Ruby Soho Lyric - Rancid

Echoes of reggae comin' through my bedroom wall
Havin' a party up next door but I'm sittin' here all alone
Two lovers in the bedroom and the other started to shout
All I got is this blank stare and that don't carry no cloud at all..

Destination unknown..
Ruby.. Ruby.. Ruby Soho

He's singin and she's there to lend a hand
He's seen his name on the marquee but she will never understand
Once again he's leavin' and she's there with a tear in her eye
Embraces with a warm gesture it's time, time to say goodbye..

Ruby's heart ain't beatin' cuz she knows the feelin' is gone
She's not the only one who knew, there's somethin' wrong
Her lover's in the distance as she wipes a tear from her eye
Fading out, she disappears, it's time, time to say goodbye..

Fall Back Down Lyric - Rancid

Don't worry about me, I'm gonna make it alright
Got my enemies crossed out in my sight
I take a bad situation gonna make it right
In the shadows of darkness I stand in the light
You see it's our style to keep it true
I've had a bad year, a lot to go through
I've been knocked out, beat down, black and blue
She's not the one coming back for you..

If I fall back down, you're gonna help me back up again!
If I fall back down, you're gonna be my friend..

It takes disaster to learn a lesson
You're gonna make it through the darkest night
Some people betray one and cause treason
We're gonna make everything alright..

Well the worst of times, now they don't phase me
Even if I look and act really crazy
I went way down, she betrayed me
Now my vision is no longer hazy
I'm very lucky to have my crew
They stood by me when she flew
I've been knocked out, beat down, black and blue
She's not the one coming back for you..

Memphis Lyric - Rancid

I've lived my whole life, made mistakes from the get-go
Street kid from the start, right? no regrets no!
I do what I want, yeah.. cuz I said so!
No sleep for the wicked, right? no, bet no!
Rollin' with the punk rockers, I ain't lyin'!
Fake guns, fake bands, fake punk, I ain't buyin'!
Hit the road, all I know rock and roll ain't dyin'
About fifteen deep we hit the streets low ridin'..

By the time we made it to New Orleans, it must have been half past three
By the time we made it to Memphis, we were crazy..
Tonight, you're our blanket and you're gonna keep us warm
Tonight, protect us from the storm..

Huge black clouds and troubled time's, they're a comin' round
Oh Lord, let me go through another round
Tuesday night is when the storm's gonna settle down
Had a glance, circumstance, stone cold, trouble bound
She's the one, all alone, I come lookin'
Smoke and mirrors as I watch, aw! that girl was trippin'
It's no fun, lost again to have your heart broken
Greetings from a world that is built on hustling

Embrace the falling when they have failed.. (when they have failed)
Every road can lead ya.. straight down to fukin' h*ll!
Embrace the falling when they have failed.. (when they have failed)
Now every road can take ya.. straight down to h*ll..

Don't want nothin' here, everyone straight trippin'
Happier times are gone, past starts slippin'
This will be enough to keep me on the road livin'
Good, every night in a different city I'll be sleepin'
Let me know, here we go, met a girl named Lola
Is she here? is she there? drinkin' Jack and cola
She says, "Tim, where ya been? I got somethin' to show ya!"
Lola fired off her clothes and started rock and rollin'

Arrested In Shanghai Lyric - Rancid

They assured me I was guilty but I committed no crime
They said confessions bring lenience so they put me on the line
So I protest the massacres at the Tienanmen Square
My friends said yo, stay away man, you better not go fukin' back there!

They wouldn't let me write about my opinions about the state
And the freedom of expression they would never tolerate
And the military secrets that I never did steal
I didn't start no violence, and there was nobody that I killed!

So I have a clear account of all the abuses of power
And the memories of my homeland have now gone sour
And I only got one weapon, it's so plain for me to see
My only weapon I call poetry..

And I don't even know why, the truth seems like a lie
In my cell there is no sky, when I was arrested in Shanghai

Into wealth and privilege, huh, I was not born
But a devotion to freedom and liberty, I was sworn
So every emotion is studied, watched, and controlled 
Who gets paid, who gets disciplined, who gets rolled?!

A transmitter beams my coordinates anywhere on earth
And radio waves, surveillance, satellite burst
Open up your skull and let some knowledge come in
Crack open the cranium and let awareness begin..

Time Bomb Lyric - Rancid

If you wanna make a move then you better come in
It's just the ability to reason that wears so thin
Livin' and dyin' and the stories that are true
Secrets to a good life's knowin' when you're through..

Black coat, white shoes, black hat, cadillac..
Yeah.. the boy's a time bomb..
Black coat, white shoes, black hat, cadillac..
Yeah.. the boy's a time bomb..

Well, he's back in the hole where they got him livin'
Like a rat but he's smarter than that nine lives
Like a cat 15 years old take him to the youth authority home
First thing you learn is that you got to make it in this world alone..

Now he's gotten out, he's gotten free, he's gotta go, gotta car
He's only 21 years old, he's runnin' numbers from the bar
His pager's beepin', he's got in deep in
Whatever he can move on in you know that kid's a creepin'..

Tears come from the razor that's been tattooed below his eye
His mother cries, she knows that he is strong enough
To die he's rollin' in the Cadillac, it's midnight sunroof is down
Three shots rung out the hero's dead, the new king is crowned..

Oh... time bomb..

Radio Lyric - NOFX & Rancid

Never fell in love 'til I fell in love with you
Never know what a good time was 'til I had a good time with you
If you wanna get the feelin' and you wanna get it right..
Then the music gotta be loud
For when the music hits mean I feel no pain at all..

Here it is.. here I am.. turn it up fukin' loud!

Radio, radio, radio, radio, radio, radio...
When I've got the music I got a place to go
Radio, radio, radio, radio, radio, radio...
When I've got the music it means I got a place I can go..

Warm summer night I was drinking with my dad
He tried to give me the love that I never had
But he gave more love to his bottle of wine
So, I had to go out and find love of another kind..

Radio clash, magnificent 7
I was a choir boy, you showed me no heaven!
Two idols surely lost
No remorse ignoring the cost..
