http://web.archive.org/web/20010505053147/shihad.com/album_lyrics.html

Here are the lyrics for "The General Electric"
Now you can sing - along like a proffessional

MY MIND'S SEDATE

I trust the police and the government
suck down corporate sentiment
home for dinner, watch TV
caught in the middle of a shopping spree

my minds sedate x8

home entertainment and a boring car
(my minds sedate)
If I try to run, I wouldnt get that far
(my minds sedate)
extract the venom, spit it over the shoulder
(my minds sedate)
I'm a victim of a 'sally make-over'

my minds sedate x8

you cant run away
if you dont have a brain
deal with it

It's alright...is it?

I trust the police and the government
suck down corporate sentiment
home for dinner, watch TV
caught in the middle of a shopping spree

my minds sedate x8

you cant run away
if you dont have a brain
deal with it

you gotta deal with this
my minds sedate

THE GENERAL ELECTRIC

You better run
as fast as you can
'cause this passenger's not a happy man
start running just as fast as you can

You say, you need a friend
hey, well so do I
but this passenger's just passing by
passenger is just passing
bye.

At your age and stage
you should understand
but you don't care. you got a master plan
fuck, fuck, fuck 'em all and take what you can

A freezing cold stare
and a flick in the eye
passengers just passing by
passengers just passing by
passengers just passing by

To walk on water you'd sink in the ice x4

You're holding everything inside, you're holding everything inside x2
Don't it feel good just to be alive still holding everything inside

You don't know what you want
so you take what you can
still don't make you a happy man
keep running just as fast as you can

A freezing cold stare
and a flick in the eye
passengers just passing by
passengers just passing by

To walk on water you'd sink in the ice x2
for all things gained there's a sacrifice
to walk on water you gotta sink in the ice

You're holding everything inside, you're holding everything inside x2
and don't it feel good just to be alive,
don't it feel good just to be alive
you're still holding everything inside

And you don't know what you want, do ya?
know what you want?
what you want?

You're holding everything inside, you're holding everything inside x2
[Youre still holding]
Evrything inside x2

WAIT AND SEE

We could choose to disregard it
or have some fun and break it
since god has just departed
we could carry on or fake it
who has a better plan
whats the true nature of man
whats money to your soul
watch as money takes control

And is there space for every boy and girl
in a competitive, material world
I guess we'll have to wait and see
and I'm trying too hard too believe

Know when to draw the line
know there's a grand design
know there's a better way
I dont know and cannot say
when my respect for man
has taken all it can
the purchase of your soul
placate and we have lost control x2

Is it daddys little boys and girls
become the acne on the face of the world
I guess we'll have to wait and see
and I'm trying too hard too believe

We could choose to disregard it x2
who has a better plan
whats the true nature of man
whats money to your soul
watch as money takes control

Is it daddys little boys and girls
become the acne on the face of the world
I guess we'll have to wait and see
And is there space for every boy and girl
in a competitive, material world
I guess we'll have to wait and see
and I'm trying too hard too believe

PACIFIER

You feeling good today
cause I got told that you were
smashed up on your own motorway
but it's O.K
the first upon the scene
a life support machine
but still collapse as if you were some accidental star

Do you know what the time is
is it messing with your mind kid
are you hurting all the time
and you need a pacifier
come on, lets take a look outside

Don't look so worried you know
there ain't no hurry
cause life's supposed to ebb and flow
now you're all clear to go
and when you're out there
no, they can't catch you
precious star, you are the best at what you are

Do you know what the time is
what's messing with your mind kid
are you hurting all the time
and you need a pacifier
come on, lets take a look outside

come on, lets take a look outside

THIN WHITE LINE

Running round, raising your hand
we don't need reminding
too much honky man
must be the brain that you're not using
waiting for an excuse to lose it
you put the ice in paradise
true blue and sick in the head

The thin white line is such a waste of time
The thin white line, take it from behind

You're thinking that you're making a stand
by pulling out the welcome mat from no mans land
just don't forget where we come from honky
we fucked the world just like you fucking a donkey
new rules for animals
red-neck? I'd rather be dead

The thin white line is such a waste of time
you don't speak for me
don't even know what I see
you're thinking's so, so slow

And you don't know what you need to know
I hope you do in time, then we'll be feeling fine
do you know what I'm talking about?
do ya?

The thin white line is such a waste of time
you don't speak for me
don't even know what I see
you think its so, so slow

ONLY TIME

Out on the search for something happening
I lose where I begin
now that something means nothing
a gone man set lose upon the street
moves on up to me
and says with feeling...

When you can't find the world
you can only find yourself
and you can't break away
'til you find your own way
but it takes time...

Gone man, I'm searching for a scene
for something to believe
but you make no sense to me
I've no time for words from an old man
he says "get 'em while you can
'cause life burns up and then it's gone"

When you can't find the world
you can only find yourself
and you can't break away
'til you find your own way
surround yourself with love but nothing else
then you can break away
when you find your own way

and it's only time...

JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE

Sometimes,
feel at the edge of reason
I get strung out
feel like I'm going nowhere
and then you wind me up
just like you did before
gotta thrill, gotta chill, gotta spill
so I can rise again

just like everybody else

Sometimes,
question mark? full-stop.
this process is powerless
there's no way to the top
get fucked up just to fill me up
or so I tell myself
and this makes me wonder
process to order

Every now and then
right place, right time
get going with the flow of things
and I'm feeling fine
(it's alright)
getting back to basics
(ah ha)
back to the common mind
(it's alright)
got a chance to rise above
got a chance to be myself!
(ah ha)

just like everybody else

SPORT AND RELIGION

Hey all you people in the shiny cars
who dug the trenches will reach the stars
that's a funny program
what's it show or tell
if it's not what you're thinking
then you can go to hell

Or is it an illusion?
is it an illusion?

Sport and religion
what a game
you can call it progress
but what's the aim?
you can't fake the fantastic
no more. no more
we can't keep on hacking away
when no one knows the score

Or it's an illusion?
is it an illusion?

you've got to give to take away

SPACING

Well I'm sad but I'm not empty
'cause today it's on the cards that I'm on the move
and it's alright 'cause when I'm leaving
my mind draws me a picture to keep of you

Because I can get a little lonely once in a while
because I can, I've become a victim of your smile
because you know I can, I can make it back from all those miles

I'm sore from a crash landing
at least I made it back from my trip to the moon
and it's alright 'cause when I'm spacing
the thrill of anticipation gets me through
I've gotta get to you

Because I can get a little lonely once in a while
because I can, I've become a victim of your smile

Though it hurts sometimes, remember
that the beauty lies in everything you do
and it's alright i know you don't believe in love
but i believe in you
Oh yes i do, yes i do

it's alright 'cause when I'm spacing
the thrill of anticipation gets me through
I've gotta get to you

Though it hurts sometimes, remember
that the beauty lies in everything you do
and it's alright i know you don't believe in love
but i believe in you
yes i do, yes i do, oh yes i do, yes i do

THE METAL SONG

Sometimes I burn like a paper dog
but mostly, the thing I like doing is doing nothing at all
you're right, I'm going nowhere
I've got nowhere to go
and super-colour nightmare's got something of a hold

So we're slaves of destiny now, are we?
and it's always such an effort to believe
in what you want to be
believe in what you want to be

I take a leather pouch when I go out
there's no money in it
but boredom hits where it most counts
I've had my limit
well we will rise again and boredom ain't my freind

Don't turn your back. don't you be no slack jack. don't turn your back. x2

So we're slaves of destiny now, are we?
thats why it's gonna be such an effot to see...
that in a young country
we're free to be what we want to be
gotta ditch the distractions to create a reaction

Don't turn your back. don't you be no slack jack. don't turn your back. x4

so we're slaves of destiny now are we?
and it's always such an effort to believe
in what you want to be
believe in what you want to be

LIFE IN CARS

Redefine your parameters
accelerate the shit you can give
your machine, your best friend
life in cars

And in a world of your own
licence to leave you alone
does tin can = a happy man?
life in cars

Start it up.
we're just along for the ride
how come you shaking inside?
we're just along for the ride

no one'll find out where you live
(life in cars)
you're like a cat with a honk for a hiss
(life in cars)
your machine, your best friend
(life in cars)

And in a world of your own
(life in cars)
your licence to leave you alone
(life in cars)
does tin can = a happy man?
(life in cars)

Start it up.
we're just along for the ride
how come you shaking inside?
we're just along for the ride

When you're caught in a jam
shoulda stayed in bed
excessive speed is screwing with my head
short click in time was all he said
just slow down, gonna wind up dead
slow down, gonna wind up dead!!!

Redefine your parameters
accelerate the shit you can give
does tin can = a happy man?

Thank your lucky stars for a life in cars

BRIGHTEST STAR

When you go against the grain
do you know just how beautiful you are
when there's nothing left to say
you're the brightest star

When there's nothing left to say
do you know just how beautiful you are
when you go against the grain
you're the brightest star

When you go against the grain
do you know just how beautiful you are
when there's nothing left to say
you're the brightest star

We're like the water at the edge of a wave
that gets left upon the shore
dissapears into the sand
and was seen no more
