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

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 - 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 - ain't gonna waste this life

There's no tomorrow - you ain't gonna live it for me

There's no tomorrow

BAD HABIT

Hey 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 makes me insane

I open the glove box

Reach inside

I'm gonna wreck this fucker's ride

I guess I got a bad habit

And it ain't goin' away Yeah

Well they say the road's a dangerous place

If you flip me off I'm the danger you'll face

You drive on my ass

You're foot's on the gas

And your next breath is your last

Drivers are rude

Such attitudes

But when I show my piece

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

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 they'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

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 friends cause they all bug

Life is 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

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

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 they 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

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 to decide

But it's not

SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN

I believe that reality's gone

Disillusion's real

I believe that morality's gone

And there's nothing to feel

If you take the sacred things

The things that we hold dear

Empty promise is all you'll find

So give me something

Something to believe in

I believe in a changing of the guard

Put our feet on the ground

See it happen in your own background

Everything breaks down

Do you accept what you are told

Without even thinking

Throw it all and make your own

And give me something

Something to believe in

Where they lead

You will follow

Well I guess that's just the way it goes

And if you look away

You'll be doing what they say

And if you look alive

You'll be singled out and tried

If you take home anything

Let it be your will to think

The more cynical you become

The better off you'll be

COME OUT AND PLAY

You gotta 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 they catch you slippin' then it's all over pal

If one guys colors and the others don't mix

They're gonna bash it up

Hey - man you talkin' back to me?

Take him out

You gotta keep 'em separated

Hey - man you disrespecting me?

Take him out

You gotta keep 'em separated

Hey they don't pay no mind

If you're under 18 you won't be doing any time

Hey 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

It goes down the same as the thousand before

No one's getting smarter

No one's learning the score

Your never ending spree of death and violence and hate

Is gonna tie your own rope

Chorus

SELF ESTEEM

I wrote her off for the tenth time today

And practiced 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've 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 so

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 stick 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 a 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

Superpowers flex their wings

Hold the world on puppet strings

Egos will feed

While citizens bleed

That's always the way it goes

When will the world listen to reason

I've got a feeling it'll be a long time

When will the truth come in to season

I've got a feeling it'll be a long time

All they want is what they can defend

Before their time is up

Make the same mistakes again

Heard it all before

Superpowers flex their wings

Hold the world on puppet strings

Egos will feed

While citizens bleed

That's always the way it goes

Well if they tried

Maybe they'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

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

He just a Killboy Powerhead...yeah

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

Killboy Powerhead

Killboy Powerhead...yeah

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

Man you're really losin' it

And you've really done a lot of junk now

But you keep 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

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 refrain from just facing your life

So I'll see you man 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

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

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

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 wieght 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 they 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 not the ones whose pollution balcked our skies

And ruined the 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

They'll suffer just the same as we and never wonder why

SMASH

Head over heals I've fit in before

Now I don't want to 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

I'm not a trendy asshole

I do what I want

I do what I feel like

I'm not a trendy asshole

I don't fuck if it's good enough for you

Cause I'm 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 heals 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
