Undead For Life (Intro)
00:57
|
|||
We are gathered here today
To pity the living
To resurrect the dead
To make punk weird again
With this Black Label beer
That I pour unto the earth
I hereby invite the undead to walk amongst us
To borrow our music equipment
And to be absolute goofy wankers
May their tours be awesome
And may their shows be sold out
May their moms all be very proud of them
Undead for life
Undead or Alive

Undead alive
Undead for life
Undead alive
Undead for life
Zombie punks from hell
We hail from the south
Beer upon our breath
Jazzy punk ska fest
Punk's undead for life
What a marvelous site
We're here to eat your flesh
We love the taste of death

Ride With Me
04:36
|

Keeping a breath inside my lungs
In case I need to scream out
A cry for help or simple agony
I’m thinking out loud
If you’re listening
Suppose I gotta sound profound
Oh wait, I’m just background music
For my deadbeat hometown
See, in the bar life
Folks don’t pay attention
Too busy with the hook-ups
And the sport on the television
I guess we’re out here
Just talking to ourselves
Schizo these hoes and bros
We all need some help
Nobody admits
The problems they’ve got
Drowning out the cries
With the nicotine and the shots
I’m feeling emptier
The more I fill my body with lies
It’s time to let that shit hit you
Open up your bloodshot eyes
Change your environment
You’ll change yourself
Change yourself
And your environment
You'll change your mental health
I know it’s not
As black and white as that
But I’ll cling onto the hope
That we can take ourselves back again
I wish you’d carry me
Gently far away from my pain
I want some therapy
Inner me don’t wanna be the same
He say
Honestly my world keeps on turning
Even though I wish it would burn down
Get up, get up,
Come and take a ride with me
I got a lotta things I wanna show you
Turn up the volume on the radio
Turn it up, get up, come on
Don’t you try to fight with me
It’s the only way I can get to know you
Hold your baggage out the car window and let it go
Feeling like a bag of bones
An empty colosseum
My tired liar eyes
Are hypnotized by people’s lives seeming grim
Repetition, repetition
Time and space continuum
Time loop, stuck in a cycle
Like a sim
Honestly I just wanna
Pick apart my brain
And let my therapist tell me
How to start over again
From the pain that I’ve dealt
The hurt I’ve caused
I’m paying my debt
A heart full of grief
A hurtful regret
Sick of being this person
Man, I wish it would stop
Might just impale myself
On the hands of the clock
Just to halt time
Making sure that I never drop
Another victim from the heights
Of my ego’s top floor
The end of this cycle
Is something to die for
The pain that I dish out
Is to take my own life for
I don’t want to live
With all the evil I can be
And I don’t wanna be this man
I don’t wanna be me anymore
I wish you’d carry me
Gently far away from my pain
I want some therapy
Inner me don’t wanna be the same
He say
Honestly my world keeps turning
Even though I wish it would burn down
Get up, get up,
Come and take a ride with me
I got a lotta things I wanna show you
Turn up the volume on the radio
Turn it up, get up, come on
Don’t you try to fight with me
It’s the only way I can get to know you
Hold your baggage out the car window
Let it go
Honestly my world keeps on turning
Even though I wish it would burn down
Get up, get up,
Come and take a ride with me
I got a lotta things I wanna show you
Turn up the volume on the radio
Turn it up, get up, come on
Don’t you try to fight with me
It’s the only way I can get to know you
Hold your baggage out the car window
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go

What it's Worth
02:56
|

You're just wanting to chase after every moment
Drunk on dopamine, sex, and serotonin
I'm just wanting to swim into every sunset
Every Sunday afternoon
What it's worth
Once your party's done
Yeah, you've had your fun
It's hard to come back down to earth
What it's worth
But you just want to dance
Longer than everyone else
First time I've felt alive since birth
Every weekend builds up to disaster
Burning peoples houses just to live faster
Kept alive by rushes of adrenaline
Through workweeks we slowly get our shit together
I could live like this forever
Let's put a whole new meaning to dying young
What it's worth
Once your party's done
Yeah, you've had your fun
It's hard to come back down to earth
What it's worth
You just want to dance
Longer than everyone else
The first time I've felt alive since birth
Post-party depression's got you, my friend
That's alright, the cure's in the weekend

Monophobia
04:33
|

So I'm trapped in my head
At the edge of a bed once again
Oh what a surprise
I've never felt so alive
And so dead inside
At the same time
And I don't wanna be alone again
Please stay because I need your company
I wanna forget to feel everything
I wanna learn to be my own crutch and relief
Is it okay to feel alone
Even when I know you're here
It made my heart feel cold as stone
It made me feel like I should just disappear
Disappear
Back in my dreams
I got these surreal and vivid encounters
I wish I knew what they meant
But some things are better left misunderstood
Some things are better off dead
And I don't wanna be alone again
So please stay because I need your company
I wanna forget to feel everything
I wanna learn to be my own crutch and relief
Is it okay to feel alone
Even when I know you're here
It made my heart feel cold as stone and
I feel like I should just disappear
Disappear
Disappear
You crawled inside of our eyes
And now I only feel fear
When we see ourselves at night
The mirror screams back in tears
We thought you only left marks on our hearts
You're in our thoughts and our dreams too
And when I finally get some sleep
I only dream of you
You crawled inside of our eyes
And now I only feel fear
When we see ourselves at night
The mirror screams right back in tears
We thought you only left marks on our hearts
You're in our thoughts and our dreams too
And when I finally get some sleep
I only dream of you

Live Fast, Die Last
02:47

One two
Fuck you
He's shitting out his liver almost everyday
Drinking from the bottle, pissing all his days away
Lying unconscious on the hospital floor
Almost fucking dead but he still wants more
Live fast, die last
Live fast, die last
Live fast, die last
Live fast
Die
All his friends out taking acid
Snorting coke and shooting dope
Maybe he should go and join em
No optimism, future, or hope
Live fast, die last
Live fast, die last
Live fast, die last
Live fast
Die
It’s hard to face reality
He wanna stay punk, drunk, and disorderly
Live fast, die last
Live fast, die last
Live fast, die last
Live fast
Die
It’s sad it sometimes comes to this
When everything just turns to shit
He's gone through enough
To know what it’s like to fall
Live fast, die last
Live fast, die last
Live fast, die last
Live fast
Die

Big Brother
02:34

Big brother’s watching you
Everything you say and do
In your closet, in your mind
He’s been working overtime
Big brother’s watching you
Everything you say and do
Be gone within a blink
Thinks you’ve had a bit too much to think
Back up with your out-dated constructions
I need to maintain my sanity
You’ll never steal our souls or passions
You can try but you will not succeed
Big brother’s watching you
Everything you say and do
In your closet, in your mind
He’s been working overtime
Big brother’s watching you
Everything you say and do
Be gone within a blink
Thinks you’ve had a bit too much to think
Stay out of my mind
You all just better
Stay out of my mind
You and your evil kind
You and your evil kind
Stay out of my life
And stay out of my mind
Stay out of my
Stay out of my mind
You all just better
Stay out of my mind
You and your evil kind
You and your evil kind
Stay out of my life
And stay out of my

I woke up and I realized
that I’ve got nothing to lose
Mntanam
I’ll grow old or I may die young
But I’ll never lose my youth
Qhubeka
I’ll spend my life and the rest of my time
On this earth in pursuit of the truth
Mntanam
I’ll help out and do what I can
To walk in every wise man’s shoes
Like you
Mntanami
Qhubeka khuleka
Nyamezela ngoba
Eli libali lethu
Many people in my heart and memories
Many sights, many faces and smiles
Khuleka
Our blurry nights and the pains that we feel
Kinda help us get to know ourselves
Khuleka
I wish you well with your ventures my friend
Be strong, be ever growing and loud
Nyamezela ngoba
Coz after all we’re just young pirates wanting treasures
Make someone in our lives proud
Mntanam

Something speaks to me before I fall asleep
It says to chase my dreams, and not to chase money
It tries to tell me how to find true love in peace
It teaches me things that I never knew about me
Libali lethu
Nyamezela Mntanam
Khuleka
Qhubeka
Mntanam
Eli libali lethu
I swear I’ll try my best to be happy
Living with only the things that I need
It’s kinda difficult to do so
Living in a world that rewards greed
I swear at some point I’ll try and learn
To have a small amount of humility
Spend the rest of my days trying to figure out
How to be the best version of me
You’ll see
You'll see
Mntanami

Something speaks to me before I fall asleep

It says to chase my dreams, and not to chase money
It tries to tell me how to find true love and peace
It teaches me things that I never knew about me

Punk's Undead (Outro)
01:00
|

And so fellas
From ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
Tattoos get infected
and guitar strings rust
The undead now roam the earth freely
Eating trashy junk food
Drinking free drinks
And sleeping on couches
They haunt the crevices of bars
across the southern tip of Africa
Leaving chaos and carnage in their wake
Only time will tell
What their fate may be
But until then
It is what it is
Punk's undead
Undead for life
