1. MAKE A CHANGE

I see it on the streets
As we walk by
What little value we place on human lives
But it's time we get priorities
Won't turn away any longer
It's time we make a change


2. THINKING STRAIGHT

Life's filled with many paths
Which one should I take ?
When the choice comes, I won't run
I'll be thinking straight !
Life's filled with conflicts... We'll face
We'll overcom them... Thinking straight !
Experiment with your mind
You see things I can't see
Well no thanks, friend
Because now it ends when you push that shit on me!
My mind is free to think and see.
Strong enough to resist temptation
We've been strong for all these years
Yes, life gets rough, so we'll stand tough and confront
All our fears!


3. 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 !


4. 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 !


5. HONESTY

You steal
And take from everyone else
Do you feel good about yourself ?
Instead of taking,
Try to give
And then you'll feel
Good about the way you live
Honesty
Too many ofus filled with greed
Overlookings those who need
Open your eyes and changes your ways
Open your heart
And break away !


6. ONE FAMILY

I have so much anticipation
For the future generations
I think kids today are growing up smart
With open minds ands open hearts
We can do it !
We'll put our heads to it
And then we'll be
One family!
A world filled with racial stress
But it seems every year less and less
Those old fashioned standards are going away
Tomorrow will be a brighter day !
We can do it
We'll put our heads to it
And then we'll be
One family !
So if you agree and want to help
Fisrt you must look inside yourself
Because unity begins with just us two
Then we'll watch it spread to all of you
We can do it
We'll put our heads to it
And then we'll be
One family !


7. BREAK DOWN THE WALLS

I used to think that label were just symbol of pride
But over time i've seen they only serve to divide
It's so easy to judge people by the way they seem to be
We must overcome this problem to live life peacfully
Break down the walls!
Yes, we'll break down the walls !
Look beyond the fashion or the crowd that they are in
Look beyond their riches or the color of their skin
Look beyond appearance and the truth you will find
Look for what's inside before you make up your mind
Break down the walls!
We'll break down the walls !


8. SHOUT IT

Not on this stage to take up space
I'm here to communicate face to face
I'll hold my head up high and... Shout it!
Look me in the eye and ... Shout it!
Hold my head up high... Shout it !
Criticized for speaking out
I guess you don't know what were about
I'll hold my head up high and... Shout it
Look you in the eyes and... Shout it!
Hold my head up high... Shout it !
Look you in the eyes and shout it!
We're just some friends who want to be heard
Through our music,
We'll spread our word
Trying our best
To figure what life is about
Seeing the good makes me
Want to shout! Shout it!
There's nthing wrong
With saying my part
The message i cry is from the heart
Won't change my ideas just to please you
You've built the walls, we're breaking through


9. TIME TO FORGIVE

In the back of my mind
It keeps me on edge !
A soul filled with love,
But i can't help
But feel contempt instead
So let's forget the past and
The grudges that we hold
If you don't do it so you
Know it will explode.
Let's shape a better way of life!
Time to forgive!
I'm sorry for the bottled up anger
What was it about?
It's time to forgive
I'm glad that it's all over now!


10. 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!!


11. 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 !


12. FREE AT LAST

This world is filled with competition and greed
A disgusting way of life but we'll try to break...
Free! Free at last!
We've got to break free !
We'll try... No... We'll do it!
The monotonous lives of the working class
We'll never fall into that rut
We'll keep fighting until we are free at last!


13. 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



14. 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


15. 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!


16. 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


17. YOUTH OF TODAY

20. 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


21. 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


22. 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
