[StoneMtn]

We flipped our finger to the king of england

Stole our country from the indians

With god on our side and guns in our hands

We took it for our own

A nation dedicated to liberty

Justice and equality

Does it look that way to you?

It doesn't look that way to me

The sickest joke I know

[Chorus]

Listen up man, I'll tell you who I am

Just another stupid american

You don't wanna listen

You don't wanna understand

So finish up your drink and go home

I come from the land of Ben Franklin

Twain and Poe and Walt Whitman

Otis Redding, Ellington,

The country that I love

But it's a land of the slaves and the ku klux klan

Haymarket riot and the great depression

Joe McCarthy, Vietnam

The sickest joke I know

[Chorus]

I'm proud and ashamed

Every fourth of july

You got to know the truth

Before you say that you got pride

Now the cops got tanks 'cause the kids got guns

Shrinks pushin' pills on everyone

Cancer from the ocean, cancer from the sun

Straight to Hell we go

[Chorus 2x]

Tour is War - Josh Martinez

Another instore, another night on tour,

Maybe I can meet some strangers I can pretend to make friends with

I only ever see the bar, the hotel or the highway

We drive, sleep and drink, arrive Half dead

then bring the crowd alive With the live rap music

couple smokes couple sodas and a high five

Promoters owe us so let’s get some booze up in the dive

Respect the honest living but its giving me grief

I’m spending time spinning through the linen supple women in my reach.

Where did the day go, on whose say so,

I left my wallet and keys in san diego

I’ve stopped manning the lighthouse that guides ships to shore.

I don’t care about your wherabouts, dood I’m on tour

Working hard for my money try to spread a little bread

And feed a flock of deadbeats get em drunk and on the pot

I don’t make a lot of money but live a life inspired,

By living off the fruits of my work so I can be retired

sit in a lounge chair where I’m allowed to just relax.

I don’t fit into your bracket, I don’t pay the income tax

Palletes smitten with musical talents.

we walk on razorblades and can still find balance.

it pays to be patient amidst all the unrest that comes from the palace.

It weighs on my days.

it makes me think in waves, of strong drink and hidden caves,

whoever blinks first is forced to disperse

and I’m craving the ways of the traveller trail blazing,

taking time to be engulfed in something so amazing.

Rediscovering the reason I love touring in the first place,

if I do this for the loot then I’m dealing with worse case.

love and hate the state they call being on the road.

Haven’t dated in 3 years, feel ready to explode.

But I’m a man on the move the landscape the moon

the need to feed off this planet’s life until my doom.

everybody knows that hard work shows

it separates the fakes from the pros.

Shit happens you learn from it, you get to the top

then you burn to return to the summit

I’m only one rapper in a bunch of pigeonholed kids whose goal was

just be patient, avoid the temptation

the stagnation, it’s all location location.

I listen /follow tradition, pay dues to musicians

Praises due Taj Mahal - gone fishing.

First star wishing that I might glisten with good luck.

Just another cog in the piston just waiting to get stuck

[SmoothedShredder]

Blaze of Grey - Josh Martinez

It's not like we didn't go the extra mile we tried.

Got painted into corners had to wait until the floors dried.

Lying in bed, letting thoughts drift ahead may they touch the rift

That turns a sure thing into ifs and…

Perhaps the cliffs we climb sap the drifting mind,

I couldn't let it go still I left it all behind./

I miss you in my bed it's getting harder to wake up,

I used loved the way we fought then fucked to make up.

But now you wouldn't know me see i've changed in ways.

Gone over the alleged edge in these strange days.

But be that as it may, i mingle every single day,

On the surface and do things out of love on purpose.

With nervous ticks, I keep my nose in my business,

that's filled with failed tactics, walk the line like a fascist.

I could’ve practiced more acting but i'm looking for fullfilling,

feeling the pulling of sitting back and just chilling.

I’m in process of making rapid progress,

got some projects on the go but it's slow at the office.

Glad i don't have a girl, but I want to be wanted.

I approach undaunted. See if you got, you flaunt it.

I'm on it like my ex on my best man.

Thought sex was less than expected. Never been so disrespected.

I'm getting past the point shoots keep pushing through the ground,

but fuck it, I ain't tripping…but i keep falling down.

It's been real rainy, my bed's been so empty,

though i know there's plenty of fish in the sea to tempt me

but this time is meant for me to vent and finding plenty

of things to do inside but not really doing anything

but thinking and reading and drinking and dreaming,

and staying up late night in smoky bars screaming.

Let me in. Let me out. Hold it in Get it out.

get a grip got a hold it fits now break the mold.

Chorus:

sleeping most of my days away

then waking up in a blaze of gray

just can't pull it off and face the day

so i'm sleeping most of my days away

Verse 2

Just another bitter literalist hate liberal arts

literature and get literally pissed

Pour out a little liquor for your dead mind

what a bitter bind you can let the light in and still…

There ain't no sunshine when she's gone,

only darkness everyday

I wonder this time where's she gone,

and if she's gone to stay.

I must insist, for this US to exist,

we have to learn to live alone and keep growing on our own.

I know right from wrong and know sight from song,

and slight but strong, i take flight, BUT despite i'm hanging on.

Damn right i'm doing dope things, I can't help growing

Gotta keep on keeping on, the lawn needs mowing.

The dishes need doing, I need to do some more screwing,

And usually i'm pretty choosy but when boozy only human...

And if you see me at the party wearing nothing but a lamp shade

you'll know i've come apart but that at least i've got bandaids.

The band played on for the handmaidens who remained

and the dudes who stayed on, got laid til day dawned.

I've made claims before that were different than my aims

now i stand behind my words and i'm not calling out names.

Like which claire was it, and where was it located,

I still have the naked photos of a few ladies i dated.

I know you're listening cause sometimes i can hear you,

and if it's nearby, i can feel your heart beating

We keep leaving things being it's not easy to contain,

Keeping ominously calm when it never stays the same

Weaving through time like your touch could soothe my mind,

i used to find clues to who i was but now i'm blind drunk

on wine reaching punk rock plateaus then retching,

and i'm not depressed I just passed out resting.

[StoneMtn]

Someone drank my wine

I stand on the welfare line

Tape's stuck in the VCR

And someone stole my car

My computer's obsolete

My girlfriend has webbed feet

My radio won't work

My friends are jerks

Life sucks, life sucks, life sucks

Dunkin' Donuts closed

I got fungus on my toes

My girlfriend tried to strangle me

With her pantyhose

The train it smells like shit

There ain't nowhere to sit

My radio won't work

My friends are jerks

Life sucks, life sucks, life sucks,

Life sucks, life sucks

Every time

So what you wanna do?

You can't stand bein' you

Just kill yourself, just kill yourself

I'll leave a loaded gun for you

I'll leave a loaded gun for you, for you

I'll leave a loaded gun for you

Someone drank my wine

I stand on the welfare line

Tape's stuck in the VCR

And someone stole my car

The train it smells like shit

There ain't nowhere to sit

My radio won't work

My friends are jerks

Life sucks, life sucks, life sucks,

Life sucks, life sucks

Every time

Life sucks, life sucks

Every time

[StoneMtn]

You make things miserable every day.

You make me sick with the things you say.

You stand for the anthem at the old ball game

And your pledge of allegiance is so fucking lame.

This kind of freedom is perfect for you,

As long as you can get away with what you do,

But everything you do is in such bad taste,

And it's your fault the media is such a waste.

Be a good American.

Fuck off!

Be a good American

And go to war!

Be a god-fearing citizen

And kill someone

Or kill yourself.

'Cause you're such a fucking bore.

You nearly drove me crazy,

In your asshole schools,

Grooming us all

To be fucking fools,

Working for the government

As zombie tools,

But we won't be satsfied

'til we trash your rules.

Put a gun in my back

And I'll do what you say,

But I'll burn down your house

If I get away.

Throw me in jail

And I'll spit in your face,

'Cause anarchy is gonna

Take your fucking place.

So be a good American.

Fuck off!

Be a good American

And go to war!

Be a god-fearing citizen

And kill someone

Or kill yourself.

- Pure Prairie League

I can see why you think you belong to me

I never tried to make you think

Or let you see one thing for yourself

Now you're off with someone else and I'm alone

I can never see what's right or what is wrong

Aimee, what you gonna do

I think I could stay with you for awhile

Maybe longer if I do

Don't you think the time is right for us to find

All the things we thought weren't proper could be right in time

And can't you see which way we should turn together or alone

I can never see what's right and what is wrong

Woncha look at me an tell me

Aimee, what you gonna do

I think I could stay with you for awhile

Maybe longer if I do

Now it's come to what you want you've had your way

And all the things you thought before just faded into gray

And can you see that I don't know if it's you or if it's me

If it's one of us I'm sure we both will see

Don't take too long to tell me

Aimee, what you gonna do

I think I could stay with you for awhile

Maybe longer if I do

I keep fallin in and out of love with you

Fallin in and out of love with you

Don't know what I'm gonna do

I keep fallin in and out of love with you

[d_rawk]

I'm put together beautifully

Big wet bottle in my fist, big wet rose in my teeth

I'm a perfect piece of ass

Like every Californian

So tall I take over the street, with highbeams shining on my back

A wingspan unbelievable

I'm a festival, I'm a parade

And all the wine is all for me

I'm a birthday candle in a circle of black girls

God is on my side

Cuz I'm the child bride

I'm so sorry but the motorcade will have to go around me this time

Cuz God is on my side

And I'm the child bride

And all the wine is all for me

I carry the dollhouse, safe on my shoulders

Through the black city, night lights are on in the corners

And everyone's sleeping upstairs

All safe and sound

All safe and sound, I won't the let psychos around

I'm in a state, I'm in a state

Nothing can touch us my love

I'm in a state, I'm in a state

Nothing can touch us my love

[CatPhish]

I'm a crazy motherfucker with a heart of gold

Mess with me and your blood will run cold

[Jakis]

All the way down to the bottom

All the way down to the fire

All the way down to the devil

Beelzebub

(To the bottom of the pit, now)

I got sins

Piled high

Wait for me

When I die

Holy love

Dirty deed

You don’t care

Fire burns

Cold as ice

No more hate

No more lies

Coffin nailed

Dirty deeds

No more life

You're a part time lover and a full time friend

The monkey on you're back is the latest trend

I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else

But you

I kiss you on the brain in the shadow of a train

I kiss you all starry eyed, my body's swinging from side to side

I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else

But you

Here is the church and here is the steeple

We sure are cute for two ugly people

I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else

But you

The pebbles forgive me, the trees forgive me

So why can't, you forgive me?

I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else

But you

I will find my nitch in your car

With my mp3 DVD rumple-packed guitar

I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else

But you

Du du du du du du dudu

Du du du du du du dudu

Du du du du du du dudu du

Up up down down left right left right B A start

Just because we use cheats doesn't mean we're not smart

I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else

But you

You are always trying to keep it real

I'm in love with how you feel

I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else

But you

We both have shiny happy fits of rage

You want more fans, I want more stage

I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else

But you

Don Quixote was a steel driving man

My name is Adam I'm your biggest fan

I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else

But you

Squinched up your face and did a dance

You shook a little turd out of the bottom of your pants

I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else

But you

Du du du du du du dudu

Du du du du du du dudu

Du du du du du du dudu du

But you

all them tremendous brunettes around

all them tremendous brunettes

all them tremendous brunettes around

slow down dont fuck with my high

I want be left alone here with my monsters

and say now it's time to ride to see lonely girls

and to not put the moves on them

all them tremendous brunettes around

all them tremendous brunettes

all them tremendous brunettes around

praise now the baby genuis

she skips in the shade of the lonely sour apple tree

while she snaps on her gum

her gleaming teeth bared and the shine that she shows to me

tremendous brunettes around

all them tremendous brunttes around

tremendous brunettes around

all them tremendous brunttes around

all of your ill-gotten games

that you have wipped up to a rich, foamy lather, girl

nameless gnaw off my pains

like three hundred trumpets and just one is out of tune

all them tremendous brunettes around

all them tremendous brunettes

But if you should die

Would you please leave me your eyes

And your recipe for

Arsenic pie

Where you would have been proud

That won't happen now

That won't happen now

Aloha,

[captainsunshine]

I'm floating here from red to blue,

The spectrum in between.

Shifting in from yellow,

Moving into green.

Where's the gold I'm looking for,

The cauldron black and hot.

The silver teacup overflows,

And shows me to the spot.

Is there a pot of gold,

At the end of this sweet rainbow?

Shifting in from yellow,

Feeling rather mellow, and I'm...

I'm looking for my friend.

Will this rainbow ever (ever!)

Ever (ever!)

End?

Rainbow long and winding,

Seems to never end.

But perserverance pays its price,

In looking for my friend.

The dove I know will lend a hand,

The pure no longer white.

The purple face asphyxiates,

And pales from the fight.

Is there a pot of gold,

At the end of this sweet rainbow?

Shifting in from yellow,

Feeling rather mellow, and I'm...

I'm looking for my friend.

Will this rainbow ever (ever!)

Ever (ever!)

End?

Is there a pot of gold,

At the end of this sweet rainbow?

Shifting in from yellow,

Feeling rather mellow, and I'm...

I'm looking for my friend.

Will this rainbow ever (ever!)

Ever (ever!)

End?

Is there a pot of gold,

At the end of this sweet rainbow?

Shifting in from yellow,

Feeling rather mellow, and I'm...

I'm looking for my friend.

Will this rainbow ever (ever!)

Ever (ever!)

End?

Whimsical, a pen in motion, thoughts roll in my mind,

scamper by so quickly now an agile word would find,

well I tried to grasp an angel, saw her wings, and watched her fly

reality for mingling dreams to scurry back and get in line.

We ordered out for mindless dribble,

over used, half wit, ishkabibble,

corner store junkies giving advice

we ordered out for paradise.

A gallery, a pen in motion, a delightful line instead,

it's chivalry outranks commotion on the roads most common tread,

and on those boots, the clicking heels, the dreams, the angel starts to fly,

to masquerade the world's parade for only seconds at a time.

We ordered out for mindless dribble,

over used, half wit, ishkabibble,

corner store junkies giving advice

we ordered out for paradise.

Apple butter toast is nice,

envisioned on a third wind twice,

my fine breaded friend was denied by the vice,

And they missed the perfume.

In a native centered world, one picks the fruit right off the trees,

on a wild blue island in the deep blue seas,

beyond a paleocentric world with all our people shaped in threes,

the only way I get around is some mild insanity.

We ordered out for mindless dribble,

over used, half wit, ishkabibble,

corner store junkies giving advice

we ordered out for paradise.

Apple butter toast is nice,

envisioned on a third wind twice,

my fine breaded friend was denied by the vice,

and they missed the perfume

Chorus: Let me tell you about the Proto Culture

If you don't know the culture, here's the whole structure

We've had enough of the lackluster-trust us

We get the kind of games you can't rent at Blockbuster

KU: Game related, raise it bit by bit

Yo D, link up the cable we'll go hit for hit

Phantasma plasma particle beam means I have ya

on the run-the rendered effects hot like magnas

Del: I play games by Capcom with a power glove strapped on O

n any platform, I don't spend my dough on Phat Farm

Video games, I got many to play

Before my life expires; fufill my desires

KU: Mastering your hardest boss

Shattering all stars across

Ain't hard to cross the finish line

Floatin' on Daytona

Wex, Gex or Kloana, we get ‘em all at cost

RPG, Platform we transform like Macross

Del: Rival schools, Batsu

Purchase you ought to

It came with one free CD, it's like I bought two

I hope they make part II for Dreamcast

‘Cause games I've seen in mags, you won't believe they have!

KU: Getting callouses turning over asteroids

Graviton bombs destroyed

Getting moms annoyed

Now I'm hacking Nightmare Creatures

Their features splattered across the screen

It gets more clean each year

Del: I remember my homie Ed Coats had the most

A Colecovision-every week I'd visit

Playing Donkey Kong Jr., Venture, Rock and Rope

Games I thought was dope

While my moms was watching soaps

KU: I'm on the next level

I got a double barrel shotgun in the Doomworld

Waiting on the next devil

Armor's low-check the arsenal

Rupture the main conductor playin Disruptor

Del: I remember Ninja Gaiden

Finished finally

With Ramone wouldn't answer the phone

This was before getting blown

I own the first Nintendo Power

With the maps of Zelda Help me conquer in an hour

Chorus: Let me tell you about the Proto Culture

If you don't know the culture, here's the whole structure

We've had enough of the lackluster-trust us

We get the kind of games you can't rent at Blockbuster

(2X)

Del: Hey KU you know my SEGA collection is massive

Got all the past hits and classics

Herzog Zwei now Panzer Zwei

Originality that made me a fan today

KU: It's Pandemonium-it's like Toys R Us

Flippin the next Saturn game brings out the boys in us

It's poisonous

Taking out the boys in blue in Grand Theft Auto,

Snatch a Rolls Royce to use

Del: Yeah, I'll admit Playstation improved

Come visit Feudal Japan with me and Tenchu

Bushido Blade 2 with sword play so accurate

Mega Man Legends but I had to buy a map for it.

KU: I fence Hyo to get a Neo-Geo

For Samurai 64 in full rendered splendor

Rival counter and enter my sword in his innards

My joint was being Leonardo wuppin' on Splinter

Del: I gotta get Xenogears-that's the type of game that relieves my fears

Get it from overseas to here

I gotta get Psychic Force

Authentic arcade that I can endorse

They got me liking imports

KU: I'll need to be at the next E3,

What's the next CD I need to see

Me and D signing checks

Let's float overseas, mingle with game companies

Giving tips to Capcom and Sega-you can't front on these

Del: To anyone who knew me better

Know I chose Saturn first Cause it's 2-D heaven

Bernie Stolar dropped the ball with the RAM cartridge

X-men Vs. Streetfighter could've expanded the market

KU: Marvel Vs. Capcom-beyond fathom

Tell the truth, Playstation ain't ready to have ‘em

Come on I'll bring the onslaught

Alpha and Omega

Khaos Unique brought to you by SEGA.

Chorus: Let me tell you about the Proto culture

If you don't know the culture, here's the whole structure

[Esau.]

The beast behind our eyes is loose,

The day has come, the day has come,

We march to Armageddon, hungry for the war

I see the hated enemy, I see what I was taught to see

And one of us will bend the knee

We understand the law

The blood lust jerks our legs to march,

Fife and drum, fife and drum

Our eyes are fixed and fearless

Searching for the war

Our statesmen deal in blood and lies

100 million stifled cries, 100 million wasted lives

Already gone before

So March or Die, March or Die

The stench of death is in the sky

We never fail to satisfy

We rend with tooth and claw

Sword and shield and jackboot heel

We love to kill, we love to kill

We love to taste our own blood

Squirm in our own gore

Children weep and widows wail,

Our education systems fail,

To hide our guilt we build more jails,

and we shall build still more

Our forests die, the stranglehold

That we put on the earth for gold

Will yet increase ten thousand fold

And no one knows what for

March and die, March and die

Defecate, despoil and lie

Cheat, dissemble, preach & spy

Build your house of straw

Laugh and cry, laugh and cry

Bloody sunset drowns the sky

For earth to heal then we must die

No-one deserves it more

I tell you we are doomed my friends

Our time is come, our time is come

We live within a charnel house

Rotten to the core

We glorify lust, greed & pain

We drown our hope in poison rain

We point the finger, shift the blame

Ambition makes us whores

March or croak, march or croak

All your lives a cosmic joke

Fill your days with piss and smoke

The wolf waits at your door

Burn and dance, burn and dance

Sex, death, torture, false romance

Whoop and howl, you have no chance

Burn and rise no more

[SmoothedShredder]

If you change your mind, Im the first in line

Honey Im still free

Take a chance on me

If you need me, let me know, gonna be around

If youve got no place to go, if youre feeling down

If youre all alone when the pretty birds have flown

Honey Im still free

Take a chance on me

Gonna do my very best and it aint no lie

If you put me to the test, if you let me try

Take a chance on me

(thats all I ask of you honey)

Take a chance on me

We can go dancing, we can go walking, as long as were together

Listen to some music, maybe just talking, get to know you better

cos you know Ive got

So much that I wanna do, when I dream Im alone with you

Its magic

You want me to leave it there, afraid of a love affair

But I think you know

That I cant let go

If you change your mind, Im the first in line

Honey Im still free

Take a chance on me

If you need me, let me know, gonna be around

If youve got no place to go, if youre feeling down

If youre all alone when the pretty birds have flown

Honey Im still free

Take a chance on me

Gonna do my very best and it aint no lie

If you put me to the test, if you let me try

Take a chance on me

(come on, give me a break will you? )

Take a chance on me

Oh you can take your time baby, Im in no hurry, know Im gonna get you

You dont wanna hurt me, baby dont worry, I aint gonna let you

Let me tell you now

My love is strong enough to last when things are rough

Its magic

You say that I waste my time but I cant get you off my mind

No I cant let go

cos I love you so

If you change your mind, Im the first in line

Honey Im still free

Take a chance on me

If you need me, let me know, gonna be around

If youve got no place to go, if youre feeling down

If youre all alone when the pretty birds have flown

Honey Im still free

Take a chance on me

Gonna do my very best, baby cant you see

Gotta put me to the test, take a chance on me

Gonna do my very best, baby cant you see

Gotta put me to the test, take a chance on me

(take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me)

Ba ba ba ba baa, ba ba ba ba baa ba-ba

Honey Im still free

Isn't that ^ a Peter Paul and Mary song?

[Esau.]

Isn't that ^ a Peter Paul and Mary song?

Sort of, its from the short lived Peter, Paul and Lemmie era, I think that was when Mary was either pregnant or in rehab, the story is vague at best and not well documented.

[Davey Boy 2.0]

Lemmie knocked Mary up? that man is cooler than a mentholated ice bong

puts a whole new perspective on responsible parenting

[captainsunshine]

Never had a home like this,

And the prophets said, 'Be careful what you wish.'

Never had to think twice,

Always knew my home was in paradise.

[Esau.]

Dust settles in a darkened room

Whiskey steals away the sense of doom

I ain't ever goin' back no more

We made love and we made hate

Never could seem to get it straight

I ain't ever goin' back no more baby

You're branded on my soul and in my mind

I keep running up and down this old fence line

I ain't ever goin' back no more

I ain't ever goin' back no more

[StoneMtn]

I wish that I could hide away

And find a wall to bang my brains

I'm living in a fantasy, a nightmare dream... reality

People ride about all day

In metal boxes made away

I wish that they would drop the bomb

And kill these cunts that don't belong

I hate people

I hate the human race

I hate people

I hate your ugly face

I hate people

I hate your fucking mess

I hate people

They hate me

My mother thinks that I am a jerk

Because I hate my bleeding work

Be like daddy he's sincere

But don't be true... or you'll be queer

I'm working at my 9 to 5

with boring cunts that give me jibe

their talking of the love they give

they never give... they never give

I hate people

I hate the human race

I hate people

I hate your ugly face

I hate people

I hate your fucking mess

I hate people

They hate me
