Middle 02:48
I heard a song once and it was beautiful and it was free and it was my dream I lost my housing at the sweet young age of fourteen I heard a song on the radio, it was my dream I found the value of a song walking in the rain cold and alone with no place to go I found the value of a song singing to myself Just make it through the night, keep awake till the sunlight It don't matter who sold 6 million It don't matter who made 6 million What you call success I call excess What I'd call important is relevance I heard a song once it was by Husker Du They tried to sell their songs for a million dollars They probably never knew that they kept one scared kid alive They traded gold for what they had inside All my friends now now on TV All my friends now sold what they love for money All my friends now are bought and sold so easily All my friends now think they can afford not to be free

Armed Gangs 02:40
Armed gangs out of (your town here) Tell the police to go home No more guns in (your town here) Tell the police to go home How many times do I have to get fucked up, how many times How many times do we gotta get Jacked up, Before we realize we all need to be on the same team This place used to feel like my home Now I'm living in an occupied zone This place used to feel like my home Now I'm living in an OCCUPIED ZONE How many times do you gotta get Jacked-up how many times How many times do we gotta get jacked up before we realize we need to be on the same team MORE COPS IS MORE GUNS IS MORE CRIME IS MORE VIOLENT DEVASTATION REMOVAL OF SOMEONE FROM OUR LIVES

Whore 01:50
Don't stare at me Don't glare at me I'm not your piece of meat I'm not your fantasy Don't eye me You make a fool of us I'm not your anything I'm not your property Do we sexualize everything Because our parents sexualized us? Did they treat us like meat? Just like we treat ourselves like meat? Don't stare at me Don't glare at me I'm not your piece of meat I'm not your fantasy Don't eye me You make a fool of us Love 'em and leave 'em Is no longer just male behavior Do we sexualize everything Because we were molested? Do we treat ourselves like meat Because we were incested? Are we just obeying TV Are we just obeying Advertising Are we just obeying Dear Abbey Are we just obeying MTV Don't stare at me Don't stare at me I'm not your piece of meat I'm not your anything.

Famous 01:16
I wanna be famous and have my face on TV I want all my old friends to hate me I don't wanna be able to walk down the street In this town I won't be around And you can read all about my life on the newspaper stand My agent says you can't call me back but you understand Hey now I'm famous and it really sucks Hey now I'm famous can you lend me five bucks Hey now I'm famous when will this all end Hey now I'm famous and I need a friend

No 02:47
I learned a new word today, that word is NO You don't get all the money I make just cause you own real estate You don't get forty hours a week from me You don't get to make my choices for me You are only your own authority You don't get possession of me cuz you got something I need You don't get to abuse me at all just cuz you're big and you think that I'm small You don't get possession of me just cuz you got something I need I learned a new word today, that word is NO.

Nancy's Song 02:15
I've heard it many times before All is fair in love and war But now I question everything What together we might bring What together we might bring Who are we hurtin' with our love Contagious love and secret death Aren't we protected by our loving breath It feels so good can't we forget the rest We feels so good can't we forget the rest Who are we hurtin' with our love I've seen it now with my own eyes How a lovin' person dies A new disease amongst us stalks Aids is not just chicken pox Aids is not just chicken pox Who are we hurtin' with our love We are all one now nature says So now we need careful ways So our love retains its true intent And nightmare is not how life is spent Nightmare is not how life is spent Who are we hurtin' with our love

Circles 02:34
I grew up with a kid named X#$%^ His mom beat him up so bad There was nothin' we could do about it It happened to his brothers too As we got older his brothers Started acting just like his mom Somehow he knew He didn't want to be like that Later on, I took him to some shows We saw Fang and the Ramones We saw Violent Coercion over and over I have him some acid I thought it might do him some good As it already shown me I didn't want any part of this sick society but It didn't seem to work I heard he's training at the police academy I heard he's training at the police academy I heard he's one of the CONCORD police Life goes in circles I know, I just wish they weren't so ugly Life goes in circles I know, I just with they weren't so stupid Life goes in circles I know I just wish they weren't so brutal Life goes in circles I know I just wish they weren't so fatal

Parking Lots 01:56
We need parking lots and we need shopping malls Otherwise we'll die We need more cops and more guns to keep us safe from armed gangs-Or we'll surely die We need cable TV to keep the kids in line Turn off our mind-to kill some time We need nuclear power and children with 6 eyes We need to mutate-so the species will thrive We need global welfare, bombs falling everywhere And peace will come to me there when there's no one left to fight anywhere. And god will roll down from the clouds and gosh I'll be so proud Cuz I'll be the inner and god will take me up to heaven for dinner

A single Solitary smile That's what makes it all worthwhile It makes you stick around for a bit Keeps you going when you want to quit It'll make you drive a thousand miles I never knew anything that felt this good It comes in many different styles And every time you turn the dial You hear the reasons why you stayed that way And never say I think I'll change my style I never knew anything that felt this good

Song #14 02:00
Did we give up our dreams and trade them in for a 12 pack Did we give up our dreams and trade them in for a bag of speed Were our aspirations too high, was there something wrong with not wanting work and rent Were our aspirations too high, was there something wrong with not wanting a police state Did we give up our dreams and trade it in for a bag of weed Did we give up our dreams and trade them in for a million cigarettes Were our aspirations too high, was there something wrong with wanting an end to those who abuse their authority from mom and dad to the president and every cop in between Did we give up our dreams

Back 02:42
So the rent increase has got you down, and you can't afford to live in your own home town Well I bet everybody's feeling the same way Say you're feeling disconnected from the ground, private properties got you down Private properties got you shut out of your own world I was born here and I'm not going anywhere I was grown here and I'm not going anywhere This is my town, this is my ground, going to take it all back now And give it away to everybody Say your boss man had got you down, say her treats you like some kind of clown Say he treats you like he owns your soul Say the tax man has got you down, says he takes your money, leaves you sitting around Spends your money on bombs to promote peace and democracy I was born here . . . This land is their land, this land ain't our land It's based on greed and god and stealing people's land It's intimidation conquest and mutilation This land was stolen from you and me This land is their land this land ain't our land It was under the guardianship of the native american Who knew we belonged to the earth the Earth did not belong to them We are merely guardians The other night dear as I lay sleeping I dreamt you held me in your arms But when I broke you were being tortured With concrete and cars and bombs

My Friend II 06:28
Moms' in the kitchen giving her power way to a bottle of wine Dad's in the office giving his power away selling his time I didn't learn shit about life I learned to give my power away I learned how to escape I learned to be a slave Mom's in the kitchen teaching me about obedience and battery Dad's in the TV room screaming something about authority I didn't learn shit about life I learned how to get high I learned how to check out and I learned how to die LSD my friend, cocaine and speed my friend, beer and weed my friend, amphetamines Coffee and cigarettes and never ending need, Jack Daniels and needles and little cotton balls full of speed My friends pick me up and take me away from my middle class hell I call home My friends pick me up and take me away from my middle class hell I call alone Thanks for the ride, it's time to say goodbye I wanted a way out but I didn't want to die

The End II 04:00
When we're done cleaning the rubble From the last wall torn down When we're done putting back What we took from the ground When the last republican and bureaucrat and liberal Can admit to being a Human Being When the last stubborn man stops refusing To learn from who he's met and what he's seen And there will come a day when therewill be No more enemy, and no one left to hate And on this day, the Earth will stand up and walk away When the last line on all the maps Has been erased When the last person learns to derive the simple pleasure Of seeing another's smiling face When we lose the reasons for divisions And the separation has gone away When we know the love will stay When all the songs have been heard And all the books have been read When all the hate is gone and dead And there will come a day when there will be No more enemy and on one left to hate And on this day the Earth will stand up and walk away
