[Lars:] I was an atheist,
You wore the crucifix,
We put our differences to the side,
This time a lesson learned,
You told me not to mourn,
Your heart is bigger every night I'm alive.
[Tim:] Campbell, California,
Aw, please don't let me down,
Robert, I remember when you used to run the town,
I'll never forget, and I'll always be your friend,
I'll be seeing you on the other side.
[Both:] Robert, I'll see you on the other side.
[Lars:] I'm waking up to this,
The pain that you are free,
I miss the days that you walked with me,
You're a brother, a loyal friend,
Showed me how to be a man,
I love you, Robert, and I always will.
[Tim:] Campbell, California,
Aw, please don't let me down,
Robert I remember when you used to run the town,
I'll never forget, and I'll always be your friend,
I'll be seeing you on the other side.
[Both:] Robert, I'll see you on the other side.

Rancid - Intro - lyrics

The phenomena you are about to witness
Could well revolutionize your way of thinking
We are presenting startling facts and evidence
That take up where explanations leave off
Some of these revelations will very well go against things you have been taught
And perhaps believed all your life
Prepare yourself for the evidence that will follow...

Rancid - Cash, Culture And Violence - lyrics

Yeah!
She says his power is what's happening
Well I'll be sure to be respecting nothing's stopping him
And to move up for him about crushing them
And I'll kick you plain and simple it's a sin man
Leave it to the coroner to detect this
And I'm sure the U.S.A. to wreck this
He drives a tricked out tricked out tricked out Lexus
And he looks at the city says I can take this
It's high into a corner where the one leads
Well it's so *****ing high that your nose bleeds
They watch you break the nose out of respect
You broke the nose that is correct
The gates of hell are they closing in
The victim's family going condemn him
He said, "Ah don't trust them"
Yeah he'll show them
The sword, the jewel, imagination
Cash, culture and violence
Violence, wealth and knowledge
Cash, culture and violence
Oh you're ridng and you're riding on the wings of destruction
Cash, culture and violence
It's the sword, the jewel, imagination
Cash, culture and violence
Poisoned like a rat who drank some strychnine gin
How many men can say they been allow this to happen
Bureaucratic military federation
Living dead will need to rise again
The delicate skipped it heard the rumble
And the legions that are timid lord they crumble
And consequently nothing but a concrete jungle
And lord I wonder
The sword, the jewel, imagination
Cash, culture and violence
Violence, wealth and knowledge
Cash, culture and violence
Oh you're ridng and you're riding on the wings of destruction
Cash, culture and violence
It's the sword, the jewel, imagination
Cash, culture and violence
Nickels, diamonds, can't be found
There's no one, nothing, come straight down
Psychosomatic, come straight down,
You stopped cold from your nervous breakdown
Yeah!!!
The sword, the jewel, imagination
Cash, culture and violence
Violence, wealth and knowledge
Cash, culture and violence
Oh you're ridng and you're riding on the wings of destruction
Cash, culture and violence
It's the sword, the jewel, imagination
Cash, culture and violence
(Cash!!!... Culture!!! Violence!!!)

Rancid - Brixton - lyrics

I saw - a new generationcoming
Under - the smoke over Oakland
In and out - the streets are breathing
Under - the smoke over Oakland
Chaos disorder looting and loiter
From a blind man praying for some silence - for some silence
???Take a loot on the moon not a foot in the room???
My best intentions always ended in a fight - in a fight
You can send me to hell expose me I'll tell
Just take control and say what they're doing - what they're doing
Two-fifty dead the tribune read Oakland's going off like a bomb!
I saw - a new generation coming
Under - the smoke over Oakland
In and out - the streets are breathing
Under - the smoke over Oakland
Armageddon is coming so yea you better start running
Cause the big wave is coming to the shore - to the shore
No surprise that you see thru the lies
of a system rotten to the core - to the core
High tech surveilence paranoia and violence
Keeping the city at a calm - at a calm
Two-fifty dead the tribune read Oakland's going off like a bomb!
I saw - a new generation coming
Under - the smoke over Oakland
In and out - the streets are breathing
Under - the smoke over Oakland
Man it just don't seem right
You see every time I turn I around it's just the same story and it's like
It just don't seem right and I wonder is it gonna end?Hit it!
Knocking down the doors slogans on the walls
One said fight back yea the system will falL
The police came out with tear gas and flames
Chaos in the city beating them at the game
Don't pay the poll tax the headlines read
Thirty cops beaten another one dead
The fight lasted on through the Brixton night
A thousand angry looters who knew they were right -ac

Rancid - If The Kids Are United - lyrics

For once in my life I've got something to say
I wanna say it now cause now is today
A love has been given to grab and enjoy
So let's all grab and let's all enjoy
If the kids are united they will never be divided
If the kids are united they will never be divided
Just take a look around you
What do you see ?
Kids with feelings like you and me
You understand him, he'll understand you
For you are him, and he is you
If the kids are united they will never be divided
If the kids are united they will never be divided
I don't want to be rejected
I don't want to be an unknown
As long as we stand together
Well it will just be the start
If the kids are united they will never be divided [8x]

Rancid - Meteor Of War - lyrics

John brown set the tone he was a meteor in a guilty land
Abolitionist understand freedom to the despondent man

Rancid - New Dress - lyrics

Ah no!
No no!
Go!!!
With a gleaming success
With a different try
Religious indifference
Mixed between the lies/lines
Territorial company they legitimize
Persecution to form enterprise
The un is called
To buffer it all
The problem is spreading international
Like irelands belfast its coming to be
A brand new key
Working class girl puts her money to the test... yeah
Shes got a new dress
Shes gonna look her best
Yugoslavias been blown to bits... yeah
Shes got a new dress
Shes lookin to the west
Well entertain the idea of a peaceful end
? ? ? takes all ? ? ? (? ? ? some things slow down to the used-to-been ? ? ? )
Of a world which is seen the citizens die
While the innocent children play near fire now
When Im not getting through, and see evidence
Another truth, were bombing us
The time for civil war is the sooner I live
The chivalrous ones are never represented
Working class girl puts her money to the test... yeah
Shes got a new dress
Shes gonna look her best
Yugoslavias been blown to bits... yeah
Shes got a new dress
Shes lookin to the west
Allocating people for ? ? ?
The methods of the summons are dastardly
Try to cleanse the hands of the murdering
But the advantage of guilt is lingering
Shadows of soldier lay nearby
The dead ones finally reach a compromise
Destruction of war lies in bosnia
The destruction of war lies in bosnia

Rancid - 1998 - lyrics

White stones, queens 1974
Fathers talking shit
Mother*****er slam the door
Hittin the streets runnin can I take this any more?
In the reins of the trains I cuddle on the floor
Well the park bench, door and
Sleeping in the rain
Little kids sitting in the shooting gallery
Set yourself up
Rom innocence to misery
Oh if this is what you want not
The way of what they *****ing say
Hangin out with sid yet again in the usa
Sidney sidney in the usa
Lower east side 1976
Whos got the dope and
Whos turning tricks?
Should I call a user all for a fix?
Rippen off some lady just to avoid from gettin sick
But a life runs low when you got no where to go
What the ***** happens to your soul when your low
Is he comin over is he comin home
Oh mommas disappointed waiting by the phone
Yeah!!!
Hangin out with sid yet again in the usa
Sidney sidney in the usa
Same *****in shit 1998
Lifting bait, and by the mother*****ers that he hates
Hit some *****ing people by the kennedy strait
Whos got the bag gonna seal his fate?
Well the park bench, door and
Sleeping here for free
Little kids sitting in the shooting gallery
Set yourself up for manifested misery
Well this is what you want
Not the way they *****ing say
Hangin out with sid yet again in the usa
Sidney sidney in the usa

Rancid - As Wicked - lyrics

I saw an old man on the street he was in a dumpster lookin for somethin to
Eat he moved so slow like a dyin dream like a machinist who got caught in
The machine I saw this lady and she was cryin she said its hard when someone
You love is dyin I saw this kid who was about 5 years old he was in the park
All alone he was cold theres something coming around as wicked as it may seem
As wicked as anything could be I know this girl shes barely alive shes all
Haggard shes only twenty-five she said she never had a friend before I said
hey girl Ill be your friend but whos keepin score I saw this other little
Girl on the phone her mother comforts her from far from home the little girl
Was very hesitant her best friend lie dead on the pavement I always end up
Back on the hill lookin down at the landfill I always go there when I can my
Friend marty said tim youre a lucky man

Rancid - Black Derby Jacket - lyrics

Books on emerson books on thoreau
But all I read was maps of the road
And I was three thousand miles away from you
All the while I was twenty-two
What do you do to know who you are?
The best way for me to drop out on tour
You went to Upstate NxY (New York) to go to school
To secure the roll with your parents
I got a new perspective on you
All the good and bad that we went through
I know you better than you know you
'Cause I got a new perspective on you
I never needed much, I never liked to loom
But a gesture can get me from across the room
The first night we talked until while the sun caught up
Transparent people melting all around us
You left in a plane, I left in a van
Played nightclub house-parties and auditoriums
Saw Germany England Italy with my band
I know you better than your new friends
I got a new perspective on you
All the good and bad that we went through
I know you better than you know you
'Cause I got a new perspective on you
Ford Econdlane September '93
Driving 10 hours until my eyes are blurry
3 packs of Winstons and a bag of seeds
Tapes of "x" and a thermos of coffee
6 weeks on and 10 days off
Then I go back on the road for another show
This is all that I've ever done
Girl I got nothing to fall back on
"But I got a new perspective on you All the good and bad that we went through
I know you better than you know you 'Cause I got a new perspective on you"
