FISTFUL OF STEEL
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Huh!
Check it...uggh!
Silence
Something about silence makes me sick
'Cause silence can be violent
Sorta like a slit wrist

If the vibe was suicide
Then you would push da button
But if ya bowin' down
Then let me do the cuttin'

Some speak the sounds
But speak in silent voices
Like radio is silent
Though it fills the air with noises
Its transmissions bring submission
As ya mold to the unreal
And mad boy grips the microphone
Wit' a fistful of steel
Yeah...and mad mad boy grips the microphone
Wit' a fistful of steel

Wit' a fistful of steel
('Cause I know the power of the question)
Wit' a fistful of steel
Wit' a fistful of steel
(And I won't stop cause I know the power of the question)

It's time to flow like the fluid in ya veins
If ya will it, I will spill it
And ya out just as quick as ya came
Not a silent one
But a defiant one
Never a normal one
'Cause I'm the bastard son
With the visions of the move
Vocals not to soothe
But to ignite and put in flight
My sense of militance
Groovin', playin' this game called survival
The status, the elite, the enemy, the rival
The silent sheep slippin', riffin', trippin'
Give ya a glimpse of the reality I'm grippin'
Steppin' into the jam and I'm slammin' like Shaquille
Mad boy grips the microphone
Wit' a fistful of steel
Yeah...and mad boy grips the microphone
Wit' a fistful of steel

Wit' a fistful of steel
('Cause I know the power of the question)
Wit' a fistful of steel
Wit' a fistful of steel
(And I won't stop 'cause I know the power of the question)
Ahh shit

And I won't stop 'cause I know the power of the question

And if the vibe was suicide
Then you would push da button
But if ya bowin' down
Then let me do the cuttin`
Yeah!
Come on!

A .44 full of bullets
Face full of pale
Eyes full of empty
A stare full of nails
The roulette ball, rolls along on the wheel
A mind full of fire
And a fistful of steel

And if the vibe was suicide
Then you would push da button
But if ya bowin' down
Then let me do the cuttin'

Yeah! Wit' a fistful of steel!
Come on!
Uggh!
Wit' a fistful of steel!
Uggh!

Has it been 7 years? I'm gettin' sooo old.

No matter how hard you try, you can't stop us now
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop us now

We're the renegades of this atomic age
This atomic age of renegades
Renegades of this atomic age
This atomic age of renegades

Since the Prehistoric ages and the days of ancient Greece
Right down through the Middle Ages
Planet earth kept going through changes
And then no renaissance came, and times continued to change
Nothing stayed the same, but there were always renegades
Like Chief Sitting Bull, Tom Paine
Dr. Martin Luther King, Malcom X
They were renegades of their time and age
So many renegades

We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk

From a different solar system many many galaxies away
We are the force of another creation
A new musical revelation
And we're on this musical mission to help the others listen
And groove from land to land singin' electronic chants like
Zulu nation
Revelations
Destroy our nations
Destroy our nations
Destroy our nations
Destroy our nations
Destroy our nations
Destroy our nations

Now renegades are the people with their own philosophies
They change the course of history
Everyday people like you and me
We're the renegades we're the people
With our own philosophies
We change the course of history
Everyday people like you and me
C'mon
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk

Poppin', sockin', rockin' puttin' a side of hip-hop
Because where we're goin' there ain't no stoppin'
Poppin', sockin', puttin' a side of hip-hop
Because where we're goin' there ain't no stoppin'
Poppin', sockin', rockin' puttin' a side of hip-hop
'Cause we're poppin', sockin', rockin' puttin' a side of hip-hop
Poppin', sockin', rockin' puttin' a side of hip-hop

We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk

We're teachers of the funk
And not of empty popping
We're blessed with the force and the sight of electronics
With the bass, and the treble the horns and our vocals
'Cause everytime I pop into the beat we get fresh

There was a time when our music
Was something called the Bay Street beat
People would gather from all around
To get down to the big sound
You had to be a renegade in those days
To take a man to the dance floor

Say jam sucka
Say jam sucka
Say groove sucka
Say groove sucka
Say dance sucka
Say dance sucka
Now move sucka
Now move sucka

We're the renegades of funk

Would be nice to hear some new material though. Maybe RATM and Soundgarden can reunite and tour together! Audioslave is good... but, eh.. its not the same.

Tickets go on sale this saturday. Who's with me?

There's a lot of good artists there.

I'll never do one those festival type concerts again. I'm just too old to be that inconvenienced. Last time, at the Virgin Music Festival, we missed so many different bands trying to find a place to park, then standing in line for hours for drinks/food/ATM. Then having drunk people stepping on our blanket and spilling beer. At the end of the night is was far too dangerous to sit on the blanket, you had to stand for fear of getting stepped on or having beer spilled in your hair. No thanks.

Three things against me going...

(1). Its in California, land of the fruits & nuts.

(2). Sitting on the ground is just too much anymore...I'm with Heather on my experiences in these types of events...

(3). If I want to hear rants between songs and shows, I'll just watch the Emmys/Oscars/I love myself/I know better than you shows on tv...

great band though...mixed in with some losers...

It was probably the same show I was at... Helmet was supposed to open but the lead singer got food poisoning from Pizza Hut... so Rasputina opened instead. That was cool. When Manson tore up the Bible and threw it into the crowd and people started lighting the pages on fire... that was about the point that I felt like it was my last night on earth. biggrin.gif

The first show I saw of theirs was at Hammerjacks, when Smells Like Children came out.

I saw Mechanical Animals and Last Tour on Earth when I lived in Orlando. One of the most memorable parts was the beginning (look up The Inaugeration of the Mechanical Christ on the Last Tour album or DVD)

It was always fun to watch them peform... especially M.W. Gacy.
