Late Night Skate
01:20
|
|||
GO!
home from work I’m late again
my heads a fucking mess,
sometimes I find it hard to cope
I gotta skate and its no joke
late night skate, thrash it up!
late night skate, drink ‘em down!
GO!
grab a beer and grab your board,
I’m home from work back out the door,
I got my board, my band, my friends,
that’s where its at were true till death!
late night skate, thrash it up!
late night skate, drink ‘em down!
let’s fucking go!
*Nothing like a late night skate session after work with all your friends. Good times…..

Can't Relate
01:03
|
|||
GO!
refuse to believe that this is it,
is this the reason why I exist?
stuck on repeat, wanna fall asleep
where’s my house my wife and kids,
I’m not greedy I just wanna live
I’m not sorry, but I can’t relate
bills to feed, mouths to pay,
jewel was right, but I have to say…………
don’t have the answers don’t get me wrong
but you know it kills me to see it kill us all
stuck in traffic, feel so inadequate
now I’m sorry but I cant fucking relate
*I can’t relate to making my life a work, sleep, pay bills situation, as much as it seems unavoidable. Getting married and having 2.5 kids when I’m 25, before I even know myself just doesn’t seem imaginable……and yes, I did quote a jewel song.

Pit trilogy
01:35
|
|||
I don’t wanna sit and talk
and I don’t wanna play baseball
I don’t wanna hear the score,
all that shit is such a bore
I wanna hear the music fast
I wanna jump and yell and thrash
and then I’m gonna take a break
and go back for a second take
I just wanna circle pit!
well I don’t wanna go to church
and I don’t wanna hear your lies
blind me with your fucking crosses,
blind by greed and dollar signs
I just wanna circle pit!
circle pits and horror flicks,
and b movies and skateboard decks
life is short, thrash real hard
your friends will help you off the floor

Theme Song
01:07
|
|||
yeah were all friends, when were in the pit
got the same goals, same ideas,
we know what’s right hardcore to goth, punk, rock n roll even emo kids, yeah they cry but, hey, it’s all right
don’t make me say unity,
you’ve heard it all before
somehow the meanings lost,
and left to die on the floor
we have a common enemy
your not fooling anyone but your fucking self
*How many more songs must bands write about the kids getting along no matter what music we like, or what race or sex they are? All the cries go unanswered, sometimes it seems. Don’t make me say unity!

Note To Self...Shut Up
01:11
|
|||
too many thoughts my minds a mess,
over analyze in my head
pen and paper in my brain
the second guesses drive me insane
note to self, shut up!
my brains online frayed at both ends,
traffic jam inside my head
treading water to get by
and all the time I’m wondering why
note to self, shut up!
and everyday, the fuse is getting shorter
and everyday life has me in order
and everyday I’m getting closer to death,
everyday is my chance!
note to self, shut up!
*The problems and stress of everyday can kill you, over analyzing it will only make it worse.

|
|||
tetris, duck hunt, excite bike,
I remember those long nights
8 bit armageddon
outta my way, I’m up next
I gotta save the fucking princess
8 bit, Armageddon
N! E! S!
gritting teeth and my hands hurt,
my eyes are strained one more level wont hurt?
*Brush the dust off that old Atari, and N.E.S.

Build Ramps, Not Bombs
01:12
|
|||
build ramps, not bombs!
tear down the factories that create the weapons,
replace them with halfpipes and crazy sick sessions
build ramps, not bombs!
tired of living, in your world of shit,
I’d rather thrash, do something fun with it!
build ramps, not bombs!
doing what it takes to get thru my fucking day,
pave over and build on top of what makes this world decay,
history left a playground of concrete for us to shred,
so grab your fucking board and lets have a blast!
build ramps, not bombs!

Slash The Coping
00:37
|
|||
into your backyard, from over your fence
calling the police wouldn’t make much sense
slash the coping
the water is drained,
so we can skate
looks like the police showed up a little too late
slash the coping,
then we split,
slash the coping
it’s a pool attack!

Punks Dead, You're Next!
01:09
|

it’s not what u think it is, just another phase, I’m getting older every day and I still feel the same, wasn’t here in your heyday that’s not what its about, get up front that’s all there is the time is fucking now mainstream, rules, and ignorant kids have ruined it fucking all, punk rock is on life support and I just wont let it fall punks dead, you’re killing it, your next, ill see to it its not what u think it is, just another phase, I’m getting older everyday and I still feel the same, wasn’t here in your heyday that’s not what its about, get up front that’s all there is the time is fucking now! its not about the T shirts, stop wasting your fucking time, its not really worth it
*Sometimes I find myself wondering why I am still involved in music, and the scene, etc…. all the while some of the older crowd saying “it’s not what it used to be.” Kids in it for the T shirt slogans, and the whole punk going “mainstream” thing, being sold back a clean version of our own rebellion, music, and beliefs. Kids ruining venues, etc….. All that matters is that you’re here right now, and involved. Get in the pit! That one awesome show can make ALL the difference!!!!

The Argument
00:52
|
|||
I could write this ballad a million fucking times,
but when I see your face it makes me lose my fucking mind,
to think of all the stress you bring it makes me want to kill,
you gave me all the confidence in the world,
now you make me feel like shit
I feel like I’m at war, it’s the same argument,
get out of my fucking face, just let me leave this mess
my heart is in a cocktail, I’m gonna light the fuse,
get out of my fucking face before I vomit on your shoes
I feel like I’m at war it’s the same argument,
get out of my fucking face, just let me leave this mess!
now its over!
This time I’m serious!
Why do we put ourselves? Thru such shit!
*Sometimes being in a relationship can just plain suck!

Dead Alive

Dead Alive!
rat monkey bit into her arm,
now she’s dead but she’s not gone
they put her in the cemetery, thought she was dead and buried
now they’re dead, dead alive, you cant stop them, but you can try
now they’re dead, dead alive,
they’ll just kill and multiply
Lionel’s mom ate Bakita’s dog, dead and rotting still alive she got the nurse and then the priest, now she needs more flesh to feast
now they’re dead, dead alive,
you can’t stop them but you can try
now they’re dead, dead alive, they’ll just kill and multiply surrounded by zombies, straps the mower on, guts and limbs are everywhere,
blood splats on the wall, cuts them up one by one,
he wont stop until he’s done, wont stop until he’s done………..
Dead alive!
they’re all fucking dead!
*Go see this movie!!! My tribute to Pete Jackson for making the best and goriest horror movie ever.

Paralyzed
01:08
|

couple parked in a car, up on skyline drive,
wanted to make out,
picked the wrong fucking night
paralyzed by the dashboard light
madman in the shadows all whacked out on speed,
comes across the lovers wants to make them bleed
paralyzed by the dashboard light
they were barely 17 and they were barely dressed,
when they find them tomorrow they’ll be a bloody mess!
Too cheap to get a hotel room
now they’re in a world of shit!

Prayer For Profit
01:34
|
|||
see the preacher on TV,
he is telling lies to me
he says my soul will be set free
as long as I pay a nominal fee
evangelists with dollar signs in their eyes,
speak the word of god, they’re telling lies,
they’re ripping off, the elderly,
its prayer for profit, on your TV
believe in god and the word he speaks,
empty your pockets at least once a week,
collection plate comes better make a donation
pay thru your teeth for eternal salvation
evangelists with dollar signs in they’re eyes,
speak the word of god, they’re telling lies,
they’re ripping off, the elderly,
its prayer for profit, on your TV
make your checks to Jesus Christ,
installment plan for the afterlife
jesus saves all those who ask
as long as u have got the cash

Wheelbite!
01:46
|
|||
Seems like it was over, right after it began,
I had it fucking figured out
And now I’m pounding sand
Wheelbite! It always never seems to fail
Wheelbite! Drag my feet thru the gravel
What happened? Another dead end?
Torn between my options and the walls are closing in
Wheelbite! It always never seems to fail
Wheelbite! Drag my feet thru the gravel
I can't seem to get out of this, make me want to kill
Stuck here in this don’t move my minds like a padded cell
Can't get ahead stuck here fuck this I’m running out of time
I can't seem to get out of this and this life is mine!
This life is mine!
If this is a test, and only a test, I know the fucking answers but
I can't
Fill out the rest, and maybe,
I complain a bit too much, but I’m not
Gonna waste my time and dig myself a rut
*Ever feel like you just climbed another wall in your life just to turn around and run right into the next one? Kind of like running over a rock on your skateboard and getting a face full of gravel.
