1. RUNNING SCARED

You never cared!
Can't change my heart. Can't change what I'm about.

Test my sincerity my spirit what I shout. The times we shared all the things you said I look around and you're no where to be found.

Confidence enough to stand by my words I live and I breathe and I want to be heard I won't let you force me to the back.
Overcome the obstacles that stand in my path.

Accept all the consequences of my actions Fueled by the convictionand goals of my passion.
All you fucking said it didn't mean shit. When things got hard you gave in and quit.

First sign of trouble and you're running scared. It's plain as day you never fucking cared Don't give me that shit about people changing It's just an excuse because you couldn't hang in.
All you fucking said it didn't mean shit. When things got hard you gave in and quit I won't rely on the support of a chemical crutch...

NO! Beat ploys to destroy me to the punch. To the fucking punch!
You... Never... Cared Did you ever believe in the way you lived? And how about now? Are you proud? No... You never fucking cared!


2. REFUSE TO CHANGE

We looked you in the eye. And expressed our views. So next time you cross us You've got no excuse.

You know how we feel. You know we're for real. Our beliefs are fierce and we will not yield. Don't come near us with your words of hate. Don't come near us when you're in that state.

They've altered your mind and distorted your views. But you can't blame them because You except the abuse. You know you're wrong but refuse to change. It's not you, it's your ways I hate.

Don't come near us No! Keep it away! Don't come near us with your words of hate. Don't come near us when you're in that state. You know you're wrong but you refuse to change.


3. THE SAME SIDE

It's so easy to slip back. But it's vital that we stay on track.
Come together and move as one. Stride forward and we'll get things done.

Rise to the challenge. Don't turn and run away. You only get one chance. To live this fucking day.

Forget about those boundaries that you set. Take those limits right out of your head. There's no question that it can be done. Commit yourself and the battles already won.

Don't lose sight of your goals What the future holds. It can be so fucking bright. Don't throw in the towel without a fight. There's nothing stopping you. From reaching your full potential.

Take charge and have your say. Don't let it all slip away Forget about those boundaries that you set. Take those limits right out of your head. There's no question that it can be done. Commit yourself and the battles already won Commitment... conquers... all!

That stands in your way. There's nothing that we cannot achieve. If we work together as a team. Don't get caught up in who's right. Remember we're on the same fucking side.


4. WE KNOW THE TRUTH.

People like you make me so fucking sick. Pushing your poison in my face. Well face up to this.

Preying on the innocent. Strike them while they're young. Advertising ploys convince them that they're having fun.

Our future lies in strength and. Our strength lies in youth. Your fucked up products may be legal but... We know the truth!

The war on drugs what a fucking joke. They'd never ban the products that help them fucking cope.

Never mind the lives wasted everyday. For the right amount they'll look the other way.


5. STILL LIVES

We're in this together and I won't forget. What lies in the past still lives inside of us. And when that moment comes and we all release.

It breaks free. Sometimes called spirit and other times pride. Strength, goals, holding true. All these feelings build inside. And what we take for granted may not always last.

We've lasted so long but let's not waste. What time we've got left it's not as much as you think I wish this could last forever. But sooner or later, It breaks free. Sometimes called spirit and other times pride. Strength, goals, holding true.

All these feelings build inside and what we take for granted may not always last.

We won't forget what lies in the past. Take time to appreciate what we hold so dear.
Because it may all be gone so fucking fast. And when that moment comes and we all release, It breaks free.


6. YOU TAUGHT THEM

You wonder why crime's on the rise.

Kids are willing to compromise their futures by getting high. And you still don't realize You taught them...It was you, you taught them to waste their lives.


7. LOST SIGHT

You say it's all been said before. Well that just fucking shows that you still have no idea of what this means to us.

You lost sight of something that you once lived for. So you come down on us for reminding you of what you used to be. You lost sight... Your goals changed Can't bring us down...

Our spirit remains. We'll keep on spreading this message that needs to get through. You think we're going to slow down because of negative words from you. You said we'd never make it this far and we're aiming for so much more.

We're coming back louder and stronger than before. You lost sight... Your goals changed Can't bring us down... Our spirit remains You lost sight.

Your goals, they changed I know we're not saying anything all that new but it still needs to be said because of people just like you maybe when all the drugs are gone and the streets are fucking clean then maybe we'll stop but until then this is still our scene.


8. BACK ON TRACK

You thought it was dead but now it's back. It's time to get the scene.Back on track.

The fun has been gone for much too long. It's 97 and it's coming back strong. Your progression look what it's done. Divided the scene now you're on the run. Unified and we're taking it back.

It's time to get the scene. Back on track.


9. OPPORTUNITIES

Opportunities that I've lost.

Maybe I cared too much I knew exactly what to say but somehow I was afraid. Seeing a wrong I want to make right. Wanting to speak but not always ready. Seeing a wrong I want to make right wanting to speak and now I'm ready to fight.

Here's where it stops and here's where it starts. It's time to stand up and do my fucking par Stand... up... and have your say. Mistakes made in the past. Feelings of failure but I won't let that last. No one's perfect we all have to learn I may not succeed but I'll take my turn.

Seeing a wrong I want to make right. Wanting to speak but not always ready. Seeing a wrong I want to make right. Wanting to speak and now I'm ready to fight.

Here's where it stops and here's where it starts. It's time to stand up and do my fucking part Stand... up... and have your say.

It's time to stand up for what you believe. Don't let them have their way. You can have your say Let's motivate ourselves and show some drive and we'll be one step closer towards all we fucking strive.


10. BACK IT UP

You're drunk, you're out of your mind. You talk so fucking big. You laugh. You think you'll show us how tough you are but you're not thinking straight and you're going to push us too fucking far.

Back to back. Shoulder to shoulder. Positive youth straight, clean and sober United as one in control Brace yourself because we're taking hold of our minds and our streets. Your lies and poisons can not defeat our honesty, sincerity making our words reality.

You can try to hold us down but we'll rise back up. You're just wasting your energy because we're never giving up. You think we're out numbered but we're about to break that bottle of courage over your fucking head. Back to back. Shoulder to shoulder.

Positive youth straight clean and sober. United as one in control Brace yourself because we're taking hold of our minds and our streets Your lies and poisons can not defeat our honesty, sincerity making our words reality. Back it up. You can try to hold us down but we'll rise back up.

You're just wasting your energy because we're never giving up in what we believe We're never giving up. You're drunk, you're out of your mind You talk so fucking big. Well I hope you're prepared to Back it up!


11. FALSE CONVICTIONS

Your false convictions and your opinions. What are they today? Going back and forth, trying to speak your mind but you don't even have one of your own. Why do you pretend to be so concerned? Acting like you care when last year you laughed at us and our beliefs.

You want us to think that you've changed But we know better. You changed your style to become someone else. Some people... never change. They never change! You changed your friends to become someone else. Some people... never change. They never change! You changed your views to become someone else.

Some people... never change. They never change! You think you've got us fooled but you're just fooling yourself. Some people... never change They never change! You'll never know what it's about remember when you laughed You fucking laughed at us And now you want to be just like us.

Some people... never change!


12. FRAME OF MIND

You want to spread rumors. You want to talk some shit. Well that's fine, just tell me what's your frame of mind? You want to turn this into something that it's not should have stayed clear from the start.

Make yourself out to be the victim and you still don't see that it was your decision. Made your choice and won't even try to open your mind and see through my eyes. Put aside what's blinding your sight and you may see things under a different light.

Want to talk shit? Well that's not my game. Just look at the truth. You should hang your head in shame. In shame! You want to spread rumors well that's fine Just don't expect our support the next time you come our way with that two faced grin.

And you still don't see that you can not win. Made your choice when you spread your lies but we've seen what you'd like to hide on the surface you may appear to be right.

What's done in the dark always comes to light.


13. OUR TIMES

The feelings we have inside the inner force that makes us try our goals seem so fucking clear. Convictions that can't be swayed by fear. Now we're young and our ideals are strong but will we have the strength to carry on when times change and years pass by.

Will we keep alive our spirit and drive. Getting older but not growing old. It's my life and I can't be told to do what they say is right I won't surrender with out a fight I'm not sure where I'm going in my life but I'll try my hardest to keep my sight.

I'll remember these times when they're in the past. These are our times. Let's make them fucking last. These are our times. The feelings we have inside. The inner force that makes us try Our goals seem so fucking clear.

Convictions that can't be swayed by fear.


14. STRONGER THAN BEFORE

Thought we'd break, No! Thought you could break us. Thought we'd never last. Called us a joke and talked so much trash. Wouldn't give us a chance. So we made our own path. Tried so hard to cut us but never left a scratch. Now we're still here standing strong. Bet against us we'll overcome the odds.

I'll remember what you said your hateful words. We'll be back again stronger than before. We'll be back... Stronger... than before. We've worked to hard to throw it all away. Didn't believe us when we said we were here to stay. Stand up for what I believe even if I'm knocked to the ground.

Won't ignore what's wrong without making a sound. Now we're still here standing strong. Bet against us we'll overcome the odds. I'll remember what you said your hateful words.

We'll be back again stronger than before. We'll be back... Stronger... than before! I know you'd love to see us fall but you've got an awful long wait ahead of you because we're just getting started.

All the feelings and ideals that we hold don't mean a thing if under pressure. We fucking fold you can try to knock us down but it's going to be you that hits the fucking ground.

Thought we'd break... No! Thought you could break us. Thought we'd never last. Called us a joke and talked so much trash. Wouldn't give us a chance. So we made our own path. Tried so hard to cut us but never left a scratch.

Not a fucking scratch!
