I Want Out 02:28
I Want Out I got no place here tonight And you know I just don't feel alright Shadows creeping in and up the walls They want what I got – And they'll take it all I Want Out - I Want Out - I Want Out - of this hell I Want Out - I Want Out - I Want Out – this ain't going to well I feel my time here's complete All I learned from you is – how to hate Look in your eyes and I see no win Isolated for a will – That's caving in I Want Out - I Want Out - I Want Out - of this cell I Want Out - I Want Out - I Want Out – this ain't going to well -Breakdown -Lead If I get in my way tonight Well I know I will lose this fight I'm too broken and my will is worn A useless battle since the - day I was born And I Want Out - I Want Out - I Want Out - of this hell I Want Out - I Want Out - I Want Out - of this cell I Want Out - I Want Out - I Want Out I can't stand myself

Room To Improve Intro Chorus- 4x You've got room –you've got room Room to improve Loren built a life out of things she trusts Going it alone, doing what I must The things you learn every step of the way The worlds a mess and in a moral decay Easy to point and lay others to blame But that won't do shit and things still won't change It starts with you and it starts with me Take a look inside yourself if you agree But it isn't always easy to see... Chorus- 4x Johnny was a lad, he was quite the rebel Always breaking rules and he was always in trouble A life of crime seemed to be his ambition One day he went to far and now he's in prison Johnny knew he had to change his ways Or better yet he should pretend to behave Everywhere he went his Bible would go He went before parole and put on his show The Commission told him here's what we know... Chorus- 4x Intro (muted verse) Well I thought I knew a thing or two About that thing we all like to do We had a lot a liquor and we had a lot of fun But when it was over and we were all done I was feeling cocky and I had to know So there's one more thing before I go I asked and I smiled so modestly She just stared and said to me I have to tell you honestly... Chorus– 4x and 4x fade out

Jumped 04:43
JUMPED I didn't know you were so troubled I didn't know you were so frail It seemed every time I saw you, you lit up the room Don't know how I didn't know when were locked in that same jail Cause your smile - really hid your pain And no one can make your demons – just go away Oh I wish I could have caught you 'fore you fell But the truth is... I probably would have jumped myself. Don't know where I was when I heard the news But I remember what I felt Like a ton of bricks and a wave of disbelief It had to be somebody else I broke down but I couldn't shed a tear Somehow jealous that you're gone But deep inside festered what I fear If it happened to you it can happen to anyone Your beautiful smile - really hid your pain And no one can make your demons – just go away Oh I wish I could have caught you 'fore you fell But the truth is... I probably would have jumped myself (bridge) And everyone who stood around and wondered why Well just ask them - Do you have the guts try (these lines borrowed from and used by permission from Dani M.) Before she hit the ground, she never felt more alive Suicide at 25 They didn't know we were so troubled They didn't know we were so frail It's not written on our faces when we walk in the room The tears of a clown, to which there's no avail Cause a smile - can really hide the pain And no one can make these demons – just go away Oh I wish I could have caught you 'fore you fell But the truth is... I probably would havejumped myself. (outro) The truth is... yeah the truth is ... I probably would have jumped myself The truth is... yeah the truth is ... I probably would have jumped myself

The Dark 03:28
The Dark There was a time when I was broken and confused I didn't know what I didyesterday and I sure as hell didn't know what I would do Come tomorrow --- or any othertime Seemed I was faulty by design When you hit bottom there'snowhere to go but up Sometimes that's hard to seewithout a reason to – not – give – up There almost was no happy endingto this song But just in time you came along Cause I – I was in the dark I had lost all my hope – To carry on I had a gun in my mouth And it was there – Way too many times But it was just the dark The dark before the dawn Yeah you have to hold on It's always darkest 'fore the dawn Now I know it's the thing thatwe hold dear That makes us who we are and helps get us through thesefears Every beat of our drums, everymoment we breathe We take in more then we leave I know I wouldn't be here if Ididn't get that chance If you don't really know meyou'd think this was some song and dance I can stand here doing what I do And it's all because of you___ But it was just the dark The dark before the dawn Yeah you have to hold on It's always darkest 'fore the dawn

Fear and the sheeple It's how they control ignorant people Lies, misinformation It keeps you keeping watch at your station They tell you what you want to fear It's not misunderstood When they got you by the hate It's all for the good Your not safe and your liberties are going Listen up, they need you knowing what their showing There's a war on your religion and they're coming for your guns If you still got some kind of health, then you better run. They tell you what you want to fear It's not misunderstood Fear mongers and spin doctors It's all for the good Whatever happened to what we could believe Was this always the way and were we just too blind to see Cause I just want to tear it down and rebuild Leaving nothing up there on that hill Lead Repeat 1st verse and chorus

Mr. Mogul 02:33
Don't care for anybody but yourself Gonna take what you think you need Stepping stones take you to the top Lookin the mirror and tell me what you see Cause you're a factory farm for human despair Dirty hands of blood red greed Another day, another lost hope Perpetuate the suicide machine To you enough is never enough is never enough Using people like they're your property So set in your ways Longing for the era of slavery You say that those were the days It's all about money – all about profit Civil liberties to hell No values for less fortunate lives Your Jesus taught you well To you enough is never enough is never enough

Tony Cortez and Carl Valdez , original members of legendary Nardcore band Ill Repute, are teaming up again for the first time in over 20 years, with local icons Randy Miller and Michael 'MoJo" Jones, to form a new band with an "old school punk" sound.

Tony was most recently the lead singer for the punk band "The Loads". He's affectionately known as the "Mayor of Nardcore" and has kept the scene alive with dedication and a punk rock edge. His lyrics are intelligent and reek of emotion.

Carl spent the last 20+ years honing his skills performing in Scottish bagpipe bands, dixieland jazz bands, and concert bands. He also gives back by providing music lessons to kids of all ages.

Randy, extreme lead guitarist, led Nardcore band "Global Warning" and Ventura's hard rock band "Mayors of Garratt". He brings along guitar styles that cut straight through the gut.

MoJo, bassist extraordinaire, fills the room from the bottom, adding decades of experience with swing band Jumpin' Jimes, cowpunk BYO artist Jackass, and local favorites La Vonettes.

Each member brings a unique flavor and creativity that will captivate fans of all eras of punk rock.
