Nightmares in his head Wishes he was dead Napalm in his dreams Haunted by the screams: "No!" Jungle all around Wounded crying out Riots back at home Marching hippies shout: "No!" Quest for power Attack and defend Mania for conquest It never ends Lunatics pull the strings Fueled by greed A constant struggle For supremacy We say "No!"
4.	Game Of Fools 01:00	lyrics	buy track
I don't care what you believe Just stay the hell away from me All your morals, all your rules Sick and tired of all you fools The world isn't black and white Yet you think you know what's right You know what's right You know what's wrong Well, I don't think you do You've got it all figured out At least as far as you're concerned I don't care what you believe Just stay the hell away from me Anarchists, jingoists Liberals and conservatives Full of shit politics Narrow minded hypocrites You know what's right You know what's wrong Well, I don't think you do You've got it all figured out And the rest of us… Well, the rest of us just need you to spell it out I don't care what you believe Just stay the fuck away from me All your morals, all your rules Sick and tired of all you fools The truth isn't for you to own Why don't you just leave me alone?
5.	Fight Back 01:14	lyrics	buy track
Got no money Got no rights They don't care About your life They look down From up on top And maintain order With the cops Fight back Fight… but you can't win Got no money Got no rights Justice comes At a price The system doesn't work for you It just protects the privileged few Got no money, got no choice Can't afford to have a voice Fight back Fight… but you can't win Got no money Got no rights They don't care About your life This city is run by pigs People can't afford to live Law and order, sterile streets A playground for the elite Fight back Fight… but you can't win
6.	We Don't Want It 00:56	lyrics	buy track
A poison made to keep us blind A fix to dull a razor mind A myth designed to make us weak A plan to keep us on our knees Toxic world Tainted minds Culture jail Trapped inside A leash to keep us well behaved A moral doctrine to obey A cell for us to do our time A muzzle for an open mind Toxic world Mental cage Culture jail Can't escape Toxic world Twisted game Culture jail Break the chains! We don't want it!

about

The Night Prowler is back. From the crime obsessed mind of an individual stubbornly fighting to break free of society's poison comes eight new songs in the spirit of America's greatest export: no bullshit HARDCORE music. Mining the same influences as countless others, with a particular focus on the early Boston pioneers, Night Prowler continues to live by the wisdom of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Far from embracing this approach as an excuse for stagnant thinking and a lack of creativity, it is actually a realization of the fact that art is often at it's most effective when it's in it's most straightforward, simplistic state. In other words, file this under traditional USHC.

This time around the subject matter tackled includes the madness and social unrest surrounding the Vietnam War, The United States' policy of containment in response to the scourge of Communism, self righteous politically pontificating know-it-all fools - running the gamut from head in the clouds, over educated armchair anarchists to witless jingoist kooks - urban redevelopment for the elite, mindless skinhead clones, toxic culture in general, and the fucking cops. Not to mention a look at the shocking events of November 22, 1963. As it turns out, Texas is not the reason that the President is dead, merely the location. The reason remains obscured behind mountains of redacted documents, conveniently missing evidence, classified information, and conspiracy, collusion and cover ups. And finally in the title track, a curious shift in focus from 1960's American history to the short-lived Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and the felling of the Joseph Stalin statue in Budapest.

This is the third instalment in the Night Prowler saga, and as usual, professionally manufactured, high quality cassette is the medium. For the diehard, by the diehard.
