1.Blown Away
The cash flows out
The drugs flow in
The nations rage
While the children sin
Officials addicted to dough
The bankers grin
But we all know
They can't stop it
'Cause they're linin'
Their pockets
We're blown away
In the U.S.A.
We're blown away
Every single day
They can't stop it
'Cause they're buying
Their rockets
We're blown away
In the U.S.A.
We're blown away
Every single day
Can you dig it
Yeah
Overseas
They love our green
Keep as happy
With your little machines
We live on credit
We live on dope
There's no promises
When you're livin' on hope
We're blown away
In the U.S.A.
We're blown away
Every single day
Kiss the sunshine
We're blown away
In the U.S.A.
We're blown away
In the U.S.A.
We're blown away
Every single day
Oh ho yeah
Kiss the sunshine
Goodbye
2.Charlie's Out Of Prison
Lyricist:Steve Cropper, Rufus Thomas
In Detroit, there's a man
He's in charge of the action
Put a gun in your face
And he gets a reaction
Has a beeper and a car
I was his driver
Running drugs across the country
I was the survivor
I'm innocent of anything
I'm innocent but he's coming
Charlie's out of prison
Charlie's out of prison
Charlie's out of prison
In Detroit, they make guns
Lot's a cars, lot's a criminals
You get big, you get hard
But you don't get too successful
Small time world
Small time racket
Push yourself to the brink
Just to sell another packet
I'm innocent of anything
I'm innocent but he's coming
Charlie's out of prison
Charlie's out of prison
Charlie's out of prison
Charlie's out of prison
Broke doors, broke windows
Broken reasons of my mind
Weakened by, desperation
The seduction of crime
Meaning of death, means nothing
When you need to survive
Caught believing in my life
A flash in eternal time
Yeah, yeah
Charlie's out of prison
3.Downtown
Lyricist:Clarke, Evans, Mcclanahan, Riccon
I've been out all night
Think I got in a fight
There's a hole in my arm
My bitch is alarmed
I was at the bar
Where I'm a superstar
Livin' on free drinks
Hey man, your band stinks
That's the way we live
Downtown
Our feet never hit the
Ground, ground
Ground, ground, yeah
'Cause I hate my mother
I hate the world
I told my father
Some more bull
I hate the system
And I break the law
But I'm at home
When I'm downtown
Yeah, down
It's Saturday night
My boys are wound up tight
Slip on a skin
Put the sucker in
Five minutes to go
You got a Marlboro
Bust in some joint
Maybe, find some points
That's the way we live
Downtown
Our feet never hit the
Ground, ground
Ground, ground, yeah
'Cause I hate my mother
I hate the world
I told my father
Some more bull
I hate the system
And I break the law
But I'm at home
When I'm downtown, yeah
I came, I conquered
Escaped the slaughter
I live undaunted
Let me take you with me
I think you'll dig the scene
'Cause, ya hate your mother
Ya hate the world
Ya told your father
Some more bull
Ya hate the system
And break the law
But you'll be at home
Come on downtown
That's the way we live
Downtown
I'll be seeing you
Downtown, downtown
Downtown, downtown
Downtown
4.In Conclusion
Lyricist:Brian Culbertson, Dave Koz, Rick Braun
In conclusion say a prayer for us
We must say goodbye if we meet again
Please remember why we say goodnight
Take good care now all earth's children
Learn from wisdom's cry
Hear the unspoken see without sight
Learn yourself inside
Media children pacified
Information classified
Governments hide behind religion
Kids like us get thrown in prison
We come to, we come to
We come to conclusion
We come to conclusion
In conclusion please be wary
Where authority reigns control tightens
As we sleep a false security
All our leaders answer to silent bosses
Where profit fills their greed
Think before action learn before acceptance
Decide what you should be
Media children pacified crosses stand
Where the dead man died
Governments hide behind religion
Kids like us get thrown in prison
We come to, we come to
We come to conclusion
We come to conclusion
We come to conclusion
Say a prayer for us
That we don't lose our way
While freedom lies there dying
We are there to hold it's hand
Take all the children holy
To the river of dead
Make them drink it's waters lonely
So they can learn what we had
Media children pacified
Information classified
Governments hide behind religion
Kids like us get thrown in prison
We came to, we came to
We came to conclusion
We come to conclusion
We come to conclusion
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye freedom
Goodbye
5.I See The Ruins
I am the child of the new generation
The product of total frustration
Lost in the void of the social soup
Yesterday's plans went away
I saw ya standing there cold
So I picked up on the usual topic
I feel the pain of a thousand wars
I got no problems man
I got no problems man
I got no problems man
I live in TV land
I'm an electronic image
Beamin' out to you
I see the ruins
I know we're losin'
We love our weapons
Blown into heaven
We're out of time
We're out of mind
Completely blind to nature's sign
And we got nothing
Wasted in prison
A bad decision
You run to nowhere
You're blown forever
We stand confused
On hard times
Can't break away
From our crimes
This is the world
You have no choice
Now we're gone
We play the fools
We breaks the rules
We rape the earth, a blinded purge
And we got nothin'
Hate is a fire
It does not tire
You run to nowhere
You're blown forever
We stand confused
On hard times
Can't break away
From our crimes
This is the world
You have no choice
Now we're gone
We stand confused
On hard times
Can't break away
From our crimes
This is the world
You have no choice
Now we're gone
I see the ruins
I know we're losin'
We walk the wasteland
Stripped down from God's hand
We live confused
Completely used
I love you
Wasted
6.Lullaby
Lyricist:Steven John Bailey, Susan Janet Ballion, Peter Clarke
Go to sleep in my arms
A soul to keep from all harm
I lie awake in a crystal calm
Your face so sweet till the end of time
A lullaby
Makes you feel better
The world's all but died
But we're together
A lullaby
Makes you feel better
The hatred outside
Really doesn't, really doesn't matter
Go to sleep my baby
Go to sleep right next to me
You found the way from what you've lost
The pain is great as you pay the cost
A lullaby
Makes you feel better
The world's all but died
But we're together
A lullaby
Makes you feel better
The hatred outside
Really doesn't, really doesn't matter
A lullaby
Makes you feel better
The world's all but died
But we're together
A lullaby
Makes you feel better
The hatred outside
Really doesn't, really doesn't matter
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter
It doesn't matter
7.Superpower Dreamland
We come through the windows
We bust down the door
We cut through the ceilings
And pop up from the floor
The children are angry
And they come pouring in
We're searching for justice
From our governments
In every face in this place
I see trouble
In every face in this place
I see trouble
Let's rumble
We tear down the paintings
We tear down the sculpture
You call it destruction
Yeah, but that's what ya taught us
Busted dreamland
The country rots
This is your payback
For three trillion bucks
In every face in this place
I see trouble
In every face in this place
I see trouble
If any pigs outside
Do not hide we will rumble
In every face in this place
I see trouble
Let's rumble
Superpower dreamland
Superpower dreamland
Superpower dreamland
Superpower dreamland
Superpower dreamland
Superpower dreamland
Superpower dreamland
Superpower dreamland
It's a superpower dreamland
You're livin' in a dreamland
A superpower dreamland
A superpower dreamland
8.The Losers
Lyricist:Clarke, Evans, Mcclanahan, Riccon
Have you ever wanted to be someone you're not?
But you look into the world and you see what you've got
There's nothin' there but brains and guts
Finally open the door and then it shuts
Look to the center and I'll think you'll find
The people that are gettin', they are blind
You changed the channel and there's nothin' there
You weren't born pretty and it isn't fair
Here's to the losers
The substance abusers
To the rejects
All the imperfects
'Cause I think we're beautiful
'Cause I think we're beautiful
'Cause I think we're beautiful
No matter what anyone says
I think we're beautiful
The most beautiful in the world
You try for jobs but they say you're strange
You're sportin' a style that they call pain
So you get in trouble and your brain is gone
You're cryin' out, man, but the words are wrong
Here's to the losers
The substance abusers
To the rejects
All the imperfects
'Cause I think we're beautiful
'Cause I think we're beautiful
'Cause I think we're beautiful
No matter what anyone says
I think we're beautiful
The most beautiful in the world
I know you're tired of being put down
And all the crap that's said in town
But you're the person that matters most
I raise my glass and make a toast
Here's to the losers
The substance abusers
To the rejects
All the imperfects
To the retarded
And the broken hearted
To the starving masses
And the lower classes
'Cause I think we're beautiful
'Cause I think we're beautiful
'Cause I think we're beautiful
No matter what anyone says
I think we're beautiful
9.Trippin' On Ecstasy
Lyricist:Clarke, Evans, Mcclanahan, Riccon
No more pain, I'm almost there
I'm a cellophane pioneer
I'm ridin' hard I'm takin' off
You look so pretty when you are near
M D M A
Trippin' on ecstasy
Trippin' on ecstasy
Now, I'm free
My planet's dead and I'm the king
I'm in love with everything
I'm losing weight, my mind's a wreck
But I'm in touch with my feelings
M D M A
Trippin' on ecstasy
Trippin' on ecstasy
I'm trippin' on ecstasy
Trippin' on ecstasy
Now I'm free, free, free
No one can catch me
Look at me again, I can see again
Look at me again, I can see again
Look at me again, I can see again
Look at me again, I can see again
Hit the mother lode, I drop two more hits
I'm on a power drive
I don't get sick, I can touch the sky
And no one knows, I'm alive
M D M A
Trippin' on ecstasy
Trippin' on ecstasy
Trippin' on ecstasy
Trippin' on ecstasy
Now I'm free
Look at me again, I can see again
I can see again, I can see again
10.We Cry Out
People hear what I say
Child nation she's blown away
Bravery is our distinction
Goodbye rock nation
Goodbye
Become one and you know
We will live through
The show
When our world is dead
Questions rock your head
When all boundaries die, Lord
All men realize
We cry out
Rock culture
We cry out
Rock culture
(And the words of truth go by)
War child
Baby we lived hard
Finally know
How strong we are
Oh, yeah
Dying leaders
You can stay at home
Our new culture
Stands on its own
On our own
Become one and you know
We will live through
The show
When our world is dead
Questions rock your head
When all boundaries die, Lord
All men realize
We cry out
Rock culture
(Can you hear me)
We cry out
Rock culture
(And I know we're out there)
We cry out
Rock culture
We cry out
Your future
We cry out
Rock cult
Rock cult
Rock culture
11.Four More Years
Playing wild, the dying children
From the gutter they spawn
A life created of indignation
Pride and seeker pause
Pig city, oil creation
Over sex-dose, the junk machine crawls
Missing is the laughter from the death bus
While the eternal human war rages on
Can you believe how little you care?
The friendly face of the empire leader
Conquest of style, ego hate
Walk amongst the ancient dogs
While the violence kills the declined state
Have you eaten today?
I am glad
Your digestion is the sorrow of the hungry
So tired of rejection and stupidity
Cut away to Grey man
Isolation room, a crowd gathers
Fade to riot
As the furor screams deliverance
The claws of the predatory corporation dig deep
Into the niave religion culture
Acceptance, blind virtue
Their reason taunts the absurd
The beggar, he feeds the anger
As you burn sorrow's last word
Pain create the answer holy
Learn the lesson passion learned
Hate the teachers, oh so saintly
I kiss the pyre as it burned
Our need flows on, but we feel nothing
While emotion kills with no remorseful deathblow from Jesus
Only you can turn the key to unlock the tortured riches inside
your soul
And find the reason we live
Like some sort of God rejection
Place the blame on heads that turned
You watch the dagger rip through masses
As wheat and grain and corn dry into a hatred reality
Screaming into a vengeful pit
Pitiful scream!!
The heart goes forward hating
Wanting life that cannot be attained
Justice seeker, pray for vengeance
The purist life is marred and stained
I want the World to heal
I want the world to love
But it cannot
Four more years
Four more years
Four more years
Four more years
Four more years
Four more years
Four more years
Four more years
