We're starting to act so really lame
Blinded by their X-Games
Lets not forget what this is for
This is a gosh darn SKATE WAR
It's been a long struggle
Between us and them
One side the pigs
On the other - my friends
Forget ESPN and mister Tony Hawk
Remember all the years
We all gosh darn fought
They got the kids doped up on video games
All the kids really look the same
Let's not forget what this is for
This is a gosh darn SKATE WAR
Xtreme Equals Mainstream (x2)
Forget switch crooks, and $80 jeans
Cuz I still remember what this means to me
Xtreme Equals Mainstream (x2)

Pretty Melodic Acoustic
The kids came to see you
But all you did was complain
If this stuff stinks sucks so bad
Why does your band still play?
PMA!
Forget all their neg-a-tivity
Forget it!
Their lyrics do nothing for me
Nothing for me!
Now more than ever we neeeeeeed…
PMA!
Time to start having fun
And quit whining about things
Now’s the time to
Put an end to it (stop it, stop it!)
Take a look around
What do you see?
A scene built upon
Positivity!
JUD JUD
Chop chop chop chop choppin' broccoli

Literally!
Illiterati!
The big chain bookstores
Big business, nothing more
Stacks are full(yeah) full of IT
Best sellers
Marketing blitz
Shallow books for empty minds
Literally Illiterati (tough guy)
The stuff they sell
Is full of IT
Literally Illiterati (tough guy)
Feeding a nation of idiots
An entire nation of illiterates

Revenge of the unplugged
Armed with banjos and tablature
A quiet acoustic medley, my sir
*Cellists, guitarists and polyphoniacs
Feel the wrath of our *unplugged attack
Don't got time for your dirty looks
Too busy honing our favorite hooks
*Violists, kazooists and polyphoniacs
Feel the wrath of our *unplugged attack

my desire to read always really rages
*happiness increases
as i advance the pages
my eyes really bleed - my brain totally swells
*on acoustic concepts -
my brain fully dwells
my brain fully swells!
*no holding back the nook attack
electricity is the only thing i lack
*no holding back the nook attack
so many nooks, i don't want to slack
no!
my eyes really bleed - my brain totally swells
*on acoustic concepts -
my brain fully dwells

Shackle Me Not!

They built a concrete casket
But we'll grind it down
You can always find us
Wherever concrete is found
Grinding down their system
One curb at a time
Shackle me not!
Whoa Shackle me not! (x2)
Grinding down their system
One curb at a time
Shackle me not!

5. SHAM(E)
They're a sham / It's a shame - GO!
They're a sham (x2)*
Trying to fool as many kids as they can
They're a sham (x2)*
The stuff they pull is really really sad
Only in it for themselves
Only doing it for the fame*
I think all that stuff
Is so really lame
"And until they get called on their stuff
They'll continue their silly ways"
I think all that stuff
Is so really lame! (x2)
Kids don't know that they're being played
It's a shame (x2)*
DIY reduced to a trendy game
Only in it for themselves
Only doing it for the fame*
I think all that stuff
Is so really lame

we should just sell out so the kids can take
the reins of the scene...
let's keep the scene fresh
weeding out the stale ideas
(to) give the new kids a chance
new labels and new bands
the reins will rest in new bands
same old stuff will be gone when the kids come along
when the new kids come along
(us) old fogies have had our turn
now its time for the new kids to learn
and put their mark on the scene

Drop - The Gong! Now...
I wanna skate those benches
I wanna skate those stairs
I wanna skate those ledges
You lost your job?
I don't really care!
Offices are empty
And a wide-open courtyard
Your lunchtime plaza
Is now my skate park
*Drop - The - Gong
(Drop it now!)
Your useless wasteland
Is now my playground

John Keegan
Michel Foucault
George Orwell
And Hemingway
Spend the whole day
Reading history books
I just can't / Get enough
TV rots my brain
(While) perspective is gained
By reading a book or two
Once a doozer
Now I'm a total "loser"
I will stick / With my books
Whether its history
Or IR theory
In each book / I'm enthralled
Even if I had
All the time / in the world
I doubt I could
Read all the books
That I should

Bring my Pick Back!

here we go again - let's put it to an end!
bring my pick back so i can shred again
this time we'll do it for all the wrong reasons
all the shredders will hop on board
and pick guards will be put on again
for one year it will be the rage
and then next year it will be passé
bring my pick back so i can shred again

I can't explain
How it pleases me
To open a book
And begin to Read
Sure I'm a nerd
But can't change who I am
I love to read
Why should you give a damn
About what I do
And How I spend my time
Its my choice
And it's a big part of my life
When I was young I thought
school SUCKED
But then Something changed
I started to read
More - and - began to use my brain
(what little there is left of it)
Upon graduation
My infatuation
With learning
Only grew

Acoustic Deth San Diego, California
Created by Chris Graber (Scholastic Deth bassist and sometimes vocalist) just for the fun of it. We joked about getting older and bringing things down a notch. So I did. Created with GarageBand on my iphone using acoustic guitar, cello, viola, pens, hats as drums, and various other implements... ... more
