Our forefathers came with a vision and dream, to settle on this land
They built a great nation with blood and sweat, to benifit all of man
A path of destruction they did not see, they did not understand
Live for the moment instead of the future, typical for all of man
Chorus:
Overpopulation will soon take its toll
The growth of mankind is simply out of control
Soon no where to turn, we run short of precious land
Take our complex problems and place them in our children's hands
Living on a dream, a final prayer, future lies unseen
Hope to make a difference in our lives, its up to you and me
Destroying ourselves day by day, can we change at all
Hope for the best and keep on fighting before we take a fall
Repeat chorus
In the past, wars were benifical, man's its only enemy
Without this devastation we have inequality
People live longer thatn yeasterday, their offspring on the rise
It's mordern science, will it be answer or will it be our demise
Repeat chorus
Solo: Skowron
Repeat third verse
Beer bong - suck it down
Beer bong - don't do it wrong
Beer bong - don't take too long
or else you'll drown
Beer bong - gulp it down
Beer bong - if you can
Beer bong - make it vanish
if you're a man
Chorus:
Heidelberg
Dutch Treat
Black Label
Beer bong - it's very clear
Beer bong - you must be daring
Beer bong - or else the beer
you'll be wearing
Beer bong - and tomorrow
Beer bong - when I wake
Beer bong - to my sorrow
my head will ache

Solo: Rick
Chorus:
Old Milwaukee
Pearl
Trapped in my mind, the answers you won't find
Deep despair, what I feel, lost in time, what I'm feeling
Emotions lost all meaning, can not help what I'm feeling
Tortured by pain, this agony is so insane
Chorus:
Diminishing away, day by day
A life once fulfilling now stripped away
It it's certain I must die
I deserve the right to die
Thousands of dollars everyday
To keep me suffering in a life of pain
I lie rotting be disease, eats away piece by pice
Just leave me be
Living through this Hell, life unravels, just as well
Politics of man won't let me die, they just prolong my demise
A life I did not choose, but it is certain I will lose
A disgrace to myself it I take my family through this hell
Repeat chorus
Solo: Lykins
Repeat first verse
Preacher tell me no lies
Send me more money
Or else I will die
You go to church every day
Trying to find god
So you give them your pay
I'll tell you evil
Yet I do no wrong
Chapter fifteen
Let's sing another song
Have my own show
Even make videos
Just more money
To stick up my nose
Chorus:
He's not afraid to lie
Greed is the reason why
My wife's recovering from coke
I buy it for my family
But I'll never go broke
People come for help they say
You take their money
And you send them away
I have a few billion
Not much to me
I need a lot more
Thanks to my greed
Have fourteen houses
And fifteen cars
Lay back in my mansion
And watch people starve
Repeat Chorus
1st solo: Chris
2nd solo: Rick
The sun is down, the light go on
A glass and concrete hell
The beast aroused, begins to prowl
Aware of every smell
He notes perfume in the air
Sees footprints in the dust
Woman's blood upon the ground
A victim of his lust
Chorus:
He can't resist their call
His night will be their last
Sworn to have them all
A product of the past
Beaten at an early age
A scared and confused child
Fierce revenge on womanhood
Makes mother's wrath seem mild
Every night tortured sleep
No one there to care
Outcast of society
Trapped inside his lair
Repeat chorus
1st solo: Rick
2nd solo: Chris
Something more than animal
Yet something less than man
Striking fear in women's hearts
A sick and twisted plan
Stalking every unlit street
Searching for his prey
Stranger to compassion
Now violence is his way
Work your ass off every day
Nothing do you own
Sold your soul to the system
Another fucking clone
Never ask for nothing
Yet you gave and gave
Now you're trapped
Ambitions shattered
Another mindless slave
Chorus:
You never asked for anything
And that's exactly what you got
They never cared for you
They're glad to see you rot
Nothing's really yours
It's only mortgages and leases
When you die
Then you rest in pieces
Line their pockets with your labor
You go home in debt
Your children die from malnutrition
Your bosses never wept
They justify the life you lead
A life that's full of pain
You were born to serve your master
Your caste revealed by name
Repeat chorus
Solo: Rick
Sick of their oppression
You come to take what's your
Rip their hearts from their body's
Their blood pools on the floor
A smile plays across your lips
Their life breath slowly ceases
Leave their mansion a free man
As they rest in pieces
Our land, our home, America the free
Our vote decides the future can't you see
Their sim to serve, and protect what is theirs
Too much at stake to let others have their share
The world is more than colors black and red
Profit and gain mean little to those dead
While you cut corners to maximize your gain
Your lack of caring sends young men to their graves
Chorus:
Spend all our money on functionless weapons
They never care what the cost
I guess it's too bad it works only on paper
It's our lives not theirs that are lost
The truth is that we're powerless to change
The joke that the pentagons became
To win a war is the last thing on their mind
Career advancement is the main thing you will find
500 million dollars every day
Drains the resourses from projects such as AIDS
Our poor go hungry in cities across the states
Defense contractors steal the food
right off their plates
Chorus:
Solo: Rick
Repeat 1st verse
Repeat chorus
Solo: Chris
Throughout our troubled history
man's exploited fellow man.
Displaying xenophobic fear that's hard to understand
Centuries ago in Europe things were different than today
Foreigners were treated with respect not disdain
But dreams of power soon crushed this fine ideal
They set across the ocean in search of land to steal
They subjugated natives and stripped them of their rights
Sold them into slavery to demonstrate their might.
Socialized hate
Formed by modern state
Chorus:
Can't you see, it's a lie
Don't you know, that they've died
Trapped, by your hate
Stereotyped, convenient
Forced to be subservient
Taught by your state
All you pseudo-christians had yet to have your fun
You called them all subhuman
justifying what you'd done
You sold them into slavery, every last one that you could
I guess that's only natural when you say its in their blood
Soon the racist theory spread to every colony
The crimes that you committed were for everyone to see
Depleted all their hunting grounds and chopped down hallowed woods
Set your plantations on the land
where they once stood
Chorus:
Socialized hate
Formed by modern state
Solo: Rick
The hatred that you planted is still with us today
No longer simply slavery manifests in different ways
Keeps people in dead end jobs, reduces education
Maintain our racial sterotypes, encourages segregation
You propogate injustice saying they've done it to themselves
You lock them in your ghettos,
Deny them any wealth
The dogma you've created makes sure you never see
That underneath a different color
they're just like you and me
Socialized hate
Locked away, I'm hidden from your sight
Forced to live in artificial light
Made to suffer because of what I'm not
A casualty in a war that must be fought
So here I wait like the ones that came before
And when I'm gone they'll need a thousand more
You've decided that my life is yours to take
So now I'm trapped in a world I did not make
Chorus:
Let me go
Leave me be
Stop your tests
Set me free
In my cell, I;m waiting for your test
What hidden law makes you better than the rest
You feed me drugs and see what you have made
Day by day situation growing worse
You weren't content to let neture take its course
Now you suffer by the toxins that you use
Terrified by the fate that you helped choose
Repeat chorus
Solo: Skowron
Repeat verse
Man builds his world, forms it from rock, steel and clay
His view of nature is that it stands in the way
Visions of profit dance in every landlords head
13 in two rooms, four in every bed
Chorus:
Man-made paradise
Falls into decay
Desperate humans
Trapped in their own cage
Look out the window not a free to be seen
They just block traffic, man is forced to intervene
Hiding in darkness, fearing for his life
Man's lost compassion but has replaced it with a knife
Chorus:
First solo: Chris
Second solo: Rick
Desperate children turn to drugs for their fun
Bodies inhabit the morgue claimed by no one
Hiding in shadows, their lives reduced to a lie
Freedom forgotten, no one hears your cry
Intro solo: Skowron
Solo: Lykins
Sometime at an early age a strange call beckoned you
It urged you on to selfishness and told you what to do
It taught you thr word trust was just a tool that you could use
To manipulate your target make them do what you would choose
And still the call kept haunting you as you raced toward the end
You went through life with blinders on, no chance to make a friend
The call that you had answered is the one that's known as greed
It's tempting lure of empty wealth is one few fail to heed
Chorus:
Too late to change. Too late to change.
Just like a lemming you're blind to your fate
You fail to question until it's too late
Too late to change. Too late to change.
Driven by something you don't understand
Your lack of comassion is killing our land
It made you poison once clear rivers, raze forests to the ground
So you cut your expenses at the expense of those around
You did not care your every touch brought sickness to the land
The only green you care bout is the kind that you can spend
Somehow after all this time you make it to the end
And stare into that darkest void that longs to be your friend
But something deep inside of you resists the need to quit
You realize that only emptiness resides within the pit
Repeat chorus
Solo: Skowron
Solo: Lykins
You realize the harm you've done and what could yet come true
The crimes that you've committed and what you still can do
The goals you once held dearly now seem very strange
Forced to deal with decisions you never thought come true
Abandoned by the ones you've trusted, no one's there for you
Internal maelstrom of confusion, unsure of who you are
The things you used in definition didn't take you very far
Chorus:
The things I felt before I'm not sure if they're there
Words which meant so much fall on ears which just don't care
Emotions all entangled, it's time to reearrange
The seasons pass, emotions die, I'm helpless as things change
We often times define ourselves by our titles and our friends
We place our trust in fallacies which eventually will end
But just like dreams that fade away with every morning's light
We're left with only memories, no tangibles in sight
Repeat chorus
Solo: Lykins
Now I find I'm all alone and wondering what is real
Insecure of who I am, afraid of what I feel
But I'm on the path to knowledge, the darkness won't last longer
That which does not kill me, only makes me stronger
Repeat chorus
Things change
Things change
Things change
At the age of 15 your life is defined, it's measured in ounces and grams
The wisdom of ages is soon pushed away for a crystal that's purchased in drams
No time for book learning, the street is your school, it teaches a lesson that's real
You shun lit and science, that's crap for your parents, the only thing real is the deal
Chorus:
Words on a page, they're so hard to read
The will to learn, it's not in your creed
Why should I care, I reeally can't see
The teaching of man, they mean nothing to me
Sports is the answer that's what you've been told,
it's the only way you'll succeed
A ball is your teacher, replaces the textbook,
it's the only tool that you'll need
History and math are soon pushed away by the glory bestowed by a sport
The classroom's forgotten, their teachings outdated,
you live by the rules of the court
Repeat chorus
Solo: Skowron
Solo: Lykins
Although things aren't perfect, they're trying their best,
the choice is left up to you
Resist the temptation of the easy way out,
the promises made just aren't true
You've made your decision have given up trying
and now there is no turning back
Another statistic for our failing system,
another that's slipped through the cracks
Always put others down, passing out the blame
Ignorance and your attitude make you all the same
Never try to befriend, never lend a hand
Draw so many barriers, I'll never understand
Chorus:
Why won't you listen
Why can't you hear
I guess your scene won't let you
Is change what you fear?
You say your scene preaches individuality
The more I see the more I know thats not reality
I walk into your parties, I guess I don't look right
No one even talks to me, no one meets my sight
What makes me so different, so much I can't fit in
Is having different hair and clothes such a mortal sin
Tell me what's wrong with me I'd reeally like to know
I'm trying to be your friend not another foe
Repeat chorus
Solo: Rick
Always put others down, passing out the blame
Ignorance and your attitude make you all the same
Never try to befriend, never lend a hand
Draw so many barriers, I'll never understand
You say your scene preaches individuality
The more I see the more I know thats not reality
I walk into your parties, I guess I don't look right
No one even talks to me, no one meets my sight
Your life begins at 17, you enlist with Uncle Sam
Trained for battle, prepared to die, you don't give a damn.
Your weapon is your life and love shooting the enemy down.
Killing women and children and everyting around
First fought for freedom now for pleasure, you've become obsessed
Never feel at ease until you're laid to rest
Sargeant tells you and you carry out his every command.
No return from this life you're on the 4 year plan.
Chorus:
Born to kill
There's no retreat
Live to fight
A Killing machine
Politicians play a deadly game now
you play it too
Once you die, you're forgotten they'll find somebody new
Seeing through different eyes much better than the old
Block out all the needles carnage
your heart grows cold
Stripped of your humanity, no choice but to obey
Turned into a predator, civilians are your prey
Repeat Chorus
1st solo: Chris
2nd solo: Rick
Seeing through different eyes much better than the old
Block out all the needles carnage
your heart grows cold
Stripped of your humanity, no choice but to obey
Turned into a predator, civilians are your prey
Politicians play a deadly game now
you play it too
Once you die, you're forgotten they'll find somebody new
Repeat Chorus
In their eyes of children is a world I wish could be
Their definitions of this life derived so simply
There's no one to huert them and everything is fair
The cruelty around them seems hidden from their stare
Chorus:
In their eyes I see a world where every man is free
In their eyes I see a better place for you and me
In their eyes I see a world where no one has to die
In their eyes I see a place where there's never need to lie
But as they grow this vision changes with every passing year
Each misconception lost with shedding of a tear
A world that once seemed safe is revealed to be so cold
In a world disfigured by simply growing old
Repeat chorus
Solo: Lykins
The simple definitions of this world you think you know
Will surely start to cramble as your youthful body grows
Love for you is simple, it supplies you with your needs
In our world it's lethal for it bites the hand that feeds
Repeat chorus
Morbid fascination instilled within our young
Raised and weaned on cold steel, the damage it has brung
Little plastic war toys always within reach
Replicas of war, what lessons do they teach
Pre-chorus:
Minimal control, that's why this land is great
Accidental death, the lesson learned too late
Escalating tensions sweeping 'cross our land
A gun beneath your pillow you fail to understand
Images of violence flicker on the screen
Taken in by young eyes unsure of what it means
Violent heritage echoed in their games
Countless shattered lives, no one learns their names
Repeat pre-chorus
Chorus:
Violent by nature (4x)
Solo: Lykins
Children raised on violence, soon no place to run
Setting fights with bullets, the nightmare's just begun
Staring out the window, your child plays with friends
Waving plastic pistols, the circle never ends
Repeat pre-chorus
Talk about humanity, what's wrong and what is right
You take a human being and strip them of their life
A tormented soul, trapped and left to decay
In a controlled environment to die in a demented way
Death row, he's awating, time just drags by
Gas chamber awaits for him to pay for his crime
When will the madness end, will it be today
What terrible thoughts living day by day
Chorus:
The crime was committed, forever left condemned
Left and forgotten, the fortune never ends
Sentenced to death, delayed for seventeen years
Left to go insane now death's his greatest fear
15 thousand dollars monthly that we pay
To keep him alive, now that's insane
Injustice prevails again, it's the American way
No wonder we're in debt, why do we have to pay
If the death penalty exists to make these convicts pay
Kill them when convicted instead of awaiting
To wait seventeen years is totally inhumane
The crime has lost its meaning, it's ruthless to be so vain
Repeat chorus
Solo: Skowron
Repeat first verse
Solo: Rick
Destruction is my goal
Care for no one at all
Death calls
I've killed before
And you won't be my last
That's for sure
Life of pain and I'm to blame
Broken families
Shattered dreams
All because of me
Can't you see
Blinded by the white
You can't see the light
Not tonight
Life of pain and I'm to blame
And now
I've got you hooked
Take another look
At yourself
Lost your home and pride
You can't win the fight
You're not too bright
Life of pain and I'm to blame
And you put to shame
Chorus:
Running scared no where to turn
I've got you now your going to burn
You've watched your life pass you by
The life you lead is one big lie
Solo: Chris
Ignite the days.
Today has got me down,
And nothings stronger now,
Than what I've come to know.
As day begins to break,
It's all that I can take,
And cracks begin to show.
The day has won again with wearisome routine,
It ways me down and renders my mind to machine,
Morning hours come with certainty,
Like fireworks to flame we work just to ignite the days.
And they are breaking like a burden to our back,
With promised failure faults and foreordained attack,
It's burning down this fuse, and burning fast,
For the sake of walking home,
Another night they fear,
They fear the sound of sirens.
For a company so fueled so filled with fight, it's clear,
Destructions sure to find them.
(And come 1 AM)
It's damage control again,
Drunken anthems as they all cry,
Don't fuck with us tonight!
With the sirens ablaze and no chance
for escape they know that this is child's play.
With those sirens still ablaze killing chances of escape,
It's safe to say,
You won't sleep much tonight!
Don't fuck with the Chuck!
Don't fuck with the Chuck!
Don't fuck with the Chuck!
Don't fuck with the Chuck!
And come 1 AM,
It's damage control again,
Drunken anthems as they all cry,
Don't fuck with us tonight!
With the sirens ablaze and no chance
for escape they know that this is child's play.
Now the bleak suburban streets turn into casualties,
They want a riot so they make one.
And now with a rage to rival,
Charles Lee Ray you better prey you make it home,
I inhaled the winter air Yeah, I can see us there
You were always by my side, you never left it
Then we snapped a photograph, one that I'll always have
The city was dressed in lights
You can't believe in what I've promised,
you can't believe a word I say
If it was love then wouldn't I have stayed?
I swear I wish I could take back the lies and the stories
Cause now I'm left with only memories
I'm missing the way things were
I never thought that I would throw it away
Now the life that we had planned, down by the ocean sand
Will be nothing more than just an empty promise?
All that there is left to do, is sit and think of you
How could I have lost it all in one night?
I swore I'd never let you go, but I threw it away
I swore I'd never let you go, that night threw it away
And tonight I'll call you mine for the last time
I will always regret all the things that were said
That was the last time I'd see your face
I should have made you stay
No, I'll never be the same No, I'll never find my way
I'm missing the way things were
Can you spare a minute for me to clear the fucking air
It's been too long and too many songs
and its obvious that you don't care
I put my faith in nothing, for you to walk away
Break out the lies, you have nothing left to say
It's time to leave cause I couldn't believe
what you were telling me
But I don't mind that I'm on my own,
now you're stranded all alone
Is that all you can say "are you better off this way?"
You call me selfish, you would be with a life like this
I can't breathe and I can't believe you would leave
for something like this
I put my faith in nothing, for you to walk away
Get your hands up make some noise,
Let those fuckers hear your voice,
A thousand lungs,
One thousand chances to say something.
Loud and clear just one more time,
We're going well into the night,
If we're still alive to tell the tale
of what went down tonight.
We made our way through disbelief!
The clones, cliches the brazen thieves.
Only to find!
We should have been here months ago.
Sit down next to a smoking gun!
Realise we're right back at square one,
And now we're here only drinking takes the pain away.
Come on in and drink yourself into oblivion,
We made our way through disbelief.
Before the night is through you'll find us in oblivion,
We made our way through disbelief.
Two years of getting nowhere fast,
Hoping this grip on us won't last,
And now we're here the temperatures at boiling point again.
Is this a flaw in our design,
A missing circuit? Faulty Wires?
How do we get off this assembly line?
Come on in and drink yourself into oblivion,
We made our way through disbelief.
Before the night is through you'll find us in oblivion,
We made our way through disbelief.
Don't stop the rock until the worlds collapse!
Don't stop the rock until the worlds collapse!
Don't stop the rock until the worlds collapse!
Don't! Stop!
We made our way through disbelief!
The clones, cliches the brazen thieves.
Only to find!
We should have been here months ago.
Come on in and drink yourself into oblivion,
We made our way through disbelief.
Before the night is through you'll find us in oblivion,
If all you're cards are on the table, What's that up you're sleeve,
God! I hope you planned this well.
And now you're lighting fuses, hoping to save face,
God! You know this shit won't sell.
If this is what you worked for, Then honey you fell short.
You'll get half of what you wanted and twice what you deserve,
When all your plans are up in flames with every bridge that you have burned,
And our worse case scenario is a lesson you will learn,
When you get half of what you wanted, And twice what you deserve!
Lock and load boys check the batteries, What's that up your sleeve,
God! This scene is painted hell.
Is this warm conversation hoping to save face,
God! But only time will tell.
If this is what you worked for, Then honey you fell short.
You'll get half of what you wanted and twice what you deserve,
When all your plans are up in flames with every bridge that you have burned,
And our worse case scenario is a lesson you will learn,
When you get half of what you wanted, And twice what you deserve!
If this is what you worked for, Then honey you fell short.
You'll get half of what you wanted and twice what you deserve,
When all your plans are up in flames with every bridge that you have burned,
And our worse case scenario is a lesson you will learn,
When you get half of what you wanted, And twice what you deserve!
Twice what you deserve!
Twice what you deserve!
Twice what you deserve!
There's something in your eyes, That tells me you were,
Right again this time.
But theres nothing I can do, To take back all the,
Pain that I caused you.
You say I was wrong, You said that I had ruined all and everything.
And I know that I was wrong back then, I didn't know to fix things,
Put them back the way they were, Back the way they were.
If I could just replace, The lines from all those,
Tears left on your face.
With shining memories, And smiles from all the,
Great things that we did.
(Then this would be so easy for me)
You say I was wrong, You said that I had ruined all and everything.
And I know that I was wrong back then, I didn't know to fix things,
Put them back the way they were, Back the way they were.
I know!
That I will miss my mark,
And end up right back at the start with nothing more than where do I begin.
As she!
Waits patiently for me,
To make things right with her tonight then she'll be waiting for eternity.
And when all is said and done.
You say I was wrong, You said that I had ruined all and everything.
And I know that I was wrong back then, I didn't know to fix things,
I never said that this would be easy,
you gave up trying before we had the chance
This is my time to shine, but in this town we all die young
So scream at the world, we'll show them we are here
How could you be so selfish?
This is your chance, prove me wrong
And when you fall asleep, I know you'll dream of me
You'll dream of me, you'd look so wonderful dead
Find your way back home
I've watched the way that you fall, it's so tempting
You've let me down
I've watched the way that you fall, it's so tempting
So prove me wrong
So, when you fall asleep, I see straight through,
I see straight through those crooked lies
I can prove you wrong, I can shove it down your throat this time
When you cry, when you sleep, when you sing, when you laugh, I need you.
Because I am fallin in love with you
But Im careful because you are a MC Boy.
Refrain:
MC Boy isnt good for you MCBoy is good
MC Boy isnt good for you, MC Boy is good
I love a MC Boy I love a MC Boy I love a Mc Boy I love a MC Boy
First I love you and you me, too. But when I asked you, you let me know you are not
love me , too.
First I love you, and you me , too.
But when I asked you, you let me know you are not love me , too.
