1. TIME BOMB

If you wanna make the move
Then you better come in
It's just the ability to reason
That wears so thin
Living and dying and the stories that are true
Secrets to a good life is knowing when you're through

[Chorus]
Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac
Yeah, the boy's a time bomb


Well, he's back in the hole where they got him living
Like a rat but he's smarter than that nine lives
Like a cat 15 years old take him to the youth authority home
First thing you learn is that you got to make it
In this world alone

[Chorus]
Now he's gotten out he's gotten free he's gotta go gotta car
21 years old he's runnin' numbers from the bar
His pager's beepin' he's got in deep in
Whatever he can move on in you know that kid's a creepin'

[Chorus]
The boy’s a time bomb

Tears come from the razor that's been tattooed below
His eye his mother cries she knows that he is strong enough
To die he's rollin' in the Cadillac it's midnight sunroof is Down
Three shots rung out, the hero's dead, the new king is crowned.

[Chorus x2]
Ohh, time bomb


2. THE WARS END

Little Sammy was a punk rocker
You know his mother never understand him
Went to his room and smashed his Billy Bragg record
Didn't want him to hear that communist lecture

Little Sammy was a punk rocker
You know his mother tried to take him to war
Sammy now the war is over now we're at the wars end

Little Sammy was a punk rocker
Now it's time for you to leave home


3. BLAST' EM

He didn't see it comin' until it was too late
He had a bad feelin?, can't hesitate
And at the end of the day he was so tired
And he looked at the television
And whose the fuckin liar

He hates society, he thinks it's to big
It's just about killin' a man with his ring
And he knew what was happening, millions in gold
He's the first on the case and there's a murder to shoot

Bright lights, here comes the night
Interrogate the kid with the .357

I'm gonna - I'm gonna blast em
I'm gonna - I'm gonna blast em
I'm gonna - I'm gonna blast em
I'm gonna - I'm gonna blast em

Question the ethics, right or wrong
Secret identity started so young
He never made friends, ah don't get too close
For a man who's got nothin', he's just got the mercy

His family never knows the truth
Cause he gets caught when he tells the truth
No friends to lose or time to betray
The rendition from the papers gonna bake him again

Bright lights, here comes the night
Interrogate the kid with the .357

I'm gonna - I'm gonna blast em
I'm gonna - I'm gonna blast em
I'm gonna - I'm gonna blast em
I'm gonna - I'm gonna blast em

See through his eyes, his eyes alone
Intensified anger, can't be controlled
He turned his indiscretion, he brought it all down
If there was ever force of reason it could never be found.

The timing was perfect, this kid he was cleared
Computers down, he's clasped his fear
A different mind lives in a way
It's a good good thing that he got it straight

Bright lights, here comes the night
Interrogate the kid with the .357
I'm gonna - I'm gonna blast em
I'm gonna - I'm gonna blast em
I'm gonna - I'm gonna blast em
I'm gonna - I'm gonna blast em
