"Build Ramps, Not Bombs!"
 

7 Ply

I remember childhood back in the day,
skating ramp and listening to JFA
7 ply’s of aggression, teenage rebellion
I didn’t care about growing up or going to school
I just wanted to bomb a hill or skate a pool
7 ply’s of aggression, teenage rebellion
I look back on me and my friends the fun we had
no cares in the world just me and my board I want it back
7 ply’s of aggression, teenage rebellion
everyone around me says stop being a kid it time to grow up
I say fuck that skate to live ill never stop

Late Night Skate

GO!
home from work I’m late again my heads a fucking mess,
sometimes I find it hard to cope I gotta skate and its no joke
late night skate, thrash it up!
late night skate, drink ‘em down!
GO!
grab a beer and grab your board,
I’m home from work back out the door,
I got my board, my band, my friends,
that’s where its at
were true till death!
late night skate, thrash it up!
late night skate, drink em down!
let’s fucking go!

Can't Relate

GO!
refuse to believe that this is it, is this the reason why I exist?
stuck on repeat, wanna fall asleep
where’s my house my wife and kids,
I’m not greedy I just wanna live
I’m not sorry, but I can’t relate
bills to feed, mouths to pay,
jewel was right, but I have to say…………
don’t have the answers don’t get me wrong
but you know it kills me
to see it kill us all
stuck in traffic, feel so inadequate now
I’m sorry but I cant fucking relate

Circle Pit Love

baby, I don’t wanna make out, I just wanna circle pit

Pit Trilogy

I don’t wanna sit and talk and I don’t wanna play baseball
I don’t wanna hear the score, all that shit is such a bore
I wanna hear the music fast I wanna jump and yell and thrash
and then I’m gonna take a break and go back for a second take
I just wanna circle pit!
well I don’t wanna go to church
and I don’t wanna hear your lies
blind me with your fucking crosses,
blind by greed and dollar signs
I just wanna circle pit!
circle pits and horror flicks,
and b movies and skateboard decks
life is short, thrash real hard
your friends will help you off the floor

Theme Song

yeah were all friends, when were in the pit
got the same goals, same ideas, we know what’s right
hardcore to goth, punk, rock n roll
even emo kids, yeah they cry but, hey, it’s all right
don’t make me say unity, you’ve heard it all before
somehow the meanings lost, and left to die on the floor
we have a common enemy
your not fooling anyone but your fucking self

Note to Self

too many thoughts my minds a mess, over analyze in my head
pen and paper in my brain
the second guesses drive me insane
note to self, shut up!
my brains online frayed at both ends,
traffic jam inside my head
treading water to get by and all the time I’m wondering why
note to self, shut up!
and everyday, the fuse is getting shorter
and everyday life has me in
order and everyday I’m getting closer to death,
everyday is my chance!
note to self, shut up!

8 Bit

tetris, duck hunt, excite bike, I remember those long nights
8 bit armageddon
outta my way, I’m up next I gotta save the fucking princess
8 bit, Armageddon
N! E! S!
gritting teeth and my hands hurt, my eyes are strained
one more level wont hurt?

Build Ramps, Not Bombs!

build ramps, not bombs!
tear down the factories that create the weapons, replace them with halfpipes
and crazy sick sessions
build ramps, not bombs!
tired of living, in your world of shit,
I’d rather thrash, do something fun with it!
build ramps, not bombs!
doing what it takes to get thru my fucking day,
pave over and build
on top of what makes this world decay,
history left a playground of
concrete for us to shred,
so grab your fucking board and lets have a blast!
build ramps, not bombs!

Slash the Coping

into your backyard, from over your fence
calling the police wouldn’t make much sense
slash the coping
the water is drained, so we can skate
looks like the police showed up a little too late
slash the coping, then we split,
slash the coping it’s a pool attack!

Punks Dead, Your Next!

it’s not what u think it is, just another phase, I’m getting older
every day and I still feel the same,
wasn’t here in your heyday that’s not what its about,
get up front that’s all there is the time is fucking now
mainstream, rules, and ignorant kids have ruined it fucking all,
punk rock is on life support and I just wont let it fall
punks dead, you’re killing it, your next, ill see to it
its not what u think it is, just another phase,
I’m getting older everyday and I still feel the same,
wasn’t here in your heyday that’s not what its about,
get up front that’s all there is the time is fucking now!
its not about the T shirts, stop wasting your fucking time,
its not really worth it

The Argument

I could write this ballad a million fucking times,
but when I see your face
it makes me lose my fucking mind,
to think of all the stress u bring it makes
me want to kill, you gave me all the confidence in the world,
now u make me feel like shit
I feel like I’m at war, it’s the same argument,
get out of my fucking face, just let me leave this mess
my heart is in a cocktail, I’m gonna light the fuse,
get out of my fucking face
before I vomit on your shoes
I feel like I’m at war it’s the same argument,
get out of my fucking face, just let me leave this mess!
now its over! This time I’m serious!
Why do we put ourselves? Thru such shit!

Dead Alive

Dead Alive!
rat monkey bit into her arm,
now she’s dead but she’s not gone
they put her in the cemetery, thought she was dead and buried
now they’re dead, dead alive, you cant stop them, but u can try
now they’re dead, dead alive, they’ll just kill and multiply
Lionel’s mom ate Bakita’s dog, dead and rotting still alive
she got the nurse and then the priest,
now she needs more flesh to feast
now they’re dead, dead alive, you can’t stop them but u can try
now they’re dead, dead alive, they’ll just kill and multiply
surrounded by zombies, straps the mower on,
guts and limbs are everywhere,
blood splats on the wall, cuts them up one by one,
he wont stop until he’s done
wont stop until he’s done………..
Dead alive!
they’re all fucking dead!

It’s a Beautiful Day for Hardcore

Fast, For, Ever!
The timings off the feedback blasts,
and I just wanna play it fast, im gonna
Have a good time and enjoy it while it fucking lasts cuz…….
Were not here to impress,
we might need some more practice, u can criticize
Us all u want, well be at a show if u need us
Because this is what’s important to me,
playing these songs and living happy,
With energy, communicate,
you don’t have to listen to what I say cuz…….
Were not here to impress,
we might need some more practice, you can criticize
Us all u want, well be at a show if u need us!
When were thru, its not done!
Were just passing thru, there’s more to come!

Paralyzed

couple parked in a car, up on skyline drive,
wanted to make out, picked the wrong fucking night
paralyzed by the dashboard light
madman in the shadows all whacked out on speed,
comes across the lovers
wants to make them bleed
paralyzed by the dashboard light
they were barely 17 and they were barely dressed,
when they find them tomorrow they’ll be a bloody mess!
Too cheap to get a hotel room now they’re in a world of shit!

Prayer for Profit

see the preacher on TV,
he is telling lies to me he says my soul will be
set free as long as I pay a nominal fee
evangelists with dollar signs in their eyes,
speak the word of god, they’re telling lies,
they’re ripping off, the elderly,
its prayer for profit, on your TV
believe in god and the word he speaks,
empty your pockets at least once a week,
collection plate comes better make a donation
pay thru your teeth for eternal salvation
evangelists with dollar signs in they’re eyes,
speak the word of god, they’re telling lies,
they’re ripping off, the elderly,
its prayer for profit, on your TV
make your checks to Jesus Christ,
installment plan for the afterlife
jesus saves all those who ask as long as u have got the cash

Wheelbite

Seems like it was over, right after it began,
I had it fucking figured out
And now I’m pounding sand
Wheelbite! It always never seems to fail
Wheelbite! Drag my feet thru the gravel
What happened? Another dead end?
Torn between my options and the Walls are closing in
Wheelbite! It always never seems to fail
Wheelbite! Drag my feet thru the gravel
I cant seem to get out of this, make me want to kill
Stuck here in this don’t move my minds like a padded cell
Cant get ahead stuck here fuck this I’m running out of time
I cant seem to get out of this and this life is mine!
This life is mine!
If this is a test, and only a test,
I know the fucking answers but I cant
Fill out the rest, and maybe,
I complain a bit too much, but I’m not
Gonna waste my time and dig myself a rut 1
