(Skatenigs)
“Can you turn the sound up?”
“How much?”
[scratches]
“How much do you need to get the job done?”
“How much?”
Words, ain’t nothing, unless you’ve got something to say
The meaning has no truth, unless a price is paid
Feelings aren’t really felt, unless a point is made
This message is my own; no one can take it away
Take it, leave it, buy it, steal it!
Think for yourself, it might improve the way you’re feelin’
Shut up and listen!
“He uses words, as a weapon. He hits people over the head with it.” *
Shut up and listen!
“I wanna caution you right now, young man. If you repeat any of this language, any of these words, you’ll take the consequences. Is that clear?” *
The P.M.R.C. would like to hold me, control me
Refrain my right to speak ’cause it caught up in a system
No reality, I’d rather say it like I mean it
It comes across you weak, what means one thing to someone may not mean the same to me!
Take it, leave it, buy it, steal it!
Think for yourself, it might improve the way you’re feelin’
Shut up and listen!
“He uses words, as weapon. He hits people over the head with it.” *
Shut up and listen!
“Ladies and gentlemen, this man is under arrest.”
“I’m gonna need to find you guilty right now. Court adjourned!” *
“Free speech isn’t really free at all! It’s like a three ring circus.”
“This business is usual.” *
Fear, we need it, to keep our souls alive
Garbage, I can smell it, hidden in denial
Now I’m diggin’ in it, don’t you know I hate it, waitin’ hesitatin’!
Get in the way I feel, get real, get some fresh air; open up the window sile!
Take it, leave it, buy it, steal it!
Think for yourself, it might improve the way you’re feelin’
Shut up and listen!
“He uses words, as weapon. He hits people over the head with it.” *
Shut up and listen!
[3:48 – guitar solos]
Words, ain’t nothing, unless you’ve got something to say
The meaning has no truth, unless a price is paid
Feelings aren’t really felt, unless a point is made
This message is my own; no one can take it away
