1. Bring The Noise

Bring The Noise

[ Cariton Ridenhour / Hank Shocklee / Eric Sadler / Anthrax ]

[Verse 1]

[Bass :]

Now low can you do ? Death row what a brother knows
Once again back is the incredible the rhyme animal
The incredible D Public Enemy, number one
" Five - o " said, " Freeze I " and I got numb
Can I tell 'Em that I really never had a gun
But it's the Wax that the terminator spun
Now they got me in a cell 'cause my records they sell
Cause a brother like me said " Well...
...Farrakhan's a prophet and I think you ought to listen to
What he can say to you what you though to do
Follow for now power of the peace say
"Make a miracle, D, Pump of the lyrical
Black is back, all in, here gonna win
Chek it out, yeah y'all c'mon, here we go again

Turn it up ! Bring the noises !

[Verse 2]

Never badder than bad 'cause the brother is madder than mad
At the fact that's corrupt as a senator
Soul on a roll, but you treat it like soap on a rope
Cause the beast in the lines are no dope
Listen for lessons I'm saying inside music
That the crusicsare blasting me for
They'll never care for the brothers and sisters now across
The country has us up for the war
We got to demontrate, come on now, they're gonna have to
Wait, 'till we get it right
Radio station I question their blackness
They call themselves black, but we'll see if they'll play this

[Chorus]

Turn it up ! Bring the noises !

[Verse 3]

Get from in front of me, the crowd runs to me
My Dee Jay is warm, he's, I call him norm you know
He can cut a record from side to side
So what, the ride, the glide should be much safer than a suicide
Soul control, beat is the father of your rock'n'roll
Music for whatcha, for whichin',you call a band man
Makin' a music, abuse it, but you can't do it, you know
You call 'em demons, but we ride limos too
Whatcha gonna do ? Rap is not afraid of you
Beat is for sonny bond, beat is for Yoko Ono
Run - DMC First said a Dee Jay could be a band
Stand on it's own feet, get you out your seat
Beat is for Eric B. and L.L. as well, hell
Wax is for Anthrax, still it can rock bells ever forever
Universal it will sell
Time for me to exit, terminator x - it

[Chorus]

Turn it up ! Bring the noises !

[Verse 4]

From coast to coast, so you stop being like a comatose
Stand my man ? The beat's the same with a boost toast
Rock with some pizzazz, it will last, why you ask ?
Roll with the rock stars, you'll never get a accepted as
Don't need to wait, get the records straight
Hey Roses in effected, got flavor, Terminator
X to sign checks, play to get paid
We got to check it out down on the avenue
A magazine or two is dissing me and dissing you
Yeah, I'm telling you...




2. Only

Only

Everything is perfect
Everything is sick, that's it
You can't tell me to stop it
You can't tell me not to quit, that's it

Revolve around yourself
It's you and no one else
Hard for me to stay
Swinging moods that change
From calmness to deranged
Unpredictable, unpredictable

You would see if
Only
You hadn't taken things out of my hands
Only
You never wanted to understand

Clasing ways to live here
Compromise for me
I'm at both ends of the spectrum
You're somewhere in the between
Ah, come clean

Crucified, terrified, sacrifice, my whole life
If only...
I can't contain myself
I can't contain myself
I just can't take myself




3. Potters Field (HypoLuxa / HermesPan remix)

Potters Field

I was told to love you
I was told to try
I was born to save you
I was born to die
I'll always be your scapegoat
You'll never take the blame
You never had a chance
It was your soul to save
I am your one night nightmare
Pain is all you see
The blood is on your hands
I hope you're proud of me

I was told to love you
I learned how to hate
I was born to save you
Your choice became your fate
You can't take care of yourself
How could you care for me?
I am your retribution
When is my soul free?
I never asked for mercy
You told me to forgive
The blood is on your hands
I hope your proud of me
And what I've done to set you free
I can barely hold myself

Fascination, stimulation, stronger as I learn
By his hand, I understand
I was told to burn

Bastard son, your saving grace
Left alone I found my place
I find love in what I steal
You should of left me rest in Potters Field
I was told to.I was told to...

Your beliefs turned me into this
Bite the hand that feeds, you're so selfish
Thank you mother for giving me this life
I'll bring down the rapture
Then we'll see who lies




4. Ball Of Confusion

originally by the Temptations.

(Norman Whitfield/Barrett Strong)
submitted by Alexis Siemon
People moving out,
People moving in
Why, because of the color of their skin
Run, run, run but you sho' can't hide
An eye for an eye,tooth for a tooth,
Vote for me and I'll set you free
Rap on, brother, rap on
Well, the only person talking about love thy brother
Is the preacher
And it seems nobody's interested in learning
But the teacher
Segregation, determination, demonstration, integration,
Aggravation, humiliation, obligation to our nation
Ball of confusion, oh yeah
That's what the world is today, hey
The sale of pills are at an all time high
Young folks walking round with their heads in the sky
Cities aflame in the summertime, and oh
The beat goes on
Evolution, revolution, gun control, sound of soul
Shooting rockets to the moon
Kids growing up too soon
Politicians say more taxes, will solve everything
And the band played on
So, round and around and around we go
Where the world's headed, nobody knows
Oh, Great Googamooga, can't you hear me talking to you
Just a ball of confusion, oh yeah
That's what the world is today, ooh, yeah yeah
Fear in the air, tension everywhere
Unemployment rising fast, the Beatles' new record's a gas
And the only safe place to live, is on an Indian reservation
And the band played on
Eve of destruction, tax deduction
City inspectors, bill collectors
Mod clothes in demand,
Population out of hand,
Suicide, too many bills
Hippies moving to the hills
People all over the world are shouting end the war
And the band played on
Oh, Great Googamooga, can't you hear me talking to you
Sayin' ball of confusion,
That's what the world is today, hey
Let me hear ya,
Let me hear ya,
Let me hear ya,
Sayin' ball of confusion,
That's what the world is today, hey
Let me hear ya,
Let me hear ya,
Let me hear ya
...& fade




5. Crush

Crush

Now you see me, now you don't
Go before I am the goat
You get away with murder
Kill me when you're through
Do I have to give up me
To be loved by you
You get away with murder
What do I have to do
Do I have to give up me
To be loved by you

From the smallest taste I use
From the smallest taste I lose
Won't you crush on me

Pile your dead on top of me
Tape my eyes so I can't see

You get away with murder
Kill me when you're through
Do I have to give up me
To be loved by you
You get away with murder
What do I have to do
Do I have to give up me
To be loved by you

From the smallest taste I use
From the smallest taste I lose
Won't you crush on me

I've been waiting for today
I can't touch you when you're far away
Nothing makes me feel this way
Except hate but that fades away

From the smallest taste I use
From the smallest taste I lose

Won't you crush on me

I've been waiting for today
I can't touch you when you're far away
Nothing makes me feel this way
Except hate but that fades away




6. Room For One More

Room For One More

Fix the mental, as if that changes anything
Your heart is cured now, you're normal once again
One confession, you thought that's all it took
But redemption, doesn't let you off the hook

One of us
Can't erase the past to change who he would be
One of us
On a whim would act, then look for sympathy
Not from me

Hear me say...

One more
Chance to believe in
That you can even the score
One more
Place at the table
Always room for one more
Room for one more

Thing evil, is that just your normal gig
Fueled by hatred, happy as a stuffed pig
You're so lonely, everyone around you reeks
Of indifference, thriving in their apathy

Your schism, my distress
Your failure is my success
Squeezed out, kept me down
What goes around comes around
I can wait you out
Patience is my virtue
Call it payback, call it proper grounds
What goes around always comes around, always comes around




7. Inside Out

Inside Out

I thought I knew what provocation was
I thought I knew what provocation was
I've eaten from the insane root that imprisons reason

It's in my stomach like fire, like cancer
Like a knife I've been gunshot
I gotta let it go

Goddamn, nowhere place to be
Dying deep inside of me
Always standing on the inside looking out
Can't break a heart so strong with pride
It's more than just being alive
I broke the rule with you, I'm out

My only antidote to mental suffering
Is physical pain
I've eaten from the insane root that imprisons reason

It's in my stomach like fire
It's in my stomach like cancer
It's in my stomach like a knife
I've been gunshot
I gotta let it go

Goddamn, nowhere place to be
Dying deep inside of me
Always standing on the inside looking out
Can't break a heart so strong with pride
It's more than just being alive
I broke the rule with you, I'm out

Goddamn, nowhere place to be
Dying deep inside of me
Always standing on the inside looking out
Can't break a heart so strong with pride
It's more than just being alive
I broke the rule with you, I'm out, out, out

Goddamn, nowhere place to be
Dying deep inside of me
Always standing on the inside looking out
Can't break a heart so strong with pride
It's more than just being alive
I broke the rule with you, I'm out

Goddamn, nowhere place to be
Dying deep inside of me
Always standing on the inside looking out
Can't break a heart so strong with pride
It's more than just being alive
I broke the rule with you, I'm out, out, out, out, OUT!!




8. Hy Pro Glo (Hy Pro Luxa mix)

Hy Pro Glo

I...
Who, what, where, when, why,
How many ways can you lie
How many ways can you try
How many ways can you die

What am I gonna do
I can't look at you
What are you gonna do
You're no hypocrite

I bash my head against the wall everyday
You'd bash your head against the wall anyway
And then you'd turn around to see if I care
But I can't, and I never did
What'd you expect me to give
You never deserved my respect

How many ways can you try
It burns a hole inside my mind

What am I gonna do
I can't look at you
Can't look like you
I'm no hypocrite

What are you gonna do
You love to look at you
Don't have a clue
You're no hypocrite

You've hgot a hole inside that you have to feed
You've got a hole you'll use to get what you need
And then you look to see if I care
But I can't, and I never did
What'd you expect me to give
You never deserved my respect

You've got that look I wanna know
You've got that look, the hy pro glo




9. Fueled

Fueled

I'm out to mix it up and change my complexion
To coat the feelings and cure my depression
A shot of petrol is my bonafide method
To lose control and get thorougly distracted

I'm on the money, here I come
Fuel for my engine, and I'm gone

I like to forget why I feel this compulsive
As I toss tomorrow's dreams in the garbage
What's important is a mind that's sicker
Turning Jekyll into Hide much quicker

I'm on the money, here I come
Fuel for my engine, and I'm gone

1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4
Kickstart and turn me over
Punchdrunk, but I'm still sober
Fourteen years and a whole lot bolder
And I don't flinch
Hungry and I'll take the best
'Cause I never wanted anything less
What doesn't kill me makes me stronger

It's like a war inside me, I'm good, I'm evil
Two sides of the coin and I've been blessed with both
On one hand I am you, but I don't like you
I guess that's the nature of the way things work

I'm on the money, here I come
Fuel for my engine, and I'm gone

1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4
Kickstart and turn me over
Punchdrunk, but I'm still sober
Bukowski's on my shoulder
With much to think
Hungry and I'll take the best
'Cause I never wanted anything less
What doesn't kill makes me stronger
It's like a war inside me, action is all I know
Tell me it's suicide, tell me something I don't know

I don't know why I've been made some kind of hero
When I've done all I can do to prove I'm not
It's amazing to think someone could trust me
Tell me what do you know about me really ?
And I you make the mistake of getting close to,
Me, you'll just give me all that you've got
So I don't know why I've been made some kind of hero
When I've done all I can do to prove I'm not

1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4
Kickstart and turn me over
Punchdrunk, but I'm still sober
Fourteen years and a whole lot bolder
And I don't flinch
Hungry and I'll take the best
'Cause I never wanted anything less
What doesn't kill me makes me stronger

1,2,3,4,1 I can't close this broken door

It's just the nature of the way things work
You wanna be me, I don't give a damn
Anyone can do it but it takes a man not to
Try so hard to give me a real life
Anyone can do it but it takes a man not to
It's just the nature of the way things work




10. Among The Living

Among The Living

Disease, Disease
Spreading the disease
With some help from Captain Trips
He'll bring the world down to his knees
Power, yes Power
He'll show them all his power
It pulses through his ice cold blood
A whole world to devour

[PRE-CHORUS:]
He's seeing, He's calling
His legacy, He's spawning
He's coming, corrupting
Among the living

Murder, Murder
Commit cold blooded murder
Like Nazis during World War Two
They only follow orders
Hatred, Hatred
A crucifix is your bed
Once he turns his eye on you
You'd be better off dead

[REPEAT PRE-CHORUS]

[CHORUS:]
I am the walkin' dude
I can see all the world
Twist your minds with fear
I'm the man with power
Among the living
Follow me or die

Man, fights Man
Divided they can't stand
United they can battle back
And make him force his hand
Fear, yes Fear
His end is growing near
He didn't count on man's good faith
And their will to persevere

[REPEAT PRE-CHORUS]
[REPEAT CHORUS]

[LEAD BREAK]

Fire, hot Fire
Purge the world with fire
Damnation is the price he'll pay
For an evil man's desire
Good, vs. Evil
The stand to vanquish evil
Man can only live one way
That place right in the middle

[REPEAT PRE-CHORUS]
[REPEAT CHORUS]

AMONG




11. Got The Time

Got The Time

[Originally performed by Joe Jackson]

Wake up, got another day to get
Through now, got another man to see
Gotta call him on the telephone AY-O
Gotta find a piece of paper
Sit down, got another letter to write
Think hard, gotta get a letter just right
Little ringin' on the telephone oh no,
Gotta write another letter

No such thing as tomorrow
All we want, Two, three, go!
Time, got the time tick tick tickin' in my head
Time, got the time tick tick tickin' in my head
Time, got the time tick tick tickin' in my head
Tickin' in my head, tickin' in my head, tickin' in my head

If I, tell ya what I'm doing today
Will you, shut up and get out of my way
Someone ask me what the time is, I don't know
Only know I gotta know now
No time, tryin' ta get a watch repaired
No time, never got a thing to wear
Little ringin' on the telephone
Oh no, hear a ringin' in my head now




12. Indians

Indians

We all see black and white
When it comes to someone else's fight
No one ever gets involved
Apathy can never solve

[BRIDGE:]
FORCED OUT - Brave and mighty
STOLEN LAND - They can't fight it
HOLD ON - To pride and tradition
Even though they know how much their lives are really missin'
WE'RE DISSIN' THEM ...

[PRE-CHORUS:]
On reservation
A hopeless situation

Respect is something that you earn
Our Indian brother's getting burned
Original American
Turned into, second class citizen

[REPEAT BRIDGE]
[REPEAT PRE-CHORUS]

[CHORUS:]
Cry for the Indians
Die for the Indians
Cry for the Indians
Cry, Cry, Cry for the Indians

Love the land and fellow man
Peace is what we strive to have
Some folks have none of this
Hatred and prejudice

[REPEAT BRIDGE]
[REPEAT PRE-CHORUS]
[REPEAT CHORUS]

[MOSH PART]
[WARDANCE]
TERRITORY, It's just the body of the nation
The people that inhabit it make its configuration
PREJUDICE, Something we all can do without
Cause a flag of many colors is what this land's all about

[LEAD BREAK]

[REPEAT FIRST VERSE]
[REPEAT BRIDGE]
[REPEAT PRE-CHORUS]
[REPEAT CHORUS]




13. Antisocial

Antisocial

You're a train ride to no importance
You're in love with hell existence
Money is all that you desire
Why don't you pack it in and retire
It's common nature you can't fool me
I'm just the money that you can't let free
Rainy day genius clouds your mind
Don't you realize the blind lead the blind

You're anti, you're antisocial

Oh mister time will you ever unwind
Or just rebuild a new design
Your claim to fame is law and order
The rich get rich, the poor get poor
You put a price tag on what you see
This one's for you, that's for me
If that's winning I'd rather lose
Why don't you listen to my senseless views

You're anti, you're antisocial
How do you feel?

You're a train ride to no importance
You're in love with hell existence
Money is all that you desire
Why don't you pack it in and retire
It's common nature you can't fool me
I'm just the money that you can't let free
Rainy day genius clouds your mind
Don't you realize the blind lead the blind

You're anti, you're antisocial

ANTISOCIAL......




14. I'm The Man (edited version)

I'm The Man

"Now we're Anthrax and we take no shit
And we don't care for writing hits
The sound you hear is what we like
I'll steal your pop-tarts like I stole your..."
"Socks!"
"No man, what's the matter with you?"
"I'll get it the next time, I mean it..."

"Charlie, beat the beats, the beats you beat
The only thing harder's the smell of my feet
So listen up cuz you might get dissed
Go drain the lizard or take a..."
"Chair!"
"Damn...watch the beat!"

"I'm on your case, I'm in your face
Kick you and your father back in place
Step up sucker, understand
Don't you know, "

"I'm the man! I'm the man!
I'm so bad I should be in detention!
I'm the man!"

"Shut up!"

"We've got real def rythyms and fresh new jams
And ya think we got egos but we're just hams
Scott plays stickball and likes to skate
Frank is never on time he's always..."
"Sleeping!"
"Late!"

"Drink the drinks, the drinks they drank
I put my money in the bank
They cut their crack, they offer joints
We don't do drugs, do you get our..."
"Meaning!"
"Point! Point! Watch the beat!"

"I'm on your case, I'm in your face
Kick you and your father back in place
Step up sucker, understand
Don't you know,"

"I'm the man! I'm the man!
I'm bad! I'm so bad I should be in detention!
I'm the man!"

"Shut up!"

"For a heavy metal band raps a different way

"Sexual organ in the lower abdominal area!"
"No man, it's dicks!"

MASTER!

"Fart the farts, the farts he farted

And wipe my butt with your..."
"Face!"
"Toilet paper! Yo, watch the beat!"

"I'm on your case, I'm in your face
Kick you and your father back in place
Step up sucker, understand
Don't you know,"

"I'm the man! I'm the man!
I'm bad! I'm so bad I should be in detention!
I'm the man!"

"Shut up!"

"So, as this rap is winding down
It's plain to see we wear the crown
You know Anthrax is number one
But we don't care, we just wanna have..."
"A festival!"
"Fun you stupid idiot!"

"We are the kings that all shout hell
We're like a diamond that is forever
And will remain the hardest ever"

"I'm so bad, it's a crime"




15. Madhouse

Madhouse

White coats to bind me, out of control
I live alone inside my mind
World of confusion, air filled with noise
Who says that my life's such a crime?

Tapped, in this nightmare
I wish I'd wake
As my whole life begins to shake
four walls surround me
an empty gaze
I can't find my way out of this maze

Cause I don't care
Fall in, fall out
Gone without a doubt, help me
I can't take the blame
They don't feel the shame

It's a madhouse
Or so they claim
It's a madhouse
Oh, am I insane?

My fears behind me, what can I do
My dreams haunt my sleep at night
Oh no, won't learn their lesson, white fills my eyes
And only then they see the light




16. I Am The Law

I Am The Law

Fifteen years in the academy
He was like no cadet they'd ever seen
A man so hard, his veins bleed ice
And when he speaks he never says it twice
They call him Judge, his last name is Dredd
So break the law, and you may wind up dead
Truth and justice are what he's fighting for
Judge Dredd the man, he is the law
DROKK IT

With his gun and bike he rules the streets
And every perp he meets will taste defeat
Not even Death can overcome his might
Cause Dredd and Anderson, they won the fight
When the Sov's started the Apocalypse war
And Mega-city was bombed to the floor
Dredd resisted, and the judges fought back
And crushed the Sov's with their counter-attack
DROKK IT

[PRE-CHORUS:]
Respect the badge - he earned it with his blood
Fear the gun - your sentence may be death
because ...

[CHORUS:]
I AM THE LAW
And you won't fuck around no more - I AM THE LAW
I judge the rich, I judge the poor - I AM THE LAW
Commit a crime I'll lock the door - I AM THE LAW
Because in Mega-City ...
I AM THE LAW

In the cursed earth where mutants dwell
There is no law, it's just a living hell
Anarchy and chaos as the blood runs red
But this would change if it was up to Dredd
The book of law is the bible to him
And any crime committed is a sin
He keeps the peace whith his law-giver
Judge, jury, and executioner
DROKK IT

[REPEAT PRE-CHORUS]
[REPEAT CHORUS]

[BRIDGE:]
CRIME - the ultimate sin
Your Iso-Cube is waiting when he brings you in
LAW - it's what he stands for
Crime's his only enemy and he's going to war

[LEAD BREAK]

[REPEAT BRIDGE]
[REPEAT PRE-CHORUS]
[REPEAT CHORUS]
