Rancid Album

And I know, I'm indestructible
And I know, I'm indestructible
Tonight!

Break down! Caught tell me its not true
It's a shakedown! Come on tell me who are you
It's so fake now, everything I see right through
I'm ashamed now, to say I ever know you

See the greater minions make a move on their feet
Kill them anywhere from here even from the head
Girls that seem so hot and I'm just sitting here laughing
I'm gonna keep going up, I can't get distracted

And I know, I'm indestructible
And I know, I'm indestructible
Tonight!

Lay back! Why cant you all come and save me
And you will never betray me
And I'll give back everything that you gave me
And I know that no one can never ever contain me

And I, walking I walk down to some American consumer, nah
And I'm dancing now to a whole different drummer
And I keep listening to the great Joe Strummer
cause good music, we can't live forever

And I know, I'm indestructible
And I know, I'm indestructible

Don't worry about me I'm gonna make it alright
Got my enemies cross haired and in my sight
I take a bad situation gonna make it right
In the shadows of darkness I stand in the light
Ya see it's my style and I'll keep true
I had a bad year but I got through
I've been knocked out, beat down, black and blue
She's not the one coming back for you
She's not the one coming back for you

If I fall back down
You're gonna help me back up again
If I fall back down
You're gonna be my friend

If I fall back down
You're gonna help me back up again
If I fall back down
You're gonna be my friend

It takes disaster to learn a lesson
We're gonna make it through the darkest nights
Some people pretend to make a reason
But that one make everything alright

Well the rest of times they don't face me
Even if I look and act pretty crazy
On my way down she betrayed me
Now my vision is no longer hazy
See I'm very lucky to have my crew
They stood by me when she's through
I've been knocked out, beat down, black and blue
She's not the one coming back for you
She's not the one coming back for you

If I fall back down
You're gonna help me back up again
If I fall back down
You're gonna be my friend

If I fall back down
You're gonna help me back up again
If I fall back down
You're gonna be my friend

If I fall back down
You're gonna help me back up again
If I fall back down
You're gonna be my friend

If I fall back down
You're gonna help me back up again
If I fall back down
You're gonna be my friend

If I fall back down
You're gonna help me back up again
If I fall back down
You're gonna be my friend

If I fall back down
You're gonna help me back up again
If I fall back down

Under a red hot moon, take a bus downtown to the Grave yard shift tonight
Under a red hot moon, take a bus downtown to the Grave yard shift tonight

Casey's from Cali, California.
She's got a reputation that she didn't ask for.
She's waiting for an escape now, escape is called the 164.
Now, Casey, she won't admit when she's wrong,
now Casey, she's always run, run, run.
She's a punk rocker, she don't trust no one
on a south end bus all alone.

Under a red hot moon, take a bus downtown to the Grave yard shift tonight
Under a red hot moon, take a bus downtown to the Grave yard shift tonight

Casey was never caught up, like the rest of the rats in a fucking maze
“Check me out” she said, “I'm in a concrete jungle,
I'm an individual and you're stuck in my waste”
Oh hell no, she knows what the truth is. Because she said so
She knows who her friends are so fuck you, don't get no closer,
it'll only make her run far away

Under a red hot moon, take a bus downtown to the Grave yard shift tonight
Under a red hot moon, take a bus downtown to the Grave yard shift tonight

I know Casey's brother pretty well, you see,
we spent a lot of time hanging out
I always thought for sure that she'd be the one to get out of here
and make a life fore herself
but when we found her in the little league park,
in the dugout it was cold in the dark.
No one knew why she wouldn't wake up,
I think she finally made it back home.

Under a red hot moon, take a bus downtown to the Grave yard shift tonight
Under a red hot moon, take a bus downtown to the Grave yard shift tonight

[Rap verse by Rob Aston]
One time for your mind, two times for your soul three for the graveyard and the
money I stole. Dimmed out in the city where the sun burns slow, no hope it's a
pity I can't say no. It's mot my time to go, it's not my time to die, the last
thing I wants for my mother to cry It was love at first light, since the very
first night, things have never been the same since I took my first flight. The
way I live my life, I love; I live lavish, lost me from the start. You lose,
you'll never have it! Untouched, unleashed, back up you don't want it. Take it
for the cash. It's back, now he's fronting. Take two pass, I'll take to blast.
Bust a mother fucker; I'm out on the flash. Pimped out, high as fuck. I'm out of
control. Heads bounce, rocks quake now I'm ready to roll.

Under the red hot moon.
Under the red hot moon.

Yeeeeeah, all you motherfuckers, criminals will be suckers,
If you don't step aside for David Courtney,
Well, all you motherfuckers, criminals will be suckers,
If you don't step aside for David Courtney!

If you're feelin' bold,
And you must be told,
You'll feel a whack up on your back,
And up the dust is made of gold,
If you do the job,
Loyal to the mob,
You'll be sorted and rewarded, south of France, in the sun
But if you pay your debt, you won't be dead,
Please take me up on my advice!
Cuz vengeance will be delivered door to door,
And right on time.....

Yeah, all you motherfuckers, criminals will be suckers,
If you don't step aside for David Courtney,
Well, all you motherfuckers, criminals will be suckers,
If you don't step aside for David Courtney!

Cuban cigars,
Silver Jaguars,
Brand-new suits are filled with loot, he's looking wicked and astute
Make no bones, he says,
Feelings then there is,
He's a legend in the underworld and an up to the poor,
Well, if you pay your debt, you won't be dead,
Please take me up on my advice!
Because vengeance will be delivered door to door,
And right on time....

Well, all you motherfuckers, criminals will be suckers,
If you don't step aside for David Courtney,
Well, all you motherfuckers, criminals will be suckers,
If you don't step aside for David Courtney!

Tim talking: Listen up all you skaghead, sewer rats, gangsters,
Villains and whores, the dark figures from the shadows,
Crept up from behind, where they brandished a gun,
Pointed directly at his face,
And they shuddered at the sight when the words were spoken,
"Go ahead, son, but you're making a big mistake,"
As the clueless of the night reflected off the cobblestone roads,
And silence took over, he said:
"Do you know who the fuck I am?"

Yeeeeeah, all you motherfuckers, criminals will be suckers,
If you don't step aside for David Courtney,
Well, all you motherfuckers, criminals will be suckers,

Another lesson has been learned,
In this days' modern times,
Strangers in the mist appear,
Now there's war, all the time,
Systematically go and destroy,
Commit another atrocity,
Aggressors are in their places,
Man-made catastrophe.

I'm not looking for a fight now,
And I don't care who's wrong or right now,
So release the dove into flight now,
So we can start right now,
We can start right now.

A small key's gonna open the door,
Across the border to a new land,
And in the new land a sand storm roars,
Under spell and the ghost of a man,
A pack of men, they're yours to stay,
Their prayers fall upon deaf ears,
Machiavelli owns a machine gun now,
And I see it in the mask and a puppeteer.

I'm not looking for a fight now,
And I don't care who's wrong or right now,
So release the dove into flight now,
So we can start right now,
We can start right now.

Humanity has no blame in this case, this big game of chess for us all,
Hostility explodes in the mess, now your arm got blood all over the world,
And clear day turns to dark, blindfolding prisoners of war,
And solidarity, on the razor's edge, boy, what? You're a big puncher now, right?
Yeah?.... Ha!.... Nah.... I don't fucking think so!
Ha ha ha!

I'm not looking for a fight now,
And I don't care who's wrong or right now,
So release the dove into flight now,
So we can start right now,

Let's Go!
The prophet speaks his language, reeks,
Survival dormant, schemes and sneaks,
His blood is weak, he's an oil sheik,
Information leak, operations wait.

There's no security in the battlefield,
No Armageddon strength, no human shields,
A brand-new country, they're gonna build,
One more riot this I will.

Stay out of control!
It's out of control!
Stay out of control!
We're outta control, we're outta control, we're outta control, we're outta
control!

Chopped-up waste in the ??
Pick up your shovel, do what you're told,
The (probe?) is on the ??
To the middle of nights, to the middle of homes.

Well, I'm done joking, are you a miss?
Deliberate line and recklessness,
Don't keep questioning the ims,
Resist, resist, resist, resist!

Stay out of control!
It's out of control!
Stay out of control!
We're outta control, we're outta control, we're outta control, we're outta
control!

Get one thing clear, first you live in fear, then you disappear, and that unity

Yeah?
They were sure I was guilty, but I committed no crime
They said: confessions bring lenience, so that put me on the line
So I, protest the massacres at the Talliman Square
My friends say yo, stay away man, you better not go fucking back there
Oh.
Watch this
One night I might write about my opinions about the state
And the freedom of expression they would never tolerate
And the, military secrets that I never did steal
I didn't start no violence, no, and there was nobody that I killed
No.
So I had a clear account of all abusers of power
And the memories of homeland all gone sour
And I only got one weapon, it's so plain for me to see
My only weapon I call, poetry

And I don't even know why
The truth seems like a lie
In my cell there is no sky
When I was arrested in Shanghai

Now, in a world of privilege I was not born
But, the devotion of freedom and liberty I was sworn
So, every emotion is studied, watched their control
Who gets paid, who gets disciplined, who gets born
So, transmitting beams my coordinates, anywhere on Earth
And, as radio waves, surveillance, satellite bursts
Open up your skull and let some knowledge come in
Ya, crack open the cranium and let awareness begin
Oh.

And I don't even know why
The truth seems like a lie
In my cell there is no sky
When I was arrested in Shanghai
When I was arrested in Shanghai
When I was arrested in Shanghai

All the junkies they know my name
And every city looks the fucking same
And the derilics who roam the streets are all the same
And the scum surfaces up and has no one to fucking blame

Game over its no fun
Got me on the run
I'm gonna go get my gun
Blam blam blam your done

Game over its no fun
Got me on the run
I'm gonna go get my gun
Blam blam blam your done

Why all the prostitution right about midnight
And the junkies hives are trying to get tight --à??
And I'm trying to find some ultra sound
But there's no fucking way to get out of this hell

Game over its no fun
Got me on the run
I'm gonna go get my gun
Blam blam blam your done

Game over its no fun
Got me on the run
I'm gonna go get my gun
Blam blam blam your done

Game over its no fun
Got me on the run
I'm gonna go get my gun
Blam blam blam your done

Game over its no fun
Got me on the run
I'm gonna go get my gun
Blam blam blam your done

I've lived my whole life, made mistakes,
From the get-go,
Street kid from the start, right, no regrets though,
I do what I want, yeah, cuz I said so,
No sleep for the weak, right? No, bet no.
Rollin' with the punk rockers,
I ain't lying,
Fake guns, fake bands,
Fake punk, I ain't buying,
Hit the road,
All I know,
Rock and roll ain't dying, about fifteen deep,
We hit the streets low ridin.

By the time we made it to New Orleans,
It must have been half past three.
By the time we made it to Memphis,
We were crazy.
Tonight, draw a blanket,
And a pillow to keep us warm,
Tonight, protect us from the storm.

He was back, causing trouble,
Time's they're a comin' round,
Oh no, let me go to another round,
Tuesday night is when the storm's gonna settle down,
Had a glance, circumstance,
Don't cause, trouble bound,
She's the one, all alone, I come lookin',
Smoke and mirrors as I watch,
Aw, that girl was trippin',
It's no fun, lost again,
To have your heart broken,
Greed is from a world that is built on hustling.

By the time we made it to New Orleans,
It must have been half past three.
By the time we made it to Memphis,
We were crazy.
Tonight, draw a blanket,
and a pillow to keep us warm,
Tonight, protect us from the storm.

The breaks were falling when they had failed,
Every road can lead ya straight down to fucking hell,
Rain stopped falling when they had failed,
Every road can take ya straight down to hell.

Doing nothing here, everyone straight trippin,
Happy at times, are gone, past starts slippin,
This will be enough to keep me on the road livin,
Good every night, in a different city I'll be sleepin,
Let me know, here we go, met a girl named Lola,
Is she here? Is she there? Drinking Jack and cola,
She says, "Tim, where ya been? I got somethin' to show ya,
Lola fired off her clothes and started rock and rollin!

By the time we made it to New Orleans,
It must have been half past three.
By the time we made it to Memphis,
We were crazy.
Tonight, draw a blanket,
and a pillow keep us warm,

She said I'ma fuck 'em up, that's the satisfaction,
Matt: Bottle of red, straight ahead, detox transaction,
[Lars:] Hey! I'm sneaking outside in my neighborhood,
It was always understood,
I was running out from the Angels,

Punk rock was my way out, it was always in my blood,
And didn't give a fuck if I was locked up, should be dead or in jail!

Woooooooooh
Ghost band, ghost band,
There's a ghost band, girl, playing our songs now,
Ghost band, ghost band,
There's a ghost band, girl, playing our song

And they knew all the lyrics by heart, now,
And they play in the perfect key,
And their tombstones are silhouetted,
And the band I can barely see,
Well our spirit fades, hard and cheated,
When the funeral's over, I can't leave it,
Everyone's going home, I'm defeated.

Woooooooooh
Ghost band, ghost band,
There's a ghost band, girl, playing our songs now,
Ghost band, ghost band,
There's a ghost band, girl, playing our song

And the energy's so overwhelming,
And the echo from the crowd is deafening,
And the music conveyed is convincing,
And the world doesn't seem so daunting,
And the shimmer of light tells you secrets,
In the moon, the silhouettes in an instance,
And we are seen in perfect cadence.

Woooooooooh
Ghost band, ghost band,
There's a ghost band, girl, playing our songs now,
Ghost band, ghost band,

If you lose me, you lose a good thing, that's one thing I know for sure.
If you lose me, girl, you lose a good thing, that's one thing I know for sure.

When you were sick, girl, I held your hand,
When you were troubled I tried to understand,
Staying with you I did anything I can,
Cuz losing you was not part of the plan.

Melbourne is a tropical London,
I met a girl in a tropical London,
Abandoned in a tropical London, Oh no, oh no,

If you lose me, you lose a good thing, that's one thing I know for sure.
If you lose me, girl, you lose a good thing, that's one thing I know for sure.

A souvenir reminds me of you,
Every day I catch a glimpse of us too,
I'm the one going through the rescue,
That's why I'm confused you withdrew.

Melbourne is a tropical London
I met a girl in a tropical London
Abandoned in a tropical London
Oh no, oh no,
If you lose me, you lose a good thing, that's one thing I know for sure.
If you lose me, girl, you lose a good thing, that's one thing I know for sure.

Medication, met you in
Authication, it's a
Hazardness, valley of deception,
Walk alone,
But it was not my intention,
Not my invention,
And now my heart's been ripped wide open!

Melbourne is a tropical London
I met a girl in a tropical London
Abandoned in a tropical London
Oh no, oh no,
If you lose me, you lose a good thing, that's one thing I know for sure.
If you lose me, girl, you lose a good thing, that's one thing I know for sure.

Go!
Go!
Go!

Walk into the party, didn't know who you are,
Said quick quick on the living room floor,
All I know is about three fucking chords,
Drumkit, bass, and electric guitar.

We're headed out to another show,
Don't know which way it's gonna go,
Don't even think about it,
Don't even care,
When the roadblock's in the way, we're gonna run around it,
When the stop sign's in the way, we're gonna run through it all right,
All right,
When all the punks come out tonight!

Go to work, go to school, get a fucking job,
Sit at home like a fucking slob,
I prowl the street like I'm the fucking law,
All too crazy, tripped and crawl,
Depression can't cut me out of the music,
So I choose it,
I use it,
I won't fucking lose it!

We're headed out to another show,
Don't know which way it's gonna go,
Don't even think about it,
Don't even care,
When the roadblock's in the way, we're gonna run around it,
When the stop sign's in the way, we're gonna run through it all right,
All right,
When all the punks come out tonight!

We're not fucking around,
We're not fucking around,
We're not fucking around,
We're not fucking around!

We're headed out to another show,
Don't know which way it's gonna go,

Is it you?
Is it you who's been orchestrated?
Is it you?
Is it you who's born frustrated?

Hey! Hey! Hey!
Is it you?
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Is it you?
Is it you who's born frustrated?

American shopping malls,
Where a product is sold and bought here,
Euthanizing the public,
While the dead walk the escalators,
They come from the loudspeakers,
They hear a subliminal message,
An ad entices you, the consumer,
And there's no way to find it.

Is it you?
Is it you who's been orchestrated?
Is it you?
Is it you who's born frustrated?

Hey! Hey! Hey!
Is it you?
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Is it you?
Is it you who's born frustrated?

Is this human freedom,
Hedonistic excess?
Junky consumerism,
Mass-production, toxic sickness,
Everyone is wearing now,
Plastic masks that they hide behind,
Marketing massive sales of nothing,
Everything is selling.

Is it you?
Is it you who's been orchestrated?
Is it you?
Is it you who's born frustrated?

Hey! Hey! Hey!
Is it you?
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Is it you?
Is it you who's born frustrated?

The arrogance,
Lost me with nonsense,
Well, it's so aggressive,
Yet so repulsive,
Well, it's a noxious culture,
Of the swarming vultures!
And I an imposter,
And he's coming to get you!

Is it you?
Is it you who's been orchestrated?
Is it you?
Is it you who's born frustrated?

Hey! Hey! Hey!
Is it you?
Hey! Hey! Hey!

Rock gets hot, now she can't stop
She's a lot, a lot like a robot
And she can't be bought, and her nerves are shot
And she starts to rot, from the inside out
She said I don't need you to save me, but there's people here trying to blame me
And there's no jobs that will pay me, enough to feed my family

And I got my back up against the wall
And I got my back up against the wall
And no one hears her call
Cause there's no one there at all
And I got my back up against the wall

Law crack re-run, fools are chippin
Promises are broken, yeh, jobs are leavin
And the sky is darkening in the land of stepping
But the bus is staying and I won't be regretting
And there's no more jobs here, no more love here
No more room here for me, and there's no more jobs here
Only misery here, for me and my family

And I got my back up against the wall
And I got my back up against the wall
And no one hears her call
Cause there's no one there at all
And I got my back up against the wall

Now where have all the good times gone
(ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT!)
But something here is going wrong
(ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT)

Why even bother, when you getting clobbered
Nowhere is safe and sound, off the sweat they will profit
Your getting robbed and their gunning you down to the ground
Oh we all got big dreams now, the new factory just shut down
And there's not enough to go around, cause their gunning you down to the ground

And I got my back up against the wall
And I got my back up against the wall
And no one hears her call
Cause there's no one there at all

For 24 hours on the Ivory Coast,
They release soldiers from their post,
They dedicate champagne, for a toast,
They pay dividends to the country's host.

They said, "Tonight, you can leave your home,
But tomorrow, but tomorrow, it's gonna be the way of the gun",
And the curfew, won't allw you to roam, roam, roam,
And the bullets will let you know, when the big dog comes 'round your door....

Who is the killer?
(Wooooh ohhh oh!)
Who is the killer?
(Wooooh ohhh oh!)
Stone-cold killer,
(Woooooh ohhh oh!)
Food for the trigger,
(Wohhhh ohh ohh!)

I'll shoot ya down, right on sight,
If you're out at the wrong time of night,
And in a civil war, there's no civil rights,
In the dead of day, run for your life.

They said, "Tonight, you can leave your home,
And tomorrow, it's gonna be the way of the gun",
And the curfew, won't let you roam, roam, roam,
And the bullets will let you know, when the big dog comes 'round your door....

Who is the killer?
(Wooooh ohhh oh!)
Who is the killer?
(Wooooh ohhh oh!)
Stone-cold killer,
(Woooooh ohhh oh!)
Food for the trigger,
(Wohhhh ohh ohh!)

And the trenches are dug,
And the bones ain't too shiver,
The tastes of war, so cold and bitter,
And the human race is the face of the killer,
And the cost of life is rarely considered.

They said, "Tonight, you can leave your home,
But tomorrow, but tomorrow, it's gonna be the way of the gun",
And the curfew, won't let you roam, roam, roam,
And the bullets will let you know, when the big dog comes 'round your door....

Who is the killer?
(Wooooh ohhh oh!)
Who is the killer?
(Wooooh ohhh oh!)
Stone-cold killer,
(Woooooh ohhh oh!)
Food for the trigger,

Hold your head up high,
Cuz tomorrow you may die,
Cuz no one's safe around here,
No one's safe around here.
Stand your ground,
Til you're the last one in town.

Someone that you trust turned out to be a tricker,
Smoking cigarettes, getting stoned on liquor,
Getting really dizzy, only getting sicker,
Small problems now only seem bigger.
America's a safe place,
If you're gonna leave it,
And the rhetoric is there,
If you're gonna read it,
And the hollow masses,
The machines defeated,
And the rich look down to arrive on the bleeding.

Hold your head up high,
Cuz tomorrow you may die,
Cuz no one's safe around here,
No one's safe around here.
Stand your ground,
Til you're the last one in town.

Hardly enough,
It gets tough when you're running,
So you bust out the homeless,
When they start coming,
In LA, Broadway, it's wicked when they're watching,
And your backup and your backup and your backup ain't working.
There's no food, so you're spurred into action,
Set up and go to no satisfaction,
Ice and snow is the city passion,
When you walk in the shadows, girl, there's no protection.

Hold your head up high,
Cuz tomorrow you may die,
Cuz there's no one safe around here,
No one's safe around here.
Stand your ground,
Til you're the last one in town.

[SR talking:]
OK, well,
This is the city of Los Angeles,
And it never sleeps,
It may look like it,
But it doesn't.
It lives and breathes nocturnally,
So when you've got no place to sleep at night,
And you're all huddled up,
And you're cold,
Well, this song goes out to the city's forgotten.
Hey, Tim, take us on home....

Underlying reason, well she can't keep it going,
In the middle of the night,
they found her frozen,
And the Wal-Mart sign,
Keeps on glowing,
And the winds of change keep on blowing.

Hold your head up high,
Cuz tomorrow you may die,
Cuz no one's safe around here,
No one's safe around here.
Stand your ground,

[Lars:] I was an atheist,
You wore the crucifix,
We put our differences to the side,
This time a lesson learned,
You told me not to mourn,
Your heart is bigger every night I'm alive.

[Tim:] Campbell, California,
Aw, please don't let me down,
Robert, I remember when you used to run the town,
I'll never forget, and I'll always be your friend,
I'll be seeing you on the other side.
[Both:] Robert, I'll see you on the other side.

[Lars:] I'm waking up to this,
The pain that you are free,
I miss the days that you walked with me,
You're a brother, a loyal friend,
Showed me how to be a man,
I love you, Robert, and I always will.

[Tim:] Campbell, California,
Aw, please don't let me down,
Robert I remember when you used to run the town,
I'll never forget, and I'll always be your friend,
I'll be seeing you on the other side.
[Both:] Robert, I'll see you on the other side.
