Society is an American horror film. It was finished in 1989, but not released in the US until 1992. It was Brian Yuzna's directorial debut and was written by Rick Fry and Woody Keith. The film stars Billy Warlock as Bill Whitney, Devin DeVasquez as Clarissa Carlyn, Evan Richards as Milo and Ben Meyerson as Ferguson. Screaming Mad George was responsible for the special effects.
Society is considered to be a minor classic in the body horror sub-genre. A sequel, Society 2: Body Modification, was in development, with a script written by Stephan Biro.
Bill Whitney (Billy Warlock) seems to have it all. His family is wealthy and he lives in a mansion in Beverly Hills, California. He's popular at his high school, looks to be a shoo-in for class president, has a cute cheerleader girlfriend and owns a new Jeep Wrangler to drive around in. Despite this, he feels as though he does not fit in with his family or their high-society friends. When his sister's ex-boyfriend Blanchard (Tim Bartell) gives him a surreptitiously recorded tape of what sounds like his family engaged in a vile, murderous orgy, Bill begins to suspect that his feelings are justified.

Society - when you release
Deprave my kind of love - like disease
You was insignificant, bewitched by my self-confidenc
Stultified with ignorance
Misbelief - recoil from me
Deride myself - we disagree
Deranged by insignificance, bewitched by my self-confidence
Stultified with ignorance
When I came - unrecognized
Wrapped up in silence - satisfied
When I gone to save from you
Afraid of love - I run from you
When I came - you`ve got me wrong
You never saw for what I`d long
When I gone to save from you
I run from you
Grievous hate - beyond the line
Deride myself to merge in grime
Deranged by insignificance, bewitched by my self-confidence
I came without reluctance
Society - with flawless face
When I came - expecting blaze
You was insignificant, bewitched by my self-confidence
Stultified with ignorance
When I came ...
When I came - you`ve got me wrong
You never saw for what I`d long
When I gone - all what I got
Afraid of love - forget me not
When I came - unrecognized
Wrapped up in silence - satisfied
When I gone - all what I got
Our society what a drag
Another nervous breakdown another fag
You can t get to sleep cos you lost your pills
And the protein tablets make you ill
Our society- what a drag!
Drive around in a smashed up car
Sometimes you wonder who you are
You look depressed as you walk upstairs
Cos you lost your job and no one cares
See the policemen running round
Driving culture underground
They get paid to put you away
Cos that s how the system works these days
Join the people on the Dole
They lost interest years ago
What hope is there for you and me?
If this is our society?
MANIC RAGE
SOCIETY
Watch the news
Somebody killed a baby
They left the body in a dustbin
Watch the news
Somebody raped an old lady
They left her dazed and drugged
And look where society’s at
What you gonna do?
Look where society’s got
And there’s nothing you can do
‘Cos this country is screwed
Oh, society
We’re what you fear
What you don’t wanna here
Screw society
And screw Britannia
Screw Britannia
Watch the news
The government has lied again
What’s the truth?
The Hutten enquiry
Fuck society
The upper class are fucking twats
The government has failed
Nothing will change
‘Cos this world runs on hate
And I don’t wanna be here anyway
No, I don’t wanna be here anyway
So Screw society
You’ll fear me when you hear me
Screw society
‘Cos this is the truth
Britain is screwed
And there is nothing you can do
No there’s nothing you can do
There’s nothing you can do
There’s nothing you can do
I've been really trying
To get some peace of mind
But the world just keeps on spinning
And I am starting to unwind
Teachers teaching children
To go out and get their own
But they forget about the heart
They forget about their souls
And it's hard to convince yourself
When your life's been gauged by power and wealth
Spend your whole life trying to break free
From this society
So I climb up to a higher place
Where I am not binded by tradition
Or ruled by any race
The system always pulls me down
Can't stand to set me free
Throw me right back in the masses
Say that's where you're gonna be
And it's hard to convince yourself
When your life's been gauged by power and wealth
Spend your whole life trying to break free
From this society
Still dream a dream of humanity
Somewhere a world exists
In softly turned phrases
And melodies of bliss
Painted in a picture
Of violets and blues
Stolen from the moment
When I first encountered truth
And it's hard to convince yourself
Well, when your life's been gauged by power and wealth
Spend your whole life trying to break free
From this society
And it's hard to convince yourself
Well, when your life's been gauged by power and wealth
Spend your whole life trying to break free
From this society
I have been really trying
i can't stand your right wing phonies i don't like you congress cronies you spend your days at shopping malls you buy guns 'cause you don't have any balls society makes we want to puke america - love it or leave it i would if i could but i don't have any money corporations raising kids on top gun crap but i don't wanna go to war and die like a rat!
The disapproval's all I need
To keep my conscience clean
Turn your back on me
Turn your back on me
So you tell me just how to be
And I'll live my life accordingly
Follow blindly
My conscience clean
Society
Society, We all know there's something wrong and we know it all along
Sincerity, You may think there's no one else till they put you on a shelf
Society, Pay your taxes stand in line help them plan for your demise
Society, Crush the weak to get your share cause nobody's playing fair
And no one cares
How long you pray makes no difference today
When it's society devices how you'll pay
When finding the truth makes no difference to you
Anyway you look at it you're gonna get screwed
You lose
Society, No one here can get along cause our history's to long
Sincerity, Think you're going with the flow but you never really know
Society, To all the leaders it's a game and it's making you insane
Society, Data patterns are supplied proof tap back up all the lies
hardly alive
Society, We all know there's something wrong and we know it all along
Sincerity, You may think there's no one else till they put you on a shelf
Society, You can go on with the flow but you never really know
Society, Pay your taxes stand in line you can vote or get a life
Do you remember the fun we had when you poisoned me?
You lay in bed, try to look as dead as possible
you and your mask try to wash off the dirt with sin
you have one friend, a misery rope
surround your neck, always talks about hope
you do your dance, and death inhale your voice
you take your pills, and can´t tell no wrong from right
Afraid of sleep, you don´t know who´s watching you
you wake in fear; please kill the ghost with me
you don´t know - what´s dream and what´s reality?
you concentrate - don´t fall into insanity
one million keys
to open your doors
one million scars
to cover your holes
a million codes
to open your doors
a million names
to cover your floors
you always find, that everything is not enough
deaths cabaret, society in your head
the silent scream, the panic strikes at peak
your friendly gun, son of the shiny path
you don´t know - what´s you and what´s your fantasy?
Stuck in a world where I've grown emotionless,
Just so cold.
Scared to show feelings don't want to give leeway,
Scared to love cause of the he say she say.
I just expect it.... To lose it all in the end.
Past haunted of good memory's. Is this why they changed?
Cause they envy me... A lifetime of hate towards me.
Will karma come in my afterlife?
Paradise,
I can just imagine. thinking that's why my enemies haven't took me out.
I'm just stuck in misery many thoughts in my head got me going nuts.
scared to speak my true feeling and be labeled crazy.
Must be what they want. Don't want to see me on top.
Throwing dirt on my name.
But Calvin Cant be stopped. I just cant believe they put there dope down
for a few, to talk shit! Its amazing.
They just hating cause they whole crew cant accomplish what I one mans done,
But now I got a team. Prepare for the take over.
97% OF these fucks use my name for fame. If it wasn't for that
They wouldn't be in the game. Anit got no shame. Looking like a bum,
on the corner, begging for change.
Get your own creditability, I got goals! I remember all the fakes,
the phony all up in my shit. My life! you don't know me.
You just talk to people I barely associate with.
Late nights I light a spliff trying to calm my nerves
(all the drama in the world must be why I'm couscous to get close to another),
{I conceder myself a lover but everyday I'm at war, a soldier in gods eyes}.
It Takes one man to change history, I pray please let me reach the nation,
2012 is coming around soon, heed the word and change,
cause we headed for doom.
Dreams haunted of a world of chaos and terror,
Waking up alone so what its there to be scared of?
No love. No friends. so, theirs no way to get hurt. the only promise in life
is to be laying in the dirt.
People calming I'm shady. I am. But in a different definition.
Just sit back relax and calm your nerves.
No stress
No drama
I try to keep it that way.
giving nothing but love, and still I got a whole army hating on me.
but fuck yall.
punk bitches.
Frightening voices calling out my name
Something's pushing and grabbing after me
Around tight corners in between
I'm lying
As I try to scream
So I grow up
With a view, no-one had before
I see society
I see the misery
And so I wake up
with hate in my core
I see society
And I see memories
of the death
I am a child
with the age of twelve
start consuming nicotine for my own health
I am a teenie, I am sixteen
start taking drugs now
Cause I can't find another way to escape
The mist of idiocy
makes them all blind
The dust in their souls is eating through their minds
I'm getting older
and all I see
are Mindless zombies
taking pills on the streets
Out of hatred
I'd like to quit
Cuz look at our society, It's a piece of shit
There's no worth
for the truth
because no-one cares
There's no hope
for all
just look at yourselves!

And I realize, as I start to breathe
