RISE AGAINST LYRICS - Like The Angel

RISE AGAINST LYRICS

"Like The Angel"

They turn the lights down low,

In shadows hiding from the world,

Only coming out when it gets cold



The seas part when they hit the floor,

The voices carry on and out the door

And everything you touch turns into gold



Like the angel you are you laugh creating

A lightness in my chest,

Your eyes they penetrate me,

(your answer's always 'maybe')

That's when I got up and left



A beating heart and a microphone,

A ticking clock in an empty home

Still tells of these times so long ago,



Even though I've come so far,

I know I've got so far to go

And any day now I'll explode



Like the angel you are you laugh creating

A lightness in my chest,

Your eyes they penetrate me,

(your answer's always 'maybe')

That's when I got up and left



And each and everyday will lead into tomorrow

tomorrow brings one less day without you

But don't wait up just leave the light on

'Cause all the roads that I might take

will all one day lead back to you



And like the angel you are you laugh creating

A lightness in my chest,

Your eyes they penetrate me,

(never cease to amaze me)

That's when I got up and left

THE GC5 LYRICS - No Magic

THE GC5 LYRICS

"No Magic"

The kids are hungry and nowhere to go

A thousand distractions, so now you know

That the burn of youth in the old mens' eyes

Never put a stop to the alibis

I've seen the fantasies and heard the praises sung

All the while looking up from the bottom rung

Look down, look down and see the broken pieces of humanity

Beat down, beat down, and crushed by the heel of authority

There's no magic in your marketplace

No logic in your design

It's tragic and commonplace

The wicked leading the blind

The kids are restless and nothing to eat

A thousand fingers to point and a life of deceipt

The discourse gets so out of place

As Adam Smith laughs in Harry Browne's face

That hand is too bloody to be invisible these days

Blanket comparisons ignore divergence in many ways

FUNERAL DRESS LYRICS - Animal

FUNERAL DRESS LYRICS

"Animal"

Safety pins through my nose

Smelly combats around my toes

A leather jacket and a filthy shirt

A blasting fart, a greasy blur



I piss on you just for fun

I eat the shit from everyone

I'm a radioactive child

I get fucking pissed and I go wild



I'm an animal - so let me be

I'm an animal - filthy and free

I'm an animal - let me be, let me be

I'm an animal - filthy, wild and free



I piss on you just for fun

I eat the shit from everyone

I'm a radioactive child

I get fucking pissed and I go wild



You wanna put us in a cell

Give us a life of fucking hell

We're sick and tired of all your lies

You're the one who we despise



I'm an animal - so let me be

I'm an animal - filthy and free

I'm an animal - let me be, let me be

I'm an animal - filthy, wild and free



Safety pins through my nose

Smelly combats around my toes

A leather jacket and a filthy shirt

A blasting fart, a greasy blur



I'm an animal - so let me be

I'm an animal - filthy and free

I'm an animal - let me be, let me be

I'm an animal - filthy, wild and free

AUTOVAUGHN LYRICS - Inertia

AUTOVAUGHN LYRICS

"Inertia"

She’s the one that tore my heart in two

I can’t stop thinking of her

She’s got this look that cuts right through me right through me



I’ve heard it all

I know it’s all inertia

Pushing through the door way

I’ve seen her look this way before

Once again this beautiful distraction

Pulling me back to you

I know we’ve played these games before



What’s going on

What’s going on

What’s going on



She’s the one that tore my heart in two

I can’t stop thinking of her

She’s got this look that cuts right through me right through me



I’ve got the words but I’m afraid to use them

in the time it took to choose them

you turned and walked right through the door



What’s going on

What’s going on

What’s going on

Yeah



She’s the one that tore my heart in two

I can’t stop thinking of her

She’s got this look that cuts right through me right through me



She’s the one that tore my heart in two

I can’t stop thinking of her

She’s got this look that cuts right through me right through me



She’s so critical

Can’t feel my heart slow anymore

I’ll keep my eyes closed

Let her go

I’ll be all right



She’s the one that tore my heart in two

I can’t stop thinking of her

She’s got this look that cuts right through me right through me



She’s the one that tore my heart in two

I can’t stop thinking of her

She’s got this look that cuts right through me right through me

MAJOR ACCIDENT LYRICS - Pervert

MAJOR ACCIDENT LYRICS

"Pervert"

White man black man child abuser,

weasel faced low life loser,

lurking round where children play,

Mr. Evil stalks his prey,



String them up and hang them high,

Shoot them right between the eyes,

Cut them down and burn them slow,

You know the bastard's got to go.



No more slapped wrist no more mercy,

Nineties justice peoples jury,

In a locked room just the parents,

Ten long minutes no more perverts.



He's a pervert!

He's a creep!

All fucked up!

He's a beast!

THE RABBLE LYRICS - Break Away

THE RABBLE LYRICS

"Break Away"

GO!



I've been up, I've been down, I've been all around

I've been left, I've been right, there's no hope in sight

I hope that I will find a way

I hope that I will Break Away



You can try, you can try to break away

From your usual 9 to fucking 5

Slave away in a factory

Working for barely a little bit more than the dole!



[Chorus:]

You can try, you can try to break away

You can try, you can try to break away

(to break away)

you can try to break away

(to break away)

YEAH, WE'RE BREAKING AWAY!



I've been up, I've been down, I'm not the one with the frown

I've been left, I've been right, just to avoid a fight

You're afraid that I will break away

You can't admit that I have found a way



You can try, if you dare to break away

From your normal, boring fucking life

Waste away in a council flat

Living for nothing, but tell me, WHAT CAN YOU DO!?



[Chorus]



ALL RIGHT!



You can try, you can try...

You can try, you can try...

To break away...

To break away... [x2]



[Chorus]



LETS GO!

YOU CAN TRY TO BREAK AWAAAAYY!!

JEFFRIES FAN CLUB LYRICS - Rolled

JEFFRIES FAN CLUB LYRICS

"Rolled"

It was early every morning before the sun came up

Me and Jay in the water we could never get enough

We'd stay there until the sun went down

And when we got out yeah we'd just hang around

I wish I could go back

I can't stop looking back I don't know why

Everything looks better in my eyes that's old

I just laughed when I got rolled

I just laughed when I got rolled

I'm still looking for

I'm still looking for the good days

The kind that never come

That's the place I met my first love

She's the girl I couldn't stop thinking of

Sometimes I wonder if she looks the same

And if I saw her would she know my name

And I know I can't go back

I can't stop thinking about those days

And all the memories that you can't change are old

I just laughed when I got rolled

I just laughed when I got rolled

I'm still looking for

I'm still looking for the good days

The kind that never come, oh I know they'll never come

I'm still looking for

I'm still looking for a good way

To remember all I've done

I didn't need no television I had so much more

Behind the neighborhood liquor store

I didn't have to watch pay-per-view to learn to fight

Because the neighborhood boys taught me right

And I can't stop thinking about the way everything looked better yesterday

And I'm told I just laughed when I got rolled

I just laughed when I got rolled

MIDTOWN LYRICS - Find Comfort In Yourself

MIDTOWN LYRICS

"Find Comfort In Yourself"

how come everything

always has its way of turning

right back around again

like that night that she was leaving

And not believing that this time

Her fears were all just doubts



i'm never going back

i'm over feeling sorry so just deal with it

there's nothing wrong with that

find comfort in yourself

i know that what you have's not what you are



what you have's not what you are

what you have's not what you are



i know this one felt right

but everytime i walk away i feel shut down inside

today is no exception

And tomorrow breaks again

But I can see that this will soon be over



i'm never going back

i'm over feeling sorry so just deal with it

there's nothing wrong with that

find comfort in yourself

i know that what you have's not what you are



what you have's not what you are

what you have's not what you are

what you have's not what you are

what you have's not what you are



i'm never going back

i'm over feeling sorry so just deal with it

there's nothing wrong with that

find comfort in yourself

so you can deal with it



i'm never going back

there's nothing wrong with that

i'm never going back

find comfort in yourself

i know that what you have's not what you are

A SKYLIT DRIVE LYRICS - Running With The Light

A SKYLIT DRIVE LYRICS

"Running With The Light"

You brought this on my head... It's calling me

You sent me to my death... I figured out why

You can look into my lies but never...

You could never turn back all the clocks to take back what you did to me



Go and find your own way

Hey! Don't turn around

Is there anything left to believe in?

Go and find your own way

Hey! Get out of this town



Don't even blink

Your time has run out

Spill your guts all over the ground

Don't even blink

Your time has run out

Catch your breath

It's all over now



An infinite control shoots my body away from the soul

And now you see how I feel

You've been down this road too many times

All the streets run together



The goal of this game is to live in the night

I've never seen you frightened like I see you

I might just make this the day that everything is okay



To take back what you did to me



Go and find your own way

Hey! Don't turn around

Is there anything left to believe in?

Go and find your own way

Hey! Get out of this town

Don't turn around

Get out of this town

ONE WAY SYSTEM LYRICS - One Day Soon

ONE WAY SYSTEM LYRICS

"One Day Soon"

Livin' in a riot torn burnt out part of the city

Ain't got no one around who's gonna show you pity

Livin' in a sewer where only rats dare to roam

Ain't got no one tryin' to make you feel at home



Mad youth, you know what you are

A wild youth with no future

Don't you know that you're out of place

There is a future if you can take the pace



One day soon you know your time is gonna come

You ain't trapped on the outside, you gotta run

Petrol bombs aren't the only thing you can trust

Gotta keep running no time for gathering dust

BLACKLISTED LYRICS - Ivory Tower

BLACKLISTED LYRICS

"Ivory Tower"

I see no new day rising.

I've been living in darkness for so long.

The storm marches through the horizon coming to take me on.

Isolation has clipped my wings.

There's no way out of this cold. I need you to come close.

There's some warmth in the way that the distance grows.

I find no shelter, no security, no calm before this storm.

Staring at the sun has never, never, kept me warm.

No shelter, no shelter.

TILT LYRICS - Penny Ante

TILT LYRICS

"Penny Ante"

Does it feel good to talk me down?

Does it elevate your position?

It must feel good to be so sound

To be so sure you pass inspection



Do I threaten you?

Is your winning streak at steak?

Oh, you are calculated

In every single move you make



You think you're pretty witty, well

Go ahead and take the kitty

I threw my luck penny away

I don't hang onto chump change

It ain't no fun to play your 'Penny Ante' game

I'm out.



You got a ledger in your head

Why are you even keeping score?

You play your hand close to your vest

You're not a player, you're a bore

How can I profit you?

Well if I can't I don't exist

It must take so much of your time

To be the master strategist



You think you're pretty witty, well

Go ahead and take the kitty

I threw my luck penny away

I don't hang onto chump change

It ain't no fun to play your 'Penny Ante' game

I'm out.



Oh, I can see right through your bluff

You're so frustrated I won't pick

You'd even pay mine on the cuff

What do you hope to win?



You think you're pretty witty, well

Go ahead and take the kitty

I threw my luck penny away

I don't hang onto chump change

It ain't no fun to play your 'Penny Ante' game

I'm out.



No, I don't want to play

I'm out.



I don't want to play



I'm out. [x4]

LAGWAGON LYRICS - Billy Club

LAGWAGON LYRICS

"Billy Club"

Billy Club has got his strength

It places him above them

The feeble incompletes

Billy Club has found his pride

He looks down on their state

The verdict justified



It's self-defense

It's vigilance

It's nature's call

Oppose them all

The lesser ones are

The vital threat

He needs them



Billy Club has got his faith

He's followed every lead

Set down in history

Billy Club has found his place

It's comforting and cold

It's here he realized his role



And here it comes

That old defense

He's consequence

But he has chosen

The iron grip

His Billy Club



Desensitized.

He's everywhere

He's anyone.

He's every...



Billy Club has got his strength for this world

YOUR DEMISE LYRICS - Life Of Luxury

YOUR DEMISE LYRICS

"Life Of Luxury"

Featuring Mike LTA

Home is where the heart is, but my address is in my suitcase.

I carry my world in my hands around this world we live in.



I'm letting go of everything I used know, diving headfirst all alone.

I wouldn't change it for the world, cause this is the only thing I have come to know.



I left my love by the sea, slowly you're drowning ‘cos of me,

But just know I will be home.

Like passing vessels in the night, slowly we sail by,

But just know I will be coming home.



My eyes are wide, and I cannot sleep,

My body aches, and my mind is weak.

My coffin shakes, but I'll keep living,

I'm so scared of what comes next.



I'm just another stranger in a city I can't remember.

My bed is where I lay my head,

This is my life of luxury.

RED LIGHTS FLASH LYRICS - Pettifogger

RED LIGHTS FLASH LYRICS

"Pettifogger"

don`t waste your time -"judge"-

for me it`s prime

to feel and understand this crime

not you, i hope you will tell me the truth

is the one who`s got something to proof

a gap; wrong interpretation as for a cause;

for me it`s no excuse

it would never be controlled

so you can`t understand - the code in your hand -

why i just don`t see the guilt

don`t waste your time - "judge"-

for me it`s crime that you want

to cheat a friend of mine

justice ain`t no guaranty -

if you retain the service of an expensive attorney

it`s a question o rank in society

Ya no tengo fé, ché, ya no tengo fé

Why do we waste our lives?

When we can be so much more

We can be so much more

NEW YORK DOLLS LYRICS - It's Too Late

NEW YORK DOLLS LYRICS

"It's Too Late"

Got the invitation to that seventies expose

But how she ever gonna love you when she can't parlez vous your Francais

You know that she can't stop dancin' and that's just about to make you scream

When you where actin' so damn fine

You tryin' hard not to be so mean

And you're tryin' to tell me

Ow



That how many times I gotta tell baby it's too late

It's too too late

I told you a thousand times baby it's too late



That's when I saw your mama and she's the blonde queen of the prom

And you're the little heiress to the kingdom from the flesh right down to the bone

Cause I saw you last night darlin' on the midnight flight to the stars

But you spend most your time in the powder room where you chit chat with Diana Doors

And you tryin' to tell her

Ow



That how many times I gotta tell baby it's too late

It's too too late

I told you a thousand times but baby it's too late



You invite us up to that B-trip (?) but that's nothing new on me

That reminds me of problems back in 1933

Now you where here when they crashed on down and the geckos (?) got smacked up

And now all of God's children,

They gettin' what they want

When they get the ticket

OW! OW!



That how many times I gotta tell baby it's too late

It's too too late

I told you a thousand times but baby it's too late

BAD BRAINS LYRICS - Destroy Babylon

BAD BRAINS LYRICS

"Destroy Babylon"

Don't beat yourself upside the head. Don't beat yourself for this. Don't beat yourself upside the head, don't beat yourself for this. Oh, there is a way out. It's a natural plan, the natural. How many days do we sit around, while they keep on burying all our leaders in the ground. Organize, centralize. It's time for us to fight for our lives. Destroy Babylon. Oh there is a way.

INHALE EXHALE LYRICS - Condemned

INHALE EXHALE LYRICS

"Condemned"

How easy it is to state a point.

Words become knives and guns become eyes.

Shoot them down and slit their throats.

Live their life and then you'll know.

Shoot them down and slit their throats.

Live their life and then you'll know.



You were wrong all this time.

I believed in you.

It doesn't make it right.

I'm holding on to you, to you tonight...



You've slaughtered the friendships you love.

Friends become foes and soon you'll be alone.

Hide your knife and stash the gun.

Pride yourself in what you've done.

Hide your knife and stash the gun.

Pride yourself in what you've done.



You were wrong all this time.

I believed in you.

It doesn't make it right.

I'm holding on to you, to you tonight.

And after all we've done and after all we've seen.

I swear that this is killing me.

And after all we've done and after all we've seen.

I swear that this is killing me...



You were wrong all this time.

I believed in you.

It doesn't make it right.

I'm holding on to you...

HOLD ON KID LYRICS - Here Is Your Song

HOLD ON KID LYRICS

"Here Is Your Song"

Goodbye, I can't stand you anymore

I won't say it to your face

You never said it to mine,

So here is your song

I hope one day you'll hear it

And feel the way that I felt

On the night I wrote this one for you



One day we're fine

The next you hate me

With nothing in between

What could I have done

That was so wrong

You won't even talk to me

I gave my everything



So you'll say goodbye again

To everything we had

To everything we had



So goodbye I can't stand you anymore

I won't say it to your face

You never said to mine

So here is your song

I hope one day you'll hear it

And feel the way that I felt

I wrote this one for you



Now I see that I'm not good enough for you

But what else do you want me to do

It seems that everything I do is wrong

And I can't keep you happy while someone else is



So you'll say goodbye again

To everything we had

To everything we had



So goodbye I can't stand you anymore

I won't say it to your face

You never said to mine

So here is your song

I hope one day you'll hear it

And feel the way that I felt

I wrote this one for you



This is the last time

I'm saying this to you

I cannot stand you



So take your memories

The friendship we once had

You'll remember me one day

When it all comes crashing down

But remember now I'm gone

And there's no second chances

Now you've got to make it on your own

Now you've got to make it on your own

Fuck you I'll do it on my own

KNAPSACK LYRICS - Fortunate And Holding

KNAPSACK LYRICS

"Fortunate And Holding"

Take a second, think of everything you've done

You're getting warmer, while your former

Blocks out the sun

Standing close to the ground, a lucky charm he found

To wish this away

Pressing deep in his palm for some kind of calm

To make things seem okay



Places you should never go

And that's exactly where you've been

And people you should never know

The ones you call your friends



They're sealing fates tonight, underneath the cheap lights

Let's make sure that we can't talk

And you don't twist your words

No matter what I've heard

It's just the way they talk

Standing close to the ground, a lucky charm he found

To wish this away

Pressing deep in his palm for some kind of calm

To make things seem okay



Places you should never go

And that's exactly where you've been

And people you should never know

The ones you call your friends



Places you should never go

And that's exactly where you've been

And people you should never know

The ones you call your friends
