Runaround 04:54
RUNAROUND Feeling brave Feeling bold Like a star in the sky Not a care in the world Ya need another bag of Eddie Your life's gonna crumble inside that bundle Oh! When ya gonna learn They light another bone You sit and wait your turn Now you're in the rehab You say you're gonna quit We've heard it all before You're nothing but a loser You worthless piece of shit! Prime of your life You're burning out Childhood memories taken away Look at the friends you left behind you It's time to wake up inside a coffin It's not enough You need some more You can't stop now The needle is in store (repeat 4) (repeat 2) (repeat 3) CRUSH (repeat 4) And you're dusted When will you learn It's not enough Can't stop now Now what's next You feel like this (repeat 5) (repeat 5)

Stupid Dumb 03:24
STUPID DUMB! You can't accept me for what I am You won't accept us for what we feel You won't accept me for what I am Take down the boundries and see what is real You won't accept me Your foolish reasons Because I have hair And you do not Fuck all fashion and what's in season If I cut my hair Would you call it treason Stupid dumb Hide beneath your shell You can't change your style Can't accept us Afraid of what you feel No identity Find yourself Security When you understand The problems at hand Then you will find The will to change your mind No identity Find yourself Security Accept yourself Keep the scene alive Your mind is blind No self esteem Find the will To open your mind (repeat)

CONSCIENCE CAPTURED Innocence stripped away by my laughter Whisper inside yourself your censcience captured These are violent thoughts inside of me Wanna let them go and set them free Now it's you that can't sleep Cause I am there I am there to haunt you to keep you awake (repeat 1) (repeat 2) I am the thoughts you have built I am the thoughts made of guilt I am the thoughts you have built I am the thoughts made of guilt (repeat 3) I am the whispers in your head Toss and turn in your bed Hear my voice when your thinking This is you're conscience speaking Look outside Outside for help I am here inside yourself No one can hear you plea Let you go or set you free I am the whispers in your head Toss and turn in your bed Hear my voice when you're thinking This is your conscience!

(For the)HOMELESS People lying in the street No house or home for them to sleep No one helps or even tries They don't care, they stop and stare No one helps or even tries The place to dwell A cardboard box or on a bench in the park Buildings of ruin Homeless losin Squat Thier painful cries You pass them by Squat No one helps or even tries Squat They dig in trash Mental abuse There's an old lady digging in the trash She's seeking shelter I leave you with this question WHY? Buildings of ruin The homeless losin Painful cries as you pass them by There's no place No place to live You seek your life in a garbage can There's no place No place for you You seek your life in a garbage can …HOMELESS!!!

WHAT'S UP DOC? Certificates lace the walls Your last breath White coats pace the halls It's up to them Who are they to judge Human like us He's had a bad day So can't I go These things are dawning on me Your life is in their hands Doctor says you don't understand Now you've lost your will Now he says your mentally ill Doctor, Doctor, Doctor, Doctor, leave me alone Not another test I'm tired and I just want to rest Doctor can't you see All you want is my money And Blue Cross ain't gonna help Doctor, Doctor, Doctor, Doctor, Please Hey Doc you're supposed to help me! Not take all my fuckin money Let me go you got my money Blue Cross is not gonna help me!

about

Department of Coreuption New York, New York

In the late 80's early 90's Dept. C brought its metal riffs, hardcore edge and pounding drums to the NY Metro Area, including CBGBs and Lamour's scene. They lured skinheads, metal heads, skaters and punk rockers with socially conscious songs about war, healthcare, homelessness, mental illness and drug abuse.

Dept.C Reunited in 2010. Please visit us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/deptc
