Moral Majority (Youth Brigade)*

MORAL MAJORITY NOT FOR ME

You wanna move the country to the right
You wanna make the country bright white
A Godless society full of moral decay
But Jerry Falwell says he knows the way

MORAL MAJORITY Right wing knights
MORAL MAJORITY Take away your rights
MORAL MAJORITY Blind as can be
MORAL MAJORITY NOT FOR ME

Ronald Reagan is quite a man
A part of the new morality trying to ruin this land
Bailey Smith says be conservative and pure
Help destroy liberals and go to Heaven for sure

(repeat chorus)

If you wanna go to school you gotta pray
They’ll tell you what to do and what to say
If it’s right for them then it’s right for you
Whatever made you think you had the right to choose

(repeat chorus x2)

Waste of Time (Youth Brigade)

You’re a waste of time
You’re a waste of space
I don’t need your drugs
So get ’em the fuck outta my face
Say it’s not your fault
Blame it on your peers
Make up any excuse
To have a few more beers

It doesn’t make you funny
It doesn’t make you bright
It takes more to impress me
Than puking all night

Sitting in a corner
Looking half dead
Look what’s become of you
Why don’t you use your head
Without getting stoned
It’s hard to have fun
Another joint
Ought to get the job done

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Last Word (Youth Brigade)*

You must be in a daze
You can’t add up two and two
We’re not going through a phase
Since it’s about what we do

So tired of what we’ve heard
But we’re gonna have the last word

So you think we’re all the same
So you think we’re a fucking act
To you we’re just a game
But we’re for real that’s a fact

You don’t believe we’re serious
Don’t believe we mean what we say
If you really think it’s true
Just try getting in our way

You don’t understand us
Call us every name in the book
You never think before you act
How can you know when you never look

So tired of what we’ve heard
But we’re gonna have the last word

You say that we’re nothing new
So you give us a bad review
We’re all in it from the start
How can we play from our hearts

You don’t believe we’re serious
Don’t believe we mean what we say
If you really think it’s true
Just try getting in our way

Dehumanized (Void)

I accept no conditions
I take what I want
I have no reputation
That I must maintain

I’VE BEEN DEHUMANIZED BY THE CITY
I’VE BEEN AMERICANIZED BY THE PITY
I’VE BEEN DEHUMANIZED BY THE CITY
I’VE BEEN AMERICANIZED BY THE PITY

You tell me that intellect
Is not a product
Of my instrument
Well, I think you’re full of shit

(CHORUS)

No feelings of sorrow
And no feelings of joy
I’m just a product
Of your ignorance

(CHORUS)

Authority (Void)*

Revolution in the street
Burned body torn and beat
They are just victims
Of authority

NO MORE AUTHORITY
NO MORE AUTHORITY

I have no respect for authority
Why should they push me
All their lust and greed
Proves their insanity

NO MORE AUTHORITY
NO MORE AUTHORITY

NO MORE AUTHORITY
NO MORE AUTHORITY

One day I’ll be old
Then I’ll have authority
I wish I was young
Then I’d have envy

NO MORE AUTHORITY
NO MORE AUTHORITY

My Rules (Void)*

Everywhere I go I see their rules
They’re on the street and in the schools
Authority says one thing for sure
Life can’t be without structures

I’M NOT AT THE HAND OF THEIR TOOLS
I’M GOING TO LIVE BY MY RULES
WHY SHOULD I LISTEN TO THOSE FOOLS
I’M GOING TO LIVE BY MY RULES

I was raised to respect their ways
Now they’ve got me caught in their maze
So many questions come up in me
But which one of us is the one to see

(CHORUS)

Wargames (Iron Cross)

catch some lead
in your head
keep on fighting
you’re gonna be dead
save the world
keep it free
it don’t mean shit
if you ain’t around to see
fight for money
fight for fame
if you’re dead it’s all the same

wargames what a price to pay
wargames sign your life away
wargames what a price to pay
wargames sign your life away

New Breed (Iron Cross)

everyone’s growing up bitter
and there’s fighting in the streets
look at your world
what do I see
I’m gonna do it my way

we are the new breed
and we will have our day
we are the new kids
and we won’t go away

I say that you’re too old
you say that we’re too young
but looking at you
what do I see
we’re gonna try it our way

we are the new breed
and we will have our day
we are the new kids
and we won’t go away

everyone’s growing up bitter
and there’s fighting in the streets
look at your world
what do I see
we’re gonna try it our way

we are the new breed
and we will have our day
we are the new kids
and we won’t go away

Teenage Violators (Iron Cross)

take a look in the streets
tell me what you can see
look at all the pigs in blue
don’t blame me they’re after you
living for now without respecting
don’t expect us to follow the rules

teenage violators
teenage violators
teenage violators

Criminal Minds (Iron Cross)

times are hard
to grow up in the 80s
all the things i’ve done
and room to grow
rebels today but gone tomorrow
can anyone understand the reason for our hatred?

criminal minds
criminal minds
they won’t listen to us no matter what we say
criminal minds
criminal minds
they take what we say and they turn it around

nothing to do
but run and destroy
can they execute the way you turn a blind eye
with the new generation so quick to die
do you have anything?
do you ever cry?

(chorus)

born in today
and already want out
I’m beating my fist
against cold stone walls
when you open your eyes
can you hear us shout
do you sleep tonight
knowing we’re left out?

(chorus)

Stolen Youth (Deadline)

promised you they would make you a man
young and bored you didn’t understand
but you didn’t believe us
you needed proof
now they stole two years of your youth

now you’re a man
spent your youth on the run
it’s too late now
you missed all the fun
they stole your youth

you come home you’re glad
you’re still fucking alive
hiding in a tent
that was no place to hide
but you didn’t believe us
you needed proof
now they stole two years of your youth

now you’re a man
spent your youth on the run
it’s too late now
you missed all the fun
they stole your youth

they stole your youth (x4)

but now you’re a man
spent your youth on the run
it’s too late now
you missed all the fun
they stole your youth
