Just Say GO!

Just Say GO! GO! GO! GO!
I've got not time to sit down
No time to waste
I've got so much to do
Ain't got not time to wait
No, I can't spare no time for you
'Cos you move way too slow
I've got no time to stay
I've just got time to go - GO! GO! GO! GO!

If you want to you can bash a"fag"
He's committed some sin
Or you can kill a black or white
Cos of the color of skin
Burn a book, kill an author
Who will complain?
Start a small riot to give yourself a name
Poison food, plant a bomb, kill a marine
Burn a flag, put prayer in schools,
Or outlaw wet dreams
But to me
I just can't see
With your need to belong
What if you're wrong?
Blackmail a politician
Or kill all the Jews
Become a white power just to get in the news
Snort come coke, light a spliff,
Mark up your veins
Fuck your Mom, Kill your Dad
Sell M-16s
Snip a wire, rob a bank, cut up some jerk
Or rent a prostitute and call in sick for work
But to me
I just can't see
With your need to belong
What if you're wrong?

Take Root
01:00
|
|||
I don't know what we should change
Or even what we should
Would all the people want change
Even if we could
A lot of questions with no answers and to my surprise
I can't see through a child's eyes
I'm not giving out answers of the way things should be
A lot of people are preaching
But that sure ain't me
You just gotta move forward
In the way you feel true
And we all gotta do just what we gotta do
Like the grass beneath my feet
One grows, one dies
Tis world don't stop for no one and it's no surprise
For a seed to grow
It has to first Take Root
You must never stop searching for the truth

Me vs. You
00:45
|
|||
I tried so hard - but you drew the line
We could've stuck together
But you're no friend of mine
You ignorance has followed through
No more us vs. them - It's me vs you!
Me vs You
Me vs You
Me vs You
Me vs You

The Word
01:32
|
|||
Abstractions - Built around a name
A sudden rush
Outbreak of emotions
Exalt Exalt Exalt
the exalted
Repent
Cast off your sins
Censor that which contradicts
Outlaw dissension within
An aura of helplessness
Lessened by the passage of time
Bruised
Beaten
Battered and
Shaken
Confess
Confess
Confess your sins if you expect absolution

Section 28
00:35
|
|||
You had come so far
You thought it was great
Now they've got a new excuse to hate
And you can't stop it
It's already too late
They call it Section 28
And now it's time to go back to the 18h century
We had come so far
We thought it was great
Now they've got a new excuse to hate
And we can't stop it
It's already too late
They call it Section 28
And soon they'll be after you and me

Just Another Word
00:33
|

When will you realize
that neither black nor white
are higher than each other
When will you realize
That in the name of civil rights
You build racial unrest
These walls you build between us
Could be broken down
If you just open your mind
You alienate me with your attitude
When will you realize?
You cast me off won't hear a word that I say
Stuck in your bigoted ways
You self-righteous man
We can all be free
If we just work together
But you want nothing of my "kind"
When will you realize?

What's Your Price?
01:28
|
|||
It can be a million dollars
or just one large cent
By the time you get it,
it's already spent
Lease your soul
One piece at a time
You agreed to it
You signed on the line
What's Your Price?

Decide
01:11
|
|||
Last night I sat around thinking
And waiting for you to call
But the phone just didn't ring
Realized I was waiting for the fallExpectations
Building things up in my mind
Grasping for straws
And that's all I'm gonna find
Maybe you feel it
And maybe you don't
Tell me you will when I know that you won't
It's a letdown
But I'll survive
Somehow - I think I'll survive
