MESSERSCHMITT SQUADRON ANNIHILATED!
What is it with Welsh power trios
and the NWOBH?
It's makes me want to raise
the Dragon flag
but there's no time to wave it
when the airs filled with aces
and blood is falling
from a war in heaven
the 109 used to rule
the skies
now their's a reign
of Spitfires and Hurricanes
burning up at 10,000 feet
cockpits riddled with bullets
like sieves made of Swiss cheese
there's no time to bail out
between the Hammer and God
at the carnage of Bodenplatte
how do we know that it was a pheasant that
brought Theo Nibel down and not a Budgie
THE VIEW FROM ALCATRAZ
An albatross on a mournful flight
Where each hello doubles as goodbye
As tears rolled down her cheek
I didn't need to ask what's wrong
We just stood on the concrete tier
Looking past the Golden Gate, at the setting sun
TERR-WAR
A burning krall outside Salisbury
an invaded farm near Bulyawo
nothing seems to change
but a role reversal
Missile attacks across the border on Lebanon
Hellacopter attacks near Jersaulem
A war against terror, or a war of terror
because war is terror, Terr-war
it's been said before
and might seemed contrived
but if we keep up up the pace of an eye for eye
soon the whole world will be blind
propaganda by deed
IS CALLING YOURSELF STRAIGHT EDGE BEFORE YOU"RE 21 LIKE BEING 12 AND SAYING YOUR CELEBATE?
I'd rather look back at a past of smoking and drinking
And say it was all a phase
Than have tattooed X's on my hands
While I'm waiting in line for the pony keg
Or singing along to Minor Threat (on the juke box)
at fallen edge icon's sports bar
while buying the crew
another round of PBR
so live your life without regrets
and make your own decisions
experience the world and all it has
before you make claim to such a staunch commitment
The edge should be a mere reflection
not a of lifestyle "obsessed with anti-obsession"
or a righteous path leading in any direction
because when you follow a path it's easy to stray
WILD, WILD, WESTERN EUROPE
You see this Canadian Flag on my back pack?
It means I question my own countries foreign policies
Feeling trapped like rat of Nam Yum
five bodies, six graves
and so tired of dragging
this coffin behind me
from sun up to sun down
town to town
day in, day out
it's time to get out
Time to escape to
Wild, wild western Europe
Gnocci over an open flame
out door dining on the Spanish plains
pasta marinara and brucetta
on the Italian highlands
I'd rather watch Spaghetti westerns
than take part in some one else's battagliola
MY DRUG FREE ICON DROVE SCHOOL BUSES THROUGH WALLS OF TELEVISIONS
Ian looked to the Nuge
for inspiration
I had a different influence
similar destination
Sex show dominatrix
NYC
non-smoking macrobiotic vegetarian
and drug free
singing duets with Lemmy
posing naked in Cheri
jumping out of planes in the nude
wrasslin gaters and security too
drove a Coup de Ville off Pier 62
no time for finger pointing
when there's a live chain saw in her hand
no time for dog piles
when a sledge hammer's being swung
just because your drug free
doesn't guarantee you'll be happy
just because you're vegetarian
doesn't stop the world from being crappy
she hated cops, politicians and journos too
but cared enough to feed the squirls
before she pulled the trigger and saw it through
leaving blood in the streets
while state sponsered terrorism
is destroying whole cities
and it's the people that suffer
the civilians who die
and the crying orphans
who grow up to continue the cycle
