Rural Savages 02:56
lyrics
Its 1 a.m on a Monday night They're hiding out of sight Breaking into abandoned buildings They don't know wrong from right Its their home they have nowhere to go Trailer parks and broken homes Hideouts out in the trees Cigarettes and amphetamines Alone in their thoughts Alone in their minds Trapped in a waste of time Alone With nowhere to be and nowhere to go Alone in their homes Alone with their friends And at school with the other kids Savage they are And they're never gonna get out Alive they feel on the street tonight Another alley, another fight Another run in with the cops Or passed out on the sidewalk Red lights trailing close behind And theres no escape they'l find So at night they creep and roam Endless cycle of feeling totally alone Alone in their thoughts Alone in their minds Trapped in a waste of time Alone With nowhere to be and nowhere to go Alone in their homes Alone with their friends And at school with the other kids Savage they are And they're never gonna get out Alive Rural wasteland Do you know where your children are? On the street They're Savages

Get Hurt / Waste Of Space 01:52
lyrics
Did you forget Who you were fighting? Because it just seems like you're fighting me The Hate and the judgement Splits us apart But you're too high and mighty to realize Its a disease Yell at kids And then you ask Why? They close their mind so fast Think you make things better But in reality you just fuck it up Kids have nowhere to go You threw em out of your shows Got you and your elitist crowd But who the fuck wants you around? Yell at kids and then you ask Why? They close their mind so fast You're a burnout You're a waste of space Why don't you just stay out of our fucking way?

Violent Crime 00:27
lyrics
Another school shooting People are dyeing On the TV Keep us paranoid Keep us worried You and me Why is it The same old faces? Could it be If they were black They wouldn't show us right? Cant happen to me

Lay Around 00:49
lyrics
Lie on the floor you know I lay around all day Lie on the floor you know I lay around all day Nothing to do Nothing to say Lie on the floor you know I lay around all day Got a six pack, I'm OK Lie on the floor you know I lay around all day Nothing to do Nothing to say Lie on the floor you know I lay around all day Lay around

Anxiety 01:10
lyrics
I just wanna leave but theres nowhere else to go Anxiety it grips me puke my guts up on the floor I just wanna leave but I'm trapped in this place My heart is palpitating My wits are fucking crazed Racing around, my brain is at a stall All I see is darkness and these fucking cramped walls Racing around I got nobody else Im a danger to others Im a danger to myself Anxietys' beaten me I look around, reds all I see I race around Im beaten down I cant even fucking breathe Staring at these empty walls Staring at these empty walls

Santa Carla 02:04
lyrics
City lights over the water tonight Under the boardwalk you can hear the sighs And the laughter Coming from the nearby carousel But every city's got its story to tell Some kid went missing last week Lost to the ocean or some blood sucking freak They all come up when the sun goes down A trve cvlt of the underground You don't wanna be dead You better watch your back No matter which way you choose This city's gonna fuckin take you too And all the tourists on the tilt-o-whirl In the murder capital of the world Somethin is creepin up on you Somethins creepin and theres nowhere left to run You don't wanna be dead You better watch your back No matter which way you choose This city's gonna fuckin take you too

Skate The Waste 02:28
lyrics
Most people come to see the sights But the suns so hot itl burn the retinas out of your eyes Smoke so thick you cant breathe without a mask The sun is blood red and the sky is raining ash No hope for us No end in sight We skate the wastes We will survive Skaters here roam in packs Fun shape decks and baseball bats Endless cycle, endless drought Endless pollution from the south No hope for us No end in sight We skate the wastes We will survive Concrete waves and sewer pipes Empty pools, 30 days of night Nomadic, shredding, thrasher tribes Skate the wastes Skate or fucking die No more suburban sprawl No more beach front property No more beverly hills Paradise

Flaws 02:01
lyrics
Flaws on my skin Flaws on my body Flawed in what I am Flawed in what I see Flawed in my head Flawed in being me Flaws in my head Flaws on my body Im not your fucking machine Im not here for you to label me Im not here for you to make money off of me Fuck you Im not here for you to label me Im not here for you to make money off of me Flaws on me Flaws on me

Desperation 01:27
lyrics
DESPERATION Im backed up against the wall again The pressure's building in my head Sometimes I wish that I was dead Try to float but I sink instead All the time All the time All the time trapped in my mind Give me violence give me crime Gimme an answer Give me a fucking sign Desperate Im paralyzed Desperate/All thats on my mind Desperation wont leave me blind I wont go down Not this fucking time Stab in the back its whats in store Another knife I cant take much more In my mind, in my heads' a war The struggle inside Inside the core All the time All the time All the time trapped in my mind Now I've got a fucking axe to grind Gimme an answer Give me a fucking sign Desperate Im paralyzed Desperate/All thats on my mind Desperation wont leave me blind I wont go down Not this fucking time

Park Pig 01:00
lyrics
I just came here to skate I didn't come here to instigate A fight with a rent-a-cop Who thinks they own a concrete lot Treat us like We're all scum Clothesline kids and hassle bums You're no a cop You're just a fuckin Park pig Fuck you Park pig Fuck you Youre just a jock who found a city job Now you fuck with kids for fun Power tripping macho scum To weak to have a badge or gun Treat us like We're all scum Clothesline kids and hassle bums Your're not a cop You're just a fuckin Park pig Fuck you Park pig You're not a cop Park pig You're not a fucking cop

122 Hours of Fear 03:12
lyrics
"Be quiet or be killed!" he said. In front of you and in front of me. He made the pilot get on his knees. Made him crawl, made him whimper, Made him cry out for his mother. Wow! What a show! 122 Hours Of Fear. Wow! What a show! 122 Hours Of Fear. 122 Hours Of Fear. 122. "You better shut up and listen!" he said. Danger, danger, danger, Mr. Schumann We are in a hurry, Mr. Schumann What are the odds, dear Jorgen? Am I disturbing You? Wow! What a show! 122 Hours Of Fear. Wow! What a show! 122 Hours Of Fear. 122 Hours Of Fear. 122.

Bottom Out 05:02
lyrics
I cant erase the scars I cant no matter how hard I try Cut deep and left behind Used up and out to dry Cant blame you for the things you do Because you got your struggle too But I wont be around When you finally fall through Alright this is how its gonna be Youre not the person you used to be You're treading water And you're bound And your bound to sink And when you finally bottom out You'll be another face in the crowd Wave good by to the person you were And watch the bridge fuckin burn Oah you think you're so high of class Lets see how long that'l last When it all goes sinking slow Then it all goes sinking fast And your'e all on your own And you feel the pressure grow And you've finally reached your lowest low Il watch the final... Alright this is how its gonna be Youre not the person you used to be You're treading water And you're bound And your bound to sink And when you finally bottom out You'll be another face in the crowd Wave good by to the person you were And watch the bridge fuckin burn Watch the bridge burn
