Pick Your King Lyrics

THINK TWICE
Stand on both feet, hold my own,
No gun, no way to make a mark,
Impressed, obsessed with people dying,
No choice for you, good death's a blessing,
Open wide and take your poison,
Count your blessings, before you lose them,
I might be mad about the way things are turning out,
You might be dead, there's one way out
It's not up, you better think twice


IT'S AN ACTION
Struggling country,
Police state cry,
Break the stronghold,
You have to try to be free,
Action's now, the struggle's on,
No police brutality, smash it from within,
Keep hoping some are free
Speak out against your opressor, revolutionary,
No more fascism, keep hoping some are free,
Fight back, crack government strategy,
Self determination, build solidarity,
Illegally torture, barbed wire fences,
Isolated torment, repressive ordinances,
You can't change the world,
But you can change yourself
You decide who will be free


THIS THING CALLED PROGRESS
Look to see where you've been from standing at the start again,
Stand up backwards, that's a fact, who's gonna follow your attack,
Try to keep what you've got, even if it's not a lot,
Everyday people die and starve but not you,
Crazy, mixed up, screwed up, it's all falling apart real fast,
The next thing you hear might be an atomic blast,
We're going straight downhill from here,
Businessmen, politicians, government stacks it up,
It's vital, punks, radicals, tear it down,
Look to see where we've been from standing at the start again,
Don't believe what you read,
Crazy, mixed up, screwed up, it's falling apart real fast,
Have fun this time around because it might be the last,
This thing called progress makes me sick


IN MY HEADACHE
I'm looking for a cure, but where I'm standing,
It looks like another one, nothing but bad things,
Nothing but emptiness, a hit and run life won't take you nowhere,
Nothing but bad dreams, a screaming image running around,
Don't ask me again cause you know what I said,
It hurts, in my headache, in my headache,
I tell it to go away, but it plans to stay,
I don't want to play dead, it hurts,
My headache, my head, in my headache it fucking hurts,
And everybody's fucking everyone else,
Cut themselves, scar their feelings put on a shelf,
Then look in the mirror, see your reflection, but you can see yourself
In your head you hear, a screaming image running around
UNDERAGE
My decision spells deceased
But don't think that you won't get yours
The things I do and say are wrong
I won't be doing them very long
People that I know the best,
I hate them all the most
All the ones I've never met
They're the ones who were born to lose
Cirrhosis - I still drink it straight
Black lung - due to smoke and paint
H in heaven, hell and date
The end comes swift but still I wait
Jesus freaks screaming at me
Telling me to burn in hell
I hear what they say
I say there's no god
This is my life
This is my curse
This is my headache
It's getting worse
But for now I'll sit and think
In this great land of food and drink
The more bread you got, the less shit you eat
What you value really sucks
I'm so pissed my face is red
18 years of living dead
The things I do and say are wrong
I won't be saying them very long
Decisions screaming at me
Telling me to give it up!
I hear whay they say, I say fuck yourself
Why don't you kill yourself
You're underage - you got no life
See that gun? Pick it up, cock the hammer back,
Pull the trigger and die!


SELF ABUSE
Take frustrations out on yourself,
Think you've hurt all, there's no on else
Put your head thru a window,
Then hold it high and let the blood flow,
Why do you drink until you pass out face first in front of me?
Then crawl up and bleed all over my new shirt,
Self abuse,
In a cold dark alley, the figure stands,
Abusing himself, dripping in his hands
He says he's punishing his peers around him,
Watch this never was, turn has been,
I hope someday you find your place,
With cigarette burns on your face,
If you want attention, don't act insane,
Cause you're addicted to the pain,
Rip the stitches out with your teeth,
And you have the nerve to judge others?
Self abuse


CULT BAND
Buy now,
Pushing products down your throat,
Brainwash you but you don't know,
Let's rock,
What a fucking lame excuse,
Change your mind but it's no use,
Fun for you don't come free, hey man smoke a joint for me,
Sold out,
You're wearing their uniform,
They laugh at you, you still buy more,
Shut up,
Listen what they say to you,
Can you believe any of it's true?
Phoney leaders steal your money, that ain't funny, that's the gospel
PURE HATE
Don't get paid, shave my head,
Wear a smile for those who are saved,
Burning in my soul's a hell,
Look in my heart see the pain,
Look in my brain see the hate, it's pure,
Lost direction sold my mind,
Erase all thoughts to keep hate pure,
Following the mindless driven by hate,
I know what's coming and I can't wait,
Look me in the eyes and I'll be gone


CASTRATION
Sexual self gratification, fantasy,
Fall in lust with the arcade, not me,
Emotionally exhilarated for one night,
Show your kids how tough you are, beat your wife,
Dead end go getter talk shit by the mouthful,
They're planning against you and you don't even know,
Your head's so far up your ass you can't even see,
Women, guns, female supremacy,
Drunk abuse should not be done with full devotion,
Set yourself up, castration,
Comic book hustler, you think you're so macho,
Your girlfriend's waiting for you with a broken bottle


REGGAE (I HATE)
Hanging around changing the world,
Soon there'll be peace and it will be cool,
Then we can start all over again,
Then we can love the man who deals death,
I feel pissed, I feel ripped, I can't slow down,
I hate reggae
Black and white unite and fight the right,
But not thru reggae,
Jah this Jah that, what the fuck?
Can't stand reggae,
And I won't dance at a disco,
Even if they play reggae,
I feel bad, my P.M.A.'s good,
So good I want to burn down my neighborhood,
Dreadlocks and herb, nothing for us,
Religious backwash, another broken trust


GIVE IT UP
Smiling with a broken bottle as you try to prove a point,
Give it up, give it up, your life's a bunch of fucking shit,
Give it up, give it up, fuck your mom and spread the word,
You're a loser with a headache, you wander what went wrong,
Give it up, give it up, laugh at life, a joke you are,
Give it up, give it up, burn in hell or rot insane


THINK FAST
Gotta think fast, gotta be on top,
Step on their feet when the hammer's dropped,
Try to fool them, what's right from wrong,
They'll put you where you belong,
Look both ways before you cross your friends,
It might be the beginning of the end
