Verse In this state in which I live I have no more blood to give! The police break into my home! Why won’t they just leave me alone? Is there something I can’t see? I don’t expect nothing for free! At best, this system is Ludicrous! And just look at the fine print About the men who we elect They have got us by the neck! Chorus Mutual brutality! Sometimes, it’s what I need! Mutual brutality! I feel better when I bleed! Mutual brutality! I can’t simply forget what I’ve seen! Mutual brutality! Saving me from insanity! Verse As I get up off the ground I just wanna knock someone down! So, I search for that punk rock sound And I put my elbows out! You’d better be a little tough my son Or this pit won’t be much fun Round and round and round we go Always move against the flow! Once i let my rage escape Onto someone else’s face I shake hands, it’s getting late Wipe the blood and hit the gate!

Dead and Blue You say that we are free, so why can’t you just let me be? Every day you get paid is a day we get played Benefit of the doubt, for you time has run out Taught you could you could be trusted Kelly Thomas got his face busted! Can never bring him back A ruthless attack Can never bring him back Red and blue lights, dead and blue lights Every single night make me want to fight Not up for a debate, this here’s a police state We protest in the street, but they still set you free You’re huffin’ and puffin’, but I ain’t never done nothin’ You’re screamin’ and yellin’ but I ain’t never tellin’ Can never bring him back A ruthless attack Can never bring him back Red and blue lights, dead and blue lights Every single night make me want to fight Red! Blue! Dead! Blue! Can never bring him back…

Day Dreamer 02:07
Daydreamer American socialite culture, you make me sick! Look me in the eye, and tell me what you do is right! Have you ever done anything, for someone in need? Look at yourself, I bet your mother’s proud! Oooooo daydreamer, dream your life away Oooooo daydreamer I can’t believe a word you say Oooooo daydreamer, your treachery never ends Oooooo daydreamer go play with your friends! Diabolical indecision by indiscriminate men and women You sacrifice my rights to better your own rights Your higher authority is the immoral majority And you never can see through the lies of mainstream news Oooooo daydreamer, dream your life away Oooooo daydreamer I can’t believe a word you say Oooooo daydreamer, your treachery never ends Oooooo daydreamer go play with your friends!

Good Person 01:42
Good Person Just tryin’ to be a good person, whoa, but your justice system ain’t workin’, no x2 California, land of dreams But it’s not always what it seems Society, de-criminalize me! Society, de-criminalize me! Just tryin’ to be a good person, whoa, but your justice system ain’t workin’, no x2 I’m just a simple man You already know where i stand I feel like i’m the hunted prey Why can’t we just be free?

Just Not Like the Rest Verse 1 Clenched fists, tight jaw I can’t understand what I saw! Arms out, head down I can’t stand life in this town! My heart pounds in my chest! I’m just not like the rest! I can’t breathe, I can’t speak! It’s as if nothing’s in my reach! You look at me, what do you see? A person ousted from society? Chorus I don’t want to live this way! Anger and hatred ruling my day! I just can’t wrap my mind around All the lies that i have found! Verse 2 This society makes me sick! Smash your face in with a brick! Don’t look into my eyes Just keep on walking by I’ve often been way too kind! Now I’ve almost lost my mind!

Repugnant 01:28
Repugnant Got 18 stitches an’ a bottle o’ rum, Don’t even know where i got it from… My eyes are all swollen from who knows what And I can’t even tell which way is up… Chorus Because I’m repugnant!-and I don’t care! Dip your brow my way boy if you dare! Repugnant!-baby, life ain’t fair! Repugnant!-I never got my share… Repugnant!-took a leap of faith… Repugnant!-and landed on my face Verse 2 Ma knuckles all bloody, got a busted thumb …and all I can hear is a rattle and a hum Even though i woke up feeling great Got a sneaking suspicion I should be irate! Chorus 2 Because I’m repugnant!-and I don’t care! Dip your brow my way boy if you dare! Repugnant!-baby, life ain’t fair! Repugnant!-I never got my share… Repugnant!-took a leap of faith… Repugnant!-and landed on my face!

Vagabond 02:35
Vagabond I ain’t got no more words to sing And if I did, they’d be bad and mean I ain’t got nuthin’ more to tell than this whole world’s goin’ straight to hell And if i had somethin’ more to say, it wouldn’t never matter anyways Cuz I’m a vagabond, where did i go wrong? I’m a vagabond, where do i belong? Always tried to do what’s right More times than not, ended in a fight I don’t hate you, but you hate me I just wish you’d see what I’ve seen And just because I carry a gun, doesn’t mean that you need to run Cuz I’m a vagabond, where did I go wrong? I’m a vagabond, where do I belong? As I walk down this gravel road, I just want to be left alone Tried to give myself to the cause that’s good, but then your face went and dented my hood I don’t need no fancy car, all I got’s this old guitar Cuz I’m a vagabond, where did I go wrong? I’m a vagabond, where do I belong?

What You See Is What You Get Verse People say I should be sedated Like I’m not there, they all debate it Every fear I have, I step and face it If it’s a problem, I just replace it And today, what you see is what you get Many have tried, but none have changed me yet! Chorus I may not be good enough for you But I’ll never be good enough for me! And even though I wear my heart on my shirt sleeve, I’ll never fit in in this society! Verse 2 I know how it feels to be hated! So much that I’ve become jaded! And I know I shouldn’t ever take it But the light within me has faded Cuz everyone close to me creates it And says it’s only me to blame for it! I just wanna get an ugly face lift! Or jump onto a fast moving space ship!

No Regrets 03:00
No Regrets I come from a place where the killers go free Where your life can change with the ocean breeze If I’ve learned one thing from runnin’ these streets It’s that you gotta stand up for what you believe Day or night, black or white, it’s all the same You gotta stand tall to survive the game Life don’t always go how we planned That blood on the sidewalk’s on all our hands In California! I-I got no regrets! No regrets! No regrets! No regrets! X2 They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks Hey, catch my drift? Cash in your chips And make a cure for the poor and those at war Because soon it will be knocking at your door I say, close the ranks and close the banks They never bailed me out when i was down and out And its OK I started out here way down low, Up’s the only way i can go In California! I-I got no regrets! No regrets! No regrets! No regrets! X2 Most of us now ain’t got much money But that doesn’t mean we can’t help the hungry And just because we all don’t speak the same tongue doesn’t mean we can’t reach out and show some love And there’s not much i regret in my days But I won’t let this legacy fade away, fade away OH, fade away In California! I-I got no regrets! No regrets! No regrets! No regrets! X2

Steppin’ on my neck Up for days, sucked up face Covered in brass burns, he never said a word He never could seem to ever get things right He went knuckles up and embraced the lumps He said: steppin’ on my neck, it don’t bother me Kick me while I’m down, it don’t bother me Just remember when you turn out the light I don’t have to sleep at night!

about

Verse
In this state in which I live
I have no more blood to give!
The police break into my home!
Why won’t they just leave me alone?
Is there something I can’t see?
I don’t expect nothing for free!
At best, this system is Ludicrous!
And just look at the fine print
About the men who we elect
They have got us by the neck!

Chorus
Mutual brutality! Sometimes, it’s what I need!
Mutual brutality! I feel better when I bleed!
Mutual brutality! I can’t simply forget what I’ve seen!
Mutual brutality! Saving me from insanity!

Verse
As I get up off the ground
I just wanna knock someone down!
So, I search for that punk rock sound
And I put my elbows out!
You’d better be a little tough my son
Or this pit won’t be much fun
Round and round and round we go
Always move against the flow!
Once i let my rage escape
Onto someone else’s face
I shake hands, it’s getting late
Wipe the blood and hit the gate!
