• The Strain - Blood For Blood
• The Strain - Fixx
• The Strain - I See Stars
• The Strain - Mordred

You'll never know the hate that I've known
Though you'll pretend that you hear
You're privileged You could never understand
So I will hurt you and you'll see
Desperate indignant with life's how I feel
Struggling to cope with it
Can't let them break my beliefs
Try hard (but) must realize
Life is just passing me by
Nothing comes easy in this world
Uphill battles ahead
Must correct the gross misuse
Of justice and liberty
We must stand up before it's too late
While they bitch and moan and say
That it offends them or someone else
Then we'll become a silent tolerate state
The want to better our way of life
To accept and not to question it
They say that's the way it should be
I think therefore I disagree
Anything I say is wrong
What they decide is what it must be
The sheep are quick to believe
My hate no one can take that from me
Anger the pain the strain
Brewing to explode
Anger the pain the strain
I look towards the future and see
That there's nothing set aside there for me
But a lonely death
With no one to mourn for my passing
Because I'll be another rebel dead
That made no difference in this nation
That doesn't like to hear the truth
Which is
Anger the pain the strain
I'll leave a fuckin scare
Anger the pain the strain
In this elitist life
Anger the pain the strain
In this elitist life
Anger the pain the strain
Cause my hate will overcome
Anything that ever stands in my way
Blinded why can't you see what I mean
The writing is on the wall
Open your eyes to the truth
Open your eyes to my truth

Back to back
The president cracks
There's no power left
In the old white shack
It's the same
New Washington
Red button
One push
And the whole world is gone
It's the same
I don't think that he should take the...
Strain
Live off your nerves
You've run out of verve
Take those pills
And you'll feel no ills
It's the same
I don't think that he should take the
Strain
He can't have it all his own way
Same chance same place but wrong day
He can't have it all his own way
Same chance same place but wrong day
Oh no...
Scream at nature to steal some papers
On with the camera to get the answers
Tipping the waiter to find who that was
Leaving the night
Go undercover now
The strain
Strain
Back to back
The president cracks
There's no power left
In the old white shack
It's the same
New Washington
A red button
One push
And the whole world is gone
It's the same
I don't think that he should take the
Strain
He can't have it all his own way
Same chance same place but wrong day
He can't have it all his own way
Same chance same place but wrong day
He can't have it all his own way
Same chance same place but wrong day

Why have we been so reckless?
Acting like we don't know right from wrong
And it's not like we didn't expect this
When we've really known all along
It could only be so long until we really felt it
We've been digging our way down instead of digging our way out
We can't keep living the way we have been
It'll catch up to us and destroy everything else as well
I know we were never perfect
But it was more than worth it
And we don't deserve it
The strain that give with the way that we live
It's taken too long for this realization
But I'm hoping we will have so many more
I never want to stop trying to make things better
No matter how good I think they are
Why have we been so complacent?
Accepting everything as good enough
With all the effort we never put in
Convenience was the priority to us
Taking the first step is the hardest part
After we've been digging our way down instead of digging our way out
We can't keep living the way we have been
It'll catch up to us and destroy everything else as well
I know we were never perfect
But it was more than worth it
And we don't deserve it
The strain that give with the way that we live
It's taken too long for this realization
We're all sorry for the lost time
But will we take a step in a new direction?
I don't want to waste any more time
But I can't do this without you
Will you take my hand?
We can't keep living the way we have been
It'll catch up to us and destroy everything else as well
I know we were never perfect
But it was more than worth it
And we don't deserve it

Into his flesh the knife cuts
Inside he wants to survive
Surgeons working hard to try to keep him alive
He's only fourteen years old
Beside the bed a cop sighs
Don't think it's fair he's too young to die
Pulse slows and then his heart quits
Doctor's try to shock his life back
They're unaware that in the street he sells crack
Bullet hole through the kidneys
The man who shot him understood
If he could turn it round I'm sure that he would
In times of greed and hate
One must evaluate
The cause of all this pain
Social problems stay the same
In times of greed and hate
One must retaliate
The truth is never plain
Understand this is the strain
Tried to reach society's standard
Have wealth makes you a good man
Not in the wrong he just wants to fit in the plan
Teach our kids of wealth and power
If you happen to live on the wrong side
Got to live a life of crime just to keep you alive
Today morality has lost
Everyone's reaching for the top
We can't change the world if a bullet can't be stopped
In this age we've lost all our values
And maybe nothing can suffice
If it's true we'll crush ourselves in a self destructive vice
In times of greed and hate
One must evaluate
The cause of all this pain
Social problems stay the same
In times of greed and hate
One must retaliate
The truth is never plain
