Nihilism [top | next]
Written by Armstrong and Freeman
Duration - 2:02

Hey, hey, hey, hey,
Come into the Union district
drive down on Sharmon Palms
White ghettos paint a picture
broken homes and broken bones

I was so full of scotch I could not stand up
I was hittin' the shots and I moved to a cup

Release me from moral assumption
total rejection total destruction

Nihilistic feelings are moving
if you try really hard you'll see right through them

Nihilism, nihilism,
nihilism, nihilism

Come into the Union district
drive down on Sharmon Palms
White ghettos paint a picture
broken homes and broken bones
Walkin' a path of self destruction
not affected by repercussion
Lady on the billboard offer me a drink
said not right now I need time to think

Nihilistic feelin's are movin'
If I try real hard I'll see right through them

Nihilism, nihilism, nihilism, nihilism
Nihilism, nihilism, nihilism, nihilism

I was so full of scotch I could not stand up
I was hittin' the shots and I moved to a cup

Well yea I come into the Union district
and you drive down Sharmon Palms
White ghetto paints a picture
broken homes and broken bones
Yeah broken bones
Hey, hey, hey, hey

Never fell in love 'til I fell in love with you
Never know what a good time was until I had a good time with you
If you wanna get the feelin' and you wanna get it right
Then the music's gotta be loud
For when the music hits I feel no pain at all
You know

Warm summer night I was drinking with my dad
He tried to give me love that I never had
But he gave more love to his bottle of wine
So I had to go out find love of another kind

Here it is Here I am Turn it up fuckin´ loud
Radio, Radio, Radio, Radio, Radio, Radio, Radio
When I got the music I got a place to go
Radio, Radio, Radio, Radio, Radio, Radio, Radio
When I've got the music I got a place to go

Two tools surley lost no remorse ignoring the cost

I had a dream I was a vigilante's sidekick
My name is Tim I'm a lesser known character
I had a dream I was a vigilante's sidekick
Fighting crime in the streets together

Down in Oakland off of West Grand,
St Joseph relief poor program
A good place were good people get food yeah
Help your fellow man is a good thing to do yeah
Government agency said be afraid of me
I'll shut your doors down it wont phase me
Wolverine came through left the agent for dead
Opened up the doors back up everyone was fed

I had a dream I was a vigilante's sidekick
My name is Tim I'm a lesser known character
I had a dream I was a vigilante's sidekick
Fighting crime in the streets together

Do not bill them abandoned buildings
It's nice to sleep when you got a ceiling
Neighbourhood watch said we gotta put a stop yea
Can't have people livin' for free call the cops yea
Here comes the SWAT team, and the M-16,
They'll shoot the walls in, destroy the building.
Wolverine was sad and it made him mad
Every single cop got a bullet in the head

I had a dream I was a vigilante's sidekick
My name is Tim I'm a lesser known character
I had a dream I was a vigilante's sidekick
Fighting crime in the streets together

Realise you're dehumanised
You criticise your existence
It´s your demise when no sun arise
When you're paralysed by your lack of resistance

She know she is
She knows she's going
Down below where the fire's glowing
Tenderloin, tenderloin, tenderloin

She know she is
She knows she's going
Down below where the fire's glowing
Tenderloin, tenderloin, tenderloin

The tricks she gets them she's not a victim
She makes a list of them and reads them all alone
For money she's walking down on larkin
In T.I. they're rocking all night long

She know she is
She knows she's going
Down below where the fire's glowing
Tenderloin, tenderloin, tenderloin

She know she is
She knows she's going
Down below where the fire's glowing
Tenderloin, tenderloin, tenderloin

War between races War between lies
War between something that was deep inside
You was wrong all along I was right you lied
U to the N to the I T Y
Straight down too late can it kick the feeling
Lookin' from the bottom I can't see the ceiling
Shots rang out in the Oakland winter
Can't stand alone you can't stand together
As one, as one, as one, as one
No matter what they do they'll try to divide you
Fear you up what's inside you way down down down
The scale hook the anchor to the gates of hell
Once you realise that it was so simple
What you're given you can't take with you
I asked somebody if if they had the same vision
He said yeah I had the same vision
As one, as one, as one, as one, as one, ohhhh, yea
War between races War between lies
War between something that was deep inside
You was wrong all along I was right you lied
U to the N to the I T Y
Straight down too late can it kick that feeling
Looking from the bottom I can't see the ceiling
Shots rang out in the Oakland winter
Can't stand alone you can't stand together
As one, as one, as one, as one

Duration - 2:21


Bloody Thursday was July 6th
The pigs killed three workers
Harry Bridges grabbed the mic
The city shut down on July 6th
The workers were outraged
It was a general strike
The media claimed that the commies
Were taking over and some believed it was true
Three uncompromising strikes paved the way
Minnesota, San Francisco, Toledo

Over and over again
The doors are locked and the windows are broken

Eddie worked for General Motors
He swore he'd never lose his job again
A union man who owned his own home
In beautiful Flint, Michigan
Eddie lost his job and Eddie lost his home
So Eddie lost his self esteem
Last time I saw Eddie
He was living in a trailor park again

Over and over again
The doors are locked and the windows are broken

I believe that Eddie forgave too much too soon
I got a letter about Eddie
It was bad news

Over and over again
The doors are locked and the windows are broken

Intoxication of a generation

They said their security system was too big to outrun
Well I broke away and I'm never goin´ back
For all the souls they broke
Mine never cracked

Sedation throughout the nation
We're screaming. we're screaming, we're screaming
Black and blue

She's got her ticket & she's waitin' at the station
She's got to get away as far as she can
Her problems will arise as sure as the sun does shine
She's got to get used to living on the lam

Now Mary's out the door with a loaded .44 in her hand
Shootin' down the law that shot down her dear departed man

When I last saw her she was lookin' troubled
She said this is the 90's I'm gonna be alright
She took the Greyhound into Salinas
I got a letter then she dropped out of sight

Now Mary's out the door with a loaded .44 in her hand
Shootin' down the law that shot down her dear departed man

Shrouded in anger
Encompassed by pain
He was your best friend & you'll never see him again
Now Mary's out the door with a loaded .44 in her hand
Shootin' down the law that shot down her dear departed man
