RAP CRAP
(Al Dimalanta)

NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT I WANT TO LISTEN TO
BUT I CAN TELL YOU, I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU
YOUR ENDLESS RAPPING IS GETTING ON MY NERVES
DO US ALL A FAVOR, JUST DO SOMETHING NEW

DON'T YOU KNOW ANYTHING BETTER TO DO WITH YOUR LIFE
THAN JUST BEING A LITTLE BROWN COPYCAT?
YOUR ENDLESS RAPPING IS GETTING ON MY NERVES
DO SOCIETY A FAVOR, BETTER JUST SHUT UP!

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN THE NOVELTY WEARS OFF?
STOP THAT STUPID RAP , YOU'RE GETTING ON MY NERVES!
WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN EVERYONE'S HAD ENOUGH?
CUT THAT FUCKING CRAP, YOU'RE GETTING ON MY NERVES!
I GUESS YOU'LL JUST LOOK FOR A DIFFERENT BAND.....
THAT YOU CAN IMITATE

BECAUSE NO ONE CAN TELL YOU WHAT YOU SHOULD NEVER DO
BUT I CAN TELL YOU I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU
YOUR STUPID RAPPING IS GETTING ON MY NERVES
DO US ALL A FAVOR, WON'T YOU JUST GET LOST!

DON'T YOU KNOW ANYTHING BETTER TO DO WITH YOUR LIFE?
THAN PLAYING RAP CRAP AND PRETENDING TO BE WHITE?
YOUR SHAMELESS RAPPING IS GETTING ON MY NERVES
DO YOURSELF A FAVOR, STOP THAT FUCKING RAP


SHOWBIZ HARDCORE
(Dennis Maniego / Al Dimalanta)

(YOU HAVE...)
HARDCORE IS A FAD FOR YOU
AND YOU THINK THAT IS COOL


(NO RIGHT...)
SIGNING UP AND PLAYING CLUBS
ARE JUST OKAY WITH YOU


(TO CALL...)
YOU ONLY KNOW THE VICTORY BANDS,
YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW THE REST


(YOURSELVES...)
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT HARDCORE IS
AND HOW IT CAME TO BE


(HARDCORE!)

CONVICTION, SUBVERSION, REBELLION
RECCESION, OBSESSION, RELIGION
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY MEAN.....

SHOWBIZ HARDCORE SHOWBIZ... SHOWBIZ!

(YOU ARE...)
HARDCORE ISN'T JUST A TREND
LIKE WHAT YOU REALLY THINK


(JUST A...)
YOU EVEN HAVE THE GUTS TO SAY
YOU'RE BETTER THAN THE REST


(BUNCH OF...)
YOUR MAJOR LABEL DEAL JUST PROVES
YOU WRONG FROM THE START


(STUPID...)
YOU TELL OTHERS YOU'RE HARDCORE
BUT DEEP INSIDE YOU KNOW YOU'RE NOT

(POSERS!)

SAVE
(Al Dimalanta)

I WISH THAT LIFE WON'T DIE ON ME
OR FADE INTO SHEER NOTHINGNESS
THE FAMILIAR LONELINESS OF WANTING SO MUCH
LIFE SIMPLY JUST AIN'T ENOUGH

SAVE ME, I'M DROWNING, I FEEL SO MUCH PAIN
WAKING UP EACH MORNING TO A LIFE I CAN'T EXPLAIN
I AM ALONE AND YET NOBODY KNOWS
SAVE ME RIGHT NOW FROM MYSELF!

SOMETIMES I WONDER WHAT IT'S LIKE
TO NOT EVER KNOW HOW TO FEEL
NO LOVE AND NO HATE,
NO JOY AND NO PAIN
LIFE SIMPLY JUST AIN'T ENOUGH

STOP ME FROM NOT WANTING TO SACRIFICE
NEVER EVER WANTING TO REALLY PAY THE PRICE
I AM MY PAIN AND I AM MY FEAR
SAVE ME RIGHT NOW FROM MYSELF!

I ALWAYS WONDER WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE ABUSED
TO WAKE UP AT NIGHT FEELING BATTERED, TIRED AND USED
TO BE FILLED WITH RAGE THAT I JUST CAN'T RELEASE
TO WANT JUST A SEMBLANCE OF SOME INNER PEACE.

STOP ME FROM FOLLOWING THE TRAILS OF MY TEARS
FROM DECEIVING MYSELF THAT THERE WON'T BE BETTER YEARS
I AM ALL MY LIFE, I AM ALL MY DEATH.....

I ONCE THOUGHT THAT MAYBE THIS IS LIFE
AS IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE
BUT WHAT'S THE USE OF CHOICES,
WHAT'S THE USE OF FREEDOM
WHEN THEY ALL LEAD TO THE SAME PAIN?

SAVE ME, I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF ALL OF LIFE'S TESTS
I HATE WAKING UP WITH THIS PAIN ON MY CHEST
CURSING THE EMPTINESS THAT I MYSELF CAUSED
SAVE ME FROM MY OWN SELF!

HANG
(Al Dimalanta)

IT'S HAPPENING TO US ONCE AGAIN
THERE ARE DEMONS IN OUR MIDST
WE HAVE TO FLUSH OUT ALL THESE JERKS,
THAT'S WHAT WE OUGHT TO DO.
LETS CREAM THE DEMONS WITH JAGGED KNIVES
BUT WE MUST SEE WHERE THEY ARE.
RUN THESE BASTARDS TO THE GROUND,
THAT'S WHAT WE OUGHT TO DO.

REFRAIN:

I'VE SAID THIS OH SO MANY TIMES BEFORE,
I'LL SAY IT ONCE MORE
THERE'S NO ROOM IN THIS WORLD FOR TRASH!
LET'S RID OURSELVES OF THESE BUGGERS
WHO ROB, RAPE AND KILL!
LET'S HANG THESE DEMONS NOW
BEFORE THEY GET AWAY!

CHORUS:

HANG THE DEMONS! KILL THE GOONS!
FLOG THE FUCKERS!
THAT'S WHAT WE OUGHT TO DO!
BURN THE KILLERS! CUT THEIR DICKS
BURN THEIR BITCHES!
THAT'S WHAT WE OUGHT TO DO!

VIOLENCE BEGETS VIOLENCE,
THERE'S NOTHING MUCH TO GAIN.
BUT VIOLENCE DESERVES VIOLENCE,
NO MERCY AND MUCH PAIN!
WE SHOULD ALWAYS FIGHT FOR THE TRUTH
FUCK THOSE WHO SEIZE CONTROL
NEVER AGAIN MUST WE LET THEM ROB US
BLIND JUST LIKE BEFORE!

WE'RE HERE AGAIN, BUGGING YOU AGAIN
ONCE AGAIN LET'S SHOUT...
LET'S HANG ALL OUR DEMONS NOW!!!

EXISTENCE
(Al Dimalanta)

IT SUCKS!

WHAT IS THE PRICE OF DOING
WHAT WE REALLY WANT TO DO?
WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES OF
CHOOSING WHAT WE WANT IN LIFE?
WE LIVE OUR LIVES FOR EVERYBODY
BUT OURSELVES,
BUT SHOULD WE REALLY CARE
WHAT THEY THINK?

REFRAIN:

HOW CAN WE LIVE OUR DREAMS
WHEN WE JUST LIVE UP TO A ROLE?
OUR FUCKING BOXED EXISTENCE SUCKS.
IT SUCKS!

WHAT IS THE PRICE OF WANTING
WHAT THEY SAY WE SHOULDN'T HAVE?
WHAT IS THE PUNISHMENT FOR HATING
TO BE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE?
WE LIVE OUR LIVES TO DO
WHAT EVERYBODY WANTS.
BUT DO THEY REALLY CARE
WHAT BECOMES OF US?

I HAVE A DREAM TO ONE DAY
WAKE UP AND BE MYSELF,
TO REALLY DO WHAT I WANT
AND JUST NOT GIVE A DAMN,
TO TAKE THE LONG ROAD AND
NOT TO BE WORRIED ABOUT
COMING BACK,
WITHOUT ANY FUCKING CARE
IN THE WORLD.

THE STORM
(Bimboi San Pedro / Al Dimalanta)

I WOKE UP IN A CLOUD OF HAZE
I VAGUELY REMEMBER LAST NIGHT'S BLAZE
CLOUDS ARE HANGING ABOVE MY HEAD
A STORM IS BREWING.

BLUE SKIES HAVE TURNED DARK GREY
I THINK I BETTER STAY IN MY PLACE
THE DAMP AIR CHOKES MY BREATH
THE STORM IS COMING AND I MUST PREPARE.

FIGHT FOR OUR RIGHTS!
EVEN IF WE GIVE UP OUR PEACE
STAND UP, BE HEARD!
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO MEAN WAR!

BRAVE THE RAINS!
THE FLOODS AND THE WINDS OF WRATH
THE STORM IS HERE!
WE SHOULDN'T BE AFRAID.

I WOKE UP WITH A BITTER TASTE
IN MY MOUTH AND INSIDE MY HEAD
I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT I SAID
BUT A STORM IS BREWING.

GREY SKIES HAVE TURNED PITCH BLACK.
I THINK I BETTER GO OUTSIDE.
THE HOT AIR BURNS MY TONGUE
THE STORM IS NEAR AND I MUST HOLD ON

I SMELL THE SCENT OF BURNING LEAVES
I FEEL THE HEAT OF A SCORCHING HEART
I RUE THE TASTE OF PRETENTIOUS LOVE
I BRACE FOR THE STORM.

HOLD MY HAND NOW
DON'T BE AFRAID
SPEAK UP YOUR MIND
AND WEATHER THE STORM

I FEEL THE PAIN OF A HUNDRED YEARS
I BEAR THE WEIGHT OF A THOUSAND WANTS
I ABHOR THE TASTE OF MY BITTER PILL
I HATE THIS STORM.

MORE THAN ENOUGH
(Bimboi San Pedro / Al Dimalanta)

YOU HAVE GIVEN ME MORE THAN I NEED IN MY LIFE
THAT'S WHAT YOU DID.
YOU HAVE GIVEN ME ALL THAT I WANTED TO HAVE
AND THAT'S MORE THAN ENOUGH!

REFRAIN:

I'M NOT ASHAMED TO SAY I BELIEVE
I'M NOT ASHAMED TO SAY THAT I NEED
WHENEVER I BLEED, WHENEVER I HURT
I JUST CALL ON YOU AND EVERYTHING'S FINE!

YOU HAVE GIVEN ME EVERYTHING I NEED IN MY LIFE,
THAT'S WHAT YOU DID.
YOU HAVE SHOWN ME UNDYING PATIENCE
FOR ALL OF MY MISTAKES!

YOU NEVER TURN YOUR BACK ON ME
YOU NEVER EVER LET ME BE
YOU NEVER EVER LET ME DOWN
I KNOW YOU'LL ALWAYS BE AROUND

(YOU HAVE GIVEN ME) EVERYTHING ! (4X)

THAT'S MORE THAN ENOUGH
WAY MORE THAN ENOUGH
YOU HAVE GIVEN ME
MORE THAN ENOUGH!

THE WAY I WANT TO BE
(Al Dimalanta)

MOST PEOPLE THINK I'M UNUSUAL
THEY OFTEN SAY MY BEHAVIOR IS WEIRD
I KNOW WHY THEY THINK THAT WAY OF ME
BUT PERSONALLY I THINK I'M DOING JUST FINE

WHENEVER I WALK INTO A ROOM
I NOTICE THEY ALWAYS STARE AT ME
AFRAID I MIGHT DO SOMETHING INSANE
IT'S OKAY 'CAUSE I REALLY BELIEVE THAT...

I'M CRAZY!
I'M SO FUCKING CRAZY
I REALLY THINK THAT I'M CRAZY
BUT THAT'S THE WAY I WANT TO BE !

I HATE TO BE SUCH A STEREOTYPE
BEHAVE THE WAY PEOPLE EXPECT ME TO
I HATE TO BE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE
I HATE TO BE LIKE YOU !

I WANT TO BE DIFFERENT FROM THE REST
I JUST WANT TO BE MYSELF,
I DON'T HAVE TO BE THE BEST.
I WANT TO STICK OUT LIKE A SORE THUMB
AND THIS IS WHY I REALLY BELIEVE THAT...

BRIDGE:

DON'T EXPECT ME TO DO THE THINGS YOU DO
DON'T EXPECT ME TO LIKE THE THINGS YOU LIKE
DON'T EXPECT ME TO TALK THE WAY YOU TALK
DON'T EXPECT ME TO BE LIKE YOU
DON'T EXPECT ME TO LIKE YOU CAUSE...

EVERYTHING IS SHIT
(Bimboi San Pedro / Al Dimalanta)

JUST WHEN I THINK THAT EVERYTHING'S FINE
SOMETHING HAPPENS TO SCREW UP MY LIFE
JUST WHEN EVERYTHING IS GOING SO SMOOTHLY
BAD LUCK HITS AND FUCKS UP MY PLANS

WHAT CAN I SAY? THAT'S ALWAYS THE CASE.
I GUESS I'M REALLY JUST A WASTE OF SPACE.
SORRY FOR WASTING YOUR PRECIOUS TIME
DON'T WORRY BUT I ALSO WASTED MINE
BECAUSE...

NOTHING...
NOTHING EVER GOES MY WAY
NOTHING GOES MY WAY
NOTHING REALLY GOES MY WAY

EVERYTHING IS SHIT !

WHAT CAN I SAY? IT'S ALWAYS THE SAME
WHEN I ENJOY THE SUNSHINE, SUDDENLY IT RAINS
SORRY I REALLY DON'T FEEL SO GOOD
DON'T WORRY I WON'T SPOIL YOUR MOOD
BUT...

WHAT SHOULD I DO...DO TO CHANGE MY LUCK?
WHAT SHOULD I SAY? HOW CAN I REACH MY DREAMS...

MIRROR
(Dennis Maniego / Al Dimalanta)

I LOOK INTO THE MIRROR AND I SEE
THE IMAGE OF A MAN
WHO'S BEATEN BLACK AND BLUE.
I WAS HOPING TO SEE YOU.

I LOOK INTO THE MIRROR AND I SEE
THE SCARRED AND BATTERED FACE OF A MAN
I DON'T RECOGNIZE,
WITH LOOKS AS COLD AS ICE

DON'T EVER TELL ME THAT
MIRRORS DON'T EVER LIE.

CHORUS:

I SEE THE LINES ON MY FACE OR
ARE THEY CRACKS IN THE GLASS
ANOTHER YEAR HAS PASSED BUT
MY MIND STILL DWELLS ON THE PAST
WITH EVERY STEP I TAKE I GO
DEEPER INTO THE WELL
WHATEVER HAPPENS I KNOW
I HAVE TO SURVIVE THIS HELL.

I LOOK INSIDE MYSELF AND I SEE THE SOUL
OF A MAN WHO DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
I WAS HOPING THAT HE KNEW !

I LOOK INSIDE MY MIND AND I CAN'T FIGURE OUT
JUST WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON
WHAT COULD HAVE GONE WRONG?

DON'T EVER TELL ME THAT MIRRORS
DON'T EVER LIE.

I WON'T SLIP AWAY
NO I WON'T LET MY HOPES DECAY !
I WON'T BREAK THE GLASS
I'LL JUST TRY MY BEST TO BREAK FREE
FROM THE PAST...

WHAT I SEE I NOT REALLY WHAT I GET
WHATEVER IT TAKES I WON'T EVER FORGET
MY REFLECTION SHOWS HUNDREDS OF
INSANE WARS
I KNOW MY REAL SELF LIES
BENEATH THE SCARS

IN WAR
(Bimboi San Pedro / Al Dimalanta)

DEATH. PAIN. MURDER. GRIEF. SUFFER. TO DIE.....
THAT'S WHAT WAR IS REALLY ALL ABOUT !

MAIM. KILL. HUNT. DESTROY. SUFFER. TO DIE.....
IS THAT WHAT WE ALL REALLY AIM FOR ?

IN WAR, NOTHING REALLY MATTERS
ONE'S LIFE BECOMES JUST A NUMBER
THEY JUST KILL ANYONE AND EVERYONE
IT'S JUST A MATTER OF WHO KILLS MORE
WHAT FOR ?


HOW EASILY WE FORGET OF WAR'S GHASTLY TOLL
AS EVENTS RUMBLE QUICKLY PAST OUR SUSPENDED LIVES
HOW EASILY WE BECOME VICTIMS OF HATE
NERVOUSLY WAITING FOR THE TERROR THAT MIGHT COME


HOW DO WE PICK UP THE PIECES WHEN IT'S DONE?
WHEN ALL THE PIECES HAVE BEEN SCATTERED ALL IN DUST
HOW DO WE LIVE AS IF NOTHING IS GOING ON
WHEN EVERYWHERE WE LOOK WE SEE FACES ETCHED WITH FEAR.

YOUR RELIGION KILLS
(Dennis Maniego / Al Dimalanta)

WHAT KIND OF MONSTER ARE YOU?
WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
WHAT KIND OF WAR ARE YOU LEADING?
WHAT ARE YOU ON?
WHAT KIND OF HATRED ARE YOU PREACHING?
WHAT KIND OF LIES?
WHERE DO YOU GET OFF SEEING
SO MANY PEOPLE DIE?

WHAT IS YOUR NAME AGAIN?
WHAT IS IT THAT YOU'RE FIGHTING FOR?
WHAT DO YOU DO TO YOURSELF
WHENEVER YOU ARE BORED?
WHAT DID YOUR PARENTS DO TO YOU
WHEN YOU WHERE STILL QUITE YOUNG?
OR DO YOU HAVE A TWISTED SENSE
OF RIGHT AND WRONG?

WHAT 'S YOUR RELIGION?
WHAT IS YOUR RACE?
HOW DID YOU EVER GET TO BE
IN YOUR STUPID PLACE?

WHAT'S YOUR RELIGION?
WHAT'S YOUR DISGRACE?
WHATEVER DROVE YOU TO JUST
KILL EVERYTHING YOU HATE?

TELL ME NOW!

WHERE DID YOU LEARN TO KILL
WITHOUT EVEN THINKING TWICE?
WHERE ARE YOUR MINIONS OR ARE THEY
HIDING OUT THERE EATING MICE?
WHEN YOU WERE STILL A CHILD,
DID YOUR OLD MAN DO YOU IN THE ASS?
WAS IT YOUR MOTHER WHO FUCKED
THIRTY AFGHAN MEN AT ONCE?

HOW MUCH DID YOU PAY THE GUYS
WHO BLINDLY KILLED AND DIED FOR YOU?
OR DID YOU JUST CONVINCE THEM THAT
IT'S ALL IN THE PURSUIT OF TRUTH?
WHERE ARE YOU HIDING NOW LIKE A
BACK-STABBING COWARDLY FOOL?
OR DOES THE BLOODSHED OF YOUNG
CHILDREN MAKE YOU STOP AND DROOL?

BRIDGE:

HOW CAN YOU JUSTIFY THE DEATH OF THOSE
WHO DON'T REALLY CARE ABOUT YOU?
WHAT KIND OF FOOL REJOICES AT SUCH
NEEDLESS BLOODSHED?
DO YOU EVER SLEEP AT NIGHTS KNOWING
THAT SO MANY PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR YOU?
DIDN'T IT OCCUR TO YOU THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE
WANT YOU DEAD?

THEY WANT YOU DEAD, WE WANT YOU DEAD!

HEY BRO
(Al Dimalanta)

HEY BRO! I'VE ALWAYS WONDERED WHERE YOU'VE REALLY GONE
IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER CAUSE I KNOW YOU'RE DOING FINE
HEY BRO! I'VE ALWAYS WONDERED WHY YOU LEFT US BEHIND
IT PROVES TO ALL THAT ALL THINGS MUST PASS!

IT REALLY IS A WONDER WHY A COOL DUDE LIKE YOU
WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE THIS CRAZY WORLD IN A HURRY .
ALL I KNOW IS THAT YOU'RE IN A MUCH BETTER PLACE...
MUCH BETTER THAN THIS SHITHOLE CALLED SOCIETY!

HEY BRO! WHAT DO YOU THINK OF WHAT'S GOING ON AROUND HERE,
HOW WE TRY TO CONTINUE WHAT WE HAVE STARTED?
DON'T WORRY, BRO, BECAUSE I'LL CARRY ON THE FIGHT.
I'LL TRY MY BEST TO WAVE THE FLAG FOR YOU.

IT REALLY IS A PITY THAT EVERYTHING MUST PASS
AND EVERYTHING MUST DISAPPEAR FROM THIS EARTH
BUT I KNOW YOU'RE HAVING A GRAND TIME OUT THERE
PLAYING IN THAT GREAT GIG IN THE SKY
GOOD LUCK BRO!
