Our Turn

Open your ears and listen to me / While I tell you about this struggling Oxnard scene / Years have gone by and some people have too / But those still here are the proud and true / I'm not saying that I started this shit / But I won't let these kids ruin it / This was a torch passed down from the best / It's up to us to decide what happens next
Nardcore, what it means to us / You can try your hardest but you can't break us / Together as one like it's always been / A brotherhood until the end

Careless

Tell me to live? Live for what? / By the looks of this place, we're all fucked / Won't waste my time with the American dream / Someone else's voice will never speak for me
Social categories, what's the use? / Just be yourself, that's the truth / Don't let these people tell you how to live / It's your life, fight for it
I'm careless, I don't give a shit / I'm not going anywhere it's not hard to admit / What's important to you - it doesn't matter to me / It won't make you happy, just wait and see
Careless and I'm not gonna change / Fuck this growing up shit, I want to stay the same / Just because I'm not the best doesn't mean I'm useless / So I'm gonna live my life the way I see fit

When Will It End?

Walking around with your chin up high / So proud of the fact that you wear a disguise / Pretending will not set you free / That apple doesn't fall far from the tree / You're here now, but where were you then? / We'll just see if you're here in the end / I'm not surprised you have no heart / Your kind, they always fall apart / The always fall apart from the start
So sick and tired of these trends / I find myself asking "when will it end?"
You're trying and trying to fit where you don't belong / You're lying and lying to keep your game moving along / But you'll soon break cuz I know your will's not strong / And I doubt that there will be a day when you will come to prove me wrong
When will it end? / Tell me, when will it end?

Nothing To Gain

You've got so far to go, you're so far from home / Just gonna go back and curl up in your hole / Think you've got it down, think you've figured it out / But you're about to find out what it's really about
Take everything you know, throw it away / Take your fashion save it for another day / Because it won't help you, I'm making it clear / In another year, you won't be here
Aren't you tired of faking? Does the act get old? / You better get a grip before you lose control / You won't gain anything and there's nothing to prove / So stop trying to fill someone else's shoes
There's nothing to gain / There's nothing to prove / Stop trying to fill someone else's shoes

It's not what it used to be and it will never be the same / It's not what you said it would be, you should all be ashamed / I know I'm not the only one who sees it, I know I'm not the only one that cares / There's no loyalty within those star-struck stares
Won't fall for your schemes / Won't get your hands on me
When are you gonna notice what's going on here? / When are you gonna start to recognize what's bringing this down? / I'm trying, but you're not listening / It's dying - what originally built this scene / But you wouldn't know the difference because you're too busy being fake / I'll tell you what's gonna happen / I won't let you posers take this place
Thought this was a movement / Thought this was a scene / It's nothing more but a social networking scheme

Tired

I wake up exhausted, I wake up lost / I wake up worrying about the cost it takes to live the life I lead / So much is needed, so much greed / I feel ashamed that I've come down to this / Getting poorer as I'm trying to get rich / Why do I do this to myself? / Why do I take the risk?
Why have I gone so damn long without earning anything for myself? / When will I find something that I think is worth my time?
I know there is more to life, I know there's more than this / But a little weight can change my fate and get me out of this shit / I'm on my grind all the time, that's the way I choose to live / Just keep pushing, keep on pushing / In the end you'll have something to give

Turn The Finger Around

You're full of excuses, you never give it straight / You've always got an answer / Always got a way to turn the finger around / It doesn't matter if you're ruining lives / You've gotta spread your lies
They've buried you and now there's no turning back / You're stuck playing catch-up / Get your life on track
What are you waiting for? It won't just happen / I know you're struggling, you're not old-fashioned / But I promise it'll bring you down / So turn it around
Turn it around / Get your life on track
