from Hit Breakers Vol. 1 (0000)
Ricky was a young boy, He had a heart of stone.
Lived 9 to 5 and worked his fingers to the bone. Just barely got out of school, came from the edge of town. Fought like a switchblade so no one could take him down. He had no money, oooh no good at home. He walked the streets a soldier and he fought the world alone And now it's 18 and life You got it 18 and life you know Your crime is time and it's 18 and life to go (repeat above) Tequila in his heartbeat, His veins burned gasoline. It kept his motor running but it never kept him clean. They say he loved adventure, "Ricky's the wild one." He married trouble and had a courtship with a gun. Bang Bang Shoot 'em up, The party never ends. You can't think of dying when the bottle's your best friend And now it's chorus "Accidents will happen" they all heard Ricky say He fired his six-shot to the wind that blew a child away. chorus 18세의 삶 릭키는 젊은 청년이죠 그는 돌같은 심장을 가졌어요 그는 아침 9시부터 오후5시까지 뼈빠지게 일했어요 학교를 가까스로 졸업한 변두리 출신 싸움도 끝내줘요 그래서 아무도 싸움을 못말리죠 그는 돈도,집도 없어요 길을 걷다가 군인과 싸우기도 하지요 홀로 외로이 그리고 이젠.. ** 18세의 삶,그것이 네가 가진 모든 것 18세의 삶,넌 알고 있지 너의 죄는 시간과 18세의 삶 그리고 삶은 그렇게 가는 것이라는 걸 데킬라를 마신 몸은 달아오르고 그의 동맥은 가솔린으로 타 버렸죠 그는 그의 오토바이를 타고 달리죠 그러나 오토바이는 그를 결코 순하게 만들지 않아요 그들은 말하죠 그 애는 모험을 좋아한다고 "리키는 사나운 놈이지요" 그는 골치거리와 결혼을 하고 총에게 구혼을 했죠 빵,빵하고 공중에 총을 쏘기도하고 그 파티는 결코 끝이 나질 않아요 당신은 죽음이라는 것을 생각하지 못할거예요 술병이 당신의 가장 친한 친구일 때 그리고 이제... "사고가 날거예요" 그들은 리키가 하는 말을 들었죠 그는 허공에 대고 여섯발을 쏘았는데 친구를 쏘아 버린 거지요 |

I've been convicted with and without reason
Tarred and feathered like a piper on a killing spree And felt the anger of generations And been a target for the cheap shots of authority So you think you cut me down to size Well there's something you should realize It's gonna take more than a break in the law To make me smile pretty for the wreckin' ball CHORUS Won't beg, won't bleed The end of sacrifice is a threat to society Hard line, you'll see Once you've made a mark, you've made a threat to society I wasn't put here to be treated Like some disease you hoped would go away if left alone You can sweep me under the carpet But I'll still infect your need to use me as a steppin' stone So you think you cut me down to size Well there's something you should realize It's gonna take more than a break in the law To make me smile pretty for the wreckin' ball CHORUS So you think you cut me down to size Well there's something you should realize It's gonna take more than a break in the law To make me smile pretty for the wreckin' ball |

She caught the melting sky
It burned but still the winter passes by and by to the other side A slow parade of wind that blows through trees that wilted with the season's children Are we saved by the words of bastard saints Do we live in fear or faith Tell me now who's behind the rain A maze of tangled grace The symptoms of 'for real' are crumbling from embrace But still we chase the shadows of belief And new religion clouds our visions of the roots of our souls Are we ashamed of our own fate Or play the fool for our own sake Tell me who's behind the rain What do we need, where do we go When we get where we don't know Why should we doubt the virgin white of fallen snow When faith's our shelter from the cold Quicksand Jesus I'm so far away without you Quicksand Jesus I need you Quicksand Jesus I believe you Quicksand Jesus I'm so far away |

Check out Clementine cleanin' needles in her wine
Face down in her one-eyed world with her brain-dead valentine She'll be your zombie, your livin' dead Her sweet corruption; it's gonna make you, gonna break you Ohh yeah, she said... CHORUS Haunt my house of pain and feel my psycho love We'll shine and pray for rain to heal my psycho love Legs at ten and two, chain her down, that's what you do King Tut and snake- eyed slut in the pink but screamin' blue I'll taste you crazy, you smell insane I'm just another ghost inside your spirits hall of fame CHORUS As the warm smooth soul chases through the cold silence of a body A body of touch not feel One question, is she a stone in the devil's garden Or a speck in an angel's dust? Ashes to ashes and lust to lust She'll teach you true love watchin' you turn blue love She'll wrap you in a chokehold and suck your spirit dry |

Suzi got an Uzi what a beautiful bride
That's where the trouble began Will there be any objection or a bloody resurrection? It's only up to Suzanne A load of ammunition in her hand CHORUS She had 'em laughin' in the aisles Venus Dee in the critical file She wasn't there to pray The killing joke had 'em laughin' all the way All the way, all the way to beggar's day She vowed to take 'em any way she can All the way, all the way to beggar's day Her jealous claim to fame has come Now, all you beggars pay Adam's in the chapel and he's swallowing his apple Wearing out his ball and chain But things were gettin' shady when the honorable maidy Broke out the forty caliber rain No no no no no no no no CHORUS |

Turn on the TV, 'cause I got nowhere to go
Seems that there's a little trouble down in Mexico A 13-year-old boy robs a store so he can eat And they got him doing time while killers walk the streets A hungry politician is the wolf that's at the door Hell-bent on submission and feedin' on the poor We could stare into the sun if we would open up our eyes But we paint ourselves into a corner colored in white lies Busted on the rockpile, getting dusted in the heat Shackled to the system, and draggin' my feet CHORUS I'm riding on a breakdown Another whiteknuckled shakedown Feels like I'm livin' on a chain gang I'm riding on a breakdown A suicidal shakedown Feels like I'm on a chain gang A con man's intuition can wash your sins away Send your contribution and he'll save your soul today What can he know, has he been through hell and back He takes the cash and drives it home in a brand new Cadillac Spitting at the guard dog, burning in his wicked deal Screamin' down the railroad with no one at the wheel CHORUS Faith healin' superstition Cold-blooded criminal mind Getting off on high position Hey brother can you spare a dime To get me off this slaughter line CHORUS |

Zoned out afternoon
Let's catch "who's on top of who" Tell it like it is 'cause it isn't anyway Much to my surprise I caught it right between the thighs My sweet little sister was layin' me away My jaw dropped dead to the table She put my cool in shock Crack kills and blood spills baby But psychos, dykes and transvestites Are on the choppin' block CHORUS Oh no, I saw my baby on the creepshow Out on, spillin' my guts on the news Oh no, I caught my woman on the creepshow Hit me with a shovel 'cause I can't believe that I dug you She filled my boots with lead was it something that I said A picture paints a thousand ugly words Baby's acting tough check out my fisticuffs That's just what she deserves I can't flip from the station Can't unplug what's done Her six-foot-deep temptation She nicked my shin, and then kicked me in, And then she buried me for fun CHORUS My jaw dropped dead to the table She put my cool in shock Crack kills and blood spills baby But psychos, dykes and transvestites Are on the choppin' block |

In a darkened room beyond the reach of God's faith
Lies the wounded, the shattered remains of love betrayed And the innocence of a child is bought and sold in the name of the damned The rage of the angels left silent and cold Forgive me please for I know not what I do How can I keep inside the hurt I know is true CHORUS Tell me when the kiss of love becomes a lie That bears the scar of sin too deep to hide behind this fear of running unto you Please let there be light in a darkened room All the precious times have been put to rest again And the smile of the dawn brings tainted lust singing my requiem Can I face the day when I'm tortured in my trust And watch it crystallize while my salvation it crumbles to dust Why can't I steer the ship before it hits the storm I've fallen to the sea but still I swim for shore CHORUS |

You and I together in our lives,
Sacred ties would never fray Then why can I let myself tell lies And watch you die every day I think back to the times when dreams were what mattered Tough talking youth naivete You said you'd never let me down But the horse stampedes and rages in the name of desperation Is it all just wasted time Can you look at yourself when you think of what you left behind Is it all just wasted time Can you live with yourself when you think of what you left behind Paranoid delusions they haunt you Where's my friend I used to know He's all alone. He's buried deep within a carcass searching for a soul Can you feel me inside your heart as it's bleeding Why can't you believe you can be loved I hear you scream in agony And the horse stampedes and rages in the name of desperation Is it all just wasted time Can you look at yourself when you think of what you left behind Is it all just wasted time Can you live with yourself when you think of what you left behind You said you never let me down But the horse stampedes, it rages in the name of desperation Is it all just wasted time Can you look at yourself when you think of what you left behind Is it all just wasted time Can you live with yourself when you think of what you left behind The sun will rise again The earth will turn to sand Creation's colors seem to fade to grey And you'll see the sickly hands of time will write your final rhyme And end a memory I never thought you'd let it get this far boy |
