Nuclear Death Feel the weapons breath Radiation test Prepare for nuclear death Bombs exploding People hoping Atomic waste Will end our haste Bloodlines dropping People starving Mushroom cloud Speak right now Blood flowing People hoping Atomic waste To end our haste Bombs dropping Lifelines stopping Mushroom clouds We are dead now Smell the burning flesh Nothing is left Result of nuclear death Bombs exploding People hoping Atomic waste Will end our haste Bloodlines dropping People starving Mushroom cloud Speak right now Blood flowing People hoping Atomic waste To end our haste Bombs dropping Lifelines stopping Mushroom clouds We are dead now

Death's Head 02:31
Deaths head Late at night when your body’s asleep Masses of people coming to kill Looking for you and only you They will hunt you down to the ditch But with all your fears built up inside Now its time for you to die Deaths head coming with your head on a stake No where to run because they know where you hide Listen my children better pray, run and hide or you’ll die Late night lynching for a thrill Makers of hate, come to me now Decrepit hands stab at your mind Decapitated corpses lie in a pile With your deaths head held up high Now its time for you to die Deaths head coming with your head on a stake No where to run because they know where you hide Listen my children better pray, run and hide or you’ll die

Bummer 03:01
Bummer Wait… I think I saw something heard something move something Sitting on your ass, drop a hit smoke some grass Put your lips up to that bong pull one hit but don’t you cough The trip is starting to hit me know I should have fixed a mushy shake But it’s too late, my minds in bliss Trooping around I can’t sit down, my minds in bliss Sounds around me, nothing is around, my minds in bliss I’m lost in my mind for days on end, my minds in bliss Trooping around I can’t sit down, my minds in bliss A trail in the forest leads my mind The trail is open to the sky The journey through my mind is dark The trip and reality seem worlds apart The madness has come and seen our fears Open the door reality is near The journey through my mind is dark The trip and reality seem worlds apart

See the Signs Why can’t you see the signs. I’m trapped in a world I did not create Oppression rules all, dictated down by the state Laws and regulations to keep us down Beware the wolf pack when sirens sound Around the corner dogs to keep you in line Disobedience tolls a heavy fine The slap of Babylon is hard to take So hard to change the things in front of my face Regressive idealism is backed by the state Is it too far gone… is it too late Multinational corporations are raping the land Another brother’s death by a Klan man’s hands A poor man dies in a living hell Akin to an animal in a torture cell The rain forest is leveled for your fucking cows The time for realization is right fucking now Ozone layer fails from your hairspray When will we learn what’s at stake? Our world falls beneath are feet Why do we destroy all that we see? Why should I say goodbye To the world around me When an alternative is so easily seen Why must we sit here and wonder why As the world withers and dies? …Why?

Uncle Sam 02:46
Uncle Sam They teach you to kill, fighting for a cause Killing people you don’t know, who writes the fucking laws Say that they will pay you to die for your country But if you die before you get paid, guess who spends the money So listen here people, fight the government scam Fight against the racists including Uncle Sam Political corruption sends you off to die Americans are God sent off to crucify Pump me full of methadrine to take away the pain Send me home a junkie to the good ole USA Playing with the local accepting their disease Take it home to your wife get birth deformities Uncle Sam it’s time to die What’s the use of being alive Point your finger at the lower class We will take that finger and stick it up your ass

Fear Tomorrow Stand up and fight Don’t back down Remove your children off the ground The army has come to give you a home But it is not one you will call your own This is not the white man’s land Took it from our brother’s hands what can we do? Reservations, homelands it’s just the same Rich beneficial progress, this shit can’t be today Human rights will someday reign Soak the pores of these thirsty plains Living in fear of tomorrow Because you don’t know what tomorrow will bring for you Revolution, take your stand Together we will stand, together we will fight like men! We’re just as human as they are What gives them the right to take something away from you? Nothing! What? No fucking way! Stand up and fight Don’t back down Remove your children from the ground The army has come to give you a home But it is not one you will call your own Biko was slain by the government of South Africa Mandela was imprisoned by the government of South Africa. -No! We tried for peace but that didn’t work so now it is time to fight! African National Congress is backed by R.N.! Living in fear of tomorrow Stand up and fight, Don’t back down Remove your children off the ground The army has come to give you a home But it is not one you will call your own Always keep your head held high and stand up for what you know is right!

Animal rights! Set those animals free!

about

Two rehearsals from 1989 and 1990.
In 1989, Brian was working at Cafe Espress with Paul when Mike Clifton decided to move away from Flagstaff.
Brian mentioned to Paul that if they were looking for a new singer he was interested. Later Brian joined as the new vocalist.

Tracks 1-12 are notable because they are the last recordings to feature Paul on Guitar and are the only recordings with this specific line up.

Tracks 13-15 are the first recordings of the "Power Trio" line up of James, Chris and Brian and are the first recordings where all members shared vocal duties.
