"Johnny, uh, some kids on the show yesterday mentioned a new kind of music - Ska. You know anything about it?" "Nothing but a modern off-shoot of Reggae, updated by rock influences. Deafeningly upbeat. Can never become really popular because even though they've made the back-beat more conventional, it's still too exotic for man's acceptance."
Hello, hey now
The Fonz is cool, Fonzy don't cry
Hello, hey now
Well ask Mr. T, he's a really nice guy
There we go with a sign of a smile
Slap in the goonies, we're lost for a while
Where'd you go my breakfast club girl?
Will you stand by me in a stand by World?
(Will you stand by me in a stand by World?
Will you stand by me? Oh yeah)
Hello, hey now

In one
A portable vacuum

A mini-bar

A holiday weekend
In four a Jaguar
In five
A soda stream machine
In six
A Betamax
In seven
A Remington shaver
Once you try it you'll never go back
Well look at me
Look at me
Look at me
Look at me
About to fall apart
Yes I'm even empty-handed with my bulls-eye dart
Taking it back to summer of '85
Piggyback fights I was so
Alive
Will I find
Boba Fett?
And maybe my old Lego playset
Ip dip dog shit
You're on my friend
Cos you trod in it
Turkey Lurkey one, two, three
Tic off ground and it's home for tea

A half-hearted hello
Slow motion like Wash & Go
But I've figured out falling
But I miss your snoring
But not the games
Scared of you and aeroplanes
One could kill me
And one might make me sick
I'm feeling damaged myself
I want my friends to be near
Think I need some help
This life I know can never steer
I'm feeling damaged myself
I want my friends to be near
To be near
I'm losing this, I'm losing focus
All I ever wanted
To be near
Scared on my own
In my home town
Everybody's face is
Your face is
Always there
Always there
I never said I could handle this
Forever care, forever miss
I'm feeling damaged myself
I want my friends to be near
(Always there)
Think I need some help
This life I know can never steer
I'm feeling damaged myself
I want my friends to be near

I want my friends to be near

Think I need some help
You're my best friend
That's the best thing that I've said
And this one's for everyone who
Can't see how anyone could lie
"I love you, yes I do," and with that there's no other way out
But without it there's no other way that

Just play that song
Just play that song for me
Bad jokes that you don't understand
So you laugh too loud
As you think too deeply
I know, I can see it in your pork pies
A pretty face and a fake smile is where you hide
I know what you did
What you did
I was there, your Vietnam
A war you couldn't win but John Wayne can
You know that I was there

He's in the Whitehouse
He's playing army
He's smoking a fat cigar
So we'll chop his balls off

And over dinner we will ask him

Enough of this
I'm a fucking passive counterfeit
Won't hide my
Hide my head in the rain
The weakness leaves me
Much stronger with every grain
Another reason
My prettiest
Just picture this
I'm fucked if I know
The whole procedure
I'm running and falling
I'm tearless, I need ya
Some indecision
This isn't working any more
Save us two some pain
A face to ignore
A self-expression
Conjures up your name
A concentration
Of times that we were the same
And my confidence has left me too

They're watching her as if she cares
He's not a racist
No he's not that bad

And quite honestly you just let yourself down

Are we preaching to the converted
Or scene of pop-diluted ear?
A speech your father gave you
Learnt example of your peers
Gay hater in the closet
More than Gary Glitter's suit
Oppression of any kind no longer computes
And I know we'll get away from this
Believe in a stupid song
Not a social analyst
But I know we'll get away from this

Faith to destroy prejudice

I start to look back
Back track to better times then I find
People clinging on to what was once
(People hanging on to what was once)
A new scene in a kid's dream
Now a barfly and a has-been
Their static souls
And now they start to rust
I really think I need some sort of
Change in my life
How can I feed this fire that's deep inside of me?
How can I stop this from consuming my life?
One decision to heal personal integrity
I start to look back
Back track to better times then I find
People clinging on to what was once
A new scene in a kid's dream
Now a barfly and a has-been
Their static souls
And now they start to rust
I really think I need some sort of
Change in my life
How can I feed this fire that's deep inside of me?
How can I stop this from consuming my life?
One decision to heal personal integrity
A late goodbye to my closest friends of my closest years
As we lay that dream to rest
A thousand times seem to drift away far too naturally
Is it something that I should accept?
But life's forwards not backwards
A change for us all
New chapter of ourselves
I feel it, the one call
Of freedom and difference
Like a bird in a cage
Looking through the holes singing
Of the pain and the rage
Of seeing the outside and knowing it's there
Things put into place if you leave and compare
This old place of old times
As good as they've been
To an entire sky that waits there until seen
Until seen
I have a big nose now and
Then which you made
An empty wallet
And a rusty razor blade
Bubble Bobble, Zelda's skeleton key
Which snapped off
Right in the lock
For you and me
Well goodbye boring
Goodbye a female dog
A P.C. diss
Cos I can't swear
Well anyway
And I only say these
Things to make me
Feel okay
A window
I feel low
I know I'll never win though
A window
I feel low
I know I'll never win
There's a danger of relapse
I'm scared of everyone
Because shooting myself in my foot
Is so much fun
So goodbye boring
Goodbye a female dog
A P.C. diss
Cos I can't swear
Well anyway
And I only say these
Things to make me
Feel okay
It feels right on the next line I should become
A classic emo guy
My tears will fall like leaves in Autumn
And other such shite
You'll realise afterwards
That you're rushing around backwards
And banging your head against brick walls
So if
You need anything
At all
I'm here for you my friend
Thank you
I really needed that
I'm gutted
I'm empty
Turned inside out
Does the hampster still sing?
It means everything
All is not well
Spot

Here we go, yeah
Stop your negative ways

You've been crying now for days

Got to start swimming against the tide

For negative others
Positive feeling for my sisters
And my brothers
We love
We hate
We try
Too late
We suffer
We cry
I don't
Know why
We change
We see
We cease
To be
A loser

Tomorrow we'll take a momentary glance
And see the smiles
And see the friends
And feel the good intentions of
A stranger on a stranger street
A Kappa kid gives up his seat
I know that we'll get there in the end
(It's not that easy)
Retain this outlook
The rest of your life
And the threats are much smaller
Your reasons are right
I don't understand it
I don't understand
I don't understand it
I don't understand
You thought the answers were echoes
When you called out your name
I think we need some help
Tomorrow we'll take a momentary glance
And see the smiles
And see the friends
And feel the good intentions of
A stranger on a stranger street
A Kappa kid gives up his seat
I know that we'll get there in the end

Seize the day
What if it is our last one?
We're the gap that they will never bridge
Until the day
Someone stands behind me
Now that I have self-control
We take a chance
We've got to go and get some
We're the colour that they'll never see
Until the day
Someone stands behind me
Now that I can see my soul
Seeing through their illusion
I can deal with my confusion
I can really see what's there to do
Gotta take time to venture
Gotta fight it just like cancer
This is really it
Goodbye, so long
Seize the day
What if it is the last one?
We're the gap that they will never bridge

Can't see when I turn what's right or wrong

Gotta fight it just like cancer
This is really it
Goodbye, so long
Seize the day
What if it is your last one?
We're the gap that they will never bridge

Someone to stand behind me
Now that I've got self-control

What if it is our last one?
We're the gap that they will never bridge

The right
To learn
Ability
Was pushed
Aside
In front
Of me
An education thought before its time
A compromise of see-through truth
A controlled thought, no room for growth
Well I stood there, now I cross the line
As their voice increases
And the deadline comes
The one-sided dice offered there
It comes my way
It comes my way
If I see through their eyes
Damn their teachings
Damn their lies
Pre-teen propaganda
In disguise
A million different ways
Only counting on the one
Opinion of a preacher
Once a passion
Now it's gone
I know
You know
We know
We learn together
I know
You know
We know
We learn together
Should I stand by
All those forced thoughts
Handed down?
Why not form two pieces
With me?
Damn their teachings
And damn their lies
Pre-teen propaganda
In disguise

Only counting on the one

Can't get up
No matter how long you're staring at me for
None for sorrow
And two's gonna get us chucked out that door
Well we stand where we stand
We fall where we fall
It's not very clever so sing one, sing all
And there's a place where we'll forget
The things we've done
The things we've said
I know there's been some hard times
But I need you my friend
And there's a place where we'll forget
The things we've done
The things we've said
Don't lean on me
We will find just how to be
Leave me behind
(I hope I don't go)
This is killing me
Every part of me
What you wanna rise up ride through
(And miss out on the best times, Cos I'm sinking low
Does it show?)
A problem shared is a problem gained
Multiplied by
Too late to be forever
Too soon to be the end
For those who shout never
A message we send
And there's a place where we'll forget
The things we've done
The things we've said
I know there's been some hard times
But I need you my friend
And there's a place where we'll forget

Stop, look, wait and see
I found that I
Had nothing to try for
When I found the way I tried for you and me
You made me cry and sad and
I wonder why
I satisfied myself with you

Remember how we would drop anything, go everywhere?
Yeah these songs say
I spent my life on the motorway
Hold on
Life jacket
Water wings
(Life jacket)
If I promise not to listen would you talk to me please?
Hold on
Life jacket
Water wings
(Life jacket)
If I promise not to listen would you talk to me please?
Head down pretending
Like you've never seen them
An old street called Withdraw and you walk on
Everything's a pound
Everything's too loud
When I try and speak to you I'm speaking Klingon
Who do you talk to?
I wish you were see-through
Where's the "Vod's Theory"?
Where's the "Cotton Weary"?
I look back, you're wonderful
You're wonderful
Hold on
Life jacket
Water wings

If I promise not to listen would you talk to me please?

Tell you all what we're going to do
Not what boss tells us to
Slaving over pizza not making a thing
Let's all start a
(Kitchen riot)
Fat rude bloke you
(Better be quiet)
I know they're not meatballs you're eating
J.S.A. one time
No you don't have to work
If you don't feel the need
If it's draining your life how a vampire feeds
It's J.S.A. again for me
(And you don't wanna eat the pizza)
No you don't have to work
If you don't feel the need
If it's draining your life how a vampire feeds
It's J.S.A. again for me
(And you don't wanna eat the pizza)
Just J.S.A. one time
No you don't have to work
If you don't feel the need
If it's draining your life how a vampire feeds
It's J.S.A. again for me
(And you don't wanna eat the pizza)
No you don't have to work
If you don't feel the need
If it's draining your life how a vampire feeds
It's J.S.A. again for me
(And you don't wanna eat the pizza)
Eat the pizza, no you don't wanna eat the pizza
Eat the pizza, no you don't wanna eat the pizza
You don't wanna eat the pizza
You don't wanna eat the pizza
You don't eat the pizza
J.S.A.
J.S.A.
J.S.A.
J.S.A.
J.S.A.
J.S.A.
J.S.A.
J.S.A.

Don't eat the pizza
J.S.A.
Don't eat the pizza
J.S.A.
Don't eat the pizza
J.S.A.
Do not eat the pizza
J.S.A.
Don't eat the pizza

Don't eat the pizza

Don't eat the pizza

(Bleugh)
(Woo!)
(Like this!)
I didn't care
About the reason why he never wrote
Just a nine year old
Hanging on a single thread of hope
Is it really too late for you and me?
What's it like to have a Dad?
Maybe I'll wait and see
And now I can't define
Between reality or TV
And the people stare right through a dying man
They don't even want to stop and see
If he's okay
He's okay
I didn't care
About the reason why he never wrote
Just a nine year old
Hanging on a single thread of hope
Is it really too late for you and me?
What's it like to have a Dad?
Maybe I'll wait and see
And now I can't define
Between reality or TV
And the people stare right through a dying man
They don't even want to stop and see
If he's okay
He's okay
(Bleugh)
Face down
Is where I find myself
Face down
Face down is where I find myself
Stronger than ever
Might snap at any time
Rest your head, it's over
It's over
When my brain is bleeding black
Then I know I'll attack
Any sorrow in me
I'll take your last statement
Ever so lightly
Ever so
Ever so lightly
Well I believe in now
Yes I believe in now
Because the past was ripping my heart out
(Your wasted intelligence in a shrinking town)
It was a rough ride but my mind is wider
Never no more, never touch the
Cheap cider
(Cheap cider)
(Cheap cider)
Total your pain, it's over
It's over
When my brain is bleeding black
Then I know I'll attack
Any sorrow in me
I'll take your last statement
Ever so lightly
Ever so
Ever so lightly
When my brain is bleeding black
Then I know I'll attack
Any sorrow in me
I'll take your last statement
Ever so lightly
Ever so
Ever so lightly
Like bands that pay
Their way onto tours
Who are cheating themselves
And cheating the floors
They've never slept on
And the people they've never met
An album cover that they haven't seen yet
Like bands that pay
Their way onto tours
Who are cheating themselves
And cheating the floors
They've never slept on
And the people they've never met
An album cover that they haven't seen yet
What I'm trying to try and say is that I'm trying
(What I'm trying to try and say is that I'm trying)
So don't expect too much because contempt is highering
I didn't ever really jump to reservation
(Chas if I hitched a ride in your train would you tell me to get off?)
I only really ever fell to reservation
And soon we'll all be divided
(Mark if you'd ever be here)
And then we'll care which we hided
[I'd lend you my best ear]
I didn't ever really jump to reservation
(So you could sing to me in Nelb's Punk Rock car)
I only really ever fell to reservation
And soon we'll all be divided
(Jim that time in fuck knows where)
And then we'll care which we hided
[When the bulls chased us were you scared?]
I didn't ever really jump to reservation
(If only Ben's "Old General" had been there)
I only really ever fell to reservation
Like bands that pay
Their way onto tours
(I'll cherish the Bars quotes)
Who are cheating themselves
(We never ever)
And cheating the floors
(Wro-ote down)
They've never slept on
And the people they've never met
[e.g. 'Don't Count Your Horses']
An album cover that they haven't seen yet
(I'll miss this so much)
Like bands that pay
Their way onto tours
Who are cheating themselves
And cheating the floors
They've never slept on
And the people they've never met
An album cover that they haven't seen yet
Like bands that pay
Their way onto tours
Who are cheating themselves
And cheating the floors
They've never slept on
And the people they've never met
Know the dragon's being chased again
(Chased again)
And you've never got an ear to lend
(An ear to lend)
Will you find the time?
A little bit of your space
The feelings there
But your mind's in the wrong place
24 04 they cry, their feelings are strong
(24 04 their feelings are so strong)
24 04 they cry and everything's oh so wrong
Look back, step back
Do you remember its me?
It's a question of your pride and your dignity
Some other people
Its what you might expect
But tell me is it a night that you regret?
24 04 they cry, their feelings are strong
(24 04 their feelings are so strong)
24 04 they cry and everything's oh so wrong
24 04 they cry, their feelings are strong
(24 04 everything's oh so wrong)
24 04 they cry and everything's oh so wrong
Yes they want you back
'Change' is willing and a 'suffer' recess
Support compelling reinforcing progress
Old solution
I am here if you need me
Direction seen if you look more clearly
You can stop losing
You can resist
The thing of your holding
You're strong up to this
'Change' is willing and a 'suffer' recess
Scarred elbows and a brain
A lot less pungent but eventually it smells the same
Of out-of-date normality
A best before performance which I needed
It's a drug technically
Get in, load in, load out
We argue, we shout
Some lyrics, attention that we should pay
We don't speak enough
I struggle to say
Ten hours sitting in a van
Would probably even turn
Noam Chomsky's brain to spam
(Deterring Democracy)
Two hundred pubs
Two hundred kebab shops
(It's doing my fucking head in)
Two hundred pubs
Two hundred kebab shops
(I'm a gold bullion with lead in)
Bring me Ben Lee, a bit of dry ground
Three sixty flips which I lost then found
Bring me some strings and maybe two tins
A cheap talkplan but not too many rings
Not too many rings
Not too many rings
Not too many rings
Not too many rings
I realise I've
Been priveleged
To lead this life
Although I need new shoes
So sometimes my feet itch and my
Council of Elrond tells me to try something new
Terribly Sorry Bob you can't take Bad Karma
My Self Abused
Or my Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain
I'm afraid you won't leave with
Something to Remember Me By
Two hundred pubs
Two hundred kebab shops

"Well yeah, I find this really hard to do. I love being in a band, there's
nothing like performing and playing live, and meeting people; but
sometimes it all gets a bit too much. There are a few months where
you're surviving on three pounds a day, which is three portions of
chips and whatever we can steal off the big headline band. I'm
spending that much time in a van with other people, it's a bit of a
headfuck to say the least. The point of this song was to say that as
well as seeing hundreds of venues last year, we also saw hundreds of
kebab shops; and that touring can be very mentally and physically
tiring. It's weird - normally on tour after a few weeks I'm so tired I
become a zombie, get loose in the village and talk to anyone. I
consider myself to love communicating with people, but I hate the way
that I develop this psychosis. I try, but shit just comes out which has
absolutely no conviction whatsoever. I think that people think we're
making loads of money because we're in a band, and I know I might
sound like a cunt but don't ask me to buy you a beer 'cause I'm "in
the band", 'cause I'm skint; but I'll happily steal one from OPM if you
want. This is a complete ramble by the way, and I think that when
Household Name hear this, they'll be like "What the fuck is Chas
doing?" but I would like to say thank you for coming to all our shows;
I really just don't understand how the band got from playing in Jim's
garage while I was singing down a headphone on a bamboo pole in
front of two viewers, Jim's dog and his sisters, to playing to the
thousands of people... I'm writing this five minutes before we do the
Sunshine stings my eyes
And I'm missing you
And it cuts like
It cuts like knives
This is not getting any easier
Irrelevent stuff
I should but I don't think I will change the world
(My name is Master Samwise Gangee and that's fine honestly)
On a more in-depth inspection Jon from Captain Everything! is hairier than me
Chas this is sober
Turn this toss over
Or at least skip to the bit where Dr Spock tries
Talking to the whales in his Y-fronts
And you call me geek
You fucking Trekkie fan
And wannabe Gandalf
I'm just a nerd
Obsessed with Ernie Ball
At least it's bloomin' real
Your mum's got big hands and shops at Aldi

Well
Ready steady look at this shit lyrical action
I'm dropping these babies like (Michael Jackson)
I didn't know what to say
When I saw his face melt on mushrooms that day
Cheese and wine or cider and chips
Boneless variations or
Three sixty flips
We specialise and cater
Whatever your persuasion
Seven naked men for every
Occasion
I'm Captain
Of Everything
Inside my head
With Five Knuckles clenched my friend
You're better off dead
I'm stronger in this weakness
Much stronger than before
It's our genetics, our blood
Our understanding
Of an unspoken ethic
And an unspoken law

Tweaked ankles
And a tweaked music industry
Rec. exec. steps up
(And I'll glass him with a cup of tea)
In that Lightyear hooded top
You look particularly dapper
We've Bombed Ibiza
Now we'll bomb Ayia Napa
We'll bomb George Bush
While he's sitting on the crapper
Resident President Evil
There's zombies in the Whitehouse
Playing with their Scalextric
And their clockwork Evel Knievel
I'm Captain
Of Everything
Inside my head
With Five Knuckles clenched my friend
You're better off dead
I'm stronger in this weakness
Much stronger than before
It's our genetics, our blood
Our understanding
Of an unspoken ethic
By rights I'm in an awkward place
As I see something I shouldn't
As it's etched upon your face
Yes...my conscience
Yes...tol-er-ance
Confusion in me
Where to stand
I know not to stand for apathy
Stretched again
It won't happen next time, until then
I'm here if you need me
Think a little less, think freely
Cant forget...the strength inside us
At liberty...to take this fall
Another miss...won't shy inside me
(Bomb Ibiza!)
A simple song of sympathy
Is how it started, honestly
Won't turn my life around
It turned my life around
A million smiles of people met
One "hello" and friendship's set
Won't turn my life around
It turned my life around
And I am sure we don't deserve this gift
Of a better time and a better way
Of how we used to live
Thank you for everything you've done
As we drift away
As we drift away
As we drift into the sun
When you're feeling low
Don't hide, don't run
It's easy to get into the motion
Come on baby, dance with me now
Take off your shoes
Smoke screen up ahead
And I know that you fled
From the pain and subsidence of a ghost
It was never said
You fell upside
Downside
Blindside
You're gonna start to fall off the edge
Like a lump of lead
I throw a reason and you throw it flying back to me
Complicated out of sight, was it meant to be?
Another time
Another place
Open smiles on her face
And I'm sinking
Can't stop thinking
'Well just in case'
There's a hole inside of me
And it's cut so clinically
A lesson learned
And no regrets
There's a hole inside of me
And it's cut so clinically
A lesson learned
And no regrets
(For me)
Smoke screen up ahead
And I know that you fled
From the pain and subsidence of a ghost
It was never said
You fell upside
Downside
Blindside
You're gonna start to fall off the edge
Like a lump of lead
I throw a reason and you throw it flying back to me
Complicated out of sight, was it meant to be?
Another time
Another place
Open smiles on her face
And I'm sinking
Can't stop thinking
'Well just in case'
There's a hole inside of me
And it's cut so clinically
A lesson learned
And no regrets
There's a hole inside of me
And it's cut so clinically
A lesson learned
And no regrets
She'll get through this
And she'll find a better way
Remember his
Happy violent times
Destructive links
To anger and drink
And someone needs to tell him face to face
And she shops
With one of those things
That old women push around
That she found
With a porcelain smile
That's been glued too many times
And a housing benefits form
That she tries and hides
No Frills beans
(Yeah she tries to hide them)
And No Frills bread
She looks me in the eye
And as the memories come floating back of
A situation that could tie to this
A tree climb which ends with two broken wrists
And a 50p Christmas tip
She'll get through this
And she'll find a better way
Remember his
Happy violent times
Destructive links
To anger and drink
And someone needs to tell him face to face
Bye rights I'm in an awkward place
(See something I shouldn't
Arrivaru i sunaturi e cchi su' beddi, ccu chitarri friscaletti e tammureddi,
Ognunu d'iddi cci havi la so storia, ? genti bona, ? genti vera laria.
La notti non si dormi, si fa festa, e balli e canti e ciatu (1) nun nn'arresta,
Lu jornu cch'? pisanti lu livari (2) si joca a li tri carti pri campari.
E musica musica!
La genti voli ridiri e ballari, non c'interessa nenti di pinzari,
E fami, sangu, guerri e testi rutti, su non su' figghi mei cu si nni futti.
E musica musica!
Semu la vostra anima cchi? antica, semu la vostra armuzza nica nica.
Violence breeds violence
Give me the benefit and I'll prove it to you
For every lie you've ever told
For every follower gone cold
I'll make you suffer a thousand fold
It is the stench of what you do
and how you cover up the truth
Behind your fallacies of confidence,
those smirks betraying you
Violence breeds violence
Let us direct you to the bastards who bought it
Violence breeds violence
Let us direct you to the bastards who bought it
For every lie you've ever told
I'll make you suffer a thousand fold
I wish that all your fucking evil in this vile and
rotting world
Say goodbye to all your treasured things
Prepare to greet the suffering
To the fore a clash between divergent
And so the battle begins
Crush them down, erase their creed
World of pain, let them bleed
All of them fail to see,
eyes gone blind in deceit
Shallow are the values of a defect class
Senseless
Fighting for a heartless and degraded cause
Demons of the world gather up their arms
Hallowed be the morals of the perfect class
Splendid!
Fighting for compassion and a virtuous cause,
How perfectly to ravage the earth
Eyes gone blind
Dankness calls
The sun subsides, burning before my eyes
They're bleeding
Give way for night undying
The flames of hope expire
No vision can replace what I feel
This weight of darkness under which you must kneel
So lost!
The night, mother of mercy,
Protect us all from luminosity
The light in which we all burn!
It shines too bright,
The blinding searing lies!
The black one, shield us from this torture
Black one, protect us from these liars
shade us from luminous pretense
Their white facade on innocence
No image will restore who I was
No locked in sickness in everlasting shock
So hear the lies, in consensus, It's our final sacrifice
Come drown us one by one, I'm willing to let go
Undertow from below, sucking harder the deeper we go
The lies repeated in a vortex of demise
Take us down, deep to drown
Bathing in our sins, our final baptism
Come cleanse this world from filth,
I'm willing to let go
In too deep, cannot breathe,
Pulling harder from beneath
It'll soon be over now, come rid this world disease
World deluge
Flood the earth, raise the waters high
Rid the filth, cleanse us out!
Flood the world! Suffocating lies
Washed away by the oceans now
Take us down deep to drown!
We walk this earth and how we preach
Still we have nothing sane to teach
Man is only sick as his lies
And we are in deed an incurable disease
I cast your damnable doctrine out
For faith will never bring proof
It will never carry the weight of truth
Or make sense of our existence
What we know as the human pest
Will never cease to accept as true
The very fallacies on which we build our deceitful
Lost for words but never action
No point in anything you represent
No point in anything you signify
So what's the point of striving to defy?
Lost for words but never battle
Sick to death of all your problems
Sick to death of your mistakes
A damn distaste for all your flaws
So, there is it!
Confess or meet demise
Fight for every wretched thing you hold dear
Now, fight for your lies
Just fight
'Cause I'm in for the kill
To the point!
You worthless shit!
To the point!
When you prepare and plan for so much worse
When you anticipate nothing but another curse
It's just a new day, just a new day
just a fucking new day!
Our curse and damnation
Our curse and desperation, a new awakening!
When words and phrases hold no meaning
And the deaf and dumb arouse no feelings
It's just a new day, just a new day
just a fucking new day!
When the screaming bombs keep falling
And you couldn't if you tried to care less
It's just a new day, just a new day
When nothingness outshines the darkness
And emptiness outweighs your energy
It's just a new day, just a new day
When you prepare and plan for so much worse
When you anticipate nothing but another curse
It's just a new day, just a new day
It's the dark construction of the heart
To seek the things which can be given
To want to un-acquired, the unachievable
It's our need, our ravenous hunger
The deadly wait inside, what makes us covet
To want the un-acquired, the unachievable,
our desire for destruction
And how we love it
And how we covet
This endless low desire
And how we covet
We know it's nature yet don't repress it
We feel the hatred but cant detest it
How slim the chance to conquer and control
Yet we still seek to dominate some destiny
a violent dance of death with narcissus
Our destroyer, the downfall of man
And how we love it
And how we covet
This endless low desire
And how we covet!
Let me
Let me have it all!
From the deepest core of self
From my internal slumber
From the place where all seems futile
And defiance no longer screams
I have awoken
It calls me
My uproar!
It fills me
To rid all
My uproar!
My uproar!
In me new found strength
Born from hate and corruption
My uproar!
No second guessing
No contemplating right or wrong
It's just a fact, this rage is pure!
The suffering, the misery
The sickening dishonesty
The conjuring, the agony
All hail the latest new world order!
Monetary distribution, spot on disorder
A desolate view of outright disaster
The slaughter of man will now go faster
Cast to ruin,
reduce to trash whatever prospects we once had
Religious swine
You spread the word of faith divine onto the world
And strait upright without a doubt, in lack of gen
Never short of ruin
The sweetest taste of death on tongue,
Persistent hate to fill your lungs
Exploitative reign of power,
A poisonous mass of influence
Cursed be you all!
All hail the new world order!
All hail the new disorder!
Where everything is cast to ruin,
reduce to trash whatever prospects we once had
Ideals are buried on plain demand
No intent to stop listening
But the screams were too deafening
My flame of faith abates flickering
A dead mass of doom inside
They keep marching with thundering steps
Triumphant postures
Blank faces of death
Without hope to keep them occupied
Diversion fails me every time
I'm in a hopeless place right now
My efforts doomed to failure
They're still marching
Keep thundering ahead
Victorious attitudes
Blank faces of death
I as infernal
Unholy internal!
I as infernal!
Forever doomed
Exhale - It's like they stand in wait
Inhale - another step of faith
No doubt they would all bleed in unison to keep it red
They keep marching with thundering steps
Triumphant postures
