Thrash Unreal - Against Me

If she wants to dance and drink all night
then there’s no one that can stop her.
She’s going until the house lights come up
or her stomach spills onto the floor.
This night is going to end when we’re damn well ready
for it to be over.
Worked all week long
now the music is playing on our time.
We do what we do to get by,
and then we need a release

You get mixed up with the wrong guys.
You get messed up on the wrong drugs.
Sometimes the party takes you places
that you didn’t really plan on going.
When people see the track marks on her arms
she knows what they’re thinking.
She keeps on working for that minimum,
as if a high school eductaion offered any other options.
They don’t know nothing about redemption.
They don’t know nothing about recovery.
Some people just aint the type for marriage and family.

No mother ever dreams
that her daughters going to grow up to be a junkie.
No mother ever dreams
that her daugherrs going to grow up to sleep alone.

She’s out of step with the style.
She don’t know where the actions happening.
You know the downtown club scene
aint nothing like it used to be.
You reach a point where there’s not a lie in the world
that you could use to make the boys
believe your still in you twenties.
She’s not waitng for them to come over
and ask for the privledge.
She can still hear that Rebel Yell
just as loud as it was in 1983.
There aint no Johnny coming home
to share a bed with her and she doesn’t care.

No mother ever dreams
that her daughters going to grow up to be a junkie.
No mother ever dreams
that her daughters going to grow up to sleep alone.
If she had to live it all over again
you know she wouldn’t change anything for the world.

White People For Peace - Against Me



East and West could not agree
So their generals gave call
Gathered troops at the border
With guns and ready, drawn and aimed
Each side was praying to a god
To bless them with strength and courage
And it was in his name artillery lit the sky on fire
The people sang protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun

Protest Songs in response to Military Aggression
Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun
But the battle raged on......

Sirens filled the air and the ground shook with war
Civilian casualties had been a cost that was predetermined
When interviewed for report victims plead in frustration
Their claim: That this was a war without reason
Bureacrats engaged in debate to try and reach a resolution
The people sang protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun

Protest Songs in response to Military Aggression
Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun
Protest Songs in response to Military Aggression
Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun
But the battle raged on......

The Broadcast like their prayers went unanswered and ignored
God, like the rest of the world, just watched in silence
There was purpose to be served, there were fortunes to be earned
Before a peace could be called to stop the fighting

Protest Songs in response to Military Aggression
Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun
Protest Songs in response to Military Aggression
Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun
Protest Songs in response to Military Aggression
Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun
Protest Songs in response to Military Aggression
Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun
But the battle raged on......
