ULTRA VIOLENT (1985)
They're out for a night of fun
Going down to the club
Tension building up inside
Blood lust deep set in their eyes

Ultra Violent

Theyr'e out for a night of fun
Gonna go around the club
Kick some punk rocker's ass
Thrownin' bottles broken glass

Ultra Violent

Cops out for a night of fun
Fear hate badge and guns
They might just shut down the place
Swingin' sticks and spraying mace

Ultra Violent


DEN OF THIEVES (1983)
I see your face when I'm at work
You're on the radio you're on the telephone
You own the T.V. I got no relief
Three piece suit says you're a thief

There is only one thing in your brain
That's to get everything you can
You are the scourge of this land
I don't like violence you force my hand

I live my life in a den of thieves
I spend all day in a den of thieves


I SHOULD KILL YOU (1985)
You call me a wimp
You call me a whiner
You think you're my father
You're my employer

I should kill you

You think 'cause you pay me
I'm yours to kick around
You think I should lisent to you
Why should I listen to you

You demean me
You disgust me
Are you god
Are you?


RECKLESS (1982)
Let's leave this place before I lose my mind
Let's get outta here I'm too confined
The streets have arrows and pointing signs
But I just yell at passersby

Feel that way every day
I don't know why I don't have to try

I don't need money what would I buy
I don't take advice 'cause I'm too high
I've got this feeling form my head to my feet
I wanna be reckless in the streets


TAKIN' AWAY YOUR RIGHTS (1984)
It's part of the plan
To condition you
It's park of the plan
To condition you

Takin' away
Takin' away your rights

It's part of the plan
The master plan
It's part of the plan
Do you understand


ON THE PAVEMENT (1982)
I woke up this morning sun in my eyes
Overnight some killer he took another life
Stop these fools take their guns away
Unlawful power violence run away

They shot him he's on the pavement
They killed him he's dead

Military tactics judge and jury badge
Shot him in the back they killed him when he ran
When they say stop you'd better do what they say
Save them time when you're blown away


KEEPING YOU OUT (1983)
At the club you lean at the bar
Yo u think you're a fucking star
You are jaded and misled
When I see you I see red

Our scene is so small
It's a wonder it exists at all
I'd rather play for a crown of ten
Then play for 100 like you

Keeping you out
I don't care if you never come around me again
Keeping you out
I don't care if I never see your face again


SICK SOCIETY
Can't you see what you've done
Can't you see what you've become
You close your eyes to the truth
Live in the past is all you do

Sick Society

Poison the water poison the air
Nuclear waste and you don't care
Against abortion in your church
While pollution kills the earth

You've got money you've got security
But you didn't plan on the people like me
You want everything to be so nice and neat
What wil lyou do when there is rioting in the streets
That's how it's gonna be


FRUSTRATION
You've got no job you've got nothin' for me
That ain't the way I heard I'd be
Workin' all your life doin' 9 to 5
You ain't really livin' you're just trying to survive

Frustration

Some have got the power some have got the jobs
Some have got the money and the money got the mob
Some got nothin' some don't care
You tell me there's a future I don't see it anywhere


SELF DESTRUCT
Down on his life down on his luck
Someone pushed a button and he's on self destruct
Nothing to say nothing to do
Don't get in his way 'cause he might fuck with you

Self Destruct

His pain is life he's had enough
Someone pushed a button and he's on self destruct
Holes in his arms blood in his eye
He's in control of his own demise
POLICE FRONT (1985)
Hanging out in front of the club
We're not hurting anyone
But here come the cops
And we all gotta run

Police Front

They write their own reports
They wrote their own reviews
They love you to resist
They know you're always gonna lose

I know I'm not a criminal
But they wanna make me one
Think that we're a threat
An excuse to use their guns

Gary was just throwing cans
He was just clowning around
But a cop was passing by
So he took a ride downtown


WAR ON WANKERS (1984)
You're just a jack-off simple as that
Wanna fuck you up with a baseball bat
Wimpy discos squirrely bands
Wanna smash up every single one of them

Fuck you up
With a baseball bat
I don't care what anyone
Thinks about that

Always on the T.V. screen
What the fuck does it all mean
Stole from punk what you could use
There's gonna be a war you're gonna lose

War on Wankers what you gonna do
War on Wankers gonna get you

It's really such a drag
Thw way you are is really too bad
People say I shouldn't I don't give a fuck
I hate you I'm ready to ruck


NIGHTSTICK JUSTICE (1980)
Don't make a sound
We'll smash your teeth
You've got no rights you're just a creep
We cannot stand you
You pose a threat
Get in our way we'll break your head

We've got a job
We are the law
Get in our way we'll kill you all
Just ask your friends
Who we bruised and they bled
Get in our way we'll break your head

Nightstick Justice
It's not supression
For your protection
Police brutality
It's a grim reality


PROPAGANDA CONTROL (1982)
Cheap nostalgia fills your head
Pretend rock and roll isn't dead
Believe in nothing but media lies
When the fuck will you realize

Propaganda Control

Big Brother's hand will seal your fate
His mind works 'cause you've got no brains
Advertising game is a trick on you
They control everything you do

The truth is hard you must realize
Think for yourself what to do with your life
Don't be a part of the corporate scam
Think for yourself while you still can


REDNECK MENTALITY (1983)
Strut your stuff in your pickup truck
Pardon me Jake I think you're fucked
I think your horse has more brains
And it's you who wears the reins

Redneck Mentality
I don't believe what I see

Do you like what they've done to you
Now I see what your attitudes do
Keep your filth off me and my friends
I live my life for your end

Now your shit is in our scene
I think your assholes know what I mean
No matter how you look it's all the same
Get the fuck out this is no game


IDENTITY CRISIS (1984)
Here comes another his new golden rules in hand
Raving and pointing I don't think I understand
Trying to tell me how he thinks that I have fell
Turning all of my fun he's turning it into hell
A momma's boy thinks he's king of the street
Decked in his gear he thinks he's really neat
Just looking for someone to be his hero
All he can find are a bunch of zeros

Change your face you change all the time
It's changing all the time
Identity crisis got a hold on you
It's getting stronger all the time
Who knows tomorrow tomorrow what we'll find
Change your face you change your face
It's changing all the time

Talk about your old friends just like they're in the grave
Take a new life just so you can be safe
Just looking for someone who wants you for a hero
But everyone around here has figured out you're another zero
There'll be a time for you to stand up and fight
Off go your friends they're jsut running with fright
That's what you get when you're out chasing heros
Because they're all just a bunch of zeros


DRUGS AND SEX (1983)
Now I want a suitcase of money
Now I wanna fuck a playboy bunny
Snort cocaine until I'm bored
When I run out I'll get some more

Drugs and sex are for the rich
Keeps them quiet and they don't bitch

I want more than I'll ever get
I want more my life is shit

I want clothes that I never wear
The girls will love my moustache and hair
And I'll drink booze till I don't care
I will live my 50 years


CUT THE SHIT
What is this you're trying to dump on me
I wasn't born stupid and I'm not too blind
Doesn't take much for it to begin
Just a little and you want in

I know what they'd make of you
Just look at what you'd have to do
Just to sell your goods to fools
Mindlessness will be your tools

What do you want
Girls drugs money cars
Your name on the walk of stars
Cut the shit

Isn't it cool the way they flock to you
I don't know why they do
I guess it's really true
That flies like shit


SUMMER OF '82
Said you were a punk said you didn't need them
Or their discos yeah we'll burn 'em down
Waht are you doing what do you want
We stuck to our guns just to watch you sell out

Look at you in the summer of '82
Look at you in the summer of '84

Now it's so sozy just you and your friends
Everything changes everything ends
It's so funny that you'd end up like that
One of the people you used to laugh at

We're still the punks we don't need you
Or some disco we burn 'em down
What are you doing what do you want
We stuck to our guns just to watch you sell out
