Exodus
Album • 1990
You wouldn't take a taxi You said you couldn't stay You drink and drink and drive Almost every day Your life speeds through your mind Faster than you drive Living on a shoestring All your fucking life Your friends say you need help You tell them that you're fine As you tip the bottle And swallow some cheap wine You're a living time bomb Waiting to explode You'll just be a statistic When you're dead and cold! [Chorus 1]: Every time you drink and drive You always think that you'll survive Till your car is crushed and bent Impact is imminent Sirens fill the streets aloud It always draws the biggest crowd They peel your body off cement Impact is imminent! The daily obituaries reveal More and more fools climbed behind the wheel Thinking they were sober enough to drive They didn't know they'd never come back alive A bad case of double vision Led straight onto a head-on collision Passed out and crossed the double line How can anyone be so asinine? [Chorus 2]: Blind drunk and hauling ass He got airborne off an overpass He never knew he left the ground Like a warhead target bound You can't correct your fatal mistake When you're the guest of honor at your own wake Thought he could fly till he hit cement Impact is imminent! Drunken time bombs set to detonate When happy hour's over they're off to celebrate Their vision's but a blur, they barely see the road Been drinking for so long they're starting to erode A fucking drunken lush climbs into his car Kills you in an instant coming from the bar An alcoholic bum hits you from behind A child and his mother run down in their prime! [Chorus 1] Every time you drink and drive You always think that you'll survive Till your car is crushed and bent Impact is imminent Sirens fill the streets aloud It always draws the biggest crowd They peel your body off cement Impact is imminent! [Chorus 2] Blind drunk and hauling ass He got airborne off an overpass He never knew he left the ground Like a warhead target bound You can't correct your fatal mistake When you're the guest of honor at your own wake Thought he could fly till he hit cement Impact is imminent!

Decorated in the war A.U.S. ambassador Caught in selling secrets To a foreign conspirator Pledged his allegiance to The red, white and the blue As government secrets turn to revenue He shredded documents Restricted and confident Then he got caught The proof was evident Traitor to the cause He broke our highest laws So why is he still greeted With the big applause? [Chorus]: American disgrace Patriot gone to waste He took a little taste And had to have it all Betrayed the fatherland The flag and all for which it stands Desertion was the plan he chose to call American disgrace Patriot gone to waste Greed was his demise when he took the fall Betrayed the fatherland The flag and all for which it stands Traitor to the cause A.W.O.L.! Now a media star The whole thing is so bizarre How this turncoat's rich from seminars Paying out their ass to see A man who sold out to greed A Benedict Arnold who made the nation bleed New book's a bestseller T.V. movie in the cellar Unpatriotic asshole Should be a prison dweller Iron clad alibi Nothing but a pack of lies Just another felon Wearing a disguise! [Chorus] American disgrace Patriot gone to waste He took a little taste And had to have it all Betrayed the fatherland The flag and all for which it stands Desertion was the plan he chose to call American disgrace Patriot gone to waste Greed was his demise when he took the fall Betrayed the fatherland The flag and all for which it stands Traitor to the cause A.W.O.L.!

Look at all the freaks! Lined up head to head They wait for our arrival Some are here for the show Some are here to watch And some to preach the bible Hats off to the faithful That come to waltz with us They're doing what they wanna Come on to the next show Parade along with us You won't be forgotten You won't be forgotten Listen to the freak show Shouting to our songs They sound like charging rhino A place to meet an old friend A place to meet some new You can always follow You wanna meet the clowns When the circus comes to town? Gather all around! We'll remember all of you Unless our crew dismembers you! [Chorus]: Come in from hell or wherever you came Slums of the world are to us all the same Step up and join us now and don't be afraid Our party's starting to become a charade! Lunatics everywhere will all act the same And when the sideshow starts there's no one to blame There's no one left, the town is having a raid They all have joined us in our lunatic parade! You wanna meet the clowns When the circus comes to town? Gather all around! Come on to the next show Parade along with us You won't be forgotten! [Chorus]: Come in from hell or wherever you came Slums of the world are to us all the same Step up and join us now and don't be afraid Our party's starting to become a charade! Lunatics everywhere will all act the same And when the sideshow starts there's no one to blame There's no one left, the town is having a raid They all have joined us in our lunatic parade!

Murder, drugs, cash, and greed It touches everyone and everything Within the walls there's no escaping the disease Sidewalks turn to pharmacies All the pimps and pushers territories Dollars pouring in from the victims trapped within Schoolyard's a place of sorrow Pray your children live to see tomorrow A place where mothers cry, and kiss their dying sons goodbye Living in a state of fear Afraid of everything they see or hear Someone they love may get shot For drugs they never even bought! Violence is a way of life Revenge delivered with a gun or knife Paybacks are a bitch They'll leave you dying in a ditch Caught in the hypnotic spell Their life's story they'll never live to tell In a hazy curtain, they can't see the end is certain Imprisoned by narcotic chains Life for some will never be the same Trapped in walls of glass Hoping that this all will pass But some will find their way outside Face the evil, eyes open wide Break the bonds that pull you in Escape the hell that thrives... [Chorus]: Within the walls Of chaos and despair Most are unemployed Living on welfare Prowling the halls The vultures come to feed On the flesh of those Who are enslaved to the need The final curtain falls And no one sheds a tear Their pleas for help always seem to fall Upon deaf ears Within the walls of chaos they forgot That dignity and sanity Are things that can't be bought With every passing day Another life is cast astray Wear the wrong colors And you might get blown away Turn of a page Another name's crossed off the list Shot between the eyes With a rig clenched in his fist Driven to the grave Ruled by need for kicks Extract their own gold teeth To satisfy their fix There's cracks in the foundation The time will soon arrive When the walls will crumble down And bury everyone alive! Within the walls... Within the walls of chaos... Within the walls... Within the walls of chaos... Within the walls... Within the walls of chaos!

Sinner, cheater, liar Made your living till the day you retired Stealing, taking, using, and abusing Now for all your sins that you are accused of Cruelty, greed, dishonesty, and hate Forever locked outside the pearly gates Begging, praying, pleading, and bleeding Won't extinguish the fire you're feeling! They say when you die you go to hell But when you're dead it's too late to tell you You're left to rot in your wooden cell Am I in Heaven, or am I in Hell? Am I in Heaven, or am I just in Hell? [Chorus]: Only death decides for sure Don't you know only death decides where you go? Can't you see what death decides for me? You'll never know until death decides... Where you go! Pain, sadness, fear Is all you've ever given throughout the years Thievery, intimidation, and assault Tools of the trade until death puts a halt Because you're deceiving, unfeeling, and misleading The world is final, there's no use in appealing The culmination and sudden realization It's all real, no hallucination! They say when you die you go to hell But when you're dead it's too late to tell you You're left to rot on your wooden cell Am I in Heaven, or am I in Hell? Am I in Heaven, or am I just in Hell? [Chorus] Only death decides for sure Don't you know only death decides where you go? Can't you see what death decides for me? You'll never know until death decides! Dealer, pusher, conniver It's no surprise you fell paralyzed Felon, loser, and misuser You're dead broke, a washed-up boozer Misery, disaster, catastrophy Exactly how you knew the end would be Torture, terror, and nightmare Is what you'll receive when death comes in three's They say when you die you go to hell But when you're dead it's too late to tell you! You're left to rot in your wooden cell Am I in Heaven, or am I in Hell? Am I in Heaven, or am I just in Hell? [Chorus] Only death decides for sure Don't you know only death decides where you go? Can't you see what death decides for me? You'll never know until death decides... Where you go!

A turn of a card may decide life or death You better take this lesson from me Some have it all, then a roll of the dice Can take them for everything Night after night you bet all you have Hoping you won't find yourself in a ditch More unpaid debts, snake eyes again! [Chorus]: The fever starts to take its toll You feel your blood begin to boil When the wheel starts to roll Don't be late to pay your dues Or you'll get your concrete shoes Heads they win, tails you lose. So let it ride and bet it all Given any moment you can win or fall The money you owe, the money you spent You're caught digging in the jar for this month's rent They've taken the car you don't pay your debts They're gonna foreclose on all the rest How did you get your life in this mess? [Chorus] The fever starts to take its toll You feel your blood begin to boil When the wheel starts to roll Don't be late to pay your dues Or you'll get your concrete shoes Heads they win, tails you lose. Take a good look as you bet your last buck It comes up tails and you're out of luck You'd better skip town 'cause your cash has run short You borrowed from loan sharks and didn't report Your name's on a hit list all over town The word on the streets is to bury this clown Your lease on life is about to expire The season's all over it's time to retire

We do what we do 'cause we fucking want to Never give a shit what others say to you They try to give advice just to find we're cold as ice Worthless opinions need not be spoken twice We're proud of what we do, call us Thrash we won't argue We'll never be ashamed if our children ever knew Forever we'll confirm and we're flattered by the term Those embarrassed by it never should have tried it! [Chorus]: With my head held high Standing dignified I have my integrity Never gave an inch And I never flinch When it came to my loyalty 100% all out nothing less Aggressive, relentless and mean When the chips are down You'll never see us frown You'll only see Thrash Under Pressure! Thrash Under Pressure! Heavy fuckin' sound , pound your head into the ground Where others try and fail, we're glory bound It's what we love to hear, we've done it for so many years Rolling into town and blowing out your ears Parents are against, they try and keep their children Fenced in from the world and the evil influence Like birds of a feather we'll always flock together We want you to know we'll always thrash forever! [Chorus] With my head held high Standing dignified I have my integrity Never gave an inch And I never flinch When it came to my loyalty 100% all out nothing less Aggressive, relentless and mean When the chips are down You'll never see us frown You'll only see Thrash Under Pressure! Thrash Under Pressure! Thrash Under Pressure! Thrash Under Pressure! Thrash!
