how the fuck can you have pride in a country
how empty,ignorant and blind do you gotta be
when you fly your filthy fucking flag
your saluting n empty,wortless,useless farce
yur saluting racism
from the day the country started
it's been a part of it
and your saluting your own oppressor
and if your that fucking stupid
you deserve everything you get
your country is shit
your country is total shit and you're fat
with pride as you as you swallow every bit of it
i hope you go first in a war you've pay for
and i hope you still love your country when
your riddled with bullets in foreign country
showerd with bombs and left for dead
so fly their flag
and keep swallowing their shit
i'll never be proud or be supporting it
and i hope one day you all get your chane
as you die for freedom
the power is still in their hands
your country is shit
and you're all fucking shitif your
ignorant enough to believe it and support it
i hope you go first in a war you pay for
and think your protecting freedom when
you're killig innocent women and children
preserving capitalism
for the ones that stay in power
preserving your right to pay taxes
dying for the right to be kept in line
i hope that one day you all get your chance
as your dying for freedom
i don't have shit but i don'y t really give a fuck
i'll live a life of misery before i'm giving in
complacency and security
don't do a fucking thing for me
every freedom you think you've got was given
and just the same it can be taken away
ask yourself if your really free
with your pointless job and life of conformity
[Chorus:]
if you think they'll get me like they've gone and got you
then you got it all wrong you got it all wrong
if you think i'm ever giving up or ever giving in
you got it fucking wrong
it's been 23 years of the same old shit
and i still havn't found a way i can deal with it
you've tryed to knock me down with your authoity
but your fucked up fucking laws don't mean a thing to me
you say that i'm wrong but i know that i'm right
because what did any of your laws ever do for me
nothing but protection for the privilleged few
there's something i ain't got and it ain't nothing that i want
those rich fucking bastards still stand tall
while me and you we ain't got nothing at all
working and slaving getting nothing in return
don't you think it's about time the tables get turned
i don't want wealth or the american dream
it's all a sham i won't be part of that sceme
if you think that it's okay and you buy into that con
Power and profit are the law of the land
Thoese who live by the knife will die by their own hand
But the rich aren't the ones who die on the front lines
And the system maintains whether we live or die
[Chorus]
Your godsand leaders and your shit fucking system
Create warfare, arefare
The rise and we fall, they prosper, we perish
It doesn't matter wheather we live or die
In their warfare, warfare
This is warfare
Theres always a target to keep us divided
The fucking scum in power won't stop till we're all dead
Insane world leaders still wage wars for profit
You can protest and protest but it won't fucking change!
From the dawm of time it's always the same
The threat of your freedom leads to financial gain
But the rich aren't te ones who die on the front lines
Yet their system maintains wheater we live or die
This is.......
Warfare, Warfare
Warfare, Warfare
Warfare, Warfare
Warfare, Warfare
The rich aren't the ones who die
On the front lines
And their system maintains wheather we live or die
Lost, out of control
Nowhere to run - terra firma !
Losing all time of living in this world
No chance, gone insane
We're living in a dead man's world
Time, seems to fade away
Further everyday - terra firma !
Losing all time of living in this world
No chance, gone insane
We're living in a dead man's world
Eyes to eyes
In a battle of lost control
Lead our world
Knowing that the bomb is going to blow
Feel the world come to mend
Images - ill repent - violent remedy
Feel the world come to end
Violent remedy !
Mass confusion
Dying are the people that lost their soul
Dying for the people of minds of stone
They rot - they rot
Dying are the people that lost their soul - the blood
Dying for the people of minds of stone - the blood
Feel the world come to mend
Images - ill repent - violent remedy
Feel the world come to end
Violent remedy !
Eyes to eyes
In a battle of lost control
Lead our world
Knowing that the bomb is going to blow
Lost, out of control
Nowhere to run - terra firma !
Losing all time of living in this world
sometimes it feels to close to being over
and i want to get rvenge before it is to late
revenge on every coward fucking pig
antagonizing, victimizing protectors of the state
where human respect is in order
freedom is based on respect
respect must be earned
by the spilling of their blood
make no mistakes what the fucking pigs are
pist off and drunk with power waiting to brutalize
won't take the brutality any fuckin longer
can hardly wait to see the fear in their eyes
the bastards beat us in line and keep us as slaves
fuck them all and piss on their graves
one more time to get beaten, arrested or harrassed
[Music: Adams / Harrington / Esquivel]
[Lyrics: Esquivel]
They're mislead by authority
And they're guinea pigs with
dignity
With everlasting memories
Frozen thoughts and bloody
dreams
[Chorus:]
Mesmerized
Souls left behind
In the killing fields
That leave you blind
In the war of conspiracy
Young men fight for humanity
When they're pawned off to the
killing fields
Smell the stench of misery
[Repeat chorus]
Politicians send them off to war
Deep within the front line
The only man who's taught to
survive
As desperation freezes time
Innocent lives are wrongly put at
stake
Negotiate the fields of blood
Out in the cold they're taught to
survive
Salvation runs in the blood
Off to the fields of blood
Into the fields of blood
Off to the fields of blood
Die in the fields of blood
They're mislead by authority
Soldiers die with dignity
Survivors live with memories
Broken thoughts and broken
dreams
[Music: Adams / Harrington / Kaufmann]
[Lyrics: Esquivel]
Into optic illusions
Try to foresee what is to be
made&Chosen; I may be the one
Chosen I just might be the one to
live
I never heard a word they said
But now I see the light shining
Through eyes
It leaves me pacified
Illusions leave me blind
Black is all I see
Formed is a twisted image
That was chosen for me
I never questioned why
I never saw a reason for suicide
Or planned to take my life
The will to live my mind sets free
Into the vast of misery
Tomorrow seems so far away
Illusions of conspiracy
My conscience is my only friend
Learn to live my life in peace
The chosen, I may be the one
people made to feel guilty for the inequality
of a systme they played no part in creating
made to blame themselves for the shortcomings
of a society that makes it's description of success unattainable
create a society where human misery
and poverty are repugnant to that society
not an indication of a lack of initiative
create a scoiety based on people not enterprise
the future this society offers is none
the society that offers non deserves none
every institution used to oppress or pacify
must be completely destroyed
burn the welfare offices, prisons, trade unions
there is nothing sacred about these institutions
they all play a part in maintaining the prison
Just another punk kid growing up fast
Running down the street police on my back
Listened to the records, listen to the words
Realized I'd never be part of your world
[Chorus]
From the east to the west
to the other side of town
from the edge of the river
It cant be found
from the streets to the alleys
with our backs against the wall
another year's gone
and we still gotta fuck all
Always said what I wanted to say
You can fuck right off and get outta my way
Never wanted to believe in your society
I'll drink to my friends, fuck off to my enemies
[Chorus]
Here's to the ones that are never coming back
ain't gonna die out, but I ain't living in the past
You know I'm still here and I'm giving what I got
I'll never be sold You know I'll never be bought
[Music: Harrington / Vander Ende]
[Lyrics: Esquivel]
Step back and listen to what I say
Don't worry, put your trust in me
What to believe when your
head's overfilled with these lies
The naked truth separates the
people lost in time
[Chorus:]
As if
There's nothing to do
Reach back
And pull your past through
Step back and listen to what I say
[Repeat chorus]
What to believe when your
head's overfilled with these lies
The naked truth separates the
people lost in time
I see the future. I see your life
I see you live your life on
borrowed time
You live for your own morals
I do what I like 'cause this is my
life
I do as I please
With no sacrifice
Guess what ? Step back
[Repeat first verse, chorus]
Step back and listen to what I say
Shattered minds of weak decrepit souls
Distant signs of dark deception grows
Brought up to the shining of the light
Eternal forces corrupt your mind
Mislead from birth to death
Empty feelings of insanity is known
Living everyday in fear
The pain that's growing near
Is there a way for you to see
Why you live in a fantasy
You live your life in confusion
You don't know how to set your mind free
You've learned to forget and let them be
That's why you live in misery
You live your life in confusion
You don't know how to set your mind free
You've learned to forget and let them be
Insanity !
Shattered minds of weak decrepit souls
Distant signs of dark deception grows
Brought out to the shining of the light
Return to the comfort of the night
Slowly dying in the freezing cold
Look up to the sky, upon the cold and grey horizon,
the smell of death fills the air, as the fate of human kind is sealed,
nothing's won and nothing gained when everything you know is gone,
there's no place to run or hide,
and there's no chance for survival.
Who's won and lost when we're spoils of the last war?
No place left to run or hide when the bombs are fallin from the sky,
no chance left for protest when your final fate has been decided,
the smell of death fills the air and the fate of human kind is sealed,
no one's won and lost, we're all just spoils of the last war.
Who's won and lost when we're spoils of the last war?
Look up to the sky upon the cold and dead horizon,
no place left to run or hide when the bombs have fallen from the sky,
the smell of death fills the air and the fate of human kind is sealed,
no one's won and lost we're all just spoils of the last war.
Who's won and lost when we're spoils of the last war?
Slayground - meets you !
Born full of innocence, right from day one
Infancy our future, from violence they run
Caused by sickness that diseases this world
Into the open where it must be hurled
You know what I'm saying ?
So what Mr. Morals, if you think there's a cure
It sure won't be helping that raped little girl
She now lives her life through intense mental pain
While you're trying to fix your better-off-dead brain
So what Mr. Morals
Waiting in confinement
You know you'll pay the cost
Now tell me what do you know
Now that their life is lost
Waiting for answers
Slayground - meets you !
Trapped inside four walls of fear
Distant signs of pain growing near
Love the torture, love the pain
Endless torture driving you insane
Take the time to look
Look into the future of mankind
See the lives that it took
Set to rest, see illusions of life
Illusions, disillusions of life
Never heard your cries - disillusions of life
Illusions, disillusions of life
Never heard your cries - disillusions of life
See yourself, see illusions
Which appear in the mirror
Only time can tell you
What to expect of your future growing near
Take the time to see
Take the time to conceive this world
Don't be confined of what will be
Or trapped inside four walls of fear
Illusions, disillusions of life
Never heard your cries - disillusions of life
Illusions, disillusions of life
Never heard your cries - disillusions of life
Can you see tomorrow ?
Does your future tell you lies ?
Seeing signs of sorrow
Deep within, no one hears your cries
Trapped inside
the right to work for some else is self imposed slavery
a will degradation of ones self what kind of right is that
there is no way in hell! i will do this for the rest of my life
worthless wage slave making someone else rich
[Chorus:]
the mainstreams of existence are made unafordable
and alternative means are then made illegal
and so were forced to play a game in a viscious circle
a game of oppression,munipulation and slavery
under the threatning shadow of being thrown in jail
it's happened before and now it's happening again
rancid rotten bastards fucking trying to cash in
they're on tv and they're on the radio
on the cover of spin magazine how far is it going to go
exploiting punk rock to the useless fucking masses
with mass media saturation and financial fucking backing
we won't be fooled by your prepackaged rebellion
bought and sold by corporate fuckheads
when you work with the enemy that
makes you the same kind of scum
who has robbed our fucking movement from the very day that it began as you
riot riot riot your fucking self right to the bank
i know we all know that you're just a fucking rip off
[Chorus:]
rip off
rip off.
rip off
fuck you fuck off.
radio radio what a fucking load of shit
and by the way what the fuck does the radio have to do with it
just another clever trick they got to hush the humming masses
while they buy buy buy this weeks overplayed trash
is today green or tomorrow fucking greener?
for the bosses making money while your spewing out crap love songs
what the fuck is punk about road managers and booking
agents or backstage rooms and pre show exercises
twenty thousand seat arenas..oh c'mon you make me fucking sick
in 1976 they started out to put an end to all that useless shit
it's happened before and it's happening again but you're never gonna fool us
because you're just a bunch of rip-offs
Thousands of the unknown who have died
Millions of the widows still wonder why
The children they've left behind
Their minds now shot to waste
Innocent victim's now a widow
Mixed emotions
The child's depression
What is the answer ?
To the questions
The widow wants to know why
Day to day never knowing why
Not knowing who's to blame
In search of reason
Don't know what to say
Don't know who's to blame
Mixed emotions within
The shattered widow's mind
Left with scars forever
Mixed emotions
The child's depression
What is the answer ?
To the questions
The widow wants to know why
Confession in the darkness of life
Thousands of the unknown who have died
Millions of the widows
Mixed emotions
The child's depression
What is the answer ?
To the questions
[Music: Adams / Harrington / Vander Ende]
[Lyrics: Esquivel]
This is the real thing
There's no reality
Is there a promised afterlife to seek
Wandering endlessly
Drift on through the time
If you're heading for disaster
You're bound to see the light
Is there a new way
To live and die
Is there a future or afterlife
I've tried to see through
But to die is to die
I've tried to see through times
The promised afterlife
I've tried to see through times
The promised afterlife [X2]
[Repeat first verse]
Wandering endlessly
Drift on through the time
If the end is to be over
Should we pray to see the light
So try to see through time
See my eyes
There is no promised afterlife [X2]
Is there a new way
To live and die
Is there a future or afterlife
I've tried to see through
[Music: Adams / Harrington]
[Lyrics: Esquivel / Harrington / Kaufmann]
Freakshow in the streets
Take over what they please
One word we thought was safe
Too late, the crime was made
We the people, where do we
stand
Is there a way to resolve
The power trip in this land
[Chorus:]
The power trip in this land
The power trip which we see
The power trip that we fear
The power trip...
Don't put a price on reality
Can't put a price on poverty
Don't put a pine on humanity
You know I doubt your morality
[Repeat chorus]
So why must we fight
Scared for this life
See the man deprived of freedom
As he's stripped of his life
So why must we die
Snipped of his life
See a man deprived of freedom
As he begs for his life
[Repeat chorus]
Don't put a price on reality
Can't put a price on poverty
Don't put a price on humanity
You know I doubt your integrity
I just cant take much more of this oppression
im going out of my head and its war not oppression
im gonna go out for a war
im gonna sit down and have talk
there asking me how and there asking me why
have u ever seen grown men cry
police police police oppression, police police police oppression
really find it hard even walking round the streets
hey i know u son ill knock u off ur feet
same number a million times before,
shut ur mouth son or ill knock u on the floor
police police police oppression, police police police oppression
I just cant take much more of this oppression
im going out of my head and its war not oppression
im gonna go out for a war im gonna sit down and have talk
there asking me how and there asking me why have u ever seen grown men cry
police police oppression police police oppression
lying in the cells is really no fun
cut the bricks learn some tricks
ask me no questions and i'll tell u no lies
aint doing nothing really a crime
police police police oppression
police police police oppression
[Music: Adams / Harrington]
[Lyrics: Esquivel]
Beyond recognition
Release me from this grasp
Another perfect nothing
Memories of disrupt from my
past
It's a lie, I know not why
A sin forever within
The darkest side of my mind
I feel it bring me
Down to shelter
Come again this life I feel
I feel a pretense slowly taking
over
In time I seem to dwell and fade
To a source beyond recognition
I sleep through my nightmares
Loneliness I must feel
And when I cry for laughter
My sorrows appeal
So come back again this life I feel
Numb against the pain that felt
so real
Time and time again I say I try to
Bring forth the light which is
supposed to be
So come again this life I feel
Numb against the pain so real
In desperate search of reason
Curiosity rules my mind
I'm drowning in confusion
Perfect nothing I know not why
Come again this life I feel
Once again I feel a presence
taking over
In time I seem to dwell and fade
To a source beyond recognition
A sin forever within
The darkest side of my mind
I feel it bring me down to shelter
Coming into this world you're fed a complete line of shit about the choices in life and how to deal with it by the teenage, years youre just a pawn in their game the universal goal is for everyone to be the same
I won't change at all.
Not for you or anyone else your opinion means shit to me.
I belive in myself.
I won't change at all.
Not for you or anyone else your opinion means shit to me.
I belive in myself.
By the twenties you've got a career and a plan go to war to be a fuckin man. What a fuckin scam by your thirties you've got some kids and a wife and question what the fuck did I do with my life.
I won't change at all.
Not for you or anyone else your opinion means shit to me.
I belive in myself.
I won't change at all.
Not for you or anyone else your opinion means shit to me.
what have we got? we ain't fot shit
shut your mouth and get use to it
ther's still no future
and there's still no hope
and any kind of change seems like a fucking joke
how long are we going to sit back and take their shit
and why the fucking fuck
do we gotta live like this?
what's it going to take for us to open our eyes
and when the fuck are we going to realize?
there gotta be
there's gotta be another way
for me and you to live
but i'm afraid we ain't got no time
there ain't no time
when were fighting each other
rob,rape, torturing, and killing one another
they sit back and laugh
and we all remain divided
any kind of resistance
or revolution has now subsided
there gotta be
there's gotta be another way
but human kind keeps proving everyday
that we ain't got no fucking time
there ain't no time for human kind
your lust for domination leaves you all so blind
what's it gonna take for you to open your eyes
and what's it gonna take
for you to finally realize
there's gotta be
there's gotta be another way
for me and you to live but i'm afraid
You say war is waged to benefit the people
And that laws are set up to preserve democracy and freedom
You can fuck right off
You think Im following your laws?
I wont fall in line
or be a soldier for your cause!
There's no reason
To waste your life in another mans war
There's no reason
to waste your lifetime following their laws
You say war is waged
to benefit the nation
Preserve Security and Protect us from annihilation
Freedom ain't freedom when your backs against a wall
And you're on your own
I you're against the law.
There's no reason
To waste your life in another mans war
There's no reason
to waste your lifetime following their laws
When war is declared
It's assured annihilation
We suffer while they prosper
That's the way its always been
You can fuck right off
you think Im following your rules
I wont fall into line
Or be a soldier for your cause
There's no reason
To waste your life in another mans war
There's no reason
to waste your lifetime following their laws
every day that goes by it all seems the same
people work and people slave and piss their lives away
people taking and never getting it's all the same old shit
while everything around us is crubling bit by bit
you fuck right off if you think that i 'll play a part
in this system that was doomed right from the start
a system built on slavery, domination, and degradation
production and consumption and over all corruption
fuck right off if you think you have a say
in this system that takes your life away
you can rock the boat or rock the vote the choice is up to you
but i won't put faith in those who are fucking me and you
i don't give a shit if the system falls to peices
if it all stops if it all ceases
it's not getting any better and it couldn't get much worse
the only hope and dream i have is to watch it all destroyed
[Chorus:]
there ain't no future and there ain't no hope
for humankind or change within the system
there ain't no future and there ain't no hope
in a fucked up system that takes your life away
there ain't no future and there ain't no hope
rules and regulations getting in our way
there ain't no future and there ain't no hope
[Music: Harrington / Vander Ende / Adams]
[Lyrics: Esquivel]
Day after day
I turn the page another suicide
Page after page
Another death in the back of my
mind
Why must it be this way at all
Why can't we live our lives
I'd hate to be one of the many
No compromise
[Chorus:]
Placed for all to see
Who used to be
Family's left with nothing
But a faint memory
Day after day
I turn the page another child dies
Sin after sin
Another reason for a human
sacrifice
Why must it be that way at all
Why can't we live our Iives
I'd hate to be one of the many
No compromise
[Repeat chorus]
[Bridge:]
See my eves I don't find time
To look at the price we pay
Easy come and easy go
Look at the life time cycle
Yeah, the people time forgot
[Repeat first verse, chorus]
You, you know the choice you
make
Who, who's next in line to pay
[Chorus:]
Who used to be
Now a faint memory
You see it on TV
The people pass away
Family's left with nothing
Welcome to lower existence
Prey on the innocent
Welcome to the rude life
Notice life where time stands still
See the other side of life
Where the poverty shows their wealth
When crime means dying
Placed to steal just to survive
Pillage and raping
Smell the stench of the rich gone poor
They wait for an answer
One day they know they're gonna pay
They've lost all their pride
They've lost their mind in a mental phase
A time will come and you will see
Approach the gutters of poverty
Stench of poor left to die
Smell the brains of a lunatic's mind
Welcome to lower existence
Prey on the innocent
Welcome to the new life
Gaze the streets
See the other side of life
Notice where time stands still
Where the poverty shows their wealth
When crime means dying
Smell the stench of the rich gone poor
Pillage and raping
just another way to keep people docile
by feeding them abstract rewards depending on who is in power
by twisting and changing the bileball to mean whatever they decide
the oldest tool of oppression to play on people's conscience
obey the rule accept the horror in return for the afterlife
suffer now obey now or the debt will be payed for eternity
god's so-called word is nothing more than a lie
it is the voice of government speaking to ignorance
as the church influence grows our freedom falls away
by enslaving our minds to the infamous lie there is no hope for
resistance
wills are succumb to the powers above
and conned by the blatant stupidity of a god
smash the churches, ignore the word of god
Well, it seems like yesterday
Young and bored, we got nothing to live for
We set out to right the wrongs
Screamed out in defiance against the things we hated
Destroyed ourselves with what we created
I thought it would never change
But some things just can't always stay the same
It's too late to change the past
And even if I could, it wouldn't change the fact
That the good times never seem to fucking last
It's too late to change the past
The good times never seem to fucking last
And now it all just seems to fade away
But tomorrow is another day
Now yesterday's a day away
We can't take back the stupid things we've said
What a shame, it's sad to say
And who would have thought we'd throw it all away
Throw it all away, what a fucking waste
It's one step forward and two steps back
That's the way it is and that's the way it's always been
Too much drinking from too much thinking
We destroyed ourselves with what we created
And now everything just seems to fade away
It's too late to change the past
The good times never seem to fucking last
And now it all just seems to fade away
But tomorrow is another day
It's too late to change the past
The good times never seem to fucking last
And now it all just seems to fade away
But tomorrow is another day
But I'll never forget the times we had
The memories, some good, some bad
And the brand new faces, far off places
The friends we met, some dead and gone
It's sad to say, what a fucking shame
That things can never be the same
As time goes by we'll realize
[Music: Harrington / Adams / Vander Ende]

Inside looking out
Can you believe what you see
The unpleasant sight
For a place with so much greed
Infectious destiny
I find it hard to make my stand
Made to reality - conformed
society
[Chorus:]
Inside looking out
Seems so never ending
Inside looking out
Seems so never ending
Inside looking out
What can you see
Beyond without doubt - What to
believe
What to believe
When all reality lost its mind
What to conceive
Dealing with the people when the
problems
Don't fade away
And you find yourself dreaming
for...
Dreaming for another day
Inside looking out
Can you believe what you see
The unpleasant sight
For a place with so much greed
Infectious destiny
I find it hard to make my stand
I see no way out
every fucking morning is the same bullshit
drag my ass out of bed and stagger off to work
working for shit another eight hours gone
my life is fucking pointless i'm getting nothing done
fucking worthless parasite do your own fucking work
i'm not going to be a slave for the rest of my life
fuck that fuck you i won't give in
i won't submit to your self destructive lifestyle
i would rather be miserable fo the rest of my life
than be a happy idiot in your happy little world
and so a third of my life is gone with nothing to show
just to get up and do it all again
[Chorus:]
i hate everything i fucking hate it all
i hate everyone i fucking hate them all
it's hard to live in a world when you fucking hate it all
everyone and every thing you see makes you fucking sick
right wing left wing sitting on a fence
stupid fucking people think your going to change the world
that's the thing that fucks the most i know for a fact
nothing is ever going to change it's going to stay the same
no matter what i do no matter what i say
it's all a fucking waste of time it's getting nothing done
i can yellscream and small all i want
but it doesn't fucking matter i'm playing a losing game
i live like a dog in a house full of shit
the best part is i get to pay for it
sunday morning it's the same bullshit
mindless apethetic fuckers flocking to church
jerking off with god trying to run peoples lives
i don't need your ignorance get he fuk out of my face
fucking fat pig drive around in your car
who the fuck do you think you are to have power over me
with your gun, nightstick, and mace come on be a man
beat the shit out of someone so you can get paid
worthless white power peice of nazi fucking shit
five on one come on and show me
how white you fucking are and how you can fight for your race
how much fucking longer can this go on
how many more lives ruined and completely fucking wasted
to ensure there is no fate to capitalism or those who enforce it
on dillusioned people who don't stop to think or question
that this sytem and this way of life are completely self destructive
from birth to school to work obey and be submissive
i won't be beaten down by this fucking shit existence
that smashes people down with little or no resistence
[Chorus:]
how much longer
how much longer
how much longer
how much longer can this go on?
hoe much longer until people start to see
that capitalism holds us down with the lie it implies
and every day that it survives it suffocates us more and more
with so many lies and obstaclesto keep us pacified
diverting our frustartions and subduing our isolation
look around the world and you'll see what it's created
war and death and famine and complete annihilation
for what?fucking profit of course the competition
the power is in the hands of the few
there are too many homeless too many starving
they don't care they don't listen
their profit is more important than our pain
than our oppression than our human rights
sure take from the rich and give to the poor
but when will the greed stop when will the human rights
be of some importance
they can have their money and their system
we can't have freedom with restrictions
we can't have freedom and equity with an entire
everyday is full of fucking boredom and frustration
and everyone you see is full of ignorance and apathy
have the good times gone leaving just a faded memory?
is there any hope at all for any kind of unity?
will we sit back and let those bastards get the best of us
just sit back while the system is destroying us
sit and fucking take it as they take our lives away
i'm not going to tke it if it ends up fucking killing me
[Chorus:]
fuck this city fuck this city up
are you really happy while your living in shit?
fuck this city fuck this city up
what the fuck are they going to do about it?
fuck this city fuck this city up
lets show these bastards that were sick of fucking taking it
fuck this city fuck this city up
what the fuck are they going to do about it?
all around this city fucked up institutions still stand strong
and every day that goes by this shit still keeps on going on
meat shops strive and survive as the butchers blade is carving
rich scum rob and exploit while still there are so many starving
will we just sit back and let those bastards get the best of us
just sit back while this system is destraving us
sit and fucking take it as they take our lives away
i'm not going to take it if it ends up fucking killing me
[Chorus]
still...rich scum prosper as were force to live in shit
still...we sit and take it as we try to find way to deal with it
still...the butchers knife reigns down on the innocent
still...those murdering fucking bastards get a way with it
still...each day of our lives are spent in agony and misey
still...this fucking system stands strong as it's killing you and me
will we just sit back and let those bastards get the best of us
just sit back while this system is destraving us
sit and fucking take it as they take our lives away
i'm not going to take it if it ends up fucking killing me
sit uponed your high horse of superiority
dishing out convictions and your hate filled opinions
like your anything better than a useless peice of shit
your spiteful hatred reflects your ignorance
passing laws and pushing for measures
your useless opinions don't amount to shit
when you push them on others is where you cross the line
a line you need to be shoved back across
[Chorus:]
fuck them all
fuck them all
fuck them all the ain't worth shit
who the fuck do you think you are to judge peoples choices who the fuck do
you think you are to judge peoples sexuallity your bible imposed morals
and family values
don't mean a thing to me or free thinking people
from the day you are born you are fed a story
go to your grave with your country's glory
fighting for your country fighting for your flag
fighting for the money and the rich of the land
expendable fodder you're played like a pawn
greed of your leaders will be your demise
fighting for the ego's and the status of your leaders
not justice and freedom as you're bred to believe
come and learn what you can in the army
skills of hate power and control
come and learn what it means to be a man
two flags fly in a blood red sky
under the same sun
flames roaring over shatter the silence
bringing hell from above
the end is nigh as you fall two your knees
and pray to your idols
your hopes and dreams all start to fade
there's no chance for survival
..it's your final hour
two soldiers die from opposite sides
under the same sun
sworn to allegiance proudly they march
pawns of the system
spent rounds hit the ground as you fall to your knees
it's ashes to ashes
your hopes and dreams are carried away
like many before you
..it's your final hour
[the guitar solo]
protest alone or begging for peace
won't upset the system
as long as there are nations,leaders and gods
our days are numbered
a line has been dawn which side are you on?
it's a fight for survival
your fate lies before you
so stand and be counted
rise or fall
another day goes by of this insanity
we fight one another not the real enemy
rich bastard scum still rule this land
while their stolen wealth and positions of power go unchallenged
judges, lawyers and an army of police put
property over human life and cage thousands every day
while we're bashing our heads against the same old walls
divisions in our class insure their positions of power
fight the real enemy
fight the real enemy
they ain't never gonna stop until we fucking stop them
fight the real enemy
stop fighting one another, fight the real fight
fight the real enemy
corporations and bosses reap profit by millions
as we slave to make them rich, we all live in shit
the religious right grows stronger in numbers
leading legions of brainwashed masses into submission
nazi scum still violently emerge
for fucks sake why don't they get the boot they deserve
all these people freely take our rights
are you happy with it? well it makes me fucking sick
there's plenty of legitimate targets that surround us
recognize the oppression and real enemies around us
racist, sexist shit keeps us divided
only when we unite will they ever be defeated
lets get past that shit there's an enemy before us
stop making it easier for the system that destroys us
when we start working together on our own with no leaders
and stop giving those bastards opportunity to beat us
Signed your name on the dotted line
Your promising future was soon left behind
Eyes open wide, god and gun at your side
Your hopes and dreams soo fall by the wayside
[Chorus]
But not it's
Left right, left right
Orders are givin don't step out of lin
Left right, left right
Face front to attention gun at your side
Left right, left right
A promising future that promises nothing
Left right, left right
But a cross on your grave
No one could prepare for what lie ahead
in a blink of an eye it's fucking famine and death
The horrors of war to real to forget
It's too late for sorrow too late to forget
So keep marching on just like lamb to the slaughter
Kill or be killed is the old almamater
The streets of Bagdad run red with the horror
The promis is freedom, but the reality is death
Orders are givin now there's no turning back
With a blink of an eye it's guns, bombs and death
The horros of war to real to forget
It's too late for sorrow for regret
Riddled with bullets your life fades away
Your war torn eyes to blurred to see another day
But the troops atill march on just like lamb to the slaughter
18 years on and the battles just begun
Live your life like a soldier on the run
Grow up fast and learn to be a man
Now you're just doing what you can
[Chorus]
And you're only doing what you know
So far its everything you're told
You're only doing as you're told
How's it feel to be bought and sold
Life's more to you than meets the eye
You're out to get your slice of life
But you don't stop to blink an eye
Too numb to even reason why
From the start you're taught and told
But in the end you're bought and sold
And everything that's in between
is wasted time and memories
As time goes by you realize
You've now become what you despise
Too late to change or have a say
It's out of the ashes and into the dust
Why are you fools so fucking eager to trust?
The same fucking scum that bribe you with wages
As they've done from the start
As they will through the ages
[Chorus]
If there's liberity freedom and justic for all
They why do we suffer and why do we fall?
When the rich fucking scum's greed won't cease to persist
While we slave and we toil
Just barely exist
If there laws are set up to serve and protect
Why the fuck is there so much famine and death?
Why do innocent die while the scum still stay in power?
While we waste our whole lives protecting these cowards
If it all works so well and they are striving for peace
Why is there torture and war, greed and death?
While we work and we toil till our last dying breath
And you're so fucking happy
Living under the gun
While you slave and tou toil
They have their day in the sun
If their wars preserve freedom for one and for all
Then why don't they die on their own battelfields?
Look into his eyes
Never look again
So much to hide
For fear that he has sinned
He's lost all self control
In his life he has no goal
He feels he needs no reason at all
The mutilation of his soul
Left in a trance - confused
Wondering what is right or wrong
Nothing left but life - to lose
Faithful to his God for so long
Deception of faith
Fear inside eyes - screams but no reply
Deception of faith
World of misery - beyond insanity
Witness his world decay
Thousands of people dying everyday
All hope for peace is lost
He'll pay the price at any lethal cost
Deception of faith
Fear inside eyes - screams but no reply
Deception of faith
World of misery - beyond insanity
In this world
Hidden lies that they hiding from us
Cause for corruption
Distant signs from heaven above
[Music: Harrington / Esquivel / Adams]
[Lyrics: Esquivel]
You say one thing and do
another
Heard the same thing a thousand
times
Merry go round in reverse going
nowhere
We'll never know what's
becoming of you
[Chorus:]
Dead silence
What now, who's got the last
laugh
Dead silence
You play your games, you've
gone insane
We never know what you want to
Day after day live live your life
Wishing you were just like me
Dead silence
What now, who's got the last
laugh
Dead silence
You think you see but
You can't see what's in my mind
Time turns around you still
Can't seem to realize
Sometimes I feel no sorrow
Sometimes I feel no pain
Say what you will, my last laugh
Say what you will while I laugh
[X2]
Time goes by but you never
change
You're always hearing the same
thing day after day
In your mind still you wish to be
Image of hatred, trying to be like
Sometimes I feel no sorrow
Sometimes I feel no pain
You live your life for tomorrow
Yeah that's right, I live mine for
today...
[Repeat first verse, chorus, second verse]
while people to in jail crime does not decrease
society is no better place and no one is rehabilitated
jails are overcrowded minorities are criminalized
the governments war on drugs is a war on minorities
combining imprisonment with the lifestyle of minorities
is nothing more than a form of concealed genocide
laws are existing to protect money and property
not to protect people and their human rights
while the rich white male is the owner of everything
The kings and queens send their pawns off to war
An unfair law upheld in the years before
They take a life from a child and their dreams
Imagine people never even stop to think
Back many years - Checkmate
They believe to kill - Checkmate
There was no law - Checkmate
They killed at will - Checkmate
Medieval torture - Checkmate
Now begins - Checkmate
Man to follow - Checkmate
Many to hang - Checkmate
Checkmate - Checkmate
People die still, some at their youth
No one knows why 'cause there never is no truth
Romans believe to send their children off to war
Retaliation, continuation of the war
Retaliation of the war
Some people die still, some still at their youth
No one knows why, there is no truth
Romans believe to send their children off to war
Retaliation, continuation of the war
Checkmate !.......
The kings and queens send their pawns off to war
An unfair law upheld in the years before
To take the life from a child and their dreams
you rich fucking scumbag your gonna get a brick
because your life style is the anchor that sinks us in the shit
you have cars worth more than houses, but that isn't enough
your life is based on property and wealth you stole from us
invested. gentrifucking our neighborhoods and town
while sucking the life out of everthing you touch
the problem is so fucking clear, the solution so plain to see
and the fucker hanging for the noose will be you not fucking me
your gonna witness vengence you cannot comprehend
lifetimes of robbing us will get you in the end
our anger has been breing, fewer options left to choose
watch your fucking backs when we attack there's nothing left to lose
we fought your arrogance with notes that came on bricks
smashed your shiny shop fronts up and bashed your car to bits
but your stupid fucking media let loose a river full of shit
and tryed to drown us all and minimalize what we had taken bit by bit
of course thay would protect your wealth at any cost
but when they labeled our attacks racist they had it fucking wrong
were fed up and full of hatred but it won't be misdirected
if your poor you're fucking poor but if your rich you'll fucking get it
you stupid fucking parasite you got you got your fucking brick
and there is a million more waiting to sink you into shit
from the start of time you've raped and robbed yourself right to the top
refused to see the lives it's cost to get where you are
ignored the agony of those who've suffered from your greed
and most of all your lives have made our lives a living hell
so now is the time to get revenge and see the tables turn
Wasted life now gone to hell
Perfect child was left to dwell
Destined to fight, destined to kill
Infant at birth was born to kill
Which will it be ?
Which will be his prey ?
Who will be the first ?
The first to die
Stalking on his victim
Killing what he pleases
Strive in starvation
Prey on survival's needs
Born to kill
Prodigal life that went to hell
Torment the victims left to dwell
Left to die with no remorse
Born to kill - leave a beautiful corpse
Punish all those victims
Laughing as they die
Putrid smell of agony
Hear the victims cry
Eyes that slowly open
Blood red to seal your fate
Await upcoming terror
Marked red to seal your fate
Punish all those victims
Laughing at them as they die
Putrid smell of agony
Hear the victims cry
Wasted life now gone to hell
Perfect child was left to dwell
Destined to fight, destined to kill
Infant at birth was born to kill
Prodigal child gone to hell
Tormented victims left to dwell
Left to die with no remorse
the workers control the means of production
what a fucking waste
when most means of production
are as worthless as what they generate
useless commodities for mindless consumption
huge amounts of profit for certain destruction
this is what is accomplished
through this kind of production
[Chorus:]
anti social,ant socialist
fucking leftist bastards want to tell you what to do
anti social anti socialist
brand new government for you know who
anti social anti socialist
they could give a fuck for me or you
anti social anti socialist
brand new package fucking same old shit
i'm not going to fight to put someone else in power
they use the people who really believe in freedom is how they do it
hijack the accomplishments other people have made
power hungry bastards taking from others gains
[Chorus]
i'm fucking anti social , i do not need a boss
don't need someone else telling me ehat to do
no freedom can ever offer you true freedom
they'll dangle a carrot in front of your nose
if you don't vote you can't complain
fuck that line of shit because it won't change
any thing other than superficially
i'm not willing to accept what rights and change some
they are not theirs to fucking give
and anything given can be taken away
this whole system needs to be burned to the ground
and it's not going to happen from working within
voting is just a feeling of affecting change
it provides answers but to all of the wrong questions
it gives us a fals sence of accomplishment
and diverts energy from real issues
state sanctioned change is nothing more than double speak
when it promises to give , to who have been taken from the most
your fooling yourself if you believe
you will recieve anything substantial in return
thinking that voting gives you a voice
I'll try to tell a story
It's so blue
Really happened to me
Could happen to anyone
Even if you don't face me
If you just ignore
You can't hide it from me baby
It's easier if you hide it from yourself
This situation is clear enough
For me to realize
That I can see through
I can see through you
All I wanted was to love
And be loved
But many obstacles
Made us fall
Maybe I expect too much
Never sure how to know
Who is right and who is wrong
Is all a matter of point of view
I see through
I see through you
You're so see-thru
