1.Riot
Inner City life
Is getting me down
Police and gang wars
All over town
Closing down our clubs
For no good reason
Hassle us on the street
Take away our freedoms
Oh oh we want a riot
Oh oh so sick and tired
Here come the riot squad
They're closing in
Guns and riot shields
And gas grenades
They see us standing there
All in a line
Black and white unite
Confrontations high
Oh oh we want a riot
Oh oh were sick and tired
Oh oh leave us alone
They have a justice bill
That's what they say
Now They have the power now
To put us away
There were four of us
Minding our own
We're a riotous assembly
Walking down the road
Oh oh we want a riot
Oh oh so sick and tired
Oh oh we wanna riot
Oh oh leave us alone!
2.Stranglehold
Lyricist:David Perez
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Gotta do a dance
And it goes like this
Yeah, some little girls got a hold on me
She's only 13 but, oh, so sweet
Got me down on my knees
Got a stranglehold on me
She puts her arms around me like a vice
It's, oh, so painful but nice
But I can only take once or twice
Got a stranglehold on me
Got a stranglehold on me
Got a stranglehold on me
Got a stranglehold on me
Stranglehold
3.Last Man Standing
You take the floor
You're gonna take a fall
It ain't so easy
In fact it's hard as hell
You're the last man standing
Give it some revs
Needle's flicking on red
Don't show no fear
You're in the twilight zone
You're the last man standing
Don't just settle for existence
You're a born survivor
Cuz everywhere you look
They're falling like skittles
You're the last man standing
4.Soho
The streets are narrow and broken down
But there's a heart in there beating
And every freak on every street
Plays out tonight - Go see them
Soho, don't you wanna go?
Steaming in Soho
There goes the king
In a stretched limousine
Passing by the beggar
Every door and ally churning out a beat
Rock 'n' Roll this is your future
Soho, don't you wanna go
Steaming in Soho
There is only one place in this world where the world is in one
place
So if you think that life's a drag
And it's getting you down
Get out, get that train
Just take a ride to Soho town
Soho, don't you wanna go
Steaming in Soho
5.Spoils Of War
The battle field is your market place
Reinforcements for the front
You don't care how long it takes
Just watch the body count
Spoils of war
Decades go rolling by
Another war, another killing
Acquisitions mounting high
Now you're the corporation
Spoils of war
No country - spoils of war
Starving children - spoils of war
Disease and famine - spoils of war
Look at the consequences
Build the walls higher and higher
More tanks, more barbed wire
And when the walls come down
There's always another Somalia
Spoils of war
6.Third World England
There's people dying of starvation
Children thrown on the streets and worse
There's torture and retribution
Has the third world come to us?
Road rage and city crime
Bus drivers stabbed to death
Bouquets and flowers on every corner
Someone's taken their very last breath
Young girls raped, petrol bombs
Everyday shoot outs in down town bars
Mortality rates climb and climb
First world country, third world crime
7.Universal
One's got a gun, the other's got a bigger one
Both have a set of rules
One's got an army, the other's got a bigger army
Both are led by fools
Assholes are universal
One size fits all
Assholes are universal
Universal asshole
Peace is for some, war is for everyone
Just pick up a gun
Shoot your brother, shoot your father
If you only had one
Assholes are universal
One size fits all
Assholes are universal
Universal asshole
We got a new frequency
It's loud and clear
A universal language
Radio without fear
Assholes are universal
One size fits all
Assholes are universal
Universal asshole
8.Hollywood
Film the streets, film the city
It ain't big, it ain't pretty
Anti-septic, clean and sterile
Wasted youth, distorted truth
I hate the way you walk
I hate the way you talk
I hate your empty smile
I hate your sense of style
I hate Hollywood
And I hate Hollywood
9.The Dark (Song For Rassle)
We have not come here to avenge
And this is not an act of pretense
Stay close to a friend
It was on the edge he met his end
There's a light out here into the dark
And a road that goes into the dark
Headlights in the dark
Coming down the road from the dark
Close the window, shut the shade
We don't wanna stand on parade
The night outside has no pity
As we drive from city to city
And the road ahead goes into the dark
And while you sleep, we're into the dark
On and on into the dark
Till all is gone from the dark
I stay awake, watch you sleep
It's the underworld which I seek
And the lost boys are not lost
They're all out here on a cross
And if you stay with me I'll take you out of the dark
Down the road out of the dark
Don't feel afraid, it's only the dark
So take my hand I'll lead you out of the dark
10.Fragile
I'd like to know what's going on
Everything I do is wrong
Everything I say is out of place
If you smile you'll break your face
Fragile - I don't dare to breathe
Fragile - catch your disease
Fragile - walking on thin ice
Fragile - living a lie
Schizophrenic, I'm paranoid
Everything I do, I have to think twice
I can't stand up, and I can't sit down
Now what do I do when you're around?
Fragile - I dare not breathe
Fragile - catch your disease
Fragile - walking on thin ice
Fragile - living a lie
You run away, I'm all alone
It's Saturday morning when you come home
I don't say nothing, don't even breathe
Just one word, I'm dead meat
Fragile - I can hardly breathe
Fragile - feel my disease
Fragile - walking on thin ice
Fragile - living a lie
11.White Lie
Life's a breeze
You say with glee
But it's the passion
You can't achieve
Suit and tie
The life you lead
But it's your big head
So fat with greed
You waste your life
The white lie will not possess me
A life of worth
Means more to me
Suffering
The people under you scream
Your lack of interest
You're fat and pleased
Upper-class
You're the one I hate
If we had our way
You'd burn at the stake
You waste your life
The white lie will not possess me
A life of worth
Means more to me
You waste your life
The white lie will not possess me
A life of worth
Means more to me
Life's a breeze
You say with glee
But it's the passion
You can't achieve
Suit and tie
The life you lead
But it's your big head
So fat with greed
You waste your life
The white lie will not possess me
A life of worth
Means more to me
12.Don't Blame Islam
Don't blame Islam, don't blame the church
Mutilation is the brave new world
Don't blame Islam, don't blame the church
We did not steal your humanity
Religion is evil
Rape of the poor
Don't blame Islam, don't blame the church
They never killed in the name of God
Don't blame Islam, don't blame the church
For the orphans and the hungry children
Religion is evil
Don't blame Islam, don't blame the church
For Jihad crusade
Don't blame Islam, don't blame the church
For ritualized slaughter
Religion is evil
The rape of the poor
13.CID
See that man dressed in black
Pass him by don't look back
Keep in a line and walk straight ahead
One false move could be dead
'Cos he's an underground undercover agent for the CID
CID, CID
Got a loaded 44
Walking armoury store
Take a tip and hear what I say
Don't take no trip down Soho way
If you do you better keep in a line
Make one false move could be doing time
'Cos he's an underground undercover agent for the CID
CID, CID
Got a loaded 44
Walking armoury store
Watch it
Take a tip and hear what I say
Don't take no trip down Soho way
If you do you better keep in a line
Make one false move could be doing time
'Cos he's an underground undercover agent for the CID
CID, CID
Got a loaded 44
Walking armoury store
14.I Couldn't Be You
15.I Live In A Car
Well I live in a car,

Well I ain't got no television set or stereo
Cos I live in a car
Don't try to call me up on the telephone
Cos I won't be home,

16.Emotional Blackmail
Yeaaaahhhh
And you died the other day
They took you away
To your hospital bed
Keep screwing up my head with
Emotional blackmail
Emotional blackmail
Emotional blackmail
Emotional blackmail
In this game of survival
There's too many rivals
You sink or you swim
Why bother jumping in
And now I can't go home
To razor cuts on bone
Rooms splashed with blood
Needles dipped in mud and
Emotional blackmail
Emotional blackmail
Emotional blackmail now
Emotional blackmail
17.Endangered Species
18.Organised Crime
There's a man who takes your wallet
There's a man who takes your beer
There's a man who takes your woman
There's a man who just takes you
He's a government official
That's what his papers say
He's a government official
And he takes you every day
There's a man who takes your cigarettes
There's a man who takes your car
There's a man who takes the piss out of you
But the biggest thief by far
He's a government official
Knocking on your door
He's a government official
Coming back for more
He's organised
Organised crime
Organised crime

Organised crime

There's a man who takes your place in the queue
There's a man who just takes you
He's a government official
Checking up on you
He's a government official
There's nothing you can do
He's organised
Organised crime

19.Tomorrow's Girls
20.Teenage
Baby won't you buy me a brand new suit
Like they wore in '62
I wanna be in the latest craze
I wanna be in the news
Wanna get my name on the front page
'Cos my suit was all the rage
Teenage
I wanna be teenage
I wanna be teenage
I wanna be
Baby won't you buy me a pair of wheels
Ten lights and shiny chrome steel
You can be my Lambretta lover
Put your fox furs on my grill
Get your face on the TV screen
You know you're my teenage dream
Baby won't you buy me a real flash car
Tail fins and wire mag wheels
We'll ride on down the freeway
With the police on our heels
Flashing on their speed trap screen
Fastest thing they've ever seen
21.Crash Course
Meet Mr. Media man
He's got the money he's got a plan
Come on and get a crash course
We'll tell you everything we know
Come on and get a crash course
Go where you wanna go
Go to Hollywood meet the stars
No gasoline in their cars
Come on and get a crash course
See you picture in a magazine
Come on and get a crash course
See your face on the TV screen
National network World Service
World domination 'cos you deserve it
Come on and get a crash course
22.Cross Fire
I don't wanna live in Yardyland
Every juvenile delinquent has a gun in his hand
I got a problem with my drugs
I can never, never, never, never, never get enough
I gotta pack, I gotta run
I can't sit here like a smoking gun
So many geese is flying south
Like the lies from your mouth
Crossfire
There's a sniper on the roof
Dogs are barking in the yard
There's the sheriff up a tree
Hey, mr Policeman don't shoot me
23.Papers Lie
Today's papers are in the dock
The jury's out, circulation's up
Need the headlines, believe them or not
Fat cat gets eaten by fatter dog
Another exclusive from the street of shame
A sixteen year old girl takes her clothes off again
We hate pedophiles, we'd have them all killed
But don't worry none, she's on the pill
We want a free press
Don't need abuse
Don't need your egos
We just want news but
24.Custody
Custodians of the law
Protect the rich and fuck the poor
Neighborhood is shot and gone
Surrounded by shit we live on
Custodians of the law
Protect the rich, fuck the poor
Gonna leave this place
Gonna leave this town
Gonna get a ride
Don't wanna be
Neighborhood is burning down
Leave this city, go leave this town
25.Devolution
Dehumanise - devolution
Marginalise - devolution
Deforestise - devolution
Terrorise - devolution
The mother of revolution
You know the prize of everything
And the value of nothing
Live is cheap - devolution
You're in the way - devolution
To the corporation - devolution
You're just human waste
(Devolution) is the mother of revolution
You know the prize of everything
And the value of nothing
Dehumanise - devolution
Marginalise - devolution
Terrorise - devolution
Deforestise - devolution
The mother of revolution
You know the prize of everything
And the value of nothing
26.On My Way
This is what you wanna
And this is what you get
This is not a cabaret
And no nostalgia trip
Drinking, stinking
Trip to the bone
I'm ugly, obnoxious
? And defenseless ?
I'm on my way - one thing left to say
I'm on my way - goodbye
You get up there, a beer in your hand
? and you can hardly stand
And now you're all saucy
And you don't give a fuck
Now this is the irony, that you don't understand
I'm on my way - just one thing to say
I'm on my way - goodbye
Yes I'm on my way - one thing left to say
I'm on my way - goodbye
27.Warhead
Soldiers of Islem are loading their guns
They're getting ready
But the Russian tanks are mowing them down
They're getting ready
There's children in Africa with tommy guns
Getting ready
While the Islam armies are beckoning on
They're getting ready
There's a burning sun
And it sets in the western world
But it rises in the east
And pretty soon
It's gonna burn your temples down
While the heads of state are having their fun
Are they ready?
We're looking at the world through the barrel of a gun
Are we ready?
And you stand there beating on your little war drum
Are you ready?
And it won't be long before your time has come
Are you ready?
Warhead, warhead, warhead
Warhead, warhead, warhead
Warhead, warhead, warhead
Warhead, warhead, warhead
Well I don't know what it is but I feel something coming
Stuck in the middle of the Yankees and the Russians
Better get moving guns are getting loaded
Fast to the border where the tanks are a rolling
There's a nation in fear another nation crying
One nation killing and another nation dying
Talk about guns and escalation bye bye planet let alone a nation
28.Limo Life
I'm sitting here and I wonder why
Could this be true
I'm a dog I am selfish
And did I really do this to you
One day I'll wake up from this dream
And I'll wonder where I am
This God forsaken everybody's taken
It's a nowhere land
All I need is a little bit of action
You can't take five in this limo life
So what's the satisfaction
The rock and roll hall's downtown
They don't know my name
I could be Valentino
To them it's just a game
I stand naked on the street
I scream 'til I'm blue
Nobody sees nobody hears
I'm only passing through
All I need is a little bit of action
But you can't take five in this limo life
So what's the big attraction
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Don't look at me so seriously
What did I say
I am lost then I'm found
Doesn't matter anyway
One day I'm gonna break on through
To the ....??......???
'Til that day comes along
Down the road I go, just looking
All I need is a little bit of action
But you can't take five in this limo life
So what's the big attraction
All I need is a little bit of action
But you can't take five in this limo life
So what's the big attraction
All I need is a little bit of action
But you can't take five in this limo life
So what's the big attraction
All I need is a little bit of action
But you can't take five in this limo life
So what's the big attraction
29.New York State Police
Headlights flashing me
It's the New York State Police
Slow down buddy, pull over there

Where you come from, are you putting me on
It's the New York State Police
Come on boys let's go downtown
It's the New York State Police
