Old enough to know better, too young to even care
The do's and don't's, the rights and wrongs
I am human, I am man
I never claimed to eat from a silver spoon
I am the type of person who would watch you get raped by a rabid racoon
My mother told me that it's better to eat shit than not eat at all
It's a dog eat dog world out there and I am wearing milk hone underwear
I'm not saying that I am proud of my past, but there's nothing I can do to change myself, a better future
When I get caught in my drunken binge
It's hard for me to keep the horns from coming out of my forehead
I must get myself out of sun and into shelter
My inner instincts have taken me over once again
The state and local authorities are right on my trail
The time has come to end it all
I slit my wrist and wait for...

My fellow committee member, can I ask you a favor?
As our party looks towards the future and the promise of new leadership
Today, I am asking your support as I seek our party's nomination for the privilege as serving as our next county sheriff
No other candidate has ever brought this party the hands on training
Perhaps there is no office in this county severe for the safety, safety of our citizens than that of our sheriff
The needs for this department is great and apparent
As a candidate for your nomination, I will offer you, you and voters of this county the aggressive issues-oriented campaign that will once again inspire public confidence

Inside politics, inside!
Inside politics, inside!
Fuck you and your politics
Which side of your face do you speak from?
All the lies that you promised us
Well dressed man, disguised election
Time is rolling around, door to door campaign once again
How many more lies will you tell us to the end?
To the end of the line, your term has just expired
I wouldn't vote for you this year or for a case of beer
Now your job's at stake, look who's holding the rake
The party that you once adored has closed its doors on you!
Inside politics, inside!
Inside politics, inside!
Off to the poles on this Tuesday, remember in November is what I'm told How bad do you really need my vote?
With a stern face, you stare me down wondering what buttons I will push Don't worry buddy, it's not yours!
Going right, don't pull me left, my vote is between me and my conscience
Never seen a man so respected sweat that bad
The curtain has just opened
My decision just has been made
To you, I look and smile for your fucking exile
Look who's stocking shelves at the local K-Mart
How does it feel to make minimum wage?
Bet you can't make your mortgage payment on time this month
Your wife has left you here to rot
Off to bed with your running mate
Your wife holds him forever tight as he plows her every night
A little more honesty has fulfilled your dreams
Politics has brought you down
I smile as you start to frown
Inside politics, inside!
Inside politics, inside!

Thought you were mine, me and you against the world
Now, your colors came out
Knew it was just a matter of time
A matter of time before you failed me
Left me here crying sorrow
Sorrow is the word, trust no one is what I've learned
Castle has come crumblin' down, Queen has been caught running around
Now, this king's bloodiest battle is ahead
The battle of reality that is steering my head, steering my head in all the wrong directions
Now, I worry if I have been infected
Should I raise my sword over the head of my betrayer?
Kill the queen, I said Kill the Queen!
Her savior should I throw to the lions?
Maybe, have their head delivered to me on a platter
Magician came to me and looked me in the eyes
At their death, all evil is purified
To this king, it still won't justify what you've done or what I've given
All the furs that I have killed for you, all the gemstones I have stole
I will ride my dragon along this long fought battle with my sword in hand
I will make this final stand
You won't dethrone this king
This king is strong at heart, my queen is soft and weak
Into the fire, let the sacrifice begin
Time to meet your maker just like your pawn did
Watch your skin melt off your corrupted bones
Your bodies on fire, my blood is nice and cold

Gotta get myself up and into the shower
Alarm never went off, now my boss is really sour
Lookin' for my boots, my Herman Survivors
Now I'm fuckin' stuck behind a school bus driver
Now I have to go explain why I am late
Dock me for an hour, work starts at 8
Didn't get a chance to pack myself a lunch
No breakfast in my stomach, all it does is growl
I am hungry as a dog, gotta stick the day out to get myself some pay,
Go the store after 8 hours, the wife just called no bread, the milk is sour
Got my check in hand less than it should be
Can't pay my rent or my Nimo bill
Running out of gas in my beat up Blazer
Want to shave my face, bu I have no razor
Looking in the paper for new employment when you have no money, you don't have enjoyment
At least I have my family, my wife and my kids
Can't forget about my brothers and purebred pits
There has got to be a better place than this
Taxes are killing me, I've got to feed the kids
My clothes are dirty, I have no detergent
I haven't showered in a couple days
Have enough money for a pack of smokes
Cancer is killing me, it's gonna bury me
The harder you work, the younger you die
Death is certain, life is not

I close my eyes and wonder why I haven't chose my friends that well
In the past, they seemed like brothers
As time progressed, I seen they all fell
But, now I stand alone and by myself
In which direction should I go?
I'm blinded by the light
I can't see anything except the shadows of my foes
Rise and fall of our foes, rise and fall of our foes
The shadows of my foes are multiplying one by one
They stand in front of me looking' over my shoulder
Never gonna guess what I see in the distant dark
I see an army marching right my way
It's time to go to war, let's see who has to balls to play
Hope this time you brought your bullet proof vest
You're gonna need it, won't leave here till you're dead
Let's see if your bad blood can penetrate 100 grains of lead
One by one, the muzzleloaders fire
Sudden burst of shotgun rings my ear
Final shot from the sniper lets me know that the coast is clear
Aftermath is here now
Tally up the casualties, see that we did well
The bloody bodies seem frozen on the path that you have chosen
Thank god for the right to bare arms
Now I know that I am free from harm
Hope you learned your lesson
Spread the word of who you're messin' with
My true brothers came with
They're shoot'n eye despite the consequences
Weren't afraid to die or afraid to fight
When the paramedics got to the scene, they were horrified at what they had seen
You know what they was told, it's the rise and fall of our foes
Rise and fall of our foes, rise and fall of our foes

Go to work everyday just to make some honest pay
I wear my filthy same clothes every day
You get up in the morning, you buy yourself a 40
At whose expense are these fuckin' paid?
You are a welfare cheat, get on your own two feet
Let us see you work a 40 hour week
Why would you want to?
Everything is free: your rent, your food, your cable TV
Spit out a kid one at a time
Get paid more money, everything is fine
You've got your benefits, they're better than mine
I work 2 jobs just to survive
JUST TO SURVIVE!

What's up with society?
Punk motherfuckers snitchin' like it's okay
No code of honor like those yesterdays
This fuckin' world has got me in a rage
You bought my brother down
You took my brother down
FUCK THAT, I ain't havin' it
Nor is the crew
So now we're comin' for you, FOR YOU
So now we're comin' for you, FACE DOWN

Got nothing to prove, nothing to prove to you
Got nothing to lose, nothing to lose on you
No shoulder to lean on, nobody to turn to
No one to turn to
I'll burn you alive
Look through these eyes, share a moment in my life
Are you appalled with me? Well, you ought to be
Broke as hell, I have nowhere to turn to
Do what I have to do to survive
Gotta get something, need to get some loot
Never thought I'd be so low
Gotta gotta gotta take control
DOUBLE BARREL BY MY SIDE, GONNA TAKE WHAT'S MINE
Get up, get up, get up, get on your feet

Dying Breed - Throw Away
02:54
|
|||
|
All alone runnin' so far away I'll never be found
A new home, a place to call my own
Got a wife and kid to raise, enough to make a sane man crazed
What's with me, another wrong thing done?
So throw away what you can do without, don't let yourself forget what it's all about
So throw away what you can do without, don't let yourself forget what it's all about
If you leave, I will follow as this dream slowly fades away
In the long run, you will lose
Gotta get my mind made up
Straighten out or take the cut
Your lead is where the path will flow
So throw away what you can do without, don't let yourself forget what it's all about
So throw away what you can do without, don't let yourself forget what it's all about

Dying Breed - Rise
02:57
|

|
All shall rise, all shall fall
Let the old die off, let the new be born
Step aside, old man
And let me begin where you left off from
THE NEW REGIME HAS BEGUN
Today isn't what it once was
I have become unjust in your eyes
Unkind conscienceless
I don't give a damn about you
DYING...BREED
Time for me to move on
Society made me what I am
Take what's mine, everything is mine for the taking
Bastard son, I am
Young, free, don't give a damn

Deep depression...inside my mind
Hatred seeks its way
Searching an escape...I cannot find
Maybe, maybe some day you'll learn my ways
Dealing with pain...I cannot cope
My ways chosen are defective
I'll lose my life...to gain hope
Death, death's my only dependent
The difference between power and pride is ignorance
White is my color, not my politics
Strive hard to keep my chin up
And then I see I'm a dying breed
Words mixed with emotions in a whole new deed

Dying Breed - Lockdown

ENOUGH WITH THE LIFE!
Had all I can take from it, don't tell me I'm alright
This time I've seen all I need from here!
Time to pack my bags, gotta get up and go, this fuckin' ghettos got me losin' control
It's a life of crime in the new signs of times
Move it! Save what you've got to say
Ain't hearing your preaching anyway
So ignorant I'll remain
And I have no fear!...of what's in front of me
There's a million motherfuckers out there with the same mentality
Gotta keep my nose clean on these streets so they don't lock me down
LOCK DOWN, so they don't lock me down
LOCK DOWN!
TOO MUCH, TOO MUCH, MUCH TOO MUCH HATE FOR YOU!
NORTH TROY, SOUTH TROY, TROYCORE AGAINST THE MOTHERFUCKIN' WORLD
