It’s your life you decide it, so many others lost their way It’s your life you decide it, it’s yours to use or throw away Your heart, it took a beating It was caught and stabbed, left bleeding Now those feelings they seem so deceiving Nothing is coming your way so you’re running away You fought, you begged, you pleaded In the end you lost just what you needed Now it is so hard to even believe in it Nothing is coming your way cause you’re running away It’s your life you decide it, so many others lost their way It’s your life you decide it, it’s yours to use or throw away All eyes were on her like so many I adored her. The way she walked, the way she talked, all like a pre-Madonna. She carried a high price, being nice couldn’t afford her, but while the stares had her cornered what she wanted just ignored her What the love once did drugs’ll never do for her. They’ll just pick her off the ground to let her go and then ignore her. Have her lost in the ruins of her Sodom and Gamorra and that’s just the order of the day You fought, you begged, you pleaded In the end you lost just what you needed Now it is so hard to even believe in it Nothing is coming your way cause you’re running away It’s your life you decide it, so many others lost their way Who’s to say you won’t be the same. Just another life gone washed down the drain It’s your life you decide it, it’s yours to use or throw away What good is your life anyway, if you nah wan use it and just throw it away

The man on top there, him haffi fall down For how him got there, him haffi fall down Him nah wan stop there, him want it all now But sooner or later even body-guards’ll let their guards down The man on top there, him haffi fall down For how him got there, him haffi fall down Him nah wan stop there, him want it all now But sooner or later even body-guards’ll let their guards down No need to worry man you’ll always get by. It’s just your people on the streets who’ll have to suffer yeah. You never go hungry and you sleep well every night. It’s just your people who can’t afford a supper And there’s one reserved for your head. One to bore through your brain til ya dead, so you don’t wake up tomorrow to cause more pain and suffering to spread. The last gift you’ll get’s made of led and it goin fly out a barrel The man on top there, him haffi fall down For how him got there, him haffi fall down Him nah wan stop there, him want it all now But sooner or later even body-guards They’ll run away, they’ll run away, they’ll run away, they’ll run away You’re only in it for your best interest. Pretending that you care when really you couldn’t care less. You’re spreading sufferation from behind a desk, and one thing is for sure these people can’t go take no more And there’s one reserved for your head. One to bore through your brain til ya dead, so you don’t wake up tomorrow to cause more pain and suffering to spread. The last gift you’ll get’s made of led and it goin fly out a barrel The man on top there, him haffi fall down For how him got there, him haffi fall down Him nah wan stop there, him want it all now But sooner or later even body-guards They’ll run away, they’ll run away, they’ll run away, they’ll run away Embrace the taste you’re in the place to be. They’re gonna turn it to waste you just wait and see. The same things you take oh so sacredly to them are worth just as much as dust. You can’t tell me that bombing is the right solution. That’s like trying to save our ozone by causing more pollution, like using gasoline to try and out a fire, that’s like trying to fix a flat by flattening another tire. It sounds silly I know but y’all look silly to me, like a bunch of little kids acting ridiculously. Do something about your 40 million illiterate and I mean that literally you got more problems in Little Italy, Sadam was just Little League The man on top there, him haffi fall down For how him got there, him haffi fall down Him nah wan stop there, him want it all now But sooner or later even body-guards’ll let their guards down The man on top there, him haffi fall down For how him got there, him haffi fall down Him nah wan stop there, him want it all now But sooner or later even body-guards They’ll run away, they’ll run away, they’ll run away, they’ll run away They’ll run away, they’ll run away, they’ll run away, they’ll run away

about

Orange Grove Den Haag, Netherlands

Many tours and a few albums later, OG is finally at their moment of truth. Somebody close to the band fills us in: “They are about to drop something big and heavy, so naturally it will make a very loud thumping noise and even people who were not paying attention will hear it.” ... more
