CHOTTO GHETTO
RAMPAGE

The first of a new slew of releases planned for the next couple of months is coming next Tuesday from California thrash/jazz/punk/etc four-piece Chotto Ghetto. The EP, Rampage, basically destroys. Although they channel influences such as Bad Brains, Glassjaw, Suicidal Tendancies and Fishbone, their sound truly is one of the most unique I've heard from a "hardcore" band in a while.

LYRICS!

RHYTHMIC VIOLENCE

WHY ARE WE EVEN HERE
I CAN NOT WAIT TO HEAR THE MUSIC OF THE SIREN
WERE BREAKING WERE BREAKING UP
(PRE CHORUS)
WITH THESE FEELINGS IN MY IN MY HEAD
AND THESE PROBLEMS,CANT BE SAID
I CAN NOT WAIT TO HEAR THE MUSIC OF THE SIREN
(CHORUS)
AND FOR THESE QUESTIONS OF VIOLENCE
AND THESE QUESTIONS OF WAR
I CAN NOT WAIT TO APPRECIATE FOR A TIME WHEN WERE NOT ON THE FLOOR

DON'T DELAY DO BEHAVE WILL NOT REST UNTIL THE MUSIC OF THE SIREN
WERE WAKING WERE WAKING UP
FOR THE END OF THIS TOUR
IN A LAND WE KNOW SO WELL
WITH THE LIES THAT'VE BEEN COMING THROUGH

(CHORUS)
AND FOR THESE QUESTIONS OF VIOLENCE
AND THESE QUESTIONS OF WAR
I CAN NOT WAIT TO APPRECIATE FOR A TIME WHEN WERE NOT ON THE FLOOR

TINKER BELLS ARE DANCING
THERE DANCING
TINKER BELLS ARE DANCING
THERE DANCING

RHYTHM AND VIOLENCE IT IS THE SOUL OF SILENCE.

(CHORUS)
AND FOR THESE QUESTIONS OF VIOLENCE
AND THESE QUESTIONS OF WAR
I CAN NOT WAIT TO APPRECIATE FOR A TIME WHEN WERE NOT ON THE FLOOR

EMERGENCY

2*WHY CANT I BE
A LITTLE CLOSER TO EMERGENCY
WHY CANT I / THEY SEE
SO CLOSE SO CLOSE YOU CANT SEE

(BRIDGE) WHY MUST I BE
A LITTLE CLOSER A LITTLE BITTY CLOSER
AND WHY MUST I BE
A LITTLE CLOSER A LITTLE BITTY CLOSER
AND WHY MUST I BE
SO CLOSER TO EMERGENCY

(OUTRO)
BUT WE TRY TO BE BUT WE TRY TO BE
CANT YOU SEE ME , WANNA SEE ME
BUT WE TRY TO BE, BUT WE TRY TO BE
CANT YOU SEE ME, I WANNA SEE

HOLY WARS

ILL TAKE A FRONT FOR
ANOTHER UPROAR
I DO NOT CARE TO
DISRESPECT YOU

AND FOR THOSE PROBLEMS AND YOUR HOLY WARS
I WILL DO WHAT YOU WANT AND ILL SAY WHAT YOU WANT ME TO SAY

I'm thinking chaos and I'm screaming out loud
and I think I've tasted vengeance
but I know that I'm afraid of its sound

AND I WILL THINK UPON IT EVERY NIGHT AS I SIT IN MY BED
AND I WATCH YOU GO UP ON YOUR WAY

Your preacher's reaching for the sheep to comply
but I'd rather burn your bible than see a human sent off to die

AND FOR THOSE PROBLEMS AND YOUR HOLY WARS
I WILL DO WHAT YOU WANT AND ILL SAY WHAT YOU WANT ME TO SAY

I'm thinking chaos and I'm screaming out loud
now I know I've tasted vengeance
and I'm absolutely scared of its sound

AND I WILL THINK UPON IT EVERY NIGHT AS I SIT IN MY BED
AND I WATCH YOU GO UP ON YOUR WAY

ILL TAKE A BREATH FOR YOUR HOLY WARS
ILL TAKE A FRONT FOR YOUR HOLY WARS
ILL TAKE A BREATH FOR YOUR HOLY WARS
ILL TAKE A BREATH FOR YOUR HOLY WARS

SODIUM PENTHANOL: TRUTH SERUM

MILLIONS OF QUESTIONS WITH THOUGHTS IN MY MIND
I CANT BELIEVE I AM QUESTIONING WHY
I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THIS HAPPENED TODAY
I CANT BELIEVE THAT ID SEE IT THIS WAY

OPEN THE DOOR
GET OF THE GROUND
ITS NOT A PRACTICE
SO FIGURE IT OUT
I CANT BELIEVE THAT YOU DID ME THIS WAY
I CANT BELIEVE THAT THIS HAPPENED TODAY

2*YOUR WEARING A BRILLIANT DISGUISE
BUT TELLING ME NOTHING BUT LIES

NUMBERS AND REASON WONT FIGURE IT OUT
WITH BRILLIANT LOGIC THERES NOTHING TO DOUBT
LINGUISTIC RHYTHM HAS SOMETHING TO SAY
YOUR LIES ARE PERFECT IN SO MANY WAYS

BRILLIANT DISGUISE
NOTHING BUT LIES
YOU OVER RATE THINGS
NO THOUGHTS IN OUR MINDS
ITS REALLY HAPPENING SO WHAT CAN I SAY
AND SO IT HAPPENS IN SO MANY WAYS

2*YOUR WEARING A BRILLIANT DISGUISE
BUT TELLING ME NOTHING BUT LIES

YOUR TELLING ME LIES

2*YOUR WEARING A BRILLIANT DISGUISE
BUT TELLING ME NOTHING BUT LIES

NOTHING BUT LIES
