Gate Crasher There's a new message to give to the head of state There's a new message to give to the head of state Bet you won't be too smug when I crash the gate Bet you won't be too smug when I crash the gate It's too bad you got caught with your pants down It's too bad you got caught with your pants down Bet you won't be too smug when I crash the gate Bet you won't be too smug when I crash the gate I didn't mean to crash your private party I didn't mean to crash your private party Bet you don't look so smug now I've crashed the gate Bet you don't look so smug now I've crashed the gate Bet you don't look so smug now I've crashed the gate Bet you don't look so smug now I've crashed the gate

The Bounty Hunter Assassin Well, there was a man named Michael who rode a motorcycle Michael knew no fear for he was a cavalier And, along the dried up gulch the rattlesnakes they did the shakes But Mike just rode his bike and kept his cool, he's no fool I say Michael, you know he was a wanted man, but you know He'd done too much wheeling and dealing, and drinking and fighting, and cheating and stealing I say Michael, you know he was a wanted man, but you know He'd done too much wheeling and dealing, and drinking and fighting, and touching and feeling So, Michael was a wanted man who roamed alone in the wasteland A handsome price was on his head, paid to the one who shot him dead And, though used to bounty hunters, Isabelle was on his trail And, when it came to tracking down Isabelle had never failed I say Michael, you know he was a wanted man, but you know He'd done too much wheeling and dealing, and drinking and fighting, and cheating and stealing I say Michael, you know he was a wanted man, but you know He'd done too much wheeling and dealing, and drinking and fighting, and touching and feeling A showdown had begun, Isabelle was first to draw her gun But as she shot Mike down a snake had left marks of its own The closest help was too far off, and, as she drew her final breath Isabelle realized pursuing Mike brought only death I say Michael, you know he was a wanted man, but you know He'd done too much wheeling and dealing, and drinking and fighting, and cheating and stealing I say Michael, you know he was a wanted man, but you know He'd done too much wheeling and dealing, and drinking and fighting, and touching and feeling

Nobody Knows, Nobody Cares (Except Us) Nobody knows about what's going on, nobody knows what to do Nobody knows about what's going on, 'cause everyone's high on glue I suppose no one wants to be the one to miss out on all the fun I guess it must take a real tough guy to say "I'm not afraid to die, that's right." And, I don't give, I don't give, I don't give a damn if I die or live! Nobody cares about what's going on, nobody cares what they do They don't really care about me, And, they definitely don't give a shit about you. And they don't give, they don't give, they don't give a good fuck if we die or live!

Breaking Free Sometimes I want to run away, and, leave it all behind me To live free and take it day by day, and, let fate lead me blind I'm going crazy in this security, life is just too safe This day to day is killing me and I need a new change of pace But, when I think I can no longer stand, I see that glimmer in the sand With a sense of duty I push on, without the strength to cut my bonds And, I want to break free from responsibility I want to break free from security I want to break free from anxiety Oh yeah, I want to break free... Although my choices are my own, as is duty to decision I'll nail my self back to the stone, and, wish I had chosen free living I'm aware that life is what make it, and, it must come from within Sometimes it seems I only fake it, reality seems so thin But, when I think I can no longer stand, I see that glimmer in the sand With a sense of duty I push on, without the strength to cut my bonds And, I want to break free of responsibility I want to break free from security I want to break free from anxiety Oh yeah, I want to break free... But, one of these days I will break free, and, live my life the way I want it to be One of these days I will break free, and live my life the way I want it to be Sometimes I want to run away, and, leave it all behind me To live free and take it day by day, and, let fate lead me blind I'm going crazy in this security, life is just too safe This day to day is killing me and I need a new change of pace But, when I think I can no longer stand, I see that glimmer in the sand With a sense of duty I push on, without the strength to cut my bonds And, I want to break free from responsibility I want to break free from security I want to break free of anxiety Oh yeah, I want to break free...

Get a Grip 05:25
Get a Grip All my life, I've found it hard to deal with things beyond my grasp And, I think that it's time that I dealt the cards, and, stand and watch what's come to pass I just can't seem to get a grip on things, they somehow manage to slip away But no matter how far I try and run away, they somehow manage to catch up with me I just can't seem to get a grip on things, they somehow manage to slip away I just can't seem to get a grip on things, they somehow manage to slip away I just can't seem to get a grip on things, they somehow manage to slip away But no matter how close my dreams may seem They somehow manage to slip away from me When I can't escape my sleep, I find myself plunge deeper and deeper And, I'm more afraid to be awake, 'cause in the waking world there's more at stake It's hard to grasp onto reality, when you're not sure exactly what is real But rest assured the price you pay is big When you can't control the way you feel I just can't seem to get a grip on things, they somehow manage to slip away I just can't seem to get a grip on things, they somehow manage to slip away I just can't seem to get a grip on things, they somehow manage to slip away But no matter how close my dreams may seem They somehow manage to slip away from me All my life, I've found it hard to deal with things beyond my grasp And, I think that it's time that I dealt the cards, and, stop and look at what's come to pass I just can't seem to get a grip on things, they somehow manage to slip away But no matter how far I try and run away, they somehow manage to catch up with me I just can't seem to get a grip on things, they somehow manage to slip away I just can't seem to get a grip on things, they somehow manage to slip away I just can't seem to get a grip on things, they somehow manage to slip away But no matter how close my dreams may seem They somehow manage to slip away from me They somehow manage to slip away They somehow manage to slip away They somehow manage to slip away They somehow manage to slip away

Peeping Tom 06:35
Peeping Tom Well, you're fearing for your life 'cause you were caught peeping at somebody's wife It's not cool when you drool, everybody else knows you're a fool Now, you're on the run 'cause somebody dialed up 9 - 11 Don't you think that's a bit much 'cause you were just out there having fun Peeping Tom, I don't go to movies, I'm a Peeping Tom, instead of watching T.V. I'm a Peeping Tom, I call it window shopping, I'm a Peeping Tom, I guess there ain't no stopping me It's no fun when you get caught, I guess that puts you in a spot It's hard to face all the guys at work when they all think that you're a jerk Have no fear, your lawyer's here, and pretty soon your name is cleared And, you can go right on back to your favourite hobby Right on back, back to being a...

Somalia (Tarzan Must Die) Well, here they come, one by one, and, they won't be happy 'till the deed is done They won't be happy 'till Tarzan's dead, squished his brains Smashed his head The elephants march, one by one, Tell Tarzan his days are done The elephants scream, the elephants shout It's my jungle, and, I want him out The White man, or just the rich man has been raping Africa Enslaving people, poaching wildlife, appropriating resources chipping away with his imperialist chisel of cultural... inferiority His White man, Tarzan, king of the jungle Rain forest depletion, cattle farming Public apathy is most alarming Grain is used for livestock while people dying Crazy lifeboat theory used for justifying Thinning out the herd, all throughout the World Clinging to their vine as Tarzan swings on by Tarzan is the King of the beasts, but pretty soon he'll be a feast He swings around on the trees like an ape, but we all know he's just a fake Tarzan thinks that he's so great, uh - uh buddy, you're out of shape No need to worry, no need to cry, the time has come Tarzan must Die! Starvation, dehydration, scurvy, evaporation is History is evaporating Water isn't mixing with your oil tanker Rain is now forgotten, plant life extinction, wild life extinction Human being extinction... I'm afraid that I hate the Human Race, and, I hope one day that Armageddon comes, and, If I go too well I don't mind As long as I see those poachers DIE!!!

Bossy Cow 03:56
Bossy Cow Why must you be a bossy cow, you think that you're so smart I have to wonder how Why must you be a bossy cow, you think that you're so smart I have to wonder how Ever since we met, y'know, I could not believe my luck But you opened up your mouth, and, I felt like telling you shut - up! Now I sit at home, I unplug my telephone I hide up in my attic 'cause you won't leave me alone I know that both your parents tried to raise you right But you act obnoxious like it's some God given right I know that both your parents tried to raise you right But you act obnoxious like it's some God given right For Pete's sake, my phone rings day and night You're waking me out of bed, and, all you want to do is fight Isn't it enough that you's always in my face Every time I see you, all I hear is you complaining Eh! What are these guys doing? Eh! What is this crap!? You can't dance to this shit. You got the nerve to call that music!? Play something good man... I could get something better out of my beat box at home! Play something you can dance to... You expect me to pay five bucks to come hear this shit!? Why must you be a bossy cow, you think that you're so smart I have to wonder how Why must you be a bossy cow, you think that you're so smart I have to wonder how Ever since we met, y'know, I could not believe my luck But you opened up your mouth, and, I felt like telling you shut - up!

Call the cops (Toxic Dogs Dub Mix) As the wagon wheels of life go rolling by, I watch you defend your toxic hot dog stand. Neither rain, nor wind, nor sleet, nor snow, nor blood, nor piss, nor vomit can scare you away. So tell me, what treasure do you now buy with your newly earned coin; AND, what pleasures does Biff derive as his pointed toe boots smash in someone's face and groin, as he then takes his sister home, and spills himself into her loins. Ah, look. The rodents are approaching: the feeding frenzy is about to begin. Call the cops, the bar let out, the drunks are fighting in the parking lot. Watch them fight, hear them shout, watch them pound each other to a snot See them beat each other to a pulp, watch them knock each other's brains out Spend the night inside the tank, where you can throw up what you drank Spend the night inside the tank, where you can throw up what you drank First you drink, then you stink, that's what you get when you don't think... It's party time down at the OK Corall. People are smoking, drinking, eating dancing, cajoling, cavorting, belching and farting. That girl you've been watching, she's finally noticed you. Maybe you can buy her a drink, later she'll take you home, tie you to the bed, and, do nasty things to you. Is she impressed as you stumble over to her table, fumble over her friends, mumbling your introduction, breathing an intoxicating aroma of beer and vomit in her face while you whisper sweet nausea in her ear? But we don't get to see how things pan out: things are getting ugly; the patrons are getting rowdy; and, the Ol' Time Saloon erupts into a rabid orgy of violence. Men on top of men. Women on top of women. People are pushing, shoving, smashing, hitting, night sticks, pepper spray, barking dogs, and cops! Lots and lots of cops! "Okay everybody, up against the wall! Constable Crazy Finger here, full cavity search for everyone." "It's okay officer. I haven't been drinking." "You're still too drunk to drive." "Oh yeah, says who?" "Says me. I'm a cop." "Well fuck you. I'm a cop!" Finally, it's closing time. Only a few stragglers are left behind. The victor gloats truly proud, about to eat, he boasts out loud... The last one is mine. Call the cops, the bar let out, the drunks are fighting in the parking lot. Watch them fight, hear them shout, watch them pound each other to a snot See them beat each other to a pulp, watch them knock each other's brains out Call the cops, the bar let out, the drunks are fighting in the parking lot. Watch them fight, hear them shout, watch them pound each other to a snot See them beat each other to a pulp

Franks African Drum Frank went down to hang out at Wreck Beach The cops did a raid, and, took some folks away Well, I met this naked girl, oh man, she has a strange tattoo I'm not saying where, but I couldn't help but stare at you And, your talk was so eerie man, that even as we spoke I could somehow, somehow tell that your heartbeat was frozen Frank grabbed his drum to chase away the sun What else could he do, the cops stole everyone When the battle was won and the sun had gone down Frank jumped in his van, and, headed back to town And, your talk was so eerie man, that even as we spoke I could somehow, somehow tell that your heartbeat was frozen The ex-wife walks into my house like some invited guest She eats up all my Chinese food, then leaves me with the mess Maybe if I had the locks changed on my door If I tell her that I've moved away, nobody lives here anymore Frank went down to hang out at Wreck Beach The cops did a raid, and, took some folks away Well, I met this naked girl, oh man, she has a strange tattoo I'm not saying where, but I couldn't help but stare at you And, your talk was so eerie man, that even as we spoke I could somehow, somehow tell that your heartbeat was frozen

about

The theme of this album is about how Euro-Colonialism and Imperialism affected the World.

We didn't have a budget to go into a big recording studio when we did this. Sometimes, there's something to be said for a bunch of guys going into a basement room, throwing up some mics, and, just going for it.
