Crash diet of reds’n'ludes
A shot of vitamin C and a bottle of booze
Too stupid to live with nothin’ to lose
In your one track mind now
Where’s that leave you?

Drink’n'drive white lightning faster baby
Takin’ your last ride
Now better be so careful or you’ll be dead before you time
Sorry you took mother’s car now

Tears in my eyes, baby please don’t go
You bet (?!) one too many, now one for the road
fresh outta detox, fresh from jail
Took your rehabilitation and you drove me to hell

Drink’n'drive white lightning faster
Takin’ your last ride
Better be so careful or you’ll be dead before your time
Sorry you took mohter’s car now

Too soon, you thought … ?!
Too late for the pressure and strain
Too bad for those who don’t believe it
Ruby street still calls your name

[guitar solo]

Itchy trigger finger and the race to be alive
Smokin’ a cig while you drink’n'drive
With no control in your life ahead
You’re never gonna see if you wind up dead

Drink’n'drive white lightning faster
Takin’ your last ride
Better be so careful or you’ll be dead before your time
Drink’n'drive white lightning baby
It’s always on your mind
Push or pull your limits baby, do it one more time
Break it down
Break it down
Somethin’’s changin’, somethin’’s breakin’
You gotta be a brother, ‘coz ?! your family
?!…. Oh make it
Sweet mystery, Ooohhhh
If you don’t care about yourself
Would you please leave me alive
Oooohhhh…
You gonna
You gonna drink’n'drive
Oooohhhhh, Yeeaaah

“What we’ve got here is failure to communicate.
Some men you just can’t reach…
So, you get what we had here last week,
which is the way he wants it!
Well, he gets it!
N’ I don’t like it any more than you men.” *

Look at your young men fighting
Look at your women crying
Look at your young men dying
The way they’ve always done before

Look at the hate we’re breeding
Look at the fear we’re feeding
Look at the lives we’re leading
The way we’ve always done before

My hands are tied
The billions shift from side to side
And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
For the love of God and our human rights
And all these things are swept aside
By bloody hands time can’t deny
And are washed away by your genocide
And history hides the lies of our civil wars

D’you wear a black armband
When they shot the man
Who said “Peace could last forever”
And in my first memories
They shot Kennedy
I went numb when I learned to see
So I never fell for Vietnam
We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all
That you can’t trust freedom
When it’s not in your hands
When everybody’s fightin’
For their promised land

And
I don’t need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
Your power hungry sellin’ soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain’t that fresh
I don’t need your civil war

Look at the shoes your filling
Look at the blood we’re spilling
Look at the world we’re killing
The way we’ve always done before
Look in the doubt we’ve wallowed
Look at the leaders we’ve followed
Look at the lies we’ve swallowed
And I don’t want to hear no more

My hands are tied
For all I’ve seen has changed my mind
But still the wars go on as the years go by
With no love of God or human rights
‘Cause all these dreams are swept aside
By bloody hands of the hypnotized
Who carry the cross of homicide
And history bears the scars of our civil wars

“We practice selective annihilation of mayors
And government officials
For example to create a vacuum
Then we fill that vacuum
As popular war advances
Peace is closer” **

I don’t need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
Your power hungry sellin’ soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain’t that fresh
And I don’t need your civil war
I don’t need your civil war
I don’t need your civil war
Your power hungry sellin’ soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain’t that fresh
I don’t need your civil war
I don’t need one more war

I don’t need one more war
Whaz so civil ’bout war anyway

It don’t really matter
You will find out for yourself
No, it don’t really matter
You’re gonna leave this thing to somebody else.

If they where missionaires
Real time visionaires
Sitting in a chinese school
To view my dis-in-fat-uation
I know that I’m a classic case
Watch my disenchanted face
Blame it on the Falun Gong
They’ve seen the end and you can’t hold on.

Cause it would take a lot more hate than you
To stop the fascination
Bigger than an iron fist
Our baby got to rule the nation
But all I got is precious time.

It don’t really matter
You’re gonna find out for yourself

No, it don’t really matter
So you can hear now from
Somebody else.

Cause it would take a lot more time than you
I’ve got more masturbation
Even with your iron fist
More than you got to rule the nation
What I got is precious time
More than you got to rule the nation
But all I got is precious time.

It don’t really matter
Gonna keep it to myself
No it don’t really matter
So you can hear it now from
Somebody else.

You think you got it all locked up inside
And if you beat them all up they’ll die
Then you’ll walk them home for the cells
Then now you’ll dig for your road back to hell
And with your luke warm blood makes you stop
As if your eyes were their eyes you can tell
In your lack of time.
