1. NO MORE COPS

I dreamed last night
No more cops
It felt alright
No more cops
No need to fight
No more cops

‘Cause no one needs to steal
Everyone gets a meal
If it was only real
We’d need no more cops

We’re snug and warm
And safe in our home
And if we were left alone
We’d need no more cops

I dreamed last night, no police
An army-less world doomed to peace
And now as all my dreaming stops
I see it clear, we need no more cops

No need to fear
I’d want to cheer
And I wish you were here
Before my slumber stops

It seems to me
That if we’re really free
We need no more cops

No Holy War
No more God
No more rent
No more deeds
No more money
No more greed
No more hate
No more fear

No one unhappy
No one sad
No one ripped off
No one mad
But I awake here instead
I wish I had stayed in bed

I’d stay asleep in the deep
And in my thoughts I’d keep
No more cops
When life gets mean
Share in the dream
Until you scream
No more cops

I dreamed late last night
No more cops
No more cops
No more cops
No more cops!


2. KING OF THRASH

If you’re willing and you’re fit
Hold your own in the pit
If you’re a little out of your tree
Maybe you’ll grow up to be...

The King of Thrash
Forget the past
Mr. King of Thrash
Just have a blast
So grab a beer
The music’s fast
Just don’t get trashed
Mr. King of Thrash

King of Thrash self-appointed
King of Thrash self-ordained
King of Thrash self-anointed
Don’t settle for less
Be the best
The King of Thrash

At the Hamm’s Vat Resort
Or the Lower East side of New York
The jester smiles in the court...

Of the King of Thrash
Forget the past
Mr. King of Thrash
Just have a blast
So grab a beer
The music’s fast
Just don’t get trashed
Mr. King of Thrash

King!
Long live the King
Long live the King
Long live the King
Long live the King
Long live
The King of Thrash!


3. DRINK TO FORGET

Dropped out of school that day
Joined up right away
Drafted by the mid of May
Taught me how to obey
Had no cash to get away
Day to night to night to day
It didn’t have to be this way
But every day I have to pay
You asked me why, now I say

They said it’s kill or you’ll be killed
They said it’s what I had to do
They said it’s kill or you’ll be killed
They said it’s what I had to do
They said it’s kill or you’ll be killed
They said it’s what I had to do
Or in Vietnam I’d be one dead fool

I worked for the U.S. war machine
They paid me well to be so mean
Forever I will be in debt
The smell of bloodshed, hundreds dead
Bombs, men, crying children
The lovely women I shot dead
It could have been me instead
Those sights and sounds scream in my head

Now I drink and drink
Drink some more, drink some more, drink some more
Now I drink
Drink some more, drink some more, drink some more
Now I drink
Drink some more, drink some more, drink some more
Now I drink to forget

Every day the movie plays
Again, again inside my brain
‘Til I can’t take it anymore
Other laugh, but they don’t know
The pain I feel down to my soul

I didn’t know no better then and now each day I gotta...
I didn’t know no better then and now each day I gotta...
I didn’t know no better then and now each day I gotta...
I didn’t know no better then and now each day I gotta drink to forget

I carry scars head to toe, feel the pain you’ll never know
Napalm and Agent Orange are cancer causing my slow death
The sweetness of life has turned bitter to taste
The only friend I have left is the drink I drink to forget

I killed and fought for Uncle Sam
Now I kill my memories anyway I can
For the lives I took, I pay the debt
Every day I drink to forget

I gotta drink to forget
I gotta drink to forget
Drink, drink to forget


4. THE BIG PICTURE

The factories have been looking for me
They’re talking among themselves
Try to put me on their shelves
There’s a 9 to 5 slot they have got
Waiting for me
It’s the best one that they’ve got
But it’s not right for me

I don’t fit in the big picture
I don’t fit in the big picture

The big structure has been trying to get me
They want me for a day
To help me find the way
Fill out these forms for us
Do your best for us
‘Cause all we want from you
Is to tell you what to do

I don’t fit in the big picture
I don’t fit in the big picture

I don’t wanna play their game
I don’t wanna be the same
Like all the people on the street
Who always look so beat
They walk like their next step
May be the last one they may get

The factories have been looking for me
They’re talking among themselves
Try to put me on their shelves
Fill out these forms for us
Do your best for us
‘Cause all we want from you
Is to tell you what to do

I don’t fit in the big picture
I don’t fit in the big picture
I don’t fit in the big picture
I don’t fit in the big picture


5. SKATEBOARDS FROM HELL

Skateboards from hell
Skateboards from hell
Skateboards from hell
Watch out below!

Skateboards from hell
Skateboards from hell
Skateboards from hell
Watch out below!

Hey Joe, what do you know?
Go a little fast, go a little slow
Skin a knee, break a toe
Holy Moses, look out below!

Skateboards from hell
Skateboards from hell
Skateboards from hell
Gangway!

Skateboards from hell
Skateboards from hell
Skateboards from hell
Gangway!

My mom says to get a job
My youth too precious, I shall not
Looks so easy, see no fuss
My board is rolling under a bus

Now I lie here in pain
Feel like I was hit by a train
Dreams of skating must be insane
Singing this mournful refrain

Skateboards from hell
Skateboards from hell
Skateboards from hell
Run for your lives!

Skateboards from hell
Skateboards from hell
Skateboards from hell
Run for your lives!

Takes some skill and a little luck
Watch the car door, dodge a truck
Or you’ll feel like a hockey puck

Skateboards from hell
Skateboards from hell
Skateboards from hell

Skateboards from hell
Skateboards from hell
Skateboards from hell

Just one thing you should know
Before you go fast, learn to go slow
It can hurt a lot and I ain’t lying
I’ll ride again or die trying

Skateboards from hell
Skateboards from hell
Skateboards from hell
Look out below!


6. TOFUTTI

Tooti Fruity, Tofutti
Holy Moley, Guacamole
What you say, Tempeh
Hey baby, it’s crazy
Tooti Fruity, Tofutti

That’s right, we got shakes
We ain’t got no steaks
Cold and creamy and sweet on top
Smooth and dreamy and I just can’t stop

Give me a pint or make it a quart
I just can’t quit once I start

Tooti Fruity, Tofutti
Rooti Tooti, Tofutti
Tooti Fruity, Tofutti

7. SOUTH AFRICA IS FREE

We’re all working for the day
When the whole wide world will stand and say:
“All God’s Children got to have their freedom!”
Say: “All God’s children got to have their freedom!”
Say: “All God’s children got to have their freedom!”
Say: “All God’s children got to have their freedom!”

“South Africa is free from Apartheid!”
“South Africa is free from Apartheid!”
“South Africa is free from Apartheid!”
“South Africa is free from Apartheid!”

Apartheid has lost, the People have won
The People have won and now Apartheid is gone
We cannot live knowing what we know
With Apartheid and so Apartheid must go

“South Africa is free from Apartheid!”
“South Africa is free from Apartheid!”
“South Africa is free from Apartheid!”
“South Africa is free from Apartheid!”

The people have changed their minds today
And so Apartheid must go away
The winds of change blow and freedom seeds grow
And on thing we know Apartheid must go

“South Africa is free from Apartheid!”
“South Africa is free from Apartheid!”
“South Africa is free from Apartheid!”
“When will you and me be free from Apartheid?”

Say: “All God’s children got to have their freedom!”
Say: “All God’s children got to have their freedom!”
Say: “All God’s children got to have their freedom!”
Say: “All God’s children got to have their freedom!”

“South Africa is free from Apartheid!”
“South Africa is free from Apartheid!”
“South Africa is free from Apartheid!”
“South Africa is free from Apartheid!”

It’s been way too long
The people are strong
We’re on freedom’s side
Singing this song

We’re all working for the day
When the whole wide world will say:

“South Africa is free from Apartheid!”
“South Africa is free from Apartheid!”
“South Africa is free from Apartheid!”
“South Africa is free from Apartheid!”

And soon Atlanta will be free from Apartheid
And soon the Bronx will be free from Apartheid
And soon Big Mountain will be free from Apartheid
And what about, and what about, and what about Oakland?
Babies sobbing in Oakland
Babies dying in Oakland
And what about your hometown?

I said “South Africa is free from Apartheid!”
“South Africa is free from Apartheid!”
“South Africa is free from Apartheid!”
“When will you and me be free from Apartheid?”


8. ACCEPTABLE RISKS

Acceptable risks, the challenger’s lost
Acceptably risky, o-rings in frost
They trusted the dealer who stacked up the cards
Was Christa aware of the actual odds?

Acceptable: A word ominously vague
God knows what’s O.K. with Reagan or Haig
Risks estimated statistically cold
They’ve tied you up, it’s too late to fold

Acceptable risks? Acceptable by whom?
Closed door accountants in back smoky rooms
Untestable theory they built us a nuke
But live far away in case of a “fluke”

They sing a song of apple-pie and mom
Reactor disaster or Hydrogen H-bomb
The rescue trumpet blows but the cavalry’s gone

We are the losers in their dirty game
Fall over themselves, shifting the blame
The knee in our backs
Dead in our tracks
Statistical facts
Humanity lacks

Don’t wanna fuckin’ burn
Can’t we fuckin’ learn?
Like the buffalos or the Navahos
When the whole thing blows

That’s acceptable
Though quite regrettable
Cold war’s hot
Well, thanks a lot

Look out!


9. MISSILE DESTROYED CIVILIZATION

Our leaders claim necessity
The clergy says we’re blessed
The emergency broadcast system
Just said this is not a test
The unthinkable, unbelievable
It’s right before your eyes

Missile Destroyed Civilization!

For national security the government will lie
And those reports supporting their deterrent alibi
Words ring faint to empty when the red fills the sky
Reflecting in a fear in your loved one’s eye

No time left for scapegoats
Once it’s gone away
Air Force 1 is floating
Death count decoding
Radiants corroding
War heads exploding

Missile Destroyed Civilization!

The war machine masters
Their profits will abound
They’ll own it all someday with no left around
They’ll leave our blue-green planet all burnt and smoky brown

Safe in their rooms
Escaping the doom
The mushroom will bloom
Our homes are our tombs
Recklessness astounding
Tidal wave pounding
Earthquakes surrounding
Air raid sirens sounding

Missile Destroyed Civilization!

It wasn’t very long ago the U.S.A. was great
Not the land that even our friends have grown to hate
But economic interests must not decide our fate
For when the dies is cast, alas, it will be much too late

Reason why we’re hated abroad
East meets West on a world chess board
Common market, capitalist block
Pointing at Russia with our imperialist cock

Who’d believe Christ’s words of peace?
Would leave so many dying or deceased

Are you ready to say goodbye?
Kiss sweet life farewell and prepare to die
Or live it our mourning, shovel earth from above
On top of pine boxes holding ones your love
Holding back tears, remember her kiss
As you die from cancer, feebly shake your fist

Tidal wave surrounding
Recklessness astounding
Earthquakes surrounding
Air raid sirens sounding

Missile Destroyed Civilization!
Missile Destroyed Civilization!


10. SOUP KITCHEN CELEBRITY

Well, unknown people and auspicious folks
No big egos here ‘cause we’re all fucking broke
So brother don’t cut in front of me
‘Cause I’m a soup kitchen celebrity

It’s where the great, the greater and greatest meet
‘Cause you don’t feel too great with nothing to eat
And it’s good enough for you if it’s good enough for me
To be a soup kitchen celebrity

Yes, I’m a soup kitchen celebrity
At Martin de Porres from 12 to 3
When I wake up late and my stomach starts to howl
I grab the 7-Haight up to Cole and Waller
When I believe my calorie intake to be low
I go down to Divisadero to hear Coltrane blow
So big fellow, don’t put it right in front of me
‘Cause I’m a soup kitchen celebrity

Well, there’s Bob Noxious with Tim C2D
Hey! It’s Gary Floyd right next to me
And my favorite dishwasher gets in wherever he please
Mr. Darrin Peligro of the Dead Kennedys

So I don’t wanna hear when you’re in my home town
That you’re hungry and poor ‘cause we’re all chowing down
And if it’s good enough for you it’s good enough for me
To be a soup kitchen celebrity

You’ve an open invitation to swallow your pride
‘Cause if it had not been for soup kitchens
We all might have died
And if it’s good enough for you, it’s good enough for me
To be a soup kitchen celebrity

I’m a soup kitchen celebrity
At Martin de Porres from 12 to 3
When I wake up late and my stomach starts to howl
I grab the 7-Haight up to Cole and Waller
When I believe my calorie intake to be low
I go down to Divisadero to hear Coltrane blow
So don’t cut in line in front of me
‘Cause I’m a lip-smackin’, ever lovin’, home cookin’
“Where’s the seconds line?”
Soup Kitchen Celebrity


11. COUNTRY SQUAWK

When I walk into the store
They sell the chickens by the score
But eating dead birds just ain’t for me
I don’t eat roast beef or fish
Porky Pig is not my dish
Just go ahead and let your chickens be
In chicken circles it’s Adolph Perdue
Wants to feed featherless chicken to you
I don’t take orders from Colonel Sanders, do you?
I don’t wanna eat no hens
Not even every now or then
Wanna let all the chickens be

Bawk, bawk, bawk...
Swing to the east and swing to the west
Swing with the chickens you love best
Come on down and do the chicken squawk with me

I’m wishing Daffy lots of luck
‘Cause Elmer Fudd’s a hunting duck
They’re dreaming about their little fricassee
And Bugs Bunny is a friend of mine
Eating him I’d feel like Frankenstein
Eating flesh seems pretty foul to me
So on Thanksgiving or Christmas Eve
Give them turkeys a reprieve
Ain’t no turkey got to die for me

Bawk, bawk, bawk...
Swing to the east and swing to the west
Swing with the chickens you love best
Come on down and do the chicken squawk with me

Foghorn, Leghorn wrote to me
Say’s MDC’s alright by me
‘Cause we all learned to let our chickens free

Lordy Jesus, this must be the end
They got us eating our cartoon friends
Emancipate those little chickadees
Swing to the east and swing to the west
Swing to the chicken you love best
Come and do the chicken squawk with me

Bawk, bawk, bawk...
Swing to the east and swing to the west
Swing with the chickens you love best
Come on down and do the chicken squawk with me


12. PARADISE LOST

Who is murdering the women in Seattle?
Why are these murders allowed to continue?
Who is in charge? Who is responsible?
A million missing children

How is it ever going to stop if the neglect continues?
The psychological and sociological healing needs to take place

Not hide your head in the sand
Locked behind a wall
So smugly resolved

We want, we work for, we pray for
The Age of Aquarius
Human potential maximized
Evolution of our planet

We want to run through fields of flowers, of butterflies
Total bliss, natural harmony

Clean mountains, fresh air like a real paradise
So wonderful, right?

Heaven on earth
Did ya get it, got it, good?!

But the sad truth is
That there are some seriously sick people out there
In our Garden of Eden
Who use and hurt men, women and children
Rape, torture, and murder them
Throw them away, hefty bag mummies
To be dumped in shallow graves or anywhere

Sick people in this disturbed world
Lurking in the shadows
Preparing to steal the lives
Of our children and loved ones

No sorrow for the murdered
Avarice in the land of plenty
Who is murdering the women in Seattle?
Why are these murders allowed to continue?
Who is in charge? Who is responsible?
A million missing children!
America!
Paradise lost!
America!
Paradise lost!
