I could have killed the teachers who treated me like a mug If I had known the rights of a juvenile thug What a great right it was But I've just missed the bus Because of his likeness they hide the Focus But they revealed the victim's secret and a dove's carcass How can he fix his life? Do they think he'll be revised? If you want to kill someone or have a scheme You'll get off free if you're under sixteen He said that murder is so much fun he said that murder is so much fun So get it while you can......Now!

Young bloods're singing in the days of chaos And burst into flames and to cosmos You can get the tattoo off your chest But you can't lay your statements to rest We're never gonna die That's your battle cry Young bloods, your flag flies Now your flag is flying high There's a saying 'Let's break the law' But all you can do is be drunk as a sow Break out of your cage but you don't know what to do Through the ages you don't have a clue We're never gonna die That's your battle cry Young bloods, your flag flies Now your flag is flying high It scares the shit out of me You're just like a good looking girl Who can't even cooking in the sleazy world Your only care is what you wear tonight You're changing your view with your style We're never gonna die That's your battle cry Young bloods, your flag flies Now your flag is flying high It scares the shit out of me

Useless wisdom that you've had Limited freedom is given by your mum and dad You ain't no friends of mine Without you I'll be fine Students Students This is not for your movement Students Students Your tale was all spent I'm still standing here It's been twelve years My days of junior high That you passed by You ain't no friends of mine Without you I'll be fine Students Students This is not for your movement Students Students Your tale was all spent Study study study hard! You you you you just cowards!

People hate the ghost of the Nazi-salute But even they need the Absolute They're saying things're going wrong And they ask me whose side am I on Bullshitters & Asskissers x 4 times From the cradle to the grave they've been told About the fear of being blackballed Kiss someone's arse they learnt it in school Asking for help and delight to be ruled Bullshitters & Asskissers x 4 times Bullshitter tells me wave no flag of my own Asskissers want us to be their bleeding pawn I'll kick the shit of of'em they make us sick I'll kick'em the way DeNiro kicks Rally around the flag, scumbag x 4 times

There were so many things I wanted to know Now I don't want to take bullshit anymore I've got nothing but lousy jobs There are geezers who treat me like a slob When I was 16 I had never been employed But my dream has never been destroyed No one wants to know what's going on I really want to be back whre I belong As soon as I awake I have a goddamn headache I've been getting no important things to do Throughout the lost decade I don't have my say for the Q.C. I want to watch baseball on TV I don't want to work all through the night I want a ringside ticket for the Pancrase fight As soon as I awake I have a goddamn headache I've been getting no important things to do Throughout the lost decade I am bound to have my way Fix my mind on a sunny day I don't care what they say And celeblate the lost decade

I've been gazing at sea, still sitting in the place I belong I see people board a phantom ship that once sank to perdition I can hear the roar of the waves and the bottom of the ship has been staved They're gonna raise cain. the same old shit starts again The crew of a wrecked ship, I didn't care that they returned But people think they have fame and fortune to burn You've got to know where the ship steered for The ship was not sank by a storm No fame and fortune in a wrecked ship of the past The ship is bleeding cussed The ship goes down bow first before they navigate the ship goes down bow first It's just like 1988 I've been gazing at the scene I see no one knows the right from the wrong the tides have a swift flow I've got to know what's going on I've been gazing at the tides come in and out They're the sick counterfeit louts Without a stop I've beeen on a cruise So I can be a witness to the truth The ship goes down bow first before they navigate the ship goes down bow first It's just like 1988

If they take your pleasure away from you You have a right to have a good time You don't get put down If they take your freedom away from you Do your duty to yourself You've got to fight'em down to the ground Unite to get freedom that lasts forever And shout to them_ Union gives strength There're wankers who're the kind That's bullying the weak in the groupmind They've got eyes for quantity They've got no eyes for quality Do you get at the truth? What's the trueforce? Just look about you Yep, you've got to fight even when you're all alone That's what you've got to do There's no time to hold your tongue Make sure of yourself And we're chanting to you Union gives strength

The passion of youth, it's just a blast How long will this empty glory last You're always looking for a cause for a fuss Any pastime will do, Up yer ass J-League supporters Out! Out! We are gonna outstare you Even if your heart's aflame You don't give a shit about the football game J-League is showy and's up-to-date Where will you go when the wind bates J-League supporters Out! Out! We are gonna outstare you All you know about is things that're skin deep I don't give a shit about what is hip Offside... the ball bounced out of bounds Awful chant is ringing the football ground J-League supporters Out! Out! We are gonna outstare you

Things are getting worse with every single day But the people will say it's gonna be okay Someone shook my bed, it was 5:46 AM To make things worse, there's A.U.M. Not gonna give up Not gonna give up The crack of doom is ringing my ear Not gonna give up Not gonna give up Stay where I am, 3 more years I really know the end is coming soon But all I could do was stare at the moon Not gonna give up Not gonna give up The crack of doom is ringing my ear Not gonna give up Not gonna give up Stay where I am, 3 more years Things are getting worse Things are getting tough But they say it's a feeling they used to have

Working 40 hours a week At least I got to take a leak The sound of the alarm cuts me like a knife The clock ticks away my life Watching ball games on the telly Sitting on a box seat of Sun TV Going out on every friday night In braces and boots that're shining bright We're the blokes, looking for fun Problems got to be solved one by one We ain't gonna run 'cos job's undone And all we're thinking is How To Be A Man We all stand clear with cropped hair we don't care if you stare Mindless violence Meaningless brawls It's a struggle to face the writing on the wall Need no Birbie Dolls or alcohols Need more fare-thee-well rock'n'roll We're the lads who're dressed to kill It's not for a fashion, Have an iron will It ain't no good for people like you The truth only hurts a fool

Everyone's got some kind of tools No one's got clear personal rules They're rebels without a cause Smelling around for a two-week pose Everyone's talking about uinon Play the bully, they think they have won They're rebels without a cause They never cease til they dance on a rope Their utopia will come to smash But they don't really give a damn They do nothing but make love It wasn't union, goddamn club Everyone's got some kind of tools No one's got clear personal rules We're rebels with a cause And we'll show you our Trueforce

I felt the tradition in the ivy foliage Vertical stripes are bright and shine in the turf Don't turn your eyes away whatever they do Feel the cheers of our fathers, ringing whole terraces And Rokko winds blowing down at the Alps terraces Won't turn my eyes away whatever they go When the wind's blowing down Mt. Rokko We'll be the player that's 10th on the Alps terraces We'll get the Giants at our feet Young Tigers are on the verge of explosion 'Cos they'll be the dynamites It's just a restoration See thousands of Jet Baloons flying away Only they know which way we must go We'll be the player that's 10th on the Alps terraces We'll get the Giants at our feet Fuck the unrivalled champion, we know they win and lose We'll never quit and we're here to get the pennant race Won't turn my eyes away whatever they go When the wind's blowing down Mt. Rokko We'll be the player that's 10th on the Alps terraces We'll get the Giants at our feet
