Bang "Future Shock" (lyrics found)
* From album: "Bang"


Can you feel those tidal waves
Slashing knives of endless change
Screwing up your patterned lives
Raining down wretched strife

Hashish dreams - Junkie screams
Crocodile tears - Escape your fears

Apathetic nine to five
Cashing paychecks to survive
Vandals lurking in the streets
Gloat behind their worthless feats

Hashish dreams - Junkie screams
Crocodile tears - Escape your fears
Crying - dying
Crying - dying

Teenyboppers idolize
Cash and carry packaged highs
Figurines stalk your space
Home is nothing but a place

Fearing ours will be their fate
Those across the water wait
Creeping tides mount their shore
Ominous rumble groans to roar

Hashish dreams - Junkie screams
Crocodile tears - Escape your fears
Crying - dying
 Crying - dying 
Future Shock

Bang "Redman" (lyrics found)
* From album: "Bang"

Nations died and lost their land
In Sacred grounds turned to sand
Our leaders's words, cries of their kin
Swirl around us adrift in the wind

A weapon of war invaded mankind
Fatal germs killed all left behind
Sparing those few who fled under ground
Unlike the Redman would never be found

We all need a wishing star
A spirit to tell us who we are
Our future's unclear; it's baked in the clay
Give us the chance to start a new day
Start a new day

Why we were spared we may never know
We're given a choice a gun or a bow
Beneath our feet the survivors have died
Again through the calm of nature we ride

We all need a wishing star
A spirit to tell us who we are
Our future's unclear it's baked in the clay
We have the chance to start a new day
Start a new day

Bang "The Queen" (lyrics found)
* From album: "Bang"


Yesterday she ran her house
Milking bashful buyers
When money creased her waiting hand
She catered strange desires

Her splendid easy woman
Would gladly grace your side
Beneath their creamy ecstasy
Revealing scars they hide

Beneath the glow of a neon sky
She vowed to find her fame
No matter what the price may be
She'd do it just the same
No matter what the price may be
She'd do it just the same

Then one day a mark appeared
Set for any price
Requesting service so bizarre
No one could he entice

The Queen alone could see delight
In his twisted head
With racing pulse and burning thighs
She led him to her bed

[Beneath the glow of a neon sky
She vowed to find her fame
No matter what the price may be
She'd do it just the same

And now we watch her closing door
Her dream will soon take wing
Her need for fame is over now
The Queen has found a King] 2x

Her need for fame is over now
The Queen has found a King

Bang "Come With Me" (lyrics found)
* From album: "Bang"


Everyone come with me
Leave your world, come and see
Do the things you like to do
Come with me for eternity
No pain, can't go insane
No work, can't go berserk
Just happy days, no worldly ways 
Never eat, never sleep

Explore a path of peaceful dreams
Forget those dreary bummer scenes
No evil eye, no need to lie
In simple ways we'll live our days
No pain, can't go insane
No work, can't go berserk
Just happy days, no worldly ways
Never eat, never sleep

[Friends are gone, it won't be long
Leave your world, come with me] 2x

Everyone come with me
Leave your world, come and see
Do the things you like to do
Come with me for eternity
No pain, can't go insane
No work, can't go berserk
Just happy days, no worldly ways 
Never eat, never sleep

Come with me
Everyone
Come with me
[Everyone come with me] 2x
Come with me
