Addiction

This addiction is my enemy 
It's got a choke hold on me 
I turn my head so I can breathe 
Shin rake! Kick! And kick! And kick!
Hammerfist!
Headbutt!
Elbow jabs!
Punch! Punch! Punch!
Eye gouge!
It tries to take me to the ground 
But I fight like hell 
because I'm not about to let it take me down 
I fight like hell
Until I feel it release 
Someone's gonna die today 
but it won't be me
because I won the battle 
I got the victory

In Our Streets

They're marching in our streets 
Masks on their faces to hide their identities 
They're today's neo-nazis 
They hate you if you're brown 
They hate you if you're black
They hate you if you're from overseas 
or just over the border
They won't accept you if you're a woman 
and want you dead if you're gay
They've got their arms raised 
Hitler salute 
They've got their hate flags out 
as if it's something to be proud about 
They're out there spreading hate 
with the nasty things they say 
But this is something we shouldn't tolerate 
We can't be quiet 
because silence is deadly compliance 
They shouldn't feel free to shout 
about their violence 
and wicked ways 
We must speak up 
Don't be afraid 
Stand up for justice 
Truth and hope 
Don't forget about Dr. King's dream 
Drown out their hate with love 
They're marching in our streets 
Spreading hostility 
Let's join together, you and me 
It's time we let 'em know 
We won't stand for their evil ways
Injustice or oppression 
Enough is enough 
We will drown out hate with love
