When you hear those voice coming in loud and clear pay heed and -
take your time before you step
To change your world it only takes one split second so -
watch your step before you leap
It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt
It's all fun and games till sorrow
It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt
It's all fun and games
I'm not a Fucking joke
She's playing with my head
Tearing at my heart
She's been a messin' Jas(on)
I've been afraid to raid her because I find
I need a last chance blast to make a bust out of here
I need to find and appreciate with my head
I need a chance just to get this straight
when you cheated - then you lied - when you cheated - it's fuckin' joke -
when you cheated - then you lied - when you cheated
There may come a time when you just might not think it's worth it
but try to think twelve hours ahead
When the only thing in mind is the girl in your head well
a girl like that is hard to find (Repeat)
When you cheated then you lied when you cheated
You take the best away
From me then give it all away
You can't control yourself
For anyone
Don't think that you could ever see
That things are not the same
You can't control yourself
For anything
Give me one reason to stop your fall (Yeah yeah yeah)
Give me one reason to Answer Your call (Yeah yeah yeah)
Give me one reason why I should care at all
Don't think you could understand
But logic rips away
The mask that you put on
For everyone
You feel it slipping from your hands
Still you manipulate
You can't control yourself
For Anything
Give me one reason to stop your fall (Yeah yeah yeah)
Give me one reason to Answer Your call (Yeah yeah yeah)
Give me one reason why I should care at all
Let someone look inside at what's
Behind the mask where you hide
A mixture of pain and pride the real
You that's been Denied
Won't you give me one reason? [x3]
Give me one reason to stop your fall (Yeah yeah yeah)
Give me one reason to Answer Your call (Yeah yeah yeah)
Give me one reason why I should care at all
The look in your eyes tells me you can't disguise why won't you try and face the truth
You're stuck nowhere I can see that you don=t care
It doesn't seem like it means much to you
I'm sick of listening to you whining It might be a dream instead it means nothing
It could be everything you wanted it to be It might be a dream instead it means nothing
It could be everything you wanted it to be It might be a dream
I see you everyday wasting your time away
afraid to try afraid to lose
don't know why you can't see you could have everything
or nothing at all it's up to you
you've always got to keep on trying
You know you're life could be all you want it be keep getting closer day by day
Images in your head and they wont go away
We take this life and each day we try
And we all believe, but we can't agree
you get the life you choose
but nothing you can use
We could pray all day, but things won't change
It's all we need; to make us believe
Don't Fight- You'll never win
So try- You'll so give in why
But why- You'll never know something you'll never know
Hate- You can't believe
Wait- We'll never see
Change- A little less tragedy
Is all we need
We choose to hide; what burns inside
We isolate and recriminate
We all want something more
A life worth fighting for
Gets Washed Way
Cause things wont change
It's all we need to make us believe
Don't fight- You'll soon never win
So Try- You'll soon give in
But why- you'll never know something you'll never know
Hate- You can't believe
Wait- We'll never see
Change- A Little less tragedy
Is all we need
We All go a place we hide
You want out wanted out dead or alive
It's Your Life your philosophy
It's your dose of reality and It's all we Need
To make us believe
Don't Fight- You'll never win
So try- You'll so give in why
But why- You'll never know something you'll never know
Hate- You can't believe
Wait- We'll never see
Change- A little less tragedy
Is all we need
Take a listen to what I say
I got the truth and
I'll help you find your way
It's time to take what you know is already yours
It's your life it's your right
You wake up every moment feeling
Numb until you die
Take a chance and walk right
Through that unopened door
That affliction that's the
Curse for the modern man
If you believe then you can't be wrong
Reject all the opposing opinions - and carry on
The affliction
That's the curse for the modern man
With blind faith you're never wrong
Reject all opposing opinions you can't go wrong
So make your
Pledges and place the blame
They got opinions and you hear them everyday
We got facts to back them up you just can't ignore
You gotta fight
Take a listen to what I say
I got the truth and
I'll help you find your way
It's time to take what you know is already yours
It's your life it's your right
You wake up every moment feeling
Numb until you die
Take a chance and walk right
Through that unopened door
That affliction that's the
Curse for the modern man
If you believe then you can't be wrong
Reject all the opposing opinions - and carry on
The affliction
That's the curse for the modern man
With blind faith you're never wrong
Reject all opposing opinions you can't go wrong
So make your
Pledges and place the blame
They got opinions and you hear them everyday
We got facts to back them up you just can't ignore
You gotta fight
For what's right
No matter if the truth just can't be
Seen in black and white
But don't think that's gonna stop 'em
Marching to war
Here we go again
Gonna kick it as long as we can
We like to boast from
The far west coast
To the desert fields of Iran
You want to fight well let's go
You know that we
Came to drop bombs
The straight edge punks
From the desert sun
All want some of the shit
That we're on
We are the ones
You know we don't fuck around
Gonna go as long as we can
We're back again what goes around
Comes around
You wanna go
You know that we're down
As long as we can
We're self-righteous hypocrites and
We don't wanna hear what you say
Capitalistic, Narcissistic
And no we're not gonna change
The bright lights make you blind now
You want everything for free
You pay for gas while we count out
Cash we're going down in history
We are the ones
You know we don't fuck around
Gonna go as long as we can
We're back again what goes around
Comes around
You wanna go
You know that we're down
As long as we can
As long as we can
I don't believe in
You or what you say
The lies you're
Telling me are so insane
It's time for you
To stop and quit it all today
So sick of watching you brag exaggerate and lie
You're telling lies
I don't believe a thing you say
Exaggerate - you know it
Never was that way
You're bragging now the
Truth is dead and bound
It's just your way you
Brag, exaggerate and lie
Just like a smoke screen the truth is
Hidden in between
The tales that you
Weave are ill conceived
Spare me the small details your
Stories shot to hell
Down in a ball of flames you
Brag, exaggerate and lie
Up from the ashes and over the hill
We knew more than we ever will
Back when the days passed by so slow
And now we'll never know
That sense that tomorrow was far away
And our dreams they never fade
We never thought the good times could end
Can we go back to those days - When everything was simple then?
And nothing could ever change
Can we go back to those days - We didn't have a care at all
I wish I could remain - Back in yesterdays
Up from the shadows of our days gone by
They seem like scenes from a diffrent life
We didn't notice as the days went past
We knew it couldn't last
But looking back I wouldn't change a thing
The memories shared they'll always stay with me
Hey you!
I got something you need
The secret's gonna set you free
And everything you think you know it ain't nothing
The sacred truth from the holy light
The daybreak from the darkest night
When all the wandering souls are Looking for something
I'll say it real slow
(for God's sake now you gotta believe)
What you gotta know
(the wisdom's gonna set you free)
The dawn's early light
(God son the Holy light)
Is starting to show
(Your beacon through the darkest night)
We've all been deceived
(Not now but someday you'll see)
you better believe
(what it is to believe)
But we'll never know
The star, cross and the crescent sign
The reason that we pray at night
When you lose you nerve
You know that you gotta serve someone
A prophet or a sacred cow
You know it doesn't matter now
Pick one of the above, it's better than bowing to no one
I'll say it real slow
(for God's sake now you gotta believe)
What you gotta know
(the wisdom's gonna set you free)
The dawn's early light
(God son the Holy light)
Is starting to show
(Your beacon through the darkest night)
We've all been deceived
(Not now but someday you'll see)
you better believe
(what it is to believe)
But we'll never know
Cause in the end you'll see it's not really what you believe
The only one sure thing is that life's filled with uncertainty
And then the truth could be that life's just one big joke
But We'll never know
We'll never know
[x7]
Every time you try to change something always goes wrong
And by the time you figure it out everything you wanted was gone
do you know there is a way to be everything you always wanted to be
Can I Say if you start today you begin to make your own reality
don't say it's not worth it I know you can change
It may never be perfect there's no one to blame
When you feel yourself going down pick yourself up off the ground
It may never be perfect it still can be great
So you think you've lost your chance the world just keeps passing you by
when you're alone
you're on your own
this world is no place for the weak
we've got to find ourselves in unity
cause strength in numbers is what we seek
togetherness friendship is best
no one can stop us when we all work as one
when problems come we've already won
cause we know whose side we're on
come together and fight together
unite together as one
come together and fight together
fight forever till we have one camaraderie amity
it's good to know whose side you're on
conviviality homogeneity
I am taking a big new look around
I was once so lost but now I am so found
A victim of circumstance
Just give me one more chance
Let me right my wrong
And I'll be moving on
They say you can't make a difference
That you can't make a change
It's a cruel cruel world
Full of hate and lies
And it's time to re-arrange
It seems to me if you take your time
And open up your eyes
The truth will come out
Like a flood of tears
Burning through your mind
Think of all the things your missing
Take a look around at what may be
Think of all the things your missing
Could Be!
We can do better, better if we try
The walls that block our path
Are the stepping stones of life
Defeat is in the past
This struggle will not last
Take stock of your life
It's time to get it right
This is not the end
A million faces are blurred in today
A million lives that are so far away
I'm alone and I want you to know
I want to scream but there's nowhere to go
A million voices are making the cry a million lives that are waiting to die
A million families are wasting away split by decision it must go away
Someone soon is goona die wasting away in a world full of lies
Song unseen another day somehow tomorrow somehow today
If you don't listen you'll never learn watch yourself or you might get burned
Isn't it time to tell yourself
I've got to get out
I've got to go
We've got to be one voice
How many lives will be taken today
How many times will we just look away
How many voices cry to be heard screaming alone but no one hears a word
How many faces alone in the crowd waiting for answers facing the clouds
Told to follow-
Hard to swallow
Don't you know that they're wasting your time
But they need you
and beseech you
To support their bastion of crime
The darkness is falling
Can we wake up in time?
We can't lose the battle
Lose it today keep the good times away
Give me something to live for
we're finding a way
out of the shadows
You've got to show me that we can live for today
Never listen,
don't ask questions
Don't expect them
To tell you the truth
They'll deceive you and besiege you
With the lies they disguise just for you
The darkness is falling
Can we wake up in time?
We can't lose the battle
Lose it today keep the good times away
Give me something to live for
we're finding a way
out of the shadows
You've got to show me that we can live for today
Fall and sorrow
For tomorrow
Days of pain that are waiting for you
Time is bleeding
Keeps repeating
My lifetime to find out the truth
The darkness is falling
Can we wake up in time?
We can't lose the battle
Lose it today keep the good times away
Give me something to live for
we're finding a way
out of the shadows
You've got to show me that we can live for today
clear your mind hide your fear
don't look around
don't turn around
pennywise is here
evil lurks in his eyes
the clown they call pennywise
he's a monster
he's not human
he's more than just a figment of your imagination
you can't run can't hide
there's no way to escape pennywise
he'll creep inside your soul at night
and torment nice and slow
don't turn around or look around
pennywise will know
he'll make you wish that you were dead
and make it hard to cope
he'll make you wish that you were dead
never had the luck to see that face before
at most I've only had a fleeting chance:
but now it looks as though your just not fleeting anymore
now it has turned into quite some romance
and lam distant no longer more since you have come to pass
right through right through that open door
people come and people go
in the end they're all the same
the quest for someone special is all so clear
trying to find identity trying to find a name
I've seem to found myself since you've here
I've fought oppression
I've paid the price
but here with you it's twice as nice
so I'll change my ways loll start today
I've got to change my life
my heart goes out to all of you
the many who have tried to try and grasp
what of that they may dream
"I'll tell you right now all of you in your venture to find
I look at my self
the person in the mirror is asking me
asking me why I lie to myself
what's the meaning of this charade
or the reason why
cause no one knows me quite better than I know myself
but that doesn't stop me from asking myself
the reason why no reason why
we lie to ourselves or anyone else
I look inside my life
cause I can see the things that no one else can see
about the real me
cause it's only the outside
you really see so don't ask me why I keep inside
the things that I choose to hide
still it doesn't stop me from asking myself
it gets me farther behind
cheaters never prosper
I've heard that line
but it keeps me set in my ways
I got my way of life and I won't back down or apologize
for things I cannot change guess I gotta do things my own way
And I don't give a damn if you got a problem with who I am
Cause I don't give a fuck you wanna change me well you're outta luck
I don't think that I could never ever change
And I don't know if I would want to anyway
And I don't care if never live to see the day
We can compromise I'm doing things my own way
It's so hard to believe that we can see the world so differently
We don't realize cause we can't see the world through each other's eyes
We'll never understand I don't think that anybody can
I won't change anyway guess were both just stubborn stuck in our ways
Everything you say to me is a lie you've lost control
All you say is just a mask for what you feel down deep inside
And I don't care about getting your respect not in your eyes
It's just an illusion a faded dream of what we had and so much more
So if you wanted to ask and I think you should know
I've given up on the past Now I know that I need more this time
Everytime I try to make you understand you look away
And now I know you are never going to change you've lost control
I wanna know how you lost your self-respect you are so blind
Who ever knew there's be days like these
When the world could knock us to our knees?
We didn't fear the future or regret the past
We knew our days we're numbered and it couldn't last
The world's gone madit's so hard to believe it's like a bad dream version of reality
And now we don't know which way to go
And the pressure is building and it's ready to blow
I never knew there would be days like these
Hooray-It's judgement day-We had it good till now-now there's hell to pay
A moments time-we're all gonna blow it away
Poor me-It's my own tragedy I was born in a time of lunacy
It was all fun-but now we're gonna pay
Whoever thought there would come a day when the world
As we know it could be stolen away-we didn't see it coming 'til it
Was too late and now it seems like the news is getting worse everyday
Watch it go down it doesn't matter to you but when it comes to an end
Too mich time in this same place got to get out
An undenying feeling I gotta get away
Too many thoughts in one space I've finally had it
A dream now takes to a secret place that lies
So far away
It's what you do with it it's what you've waited for
And when you find it a place where no one has been before
I know I gotta listen to my mind 'cause if it happens to me
Sometimes
Finda place where you can go where nobody knows
Nobody knows
Gone and without a trace I'd like to have it
Taking only with me good dreams of yesterday
And my best friend whom with I'll share this journey
Our mental bags are packed 'cause we're leaving here today
It's whatyou do with it
Knocked Down
One Hundred Million Souls are joined together.
All hope for something better.
And daring to just ask the question.
€œWhat is all this worth?€
Because the answers have all lost their meaning.
They got us all believing.
We really have a future?
And who will get there first?
Knocked down, stumble then you fall
Stay down, find some use for it all
No way, walk before you crawl
When will you fall?
So many hopeless lives have been forgotten,
Defeated once too often.
Just hoping to find resolution
Held down by a greater force.
In the search we find no solutions
And dream of revolutions.
But wake to find we're part of the problem.
So tell me what is worse?
Knocked down, stumble then you fall
Stay down, find some use for it all
No way, walk before you crawl
When will you fall?
When will you fall?
*When will you fall?
Knocked down, stumble then you fall
stay down, find some use for it all
No way, walk before you crawl
Knocked down, stumble then you fall
Stay down, find some use for it all
No way, walk before you crawl
Knocked down
Stay down
Knocked down
Sit down
When will you fall?
When will you fall?
When will you fall?
When will you fall?
I walk down my old street
Used to be home for me and
now there's spraypaint on the walls
I see a house that at one time looked nice
but now it is abandoned
There's nothing left at all
So why, why must we let our chances fly
When oh when oh will we ever see hope again
Why, why, why is it hard to say goodbye
Well oh well oh at least I can still remember when
our city used to be such a beautiful place
Now you can't walk down the street
the same and think you'll see the same
My hands are in the air
It makes no sense to me
I cannot explain this tragety
My first trip to city
I remember thinking
that the buildings stood so tall
and when I see that my old stomping ground
is just a ravaged
they seem so small now rather
feel like I'm living in someone else's-dream
It dosen't seem this is the way
that things should be
it's like a dark cloud swallowed up humanity
Whatever it is it is be-yond-me
Homesickness is the flu that surrounds me
A virus spreading through the street
It astounds me
To our best friend,
Present past and beyond

To our best friend,
Present past and beyond

Your life is the most precious thing that we could lose
While you were here the fun was neverending
Laugh a minute was only the beginning
Jason,

Laugh a minute was only the beginning
Jason (my brother)
this one's for you.
I got some shit for sale you oughtta get some
You'll be the highest guy that ever lived
It might kill you man you won't even know it
I can feel your best sense starting to give
You take the chance you lose control
The lessons from your past you need to know
Take one more hit of base
That shit is gonna blow up in your face
Ripping glass shards through your heart
You got a problem man you ought to fix it
You think you're geting hig
Until it's too late well you wont even know it
You better stop before you hit a dead end
When I see you out on the street
A different story everytime we meet
You been hanging with a different crowd
Your acting tough and your talking loud
It's getting worse for you every single day
A bad habit and it won't go away
Where you gone where's my best friend
Outside my window I see trouble.
On the faces on the people in the streets below.
One gets a feeling discontentment.
Why there is anger I don't know.
Or is it always in my mind.
Or my vivid imagination.
Creating this monster at my side.
Hello, hello to who's ever out there.
Can you please give us some more time.
Or is this the final chapter.
Final chapter of the world.
So many times, so many chances.
So many roadblocks I see on the way.
I think a new start is in order.
It's time to build a new highway.
Fight, fight, fight.
The end result is that we'll all
Die, die, die.
Generations will wonder
Why, why, why.
Why we kissed our ass good
Bye, bye, bye.
I'll see you on the other side.
Why there should be so many answers.
Faith and hope
Try anything that will help you cope
It can't be found in a diamond ring
Can it be found in anything?
So wise men seek significance
In suffering
We all bend until we break
It crushes you until you say
Goodbye tomorrow
With no need to follow
I live my own way - I won't look
Back until my last day [x2]
Wake up and leave
Hate and Lies
The numbers seem to multiply
They add up to a fatal sum
An equal share for everyone
Pain and pride - The products of your
Confused mind
They get compounded everyday
It smothers you until you say
Goodbye tomorrow
With no need to follow
I live my own way - I won't look
Back until my last day [x2]
Wake up and leave
This is your own
Reality each to his own ability
Got no hope for society
Watch it as it all goes away
It gets closer everyday so live it up til
The day you die
And if you wonder
Why I say goodbye tomorrow
Goodbye tomorrow
With no need to follow
I live my own way - I won't look
Back until my last day [x2]
Wake up and leave
18 Soldiers five days away
Caged in silence lying awake
Ragged tirades are dead at the stake
Raging sirens but nobody pays
We got nothing but time
Overacting out in cynical times
When the rain starts coming down
The search for absolution is dry
18 fathers visit the graves
Locked in violence resigned to their fate
Fallen Idols are cracked at the base
Hollow silence alone in their place
Retaliation is blind
With underestimated losses of life
And the stains of blood are bold
And visible beneath the divide
We're caught up in it we can't forget it
Forget your losses and don't regret it
Just too much information
Electronic Stimulation
All this media saturation
Just gives me more aggravation
Gather round your television
Micro waving our religion
Download RAM and Gigabytes
Won't let computers run my life
Wanna Disconnect
I wanna break free
I wanna cut off the umbilical
Electronic Leash
Unplug my phone
Wanna blow up my screen
Don't wanna hear all the lies
and the lines they're selling to me
I wanna break free
Got a virus I'm infected
Gonna cut off my connection
Tendrils tied up misdirection
Come and witness my defection
Data counting our destruction
Suicidal file corruption
I walk alone
Through the shadowed night
No place to roam,
No end in sight
I runaway runaway
Nowhere to hide
With darkness closing in on me
Through the endless night
Never gonna find the truth of it
Searching through the end of time
Pain is a part of our history
But tonight just feels all right
(Whoa, whoa)
I would, I would die for you
(Whoa, whoa)
In troubled times we'll make it through
(Whoa, whoa)
I would, I would die for you
(Whoa, whoa)
Yes you know that I would die for you
My heart is black
Filled with silent cries
We can wonder what went wrong
But the pain just grows inside
Trapped in this memory
We live for suffering
All is wasted that we want
And there is no end in sight
Never gonna find the truth of it
Searching through the end of time
Pain is a part of our history
But tonight just feels all right
(Whoa, whoa)
I would, I would die for you
(Whoa, whoa)
In troubled times we'll make it through
(Whoa, whoa)
I would, I would die for you
(Whoa, whoa)
Yes you know that I would die for you
(Whoa, whoa)
I would, I would die for you
(Whoa, whoa)
In troubled times we'll make it through
(Whoa, whoa)
I would, I would die for you
(Whoa, whoa)
In troubled times we'll make it through
(Whoa, whoa)
I would, I would die for you
(Whoa, whoa)
Tonight just feels alright for me and you
Tonight just feels alright for me and you
Tonight just feels alright for me and you
Tonight just feels alright for me and you
When the world's coming down like an anvil on your head.
You must make it, you can take it, if you just kick back.
It's all part of living this surviving dread.
But tell me when all's done and said.
Who needs depression.
You can hit the bottle or hit something instead.
You can take the bottle break it over someone's head.
I'd rather stay in bed all day.
In bed with you lying closely right by my side.
With no one to make us take one step outside.
Under the covers with you.
I'd rather pull the sheets over our heads.
So we wouldn't have to face the day, no way.
take all that you've read
and all you've heard said
take every little bit of info
clogged up in your head
then play sane game
ream out your crowded brain
you'll feel much better
when you clear your head
I know it's a bitch you gotta try
you lose control and would like to know
the reason why
I know it's a bitch to clear your head
you lose control
then life is over you are dead.
now you may ask why why such a blue sky
of all the colors on a palette
that you might try
your mental landscape
you'll feel much better when you clear your head
and soon you'll see
a much better way to be
you'll see the person that you sought to be
you got to be
get your new clean slate
when all that shit is erased
you'll feel much better
when you clear your head
your life - is a dump for garbage sinner
stacked up with the shit
of worthless refuse from the past
now you're backed up against the wall
your life - a crowded thought collection
so many theories
dearly handed down to you
and you just can't condense them
it's your life.
Been stuck on the outside since I can't remember when
Got up just long enough for them to beat me down again
They crawl inside my mind hoping there to find
Ways to be fucking with my head
They'll never get the best of me
I'm fighting back until I'm dead
Cause I've been used been abused
I've been bruised
I've been broken
And I'm backed up against the wall
But my will to survive can't be stolen
And you can't make me fall
Half-wits and dim pundits try to ruin my good name
Parents and therapists tell me I'm the one to blame
They say "take it like a man" but I can't understand
Why they won't leave me alone
Best friends and enemies think I'd do better on my own
When I think I can't go on just want to stay home in my bed
The problems of this fucked up world seem to be kept up in my head
I take a look around there's nowhere to be found
Somewhere to justify my life
Everyday convince myself of everything I can
and can't believe abused confused
Everyday you feel every crime just stare up at the sky
and wonder why afraid deranged
Hold on to your promise you can use it for a crutch stand by
while all your dreams are trampled in the dust
Leave now before your slick machines begin to rust
Last chance farewell among us
Everyday you get a little bit older and everything gets hard you wonder
why afraid deranged
everyday you feel every crime an endless shocking show
on the parade abused confused
Where are the Aliens?
18 Soldiers five days away
Caged in silence lying awake
Ragged tirades are dead at the stake
Raging sirens but nobody pays
We got nothing but time
Overacting out in cynical times
When the rain starts coming down
The search for absolution is dry
18 fathers visit the graves
Locked in violence resigned to their fate
Fallen Idols are cracked at the base
Hollow silence alone in their place
Retaliation is blind
With underestimated losses of life
And the stains of blood are bold
And visible beneath the divide
We're caught up in it we can't forget it
You can see it comn' it happens everyday
Millions of people millions of faces
All lost in the fucking fray
But I'm gonna keep on tryin'
Why you people keep on dyin'?
Standing on the brink of insanity
Tell me who you wanna be
Hey the kids are losin' it
My mind you're abusin' it
They can believe what they wanna believe
Trapped in their misery
Hey it's waste of time
Hey I'm losing my mind
Count me out of your misery
I'm never givin' up cause I am free
Not gonna change just to fit your ways
Not gonna listen to the things you say
I've got my own reality
Not buying into your conformity
Not give me shit for trying
Why do people keep on dying
Standing on the brink of insanity
Tell me who you wanna be
I am free from the chains
That are holding you down
So your rules don't apply to me
Your rules don't apply to me
Trapped in your apathy
Comply now you can see
I won't fit into your conformity
We're not the first, I hope we're not the last
'Cause I know we're all heading for that adult crash
The time is so little, the time belongs to us
Why is everybody in such a fucking rush?
Make do with what you have
Take what you can get
Pay no mind to us
We're just a minor threat
We're Just a Minor Threat
We're Just a Minor Threat
We're Just a Minor Threat
Early to finish, I was late to start
I might be an adult, but I'm a minor at heart
Go to college, be a man, what's the fucking deal?
It's not how old I am, it's how old I feel
Take your time
Try not to forget
We never will
We're just a minor threat
We're Just a Minor Threat
We're Just a Minor Threat
30 seconds till the end of the world
We’ll blow it all to bits (End of the world)
30 seconds till the end of the world
We’ll call it quits (End of the world)
30 seconds till the end of the world
Blow it all away (End of the world)
30 seconds till the end of the world
We’ll call it a day
Ten seconds till the end of the world
Make way for the next sensation
Factual Manipulation
Stay tuned for the next creation
Department of misinformation
Arrogance that makes you shiver
Ignorance and we deliver
If truth doesn't count fo something
I choose to believe in nothing
It's primetime for the middle class
You don't like it shove it up your ass
Fair and balanced prejury
And it's all on Fox TV
Delusion will rule day in this society
Intellectual property in bankruptcy
And you can't escape
We've been sold out we can get out
Lies sold tragedy all on your TV
Fabricated Journalism
Junk News and Jingoism
Media's our new religion
The pulpit is your television
Got news and we're comin' at ya
Network TV propaganda
Our credibility is degrading
Hate breeds hate that's what they say
Ignore the noise and find a better way
But indecision clouds your mind
As the reason linger deep inside
Penance for a single day
To sit and rot or come out winning
Salutations fight to be
On the boundary lines
Of the world we live in
War - in the eyes
Deplore - Masterminds
Restore - All the presence
Of the world we live in
Shine - Through the sirens
Despite - Thieving tyrants
Insight - Roads to Highlands
In the world we live in
Terminate their right to be
Polarized lies of the fascist sleaze
Lining up the shadowed gaze
Beheaded for a shallow grave
Whoring in complacency
The gilded cries can't make you see
Landing on your dying breath
Your ignorance intact till death
Dying in the world
I'm headed for the top now
You can't bring me down
I'm searching for something
In life that can't be found
If you got the answers
Then I got the questions
Unlock the mystery
Life's too short now for mediocrity
my mind still struggles
Through strife and adversity
It's all or nothing now
It's so plain to see
I'm gonna live for me
Cause I'm doing the best I can
I'm part of the master plan
One day at a time
As the fire burns inside
The clock is ticking
Now my time is almost out
I'm getting sick and tired
Of being knocked around
Wasted days pile up with wasted lives
It's not the end for me
It's so hard to be
Trapped in a tragedy
Life is certain but death
It can set you free
It's all or nothing now
It's so plain to see
This is no way to live a life
The urban planning genocide
We have no hope or civic pride
They don't care if we live or die
It's not fair when you start with nothing
Your life feels done just before it starts
We're just trying to believe in something
6th Avenue Nightmare
and our fate is set
6th Avenue Nightmare
What you see is what you get
Another Day in living hell
It's street life or a prison cell
The violence a cry for help
You let me violate you
You let me desecrate you
You let me penetrate you
You let me complicate you
Help me...I broke apart my insides
Help me...I got no soul to sell
Help me..the only thing that works for me
Help me get away from myself
I wanna fuck you like an animal
I wanna feel you from the inside
I wanna fuck you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to God
You can have my isolation...
You can have the hate that it brings
You can have my absence of faith...
You can have my everything
Help me tear down my reason
Help me, it's your sex I can smell
Help me you make me perfect
Help me become somebody else
I wanna fuck you like an animal
I wanna feel you from the inside
I wanna fuck you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
Punch-drunk intoxication
There are jackals in power who feed on frustration
Sheer will you move it or lose it
There's power in numbers when are we gonna use it
Collateral damage with innocents' dying
The leaders are suspect man you don't know who's lyin'
Don't know what caused it - it's so hard to swallow
They tell us what to think and they laugh as we follow
We all bleed - We all die
You don't believe it though it happens right before your eyes
It won't stop - Just give in
It's a new genocide - what a terrible sin
Function - diminishing value
They're draining the banks now but no one will tell you
Cut rates and tax breaks for bosses
They're cashing their stocks in - you're cutting your losses
Conspiracy theory - you think what you want to
If you don't believe it then they already got you
With human lives yeah their playing games now
Every time i talk - you just say i'm wrong
I can't take it anymore a thousand lies a billion strong
You have to be right - you agrgue all the time
Make your point and then shut up
You're never gonna change my mind
No - aint gunu change my mind - you bug me everyday
Just let me see it my way - aint gunu change my mind
I want you to stop you're closing in on me
Just get off my fucking back - arn't you ever gunu see
Wasting all your time - with all the things you say
Get this through your head - everything can't be your way
I'm falling down, I'm staggering
I'm here and then I'm gone
And if you try to find me
I'm nowhere to be found
I'm in somebody's shadow
In someone else's dream
I'm in your girlfriend's mind
As funny as it seems
I'm here and then I'm gone
Sometimes I pass right through you
When you're down at memory lane
Sometimes it's only me in there
That causes you great pain
When you gonna realize
When you gonna face
All you and me went through was
A pleasant little phase
I'm gonna find you
When you least expect me to
You'll never find me
I'll carry the torch - feed off my flame
love is the hottest word for me -
it knows my name
and your spirit cuts through me
like a silent sword
and leaves it's score inside
everytime I take a chance - take it
everytime a rule to break - break it
everytime I change my mind - change it
everytime there's suicide - you know
what's on my mind
you're everywhere I try to hide
I'm threatened by your suicide
I'll test my faith till satisfied
my god I need to know. I know there's
got to be a place
a heaven for the human race
why do I need to die
to go?
I need to know
I'm dyin' to know
well good book says "love"
should be the best thing you can feel
so you gotta stand by your faith
exactly what they say is real
so you push this back in your mind
cause the thought was too intense
that don't make sense
gotta hev it, I must know it
here is my only chance
and I ain't gonna blow it
got to know before I'm outta time
I'm all out of time.
it's burning a hole inside of me
answers to questions I seek
burning a hole inside
keepin' the flame alive.
I will burn this flame until I know
With so much bullshit what can you believe
So many lives all divided by greed
No way to stop no way to erase what we all cannot face
Sometimes the thunder it slowly creeps in
makes us all wonder where did it begin
No way to stop it only it will grow to what we will never know
I just can't believe no way to stop it if no one can see
We gotta take control or we will rover know
Say what you wanna say there's no tomorrow if we don't start today
We gotta take control or we will never know
It's on your tv all over the news
what does it matter it's not happening to you
No you can't stop it can't wish it way
And it happens more everyday
When will we stand up when will be heard
They go on screaming no one hears a word
Thought you could face the world now you lost your nerve
All the things you held so close until the tables turned
And when I tried to warn you still you took the risk
How did I know we'd drift apart how did I know it would come to this
Now everything is over and it never will return
You're just a part of my life a memory I wanna burn
I could feel it ending you won't face the truth
I can't live with all your lies I can't take more of your abuse
No I can't take anymore Don't apologize to even the score
Hypocrisy and unity they're not just words to me
No I can't take anymore
Want to send you a letter just to put your mind at ease
I could write it up in the sky I still don't think that you could see
You won't admit that it's over you won't face the truth
I can live with all your lies I can't take more of your abuse
All the things you try to hide won't wash away
All the life you took from me you can't disguise will never fade
So don't look for the answers or somewhere to place the blame
There's nothing that can save you now
Confusion just sets in it always does where does life begin you never know
you won't know until it hits you
You never act the same
You always play the game
You play to kill
You won't see it coming
You wanna see a change for tomorrow
You wanna see a change just for you
Depression closes in you can't escape no one understands
they can't relate you won't know until it hits you
It never goes away feel it everyday your only hope it could change tomorrow
You wanna see a change for tomorrow
You wanna see a change just for you
You wanna see a change before you throw it all away
Something has gotta break
Just for you break through tradition break through to life hold onto anything
Wait! Can't Believe it
Another victim another life another wasted casualty
The youth are shooting, robbing and looting
violence plagues society
in LA. you see it everyday on your TV on your front page
you can try but you can't wish it away
I said wait can't believe it drunk and loaded in the street
hatred flowing through their veins no respect for human life
a world that slowly goes insane
on your front page on your TV it's the endless urban tragedy
in your dark thoughts and wildest dreams can you imagine
a worse society and when I think I can pretend
I turn on my TV again and all the fucked up things I see
I have a vision of many things to come
a way to erase mistakes that have previously been done
and a time where man meets man without a glare but with a smile
stop brooding on old things taste new ones for awhile
until we try how will we know?
How will we know until we try?
So let's say we give it a go
to find the world that we're looking for
say find the children grow to be what they wanna be
point them in the right direction to build their own reality
lies and deception they can't tell what is real
walk with your feelings then "shout" how you feel
dig my utopia flavor euphoria all hands raised
"hallelujah" sing a little Gloria caise
what is good what is right who the fuck decides?
look at all these people lying around
look at all these people being scraped right off the ground
because of too many broken homes
too many cardboard boxes
too many people who just can't survive
hard losses well americans don't belong in tins
let's learn to help ourselves before we help the foreign
wounded decay shout out dismay
can you hear their voices yelling out mayday
why are we sending money over seas
look out your window our nation's the one that needs
because there's not enough income
there's too much poverty
why must we lose more lives before our eyes will see
we'll leave it alone hope it goes away
its hard to ignore life when you live it everyday
I'd like to see I'd like to say I'd like to hear that help is on the way
here today where tomorrow?
death in the shadows
affects us all
too many bodies lie in the street
Feels great when you get the runaround, life you led was full of lies,
too late when you start to look around, all you find is wasted lives,
do you want to obliterate some things you don't understand,
since you want to succumb to fate watch the world slip through your hands
(Ahah)
You get the feelin' that it's never gonna change, doesn't mean a thing
Your life's not gonna end, it'll be OK
Don't say goodbye my friend cause it doesn't mean a thing,
the simple twist of fate, no, it doesn't mean a thing,
you start to get the feelin' that it's never gonna end,
doesn't mean a thing
(Ahah)
You hate when you start to think about things in life that could have been,
too late, it's not gonna turn around,
can't escape the mess you're in,
do you wish there was a way to stop the fickle hand of fate
or do you give in to the urge and kill the very thing you hate?
(Ahah)
You get the feelin' that it's never gonna change, doesn't mean a thing
Your life's not gonna end, it'll be OK
Don't say goodbye my friend cause it doesn't mean a thing,
the simple twist of fate, no, it doesn't mean a thing,
you start to get the feelin' that it's never gonna end,
doesn't mean a thing
(Ahah)
Do you feel alive for the first time, do you feel alive for the first time,
Hatred from your closed mind, nothing you think is gonna change,
your actions speak so loud, not gonna try a different way, we live together
We're worlds apart down on the streets because we're too proud,
no one will ever admit defeat
The world is a smoking gun that is loaded,
soon it's gonna blow you away but till now nobody has noticed
but we're goin' to have our say
Where do we draw the line, nobody seems to have a clue,
we're at each other's throats cause we don't share a point of view
so what's the problem, can't see beneath the shade of skin,
a vicious circle, a human race no one can win
The world is a smoking gun that is loaded,
soon it's gonna blow you away but till now nobody has noticed
but we're goin' to have our say
It's just a state of mind, it's not reality,
it's all psychosomatic static inhumanity,
a savage mental sickness that plagues the human race,
it's goin' to blow up in your face, the world is a smoking gun that is loaded,
soon it's gonna blow you away but till now nobody has noticed
but we're goin' to have (our say)
The world is a smoking gun that is loaded,
soon it's gonna blow you away but till now nobody has noticed
First you're on a roll and then you loose control
Then you can't decide you think you lost your mind
When you wanna get it but now it is too late
Nothing you can say your anger turns to hate
Your body gets excited preparing for the dance
No time to be afraid nothing is left to chance
Can't avoid the feeling your world's about to end
The secret is revealed one day you'll wake up dead
You wanna live
You'll never make it
Immortal state of mind but we're the dying kind
Extinguishing the breed throughout all history
Never can surrender you can't give up the game
Never won the fight you best prepare to die
When you hear those voices calling you to the grave
Stop wasting all your days start living right away
Or soon you will regret it your chances have all gone
One message left to send your life will soon end
You will be sorry when it's all gone
You've lost your chance to make some history
You've lost the game and now you'll see there's no escape mortality
You think you have a future but you're wrong
And so you spread your lies, won't face reality
And endless fight a struggle to be free
Close minded fools and their hypocrisy
The endless time you take away from me
I don't need your sympathy
Why do you think your better than me
Idleness antipathy
Why do you want to stop our scene
Your way of life the paths you choose
You will never try so you can only loose
Broken mirrors shattered glass
You can sell your soul but you are going nowhere fast
And so you exercise your own free will
I exercise my fucking right to kill
Vicious lies you propagate your swill
Of you're whole kind I've had my fill
You're so transparent you don't think I can see right through you all
Of your venom directed reflected right back on yourself
Give your opinion to anyone who will listen to you
But I wish you would just give it to someone else
All I get from you is some bullshit attitude
I see it in your eyes but you don't realize
I'm waiting for the day when you'll see a better way
We may not be so kind to you next time
And so you spread your lies, won't face reality
And endless fight a struggle to be free
Close minded fools and their hypocrisy
Look all around you there's a war that's going on
A struggle against the odds thats's breaking out and must be one
They're getting ready with the weapons they have found
Take inspiration from the sound
See it in the faces of the people everyday
We need to take control and find some ammo right away
our cause is righteous and we're gonna have our say
Get ready for the judgment day
Go ahead and try
Or kiss your ass good-bye
People of society are running for their lives
Get up now and go
Or your never gonna know
Never gonna make it in your houses lying low
Give it one good try
Give it all and fight till you die
A Puppet government
Their dying in the streets
Families are breaking up cause underpaids can't make ends meat
The establishment has put their money underground
Cause they all know what's coming down
A lucky precious with money in their banks
Can't imagine what it's like to find yourself in homeless ranks
They've got no conscience for the ones who won't survive
The time for payback has arived
All alone in your own society outside are the cries of lives in misery
Premeditated Murder
You can have Jesus
They can have bombs
In hindsight we speak out
You praise all your wrongs
Looking out windows
And running through halls
If they cannot catch you
Then the system falls
Criticizing standout
They can see how they feel
At least it's not your son
On the killing fields
Euphemisms Breakout
At a pace giving show
The wheels of mass destruction
In your head are moving so slow
What it means you'll never know
you're beaten and its time to go
Premeditated Murder
Tyrannical Leaders
of which you're the best
Can only be happy
As the only one left
Now you're knocking on my door
Cause you killed all the rest
Oh, the self righteous wrongness
What a prophetic mess
You fail to look inside
And question what's on your mind
The lower classes get taxed
As their children cry
Death machine in motion
As the emperors dress
The seeds of mass destruction
Have been sown
So take your last breath
It's the last one you're gonna get
Another one is on your head
try - still you got nowhere
try and stay in line
and live by all the rules
thesy say to follow
try to conform in your head
they'll feed you bullshit
you should swallow
try their style don't give up
you will blend in
it's not tough to give up
when you've tried to try for so long
I can't wait to assimilate
just try to stop me
(you willing try)
but you don't know
pick yourself up by those boot straps dude
and try
try still you get nowhere
try and stay in line
and other forms you'll never know
and if you got something to say
I got a shotgun for a muzzle
try their style don't give up
you will blend in
just try to conform
I've heard it all before
Could hear it all a thousand times more
Playing with me all the time
No one feels the same
And sanity is all a game
Locked up deep inside my mind
Hey die - you want an alibi
Hey quit - you want to get a fix
Hey try - you'll never make it tonight
You can feel it deep inside
All of the illusions for myself
What if I try to make amends for someone else
What if I try to change the way I'm feeling deep inside
What if I died filled with sorrow wanting another try
No one can face the truth
Was there nothing more that you could do
What would you do different next time
Keep turning from the past
The future's coming much to fast
Well, they've been saying all along we're the X generation
Now it seems we're the voice of a nation
Haunted by the ghosts of our fathers passed
We've been suffering far too long
Our day, it's upon us now
Our freedom will not be trampled down
Picking up the pieces
Of your ancient unelected impunity
Stop this tragedy!
(Chorus)
We're headed for a fall now
See the writings on the wall now
We're the X Generation
Wondering what the hell went wrong
Fuck government assistance (Got to unite)
All we need is resistance (We've got the right)
From a disease called hypocrisy
They've been feeding us all along
So now it looks like we're next in line
We didn't fade before our time
The problems of the past are coming fast
But we'll keep coming strong
Our day, it's upon us now
Our freedom will not be trampled down
The future looks bright in this fading light
As we rewrite history
I've got a question for all you sinners
Have you ever wondered is this all there is to life?
A quick adventure not much to mention
A slow procession leading us to die
Or is there a heaven a distant valley
A golden meadow waiting for us in the sky
No one right answer spirit seems broken
Still I just can't help but wonder why
Seems like a tragic waste of time
Who cares what happens when you die?
Life's too short to wonder why
Get on with your life
In towering churches and holy temples
They all conspired to tell me how to live my life
But no religion or new theism
Could ever provide proof to quench my mind
And now I wonder whos's sky I'm under
Is there a heaven waiting for me when I die
No one right answer spirit seems
And still I can't help but wonder why
So many questions I can't tell the difference
Too many abstract thoughts now wrestle in my mind
But through the darkness somewhere should be waiting
A final truth to shower me with light
Their pearls of wisdom and tales of glory
They fed me nicely until I found it was all a lie
No one right answer spirit seems broken
Take a ride and you will see another dose of reality
It's your life that becomes a victim of me
I think I'm sick and you will see
Because one good shot and you=ll end up dead
It's violence on the streets and it will never end
The world is not built for me and your my next victim
Victim of reality
Voices screaming in my head telling me the path that I tread
It's not sane but it's where we're fed
You're gonna end up dead
It's not something new to me a body in the street free publicity
"...two roads diverged in a wood, and i - i took the one less traveled by, and
that has made all the difference." r. frost
So you're currently content with your surroundings
You possess a vague sense of accomplishment
Did you give all you had to give or did you
give conservative
Do you think that all the years that passed you
by we're all well spent
Pictures of everyday life spark memories
And certain things pull triggers in your mind
What would be different now if you were
there than here.
What passages, what fantasies lie just
beyond the unknown road
Do you know, the miracles that could
be found they're waiting down the
unknown road, so it goes
A few more cornerstones that could be yours
Ever get the thought you were mistaken?
Ever think about the stones you've left
un-turned? More chances slip away with
every passing day, suffering with cold
You're so afraid you might get burned.
And wondering can take it's toll yeah
And wondering you can rack your skull
And wondering can send your
imagination up a tree
Wondering what fantasies lie just
beyond the unknown road
Time is right now of the essence
Time is right to learn your lessons
Time is all that you have left
things you've contemplated
As I walk this lonely road I am reminded by everything
And I remember just how I tried to make a difference in the end
And there are times you just can't go on but there's a sunrise anyway
And if another's feelings gone you got to live another day
Don't be dis-hearted just get started it will be too late tomorrow
Hold on you belong united we'll find a way
By your side standing with pride united we'll find a way
Through troubled times we will survive united we're alive
Your mind is racing time goes slow feel it smotherin' your soul
Validity of hate and greed cause the burdens that you stole
You never dodged to say goodbye to the all troubles surrounding you
Standing together certainly we are you united so bored and true
Don't be dis-hearted just get started it will be too late tomorrow
Hold on you belong united we'll find a way
By your side standing with pride united we'll find a way
Through troubled times we will survive united we're alive
Hold on to your heart tomorrow can be your brand new start
A new day a new way finding the better path to take
Hold on to your heart and find the strength inside
Hold on together we will survive we will survive
Hold on you belong united we'll find a way
By your side standing with pride united we'll find a way
Hold on you belong united we'll find a way (we are alone)
By your side standing with pride united we'll find a way
listen children I've got a secret one that they don't want me to tell
I hope you register this little message
it's the only way you can stay outta hell
don't ask your parents they ain't gonna tell you
cause they've already taken the fall
thank your lucky stars for the enlightenment
cause now it ain't no secret at all
we're gonna die off in time
we're only gonna die off in time
until we stop succumbing to mankind,
don't get me wrong
I don't want to soil your future
it used to be so squeaky clean
it ain't my fetish to extend this pessimism or blow rain clouds over your scene
I got the notion
I got the feeling that this thing doesn't have to end
this better up your suspicion
if not there's only one result my friend
hey mom and dad please don't hate me
just cause in me you see your lost youth
did I evolve into an adult organism?
do I blow myself away?
tell me the truth
good intentions yeah I got 'em
plan for the future or pray for the end
this had better raise up your suspicion
Can't take back the things that you say,
hey sure beats a hole in your head;
world runs by, don't you whine
talking that shit all the time?
Gotta find it in your faith when you grow up,
because you can't forget that day,
can't hold back, can't look away:
you discovered you gotta get away
Long road it's a long road,
long road it's a long road,
long road it's a long road;
long road it's a long road,
long road it's a long road,
long road it's a long road
Changing day, it's been a long time;
yesterday's shit is still on your mind,
causing problems everyday:
selfish habits won't go away.
Gotta find it in your faith when you grow up,
because you can't forget that day,
can't hold back, can't look away:
you discovered you gotta get away
Long road it's a long road,
long road it's a long road,
long road it's a long road;
long road it's a long road,
long road it's a long road,
long road it's a long road
Long road it's a long road,
long road it's a long road,
long road it's a long road;
long road it's a long road,
long road it's a long road,
Is there a reason for all your lies?
Your hatred and deceit
Reflected in your eyes
All the things you said
All the hate you bred
It's all trapped inside your feeble head
One thing that you should know
There's strength in numbers
And we're starting to grow
Face off tempers grow short
The noose is getting tighter
And you better abort
Mayhem is our middle name we're
getting sick and tired
of society's game
Vengeance is ours to know
We're taking to the streets
Gonna take control
They say they won't listen to me
All these years I struggled to be free
They say they don't like my ways
Now's the time for retribution
It starts today
Stand up today last chance
Don't try to turn your back on me
Are you the keepers of all our lives?
You prey and mistreat
We wait for your demise
Dishonest path you've led
Through all the blood you've shed
Excuses that you state
Will help us seal your fate
We're getting sick and tired
of all your lies
When the fuck will you realize
That things are destined for change
You've been fucking long enough with our brains
Now it's time to feel our pain
When the night
has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
Well i won't be afraid
No I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
So darling, darling stand by me
Won't you stand by me
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
When the sky that we look upon
Tumble and falls
And the mountains crumble to the sea
I wont cry, i won't cry
No i won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand by me
So darling, darling stand by me
Oh won't you stand by me
Oh won't you stand, won't you stand, stand by me
So darling, darling stand by me
Oh won't you stand by me
Oh won't you stand, won't you stand, stand by me
When the night
has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
I wont cry, no i won't cry
No i won't shed a tear
Just as long as you fuckin stand by me
So darling, darling stand by me
Oh won't you stand by me
Oh won't you stand, won't you stand, stand by me
Darling, darling stand by me
Oh won't you stand by me
Can't run can't hide
No one here gets out alive
It don't get better that's the best you're gonna get
The deal is in now place your bets
Can't eat can't sleep
Knowing that nothing's gonna satisfy me
Another blip on a television screen
Among an ocean of stars
Tonight I will rage against the forces of fate
The tide is turning my way
You should know better than to fuck with me
You best get outta my way
I'm not gonna fade away slowly
Inside my mind is a clock tick-tocking time
Not gonna stop until my last days done
You wanna try me well come get some
Tempt fate can't wait
I gotta get out there's no time to hesitate
Not gonna waste it with the cynical fools
Can't bring me down
And if you wanna try this disposition
Sacrifice all you knew
Sanitize your religion
Life is a lesson you can only learn for free and time keeps on slippin'
like a faded memory
And I got the answers starin' right in front of me, time heals my soul
Set me free, set me free, set me free, set me free
I stand about, face my mission, you don't know what you've been missin'
There is a reason for all that comes to be
My troubled life riddled with dark insanities
I need solutions through the pain that surrounds me, time heals my soul
Set me free, set me free, set me free, set me free
I stand about, face my mission, you don't know what you've been missin'
Life is a lesson you can only learn for free and time keeps on slippin'
like a faded memory
And I got the answers starin' right in front of me, time heals my soul
There's a rebellion on ice and you'll pay the price
As your freedom fades away
Dishonesty is high, so wont you even try
To stand up for your rights and say.
We don't want your take 'em back right now.
They're bullshit anyhow.
It's time we had our injustice cannot stay.
They stabbed us in the back.
And you can feel it bleeding if your heart's beating now.
So let us hear your said we have a choice.
But I don't believe they really meant it so.
We're gonna call their bluff 'cause we have had enough.
Take the power foundations gonna crack.
I see the freedom at the end of the road.
I've heard so many lies and I've taken the blows.
Give it to it from knows.
Sick of beeing used and I'm gonna explode.
Total destruction all over the place.
There is so much hate it's a fuckin' disgrace.
Everyone is blind; can't see through the lies.
But they're aren't even looking at the wolves in disguise.
So will you hear the call or let the judgements fall.
This is it so wake up let's go
And track the liars down and then remove their crowns
Land of the free and we're united, make our destiny, we take control,
yeah, never divided, we got the power and we'll never be, divided we fall,
oh yeah, land of the free, free to conspire, control destiny,
oh yeah, you're gonna see, no use resistin',
you're livin' in the land of the free, free to control your life,
land of the free, free to control your mind, land of the free?
Land of the free, united nations of hypocrisy, profit's our goal,
we're incorporated, it's big business and oil companies controlling us all,
oh yeah, land of the free, free to conspire, control destiny,
oh yeah, you're gonna see, no use resistin',
you're livin' in the land of the free, free to control your life,
land of the free, free to control your mind, land of the free?
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of hypocrisy
and to the republic for which it stands, one nation,
without liberty and justice for all
Land of the free, free to control your life, land of the free,
free to control your mind, land of the free, land of the free,
free to control your life, land of the free, free to control your mind,
land of the free?
Hey it's my time
To change my direction in life just by reading the signs
Hey it's my turn
To see how many of my bridges will burn
I feel something breathing down my neck
Thought of tomorrow's got me like a nervous wreck
No time for sorrow it's your judgement day
It's not far away It's not far away
There's a shiny coffin for you to rot in
And waste your days
It's not far away
Hey I got something to say
Before the spirit of life starts slippin' away
I'm not gonna end my life
Wishing for one more chance again to get it right
I hear voices echo from the grave
Whispering softly it's your judgement day
Hey I won't rest in peace
Until this world is sick of hearing from mr
Hey get outta my way
I got alot more living to do before my
Fools run the government sick foreign policy
Their words sound valiant but their hands are green
Unending quest for power Taxes that make us slaves
Don't believe a word of it ignore the fucked up things they say
I'm gonna make it on my own Dictator on a throne
Make my own philosophy U.S. of me
A citizen who's really pissed United Anarchists
Give me death or liberty I am my own country
United States Confederate of Me
Old whigs in parliament play bedroom politics
Salacious stories make them look obscene
Spin on your nemesis fill up the news today
Don't believe a word of it not all the fucked up things they say
Asleep at the wheel
You didn't know till it's too late
'Til now you're blinded by the things you could not see
The land of the free, is no safe haven now
Because you don't want to try - you don't want to die
You've got everything in life but the answer's why
You don't really know how it's going to be
So pretend it'll be O.K.
Look who you are - just a member of society
In a tragic comedy - pretending it will be O.K.
Look who you are - just a particle of history
Another faceless nobody - pretending it will be O.K...
Look who you are.
A rat in a cage accept the things you can't deny
Do you - recognize the lie you have become - like everyone
You're afraid to face the truth
And now you can't get away - your fortune or fate and the answers that you seek always slip away
You don't really care - you don't have a prayer
Your escape will be your grave
Look who you are - just a member of society
In a tragic comedy - pretending it will be O.K.
Look who you are - just a particle of history
Another faceless casualty - pretending it will be O.K...
Look who you are.
So you just give up - yeah you just give in
You go to sleep and dream at night of the life that might have been
When you've had enough - How much can you take?
Just try to convince yourself everything will be OK
It'll never be OK
Look who you are - just a member of society
In a tragic comedy - pretending it will be O.K.
Look who you are - just a particle of history
Another faceless nobody - pretending it will be O.K...it'll never be O.K...
What can you believe?
And what do you tell yourself to get some sleep
The human disease
Yeah we'll believe anything to get relief
You can't wish it away
The little things that we tell
Ourselves day after day
To find some escape
And deny all the problems we don't wanna face
And you know that it's true
That we're all believing
Lies
The words that we use
To define our lives
Lies
We can't face the truth
So we wear a disguise
And you can't deny
That we're all believing - lies
What's hiding under your bed?
Is it more of the stuff
You make up in your head
And do you just pretend
That you have all the answers
When nothing makes sense
Can you show me some proof?
For all the things you believe
When you don't have a clue
It's the human excuse
To buy into the stories
That sound good to you
It's only ourselves we're deceiving
You better believe it
How dose it feel to be one of those with your backs against the wall
The wrong way down a one way street and your headed for a fall
You got no hope and no way to go and there's no one to call a friend
Your only prayer is that someone cares enough to helping hand
There no way your not gonna see it
You better you better believe it
Lets leave this fun
It a holiday in the sun
A life so serene for you not me
Yeah we got it all, no problems my friend
We're oblivious because it us not them
Everyday in the USA its a life of luxury
Are we so blind not to satisfy to your each and every need
And we don't care about the world out there we just go about out our lives
So self absorbed we can just ignore the hate outside out eyes
There no way your not gonna see it
You better you better believe it
Lets leave this fun
It a holiday in the sun
A life so serene for you not me
Yeah we got it all, no problems my friend
We're oblivious because it us not them
Isn't it nice when you have everything you need
Just before you close your eyes
It'd nice for you and me nice for you and me
Lets leave this fun
It a holiday in the sun
A life so serene for you not me
Yeah we got it all, no problems my friend
God you must be kidding me, thought this was supposed to be
The home of the brave and the free for you and me
But now there's something wrong - shit's been going on too long.
It's never gonna change, there's no way i say.
What's the CIA and the NRA?
They're all the same - just the names are changed.
Fuck - there's no excuse - any way you lose.
It's all a joke in the good old USA.
All we need is more factories pumping filth into the sky.
Corporate greed and perverted priests, it's the story of our lives.
And apathy's the national disease and there is no end in sight.
God save the USA - blame the president and say your prayers tonight.
The irony of liberty is no one here is truly free
When elections are stolen bij the G.O.P.
So watch the nightly news - find out how you are getting screwed.
What you gonna do? - there's no use i say
Fuck the industry - the aristocracy
Fuck they're all the same - just the names are changed.
Fuck ther's no excuse, any way you lose.
It's all a joke in the good old USA.
Government hypocricy - American Idolatry - Corporate philosophy.
Nightly news of tragedies - Where no one cares what's right or wrong
Our heroes now are all long gone - The freedoms that we all abuse
On a dark desert highway cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy, and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night there she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell and I was thinking to myself
This could be heaven or this could be hell
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down that corridor I thought I heard them say
Her mind is tiffany twisted she's got the Mercedes bends
She's got a lot of pretty, pretty boys that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember some dance to forget
So I called up the captain please bring me my wine
We haven't had that spirit here since 1969
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night just to hear them say
Mirrors on the ceiling pink champagne on ice
And she said we are all just prisoners here
Of our own device and in the master's chambers
They gathered for the feast they stab it with their steely knives
But they just can't kill the beast last thing I remember
I was running for the door I had to find the passage
Back to the place I was before relax said the nightman
We are programed to receive
Falling Down everday - to where I can't be found
Left like some wreckage that's been shot down over sacred ground
Can't find a place for refuge - safe exits slip away
No chance for my redemption - stumbling towards an early grave
Falling everday - farther all the time
Searching for something there - something i can never find
Falling everday - farther all the time
Searching for something there - something i can never find
Without a sound - the silence waits-keeps pulling me back down
I push against it but there is no use I can't stop now
No place I can hold to - how much further can i go
Every time I turn around I see places that look so unreal
Every time I try to say exactly how I feel
And when I look at you I see a different side each and every time
I try to find another place there's nothing I can find
I wanna say feel it slipping away
It happens ever time you're in my mind
I want to say things that to you are true
But I'm not sure about you
I'll never be who you want me to be
Gotta take some time in my life
Won't ever know until I try
I just gotta know why
Wouldn't you like all the best things out of life?
All you got to do is just try then run for your life
All you gotta do is what's best for you
All you gotta do is get through and run for your life
A silence speaks to me a voice that seems so far away
The unheard cries of wasted lives I hear them everyday
Left in this sullen room I search for things that I can find
To hold on to to help me through nothing can be divined
All of these images start crumbling from my memory
A burning plane as its going down the last scream before it hits the ground
A lost ship on a raging sea a blinking distress signal of emergency
A run away train careening off the tracks the last breath before a heart attack
The earthquake as it shakes your room promising falling skies in impending doom
One chance you feel it before you meet with your destiny
One chance you need it to com to terms with mortality
All thats important to me
Everything inside of me
All that's trivial will fade and soon recede you will see when on a date with destiny
Look in the jaws of your own demise watch your life pass before your eyes
Did you live like a dream come true or did you just survive?
Did you do all you could do?
In a fall from a burning tower
What would you do with just one more hour?
Live that hour out everyday
Like it was your last you'll live much better that way
Things you can't deny you best believe it when everything you wanted is gone
Struck down although you don't like it nothing of value to be found
Violence breeds violence you know we'll never stop it for progress we will protect the game
We struck the fuse you can't refuse it the memory is all that will remain
The political scene coming apart at the seams
Its the end of the American Dream
The temperature is ready to burst
The future is not what it seems for the American Dream
Time has come you know we can't stop it
You know that the end is drawing near
Knocked down the sound of it collapsing
So loud no one can hear
Mindless old tyrants
do you hear the sirens song that will herald your demise
excessive sessions on your transgressions
I am a puppet on a string
I am the worst thing worst thing you've ever seen
I am impossible to believe
I'm pulled by gravity shocked by my depravity
I'm irrational I'm illogical hypocritical a bleeding heart liberal
I'm an alien dressed like Gideon I'm a malcontent
a thorough modern idiot watch me as I fall
I am humble I am vain
what motivates me something I can't explain
I am outrageous and insane
I'm fueled by gasoline, alcohol and nicotine
I'm an honest hypocrite imploding modern idiot
I am a slave to my abuse convicted caught with no excuse
I'm pathetic apathetic disillusioned disconnected
I am lost I am free I'm impossible to believe
a walking chemical statistically impossible
Responsibility is a foreign word to me
it's time to buckle down
time to stand your ground
set any way of life for which you abide by
while not always the ways you would take
set them before you make a mistake
open your eyes and see
I've got too much fun ahead of me
I've got too much fun ahead of me
reality doesn't, it doesn't refer to me
the real worlds no big deal
what's real is what you feel
so tell me now buddy: what are you gonna do?
Will you take advice from me?
Will you be who you wanna be?
You could be going down along ways before me
I've got too much fun ahead of me
I've got too much fun ahead of me
reality doesn't, it doesn't refer to me
the real worlds no big deal, what's real is what you feel
so tell me now buddy: what are you gonna do?
Will you take advice from me?
Will you be who you wanna be?
You could be going down along ways before me
I've got too much fun ahead of me
Hey listen people, I'd like to say
A million minds have a choice but
they choose to walk this way
So when it's time to
make your decisions true
remember who it is you're fighting for it's you
No one can tell you how you shuld feel inside
What's right from wrong is a choice
you make up in your own mind
think you shoud, well you got time
No matter what the case may be
You can demand.
You can demand what you want and take it you can
command all the rules and take them you can demand
And when the times
your wasted to do more
just keep you head out of the clouds
and keep your feet on the floor
And when you think that at times
it's tough to do
Remember who it is you're
looking out for you
Don't let them trick you with fancy words
As long as you're able to see through the lines
you'll be just fine
Think you should hurry well you got time
No matter what the cause may be you can demand
You can demand what you need and I'll tell you
if you can't understand this way of life
your way of living how you don't like won't
suffice, look at all the things you have
then decide it's your life and realize
Shot down a million times
But I won't be fooled again
I need some time to figure it out
And put things on the mend
They say that time heals all
Well I hope that's true for me
Been stabbed in the back so many times
By my troubled history
Just need a reason why can't I just justify
All the pain and suffering
Yell Out in defiance
Your world's not for me
Confused on a path down a one-way street
Blind from what I can't see
I did it once before like some stupid trend
But I won't be fooled again
Blank stares from a million eyes
That are looking back at me
I sit around and ask myself
Just what the fuck they see
Am I all that you ever wanted
Do I fit your policy?
Wont be a victim of your mad disease
I just can't understand and I don't know how anyone can
cause with every passin' day it gets worse in every way,
it's time that we make a stand, it's time that we make a stand
Sit here and wonder why how many more people gotta die
before we're gonna learn how many got to burn until we all realize,
until we all realize
See it everyday, it never goes away, never slowing,
always growing, never going away
This is the day, you'll see our way, we've had enough,
some things are gonna change, the future's bright, people unite,
better believe you're in for a fight
Behind smiles and pageantry lies a vile and sadistic history,
insidious design, deceitful and sublime, feeding on misery, feeding on misery
See it everyday, it never goes away, never slowing,
always growing, never going away
This is the day, you'll see our way, we've had enough,
some things are gonna change, the future's bright,
people unite, better believe you're in for a fight
The world's got a bad disease and I think I got a fucking remedy,
molotov cocktail, freedom will prevail, a new world society
We're not gonna be ignored, believe us this means war,
something you can trust, you shouldn't fuck with us,
not gonna take it anymore, we're not gonna take it anymore
See it everyday, it never goes away, never slowing,
always growing, never going away
This is the day, you'll see our way, we've had enough,
some things are gonna change, the future's bright,
people unite, better believe you're in for a fight,
this is the day, you'll see our way, we've had enough,
some things are gonna change, the future's bright,
one day you'll have to ask yourself
am I doing what I want for someone else
from that day forward you'll find that living
you're better off when you answer to yourself
and when its time to take a stance
tune them out inside your brain
everyone will tell you lies
they'll cheat then laugh at your demise
tell me who's to blame
some day when you look back and you take time
in the past was I doing all I really could
that one step forward a better life wasn't all that hard
now that you're living like you should
I am a firm believer
sovereign minded high achiever
solid in my sense of worth and goals
philosophies are meant to trick you
missionaries out to get you
Looking ahead, not far away, someday soon but not today things may get better,
things may get worse depending on who gets there first,
nothing in common, nothing will change,
together we'll go our separate ways,
nothing to stop us from cavin' in,
someone's gotta lose when someone wins,
look at the world you're livin' in
Someday you'll have to pick a side
For the rest of your life who's on your side?
A voice in the dark, a light in the haze,
a flame that burns then fades away,
alone in the night a ship lost at sea,
a state of emergency with no way of knowing what's comin' next,
survival of who fits in best, looking for answers but where to begin,
we all wanna know how this one ends, look at the world you're livin' in
Someday you'll have to pick a side
For the rest of your life who's on your side?
(Look at the world you're livin' in)
Who's on your side?
(Do you know who you wrap again?)
Who's on your side?
(And your tears are justified)
Who's on your side?
This isn't make believe
A faded picture show
As we drown you're slowly lettin' go, look at the world you're livin' in
Someday you'll have to pick a side
For the rest of your life who's on your side?
(Look at the world you're livin' in)
Who's on your side?
(Do you know who you wrap again?)
Who's on your side?
(And your tears are justified)
Whoa, yeah! we have it all right now
Whoa, yeah! we have it all right now
We have it all!
When you know that it's all over, but you've got a lot left to say
Then go on now, and do something about it, cause it's all in your head
Anyway!
When it seems that you won't make it, you just can't give up on today,
Just break it down, and make ya think about it, in the end you won't be
Filled with accolades
You gotta find a way. we know these times are tough
Just try to seize the day,
What are we waiting for?
We have everything
Whoa, yeah! we have it all right now
Whoa, yeah! we have it all right now
We have it all!
When it feels like everyone is out to get you, and your dreams are
Shattered, things will never change.
Always remember that I'll be there to help you, I'll be the boy who will
Always find a better way.
I will make this on no crossing, if your world it starts to decay
Go straight ahead forever you can count on me, I will never leave you
Floating in the wake NO WAY!
You gotta find a way. we know these times are tough
Just try to seize the day,
What are we waiting for?
We have everything
Whoa, yeah! we have it all right now
Whoa, yeah! we have it all right now
We have it all!
Crushing Existence, what are we searching for? to much is there now and
There's always a quest for more,
And when u think that there's nothing to left to like, just pick yourself
Waiting is here
Everything in my mind is clear
Never going back to a world that sings
Never going back, never fade away
Everything's broke
Gotta get back to a place i know
Never going back to a world that sings
Never going back, never fade away
Never Fade AWAY....

Remebering what cant never be
Yesterdays gone
Todays the only thing i can count on
Future is the only hope for me

Waiting!

Good looking out this time
You never listen you never know
never the lender you always follow
cause it's you doing it you say it's alright
to yourself you're lying
I didn't wanna see you dying
before you know it you're all alone
your can is empty you feel such sorrow
you think that using
all your best friends is alright
to yourself you're lyin'
can't you see it can't you feel that
your vices are ruining your life and on and on,
your vices are ruining your life your mind
your vices are ruining your life
why can't you stop that vice from ending your life
you're always missing you're always slow
used to be so deep now you're so shallow
another friend out there
no I don't think it's right
your soul is frying
can't you hear your mother crying
take your medicine
thru your nose
fine today but what about tomorrow
say it does not control you
but think I might
you've hit rock bottom
can't you use it can't you see that
you're telling lies
and for help you are crying
I keep on knocking but there's nobody home
you're telling lies, living high, now you're dying
if you want somebody's help
You've been looking for me in the most obvious places
Still I'm nowhere to be found
I'm perched atop the highest buildings in the city
And I'm inrigued as I look down
All the ants below share the same comfortable existence
But they still wear the same frown
What ashame that they can't see the beauty
That's surrounding them when there's so much around
Try don't choose to walk away
There's a part within your soul it just takes
Time to find it
When you try take time and seize the day
Cause after today's gone
You'll never have the chance again
So try
While I sit here with so many thoughts
I'm listenign to the rain
Falling to the ground
I'm just hoping somday soon all thge unhappy people find
Solace in the sound
And listen to the old cliches that all the elders say
That life goes by too fast
I just wish there was some way that I could stop the clock
And make the good times last
Don't throw it all away no one
You must realize it's all in your mind
Don't emphasize the pain on one particular day
If you feel you're starting to slide
Just pull yourself together
Time - never bothered me
till I saw it slipping slowly away from me
and time took my years away
Give me back my memories of a better day
and now I've got a lot to lose
I've got a lot to learn
and no time to burn
Rain - spoiled a sunny day
Till I saw those cleansing drops took the
dirt away
and change always frightened me
till I changed into the man I always
Time has changed, what's goin' wrong?
We can only regress as time marches on, down with the system,
enough of the lies
You can only realize if you open up your eyes, up your eyes
I don't know if we're ever gonna see, tell me what's gone wrong with society,
got no future, this is no life for me
(Ohohoh)
And I don't know just what went wrong, all that I know it's gone on too long,
got no future, this is no life for me, not for me
(Ohohoh)
Look ahead, what is our fate?
To make the same mistakes we made yesterday or do we try to save ourselves
Or sit back and laugh as it all goes to hell, goes to hell
I don't know if we're ever gonna see, tell me what's gone wrong with society,
got no future, this is no life for me
(Ohohoh)
And I don't know just what went wrong, all that I know it's gone on too long,
got no future, this is no life for me, not for me
(Ohohoh)
Time has changed, what's goin' wrong?
We can only regress as time marches on, marches on
(Marches on)
