Join The Army Lyrics


Got a story to tell, now listen up real well
Pay attention this way to what I've got to say
Took it to the street, rap to the people we meet
Now we're rocking out hard to the suicidal beat
Tried to deny our right, so we put up a fight
Just doing our thing, they tried to call it a gang
Saw the way we look and that's all that it took
That's all they wrote, they had their scapegoat
Dressed down, Homeboyz
Minority, join the army
We're the few, we're the proud, we like to jam it loud
The music we play won't have it any other way
We're armed to the bone with our music and our tone
Recruiting on the street to the sound of our beat
Growing larger everyday and every time we play
Don't need no college plan, we're just a hard rocking band
We like our music to please but we ain't gonna appease
No pressure's too much to make us change our touch

Hardcore
[Incomprehensible]Join the army
Don't be no fool, don't let your prejudice rule
Don't judge by your fear, judge us by your ear
Can't believe every word of every story you've heard
Just play the song, I know you'll start to rock along
Well I don't care 'bout the clothes you wear
It's the size of your heart, not the length of your hair
Don't make no difference to me, the color that you be
Black, white or brown, it's all the same to me
Join the army, join the army
Join the army, join the army
The suicidal army
Well, if you still don't believe and still believe
Do what you must do but this ain't the place for you
You got no right but if you start a fight
We'll be rocking your head but with our fists instead
I'll fight it with the band, right down till the end
Ask anyone I've met, this ain't no idle threat
Don't flap nor lip and it won't come to hip
But as for me, I'm down with the army
New York, London, Venice
[Incomprehensible]Join the army
Suicidal riot, join the army
Suicidal riot, join the army
Suicidal riot, join the army
Suicidal riot, I don't want you to join the army, yes dear

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Suicidal Tendencies is an American crossover thrash band formed in 1982 in Venice, California. Sometimes regarded as the progenitors of skate punk, they later incorporated significant heavy metal and thrash elements. The group, led by Mike Muir ("Cyco Miko"), had a rough start that included being voted "Worst Band/Biggest Assholes" in Flipside in 1982. Using the opposition to fuel creativity, they quickly gained a following, performing larger and larger gigs. As the size grew, so did the rumors of gang relations and violence (eventually leading to a Los Angeles ban on public performances by Suicidal Tendencies). The band signed with the indie label Frontier Records and issued their classic self-titled debut in 1983. The album was the best-selling hardcore album up to that point. It included many memorable songs. The video for Institutionalized was one of the first hardcore punk videos to receive substantial airplay on MTV. It was also used in the Emilio Estevez cult classic movie Repo Man and an episode for the hit TV show Miami Vice (which included a cameo appearance by the group). Recently the track has been used in the blockbuster movie Iron Man. Their song Possessed to Skate solidified their status as a premier skate punk band. How Will I Laugh Tomorrow has become one of the band's most acclaimed songs. After lineup changes and side projects, including the Infectious Grooves, they have continued to release albums and (as of 2004) are working on a new album and a Live-DVD to be titled "Return to Venice."
Former Bass player Robert Trujillo currently plays for Metallica and former guitar player Rocky George joined Fishbone.
