We Are!

The displaced and disillusioned

We Are!

The crazy fuelled generation

We Are!

The instant generation

We Are!

The slick generation

That wanna rule the future generation

And be The Heroes of the Nation

We Are!

The entertaining generation

Cos' you're gonna like what we do

We may be good

We may be bad

But we know we are the cool generation

We Are!

The heroes to energise you

From the depths of despair

Cos' we are the next generation

We Are!

The instant generation

Cos we may be rotten

Our minds may be forgotten

But we like our lives

Cos' we are the punk-rock generation

Chorus

We may be good

We may be rude

We may be crude

Cos' We Are!

The instant generation

Cos' We Are!

The next generation

Cos' we wanna be the Heroes of the Nation

That's who We Are!

We Are!

The displaced and disillusioned

That wanna rule the future generation

And be The Heroes of the Nation

The entertaining generation

But we know we are the cool generation

Cos' we are the punk-rock generation

Cos' we wanna be the Heroes of the Nation

Chorus

We may be rude

We may be crude

We may be young

We may be old

But We Are!

The next generation

Cos' We Are!

The next generation

Cos' we wanna be the Heroes of the Nation

That's who We Are!

Did you love me?

Or really despised me

Enough to divorce me

Did you ever love me?

Chorus

Love Me

I think you hated me!

Love Me

Give me a break, baby!

It's so interesting mixing with lovers

Only to know they will depart

With shattered lives

And empty hearts

Cos' love don't exist

As far as I'm concerned

What do you think?

Chorus

Love Me

I think you hated me!

Love Me

Give me a break, baby!

Too much baggage

Connects to relationships

That have shattered us and left our hearts dead

We'll all get immune

Within our lives that we mess-up

We all destroy the word of love

Cos' we'll all mess-up, in the end

It's hard to let go to pick ourselves up

Did you ever love me, baby?

Cos' I don't think so!

Shattered lives

And empty hearts

Shattered hearts are left for the dead

Did you ever love me?

Cos' I don't think so

I don't think so

I don't care what you see

I don't care what you think of me

Even though I've made mistakes

Life's a lesson before we ascend

I don't care what you think of me

Cos' I don't think my reputation tainted

Reputation is not what I seek

Reputation is not what I care about

Bad reputation earns me cash

Good reputation allows me to sleep

I don't care about my reputation

(repeat)

I don't care about my antics

Cos' I'm not acting

I don't care about my posture

Cos' I'm not posing

You don't care

I don't care about my reputation!

Bad reputation

Is so God damn good!

Good guys finish last

I should know cos' I'm so God damn bad which is cool

I've got a bad reputation

It feels so good!

I've got a bad reputation

So, I should

I've got a bad reputation

It's attracts women so much

I've got a bad reputation

It feels so God damn good

I'm not lame, or cannot be tamed

Cos' I'm a wild lion

Bad Reputation

You don't care

I don't care about my reputation!

Being bad is so God damn good!

Being bad is so God damn cool!

What about you?

My reputation is your reputation

Your reputation is my reputation

(repeat)

[Laughing]

You make me look bad

Want to destroy my inner peace

To satisfy your thirst, of unhealthy living

To make over the troubles of the past

From innocence of childhood

To suffering of adulthood

I've got problems in my life

I've got bigger problems in my head

I've made mistakes

To be ashamed of

But the truth will set you free

At times I feel like a teenager

Though I'm more of an ageist

Cos' everyone seems to leave

Is it something I have said?

More probable something I've done

Though the past always catches up with you

In the end

Or am I a wedge

Driving people apart

Driving people away from me

I pile on the pounds

Though the problems are still in my head

My mind feels unclean

I brush my teeth

To try and freshen my sins

Because the action has already been committed

Lock me in a straitjacket

Just don't throw away the key

As I'm a person who can be rehabilitated

What are you?

Dear friend

I just want to be accepted

I just want you to accept me

But I know acceptance is not going to happen

To me

For me

Why would you want to accept me?

Why should I expect your acceptance?

(repeat)

Got a Rebel within us

Got a flame that burns too brightly

That gets us into trouble

If you know what I mean

If you want to toe the line

Then continue in the queue

But remember the Rebel within us

Is crying out loud, to be different

It's only a matter of time

Until you get out of the line

Chorus

Got a Rebel within us

Oh, yeah!

Gotta a Rebel within us

You don't have to be the same

Or put up with the mediocrity

Within life the way we are taught to be

Cos' we've all got a Rebel within us

That's wanting to break-out!

Chorus

Got a Rebel within us

Oh, yeah!

Gotta a Rebel within us

Having a Rebel within us

Manifests in different ways

Some turn to public disorder

Or terror of rage

Or plunder the riches under the graves

But the real meaning of Rebel within us

Is just to be different in creative ways

So, you wanna hate me!

Or do you despise me?

So, do you hate us?

Or do you despise us?

You want to Hate Me!

To bring on the Blues!

You want to Hate Us!

To make us Black 'n' Blue!

Well, I don't care

And we don't care

You hate us so much

That you wanna get rid-of us!

Chorus

Hate, Hate

Hate-Hate

That's all you seem to want

Hate, Hate

Hate-Hate

That's all you seem to do

So much hate

Is a waste of energy

So much hate

It will make you blind

And waste the best part of your life

Chorus

Hate, Hate

Hate-Hate

That's all you seem to want

Hate, Hate

Hate-Hate

That's all you seem to do

You wanna Hate Me

To make yourself

Feel pretty inside

You wanna Hate Us

To make yourself

Feel better inside

Chorus

Hate, Hate

Hate-Hate

That's all you seem to want

Hate, Hate

Hate-Hate

That's all you seem to do

Hate Me!

Hate Us!

Loathe Me!

Loathe Us!

Detest Me!

Detest Us!

Hate Me

To Hate You

Despise Me

To Despise You

You just want to hate someone

Does it make you feel better?

Hate Me!

Hate Us!

Do you feel spiritually clean?

Hate Me!

Hate Us!

Be careful, you'll become just like me

A Saint

Hate Me!

Hate Us!

Be careful, you'll love just like me

Hate Me!

Hate Us!

Be careful, you'll wish peace just like me

Hate Me!

Hate Us!

Be careful, you'll live life in harmony just like me

You'll see Hate can turn into Love

Just like me!

Chorus

Hate, Hate

Hate-Hate

That's all you seem to want

Hate, Hate

Hate-Hate

That's all you seem to do

Why do you hate so much?

The vilified become the loved

While the loved become the hated

That's the way society goes

Goes around in a spiteful circle

That's all you seem to wanna do

Is Hate!

But it becomes love in the end!

Mother

Father

Don't take my right from me to be angry

You say my anger isn't me

I tend to disagree

My anger is a part of me

Even if you disagree

Anger

That's all I've got inside of me

Anger

That's all I've got with me

Anger

That's all I've got in my suitcase and the baggage connected to me

Anger

Mother

Father

Don't take my right from me to be angry

I want a cup of tea

It relaxes me

Just like my anger

Is my remedy

Don't take my anger from me

It's all I've got and it's my remedy

You wanna take my anger

You wanna take my fury

Well, I've got a message for you

Don't take my anger

Cos' it's my remedy

Yeah!

Anger is my Remedy

Then you are angry at me

You blame me for my anger

Doesn't that make you seem stupid

While to me it is cupid

To others it will seem ridiculous

Mother

Father

Don't take my right from me, to be angry

That's all I've got inside of me

That's all I've got within me

That's all I've got encased in me

That's all I've got in my baggage connected to me

Anger is my Remedy

Alright!

Mother

Father

Don't take my right from me, to be angry

You don't want to listen to me

Then you wonder why I'm angry

Anger is my Remedy

Alright!

Mother

Father

Don't take my right from me, to be angry

Yeah

You don't want to listen to me

Then you wonder why I'm angry

I said a Mother

I said a Father

Anger is my Remedy

(repeat)

Yeah

Yeah!

Alright!

(repeat)

Women getting laid

Man getting stoned

I'm getting drunk

I'm eleven years old

Dog blown

Off her head

With a doggie bag

I'm hallucinating

Now I'm twelve years old

Alcopop's

I need a drop

I need it will 'til my cells

Get old

And my balls

Begin to drop

Alcapone's Alcopops

Is feeding my habit

To my hearse

R.I.P

Rest in getting Pissed

Youngsters getting drunk

While their parents

Are blinded by the sweet smell

Off licences are dodging

Alcapone's lawmen

Selling Alcopops

Over the counter

Chorus

Alcapone's Alcopops

Feed Me

Drink Me

Spend all of your pocket money on me

Purple

Yellow

Orange

Glasses too

Alcopops filling up my eyeballs

No need for a car licence

I'll drink myself to death

Drawn that last breath

On the fizz

Of the Alcopops

R.I.P

Rest in getting Pissed

Chorus

Alcapone's Alcopops

Feed Me

Drink Me

Spend all of your pocket money on me

Woman now dead

Man, now sober

I'm still drunk

Now I'm an adult

Alcapone your busted!

Argh chucks you'll only get me on tax evasion!

Flying High

Flying Low

Flying to, I don't know

Am I in?

A capsule

Or, am I in?

An aeroplane

Flying where I don't know

I can't see through the fog, down below

Not even, the tops of the trees

Or the tops of the white waves surfing the seas

Flying High

Flying Low

Flying to, I don't know

Am I flying inside my head?

Or am I seeing scary trolls

Dreaming of weightlessness

Up in space

Or Nightmares of dread

Amongst the dead

Flying High

Flying Low

Flying over bubbling volcanos

Flying High

Flying Low

Flying over and dodging snowballs

Flying High

Flying Low

Flying around the universe

Flying High

Flying Low

Flying around atmospheric colourful planets

Flying High

Flying Low

Flying around the galaxy

Flying High

Flying Low

Seeing Earth from a distance planet

Flying High

Flying Low

Seeing Earth from the edge of the universe

Behind each song

We Are!

This is an anthem of a driving rock tune and dealing with the next generation who have a different world with modern technology shaping our society.

Love or Lust

Different look at dealing with love and sprinkling the devils advocate lust! So, much of the humanity deals with whether we are loved or is it just the bare bones of lust! You decide?

Reputation

Fast paced, raw and direct delivery, and not caring what people think of a person is the main theme of this song.

Acceptance

People crave for being accepted and this causes so much pain and unhappiness when people think they are not part of the crowd. The truth of the matter you just have to accpet yourself before others will accept you.

Rebel Within Us

We've all got a rebel streak inside of us and this song delves into this human behaviour and emotion.

Hate Me/Hate Us

If you hate someone then you hate everyone else, and you may just end up hating yourself, which creates the most amount of trouble on our planet.

Anger

The angst of reflecting on your parents and not always having a good viewpoint of them, which leads to anger and this emotion becomes a comforting emotion for some in this challenging relationships from time to time.

Alcapone's Alcopops

The song title has been mispelt on purpose in case it conflints with the real Chicago gangster Al Capone. But this humourous song deals with the idea of gangsters supplying convience shops with alcoholic drinks that have different bright colours, which attracts the young and getting them hooked on these alcoholic drinks in a turnaround on the Prohibition of the 1920s and 1930s, which gave rise to the American Mafia.

Punk So Brother

Uniting people is the message of this punk rock track. The strongest bonds are when people unite and treat each other like a brother and sister (not to be left out!).

Flying

At the end of my album's I put a track which is a departure and sounds different, and this song carries in that trend.

This track has a dance sounding drum beat, with a acoustic gentle guitar sound, with xylophone sounds that was played on my desktop electronic drum pads, and some futuristic sounds to add that spacey feel of dealing with flight and flying, whether on Earth or out in the Universe!

The guitar I used was my Fender Starcaster Stratocaster, which has three single coil pickups for more soft sounds, than my humbucker pickups on my Kramer Assault FR guitar.

The bass was a Fender Starcaster Series P.

Alesis Drumkit 7, which is an electronic desktop or I placed it on my stand and played the different kits to produce the sounds, whether drums or percussions including the xylophone sounds on the pads, for each track on the album. I sampled, cut and edited my performances if they were not entirely in time.

The new Boss digital 8 track recorder to record guitar, bass, drums and vocals, then exported them for editing and slotting into each track.

Standard studio grade mircophones to record vocals.

Cubase 6.0 LE was the Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) and Wavelab 7.0 LE to do the mastering.
