OVERKILL LYRICS

1. Last Man Standing

They're lining up in columns, they're lining up in pairs
They're lining up around the globe, they line up everywhere
Without reservation, without cause to care
Fuck the complication, last man standing
I heard the blowing siren, heard boots upon the ground
Heard the brave in unison, hear their engines pound
As God will be our witness, and evil is commanding
Fuck the abdication, last man standing

Last man standing, last to fall
Last man rise to take it all
Last define the best of what we do
Last man standing, last to fall
Last to rise and take it all
Last man in to tighten up the screw
Get in the mix and fight
Fight!

The fever turned to anger, the anger turned to hate
The hate became the reason, in the hands of fate
Without reservation, pause to dedicate
All our admiration, last man standing
Stronger by the dozen, stronger by score
Stronger by the thousands, with a cry of war
As god will be our witness and loyalty demanding
Fuck obliteration, last man standing

Last man standing, last to fall
Last to rise and take it all
Last define the best of what we do
Last man standing, last to fall
Last to rise and take it all
Last man in to tighten up the screw
Get in the mix and fight
Fight!

All of our footsteps have taken us here to the place that we all can call home
And all of our hearts sing together, in what we bring, all in a place we call home

Last man standing, last to fall
Last to rise and take it all
Last define the best of what we do
Last man standing, last to fall
Last to rise and take it all
Last man in to tighten up the screw
Get in the mix and...
Get in the mix and...
Get in the mix and fight!
Fight!
Fight!
Fight!
Fight!

2. Believe In The Fight

Gimme some money, gimme the right
Give me clear superiority
I know it ain't funny, I know it ain't right
I know it's mediocrity
Now I'm not one to piss on your parade
Or take a bow as the flames get higher
And I'm not one to be part of the charade
And pretend they ain't pissin'
Pissin' all over the fire

And we're not going tired
Or slowing quiet into the night
And we're not leaving something to believe in
When you think there's nothing left at all
Believe in the fight
And we do it

In the dark, in the light
One last time, let's get it right
With a heart as cold as ice
I believe in the fight
What do you believe in
In the dark, in the light
One last time, let's get it right
When there's nothing left to believe in
Believe in the fight

I need a reason, I need a slap
I need hard core reality
Change of the season, all full a crap
All full of virtuosity
Now you're not one to piss on my parade
To take a laugh as the bombs exploding
And I'm not one to be sharpening the blade
And pretend you ain't pissin'
Pissin' all over the

And we're not going tired
Or slowing quiet into the night
And we're not leaving something to believe in
When you think there's nothing left at all
Believe in the fight
And we do it

In the dark, in the light
One last time, let's get it right
With a heart as cold as ice
I believe in the fight
What do you believe in
In the dark, in the light
One last time, let's get it right
When there's nothing left to believe in
Believe in the fight

Bring it down

Total devastation
Let's bring the conversation into
Born into the fight
Lost in deprivation
Let's bring the allegation into
Born to get it right
Everybody beat to a different drum
Everybody wanna be number one
Everybody walk before they run
Everybody bite their lip and get it
Born to get it right
Born to die, born into the fight

Born to get it right
Everybody beat to a different drum
Born to die, born into the fight
Let's get it right
Born to get it right
Everybody wanna be number one
Born to die, born into the fight
Who's left to fight

We're not going tired
Or slowing quiet into the night
And we're not leaving something to believe in
When you think there's nothing left at all
Believe in the fight
And we do it

In the dark, in the light
One last time, let's get it right
With a heart as cold as ice
I believe in the fight
What do you believe in
In the dark, in the light
One last time, let's get it right
When there's nothing left to believe in
Believe in the fight

3. Head Of A Pin

God give me strength to recover
God give me strength, overcome
God put together something good for me
That can't be undone
Hand on the good book survival
Hand shading eyes from the sun
Hand in hand down that dirty road
We can't be undone
No it's number 1

How many times and how many crimes
No pill to break the fever
How many more will walk through the door
Turn doubter to believer
When you're alone
Say a little prayer for me

Hey there Mr. Pilot
Will you fly me to your hill?
And I will start the riots
I will teach them how to kill
When we finally get to heaven
Absolved of all our sin
We will know how many angels
On the head of a pin

I prayed like I thought I was dying
Prayed when I didn't believe
Prayed all the time on the dirty road
With no reprieve
Faith, drug of choice for the sinner
Hope was the reason outdone
Trust in me, we are hand in hand
We can't be undone

How many times and how many crimes
No pill to break the fever
How many more will walk through the door
Turn doubter to believer
When you're alone
Say a little prayer for me

Hey there Mr. Pilot
Will you fly me to your hill?
And I will start the riots
I will teach them how to kill
When we finally get to heaven
Absolved of all our sin
We will know how many angels
On the head of a...

Low, fast and mean we were killing the dream
Came the roar of the pipes and a banshee scream
And man held stop, didn't know what he mean
So we burned on by, we were singing mean green

Everybody said, that they knew him well
He was a man of god but you really couldn't tell
If the deal was real or if the angel fell
But we were singing mean green on the way to hell

Tear this place to the ground
Stone and dust lay all around
Don't you say exactly where you been
Dance with the angels on the head of a pin

Hey there Mr. Pilot
Will you fly me to your hill?
And I will start the riots
I will teach them how to kill
When we finally get to heaven
Absolved of all our sin
We will know how many angels
On the head of a pin

4. Bat Shit Crazy

Everybody out on the wing gone bat shit crazy
Everybody don't know a thing 'bout sense anymore
Conscious be your guide, life support and the truth is hazy
Everybody gone to hell
Say it's very hard to tell
Don't you know they wish you well, so die

Everyone bow to the morality king
Don't think aloud, hey it don't mean a thing
The people have spoke, those lips say we're lazy
Everybody goin', bat shit crazy

Someone hit the big red button and the shit went viral
And somebody pointed out that pig - nonconformist slob
Said we rise above but sure seemed like a downward spiral
I remember it like yesterday
Seems it's died or gone away
I've looked everywhere but now it's gone

Everyone bow to the morality king
Don't think aloud, hey it don't mean a thing
The people have spoke, those lips say we're lazy
Everybody goin'

I remember it like yesterday
Seems it's died and gone away
I've looked everywhere but now it's gone
It's gone

Everyone bow to the morality king
Don't think aloud, hey it don't mean a thing
The people have spoke, those lips say we're lazy
Everybody goin', bat shit crazy

Everyone bow to the morality (crazy)
Don't think aloud, hey it don't mean a (crazy)
The people have spoke, those lips say we're (crazy)
Everybody goin', bat shit crazy
Everybody goin', bat shit crazy
Everybody goin', bat shit crazy
Everybody goin', bat shit crazy
Everybody goin'

5. Distortion

I think of you when I'm feeling down
When my whole damn thing crashes to the ground

With a dancing blaze seen in your eyes
And a razor sharp tongue cuts through the lies

Everybody wants some
But only few believe
I won't be the first to overdose
On what I want, not what I need

Turn me up and play me loud
I won't back down and will be proud to say
Gimme what I want now
Distortion

I was born on the crest of a sonic wave
And you always made the best of my chronic rage
Distortion
Turbo, blast, jet fuel and sucking your power
Like the atomic clock strike on the hour
Distortion

Everybody wants some
But only few believe
I won't be the first to overdose
On what I want, not what I need

Turn me up and play me loud
I won't back down and will be proud to say
Gimme what I want now

Play what you feel, devil in the deal
A heart of stone and a soul of steel
Push it to the left, pull to the right
Add a little dark, add a little bright
He has put his finger on the blessed stack
And beckons you to linger, before you attack

Play what you feel, devil in the deal
A heart of stone and a soul of steel
Play what you feel, devil in the deal
A heart of stone and a soul of steel

Distortion

Everybody wants some
But only few believe
I won't be the first to overdose
On what I want, not what I need

Turn me up and play me loud
I won't back down and will be proud to say
Gimme what I want, gimme what I want

Distortion
Everybody wants some
Distortion
Distortion
Everybody needs some

6. A Mother's Prayer

Gonna rise up mother, gonna take back what is mine
Gonna hold it tight in my hand, till the end of time
And will you kiss my cheek as I toe the line
And yes forgive this boyish gall
Running through another wall

I stand, I fall, I want it all

I'm a shooting star across the night
I'm a flaming wreck that's burning bright
And I don't care how you feel
And I should seal the deal
In a mother's prayer, it's all, all right
All right

Let the game begin, let the chips fall where they may
Let the devil grin, no peace for me, let the angels fly away
And can we sit my arms around the fray
And please forgive my soulless hate
But not before it's all too late

I stand, I fall, I want it all
I take, I break, I'm your mistake

I'm a shooting star across the night
I'm a flaming wreck that's burning bright
I don't care how you feel
And I should seal the deal
In a mother's prayer, it's all, all right
All right

C'mon, c'mon, I'm begging forgiveness
C'mon, c'mon, I enter the fray
C'mon, c'mon, bestow the forgiveness
C'mon, c'mon, a brand new day
C'mon, c'mon, a brand new day
C'mon, c'mon, a brand new day

I'm a shooting star across the night
I'm a flaming wreck that's burning bright
And I don't care how you feel
And I should seal the deal
In a mother's prayer, it's all, all right
All right, all right

I'm a shooting star across the night

7. Welcome To The Garden State

Chaly got the power, John Boy got the amps to match
He's climbing up the tower to tap in to make our scratch
Good standing card carrying Jersey boys crank it up to a higher level
U-haul cross the state line, don't fuck with a Jersey devil

Welcome to the Garden State
Come on in the water's great
We're out of line and we got no time for you
Welcome to the Garden State
The best damn place in the U.S.A.
You may not agree, you bitch and you moan
I've been everywhere but it's never like home

We loaded up the Pacer, liquid gold in a twelve ounce cans
We're heading down the shore with Proc, Cheetah, Evan and the band
Out there where the medical waste and the water meets the sand
Watch your mouth, want a fresh one or you'll get the back of my hand
Big haired, gum chewing, Jersey girls. Good manners is what I hate
She said, this is Billy from Philly. Ok, get the fuck out of my state

Welcome to the Garden State
Come on in the water's great
We're out of line and we got no time for you
Welcome to the Garden State
The best damn place in the U.S.A.
You may not agree, you bitch and you moan
I've been everywhere but it's never like home
Been everywhere but it's never like home
Been everywhere but it's never like home

Backed up down the parkway, dead on 195
Turnpike has been crawling south and so is route 35
I got a taste for the best and it's better than the rest
So pull it over if you please
And I died on the side with my Jersey pride
Wanna follow my lead, then look at me

1 2, 1 2 3 4

Welcome to the Garden State
Come on in the water's great
We're out of line and we got no time for you
Welcome to the Garden State
The best damn place in the U.S.A.
You may not agree, you bitch and you moan
I've been everywhere but it's never like home

Welcome to the Garden State
Come on in the water's great
We're out of line and we got no time for you
Welcome to the Garden State
The best damn place in the U.S.A.
You may not agree, you bitch and you moan
I've been everywhere but it's never like home
Been everywhere but it's never like home
Been everywhere but it's never like home
Welcome to the Garden State

8. Where Few Dare To Walk

Cross your t's and dot your i's
Take note when the raven flies
And always keep one eye upon the fool
Without fear or favor speak to them
With good behavior to condemn
And keep the other eye upon the cruel

Reach down deep, stand your ground
We've only just begun
Turn no cheek, in step and pound
Until the job is done
And walk, walk

Call them out, on their shit
Demand they listen when you talk
Wear them down, bit by bit
And go where few dare to walk

Do unto others, as unto you
Bite down on the golden rule
And always keep a match to lite the fuse
Walk softly, carry a big stick
And disassemble brick by brick
And never think our outcome is to lose

Reach down deep, stand your ground
We've only just begun
Turn no cheek, in step and pound
Until the job is done
And walk, walk

Call them out, on their shit
Demand they listen when you talk
Wear them down, bit by bit
And go where few dare to walk

Where few dare to
Bite your lip, step in time
Lean on me, up we climb
Reach down deep, clench your fist
Turn no cheek, to resist

Where few dare to
Bite your lip, step in time
Lean on me, up we climb
Reach down deep, clench your fist
Turn no cheek, to resist

Call them out, on their shit
Demand they listen when you talk
Wear them down, bit by bit
And go where few dare to walk

Walk, walk, walk

9. Out On The Road-Kill

Running out of options, running out of road
Stopped to help me shoulder up my load
Invisible can't hear us, we make no sight or sound
We're heading due south to the underground

Supreme power and an upper hand
Imported in, from a foreign land
Some bad motherfuckers asking, where you been
I've been out on the road again
Road kill, road kill and cash in hand
Making hay in the native land
Viva the uproar, viva the stand
We gone out on the road again

Casting them in iron, casting the first stone
Stopped to breathe, I knew we're not alone
The first he was a lion, the second was a lamb
The third held proclamations for the damned

Don't leave me on the road
Don't leave me on the road
Don't leave me

Supreme power and an upper hand
Imported in, from a foreign land
Some bad motherfuckers asking, where you been
I've been out on the road again
Road kill, road kill and cash in hand
Making hay in the native land
Viva the uproar, viva the stand
We gone out on the road again

Hey don't you leave me on the road, on the road
Hey can you help me with my load to carry
Hey don't you leave me on the road, on the road
Hey don't you leave me, leave me on the road

Supreme power and an upper hand
Imported in, from a foreign land
Some bad motherfuckers asking, where you been
I've been out on the road again
Road kill, road kill and cash in hand
Making hay in the native land
Viva the uproar, viva the stand
We gone out on the road again

Running out of options, running out of road
Left to die [?]

10. Hole In My Soul

Rode a million miles to shed my skin
I can't say much about the state I'm in
There was a million trials, by fire to win
I can't say much about where I been
Who I seen, shed my skin
What I mean, who I am

All that pain, in the tortured brain
The bodies, the death toll
The last question, resurrection
My spirit black as coal

The mirror reflects, what's impossible to detect
The ever growing hole inside my soul
With all due respect, not to destroy or infect
The missing piece that makes my spirit whole

Turned a million smiles, upside down
Don't know much about this border town
I could taste the bile, can you scratch my itch
And I'd be obliged if you throw the switch
Scratch my itch, throw the switch
Shed my skin and throw the switch

All that pain, in the tortured brain
The bodies, the death toll
The last question, resurrection
My spirit black as coal

The mirror reflects, what's impossible to detect
The ever growing hole inside my soul
With all due respect, not to destroy or infect
The missing piece that makes my spirit whole
Hole in my soul

No pity on this lonesome outlaw
Who rides across your land
With a leather face and the devil's grin
You can see right through me
I'm a bad man

The mirror reflects, what's impossible to detect
The ever growing hole inside my soul
With all due respect, not to destroy or infect
The missing piece that makes my spirit whole
Hole in my soul
