Give It Up Front

I don’t got the time or the energy
To play the games you're playing
Don’t got the time or the energy
To figure out what you're saying
Time or the energy, or the motivation
To help you lie throw your teeth and exploit the situation
Give it up front, or give it up.

Wastin' Time

Wasting time
Watching it all go by
No, you shouldn’t have to spend a life
Dying, while they fill their pockets every night
Making deals, watching while the noose is tied
We don’t want to work for someone else’s cause
We don’t want to justify doing what we love
Why must you die
Underground in a mine making somebody else’s dime?
When there’s no choice but you’ll always know
that you’re wasting precious time.
They say their prayers
And think it will relive their guilt
But there’s no good reason
for people to be killed
I won’t pretend luxuries make it alright
Try to fight for your life.

Stranger's Dog

I'm not a stranger's dog
You can't play with me
You get yours and then where'd you go?
Check me out
And touch me
You got yours, where'd you go?
And it seems more and more you find less time for me
Less time to talk, less time to think
Less time for me
And I don’t know what to do anymore
And I can't hold on to you anymore
I just don’t have the time
To sit around and wait for you change your mind

Your peace is a joke
Your wars will not end
$63 million dropped in a day
I feel no hope
I feel no change
I don’t wanna wake up in your town
I don’t wanna wake up in your world
I don’t wanna wake up and see you
I don’t wanna wake up and be you
The words I hear fill me with shame
And what I see fills me with hate
So much potential, washed down the drain
I feel no hope
I feel no change

You're Different

You can learn to hate
And you can learn to trust
And you can trust and hate everybody
As much as you want
And you can learn about time
And you can learn about space
But no matter how far you run
There're things you can't escape
You're different
And for that you're stronger
You can take it step by step
Or just roll the die
And track down the fuckers and stare 'em right in the eyes
Maybe its time to contract
Or maybe its time to explode
And let the whole fucking world know

Why

Your drugs
Your money
Your friends
Your job
Your time
Your mind
Your secrets
Your lies
Why do you do the things you do?

Give Me a Break

Give me a break
Give me a fucking break
Don’t drag me on
Don’t drag me in
I know you want something special
I know you don’t wanna hate your life
I know you want something different
But when has making these bad decisions made it alright?

A Place

Feeling trapped
Feeling confined
Seeing bricks coming at me
From the corner my eye
The cars don’t stop
The lights won't change
When did things start to
Crumble this way?
When did things start to crumble this way!?!?!
You look and look and look for a place
All you really want is a little space
A place to think
A place to dream
A place where you can put your rattled mind at ease
There have been tricks
And there have been lies
And you’ve been forced to believe
Them many times
And they won't stop
And they won't change
When did things start to
Crumble this way?
When did things start to crumble this way!?!?!

Walk Away
01:37

Holding on to too many comforts to see past
How short sighted you were
And what you should give up now
(What can I give up?)
Things are bad
Make your friends now
The big blue building welcomes you in
Just sign your name here
And your life can re-begin
The ties you thought were bound by trust
Were only paper thin
She shrugs her shoulders when you ask her
She doesn’t have the answers
But it’s working for her
Is this what "he" had in store?
Too much, can’t think, don’t want, you’ve got stories, I know when to walk away.
Holding on to too many comforts to see past
How short sighted you were
And what you should give up now
(What can I give up?)
Times are bad
Make your plans now
The big white buildings are all crumbling
Be careful who you put your trust into

Get Out of It

Endless shit
Get out of it
Manipulation
Get out of it
Broken promises and forced beliefs
You gotta get out of it
Get out of it
Unwelcome stares
Get out of it
Got you cornered
Get out of it
A plan of escape, just in case
You gotta get out of it
Get out of it.

God Equals Genocide Los Angeles
From the deadening boredom of the outer Angelino suburbs, three friends united to make some music. That was a pretty long time ago. Since then they’ve toured and released records, lost/gained fans, made t-shirts, and generally tried to accomplish things on their own terms. One loves tacos, one loves cactus, and one is shamelessly writing this right now. ... more
God Equals Genocide recommends:
Nature Cruising EP (2011)
by Big Crux
Sun-deprived, ex-Y2K thrashers bringing the spirit and energy of the Big Boys and Minutemen into 2012. Out of the wide spectrum of influences comes a unique and original sound.
