Salute the fucking bastards just for survival And pound your bleeding hearts in surround sound Out of ashes to the masses across the horizon There ain't no looking back when you're underground

Strike up the ignition screeching halt don't stop Until we're hanging off the edge of the road Aggravations altercations fuck you and your complications Everything's under control I know we know so Explain to me why I don't need another shot of vanity Motivation aspiration just keep straight keep straight In the name of rock n roll I can barely see the light in your eyes so I cock and reload Another casualty Psycho urgency rock addiction Mass affliction... in my head Double guitar ammunition On a mission... we commence The thunder crunchin bass is punching under my seat I'm gonna bang my head until it explodes Concentration desperation with no sign of compensation Cranking every song we know on the stereo so Explain to me why I don't need another shot of you and me Destination degradation just keep straight keep straight It's all in vein for rock n roll I can barely see the light in your eyes so I cock and reload Another casualty Psycho urgency rock addiction Mass affliction... in my head Double guitar ammunition On a mission... we commence

Yeah there's a place we can play with the devil's own Just left of the sane where the animals Are gazin' at your body like you was made to please Hang you up tied bound with no prayer at all Sweet sweat soakin wet like the Amazon Snakin up your body girl I could use a drink I can tell your not listening So do what you want I'm easy to please when You're way gone Actin like you just don't Give a fuck do you Wanna stay home All alone in Babylon I need some more abuse Tonight There ain't no cheap escape from disillusion I got a six gun in each hand just to stay alive You can torture me or grant my absolution And I ain't gonna break til I'm satisfied Fangtasia South of Malaysia Shoot us with your sexual steel I might be losin my mind again So sick and tired I'm achin' Muskrat drunk runnin a wheel I ain't talkin bout love Just do me again I can tell your not listening So do what you want I'm easy to please when You're way gone And actin like you just don't Give a fuck do you Wanna stay home All alone in Babylon I need some more abuse Tonight

Sunrise hypnotized Free-basing Kryptonite I'm flying higher every night I'm chasing all my demons Nothings seeming all too real and No fun California sun I'm Blacked out and just begun Whoa oh oh I'll blow you away Black California Whoa oh oh I'll throw you away Black California Fix my inebriation Chased down with calculation Got high just climbing for the sun Neck deep intoxication Ain't taking no survivors Just another victim when I tapped the pulse on my worst nightmare Whoa oh oh I'll blow you away Black California Whoa oh oh I'll throw you away Black California I am invincible on the path of self-destruction Gone M.I.A.

Pacin' like a locomotive (Oh oh oh) Cocked back and I'm fully loaded (Oh oh oh) Fat lip with a Kung Fu grip yeah (Grazie al cazzo) Tickin bomb with your high heels on And I can't get you alone so (Face it) What's the use in even tryin' You're just a tease (so shut up) (Reject) Failed to comply and You're just a tease (so shut up) Chasin' a movin' target (Oh oh oh) Come back I'm just gettin' started (Oh oh oh) I gotta itch like a son of a bitch yeah (Grazie al cazzo) Tickin bomb with ya high heels on And I can't get you alone... so (Face it) What's the use in even tryin' You're just a tease (so shut up) (Reject) Failed to comply and You're just a tease (so shut up) Can't stop the clock on your event horizon (Grazie al cazzo) Tickin bomb with ya high heels on And I can't get you alone So what's the use in even tryin' You're just a tease (so shut up) (Reject) Failed to comply and You're just a tease (so shut up) You can laugh you can bitch and deny that You're just a tease (so shut up) You can bet your ass until you die that You're just a tease (so shut up)

One by one they're forming in a straight line Outsiders gunning for the big time Shoot em up Mys-defiant faces Kickin down doors leaving lipstick traces Boppin to 'Beat On the Brat' in the meanwhile Goth girl earnin' stripes in the clothes aisle Give it up! What's our motivation? Nuclear bomb in this alienation Do you wanna judge me Without a reason? Do it for the country Call it freedom The lack of motivation's fuelin our energy The lack of motivation's fuelin our energy Everyday Taking the world with material style While you're waiting for the bus let your mind run wild I can hear 'em coming from miles and miles Do you wanna judge me Without a reason? Do it for your country Got no reason The lack of motivation's fuelin our energy The lack of motivation's fuelin our energy The lack of motivation Without a provocation Settin our sights on a catastrophe The lack of motivation's fuelin my energy Every day

I've been driving so long I can hardly go on I decided to tattoo my mind Serrating the truth With a vision of you in disguise Might be the first time I realized We see the world through different eyes Yeah I'm comin home to you tonight Angel You can take my heart Cause I ain't gonna leave when You're tearing me apart Another state-line rest-stop cigarette caffeination Racing so fast to get through the pitch black of the night Slamming my fist to the beat of my deceleration Down Desperation Road It's either love or it's war Yeah I've been there before Another surprise? I can't take anymore of your lies God help because my hearts lost its time Without the guts to say goodbye Angel You can take my heart Cause I don't really need it When you're tearing me apart You don't object to my obsession And I can't let you go Just show me the direction To Desperation Road Show me the direction To Desperation Road

Mockstar 03:56
Crucify the pretender Knock me down just see how far I rise Staring down a double-barrel loaded with imperfection So throw your nose up in quiet protest Who asked you what I represent? God save the queen says I must repent Spotlight down on this has-been scene Because I’m God's own fuckin mockstar Getting by on slavin out my soul Take your one shot baby Cause it’s do or die Fightin like hell to get recognized That I’m not saving rock n roll Strung out and self-righteous I been thinkin for myself again And I think I might just grab your attention Ain’t hookin for your charity Just selling my integrity while I’m 86’d again by another pretention Spotlight down on this has-been scene Because I’m God's own fuckin mockstar Getting by on slavin out my soul Take your one shot baby Cause it’s do or die Fightin like hell to get recognized That I’m not saving rock n roll I ‘m gonna spit on everyone Cause I’m the world’s forgotten son Going out of my way to take you down Crucify the pretender Yeah can music save your mortal soul when You’re just the latest mockstar And you sure ain’t rock n roll Spotlight down on this has-been scene Because I’m God's own fuckin mockstar Getting by on slavin out my soul Take your one shot baby Cause it’s do or die Fightin like hell to get recognized That I’m not saving rock n roll

The night mist falls and stings my face As the winter takes it’s time Reflections stream down Broadway’s glaze You're frozen through my state of mind The clouds surround above me Ain’t no heaven only scars among the Masquerade between me and you Our worlds collide now we’re lost in space Pretending that we’re still the same As you watch me while I sleep and You wonder what I’m feeling now I’m just scared of losin you When it snows in April When the spring steps aside If there’s a chance can we still Hold on for one more night? There’s a storm approachin’ Headed straight between our lies Cause when it snows in April I’m cold as New York inside Try to forget what you can’t control Forced to reject your heart and soul Am I dreamin? Can I scream? And... I don’t care if I am breathin Cause it’s more than I can do When it snows in April When the spring steps aside If there’s a chance can we still Hold on for one more night? Another storms approachin’ Headed straight between the lies Cause when it snows in April I’m cold as New York inside So cold inside Am I dreamin?

So Incognito 04:10
Shakin off the pink-down militia KGB surprise Rippin up an autographed picture Smudge it up lies But I can tell you bitch it’s one thing At the risk of being used You lookin so sweet but taste so vicious And I’m feelin more ambitious So incognito But you know it's a fact that You can’t hide from everyone I got a stone cold feelin' that You’re more than just whacked And you’re so damn evil You look so incognito You can’t even find yourself Stolen glances bounce off the mirror As you bat your eyes I take my chance but can’t get near you Then you realize That I might be a slow one But in no time I can see You’re so fucked up under that swagger Take off your cloak n dagger So incognito But you know it's a fact that You can’t hide from everyone I got a stone cold feelin' that You’re more than just whacked And you’re so damn evil You look so incognito You can’t even find yourself You’re like a freak of nature Just running from your past Full of fear and hatred While you shake your ass No time for conversation Girl, how you move so fast? It’s so damn evil You look so incognito You can’t even find yourself Can't even find yourself

Souls entwined out of nowhere Do you realize? I can feel your heartbeats warming up Through the silence in your eyes Girl I want you to notice By the time I get through the chorus That this one’s about you There’s nothing to doubt yeah Pretending like it’s some mystery Maybe I’m going crazy Cause I maybe wanting you And I know you’re crazy too Come what maybe I could stay at home every weekend Yeah I could waste my nights alone And there’s somewhere else I’d rather be But I don’t know where you’ve gone Cause girl I’d die to get closer Hey that’s one way to find closure So throw me a lifeline I’ve waited my lifetime To taste the air that you breathe About a month ago I was broken Now there’s something pure inside Suddenly I found my truth Under the New York City sky Maybe I’m going crazy Cause I maybe wanting you And I know you’re crazy too Maybe girl will you save me? Cause I maybe wanting to Spend the next life or two With you maybe

Rebel Songs 04:10
We're the distracted nation Blowin off the foundation To the righteous left Surrender's just not tactical We are the disputed We are Sub-American Insult without incident Marchin on to your doorstep And my teacher says that I can run for president But we are all just losers So send me off to war Countin on rebel songs to destroy We're losing touch One for all and all for one Countin on rebel songs fill the void Is it too much? Revolution just for fun Chasing down my delusions With pinpoint execution So I raise my can and drink to Sub-America Warriors for the weekend Wasted brats out of nowhere Countin on rebel songs to destroy We're losing touch One for all and all for one Countin on rebel songs fill the void Is it too much? Revolution just for fun whoa oh oh

about

F-Units New York, New York

F-Units have created their own personal brand of punk-influenced hard rock and get their name from diesel engine locomotives built by General Motors’ Electro-Motive Division in the 1940s and 50s — a metaphor for the band’s sound — “hard, fast, loud… fueled by power-pop hooks and raunch-rock riffs slammed together with the heavy driving force of a runaway freight train”. ... more
