Welfare Problems
A knock on the door, declaration of war -- That's a government setup
We're taking over to the sound of guitars -- That's a government setup
Wrong is made right, tables are turned -- That's a government setup
Cos I'm here to teach and they've gotta learn -- That's a government setup
Burning tires, building bombs, throwing bricks
So it goes when the kids are sick of your dirty tricks
Power in the hands of those rich enough to buy it -- That's a government setup
We're taking it back with the musical riot -- that's a government setup
Burning tires, building bombs, throwing bricks
So it goes when the kids are sick of your dirty tricks
Hope I'm dead before I'm old -- Dirty tricks
Things aren't going very well -- Dirty tricks
Honey, you and me are being bought and sold -- Dirty tricks
I knew I was in trouble, didn't know I was in hell -- Dirty tricks
Dirty tricks
Dirty tricks
Burning tires, building bombs, throwing bricks
So it goes when the kids are sick of your dirty tricks
Dirty business, dirty deeds & dirty politics
Had enough, the kids are sick of your dirty tricks
Policemen comin' with is pistol
Policemen comin' with is gun
Policemen comin' with is pistol
Policemen comin' with is gun
Policemen's always on the run
Police, police
Don't it me please
Police, police
Don't it me please
I guess you wanna see the look on my face when you smash it
I guess you wanna see the damage you do when you bash it
You don't like no black mask mister
You don't like folks of our kind
You don't care about us brothers & sisters
You don't care about the reason behind
ACAB meant nothing to me
Until I saw this program about it on T.V.
I hate a man in uniform -- Wo! Oh!
I hate a man in uniform -- Oh! Oh! Wo!
I hate a man in uniform -- Wo! Oh!
I hate a man in u...
U U U U Uniform
U U U U Uniform
U U U U Uniform
U U U U Uniform
I guess you want to see the look on my eyes when you beat me
I guess you think that your truncheon hit can defeat me
Well, bring on dogs & artillery
You can kill a man but not his ideas
You never cared about the little man yet
That's why we fight the power every chance that we get
Defenders of the power structures
Justified violence blackjack fractures
I hate a man in uniform -- Wo! Oh!
I hate a man in uniform -- Oh! Oh! Wo!
I hate a man in uniform -- Wo! Oh!
I hate a man in u...
Oh! It ain't no secret
Oh! It ain't no lie
Oh! It ain't no secret
Oh! Proudly we die
I hate a man in uniform -- Wo! Oh!
I hate a man in uniform -- Oh! Oh! Wo!
I hate a man in uniform -- Wo! Oh!
I hate a man in uniform -- Oh! Oh! Wo!
U U U U Uniform -- I hate a man in uniform -- Wo! Oh!
U U U U Uniform -- I hate a man in uniform -- Oh! Oh! Wo!
U U U U Uniform -- I hate a man in uniform -- Wo! Oh!
U U U U Uniform -- I hate a man in u...
You got mouth, you got talk
You got feet and you have got the walk
It won't last
You're going nowhere fast
You got the looks, you got the eyes
I can see right through your lies
I can't miss
And now it's come to this
Bad, bad, I know that it's bad,
What's making you happy is driving me mad, mad, mad, mad
I wanna scream & shout but I count to ten
I show myself out though I never been in
I give up -- I give up
I give in -- I give in
I just can't win
Like so many, controlled by the few, you know
Being free is being told what to do
It's true
One of them's you
No river deep, no mountain too high
There is nothing that monet can't buy
How you sow you shall reap
And it won't be cheap
Bad, bad, I know that it's bad,
What's making you happy is driving me mad, mad, mad, mad
I wanna scream & shout but I count to ten
I show myself out though I never been in
I give up -- I give up
I give in -- I give in
I just can't win
Feeling upset, feeling uptight
Still I ain't gonna start a riot tonight
I give up -- I give up
I give in -- I give in
I just can't win
Bad, bad, I know that it's bad,
What's making you happy is driving me mad, mad, mad, mad
I wanna scream & shout but I count to ten
I show myself out though I never been in
I give up -- I give up
I give in -- I give in
I just can't win
Feeling upset, feeling uptight
I ain't gonna start a riot tonight
I give up -- I give up
I give up -- I give up
I give in -- I give in
I give up -- I give up
I give in -- I give in
I give up -- I give up
I give in -- I give in
We're All Fucked Up More Or Less
Now bad is good and good is bad
Then I was happy now I'm sad
Don't know what's real or in my head, ah
Don't know if I'm alive or if I'm dead
Big bad boys that aim for the sun
Raise you glass honey might as well have fun
We're going down, down, down, down, down in a mess -- Down, down, down
Cos we're all fucked up more or less
Down, down, down, down, down in a mess -- Down, down, down
Cos we're all fucked up more or less -- Down, down, down
Cos we're all fucked up more or less
Good is bad
Bad is good, good is bad
Bad, bad, good, good, bad
Now good is bad and bad is good
Don't know what I would, could or should
Still blood-red but feeling blue, ah
In armageddon 2002
Big bad boys that aim for the sun
Raise you glass honey might as well have fun
We're going down, down, down, down, down in a mess -- Down, down, down
Cause we're all fucked up more or less
We're going down, down, down, down, down in a mess -- Down, down, down
Cos we're all fucked up more or less -- Down, down, down
We're going down, down, down, down, down in a mess -- Down, down, down
Cos we're all fucked up more or less -- Down, down, down
We're going down, down, ??? -- Down, down, down
Cos we're all fucked up more or less -- Down, down, down
Cos we're all fucked up more or less -- Down, down, down
Cos we're all fucked up more or less -- Down, down, down
Cos we're all fucked up more or less
Yeah! Yeah!
New suit
New shoes
Aftershave & gin & juice
Brand new
Tattoo
On my chest it says, ”I love you”
Fresh shirt
Matching socks
Hairwax & scotch on the rocks
It's a look
That kills
We're gonna vacuum this town for thrills
It's shaking, it's spinning,
Alarm bells are ringing
Everything is out of control
It's inviting -- Inviting
Exciting -- Exciting
There ain't no doubt about it
It's inviting -- Inviting
Exciting -- Exciting
Gonna climb up high & shout it out loud
Cheap thrills
Cheap thrills
Cheap thrills
Cheap thrills

Midnight hour
Loud music & whiskey sour
I need action
Satisfaction
I wanna cause some kind of reaction
Spin the wheel
Roll the dice
Black jack & sparkling wine on ice
Dry martini
James Brown
Come on pretty baby get down, down, down
It's rumbling & shaking
The whole ground is quaking
Everything is out of control
It's inviting -- Inviting
Exciting -- Exciting
There ain't no doubt about it
It's inviting -- Inviting
Exciting -- Exciting
Gonna climb up high & shout it out loud
Cheap thrills

Talk is cheap but I still can't afford it
The night is young we got time to kill
Come on, come on, let's do it for the thrills

(I like to point out that this lyric isn't about any member in Randy, it is strictly fictional but I do think however that all the kids want x-ray eyes.)
Oh! Ah! Oh! Ah! Hey! We're a happy family
Oh! Ah! Oh! Ah! Hey! We're a happy family
Back in 1981
The scream & shouting had begun
My parents were still married
And had their hatches buried
Told me everything would work out fine
Back in 1982
They were talking 'bout what to do
Stay together or separate
Everyday that same debate
Heard them from the walls up in my room
All the kids want X-ray eyes
So they can tell when grown-ups lies
Got their minds set on the price
The kids want X-ray eyes
Oh! Ah! Oh! Ah! Hey! We're a happy family
Oh! Ah! Oh! Ah! Hey! We're a happy family
Back in 1983
First day in school for me
Our teachers name was Mary
Said it's necessary
That all the kids do exactly what they're told
All the kids want X-ray eyes
So they can tell when grown-ups lies
Got their minds set on the price
The kids want X-ray eyes
All the kids want X-ray eyes
So they can tell when grown-ups lies
Got their minds set on the price
The kids want X-ray eyes
Don't think I can take it, I surrender mama
Just not felling so good
Things didn't turn out the way you told me
Told me that they would
Don't think I can take it, I surrender mama
Just not felling so good
Things didn't turn out the way you told me that they would
Oh! Ah! Oh! Ah! Hey! We're a happy family
Oh! Ah! Oh! Ah! Hey! We're a happy family -- Ooh! Ooh! Happy family
Oh! Ah! Oh! Ah! Hey! We're a happy family -- Ooh! Ooh! Happy family
Oh! Ah! Oh! Ah! Hey! We're a happy family -- Ooh! Ooh! Happy family
All the kids want X-ray eyes -- X-ray eyes
So they can tell when grown-ups lies
They got their minds set on the price
The kids want X-ray eyes
All the kids want X-ray eyes -- X-ray eyes
So they can tell when grown-ups lies
They got their minds set on the price
The kids want X-ray eyes
- Oh! I'm not in the mood, I don't feel so good. I think I better call a doctor.
- Dring!
- Don't forget the doctor.
Doctor, Doctor I need a cure
Cos I got a problem that I can't endure
Too much of this, too little of that
First I was thin, now way too fat
There's something wrong with me
I've become my own enemy
Back hurts cause my bed's too hard
Blow is stuck on my credit card
I get sick when I play my PS2
And my Gamecube too
There's something wrong with me
I've become my own enemy
I've got welfare problems
Welfare problems
Welfare problems
And I can't get you out of my mind, get out
Doctor, doctor, I need a cure
Cos I got a problem that I can't endure
If I drink from monday to friday
Then I'm too tired to drink on saturday
There's something wrong with me
I've become my own enemy
I've got welfare problems
Welfare problems
Welfare problems
And I can't get you out of my mind, get out
Welfare
Problems
Welfare
Problems
One for the money, two for the show
Took a piss outside and I ate the snow
I've got welfare problems
Welfare problems
Welfare problems
Welfare problems
Welfare problems
Welfare problems
Welfare problems
And I can't get you out of my mind, get out
If these are the rules
If these are the laws
Then I will play falsely
Cos they're filled with flaws
And I won't play your game
Cos I think that it's lame
And if you feel just like a do
You can become-come a cheater, cheater too
Cheater, cheater, cheater, cheater
Cheater, cheater, cheater, cheater
Cheater, cheater, cheater, cheater
If you feel just like I do
You can become a cheater too
I'm a brick through your window
I'm a stick in your machinery
I'm a timebomb ready to blow
I'm friday thirteen on your diary
And I won't play your game
Cos I think that it's lame
And if you feel just like a do
You can become-come a cheater, cheater too
Cheater, cheater, cheater, cheater
Cheater, cheater, cheater, cheater
Cheater, cheater, cheater, cheater
And if you feel just like I do
You can become a cheater too, all along you cheater sing
Oh yeah! -- Oh yeah!
Oh yeah! -- Oh yeah!
Oh yeah! -- Oh yeah!
You can become a cheater too
Oh yeah! -- Oh yeah!
Oh yeah! -- Oh yeah!...
Oh yeah!
You can become a cheater too
If you feel just like a do
Yeah! I promise that it's true
You can become a cheater too
Cheater, cheater, cheater, cheater
Cheater, cheater, cheater, cheater
Cheater, cheater, cheater, cheater
Cheater, cheater, cheater, cheater
Cheater, cheater, cheater, cheater
Cheater, cheater, cheater, cheater
Cheater, cheater, cheater, cheater
Cheater, cheater, cheater, cheater
Cheater, cheater, cheater, cheater
Cheater, cheater, cheater, cheater
Cheater, cheater, cheater, cheater
Lookout!
I ain't no goddamn loser
I ain't no goddamn fool
And I ain't no pushover baby
I won't play it by the rules
And if you want a friend kid
Don't you look at me
I may have a childish charm
But I was born in 1973
Time may be eternal but my patience is not
Gonna give it all that I got
For some it may be nothing but for me it's a lot
Me it's a lot, it's all that I got
And it's ruff stuff
Ruff stuff
Stuff that's ruff
Ruff stuff
Ruff stuff
Stuff that's ruff
I ain't no goddamn loser
I ain't no son of a bitch
To find out what I got
Honey just flip my switch
Don't you get me angry
Cos I'm like water on oil
Well, if you think I'm crazy now
You should see me when I start to boil
Time may be eternal but my patience is not
Gonna give it all that I got
For some it may be nothing but for me it's a lot
It's all that I got, It's all that I got
And it's ruff stuff
Ruff stuff
Stuff that's ruff
It's ruff stuff
Ruff stuff
Stuff that's ruff
And it's ruff stuff
Ruff stuff
Stuff that's ruff
Ruff stuff
Ruff stuff
Stuff that's ruff
Never ever has nobody like me caused empires to fall
I've never hit, I've never kicked, I've never injured anybody in anyway at all
The only battles I fought were the ones inside my own four walls
I fired bullets of words, names that I called that only made you feel small
Every time the shit hits the fan, I'll be gone away with the band
A life of love and a love for the van don't always go hand in hand
But the beat won't go away, in my heart, my enemy
It's all the same if I go or if I stay
New countries, new cities, new streets but never did I see them alone
Me & the boys go 24-7 through 24 different time zones
In times like these nothing scares me more than the sound of a ringing telephone
Bad news I can tell on your voice that it's a message from an unhappy home
Sometimes I'll be happy, happy & ecstatic
But more likely I'll be drunk & dramatic
Truces were few & far between
It's been that way since we were seventeen
(Unpaid bills, times that we spill
Don't you know those pills can get you killed)
The beat won't go away, in my heart my enemy
It's all the same if I go or if I stay
The beat won't go away, in my heart my enemy
It's all the same if I go or if I... dont...go
Some people always crying
For things they should -- Should or shouldn't do
I saw my face in the mirror
And I knew -- Knew that it was all true
Oh mister I got a question
Is my generation -- Generation cursed?
We are all swimming in water
But we're dying of thirst
I, oh I... got a lot of things on my mind
I, oh I... feel de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-devilish
Ah my friend you got to hear this
Somebody's telling -- Telling the truth
The scientist don't believe him
They say he ain't -- Claim he ain't got the proofs
Oh Lord, I got a question
What are we suppose to do -- Suppose to do?
With all this ammunition
We can't use it on you?
I, oh I... got a lot of things on my mind
I, oh I... feel devilish
I, oh I... got a lot of things on my mind
I, oh I... feel de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-devilish
Devilish -- They say I'm vicious
Devilish -- They say I'm paranoid
Devilish -- They say I got a mission: To get myself destroyed
Devilish -- Say I'm anti-social
Devilish -- They say that I'm insane
Devilish -- Say they injected boredom straight into my veins
I, oh I... got a lot of things on my mind
I, oh I... feel devilish
I, oh I... got a lot of things on my mind
I, oh I... feel
Devilish -- They say I'm vicious
I, oh I...
Devilish -- They say I'm paranoid
I, oh I...
Devilish -- Say I'm anti-social
I, oh I... de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-devilish
(This is a song about Sweden but if you feel that the lyric can be applied on whatever country you may live in then, by all means you should sing along too.)
Just a bad dog
Just a bad dog
I'm fucking pissed man, I can't take it
They built a safety net and now you want to break it
You always been so scared but now you're weak too, so
So fuck you, fuck you
You're ain't a one in a million, you're a million to one
You say you just getting started, say you're already done
I had enough man, I'm sick of faking
System had a neck you know I gladly break it
Started with nothing, now you lost that too
So fuck you, fuck you
You got one eye open but you claim that you sleep
You say you're not involved but you‘re in knee deep
Play dirty
Dirty & cheap
Dirty
Dirty & cheap
Dirty
Dirty & cheap
If it's evil you sow, it's evil you reap
Dirty & cheap
You goddamn motherfucker
I'm fucking pissed man, can't take it
You had it going on but you choose to forsake it
You sold the little we had, now you're selling us too
Fuck you, fuck you
You tore down the walls, had us settling with less
Sold us out behind our backs and left us this mess
Play dirty
Dirty & cheap
Dirty
Dirty & cheap
Dirty
Dirty & cheap
If it's evil you sow, it's evil you reap
Dirty & cheap
You started with nothing, you will end up with less
Dirty & cheap
You sold us out behind our back and left us this mess
Dirty & cheap
If it's evil you sow, it's evil you reap
You play dirty
Dirty & cheap
