Among the dead among the dead
Among the dead we will rise
Among the dead among the dead
Among the dead we will rise
Verse
If you count me out you better think again you better realize now that I ain't stopping
This is where I start this is where I begin this is where you stop this is where you end
Woke up in a downtown street we were crashed out living in rubble
Broken bones broken homes broken kid?s living in the jungle
Nineteen eighty seven in the East bay cold as hell it's the middle of summer
Me and Jesse and Matt and Dave Mello he was the drummer
My momma said you better watch your back boy keep your head up and be a shot blocker
On the outside looking in with the freaks and the thugs and all the punk rockers
They say I?m outta step in this world so step back man I ain't gonna warn ya
Here's a message for the disenfranchised of East bay California
Among the dead among the dead
Among the dead we will rise
Among the dead among the dead
Among the dead we will rise
Bridge
Verse
Let me tell you something about the East bay it's California but it ain?t sunny
All my dreams came crashing down I?m outta home my street got no money
And got no band and got no one around and all the music is gone man
No where to sleep on the ground wondering what the fuck went wrong now
Know what it?s like to walk among the dead I?m alone in total isolation
No ones there this is my final destination
Old man preaching bout war and peace and the path and total damnation
I always seem to get up get out and survive in every situation
Among the dead among the dead
Among the dead we will rise
Among the dead among the dead
Among the dead we will rise
Bridge
Verse
Than one day Matt says let's get the band together let's do this one more time son
I?m ok that sounds good let?s give it a try let?s give it one more run
We got garage we got drums we got guitars we got the songs
We got the songs we got the songs we got the songs all night long
Among the dead among the dead
Among the dead we will rise
Among the dead among the dead
Among the dead we will rise
