NITRO
(YOUTH ENERGY)
Our generation sees the
world
Not the same as before
We might as well just throw it
all
And live like..
There's no tomorrow
x
3
We are the ones
Who are living under the gun
every day
You might be gone before you
know
So live like..
There's no tomorrow - ain't gonna
waste this life
There's no tomorrow - ain't gonna
waste this life
There's no tomorrow - you ain't
gonna live it for me
Believe it
The official view of the world
has changed
In a whole new way
Live fast'cause if you don't take
it
You'll never make it
So if you understand me
And if you feel the same
Then you will know what nitro
means
You'll live like..
There's no tomorrow - you ain't
gonna waste this life
There's no tomorrow - you ain't
gonna live it for me
There's no tomorrow - you ain't
gonna waste this life
There's no tomorrow - you ain't
gonna live it for me
There's no tomorrow

BAD
HABIT
man you know I'm really
okay
The gun in my hand will tell you
the same
But when I'm in my car
Don't give me no crap
'Cause the slightest thing and I
just might snap
When I go driving I stay in my
lane
But getting cut off it makes me
insane
I open the glove box
Reach inside
I'm gonna wreck this fucker's
ride
Refrain:
I guess I got a bad habit
Of blowin' away
I got a bad habit
And it ain't goin' away
Well t say the road is a
dangerous place
If you flip me off I'm the danger
you'll face
If you drive on my ass
Your foot's on the gas
And your next breath is your
last
Refrain
Drivers are rude
Such attitudes
But when I show my peace
Complaints cease
Something's odd
I Feel like I'm god
You stupid dumbshit goddam
motherfucker
I open the glove box
Reach inside
I'm gonna wreck this fucker's
ride
Refrain

GOTTA
GET AWAY
I'm getting edgy all the
time
There's someone around me just a
step behind
It's kinda scary the shape I'm
in
The walls are shakin' and t're
closing in
Too fast or a bit too slow
I'm paranoid of people and it's
starting to show
There's one guy that I can't
shake
Over my shoulder is a big
mistake
Refrain:
Sitting on the bed
Or lying wide awake
There's demons in my head
And it's more than I can take
I think I'm on a roll
But I think it's kinda weak
Saying all I know is
I gotta get away from me
I tell you something just ain't
right
My head is on loose but my shoes
are tight
Avoiding my fiends 'cause t all
bug
Life is like a riddle and I'm
really stumped
If you reason, don't you know
Your own preoccupation is where
you'll go
I think I'm being followed, I
look around
It's only my shadow creepin' on
the ground
Refrain
Gotta get away from me

GENOCIDE
Our lives run different
ways
Through the rain I see you in the
sun
Our star shines anyway
If you wish upon it we are
one
Chorus:
Dog eat Dog
Every day
On our fellow man we prey
Dog eat Dog
To get by
Hope you like my genocide
I find it such a shame
Through the pain I see things as
t are
We're served up on a plate
The pedestal is high enough to
fall
And if in time
We can see the errors of our
ways
Would anyone change it anyhow
Our time is up
Refrain x
2
I bet you'd only run
If you saw what goes inside our
own
I bet you'd lead the way
If it were up to you decide
But it's not
Chorus x

hum...I especially enjoy that
one. Let's see what's
next...

SOMETHING
TO BELIEVE IN
I believe that reality's
gone
Disillusion's real
I believe that reality's gone
And there's nothing to feel
If you take secret things
Things that we hold dear
Hands of crime is all you'll
find
So give me somethin'
Somethin' to believe
in x
4
I believe in the changin' of the
guard
Put our feet on the ground
See how it is in your own
backyard
Everything breaks down
Do you accept what you are
told
Without even thinking
Throw it all you'll make your
own
So give me somethin'
Somethin' to believe
in x
4
Where t lead
You will follow
Well I guess that's just the way
it goes
And if you go away
You'll be doing what t say
And if you've got a life
You'll be seeing that it's
right
If you take home anything
Let it be your own two feet
The more single you become
The better off you'll be
Somethin' to believe
in x

COME
OUT AND PLAY (KEEP'EM
SEPARATED)
Like the latest fashion
Like a spreading disease
The kids are strappin' on their
way to the classroom
Getting weapons with the greatest
of ease
The gangs stake their own campus
locale
And if t catch you slippin' then
it's all over pal
If one guy's colors and the
other's don't mix
T're gonna bash it up
man you talkin' back to me?
Take him out
You gotta keep 'em separated
man you disrespecting me?
Take him out
You gotta keep 'em separated
t don't pay no mind
If you're under 18 you won't be
doing any time
come out and play
By the time you hear the
siren
It's already too late
One goes to the morgue and the
other to jail
One guy's wasted and the other's
a waste
man you disrespecting me?
Take him out
You gotta keep 'em separated
man you talkin' back to me?
Take him out
You gotta keep 'em separated
t don't pay no mind
If you're under 18 you won't be
doing any time
come out and play

SELF
ESTEEM
I wrote her off for the tenth
time today
And practice all the things I
would say
But she came over
I lost my nerve
I took her back and made her
dessert
Now I know I'm being used
That's okay man'cause I like the
abuse
I know she's playing with me
That's okay'cause I got no self
esteem
We make plans to go out at
night
I wait till 2 then I turn out the
light
All this rejection's got me so
low
If she keeps it up I just might
tell her no
Chorus:
When she's saying that she wants
only me
Then I wonder why she sleeps with
my friends
When she's saying that I'm like a
disease
Then I wonder how much more I can
spend
Well I guess I should speak up
for myself
But I really think it's better
this way
The more you suffer
The more it shows you really
care
Right?
Now I'll relate this little
bit
That happens more than I'd like
to admit
Late at night she knocks on my
door
Drunk again and looking to
score
Now I know I should say no
But that's kind of hard when
she's ready to go
I may be dumb
But I'm not a dweeb
I'm just a sucker with no self
esteem
Chorus

IT'LL
BE A LONG TIME
All this time has whittled
away
Like so many days in one
Back and forth the leaders
sway
Backing it up with guns
Pre-Chorus:
Superpowers flex their wings
Hold the world on puppet
strings
Egos will feed
While citizens bleed
That's always the way it goes
Refrain:
When will the world listen to
reason
I've a feeling it'll be a long
time
When will the truth come in to
season
I've a feeling it'll be a long
time x
2
All t want is what t can
defend
Before their time is up
Make the same mistakes again
Heard it all before
Pre-Chorus
+ Chorus
I've a feeling it'll be a long
time
Well if t tried maybe t'd see
It'd do a little good to let the
world be free
Handshake and a smile gets you on
through
Then turn it all around with a
suicide move
But you know it's not fooling
anyone but me
You gotta make yourself see what
you want to see
But you know it's not fooling
anyone but me
You gotta make yourself see what
you want to see
Pre-Chorus

KILLBOY
POWERHEAD
He's a pistol grip
And a lightning rod hammer
step
He always busts his knuckles
When he's wrenchin' up his
shit
Refrain:
He just a Killboy Powerhead
Killboy Powerhead

You know I saw his woman
She was writing his name in
blood
You know I saw his woman
Hard as a rock
She said she was his baby
Who looked just like the Hoover
Dam
You know I saw his woman
Hard as a rock
He just a Killboy Powerhead
Killboy Powerhead

WHAT
HAPPENED TO YOU ?
Before you started tokin' you
used to have a brain
But now you don't get even the
simplest of things
I can draw a little picture or
even use my hands
I try to explain but you just
don't understand
Refrain:
Man you're really losin' it
And you've really done a lot of
junk now
But you keep on abusin' it
What in the world happened to you
?
It's bad enough you do it to
yourself
But taking someone with you
Well you know that's something
else
I say I'm not that kind of
person
I'm not that kind of man
I try to explain but you just
don't understand
Refrain x
2
I might be sympathetic or cut a
little slack
If I thought that you were
willing to give a little back
But you do it in the morning
You do it in the night
You lie to Chorus from just
facing your life
So I'll see you tomorrow
You'll be gackin' up again I'll
see you in a coffin by the time
your wad is spent
I think of all the times that I
tried to lend a hand
I try to explain but you just
don't understand
Refrain

SO
ALONE
Look at the crowd and tell me
whether
All are surrounded
But none are together
If you're awake, look all
around
At all of the people
Still you're so alone
So alone x
3
If I could, I'd make a
suggestion
Without sounding preachy
Or begging the question
Melt with your minds
Melt with each other
Don't be surrounded, don't be so
alone
So alone x

NOT
THE ONE
I'm not the one who made the
world what it is today
I'm not the one who'caused the
problems started long ago
But now I deal with all the
consequences that troubles our
times
I carry on and never once have
even questioned why
I'm innocent
But the weight of the world is on
my shoulders
I'm innocent
But the battles started are far
from over
We're not the ones who leave the
homeless in the streets at
night
We're not the ones who've kept
minorities and women down
Still we grow and then the
problems become our own
We carry on without even
realizing why
We're innocent
But the weight of the world is on
our shoulders
We're innocent
But the battles left us are far
from over
We're innocent
But the weight of the world is on
our shoulders
We're innocent
But the battles left us are far
from over
We're innocent
But the weight of the world is on
our shoulders
We're innocent
But the battles left us are far
from over
We're not the ones whose
pollution blackened our skies
And ruined our streams
We're not the ones who made the
nuclear bombs
That threaten our lives
We're not the ones who let the
children starve in faraway
lands
We're not the ones who made the
streets unsafe to walk at
night
And even if we try and not become
so overwhelmed
And if we make some contribution
to the plight we see
Still our descendents will
inherit our mistakes of today
T'll suffer just the same as we
and never wonder why

SMASH
Head over heals I've fit in
before
Now I don't wanna do it no
more
I've held it all in with blood on
my face
Built it up man so bad you can
taste
I don't slag no one
I don't even judge
Don't give a shit 'cause I'm not
gonna budge
I just want to be who I want to
be
Guess that's hard for others to
see
Refrain:
I'm not a trendy asshole
I do what I want
I do what I feel like
I'm not a trendy asshole
Don't give a fuck
If it's good enough for you
'Cause I am alive
Smash is the way you feel all
alone
Like an outcast you're out on
your own
Smash is the way you deal with
your life
Like an outcast you're smashing
your strife
Head over heels I've fit in
before
Now I don't want to do it no
more
I just want to be who I want to
be
Guess that's hard for others to
see
Refrain
Head over heals I've fit in
before
Now I don't wanna do it no
more
I just want to be who I want to
be
Guess that's hard for others to
see
