@ARTIST: WARTIME featuring HENRY ROLLINS EMI RECORDS (CHRYSALIS) @ALBUM: FAST FOOD FOR THOUGHT Produced by Andrew Weiss All music written & performed by Andrew Co-produced by Theo Van Rock All lyrics written & performed by Rollins SIDE A ------ @SONG: MINDFIELD (1:34) (Instrumental) @SONG: WARTIME (5:46) Aww man, so little time, so much to deal with It seems like everything passes me on, turns me off, messes me up, draws me in Or just plain bums me out I crack my head and I try to get over it I stub my toes and I try to pass under it My existence is like trying to breath in a big rock I inhale and it hits me hard I pay guys with guns to protect me from guys with guns Some man in a suit is tellin' me to drop dead so i can live happily ever after There's a guy in the mirror whose always in my face Aw man, sometimes I think I'm goin' insane BRIDGE: Don't lose your mind when you're running through a mine field Don't stop rollin' when you're rolling on the real wheel You've got a lot to lie right in the eye And not be afraid to see too clearly Makes no difference if it's night or day Well take a look around and say... CHORUS: It's Wartime (x4) Yeah you know what I'm talkin' about man That's exactly what I'm talkin' about The most important thing is to maintain Sometimes it's all you can do is just to maintain Sometimes it's all you can do is go and put a gun to your brain Sometimes it's all you can do just to maintain Lookin' out on the streets seein' those screaming rats racin' Runnin' wild like mindless idiots will run wild I can't believe the groove they's use Years, eyes cried, feelings, eyes lie Talkin' bout changin' but remaining the same Shameless, meanless, free from blame, man It's enough to make you wanna do somethin' down right stupid It's enough to make you wanna do somethin' down right sick BRIDGE CHORUS So now you know what the deal is The time is wartime, wartime is here, it's all around you You can't close your eyes and make it go away You be alive right here, right now, right here, here and now It's who you're dealing with ............ 24 hours a day warpath reality It's a full time thing, you gotta deal with it You hang on, you'll be alright You gotta keep movin' in a positive forward direction If you let them, they will destroy you Don't let them - Save yourself They will not destroy me BRIDGE CHORUS @SONG: RIGHT TO LIFE (7:43) (Not even gonna make an attempt) SIDE B ------ @SONG: THE WHOLE TRUTH (5:50) Hello! Say what? Oh yeah? Too much. What's new? What's up? I here you're messed up, in trouble, in pain No need to explain - Expectation let you down See yourself inside - When it gets real do you hide? Can you face them or do they chase you down How it could be and how it is - What it should be and what it is Just another version of the big fat truth Mind the gap, see the distance - It's the blueprint of resistance Try to get your point across and it gets knocked back Confrontation - static Intimidation - panic Eye to eye and wall to wall Can you see what's here? Does it fill you with fear? Can you keep your distance from what you hate? Unbelievable, unreal, too shocked to feel Look out! Mind the gap! The truth ain't nothin' but the truth Oh no! You don't say! They don't see it your way? In the dark everyone was just like you Now you're mad, uptight because the world's not right You don't think and it makes you sad Attitude affected, your way - rejected Stupidity to get you through Check out the gap that's all around you Try to get close, it astounds you How these people can be so relentlessly cold Too easy, so blind. Too tough to be kind Man, you're like some guy in a comic book Get real, pull your head out Get up, and get the lead out Man, I know you can do better than that Yeah you could stay away from arms length away from life But it takes strength to get up close and go all the way live Bridge the gap, take the first step The more you go, the more you get Down with the program and on with the show The truth ain't nothin' but the truth @SONG: FRANKLIN'S TOWER (7:38) (No thanks.) ----------------------------------------- Time wasted by : JWLKQLA@oak.grove.iup.edu
