Run If You Can (Aguirre) Walk the talk and you’ll live on your knees Compromise and you'll flirt with disaster One step forward and the day you can seize Live the lie and you're sure to expire Talk the walk and you'll die on your knees Realize you're in need of a master Two steps back and you're sure to repeat the test Walk the talk and you cure the disease Be unwise and your enemies prosper Two steps forward and the rest is a breeze Live to die and you're off to the slaughter Talk the walk and your flesh you’ll appease Peel disguise and you're no longer fodder Two steps back and you’re sure to agree Even the flys that council are liars Run if you can again Walk the talk and you'll live on your knees Compromise and you'll flirt with disaster Two steps forward and the rest is a breeze Live to die and you're off to the slaughter Run if you can Run if you can Run if you can again Stop

Resistance 02:03
Resistance (Aguirre) Here's a reason to plead treason in the game society Soft Porn in your advertising Kiddy's weaned on sorcery Abomination infidels competing on my television Mediums and divinators telling lies to set me free Believers - Resistance Overcome the profit makers proclamating greed is need They scour the land recruiting vessels making them ripe from which to feed Slavery in credit unions placing trust in RIA's They magnify the status quo and justify the present danger Believers - Resistance Resist!

Fair Is He 02:02
Fair Is He (Aguirre) Look inside trash compactor Rotting flesh interior Looking flash exterior Always been superior Really lives a contradiction Doesn't know what's fact or fiction Thinking he's a benediction Ignorant to real conviction Fair Is he to be like me Is what to be not heresy Heresy is what I be To be like me the enemy Fair Is he Say one thing then do another Selflessness is not his brother Loving self is what he'd rather He alone is father mother Coursing veins of contradiction Seeking whom to heap affliction Fruitful in your dereliction Let's go have a crucifixion

This Is... (Aguirre) This is your reaction This is my distraction This is satisfaction This is my attraction

Rise Up! 05:00
Rise Up! (Aguirre) See how the mountains tremble Shaking their foundations of sand Hear how the valleys rumble Echoing the falling of man See how the water's churning Flooding and drought know no shame Hear how creation's moaning For the sons of Jah to be named Rise Up! Children of Promise Rise Up! Be strong and courageous A time for revival (Rise up be counted and stand) The need for survival (Rise up be counted and stand) May I and I keep the Lion’s arrival His judgments are final See how the land is failing Crying like the motherless young Hear how her voice is wailing Echoing the end has begun See how the sky is changing Resembling a veil torn apart Hear all the cries she's making Keeping the beat of my heart Rise Up! Children of Promise Rise Up! Be strong and courageous The works of the Almighty are no accident He makes known his purposes with every event Rise Up!

Parental Advisory (Aguirre) While we're on the subject of alienation Here's another song for the youth of the nation While runaways unite in frustration The suburban promise is in trepidation Due to parents passing on sins of generations Fears and lies true abominations Their lack of example is the real dilation Of the social concern that is plaguing the system Parental advisory Your children are people not objects you treat with disdain or contempt Parental advisory Your children are gifts to be nurtured and valued not just tax exempted Instead of being scared because the youth are getting restless Is it possible that they only need a witness Someone to follow A mentor to lead A figure to guide Someone convicted of creed All they have are aging children lost without a master Lead by fear and ignorance will surely bring disaster Overcome your uselessness before you start to breed Then we'll have the future with the youth our nation needs Parental advisory Your children are people not objects you treat with disdain or contempt Parental advisory Your children are gifts to be nurtured and valued not just tax exempted

Anybody – Everybody (Aguirre, Smyers) Somebody's on their knees Somebody needs a refill Somebody's aiming to please Can't seem to manage the free will Anybody holding the keys Anybody looking for cheap thrills Anybody's easy to tease When they can't stop climbing the uphill Somebody's out of hope Somebody needs a new drill Somebody's trying to cope And they're lacking all the right skills Anybody needing some rope Anybody can run to the high hills Anybody can make it a joke When they can't stop living like road kill Everybody's all the time And you're always on his mind Anybody - Everybody Anybody - Everybody You're the one I came to find

Shark Attack 02:04
Shark Attack (Aguirre, Bevill) Did I mention All the tension When I walk in stride The attention And aggression Raging up inside Hypertension Apprehension Crash against the tide Allegations of pretension And there's nowhere to hide Like a shark attack On you and me Buddy's got your back Just wait and see Is there prevention In suspension When I'm toeing the line The extension Of my dimensions Tell in whom to confide Comprehension No condemnation I'm just here for the ride Then a notion Begins the tension And I'm screaming inside Like a shark attack On you and me Buddy's got your back Just wait and see And there's nowhere to hide

Camel Crawl 02:04
Camel Crawl (Aguirre) Here's a tale that's ancient but true from the "Jewish Social Register" It reads like a feature written days ago about York's new swells young bucks Our hero is a wealthy twenty-something in the most desirable social strata Who's lived a good life since only a child but he can't afford life pro rata He prefers the socials breakfast at Tiffany's You and I are merely NOCD Even this lyric is a "white man's burden" simply written by a worker bee Toff or not life's a shopping spree ski vacation at Verbier This rich young ruler with his pedigree Scottish castle is a millionaire Rich Man Better crawl like a camel as fast as you can Our hero's walk the upper echelons while they talk about the ol' "Grand Tour" It's as simple as being sybaritic to qualify as ferry lure Titles are envied when properly used provide your own amount of credit in hell And you don't want to admit to being a playboy when you're living the life of a swell To write a novel Sail in the cup To be mentioned in Brooke's new book Are some of the things our hero desires but nothing 'bout a shepherd's crook This is a tale that's ancient but true from the "Jewish Social Register" It reads like a daily in Vanity Fair about York's new young bred connoisseurs Rich Man Better crawl like a camel as fast as you can

Tomorrow 03:13
Tomorrow (Aguirre) So now I'm with the Firstborn of the Dead We share space and time for all eternity I fought the good fight now I'm translated Light Limitless incredibly free The hidden things of darkness up ahead With the counsels of the hearts will be made manifest Exposed by the light giving human kind the right For praise by Him who made the galaxies Welcome tomorrow I've been through the Door that stands in Heaven And the One who sits there smiled down at me With His Seven Spirits a light and the Elders robed in white While flashes of lightning shone on me I also saw the sea of crystal glass today With the four living creatures singing beautifully They sang with such might and continued through the night Thanking Him who made the galaxies Join us Tomorrow
11.
Only 03:32
Only (Aguirre) He's the only fascination capturing my heart He's the only transformation taken from the start He's the only motivation rooted in my mind He's the only revelation shining through my eyes Jesus He's the only Friend you have that will see you through the day All He wants is to take you by the hand He's the only Friend you need that will see you all the way All He wants is to help you overstand Jesus
12.
Sleeper 02:44
Sleeper (Aguirre) These are words you need to hear since milk not meat is what is sowed Continually on Sunday morn' and on your Jesus TV show Precarious your state is in the prophet cries I'll take my cross can you find yours when truth is masquerade in lies Can you be a new creation living in your stereo Partaking in some adulation on your Jesus radio Vicarious is that the means by which He died I'll take my cross can you find time to break the bonds that have you tied (Radam) Sleeper These are words you need to hear since Slumber King is who you know Religiously on Sunday morn' and on your Jesus TV show Precarious your state is in the prophet cries I'll take my cross can you awake when truth is bedding down with lies Can you be a new creation looking down your Roman nose Pretending you're the new sensation on your Jesus radio Vicarious is that the means by which He died I'll take my cross can you deny you serve the hands that have you tied (Radam) Sleeper These are words you need to hear since milk not meat is what is sowed Continually on Sunday morn' and on your Jesus videos Precarious your state is in the prophet cries I'll take the cross you nailed Him on when truth was masquerading in disguise
13.
Life Bleeds Out (Aguirre, Bevill, Smyers) Life becomes a lie when life becomes a plan to fall back on And once you know the lies you've lived does life bleed out Does life bleed out the situations any man can fall back on And once the situation gives does life bleed out does life bleed out Life bleeds out when God is gone Life becomes a curse when life is lived outside the master plan And once you know the curse you've lived your life bleeds out Your life bleeds out the situations every man should understand And as the situations give your life bleeds out your life bleeds out Life is nothing more than lies when life is lived outside the gift And once you know the gift is Christ your life bleeds out Your life bleeds out contaminations every man is infected with And as infections start to give your life bleeds out your life bleeds out Life bleeds out when Man is gone
14.
Sheol 04:01
Sheol (Aguirre, Bevill, Smyers) The cords of Sheol were round about me The snares of death came upon me Sheol is naked before Him and Abaddon has no covering
15.
Secret – Secret (Aguirre) You poison mind and eyes with the consumption of some other persons nakedness Some other body's shame (Secret) Allowing lust to rule your members ruins temples Self-control thought captivation tames the same (Secret) So all your downloads eight to five corrupts the man and helps them thrive to run their $13 Billion industry You take the bait of UCE's continuing in your sin disease So unaware that here's your root of misery The ALA and CDA are not the ones to hide behind neglecting your responsibilities (Secret) Ignorance can numb the senses needing X's Are you not committing a dull tree (Secret)

Outro 00:30

about

After going on hiatus from bands and albums for four years, Aguirre came back in 2002 with his own label Accidental Sirens, and two albums. The first of the albums was Omega No. 5, slated as Scaterd Few’s parting shot. Aguirre imported members from the Dallas band Greyskull to record and tour the album. Bringing in an accomplished guitarist and bassist allowed for a virtuoso return to the uninhibited spirit that made Scaterd Few’s music legendary.
After four songs of fast relentless punk, the apocalyptic Rise Up! switches gears to tasty hope-filled reggae. Then four more fast and furious cuts sung and slung rapid fire, addressing topics of family, carnality, and worldly wealth. Then a Two-Tone ska number, Tomorrow, chimes in, this time a more traditional variant. This jovial number describes in lush detail the imagery of the afterlife experience of a faithful believer. Such an underrated song. Sheol, a dark and lurid soundscape, precedes the punk closer of Secret – Secret, a UK-flavored rampage on the travesty of sleeping with the corruption that will bring about destruction. The Outro is a short segment from Kill The Sarx II (Apocalypse), an appropriate way to sign off on the Scaterd Few legacy.
Some have declared Omega No. 5 as Sin Disease Part II. It could be - but without a doubt, it's fast, it's furious, and it's brilliant. Just like dancing in the circle pit, Omega No 5 is a reminder of just how good a punch to the gut and a kick to the face can feel. Play it loudly, but try not to break your neck!

about

Scaterd Few Burbank, California

Perhaps the single most controversial Christian rock band of all-time!
A decade after it's sophomore release, HM Magazine called Sin Disease “the record that decisively ended the ’80s” for CCM & also “Christian music’s best punk album ever” a year before Nevermind.
Rarely has one single album had such a profound impact on how we think and see the world. Yet, Sin Disease did all that, and more.
