Lashing out the action, returning the reaction
Weak are ripped and torn away
Hypnotizing power, crushing all that cower
Battery is here to stay
Smashing through the boundaries
Lunacy has found me
Cannot stop the battery
Pounding out aggression
Turns into obsession
Cannot kill the battery
Cannot kill the family
Battery is found in me
Battery, battery
Crushing all deceivers, mashing non-believers
Never ending potency
Hungry violence seeker, feeding off the weaker
Breeding on insanity
Smashing through the boundaries
Lunacy has found me
Cannot stop the battery
Pounding out aggression
Turns into obsession
Cannot kill the battery
Cannot kill the family
Battery is found in me
Battery, battery
Circle of destruction, hammer comes crushing
Powerhouse of energy
Whipping up a fury, dominating flurry
We create the battery
Smashing through the boundaries
Lunacy has found me
Cannot stop the battery
Pounding out aggression
Turns into obsession
Cannot kill the battery
Cannot kill the family
Battery is found in me
Battery, battery

[Aesop Rock]
Yo change the fuckin channel
I burn a Coma candle
When the flame fades, consider my flatline a soldier's sample
We them cats talkin noise behind that New York trash heap
Where the stench of commuter briefcase replaces a bad sleep
And it's, worker zig-zagers versus piggy batch flashers
Training Generation Fallout
Waterfall bricklayer pincushion crawl out
There's smoke in my iris
But I painted a sunny day on the insides of my eyelids
So I'm ready now (What you ready for?)
I'm ready for life in this city
And my wings have grown almost enough to lift me
I'm a dinosaur with Jones Beach in my hourglass
Passing the time with serial killer coloring books and bags of marbles
Don't tell me you ain't the droid that held the match to the charcoals
Don't tell me Lucifer and God don't carpool
(This is our school)
I'm not trying to graduate to life at the personalized barstool
Head in a jar on the desk, feet dangling in a shark pool
(Man please) Man please
My name stands for my being
And my being stands for the woman who stood
And braved the storm to raise this evening
(Brother, sun, sister, moon, mother beautiful)
Yeah middle sibling suitable but far from son of excellence
beckoned a long time ago, I was to way the wishers wish
But missers miss, I slept through my appointment
Saw the liquid dreams of a thousand babies solidify
And picked the rose that wilted
The second I introduced myself as Nervous
Well it appears the scars of learning have spoken
Some are burning, some are frozen
Some deserve tall tales, some have wrote them
Some are just a brutal repercussions of devotion
Mine are all of the above cuz everything leads to erosion
Now where I live there's a homeless man
He sits upon a crate
He makes a rusty trumpet sound like the music that angels make
Now if you ever come visit me, I suggest you watch the show
Tell him Aesop Rock sent ya just to hear his horn blow like this
*Horn samples*
[Aesop Rock]
And I ain't getting any younger
My knuckles wear their bruises well
I've yet to lose that hunger
But only time can tell
Prodigal Son with a prodigal wish to sew that prodigal stitch
And crucify bigot voodoo doll on two popsicle sticks
See your name is Ambiguity
My name is something hands can't hold
But hearts part ocean scapes just to watch the starlet unfold
It's like sketching a circle in the dirt with a pointed stick
Knowing the wind'll kill it some day, still it calls my burning wits for now
And if I plow the fields that don't guarantee plentiful harvest
But starving artists die, I set my alarm for five o'clock
Idols block survival crops the cycle stops for nothing
The Bible's carp revivalist winos flock by the hundreds
To the opening, scarlet carpets greeting their duel
Leading the stubborn mule to cruel rugburn
But y'all numb from gut fuel
I administer eclispe, there ain't no motor like a martyr-made motor
Cuz a martyr-made motor don't quit
I am an epiphany, I am wet foot mammal
Channel surfing my way to the top
Tugboat in a bottle
With no holes poked in the nozzle
I fed em bedlam diluted in limelight
Till that rookie boogie graduated hostile
And the vehicle is grandeur and it veered over the medium
The second my halo ran outta helium
Demoted to thorn crown, damn talk about numbskull
I was born bound to a stencil called symmetry
But my energy's a rental
So I take this now to save
My cute seniorita beholding a flame to a lost wick
Thank you James Anthony for the band-aids on my ego
Y'all are family for life
I'll take that bullet to preserve you
I wanna be something spectacular
On the day the sun runs outta batteries
Attach my fashion to the casualties of anarchy
Save my nickels up to buy that homeless man a brand new horn
Then sit up on his crate as I witness the beauty born like this
(I ain't gettin any younger)

Lashing out the action, returning the reaction
Weak are ripped and torn away
Hypnotizing power, crushing all that cower
Battery is here to stay
Smashing through the boundaries, lunacy has found me
Cannot stop the battery
Pounding out aggression, turns into obsession
Cannot kill the battery
Cannot kill the family, battery is found me

Crushing all deceivers, mashing non-believers

Cannot kill the family, battery is found me

It is only a matter of time before you run away. You never thought
it would happen to you, your mind is too weak to see you through.
Try to forget everything. I don't want to see your face, I don't
want to hear your voice, you no longer exist. Now you are asking
for my help, but you just want me to justify your pathetic judgements
while you believe in your own lies. Consume your material world.

I see faces
I see the faces looking down on me,
But they can stare and I don't really care,
Because they'll never understand what we're made of.
Because today is the day when we forget all regrets
And focus on what really matters.
And I hope for you this is more then a trend,
Because you can count on me UNTIL THE END
The fucking kids
The kinds are at it again
To your parents it's"just a phase"
But we're with you so don't be afraid.
[Ref.]
But can I count on you?
Are you with me?
Are you with me UNTIL THE END?

Twist my arm till I scream your words, but nothing seems to change.
Condemned for looking for the exit to this maze. Thoughts run deep
but so does blood. I will wipe it away and show you what you have
done. Forced to feed the flames, but do I have the strength to remain
unchanged? Slit my wrist till I bleed and the trail has begun. A bloody
hand grasps the bottom rung. I am weak but I will try to clinch my
fist with fury and shatter windows with my cries. Forced to feed the

An endless struggle what we call success, put on your kings robes
and strive to be the best, but not yet because when you looked
around the world had grown cold and we fight so hard to succeed
that we have nothing left to hold. There is nothing left. Is it
because we love so much that we leave emotion behind and our so
called confidence we dare not defy and our so called compassion
we push everyone else aside. We are assured independence but

A desperate feeling, as I lay quiet on my bed.
Wishing I could take back what was said.
But I was scared I must admit,
and now I'm alone to deal with it.
These are the days
where we stand naked in the rain.
These are the days.
Another season draing me of all my strenght.
Filling me with pain.
But I miss you I must admit
and now I'm alone.
These are the days
where we stand naked in the rain.
These are the days.
I'm only strong enough sometimes
to tear at the seems
and look for some answers.
In this time in our lives
where we must give up all the lies
and find the truth inside.
I will try find it.

What am I doin' wasting my time, playing music, not taking part in society's plan?
It must be hard to understand why all I want to do
Is hang out with my friend.
Because they are there when I need them,
But when I need them most.
In sports and school I never found a home
The only place I found acceptance was going to shows
And the story goes on...
Where we dance all night to our favorite song
[Ref.]
We can stand by everything that we believe.
We don't need their model to succeed.
We can find our strength through the ones we love,
Throughout our lives as we move along.
YOU CAN'T TOUCH ME

You would love to give us a bad name,
But no one her eis buying into your game.
Angry kids that's how we will stay
United and strong, day after day
We're never givin' up,
You can place your bets.
We're never givin' up,
So I wouldn't hold your breath.
You would love to exploit our way of life
With MTV and media hype.
But underground and proud is how we'll stay,
Stronger than ever, day after day.
[Ref.]
[Mike]
And this is too important and there's too much at stake.
You call it what you want, but I'm free to do what's right for me
The years of dedication to making a change
I will not give up because you think it's lame
You could never take away what we have made.
For the kids by the kids, we will never fade.
And this revelation will always stay
In my heart, day after day.

I am your stepping stone, I am the mistake that made you close your
eyes, I am your battered wife, I am the regret that turns the bottle
dry. Here is a shattered image, no longer dressed up in your lies,
your eyes connect - the guilt will eat you alive. I am your Sunday
clothes, six days of sins and lies. I am your late night at the
office, I am your daughter's unheard cries. Live life like a king:
abuse, misuse, no one heard a thing and the news and the television

I turn away, my mind filled with rage
You cannot erase it, I won't stay complacent
In my forced cage
Forfeit my rights for my own good
Reprogramming to be something I could never be
So how can I go on
When I've been restraining for so long?
Din a tomb of silence
Lament every minute, duality within caught in a vice
Disease is spreading, I need some time
You try to take these thoughts from me
But they're mine
Shattered stone
Deprived of my life
Conditioned reality

Do you ever get that feeling
When the guilt begins to hurt?
Seeing all the children
Wallowing in dirt
Crying out with hunger
Crying out in pain
At least the dirt will wash off
When it starts to rain
Soap won't wash away your shame
Do you ever get the feeling
That something isn't right?
Seeing your brother's fist
Clenched ready for the fight
Soon the fighting turns to weapons
And the weapons turn to wounds
So the doctor's stitch and stitch and stitch
And stitch and stitch and stitch and stitch
Surgery won't improve your pain
It all seems so stupid
It makes me want to give up
But why should I give up
When it all seems so stupid?
Do you ever get the feeling
That something can't be done?
To eradicate these problems
And make the people one
Do you ever get that feeling
Something like a nagging itch?
And all the while the doctors stitch
And stitch and stitch and stitch and stitch
Hope alone won't remove the stains (shame)
It all seems so stupid
It makes me want to give up
But why should I give up

Wake up, throw on your clothes,
Another day of feeling old.
9 to 5 a suit and tie,
Can you feel the wind of life passing you by?
What about the times you've wanted to die?
Pls don't tell me you're standing in line to say goodbye.
You're hurting, you're dying
BELIEVE ME
There's nothing worse than feeling like
There's nothing you can do.
No friends at the office,
No one who understands
That you gave up dreams and settled for things
That were not in your heart
It's fucking hard... you have gone so far,
But the work-force dragged you down.
Now you're screaming for someone to help,
But your voice, it makes no sound.
You're hurting, you're dying
BELIEVE ME
I've been there 2
BELIEVE ME
There's nothing worde than feeling like
There's nothing you can do
Say it, say it.
Say it, say it.
I can find a place in this world,
I believe, I believe.
I can find a place in this world,
I believe, I believe.
It's not what you do form 9 to 5,
It's what you do from 5 to 9
So pick up your head and give me your hand.
So believe someone believes in you.
There was a time when I felt bad too
School just sucked, my parents were rough,
Another day... it always comes, that you can trust,
Another day... it always comes, but never stays.

Fighting for ideals not for personal gain
One man one vote is all they want so why should we obtain
From helping them free themselves we fought for it in this hand
End apartheid, free it's victims, their fate is in our hands
The walls will fall
Believes become reality
We take our freedom for granted
While others must fight for their own
How long must they suffer, we can't let them fight it alone
Indifference isn't solving anything, it's time to take a side
Each day, hammering away at the pillers of apartheid
How long does it have to be before you will see

We never knew what we had, we never thought that it would end.
I want so much to bring it back. I know I will never see those
times again. But I still believe, where does this leave me? I
have seen them come and go, I have seen my friends changed, so
why am I cast aside just because I have stayed the same? But I
still believe, where does this leave me now? You want to forget,
but I will hold on to those days and I don't hate you just

An unwanted child the scar that leaves the blame placed on
individuals who would never feel the pain. Of a trash can for
a home - no mother to call their own. Decision by the state -
read your fate, so called freedom taken by a rape. Take away
what isn't yours, you will never feel what you decide, you will
never feel the pain you provide, take away what is not yours.
She bleeds - a coat hanger death, brought about by laws - her
best bet would have been an addicted baby, unsupported left
behind to died for government decisions for life. Her body,

Angry, I was so angry, I was so scared.
I was never there,
Always turning my back on the people who cared.
So believe me when I tell you
I know I was wrong, I never let you near
Now lonely and crying, I hold your memory dear.
Pls understand
I'm sry, my friend, I am.
But when you're lying the gutter, it's hard to look at the stars.
We're all so busy feeling down and out,
It's easy to forget who your friends are.
The people who care, the people who will listen,
We should never take for granted the love that they are giving.
Selfish, I was so selfish, though I was I pain.
It seems so lame
That I could just turn my back and walk away.
So believe me when I tell you
Though things will never be the same,
I will always love you in my own special way.
[Ref.]
I'm sry. I will never take for granted the love that you're giving.

Quietly, I sit, the lights are dim.
And a hint of loneliness fills the room I'm in.
Why am I so afraid, that I spend my days alone
For fear of being turned away?
So this time, can I open up and see what's inside
That I've spent my whole life trying to hide?
Bitterly, I wait
For the big mistake everyone's been expecting me to make.
You said I'd push my friends away and end up dying alone,
But people in glass houses shouldn't be throwing stones.
[Ref.]
I've got to move on.
I've got to move on, I've got to climb these walls.
I've got to find a place where I'm not destined to fall.
Got to find a way to remove this mask,

What you think of... is in my head. If I'm dead by tomorrow it ain't so bad. Somebody dug out my insides... thanks for nothing. In this world we came, we hoped we wouldn't work for (you). We can't turn these words into explanations. Pain, wake up! We'll never even work for an understanding into explanations. Pay for you to wake up and watch what I do for you, so what are you going to do. Like ants we work for an addiction like this battery... What you think of... what you want. Thanks all of you... thanks a lot. Digs out your insides, fucks you up. Pain, eject with that, until it has turned all our words into explanations. Pain, wake up! Resolve, until they kill them all into an explanation... It turns our flags to white! Two white flags begin to slowly fall... blandishes, watch out where you step as you run and fall. White flag!

What life is this? A truth behind the rows that move up and shoves us into a passion that snaps the bleeding hearts. Turn the corner and go (the other way). Blank-wave newly phased, (you can't take it.) I gave up knowing (you can't take me)...
inside our DNA frame.

Standing alone in a corner, finding the punishment justified,
needing to feel their disappointment, to let me know I am alive.
Because I have learned negative attention is better than silence
at the dinner table. An unstable fuel that always came through to
let me know I have failed. I am feeling unsatisfied and afraid;
will I find safety in these lonely days? Looking back I find
cracking foundations where childhood memories rest and when
that angry voice strikes my ear I will finally be put to the
test. Do I need the fire to keep me going or can I do it on
my own? Now I have shown a tear, reality is near a place I call
home. Is there strength to be found in memories left behind?
Times have changed I found me to blame and wounds will heal

To lose a friend, it burns, it steals life, it steals memory
Help me, help me.
It consumed bu guilt, I never should have let it build inside of me,
Now it's a part of me, I'm bleeding and lying in the cold
Pls don't kick me when I'm down.
I guess apologies don't mean shit when you're chewing on it,
Because your foot, it never left your mouth.
Without a sound, we duchk away, without a sound.

I'll be the first to say
We're drowning in the holes we made
The fashion, the rumors and the flags we wave
Will take the place of dirt to fill our graves.
I'll be the first to say.
I'll be the first to say
That if we don't change our ways,
This movement will burn the stake.
Don't you see this is all in our hands?
Don't you see it's all in our hands?
I've hear them say
A few years down the road, you'll change.
I refused to listen, I refused to change,
And now my disbelief is staring me in the face.
I've heard them say.
I've hear them say,
But they don't have to be right.
Can't you see this is all in our hands?
Can't you it's all in our hands?
Listen up we have one one more shot at this... at this
Listen up we have one more shot at this... at this
If we learn to give as much we're willing to take
And learn that drawing lines between us was our biggest mistake,
Because people do change, and as long as we don't push them away

Destroyed the feelings that I have inside
You walked all over me after all I tried
I took a slap in the face and I can never be the same
I've fallen once before and now I'll never fall again
You call my name and expect me to come running back
I've fallen once - once into your trap
I want to trust you but I'm afraid
Last time I trusted you I was betrayed
And I won't fall again
Still burning from my anger
Still stumbling on my pain
You took what I held highest in life
And turned into a game

Do you think I'm a piece of shit
Because I act a little funny and dress a little different?
You don't know me, what I believe,
What I aspire to be.
Do you think I'm a total freak
Because I sleep in class and never laugh
At your stupid jokes
Like the puppets on your social rope?
Withour you high school glory, you've got your guard down.
Now are you wishing you hadn't acted like the class clown?
Because the people who laugh only laugh
Because they're scared of being humiliated in front of the class.
Would you be totally hurt
If I said I didn't care about your sports
And money and parties?
Isn't that fanny, isn't that fanny
That it is probably driving you nuts,
Because to you it means so much?
But when your 4-year kingdom is done.
You'll be all alone; have fun, fun, fun
[Ref.]
Sit in your back yard and reminisce
You're old, you're a has-been.
Nobody keeps in touch with the assholes who talk too much,
So when high school's over, your reign end,
And the same reasons that made you the coolest guy in school
Will leave withour and friends.
Cause we've had enough.

(Come follow me, come follow me now!)
Faith is what you want... Faith is dissected by what? Follow me... bother me. Faith is nonsense dissected to what you said so follow me. Faith is what you want... follow me! Its common sence? Try and live? Faith is what you want... follow me!

Does it make you feel big and strong
To flex your muscles in between songs?
Well, this one... don't sing along
Because this show will go on without you?
You don't care about this, so there's the door.
You feel like shit, so you've come to settle the score.
Is scoring all that you know,
Or did you mistake this for monday night football
Grab a beer, hit the couch and feel alone,
Because this show will go on without you.
[Ref.]
Sunday matinees have never seemed the same
Since you turned our hardcore shows into a football game.
But you're not the only one to blame,
Because we sat back for so many years
And watched you play all your stupid tough-guy games
We took your shit and now we're lying in it.
It's time to make a change... MAKE IT FUCKIN' CHANGE
If there's 200 kids and only there total dicks,
Which of us do you think should get to say?

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life
And realize there's nothing left.
'Cause I've been blasting and laughing so long
That even my momma thinks that my mind has gone.
But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it.
Me be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of.
You betta watch how ya talking
And where ya walking
Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk.
Fear ain't nothing but a heart beat away,
I'm living life do or die, what can I say?
I'm twenty-three now, will I ever live to see twenty-four,
The way things is going I don't know.
They say I gotta learn
But nobody's here to teach me.
If they can't understand it, how can they reach me?
I guess they can't,
I guess they won't,
That's why I know my life is out of luck!
Tell me why are we
So blind to see.
That the ones we hurt
Are you and me?
Tell me why are we
So blind to see.
That the ones we hurt
Are you and me?
[Chorus]
We've been spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise.
We've been spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise.
We keep spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise.
We keep spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise.
Tell me why are we
So blind to see.
That the ones we hurt
Are you and me?
Tell me why are we
So blind to see.
That the ones we hurt

Too scared to care
Enough to sacrifice yourself
Knowing things must be done
But choosing to ignore the truth
Turn your back
Shut it out - Apathy
Won't put yourself on the line
On the line
Too scared to care
You think this world revolves around you
Knowing things must be done
But living life only for you
This fury is raging me
I'd make an effort for you and I'm trying
But would you make it for me? I care
Feelings so strong I can't be held back

Again the clock is ticking
Counting down my life
I watch my childhood fade into time
All of my convictions are covering my eyes
All that I believe in has now been made me blind
Wash my hands of the past
Let my soul be free
Wash my hands of the past
What did it all mean?
Standing here all alone drowning in my desires
I've grown to hate the cold, but too scared to touch the fire
The closer I get to the shore
The tide keeps rising higher
Take my hand, pull me out
This body has grown tired
Looking on with crying eyes
Wishing for time
Hold my hand
Protect my innocent mind
I close my eyes

There is a fire that keeps me running as my home burns and rejection
becomes my own obsession as reflection turns blank and whispers take
a deafening tone. Standing in the doorway of an empty room where
words find their place in the pillars of truth. We pray for escape,
escape preys on confession. Confession is admission that we are weak.
Weakness is not a question - it is exception, an exception to the
rules of defeat. Look beyond this tired face and take me breathing

I saw you pulling in
I saw you covered
Everything's shifting down
I saw you falling over
My life broken here
Drifting, changing
Time to pretend
I see you fading
I can't think
I can't sleep no
I can't see

On barren blames withstand hunger pains, learn that poison fruit is
their only advantage in this game. Breathe it in - it is your last
chance and it will come like a knife to your throat. Let sweat stand
with tears to greet the blade while you choke. Set up for defeat,
they pray on the weak. Addiction is admission to defeat. Breathe it
in - it is your last chance and it will come like a knife to your
throat. Let sweat stand with tears to greet the blade while you
choke! Strike the blade make it light the room, make it blind my
eyes - I do not want to watch you die. Let the sound ring out with

Step up, from the ground up
You said you'd help
Your ideals revealed
Faith in yourself
Finding, redefining what we need
Told us you would show us
How to succeed
And we believed
We believed in you
We believed in all your lies
And your ties and your promises
We try to comply duty bound
Degredation, communication
Breaking down
Conflict and no respect
We don't need this
Backbiting, infighting, is this your best?
And we believed
We believed in you
We believed in all your lies
And your ties and your promises
And we believed
We believed in you
We believed in all your lies

Cars, bombs, radio-waves. Snakes, posion, the whole upper state. Television, pirde, video games, nuclear warfare, the electric chair. Nurse, rape, remote controls. Our local government with a lack of goals. Capitalism, nationalism, murder conducts one's own hate for one's own love. Censorship, companionship, the loss of lies... as new ideas fly by. Pink slips, the homeless, and the loss of life. America proud to meet its demise. Black flags, conservatives, read my lips, all of these found in fellowship. Prosaic, crack, the want for smack. Where the destruction of our future lies.
A symphony of wires tangled in twine. Everyday of our lives, we all stand side by side. We all wait day by day.

(Yeah!)
Oh, how you could make me smile and how you could make me laugh. I
felt so safe. I loved you more with each breath.
But how things have changed now, the way you pushed me out. It’s time
to come back around. It’s time to let you know that...
...I hope you hurt as much as me. I hope you hurt as much as me. I
hope you hurt as much, I hope you hurt as much as me.
I hope you hurt as much as me. I hope you hurt as much as me. I hope
you hurt as much, as much, as much as me me.
This love turns to hate. I watch you make the same mistakes. Now that
I’ve pulled through, I hope it all comes back to you.
When you’re cut right open, when you’re feeling broken, maybe then
you’ll see just how much you fucked with me.
I hope you hurt as much as me. I hope you hurt as much as me. I hope
you hurt as much, I hope you hurt as much as me.
I hope you hurt as much as me. I hope you hurt as much as me. I hope
you hurt as much, as much, as much as me (me me me-e-e-e-e-e-e-e).
(Yeah!)
(I hope you hurt as much as me. I hope you hurt as much as me. I hope
you hurt as much as me. I hope you hurt as much as me. I hope you
hurt as much as me.)
I hope you hurt as much as me. I hope you hurt as much as me. I hope
you hurt as much, I hope you hurt as much as me.
I hope you hurt as much as me. I hope you hurt as much as me. I hope

I saw you pulling in
I saw you covered
Everything's shifting down
I saw you falling over
My life broken here
Drifting, changing
Time to pretend
I see you fading
I can't think
I can't sleep no
I can't see

She wtas to be beautiful
For our beauty-starved eyes.
She's dying, she's dying, she's dying
But we never seem to mind.
Her cry is in her toothpick legs
And attention-hungry smile,
And as it goes on, the transfer occurs
From magazine to child
But the only thing these beauty magazines leave
Is low self-esteem
The only thing they leave is a low self-esteem
We're brainwashed to think that thin is pretty,
But if beauty is love, why is she in pain?
I'm guilt, I'm guilty, I'm guilty.
I's time we placed the blame,
Let's also blame the media,
And face the fact that this is insane,
And spit in the face of their so-called beauty
And make a change
[Ref.]
We have got to open our eyes
If we want to make a change
We have got to open our eyes
If we want to make a change
Because there are sick and starving girls
Throwing up after they eat
So they can look thin and pretty
For the people the meet.
And the thing that scared me the most
Is there are people that I hold close
That are dying

I'm reaching my hand out to you -
Come with us if you want to.
Whatever it takes, we'll stand together.
No matter what you've got or where you're from.
We're all the same, we can count on each other
Be cause if we can't, who can we count on.
Only hatred and anger can split us apart,
But i know that they will never split us apart
We can be who we want to be, you and me,
And now is when we've got to start.
We've all got choices to make -
What path are you going to take ?
Whatever it takes, we'll stand together.
No matter what you've got or where you're from.
We're all the same, we can count on each other
Be cause if we can't, who can we count on.
Only hatred and anger can split us apart,
But i know that they will never split us apart
We can be who we want to be, you and me,
And now is when we've got to start.
I'm going to see what's behind each and every door.
What do we say, what do we know - there's so much more.
It's not for me, is it for you ? Don't you want to know ?
What are we waiting for - don't you want to know ?

Lashing out the action, returning the reaction
Weak are ripped and torn away
Hypnotizing power, crushing all that cower
Battery is here to stay
Smashing through the boundaries
lunacy has found me
cannot stop the Battery
Pounding out aggression
turns into obsession
cannot kill the Battery
Cannot kill the family
Battery is found in me
Battery
Crushing all deceivers, mashing non-believers
never ending potency
Hungry violence seeker, feeding off the weaker
Breeding on insanity
Smashing through the boundaries
lunacy has found me
cannot stop the Battery
Pounding out aggression
turns into obsession
cannot kill the Battery
Cannot kill the family
Battery is found in me
Battery
Circle of Destruction, Hammer comes crushing
Powerhouse of energy
Whipping up a fury, Dominating flurry
We create the Battery
Smashing through the boundaries
lunacy has found me
cannot stop the Battery
Pounding out aggression
turns into obsession
cannot kill the Battery
Cannot kill the family
Battery is found in me
