THE NEOS
End All Discrimination Lyrics

ILLITERATES
You know we can't write (x2)
You know we can't read (x2)
All we do is talk, talk, talk

(chorus)
'Cause we're illiterates, illiterates,
Never learned to spell
Illiterates, illiterates, illiterates,
Gonna go to hell

Teacher says ya can't write (x2)
Teacher says ya can't read (x2)
Go ahead and slit your wrists
In your desk and bleed

(chorus)

Fill me up with chemicals take me for a ride
I don't care where I'm going as long as I arrive
Help me cause somebody pain
Help me rip out my fuckin' brain

(chorus)


FASCIST RULE
Get straight A's better be smart
You're upper middle class so look the part
Go to church never sin
Give up now, you know you can't win
When you graduate you can work for your dad
Finish off any originality you had

(chorus)
You don't like the way I've changed
It's ruined what you've prearranged
But I can see right through your scheme
And I think it fuckin' sucks

Learn respect for money, get a job
Sweat it up save it upfor when you're old
Start to date we'll think it's great
Better chance to find a perfect mate
One who'll keep her mouth shut and keep the kids in line
So you can rule with an iron fist and a bloody hand

(chorus)


NO TYME 4 ROMANCE
The prospect of the future is more than I can bear
I ought to go to college, but I don't really care
I'm useless and unskilled, I can't do anything
The only job I'll ever have is restaurant dishwashing

(chorus)
Close the door
Close your mind
It's a compromise but never mind

Pressures being put on me by those just overhead
If I did what they want in 2 weeks I'd wish I was dead
I'm facing grim reality, I've come to childhood's end
The truth has become reality at last, I'm going round the bend

(chorus)


SCHOOL PUNKS
School punk, no fun
For their classes I'm too dumb...

(chorus)
Never wanna turn sixteen
Never any less obscene
I don't wanna hafta work
All my duties I will shirk
(ETC)


CHURCHGOER'S MOTIVE
I joined a church so they could tell me what's right
If they tell me to I'll even fight
If it's good for my parents it's good for me
I don't even question the stupidity

(chorus)
Religion, religion they tell me I sin
Better pray hard if I wanna be forgiven
Say the magic words and ye shall be saved
Phony rituals you're all slaves

Tell me I'm wicked, push me around
Thinking for yourself's evil, put me down
Preach to me till I'm brainwashed
God is love, I'm a robot

(chorus)

So I keep doin' things I know are wrong
But I'm o.k. if I go to confession
I haven't missed a Sunday yet
It's too bad it don't matter shit

(chorus)
GOODBYE 4 LIFE
People say, go away
You're not welcome to stay
Try to stay, makes it worse
End up leaving in a hearse

Join the army be somebody
Wear your fascist uniform
Pull the trigger watch them die
All you need is suicide

(chorus)
Can't go on, maybe try
Fall down dead mommy die

Twenty-sixer in your arms
Going to drink it all at once
It'll do if it's straight
Bring you to your self-made fate

Pull off the cap throw it down
Drink it fast no one cares
Withink five minutes there is no more
Goodbye life you're on the floor

(chorus)


SCARED TO DIE
I want to puke, I want to cry
I want to scream, I don't know why
I can't take another lie
I don't want to live but I'm scared to die

I am not my friends, friend
I am not my loves, love
I'm part of a world that's not part of me
I am alone

Power of pain in your hands
But you don't care or you don't understand
I hate this shit, I don't belong
Is it me or everybody else that's wrong

My old values, had none
Some I respected don't know why
How could I have been so wrong

Forget it/ Wipe it out
I won't


RACIST ACT
(chorus)
Fucking stupid racist act
(plus assorted yelling)

I live in Vancouver and I think it's cool
To firebomb a "Paki's" home
Stop 'em on the street just to spit on them
It makes me feel like a big man

(chorus)

They're in the National Front and what they're into
Is terrorizing the local jews
They're in the KKK, put on a tough act
But supremacy's what whites like them lack

(chorus)

In Ireland religion's the excuse that's in
So you're taught to hate when you're young
One "kills for God" the other kills back
They're all the same, they're just as bad

(chorus)

We're everywhere and we all hate each other
If we can't think of a reason we'll make up another
You hate "faggots", you hate "chinks"
You hate hate "retards", you hate "niggers"
You hate them all 'cause they're not like you
But mostly 'cause you're scared of 'em or of being one too

(chorus)


LIFE SENTENCE
Boredome cuts me like a knife
Feel like I've been here all my life
Got to decide now what to be
That's what you say
But you don't own me

I hate U/ Don't need U

Just cuz you're in bondage to yourself
You've got to take it out on someone else
I feel these tensions inside
You're trying to brainwash my mind

I hate U/ Don't need U


DON'T WANT TO BE
Don't wanna be a soldier
Get shot up to keep my country "free"
Don't wanna be a rockstar
Drink champagne and drive limousines

(chorus)
I don't wanna be a someone
I don't wanna be accepted
I don't wanna be a human
I don't want anything

Don't wanna be an accountant
Sit behind a desk from 9 to 5
Don't wanna be a lawman
"Keep the peace" with guns & clubs & lies

(chorus)

Don't wanna be an "adult"
Be mature and know what life's about
Don't wanna be drug-up
Get burnt out so my mind can soon be real

(chorus)
