SLAPSHOT LYRICS

1. What's At Stake

Stick the needle into your arm
Do anything that does you harm
I see you falling down on the floor
I see you staggering out the door

You tried it and you liked it and you thought that
You could take it
Until you realized you couldn't escape it
How far you fall you don't know
Until you're at the bottom with a nose full of blow
You don't know what you're to me
To see you laying there so helplessly
Get yourself together, before it's too late
Or a life of pain will be your fate

You don't care about anyone
Just so long as you've had your fun
But not until you get your fix
And now you're taking a deep six

You tried it and you liked it and you thought that
You could take it
Until you realized you couldn't escape it
How far you fall you don't know
Until you're at the bottom with a nose full of blow
You don't know what you're to me
To see you laying there so helplessly
Get yourself together, before it's too late
Or a life of pain will be your fate

You tried it and you liked it and you thought that
You could take it
Until you realized you couldn't escape it
How far you fall you don't know
Until you're at the bottom with a nose full of blow
You don't know what you're to me
To see you laying there so helplessly
Get yourself together, before it's too late
Or a life of pain will be your fate

What's at stake
What's at stake
What's at stake

2. Firewalker

Firewalker - a smooth talker, who likes to prey on the weak
Firewalker - a false promise to a disciple you seek
Firewalker - you're preaching wisdom, that you don't know at all
Firewalker - we're just waiting, for your idol to fall

Haile Selassie is a fake
About that you'd better make no mistake
Christianity, fucks over its people on a bended knee
Let's see how much money we can make

Firewalker - Truth seeker, seeks a bigger lie
Firewalker - Faith healer, would rather see em die
Firewalker - Television, disease over the air
Firewalker - The second coming, but nobody cares

The chosen people are preaching hate
While the Vatican decides our fate
About that you'd better make no mistake
Terrorism, planting bombs in the name of god
There's only so much bullshit we can take

That veil of tears is a cheap disguise
But a billion sheep believed his lies
Interpretations based on greed
Get your head together now!

3. Dealing With Pennies

You're dealing with pennies
You're dealing with lies
That you've turned on us is no surprise
You're dealing with pennies
You're dealing with greed
The life you've been leading isn't all that you need
Your true colors come shining through
And you'll feel the pain for the things you do
Your true colors come shining through
Is a couple of bucks so important to you?

We once called you brother
We called you a friend
But you fucked us over
Again and again
Who cares about old times
Who cares anymore
We'll wait for the right time
To even the score

Your true colors come shining through
And you'll feel the pain for the things you do
Your true colors come shining through
Is a couple of bucks so important to you?

Your true colors come shining through
And you'll feel the pain for the things you do
Your true colors come shining through
Is a couple of bucks so important to you?

Your true colors come shining through
And you'll feel the pain for the things you do
Your true colors come shining through
Is a couple of bucks so important to you?

4. Transmission

Transmission - Suspicion who's got it find out no doubt
Transmission - Eradication, search and destroy

We've got to wipe out

Transmission - One million infected no more
Transmission - Precaution be careful or you get what's coming to you

Transmission
Transmission

Don't throw away the life you've built
Don't be another name left on the quilt
You keep it up and you'll end up dead
You've got a loaded gun at your head
You use the needle that the others use
Just pull the trigger and find out you lose
So now you're waiting for the end to come
Don't look back now, cause what's done is

Transmission - Incubation - Seven years later, good bye world
Transmission - Retribution God punish you - Well that's bullshit

Transmission - Redication keeps em alive to infect more
Transmission - Replication again and again and again and again and again

Transmission
Transmission

Now you come down with a positive test
You know you're dead but you'll do your best
Keep your hopes up that's what you told
You live in fear of the common cold
You never told you family
Obituary says H.I.V.
You'll never know what you've put them through
You've got to end the things you do

Transmission

5. Something To Prove

[Intro:] Yeah, I'd just wanted to how Youth of Today ripped Jack of and why he hates Bold so much. And my number in the US is [distorted phone-number] and I'm just wondering why you're so negative and violent towards, you know, people that don't have the same believes as you. If you could answer my questions I'd be great.

You think you've got the baddest scene
But you don't know what the baddest means
So don't tell stories that aren't true
'Cause when we come around you'll have something to prove

Something to prove
Something to prove
Something to prove
Something to prove
Something to prove!

You keep on bragging about your so-called crew
But we don't see anything you do
You tell old tales that never were
Inventing a scene you'll never have

Something to prove
Something to prove
Something to prove
Something to prove
Something to prove!

Something to prove
Something to prove
Something to prove
Something to prove
Something to prove!

6. Nation Of Hate

I see the violence on the TV screen
A man doused himself with gasoline
He lit a match went up in flames
I think this world is totally deranged
Read about a murder every day
You cannot hide cannot get away
Armageddon will be our fate
I think we're living in a nation of...

Nation of hate
Nation of hate
Nation of hate
Nation of hate

I hate him and he hates me
over who has the greatest scene
he shouts at me with idle threats
I won't be happy til I see him dead
See them on Phil Donahue
Geraldo's face is black and blue
The KKK and the JDL
I think we're all going to go to hell

Nation of hate
Nation of hate
Nation of hate
Nation of hate

Nation of hate
Nation of hate
Nation of hate
Nation of hate

Nation of hate
Nation of hate
Nation of hate
Nation of hate

Nation of hate
Nation of hate
Nation of hate
Nation of hate

7. Punk's Dead, You're Next

You talk about acceptance but just look at you
Now you can join the mainstream
When you look the way you do
You talk about anarchy well I'll show you some
You won't last one minute if the real thing comes

Punk's dead, you're next
Punk's dead, you're next
Punk's dead, you're next
Punk's dead, you're next

You want to worship Wattie that not the way to be
You think your looks don't matter well we'll just wait and see
You'll end up like the other's all fucked up or dead
Taking shit from people or get kicked in the head

Punk's dead, you're next
Punk's dead, you're next
Punk's dead, you're next
Punk's dead, you're next

Punk's dead, you're next
Punk's dead, you're next
Punk's dead, you're next
Punk's dead, you're next

Who's next?

8. Say Goodbye

Say goodbye not goodnight
Half a bottle should be right
No trouble no more pain
Throw your life down the drain
But what about the people left behind
The lifeless body that your mother finds
You won't be happy til the deed is done
You've lost your battle but you still won

You say your friends hate you
Still they came to see you
Now you're gone but pain stays
Their friends gone - we remain

But what about the people left behind
The lifeless body that your mother finds
You won't be happy til the deed is done
You've lost your battle but you still won

But what about the people left behind
The lifeless body that your mother finds
You won't be happy til the deed is done
You've lost your battle but you still won

But what about the people left behind
The lifeless body that your mother finds
You won't be happy til the deed is done
You've lost your battle but you still won

9. War On Drugs

We're fighting a war we can't win
But it's a war we can't afford to lose
Corrupt officials play the game
And America's habit is to blame

Another judge cut down today
Cartel's hit squad, here to stay
Motherfuckers don't deserve to live
If they give violence that's what we'll give

Casual user snorting lies
While another innocent person dies
Cheap thrills blood spills
It's a no-win-war and we foot the bill

But there's no way to stop the flow
Watch your children's habit grow

Intimidation is the game.
Cut them down they're all the same
Send them all to hell...

10. Get Me Out

Eight of us hit NYC - we're gonna have ourselves some fun
We do everything we want but then we've got to run

Take me away, I can't stay, get me out of here
Take me away, I can't stay, get me out of here
Take me away, I can't stay, get me out of here
Take me away, I can't stay, get me out of here

We've hit Peepland, we've hit Famous Ray's, we've been hanging out in St. Marks square
But we've got to get out of this stinking place, even though we have fun down here.

Take me away, I can't stay, get me out of here
Take me away, I can't stay, get me out of here
Take me away, I can't stay, get me out of here
Take me away, I can't stay, get me out of here

Take me away, I can't stay, get me out of here
Take me away, I can't stay, get me out of here
Take me away, I can't stay, get me out of here
Take me away, I can't stay, get me out of here

11. Change

There's people freezing
Out on the streets
Nowhere to turn
Nowhere to sleep - change

Change
Change
Change
Change

You say they're worthless
Just let em die
Let's see you out there
Let's watch you die

Change
Change
Change
Change

Change
Change
Change
Change

12. White Rabbit

[originally by Jefferson Airplane]

One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice, when she's ten feet tall

And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah-smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
And call Alice, when she was just small

When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low
Go ask Alice, I think she'll know

When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the white knight is talking backwards
And the red queen's off with her head
Remember what the dormouse said
Feed your head, feed your head

One pill makes you nervous
And one pill makes you fall
And the ones that you've been taking
Won't do you any good at all
Go ask Alice, she just hit the floor

Now, you say you could take it
Yeah, you'd say anything
But when your habbit does all the talking
Yeah, you'd say anything
You could ask Alice, but I think she's gone

Now, you've just lost all your money
And you've been thrown out of your home
But for one more gram of cocaine
You'd sell you very soul
Go ask Alice, well, now she knows

She's living in a dreamworld
[?]
But you'd better pull yourself together
'Cause this is reality
But I think that you'd might be better off dead
Use your head
Use your head
Use your head

13. Chip On My Shoulder

Walking around and all I see
Druggies and alkies all around me
Blowing their smoke in my face
Talking to me from outer space
Go to the square and they ask me
To buy for them or smoke some weed
Tell them to fuck off - go away
They say I've got a problem
Yeah, I got a chip on my shoulder

Chip on my shoulder
Chip on my shoulder

Chip on my shoulder
Chip on my shoulder

Chip on my shoulder
Chip on my shoulder

Hanging around of a Friday night
Shithead always getting into fights
I'm fed up with all of you
But there's nothing I can do
Go to the square and they ask me
To buy for them or smoke some weed
Tell them to fuck off - go away
They say I've got a problem
Yeah, I got a chip on my shoulder

Chip on my shoulder
Chip on my shoulder

Chip on my shoulder
Chip on my shoulder

Chip on my shoulder
Chip on my shoulder

Chip on my shoulder
Chip on my shoulder

Walking around and all I see
Druggies and alkies all around me
Blowing their smoke in my face
Talking to me from outer space
Go to the square and they ask me
To buy for them or smoke some weed
Tell them to fuck off - go away
They say I've got a problem
Yeah, I got a chip on my shoulder

Chip on my shoulder
Chip on my shoulder

Chip on my shoulder
Chip on my shoulder

Chip on my shoulder
Chip on my shoulder

Chip on my shoulder
Chip on my shoulder

Knock it off!

14. Moment Of Truth

You hide behind every reason, behind a pack of lies
You think we all buy what you sell
So the way you live your life isn't everything you want
So you make up the life you want to tell

Moment of truth
Moment of truth
Moment of truth

You make up lots of stories
You make up lots of tales
But you don't know what through these angry eyes
Just once in your life, can you tell what is what
Instead of handing us the lies

Moment of truth
Moment of truth
Moment of truth
Moment of truth

Moment of truth
Moment of truth
Moment of truth
Moment of truth

Moment
Moment
Moment
Moment... of truth!
