CHINESE FIRE DRILL IS:
E. Williams -- Bass, vox
J. Reid -- Guitar, vox
J. Johnsen -- Drums
-----------------------------------
1. "What Is It?"
(Vox: Williams)
(Music: Williams)
(Lyrics: Williams)

Take a look inside yourself
And tell me what you see
Is the fear and hate your own
Or a reflection of me?

Time is constantly wasted
You never look me in the eye
What is it that you fear?
Because I'm starting to wonder why!

CHORUS:(x2)
I'm thinking about it...What Is It?
I can't decide...What Is It?

Your reputation means so much to you
Groom your identity
Turn your back when I come near
And give yourself priority

Is it my appearance 
that make you so sick?
Or is it something else?
What the fuck is it?

CHORUS(x2)
-------------------------------------------
2. "Josh the Hobo"
(Vox: Reid)
(Music: Reid)
(Lyrics: Reid)

When you head to a party or go to the woods
you might find a guy with all the goods
You could say he's a bad motherfucker
And he's probably dropping some hits

His name is Josh and he's Hobo
Why they say that no one knows
But in my opinion I wouldn't lie
He's a cool guy to hang out with

CHORUS:
Josh is the king at pulling bongs
Never stays sober for long

He's always headed to the dope spot
And he's always wearing a smile

Hobo never gets out of whack 
Never feels like he's got to hack
He's the first to drink more beer
And throw down on a pile

Whether it rains or if it snows
Nothing can stop Hobo
He's the party animal
And he's probably kicking some ass

Slayer is his favorite band
Cause Satan always gives him a hand
Give him a square and you will see
That he might not steal your grass

CHORUS
---------------------------------------
3. "Drinking on a Hangover"
(Vox: Reid)
(Music: Reid)
(Lyrics: Reid)

How come every time 
I push my luck I get shit on
There's nothing I can even say

People try to tell me that 
it's just a phase
But I would have to disagree

CHORUS:
Drinking on a hangover (x3)
Drinking until I puke again

Every bit of luck I get
Just seems to turn around
Then I can't pick up the slack

Sometime I take a risk
that don't make much sense
Then I wish I'd take it back

CHORUS

Gambling is a part of my everyday life
It's kind of hard to stay away

Life would really suck if you never took a risk
Cause things turn out OK
But getting fucked over really is no fun
The consequences are insane

----------------------------------------------------

4. "Coated Tongue"
(Vox: Williams, Reid)
(Music: Williams, Reid)
(Lyrics: Williams, Reid)

1st verse:
(Vox: Reid)
Gonna hock a lugee
Step away
Gonna clear my throat real good today
Filthy, green, slimy -- snot rag
Coughing up to your disarray

2nd verse:
(Vox: Williams)
Oral hygiene's not up to par
Now this shit has gone too far
I've got some white shit on my tongue
That's why this song is being sung
(x2)
Coated tongue 
I need a razor

3rd verse:
(Vox: Reid)
Gonna hock a lugee
Step away
Gonna clear my throat realy good today
Filthy, green, slimy -- snot rag
Coughing up to your disarray

4th verse:
(Vox: Reid)
What I hate
Mucous membranes
Spit that shit out
-------------------------------------------------------
5. "Revenge"
(Vox: Williams)
(Music: Williams)
(Lyrics: Williams)

Snorting lines and getting pissed 
I'm thinking of you
Aggression pulsing in my brain
There's nothing to do

Your ears, your eyes, your hair, your nose
And your chin
I'll cut them all off 
And wear your skin

(x2)

Rage increasing there's no kindness
That I can find
You're resinated in my thoughts 
And in my mind

I'm going to draw blood going to do it tonight
You pissed me off; what gave you the right?
Living at the expense of others
Stay in bed beneath the covers

You thought that it would be fun
to fuck me up -- now I've got a gun
Your face is burned in my mind
Rage increasing -- no kindness I can find

You promised it wouldn't be this way
I have no fucking choice -- there's nothing that you can say
But I know that I will win
When I cut you up and wear your skin

I'm going to draw blood going to do it tonight
You pissed me off; what gave you the right?
I need blood yours will suffice
Fucking with me that wasn't very nice

Preparing myself -- in bed I lay
I can see your face 24 hours a day
Your face is burned in my mind
Rage increasing -- no kindness I can find

Reconsidering -- I put my gun away
Snort another line -- today is the day
But I know that I will win
When I cut you up and wear your skin

Burning with aggression -- tonight is the night!
--------------------------------------------
6. "Mad Dog"
(Vox: Williams)
(Music: Williams)
(Lyrics: Williams)

Frothing
At the mouth
As I glance to the south

Mad dog
You have no rights
Running fast -- prepare to fight

Adrenaline pumping
Inside my brain
Chasing -- obviously insane


Approaching
Close behind
Pumped with fear inside your mind

CHORUS: (x3)
Mad dog (x2)
Running fast
Full of rabies
You're not the last 

Limbs are strewn
About the street
Mad dog hungers for fresh meat

Paying 
For your misdeeds
Canines planted with evil seeds

Fight the mad dog
Face your fear
To the death -- your way is clear

Destroy the creature
With a sledge
Expunge your fear -- you have the edge

CHORUS (x4)
------------------------------------------------------
7. "Skinner Box"
(Vox: Williams)
(Music: Williams)
(Lyrics: Williams)

I need a skinner box
Are you familiar with it?
Block out the entire world
All the boys and all the girls

CHORUS:
Take away the stimulus
So I can get some peace and quiet
To myself

I think I've had enough
Now get the fuck away 
From me

I think I've had enough of you
So lock me up inside my box
And don't be slow

I think I've had enough
Now get the fuck away 
From me

Skinner put his kid in there
How bad can it be?
I'm willing to take a chance
Because it might be my last!

CHORUS
---------------------------------------
8. "The Last Lap"
(Vox: Reid)
(Music: Reid)
(Lyrics: Reid)

The experience 
That you have on me
It doesn't make you right
It only makes you old

So why is it 
You can't listen 
To what I have to say?
I'm just trying to get ahead

CHORUS:
And you wonder why
Why I always get high
To make it through 
The last lap

I pay the bills 
Responsibility is not hard
So you can't say that 
What I do is wrong

It seems as if
You piss me off 
On purpose every day
Just to get your way

The idiots 
They put in Congress 
Try to cut me off
But they still don't know what the fuck is going on

CHORUS
-----------------------------------------------------
9. "Wake Up"
(Vox: Williams)
(Music: Williams)
(Lyrics: Williams)

Can you feel
The energy in the air?
It's power
And you can't avoid it

It's...your doomsday

Can you see
The writing on the wall?
It's obvious
But you're too blind to see
It's...your fate

CHORUS:
Empirical knowledge
Deftly avioded
Open your eyes
To see what's before you

1000 lifetimes
And all the experience
I could learn
In a single day

Can you hear
Your life imploding?
It's too late 
To make any changes
It's...your nightmare

What is real?
Not sure any more
It's control
You lost it long ago
It's...yourself

Flawlessly
Navigating the seas
You're stranded
You'll never be found
Wake Up!
----------------------------------------------------
10. "Do Without"
(Vox: Williams)
(Music: Reid)
(Lyrics: Williams)

Everything is really good
And I have no right
No right to complain
About the bullshit that just might

Not be as important
As we somtimes seem to think
I bitch today the important things
Are gone in a blink

(x2)
So keep your negativity inside 

Until it burns
And while you fry
I'll laugh because you never learned

CHORUS:
Some of the things we hate the most
Are too small to cry about
I don't want to hear your shit today
Because I can do without

CHORUS
