US Forces - Lyrics
U.S. forces give the nod
Its a setback for your country
Bombs and trenches all in rows
Bombs and threats still ask for more
Divided world the CIA
Who controls the issue
You leave us with no time to talk
You can write your own assessment
[Chorus]
Sing me songs of no denying
Seems to me too many trying
Waiting for the next big thing
Will you know it when you see it
High risk children dogs of war
Now market movements call the shots
Business deals in parking lots
Waiting for the meat of tomorrow
[Chorus]
Everyone is too stoned to start emission
People too scared to go to prison
Were unable to make decisions
Political party line dont cross that floor
L. Ron Hubbard cant save your life
Superboy takes a plutonium wife
In the shadows of Ban the Bomb we live
[Chorus]

Put Down That Weapon - Lyrics
Under the waterline
No place to retire
To another time
The eyes of the world now turn
And if we think about it
And if we talk about it
And if the skies go dark with rain
Can you tell me, does our freedom remain?
[Chorus 1]
Put down that weapon or well all be gone
You cant hide nowhere with the torchlight on
And it happens to be an emergency
Some things arent meant to be
Some things dont come for free
Above the waterline
Point the finger, yeah, point the bone
Its the harbour towns
That the grey metal ships call home
And if we think about it
And if we talk about it
And if the sea goes boiling black
Can you tell me what youll do about that
[Chorus 2]
Put down that weapon or well all be gone
I must know something to know its so wrong
And it happens to be an emergency
Some things arent meant to be
Some things dont come for free
They keep talking about it
They keep talking about it
They keep talking
They keep talking
Talking
And it happens to be an emergency
Some things arent meant to be
Some things dont come for free
[Chorus 2]
[Chorus 3]
Put down that weapon or well all be gone
You must be crazy if you think youre strong
Cause it happens to be an emergency
Some things arent meant to be
And some things dont come for free

White Skin, Black Heart - Lyrics
Yeah, whatcha gonna do now, now that you started?
Whatcha gonna do now, now that its done?
The words got out there, they float around and are coming right back down
You gonna leave us lying here
Dealing with the consequences of a bad sound
Of a bad sound
White skin black heart
White skin black heart
Whatcha gonna do now, that its spoken?
These words of a habit, have not faded away
.................... it clear, conscious gets opened like a wound
If you cant concieve a better line and better times
Then let silence bury you, in the end
When you feel it, when you feel it
Youre condemned
You see, youve lost your strangle on the freedom road! You
Think ........................of something a long time ago! You
[spewed it out you were so] insecure! It was like ............. on
The toilet floor! Youre a [nine seat] drunk, ............... and
You say you want something, .......... you heard the rednecks
Roaring for blood and then they wanted more! Life was so small, you
Couldnt get enough. You made a start
White skin black heart
Dripping
White skin black heart
White skin black heart
White skin black heart
White skin black heart
Drag your eyes from [aurora] black heart!
White skin black heart
Drag your leg, get outta here [my sight]!
White skin black heart
White skin black heart
White skin black heart
White skin black heart
You didnt have to start
White skin black heart
White skin black heart
