1. What Are You Gonna Do?

What are you gonna do, when they tell you what to do?

Taught at a young age, to respect the men in blue
And due their fucking state control, your forced to go into their schools
Where they teach us twisted history and make us pledge allegiance to their flag
It's time that the next generation learned to think for them-fucking-selves

What are you gonna do
When they tell you what to do? [X4]

Taught at a young age, what was wrong and what was right
And as they impose their rules of suspension they hope we won't put up a fight
As we sit in class and absorb their lies, graduate and get a fucking job
Well you don't need a paper to say you're smart if you can think for yourself

What are you gonna do
When they tell you what to do [X4]

Don't let them tell to you what to do
The teachers in your class or the bullies in your school
Don't let them tell you how to think
Your parents or some fucking shrink
Don't let the, tell you how to act
Wait till they see that you're dropping out of class
Don't let the school district tell you what to do
Tell everybody...FUCK YOU

2. Are We Dead Yet?

there's a heat down on the street
and it's radiating through my feet
there will be trouble in allston tonight
there's a kid with a silent shout
'cause he's livin' off of hand to mouth
hey generation. i'm talkin' to YOU.

are we dead yet?
NO!

street lamps flicker and the young wolves wail
as the vultures drag another off to jail
if they had their way you know
we would've been dead 20 years ago
do you think they really care about you?
NO WAY.

how's this for an answer?
FUCK YOU.

3. Stand Up And Fight

the 90's are almost over and hatred still runs deep
ignorant fucks in police suits still rule the fucking streets
the poor getting poorer while the rich stay fucking rich
equality is no where in sight if you wanna win you gotta fight

stand up and fight

what the hell are we supposed to do?
violence and despair are threating to destory the youth
everyday on the news more murder more rape
we're living in a dying world from which there's no escape

what the hell are we supposed to do?
what the fuck are we gonna do?
living in a violent world with no hope for the youth

4. Punks Attack

they all said we'd go away
we grow in numbers everyday
rebellion can't be quelled for long
someday we'll come back twice as strong
while your pockets are getting thick
you're gonna get a brick
when it's time for you to die
i'll look you right in the eye

[Chorus:]
when the punks attack we'll have your back
20 years ago and we ain't done shit
when the punks attack you better watch your back
'cause there's a brick with your name on it

this isn't just an idle threat
i swear you ain't seen nothing yet
lets keep the feeling on the street
where it belongs, it's where we meet
the youth are selling drugs, commiting crime
but that will only get you time
direct your anger towards their hate
i'm pro-violent against the state

[Chorus:]
when the punks attack we'll have your back
20 years ago and we ain't done shit
when the punks attack you better watch your back
'cause there's a brick with your name on it

you're gonna get yours too
you'll get whats coming to you

5. Dead And Gone

[Chorus]
You were ruining my life - and now you're dead and gone.
You were a violent drunk - and now you're dead and gone.
The damage had been caused - and now you're dead and gone.
On the day of your funeral my life was reborn.

[Verse 1]
The first time I saw you, I could sense bad luck.
It was eleven a.m., and you were drinking on my couch,
And then you moved in like a torrential rain storm.
You had nowhere to go, but I knew where you were going.

[Verse 2]
You smiled when I was home, but you abused when I was gone.
You hit my younger brothers, and then you'd taunt my mom.
And when I would confront you, you'd say it was a lie.
Well I was at your funeral - happy that you had died.

Dead and gone [x8]

[Verse 3]
That night in the kitchen that I trashed my house,
There was a fist fight, and we threw you out.
And you were loaded with no place to go,
So you blacked out and passed out in the snow.
We got a phone call saying that you were dead.
All the shit you put me through raced through my head.
You died on a dirty motel floor,
Now you can't make me suffer anymore.

Do you see what I see?
You were a violent drunk!
Do you see what I see?
You were ruining my life!
Do you see what I see?
The damage you have caused!
On the day of your funeral,
My life was reborn!

6. There's Still Hope

mistreated due to color of skin
how did this injustice fucking begin?
this terror's ensued for thousands of years
this terror's created millions of tears

all is not lost
there's still hope

we're throwing bricks and making noise
but the target's so big the bricks feel like toys
and when we shout they don't hear a word we say
but i'll never shutup and i'll never behave

revolution beings when you look within
so let not a word slip from your little white lip

my dreams got shattered when i finally came to learn
that people are so cruel and the power is so firm
mass organization has to be the key
but is there hope of unity?

7. Greed Is A Disease

if you're sick and disease stricken
the system's got a cure that you're not getting
getting unless you're one of the elite
and that's the only way that your illness can be beat
with a nice insurance policy their eyes will light up
these rich bastard doctors are shady and corrupt

to make a million dollars off of someone's pain
those heartless fuckin' bastards have no fuckin' shame
medicines and treatments they should all be free
but that will never happen in our society

if your broke, unhappy they take you in
if your heavily insured you should see their fuckin' grin
as you pop your pills, they pop their champaigne
as your paying off your debt, they're boarding a plane
your misfortune pays for their vacation
and the million dollar homes they resign in
they don't care about your health, only their wallets
their greed is a disease and we gotta stop it

greed is a disease

8. Piss Off

to be such a coward is a fucking disgrace
if you got a problem with me say it to my face
punk rock gossip reminds me of high school cliques
well i remember high school being full of dicks

scandalous lies gotta stop
show some proof or just shutup
show some proof or just fuck off

having that much free must fucking suck
piss off you worthless lying fuck
got a lot of nerve calling yourself punk

we don't need you, the scene don't need you

9. Don't Be Fooled

resist, rebel, stand up for yourself
they will try to bring you down
one day those tables will be turned around
we'll spit back in their face screaming "fuck the human race"
their oppression has fucked us for so long
then they say to rebel is wrong
don't believe them our rebellion ain't wrong no!

stand defiant, don't be fooled
don't let anyone tell you what you do rebellion is natural

when you're born they're telling you what to do
schools force their beliefs on you
say our ideals are just a phase, you'll grow out of it and cat your age
but i don't want you society, fuck a culture that rejects me
still i don't want the american dream, this "teen angst" don't die at 19

10. Cultural Genocide

you family's lived here for generations
but you can't afford it no more
we're making room for the corporations
got no room for the poor
rent is up, so you are out, we fall deaf to all your cries
this use to be your neighborhood
now you've been gentrified

what's really at the stake ain't real estate
you're talking about people's lives
rip the heart from a community
their culture surely dies

they call it progress but who moves ahead?
the people who control the wealth
'cause of their actions people end up dead
they only care about themselves
playing god, who goes? who stays?
who the fuck are you to decide?
they call it progress but it is a cultural genocide

gentrified, genocide

11. Sent To Die

i'm never gonna fight for this corrupt country
i never have, i never will
it's never done fucking anything for me
never!
i won't fight a war to power your wealth
fuck your power and your wealth
'cause everyday i'm at war with myself
a never ending fucking war

war!
sent to die are you free?
you murder, you're brainwashed
destroy their enemy
destroy, shoot, kill the enemy

i don't care about your senseless war
war!
or the fucked up shit your fighting for
i never had, i never will
millions die but the war will pass
do you really wanna die
fighting senseless wars for the upper class
your pain and torture is their gain

do you wanna die?

12. Tradition

you cling to an old world, of morals of a long past age
why is it hard to accept that things have changed?

you swallowed every word without and question
followed all you heard for the sake of tradition

say that your religious but your faith just ain't true
you salute a flag without asking what it did for you

you've been spoon feed your every thought
always did just as your taught
you have a right to think that way
but i question you integrity
alwasy forcing your views on me
but they're just slogans it's plain to see

fuck tradition

13. So This Is Freedom?

when a black man can't walk certain streets
without being hassled by the pigs
when the youth are forced into the school system
designed to break the will of the kids
when you don't feel safe walking the streets
of your own fucking hometown
just cause you look different
people always try to push you around

so this is freedom

live in a capitalist system that says
you gotta work just to survive
but when you're stuck in a dead end job
are you really alive?
then they tax us on what we earn
to pay for their fucking wars
the cold war, war on drugs
the secret war out on the poor

go to school, learn to trade, do as i say you better behave
if this is freedom how come i feel like a fucking slave?

14. Beat It

They Told Him Don't You Ever Come Around Here
Don't Wanna See Your Face, You Better Disappear
The Fire's In Their Eyes And Their Words Are Fucking Clear
So Beat It, Just Beat It

You Better Run, You Better Do What You Can
Don't Wanna See No Blood, Don't Be A Macho Man
You Wanna Be Tough, Better Do What You Can
So Beat It,
But You Wanna Be Bad

Beat It,
Beat It,
No One Wants To Be Defeated
Showin' How Fuckin Strong Is Your Arm
It Doesn't Matter Who's Wrong Or Right
Just Beat It

They're Out To Get You, Better Leave While You Can
Don't Wanna Be A Boy, You Wanna Be A Man
You Wanna Stay Alive, Better Do What You Can
So Beat It,
Just Beat It

You Have To Show Them That You're Really Not Scared
You're Playin' With Your Life, This Ain't No Truth Or Dare
They'll Kick You and They'll Beat You,
Then They'll Tell You It's Fair
So Beat It,
But You Wanna Be Bad

Beat It,
Beat It,
No One Wants To Be Defeated
Showin' How Fuckin Strong Is Your Arm
It Doesn't Matter Who's Wrong Or Right
Just Beat It,
Beat It,
No One Wants To Be Defeated
Showin' How Fuckin Strong Is Your Arm
It Doesn't Matter Who's Wrong Or Right
Just Beat It
