1. HUMAN PIÑATA

bruised and abused, but still easily amused
can't figure why he still comes around
nobody hates him, they just like to humiliate him
then he'll take the shirt off his back for you

[chorus]
sticks and stones can't break his bones
he'll come back swinging at you
sticks and stones can't break his bones
he's the human pinata

everyone's a character of the dream
nothing else can bring him down
he'll be the player on the other team
just to make the game complete

[chorus]

he does things his way, not like anyone else
a strong believer in himself
the laugh's on him, and it doesn't matter
he'll leave the attitude on the shelf

[chorus]



2. Symptomatic

there's something in the air
something that i can't place
a taste that I can't smell
a smell that I can't taste

I'm walking in circles
trying to find the way
the path that I've chosen
has stops along the way

[chorus]

I'm out of line....
I'm out of place...
I can't control my mind........
loss of power and all the time.......
when your actions have no bind.........
suffocate and try to find........

who took my convenience
that I have everyday
someone give me a slogan
because I deserve a break today

I'll stay in my position
just keep living on borrowed time
take that train to nowhere
so I can be with my own kind

I feel like I've been cheated
like an animal from it's skin
who do I complain to
who am I to blame

I'll jeopardize my karma
in order to fit in
somehow I manage to flush the fashion
and follow my own trend



3. Love Letter

my girl she supports me and that's not supposed to be
when she starts to fight with me she knows that I can't win
sometimes she believes in me and gives me a big kiss
then, sometimes she doesn't I start to get real pissed

I wrote her this love letter
but she don't know how to read

it happens once a month we get into a fight
arguing in circles and not knowing who's wrong or right
tempers start flaring and articles start to fly
she has all her friends convinced that I'm a crazy guy

when it's time to walk alone-
the feeling hits me in the place
that place that only she can touch
not just any pretty face

she's a queen and doesn't even know this
ruling that kingdom in my heart
when I'm gone and running with the devil
she'll be at home waiting patiently



4. They Always Come Back

he's jumped on the one way track
and there ain't no coming back
should have thought before you leapt
now you're on a crusade to avoid your death
the second time through you've gotta go feet first
just remember to hold your breath

they always come back

after the storm you'd better hold on tight
because you never know when you'll have to fight
get on the good foot and stay in check
because in the end they always come back

they always come back

he's jumped on the one way track
and there ain't no coming back
should have thought before you leapt
because in the end they always come back



5. Walkin' Frustration

no I can't seem to cope with all that's in front of me
I wish I had some time to catch up with myself
living check to check I've got nothing to call my own
I'm overdrawn and my credit is all spent

I've got walkin' frustration......and I've got no medication!!!

everyday the same routine in my programmed life
I don't know what my social status is
early to bed early to rise, I never see the sun
a creature of habit is what I've become

my girlfriend left me yesterday
she says that she's gay
she took all her things and my private joy
my brother owes me fifty bucks and now I'm unemployed
the rituals of life lead to my condition

the doctor says to take it easy because this isn't healthy
but I need things a doctor can't prescribe
I'm running the race on a treadmill going nowhere fast
I need an outlet in my so-called life



6. Yo No Tengo Tiempo (Para Ti)

Y con sangre Mejicana
En extraños conflictos en este país
Andando en un sistema
Me robaron mis raíces.

Yo No Tengo Tiempo Para Ti!
Yo No Tengo Tiempo Para Ti!

No es ningún desierto ni un mocho
vivo en el puente Rico
Soy un turista de dos idiomas
Peleando guerras de nuestra gente.

Yo No Tengo Tiempo Para Ti!
Yo No Tengo Tiempo Para Ti!
Yo No Tengo Tiempo Para Ti!
Yo No Tengo Tiempo Para Ti!

Y con sangre Mejicana
En extraños conflictos en este país
Andando en un sistema
Me robaron mis raíces.

Yo No Tengo Tiempo Para Ti!
Yo No Tengo Tiempo Para Ti!
Yo No Tengo Tiempo Para Ti!
Yo No Tengo Tiempo Para Ti!

Para Ti!



7. Left For Dead

on parole since the age of eighteen
made his mark on society
found him in the wrong territory
he was left for dead

used to be such a precious young thing
but got caught up in some mixed up things
took a bullet to the head
now he's left for dead

dreams were set for momma's pride and joy
don't forget daddy's little boy
now, look and see know what you've done
now, you're left for dead

she was raised on a country farm
not with needles in her arms
she lived to fast and died too young
she was left for dead



8. Band Geek Mafia (The Horn Of Justice)

the band with glasses and hard looks
has got you down in their black book
computerized, the crust elite
don't need the smell of mission street

have your cake and eat it too
with fellow scum that worship you
and when you choke on our black smoke
no one will be there for your rescue

it's the band geek mafia [x2]

your fake representation
shows right through your rotting skin
the only ones you're fooling
are the imbeciles who think like you

You blow the horn of justice [x4]

you probe us with your jealousy
your anger gives us the defeat
we'll keep walking separate ways
until someday, again we meet

the band geek mafia all unite
as we watch you fade away
and on your gravestone we will write
a naked cult of hypocrites

You blow the horn of justice [x4]
It's the band geek mafia [x2]



9. Brodie Johnson Weekend

hey!!!...it's time to dance with danger
hey!!!...put on your best wrinkled suit.
it's time to set the night on fire
the night is looking young and so am I

hey!!!...we're going to defy the law
hey!!!...going to paint this time tonight
I've got all the special motions
that make all the willing pretty ladies wild

no, won't take that for an answer
no, I can't wait all night for you

hey!!!....out on the crowed dance floor
hey!!!...I'm always on cloud 9
no one wants to step to this muchacho
some call me the bastard's son

hey!!!...let's crash my big black caddy
hey!!!...let's drive thru your backyard
I've got the pedal to the medal
don't give me attitude cuz I was born to be wild



10. Delinquent Song

That was just you
Now who's telling who
With every step you take
Do you feel yourself falling?

Grasping for that handrail
That's leading you nowhere
Parental guidance gone
Well, it's just another delinquent song

How many times...
Do you have to be told
When you're crossing someone else's line
Just because you don't see things the same as the next guy
It ain't your job to try!!

Thickheaded, yeah some might say pathetic
I think we're gonna say it's apathetic
What are you striving for
Is it simple satisfaction
If you make the wrong decision You might hurt someone else

We've all got equal opportunities
We're all standing on this common ground
And if we try to walk the same path together
Sooner or later someone will fall astray



11. Hieroglyphics

born in the middle of an urban war
staying out later than the street lights
in the days of ancient man
they had to fight to survive, because they had no plan

[chorus]
the hieroglyphics on the walls.....they tell it all [x3]

everyday waking up in the same room
with six younger siblings who look up to you
not knowing where this day will take you
where are you going to run to, you don't know

treating everyday like it were you're last one
having nothing in common with the outside world
the only way to reach them is to spray it on the walls
because no listens to your calls

from the part of town where no one wants to go
surrounded by a border that isn't even there
living in a place where there's no regards for the law
read the story it's tagged up on the walls



12. Misunderstood

there's a riot in the street
and no one seems to care
the kids are all at home
they're glued to their TV's

revolution now
now I don't got time
I've got to meet my friends
they're at the bar waiting for me

try run me out of my neighborhood
if I don't comply I'm just no good
I'll just spend my whole life misunderstood

there's a war outside my head
and it wants to get inside
life could be so easy
I always try to let things slide

I can't decide if I should join the team
or watch the world run dry
try to keep my head up
problems, you have yours
and I got mine



13. Hit A Guy With Glasses

my blood is really boiling
and I've got fire in my eyes
there is no compromising
once we get outside

the buttons have been pushed
and all systems are go
he's going to pay the price
with all four of his eyes

[chorus]
I just hit a guy with glasses!!
would you hit a guy with glasses?!!

will someone please explain to me
who made that wacky rule
if you hit a guy with glasses
you won't look very cool

the science club is pissed
and they are after me
they want compensation for the optometry



14. Stranded In The Jungle

I crashed in the jungle while trying to keep a date,
With my little girl who was back in the States.
I was stranded in the jungle, afraid, alone,
Trying to figure a way to get a message back home.
But how was I to know that the wreckage of my plane
Had been picked up and spotted, and my girl in Lover's Lane?
And meanwhile, back in the States...
Baby, baby, let's make romance.
You know, your old-time lover hasn't got a chance.
He's stranded in the jungle, glad as he can be.
So, come on pretty baby, just you and me.
Meanwhile, back in the jungle...
The boys in the jungle had me on the run,
When something heavy hit me, like an atomic bomb.
When I woke up, and my head started to clear,
I had a strange feeling I was with cooking gear
I smelled something cooking, and I looked to see.
That's when I found out they was cooking me.
Meanwhile, back in the States.
Baby, baby, let's make romance.
You know, your old-time lover hasn't got a chance.
He's stranded in the jungle, glad as he can be.
So, come on pretty baby, just you and me.
Meanwhile, back in the jungle.
I jumped out of the pot, and I finally got away.
Frantic and worried about what my baby would say.
So, I jumped in the ocean and started to swim.
My chances of survival was getting mighty slim.
So, I thumbed down a whale who was heading my way.
And I reached the States in about half a day.
And when I got to Lover's Lane, I was almost dead.
But my soul was gone, and here's what I said :
Baby, baby, the man is no good.
Oh baby, baby, you should have understood.
You can trust me as long as you need,
So, come back pretty baby where you used to be.
Cause I love you,
I love you
