Breaking
The Law
There I was completely wasting, out of work and down all inside it's so frustrating as I drift from town to town feel as though nobody cares if I live or die so I might as well begin to put some action in my life Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law So much for the golden future, I can't even start I've had every promise broken, there's anger in my heart you don't know what it's like, you don't have a clue if you did you'd find yourselves doing the same thing too Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law You don't know what it's like Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law Rapid Fire
Pounding the world like a battering ram Forging the furnace for the final grand slam Chopping away at the source soon the course will be done Leaving a trail of destruction that's second to none Hammering anvils straining muscle and might Shattering blows crashing browbeating fright Fast devastating and desolisating the curse Blasting the cannons of truth through each man of this earth Wielding the axe comes the one culmination That's always seemed certain to bring down the curtain on greed Sifting the good from the bad it's the age for the rage Of the dogs which must fall to the just and be free Now grate for the vandals who trampled and sampled Till this place conditioned brought forth demolition to war The slipping and sliding corrosive subsiding That withered and wained till the world seemed all drained fills the bay Pounding the world like a battering ram Forging the furnace for the final grand slam Chopping away at the source soon the course will be done Leaving a trail of destruction that's second to none Second to none
Metal Gods
We've taken too much for granted And all the time it had grown From techno seeds we first planted Evolved a mind of its own Marching in the streets Dragging iron feet Laser beaming hearts Ripping men apart From off I've seen my perfection Where we could do as we please In secrecy this infection Was spreading like a disease Hiding underground Knowing we'd be found Fearing for our lives Reaped by robot's scythes Metal Gods Metal Gods Metal Gods Metal Gods Machines are taking all over With mankind in their command In time they'd like to discover How they can make their demand Better be the slaves To their wicked ways But meeting with our death Engulfed in molten breath
Grinder
Never straight and narrow I won't keep in time Tend to burn the arrow Out of the line Been inclined to wander Off the beaten track That's where there's thunder And the wind shouts back Grinder Looking for meat Grinder Wants you to eat Got no use for routine I shiver at the thought Open skies are my scene That's why I won't get caught Refuse to bite the mantrap Be led to set the snare I love to have my sight Capped everywhere Grinder Looking for meat Grinder Wants you to eat I've held my licence It came with birth, For self reliance on this earth You take the bullet On which my name Was etched upon in your game Day of independence Stamped us like a brand Round the necks of millions To the land As the mighty eagle I need room to breathe Witness from the treadmill I take my leave Grinder Looking for meat Grinder Wants you to eat Grinder Looking for meat Grinder Wants you to eat Grinder

Living After Midnight
Living after midnight, rockin' to the dawn Lovin' 'til the morning, then I'm gone, I'm gone I took the city 'bout one A.M, loaded, loaded I'm all geared up to score again, loaded, loaded I come alive in the neon light That's when I make my moves right Living after midnight, rockin' to the dawn Lovin' 'til the morning, then I'm gone, I'm gone Got gleaming chrome, reflecting steel, loaded, loaded Ready to take on every deal, loaded, loaded My pulse is racing, I'm hot to take This motor's revved up, fit to break Living after midnight, rockin' to the dawn Lovin' 'til the morning, then I'm gone, I'm gone I'm aiming for ya I'm gonna floor ya My body's coming All night long The air's electric, sparkin' power, loaded, loaded I'm getting hotter by the hour, loaded, loaded I set my sights and then home in The joint starts flying when I begin Living after midnight, rockin' to the dawn Lovin' 'til the morning, then I'm gone, I'm gone You Don't Have To Be Old To Be Wise
I've had enough of being programmed And told what I ought to do Let's get one thing straight I'll choose my fate And it's got nothing to do with you The years are flying by and it's time I got high Took a sample of the good things in life This is a chance I'm gonna take Gonna kick out trouble and strife I grow sick and tired of the same old lies Might look a little young So what's wrong You don't have to be old to be wise No I don't care that the people stare Accuse me of going mad Just get a long hard look into the mirror Then, tell me now who's been had The way things are going I won't get to show 'em Go single all the time's up to me So it's off with the ties No compromise Wanna taste what it's like to be free I grow sick and tired of the same old lies Might look a little young So what's wrong You don't have to be old to be wise I grow sick and tired of the same old lies Might look a little young So what's wrong You don't have to be old to be wise Alright, I'm gonna gather my things Go through the door Live and let live from now on At last a free hand, no longer pre-planned I got a will of my own I go as I please Fend for myself Pull all the stops, throw the dice Out on my own, gonna go it alone When I need it Then I'll ask for advice You don't have to be old to be wise You don't have to be old to be wise You don't have to be old to be wise You don't have to be old to be wise You don't have to be old to be wise You don't have to be old to be wise You don't have to be old to be wise
The Rage
From a fireball we came crossed sea and mountain We were drinking beauty with our eyes We were given all to make our own Let us be left alone Laid the tasks and paid the price Everything survives Crushed and bolted all the grain At every wind what a stake we're in Is pain better than the grave When we talk without amend We see red and then Deep inside our blood begins to boil Like a tiger in the cage We begin to shake with rage
Steeler
Catch the play now, eye to eye Don't let chances pass you by Always someone at your back Biding their time for attack Check for decoys, stay sharp edged Double-crossers get your head Carpet-baggers bluff and strike Kiss of Judas, spider like Waiting like jackals to sneak up and trick you Wolves in sheeps clothing, slow death in consoling Lurking in shadows, they pounce least expected When you come to, they'll have gone right through you Tricksters, jilters play their game Sleight-of-handers, all the same Masquerader in his lair Wants to tangle in your hair
