"Collision Course," "Honor Is All We Know," & "Evil's My Friend" (Rancid)



 "Collision Course"


[Tim:]
Did I mention to you about my punk rock radio?
Words don't apply on my push it up stereo
Transistor party, but the fader's right
They're gonna speak, come and blast it on a reggae, all the night

Whoo!

Sham 69, roots reggae on my temple
With a 45 record too, on the turntable
With the turntable kicking, man, it took away, yeah
When the sun come a rising and let the song begins

Singing!

We're on a mission, got no remorse
One hundred miles an hour, collision course

[Lars:]
With the glow of the light on my radio dial
For better beats from the record file
I dropped the needle watching creetons drop
While I'm playing Pac-man at the record shop

Deep in the night and the chaos comes
My rhythm gets driven by the beat of drums
45, 33 RPM,
Hey, Mr DJ, let us in!

[Tim:]
Check it!

We're on a mission, got no remorse
One hundred miles an hour, collision course

We're on a mission, got no remorse
One hundred miles an hour

We're on a mission, got no remorse
One hundred miles an hour, collision course 
 
 

"Honor Is All We Know"


Don’t change a goddamn thing, hold your head up high
When the hard times come, we have the strength to defy
Believe in yourself, let the arrow leave the bow
Honor is among us, honor is all we know

The night has come and we no longer see
Better days around the corner, for you and me
Receive the horizon dawn’s golden glow
Honor is among us, honor is all we know

It takes courage to make it in this land
So don’t forget, but forgive every man
And prosperity’s river it will forever flow
Honor is among us, honor is all we know 
 
 
"Evil's My Friend"

Crime epidemic – Never going down
Unsympathetic – Put you in the ground
System systematic – Survival in the town
Only if you let it – Gonna drag you down

Evil’s my friend
Evil’s my friend again

If you wanna go and get ‘em – you better stand and fight
You’re never gonna let ‘em – take away your right
And the bad ones forget them – Running to the night
And the good ones regret them – Ready to ignite

Evil’s my friend
Evil’s my friend again
