7 Ply 01:36
I remember childhood back in the day, skating ramp and listening to JFA 7 ply’s of aggression, teenage rebellion I didn’t care about growing up or going to school I just wanted to bomb a hill or skate a pool 7 ply’s of aggression, teenage rebellion I look back on me and my friends the fun we had no cares in the world just me and my board I want it back 7 ply’s of aggression, teenage rebellion everyone around me says stop being a kid it time to grow up I say fuck that skate to live I’ll never stop

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.

baby, I don’t wanna make out, I just wanna circle pit
5.
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!
7.
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.
8.
8 Bit 00:38
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.
9.
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!
10.
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!

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!
13.
Dead Alive 00:54
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.

Fast, For, Ever! The timings off the feedback blasts, and I just wanna play it fast, I’m gonna Have a good time and enjoy it while it fucking lasts cuz……. Were not here to impress, we might need some more practice, you can criticize Us all u want, well be at a show if you need us Because this is what’s important to me, playing these songs and living happy, With energy, communicate, you don’t have to listen to what I say cuz……. Were not here to impress, we might need some more practice, you can criticize Us all you want, well be at a show if you need us! When were thru, it’s not done! Were just passing thru, there’s more to come! *Sometimes I find myself and others taking music too seriously. It happens. You’ve got to realize why your there in the first place. To have fun! Not to play perfect, impress, compete, or preach but to play fast, communicate your ideas and most importantly have fun, because were just another generation of kids playing hardcore and there’s many more to come!

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!

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.
