about

Earth was Treacherous Jaywalkers' debut album. It was released in April 1986 on cassette in an edition of 61 copies, on their PJD label.

lyrics

The boys are givin' you problems
It's evident to me
You're gonna solve it with your guns
That's the way it's got to be
The boys are givin' you problems
Getting real rough
You try to stop them, you say:
"Men we must be tough"

If you ever looked in the mirror
You'd see what I see
Your life is a contradiction
Hypocrisy
How can you stop violence
With a loaded gun
You become just like them
Intelligence you shun

I see a picture
It's on my TV
"America brings down terrorists,
Film at 3"
Then you turn around
Invade the next door
That's bullshit, you became what you hate
You started a war

How can you stop violence
By being its source
You say a lot of words
But you'll never change the course

How can you keep playing your deadly game
Your terrorists and yourselves
Are both to blame
