Make A Change

I see it on the streets as we walk right by
what little value we place on human live
but it's time we get priorities It's time to rearrange
won't turn away any longer it's time we make a change 
people so cold they ignore others pain 
people too proud to realize that we're the same
but it's time we get priorities It's time to rearrange
won't turn away any longer it's time we make a change

Thinking Straight

Life's filled with many paths which one should I take
when the choice comes I won't run I'll be thinking straight
life's filled with conflicts  we'll face we'll overcome them thinking straight
experiments with your mind you see things I can't see
well no thanks, friend because now it ends when you push that shit on me
my mind is free to think and see strong enough to resist temptation 
we've been strong for all these years
life gets rough so we'll stand tough and confront all our fears


Stabbed In The Back

We were brothers you and me loyal to our hardcore scene
our thought our aims our goals were true 
then something happened to you you changed
stabbed in the back
I remember all the things that you said shit you said
I guess it was just a bunch of lies fucking lies
stabbed us all in the back right in the back
don't you dare look me in the eyes
all we stood for, all our dreams you've forgotten what they mean
I tell you this my thoughts are real and I'll never change the way I feel


Take A Stand

I see you hide do you have pride afraid to share what's inside
you've been walked right by a real nice guy overlooked and shoved aside 
can't hear your voice back in the crowd move up front and shout out loud 
take a stand  take a stand say what you feel
be who you want, but be for real  voice your opinion don't just sit still
speak your mind at your free will
take a stand stand your ground don't let the world push you around
take a stand stand your ground don't let the world push you around 
take a stand take a fucking stand take a stand

Honesty

You steal and take from everyone else do you feel good about yourself 
Instead of taking try to give and then you'll feel good about the way you live
honesty need some honesty
too many of us filled with greed overlooking those who need
open your eyes and change your ways open your heart and break away
honesty


One Family

I have so much hope and anticipation for the future generations
I think kids today are growing up smart with open minds and open hearts
we can do it we'll put our heads to it and then we'll be one family
a world filled with racial stress but it seems every year less and less
those old fashioned standards are going away tomorrow will be a brighter day
we can do it we'll put our heads to it and then we'll be one family
so if you agree and want to help first you must look inside yourself
because unity begins with just us two then we'll watch it spread to all of you
we can do it we'll put our heads to it and then we'll be one family In the end.

Break Down The Walls

I used to think that labels were just symbols of pride
but over time I've seen they only served to divide
It's so easy to judge people by the way them seem to be
We must overcome this problem to live life peacefully
Break Down The walls!
yes,weŽll break down the walls
look beyond the fashion or the crowd that they are in
look beyond their riches or the color of their skin
look beyond appearance and the truth you will find
look for what's inside before you make up your mind
break Down The walls
yes, we'll break down the walls

Shout It 

Not on this stage to take up space I'm here to communicate face to face
I'll hold my head up high and shout it look you in the eye and shout it
hold my head up high shout it look you in the eye and shout it
criticized for speaking out I guess you don't know what we're about
so I'll hold my head up high and shout its look you in the eye shout it
hold my head up high shout it look you in the eye and shout it
we're just some friends who want to be heard through out music we'll spread our word
trying our best to figure what life is about seeing the good makes me want to shout
shout it there's nothing wrong with saying my part the message I cry is from the heart
won't change my ideas just to please you you've built the walls we're breaking through


Time To Forgive

In the back of my mind it keeps me on edge
s soul filled with love but I can't help but feel contempt instead
so let's forget the past and the grudges that we hold
If we don't do it soon you know it will explode
let's shape a better way of life time to forgive 
I'm sorry for the bottled up anger what was it about
It's time to forgive I'm glad that it's all over now


Positive Outlook

Through the clouds I see the light my conscience tells me
what's wrong and right morals and goals deep inside
a bunch of feelings I can't hide but that's me
It's the way I live my outlook on life is positive 
so what should I hide or try to conceal all of these feelings
that I feel like to sit and talk about them I want to stand and shout them 


Standing Hard

Proud of who I am what I say and what I do proud of who I am
what I say and what I do I'm standing fucking hard


Free At Last


This world is filled with competition and greed 
a disgusting way of life but we'll try to break free free at last
we've got to break free We'll try no  we'll do it 
the monotonous lives of the working class we'll never fall into that rut
we'll keep fighting until we are free at last 


Youth Of Today


The kids will make it happen we're starting a new way
people helping people In the world today
physically strong morally straight positive youth
we're the Youth of Today never fight with each other
use our heads before our fists then we'll kick down all the barriers
of hate and prejudice live fast die young  was just a fad
for a bunch of losers who didn't care I'm gonna live my life
breathe every breath look towards the future 
and move straight ahead
