Voodoo Glow Skulls

He's jumped on the one way track
And there ain't no coming back
Should have thought before you leapt
Now you're on a crusade to avoid your death
The second time through you've gotta go feet first
Just remember to hold your breath

They always come back

After the storm you'd better hold on tight
Because you never know when you'll have to fight

Get on the good foot and stay in check
Because in the end they always come back

They always come back

He's jumped on the one way track
And there ain't no coming back
Should have thought before you leapt
Because in the end they always come back

What's the matter with the kid's today
Is there something wrong with what they're saying?
No one wants to listen does anyone have time
Everything is veiled in a cheap disguise
Kids are shooting kids on the news today
And if you ask me I'm not surprised
Look what they've created, a monster by the age of five

Poor Johnny, he's crazy
Has problems you can see
Don't worry be happy
Now tell us what you see
They don't listen, no problem!
Homegrown from society
Just like me!



Keep spreading your destiny
And they'll follow your mediocrity
Tell the kids a bedtime story about what life should be
When you embrace life with broken arms
And their truth can't set it free
Brought up with resistance
Condemn the world for being me!

Are you ready for the fall?
When you're not prepared for the world at all
You thought you had it all!

Hello, the Voodoo Glow Skulls represent the
Singers of the Now I'm popular' skacore genre.
The brothers three, Frank, Eddie, George,
And who can forget Jerry and the other two guys?
Normally I'd say, Take that God damn drop on
And cram it up your two tone ass.
But not in this case, it's good, it's really good.
And my name isn't Marty. Back to you Frank.
Now that the whole third wave is gone,
It's time for us to carry on.
We took a break and stayed away,
Now we've got a lot of things to say.
Don't give a fuck about your scene,
Because everybody already thinks we're mean.
We'll take the credit and wear the shoes,
For starting shit back in '92.
We're back!
We're back and on the attack!!
We're back!
We've talked the talk and walked the walk,
We've set the pace for metalliska.
Mock us, mock us, if you can,
Because we don't play like other bands.
We like our fans to be nice and clean,
Underage and about sixteen.
All you burn outs stay away,
Tell your mom I'm running late.
You'd better be prepared for judgment day,
We know where you'll be found.
You'd better be prepared for judgment day,
Because it's starting now
I told you! It's amazingly not bad with at least
Respectable news from Riverside, California.
Even though you can't see me, I'm skanking!
Skanking, skanking! I'm diggin' it!
Back to you Francisco.
We stake our claim and claim no fame,
We think skacore's pretty lame,
Some one make it go away,
Let's not mention any names.
Wanna hear our final thought?
We think all of you should get lost.
And if you think we're really playing...
We'll introduce you to our friend Wayne.
We're back!
We're back and on the attack!!
We're back!
We're back and on the attack!!
We're back!
We're back and on the attack!!
We're back!
You'd better be prepared for judgment day,
We know where you'll be found.
You'd better be prepared for judgment day,
Because it's starting now
Now!
Frank. Frank, Frank?

I crashed in the jungle while trying to keep a date
With my little girl who was back in the States
I was stranded in the jungle, afraid, alone
Trying to figure a way to get a message back home
But how was I to know that the wreckage of my plane
Had been picked up and spotted and my girl in Lover's Lane

Meanwhile, back in the States


Baby, baby, let's make romance
You know your old-time lover hasn't got a chance
He's stranded in the jungle, sad as he can be
So come on pretty baby, just you and me


Meanwhile, back in the jungle


The boys in the jungle had me on the run
When something heavy hit me like an atomic bomb
When I woke up and my head started to clear
I had a strange feeling I was cooking gear
I smelled something cooking and I looked to see
That's when I found out they was cookin' me
Ooga booga, lemme outta here!


Meanwhile, back in the States


Baby, baby, let's make romance
You know your old-time lover hasn't got a chance


He's stranded in the jungle sad as he can be
So come on pretty baby just you and me


Meanwhile, back in the jungle


I jumped out of the pot, I finally got away
I was frantic, worried about what my baby would say
So I jumped in the ocean and started to swim
My chance of surviving was gettin' slim
So I thumbed down a whale that was headed my way
And I reached the States in about half a day
When I got to Lover's Lane I was almost dead
Heard him talkin' to my baby, and this is what he said


Baby, baby, the man's no good
Baby, baby, should have understood
You can trust me just as long as you please
So come back pretty baby where you used to be
Cause I love you (I love you, I love you, you're fine baby)
Cause I love you (So damn fine)
Cause I love you (I got a job; I have money too)
Cause I love you (Did I show you my vehicle)
Cause I love you (I'll take you for a ride)
Cause I love you

My blood is really boiling
And I've got fire in my eyes
There is no compromising
Once we get outside

The buttons have been pushed
And all systems are go
He's going to pay the price
With all four of his eyes

I just hit a guy with glasses
Would you hit a guy with glasses?

Will someone please explain to me
Who made that wacky rule
If you hit a guy with glasses
You won't look very cool

The science club is pissed and they are after me
They want compensation for the optometry

There's a riot in the street
And no one seems to care
The kids are all at home
They're glued to their TVs

Revolution now, now I don't got time
I've got to meet my friends
They're at the bar waiting for me

Try run me out of my neighborhood
If I don't comply I'm just no good
I'll just spend my whole life misunderstood

There's a war outside my head
And it wants to get inside
Life could be so easy
I always try to let things slide

I can't decide if I should join the team
Or watch the world run dry
Try to keep my head up
Problems, you have yours and I got mine

Born in the middle of an urban war
Staying out later than the street lights
In the days of ancient man
They had to fight to survive because they had no plan

The hieroglyphics on the walls, they tell it all
The hieroglyphics on the walls, they tell it all
The hieroglyphics on the walls, they tell it all

Everyday waking up in the same room
With six younger siblings who look up to you
Not knowing where this day will take you
Where are you going to run to, you don't know

Treating everyday like it were you're last one
Having nothing in common with the outside world
The only way to reach them is to spray it on the walls
Because no one listens to your calls

From the part of town where no one wants to go
Surrounded by a border that isn't even there
Living in a place where there's no regards for the law
Read the story, it's tagged up on the walls

That was just for you now who's telling who?
What ever step you take do you feel yourself falling?
Grasping for that handrail that's leading you nowhere
Parental guidance gone well, it's just another delinquent song

How many times do you have to be told
When you're crossing someone else's line
Just because you don't see things the same as the next guy
It ain't your job to try

I think we're gonna say it's apathetic
What are you striving for is it simple satisfaction
If you make the wrong decision
You might hurt someone else

We've all got equal opportunities
We're all standing on this common ground
And if we try to walk the same path together
Sooner or later someone will fall astray

Go, go, go, go
Go, go, go, go

How many times do you have to be told
When you're crossing someone else's line
Just because you don't see things the same as the next guy
It ain't your job to try

How many times do you have to be told
When you're crossing someone else's line
Just because you don't see things the same as the next guy
It ain't your job to try

Go, go, go, go
Go, go, go, go
Go, go, go, go

Hey it's time to dance with danger
Hey put on your best wrinkled suit
It's time to set the night on fire
The night is looking young and so am I

Hey we're going to defy the law
Hey going to paint this time tonight
I've got all the special motions
That make all the willing pretty ladies wild

No, won't take that for an answer
No, I can't wait all night for you

Hey out on the crowed dance floor
Hey I'm always on cloud 9
No one wants to step to this muchacho
Some call me the bastard's son

Hey let's crash my big black caddy
Hey let's drive through your backyard
I've got the pedal to the medal
Don't give me attitude 'cuz I was born to be wild

The band with glasses and hard looks
Has got you down in their black book
Computerized, the crust elite
Don't need the smell of mission street

Have your cake and eat it too
With fellow scum that worship you
When you choke on our black smoke
No one will be there for your rescue

Your fake representation
Shows right through your rotting skin
The only ones you're fooling
Are the imbeciles ones you're fooling
Are the imbeciles who think like you

You probe us with your jealousy
Your anger gives us the defeat
We'll keep walking separate ways
Until someday, again we meet

The band geek mafia all unite
As we watch you fade away
And on your gravestone we

On parole since the age of eighteen
Made his mark on society
Found him in the wrong territory
He was left for dead

Used to be such a precious young thing
But got caught up in some mixed up things
Took a bullet to the head
Now he's left for dead

Dreams were set for momma's pride and joy
Don't forget daddy's little boy
Now, look and see know what you've done
Now, you're left for dead

She was raised on a country farm
Not with needles in her arms
She lived to fast and died too young
She was left for dead

> Coming up from a sublevel known as the underground,
Kept it real and developed our own sound.
Didn't listen to no one else but ourselves,
Next thing you know, we've got records on the shelf.
On the shelf.
First things first, we get people to listen,
Understand this, we give them what they're missing.
Where they come from? I don't know,
But they stand in front of us and watch us glow.
They'll hear us drop in!
Drop in!
Well, I've been to the east and I'm from the west,
I've rocked my songs and I represent.
People think they're down when I come around,
They wait for years just to hear our sound.
No boast, no brag about herb we don't got,
What's up dawg? I don't want to get shot.
When the sun is shining and I'm about to get caught.
They'll hear us drop in!
They'll hear us drop in!
They'll hear us drop in!
Drop in!
Who's gonna give it up? I'm not gonna give it up.
You're not gonna tell me I'm done.
Who's gonna give it up? I'm not gonna give it up.
When I pay for my TV, cars and my dream.
I'm not gonna give it up.
They'll hear us drop in!
They'll hear us drop in!
They'll hear us drop in!
Drop in!
Go!
We won't be stayin'.
We won't be stayin'.
We won't be stayin'.
Drop in.
We won't be stayin'.
We won't be stayin'.
We won't be stayin'.
Drop in.

my girl she supports me and that's not supposed to be
when she starts to fight with me she knows that I can't win
sometimes she believes in me and gives me a big kiss
then, sometimes she doesn't I start to get real pissed

I wrote her this love letter
but she don't know how to read
I wrote her this love letter
but she don't know how to read

it happens once a month we get into a fight
arguing in circles and not knowing who's wrong or right
tempers start flaring and articles start to fly
she has all her friends convinced that I'm a crazy guy

I wrote her this love letter
but she don't know how to read
I wrote her this love letter
but she don't know how to read
I wrote her this love letter
but she don't know how to read
I wrote her this love letter
but she don't know how to read

when it's time to walk alone-
the feeling hits me in the place
that place that only she can touch
not just any pretty face
when it's time to walk alone-
the feeling hits me in the place
that place that only she can touch
not just any pretty face

she's a queen and doesn't even know this
ruling that kingdom in my heart
when I'm gone and running with the devil
she'll be at home waiting patiently

I wrote her this love letter
but she don't know how to read
I wrote her this love letter
but she don't know how to read
I wrote her this love letter
but she don't know how to read
I wrote her this love letter
but she don't know how to read
but she don't know how to read
but she don't know how to read
but she don't know how to read
but she don't know how to read

There's something in the air
Something that i can't place
A taste that I can't smell
A smell that I can't taste

I'm walking in circles
Trying to find the way
The path that I've chosen
Has stops along the way

(Chorus)

I'm out of line...
I'm out of place...
I can't control my mind...
Loss of power and all the time...
When your actions have no bind...
Suffocate and try to find...

Who took my convenience
That I have everyday
Someone give me a slogan
Because I deserve a break today

I'll stay in my position
Just keep living on borrowed time
Take that train to nowhere
So I can be with my own kind

I feel like I've been cheated
Like an animal from it's skin
Who do I complain to
Who am I to blame

I'll jeopardize my karma
In order to fit in
Somehow I manage to flush the fashion
And follow my own trend

Bruised and abused, but still easily amused
Can't figure why he still comes around
Nobody hates him, they just like to humiliate him
Then he'll take the shirt off his back for you

Sticks and stones can't break his bones
He'll come back swinging at you
Sticks and stones can't break his bones
Because he's the human pinata

Everyone's a character in his dreams
Nothing else can bring him down
He'll be the player on the other team
Just to make the game complete

He does things his way, not like anyone else
A strong believer in himself
The laughs on him, and it doesn't matter
He'll leave the attitude on the shelf

Feliz Navidad.
Feliz Navidad.
Feliz Navidad.
Prospero Ano why Felicidad.

Feliz Navidad.
Feliz Navidad.
Feliz Navidad.
Prospero Ano why Felicidad.

We wanna wish you a Merry Christmas.
We wanna wish you a Merry Christmas.
We wanna wish you a Merry Christmas
From the bottom of our heart.

We wanna wish you a Merry Christmas.
We wanna wish you a Merry Christmas.
We wanna wish you a Merry Christmas
From the bottom of our heart.

Ho ho ho.

I have no choice but to be confined stagnant
Like a fish in a bowl
It's more of a stuggle just to survive
Life is too short just to sit around

Don't give up because of your past
Pick up all those stepping stones
What's all this hype about everyone's talking
Like there is nowhere left to go?

Some never see the desert
Some never see the woods
All these people talking about
There's nowhere left to go

Some never see the ocean
Some never see the snow
We've got all these people talking about
There's nowhere left to go

Trying to escape the concrete jungle is a life long task
Some take it for granted
In the end they find
There's nowhere left to go
