Out Of Print
There was a time, not long ago
When we'd get shit everywhere we'd go
But times have changed and so have we
We're creeping up on society
Stop complaining don't you know
We've still got a long way to go
You gotta fight, fight, fight to unite
You gotta fight, fight, fight to unite
You gotta fight, fight, fight to unite
You gotta fight, fight, fight to unite
You get discouraged, about wasting time
On a bunch of kids with simple minds
But kids can grow and minds get smart
Don't be negative it's a start
No one's forced you, you can leave
It's not impossible if you believe
You gotta fight, fight, fight to unite
You gotta fight, fight, fight to unite
You gotta fight, fight, fight to unite
You gotta fight, fight, fight to unite
We've got to learn from their mistakes
Not just fill up this vacated place
You gotta fight, fight, fight, fight to unite
You gotta fight, fight, fight, fight to unite
You gotta fight, fight, fight, fight to unite
You gotta fight to unite
Now's the time not long ago
It's time to prove this ain't no show
Fight and kill and claw our way
Think we'll make a better way
Use your minds that's what they're for
Don't waste time trying to even the score
You gotta fight, fight, fight to unite
You gotta fight, fight, fight to unite
You gotta fight, fight, fight to unite
You gotta fight, fight, fight to unite
We've got to learn from their mistakes
Not just fill up this vacated place
You gotta fight, fight, fight to unite
You gotta fight, fight, fight to unite
You gotta fight, fight, fight to unite
You gotta fight, fight, fight to unite
You come from England to play for us
Tell us the truth
But all you do is disillusion us
We can't be heard
Upstarts against the world like us
Everyday's another clash
Preach silly rules to us
When all you want is cash
Treachery from the old world
Treachery you've been bought and sold
Treachery is all you hold
When you've nothing to prove
Oo-ee-oo
We don't need you
Oo-ee-oo
To tell us the fucking truth
Trying to deny us
It that really fair
To say you've done things before us
Is neither here nor there
Don't try to compete with us
Cause we don't care
All your smart ass attitudes toward us
Are death warrants over here
Treachery from the old world
Treachery you've been bought and sold
Treachery is all you hold
When you've nothing to prove
Oo-ee-oo
We don't need you
Oo-ee-oo
To tell us the fucking truth
Treachery from the old world
Treachery you've been bought and sold
Treachery is all you hold
When you've nothing to prove
Oo-ee-oo
We don't need you
Oo-ee-oo
To tell us the fucking truth
Arms starts flying and fists starts swinging, music starts ringing, the circle is formed
Heat starts building, sweat starts pouring, tension is mounting in the circle, beware!
In the middle of the circle you're all alone, look for familiar faces, none are around
Locked in a circle surrounded by lines, the point of departure cannot be found
In the circle - you cannot escape
The vicious circle - captures small and great
In this world we all know the only thing certain in life is death
Find some meaning to it all, the absurdity what can it mean
Can reality be just a dream
Or a nightmare, never ending
And we're pawns in the game
Resign yourself and accept the fact
The circle can't be broken, you know you're trapped
Faith in yourself is the only thing you've got
Remain the circle and we can make it stop
Believe you've got the power, it's something to see
We cannot build, set you free
From the circle - you must escape
the vicious circle - captures small an great
In this world we all know the only thing certain in life is death
Find some meaning to it all, the absurdity what can it mean
Can reality be just a dream
Hangin' around, we've got nothing to do
Ain't got much money so we've little to lose
Having fun is all that counts
Today's here, tomorrow's always in doubt
You don't understand
We don't need your plans
You've always tried to control us
Done everything that you've told us
Put away your guns and wives
We won't live your fuckin' lives
Boys in the brigade, boys in the brigade
Boys in the brigade, boys in the brigade
Boys in the brigade, boys in the brigade
Boys in the brigade
Rockheads, smoothies, jarheads abound
Diggers and gyros can always be found
L7's, gayboys, queers and the rest
Everyone knows brigade boys are best
You don't understand
We don't need your plans
You've always tried to control us
Done everything that you've told us
Put away your guns and wives
We won't live your fuckin' lives
Boys in the brigade, boys in the brigade
Boys in the brigade, boys in the brigade
Boys in the brigade, boys in the brigade
Boys in the brigade
You don't understand
We don't need your plans
You've always tried to control us
Done everything that you've told us
Put away your guns and wives
We won't live your fuckin' lives
Boys in the brigade, boys in the brigade
Boys in the brigade, boys in the brigade
Boys in the brigade, boys in the brigade
Boys in the brigade
The frontier's closed, the horizon is black
The seeds of fortune became the grapes of wrath
Music of a restive age - unwanted, uninvited
Music of a restive age - no one wants you, no one needs you
Music of a restive age - unwanted, uninvited
Music of a restive age - no one wants you, no one needs you
Why are we, why are we, why are we - so alienated, so alienated?
Why are we, why are we, why are we - so alienated, so alienated?
I tell you when I walk in the streets
People look at me
They lock their doors to their cars and their homes
When I am near
What do they fear?
They fear the sounds
And what can be found
Music of a restive age - unwanted, uninvited
Music of a restive age - no one wants you, no one needs you
Music of a restive age - unwanted, uninvited
Music of a restive age - no one wants you, no one needs you
Why are we, why are we, why are we -- so alienated, so alienated?
Why are we, why are we, why are we -- so alienated, so alienated?
I know you look at me with disdain
I see the scorn on your face,
You can't keep me in place
Your world is falling apart
We're heading straight for the heart
Try all you want,
This restive age can't be stopped
The frontier's closed, the horizon is black
The seeds of fortune became the grapes of wrath
Music of a restive age - unwanted, uninvited
Music of a restive age - no one wants you, no one needs you
Music of a restive age - unwanted, uninvited
Music of a restive age - no one wants you, no one needs you
Why are we, why are we, why are we - so alienated, so alienated?
Why are we, why are we, why are we - so alienated, so alienated?
I tell you we don't want to be alienated
Just want our chance to see things change
Instead of stay the same
And if alienation is what we must face
It's a small price to pay
To see things our way
You don't understand the way we feel
To you our lives are so unreal
You hope it's just a passing fad
We'll aspire to the lives that you never had
You say that we should not complain
You hear it over and over again
But you don't seem to realize
How uncertain you've made our lives
Criticize everything we do
Chastise what you don't approve
Your life is lies we despise
You can't even look at me in the eyes
You look at us with scornful eyes
To you our lives are so unwise
You say that you hear everything
But it's obvious you're not listening
Criticize everything we do
Chastise what you don't approve
Your life is lies we despise
You can't even look at me in the eyes
You don't understand, you don't understand!
You don't understand, you don't understand!
You don't understand, you don't understand!
You can't realize, ignorance is in your eyes!
You're truth is just a point of view
Don't care about it or any of you
You think you've made our lives so great
No generation ever had such a fate
You don't understand the way we feel
To you our lives are so unreal
You hope it's just a passing fad
We'll aspire to the lives that you never had
Criticize everything we do
Chastise what you don't approve
Your life's lies we despise
You just want to make it stop
Gonna be a fight tonight
We're moving in, we're taking over
We're gonna have some fun tonight
If you can't take the heat, stay outta the street
Yesterdays heroes are forgotten today
And todays won't be remembered tomorrow
All the ideas must be swept away
No time for pity or sorrow
We're gonna kick some heads tonight
If you don't have friends you better take cover
The crews all here tonight
We've moved in, we've taken over
It don't matter how long you've been around
You're either real or just a wanna be
It's time for all you kids to realize
You either join or be left behind
We're gonna kick some heads tonight
If you don't have friends you better take cover
The crews all here tonight
We've moved in, we've taken over
It don't matter how long you've been around
You're either real or just a wanna be
It's time for all you kids to realize
You either join or be left behind
They say there's strengh in numbers, we've got the numbers here
Got to unite forces then it'll be us they fear
And then we'll drink to kids like you and me
We'll march in the streets, full force
There's no time like the present and presently we're oppressed
Let your voice be heard today before your life's a mess
And now I've only got two words for you and it's not "Good luck"!
Then we'll leave you bloody in the streets cos we don't give a fuck
Full force - come straight to me
Full force - and you will see
Full force - that's the way it'll be
Full force - come straight to me
Full force - and you will see
Full force - that's the way it'll be
Get off your ass, get out of your house take matters in your own hands
Us kids are gonna do the things we wanna do it's our time to take a stand
And then we'll drink to kids like you and me
We'll march in the streets, full force
They say there's strengh in numbers, we've got the numbers here
Got to unite forces then it'll be us they fear
And now I've only got two words for you and it's not "Good luck"!
Then we'll leave you bloody in the streets cos we don't give a fuck
Full force - come straight to me
Full force - and you will see
Full force - that's the way it'll be
Your heart starts beating faster and your blood begins to boil
The music gets into your veins and there's a feeling to destroy
All the hate and anger has been building up inside
Got to let it out somehow before it takes your life
Adrenaline, response, noises in your head
Adrenaline, response, noises in your head
The music is a part of you, it always will be - Sound & Fury
The power is just surging forward, can you feel it - Sound & Fury
Don't let it take hold of your mind - Sound & Fury
Got to get into, but can you get out of the Sound & Fury
Now your pulse has swelled up and you're ready to explode
The music spins you round and round, and the urge to hurt takes hold
You don't need a reason, the crushing rhythm won't subside
The thin line been crossed and you're on the violent side
Adrenaline, response, noises in your head
Adrenaline, response, noises in your head
The music is now taking over, will you let it - Sound & Fury
The violence is spewing outward, can you stop it - Sound & Fury
Can it take over your mind - Sound & Fury
Got to get into, but can you get out of the Sound & Fury
My minds a shambles, I can't get straight
I'm so afraid, afraid with hate
My minds a shambles, I don't know where
I'm coming or going or if I care
Tell me what I'm feeling
Conditions being won
Problems we've been facing
The days when we were young
Confusion, confusion
Drown you sorrow, it'll ease the pain
Confusion, confusion
Don't need to understand what you can't explain
My minds a shambles, I can't get straight
I'm so afraid, afraid with hate
My minds a shambles, I don't know where
I'm coming or going or if I care
Tell me what I'm feeling
Conditions being won
Problems we've been facing
The days when we were young
Confusion, confusion
Drown you sorrow, it'll ease the pain
Confusion, confusion
Don't need to understand what you can't explain
I'm so confused, I'm so confused
I'm so confused, I'm so confused
I'm so confused, leave me alone
I'm so confused, leave me alone
I'm so confused, leave me alone
I can't take it no more
I'm so confused, leave me alone
I'm so confused, leave me alone
I'm so confused, leave me alone
I can't take it no more
I'm so confused, leave me alone
I'm so confused, leave me alone
I'm so confused, leave me alone
I can't take it no more
I'm so confused, leave me alone
I'm so confused, leave me alone
I'm so confused, leave me alone
I can't take it no more
They call us fascist and then they prey
To the god that made the world their way
In whose name they kill and teach
The sermons and the laws they preach
Violence, violence, violence, just for kicks
Violence, violence, violence, does it make any sense
Violence, violence, violence, can you stop it
Violence, violence, violence, do you want to
Philosophy borne of the mind
Try to explain the problems of our lives
It can't explain away
That violence is here to stay
Say it's just our nature, we have to fight, fight, fight!
Doesn't matter we've been taught that might makes right
Violence, violence, violence, just for kicks
Violence, violence, violence, does it make any sense
Violence, violence, violence, can you stop it
Violence, violence, violence, do you want to
Violence, violence, violence, violence
Violence, violence, violence, violence
Violence, violence, violence, violence
Violence, violence, violence, violence
Violence, violence, violence, violence
Violence, violence, violence, just for kicks
Violence, violence, violence, does it make any sense
Violence, violence, violence, can you stop it
Violence, violence, violence, do you want to
What kind of evil is inside of you
You lie to my face when you tell me your truth
You're not the same girl that I used to know
You live in a nightmare, your whole life's a show
That's on the edge, on the edge
It goes on and on, on and on
On the edge, on the edge
It goes on and on, on and on
So many things you do just for fun
Not much you can do that hasn't been done
No sense in giving if you've nothing to give
No sense in living if you don't want to live - That's a fucking joke!
Deny the problem but it won't go away
Look to your future, not day to day
You can't run away when the problems inside
You've got to find the source you just can't hide
No one can help you, you don't want their help
A slap in the face is better than a stab in the back
I'm not to the left, I'm not to the right
I'm not in the middle and I will fight
... ... ...
Don't tell me you're helpless
Nothing makes a difference
Attitudes do change a thing
Their's more to life than living
You live, you die, you wounder why?
Most people will make the time
You dream, you hopes, you just can cope
With the life that you can't understand
I'm sick of all the bitterness
I'm sick of all the hate
Everyone's so disconnected
No one can communicate
How can - how can - how can we live like this?
How can - how can - how can we live like this?
... ... ...
Why do we never get an answer when we're knocking at your door
With a thousand million questions about hate and death and war?
Why do we never get an answer when we're knocking at your door
With a thousand million questions about hate and death and war?
Cos when you stop and think about it, there is nothing that we need
In a world of persecution, when it's burning up with greed
Why do we never get an answer when we're knocking at your door
With a thousand million questions about hate and death and war?
Cos when you stop and think about it, there is nothing that we need
In a world of persecution, when it's burning up with greed
Somebody's Gonna Get Their Head Kicked In! ***
So everybody is rockin' and everyone is feelin' alright - alright
It's all when the youth and there's soon gonna be a fight - be a fight
It says someone's gonna get their head kicked in tonight!
Everybody is rockin' and everyone just wants more - more
So there's gonna be a pool of blood on the dancin' floor - floor
Somebody's gonna get their head kicked in tonight!
We're gonna rip off the halls - rip off the walls
Tear down the walls - Tear down the wall
All those boys, gonna be a big fight
And ... take it outside
Everybody is rockin' and everyone just wants more - more
So there's gonna be a pool of blood on the dancin' floor - floor
Somebody's gonna get their head kicked in tonight!
We're gonna rip off the halls
Tear down the walls
All those boys, gonna be a big fight
And ... take it outside
Everybody is rockin' and everyone just wants more - more
So there's gonna be a pool of blood on the dancin' floor - floor
Somebody's gonna get their head
Somebody's gonna get their head
Somebody's gonna get their head kicked in tonight!
