1. S.U.B.C.

Looking for sex, nothing less
We need the thrill to get our fill
With our Mace, the will of the youth
The time has come to fully take our place

Among such problems of this life
We shall endure
Among such problems of this world
We shall endure

Stand up and be counted
Now the kids scream in the night
Stand up and be counted
Now the world wants to fight
Stand up and be counted
Now as we march to war
Stand up and be counted
It’s time the youth evens the score!

We were tempted by your lies
But now we lift our wings and fly
We’re the razor to your knife
With a meaning for your life

Grab the risk
Scream for more
We’ll have their heads hit the floor
We’ll have their heads hit the floor

Stand up and be counted
Now the kids scream in the night
Stand up and be counted
Now the world wants to fight
Stand up and be counted
Now as we march to war
Stand up and be counted
It’s time the youth evens the score!

Stand up and be counted
Now the kids scream in the night
Stand up and be counted
Now the world wants to fight
Stand up and be counted
Now as we march to war
Stand up and be counted

Shout! Shout!
It’s up to you
What you think and what you can do
You knew the end was coming
Along the fate of this land
So let’s fight to change the end of man

Sit back, watch the devil laugh
Watch those fools make you burn
Bring death to each other
But no! We unite and start the fight

Break the chains of society’s games
Break the chains of society’s games

Stand up and be counted
Now the kids scream in the night
Stand up and be counted
Now the world wants to fight
Stand up and be counted
Now as we march to war
Stand up and be counted
It’s time the youth evens the score!


2. SMOKING GUN

He rides into the west
His back to the dying east
He feels it in his breast
As he goes into the burning heat
And feast upon the lizard meat
He knows he is the best
They stand before him now
But fall to the earth before the plow
His aim is always true
Screaming death for all he meets
Another soul for fate to eat
They die before him now

He lives a life so fast
He knows that life can never last
He’s not the only one
To make a stand by a smoking gun!

Gallows or the gun
A life well lived is on the run
Of never turning back
It’s full ahead and full attack
Another notch for keeping track
Another dying fool
And when he meets the end
A lonely grave will be his friend
The tale that will be told
A piece of lead within his chest
Another shooter’s proven best
A legend laid to rest

He lives a life so fast
He knows that life can never last
He’ll watch the bodies fall
By a smoking gun that conquers all!

He rides into the west
His back to the dying east
He feels it in his breast
As he goes to face the burning heat
And feast upon the lizard meat
He knows he is the best

He lives a life so fast
He knows that life can never last
He’s not the only one
To make a stand by a smoking gun!


3. THE INTRODUCTION

Well, listen now and watch very close
You’ve got to see a sign of us going
And then we’ll talk into your dreams

Introducing the thought you might dread
That one day you’ll die and rot away
Grab your fears deep inside you
There’s no turning back, you know too much

It’s not so bad, it’s not that you’re insane
The only difference is you’re not breathing
You’ve seen the good, you’ve seen the bad
Make your choice now, won’t you join us?
The man who told you to stay away
He’s the angel, the angel of death

If you could see
See where we’re headin’
And then we’ll give you the time and place to meet
And then we’re having a formal introduction

We’ll listen now to a story of the dead
And then we’ll give you the time and place to meet
And then we’re having a formal introduction

Introducing the thought you might dread
That one day you will die and rot away
Grab your fears deep inside you
There’s no turning back, you know too much


4. VIOLENT WORLD

“...und daẞ, und daẞ
- wenn diese gequälten Kreaturen kein Recht
und keine Hilfe selbst finden könen,
sie beides von uns bekommen warden!”

Translation:
“If these tortured creatures can find
neither justice nor help by themselves,
then they will receive both from us!”

(Excerpt of Hitler’s closing speech at the
NSDAP congress in Nuremberg,
September 12, 1938)

Terrorist attacks, communist stats
Channel 5 lets us know where the world’s at
Little boy got his brains blown out
‘Cause mommy didn’t know what he was talking about
Religious extremist, left wing feminist
Fighting to bring censorship about
Caught up in the irrelevant, the future
To hell with it!

Isn’t it a beautiful world we live in?
Isn’t it fun?
Was it suicide or just another homicide?
Guns killing men
Or is it men killing with guns?
Whatever it is
Isn’t it a beautiful world we live in?
Isn’t it fun?

Death, our favorite thought
Fear, our only emotion
Squirtin’ blood, body mucose
Limb cut off, clean is the coolest
Take by force, live by violence
Animal instincts coming out
Taste of blood in our mouth
Future has arrived
The strong will survive!

Isn’t it a beautiful world we live in?
Isn’t it fun?
Was it suicide or just another homicide?
Guns killing men
Or is it men killing with guns?
Whatever it is
Isn’t it a beautiful world we live in?
Isn’t it fun?

Our barbarian past is coming back
Sinister leaders molesting our minds
Keeping us busy, occupying our time
Flesh eating man through the loopholes of justice he ran
Building bombs in front of out face, blinded truth
Peace through the nuclear arms race

Isn’t it a beautiful world we live in?
Isn’t it fun?
Was it suicide or just another homicide?
Guns killing men
Or is it men killing with guns?
Whatever it is
Isn’t it a beautiful world we live in?
Isn’t it fun?

Isn’t it a beautiful world we live in?
Isn’t it fun?
Was it suicide or just another homicide?
Guns killing men
Or is it men killing with guns?
Whatever it is
Isn’t it a beautiful world we live in?
Isn’t it fun?


5. DRILLING FOR BRAINS

Strapped to a table
Stainless steel, Dr. Smiles
Cranial drill
They plan to take my life away
Drill me down into the grave

Drilling
Drilling for brains
Drilling
Drilling for brains

White room bathed in a sterile light
Probing bit that’s cold as ice
Burrows down deep within my skull

Drilling
Drilling for brains
Drilling
Drilling for brains

“Nurse, cranial drill, please!”
“Thank you!”

Vision fades to a senseless dream
Crimson stains my agony
Homicidal surgical team
Inevitable permanent lobotomy

Drilling
Drilling for brains
Drilling
Drilling for brains


6. MARINE CORPSE

“Ever since this great country began
Our government has been taking a small group of people
Shaving their heads and turning them into complete fucking assholes
Well, this song is about the few, the proud, the Marine...”

Chained to normality
Numb and conditioned by society to take your given position
Something different you don’t understand
TV image assault, cloned to be a macho man
Red, white and blue, American all the way through
Tell the world you’re gonna serve your country, pay your dues
Marines offer you your dream but things aren’t always the way they seem

Marine corpse
You think it’s cool, you think it’s tough
Marine corpse
Shoot a gun for a barrel of fun
Marine corpse
Don’t need to think for yourself
Marine corpse
Body bags, minds torn to rags

You’re a Marine to the core
But I wish I knew what you were fighting for
Hide behind your uniform
First to get drunk, first to start a fight!

Because that kids’ hair you didn’t like
Just a component part of the machine
Short term win, satisfaction and self-respect
Gone with the wind

Marine corpse
You think it’s cool, you think it’s tough
Marine corpse
Shoot a gun for a barrel of fun
Marine corpse
Don’t need to think for yourself
Marine corpse
Body bags, minds torn to rags

Left! Right! Left! Right!
Left! Right! Left! Right!
Left! Right! Left! Right!
Left! Right! Left! Right!
Left! Right! Left! Right!
Left! Right! Left to die!

Left! Right! Left! Right!
Left! Right! No reason why!

Chained to normality
Numb and conditioned by society to take your given position
Something different you don’t understand
TV image assault, cloned to be a macho man
Red, white and blue, American all the way through
Tell the world you’re gonna serve your country, pay your dues
Marines offer you your dream but things aren’t always the way they seem

Marine corpse
You think it’s cool, you think it’s tough
Marine corpse
Shoot a gun for a barrel of fun
Marine corpse
Don’t need to think for yourself
Marine corpse
Body bags, minds torn to rags


7. ACT OF WAR

It’s an act of war
That’s all I hear every day
It’s an act of war
When will it start anyway?
Political generals fuckin’ with my head
Before I know it, gonna end up dead

I was born in the 60’s before Vietnam
Grew up hearing war stories from my old man
He preached on World War II, said it just got through
And talked about Korea, he’d be so glad to meet ya
Throw ya in a uniform and strap on some boots
Give ya an M-16 and some bullets to shoot

It’s an act of war
That’s all I hear every day
It’s an act of war
When will it start anyway?
Political generals fuckin’ with my head
Before I know it, gonna end up dead

Now it’s past ‘84, Big Brother should be here
And World War III is oh so near
U.S.S.R. distributes nuclear arms
And the SALT talks say the world won’t be harmed
But what do they know? What do they care?
They’re on top of the world with their noses in the air
While the proletariats work and wait through the night
For the doomsday device to start the fight

“Congress has passed a resolution
Outlawing Russia forever
We begin bombing in 5 minutes”

It’s an act of war
That’s all I hear every day
It’s an act of war
When will it start anyway?
Political generals fuckin’ with my head
Before I know it, gonna end up dead

It’s an act of war, can’t you see?
It’s gonna beat the life out of you and me
There must be something we can do
Something we can say
We must take action and start today


8. ROOM 101

The dream is true, the fields are green
O’Brian stands here next to me
Purveying now the scenery
He taught my mind to think anew
How 5 could equal 2 + 2
And then he took me to the room
There a fear was blessed to me
Big Brother’s final victory
The rats attack the face I see

Freedom is slavery
Ignorance is strength
War is peace
Your crimes aren’t what you think
There is no hiding
Big Brother’s watching you
You can’t escape up
No matter what you do

I cannot hide beneath his stare
Big Brother’s eyes are always there
He knows my every thought and fear
Arrested to the thought police
Who tortured and conditioned me
Until I learned to double think
Room 101 ends my dream
Big Brother’s final victory
The rats attack the face I see

Freedom is slavery
Ignorance is strength
War is peace
Your crimes aren’t what you think
There is no hiding
Big Brother’s watching you
You can’t escape up
No matter what you do


9. MACE

Stealing from us all the time like you do with other bands
You say that you promote the shows but all you do is take the dough
Stick us with legal clauses that won’t allow us to say “fuck”
Our music really burns your balls, you hope that we run out of luck

You know who you are
You know what you’ve done
Despite our attitudes
You hate what we present

Commercial music is your bag, you’re just a fizzy long-haired fag
You say that you promote the shows but all you do is take the dough
How can you expect to win against the hardcore that you fight
Metalcore will crush your head, your blood will stain the floor tonight

You know who you are
You know what you’ve done
Despite our attitudes
You hate what we present

Stealing from us all the time like you do with other bands

You know what you’ve done
