I got a plan got a scheme to have some fun
No doubt it’ll ruin everyone
Staying home watching TV’s basic
I’d much rather go out and get wasted
Who cares if we take this shit too far
Fucked up getting kicked out of the bar
Sorry if I drink to much and piss off everyone
Only want to have a good time getting spun
Don’t remember how came home with this scar
But I got work and can’t find the keys to my car
So I guess I’m not going anywhere
Or doing anything
But I got some cold ones in the fridge
I guess I’ll start to drink
You say I’m too old for this
I really don’t care
I’ll stop when I’m too old to bare
Another ska drinking ballad
We’ll reach the top ten when this drinking binge ends
Another ska drinking ballad
I got a plan got a scheme to have some fun
No doubt it’ll ruin everyone
Staying home watching TV’s basic
I’d much rather go out and get wasted
Who cares if we take this shit too far
Fucked up getting kicked out of the bar

Disorderly Conduct

Everytime I want to take what’s mine I just want to unwind I break their guidelines
Don’t have a fit it’s just a little bit of fun I must admit your reasons I don’t get
It’s not a crime at least not in my eyes if you want to drop a dime I’ll be in for hard time
It’s such a bitch these rules they make me itch lock me up I’m homesick it’s an economic trick
I don’t want to show off
I’m just gonna do what I want to
If I tell you to fuck off
You’re probably gonna turn me in
Having too much fun disorderly conduct
Drink a bit too much disorderly conduct
Argue with a cop disorderly conduct
Just what the fuck’s not disorderly conduct
Having too much fun disorderly conduct
Drink a bit too much disorderly conduct
Argue with a cop disorderly conduct
Just what the fuck’s not disorderly conduct
It chills you to the spine when I take what’s mine it’s not your storyline back off and you’ll be fine
Don’t want to run when I’m trying to have fun your rules there are a ton in my head they get spun
That’s okay I’ll just take it anyway no I do not think your way and my debt I always pay
It’s so sweet when you see me on the street no you never are discrete throw me in your backseat
I don’t want to show off
I’m just gonna do what I want to
If I tell you to fuck off
You’re probably gonna turn me in
Having too much fun disorderly conduct
Drink a bit too much disorderly conduct
Argue with a cop disorderly conduct
Just what the fuck’s not disorderly conduct
Having too much fun disorderly conduct
Drink a bit too much disorderly conduct
Argue with a cop disorderly conduct
Just what the fuck’s not disorderly conduct
I don’t want to show off
I’m just gonna do what I want to
If I tell you to fuck off
You’re probably gonna turn me in
Having too much fun disorderly conduct
Drink a bit too much disorderly conduct
Argue with a cop disorderly conduct
Just what the fuck’s not disorderly conduct
Having too much fun disorderly conduct
Drink a bit too much disorderly conduct
Argue with a cop disorderly conduct
Just what the fuck’s not disorderly conduct

Chatterbox, never stops, his fucking chirping
In my ear, I can’t hear, my own thought process
Kickin back just trying to enjoy a sweet peaceful summer night
Silence in the air not a sound around and man I’m feeling right
Then up comes chatterbox waving his arms around stirring from left to the right
Abusing my ear man you better stay clear or I might have to put up a fight
Talking about nothing topic to topic attention spans starting to fail
Can we please go back to the peace and quiet, if not I may just have to bail
Chatterbox, never stops, his fucking chirping
In my ear, I can’t hear, my own thought process
Chatterbox just wants his thoughts to be at one with your own
That’s alright but if this don’t stop chatterbox I may have to go home
Then just like that chatterbox turns his head and switch from one ear to the next
Do I feel bad yes I do but it’s true keeping distance from me’s for the best
Back to my sweet serene peaceful nature of my inner self
Just when I think that I’m in the clear chatterbox come and present himself
From silence to nonsense it's all so obnoxious when will the nightmare end
Now I can see and have some pity for your mind it just can’t rest
Maybe if you took, just one good look then you’d see, somethings amiss
It’s not poetry not philosophy no it’s just mindless chatter
From silence to nonsense it's all so obnoxious when will the nightmare end
Now I can see and have some pity for your mind it just can’t rest
Maybe if you took, just one good look then you’d see, somethings amiss
It’s not poetry not philosophy no it’s just mindless chatter
Chatterbox, never stops, his fucking chirping
In my ear, I can’t hear, my own thought process

Who Broke Freddy
03:17
|
|||
|
Freddy all he wants is love and someone he can take care of
But no one takes him seriously so all alone he falls to sleep
As a little boy freddy had toys but he couldn’t drown all the noise
Of his parents fighting endlessly, he’d escape eventually
Let music be your liberator, your commentator
Take away all your pain
If you cannot find the light, just let the rhythm
Guide your step tonight
He couldn’t understand the fuss or why you’d fight when you have love
He never had a baseball glove so he turned to booze and harder drugs
By the time Freddy was twenty-two he had trouble with the boys in blue
Spent a little time in jail and he had no one to pay the bail
Let music be your liberator, your commentator
Take away all your pain
If you cannot find the light, just let the rhythm
Guide your step tonight
Don’t you feel bad no it’s not in your fate
Life’s all about just how much you can take
Through all the bad times we must stay awake
No matter how bad your heart truly aches
Freddy just gets high at night and he looks up at the stars so bright
Wondering where he went wrong, and all alone he writes this song
Maybe, maybe it’s not his fault, maybe in life he got ripped off
So he lifts his head to say, tomorrow is another day
Let music be your liberator, your commentator
Take away all your pain
If you cannot find the light, just let the rhythm
Guide your step tonight
Let music be your liberator, your commentator
Take away all your pain
If you cannot find the light, just let the rhythm
Guide your step tonight

Shout

One world, one reason why your living by your gun and you got no peace of mind
One world, one people yeah you’ve got a lot of time but you got no reason why
Let's look at the current events, enough hatred you could put up a fence
President wants to build a wall, stack it up with cement to divide us all
Twist our heads with some silly mind games starting controversy all with a silly twitter claim
Enough bullshit to last a life you wanna hear what I think man it won’t be nice
You wanna hear what I think man it won’t be nice, you wanna hear what I think man
Shout, for our generation
Shout, for our generation
One world, one reason why your living by your gun and you got no peace of mind
One world, one people yeah you’ve got a lot of time but you got no reason why
There’s gotta be something better than this, a system only built to help one percent
What about, together we stand divided we fall this motto many fought for and risked it all
Don’t wanna be another statistic, don’t wanna be pawn in your sadistic plan
To rule upon this earth and the population, stand up and shout for our generation
Stand up and shout for our generation, gonna stand up and shout
Shout, for our generation
Shout, for our generation
One world, one reason why your living by your gun and you got no peace of mind
One world, one people yeah you’ve got a lot of time but you got no reason why
One world, one reason why your living by your gun and you got no peace of mind
One world, one people yeah you’ve got a lot of time but you got no reason why
You've got no reason why
In this world of mass media and virtual vulnerability
The powers that be are coming to influence the way we think act and vote
They are taking our information and putting us into categories to turn us against each other
We stand divided we are weak, we stand together we are strong
Stand up and fucking shout it loud
We are the people and we’ll say it proud
Stand up and show you have conviction
We are the voices of our generation

Mama's Boy

I got a friend with a mom whose got a basement
Livin rent free at twenty-eight lets face it
More spoiled than a primadonna with a facelift
Softer than a pack of huggies, that’s basic
This friends mom is stacking dollars to the ceiling
With no job mom’s buying everything he’s needing
Starts a band because his life’s in need of meaning
Tell him to get a job, he starts screaming
I will not give in, I won’t give in
To your bullshit, to your bullshit
I will not give in, I won’t give in
No
I will not give in, I won’t give in
To your bullshit, to your bullshit
I will not give in, I won’t give in
No
Now momma's boy is telling me my music’s no good
Telling me to write my songs just like he would
Ask me it sounds like he lost his manhood
Someone stop the colony this kid is not a prodigy
Cause I’ll write the songs I wanna right
And I’ll fight the battles I wanna fight
And I’ll do what’s wrong if it feels right
No one’s got the best of me, no
I will not give in, I won’t give in
To your bullshit, to your bullshit
I will not give in, I won’t give in
No
I will not give in, I won’t give in
To your bullshit, to your bullshit
I will not give in, I won’t give in
No
It’s much less than ideal, to talk more than you feel
There is a consequence, for reckless confidence
It could be loss of consciousness, or a pit that’s bottomless
But it’s your incompetence, that’ll leave you profitless
I will not give in, I won’t give in
To your bullshit, to your bullshit
I will not give in, I won’t give in
No
I will not give in, I won’t give in
To your bullshit, to your bullshit
I will not give in, I won’t give in
No

Fingers Crossed
04:09

If I were you I’d start over brand new
The things that you do may come back to haunt you
Loose is the screw that can undo under any type stress
I bought front row seats just to witness
Call up to your man when it’s time to devise a master plan
Your vote really sings when you’re tied up by marionette strings
Manipulation sleight of hand are the worst things for this land
Your word means nothing with your fingers crossed behind your back
The truth is a lie as long as you know how to deny
And a lie is the truth as long as no one will question you
You’re free to go cause no one knows what you do behind the scene
And what’s on the screen is all we think we’ll ever need
Give them your trust then pick between two this is a must
Will they do what’s just or reach into your pocket filled with lust
They say I’m gonna live the dream I’d rather douse myself with gasoline
Before I put my faith in you

Light It Up
03:41
|

|
When you’re feeling like your vibe is so low
And you’re finally losing control
And you need a little something to turn it round
And that little something comes from the ground
It’s just a little green, a little sticky in between
You know exactly what I need whoa
This sticky chronic’s got me feeling like I’m moving slow mo
I twist a little spliff and then I roll on down to the show
I feel it in my bones I feel it in my tempo control
Optimistic positivity that flows through straight to my soul
Soundwaves got me feelin like I’m ready to go
Musical weapon with the medicine that’s keeping me full
Nothing sounds better than dub reggae with the herb on your brain
When it hits you feel no pain
When you’re feeling like your vibe is so low
And you’re finally losing control
And you need a little something to turn it round
And that little something comes from the ground
It’s just a little green, a little sticky in between
You know exactly what I need whoa
Comparing this sweet herb to pharmaceuticals not the same
Negativity around the ganjas got me going insane
For lack of better words to you I cannot hardly explain the cali’s not to blame
So light it up let’s celebrate all of creation now
I wanna see this place jumpin want to see smoke clouds
Wanna hear the bass thumpin want the echo loud
Don’t be ashamed pass it around
Spark up the fire man spark up the flame
Roll up this spliff before I go insane
Give me that sweet, that sensi herb
Give me that feeling that we all deserve
Jammin to this rhythm that reggae sound
Weed got me movin so irie that sensi cloud
We get down we get raw that dub we call
Sensi reggae music Chuck B he know
Sensimilla, Sensimilla whoa sensimilla whoa
When you’re feeling like your vibe is so low
And you’re finally losing control
And you need a little something to turn it round
And that little something comes from the ground
It’s just a little green, a little sticky in between
You know exactly what I need whoa
Comparing this sweet herb to pharmaceuticals not the same
Negativity around the ganjas got me going insane
For lack of better words to you I cannot hardly explain the cali’s not to blame
So light it up let’s celebrate all of creation now
I wanna see this place jumpin want to see smoke clouds
Wanna hear the bass thumpin want the echo loud
Don’t be ashamed pass it around

Got a knack got an eye for seeing what’s fun don’t know what’s going on
Half the shit that I do man you call it punk nah I’m just getting drunk
We’re here again so tell your friends
Or don’t we could care less
We’re live again so turn it up
We’re only here to fuck shit up
Got a knack got an eye for seeing what’s fun don’t know what’s going on
Half the shit that I do man you call it punk nah I’m just getting drunk
I never knew about this life and there’s a good chance that I still don’t
But something brews inside of me and maybe I’m just prone
To stir it up and if I don’t I start to feel locked up
Tell me to grow up all I’m gonna do is fuck shit up
We’re here again so tell your friends
Or don’t we could care less
We’re live again so turn it up
We’re only here to fuck shit up

Cold World
02:35

You’re only here a short time and then your gone boy don’t you take life for granted
Figure out what you want what you think you need then you go out and take it
So fuck what they think and what they tell you it’s not their place to undervalue
It’s a cold world, unforgiving, we all know you gotta make a living
Do what you want, not what they need, you don’t need permission to avoid greed
Everytime they told just you what you must do it never added up to what you want to
If you’re not careful they’ll rip your heart out, sell it for the highest bid to fill their pockets
Nine times out of ten you can’t comprehend, what’s happening until your time it comes to an end
Just take care and know your life is your own, until that day when all that’s left is our bones
So one and all hand in hand we’re gonna take it back we’re gonna make a stand
Fight for yourself it’s worth the price, life in babylon is only half a life
So one and all hand in hand we’re gonna take it back we’re gonna make a stand
Fight for yourself it’s worth the price, life in babylon is only half a life
Everytime they told just you what you must do it never added up to what you want to
If you’re not careful they’ll rip your heart out, sell it for the highest bid to fill their pockets
Nine times out of ten you can’t comprehend, what’s happening until your time it comes to an end
Just take care and know your life is your own, until that day when all that’s left is our bones

If you know a thing about family then you also know a bit about loyalty
If I got your back your gonna do the same for me
If you got a situation I’ll make it right if you’re stuck in the dark I’ll shine the light
If you find yourself outnumbered I’ll help you win the fight
Me and my friends are all ride or die
You don’t even gotta ask or justify
If you’re in a sticky situation they know I won’t deny
We see adversity we blow it up
If we got nothing to lose then we don’t give a fuck
If there’s nothing left to do then you know we’ll light it up
All for one and one for all we stand as one and fight for all
It is all the same to me my friends are also family
If you come for one you better come prepared to fucking fall
If you know a thing about family then you also know a bit about loyalty
If I got your back your gonna do the same for me
If you got a situation I’ll make it right if you’re stuck in the dark I’ll shine the light
If you find yourself outnumbered I’ll help you win the fight
Me and my friends are all ride or die

Manuel I know you came so far just searching for the dream
Manuel now you know it’s not as simple as it seems
You've come such a long way just to stack up for your family
But now you’re getting older and your kids don’t know their daddy
Manuel why does it feel so far from the dream
Manuel the boss demanding sixty hours of your week
Manuel you wear it on your battered hands and blistered feet
You work so hard you forgot just what it’s for
Now the people that you love they don’t know you anymore
Manuel why does it feel so far from the dream
Can’t you see this is not how it’s supposed to be
You got some cash but you’re a stranger to your family
These lands got you swimming in an emptiness
Manuel they love to put your skilled hands to the test
Manuel they keep you here not helping you with the language
For all you give man they never give it back
The appreciations none and they never cut you slack
Manuel why does it feel so far from the dream t
Manuel now waking up is harder than you think
Now you’re too old to work and you’re too far from your home
So you sit there feeling empty and you’re drinking all alone
Manuel why does it feel so far from the dream
Can’t you see this is not how it’s supposed to be
You got some cash but you’re a stranger to your family
These lands got you swimming in an emptiness
Manuel, Manuel, Manuel, Manuel

Strike It Out
04:17
|

|
I can’t take no more of you stressing me out
I don’t understand what the fuss is about
What seems so big is just a wrinkle in time
Who cares if your plans are a bit out of line
Don’t spend your life trying to understand mine
I won’t let your problems take more of my time
One thing I know is that life’s gonna end
Until that point I will no longer pretend
Strike it out, the fear and doubt
Strike it out cause this will end and you’ll begin
Bad times come before the good can arrive
Sometimes you gotta fail just to know you’re alive
Fear the unknown and you will surely be still
Work hard for yourself may your dreams be fulfilled
Everyone knows that this life is unfair
Before you get down grit your teeth, grin and bear
For when your time comes there will be no regrets
And the times you do succeed you will never forget
Strike it out, the fear and doubt
Strike it out cause this will end and you’ll begin
You thought that things should be different
But you never changed a thing
The same piece to the same old puzzle
You’re still trapped in the maze
You thought that things should be different
But you never changed a thing
The same piece to the same old puzzle
You’re still trapped in the maze
Strike it out, the fear and doubt
Strike it out cause this will end and you’ll begin
You thought that things should be different
But you never changed a thing
The same piece to the same old puzzle
You’re still trapped in the maze
You thought that things should be different
But you never changed a thing
The same piece to the same old puzzle
You’re still trapped in the maze
You thought that things should be different
But you haven’t changed a thing
