Smartbomb - Barely Legal
lyrics
sign em' up and shave their heads and ship them off to die ship them off to die before their time is of the essence when you're barely eighteen you're too preoccupied too young to question why does the truth of war take some decades to be revealed meet your cult classic stereotype you're that skeleton you are that liaison tonight i'm alright... if you're alright i pledge no allegiance for this fact i am proud and it's my job to keep thinking out loud you're the bridge we burned before we looked across i drove all night just to see you again my old friend that's why i'm singing this song inclement weather and my shitty car no road too far it's always my favorite destination stagnation yeah i thought i found the cure but now i'm not so sure

Smartbomb - Who's The Terrorist Now?
lyrics
well the life and the times and the reasons behind all the things that we do have occurred in my mind so pack your bags leave your baggage behind it's too late in the day to want to save me it's too late in the season to brandish your gun let em hang arms towards the sky bark and bite through your sights in the name of lad liberty it was a sunday bloody sunday and you might as well if we die tomorrow then i'll see you in hell who's the terrorist now well the strife and the crimes and the sign of the times of a war that's deemed wise through american eyes a foundation of lies and we can't hear their cries 'cause it's out of our sights and it is out of our minds

Smartbomb - Lesson Learned
lyrics
can't trust your government 'cause they're totalitarian our hands our hands covered in blood because of our demands i look back on wasted days of my life defenseless senseless strife one thing i've learned we've got to somehow revel in the urgency of now lesson learned

Smartbomb - Second View
lyrics
it's all about today and how you waste your days away good morning santa cruz no time to lose three a.m. i can't sleep get up and roam the streets i walk down to the pier and let my problems disappear you caught me by surprise like a sight for sore eyes you compromised at every by and by it's all about tonight a couple beers ans i'm alright san francisco bay what can i say good friends and good vibes you know i think about you all the time 'cause today it will be gone before you know you took us in and saved us from the road dedication to those who i can call my bro's you gave us your support and you gave us your floor you gave us everything an i could ask for nothing more i think of the things that i lost along the way i think of the things that i lost over monterey bay i found them today and i left a little something behind on the way

Smartbomb - Blood & Sand
lyrics
you can't stop the madness you can't break the sadness just another faking guilt-stricken american if you're uneducated if you have been migrated you see too much and you're mind is spoiled blood and sand go hand in hand go on and on and on and on and if you feel you've lost your wits in the chaos of this song consider this the majority is wrong the majority is greater than the one pinnacle position held by cretin sons who train our kids at young ages to shoot to fucking kill taught to ignore signs of your fleeting free will until the day you die it goes on and on like a heart attack you work so hard you break your back you're working for something that you don't believe in
11.
Smartbomb - My Wicked Mind
lyrics
the one thing we all want is the one thing we can't get totally consumed we take refuge in our meds but we've got the choice to choose the means in which we send our bitter broken hearts to the bitter broken end i'm telling you something wicked this way comes something wicked this way comes take pride in what you've got and no mind to what you've not it's not the things you own but the means in which you sought in the end there is a prize that beautiful demise well it's not about the journey it's about the struggle keep the faith and fight the good fight there seems to be no amount of driving all night to settle these thoughts in my wicked mind
12.
Smartbomb - Undercurrents
lyrics
i'm glad i'm not like them so privileged yet so removed it must be nice not to worry about your next meal or working till your bones have turned to dust but i now something that you don't know it is pride and the ultimate price is our lives some of use pay it all up front so we succumb to undertow that flood waters are here scratching at your basement door ain't it funny when all is clear it's too late to turn and run so you're too smart to follow the flow succumb to undertow
