CarMax is the United States' largest used-car retailer and a Fortune 500 company. The first CarMax was started in September 1993. As of August 2010 the company has 103 locations.
The concept for CarMax was developed by Circuit City executives under then-CEO Richard L. Sharp. It was developed for nearly a year in 1991, using the code name "Project X", and was also known as "Honest Rick's Used Cars" to those intimately involved in the skunk works team. The concept was actually first proposed by a consultant hired by Circuit City to evaluate possible business opportunities beyond the scope of their consumer electronics locations. While used cars has always been the main business, CarMax purchased the rights to locations from car manufacturers such as Chrysler, Jeep, Mitsubishi and Toyota. CarMax also purchased an Auto Mall in Kenosha, Wisconsin that had additional manufacturer franchises, such as Ford, BMW and Volvo. The first Car-Max used car auto superstore was opened in September 1993, 1.7 miles (2.7 km) from Circuit City's corporate offices in Richmond, Virginia. As of February 26, 2009, Car-Max operated 100 used car superstores and seven new car franchises,all of, which are integrated or co-located with its used car superstores.
Hard times are comin your way
You're gonna have to rise above it some day
Organize your life and figure it out
Or you'll go under without a doubt
Hard times! Hard times!
Seems i'm bein forced into a mold
Hard times! Hard times!
Forcin me and i'm growin cold
Hard times are coming through
But if your hard they won't get to you
They're gonna try to drive you into the ground
But never surrender, never go down!
Hard times! Hard times!
Seems i'm bein forced into a mold
Hard times! Hard times!
Forcin me and i'm growin cold
Cromag!
Skinhead!
Breakout!
Memories of the times you had
That's the way you see yourself
You fight for your rights
You fight to survive
You come into this world
With nothing except yourself
You, you leave this world
With nothing except yourself
Do what you want
And how you want it
Feel it's right, go out and do it
Think for yourself
And think for the best
Or you'll go down just like the rest
You come into this world
With nothing except yourself
You, you leave this world
Why you messing around with me
Pushin me around
Values changing
But I can't get caught in it today
We won't lose
with what we've got
Cause we'll just sit
and watch it all rot
Keep your ideas
But keep your distance from me
Keep off my back
cause the things you do
I don't wanna see
I don't wanna see
I don't wanna see
I don't wanna see
I don't wanna see
Wanna see
how far I can go
Test my patience
see what I know
Just not happy
with nothing to do
Getting bold
In this lifetime I know I found what's real
So hard I try to control my mind
I'm coming back, coming back
I feel it in my heart
I know I lived a life of strife
And this could be the last chance in this
Ad I know I got to change my ways
I know there ain't no compromise I can be livin' a life of lies
Life of lies and I know I gotta change my ways
Times gonna getcha gotcha it's creeping up on you
It's time to do the things I've always known I had to do
I try, yes I try, how I long to be with you again
In this lifetime I see you everywhere
The pleasure and pain was all to my gain
I tried so hard looking so far
My faith this is my courage I must go on
I call to you savior of my soul help me please
I'm just begging to see the line that's drawn
between the good and bad
And I know I've got to change my ways
When I recall the things I've done
I can see I was completely mad
I know I cannot change my past
But with you I could change my destiny
You'd better face those facts
It's the blind leadin the blind
And there ain't no turning back
There's a rhythm to this madness
And I think it's gettin strange
I can feel it in the air it's time
We gotta rearrange
It's time for us we gotta make
The crucial change
Face the facts
Nation against nation
And it's just so plain to see
That's the way that cats
And dogs wanna be
Hate to think what
The future's got in store for me
Got a stomach full
All you hippies better start to face reality,
All your far fetched dreams of anarchy,
Better start to see things the way they are,
Cause the way things
Are going they won't be goin' far.
World peace can't be done.
It just can't exist.
World peace can't be done.
Anarchy's a mess.
Things are gettin hectic.
It's all gonna end.
You don't know what's waitin' up around the bend.
Open your eyes, perhaps you'll realize.
If AIDS don't get ya then the warheads will.
All you hippies better start to face reality,
All your far fetched dreams of anarchy,

World peace!
Anarchy's a mess!
World peace can't be done!
World peace!
No it can't.
World peace!
It just won't exist.
Everyday and night
I walk these same old streets
Nothing seems the same without her
Sleepless nights
Days of misery
When will I learn to live my life again?
Everyday and night I think about her
Everything I see reminds me of her
And every night you know I dream about her
My life feels so incomplete with her
All I (All I)
All I wanna know
Can I ever live without her?
All I (All I)
All I wanna know
Can I ever live without my baby
Everyday and night I think about her
Everything I see reminds me of her
And every night you know I dream about her
My life feels so incomplete with her
Everyday and night
I walk these same old streets
and nothing seems the same without her
Sleepless nights
Days of misery
When will I learn to live my life again?
Everyday and night I think about her
Everything I see reminds me of her
And every night you know I dream about her
My life feels so incomplete with her
All I (All I)
All I wanna know
Can I ever live without her
All I (All I)
All I wanna know
Can I ever live without my baby?
All I, All I
All I wanna know
All I, All I
All I wanna know
Ancient reminders of worlds gone by, concrete tombstones reach for the sky, like hieroglyphic writings on the wall, modern man just doesn't seem to hear his call, force of times behind the changes bound to come, primitive man was once forced to succumb, both caught in a web of eternal quest,
wiped out by their search for conquest, taken back to a land of wonder and of fear, prehistoric creatures stalked the wild frontier, all can be told in unlocking of the past, cyclical repetition ah we see the contrast, skeletons in a closet as dark as the mind, hidden truths there shine light for the blind, somewhere back in time when cave dwellers walked, was a spoken language that needed not be talked, extinction found the way to man of yesterday, only to occurr in tragedies today, lost innocence in the maze of confusion, sets the final stage for this drama of illusion, simplicity's dig to unfold great mysteries, as we plunge forward engulfed by our destinies, what will future man uncover in our ruin, Kali-Yuga progresses wheels of time are spun, technological society buried by ignorance, fossils for decay victims of circumstances
Strugglin in the streets just trying to survive
Searchin for the truth is just keepin us alive
Gotta break these shackles gotta break these chains
Said the only way we'll do it is if we use our brains
Said there's gotta be some meaning to the purpose of life
I know there must be more than the struggle and strife
Cause I'm looking for the answers and I need a clue
Cause my mind's so disturbed now what do I do?
Notice everywhere there's mass confusion and packs of lies
We gotta know!
We're starin down our enemies in the eyes
We gotta know!
These are the days of the cheaters and the cheated
We gotta know!
But we're not gonna bend you know we won't be defeated
We gotta know!
Strugglin in the streets just trying to survive
Searchin for the truth is just keepin us alive
Gotta break these shackles gotta break these chains
Said the only way we'll do it is if we use our brains
Said there's gotta be some meaning to the purpose of life
I know there must be more than the struggle and strife
Cause I'm looking for the answers and I need a clue
Cause my mind's so disturbed now what do I do?
This planet's turnin into a hell
And I figured out that things don't really look too well
Reactions coming they're already starting to show
But the question is who'll go with the flow
You know there's gonna... be a fight!
Cause somebody's always tryin to keep ya...
From doing the right
There's always gonna be somebody
Comin no matter where you go
So now you know why we gotta know...
Victims of forgotten wars
Forgotten lives
No one ever hears them cry no
Fallen soldiers under crimson sky
No one ever wonders why
The tanks come rolling in
You know they just can't win no
The politician lies
Innocent people die
A mother watches as her baby dies
A soldier starts to wonder why
Look up into the sky
Hear the bullets fly
Don't feel the horror in their hearts
As bullets tear their lives apart
Bodies burning in the madness
Can you still believe their lies?
Look around at the pain and the chaos
Smell the corpses putrify
For some so called righteous cause
So many victims die
For the gains of the rich
So many poor must die
No feelings for the pained
Drowning in pools of blood
Never hear the mother's screams
Uncovering her dead child's limbs in the mud
Is a heroes welcome received
When he returns from war
Or just the pain and confusion
Of a guilt that he can't ignore
Unleashed weapons of destruction
Slaughtering the innocent overseas
A soldier comes back half a man
Begging for handouts on his knees
Oh those medals don't mean nothing
To you anymore
It was all for some rich man's gain
Now ask yourself what for
Sticks a needle in his arm
To help him ease the pain
Still hearing the screams of his dying friends
He searches for a vain
Mother stares out in the dark
Still remembers her baby's smile
Calling out her child's name
Living in total denial
The pain has reached both shores now
The system stays the same
Don't you see that we're just pawns
To their power games
Oh we won't take it won't be victims
Of their war
No we won't take it what have they
Got us fighting for?
We're just the victims of their war
Many eyes look to the skies never to see me, all is lost by the power of time and that which must be, time I am, destroyer of your world, my wrath won't be surpassed as I down all in my path, as time takes its toll upon the seasons, I am the force creating change, you have to dream each breath as it may be your last, you can study me but you'll never know just what happened in the past. Time I am - I am that time. Conquest no one will evade me, my test will you lose your dignity, moments that you try to embrace, get snatched ripped from outta time and space, cruel hand of the master called time, wreaks havoc on you every lifetime, time will make its final sever, nothing ever lasts forever. Use me, oh so very wisely, or grow old only to despise me, seconds pass who can ever possess, moving on with such grace and finesse, victims caught in a web of quest, crying out trying to achieve their best, time I am the only killer of all, I am your eternal downfall
Quest-searching for the answers
Seek-the meaning of your life
Truth-in knowing life's perfection
Now-as infinite as time
Be free from your mind-and travel through time
See what you'll find-fly free
The essence of true living
Loving-life and all its worth
Peace-and transcendental knowledge
Knowing-heaven 's here on earth
Sight beyond sight
Peace from inside
Beyond all time
Now you see the truth is just a little bit closer
Closer than you ever guessed
Now you feel the proof is just a little bit closer
With every single breath
You see the truth is just a little bit closer
closer than you ever guessed
Now you feel the proof is just a little bit closer
Wastin my time servin my mind
For sense pleasures I can find
Gotta get back, back to the truth
You know it was left behind
It's so easy to see, if you wanna be free
Don't wanna be just a slave
Cause no matter how you choose
You know you'll lose
If you ain't looking for the truth
Searchin and searchin for something real
You gotta know how I feel
Cause we been looking after the truth
Rejected those lies of our youth
You've seen the proof
This ain't no spoof
They tried to bend the truth
And we won't regret the things we met
If we're on the path of righteousness
Now we gotta, we gotta go back
Something ain't right so we gotta, we gotta go back
Trace our steps and see what we've done
It's time for us to go back to square one
You just can't seem to see what I mean
You know what I'm talkin about
Cause we been in bondage much too long
Don't you think it's time to get out
See time has taken it's toll and they're in control
We can't let this madness last
Gotta make our move
Get in the groove
I see the signs of a corrupt nation
Living off the blood of humanity
The poor got nothing and nowhere to run
And the rich got more than they know
What to do with
Yeah, don’t you see the signs?
Got our homeless on the park bench
With nowhere to go
Yeah, don’t you see the signs?
There’s people suffering everywhere
And no one seems to care
Yeah, don’t you see the signs?
We got our children begging for money
With no food to eat
Yes, it’s true!
I can’t believe it (no!)
I can’t believe it
I can’t believe
The signs I see (no!)
I won’t receive it (no!)
I won’t receive it (no!)
We go to end the misery
I see the signs everywhere I look yeah
People try to escape through material game
I look around at society
I can’t stand what I see
Stand up, stand up and fight
Don’t be afraid, freedom’s your right
Revolution set yourself free
Walking alone in the cold dark night,
Got a chill in my bones no relief's in sight,
So much time spent with revenge as a thought,
In this life alone so many wars I've fought,
Oh leave what you know behind,
I till take you beyond the limits of your mind,
so take a trip with me to the other side of madness,
so close to the edge,
the other side is madness,
this ain't no fantasy,
the other side is calling me,
so take a trip with me,
tell me if you think you really dare,
try to hold on just for sanity's sake,
so many so-called friends turned out to be fake,
you better hope that there's a better way than me as the hunter cause you know you're the prey,
oh leave what you know behind,
beyond the limits of your mind,
so take a trip with me to the other side of madness,
so close to the edge,
the other side is madness,
this ain't no fantasy,
the other side is calling me,
so take a trip with me,
tell me if you think you really dare.
Come on, I'll take you there,
The place where your nightmare lives,
You get down on your knees and you start to pray,
You know you're mind will never see the light of day
Oh god Oh God what you gonna do?
There ain't no running away when your calling is through.
Oh, I've gone over the line.
Hatred is taken over,
My mind is making me mad,
I want to live in peace,
But there are those who will make the mistake of waking the demons in me,
You get down on your knees and you start to pray,
You know you're mind will never see the light of day,
Oh god Oh God There's nothing you can do?
All of your worst nightmares are coming true.
When I look up ino the sky,
I ask no forgiveness for we all have to die,
I'll never forget when I looked in your eyes
My destiny unfolded to me
You tucked my soul, delivering me
From all of my pain, setting me free
I know I lost control, my mind was in a rage
But then you came to ease the pain
You are the only one, who makes me feel this way
This is not hard for me to see
The only one who makes me feel this way
When I hear your name there is no more fear
You're in my heart this is so clear
They'll be no more pain, once I join you again
I'm begging for you, to pull me through
When I hear your name, just your name, when I hear your name
I won't forget the way I felt when I first looked in your Lotus eyes
For the first time in my life I could see what I must do,
I need to be with you, yes you, you are all I need
Your everlasting love for eternity
You are the only one who makes me feel this way
Livin inside enclosed walls
Got no money in my pockets
No pictures on the walls
Wake up with a gun on my head
That's the life, the life I've lead
What can I do?
Life's hard so
I gotta be hard too
But things always seem to get in my way
But I'm gonna get over for another day
Survival of the streets!
Survival of the streets!
Survival of the streets!
Livin in burnt out buildings
Livin in the streets
It's the life of the cro-mags
Survival of the streets
Never know what's comin up ahead
Street justice happening all around you see
Won't try to talk my way out
Don't try to play those speech games anymore
Overpower-Overcome
Street justice! Street justice! Street justice!
No way out gotta stand strong
Can't you see that I'm not wrong
That's the way it is and can't you see
Street justice for you and me.
Street justice! Street justice!
Street justice! Street justice!
If it really doesn't matter why do you care?
Don't turn around if it's not your affair
Don't try to play those speech games anymore
Overpower-Overcome
Street justice! Street justice!
Street justice! Street justice!
Signs of the times they're all around us No one will look you in the eye You don't know who to trust I'm looking around me and don't like what I see Corruption all around me Cause these, these are the signs of the times Seems like they're losing their minds These are the signs of the times Do you think we're really progressin Just seems to me like some steady regressin I'm lookin on and watchin it corrode Gotta hold back or I'm gonna explode Take a look at where we're going I'm seein the signs and what they're showin I'm totally in disbelief Of modern man and all his grief These are the signs of the times!
I tried to stop myself
Told you those games ain't good for yourself
Gave ya advice cuz I thought you could hear
Better listen closely cuz your end is near
Won't show you no mercy at all
Gonna kick ya, kick ya when you're takin your fall
Won't show you no mercy today
Gonna hit ya, hit ya when you're movin on your way
Put ya in check cuz I thought you were my friend
Sorry it had to come to the bitter end
Just like a blind man you can't see
Better move along and just let me be
Don't come to me for no sympathy
You won't get none here
Just leave you in fear
Won't show you no mercy at all!
What does it take to prove you were a fake
I thought so anyway,
Won't show you no mercy today!
I just can't get through to you
Despite all the ways
I try or any of the things I do
Maybe I'd be better off talkin to a wall
Cause you ain't making any sense at all
I'm walkin and I'm talkin
And I'm tryin and I'm lyin
But I just ain't getting through to you!
I'm walkin and I'm talkin
And I'm tryin and I'm lyin
But I just ain't getting through to you!
Am I just wastin, just wasting all my precious time
Cause I ain't wastin a breath on you or any of your kind
If you had any brains you would open your mind
But, I guess you're juts afriad of what you're gonna find
I just can't get through to you
Despite all the ways
I try or any of the things I do
Maybe I'd be better off talkin to a wall
Cause you ain't making any sense at all
I'm walkin and I'm talkin
And I'm tryin and I'm lyin
But I just ain't getting through to you!
I'm walkin and I'm talkin
And I'm tryin and I'm lyin
But I just ain't getting through to you!
God damn alarms are ringing in my head
Wake up world or we're all gonna wind up dead
Look around I see the hate and the greed
Lifestyles of the rich still people dying in need
Wake up world things are gettin' serious
I'm looking at the future and it don't look too good for us
If we don't take the situation at hand
And spread a message of peace all throughout the land
Cause I'm looking through the eyes of tomorrow
And all I see is misery and sorrow
Desperation and despair everywhere
Reactions of a system that just don't care
Greedy politicians leading people astray
They just want more money they don't care what it takes
Polluting the earth destroying the environment
Building bombs for war and killing the innocent
My mind's in a rage they got me living like an animal
They're feeding off human lives just like cannibals
Killing the planet and everything on it
With their chemical waste dumps and nuclear power plants
Our tax dollars are killing people overseas
Still people dying at home but no one hears their pleas
It's time we the people take their power away
We can't let this madness go on another day
Keep the youth dumb and numb to the state they're in
Keep 'em fighting each other selling crack, coke, and heroin
Mind controlling the masses with TV and the media
What they let you hear don't mean you're free you know
Revolution in the mind but the body must follow
Cause I'm looking at the future through the eyes of tomorrow
Yeah
Take a look at what they've done
How can we let this madness go on
Through the eyes of tomorrow its very clear
No turning back is we don't start right here
Must stand up, know we must stand up
Don't want their dying world of injustice and pollution
We got a solution time for revolution
Must pave the way for a brighter day
They won't give it we gotta take it
Our lives are at stake
A barren wasteland is the price we'll pay
if we don't stand up and fight for the world today
Must stand up, know we must stand up
You see them cutting down all the trees
Poisoning the air, the land, and seas
Destroying the planet and all that it's worth
Just for their moments of pleasure on earth
Their hunger for power would be all our end
If we don't stand up and fight now my friends
Take a look at what they've done
How can we let this madness go on
Through the eyes of tomorrow it's so very clear
There'll be no turning back if we don't start right here
Here we go time and time again
The rich man keeping the poor man in line again
You must be blind cause you keep on following
Them and their system straight to you grave
Your minds in a cage you're just another slave
To false values and false ideals
Peace of mind so hard to find
They got us living on the edge of such coptic times
We need a planet without war or greed
Healthy environment clean air to breathe
Equal opportunity and justice for all
The youth of today, run wild in the streets
They all try to win, in the face of defeat
They still, they kill, they're going straight to hell
They don't hear and they don't see that they're not free
When I walk down these city streets
I see the victims and the casualties
Do they stand, a chance today
In a world that's thrown their away
They race to the grave
Don't want to heal
Don't want to be saved
Abandoned buildings that should be homes
Abandoned children left to roam
Broken families broken dreams
In the night I hear their screams
Can't make your future or kill your past
With a spike in your arm or a shotgun blast
Till you have the strength to look within
You'll be fighting a battle you'll never win
Mortality suffered society said
That money is God and true faith is dead
I see it in their eyes tis life they cannot cope
The system tells them lies, tries to stick us into giving up hope
We're down, we're down, but we're not out
There's still time to find what life's about
Is there a way of telling the troubled youth
That what they see on TV is not always the truth
We're down, we're down, but we're not out
Ain't really got nothing to say
It all comes across in a negative way
You, you best learn about bout be humbled
Cause you too you'll wind up stumbled
Not one bit of substance
In a word they speak
When they get outspoken
It's only with the weak
See these wars they're happening
And then you're aksing why
But just stop by some slaughterhouse
And hear the animals cry
You missed the point it's over your head
I guess you'd rather be negative instead
You can't account for these things you've done
I'll bet you think this MOI is fun
Take you down low
And show you some things
You've never seen
Riding that borderline
But there ain't no thing
Called in between
Kick you with some advice
And show you now
I can tell you that the murder's plain to see, every time I think about the unborn's misery, I know that every soul's got a right to live and so you take that life that only god could give. Oh, you know it's true, oh, your body your choice, now listen to your unborn babies voice. You know I'm never gonna see the light of day, not a single word ever will I say, when there's death in the womb life is lost and your life will someday be the cost. You see the prophecy's unfolding, they told us what this age would bring, I've taken shelter in your womb and it's become my resting tomb. I can tell you that the murder's plain to see, every time I think about the unborn's misery, I know that every soul's got a right to live and so you take that life that only god could give
The organized slaughter of the innocent
Can't you see this is a hellish state we're in
No sympathy in their hearts at all
At the death camps in our midst
Execution without a trial
Think about that for a while
The day they're doomed they're doomed to be killed
So your foul desires can be fulfilled
Execution without a trial
No regret for life at all
Meat hooked conveyor belts line the walls
Don't it remind you of Buchenwald
You don't even see the genocide
I can see you only care for your own hide
And because of the ignorance that clouds your mind
You've left your compassion so far behind
You don't even know what it involves
Because you never see the bloodshed on the walls
Conditioned since childhood kept you from the truth
They just go on lying and poisoning the youth
It's time to be intelligent and open your mind
Reach within yourself and see what you find
Do you really wanna be responsible
In these days of confusion much illusions try to getcha
Try to trick you Every single day
Much aggravation and frustration, devastation always heading my way
And I know why I'm sufferin', looking for satisfaction my mind keeps leading me astray
And I know and I see spiritually there's gotta be a better way
Can't get distracted from achieving the ultimate goal in this human life
No desire to play those games no desire to cause any others grief
I've seen the lies I changed my ways
And I just wanna make my stay here brief
No satisfaction just bad reactions on this dangerous path that I've traveled through, and I look back inside my mind and thank God for the things I still didn't do
I look around I see the shape we're in
And i know I gotta stop living in sin
I guess I must have lost my mind
For how else could I ever be so blind
I've felt the pain of defeat
I've thrown myself at your feet
I've turned my back on what I used to be
I'll follow you to eternity
Once again you made me strong
Now I know I can go on
You are the conquerer of my fears
Ignorant fools don't believe in the truth
They are doomed to live in illusion and fear
Cut loose the doubts that arise in your heart
The time of redemption is near
Now in these times of frustration and anger
We've come out of the darkness that kept us blind
With the torch and wisdom and the sword of knowledge
We'll leave the corruption behind
Gotta kill, gotta fight, gotta crush Demoniac
Gotta wipe out, gotta destroy, gotta crush Demoniac
Demoniac reigns in their hatred and anger
And all of the sin that they bring
In the lie that "true" happiness can be found
In the pursuit of material things
Polluting our minds and corrupting the masses
With pride false attachment and greed
We've seen through their lies and there's no compromise
We know that it's time we were freed
The Demoniac who are lost in themselves and have no intelligence
Engage in unbeneficial, horrible works meant to destroy the world
No we won't, no we won't, no we won't ever serve their demands
Cause we know, cause we know, cause we know the Lord and his plans
Gotta kill, gotta fight, gotta crush Demoniac
Gotta kill, gotta fight, gotta crush Demoniac
Gotta kill, gotta fight, gotta crush Demoniac
Fightin it's such a struggle and I got so far
Got so far to go
Don't want to except no answers
But I ain't got nothing
Got nothing to show
It's such a struggle but I gotta do it
By myself
Can't except no logic so I gotta do it
By myself
It's such a struggle but I gotta do it
By myself
Can't except no logic so I gotta do it
By myself
Such a lonely path but I can't turn my back
Can't turn my back right now
See I got a role to play
And I gotta fill it, gotta fill it somehow
I set myself on this path and now
Now it's just too late
It's such a struggle but I gotta do it
By myself
Can't except no logic so I gotta do it
By myself
It's such a struggle but I gotta do it
By myself
Can't except no logic so I gotta do it
By myself
I'd put it all aside but you see this madness
Just won't wait
Talk nice things but I see I'm really,
I'm really overflowing with hate I'm talkin,
I'm talkin but I never seem to motivate
The answers you say they're outta reach
But first you gotta learn and then only can you teach
You say I'm insecure but ain't you scared of death
A divided nation in these times of hate
So much racial tension say it's not too late
Won't you please god save us all
Won't you please god save us all
See the prophecies of things to come
Can the human race exist as one
Or the fire of disaster be the final doom
All in its path it will consume - fight back
Our happiness will turn to sorrow
Will we live to see tomorrow?
Put the power of evil back in line
Won't be crucified no not this time fuck no
Fight back for all
See where you stand know who you are
In your heart
In this iron age of hypocrisy
The war against the weak goes on continuously
Can't you smell the bodies burning
Taste of death in the air
Not for a cause but just for greed
Mad scientist experiment in torture and in pain
Murdering the helpless who's this meant to gain
Polluting creation the air the land and sea
Making this world a hell of toxic misery
For the benefit of man they interfere with nature's plan
Can you tell me what is going on
I look out my window and what do I see
Junkies, gangs and rape and poverty
Don't you see the signs things are out of hand
Don't you think it's time we gotta stop
This modern age so full of grief
I've turned away from it's belief
I watch society digress
And it just looks like one big mess
I can't believe the things I hear and see
In this world there's no remorse
Now's the time we must change our course
Those of us who've seen the way
Lie to all your friends
The trouble never ends
You're gonna take a fall
And I don't care at all
Stabbed me in the back
Somone I trusted
Let's get things straight
Don't tread on me
I thought things were cool
But I guess I was a fool
And now I know
All about you
Stabbed me in the back
Somone I trusted
Let's get things straight
Don't tread on me
You crossed me once,
Don't try it again
You didn't learn,
I'll show you again
What goes around,
Comes back around
Revenge, revenge is sweet
Got to find a solution
To the battle raging in my heart
Timelessness it seems
Has no place in the movement
That we all must know
Nothing seems too clear
Illusions seem so permanent
When you doubt or think you're in control
You have the key to free the knowledge
The knowledge that was with you all along
Set it free then you'll see
We've forgotten truth and what we're living for
Forgotten answers
You know it's not as simple as it seems
So now through great revelations
Wisdom that will wake us from our dreams
I feel the conflict that exists within me
It's something that I can't control
Many other souls have battled in these realms before me
Always been a struggle in my heart to be free
Looked so far
Where else could I go?
Had to come to the answers
There's no solution in those self-destructive ways
First you gotta free your mind to ever break away
I know sometimes it's hard to see what life is worth
But you got so much inside, and this is just a test
When I look back at yesterday
I don't think I could've changed my ways
But if there's one thing that can be undone
You know there might not be so many innocent victims
I ain't goin' out like that
No I ain't goin' out like that
You perpetrators better watch your back
Because you know I ain't goin' out like that
What ever happened to your dreams?
It's so much closer than it seems
What ever happened to your dreams?
You know the pride within your [?]
And I know you feel you live your life in hell
And I know the feeling 'cause I did as well
But the harder the battle is you know the sweeter is
the victory
And in the end only you can set you free
When I feel like there's no solution
That's when you gotta look within
but beware of the battles that are comin' your way
[?] so stay outta my way
No sympathy!
No sympathy!
No sympathy!
No you ain't gonna get none from me!
What ever happened to your dreams?
It's so much closer than it seems
What ever happened to your dreams?
You know, the pride within your [?]
[guitar solo]
No sympathy!
No sympathy!
No sympathy!
It's time to stop this mindless system,
System of death that destroys the earth,
We're not blind, I see the changes come,
Barren toxic wastelands when they're done.
Save her! Crystal clear waters become lakes of poison,
Lush green forests destroyed for one reason,
Dying generation that brings us down,
We got to make the mother fuckers step down,
We're gonna bring 'em down.
Revolution with a cause.
Save the air, trees, water and the animals,
Just for their greed they'll make the sacrifice,
World where we live so now we gotta fight.
[1985 demo]
Just wasting time trying to make something outta nothing.
I'm going through life, seems like I don't have a care,
But why can't I see, see that I'm going nowhere.
Well I just gotta gotta drain my situation,
But in fact I'm leaving heaven for devastation.
Trying to find a way out but I just can't seem to begin.
It's a losing battle that I know I can't win.
Now it's hitting me
Hitting me that times moving fast,
But I'm done looking around.
I know that it just won't last.
The time is done and death is near.
If you just look around you can see the fear.
There's a man who does not get when time runs out.
Was never quite sure what life was about.
See, I'm just holding on to things from the past already
gone,
But I'll never accept your point of view.
God has taken me for a life of crime
Misery and suffering and losing my mind
Trying to succeed but I was so very blind
There's no material pleasure that can satisfy time
Serving my sensed with no hesitation
Never even thinking of my situation
Been smashed so many times and it made it so clear
That I was only living in illusion and fear
It's time to advance towards a spiritual state
Instead of serving your senses falling victim to fate
The strength is there inside you, it's never too late
So don't be lead astray by illusion and hate
I'm telling you, you gotta believe in him
Nothing else can save you, open up your eyes, see the light
Hear the truth, nothing else could set you free
Be brave, be strong, you can't go wrong
Between birth and death we must find in ourselves, keepers of secrets stored on life's shelves, locked in our souls they key is always the past, don't hold on to things cause you know that they just never last, somewhere in time your eternal quest, your fear of dying will be the rifrst test, looking for meaning to find some purpose to life, answers to questions that tear at your heart like a knife, mysteries are but ephemeral reflections in time, oceans of wisdom run so deep and sublime. How far have we come, left so much behind, escaping your nature block it out of our mind, sold us a dream full of pain and despair, so lost in illusion we haven't a prayer. Cycles of change surely to come, as time destroys all, all that we've done. Dig in your souls reflect in your hearts, cause death is behind us to tear us apart, show you no mercy, no mercy at all, the valley of death it echoes its call
So much confusion in this life I've been living
It makes me wonder what I'm searching for
Reflections of my past present and future
Things that always seem to haunt my soul
Born and raised in the slums of the world
One side of life is all I've ever known
The hard core truth it's a struggle for life yeah
That's the only thing I've ever been shown
Gotta find the key to free my mind
Could it set me free?
Is it so hard to know
You can look but will you find
Oh my god
I just can't lose control
Deception of the blind
I try so hard to find the answers
But I know that it's in my heart
Now I know that I shall come to see the truth
As I drift into my dreams
Got to make the changes
Out of darkness into light
Cut these ropes that bind us
Hope the truth can free us from the pain
I try so hard
To find the answer
But I know that they're in my heart
We've got to make the changes
First we have to look within
We've got to make the changes
It's a place we must begin
The changes must start in my heart
