Here come the riot cops Faceless clones in black Tasers, clubs, and pepper spray And rifles on their backs Mindless fucking footsoldiers Following commands Foaming at the mouth To get some blood upon their hands Madness on the streets Madness on the streets Madness on the streets Madness on the streets The angry mob is on the march Ready to attack Taken your shit long enough They're here to give it back Molotovs, burning cars Stones and shattered glass Madness on the streets tonight You better watch your back Madness on the streets Madness on the streets Madness on the streets Madness on the streets Madness on the streets Madness on the streets Madness on the streets It’s fucking madness on the streets

When I look back on all the nights Drinking at the bar 'til they turn on the lights My vision blurred from finished pints Looking for some last call comfort to get me through the night And it's wake up, go to work, drink, repeat Every day, every week Feeling like there's nothing more to me Same old faces Same old songs Same old story on and on Time ticks away 'Til I've lost count of the days But my memories never fade So many friends have come and gone I've lost track of the ones who said so long Years pass by and nothing new to show This is my way of life This is all I know And it's wake up, go to work, drink, repeat Every day, every week Dreaming of the way it used to be "Cause I miss those Same old faces Same old songs Same old story on and on Time ticks away 'Til I've lost count of the days But my memories never fade

Got Me Wrong 02:45
You talk so tough But don't wanna back it up Who the fuck are you anyway? No one seems to know I asked around when you said you're from my town But no one even knows your name So I'll explain this to you once You've got me wrong so listen up You think you're one of us? You'll never earn our trust Consider yourself warned When I see you on the street You'll be picking up your teeth I don't know who the fuck you think you are Duck next time you see me You better watch your back You asked for this, my fuse is lit You struck the fucking match We don't have to like each other You should have shown respect So now I've gotta pull your card When I see you on the street You'll be picking up your teeth I don't know who the fuck you think you are

Stand Up 03:45
You knew that they were lying When they said that you could be anything You weren't fooled Everybody's got their place At the top there's only so much room But not for you They told you "Son, just keep your head down Do what they tell you to Somebody's gotta take their shit It might as well be you" Stand up And be counted among the strong Remember You don't have to bow to anyone "Cause when you do You'll stay where they say you belong Don't forget You don't have to bow to anyone And if they can, they'll take all your time As if your life is something that you owe Something they own Your dignity's been purchased As a means for them to buy another home Living a life you'll never know You're just trying to keep the lights on They're drowning in cash So take that dirty uniform And shove it up their ass Stand up And be counted among the strong Remember You don't have to bow to anyone "Cause when you do You'll stay where they say you belong Don't forget You don't have to bow to anyone I will not bend, I will not break I won't give in No not to you I will not bend, I will not break I won't give in No not to you Stand up And be counted among the strong Remember You don't have to bow to anyone "Cause when you do You'll stay where they say you belong Don't forget You don't have to bow to anyone

Living Wage 03:10
Grandpa was a laborer Working with his hands Supporting his wife and family An honest working man He rose before the sun And he came home late at night He worked until the day That the whiskey took his life 25 years later I'm working just like him Except that I need two jobs now Just to pay the rent No wife, no kid, no student loan Just everyday expense When I get my hard-earned pay It's already spent I want my living wage I want my living wage I want my living wage A hard days work for a hard days pay I want my living wage I went to the union hall To get up on the list They said we ain't got no work this week And i'm starting to get pissed I ain't been paid in three weeks I can't buy no cigarettes And I can't even drive to work Because the car's been repossessed I want my living wage I want my living wage A hard days work for a hard days pay I want my living wage I want my living wage I want my living wage A hard days work for a hard days pay I want my living wage I want my living wage (That I’m Owed) I want my living wage (That You Stole) A hard days work for a hard days pay I want my living wage I want my living wage (I’m sick of being broke) I want my living wage (This jobs a fuckin joke) A hard days work for a hard days pay I want my living wage
