1.Oh Serena

Oh serena! Oh serena! Oh serena!
I know what they're sayin about you.
Oh serena! Oh serena! Oh serena!
I know what they're sayin about you
they all say it's a resistance.
they all say that ya ya didn't listen.
well they all have scars on their eyes, it's true.
Oh serena! Oh serena! Oh serena!
I know what they're sayin about you
night and day is like a haunted replay.
I know it girl i'll pray for you
just remember it's not stronger than you..

oh serena! Oh serena! Oh serena!
I know what they're saying about you.

you tasted death, but, I'll shed the night,
night irreverant all the time, carneleby is a bit of you.
time to feel it, time to fix it.
time to lure it, oh no time to miss it,
time to lure this stone cold weather,
time alone and time away, I know what they say..

Oh serena! Oh serena! Oh serena!
I know what they're saying about you.
I know the pains inside you
I know what they're saying about you
..it's not true..


2.Idoless

I don't know but I know it
You better find out what your place is
Urban plight is in the city streets
It's infectious and it's complacent

Idoless! idoless! idoless! idoless!

Over expression and rationed, assimilated temptation
Integregation. molested, accosted, detested

Ill wreck this coming down like the apocalypse

Idoless-syndication

I don't know but I know it
You better find out what your name is
Arrested, infested, its your collective
Coming off like you wrote the ten commandments

Idoless! idoless! idoless! idoless!

I don't know but I know it
You better find out what your place is
Urban plight is in the city streets
It's infectious and you are complacent

Idoless! idoless! idoless! idoless!

The idol is within you
Watch it come on through
The idol is within you
Watch it come on through

4.L.A. Girl

This is the story
about a circle of women
LA women
On an LA mission
This is the glory
Gonna get their hooks in
Gonna drag you way down,
Yeah, you wanna go home soon?
Yeah, god almighty what the fuck happened to you?
I'm not red, white, and blue
Outta mind outta sight
Every day and all night
I watch you pale ass on their street,
I watch you walk on through
Then she want glassy
A sawn off tragedy
A deliverance in the city
A new beginning Power
and the glory in the name of the enemy
You sell your restless casualty
for power and glory
God almighty what the fuck happened to you
Cause I am not red, white, and blue
Outta mind outta sight
Every day and all night
I watch you pale ass on the street,
I watch you walk on through
Hey yeah yeah yeah
Oh baby
Do I miss you Do I miss you Do I miss you at all
I don't miss you at all
Fuck you Oh, fuck you! fuck you!

6.Ask The Angels

Moooooove!
Ask the angels who they're calling,
Go ask the angels if they're calling to thee
Ask the angels while they're falling
Who that person could possibly be
And I know you got the feeling,
You know, I feel it crawl across the floor
And I know it got you reelin'
And honey honey the call is for war

And it's wild wild wild wild.

Everybody got the feelin'
You know the feeling and it's stronger each day
Everybody wants to be reelin'
And baby baby I'll show you the way
And I know it's hard sometimes,
You got a piece and hit across the sky
And I know it's hard sometimes
And world war is the battle cry

And it's wild wild wild wild

Across the country through the fields
You know I see it written 'cross the sky
People rising from the highway
And war war is the battle cry

And it's wild wild wild wild.

Armageddon, it's gotten
No savior jailer can take it from me
World ending, it's just beginning
And rock and roll is what I'm born to be

And it's wild wild wild wild
Wild wild wild wild

Ask the angels if they're startin' to move
Comin' in droves in from L.A.
Ask the angels if they're starting to groove
Lightning as armor and it's today

It's wild wild wild wild
Wild wild wild wild.


7.Old Scratch

Heres the chance to express your liberty
Noone but you can know what stepping down can mean
Despotic leader kills the bravest traitor on the street

But keep the faith they say theyll free us from our pain
They sell you a religious escapade
You join the church and they take your life away

Shameless money eat your money eat your vultures quick
But keep the faith, they say theyll free us from our pain
But your liberty is exchanged I said your liberty is exchanged
But your liberty is exchanged I said your liberty is exchanged
And then I die


8.Girlfixer

No more coquettish look on your face
Not so much pretty but you're in your place
Hide behind your man,
Don't dare to think for you
Keep your claws off me as I walk on through
Walk on through,
Don't you glare
I'm not the kind of girl who will just pull on your hair
I won't be through,
Till you're blue
Walk on through
Just us two
What are you gonna do?
Damn man, come on and sell your seconds
No on can make ya make ya break ya
Anyway anyway I will make ya, they'll crown me
Never used to harm no-one,
No matter what the reason
Now you dug your grave
And it's bitch hunting season
Smiling madly (you're insane) honey
When I see you around
I'll get you on the ground
It's not my plan to steal your man,
It's a pitiful sight that's hard to stand
I guess I dont get a clue
So step your ass aside and let me walk on fucking through
Damn man come on and sell your second
No one can make ya break ya
Anyway anyway I'll make you, they'll crown me.


9.Open Sky

Open sky, open ether, open rise-up inside

10.Red Carpet And Rebellion

Red carpet and rebellion
Makes ya wonder at the established ones
They aint out to get ya
Cause your a mile.. away

I heard a siren, a city warning , they said a new
Dawn arrives in the morning.. so I wait out tonight
For the, the new sunrise
They laid me to rest with an, an aberration
I woke up the living dead colossally mistaken
I ran through the streets where i, I break down

There aint no money there aint no time
Yeah im outta my mind dont wanna waste this away
Shamed when I am; shamed when I'm not
The configuration of the american dream

The palace died and the streets were burning
The red horizon came crashing through the morning
There was no contentment only blood shed
Red blood and social discontent bruised by puritan
Oh puritan exempt its like a peasant uprising

Chorus

St petersburg, 1905
Father garpan led the protest.. up inside.. up inside..
distillers break down
Yeah, we are gone, oh yeah, we are gone, we are gone, we are
gone, oh yeah,

Red carpet and rebellion
Makes ya wonder why they smell so bad
They aint out to get ya cause your a mile away


11.Colossus U.S.A.

Whatcha live for when you noone
What ya do and where ya come from
You call I feel a lack of grace
A certain disconnection
Dissapated understanding
Seems like second slitting
Seems like second slitting
In a third world company

I know what you wanted
I know that you want it, want it

Well hell yeah
Dont walk away
Dont walk away
Dont walk away

Shit

I met a man on the street
He said this is poverty
Down-town on broadway st
I dont really know his name
He said live in the world not for gain

I know what you want, hey
I know that you want it, want it
I know what you wanted
I know that you want it


12.Blackheart

The one time
You lied
You were high, so high
My life in my time
You walk black lines

Hey clean your mess
Hey youre a mess

The one time
I lied .. all the time
My life and in my time
You walk black lines

Hey dont I need this
Hey dont I need this

Fuck


13.Gypsy Rose Lee

When I see you lay down
Under
Pink lacquered skies
Baby,
I'll give you something
That'll shut your eyes
To this mess

When I love you baby
I mean it more than
just the whole world
And when,
I take a picture
thats instant
Lost tonight
oh baby it burns

I said
I remember it so
I saw your eyes
Go through the tunnel
and I remember
Australian sun
I was eight years old
You were Marilyn Monroe

oh ya gotta take it
oh yeah take it on
playing backyard Blues
blackheart stuck up in their jaw
I can nail
I'll nail this on
Oh she ain't the whole world

Break it down

Oh I've tasted
I tasted too
too many nights
Lost in space
I remember
kneeling down
On my knees
caught in the ground

When I love you baby
I mean it more than just
the whole world
And when
saw gypsy rose
Gypsy rose
she rose to me

I remember
a rolling stone
Oh rolling on down
through your bones
Oh ya gotta save,
you gotta save your soul
well She ain't
the whole world

When I love you baby
I mean it more than just
the whole world
And when
saw gypsy rose
Gypsy rose
she rose to me Baby

I love you baby
I mean it more than just
the whole world
And well
when I know your sin
I know your sin
I know your wings


14.The Blackest Years

Oh berlin! Your heart has been, drawn and quartered again
The east and the west were divided by, a wall that staunched
their freedom
Well the wall came down in 1989
But its ghost still refuses to leave
These hauntings are so reputative
Theres a bit of you in me... Lets go!

Oh berlin! Your life is on fire, it burns, deep within this,
heart of mine
You got, astronamical, economical, suffering for a century
And when the ocean swells that day I'll, get on my ship
And I'll, sail away all this shit I'm on this ship

And when you're all alone, don't forget me
And when I'm all alone I won't forget you
And when you're all alone don't forget me
Cause I'm on the wrong side of the tracks
But I did not know until you turned your back
I'm livin' the blackest years, of my life
But I did not know until you said goodbye
Goodbye

Oh berlin! Your witness stands here
On this cityshamed kinda day
I'm going home, hey x 15

And when you're all alone, don't forget me
And when I'm all alone, I won't forget you
And when you're all alone, don't forget me
Cause I'm on the wrong side of the tracks
But I did not know until you turned your back
I'm livin' the blackest years of my life
But I did not know until you said goodbye
Goodbye!
