Lyrics
Last Decade Dead Century
I See the Ruins
I am the child of the new generation
The product of total frustration
Lost in the void of the social soup
Yesterday's plans went away
I saw ya standing there cold
So I picked up on the usual topic
I feel the pain of a thousand wars
I got no problems man
I got no problems man
I got no problems man
I live in TV land
I'm an electronic image
Beamin' out to you
I see the the ruins
I know we're losin'
We love our weapons
Blown into heaven
We're out of time
We're out of mind
Completely blind to nature's sign
And we got nothing
Wasted in prison
A bad decision
You run to nowhere
You're blown forever
We stand confused
On hard times
Can't break away
From our crimes
This is the world
You have no choice
Now we're gone
We play the fools
We break the rules
We rape the earth, a blinded purge
And we got nothin'
Hate is a fire
It does not tire
You run to nowhere
You're blown forever
We stand confused
On hard times
Can't break away
From our crimes
This is the world
You have no choice
Now we're gone
I see the ruins
I know we're losin'
We walk the wasteland
Stripped down from God's hand
We live confused
Completely used
I love you
Wasted
We Cry Out
People hear what I say
Child nation she’s blown away
Bravery is our distinction
Goodbye rock generation
Goodbye
Become one and you know
We will live through
The show
When our world is dead
Questions rock your head
When all boundaries die, Lord
All men realize
We cry out
Rock culture
We cry out
Rock culture
(And the words of truth go by)
War child
Baby we live hard
Finally know
How strong we are
Oh, yeah
Dying leaders
You can stay at home
Our new culture
Stands on its own
On our own
Become one and you know
We will live through the show
When our world is dead
Questions rock your head
When all boundaries die, Lord
All men realize
We cry out
Rock culture
(Can you hear me)
We cry out
Rock culture
(And I know we’re out there)
We cry out
Rock culture
We cry out
Your future
We cry out
Rock cult
Rock cult
Rock culture
The Losers
Have you ever wanted
To be someone you're not
But you look into the world
And you see what you've got
There's nothin' there
But brains and guts
Finally open the door
And then it shuts
Look to the center
And I think you'll find
The people that are gettin'
They are blind
You changed the channel
And there's nothin' there
You weren't born pretty
And it isn't fair...
Here's to the losers
The substance abusers
To the rejects
All the imperfects
'Cause I think we're beautiful
'Cause I think we're beautiful
'Cause I think we're beautiful
No matter what anyone says
I think we're beautiful
The most beautiful
In the world
You try for jobs
But they say you're strange
You're sportin' a style
That they call pain
So you get in trouble
And your brain is gone
You're cryin' out man
But the words are wrong
Here's to the losers
The substance abusers
To the rejects
All the imperfects
'Cause I think we're beautiful
'Cause I think we're beautiful
'Cause I think we're beautiful
No matter what anyone says
I think we're beautiful
The most beautiful
In the world
I know you're tired
Of bein' put down
And all the crap that's said in town
But you're the person that matters most
I raise my glass, and make a toast
Here's to the losers
The substance abusers
To the rejects
All the imperfects
To the retarded
And the broken-hearted
To the starving masses
And the lower classes
'Cause I think we're beautiful
'Cause I think we're beautiful
'Cause I think we're beautiful
No matter what anyone says
I think we're beautiful...
Downtown
I’ve been out all night
Think I got in a fight
There’s a hole in my arm
My bitch is alarmed
I was at the bar
Where I’m a superstar
Livin’ on free drinks
Hey man, your band stinks
That’s the way we live
Downtown
Our feet never hit the
Ground
Ground
Ground
Ground, yeah!
’Cause I hate my mother
I hate the world
I told my father
Some more bull
I hate the system
And I break the law
But I’m at home
When I’m downtown
It’s Saturday night
My boys are wound up tight
Slip on a skin
Put the sucker in
5 minutes to go
Ya got a Marlboro
Bust in some joint
Maybe find some points
That’s the way we live
Downtown
Our feet never hit the
Ground
Ground
Ground
Ground, yeah!
’Cause I hate my mother
I hate the world
I told my father
Some more bull
I hate the system
And I break the law
But I’m at home
When I’m downtown
I came, I conquered–
Escaped the slaughter
I live undaunted
Let me take you with me
I think you’ll dig the scene
’Cause
Ya hate your mother
Ya hate the world
Ya told your father
Some more bull
You hate the system
And you break the law
But you’ll be at home
Come on downtown
That’s the way we live–
Downtown
I’ll be seein’ ya
Around
Round
Round
Round, yeah!
’Cause I hate my mother
I hate the world
I told my father
Some more bull
I hate the system
And I break the law
But I’m at home when I’m
Downtown
Downtown
Downtown
Downtown
Downtown...
Trippin' On Ecstacy
No more pain
I'm almost there
I'm a cellophane pioneer
I'm ridin' hard
I'm takin' off
You look so pretty when you're near
M.D.M.A
Trippin' on ecstacy
Trippin' on ecstacy
Now I'm free
My planet's dead
And I'm the king
I'm in love with everything
I'm losing weight
My mind's a wreck
But I'm in touch with my feelings
M.D.M.A
Trippin' on ecstacy
Trippin' on ecstacy
I'm trippin' on ecstacy
I'm trippin' on ecstacy
Now I'm free
No one can catch me
Look at me again
I can see again
Look at me again
I can see again
Hit the mother lode
Drop two more hits
I'm on a power drive
I don't get sick
I can touch the sky
No one knows I'm alive
M.D.M.A Trippin' on ecstacy
Trippin' on ecstacy
I'm trippin' on ecstacy
I'm trippin' on ecstacy
Now I'm free
Look at me again
I can see again
I'm out there again man

Superpower Dreamland
We come through the windows
We bust down the door
We cut through the ceilings
And pop up from the floor
The children are angry
And they come pouring in
Were searchin' for justice
From our governments
In every face in this place
I see trouble
In every face in this place
I see trouble
Let's rumble
We tear down the paintings
We tear down the sculpture
You call it destruction
Yeah, but that's what ya taught us
Busted dreamland
The country rots
This is your pay back
For three trillion bucks
In every face in this place
I see trouble
In every face in this place
I see trouble
If any pigs outside
Do not hide we will rumble
In every face in this place
I see trouble
Let's rumble
Superpower dreamland
Superpower dreamland
Superpower dreamland
Superpower dreamland...
It's a superpower dreamland
You're livin' in a dreamland
A superpower dreamland
A superpower dreamland
Charlie's Out Of Prison
In Detroit, there's a man
He's in charge of the action
Put a gun, in your face
And he gets a reaction
Has a beeper, and a car
I was his driver Runnin' drugs,
across the country
I was the survivor
I'm innocent, of anything
I'm innocent, but he's comin'
Charlie's out of prison
Charlie's out of prison
Charlie's out of prison
In Detroit, they make guns
Lotsa cars, lotsa criminals
You get big, you get hard
But you don't get too successful
Small time world, small time racket
Push yourself to the brink
Just to sell another packet
I'm innocent, of anything
I'm innocent, but he's comin'
Charlie's out of prison
Charlie's out of prison
Charlie's out of prison
Broken doors, broken windows
Broken reason, of my mind
Weakened by, desperation,
The seduction of crime
Meaning of death, means nothing,
When you need to survive
Caught believing, in life,
A flash in eternal time
Yeah
Yeah
Charlie's out of prison
Blown Away
The cash flows out
The drugs roll in
The nations rage
While the children sin
Officials addicted to dough
The bankers grin
But we all know
They can't stop it
'Cause they're linin'
Their pockets
We're blown away
In the U.S.A.
We're blown away
Every single day
They can't stop it
'Cause they're buyin'
Their rockets
We're blown away
In the U.S.A.
We're blown away
Every single day
Can you dig it
Yeah
Overseas
They love our green
Keep us happy
With your little machines
We live on credit
We live on dope
There's no promises
When you're livin' on hope
We're blown away
In the U.S.A.
We're blown away
Every single day
Kiss the sunshine
We're blown away
In the U.S.A.
We're blown away
In the U.S.A.
We're blown away
Every single day
Oh ho yeah
Kiss the sunshine
Goodbye
Lullaby
Go to sleep
In my arms
A soul to keep
From all harm
I lie awake
In a crystal calm
Your face so sweet
Till the end of time
A lullaby
Makes ya feel better
The world's all but died
But we're together
A lullaby
Makes ya feel better
The hatred outside, really
Doesn't, really doesn't matter...
Go to sleep
My baby
Go to sleep
Right next to me
You found the way
From what you've lost
The pain is great
As you pay the cost
A lullaby
Makes ya feel better
The world's all but died
But we're together
A lullaby
Makes ya feel better
The hatred outside, really Doesn't,
really doesn't matter...
A lullaby
Makes ya feel better
The world's all but died
But we're together
A lullaby
Makes ya feel better
The hatred outside, really
Doesn't, really doesn't matter...
It doesn't matter

In Conclusion
In conclusion
Say a prayer for us
We must say goodbye
If we meet again
Please remember
Why we say goodnight
Take good care now
All earth's children
Learn from wisdom's cry
Hear the unspoken
See without sight
Learn yourself inside
Media children pacified
Information classified
Governments hide behind religion
Kids like us get thrown in prison
We come to
We come to
We come to our own conclusions
(Repeat)
In conclusion
Please be wary
Where authority reigns
Control tightens
As we sleep
A false security
All our leaders
Answer to silent bosses
Where profit fills their greed
Think before action
Learn before acceptance
Decide what you should be
Media children pacified
Crosses stand where the dead men died
Governments hide behind religion
Kids like us get thrown in prison
We come to
We come to
We come to our own conclusions
(Repeat three times)
Say a prayer for us
That we don't lose
Our way
While freedom lies
There dying
We are there to hold
Its hand
Take all the children holy
To the river of the dead
Make them drink its waters
Lonely so they can learn what we had
Media children pacified
Information classified
Governments hide behind religion
Kids like us get thrown in prison
We come to
We come to
We come to our own conclusions
(Repeat three times)
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye...Freedom
Goodbye

Interzone
Written by Joy Division
Drugs, God and the New Republic
population psych-out someone
feed ’em flies and death and sex
to hide their dead world
softly singing through memories
of truth killing is our business
cash for the cruel
drugs, god and the new republic
drugs, god and the new republic
boards use capital gains
lie on our government trust
to pay off corporate mistakes
statues of lincoln cry disciples
eternal now i’m dead let the
frequency phase out
drugs, god and the new republic
drugs, god and the new republic
drugs, god and the new republic
drugs, god and the new republic
cosmic fire dropouts
gasoline injectors
sonic prophets screaming right on
standing at the crossroads
showered in cast stones
the truth there will be known
as we kick the king right off his throne
i’m the anti, anti king
i’m the anti, anti king
i’m the anti, anti king
i’m the anti, anti king
The Answer
plastic leaders seem like insects
tortured cities lost beyond
pleasure films of landscapes dying
dirt on royal gowns
(get down!)
the man said to cop religion
alls i want is peace
he said this was the land of freedom
but it’s not for me
but i found the answers
but i found the answers
yeah to the problems
they’re in my head man
destroy the system
heavy metal fire fading
lost again until the dawn
psychedelic friction healing
statues carved from gods
searching for our true believers
please count me as one
but you know i can’t be your savior
’cause i need my own
but i found the answer
but i found the answers
yeah to the problems
they’re in my head man
kill the administration
heavy metal fire fading
lost again until the dawn
little sister she’s been saying
plastic prayers to god
(get down!)
heavy metal fire fading
lost again until the dawn
little sister she’s been saying
plastic prayers to god
(get down!)
find the answers
yeah to your problems
find the answers
yeah to your problems
i’ve laid down lord
i’ve laid down lord
Rocket 88
my power got the cut off
i can’t afford a phone
but you know that i’m electric
when i go out alone
you’re comin’ on like nitrous
you’re loaded to the bone
you’re looking like a princess
and now i’m sliding home
my eyeballs are burnin’
i got a heat rash
once i blast off you know i’m
burnin’ all my gas
’cause i’m a rocket
rocket 88
’cause i’m a rocket
rocket 88
livin’ in the city
the city is my home
ya know i dig the chickees
ya know i like to bone
’cause i’m a rocket
rocket 88
’cause i’m a rocket
rocket 88
Jump For Joy
needle boys in the park
rotten cops after dark
politicians underground
no light can be found
all the pimps all the whores
all demented religious wars
evangelist so corrupt
arm out palm up
jump for joy
oh jump for joy
worlds end
all the oil that you pump
my world’s a garbage dump
land developed by the pigs
you consume everything
bronze iron turn to steel
eat your plastic at every meal
drink the water then you choke
your bank account you’re broke
jump for joy
oh jump for joy
worlds end
jump for joy
oh jump for joy
worlds end
populations multiply
there are holes in the sky
tv man shit on you
you love to be screwed
packaging maniac
guaranteed money back
a no-money superstar
the u.s. on credit cards
jump for joy
oh jump for joy
worlds end
jump for joy
oh jump for joy
worlds end
silence descends as i walk astray
god please keep me straight just one more day
times are bad i hurt what can i do
i just need some time alone with you
here we are back again
we have come to the end
no use for you to cry
things are born then they die
for man i shed no tears
i hear the sorrow in your cheers
scientific promises
now we pay for what we did
jump for joy
oh jump for joy
worlds end
oh jump for joy
worlds end
worlds end
worlds end
worlds end
worlds...end
My Time
violence killin’ my world
silence from all the girls
fired...the boss is a prick
tired...the nation is sick
I’m exploading
yeah I’m rejoicing ’cause
this is my time
medicine on line
plastic sunshine
the pleasure’s all mine
hated ’cause I live rock-n-roll
bankers love the money they stole
gassed out on yesterday’s dream
no one brother is blowin’ my scene
I’m exploading
yeah I’m rejoicing ’cause
this is my time
plastic sunshine
medicine on line
I’m exploading
yeah I'm rejoicing 'cause
this is my time
medicine on line

If you want to rock

'Cause I'm the real thing
come on down, and get the real thing
I'm the real thing
come on down, and get the real thing
I push the law and I push the mind
our government well I like to criticize
You shot me down but yet I survived
never got nothin' in this life
without a fight
and that's right
Push me down
'cause I want truth
I'll keep on hittin'
till I get through
'Cause I'm the real thing
come on down, and get the real thing
I'm the real thing

come on down, and get the real thing
I'm the real thing
ya come on down
I'm the real thing

Man Must Live as One
Coming down from 2.000 years
elements deep inside me
Eternal man conflict finds the tears
wars opposite is understanding
Man must live, live as one
man must live, live as one
The human war has just begun
man must live, live as one
Boundaries change and boundaries kill
the dead in fields all around me
Deified heroes in the hills
told me they died to let us live free
Man must live, live as one
man must live, live as one
The human war has just begun
man must live, live as one
People run from a world in danger
many consumed by their fear and anger
Say a prayer for all our nations
that we will live through our confrontations
Man must live, live as one
man must live, live as one
The human war has just begun
man must live, live as one
Man must live, live as one
man must live, live as one
Together until the dawn
man must live, live as one
Man must live as one
Hero
Hey, hey boys won't you hold the line
we've been down here a long, long time
Big wheels turnin' I don't know why
I stand here to defy
Hey, hey boys bravery on my mind
my head's been splittin' from this 9 to 5
When the grind knocks me to my feet
these are the words that I repeat, now
I'll be a hero in my own time
I'll be a hero in my own time
If I stand I know I'll shine
I'll be a hero in my own, in my own time
Hey, hey boys workin' on the line
we work metal to survive
But day to day pressure on my soul
I have to scream when it's out of control, now
I'll be a hero in my own time
I'll be a hero in my own time
If I stand I know I'll shine
I'll be a hero in my own, in my own time
Hey, hey boys hear the whistle blow
a hard day's done and it's time to go
As i walk out to the street
crack a beer and my mind repeats, now
I'll be a hero in my own time
I'll be a hero in my own time
If I stand I know I'll shine
I'll be a hero in my own, in my own time
I'll be a hero
in my own time
I'll be a hero
in my own time
I'll be a hero
I'll be a hero
I'll be a hero
I'll be a hero in my own time
The Wasteland
Detroit got stupid it was time to blow
I can't dig people when they play control
I rocked to Manhattan and what'd I see
some great big buildings that could set me free
The bars ars open all night
but that damn aids test got me so uptight
I said that damn aids test got me so uptight
pay your money to the landlord
Donald Trump is just a money whore
under my bed there's a baseball bat
the goddamn taxes gonna break my back
I'm in the wasteland
I'm in the wasteland
I'm in the wasteland
I'm in the wasteland
I'm in the wasteland, mama
you know it's true
no motherfucker's gonna tell me what to do
I'm in the wasteland
The gangs are doin' drive by's in L.A.
Quinn is drillin' ink and we're gettin' laid
your shotgun cops are goin' to hell
L.A.P.D.’s got an awful smell
In Hollywood the scene's all there
tommies always got the drugs to go on a bender
everytime I go I never wanna come back
breathe the summer air, you'll have a heart attack
You're in the wasteland
you're in the wasteland
you're in the wasteland
you're in the wasteland
You don't buy what the government sells
the goddamn president can go to hell
You're in the wasteland
I can't live unless I'm free
you've gotta run to stay with me
I move from town to town
I’m livin' on the underground
Hey baby come with me
I meet a lot of good company
To beat the system move around
It's the only way to freedom today
find the freedom today
If I make bail tell you where I'll go
gonna cross the border into Mexico
Tequila's cheap as sunshine
wind up bangin' everything in sight
I am free and that's a fact
once I leave I ain't never comin' back
I'm in the wasteland
Children of the Winter
This fight's for you and me
in the land of the free
the rock minority
against hypocrisy
They crucify our words
but they don't understand
we want a better world
and a share of our land
They point at us
but we're their children
We fight because
they taught us to be free
The land where our fathers died
the land of the pilgrims pride
Forced us to decide
if we stand or if we hide
Believe in me
we'll fight forever
Until we're free
we'll fight together
Oh, ya come down
Children of the winter
walk into the springtime
The fathers fought a revolution
a fight for what we all believe in
Our rights sown there's no confusion
I don't need to be forgiven
To be forgiven
The land where our fathers died
the land of the pilgrims pride
My hatred I can't hide
I'll kill before they take my rights
Come walk with me
we'll go to heaven
The world will be
our dream together
Come take my hand
rejoice forever
The promised land
if we remember
Children of the winter
walk into the springtime
