long drop
----------
cigarettes are burning
only minutes to go
clock's on the move
gotta record to blow
smoke's in the room
can you feel the heat?
look at the time
gotta old score to beat
a friend this time
nerves on the fray
just seconds now
got to get on my way
i'll do the job
don't take a side
at 10 quid a head
there's no shame to hide
last nicotine fix
long drop to greet
OK old boy
get on your feet
CHORUS
turn around mate
it's time to go
follow me now
please don't be slow
i'll make it fast
i'll make it clean
always between 2 and 3
friday in december
13 to watch
got through with 12
the last had no box
my work is done
it's cut from my mind
i looked in just once
i'll try to be kind
i can forget now
i did my best
i was your friend
didn't go on no quest
never was just cash
only work to be done
the quickest and the cleanest
i was number one
your punishment is over
to the highest degree
and if you're in the Struggler
have a drink on me

you're wrong to think
they're burning churches in Riad
we're not all the same
blowing up mosques in Sadr City
you're wrong to think it
minerat verbot f¸r der Schweiz
and your God's to blame
cultural justification
you're wrong to think
james don't like the Unionists
you can't learn to hate
in his belfast neighbourhood
it's the true religion
sanjay won't get in to a taxi
the flavour of the day
driven by a sikh
in america
go fight your fear
filled with hate
with violence
the crusades, the holocaust, jihad
cold & slick
ethnic cleansing
it burns you up
burning witches, stoning virgins
feel it erupt
killing abortionists
it's dripping down between the eaves
it's always your view
it's lurking close
that's right
you break
there's always a place
marriage is for adam and eve
for you to pray
not adam and steve
with glowing spotlights
hate crime on the rise
or neon green
against anyone different
you're welcome in
our government must reflect
to see the show
the religion of our chosen people
face altars, the wall, mecca
change, leave, or die
and learn to burn
johnny reb
still hates the niggers
who went to college
did better than him
sharia will stone you
you're not a man
for getting in the way
of your rapist girl
don't fuck with us
we always meet we always say
if the god they believe in's around
they'll burn, oh they'll burn one day
religion and death
you can learn to hate them every one
suicide bombers will kill
nazi movements recruiting
any religion in the way
jews are running the law
sally won't climb in
the anti-defamation league
a limo with a paki
will brand you
siegfried blames the crime
if you're not one of us
on anything foreign
you're against us
the religion of hate
adolf read the bible
it binds us all
you're wrong to think
the desert dogmas were written
we're not all the same
by men who believed the world was flat
you're wrong to think it
and your God's to blame
mama instills it
papa will guide you
you will learn to hate
may your god go with you

suicide of town
-----------------
mama she's drinking
and daddy's in jail
i gotta a little crystal
gonna do me a rail
darlene's comin over
then we're gonna get high
goin down to juanita's
where the girls ain't too shy
i'm packin a little heat
never know who'll come around
it's a typical night
on the suicide of town
nice and cold here inside
Jen's got poppers at the bar
try holdin out on her
and you won't get too far
dawn and jodie are fightin
out back it's gettin hot
dawn took jodie's meth
done shot up the whole lot
Tina is slouched over
another night going down
been living too long
on the suicide of town
lost my job late last year
but i really don't care
i'm walking over the devil's bridge
to the suicide of town
a symphony of sirens
tire squeals and car alarms
dogs barking, people yelling
and small firearms
lock the doors cos i think
there's some shit going down
it's a saturday night
on the suicide of town
got too proud cos i bought me
a new double-wide
it's a typical life
on the suicide of town
i'm numb from the cocktails
the Rush and the rails
it's a typical night
on the suicide of town
a typical life
on the suicide of town

roses
-----------------
the lesson from the old black man
is that they'll kill
if they have the nerve to steal
they've got the nerve to kill
the streets out there are dangerous
you could not know
the meaning there, i saw it clear
"i don't live in roses"
the old man said i been around
whiskey nearly did me in
i used to smoke a lot of pot
'fore it came a national problem
me and the boys would catch a bus
got a trunk for 15 bucks
then the rich white kids got involved and
everything went bust
when it was just poor and black,
nobody cared
hippie says i live on the streets
a warning to you all
don't you try to live out here
unless you're very strong
if you feel yourself too weak
you'll never survive
if you have to think on it
don't you ever mess up
old man crosses the parking lot
lost in his dreams
up comes a young street stud and says
give me money
the old man looks at him
he nearly screams
i live in this city too
what do you mean
don't you come on up to me
and ask me for those things
you take from me, you take from me
you try to change me too
you booked me on your freedom
the dollar green and true
a native in my own lush lands
a stranger on your streets
you put me in this concrete jail
left sight unseen
shades of black
shades of brown
colours in between
the plight of your America
is on the streets
you've taken all the best from us
exalted all the worst
the revolution's overdue
better hold on to your purse

Mama Don't Creep

mama don't creep
------------------------
i saw baby steal your lighter mama
baby dropped that in the pool
when that lighter didn't work no more
baby said i'll get another one for you
there's only tendin the home fire
waiting to go back on the road
used to be ways to just get high
used to be a reason to slip by
whispers from the balcony
whiskey brought you to your knees
baby's passed out on the bed again
but mama don't creep no more
mama's got a black eye today
but that was just another door
baby says don't push me mama
'cos i am on the edge
mama's got her control today
baby's words got nothing to say
don't compete with lipstick and blood
and who will own the night
a slap, a cut, i'll buy a gun
who you kiddin, you owe me one
who will love you when i am gone
don't interrupt me again
i'll show you, cut me off that way
baby will have her say one day
mama can't live like that no more
slam the door and just go
stormy days, getting dry, gotta get out
