1.Close Minded
One, Two, Three, Four
Everyone tells me I'm close minded
Why don't you listen to this, you might like it
Everyone tells me I'm close minded
You're some hypocrite if you say you don't buy it
Everyone tells me I'm close minded
I'll tell you right now that I'm never gonna try it
Everyone tells me I'm close minded
Give me what I want or there's gonna be a riot
What am I to do
Close-minded
What am I to do
Close-minded
Everyone tells me I'm close minded
Make no mistake, there's no compromise
Everyone tells me I'm close minded
Just try and see it through my eyes
Everyone tells me I'm close minded
I'll tell ya one more time that ya better keep quiet
Everyone tells me I'm close minded
If it's not punk rock, I'm never gonna like it
What am I to do
Close-minded
What am I to do
Close-minded
You know, everybodies always saying 'You're really close minded.
You only listen to one type of music, you only go to one type of
show.' And I say 'Well you know what, this is the type of music
we grew up on, this is the type of music we play. Punk rock is
our way of life. It's how we chose to live. And everyone elses
opinion is worth nothing. Don't worry about what I listen to,
worry about your own life. Because I'm not going to change for
you or anyone. I can't help it if you don't like it, and it's
upto me if I don't want to listen to anything else. It's what's
in our blood, it flows through our veins, so save your breath
'coz we're here to stay!!
Everyone tells me I'm close minded

Everyone tells me I'm close minded
You're some hypocrite if ya say you don't buy it
Everyone tells me I'm close minded
I'll tell you right now that I'm never gonna try it
Everyone tells me I'm close minded

2.Wipe The Slate Clean
You and I are both the same
We dared to play each other's game
Now there's no turning back
I just don't think like that
Wipe the slate clean and start again
Decide what is real and what is pretend
Wipe the slate clean and start again
Decide what it's worth or just let it end
I let it go right to my head
Thinking of the things that you said
Now I just can't seem to forget
What caused you to go astray？
I tightened my grip, and you pulled away
Just another brick to lay
Within this house of pain
Wipe the slate clean and start again
Decide what is real and what is pretend
Wipe the slate clean and start again
Decide what it's worth or just let it end
I let it go right to my head
Thinking of the things that you said
Now I just can't seem to forget
Can I find a way to forgive？
I just can't forget
3.Beggars And Gentry
Beggars and gentry, give 'em all an entry
Dying for a pass to your timeless affair
Make a concession, ignore their transgressions
Raising a glass, they're unaware
So drink down that sloe gin fizz and plan your next vacation
Your petty life turned into one financial saturation
Salivate while you berate the younger generation
And if you're smart, you'll never look to them for consolation
Beggars and gentry, give 'em all entry
Dying for a pass to your timeless affair
Make a concession, ignore their transgressions
Raising a glass, they're unaware
You broke the dreams of others to meet your aspirations
I guess in some demented way, you deserve congratulations
Built a modest fortune on greed and subjugation
What I would do if I were you is hide your face from me
I know what you're all about
Beggars and gentry, give 'em all entry
Dying for a pass to your timeless affair
Make a concession, ignore their transgressions
Raising a glass, they're unaware
So don't sit there and tell me you're such an inspiration
You're a fake because it takes hard work and dedication
It makes me sick, the thought of it - your filthy exploitation
What I would do if I were you is hide your face from me
4.Don't Sound The Alarm
There are secrets we hide
We lock away, we keep inside
There are secrets that
We can never let show
There are things that we say,
Things that we do, and we don't know why
There are some things that
We just have to let go
Don't sound the alarm
Don't give us away
Between you and I
Is where it should stay
I won't confide
I won't give in, I won't defy
I won't break down and
I will not expose
No, I won't betray, I've got to stay true
If I want to survive
I, under pressure
Will not be disclosed
Don't sound the alarm
Don't give us away
Between you and I
Is where it should stay
There are secrets we hide
We lock away, we keep inside
There are secrets that
We can never let show
There are things that we say,
Things that we do, and we don't know why
There are some things that
We just have to let go
5.Effigy
If they came and took away
Everything you are today
Could you find another way
All my feelings undermined
Urged to follow strict design
And I won't cross that line
Just an effigy
What I used to be
And everything that seemed real
Was just a dream
Will you side with faith or fear？
Try to save all that's dear
They might scream, but I can't hear
I've got my own cross to bare
I've still got reason to care
And in the end, I'm no worse for wear
Just an effigy
What I used to be
And everything that seems real
Is just a dream
Will you side with faith or fear？
Try to save all that's dear
Will you side with faith or fear？
Try to save all that is dear
Just an effigy
What I used to be
And everything that seems real
Is just a dream
6.No Compromise
Who are you and what does it mean
To brand yourself part of an underground scene？
Without the passion, you've sold your soul
To gain some measure of control
Somehow it seems that the point was missed
The power's in your head, not in your fists
Over the years
We had to rise
We did it our way
There was no compromise
Countless others have come and gone
They make some noise and they move right along
It's not an image that we are portraying
It's not a game that other's like playing
We'll never break and we're not going to bend
This is one message for us to send
Over the years
We had to rise
We did it our way
There was no compromise
7.Now I Bleed
You don't know me, know me at all
First I crumble, then I fall away：betrayed
You can't see, you're mesmerized
Too stubborn to compromise：I stay today
You had me believe
I never thought that you would leave
And now I bleed
I've got a sneaky suspicion I'm not your first
It's intuition and someone's been cursed - it only gets worse
Can't you see what's happening？
I'd have given anything to you - you know it's true
You had me believe
I never thought that you would leave
And now I bleed
There's nothing more that I can do
You're not the friend that I once knew
You don't know me, know me at all
First I crumble, then I fall away, away
You had me believe
I never thought that you would leave
And now I bleed
8.Try
I know a kid who is out of control
Took too many drugs, and it stole his soul
Sitting on the porch watching days and years fly by
Something needs to change, but he won't even try
As he sits and lets his body rot
I want to teach him things that I've been taught
Judging by the pale color of his skin
It may be too late for this to sink in
It doesn't matter what he has done
It doesn't matter what is said
I'll always be his friend
Even when he is dead
I know a kid who is out of control
Took too many drugs, and it stole his soul
Sitting on the porch watching days and years fly by
Something needs to change, but he won't even try
9.Predictable
I already know what you're gonna say
I already know the things you're gonna do
Somehow I know how the story ends
I've been here before and it's happened again
Can't seem to break out of this trend
Just a little more than frustration
My private hell, eternal damnation
So tired and so bored, it's the same every day
Something's gotta change
I already know what you're gonna say
I already know the things you're gonna do
Somehow I know how the story ends
An open book with worn out pages
The shallow look on your face
Says that there is no destination
It comes as no revelation
So tired and so bored, it's the same every day
Something's gotta change
I already know what you're gonna say
I already know the things you're gonna do
Somehow I know how the story ends
So predictable, you're so predictable
Predictable, you're not original
I already know what you're gonna say
I already know the things you're gonna do
Somehow I know how the story ends
10.Searching For Sluggo
Looking for a friend from years ago
He used to come with us to every show
Always had the time to hang with us
We knew he was someone we could trust
Where has he gone, where has he been
I just can't stop wondering
I would dive in the crowd, and he would pull me out
If the club wouldn't pay, he'd scream and shout
Making sure we were at the shows on time
If you came late, you were left behind
Where has he gone, where has he been
I just can't stop wondering
I'm looking for someone I used to know：I need to know
I'm looking for someone from long ago：I need to know
Where has he gone, where has he been
What has he done, I need to know
So I can find my piece of mind
I need to know so I can stop wondering
11.The Problem Is You
I've got a list of things that you put me through
I place the blame, you feel no shame for what you do
You like to think of me simply as a machine
And when it's over, you are the one to lose
I've got a clue
The problem is you
Not hard to choose
Hard to believe that anything you say is true
You're not worth listening to, there's nothing left to prove
You can't earn back the trust you take, lying was your first
mistake
Now that it's over, you and I are through
I've got a clue
The problem is you
Not hard to choose
It's hard to believe that anything you say is true
You're not worth listening to, there's nothing left to prove
You can't earn back the trust you take, lying was your first
mistake
Now that it's over, you and I are through
12.Lighting The Fuse
We still have hope that the world is going to change
And all the violence will somehow fade away
And I'm gonna bet that tomorrow is just like the rest
So here it goes once again, we are put to the test
Turn on the news, lighting the fuse
Watching the world just burn
We still have hope that the world will be a better place
Never to be judged by the color of your face
We know that you've heard this a thousand times before
But this is a struggle we can't ignore
Turn on the news, lighting the fuse
Watching the world just burn
I'm gonna sit and watch it burn
I said I'm gonna sit and watch it burn
I'm gonna sit and watch it burn
I said I'm gonna sit and watch it burn
I'm gonna sit and watch it burn
I said I'm gonna sit and watch it burn
I'm gonna sit and watch it burn
I said I'm gonna sit and watch it fucking burn!
13.From Father To Son

comments. i'll fucking tell you anything i wanna tell ya; if you
were in front of me right now i'd smack ya. don't tell me about
a hard day, cause you dont even know what a hard day is you
