it’s not your affair
Don’t try to play those speech games anymore
Overpower - overcome

Street justice
Street justice
Street justice
Street justice

Justice!


6. SURVIVAL OF THE STREETS

Living inside inclosed walls
Got no money in pockets
No pictures on the walls
Wake up with a gun on my head
That’s the life, the life I’ve lead
What can I do ?
Life’s hard so I gotta be hard too
But things always seem to get in my way
But I’m gonna get over for another day

Survival of the streets

Livin in burnt out buildings
Livin in the streets
It’s the life of the Cro-Mags
Survival of the streets
Never know what’s comin up ahead
If the beast pulls the trigger could wind up dead!


7. SEEKERS OF THE TRUTH

Wastin my time servin my mind
For sense pleasures I can find
Gotta get back, back to the truth
You know it was left behind

It’s so easy to see - if you wanna be free
Don’t wanna be just a slave
Cause no matter how you choose
You know you’ll lose
If you ain’t looking for the truth

Searchin and searchin for something real
You gotta know how I feel
‘Cause I’ve been lookin after the truth
Rejected, those lies of your youth

You’ve seen the proof
This ain’t no spoof
They tried to bend the truth
And we won’t regret the things we’ve met
If we’re on the paths of righteousness

Now we gotta we gotta go back
Something ain‘t right so we gotta we gotta go back
Trace our steps and see what we’ve done
It’s time for us to go back to square one

You just can’t seem to see what I mean
You know what I’m talkin about
Cause I’ve been in bondage too long
Don’t you think it’s time to get out

See time has taken its toll and they’re in control
We can’t let this madness last
Gotta make our move
Get in the groove
We gotta do something fast


8. IT'S THE LIMIT

Why you messing around with me
Pushin me anyway
Values changing
But I can’t get caught in it today
We won’t lose with what we’ve got
Cause we’ll just sit and watch it all rot
Keep your ideas
But keep your distance from me
Keep off my back cause the things you do

I don’t wanna see
I don’t wanna see

Wanna see how far I can go
Test my patience see what I know
Just not happy with nothing to do
Getting bold when there’s more than two


9. HARD TIMES

Hard times are comin your way
You’re gonna have to rise above it some day
Organize your life and figure it out
Or you’ll go under without a doubt

Hard times! Hard times!
Seems I’m bein forced into a mold
Hard times! Hard times!
Forcin me and I’m growin cold

Hard times are comin through
But if you’re hard they won’t get to you
They’re gonna try to drive you into the ground
But never surrender, never go down!

Cro-Mag!
Skinhead!
Breakout!
Now!


10. BY MYSELF

Fightin it’s such a struggle and I got so
far got so far to go
Don’t wanna except no answers but I
ain’t got nothing got nothing to show

It’s such a struggle but I gotta do it
By myself
Can’t except no logic so I gotta do it
By myself

Such a lonely path but I can’t turn
My back can’t turn my back right now
See I gotta role to play
And I gotta fill it gotta fill it somehow
I set myself on this path and now
Now it’s just too late
I’d put it all aside but you see this madness
Just won’t wait

Talk nice things but see I’m really
I’m really overflowing with hate
I’m talkin I’m talkin but I never seem to motivate
The answers you say they’re outta reach but
First you gotta learn then only can you teach
You say I’m insecure but ain’t you
Scared of death cause everyone’s grabbing
Holdin for their final breath


11. DON'T TREAD ON ME

Lie to all your friends
The trouble never ends
You’re gonna take a fall
And I don’t care at all
I thought things were cool
But I guess I was a fool
And now I know
All about you
Stabbed me in the back someone I trusted
Let’s get things straight Don’t tread on me
You crossed me once - Don’t try it again
You didn’t learn - I’ll show you again
What goes around - comes back around
Revenge, revenge is sweet

Don’t tread on me


12. FACE THE FACTS

You’d better face the facts
It’s the blind leadin the blind
And there ain’t no turnin back
There’s a rhythm to this madness
And I think it’s gettin strange
I can feel it in the air It’s time
We gotta re-arrange
It’s time for us we gotta make
The crucial change

Face the facts
Nation against nation and it’s just
So plain to see
That’s the way cats and dogs wanna be
Hate to think what the future’s got
In store for me
Gotta a stomach full and just can’t
Take it no more


13. DO UNTO OTHERS

Ain’t really got nothing to say
It all comes across in a negative way
You, you best learn bout be humbled
Cause you too you’ll wind up stumbled

Not one bit of substance in a word they speak
When they get outspoken it’s only with the weak
See these wars, they’re happening and then you’re
asking why
But just stop by some slaughterhouse
And hear the animals cry

You missed the point it’s over your head
I guess you’d rather be negative instead
You can’t account for these things you’ve done
I’ll bet you think this M.O.I. is fun

Take you down low and show you some
things you’ve never seen
Riding that borderline
But there ain’t no thing called in between
Kick you with some advice and show
You now just what I mean


14. LIFE OF MY OWN

Memories of the times you had
That’s the way you see yourself
You fight for your rights
You fight to survive
You come into this world
With nothing except yourself

Do what you want
And how you want it
Feel it’s right - go out and do it
Think for yourself and think for the best
Or you’ll go down just like the rest

You come into this world
With nothing except yourself
You, you leave this world
With nothing except yourself


15. SIGNS OF THE TIMES

Signs of the times they’re all around us
No one will look you in the eye
You don’t know who to trust
I’m looking around me and don’t like what I see
Corruption all around me

Cause these, these are the signs of the times
Seems like they’re losin their minds
These are the signs of the times

Do you think we’re really progressin
Just seems to me like some steady regressin
I’m lookin on and watchin it corrode
Gotta hold back or I’m gonna explode

Take a look where we’re going
I’m seein the signs and what they’re showin
I’m totally in disbelief - of modern man
And all his grief

These are the signs of the times!


16. DEATH CAMPS

The organized slaughter of the innocent
Can't you see this is a hellish state we're in
No sympathy in their hearts at all
At the death camps in our midst

Execution without a trial
Think about that for a while
The day they're doomed they're doomed to be killed
So your foul desires can be fulfilled

Execution without a trial
No regret for life at all
Meat hooked conveyor belts line the walls
Don't it remind you of Buchenwald

You don't even see the genocide
I can see you only care for your own hide
And because of the ignorance that clouds your mind
You've left your compassion so far behind

You don't even know what it involves
Because you never see the bloodshed on the walls
Conditioned since childhood kept you from the truth
They just go on lying and poisoning the youth
It's time to be intelligent and open your mind
Reach within yourself and see what you find
Do you really wanna be responsible
For the brutal slaughter of the animals


17. DAYS OF CONFUSION

In these days of confusion
much illusions try to getcha
Try to trick you every single day
Much aggravation and frustration,
devastation always heading my way
And I know why I'm sufferin',
looking for satisfaction
my mind keeps leading me astray

And I know and I see spiritually
there's gotta be a better way

Can't get distracted from achieving
the ultimate goal in this human life
No desire to play those games
no desire to cause any others grief
I've seen the lies I changed my ways
And I just wanna make my stay here brief

No satisfaction just bad reactions
on this dangerous path that I've traveled through,
and I look back inside my mind
and thank God for the things I still didn't do

I look around I see the shape we're in
And I know I gotta stop living in sin
I guess I must have lost my mind
For how else could I ever be so blind
I've felt the pain of defeat
I've thrown myself at your feet
I've turned my back on what I used to be
I'll follow you to eternity
Once again you made me strong
Now I know I can go on
You are the conquerer of my fears
You are the reason I am here


18. THE ONLY ONE

I'll never forget when I looked in your eyes
My destiny unfolded to me
You tucked my soul, delivering me
From all of my pain, setting me free

I know I lost control, my mind was in a rage
But then you came to ease the pain
You are the only one, who makes me feel this way
This is not hard for me to see
The only one who makes me feel this way

When I hear your name there is no more fear
You're in my heart this is so clear
They'll be no more pain, once I join you again
I'm begging for you, to pull me through

When I hear your name,
just your name, when I hear your name

I won't forget the way I felt
when I first looked in your Lotus eyes
For the first time
in my life I could see what I must do,
I need to be with you, yes you, you are all I need
Your everlasting love for eternity
You are the only one who makes me feel this way
This is not hard for me to see


19. DOWN, BUT NOT OUT

The youth of today, run wild in the streets
They all try to win, in the face of defeat
They still, they kill, they're going straight to hell
They don't hear and they don't see that they're not free

When I walk down these city streets
I see the victims and the casualties
Do they stand, a chance today
In a world that's thrown them away

They race to the grave
Don't want to heal
Don't want to be saved

Abandoned buildings that should be homes
Abandoned children left to roam
Broken families broken dreams
In the night I hear their screams

Can't make your future or kill your past
With a spike in your arm or a shotgun blast
Till you have the strength to look within
You'll be fighting a battle you'll never win

Mortality suffered society said
That money is God and true faith is dead

I see it in their eyes this life they cannot cope
The system tells them lies, tries to stick us into giving up hope

We're down, we're down, but we're not out
There's still time to find what life's about
Is there a way of telling the troubled youth
That what they see on TV is not always the truth
We're down, we're down, but we're not out
There's till time to find what life's about


20. CRUSH THE DEMONIAC

Ignorant fools don't believe in the truth
They are doomed to live in illusion and fear
Cut loose the doubts that arise in your heart
The time of redemption is near

Now in these times of frustration and anger
We've come out of the darkness that kept us blind
With the torch and wisdom
and the sword of knowledge
We'll leave the corruption behind

Gotta kill, gotta fight, gotta crush Demoniac
Gotta wipe out, gotta destroy, gotta crush Demoniac

Demoniac reigns in their hatred and anger
And all of the sin that they bring
In the lie that "true" happiness can be found
In the pursuit of material things

Polluting our minds and corrupting the masses
With pride false attachment and greed
We've seen through their lies
and there's no compromise
We know that it's time we were freed

The Demoniac who are lost in themselves
and have no intelligence
Engage in unbeneficial,
horrible works meant to destroy the world

No we won't, no we won't,
no we won't ever serve their demands
Cause we know, cause we know,
cause we know the Lord and his plans

Gotta kill, gotta fight, gotta crush Demoniac
Gotta kill, gotta fight, gotta crush Demoniac
Gotta kill, gotta fight, gotta crush Demoniac
Gotta kill, gotta fight, gotta crush Demoniac


21. FUGITIVE

In this lifetime I know I found what's real
So hard I try to control my mind
I'm coming back, coming back
I feel it in my heart

I know I lived a life of strife
And this could be the last chance in this
Ad I know I got to change my ways
I know there ain't no compromise
I can be livin' a life of lies
Life of lies and I know I gotta change my ways

Times gonna getcha gotcha
it's creeping up on you
It's time to do the things
I've always known I had to do
I try, yes I try, how I long to be with you again

In this lifetime I see you everywhere
The pleasure and pain was all to my gain
I tried so hard looking so far
My faith this is my courage I must go on

I call to you savior of my soul help me please
I'm just begging to see the line that's drawn
between the good and bad
And I know I've got to change my ways
When I recall the things I've done

I can see I was completely mad
I know I cannot change my past
But with you I could change my destiny
How I long for you to set me free


22. THEN AND NOW

God has taken me for a life of crime
Misery and suffering and losing my mind
Trying to succeed but I was so very blind
There's no material pleasure that can satisfy time

Serving my senses with no hesitation
Never even thinking of my situation
Been smashed so many times and it made it so clear
That I was only living in illusion and fear

It's time to advance towards a spiritual state
Instead of serving your senses falling victim to fate
The strength is there inside you, it's never too late
So don't be lead astray by illusion and hate

I'm telling you, you gotta believe in him
Nothing else can save you,
open up your eyes, see the light
Hear the truth, nothing else could set you free
Be brave, be strong, you can't go wrong
Be brave, be strong, you can go on


23. AGE OF QUARREL

The war against the weak goes on continuously
Can't you smell the bodies burning
Taste of death in the air
Not for a cause but just for greed

Mad scientist experiment in torture and in pain
Murdering the helpless who's this meant to gain

Polluting creation the air the land and sea
Making this world a hell of toxic misery
For the benefit of man they interfere with nature's plan
Can you tell me what is going on

I look out my window and what do I see
Junkies, gangs and rape and poverty
Don't you see the signs things are out of hand
Don't you think it's time we gotta stop

This modern age so full of grief
I've turned away from its belief
I watch society digress
And it just looks like one big mess
I can't believe the things I hear and see
In this world there's no remorse
Now's the time we must change our course
Those of us who've seen the way
Must stand and fight for a brighter day
