1. EXPECTATIONS

Please don't expect too much from me
I may not turn out how you want me to be
I'm sorry if I let you down
But I must decide where my future's bound
Why don't you just slacken up
Off my back your expectations are too much
Off my back instead of just letting me be
You've got your goals set for me
I wish you could really be
Happy with the real me


2. CRUCIAL TIMES

I'm glad to see the scene working so tight
A positive commitment we made to unite
But there's still one thing that bothers me the most
The rest of this world just isn't this close
End in sight We must fight Crucial times
There's a youth crisis
You better start to care
Hundreds of kids going nowhere
So many kids not in the scene
Let's spread our message
Tell them what we mean!


3. I HAVE FAITH

Can't get down i've seen the light
I made the choice and chose the right
I'll put in trust take out the hate
Don't tell me I can't cause I have faith
I have faith in people they have faith in me
I have faith in my society
If you've got a problem put your trust in me
I'll never pretend that I can't see
I have faith in the human race
The world's got problems
The world's got fears
But my trust in people
Makes me not scared
The world's got riots
The world's got fights
But I trust people will see the light


4. YOUTH OF TODAY

The kids will make it happen
We're starting a new way
People
In the world today
Physically strong
Morally straight
Positive youth
We're the youth of today
Never fight each other
Use our heads before our fists
Then we'll kick down all the barriers
Of hate and prejudice
Live fast die young was just a fad,
For a bunch of losers
Who didn't take care.
I'm gonna live my life,
Breath every breath,
Look towards the future
And move straight ahead


5. TAKE A STAND

Say how you feel be who you want be for real
Voice your opinion
Just don't sit still speak your mind
At your free will Take a stand
Your ground don't let the world push you around


6. POSITIVE OUTLOOK

Through the clouds i see the light
My conscience tells me
What's wrong and right
Morals and goals deep inside
A bunch of feelings i can't hide,
But that's me
It's the way i live
My outlook on life is positive!
So what should i hide
Or try to conceal
All of these feelings
That i feel
Like to sit and talk about them
I want to stand and shout them!!


7. CAN'T CLOSE MY EYES

When I see violence on the street
When I see a friend getting beat
When I see youth so unaware
Can't close my eyes pretend I don't care
Can't close my eyes
When I see an unfair fight
Something tells me it's not right
Can't let these problems go unsolved
Won't close my eyes, i'll get involved


8. WE JUST MIGHT

You come drunk to the shows
Looking for a fight stumble my way
Maybe we might
Why do you act that way
I can't guess take a look at yourself
You're a mess you say you wanna fight
We just might
Stoned as a zombie your eyes are red
Head for the dance floor you're as good as dead


9. YOUTH CREW

Me you youth crew!
If the world was flat i'd grind the edge
To the positive youth my heart i pledge
X on my hand now take the oath
To positive youth to positive growth
To positive minds, to pure clean souls
These will be all my goals
Walk with me and my crew
There is so much shit we can do
And we won't stop until we're through


10. TAKE A STAND

I see you hide
Do you have pride
Afraid to share what's inside
You've been walked right by
A real nice guy
Overlooked and shoved aside
Can't hear your voice back in the crowd
Move up fornt and shout out loud !
Take a stand !
Take a stand, say what you feel
Be who you want, but be for real!
Voice your opinion,
Don't jsut sit still
Speak your mind at your free will
Take a stand !
Stand your ground
Don't let the world push you around
Take a stand !
Stand your ground
Don't let the world push you around !


11. STABBED IN THE BACK

We were brother, you and me
Loyal to our hardcore scene
Our thought, our aims,
Our goals were true
Then someting happened to you
You changed
I remember all the things you said
Shit you said !
I guess it was a just a buch of fucking lies
Fucking lies!
Stabbed us all in the back
Right in the back !
Don't you dare look me in the eyes !
All we stood for, all our dreams
You've forgotten what they mean
I tell you this
My thoughts are real
And i'll never change
The way I feel


12. WE JUST MIGHT

You come drunk to the shows
Looking for a fight stumble my way
Maybe we might
Why do you act that way
I can't guess take a look at yourself
You're a mess you say you Wanna fight
We just might
Stoned as a zombie your eyes are red
Head for the dance floor you're as good as dead


13. WAKE UP AND LIVE

Wake up and live
Wake up and live your life see what there is to see
I won't sit around all day cause life means more to me
Wake up and live
So many kids content to sleep their lives away
But I'm gona try to make the most out of this day
Wake up and live
It takes some motivation It takes some love for life
Why just sit complacent and let life pass you by
Boredom is a choice I choose not to make
Unlock that door, strive for more
There's a better path to take
Wake up and live breath every breath
Wake up and live until my death
Wake up and live so much to do
Wake up and live all of you
C'mon, open your eyes


14. STANDING HARD

Proud of who I am,
What I say and what I do proud of who I am,
What I say and what I do!
I'm standing hard !
