Boomers' Legacy

Generation of depressed created by greed and selfishness.
Say you’ve paved the way, but all that’s left is a ruined place.
We’ve gotta rebuild this fucking mess.
And now you’re all afraid to leave ‘cause all you’ve ever known is how to feed the machine (fuck it).
Bigger cars and greener grass, that’s your only focus, you deluded mass. Spent you’re whole life cuffed to the same old desk.
Want me to follow your steps? What do you expect? (nah)
I’ll never follow your steps.
Your suits and ties are make-believes. We won’t comply to the American dream, we’ll raise our voices, make you swallow the truth.
This is the sound of a raging youth.
We see right through your false security.
Living on credit is modern slavery.
If we’re bound to work ‘til we’re dead and gone, we’d rather find something worth holding on.
We need to wake up and take action, they’re fucking leading us in the wrong direction.
Put an end to what has gone too far.

Worth The Ride
03:20
|

|
You wanna know why I keep at this, say I’m wasting my time.
That I’ve been at it for years, still my work’s not worth a dime.
You say you don’t understand what I’m trying to find.
Well if you listen up close then I will tell you what’s what.
I’ve realized, you can’t put a price on that feeling of spending your days with those who understand you and think the same about that so called dream life others chase.
We drove miles in the wrong direction, played when no one came, always kept our heads up when people doubted our ways.
Now this growing crowd starts to sing out loud and that’s just enough for us to keep on spitting our lungs out.
It’s all worth the ride.
You’ve got to understand, that I don’t fucking care, I’ve heard you bullshit advice before.
It’s not about getting paid, it’s about drinking cheap ale and falling asleep face down on the floor.
In fact I do this for my friends, the memories in the van, for the reason that it gives us to get out of this town, for the music, the bands and all those down to hang and there’s no reason for us to stop until everybody’s singing.
It’s all worth the ride.
You never got it, you never will.
You never got it and you never will so fuck off!
We’ll keep pushing on no matter what because...
It’s all worth the ride.
Everyday, everynight, worth the ride.

Hooked
02:20
|

|
Do you see what I see?
Do you hear what I hear?
I’ve never felt such power before, can barely keep my feet on the floor. From the first trip I really understood that I was hooked for good.
Yeah I was hooked for good.
It’s like I felt something for the first time.
Back to reality with one thing on my mind.
Gotta go back there to get some more, can barely keep my feet on the floor.
From the first trip I really understood that I was hooked for good!
Yeah I was hooked for good.

Lost Cause
03:12
|

|
I don’t know what I’m doing and I don’t know where i’m going.
This is the way I fucking feel everyday, nothing seems to make it ok.
How can I get out of this state?
I have a hard time to relate to anyone or anything, this life’s so horribly confusing.
Am I the only one unable to focus on anything?
‘Cause I don’t really know myself and what I want.
Constantly seeking who I am supposed to be.
Nothing seems to fucking fit my needs.
I don’t know what I’m doing and I don’t know where i’m going.
A constant headache everytime I wake, I don’t know how much more I can take.
How much more can I take?
My head’s about to burst and it’s only getting worse and worse and worse. My head’s about to burst, I've always felt alone in this universe.
Unable to focus on anything
‘cause I don’t really know myself and what I want.
Constantly seeking who I am supposed to be.
Nothing seems to fucking fit my needs.

Something True
03:09
|

|
Yeah I see you at the back of the room, arms crossed, acting though like you’ve got something to prove.
Talking shit with your crew about the new sounds and grooves?
I guess it’s easy to juge when you’ve got nothing to loose.
Yeah that’s right if the hat fits wear it tight.
You’re negative, only good at starting a fight.
This is the place where the kids build something true, no one needs your bullshit, no one needs you.
Go away, your cover’s blown away. Go away.
Motherfuckers want respect but there’s a price to pay.
Why can’t you open your eyes, open your mind and understand the only ones to battle with are those outside.
You like to spit on the passion growing inside these walls.
How ‘bout you start something your own if you’ve got the balls?
We’re spilling our guts in new forms of expression so quit the trash talk and embrace the refreshing.
This is the place where the kids build something true, no one needs your bullshit, no one needs you.
I’ll never give in to those who kill the vibe.
Let’s kick the bullys of the scene out one at a time.
Refuel the fire and keep it alive forever.
All together now.

Speed Wobbles

School’s out, the sun shines bright.
I’m gonna bomb that hill at the speed of light.
No big deal I’ve done it before.
Addicted to the thrills, I’m always back for more.
Droppin’ in / Gathering speed / Holly shit / Get the fuck out the way. Vision’s blurry, legs are shaky.
This wind blows hard, maybe I should worry.
Everything was going well until the moment that I fucking fell on my face.
I broke my arms and knees on my face.
Broke all my bones and my teeth on my face.
I’ll never walk again.
My life is now a living hell, because today I fucking fell on my face.
What’s moma gonna say about my face?
My girl will cheat on me in my face.
I’ll never be the same, my life is now a living hell, because today I fucking fell on my face.

Lucky Bastards

Emprisoned in so much hate, now you can barely see clear, you’ve come to fight what you fear.
You’re so devoted to a piece of fabric, you take pride in what was done centuries before you’ve come.
Let’s face it, it’s getting old.
We’ve heard your nonsense sayings about homeland defending.
But from what? From starving children.
What makes you special not them? that’s right nothing.
No matter what you say to me.
I’ll never turn my back my humanity.
I can’t believe, the words you preach.
No you don’t own this place, you only got lucky.
Yeah lucky, we’re nothing more.
We’re not the ones getting bombed or burning under the sun.
We’re privileged and so ungreatful, always complaining about shit.
Yeah bout shit!
Millions are begging for shelter and we’re just some lucky bastards.
What makes you special not them? that’s right nothing.
No matter what you say to me.
I’ll never turn my back my humanity.
I can’t believe, the words you preach.
No you don’t own this place, you only got lucky.
No matter what you say to me I’ll never turn my back my humanity.
Your narrow minds fill fade one day, but until then don’t ever fuckin talk to me.
Yeah fuck you all.
Say what you want, you can’t corrupt me.

Quarter Life Crisis
01:45
|
|||
|
I’m done, what the fuck have I become?
Bored and lost all the time, if only I could fix this life of mine. Yeah what’s up?
I used to picture myself in the future as a handsome and successful man. Instead I’m gaining weight and stacking debts, anxious and full of stress. Bring me back in time when there was nothing I couldn’t do.
When I was barely sleeping, but always dreaming.
Now I’m stuck in this job that I’ve got just to pay the bills and a couple of cheap shots. Help me out I can’t relate to anyone around
I’m forced to face the fact that all I have I owe it to the bank and I cannot afford any kind of way out.
So I’ll just stay home and watch four seasons straight of some old series while cyber stalking, cyber hating on exes and enemies.
What have I become? Yeah I swear I’m done.

Wet World

Fuck yeah summer is here again!
I’m heading to the waterpark with my best friends.
The Rock’n’roll, the Spirals, we’ll ride them all.
Don’t even try to stop us ‘cause we’re ready to brawl.
The lifeguard can go fuck himself, we’re gonna rage like no one else.
It’s a wet world I’m diving in, once a year with my friends can’t wait to do it again.
On top of the Everest that’s where I stand
and I don’t ever want this day to end.
So I gather the boys for one more round.
We’re gonna bring chaos to the Amazon.
The lifeguard can go fuck himself, we want the wavepool for ourselves.
Wet and wild! Can’t wait to do it again!

The Big Plan
02:34
|

|
Oh my friends they’re all so clever, they read a lot of things, do they question it? Never.
Oh my family they’re all so bright, always a new story about the show the other night.
And they talk and they talk and they never realise these empty words they’re fed slowly poison their minds.
And they share and they share everything that they find, ‘cause ignorance is bliss in the land of the blind.
And no one sees the big plan, they stick their heads in the sand.
24/7 you’re all forced fed.
Oh my neighbours they’re all brain dead.
A bullshit overdose made ‘em sick in the head.
And all those people think they’re doing just fine.
Still ignorance is bliss in the land of the blind.
And no one sees the big plan, they stick their heads in the sand.
I Can’t believe this is not a dream, the media wins over rational thinking. Fuck!
There’s nothing you can do to me ‘cause I forge my own beliefs.
I won’t crawl or bend down on my knees.
I’m not buying it.

A&R

|
The wolves are out and they’re hungry for something new.
Fresh bloodlust has no end and the preys are easily fooled.
The bait is shiny, temptation is hard to fight.
They’ll bring you up and hold you tight so you can never run from this golden cage that’s right.
The hunt goes on and that’s a wheel that won’t stop turning,
‘cause once they’re done with you they’ll just move on to the next target, to some more profit.
They will forever charm and sooner or later you’ll just give them what they want, but I won’t.
No I won’t.
‘Cause I see clear in this game they run.
They say they’ve got my back so it’s easier to stab.
The wolves are out and they’re all dressed as sheeps.
I won’t give them my soul, they won’t put me to sleep.
The wolves are out and they’re scouting for something new.
Snake charmers, grave diggers, they’ll take everything from you.
Believe me it’s a dangerous path to choose.
I’d rather be starving than being owned.
Live free and die unknown.
‘Cause I see clear in this game they run.
They say they’ve got my back so it’s easier to stab.
The wolves are out and they’re all dressed as sheeps.
I won’t give them my soul, they won’t put me to sleep.
