atom bomb, tnt new disease, poor city flying over hiroshima, 1945 the city looks small from way up here i wonder who'll survive [chorus:] atom bomb, tnt new disease, poor city a blinding flash hotter than the sun dead bodies lie across the path the radiation colors the air finishing one by one [chorus]

when the cat's away, the mice will play beer and drugs and things to say to you, to you lots of girls and lots of boys loud music and all the toys we need, we need [chorus:] we have to go the neighbors have complained we have to go the walls have all been stained they have to know they cant stop us now they have to know we could burn this town old men and kids on the run missing teeth and now the damage is done, it's all been done losing battles, losing fights the police would love to take away our rights, our rights [chorus]

nothing she can do, she's so confused something should be done, but she'll refuse she's got a new fix, to ease her pain she's got a new fix, to control her brain oh, no no no mainliner, mainliner out of frustration, she unwraps the foil takes out her spoon, starts to boil she used to be pretty, to all her friends but the hypodermic needle took her to the end oh, no no no mainliner, mainliner she's boiling up, always in heat stick it in again just to keep her beat this time she'll try a little more this time we found her on the floor oh, no no no mainliner, mainliner...

You beat us up when we're alone
Come back later and then you're gone
Now you're tucked away in your bed
And I've got stitches in my head
[Chorus:]
cause you didn't like my looks
cause I'm not in the fashion books
admit it, you had some fun,
just remember, I'm not the only one
You made a show for all your friends
But they're not gonna stick around to the end
Then you're gonna think, "Was it really worth it?"
Then your head is rolling in all that shit
[Chorus]
The justice system is slow it's true
So we'll have to take care of you
You're only safety is suicide
Face it buddy it's the end of the ride
[Chorus]
Moral Threat

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,
You won't see these kids in heaven
Colored hair and funny clothes
They are the menace of today
And they won't listen to what you say
But don't forget that they're your future
[Chorus:]
They're loud, they're obnoxious and proud
They are conscious
But don't forget that they're your future
They're loud, they're obnoxious they're proud
They are conscious
But don't forget that they're your future
These kids are accused for all the violence
You can't even keep them silent
You thought you had all the answers
You won't be able to make them pay
Cause they're not gonna fade away
Don't forget that they're your future
[Chorus]
Don't forget they're your future
And you thought you had all the answers

we're sitting here in this hell you know it's like a living hell was what you did really a crime? the judge says you'll have to serve time it's the law that you're in jail it's the law that sets your bail don't bother to try and fight it's only a few more nights the deputy, had a bad night he had a little fight with his wife and so he's gonna be pised at work and he's gonna bum out your life it's the law that you're in jail it's the law that sets your bail don't bother to try and fight it's only a few more nights

Under my thumb' the girl
Who once had me down
Under my thumb's the girl
Who once fucked me around
It's down to me
The way she does when she stole the truth out of me
Change has come, she's under my thumb

Under my thumb's
The squirmin' dog who's just had her day
Under my thumb's
A girl who has just changed her ways
It's down to me

The difference in the clothes she wears, down to me
Change has come, she's under my thumb

Under my thumb
It's a siamese
Cat of a girl
Under my thumb
Well, she's the sweetest
Pet in the world
It's down to me

The way she does as wash your soul out of me
Change has come, she's under my thumb

Under my thumb
Her eyes are just kept
To herself
Under my thumb
Well, I
I can still look at someone else
It's down to me

The way she comes when I tell here to laugh at me
Change has come, she's under my thumb
Yeah

an emotional outbreak, stepped on by people's feet, controlling panic, who'll be the next one in line, a nervous disturbance, there's a sniper on the top of the roof, the masses of people, fitting through one single door
