  Nitro (Youth Energy)
  Our generations
  Sees the world not the same as before
  We might as well just throw it all
  And live like there's no tomorrow
  There's no tomorrow

  We are the ones
  Who are living under the gun everyday
  You might be gone before you know
  So live like there's no tomorrow-ain't gonna waste this life
  There's no tomorrow-you ain't gonna live it for me

  Believe it
  The official view of the world has changed
  In a whole new way
  Live fast cause if you don't take it
  You'll never make it

  So if you understand me
  And if you feel the same
  Then you will know what nitro means
  You'll live like there's no tomorrow-ain't gonna waste this life
  There's no tomorrow-you ain't gonna live it for me
  There's no tomorrow

 

   
  Bad habit
  Hey man you know I'm really okay
  The gun in my hand will tell you the same 
  But when I'm in my car
  Don't give me no crap
  Cause the slightest thing and I just might snap

  When I go driving I stay in my lane
  But getting cut off makes me insane
  I open the glove box
  Reach inside
  I gonna wreck this fucker's ride

  ESTRIBILLO
  I guess I got a bad habit
  Of blowin' away
  Yeah I got a bad habit
  And it ain't goin' away
  Yeah

  Well they say the road's a dangerous place
  If you flip me off I'm the danger you'll face
  You drive on my ass
  Your foot's on the gas
  And your next breath is your last

  Drivers are rude
  Such attitudes
  But when I show my piece
  Complaints cease
  Something's odd
  I feel like I'm God
  You stupid dumbshit goddamn motherfucker

  I open the glove box
  Reach inside
  I'm gonna wreck this fucker's ride

  ESTRIBILLO

 

  Gotta get away
  I'm getting edgy all the time
  there's someone around me just a step behind
  it's kinda scary(without an "e") the shape I'm in
  the walls are shakin and they're closin in

  too fast or a bit too slow
  I'm paranoid of people and it's starting to show
  there's one guy that I can't shake
  over my shoulder is a big mistake


  ESTRIBILLO:
   Sitting on the bed or lyin' wide awake
   Demons in my head, it's more that i can take
   Think I'm on a roll but I think it's kinda weak
   Saying all I know is that I gotta get away from me


  I tell you something just ain't right
  my head is on loose but my shoes are tight
  avoiding my friends cause they all bug
  life is like a riddle and I'm really stumped

  If you reason, you don't know
  your own preoccupation is where you'll go
  I think I'm being followed, I look around
  It's only my shadow creepin' on the ground...



 

  Genocide
  Our lives run different ways
  Through the rain I see you in the sun
  Our star shines anyway
  If you reach out darling we are one

  ESTRIBILLO
  One two three four
  Dog eat dog everyday
  On our fellow man we prey
  Dog eat dog to get by
  Hope you like my genocide

  I find it's such a shame
  Through the pain I see things as they are
  We're sitting up on a plane
  And it's true we're high enough to fall

  And in time if we can see the errors of our ways
  Would anyone change it anyhow?
  Our time is up

  ESTRIBILLO

  I bet you'd only run
  If you saw what grows inside
  Our own
  I bet you'd lead the way
  If it were up to you to decide
  But it's not

  ESTRIBILLO

  Like a silver flame
  Like suicide
  Like killing boy
  One two three four

  Something to believe in
  I believe that reality's gone
  Disillusion's real
  I believe that reality's gone
  And there's nothing to feel

  If you take these things
  Things that we hold dear
  Hands of crime is all you'll find

  ESTRIBILLO
  Give me somethin'
  Somethin' to believe in
  Somethin' to believe in
  Somethin' to believe in
  Somethin' to believe in

  I believe in the changin' of the guard
  Put our feet on the ground
  See how it is in your own backyard
  Everything breaks down

  Do you accept what you are told
  Without even thinking
  Throw it all you'll make your own

  ESTRIBILLO

  Where they lead 
  You will follow
  Well I guess that's just the way it goes

  And if you go away
  You'll be doing what they say
  And if you've got a life
  You'll be seeing that it's right

  If you take home anything
  Let it be your own two feet
  The more single you become
  The better off you'll be

  ESTRIBILLO

 

  Come out and play (You gotta keep 'em separated)

  Like the latest fashion
  Like a spreading disease
  The kids are strappin' on their way to the classroom
  Getting weapons with the greatest of ease

  The gangs stake their own campus locales
  And if they catch you slippin' then it's all over pal
  If one guy's colors and the other's don't mix
  They're gonna bash it up

  ESTRIBILLO
  Hey man you talkin' back to me?
  Take him out
  You gotta keep 'em separated
  Hey man you disrespecting me?
  Take him out
  You gotta keep 'em separated
  Hey they don't pay no mind
  If you're under 18 you won't be doing any time
  Hey come out and play

  By the time you hear the siren
  It's already too late
  One goes to the morgue and the other to jail
  One guy's wasted and the other's a waste

  It goes down the same as a thousand before
  No one's getting smarter
  No one's learning the score
  Your never ending spree of death a violence and hate
  Is gonna tie your own rope

  ESTRIBILLO

 

  Self esteem
  I wrote her off for the tenth time today
  And practice all the things I would say
  But she came over
  I lost my nerve
  I took her back and made her dessert

  Now I know I'm being used
  That's okay man cause I like the abuse
  I know she's playing with me
  That's okay cause I got no self esteem

  We make plans to go out at night
  I wait till 2 then I turn out the light
  All this rejection's got me so low
  If she keeps it up I just might tell her no

  ESTRIBILLO
  When she's saying that she wants only me
  Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends
  When she's saying that I'm like a disease
  Then I wonder how much more I can spend
  Well I guess I should speak up for myself
  But I really think it's better this way
  The more you suffer
  The more it shows you really care 
  Right? Yeah yeah yeah

  Now I'll relate this little bit
  That happens more than I'd like to admit
  Late at night she knocks on my door
  Drunk again and looking to score

  Now I know I should say no
  But that's kind of hard when she's ready to go
  I may be dumb
  But I'm not a dweeb
  I'm just a sucker with no self esteem

  ESTRIBILLO

 

  It'll be a long time
  All this time when you were away
  So many days it was
  Back and forth we would sway
  Making it up was fun

  Through the pale reflection we each
  Hold the world above these dreams
  Eager to leave
  Well seeing's believing
  It's always the way it goes

  ESTRIBILLO
  When will we ever listen to reason
  I have a feeling it'll be a long time
  When will the truth be coming to season
  I have a feeling it'll be a long time
  I have a feeling it'll be a long time 

  Only want to be your fan
  Only time is up
  Making the same mistakes again
  Tell me I'll be falling

  Through the pale reflection we each
  Hold the world above these dreams
  Eager to leave
  Well seeing's believing
  It's always the way it goes

  ESTRIBILLO

  Well if they'd try maybe they'd see
  It would do a little good to let the world be free
  Handshake and a smile gets it all approved
  We could turn it all around with the suicide groove

  But you know it's not movin' anyone but me
  You make yourself see what you wanna see
  But you know it's not movin' anyone but me
  You gotta make yourself see what you wanna see
  Yeah

  I see you
  Through the pale reflection we each
  Hold the world above these dreams
  Eager to leave
  Well seeing's believing
  It's always the way it goes

  ESTRIBILLO

 

  Killboy powerhead
  He's a pistol grip
  And a lightning rod hammer stop
  He always busts his knuckles
  When he's wrenchin' up his shit

  He just a Killboy Powerhead...yeah

  You know I saw his woman
  She was writing his name in blood
  You know I saw his woman
  Hard as a rock

  She said she was his baby
  Who looked just like the Hoover Dam
  You know I saw his woman
  Hard as a rock

  He just a Killboy Powerhead
  Killboy Powerhead
  Killboy Powerhead
  Killboy Powerhead...yeah

 

  What happened to you
  Before you started tokin' you used to have a brain
  But now you don't get even the simplest of things
  I can draw a little picture
  Or even use my hands
  I try to explain but you just don't understand

  ESTRIBILLO
  Man you're really losin' it
  And you've really done a lot of junk now
  But you keep on abusin' it
  What in the world happened to you

  It's bad enough you do it to yourself
  But taking someone with you
  Well you know that's something else
  I say I'm not that kind of person
  I'm not that kind of man
  I try to explain but you just don't understand

  ESTRIBILLO

  I might be sympathetic or cut a little slack
  If I thought that you were willing to give a little back
  But you do it in the morning
  You do it in the night
  You lie to refrain from just facing your life

  ESTRIBILLO

  So I'll see you tomorrow
  You'll be gackin' up again
  I'll see you in a coffin by the time your wad is spent
  I think of all the times that I tried to lend a hand
  I try to explain but you just don't understand

  ESTRIBILLO

 

  So alone
  Look at the crowd and tell me whether
  All are surrounded
  But some are together
  If you're awake, look all around
  At all of the people
  Still you're so alone

  ESTRIBILLO
  So alone

  If I could, I'd make a suggestion
  Without sounding preachy
  Or begging the question
  Melt with your minds
  Melt with each other
  Don't be surrounded, don't be so alone

  ESTRIBILLO

 

  Not the one
  I'm not the one who made the world what it is today
  I'm not the one who caused the problems started long ago
  But now I deal with all the consequences that troubles our times
  I carry on and never once have even questioned why

  I'm innocent
  But the wieght of the world is on my shoulders
  I'm innocent
  But the battles started are far from over

  We're not the ones who leave the homeless in the streets at night
  We're not the ones who've kept minorities and women down
  Still we grow and then the problems they become our own
  We carry on without even realizing why

  ESTRIBILLO
  We're innocent
  But the weight of the world is on our shoulders
  We're innocent
  But the battles left us are far from over

  We're not the ones whose pollution balcked our skies
  And ruined the streams
  We're not the ones who made the nuclear bombs
  That threaten our lives
  We're not the ones who let the children starve in faraway lands
  We're not the ones who made the streets unsafe to walk at night

  And even if we try and not become so overwhelmed
  And if we make some contribution to the plight we see
  Still our descendents will inherit our mistakes of today
  They'll suffer just the same as we and never wonder why

 


  Smash
  Head over heels I fell here before
  Now I don't wanna do it no more
  I'm lying right here with blood on my face
  Feeling so bad, so bad I can taste

  I'm just like no one
  I don't believe in guns
  Don't give me shit 'cause I'm not gonna fight
  I just wanna be who I wanna be
  I guess that's hard for others to see

  ESTRIBILLO
  I'm not a trendy asshole
  Do what I want
  Do what I feel like
  I'm not a trendy asshole
  Don't give a fuck 
  If it's good enough for you
  Cause I am alive

  Smash is the way you feel all alone
  Lying and desperate and on your own
  Smash is the way you deal with your life
  Life is a gas, it's not pain and strife

  Head over heels I've been here before
  Now I don't wanna do it no more
  I wanna be who I wanna be
  I guess it's hard for others to see

  ESTRIBILLO

  Head over heels I've been here before
  Now I don't wanna do it no more
  I wanna be who I wanna be
  I guess it's hard for others to see
