1. Milk (Ode to Billy) (3:44)
(Milano/Benante/Lilker/Rosenfeld)
++++++++++++++++++++++
Verse 1
I woke up, can't wait to eat
Got my cereal, boy was I beat
Opened the fridge, and to my dismay
There was no milk, my mother will pay
Chorus
I want some milk!
My coffee grows cold
I want some milk!
I should've been told
Bridge
I wish I had some goddamn milk
My Cheerios just ain't the same
I wish I had some goddamn milk
Too bad the milkman never came
Verse 2
I can't go, out to the store
I'll just wait 'till Mommy buys more
I'll just have, wheat thins and beer
If I get sick the toilet is near
Chorus
Bridge
Chorus
2. Bring the Noise (3:28)
(Carlton Ridenhourr/Hank Shockler/Eric Sadler/Anthrax)
++++++++++++++++++
Verse 1
Basss!
How low can you go?
Death row, what a brother knows
Once again back is the incredible
The rhyme animal
The incredible D, Public Enemy, number one
"Five-O" said, "Freeze!" and I got numb
Can I tell 'em that I really never had a gun
But it's the wax that the terminator x spun
Now they got me in a cell 'cause my records, they sell
Cause a brother like me said, "Well...
...Farrakahn's a prophet and I think you ought to listen to
what he can say to you, what you ought to do"
Follow for now, power of the people, say,
"Make a miracle, D, pump the lyrical"
Black is back, all in, we're gonna win
Check it out, yeah y'all c'mon, here we go again
Chorus
Turn it up! Bring the noise
Verse 2
Never badder than bad 'cause the brother is madder than mad
At the fact that's corrupt as a senaotor
Soul on a roll, but you treat it like soap on a rope
Caus the beats in the lines are so dope
Listen for lessons I'm saying inside music
That the critics are blasting me for
They'll never care for the brothers and sisters now across
The country has us up for the war
We got to demonstrate, come on now, they're gonna have to wait,
'till we get it right
Radio stations I question their blackness
They call themselves black, but we'll see if they'll play this
Chorus
Verse 3
Get from in front of me, the crowd runs to me
My deejay is warm, he's x, I call him Norm ya know
He can cut a record from side to side
So what, the ride, the glide should be much safer than a suicide
Soul control, beat is the father of your rock 'n' roll
Music for whatcha, for whichin', you call a band man
Makin' a music, abuse it, but you can't do it, ya know
You call'em demos, but we ride limos too
Whatcha gonna do? Rap is not afraid of you
Beat is for Sonny Bono, beat is for Yoko Ono
Run-DMC first said a deejay could be a band
Stand on it's own feet, get you out your seat
Beat is for Eric B and L L as well, hell
Wax is for Anthrax, still I can rock bells ever forever,
Universal it will sell
Time for me to exit, terminator x-it
Chorus
Verse 4
From coast to coast, so you stop being like a comatose
Stand my man? The beat's the same with a boost-toast
Rock with some pizzazz, it will last, why you ask?
Roll with the rock stats, you'll never get accepted as
We got to plead the fifth, we can investigate
Don't need to wait, get the record straight
Hey, posse's in effect, got flavor, terminator
X to sign checks, play to get paid
We got to check it out down on the avenue
A magazine or tow is dissing me and dissing you
Yeah, I'm telling you...
3. Keep It In the Family (Live) (7:19)
(Anthrax) - from Persistence of Time
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Makind,
The public enemy's not the man who speaks his mind
The public enemy's the man that goes and acts blind
Searching for an answer that he'll never find
An action from reaction and you can't make a retraction
And then you're blue in the face
As you try to state your case
You can think with your dick but it can't shout
Yo
I try to understand what the hell is going on
I can't imagine how things ever got so far gone
You separatists, say you want your own state
I'll give them a state, a state of unconciousness
Retribution, no solution, Constitution
Discrimination, through the nation, raining hatred
I yell, when there's schism you must rebel
I yell, so you'll hear
I yell, I refuse to live, in, your hell
I am what you fear
I'm the truth, I don't keep it in the family
Live your life, take someone else
Keep it in the family
The real world's outside your door
You can't keep it in the family
You've got the longest way to fall...
Keep it in the, keep it in the, keep it in the,
Family
Don't even try to tell me what you think is right
When to you blacks are niggers, and jews are kikes
And you expect to be taken seriously
But your actions, they're more than curiously
Juvenile, you emulate what you hate
And you don't even know why you feel this way
'Cause Daddy hated this, and Mommy hated that
Andyour own ability to reason's like a tire gone flat
Yo
I try to understand what the hell is going on
I can't imagine how things ever got so far gone
You separatists, say you want your own state
I'll give them a state, a state of unconciousness
Retribution, no solution, Constitution
Discrimination, through the nation, raining hatred
I yell, when there's schism you must rebel
I yell, so you'll hear
I yell, I refuse to live, in, your hell
I am what you fear
I'm the truth, I don't keep it in the family
Live your life, take someone else
Keep it in the family
The real world's outside your door
You can't keep it in the family
You've got the longest way to fall...
When you keep it in the, when you keep it in the
When you keep it in the family
When you keep it in the, when you keep it in the
When you keep it in the family
Acting out of pure cold hatred
'Cause of what another's race is
Color of another's face is
Different, and your own frustrations
Taking on a violent nature
Full of hate, so full of hate
You'd kill a man is that your fate
Your street becomes a police state
Why the hell do you hate?!
Hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Hate, hate!!!
I'm not gonna stand for it
Someone's gonna pay for it
I yell, we rebel
We're the truth and we won't keep it in the family
Live your life, take someone else
Keep it in the family
I'm the thing that you most fear
I don't keep it in the family
I am the truth you won't hear
Keep it in the family
The real world's outside your door
You can't keep it in the family
You've got the longest way to fall...
Keep it in the family
4. Startin' Up A Posse (4:14)
(Anthrax)
++++++++++++++++++++++
Now I'm gonna tell ya a story
A tale of wrong and Right
and freedom is the reason
You can't take it without a fight
Verse 1
So now I'm startin' up a posse
(Suck my dick, suck my dick)
To come and look for you
We're gonna put a stop
To what you want to do
You fucking whores
(You fuckin' whores)
That's all you are
Verse 2
You say our records are offensive
(You're a douche, You're a douche)
Our messages ain't right
You say "We're gonna label records
So our kids can grow up right"
You fucking whores
(Let them decide)
That's all you are
Chorus
Shit, fuck, staan, death, sex drugs, rape
These seven words you're trying to take
Shit, fuck, satan, death, sex, drugs, rape
Right or wrong it's our choice to make
America the beautiful, Land of the free
Don't change the words to land of Hypocrisy
Verse 3
Now I'm startin' up a posse
(Fascist scum, fascist scum)
And we'll damn sure make you see
Something that offends you
May not be offensive to me
You fucking whores
(You fuckin' whores)
That's all you are
Verse 4
Now you might take offense
To a word like "fuck" or "shit"
(Dick!)
But you fuckin' don't have the right
(Cunt!)
To discriminate me for saying it!
You fuckin' whores
( You fuckin' whores)
That's all you are
Chorus
Verse 5
So now I'm startin' up a posse
(Motherfucker, motherfuck)
To fight for freedom of choice
To fight for freedom of speech
We're gonna make you hear our voice
Verse 6
And now I don't do this to shock you
(That's the end, that's the end)
I don't do this for spite
You've got the choice, don't buy it, don't read it,
And don't say your opinion's right
You fucking whores
(You fuckin' whores)
That's all you are
(Cunty, cunty, cunty, cunt)
Verse 7
You know you can't censor my feelings
You can't censor my thoughts
Censorship's against
Everything America stands for
You fuckin' whores
(Let us decide)
That's all you are
(And this ain't sexist, either)
Chorus
5. Protest and Survive (2:20)
(Morris/Wainwright/Maloney/Roberts)
++++++++++++++++++++++
Verse 1
The savage mutilation of the human race
Is set on course
Chorus
Protest and survive, protect and survive
Verse 2
It's up to us, to change the course
Chorus (twice)
repeat Verse 1
Chorus
repeat Verse 2
Chorus
6. Chromatic Death (1:28)
(Milanno/Benante/Lilker/Rosenfeld)
7. I'm the Man '91 (5:00)
(Anthrax/John Rooney)
++++++++++++++++++
Intro
1991, always on the run
Sever years ago we wrote this one
Like Ernest and Julio, before it's time
Sever years later and it's holding up fine
Stupid motherfuckers like to slug us and dis
But there was no bandwagon when we wrote this
'Cause we stretched our boundaries
We opened the door
That no one attempted before
Five guys in shorts, who gives a shit
We do what we like, we don't care where we fit
All you new jacks, what is it?
You're kidding me, get off our dicks
Verse 1
Now we're Anthrax and we take no shit
And we don't care for writing hits
The sound you hear is what we like
And I'll steal your pop-tarts like I stole your
(Psych!)
Beat the beats the beats you beat
The only thing harder's the smell fo my feet
So listen up close or you might get dissed
Go drain the lizard or take a piss...
Watch the beat
Chorus
I'm on your case, I'm in your face
Kick you and your father back in place
Step off sucker understand
Don't you know
I'm the man
Verse 2
We got real def rhythms and fresh new jams
If ya think we've got egos well we're just hams
Scott plays stickball and likes to skate
Frankie's never on time he's always
Drinking the drinks, the drinks I drank
I put my money in the bank
They cut their crack, they offer joints
We don't do durgs do you get our meaning...
Point, point, point, point, and watch the beat
Chorus
Verse 3
For a heavy metal band raps a different way
But we like to be different and not cliche
Well they say rap and metal can nver mix
Well all of them can suck our...(dicks)
Fart the farts the farts he farted
I pick my nose but I'm not retarded
Like El Duce says "Smell my anal vapor"
And wipe my butt, with your fuckin' face
You stupid idiot...
Chorus
Verse 4
Sooooooo, as this rap is winding down
It's plain to see I forgot my hat
You know Anthrax is number one
But we don't care we just wanna have...(party)
Buff the buff the buff he buffed
We are the kings and all shall buff
We're like a diamond, this is forever
And will remain the hardest ever!
8. Parasite (3:14)
(Paul Frehley)
(Originally performed by Kiss)
+++++++++++
She'll always be there trying to grab a hold
She thought she knew me, but she didn't know
That I was sad and wanted her to go
Parasite lady
Parasite eyes
Parasite lady
No need to cry
I didn't wanna have to get away
I told her things I didn't want to say
I need her and I hope she'll understand
Parasite lady
Parasite eyes
Parasite lady
No need to cry
9. Pipeline (2:00)
(B. Spicard/B. Carman)
10. Sects (3:06)
(N. Krief/B. Bonvoisin)
(Originally performed by Trust)
+++++++++
Acting like Mo Jo's
Acting like body bagger's
Let the bells ring
Rejoice and sing
Jim Jones, where did you come from
Jim Jones, Was it for fun
Jim Jones, That's your name
Jim Jones, Style of death
This sects the promised land
Are you ready to all meet God?
Bart's Killers Holding hands
Do not fight the odds
Try to make 'em sick drink up
Be merry and be dead
Murder
The Zero Hero
Some of them might get sex
together with that boring joke
Mercenaries disciples
with bibles and rifles
In temple of people
To The Book of People
No Poster hanging high
and I do, but I don't ask why
And I do, But I don't ask why
why ah ha,ha,ha,ha
oh lord you Die
11. Belly of the Beast (Live) (6:01)
(Anthrax) - from Persistence of Time
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
You walk this earth without a heart
You tear the innocent's souls apart
You shovel your conscience into the grave
You walk this earth without a heart
Your uniform couldn't be take off
A tattoo burned into your flesh
Your mind, your voice
These are your instruments of death
How could you dare to be so bold
You only did as you were told
Marionettes dancing in time
To the apologetic lines
Fora ll the monsters of our time
Who is evil, who is blind?
In the name of who you'll find
A city of souls dying for peace
Welcome to the belly of the beast
One mind, one voice
Welcome to the belly of the beast
Who hears, your voice?
Million, never never again
Madness, never never again
Martyrs, dead that can't die
Monsters
Insanity, the normal state
The left hand a hammer, the right, the stake
Driven so deep into the heart
It's killing love, it's killing faith
It's killing 'cause it's from the heart
What better way to demoralize
When your own children are your spies
The things you trust are not the same
Trust in death, trust in grief
Trust in hope is trust in pain
Who is evil, who is blind?
In the name of who you'll find
A city of souls dying for peace
Welcome to the belly of the beast
One mind, one voice
Welcome to the belly of the beast
Who hears, your voice?
Million, never never again
Madness, never never again
Martyrs, dead that can't die
Monsters
Who is evil, who is blind?
In the name of who you'll find
You're not supposed to question faith
But how do you accept this fate?
Million, you walk this earth without a heart
Madness, tear the innocent's souls apart
Martyrs, shovel your conscience into the grave
Monsters
A city of souls dying for peace
Welcome to the belly of the beast
One mind, one voice
Welcome to the belly of the beast
Who hears, your voice?
This is the belly of the beast
And all the souls dying for peace
Inside the belly of the beast
Millions, never never again
Madness, never never again
Martyrs, dead that can't die
Monsters
12. NFB (Dallabnikufesin) (2:16)
(Anthrax)
++++++++++++++++++++++++
We fell in love at first sight
I can't explain the feelings
When I first saw you
We were so so happy
A life of love sweet honey child
You'll always be mine
But then I played the fool
I never meant to hurt you
Or sleep with all your friends
We reconciled we found ourselves
Our love was meant to be
Oh baby can't you see
Solo
You left me standing in the mud
Crying to myself
A heart so full of pain
But we fell in love again
This time forever
True love prevails over all
She got hit by a truck
Info:
Who, What, Where, When, Why and How:
Milk and Chromatic Death:
Well, well, thought long dead. Back rearing his head, "Sgt. D".
The great thing about these two songs is that they are cover songs that we wrote.
"What?" you say, you don't understand. Well here's the deal.
In 1985, me and Chaarlie played on an album by SOD along with Dan Lilker and Billy Milano.
All these songs were written while we wre in the studio recording "Spreading the Disease."
We already had enough songs for that album so we figured we'd release all of thse other songs
under a different name.
SOD's "Speak English Or Die" came out around August of 85 and we played 6 shows between October
and Decmeber and that was it. Basically, we all had other shit to do.
But, it was fun and I guess that's why we've brought these back now.
We've made some changes (we're allowed, we wrote'em), Joey's singing, different tuning, well,
you'll hear them for yourself. Oh, those of you who have never heart the original versions may
recognize "Chromatic." MTV used it as theme music for Headbangers Ball for a long time.
(They showed cars and trucks crashing and all sorts of stuff)
Bring the Noise:
Bass! How low can you go? Damn, how heavy can you get? The main voice on verses one and two is Chuck D's. The main voice for verses three and four is Scotts. All the other voice are by Charlie and Frank with a little bit of flavor. The lyrics are by Chuck D and Hankd Shocklee. The music is by Anthrax and engineered by Mark Dodson.
Keep It In the Family (Live):
This was recorded live at the National Exhibition Center, Birmingham, England on December 14th.
Startin' Up A Posse:
The day this becomes a hit is the same day that people will realize there are no such things as "swear words" (why is "shit" bad and "excrement OK), that sex is not pornography, violence is, and that heavy metal is not the devil's music (I personally think he's into new age). This is a free country. Speak your minds people. Think it, say it, and fuckin' live it. The main voice on this track is by Scott. All the other voices are by Charlie, Frank, Joe, Dan, and Mark Dodson.
Protest and Survive:
The main voice is Scotts'. This song was written by Discharge and is from the album "Hear nothing, see nothing, say nothing." Check this one out boys and girls, it's as heavy as it gets.
I'm the Man '91:
Just like the title says, new '91 style. New words, new beats, new mix, new and improved (like Tide). Well, you'll hear for yourself. Charlie came up with all the beats and the idea to redo it. Special thanx to the Beastie Boys
Parasite:
People ask us all the time, "Why do you do cover songs?" Fun, that's why. Any song we've ever covered or will cover in the future is a song that someone in the band loves. People wanna know what our influences are. All you've gotta do is look at the covers we do. It's fun to play a song that you love, to record it and listen to it. When we were mixing this, Gene Simmons came down to the sudio and we played it for him. He loved it and couldn't believe it was Joey singing. Then he breathed fire and spit blood all over the place. I smiled for a week.
Pipeline:
People don't realize what an influence Don Wilson and Nokie Edwards playing has had on what's become known as "thrash" metal. Their riffing, slides, and especially their pikcing is so similar to so much that is going on now. They took such simple melodies and made them sound huge. Pick up a "Ventures" greatest hits CD, you won't be disappointed. Now for the technical stuff. We recorded this in early 1988 when we did "State of Euphoria". Scott plays all of the guitars on this. This track was previously released on "Penikufesin", an EP available only in Europe and Japan.
Sects:
An ode to Jim Jones, the Kool-Aid Killer. Trust wrote some great songs. Antisocial is one of the all time anthems ever. It's a shame that this band didn't get the exposure in the US that other bands got in the early 80's. They were real life. No Dungeons and Dragons fantasy lyrics from is band. They wrote from the heart. Hardcore. Check out "Repression".
Belly of the Beast (Live):
All the same info as "Keep It" track except this was from the second night, Dec 15th.
NFB (Dallabnikufesin):
Four chords, the words; love, rain, crying, love, sweet, love, together...did I mention the word love? The magic formula that makes...A Ballad. Ecept, ours doesn't have such a happy ending (you can probably figure that out by the title). Originally, instead of the way it ends now, I wanted her to die slowly from cancer but that was bad karma, so we went for the truck. All the crying is real. We wrote it in 19 seconds and the really fucked up thing is this: what we consider to be a complete joke, other bands have based their whole careers on. Oh well, it's a free world, and everyone is allowed to suck if they want to.
P.S.
If anyone is offended by this song they're an idiot.
