Hardcore

Is this old hardcore? Old hardcore?
Old hardcore? Old hardcore?
“The new music is shit, not like back in my day”
It's the same old lament I hear all the old punks say
Don’t get me wrong, sometimes I feel it too
There’s comfort in memories from your glorious youth
And your old hardcore
Old hardcore
Old hardcore
Old hardcore
When was the last time you looked for new bands?
The same nine old records have never left your hands
The youth are still strong and you’re not their master
They’re young and they’re angry, they’re wilder and faster
And it’s still hardcore
Still hardcore
Still hardcore
Still hardcore
And it’s real hardcore
Real hardcore
Real hardcore
Like your old hardcore

Discontinue To Be
01:04
|
|
||
The day has now come, the big day is here
That moment in life that you always have feared
The blurry “what ifs” are now very clear
The monster from under your bed has appeared
And it’s stopping all time
So open your eyes, and quiet your voice
It’s now in control, and you have no choice
It’s bigger than anything you’ve ever seen
It’s bigger than anything that ever has been
And it’s stopping all time, it’s stopping all time
Don’t worry if you don’t know who you once were
Just lie back and watch the big changes unfurl
The whole world will now discontinue to be
The whole world will now discontinue to be

Your Word Of God
01:05
|
|
||
I don’t know you, you don’t know me
But you’ve got rules that I must heed
These rules you’re brainwashed to believe
Now everyone you will force feed
Your word of god, these words you preach as truth
From your old book, whose words you’ll misconstrue
To prove you’re good, and purely bred
To justify this hate you spread
To dominate all lesser souls
To lead all flocks, to have control
Your word of god, is just the word of man
Fuck man. Fuck you! How could you know god’s plan?
Your soul is weak, your crops won’t seed
Your hate and greed’s why your god bleeds
Your views are dead, your numbers small
We soon will be free from you all
Your lies of god will now be punished well
An ironic fate, you’ll burn in your own hell

Big City
01:14
|
|
||
Alone, always alone, no friends to phone
No one understood your needs back home
And you hated your family
So you ran away, and moved to the big city
Alone, you’re still alone, your money’s blown
The cold grey streets you sadly roam
But it’s better than your old scene
Cuz at least you’re wild and free in the big city
Alone, with garbage and bugs, you steal to buy drugs
Hustle your body for dealers and thugs
Oh, you’re so wild and free
Is it everything that you thought it would be?
Are you living your dreams in the big city?

Life
01:10
|
|
||
Oh I see what’s wrong, we’re trapped in this meat
We’ve no where to go, we just live and repeat
Each day after last, with our pains and our grief
All alone in our rooms between walls of concrete
Yeah I know what’s wrong, but what can we do?
I’ve got no answers, I’m here just like you
And the millions of others, we’re all stuck in this glue
Just toiling through time without any clue
So here we all are, still trapped in our meat
We’re stuck in a cycle that we’ll never defeat
We can hope, we can pray, that death brings us some change
And we won’t just come back to another life just the same

Dark Cloud
00:41
|
|
||
Yes, I know there’s war
Yes, I know there’s hate
I’m just trying to live here in peace day by day
But you’re always reminding your friends of world pain
You’re constantly sharing your bad news migraine
Well, maybe it lessens some inherent guilt
From your privileged world, you need to feel hurt
So you spread it around, non-stop every day
Like a dark cloud that rains on a hopeful parade
Yes I know there’s war
Yes I know there’s hate
I’m just trying to live here in peace day by day

Poison In Me
01:05
|
|
||
Poison in me, poison in me
Poison in me, poison in me
It’s in my food, it’s in my drink
It’s in my bedroom and it drips from my sink
It’s in my eyes, it rots all my teeth
It’s burning my stomach and making me weak
This poison in me, poison in me
Poison in me, poison in me
It’s in the trees, it’s in every leaf
It’s in the ground that’s under my feet
It’s in the air, it falls with the rain
It pools up around me and fucks up my brain
This poison in me, poison in me
Poison in me, poison in me
It’s stolen my dreams like some psychotic thief
It’s sickened all promise and hopeful belief
It’s bleeding from cuts that we made in this Earth
And it’s killed everything that ever had any worth
This poison in me, poison in me
Poison in me, poison in me
Poison in me, poison in me
Poison in me, poison in me

Your Belief
01:11
|
|
||
Do you see what’s posted on the news? Do you believe?
In also things that aren’t posted to view?
Do you believe in all the edgy unproven theories?
The kind of things that no one knows, no one knows
And on it goes, on it goes, your belief in truth
That really no one knows, no one knows
Do you believe what you read on some blog? Do you believe?
And do you spread it ‘round to all your mob?
These fucked up things that grow until they’re well out of control
The things that really no one knows, no one knows.
And so it grows, so it grows
Your belief in reason that no one knows, no one knows
Do you believe you always knows what’s best?
Do you believe you’re brighter and far better than the rest?
Us stupid sheep that fall for every lie you see right through
The kind of lies that no one knows, no one knows
And your seeds are sown, to grow your little clones
With strong belief in a truth that really
No one knows, no one knows, no one knows

Why
01:02
|
|
||
On the left or on the right
Just pick a side argue and fight
While in the castle they just laugh
You cut the peoples strength in half
But why? Why do you fall for it? Why?
Both sides are kept in a cage
That’s built from manufactured rage
They watch us fight from high above
They smile as hatred stomps on love
But why? Why do you fall for it? Why?

Fix Me
01:06
|
|
||
Oh doctor please, can you hear me?
I need some relief from this mortal grief
Oh, what can I do?
Are there pills to clear up this view?
Are there pills to turn old to new?
Are there pills to fix me?
Oh doctor please, I’m filled with disease
I’m writhing in pain, and to your potions I’m chained
Oh. what can you do?
Are there pills to help get me through?
Are there pills to turn old to new?
Are there pills to fix me?

I Know You
00:34
|
|
||
You think I can’t see through your little schemes
You think you’re so clever and above all my seeing
Well I know, you know, you know, I know you
You want me to believe your lies are the truth
You think that I’m blind but I see right through you
Cuz I know, you know, you know, I know you
So I’ll stop you right now before you begin
You’re still the same fucker you always have been
Yeah I know, you know, you know, I know you

Here It Comes
01:06
|
|
||
Way up in the stars, way up in the night
There’s billions of things well beyond our sight
All tumbling through space at the speed of light
A very real danger that very soon might
Come knocking on our door
Cuz at any moment, the sky may fall
And smash into Earth, destroying us all
It’s actually more likely than it’s not
But why even worry, there’s no way to stop
The sky from knocking down our door
Here it comes!
So what is left? The moon and stars
And our fragile home planet that now looks like Mars
No life to be seen or remembered at all
There’s no one to care, there’s nothing at all

Search
01:03
|
|
||
Where is the hope, where is the light?
Where is the savior to end this long night?
Where is the path, where is the way
To lead us along to some kind of enlightened day?
Where is the plan, where is the plan?
Where is the glimmer of hope now for man?
Where can it be, where can it be?
Where oh where could it ever so possibly be?
We will search for evermore
We will search for evermore

Too High
01:03
|
|
||
Well beyond my comfort zone,
My mind is going to explode right now!
Why am I so high? I can’t see the ground
Surrounded by screaming, but I can’t hear a sound
Except for my heart beating right through my chest
Am I gonna die? Is this some kind of test?
I don’t know what went wrong
But whatever I took is way too strong
Why is my bed spinning ‘round and around?
And the air in this room so thick and profound?
I feel my blood pumping within every vein
I feel my conscience now detach from my brain
I don’t know what I am, but whatever I took has got me
Well beyond my comfort zone, my mind is going to explode

Guns
00:59
|
|
||
You’re so fucking tough down in daddy’s basement
Why have your own place when mom’s a servant
They spoiled and taught you old macho routines
So “fuck this new feminist libtard regime”
You stew, your anger, you grow your rage
Your fantasies lie in some comic book page
Where big titted bimbos submit to your crave
Real girls won’t fuck you or acknowledge your being
And your closed mind can’t handle the real world it’s seeing
You stew, your anger, you grow your rage
“The girls are all dykes and the men are all weak”
The anger inside you has grown to a peak
“The country must return to the reign of real men”
You type on your facebook from your little bed
You dress in your camo and steal daddy’s gun
You believe that you know what needs to be done
You gather your rage and your fucked up reasons
And head off downtown to kill everyone
But to your surprise, your plans come undone
Cuz the women, queers and drag queens also have guns

It Won't Care
00:57
|
|
||
Why is it moving, why is it still?
Why does it continue against my will?
Why does it empty, why does it fill?
Why does it give life and why does it kill?
I question why, but it won’t care
I scream and shout, but it won’t care
I beg and plead, but it won’t care, no it won’t care
Why is it vague, yet so crystal clear?
Why’s it so silent yet all I can hear?
Why does it haunt me and fill up my dreams?
Why can I not understand what it means?
I question why, but it won’t care
I scream and shout, but it won’t care
I beg and plead, but it won’t care, no it won’t care

War
01:00
|
|
||
Did you see the bombings on your feed?
Did you see the suffering, the hate and greed?
Did you wonder why this always has to be?
This War! War! War!
Now would you call it world war three?
Or is it maybe world war four?
It doesn’t matter
Fucking war, forever happening
War! War! War!
War! War! War!
Did you hear the warnings for your town?
Did you feel the rumble shake the ground?
Did you sense it closing in from all around?
This War! War! War!
Now it’s upon us, world war three
Or is it simply world war more?
It doesn’t matter
Fucking war, forever happening.
War! War! War!
War! War! War!
War! War! War!
War! War! War!

Old
01:02
|
|

I used to go days at a time
Non-stop action, feeling fine
Lots of friends, and lots of hair
I owned nothing and I didn’t care
I smoked and drank and tripped so high
With no cares if I’d live or die
I played my music fast and loud
And never thought how one day I’d be old
Now I’m old!
But in my head I’m still the me
That in my youth, I used to be
I remember all those days
And feel them still through many pains
My bones and lungs may feel the years
But I still don’t have any fears
It’s the same for everyone, so live it up
Cuz soon you will be old
Old!
Now I’m OLD!
Old!
Now! I'm! OLD!
(Dedicated to all our friends who didn't get to be old)
