1. SMOKE THE SKY

Smoke my hoochie
You say that I’m the Devil
Reali-T.H.C.

Marco Polo hailed it heaven
Socrates inhaled it, too
Mister President, tell the truth

You’re the great exaggerators since 1932
Telling evils of the reefer
But all thru time we’ve smoked the sky

Smoke the sky!

Home grown vision compliments the senses
Opens up my mind

J.F.K. sold us freedom
Or was it just a business toke?
63 went up in smoke

He was the great seducer crawling from our TVs
Breathed hope into our future
Before he died he smoked the sky

Smoke the sky!

When inside we’ll smoke the sky!

B.C. hailed it heaven
I inhaled it, too
Reali-T.H.C.
When inside we’ll smoke the sky

Smoke the sky!

When inside we’ll smoke the sky!
When inside we’ll smoke the...
When inside we’ll toke the...
When inside we’ll smoke the sky

[Originally released by Cheap Trick]

Au revoir, auf wiedersehen
You won’t see another morning
You won’t see another evening

You won’t see another evening
Good bye

Buenos noches, oh señor
Señorita, see you later
Buenos noches, bye, bye

There are many here among us
Who feel their lives are a joke
And for you we sing this final song for you
There is no hope

I am, I am, I am
I said I wanna get next to you
I said I wanna get close to you
You wouldn’t want me have to hurt you too

4. THE BADGE

[Originally released by Poison Idea]

“Suck on this!”
[Sample from the film “Taxi Driver”, 1976]

Young and dumb, truth and justice, fantasy
Fresh out of the academy
Five-time loser bust his head, make your day
Unless you’re paid off, then you look away

Do you think this corruption will ever stop?
What makes a person want to be a cop?
Ran a red light, storm the house and bust the guy
Do you like to see his children cry?

Pick up a hooker and take her for a little ride
But get sucked off on the side
Sworn to serve and protect, forget the killing
Badge-wearing fascist villain

Pissed in the street, you bust the guy
Do you like to see his children cry?

The badge means you suck
A child lies there dead

As you look back
What goes through your head?

Some still call him pig
Some still call him pig

Young and tough, truth and justice, fantasy
Fresh out of the academy
Five-time loser bust his head, make your day
Unless you’re paid off, then you look away

He burned a flag, storm the house and bust the guy
Do you like to see his children cry?
Ran a red light, take her for a little ride
But get sucked off on the side

The badge means you suck
A child lies there dead

As you look back
What goes through your head?

Talk to them, you can work it out
You better not even try it
You make a play for his gun
They’ll kill you, say it was a riot
Riot!

What’s behind the badge?

“You, crazy son of a bitch!
Fucking son of a bitch!
You! I'll kill you! I'll kill you!
I'll kill you! I'll kill you!
I'll kill you! I'll fucking kill you!
Crazy son of a bitch, I'll kill you!”
[Sample from the film “Taxi Driver”, 1976]


5. JUST ONE FIX

- “Gimme the thorazine!”
- “You don’t need the thorazine! Relax!”
[Sample from the film “The Trip”, 1967]

“Never trust a junkie!”
[Sample from the film “Sid and Nancy”, 1986]

Blood keeps drinking away
Certain of its destination
Driving through New Orleans at night
Gotta find a destination

Just one fix!
Just one fix!
Just one fix!
Just one fix!

Life keeps slipping away
Fighting in a war with damnation
Poised, keep cutting away
I’m looking in through to salvation

Just one fix!
Just one fix!
Just one fix!
Just one fix!

“Just one fix!”
“Just one fix!”
“Just one fix!”
“Just one fix!”
[Samples from the film “The Man with the Golden Arm”, 1955]

“Monkey never dies”
“Monkey never dies”

Like if I boarded a train
Trying to take in another station
Join us and the choice will be made
Unless we kill the lie as a nation

Just one fix!
Just one fix!
Just one fix!
Just one fix!


6. SEASONS IN THE ABYSS

Razors edge outlines the dead
Incisions in my head
Anticipation the stimulation
To kill the exhilaration

Close your eyes
Look deep in your soul
Step outside yourself and let your mind go
Frozen eyes stare deep in your mind as you die

Close your eyes and forget your name
Step outside yourself and let your thoughts drain
As you go insane, go insane

Innate seed to watch you bleed
A demanding physical need
Desecrated, eviscerated
Times perpetuated

Close your eyes
Look deep in your soul
Step outside yourself and let your mind go
Frozen eyes stare deep in your mind as you die

Close your eyes and forget your name
Step outside yourself and let your thoughts drain
As you go insane, go insane

Inert flesh
A bloody tomb
A decorated splatter brightens the room
An execution, a sadist ritual
Mad intervals of mind residuals

Close your eyes
Look deep in your soul
Step outside yourself and let your mind go
Frozen eyes stare deep in your mind as you die

Close your eyes and forget your name
Step outside yourself and let your thoughts drain
As you go insane, go insane


7. MOTHER ‘93 [REMIX]

Mother
Tell your children not to walk my way
Tell your children not to hear my words
What they mean
What they say
Mother

Mother
Can you keep them in the dark for life?
Can you hide them from the waiting world?
Oh mother

Father
Gonna take your daughter out tonight
Gonna show her my world
Oh father

Not about to see your light
But if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it’s like
Till you’re bleeding

Not about to see your light
And if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it’s...

Mother
Tell your children not to hold my hand
Tell your children not to understand
Oh mother

Father
Do you wanna bang heads with me?
Do you wanna feel everything?
Oh father

Not about to see your light
And if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it’s like
Till you’re bleeding

Not about to see your light
And if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it’s...
Yeah!

Not about to see your light
But if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it’s like
Till you’re bleeding

Not about to see your light
And if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it’s like

Wo-oh!
Mother!
Yeah!


8. CHANGE

As I stand here I ponder greater things
You’re no longer a part of...
A part of your lover’s dreams
So much for your common complications
So much for your constant desperation
For what’s to come
It’s all been written...

Down, written down
But I feel that a change is...
A change is gonna come
I think I feel so alive now
And you know I feel that a change is...
A change is gonna come

As I sit here I’ll tell you greater things
You’re no longer a part of...
A part of someone else’s dreams
So much for your common escalations
So much for your constant fabrications
For what’s to come
It’s all been written down, down, down
I said for what’s to come
For what’s to come your way
It’s all been written...

Down, written down
But I feel that a change is...
A change is gonna come
I said I feel so alive now
And you know I feel that a change is...
A change is gonna come

I said a change is gonna come!

Keep on time
Keep on time
You run along
Keep on, child
Keep on, child
You move along
Keep on my time
I run around for you

Keep on time
Keep on time
You run along
Keep on, child
Keep on, child
You push it on
Keep on my time now
I run around for you

I run around for you!
Must you gotta keep on, keep it on!

You don’t know yet
You don’t know yet
You don’t know yet
But you’ll feel it in your soul
You don’t know yet
You don’t know yet
You don’t know yet
But you feel it in your soul

Do you feel that change?
C’mon!
Do you feel that change?
C’mon!

No!
As I lay here I want to fall asleep
No longer, no longer a part of your TV screen
No! A part of your TV dreams
I said so much for your...
So much for your common complications
So much for your constant desperation
For what’s to come it’s all been written...

Down, written down
But I feel that a change is...
A change is gonna come
I said I feel so alive now
And you know I feel that a change is...
A change is gonna come

Do you feel that change is gonna come?
Do you feel that change is gonna come?
Do you feel that change is gonna come?
I said I feel so alive now
And you know I feel that a change is...
A change is gonna come


9. SLAVE TO THE GRIND

You got me forced to crack my lids in two
I’m still stuck inside this rubber room
I gotta punch the clock that leads the blind
I’m just another gear in the assembly line
Oh no!

The noose gets tighter around my throat
But I ain’t at the end of my rope ‘cause...

I won’t be the one left behind
Can’t be king of the world if you’re slave to the grind
Tear down the rat racial slime
Can’t be king of the world if you’re slave to the grind

Get it?

A routine injection, a lethal dose
But my day in the sun ain’t even close
There’s no need to waste your prayers on me
You better mark my words ‘cause I’m history
Yes, indeed!

You might beg for mercy to get by
But I’d rather tear this thorn from my side

I won’t be the one left behind
Can’t be king of the world if you’re slave to the grind
Tear down the rat racial slime
Can’t be king of the world if you’re slave to the grind

They swallowed their daggers by turning their trick
They tore my intentions apart brick by brick
I’m sick of the jive
You talk verbal insecticide

They swallowed their daggers by turning their trick
They tore my intentions apart brick by brick
I’m sick of the jive
You talk verbal insecticide

I won’t be the one left behind
Can’t be king of the world if you’re slave to the grind
Tear down the rat racial slime
Can’t be king of the world if you’re slave to the grind

I said slave to the grind
Slave to the grind
Slave to the grind!


10. PULL ME UNDER [EDIT]

Lost in the sky
Clouds roll by and I roll with them
Arrows fly
Seas increase and then fall again

This world is spinning around me
The whole world keeps spinning around me
And all life is future to past
Every breath leaves me one less to my last

Pull me under
Pull me under
Pull me under
I’m not afraid

All that I feel is honor and spite
All I can do is to set it right

Dust fills my eyes
Clouds roll by and I roll with them
Centuries cry
Orders fly and I fall again

This world is spinning inside me
The whole world is spinning inside of me
And every day send future to past
Every breath brings me one less to my last

Pull me under
Pull me under
Pull me under
I’m not afraid

Living my life too much in the sun
Only until your will is done

Pull me under
Pull me under
Pull me under
I’m not afraid

All that I feel is honor and spite
All I can do is to set it right

Pull me under
Pull me under
Pull me under
I’m not afraid

Living my life too much in the sun
Only until your will is done

Pull me under
Pull me under
Pull me under
I’m not afraid

Living my life too much in the sun
Only until your will is done


11. NO JUSTICE

Justice in the world!

Freedom burns forever in the holy sun
It leads us into a battle that’s never won

Whatever I take or whatever I give
Doesn’t seem to matter anymore

When there’s no justice in the world
No justice in the world
You feed the fire when you say it’s all over
No justice in the world

When you realize that the devil’s got your number

It’s your decision to walk the mile when the road is long
It’s like religion wasting our lives on a worthless cause

Whatever I take or whatever I give
Doesn’t seem to matter anymore

When there’s no justice in the world
No justice in the world
You feed the fire when you say it’s all over
No justice in the world

When you realize that the devil’s got your number

When will freedom shine for us?
No, it ain’t over, no!

No justice in the world
Feed the fire
Justice in the world
No justice in the world
You feed the fire when you say it’s all over
No justice in the world

No justice in the world
You feed the fire when you say it’s all over
No justice in the world
Feed the fire
Justice in the world
No justice in the world
You feed the fire when you say it’s all over


12. BLACK FLAG

A year in the hole had taken its toll
When I took a good look at me
And what a surprise
The scope of my eyes could only see black

And I remember someone who was taking them two by two
And lately I’d become the one who’d have laughed at you too

There was a black flag on my morning
There was a black flag on my day
There was a black flag on everything around
And I was walking backwards again

Black flag
Black flag

I walked in the day my usual way
Looking through a 2x4
It colored my view, I couldn’t see you
Or maybe I just wouldn’t

And I remember the time when the sunlight fell on my head
And lately I’d become a member of the walking dead

There was a black flag on my morning
There was a black flag on my day
There was a black flag on everything around
And I was walking backwards again

And I know that I was wrong
It was up to me
If I wanted to see

And I remember the day when I saw the mask on my face
And I knew that it was time to put the thing in its place

I’d put the black flag on my morning
I’d put the black flag on my day
I’d put the black flag on everything around
And I was walking backwards again

Black flag on my morning
Black flag, black flag, on my day
I’d put the black flag on everything around
And I was walking backwards again

Black flag, on my morning
Black flag, black flag, on my day
I’d put the black flag on everything around
And I was walking backwards again

It was up to me
And I know that I was wrong


13. MIDLIFE CRISIS

Go on and wring my neck
Like when a rag gets wet
A little discipline
For my pet genius

My head is like lettuce
Go on dig your thumbs in
I cannot stop giving
I’m thirty-something

Sense of security
Like pockets jingling
Midlife crisis

Suck ingenuity
Down through the family tree

You’re perfect, yes, it’s true
But without me you’re only you
Your menstruating heart
It ain’t bleedin’ enough for two

It’s a midlife crisis
It’s a midlife crisis

What an inheritance
The salt and the Kleenex
Morbid self-attention
Bending my pinky back

A little discipline
A donor by habit
A little discipline
Rent an opinion

Sense of security
Holding blunt instrument
Midlife crisis

I’m a perfectionist
And perfect is a skinned knee

You’re perfect, yes, it’s true
But without me you’re only you
Your menstruating heart
It ain’t bleedin’ enough for two

It’s a midlife crisis
It’s a midlife crisis

You’re perfect, yes, it’s true
But without me you’re only you
Your menstruating heart
It ain’t bleedin’ enough for two

You’re perfect, yes, it’s true
But without me you’re only you
Your menstruating heart
It ain’t bleedin’ enough for two

You’re perfect, yes, it’s true
But without me you’re only you
Your menstruating heart
It ain’t bleedin’ enough for two

You’re perfect, yes, it’s true
But without me you’re only you
Your menstruating heart
It ain’t bleedin’ enough for two


14. ENEMY

Even though you’re a friend of mine
Explain to me what it means
All the hows and whys, should I draw the line
And take away the friend left in me

‘Cause I’ve lied, yes, I’ve lied to myself
In saying this is how it should be
I’ve lied so much, I don’t even care
I let you get the better of me

Tell me
Are you a friend?
Are you my enemy?
Tell me
Are you a friend?
Are you my enemy?

Even though you’re a part of me
I can’t confide in you this
Those walls I laid, that I built around are
To keep you down under my skin

‘Cause I’ve lied, yes, I’ve lied to myself
In saying this is how it should be
I’ve lied so much, I don’t even care
I let you get the better of me

Tell me
Are you a friend?
Are you my enemy?
Tell me
Are you a friend?
Are you my enemy?

Tell me
Are you a friend?
Are you my enemy?
Tell me
Are you a friend?
Are you my enemy?
Tell me
Are you a friend?
Are you my enemy?
Tell me
Are you a friend?
Are you my enemy?


15. TRUTH [EDIT]

Speak the truth, don’t you dare lie to me
I’ve seen it all before the way you disagree
The way you always attack all the things that you say
The way you turn your back and then you walk away
Shut your mouth and open up your eyes
You better take your time and try to realize
That no-one’s free from sin and when I look at you
I scream within “what is wrong with you?”

You raise yourself up to a higher degree
And look down in disgust at our misery
You’re no better than your enemy
But it’s easy to hate what you just can’t be
Don’t deny the fact that you’re a mortal man
You can’t escape from death when it’s close at hand
Don’t sit upon a pedestal and raise your voice
If you’re too deaf to listen to the people’s choice

Truth, tell me the truth, the truth, you sucker
Tell me the truth, tell me the truth, tell me the truth
The truth, you sucker
Truth, tell me the truth, the truth, you sucker
Tell me the truth, tell me the truth, tell me the truth
The truth, you sucker

You play us out and take us all for fools
But I never understood who even made the rules
I’ll make my stand against supremacy
‘Cause hypocritical governments threaten me
I know you ain’t blind and I know you’re aware
But you ego’s too big for you to even care
The doors are wide open but your eyes are closed
You’re unable to look any further than your nose

You open your mouth and all I hear is lies
You keep spreading your message that I despise
The game you’re playing is so easy to see
It’s just another repeat of our history
You talk about peace it’s a very strong word
It’s always being said but it’s never been heard
Hi-tech weapons are here to reassure it
But I’ve never seen a time when they’ve done shit for it

Truth, tell me the truth, the truth, you sucker
Tell me the truth, tell me the truth, tell me the truth
The truth, you sucker
Truth, tell me the truth, the truth, you sucker
Tell me the truth, tell me the truth, tell me the truth
The truth, you sucker

Truth, tell me the truth, the truth, you sucker
Tell me the truth, tell me the truth, tell me the truth
The truth, you sucker
Truth, tell me the truth, the truth, you sucker
Tell me the truth, tell me the truth, tell me the truth
The truth, you sucker

Kick it to me now ‘cause I just can’t figure
Take a small mistake and make a small one bigger
Equality’s a word, have you ever even heard it?
I guess not and you don’t deserve it
Turning your backs on the problems that surface
I get a feeling that you’re doing it on purpose
Your mind is slime so, please, resign
You can’t control your own life don’t try to rule mine

Truth, tell me the truth, the truth, you sucker
Tell me the truth, tell me the truth, tell me the truth
The truth, you sucker
Truth, tell me the truth, the truth, you sucker
Tell me the truth, tell me the truth, tell me the truth
The truth, you sucker

Truth, tell me the truth, the truth, you sucker
Tell me the truth, tell me the truth, tell me the truth
The truth, you sucker
Truth, tell me the truth, the truth, you sucker
Tell me the truth, tell me the truth, tell me the truth
The truth, you sucker


16. PARANOID

Finished with my woman ‘cause she couldn’t help me with my mind
People think I’m insane because I am frowning all the time

All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy
Think I’ll lose my mind if I don’t find something to pacify

Can you help me occupy my brain?
Oh yeah!

I need someone to show me the things in life that I can’t find
I can’t see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind

Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I cannot feel and love to me is so unreal

And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life, I wish I could but it’s too late
