Frack Off 02:38
the people on the beaches are spelling out the words / there’s no fracking way they’re gonna do this to our earth / polluting our ground water and dredging up the reef / they’re lining their own pockets and filling ours with grief / digging a hole / for some dirty old coal (frack, frack, frack, frack off dirty coal) / it’s like a swiss cheese roll / for a short term goal / they’re mining our resources as far as you can see / another billion dollars for the mining company / renewable resources is what we fracking need /people before profits / to end the corporate greed! / lock the fuckin gate! / frack off! / dirty coal! / aquifer! / arable land! / you can’t eat coal! / you can’t drink gas!

I like the night / I like the star light / over the city lights / burning so bright / I like the night when my baby’s driving in my car / cruising past midnight looking for a bar / going out and drinking out till 4am / getting up the next day can we do it again? / I like the night / I like the city lights / I like the night / I like the night / I like the star light / under the satellite / burning so bright / I like the right to go walking down the city streets / doing what I want and wearing what I please / moshing in the front row till 4am / waking up the next day can we do it again?

well there’s a tale from the USA / about a girl who finally got her own way / pulled from the streets like so many before / you know the stats, it’s one in four / she fought for hours kept her senses awake / his mind was dull just wanted to rape / he passed out drunk on the kitchen floor / she saw her chance, there’ll never be one more / well you know what, what happens next / the girl she struggled, struggled free / she got the idea for a recipe / revenge served hot, instantly / she grabbed the gun from the counter top / and grabbed the knife from the washing up / the most important meal of her life / she cut his junk off with a steak knife / AAAAAAAHHHH!!! OH!!! NO!!!! FUCK YOU!!!! / “I threw that bastards junk in the microwave, grabbed a plate, a steak knife and fork and cut it up like a hotdog. I grabbed a gun from the kitchen counter and force him to eat. I have no remorse and I’m not sorry. that bastard deserved it and he’s going to hell” / she put his junk in the microwave / she turned it on, served it hot with some hate / she cut it up, fork knife and plate / pointing his gun, made him eat that rape /she put his junk in the microwave / she served his junk from the microwave / she put his junk in the microwave / revenge served hot from the microwave!

Abort 02:40
put him on a boat / send him back to where he came from / spewing from his mouth / rubbish so absurd / send him back to school / get a better education / cruelty and hate won’t fix the world / send him back undo his birth / ABORT! ABORT! ABORT! / send him to a womb / get a probe and menstruate him / pussy grabbing lunatic won’t rule the world / find the mutant gene and change the combination / sexist rants / change him to a girl! / send him back undo his birth / ABORT! ABORT! ABORT! / send him back to fucking birth / ABORT! ABORT! ABORT!

In Leather 02:59
well there’s been one thing that’s been with me, since the dawn of time / black and leather, warm and weathered dead cow hide / like a piece of armour, always on my back / I’m the one they warned you ‘bout dressed in black / a symbol of a rebel with a misspent youth / Jimmy, Joan and Suzie if you want some proof / wear it when you’re young, wear it when you’re old it’s the universal uniform of rock’n’roll / my leather….. / there’s been many dressed in leather that come to mind / Elvis on his comeback, back in 68 / Johnny, Sid, the Fonz and all of the Ramones / start a revolution, and played some rock’n’roll! / in leather, in leather, in leather/ worn to be wild / not for some style / yeah! / well as I walk the streets of my town I see it all the time / shops all filled with pleather for the ethically blind / throw away fast fashion headed for landfill / watered down rebellion just another fashion road kill
7.
well the black dog’s on my back / this hole is getting deeper / the whole world’s on my shoulders and I just can’t shake it off / scowl across my face / losing the human race / keep it all together nothing seems to satisfy / I’ve got a hole in my heart / and it’s tearing me apart / got to make a new start, start, start / got a hole in my heart / I’ve got a bad reputation all across the nation / people think I’m cranky but it’s really just my face / let it out and scream this demon out of me / beer would make it better but some days it’s not enough / 1,2,3,4 / I just can’t seem to fill it up / oh yeah I’m bleeding / I’m seething
8.
when you’re feeling sick of all the ego and greed / it’s fight or flight / in a dead end job that gives you nothing you need / it’s fight or flight / standing at the crossroads, backs against the wall / oh we gotta make a stand, we got to make a call / this is where the line is drawn / it’s fight or flight / if you feel like giving up and running away / it’s fight or flight / you think you got no power, you think you got no say / it’s fight or flight / sick of waiting for a saviour who’s gonna change it all / we’ve gotta make a stand, we’ve gotta make a call / this is where the line is drawn / it’s fight or flight / the world is going backwards, repeating history / it’s fight or flight / but there’s an army of us in solidarity / it’s fight or flight / you got to make a stand / you gotta make a call / ask yourself the question / do you want something more? / armchair politician you gotta use your feet / we’re going to stand up and fight, c’mon, yeah! / it’s fight or flight / we’re gonna fight!

Rainbow 02:22
no one gets outta here alive / and we don’t know what’s on the other side / don’t sweat the small stuff, life’s too short / it’s a privilege not a guarantee / meet you at the end of the rainbow / at the end of the rainbow / where we can meet for one last drink / even the toughest don’t survive / and we don’t know the roll of the dice / life has its limits, no one rides for free / we’re all killed by death in the end / see you at the end of the rainbow / at the end of the rainbow / where we can meet for one last drink / at the end of it all / the life that’s in me / is part of the dust that we are / the iron in our blood / the carbon in genes / formed from the heart of a star
