Anyday Anyhow - Lyrics - New Detention - Grinspoon

Title: Anyday Anyhow
Album: New Detention
Artist: Grinspoon
Composer(s): Benjamin White, Phil Jamieson

Lyric:
Forgot to mention the new detention
Forgone conclusion, current lack of inspiration
Sophisticated, unpopulated, choose a television set
Of color screen sensation

Do you think that I was wrong?
I've got a patient family
Was the plan meant to go there?
Anyday, anyhow

Say what you want to, belong to anytime
We don't come here very often, sold on side

Believe that I'd never lie here
I couldn't feed another savior
If the trouble ended up and did you wrong
Come say and get another reading

Did I do things much better?
Did I do things much worse?
Was it that patient family
Waiting there patiently?

Say what you want to, belong to anytime
We don't come here very often, sold on side

Say what you want to, belong to anytime
We don't come in very often, sold on side
Say what you want to, belong to anytime
We don't come here very often, sold on

Hate - Lyrics - New Detention - Grinspoon

Title: Hate
Album: New Detention
Artist: Grinspoon
Composer(s): Phillip Jamieson

Lyric:
Woke up to find you weary, left hand was in the red room
My, my, our thoughts were black then
So does it make a difference you?
Always by my side, always by my side

Ghosts in the blue floor, new room controlling students
Hey, hey, the glitter girl gown, so does it make a difference?
You're never going to change, always be the same
And I'll hate you everyday, hate you everyday

Wait for the reasons to change, I know no better
You could do anything but just don't say whatever
You're always by my side, always by my side
And I'll love you everyday, it's never going to change

Woke up to find you weary, left hand was in the red room
My, my, our thoughts were black then
So does it make a difference you?
Always by my side, always by my side

And I'll hate you everyday, hate you everyday
'Cause you're never going to change
Always be the same
It's so good to be in love again

Gone Tomorrow - Lyrics - New Detention - Grinspoon

Title: Gone Tomorrow
Album: New Detention
Artist: Grinspoon
Composer(s): Phillip Jamieson, Patrick Davern

Lyric:
If you can't expect to take some blame
You should fuckin' know you ain't that perfect
Sorry that it had to end this way
Now I guess you're looking for an answer

If we're not gone tomorrow
This might end up in sorrow
Those dreams had passed you long ago
Those dreams had lost you long ago

Could've just moved into my place
But you wanted me to sell the sucker
This is not the way it's meant to rage
You could've found another reject
(Yeah, who cares, cares?)

If we're not gone tomorrow
This might end up in sorrow
Those dreams had passed you long ago
Those dreams had lost you long ago

If we're not gone tomorrow
This might end up in sorrow
Those dreams had passed you long ago
Those dreams had lost you long ago

1000 Miles - Lyrics - New Detention - Grinspoon

Title: 1000 Miles
Album: New Detention
Artist: Grinspoon
Composer(s): Phillip Jamieson

Lyric:
Well, I got drunk and I got stoned
Shot my family left my home
Went out on a killing spree
'Coz what you did was fucked to me

A thousand miles
Come get all your files
Put on that plastic smile
A thousand miles
Go, go, go, go, go, go
Go, go, go, go, go, go

When I got down and said to me
She made me part of history
Well, I go drunk and I got stoned
Left my family all alone
Go, go, go

A thousand miles
Come get all your files
Put on that plastic smile
A thousand miles
Go, go, go, go, go, go
Go, go, go, go, go, go

A thousand miles
Come get all your files
And all that frequent smiles
And all that plastic smile

A thousand miles
Come get all your files
Put on that plastic smile
A thousand miles
Go, go, go, go, go, go
Go, go, go, go, go, go

Make It Happen - Lyrics - New Detention - Grinspoon

Title: Make It Happen
Album: New Detention
Artist: Grinspoon
Composer(s): Phillip Jamieson

Lyric:
I used to have you pinned
You used to work at DJ's
Does it make you slimmer
Now you've got credit these days

Maybe I'm wrong it doesn't make it right
Maybe I'm dumb can you hold up the light
Can't seem to breath its getting cold inside
You sold it all inside a satellite

But if this soul runs out of fight
Can you guess what happens?
'Cause you're the only one in sight
That could've made it happen
Whatever gets you through the night

Can you make it happen?
Can you make it happen?

And pick those points to pleat
Adds up to disappointment
Because you're fucking shit
Has got a case to answer

You maybe right but I was told your wrong
Nothing was sharpened but the stolen one
I never knew that you could only hold
Everything's dark inside this room alone

But if this soul runs out of fight
Can you guess what happens?
'Cause you're the only one in sight
That could've made it happen
Whatever gets you through the night

Can you make it happen?
Can you make it happen?

Just 'cause you were never right
You sold your soul for a satellite
And all the friends that you used to love
Have gone around tellin' what you've done

I used to have you pinned
You used to work at DJ's
Does it make you slimmer
Now you've got credit these days

You maybe wrong but is it worth fight?
I maybe dumb can you turn on the light
Did you know your soul was in that satellite

But if this soul runs out of fight
Can you guess what happens?
'Cause you're the only one in sight
That could've made it happen
Whatever gets you through the night

Can you make it happen?
Can you make it happen?

Killswitch - Lyrics - New Detention - Grinspoon

Title: Killswitch
Album: New Detention
Artist: Grinspoon
Composer(s): Pat Davern, Phil Jamieson

Lyric:
Despite all of the negatives
I still get up and, yeah, I still get down

No reason, I'm made of positives
And all you fuckers cannot turn me round

I like to watch you watch yourself
Turn that killswitch on yourself
Make it hard to watch
Find out you're wishing me true

Celebrate all of the positives
And everything will work itself out fine

Rock seasons are made of negatives
'Coz all you people see our dollar signs

I like to watch you watch yourself
Put that killswitch on yourself
Make it hard to watch
Find out you're wishing me true

You act like you, have been here before
No one wants to, tell you you're adored
You act like you, have been here before

I like to watch you watch yourself
Turn that killswitch on yourself
Make it hard to watch
Find out you're wishing me true

You act like you, have been here before
No one wants to, tell you you're adored
You act like you, have been here before

You act like you, have been here before
No one wants to, tell you you're adored
You act like you, have been here before

Lost Control - Lyrics - New Detention - Grinspoon

Title: Lost Control
Album: New Detention
Artist: Grinspoon
Composer(s): Phillip Jamieson, Patrick Davern

Lyric:
Times up, yeah you should've known
Pretty little princess put it in a hole
Cold expect its not a disease
Can you take a photograph of us for them to see

Bam, bam, bam trick or treat want to stay
You can do it ours and we will do it your way
Not so bad if you follow the plan
That's how it goes with your head in the sand

We've already lost control
Already lost control
We've already lost control
Already lost control

Can't we join an army of you
And help you out in battle defend your point of view
Turn tables it's just like you said
Now I'm in the army probably better off dead

Jam slam wham I forgot what to say
You can take the bows and ride along the highway
Just thought you maybe would understand
What goes down in a rock and roll band

We've already lost control
Already lost control
We've already lost control
Already lost control

No fun cause its all been done
Picture perfect prefect thinks he's fucking won
Read out the list and see if it's free
Now I'm in your photographs as pretty as can be

Whinge, winge, winge, was it something I said
Wait another moment, I talk about my head
I love shit when it gets outta hand
Smoke the grass quicker and then go rock the band

We've already lost control
Already lost control
We've already lost control
Already lost control

No Reason - Lyrics - New Detention - Grinspoon

Title: No Reason
Album: New Detention
Artist: Grinspoon
Composer(s): Nick Wright, Phillip Jamieson

Lyric:
If you got the rhyme and you got the reason
Somebody outta really tell you
That you've run outta all your answers
And the lines are on the table

But you could go down so low
No one'll ever hear you call
I've got no reason

You could have had all of my love
I'd give it straight back if it?s enough
I need you to see that you?re the one for me

Could've tried all the time to tell you
That you've run outta all your answers
It?s not really ammunition
It?s a cause for a celebration

But we could go down so low
No one'll ever see us fall
I've got no reason

You could have had all of my love
I'd give it straight back if it?s enough
I need you to see that you?re the one for me

I've got no reason
I've got no reason
I've got no reason
I've got no reason

If you got the rhyme and you got the reason
Somebody outta really tell you
That you've run outta ammunition
It?s a cause for a celebration

But we could go down so low
No one'll ever hear us call
I've got no reason

I've got no reason
I've got no reason
I've got no reason
I've got no reason

I'M The Man [Def Uncensored Version] [Def Uncensored Radio Version] - Lyrics - I'm The Man - Anthrax

Title: I'M The Man [Def Uncensored Version] [Def Uncensored Radio Version]
Album: I'm The Man
Artist: Anthrax
Composer(s): Joseph A. Bellardini, Frank Joseph Bello, Charlie L. Benante, John Rooney, Scott Ian Rosenfeld, Daniel Alan Spitz

Lyric:
Yeah

Now we're Anthrax and we take no shit
And we don't care for writing hits
The sound you hear is what we like
I'll steal your pop-tarts like I stole your socks
Yo man, what's the matter with you?
I'll get it the next time, I mean it

Charlie, beat the beats, the beats you beat
The only thing harder is the smell of my feet
So listen up 'cause you might get dissed
Go drain the lizard or take a chair
Damn, watch the beat

I'm on your case, I'm in your face
Kick you and your father back in place
Step up sucker, understand
Don't you know

I'm the man, I'm the man
I'm so bad I should be in detention
I'm the man, shut, shut, shut, shut
Shut up

We've got real def rhythms and fresh new jams
And ya think we got egos but we're just hams
Scott plays stick ball and likes to skate
Frank is never on time he's always sleeping
Late

They drink the drinks, the drinks they drank
I put my money in the bank
They cut their crack, they offer joints
We don't do drugs, do you get our meaning
Point, point, watch the beat

I'm on your case, I'm in your face
Kick you and your father back in place
Step up sucker, understand
Don't you know

I'm the man, I'm the man
I'm bad, I'm so bad I should be in detention
I'm the man, shut, shut up

For a heavy metal band raps a different way
We like to different and not cliche
They say rap and metal can never mix
Well all of them can suck our
Sexual organ located in the lower abdominal area
No man, it's dick

Master

Fart the farts, the farts he farted
I pick my nose 'cause I'm retarded
Like El Duce says, "Smell my anal vapor
And wipe my butt with your face
Toilet paper, yo, watch the beat

I'm on your case, I'm in your face
Kick you and your father back in place
Step up sucker, understand
Don't you know

I'm the man, I'm the man
I'm bad, I'm so bad I should be in detention
I'm the man, shut, shut, shut up

So, as this rap is winding down
It's plain to see we wear the crown
You know Anthrax is number one
But we don't care, we just wanna have a festival
Fun you stupid, idiot

Joey mailed the mail, the mail he mailed
We are the kings that all shout hell
We're like a diamond that is forever
And will remain the hardest ever

I'm so bad, it's a crime
Not

Underdog - Lyrics - The Coup

Title: Underdog
Artist: The Coup
Composer(s): Raymond Riley

Lyric:
This is for my folkers who got bills overdue
This is for my folkers, um, check, one, two
This is for my folkers who never lived like a hog
Me and you, toe to toe, I got love for the underdog

This is for my folkers who got bills overdue
This is for my folkers, um, check, one, two
This is for my folkers who never lived like a hog
Me and you, toe to toe, I got love for the underdog

I raise this glass for the ones who die meaninglessly
And the newborns who get fed intravenously
Somebody's mom caught a job and a welfare fraud case
When she breathe, she swear it feels like plastic wrap around her face

Lights turned off and it's the third month, the rent is late
Thoughts of being homeless, crying till you hyperventilate
Despair permeates the air then sets in your ear
The kids play with that one toy they learned how to share

Coming home don't never seem to be a celebration
Bills, they piled up on the coffee table like they're decorations
Big ol' spoons of peanut butter, big ass glass of water
Makes the hunger subside, save the real food for your daughter

You feel like swingin' haymakers at a moving truck
You feel like laughing so it seems like you don't give a fuck
You feel like getting so high, you smoke a whole damn crop
You feel like crying but you think that you might never stop

Homes with no heat stiffen your joints like arthritis
If this was fiction, it'd be easier to write this
Some folks try to front like they so above you
They'd tear this motherfucker up if they really loved you

This is for my folkers who got bills overdue
This is for my folkers, um, check, one, two
This is for my folkers who never lived like a hog
Me and you, toe to toe, I got love for the underdog

There's certain tricks of the trade to try and hault your defeat
Like taking tupperware to an all you can eat
Returning used shit for new saying you lost your receipt
And writing four figure checks when your accounts deplete

Then all your problems pile up about a mile up
Thinkin' about a partner you can dial up to help you out this foul stuff
Whole family sleepin' on a futon while you're clippin' coupons
Eatin' salad tryin' to get full off the croutons

'Crosstown, the situation is identical
Somebody's getting strangled by the system and its tentacles
Misconceptions raise questions to be solved
A lot of b-boys are broke, a lot of homeless got jobs

You can make 8 bones an hour till you pass out and still be assed out
Most pyramid schemes don't let you cash out
They say this generation makes the harmony pray
But crime rises consistent with the povety rate

You take the workers and jobs, you're gonna have murders and mobs
A gang of preachers screamin' sermons over murmurs and sobs
Saying pray for a change from the Lord above you
They'd tear this motherfucker up if they really loved you

This is for my folkers who got bills overdue
This is for my folkers, um, check, one, two
This is for my folkers who never lived like a hog
Me and you, toe to toe, I got love for the underdog

You like this song 'cause it relates, it's you in this rhyme
We go to stores that only let us in two at a time
We live in places where it costs to get your check cashed
Arguments about money usually drown out the tec blasts

Work six days a week, can't sleep Saturdays though
Muscles tremblin' like a pager when the battery's low
And you just don't know where the years went
Although every long shift feels like a year spent

And you can write your resume but it wouldn't even mention
All the life lessons learned doing six years of detention
Or how you learned the police was just some handicappers
On the ground next to broken glass and candy wrappers

Now don't accept my collects on the phone
Just hit me at the house so I know I ain't alone
And we can chop it up about this messed up system
Homies that's been killed, how we always gonna miss them?

It's almost impossible survivin' on this fraction
Sip a 40 to the brain for the chemical reaction
You gotta hustle 'cause they're tryin' to push and shove you
I'll tear this motherfucker up since I really love you

This is for my folkers who got bills overdue
This is for my folkers, um, check, one, two
This is for my folkers who never lived like a hog
Me and you, toe to toe, I got love for the underdog

Scandalous Scholastics - Lyrics - Gym Class Heroes

Title: Scandalous Scholastics
Artist: Gym Class Heroes
Composer(s): Disashi Lumumba-Kasongo, Sam Hollander, Travis Mccoy, Matthew Mcginley, Dave Katz

Lyric:
And I can hear ?em talking in the hallways
(Let ?em keep talking)
I?m always late for lunch
Learning dirty little lessons from you
(So sexy)

Now my name is on the lips of
Every cheerleader in my school
Now I?m a legend in the locker room
(Legendary, baby)

I was just a snotty nosed degenerate
With hit pass perfection, dodgin? teachers down
To give my late ass detention

Hardly a heartthrob but I made due
Using those same circle 'Yes or No'
Notes I used in grade school

Folded love letters with a tab that read 'Pull here'
Writin? back and forth in notebooks for a full year
I used to daydream about Ms. Magnus
And the type of fantasies you kind of feel guilty for having

But who hasn?t? The only difference
Beside the age was the fact I acted on it
And who wouldn?t?

A schoolboy crush, met mature woman lust
And they hit it off so well
And I could tell the day she asked me

To stay after class that it was all bad
But I just bit my lip and acted all mad
The bell rang, class dismissed
The door shut and her skirt went up that?s a fact

And I can hear ?em talking in the hallways
(Let ?em keep talking)
I?m always late for lunch
Learning dirty little lessons from you
(So sexy)

Now my name is on the lips of
Every cheerleader in my school
Now I?m a legend in the locker room
(Legendary, baby)

We gave a brand new meaning
To after-school special
The second that our lips touched
She kissed my ribs
And counted each one out loud

I tried my hardest not to giggle
But I couldn?t 'cuz it tickled so much
She pulled my pants to half-mast
I said, ?Hurry Miss Sin
You gonna make me late for math class?

The way she praised my balls was vicious
Now that?s what I love to call sacrilegious
One time became twenty times, before we knew it
We stopped caring about where we would do it

From the classroom to the bathroom
And when all the students was gone
We?d even do it in the staff room
From F?s to A?s in less than 3 days

Now the underachiever?s the one with the best grades
Made the third floor shake without breakin? a sweat
Goddamn, it felt good to be the teacher?s pet

And I can hear ?em talking in the hallways
(Let ?em keep talking)
I?m always late for lunch
Learning dirty little lessons from you
(So sexy)

Now my name is on the lips of
Every cheerleader in my school
Now I?m a legend in the locker room
(Legendary, baby)

Ah, goodness, gracious, accusations
Started flyin' through the building
Cruel as school children
This isn?t how it was supposed to be
Reminiscing don?t stand so close to me

And if it?s mostly my fault
For letting this shit happen
But I couldn?t resist
A little adolescent bragging

I mean, after all I was only 15
And she was showing me things
My virgin eyes had never seen, now

Never forget the little meeting she called
But when she saw my reaction
It made her appalled

So basically what you?re sayin' is
If I don?t keep tappin? that ass
Then you ain?t gonna let me pass?

Some punishment lady
And as I turned towards the door
I looked back she had her clothes on the floor

Needless to say
I passed with flying colors
But my teacher was my best friends mother, damn

And I can hear ?em talking in the hallways
(Let ?em keep talking)
I?m always late for lunch
Learning dirty little lessons from you
(So sexy)

Now my name is on the lips of
Every cheerleader in my school
Now I?m a legend in the locker room
(Legendary, baby)

And I can hear ?em talking in the hallways
(Let ?em keep talking)
I?m always late for lunch
Learning dirty little lessons from you
(So sexy)

Now my name is on the lips of
Every cheerleader in my school
Now I?m a legend in the locker room
(Legendary, baby)

And I can hear ?em talking in the hallways
(Let ?em keep talking)
I?m always late for lunch
Learning dirty little lessons from you
(So sexy)

Now my name is on the lips of
Every cheerleader in my school
Now I?m a legend in the locker room
(Legendary, baby)

Why Oh Why - Lyrics - Spearhead

Title: Why Oh Why
Artist: Spearhead
Composer(s): Michael Franti

Lyric:
I say my prayers every mornin' just like orange juice
I crack the crinkles out my body till I'm feelin' loose
I strap my sneakers on my feet like they was combat boots
They fit my feet like Cinderella when I'm shootin' hoops

Why oh why do memories keep chasin' me?
Sometimes it makes me wanna grab my shit and flee
Sometimes I wanna blow my brains to put my life at ease
But I ain't clockin' out I gotta see the seven seas

Please, seven's a very lucky number for me
That was the age when I discovered how good ballin' could be
Up every mornin' with the birdies doin' little drills
Go to my left go to my right developin' mad skills

How could a love for this game bring so much sadness
I played with brothas with so much badness
But now they gone I sing a song pop a three
From the top of the key in they memory

Why, oh, why do memories be chasin' me?
Sometimes it makes me wanna grab my shit and flee
Even in seasons when it's another color sport
I still be memorizin' lines out on the basketball court singin'

Why, oh why do memories be chasin' me?
Sometimes it makes me wanna grab my shit and flee
Even in seasons when it's another color sport
I be rememberin' my partners on the basketball court

Do you remember runnin' the court in September?
Me and my homies be down for whoever
Would come along and try to send us to the showers
From the game that we'd been dominatin' there for hours

All day to be more specific east to west
From Atlantic to Pacific fools would come round
To get down and try to take our crown
But we would hold our ground and we would never back down

Old timers, new timers would get in line there
And take a seat there and try to prepare
But oh, no, there was no chance when we was in the zone
We was alone at the top, we had hops, we got props

And when we needed to we busted chops
Wipe the court with your game like we was usin' mops
What ever happened to the Super Hoopers in the park
I reminisce while shootin' solitary after dark

Why, oh, why do memories be chasin' me?
Sometimes it makes me wanna grab my shit and flee
Even in seasons when it's another color sport
I still be memorizin' lines out on the basketball court singin'

Why, oh why do memories be chasin' me?
Sometimes it makes me wanna grab my shit and flee
Even in seasons when it's another color sport
I be rememberin' my partners on the basketball court

Why, oh, why?
Why, oh, why?

Brother C came fresh from out of town
And he had handles and like McDonald's he could clown ya
Dribblin' baby bounces between drinkin' forty ounces
Knock ya on your heels and do circles like he was Curly Neal

But oh no, the liquor got quicker to his head and he said
"I think I musta placed some stupid bets"
He hit me up for some cash, there was a car crash
A splash and then the brother made a mad dash

Rob, oh, Rob his whole life was like a roller coaster
But on the court he looked like a Dr. J. Poster
Flyin' high with an Afro blowin' in the wind
Wipin' Windex, index finger rolls off the glass

Then swish through the net jump a Corvette with a triple pirouette
But off the court he had a few temptations copulations
No moderations by 24 he had 3 pregnations
Last check crack intoxications

So many other brothers gone from this dimension
And none of those who got hurt receive a pension
Give a bup, bup, to those locked up in detention
Memories too many dimension
And we say, "One more time, one more time"

Why, oh, why do memories be chasin' me?
Sometimes it makes me wanna grab my shit and flee
Even in seasons when it's another color sport
I still be memorizin' lines out on the basketball court singin'

Why, oh why do memories be chasin' me?
Sometimes it makes me wanna grab my shit and flee
Even in seasons when it's another color sport
I be rememberin' my partners on the basketball court

Fortress Europe - Lyrics - Asian Dub Foundation

Title: Fortress Europe
Artist: Asian Dub Foundation
Composer(s): Aniruddah Das, Steven Savale, Sanjay Tailor, John Pandit

Lyric:
Keep bangin' on the wall
Keep bangin' on the wall
Of Fortress Europe

2022, a new European order
Robot guards patrolling the border
Cybernetic dogs are getting closer and closer
Armored cars and immigration officers

A burning village in Kosovo
You bombed it out, now you're telling us go home
Machine guns strut on the cliffs of Dover
Heads down, people look out, we're going over

Burnin' up, can we survive re-entry
Past the mines and the cybernetic sentries
Safe European homes built on wars
You don't like the effect, don't produce the cause

The chip is in your head, not on my shoulder
Total control just around the corner
Open up the floodgates, time's nearly up
Keep banging on the wall of Fortress Europe

Keep banging
Keep banging on the wall
Of Fortress Europe

We got a right, know the situation
We're the children of globalization
No borders, only true connection
Light the fuse of the insurrection

This generation has no nation
Grass roots pressure the only solution
We're sitting tight
'Cause asylum is a right

Put an end to this confusion
Dis is a 21st century Exodus
Dis is a 21st century Exodus

Burnin' up can we survive re-entry
Past the land mines and cybernetic sentries
Plane, train, car, ferry boat or bus
The future is bleeding coming back at us

The chip is in your head not on my shoulder
Total control around the corner
Open up the floodgates, time's nearly up
Keep banging on the wall of Fortress Europe

Keep banging
Keep banging on the wall
Of Fortress Europe

Dis is a 21st century Exodus
Dis is a 21st century Exodus

They got a right, listen not to de scaremonger
Who doesn't run when they're feel the hunger
From where to what to when to here to there
People caught up in red tape nightmare

Break out of the detention centers
Cut the wires and tear up the vouchers
People get ready it's time to wake up
Tear down the walls of Fortress Europe
