Drugs, God and the New Republic

Warrior Soul Drugs, God and the New Republic Lyrics
1.My Time

Lyricist:Clarke, Evans, Mcclanahan, Riccon

Violence, killin' my world
Silence from all the girls
Fired, the boss is a prick
Tired, the nation is sick

I'm exploding, yeah, I'm rejoicing
'Cause this is my time medicine on line
Plastic sunshine, the pleasure's all mine

Hated 'cause I love rock 'n' roll
Bankers love the money they stole
Gassed out on yesterday's dream
No one brother is blowin' my scene

I'm exploding, yeah, I'm rejoicing
'Cause this is my time, medicine on line
Plastic sunshine my time, get down

I'll be a hero in my own time
if I stand I know I'll shine
I'll be a hero in own time, in my own time

hey, hey boys workin' on the line we work metal to survive
but day to day pressure on my soul i have to scream when it's
out of control, now

I'll be a hero in own time
I'll be a hero in my own time

a hero in my own time, in my own time

hey, hey boys hear the wistle blow a hard day's done and it's
time for you go
as i walk out to the street crack a beer and my mind repeats,
now

I'll be a hero in my own time
I'll be a ero in my own time
if I stand I know I'll shine
I'll be a hero in my own time, in my own time

I'll be a hero in my own time

I'll be a hero I'll be a hero
I'll be a hero I'll be a hero in my own time


4.Rocket 88

Lyricist:Clarke, Evans, Mcclanahan, Riccon

My power got the cut off
I can't afford a phone
But you know that I'm electric
When I go out alone

You're comin' on like nitrous
You're loaded to the bone
You're looking like a princess
And now I'm sliding home

My eyeballs are burnin'
I got a head rash
Once I blast off you know
I'm burnin' all my gas

'Cause I'm a rocket rocket 88
'Cause I'm a rocket rocket 88

Livin' in the city
The city is my home
Ya know I dig the chickens
Ya know I like to bone

'Cause I'm a rocket rocket 88
'Cause I'm a rocket rocket 88


5.Interzone

Lyricist:Ian Kevin Curtis, Peter Hook, Stephen Paul Davi Morris,
Bernard Sumner

I walked through city limits
Someone took me in to do it
Attracted by some force within
It had to close my eyes to get close to it

Around the corner where prophet lay
Saw the place where she'd a room to stay
A wire fence where children play
Saw the bed where the body lay

And I was looking for a friend of mine
And I had no time to waste
Yeah, I was looking for some friends of mine

The car screeched in the sand and dust
Heard a noise, just a car outside
Metallic blue turned red with rust
Pulled in close by the building's side

In a group of forgotten youth, had to think
Collect my senses now
Turned on to a knife edge view
Find some place where my friends don't go

And I was looking for a friend of mine
Down the streets the houses looked the same
Getting drunker now, faces look the same

I walked round and round, no stomach torn apart
Nail me to a train, had to think again
Trying to find a clue, trying to find a way to get out
Trying to move away, had to move away and keep out

Four, twelve windows, ten in a row behind a wall
I looked down, low the lights shine like a neon show
Inserted deep felt a warmer glow

No place to stop, no place to go
No to time to lose, had to keep on going
I guess they died some time ago
I guess they died some time ago
And I was looking for a friend of mine


6.Jump For Joy

Lyricist:Clarke, Evans, Mcclanahan, Riccon

Needle boys in the park, rotten cops after dark
Politicians underground, no light can be found
All the pimps, all the whores, all demented religious wars
Evangelist so corrupt, arm out, palm up

Jump for joy, oh, jump for joy
Worlds end
Jump for joy, oh, jump for joy
Worlds end

All the oil that you pump, my world's a garbage dump
Land developed by the pigs, you consume everything
Bronze, iron turn to steel, eat your plastic at every meal
Drink the water then you choke your bank account, you're broke

Jump for joy, oh, jump for joy
Worlds end
Jump for joy, oh, jump for joy
Worlds end

Populations multiply, there are holes in the sky
TV man shit on you, you love to be screwed
Packaging maniac, guaranteed money back
A no-money superstar, the U.S. on credit cards

Jump for joy, oh, jump for joy
Worlds end
Jump for joy, oh, jump for joy
Worlds end

Silence descends as I walk astray
God please, keep me straight for just one more day
Times are bad, I hurt what can I do?
I just need some time alone with you

Here we are back again
We have come to the end
No use for you to cry


7.Man Must Live As One

Lyricist:Clarke, Evans, Mcclanahan, Riccon

Coming down two thousand years
Elements deep inside me
Eternal man conflict finds the tears
Wars opposite is understanding

Man must live, live as one
Man must live, live as one
The humans war has just begun
Man must live, live as one

Boundaries change and boundaries kill
The dead in fields all around me
Defied heroes in the hills
Told me they died to let us live free

Man must live, live as one
Man must live, live as one
The human war has just begun
Man must live, live as one

People run from a world in danger
Many consumed by their fear and anger
Say a prayer for all our nations
That we will live through our confrontations

Man must live, live as one
Man must live, live as one
The human war has just begun
Man must live, live as one

Man must live, live as one
Man must live, live as one
The human war has just begun
Man must live, live as one

Man must live as one


8.Drugs, God & The New Republic

Lyricist:Clarke, Evans, Mcclanahan, Riccon

Population, psych-out, someone feed 'em flies
And death and sex to hide their dead world
Softly singing through memories of truth
Killing is our business, cash for the cruel

Drugs, God and the new republic
Drugs, God and the new republic

Boards use capital gains lie on, on our government's trust
To pay off corporate mistakes, statues of Lincoln cry disciples
Eternal now, I'm dead, let the frequency phase out

Drugs, God and the new republic
Drugs, God and the new republic
Drugs, God and the new republic
Drugs, God and the new republic

Cosmic fire, dropouts, gasoline injectors
Sonic prophets screaming right on, standing at the crossroads
Showered in cast stones, the truth will be known
As we kick the king right off his throne

I'm the anti, anti king, I'm the anti, anti king
I'm the anti, anti king, I'm the anti, anti king


9.Children Of The Winter

Lyricist:Clarke, Evans, Mcclanahan, John Ricco

This fight's for you and me in the land of the free
The rock minority against hypocrisy
They crucify our words but they don't understand
We want a better world and a share of our land

They point at us but we're their children
We fight because they taught us to be free

The land where our fathers died
The land of the pilgrim's pride
Forced us to decide
If we stand or if we hide

Believe in me, we'll fight forever
Until we're free
We'll fight together, oh, ya come on down
Children of the winter walk into the springtime

The fathers fought a revolution
A fight for what we believe in
Our rights sown there's no confusion
I don't need to be forgiven to be forgiven

The land where our fathers died
The land of the pilgrim's pride
My hatred I can't hide
I'll kill before they take my rights

Come walk with me, we'll go to heaven
The world will be our dream together
Come take my hand rejoice forever
The promised land if we remember

Children of the winter
Walk into the springtime


10.The Answer

Lyricist:Clarke, Evans, Mcclanahan, Riccon

Plastic leaders seem like insects, tortured cities lost beyond
Pleasure films of landscape, dirt on royal gowns
The man said to cop, 'Religion, all I want is peace'
He said, 'This was the land of freedom but it's not for free'

But I found the answers
But I found the answers
Yeah, to the problems they're in my head
Man destroy the system

Heavy metal fire fading, lost again until the dawn
Psychedelic friction healing statues carved from Gods
Searching for our true believers, please count me as one
But you know I can't be your savior 'cause I need my own

But I found the answers
But I found the answers
Yeah, to the problems they're in my head
Man kill the administration

Heavy metal fire fading, lost again until the dawn
Little sister, she's been saying plastic prayers to God
Heavy metal fire fading, lost again until the dawn
Little sister, she's been saying plastic prayers to God

Find the answers, yeah, to your problems
Find the answers, yeah, to your problems
I've laid down Lord, I've laid down, Lord

Visualizing a cool breeze demolition
And sacred fevers on rivers weeping insanity
Builders of cities, destroyers of worlds
Kings of extinction, I am no longer yours


11.Real Thing

Lyricist:Clarke, Evans, Mcclanahan, Riccon

I don't need your big money
I don't need your girls
I don't need your rules and that's cool
To succeed I won't whore
I want you to rock, I give you more

'Cause I'm the real thing
Come on down and get the real thing
I'm the real thing
Come on down and get the real thing

I push the law and push the mind
Our government, well, I like to criticize
You shot me down but yet I survived
Never got nothing in this life
Without a fight and that's right

Push me down 'cause I want the truth
I'll keep on hittin' till I get through

'Cause I'm the real thing
Come on down and get the real thing
'Cause I'm the real thing
Come on down and get the real thing

I'm the real thing
Yeah, come on down
I'm the real thing
Yeah, better come on down


12.The Wasteland

Lyricist:Clarke, Evans, Mcclanahan, Riccon

Hey

Detroit got stupid, it was time to blow
I can't dig people when they play control
I rocked to Manhattan and what'd I see
Some great big buildings that could set me free

The bars are open all night
But that damn AIDS test got me so up tight
I said that damn AIDS test got me so uptight

Pay your money to the landlord
Donald Trump is just a money whore
Under my bed there's a baseball bat
Goddamn taxes gonna break my back

I'm in the wasteland, I'm in the wasteland
I'm in the wasteland, I'm in the wasteland
I'm in the wasteland, mama you know it's true
No motherfucker's gonna tell me what to do
I'm in the wasteland

The gangs are doin' drive-by's in L.A.
Quinn is drillin' ink and we're gettin' laid
Your shotgun cops are goin' to hell
L.A.P.D's got an awful smell

In Hollywood the scene's all there
Tommie's always got the drugs to go on a bender
Every time I go I never wanna come back
Breathe the summer air, you'll have a heart attack

You're in the wasteland, you're in the wasteland
You're in the wasteland, you're in the wasteland
You don't buy what the government sells
The goddamn President can go to hell
You're in the wasteland

Here we go

I can't live unless I'm free
You've gotta run to stay with me
I move from town to town
I'm livin' on the underground

Hey baby, come with me
I meet a lot of good company
To beat the system move around
It's the only way to freedom today

Find your freedom today
Find your freedom today
Find your freedom today
Find your freedom today

If I make bail, tell you where I'll go
Gonna cross the border into Mexico
Tequila's cheap as sunshine
Wind up bangin' everythin' in sight
I'm free and that's a fact
Once I leave I ain't never comin' back

I'm in the wasteland, I'm in the wasteland
I'm in the wasteland, I'm in the wasteland
I'm in the wasteland, yeah, I'm in the wasteland, yeah
I'm in the wasteland, yeah, I'm in the wasteland, yeah
I'm in the wasteland
