HOLOCAUST

what will 2000 bring?
the war of a billion things
when darkness seizes the lords
and darkness sends his judgement sword
they march through the battle fields
start the destruction wheels
a scream of terror through the night
the armies do their final fight
holocaust
final loss
holocaust
what will the end bring
to my life?
are you poisoned by?
are you for the night?
are you by the night?
holocaust
final loss
holocaust
listen to what i say
we are coming upon the day
when toxic gas fills the air
and life on earth can't
be found anywhere
you run, but where can you hide?
from the shelters i hear you cry
the bombs bursting in air
God help me i'm so scared!
holocaust
final loss
holocaust
what will the end bring
to my life?
are you poisoned by?
are you for the night?
are you by the night?
holocaust
final loss

T.N.T.

Oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi
See me ride out of the sunset
On your colour TV screen
Out for all that I can get
If you know what I mean
Women to the left of me
And women to the right
Ain't got no gun
Ain't got no knife
But don't you start no fight

'Cause I'm T.N.T.
I'm dynamite
T.N.T.
and I'll win the fight
T.N.T.
I'm a power load
T.N.T.
watch me explode

I'm dirty, mean and mighty unclean
I'm a wanted man Public enemy number one
Understand
So lock up your daughter
Lock up your wife
Lock up your back door
And run for your life
The man is back in town
Don't you mess me 'round

T.N.T. Oi, oi, oi
T.N.T. Oi, oi, oi
T.N.T. Oi, oi, oi
T.N.T. Oi, oi, oi
T.N.T. Oi I'm dynamite (oi, oi)
T.N.T. Oi, And I'll win the fight,
T.N.T. I'm a power load
T.N.T. Watch me explode!

SWEET LEAF

Alright Now!
Won't you listen?
When I first met you, didn't realize,
I can't forget you or your surprise
You introduced me to my mind
And left me (watching/wanting) you and your kind. Oh yeah
I love you. Oh, you know it.
My life was empty, forever on a down,
Until you took me, showed me around
My life is free now, my life is (clear / hemp)
I love you sweet leaf though you can't hear
Oh yeah
Come on now - try it out!
Straight people don't know what you're about,
They put you down and shut you out
You gave to me a new belief,
And soon the world will love you, sweet leaf
Oh yeah baby
Come on now! Oh yeah!
Try me out baby!
Alright! Oh yeah-ah!
I want you part of this sweet leaf!
Oh yeah!
Alright, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh try me out
I love ya sweet leaf, oh

PIRANHA

Slicing jaws a way of life
Brought up to waste mankind
Loki's pets his little children
Deadly eyery time

Trapped in swamps by gates of hell

Don't ever: let them out
For if you do and they escape
You'll fight a bloody bout

Piranha kill in a pack - you'll run
Piranha start to attack - you'll done
If you think you can beat - deadly school
If you think you can live - vou're a fool

Gates of hell are old and cracked
They tumble and they fall
Out rush a bloody wall of death
To kill anything at all
Their sole mission is t0 kill
Strip your bones and flesh
Rip out your eyes tear off your face
An agonizing death

Piranha kill in a pack - you'll run
Piranha start to attack - you're done
If you think you can beat - deadly school
If you think you can live - you're a fool

SON OF A BITCH

You make the stars
Illusions and dreams
You're what you are
D'you know what I mean
I hear you clear
See in your eyes
Lying to please
It pleases to lie
You say it's your way
You say we'll make it
Right to the top
Your bullshit gets me
What have you got
I don't believe
A word you say
You make me laugh
Get outta my way
You say it's your way
Now listen to what I think of you:
Son of a bitch
Kiss my ass
Son of a bitch
Son of a bitch
You asshole
Son of a bitch
Cock suckin' motherfucker
I was right - take this: uuaah
Son of a bitch, ...
Cut you three times below the ass to short to shit
Two timing son of a dog

(I'm Not Your) Stepping Stone
I I I I I'm not your stepping stone
I I I I I'm not your stepping stone
You're trying to make your mark in society
Using all the tricks that you used on me
You're reading all those high fashion magazines
The clothes you're wearin' girl are causing public scenes

I said I I I I I'm not your stepping stone
I I I I I'm not your stepping stone
Not your stepping stone
Not your stepping stone
When I first met you girl you didn't have no shoes
Now you're walking 'round like you're front page news
You've been awful careful 'bout the friends you choose
But you won't find my name in your book of Who's Who

I said I I I I I'm not your stepping stone
I I I I I'm not your stepping stone
Not your stepping stone
Not your stepping stone

CALIFORNIA UBER ALLES

I am Governor Jerry Brown
My aura smiles
And never frowns
Soon I will be president...

Carter power will soon go away
I will be Führer one day
I will command all of you
Your kids will meditate in school

California Über Alles
Über Alles California

Zen fascists will control you
100% natural
You will jog for the master race
And always wear the happy face

Close your eyes, can't happen here
Big Bro' on white horse is near
The hippies won't come back you say
Mellow out or you will pay

California Über Alles
Über Alles California

Now it is 1984
Knock knock at your front door
It's the suede/denim secret police
They have come for your uncool niece

Come quietly to the camp
You'd look nice as a drawstring lamp
Don't you worry, it's only a shower
For your clothes here's a pretty flower...

DIE on organic poison gas
Serpent's egg's already hatched
You will croak, you little clown
When you mess with President Brown

California Über Alles
Über Alles California

SMOKE ON THE WATER

We all came out to Montreux
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile
We didn't have much time
Frank Zappa and the Mothers
Were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
They burned down the gambling house
It died with an awful sound
Funky & Claude was running in and out
Pulling kids out the ground
When it all was over
We had to find another place
But Swiss time was running out
It seemed that we would lose the race
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
We ended up at the Grand Hotel
It was empty cold and bare
But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside
Making our music there
With a few red lights and a few old beds
We make a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this
I know we'll never forget
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky

BLACKOUT (Features guest vocal by John Bush)

I realize I missed a day
But I'm too wrecked to care anyway
I look around and see this face
What the hell have I lost my taste
Don't want to find out
Just want to cut out

My head explodes, my ears ring
I can't remember just where I've been
The last thing that I recall
I got lost in a deep black hole
Don't want to find out
Just want to cut out

Blackout
I really had a blackout

Blackout
I really had a blackout

Blackout
I really had a blackout

Blackout
I really had a blackout

I grab my things and make my run
On the way out, another one
Would like to know before I stop
Did I make it or did I flop
Don't want to find out
Just want to get out

Blackout
I really had a blackout

Blackout
I really had a blackout

Blackout
I really had a blackout

Blackout
I really had a blackout

Don't want to find out
Just want to get out

Blackout
I really had a blackout!

PURPLE HAZE

Purple haze all in my brain
Lately things just don't seem the same
Actin' funny, but I don't know why
'Scuse me while I kiss the sky

Purple haze all around
Don't know if I'm comin' up or down
Am I happy or in misery?
Whatever it is that girl put a spell on me

Purple haze all in my eyes
Don't know if it's day or night
You got me blowin', blowin' my mind
Is it tomorrow, or just the end of time?

IN LEAGUE WITH SATAN

I'm in league with satan I was raised in hell
I walk the streets of Salem
Amongst the living dead
I need no one to tell me
What's wrong or right
I drink the blood of children
Stalk my prey at night
Look out beware
When the full moon's high n'bright
In every way I'm there
In every shadow in the night
Cause I'm evil in league with satan
Evil in league with satan
I'm in league with satan
Obey his commands
With the goat of Mendes
Sitting at his left hand
I'm in league with satan
I love the dead
No one prayed for Sodom
As the people fled
I'm in league with satan
I am the masters own
I drink the juice of women
As they lie alone
I'm in league with satan
I bear the devils mark
I kill the new born baby
Tear the infants flesh
