(Anthrax)

Yes, no, yes, no
Not, another word
You'll know what to do
Right!
In your face they see it
In their face you...
Take it...
Make up their minds
Aggression turns the screws
Fight!
Take your piece and hold it
Make your piece and...

Stand up, you know what it means
Wake up, time to live your dreams

Down by,
Law and they can't hold you
Dictate and control you
Hold onto your ideas
Down by, Law and no one owns you
And all the shit they've thrown you
Pay back is a real bitch

Nothin№s ever easy when you do it yourself
All you can do is try
Life's not unfair, life's just life
Death not suicide

Be all, and you'll be the end all
Life can be a real ball
State of mind
Euphoria

Think,
On your feet, and stay one step ahead
Break
Take your brain and use it
Take their mind and...
Change,
An attitude, like you'd change your shorts
Right!
In your face they see it
In their face you...
Stand up, you know what it means
Wake up, time to live your dreams

Down by,
Law and they can't hold you
Dictate and control you
Hold onto your ideas
Down by,
Law and no one owns you
And all the shit they've thrown you
Pay back is a real bitch

Nothing's ever easy when you do it yourself
All you can do is try
Life's not unfair, life's just life
Death not suicide

Be all, and you'll be the end all
Life can be a real ball
State of mind
Euphoria

Always taking, always faking
Ignorance is so frustrating
Always taking, always faking
Ignorance is,
No way, no way, no way, no way out!

Chorus


. . .



(Anthrax)

You've got nothing to say
We can't hear you anyway
Your unconscious, wake up
Smell the coffee, catch the next bus
You don't hear it, not there
Haven't seen it anywhere
Ignorance is bliss
Before you did we exist

Don't even think about anything
Don't even think about anything
Tell me something I don't know
How'd you get this job you own
I think that ...

All you need is a, all you need is a,
All you need is a, all you need is a face!

Out of sight, out of mind
It was yours but now it's mine
Take a riff, take a line
Out of sight, out of mind
Don't even think about anything
Out of sight, out of mind
You can't see but you're not blind

What's your purpose, in life
What the hell gives you the right to
Take what's been done, before
Change the name and make it yours, Oh
Yes you made your statement
Do you have to be so blatant
You're so conscious, image
With a gun you'd do no damage

Don't even think about anything
Don't even think about enything
Tell me something I don't know
How'd you get this job you own
I think that...

All you need is a, all you need is a,
All you need is a, all you need is a face!

Out of sight, out of mind
It was yours but now it's mine

Take a riff, take of line
Out of sight, out of mind
Don't even think about anything
Out of sight, out of mind
You can't see but you're not blind
Stupid, dumb, idiot, moron,
you really make me sick

Take your head out from up your ass
Right here, right now but it won't last
Now it won't

Out of sight, out of mind
It was yours but now it's mine
Take a riff, take a line
Out of sight, out of mind
Stupid, dumb, idiot, moron
Out of sight, out of mind
You can't see but you're not blind

Chorus

(Anthrax)

Spread the word
Through me God is heard
You're making me laugh
Tell me your killin' joke
Evangelist
You're making me laugh
Jesus saves
But only after I've been paid
You're making me laugh
Tell me your killin' joke
Evangelist
End your hoax

God say's have a T.V. show
God say's baby do some blow
God say's taxes are a sin
God say's pour the money in

Rape the poor, faith no more
Faith for cash, make me laugh
Faith no more, face the whore
Rape your past, make me laugh

Never, never, ever sin
Unless God say's to stick it in
You're making me laugh
Tell me your killin' joke
Evangelist
The truth can choke
Defrocked from your seat
Don't shit where you set
You're making me laugh
Tell me your killin' joke
That God talks to you
There's no hope

God say's have a T.V. show
God say's baby do some blow
God say's taxes are a sin
God say's pour the money in

Rape the floor, faith no more
Faith for cash, make me laugh
Faith no more, face the whore
Rape your past, make me laugh

God say's have a swimming pool
God say's keep the doghouse cool
God say's planes and boats and cars
God say's have an amusement park

God say's go and masturbate
God say's file taxes lets
God say's paint your face all sick
God say's be a real prick
God say's have a T.V. show
God say's baby do some blow
God say's taxes are a sin
God say's pour the money in

Chorus


. . .



You're a train ride to man importance
You're in love with hell existence
Money is all that you desire
Why don't you pack it in and retire
It's common sense you can't fool me
I'm just the money that you can't let free
Rainy day genius clouds your mind
don't you realize the blind lead the blind

You're anti, you're antisocial

Oh mister time will you ever unwind
Or just rebuild a new design
Your claim to fame is law and order
The rich get rich, the poor get poor
You put a price tag on what you see
This one's for you, that's for me
If that's winning I'd rather lose
Why don't you listen to my senseless views

You're anti, you're antisocial
How do you feel?

You're a train ride to no importance
You're in love with hell existence
Money is all that you desire
Why don't you pack it in and retire
It's common nature you can't fool me
I'm just the money that you can't let free
Rainy day genius clouds your mind
Don't you realize the blind lead the blind

You're anti, you're antisocial

ANTISOCIAL.....


. . .



(Anthrax)

Close your eyes to the horror
Close your eyes to the pain
When you live in a box
No one knows your name
Living in the street
Moms and kids with nothing to set
Welfare hotels
Who says there's no place called hell

I can't see you
I can't hear you
You don't see me
You couldn't be me
Who cares wins

There but for the grace of god
There but for the grace of god
Who cares, who cares, who cares, who cares
There but for the grace of god
There but for the grace of god...

Go you or I!
Open your eyes
You don't see me
You couldn't be me

Invisible could be my name
Your excuses are so lame
Real plees fall on deaf ears
Look away when I'm near
Freezing cold in winters heat
Burning up can be a treat
Blisters breaking on my feet
At least I get a subway seat

I can't see you
I can't hear you
You don't see me
You couldn't be me
Who cares wins

There but for the grace of god
There but for the grace of god
Who cares, who cares, who cares, who cares
There but for the grace of god
There but for the grace of god...

Go you or I!
Open your arms
You don't see me
You couldn't be me
Who cares wins

Self help and preservation
Not now I'm on vacation
Priority is you
And screw all those around you

Now's the time for you to share
Indifference you have to care
Deep inside you know it's true
How do I get through to you
Open your eyes to the horror

Open your eyes to the pain
When you live in a box
No one knows your name

Chorus


. . .



They're Gonna Put Me in Jail?
Man, I'm Already in Jail
Don't They Know That My Life
Is Just One Big Cell
I'll Bite the Hand That Feeds Me
And I Could Give a Damn If That Hand Needs Me
Why Can't You Live Me Alone?
A Lie May Fool Someone Else
But it Tells You the Truth
You're Weak, Just Another Clone
I Just Want My Life
To Do Whatever I like
Yeah, It's a Selfish Need
To Have No Responsibility
So I'll Say What I'm Gonna Say
'Cause I'm Going to Hell Anyway
I'd Rather Be Alone
In My World
I'm Not Afraid
I Am Not Afraid
Nothing Touches Me I'm a Walking Razor Blade
Face the Face of Fear
Face the Face of Death
Laugh When Others Tear
Hate When Others Laugh
In My World It's So Cold
My Defense Is like Stone
No One Gets Inside, 'Cause
In My World I'm Home
In My World I Loathe
And You'll Always Pay a Toll
No One Gets Inside, 'Cause
In My World I'm Home
An Adult at Thirteen
My Childhood Was a Dream
A Full Clout Nightmare, a Sight Unseen
My Greatest Fear as a Kid
One Which I Always Kept Hid
Was to Come Home from School
And Find My Mother Dead
I Just Want My Life
To Do Whatever I like
Yeah It's a Selfish Need
To Have No Responsibility
So I'll Say What I'm Gonna Say
'Cause I'm Going to Hell Anyway
I'd Rather Be Alone
In My World
I'm Not Afraid
I Am Not Afraid
Nothing Touches Me I'm a Walking Razor Blade
Face the Face of Fear
Face the Face of Death
Laugh When Others Tear
Hate When Others Laugh
In My World It's So Cold
My Defense Is like Stone
No One Gets Inside, 'Cause
In My World I'm Home
In My World I Loathe
And You'll Always Pay a Toll
No One Gets Inside, 'Cause
In My World I'm Home
Home!!!
I'm Not Afraid
I Am Not Afraid
Nothing Touches Me I'm a Walking Razor Blade
Face the Face of Fear
Face the Face of Death
Laugh When Others Tear
Hate When Others Laugh
I Am Not Afraid
I Am Not Afraid
I Am Not Afraid

(Anthrax with Turbin & Lilker)

Don't look at me as a white man
I'm just a man
Don't look at me as a black man
I'm just a man
It takes a man to deal with ignorance
Prove that you can
Like having to climb a barbwire fence

Can ya tell me how it feels to be hated?
Can ya tell me how it feels to be loved?
Can you show me what it means to be respected?
Or is the answer none of the above?

It's so easy to hate your brother
It should be hard
It's so easy to hate your friends
Why ain't it hard ?
Love and hate come in the dock together
Play your card
Love or hate can rule your life forever

Can ya tell me how it feels to be hated?
Can ya tell me how it feels to be loved?
Can you show me what it means to be respected?
Or is the answer none of the above?

Hating, fighting, lying, and I can't take...
Bitching, screwing, crying, and I just hate...
Taking, cheating, spying, and I can't take...
Hating, fighting, dissing, fighting, fighting
Fighting...
And I can't take no...
SCHISM!!

Schism, SK, SK, SK, SCHISM
A house divided can't stand

Prejudice is un-natural thought
When we were kids
It№s not inherited it's taught
When we were kids
If we were blind and had no choice
Difference hid
Would we hate each other by the tone of our voice?

Can ya tell me how it feels to be hated?
Can ya tell me how it feels to be loved?
Can you show me what it means to be respected?
Or is the answer none of the above?

Hating, fighting, lying, and I can't take...
Bitching, screwing, crying, and I just hate...
Taking, cheating, spying, and I can't take...
Hating, fighting, dissing, fighting, fighting
Fighting...
And I can't take no...
SCHISM!!

Chorus

(Anthrax & Jon Zazula)

I can hear you, I can hear you, lying
I can see you, I can see you, faking
I don't think you're, I don't think you're, working
I want you to
I want you to, I want you to...

Write for me, and only me
A really extra special story
Make it mine, every line
Don't make me sorry
It's what I want, it's what I want
And I'll tell you what
You know me, and I can be
A very, very vicious critic

Another fan's appreciation
A do-be, don't-be situation
Drag me down into your hatred

Misery loves company
I'm your number one fan
Misery loves company
Misery
Misery loves company
I'm your number one fan
Misery loves company
Die with me

I'll take good care, I'll take great care of you
Listen to me, listen to me you fool
Body and soul, body and soul, you're mind
I want you to,
I want you to, I want you to...

Write for me, and only me
A really extra special story
Make it mine, every line
Don't make me sorry
It's what I want, it's what I want
And I'll tell you what
You know me, and I'll show you
How to keep your filthy mouth shut

Another fan's appreciation
A do-be, don't-be situation
Drag me down into your hatred

Misery loves company
I'm your number one fan
Misery loves company Misery
Misery loves company
I'm your number one fan
Misery loves company
Die with me

Take, take, take, take, another pound of my flesh
I'm givin' blood
You, you, you, you, should only have the best
I'm givin' blood

What the hell is, what the hell is happening ?
I'm the one that made you into the king
Don't turn your back on, turn your back on, my help
I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I will
I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill...

Write for me, and only me
A really extra special story
Make it mine, every line
Don't make me sorry
It's what I want, it's what I want
And I'll tell you what
You know me, and I can be
A very, very vicious critic

Another fan's appreciation
A do-be, don't-be situation
Drag me down into your hatred

(Anthrax)

Life can be so wonderful
Real love this time you fool
And then you wake up
And you'd chew off your own arms
Or face the only graduate from
Satans school of charm!

I hear your mama callin' you
I hear your mama callin' you
You№d better stand and face the truth boy
I hear your mama callin' you

I drink three six packs, just so
I can look at your face
Finally!
You give respect, you get respect
And you just don't know your place
Finally!
You never learn, you always burn
Now I've got you off my case
Finally!
I drank three six packs, just so I could look at your face
Finally !
See ya !
Over, finished, gone, done, out!

She's not the one your married
Not the one who cared
Maybe it's her evil twin that's
got you by the shorthairs
Can you live without it?
Can you be a man?
Can you tell her take a walk and
stick it up her can!

I hear your mama callin' you
I hear your mama callin' you
You'd better stand and face the truth boy
I hear your mama callin' you I drink three six packs, just so I can look at your face
Finally!
You give respect, you get respect
And you just don№t know your place
Finally!
You never learn, you always burn
Now I've got you off of my case
Finally!
I drank three six packs, just so I could look at your face
Finally!
See ya!
Over, finished, gone, done, out!

I hear your mama callin' you
I hear your mama callin' you
Now go and pack your bags we're through
I hear your mama callin' you Rape my mind let down the wrong path
One to many rides and you crashed
Had the looks but had no class
Steal my life and taint my past
Sorry I don't mean to laugh (take it Sam)

How long have you been waiting to be set free ?
Don't you know it's easy as 1, 2, 3
Don't be a faggot now that's the key
Don't you know it's easy as 1, 2, 3

Now I'm free, now I'm free, me me me, finally!!!

Over finished, gone, done, out!!!!
