Anthrax - Return Of The Killer As (2000) by Anthrax (보컬) on maniadb.com

Bass!
How low can you go?
Death row, what a brother knows
Once again, back is the incredible
The rhyme animal

The incredible D, Public Enemy, number one
"Five-O" said "Freeze!" and I got numb
Can I tell 'em that I really never had a gun
But it's the wax that the terminator X spun

Now they got me in a cell, 'cause my records, they sell
'Cause a brother like me said, "Well...
...Farrakahn's a prophet and I think you ought to listen
To what he can say to you, what you ought to do"

Follow for now, power of the people, say
"Make a miracle, D, pump the lyrical"
Black is back, all in, we're gonna win
Check it out, yeah y'all, c'mon, here we go again

Turn it up! Bring the noise (x2)

Never badder than bad, 'cause the brother is madder than mad
At the fact that's corrupt as a senator
Soul on a roll, but you treat it like soap on a rope
'Cause the beats in the lines are so dope

Listen for lessons I'm saying inside music
That the critics are blasting me for
They'll never care for the brothers and sisters
Now across the country has us up for the war

We got to demonstrate, come on now
They're gonna have to wait 'til we get it right
Radio stations, I question their blackness
They call themselves black, but we'll see if they'll play this

Turn it up, bring the noise (x2)

Get from in front of me, the crowd runs to me
My deejay is warm, he's X, I call him Norm, ya know
He can cut a record from side to side
So what, the ride, the glide should be much safer than a suicide

Soul control, beat is the father of your rock 'n' roll
Music for whatcha, for whichin', you call a band man
Makin' a music, abuse it, but you can't do it, ya know
You call 'em demos, but we ride limos too

Whatcha gonna do? Rap is not afraid of you
Beat is for Sonny Bono, beat is for Yoko Ono
Run-DMC first said a DJ could be a band
Stand on its own feet, get you out your seat

Beat is for Eric B and L. L. as well, hell
Wax is for Anthrax, still I can rock bells ever
Forever, universal it will sell
Time for me to exit, Terminator X-it

Turn it up, Bring the noise (x2)

From coast to coast, so you stop being like a comatose
Stand my man? The beat's the same with a boost-toast
Rock with some pizazz, it will last, why you ask?
Roll with the rock stars, you'll never get accepted

As we got to plead the fifth, we can investigate
Don't need to wait, get the record straight
Hey, posse's in effect, got Flavor
Terminator X to sign checks, play to get paid

We got to check it out down on the avenue
A magazine or two is dissing me and dissing you
Yeah, I'm telling you...

Everything is perfect
Everything is sick, that's it
You can't tell me to stop it
You can't tell me not to quit, that's it

Revolve around yourself
It's you and no one else
Hard for me to stay
Swinging moods that change
From calmness to deranged
Unpredictable, unpredictable

You would see if
Only
You hadn't taken things out of my hands
Only
You never wanted to understand

Clashing ways to live here
Compromise for me
I'm at both ends of the spectrum
You're somewhere in the between
Ah, come clean

Revolve around yourself
It's you and no one else
Hard for me to stay
Swinging moods that change
From calmness to deranged
Unpredictable, unpredictable

You would see if
Only
You hadn't taken things out of my hands
Only
You never wanted to understand

Only
You hadn't taken things out of my hands
Only
You never wanted to understand
Only
You hadn't taken things out of my hands
Only
You never wanted to understand

Crucified, terrified, sacrifice, my whole life
My whole life, my whole life, my whole life
My whole life
If only...
I can't contain myself
I can't contain myself
I just can't take myself

People moving out, people moving in
Why? because of the color of their skin
Run, run, run, but you sho' can't hide
An eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth
Vote for me and I'll set you free
Rap on, brother, rap on

Well, the only person talking about love, thy brother
Is the preacher
And it seems nobody's interested in learning
But the teacher

Segregation, determination, demonstration, integration
Aggravation, humiliation, obligation to our nation
Ball of confusion, oh yeah
That's what the world is today, hey

The sale of pills are at an all-time high
Young folks walking round with their heads in the sky
Cities aflame in the summertime, and oh
The beat goes on

Evolution, revolution, gun control, sound of soul
Shooting rockets to the moon
Kids growing up too soon
Politicians say more taxes will solve everything
And the band played on

So, round and around and around we go
Where the world's headed, nobody knows
Oh, Great Googamooga
Can't you hear me talking to you

Just a ball of confusion, oh yeah
That's what the world is today, ooh, yeah yeah

Fear in the air, tension everywhere
Unemployment rising fast, the Beatles' new record's a gas
And the only safe place to live is on an Indian reservation
And the band played on

Eve of destruction, tax deduction
City inspectors, bill collectors
Mod clothes in demand
Population out of hand

Suicide, too many bills
Hippies moving to the hills
People all over the world are shouting, "End the war"
And the band played on

Oh, Great Googamooga, can't you hear me talking to you
Sayin' ball of confusion
That's what the world is today, hey

Let me hear ya
Let me hear ya
Let me hear ya
Sayin' ball of confusion
That's what the world is today, hey

Let me hear ya
Let me hear ya
Let me hear ya

(Now you see me now you dontx3)

Now you see me now you don't
Go before I am the goat
You get away with murder, kill me when you're through
Do I have to give up me, to be loved by you
You Get away with murder, What do i have to do
Do I have to give up me, to be loved by you
To be loved by you
To be loved by you
To be loved by you

From the smallest taste I use
From the smallest taste I lose

Won't you crush on me
Crush on me
Crush on me
Crush on me
Crush on me
Crush on me
Crush on me
Crush on me
Crush on

Pile your dead on top of me
Tape my eyes so I can't see
You get away with murder, kill me when you're through
Do I have to give up me, to be loved by you
You Get away with murder, What do i have to do
Do I have to give up me, to be loved by you
To be loved by you
To be loved by you
To be loved by you

From the smallest taste I use
From the smallest taste I lose

Won't you crush on me
Crush on me
Crush on me
Crush on me
Crush on me
Crush on me
Crush on me
Crush on me
Crush on

(Under "Crush on me")
I've been waiting for today
I can't touch you when you're far away
Nothing makes me feel this way
Except hate but that fades away

Fix the mental, as if that changes anything
Your heart is cured now, you're normal once again
One confession, you thought that's all it took
But redemption, doesn't let you off the hook

One of us
Can't erase the past to change who he would be
One of us
On a whim would act, then look for sympathy
Not from me

Hear me say...

One more
Chance to believe in
That you can even the score
One more
Place at the table
Always room for one more
Room for one more

Thinking evil, is that just your normal gig
Fueled by hatred, happy as a stuffed pig
You're so lonely, everyone around you reeks
Of indifference, thriving in their apathy

One of us
Can't erase the past to change who he would be
One of us
On a whim would act, then look for sympathy
Not from me

Hear me say...

One more
Chance to believe in
That you can even the score
One more
Place at the table
Always room for one more
One more
Chance to believe in
That you can even the score
One more
Place at the table
Always room for one more
Room for one more

Your schism, my distress
Your failure is my success
Squeezed out, kept me down
What goes around comes around
I can wait you out
Patience is my virtue
Call it payback, call it proper grounds
What goes around always comes around, always comes around

Hear me say...

One more
Chance to believe in
That you can even the score
One more
Place at the table
Always room for one more
One more
Chance to believe in
That you can even the score
One more
Place at the table
Always room for one more
Room for one more
Always room for one more

I thought I knew what provocation was
I thought I knew what provocation was
I've eaten from the insane's root that imprisons reason
It's in my stomach like fire,
And like cancer and like a knife, I've been gunshot
Gotta let it go, gotta let it go, gotta let it go, yeah........
It's in my stomach like fire,
It's in my stomach like cancer, it's in my stomach like a knife, I've been gunshot

Chorus:
Goddamn no where place to be
Dying deep inside of me
Always standin' on the inside lookin' out
Can't break a heart so strong with pride
It's more than just being alive
I broke the rule with you I'm out

My only antidote to mental suffering is physical pain
I've eaten from the insane root that imprisons reason
I've eaten from the insane root that imprisons reason
It's in my stomach like fire,
And like cancer and like a knife, I've been gunshot
Gotta let it go, gotta let it go, gotta let it go, yeah........
It's in my stomach like fire,
It's in my stomach like cancer, it's in my stomach like a knife, I've been gunshot

Chorus:
Goddamn no where place to be
Dying deep inside of me
Always standin' on the inside lookin' out
Can't break a heart so strong with pride
It's more than just being alive
I broke the rule with you I'm out
Goddamn no where place to be
Dying deep inside of me
Always standin' on the inside lookin' out
Can't break a heart so strong with pride
It's more than just being alive
I broke the rule with you I'm out, out, out.......

Solo

Chorus:
Goddamn no where place to be
Dying deep inside of me
Always standin' on the inside lookin' out
Can't break a heart so strong with pride
It's more than just being alive
I broke the rule with you I'm out, yeah, yeah, yeah...............
Goddamn no where place to be
Dying deep inside of me
Always standin' on the inside lookin' out
Can't break a heart so strong with pride
It's more than just being alive
I broke the rule with you I'm out, out, out, out, out.......................

I'm out to mix it up and change my complexion
To coat the feelings and cure my depression
A shot of petrol is my bonafide method
To lose control and get thoroughly distracted

I'm on the money, here I come
Fuel for my engine, and I¹m gone

I like to forget why I feel this compulsive
As I toss tomorrow's dreams in the garbage
What's important is a mind that's sicker
Turning Jekyll into Hide much quicker

I'm on the money, here I come
Fuel for my engine, and I'm gone

1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4
Kickstart and turn me over
Punchdrunk, but I'm still sober
Fourteen years and a whole lot bolder
And I don't flinch
Hungry and I'll take the best
'Cause I never wanted anything less
What doesn't kill me makes me stronger

It's like a war inside me, I'm good, I¹m evil
Two sides of the coin and I've been blessed with both
On one hand I am you, but I don't like you
I guess that's the nature of the way things work

I¹m on the money, here I come
Fuel for my engine, and I'm gone

1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4
Kickstart and turn me over
Punchdrunk, but I'm still sober
Bukowski's on my shoulder
With much to think
Hungry and I'll take the best
'Cause I never wanted anything less
What doesn't kill makes me stronger
It's like a war inside me, action is all I know
Tell me it's suicide, tell me something I don't know

I don't know why I've been made some kind of hero
When I've done all I can do to prove I'm not
It's amazing to think someone could trust me
Tell me what do you know about me really ?
And I you make the mistake of getting close to,
Me, you'll just give me all that you've got
So I don't know why I've been made some kind of hero
When I've done all I can do to prove I'm not

1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4
Kickstart and turn me over
Punchdrunk, but I'm still sober
Fourteen years and a whole lot bolder
And I don't flinch
Hungry and I'll take the best
'Cause I never wanted anything less
What doesn't kill me makes me stronger

1, 2, 3, 4, 1, I can't close this broken door

It's just the nature of the way things work
You wanna be me, I don't give a damn
Anyone can do it but it takes a man not to
Try so hard to give me a real life
Anyone can do it but it takes a man not to
It's just the nature of the way things work

Disease Disease
Spreading the disease
With some help from Captain Trips,
He'll bring the world down to his knees
Power, yes Power
He'll show them all his power
It pulses through his ice cold blood
A whole world to devour

Pre-Chorus

He's seeing, He's calling
His legacy, He's spawning
He's coming, corrupting
Among the living

Murder Murder
Commit cold blooded murder
Like Nazis during World War Two
They only follow orders
Hatred, Hatred
A crucifix is your bed
Once he turns his eye on you
You'd be better off dead

He's seeing, He's calling
His legacy, He's spawning
He's coming, corrupting
Among the living

I am the walkin' dude
I can see all the world
Twist your minds with fear
I'm the man with the power
Among the living
Follow me or die

Man, fights Man
Divided they can't stand
United they can battle back
And make him force his hand
Fear, yes Fear
His end is growing near
He didn't count on man's good faith
And their will to persevere
He's seeing, He's calling
His legacy, He's spawning
He's coming, corrupting
Among the living
I am the walkin' dude
I can see all the world
Twist your minds with fear
I'm the man with the power
Among the living
Follow me or die
LEAD BREAK

Fire, hot fire
Purge the world with fire
Damnation is the price he'll pay
For an evil man's desire
Good, vs. Evil
The stand to vanquish evil
Man can only live one way
That place right in the middle
He's seeing, He's calling
His legacy, He's spawning
He's coming, corrupting
Among the living
I am the walkin' dude
I can see all the world
Twist your minds with fear
I'm the man with the power
Among the living
Follow me or die
AMONG

Wake up, got another day to get
Through now, got another man to see
Gotta call him on the telephone, way-o
Gotta find a piece of paper

Sit down, got another letter to write
Think hard, gotta get a letter just right
Little ringing on the telephone, woah no
Gotta write another letter

No such thing as tomorrow
All we want (two three go!)

Time!
Got the time tick, tick, tickin' in my head
Time!
Got the time tick, tick, tickin' in my head
Time!
Got the time tick, tick, tickin' in my head

Ticking in my head
Ticking in my head
Ticking in my head

If I tell you what I'm doing today
Will you shut up and get out of my way?
Someone asked me what the time is, I don't know
Only know I gotta go now

No time, tryin' to get a watch repaired
No time, never got a thing to wear
Little ringing on the telephone, woah no
Hear a ringing in my head now

No such thing as tomorrow
All we want (two three go!)

Time!
Got the time tick, tick, tickin' in my head
Time!
Got the time tick, tick, tickin' in my head
Time!
Got the time tick, tick, tickin' in my head

Ticking in my head
Ticking in my head
Ticking in my head

No such thing as tomorrow
All we want (two three go!)

Time!
Got the time tick, tick, tickin' in my head
Time!
Got the time tick, tick, tickin' in my head
Time!
Got the time tick, tick, tickin' in my head

Ticking in my head
Time!
Got the time tick, tick, tickin' in my head
Time!
Got the time tick, tick, tickin' in my head
Time!
Got the time tick, tick, tickin' in my head

Ticking in my head
Ticking in my head
Ticking in my head

We all see black and white
When it comes to someone else's fight
No one ever gets involved
Apathy can never solve

FORCED OUT - Brave and Mighty
STOLEN LAND - They can't fight it
HOLD ON - To pride and tradition
Even though they know how much their lives are really missin'
WE'RE DISSIN' THEM...

On reservations
A hopeless situation

Respect is something that you earn
Our Indian brothers' getting burned
Original American
Turned into second class citizen

FORCED OUT - Brave and Mighty
STOLEN LAND - They can't fight it
HOLD ON - To pride and tradition
Even though they know how much their lives are really missin'
WE'RE DISSIN' THEM...

On reservations
A hopeless situation

Cry for the Indians
Die for the Indians
Cry for the Indians
Oh, Cry, Cry
Cry for the Indians

Love the land and fellow man
Peace is what we strive to have
Some folks have none of this
Hatred and Prejudice

FORCED OUT - Brave and Mighty
STOLEN LAND - They can't fight it
HOLD ON - To pride and tradition
Even though they know how much their lives are really missin'
WE'RE DISSIN' THEM...

On reservations
A hopeless situation

Cry for the Indians
Die for the Indians
Cry for the Indians
Cry, Cry
Cry for the Indians

WARDANCE!!!

TERRITORY, It's just the body of the nation
The people that inhabit it make its configuration
PREJUDICE, Something we all can do without
Cause a flag of many colors is what this land is all about!!!!

We all see black and white
When it comes to someone else's fight
No one ever gets involved
Apathy can never solve

FORCED OUT - Brave and Mighty
STOLEN LAND - They can't fight it
HOLD ON - To pride and tradition
Even though they know how much their lives are really missin'
WE'RE DISSIN' THEM...

On reservations
A hopeless situation

Cry for the Indians
Die for the Indians
Cry for the Indians
Cry, Cry
Cry for the Indians...

You're a train ride to no importance
You're in love with hell existence
Money is all that you desire
Why don't you pack it in and retire
It's common sense you can't fool me
I'm just the money that you can't let free
Rainy day genius clouds your mind
don't you realize the blind lead the blind

You're anti, you're antisocial

Oh mister time will you ever unwind
Or just rebuild a new design
Your claim to fame is law and order
The rich get rich, the poor get poor
You put a price tag on what you see
This one's for you, that's for me
If that's winning I'd rather lose
Why don't you listen to my senseless views

You're anti, you're antisocial
How do you feel?

You're a train ride to no importance
You're in love with hell existence
Money is all that you desire
Why don't you pack it in and retire
It's common nature you can't fool me
I'm just the money that you can't let free
Rainy day genius clouds your mind
Don't you realize theblind lead the blind

You're anti, you're antisocial

ANTISOCIAL.....

It's time for your medication, Mr. Brown
Oohhoohahahahahahahahahaha

White coats to bind me, out of control
I live alone inside my mind
World of confusion, air filled with noise
Who says that my life's such a crime?

Trapped in this nightmare
I wish I'd wake
As my whole life begins to shake
Four walls surround me
An empty gaze
I can't find my way out of this maze

'Cause I don't care
Fall in, fall out
Gone without a doubt, help me
I can't take the blame
They don't feel the shame

It's a madhouse
Or so they claim
It's a madhouse
Oh, am I insane?

My fears behind me, what can I do
My dreams haunt my sleep at night
Oh no, won't learn their lesson, white fills my eyes
And only then, they see the light

Trapped in this nightmare
I wish I'd wake
As my whole life begins to shake
Four walls surround me
An empty gaze
I can't find my way out of this maze

'Cause I don't care
Fall in, fall out
Gone without a doubt, help me
I can't take the blame
They don't feel the shame

'Cause it's a madhouse
Or so they claim
It's a madhouse
I'm insane

Trapped in this nightmare
I wish I'd wake
As my whole life begins to shake
Four walls surround me
An empty gaze
I can't find my way out of this maze

'Cause I don't care
Fall in, fall out
Gone without a doubt, help me
I can't take the blame
They don't feel the shame

It's a madhouse
Or so they claim
It's a madhouse
I'm insane

Mad, madhouse
Mad, mad, mad, madhouse

I Am The Law

Fifteen years in the academy
He was like no cadet they'd ever seen
A man so hard, his veins bleed ice
And when he speaks he never says it twice
They call him Judge, his last name is Dredd
So break the law, and you wind up dead
Truth and justice are what he's fighting for
Judge Dredd the man, he is the law
DROKK IT!

With gun and bike he rules the streets
And every perp he meets will taste defeat
Not even Death can overcome his might
Cause Dredd and Anderson, they won the fight
When the Sov's started the Apocalypse war
Mega-City was bombed to the floor
Dredd resisted, and the judges fought back
Crushed the Sov's with their counter-attack
DROKK IT!

Respect the badge - he earned it with his blood
Fear the gun - your sentence may be death because...
Chorus

I AM THE LAW!
And you won't fuck around no more - I AM THE LAW
I judge the rich, I judge the poor - I AM THE LAW
Commit a crime I'll lock the door - I AM THE LAW
Because in Mega-City... I AM THE LAW

In the cursed earth where mutants dwell
There is no law, just a living hell
Anarchy and chaos as the blood runs red
But this would change if it was up to Dredd
The book of law is the bible to him
And any crime committed is a sin
He keeps the peace with his law-giver
Judge, jury, and executioner
DROKK IT!

CRIME - The ultimate sin
Your iso-cube is waiting when he brings you in
LAW - It's what he stands for
Crime's his only enemy and he's going to war

CRIME - The ultimate sin
Your ISO-cube is waiting when he brings you in
LAW - It's what he stands for
Crime's his only enemy and he's going to war
