1. Intro
2. Thrashard
There's a gig
At 5th and Main
Gonna catch the bus
Or take the train
We'll steal or find
Or borrow cash
And we'll be there
Ready to thrash
The band kickes in
They begin to rage
No-man's land
In front of the stage
Poseurs in the bathroom
Still looking at their hair
Thrashers in the foreground
Doing what they dare
In the pit [5]
Thrashing and slamming
Like hell in the pit
Tomorrow they know
May not come
Banging and moshing
Like they don't give a shit
To the rapid beat
Of the drum
A boot to your forehead
A knee in your face
Your nose and lips
Start to bleed
Like a wild Indian
From outer space
Drunk and
High on weed
Guitar seems so fucking loud
People walking on the crowd
Diving off the P.A. stacks
Breaking ankles,necks and backs
Then the circle begins
In the thrashing pit
Fist are flying
People getting hit
Tooth chippers left and right
Skinheads in another fight
Banging heads and broken jaws
Because there are no laws
In the pit
Then you start thrashing
Like never before
Stagediving, headwalking like mad
Doing your thing
All over the floor
The best time that you've ever had
You are hurt all over
But can't feel a thing
Not until the next day
Then you wake up
Stiff as a board
And the pain won't go away
Another gig at 5th and Main
We'll catch the bus
Or take the train
We'll steal or find
Or borrow cash
And we'll be there
Ready to thrash
In the pit [5]
3. Acid Rain
Will our children look back
With hatred or despair
At a generation of idiots
Who just didn't care
About the fossil fuel fumes
And the aerosol sprays
That put holes in the ozone
And let in the rays
That can cause cancer in humans?
And what is it all worth
Heating up our globe
Destroying our own Earth?
What will they think
Of us with no concern
About the seas of shit
And radiation burn?
We who watched
The waters of the world
Turn to lakes of lava
Killing every form of life?
Will they have regrets
For being born at all
Into a world where only
Acid rain can fall
On all the empty fields
And on the vacant lots
Where cockroaches and crab grass
Are the only crops?
Acid rain dissolving away
The monuments of man
Run for your lives!
Acid rain
Smell the rain coming?
Acid rain
Run for cover now!
Acid rain
The water is on fire!
Acid rain
4. Mad Man
He's old and cranky and he's got white hair
He yells at us in his underwear
He'll attach you like a crazed bear
But come on in, don't be scared
Mad man, he'll kick down the door
Mad man, he'll call you a whore
Mad man, he'll brand you a slut
Mad man, he'll kick your butt!
You pay the bills, I live in your place
I'll do what you say for my dwelling space
I'll do your dishes, I'll wash the floor
Just please don't kick down our jam room door
Mad man, he'll kick down the door
Mad man, he'll call you a whore
Mad man, he'll brand you a slut
Mad man, he'll kick your butt!
You hit my friends and cut down blacks
Proves again what your mind lacks
You back the klan
I've got to
Change my nazi dad
Change my nazi dad
Change my nazi
5. Couch Slouch
Home from school and here to stay
I'll take it easy again today
Ain't gonna work, don't need no pay
Couch Slouch
Fuck Off
My mom don't like the way I live
She says I take but I don't give
My dad can't stand the way I am
He says, "Damn it, just get up man"
Couch Slouch
You Suck
Awaken now and then to eat and shit
Don't go outside 'cause I don't fit
Society's not ready for me
Crazy assholes never will be
6. Argument Then War
Argument then war
Even the score
Retaliate, revenge
The will to win
Man can't be wrong
Man can never get along
Man wants to fight
Man wants to be right
Man wants to kill
Man will
Argument then war
Even the score
Retaliate, revenge
The will to win
Man can't be wrong
Man can never get along
Man lives in the past
Civilized trash
Man hates himself
Poisons himself
He is his own disease
Committing slow suicide
7. The Application
8. I Don't Need Society
Your numbers up you have to go
The system say's "I told you so"
Stocked in a train like a truckload of cattle
Sent off to slaughter in a useless battle
Thousands of us sent off to die
Never really knowing why
Fuck the system they can have me
I don't need society
I don't need society
Before you know it you're in he corp
Grab your gear boy you're off to war
Stocked in a train like a truckload of cattle
Sent off to slaughter in a useless battle
Thousands of us sent off to die
Never really knowing why
Fuck the system they can have me
I don't need society
I don't need society
You were an apple pie clone living at home
Never straying to far from your phone
Now son make it through enemy lines
You must hurry there's not much time
Made it sir. They're gonna drop the bomb
No time to evacuate, they'll call our moms
Fuck the system, they can't have me
I don't need society
I don't need society
9. Hardball
10. Violent Pacification
Forces united the choice is yours
Violent pacification
Forces united the choice is yours
Violent pacification
We'll force you to be nice to each other
Kill you before you kill each other
Violent pacification
We'll force you to be nice to each other
Kill you before you kill each other

14. You Say I'm Scum
