We're Not Gonna Go

We're not square, we're not socia's
We're the Drapes and Droogs and Greasers
We are the Punks and we don't take no for an answer
The only "no" that we've got is no compromises
That's the way we live and breath, if that's a problem
That's too bad, cause we're not gonna leave

No! We're Not Gonna Go
OI OI OI

I've never been into politics because they always bored me I don't know what's right, don't care what's wrong
All I know is what I see I'd rather pay my dues, too everybody that was born to lose
Than honor the lives of the men who died
In a war I never beleived in

No! We're Not Gonna Go
OI OI OI

Vietnam

I got drafted by my Uncle Sam
He sent me off to fight in Vietnam
But Charlie one uped when he set his booby traps
The helmet on my head has been replaced with a bag of rats
I didn't want to come to this war
I shoot Charlie down and he asks me what for
I don't want to go home to Mom and Pop's in a body bag
Ya know, this war is a drag

War! I gotta get out of Vietnam
I wanna get out of Vietnam
Out of Vietnam

Go Gonzo

With nineteen bucks and some ciggerate butts
I finally found my soul
Forget the past the time has come for Gonzo Rock and Roll
I don't know what's going on while the chips fall
Record fucked up reality with my back against the wall

Go! Go Go Gonzo!
Go! Go Go Gonzo!

Finally come to the conclusion that what happens is set in stone Believe in something I can't see my life I'll never control
Something snapped inside the night that Joey died
77's coming back again to take another ride

Go! Go Go Gonzo!
Go! Go Go Gonzo!

Back Seat

Pick up my girl and head down the road
My wallets empty, my gas tanks low
No where to go so pull to the side
And jump in the back, for another ride

Let's stay in the Back Seat of my car (X4)

Behind the school in the parking lot
Things are heating up, we're getting hot
Her parents aren't to fond of me
We'll stay in the car so they won't see

Let's stay in the Back Seat of my car

repeat chorus 1X

Alt. chorus: (I'm gonna hit it in the Back Seat of my car)

Hot Topic

You think yer selling goods and services to the local freaks
You're a poison to the local scene

You almost shut down the Abyss when ya came to town
You're making money off the underground
Off the underground, Off the underground(whole deal x2)

You finally shut down the Abyss, 3 years in this town
Still makin money off the underground
Off the underground, Off the underground

Timmy

Timmy says we're gonna make it some day
I'm sorry Timmy it just don't work that way
Bands like us never get a shot
But we give it our best, we give it all we got

And I know that's just the way it goes
At school and work and the weekends after shows
We can change any time and lose integrity
That's just the way it is and the way it'll always be

I don't know whether to laugh or scream
People say roll with the punches or hey man that's just life
But I stood my ground and gave it my best
While life Just punched me in the chest
And I grasp for air, not knowing if I really care

And I know that's just the way it goes
At school and work and the weekends after shows
We could change anytime and lose integrity
That's just the way it is and the way it'll always be

guitar solo and repeat chorus

Ex-Bestfiends

I heard about my ex-bestfriend the other day
I heard he went and got himself a case of AIDS
When all you do is drugs and fuck then life is a game of chance
And the only thing that ya win is death

So I'm still holdin on while I can
Cause I don't wanna end up like my ex-bestfriend

Well my car's broke down, my girl left me
And the bills keep pillin up
Sometimes the weight on my shouldersis way too much
and sometimes I wanna give up
If I didn't have hope for the future
I would've killed myself years ago
I think of all my friends and all that would be lost
Something keeps me hangin, for another day
Cause I don't want to end up like my ex-best friend

What happened to you, what happened to you?
That new urban beat talks about stayin true but
Where are you, what happened to you?

Drug & Booze

I used to think I knew myself and where I was going
Now I just sit in my room all day and strum on my guitar
I wanna go where the kids is and the good times are flowin
I've gotta get to Bird Mouth Mouth, that's where ya know I'm havin fun

Sittin in my room listening to my scratched up old Clash records
Strummin the tunes Joe Strummer used that eased my heart
There's nothin that goes better with this weather than my Chuck Berry 45's
I listen to those songs in my room all day long
It feels good to be alive

Where do we go from here
Where do we go from here
Are the drugs and booze that we abuse
Steering us from the path we need to make it

Another Day

One more scratch up on the wall
'Cause another empty day is done
someone took my money got my bag and said so long
I dont care if you think I'm an idiot
'Cause I know I don't know Shit
anytime I've got a good Idea I'm quick to forget it

Another Day, Another Bag, Another Drag
Another Chance gone to make something of my self
So fucking what, So FUCK YOU!

A Quick Fit

Here in our hometown, I walk around
in complete discontent for everyone
i know this time, its not just me
i dont know what but something's going wrong

I know what you'll say, you'll tell me I'm ok
but i'm too busy pissing my life away
to listen to a fucking word you say

Ever computer in the Civic Center has been replaced
With a Dell, our tax dollars spent well
While a man dies out in the cold street
'cause he's got nowhere to go

I know what you'll say, just tell me I'm ok
but I'm too busy pissin' my life away, to listen to a fucking word you say

The Young & The Weirds

Wake Up in the morning thinkin' nothin to do
You know you're right so what can ya do
Gotta get out on the street and find something for you
Walk to St. Joe to get something to eat
Making dope deals on Franklin St.
Gotta get that shit, gotta redistribute
I'm bored and sober how about you

We're the Young and the Weird
And we dont care
I dont care what you think of us
Gimme that lip I'll give ya something to suck

Wake up in the morning and I cant breathe
I'm shaking on the floor this aint for me
call the paramedic, come and take me away
I smell like shit, I smell like puke
hold my head up 'cause im turning blue
call the ambulance, come and take me away
I shoulda just stayed in bed today

We're the Young and the Weird and we dont care
I dont care what you think of us
Keep running your mouth, you're gonna get punched

And I don't want your upper class society
I would could never live like that I'd rather die
Than live in the shadow of suburban kings and queens
Dont want no part of that scheme

After The Bomb

Where ya gonna eat, where ya gonna sleep?
After the Bombs

Where ya gonna work, you stupid jerk?
After the Bombs

Where ya gonna eat, where ya gonna sleep?
After the bombs

Who ya gonna fuck, yer outta luck
After the Bombs

When the mushroom clouds have all settle and spread Radiation fills my heart and I'm already dead

After the Bombs X2

Where ya gonna eat where ya gonna sleep?
After the Bombs

Where ya gonna work ya fuckin jerk
After the Bombs

Who ya gonna fuck, yer outta luck
After the Bombs

Who ya gonna kill when there's no one left
After the bombs

Disheartened

I'll sing this song to the Disheartened souls
Who are wasting away here with me
Join the 'cause and see the results of
What It's like to live free

It don't take much but a push or a shove
to strike a nerve but did i hit the right one?
so follow me 'cause the land of the free
Rests underneath a different sun

What happened to Kids in the scene did something happen in between
the last time you and me saw each other
tell me whats wrong my sisters and brothers

Did somebody tell ya you were no good
did somebody tell you to go home
don't worry about them they'll be dead some day and they'll be out of our way

What happened to my ex-bestfriend
what lies did they tell ya to pull you in
I hope your new life is better than your old friends
becuase you'll never see me again

Did somebody tell you I was no good
Did somebody tell you to get the fuck
Don't worry about the world it'll be gone someday
and i'll look back and say
I'll sing this song to the disheartened souls
who are wasting away here with me
join the cause and see the results of
what its like to live free
it don't take much but a push or a shove to
strike a nerve but did i hit the right one
so follow me 'cause the land of the free
rests underneath a different sun

Doing Fine

16 years of wasted time
My parents say I'm outta line
But to me, I'm doing fine
Stupid kids in stupid clothes
Gotta get away, where, I don't know
Don't ask me, I'm doing fine

Let's, let's go, let's go, where, I don't know

My friends are leavin' it bothers me
Somehow I gotta stay happy
But it's alright, I'm doing fine
Gotta go to work, gotta grow up
Looks like I'm outta luck
I'll tell you again, I'm doing fine

Let's go, let's go, let's go, where, I don't know

You're Gonna Pay

You're walking over me, you're stepping on my face
One day you'll see what I feel like, so just get off my case

You're gonna pay, you're gonna pay -oi oi oi!
You're gonna pay, you're gonna pay -oi oi oi!

You're makin fun of me, and you were once my friend
But in the end, then, you will find that now you've got now friends

You're gonna pay, you're gonna pay -oi oi oi!
You're gonna pay, you're gonna pay -oi oi oi!

Beyond Repair

Don't think about a thing whenever I hit the bong
I inhale the smoke into my lungs and hold it real long
Now, it doesn't bother me my babe is leavin' me 'cause I'm pukin' everywhere

And I'm fucked beyond repair

Drink, drink, drink until the sun comes up
I'm already messed up but it's not enough
Now, it doesn't bother me my babe is leavin' me 'cause I'm pukin' everywhere

And I'm fucked beyond repair

Annhialate The City

Here they come, there's planes flying high
Dropping their bombs, now we're all gonna die

Annhialate, Annhialate the city x4

Here the come, with their second attack
Kill us all now so they won't come back

Annhialate, Annhialate the city x4

Gonzo Punx Gonna Mess You Up

I had a bad feeling from the start
The deal looked sketchy, didnt wanna take part
He took my money, now he's gone
But that's ok, there's gonna be a brawl

Two Months Later, sitting on the couch
The suns going down, it's time to get out
Cruise the east side, curse the kids on Green
Tonight's the night they're gonna bleed

Do what you want is what we say
Now you've crossed the line and you're gonna pay
Tonight's the night you're getting fucked
Gonzo punks gonna mess you up!

Rats Aboard

Rats Aboard my sinking ship, the SS Mescalito
We're going down to meet our fate in the watery depths below
My ship, my mates, myself, we had a good run
We plundered and we pillaged, drunk on rum under the tropical sun

Rats Aboard, Dogs and whore, the infested and the damned
We're going down to meet our fate, we don't belong in any land
The ocean's where i spent my life, its' where I'll find my grave
And now my body's being eaten, like every tramp made to walk the plank

Sound Of The Streets

First heard the sound when I was twelve years old And I knew I found My Salvation
It was a sound so raw and real, I couldnt find it on the radio stations
And ever since the day the nihilism started, I picked up my guitar
I've been stuck in one direction, with no place to go

Yea since that day
We just wanted to play

We live our lives to the rhythm of a different beat (OI OI OI)
I'll Keep listening to the sound of the streets (OI OI OI)
We live our lives to the rhythm of a different beat
I'll keep listening to the sound of the streets

Stay Free

Sitting outside on the cold concrete steps
I smoke a ciggerette
Think of all the things I havent done and i count my regrets
Wonder what I'm still hanging around for
I know somehere out there, there has to be more

Get in some trouble, gotta go to work and pay your dues
Try to get ahead but it's always bad luck for you
You spend all your time crying about
A sad situation that you made yourself
Come back from candyland and play the cards your dealt

Theres a big wide open rode calling out to me
Six strings and four wheels are gonna set me free
It's a life long obsession with living my day dreams
I gotta find a way, find a way to stay free

Faith

I say a prayer when I start the day
I need a little help along the way
I feel the love coming from above
and that's all I really need
There comes a time for change in your life
and my time has come today
I gotta stand on my own two feet
Try to walk the rightous way

Everybody everywhere could use a helping hand
Wanna send this message out accross the land
Stick by me 'cause I stick by Him
And we'll see it through 'til the end

So many people out there, are you afraid to admit
That there's gotta be more to life, gotta be more than this
I know that sometimes I fall short of grace
Gotta pick myself back up and get back in that race

Everybody everywhere could use a helping hand
Wanna send this message out accross the land
Stick by me 'cause I stick by Him
And we'll see it through 'til the end

That Same Road

Smoking, drinking, sittin here thinking
About Days gone by, friends that died,
and the times that won't come back
Did you ever think It would be this way
Living the same life day to day
Walking behind, falling behind
Never bother to ask why
Never, no never did ya bother to ask why
You walk the same road everyday
Like the blind leading the blind
Until the day you die

Skinheads and punks, potheads and drunks
Thats the stuff we're made of, and there's no stopping us
Did you ever think that it would be this way
Living the same life day to day
Walking behind falling behind never bother to ask why

Scally Cap Kids

Twenty years old I already feel like an old man
Jaded, conscious, and weary to the errors of this land
The kids in my eyes shows me where the future lies
So keep the score I'm telling you it's fucking worth fighting for
When government can't help you out it's time for a change
The struggle will be hard in the coming days
But keep the score 'cause in the end you'll be repaid

That FUCKING George treats us like a bunch of clowns
Somebody oughta shoot him down
Come on lets get him now
Keep the score it's fucking worth fighting for
