He plays the tunes for you and me
A Punk Rock Prescription sets us free
Ya gotta listen that's my decree
It makes your day better you gotta agree
A Punk rock prescription is what you need
No more inhibitions set yourself free
Just let go that's my only plea
A Punk rock prescription is what you need
Do I have the answer? Yes I do
Let Punk Rock prescription get you through
Change your life and just begin anew
You need to get that Punk Rock Attitude
A punk rock prescription will get you through
I know that's just what it's gonna do
When you feel like it's déjà vu
A punk Rock prescription is what you turn to

Dead Dream

I left Ohio for the Golden State
In the beginning it was so great
It's been destroyed by the left
Look outside at the mayhem and death
It's a Dead dream, it's a dead dream
It's not like it used to be
It's a Dead dream, it's a dead dream
Things just aren't like they seem
It used to be a paradise
Now it's no longer very nice
Life's be come unfurled
Now we're living in the 3rd world
It's a Dead Dream, it's been destroyed
Nothing makes me more annoyed
The California dream is dead
Curtesy of the left
That's where you've gotta put the blame
Get rid of them and we'll prosper again
Sweetheart deals with big business
Leave the rest with less and less
Prosperity is now devoid
Except for the ones who exploit
No matter what it's more of the same
I know just who's to blame
Petty people with immense power
Take it back before the final hour
Dead dream, dead dream
It's not like it used to be
It's a Dead dream, it's a dead dream
It makes me just wanna scream

Wolves in the Graveyard
02:09

It's day but it's black as night
You don't know what to do
Should you stay or take flight
Watch out they're coming for you
You wonder if you'll get through
Watch out there's Wolves in the Graveyard
Everything you know turned upside down
Confused but you gotta look around
You can't see em but you can hear
That just heightens all your fear
Running you gotta look back
Surrounded you're in their trap
You stop and hear them growl
You know their wolves by their howl

Think about the children in everything you do
They are our future not your pet tool
And what about the children
You don't really care about their innocence
Their protection calls for vigilance
You only care about your agenda
Not what it will engender
You just perpetuate a cycle of stupidity
You don't teach them that it's their right to be free
Hate merchants teaching our kids
Trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist
Militant morons using them as pawns
Restricting their minds and their lexicon
Educators treat them all the same
Manipulation is their game
Each child is special and unique
Treat them like it and change your technique
They are the future not your pet tool
Think about the children in everything you do

Lemmy

Roady for Hendrix and born to thrill
Writing songs like Bomber and overkill
A fifth of a whiskey everyday
He lived long what can I say
Lemmy, Lemmy
The Rock and roll standard
Lemmy, Lemmy
Rock god of the world
Falsely accused fired from Hawkwind
Born to lose, lived to win
Started a new band instead
Named from his song Motörhead
Thrilled us all with Iron Fist and Ace of Spades
Lived his life to the full all the way to the grave
Lived his life with no excuse
Iron Horse Born to lose

Proctologist View
01:38
|

Do you like being lied to
What they tell you isn't even true
It's the proctologist view
Of the world
All they do is to think of the worst
Want to have your bubble burst
And how they can make you thirst
And make your life blue
It's the proctologist view
It's nothing new
The proctologist view
Shouldn't you know by now
And not even wonder how
Go ahead and disavow
The proctologist view
Lies, damn lies, & statistics
They make me go ballistic
Don't believe what they're telling you
They have tunnel vision and a narrow view
They can't see the forest thru the trees
You can't tell by the few who have a disease
It's bad science I'm telling you
You conflate dollars with a breakthrough
The exception is not the rule
If it is you're a fool
Experts are nothing new
The Proctologist View
You think you're always right
Gotta show your might
You don't always see the light
Right on cue

Mob Rule
01:53

If you think Democracy is better
I've got some distressing news for you
I tell you this with no pleasure
Democracy is nothing but mob rule
Who says the mob is always right
One more than half will show their might
Not the way that we'll unite
If it's a fight they want I'll ignite
Mob Rule Mob Rule
What they think's not always for you
Mob Rule Mob Rule
Democracy is not what you thought you knew
Tyranny is never cool
No wonder its become a cesspool
It just takes 1 one more than 50 percent
To give them authority to relent
It sounds so good you think that you'll like it
That is until they come after you
Then you'll finally admit it
Democracy is nothing but mob rule
Just because many may think it true
That doesn't make it right, but can be cruel
If you think the mob should rule
You went to the wrong school
