01. Why Not

[Instrumental]

02. Who Died And Made You God

I'm Walkin' down a crowded street,
Theres always someone staring at me
Hey you, over there, why don't you cut your hair?
I don't know the reason why?
You're not god, so then who died?
Well forget that now everyone,
And now gather round let's have fun
Who Died And Made You God?

Well who died, and made you god?

Is there something wrong with you,
Why don't you like the things we do
What are you looking at?Do you want some friction back?
Think you own the world you say,
That attitude is such a shame
Who Died And Made You God?

Well who died, and made you god?

Freedom is a way of life, who are you to criticize
Play it safe that's your way,
Take a chance what are you afraid?
Put us down, treat us wrong
You and me we been Belong
Who Died And Made You God?

Well who died, and made you god?

03. Battered Youth

Why should the children of the world,
Be beaten to their death
Troubled parents, troubled minds,
Beating children time after time
Found in Bags in the trash,
Innocent victims of a mind, that has crashed

Someone help them, help them please
It's up to us to fulfill their needs,
Battered Youth!

Time and time you read it in the news,
Pictures of children, battered and bruised,
Yeah!

No Stop! You hear them cry,
As the fire burns in the giant's eyes
Used for sex, and other ways,
What the hell is going on in society today

Estimated 5,000 a year, we must save the
Children who live in fear
Tortured child, battered youth

Too young to talk, but's in thier eyes,
All the trouble they have to hide
Troubled minds, troubled times,
In this places we've come to be
No one ever knows the reason why?

The baby's cryin' all night long
Hold that anger, she's done nothing wrong

Well tortured child-Oh Battered Youth

04. Thunder & Lightning

Locked up in the classroom waiting for the fight
Down to the schoolyard knocking the gate
Into the alley meet up with the boys
Waiting for the weekend to make a little noise

Thunder is strong, lightning is death
Kicking the girls and it's starting to blast
Sweeter than the heavens and the fate means stumble
But it's Saturday night when heavy rock was born

Like thunder and lightning
God damn, it's so exciting
It hits you like a hammer
God damn

It was Saturday night I was ready for the dance
My girl walked in holding another guys hand
He stood six foot six he looked two miles wide
I was taking it easy till he took her outside

I was madder than hell and fit to burn
This guy would break a leg before but now he's got to run
Standing in the corner giving him a thrill
You can keep your lover honey, but he's got to pay the bill

Well the place started rocking it was Saturday night
I was dressed to kill I was feeling alright
Alright in the middle of the night
I wasn't ready for a rumble but the mood was right

When he got up to leave
I stood in his way
I said love that's the price you have to pay
In the doorway up against the wall
When they play a heavy record then I'm gonna have a ball

We started to rumble and stumble
It is we were rocking and rolling and rolling and tumbling
I fumbled and started to win
When the greater than wicked then I hit him again

I hit him again and I couldn't hit him anymore
My head was all black and blue and my jaw was sore
Sweeter than the heavens and like a frightening stumble
It was Saturday night when heavy rock was born

05. Fell The Pain

Well alright!
Life expires every day,
And I dont know what to do
If I cant help myself, then how can I help you
No one really seems to care,
About the world and its affairs
Slowly the earth will decay

Can you feel, the pain in my heart
And can you see, the soul torn apart

Boys going off to war, some returning never more
Youth of the world forced to fight
People dont wanna see, a thing called reality
Selfishness and greed that's not for me

People lying on the street,
Selling drugs and themselves,
Just to get something to eat
Vietnam Veterans,
No one seems to help
The government they take us all for granted

06. Cry Freedom

Across the water lives a man,
That no one has, ever seen
Don't look in his eyes, or else you will die,
And no one will ever care
I set course for the place I've heard,
Hides this crazy man
I'll go there alone, someday I'll return,
I hope you understand

The place that I have come upon,
Is deep within the earth
I look at his face, I see in his eyes,
The fires of my fear
Nowhere to run, I am trapped here,
In this black domain
Will you look for me, like I searched for him,
Ttill then I, will remain

And he said
One-Where did you come from?
Two-What are you gonna do?
Three-Now you belong to me
Four-Here there is no law
Five-Can I survive?
Six-I think I'm next

Cry for freedom, cry, cry, cry

Across the water lives a man,
That no one has, ever seen
Don't look in his eyes, or else you will die,
And no one will ever care

Yes he said
One-Where did you come from?
Two-What are you gonna do?
Three-Now you belong to me
Four-Here there is no law
Five-Can I now survive?
Six-Will you be next?

07. Violence Imprisoned

Well tomorrow, yeah, tomorrow,
We shall die
We're the ones, who will stop
To see the light
Let the children's future climb,
And lead the way
Cause tomorrow's dream,
Will soon be yesterday

Violence Imprisoned
Violence Imprisoned

Begin to, feel the end of the human race
Start to see, the world's ending phase
Extinction, Domination, plays a part in our lives
Environmental Laws violated, infiltrated

Violence Imprisoned
Violence Imprisoned

Living with ignorance,
Only shows what we've yet to face
Polluting what we eat and drink,
Why this disgraceful waste?
Wilderness destroyed by the hour
Hunting for self glory,
Wanting greater power

Violence Imprisoned

08. Keep The Faith

When you were younger,
Fresh out of school
You thought that you were pretty tough,
And cool
Now times are changing,
And things don't stay the same
You better get up boy,
'cause you're becoming a man

Keep The Faith,
No matter how things seem
Keep The Faith,
I hear you, my friend

Your parents ignore you,
You're always tossed around
The next thing you know,
Your face is on the ground
Get up boy and stand up,
Stand up on your feet
You won't settle for any kind of defeat

Keep The Faith,
No matter how things seem
Keep The Faith,
If you need me I'm here
Keep The Faith,
No matter how things seem
Keep The Faith,
I hear you

You look in a mirror,
You've got to get it right
Hold on to your dreams,
And hold on tight
Now times are changing,
And things don't stay the same
You better get up boy,
Or you just might go insane

Keep the faith

09. Demented Obsession

All night, I try to forget,
The growing pain, I feel
I just can't stand, the aching, evil,
Trapped inside me, no, no

You crushed me, the you watched me burn,
Destroying all my pride,
All force, no remorse,
I'm caught inside your web

Fear stands besides me,
There's no strength to fight back,
From all, your games, and all your lies,
I'll make you burn, don't try fighting back

Time to die, you will pay
Time to die, you will pay

I never had the time to tell you,
How I really feel
'cause if I did, I don't think that,
You would understand
And now the time has come for me to tell
You what's inside
Don't turn your back on me baby,
'cause if you do, you shall die

10. Contract Killer

Land of doom, darkness above us,
Mystified night, destroying all others,
Evil's within you, fighting to kill, no time to
Waste forces at will

Justice is made, no turning back,
Forces of evil, there out to attack, attack,
Attack

City to city, never a home,
Deals are made, over the phone
Contracts are signed, money is dealt, the
Pain of the victim can never be felt

Job is done killing for pay, time to move on
There's no time to stay
Feeling of fear runs through your brain,
Is it all worth enduring the pain?
