War All The Time Lyrics

THE TEMPLE (A)
Take my hand, now there's no turning back
Walk right up the path into the black
The city down below, shines up so bright
We can do it in the moonlight
Stare into the night, I see the truth
Take a drink and tell me who you've used
The stars up above shine down so bright
We can do it in the moonlight
He's the father, the son
The holy ghost, all rolled up into one
This town's souls been sold
This town's views are old
This town's grey and cold
This place to the west
This place I like the best
This place reeks of death
I used to think that the hills were full
Of rich little girls and their cheap little games,
Until one night something happened, occured,
I cannot forget his name
I'm the seeker, I'm the finder,
I'm the cosmic teeth grinder,
My lord's calling me home,
And I stand all alone.


ROMANTIC SELF-DESTRUCTION (Pig/A)
Pierce my skin, tear my flesh
Tell me that I feel the best
Behold that it comes so quick
Razor rites give me a kick
It's not called fate, guilt copulate
Not inane, dig the pain
First I pick up the phone
Security calls, no one's home
Then I pick up the gun
Security calls, just for fun
I've got those S.D. blues
Got nothing to lose but all I choose.


PUSH THE BUTTON (Olsen/Hanford/A)
Push the button, pull the lever
Flick the switch, I think me clever
Trun the peg that makes you move
The earth is flat but my guitar's in tune
I'm a mechanical boy
I'm a mother's toy
Level this happy place
Exterminate the race
That's right, do it now, baby.


RITUAL CHICKEN (Olsen)
"A musical interlude by the vegetable himself."
NOTHING IS FINAL (A)
Victory of heart, presence of mind
A smile on my face
I know what the next night brings
Wear and tear and pretend you care
Nothing is final, but exception is everything
Nothing is final, but exception is anything
Nothing is final, but exception is something
Your premonition, paranoia symptom
You just gotta live and learn


MOTORHEAD (Kilmister)
Sunrise, wrong side of another day
Sky high and six thousand miles away
Don't know how long I've been awake
Wound up in an amazing state
Can't get enough
And you know it's righteous stuff
Goes up like prices at Christmas
Motorhead, you can call me Motorhead, alright
Brain dead, total amnesia
Get some mental anaesthesia
Don't move, I'll shut the door and kill the lights
I guess I'll see you all on the ice
All good clean fun
Have another stick of gum
Man, you look better already
Motorhead, remember me now Motorhead, alright
Fourth day, five day marathon
We're moving like a parallelogram
Don't move, I'll shut the door and kill the lights
If I can't be wrong I must be right
I should be tired
And all I am is wired
Ain't felt this good for an hour
Motorhead, remember me now, Motorhead alright


HOT TIME (Tense/A)
A real hot time in the Old Town
Small white punk packs a big black gun
Unthinkable thoughts await the innocent
In the bright midnight sun
And your crew was totally whacked
They'd tax the shirt right off your back
(Or the shorts right off your ass)
Now the attention of detention
Warmth of a person in the heat of a prison
You think you're real B-A-D
A real tough M-A-N
Cause you have a G-U-N
Now you're going to O-C-I


STEEL RULE (Olsen/A)
There's no cooperation in the "me" generation
Greed fueled self-dictation
Downfall of the nation
Looking out for number one
You lost, You lose, I win, I won
Piece of the pie, I want some
Rat race, still on the run
What can we do?
What can we do?
What can we do?
Fuck the golden rule?
No matter what you do, Jim Baker's raping you
No matter what you say, you look like Pinochet
Step on the hands, make more demands
Be you own boss, never mind the loss
TYPICAL (A)
Out with the old, in with the new
Change my appearance/sound/attitude to impress you
Do everything just one way
But change my mind day to day
It's so predictable it will never happen again
Correct my mistakes then I rip off a friend
Time is short, it goes too fast
Think what you've done in the past
All those things that have happened to you
And all the things you are gonna go through
It's so typical but what's done is done
I keep playing my games and what hurts is fun
Emotions spill just like wine
Tears flow in one straight line
Hearts break, it's no mistake
It's a shallow truth, I can see you're fake
Now it's time to rap my rhyme, rock it into overtime
But it's the wrong way to go. Isn't that just typical?


MURDERER (Tense/A)
My enemy walks in front of me
My friend walks behind me
Death walks beside me
Not ahead, it's just beyond me
Do me a favor, shoot me in the head
I don't want to fuck you
In your death bed
Do me a favor, stab me in my heart
We share a fatal moment
What's the dirty point?
We've always hated, since we were born
The cycle is completed, everything's just changed
We've always loved
But we just don't show it
We've proved our lust
Now we must pay for it.


MARKED FOR LIFE (A)
In my dreams of Death, you were there
The perfect crime, take my final breath
The noose pulls tight, a perfect fit
Swallow me up with your mistrust
There's a monster in my mirror
Dragging me through hell and misery
But when I smash that mirror
It sets me free
