See what the world has made me
A bogus heart of gold.
Sweet talk is never real
Just evil lies I've told.
I see the mark of the victim
I see the mark of the trusting soul.
I take the face of the innocent
And rub it into the world.
Then I have to turn my back.
With nothing ever promised
I can't take all the blame.
I keep my spirit callous
And leeches far away.
I see the mark of the victim
I see the mark of the trusting soul.
I take the face of the innocent
And rub it into the world.
Then I have to turn my back.
Though I'm wrong and heartless now
I can find it in myself to live with it
Though I caused the pain you feel
I'm gonna have to turn my back
Though I'm wrong and heartless now
I can find it in myself to live with it
Though I caused the pain you feel
yes! it's right feel indignation
stand and be heard - uprising nation
seize control from the undeserving
let's make our move - uprising nation
all of the elite and the biggest money
use fear to make us strangers in our country
media is locked by the deepest pockets
these immoral plots have got to be. got to be. got to be
stopped
foolish thoughts of rapture in the government
shouldn't be supported or even entertained
foolish thoughts of rapture can only create
an imminent disaster that we all have to face
it's disappointing to see another war
like we didn't lear from all our mistakes before
it's disappointing - the gullible mob
this is not a land of revolution anymore
dead to tyrants. dead to tyrants. send them straight to hell
yes! it's right feel indignation
stand and be heard - uprising nation
seize control from the undeserving
let's make our move - uprising nation
yes it's right. yes it's right
all this frustration
stand and be heard - uprising nation
don't be blind. don't be blind
don't defend their selfish lies
rise up. rise up. uprising nation
rise up
All roads lead the same direction
we all see eye to eye
won't stand for a bad connection
we came to keep things tight
prove this, prove that
proving is nothing
let's all just be ourselves
focused with the right aggression
turn to each other for help
people merge on state of mind from all
different walks of life
don't need any more stupid division
don't need to feel uptight
Brother - I'll always look out for you
if I feel it back
Sister - we'll brave the outside world
off the beaten track
When it's us vs. them
you can always count on me When it's us vs. them
it's a global unity
Open the extended family
the family is growing fast
friendship will transcend the borders
the world is shrinking fast
Cities merge on state of mind
there's nothing wrong with that
don't need any more stupid division
don't fall for their trap
Brother - I'll always look out for you
if I feel it back
Sister - we'll brave the outside world
off the beaten track
When it's us vs. them
you can always count on me When it's us vs. them
Floating, but gasping for a breath
Paying through the nose for every bit of air
Strapped and bleak
Where's the feast in feast or famine
Strapped and bleak
Who stole the peak
From the valley
When's it coming next
When's the next respite
The next deep breath
Strapped and bleak
Where's the feast in feast or famine
Where'd it go
There's not a lot to go around
There's just the hope for next time
Yeah right
So here's the ration, make it last
Don't be surprised if it disappears fast
Too fast
It's the view from the surface
Not above and not below
It's great not to worry
It's great to fake it for another day
It's great not to worry
But that would mean breathing
Easy once again, again
Don't count on it again
Or on anything
Strapped and bleak
Where's the feast in feast or famine
Strapped and bleak
Who stole the peak
Where'd it go
Hard times, is what we're in
and it ain't getting any easier my friends
friends, search for the easy way out
and they don't care how it comes about
youth, they just wanna get paid
they don't wanna end up working like slaves
slavin', for nickels and dimes
so they turn to the quick money of crime
Morals are gone, no respect for human life
but what was it that you'd expect
take a look around at this world we live in
tell me you wouldn't grow up cold and callous
prejudice, is one of their tools
and we fell for it like a pack of fools
fools, is what we are
we follow their plans to the letter so far
each other, at the other's throat
they sit back, to them it's all a joke
joke, but now the joke is on them
they can't deal with this generation so violent
We stand accused of the crimes
the crimes that take place
they point the finger
but they're the ones that set the pace
they beat you down, to try to keep you in your place
they were the ones, they were the ones
Here it is, once again,
tales of betrayal by the ones we call our friends
took us long to get where we are
now we're told what we've done is wrong
We all started with something to say
was it our different views or jealousy in the way
now you're the ones setting the rules
just like the establishment you're so against
lay down your laws, say what you will
tell me i'm wrong and i'll defy you
Who are you to make up rules and put us down ?
with our friends, we'll stay to the end
and if it comes down to it, we'll stand alone
Here it is once again, tales of conformity
by the ones who would be king
we never set out to impress anyone
it's just an outlet, our chance to be heard
at first you said we hated to much
now you say we just can't hate enough
now you're screaming that we've changed
we've grown up but our beliefs are still the same
it's still an outlet for anger and strife
but one more thing, it's also our life
(We) we don't need any help (stand alone)
our beliefs are strong enough to (stand alone)
our desire's burning deep, in our hearts
it's in ourheads, it's in our souls
(we) we defy your fucking lies (stand alone)
you question our beliefs (stand alone)
our desire's burning deep, in our hearts
it's in our heads, it's in our souls (stand alone)
We stand alone
People from the past, they dont want to hear us
the ones they call our peers, they just fear us
ain't handin' no lies but reality comes off as cold
what you hear from me comes from deep down inside us
this just ain't a song of defiance, i'm just tellin' you how it goes
Abused used the way we felt
Dirt cheap the way you dealt
Talk talk nothing's said
Speeches promises don't mean a thing
Empty words from your mouth
Token actions gave you clout
Time's now to end your luck
No more talks cause we don't give a fuck
About your alibis, about your lies
and all your excuses
Think we can't handle it
Think we would cave in, why don't you try it
No more stories, no more double talk
and no more cover ups, we just want the truth!
Abused used the way we felt
Dirt cheap the way you dealt
Talk talk nothing's said
Speeches promises don't mean a thing
Empty words from your mouth
No one cares what it's about
In the past give us proof
No more talks, we just want the truth!
And what about the youth
Never told the truth
Never told what it's all about
It's all about the wealth
There's no one there to help
and everyone's looking out for themselves
Put our faith in you and our trust too
Have you no conscience
We know the story, it's money and glory
Don't care who you step on
No more speeches, no time for apologies
We heard it all before
All of your alibis, all about your lies
and all your excuses
Think we can't handle it
Think we would cave in, think we can't take it
No more stories, no more double talk
Does anybody realize what's goin' on
take a look around and you will see that we're destroying ourselves
does everybody out there have a chip on their shoulders
or is it that we've got nothing, nothing better to do
Beatings of five to one wasn't enough
now we're using everything from chains
to knives and guns
how much more of this do we have to take
before we realize it's such a senseless waste
Does anybody out there hear the cries
of mothers who have lost their children
to your foolish games
when are you gonna realize
that it's all just, just a senseless waste
You think that it's just a game
well, i've got one thing to explain
someday your luck will fail
No - I won't be silenced, I won't give in
No - to the pressure of what's hip
No - this simple lesson must be learned
No - won't candy coat it, must be heard
Burry your head, hoping it all goes away
living state of apathy
don't wanna know
don't wanna hear what goes on
can't ignore there's something wrong
No - don't have time for fantasies
No - can't escape reality
No - won't shut my eyes, won't look away
No - from the truth and the pain
Bury your head, hoping it all goes away
living state of apathy
don't wanna know
don't wanna hear what goes on
can't ignore there's something wrong
you close your eyes, try to deny
you look away to shut it all out
We'll defy - the candy coated lies
can't accept - pretending it's fine
can't survive - with blinders on our eyes
seek the truth - reach the sublime
we'll defy - the candy coated lies
can't accept - pretending it's fine
open up your eyes
it's too late
See what's goin' on and recognize it's too late
time is running out, it's running out
it's too late
take a stand and see what it's about
Back down once again, back down into the trench
Is that it to this life
Thoughts of another day, the thought of better days
Is what will keep us alive
Another day, another damn week
Just passing the time
Ignoring all the dullness at it's peak
As I watch the paint dry
How can we justify and say that we're alive
When we can barely survive
How long 'till we see that our humanity
Is slowly rotting away
Waiting, waiting, waiting, burning my time
As it sucks dry my life
Waiting for the break that never fucking comes
The fruitless hope, still alive
Sometimes I don't want to know,
I don't want to know myself
Sometimes I don't want to love
cause I don't feel it for myself
How can I improve on something I don't know,
So come closer
Come closer, come closer, come closer
so I can drive you away
I'll manipulate the stupid game
with my own confusion
and I'll be bending all the fuckin' rules
with my own self doubt
and if I seem uncomfortable
do I seem uncomfortable
it's cause I am
My own mind
my peace is hard to find
secrecy in my mind
mysteries countless as the world outside
So come closer
It's Clobberin' Time (!)
I take shits
I take shits

Find a fault
Cut it down
Criticize everything.
What may be
Wrongly seen
As a show of strength may be a
Cry for help.
Cold and calm
Out of reach
Distant eyes, secret life.
What may be wrongly seen
As a show of strength is just unexitable
Far too fucking cool.
Unexitable
Feigning control with detachment.
Cry for help
Don't turn away it's a cry for help
Don't turn away it's a cry for help
Pride doesn't heal the pain that's felt.
Standing on the top of the world
Standing on the top of the world
Standing on the top of the world
Standing on the top it's a long way down.
It's too easy to feel conceit
Its too easy to feel elite
The propaganda that you're fed.
Don't think you can count on it
When you judge yourself.
Supremacy means there's no conscience here
Supremacy means there's no compassion here.
Tradition rules
Despite the rotten truth.
Despite the atrophy
Despite the waste and greed.
It's too easy to feel conceit
Its too easy to feel elite
The propaganda that you're fed.
Don't think you can count on it
When you judge yourself.
It's a risky thought reinforced from youth.
Everything's a resource that's fit for abuse.
Tradition rules in the hearts of stubborn fools
Tradition rules no matter how cruel.
It's just their arrogance
Arrogance that fuels their cruelty.
Arrogance
Arrogance that fuels their cruelty.
Arrogance is stupidity
When its surrounded in our frailty
Arrogance is stupidity
When its surrounded in our frailty
No use ignoring me, I represent the darkest thing you feel.
No use avoiding me, I'm woven in the fabric of your being.
Don't back away from me, I feed on apprehension and fear.
Don't back away from me, don't blind yourself to what you really should be seeing.
A part of you that will consume if given the chance to,
A part of you that will abuse whenever allowed to.
A part of you that will consume if given the chance to,
A part of you that wants to see you loose it all.
C'mon, see what you get.
C'mon, when will you
Come to terms with what's inside,
Come to terms with what you try to hide.
Emotion overload, might really mean the end of the road.
Emotion overload, might mean the end of everything you know.
Emotional check, just might reveal emotional wreck.
Purge the district
Scrub it hard
Time to clean up our own backyard.
People standing in the way
Are on the list of people getting paid.
Not just the common thug
Also those up above
Making laws and deciding how the districts run into the ground.
Now the choice is up to us
Between the crooked and corrupt.
Whose made fewer bloody deals
Chose the lesser of two evils.
Soul turns to evil quick
Without love or discipline.
Poison for the destitute
Is also in the silver spoon.
The rain is coming down
But the drugs are dollar signs.
Pads the pockets of the bent
And we cant pay the rent.
Someday a real rain is gonna come
Someday a real rain is gonna come
Someday a real rain is gonna come
Someday a real rain is gonna come
And clean up the mess.
Locked up
Feeling the common dread
Locked up in our homes and in our heads
Intimidation keeps us prisoners at home
A force that's never felt anything stand up against it.
The sky will open up this time.
We wont overlook a thing.
Criminal, Criminal, Criminal.
We wont overlook a thing.
Criminal, Criminal, Criminal.
And we'll wake up with our spirit
Purified, Purified, Purified
Purified, Purified, Purified.
Someday a real rain is gonna come
Someday a real rain is gonna come
Someday a real rain is gonna come
Someday a real rain is gonna come
And clean up the mess.
Free of the common dread
In our homes and in our heads.
Free of the crooked ways
What's the point of going on
Overlooked for the overrated
But we wont hear that talk
Frustration, frustration is all we get
You might think we're finished
We haven't started yet.
Because there's more far more to know
Because our voices must say more
Because these words come from the soul.
This is not a mission
This is not a fucking game.
A burning desire from deep inside
The will, the drive, to keep pushing on.
No matter what may come
No matter what may come.
Hollow trends
Shallow lives
They drag you down.
They try to drag you down
They'll drag you down.
For every hurdle cleared, two takes it's place.
For every level reached, they raise the stakes.
What is our inspiration, what is our drive
To chose our destiny and be in control of our lives.
This is not an image, This is our lives.
This is our inspiration, this is our lives
This is not an image, This is our lives.
so rotten on the inside
in heart and soul and mind
so rotten on the inside
guaranteed to die alone
die alone - keep the money. keep it all
die alone - a worthless pile of bones
so rotten on the inside
where all the truth hides
the lie that's on the outside
is worn like a disguise
die alone - keep the money. keep it all
die alone - a worthless pile of bones
so rotten on the inside - guaranteed to die alone
so rotten on the inside - guaranteed to die alone
there is no room left for things that we possess
there is no room to take it with you
the only thing left. emotion we possess
the feelings that would love or hate you
die alone - die die
there is no room to take it with you
die alone - die die
no one will care and none will mourn you
die alone - die die
you have no room to take it with you
die alone - die die
no one will mourn. they want to see you gone
they want to see you gone
die alone
Crime, crime against the soul
it does more damage than anyone
can know as the voctims suffer,
the secrets that they hold will eat away inside them 'till they finally explode.
Desperate fool - unforgivable - We're gonna do away with you
Desperate fool - unforgivable - Your kind won't stand a chance you call yourself a man?
Let's leave your fate up to those who've been raped.
You impose yourself a lot no means no,
you don't know when to stop it's body,
it's soul it's all humanity that's what's violated can't you see you're really hated
Step up the plate you challenge fate you've earned a castration
you're always screaming about unity
being open minded and honesty
what you might say will some people believe
but i really doubt your sincerity
if we really want this deal to work out
we all got to rise above
we've got to stop these pretty arguments
don't you think it's time to cut the shit out
you're always screaming about unity
being open minded and honesty
if we really want it, we all got to try
stop talkin' behind each other's backs
and spreading a bunch of lies
i ain't saying i got a master plan
or telling you to go out and hold each other's hands
just saying that we're tired of hearing your shit
please don't be the sensitive one
cause negative thruts are too damn funny
don't frak out the words from my mouth
are against everybody no one is singled out
nobody's protected - nobody's safe
what stereotype ist that
how can you help but laugh
who's feelings are hurt again
this one with the thin skin
who should learn to laugh at himself
at himself
evil for yuks is never malicious
just some bunk to raise the spirits
every group and orientation
is fair game for me to rip on
thin skin - stay away
nobody is safe
what stereotype ist that
how can you help but laugh
who's feelings are hurt again
this one with the thin skin
who should learn to laugh at himself
and everybody else
evil for yuks
thin skin - you suck
evil for yuks
thin skin - you suck
Living in a time when no one cares or gives a shit,
the world now cold and hard
Senseless killing, no apparent reason
Suffer the greed of what the others got
Anger and hatred, the tension's always there
There is no relief in sight for this world full of hate
Nobody cries as the innnocent die and the guilty go free in this world - full of hate
Struggle and strive just to live out our lives as we try to survive in this world - full of hate
Nobody cries as the innnocent die and the guilty go free in this world - full of hate
Struggle and strive just to live out our lives as we try to survive in this world - full of hate
Stand with me, disregard is all I see
Keep to yourself shelteredfor no one else
I've got no respect for a world that can't take care of it's own
Living in a time when no one cares
Or gives a shit, the world now cold and hard
Senseless killing, no appearant reason
Suffer the greed of what the others got
Anger and hatred, the tensions always there
There's no relief in sight for this world full of hate
Nobody cries as the innnocent die and the guilty go free in this world - full of hate
Struggle and strive just to live out our lives as we try to survive in this world - full of hate
Nobody cries as the innnocent die and the guilty go free in this world - full of hate
There comes a time in our lives
to ask the question will we survive
reach for a future within our grasp tryin' not to lose hold of our past
all these decisions comin' on
got to keep perspective of what's right and what's wrong
bonds that were made, in the past
hope they survive, hope they will last
'cause it's your voices that make us strong
for that reason alone we must go on, we must go on
So when the time comes in our lives
to ask the question, will we survive
with all the shit that we've been through
there's only one answer that would be true
we found an outlet we can trust
without this release i know we would bust
Took alot of shit in our lives, made it thru time after time
i know we will survive
we, we will survive
Fly by night scenester, Fly by night hipster
One more newjack wants to set the rules
Fly by night scenester, Fly by night hipster
Never suffered, never paid the dues living contradiction,
live a lie oh so fashionable what a goddamn pitiful sight it must
be a great thing knowing it all spreading nausea with a brazen show of gall
Who sets the rules
The snobby fools
Who sets the rules
The facist who wants to rule
Living independent what a joke those caught dipping in a trust fund won't go
broke all this rhetoric is so hard to bear when the fool assumes a high and mighty air
People come and go, only some can really know who is laughable
who should be on a pedestal.
Trendy we'll see in the future what'll be, who is obsolete
I'm itching and scratching,
the body it's sickness,
I'll tell you the difference you're misogynistic,
you're making me sick,
with all of your shit,
wasting my time, you're such a prick
Beat up the town with your stupid fists,
I got more brain in my thumbs than you got in yer head.
Went to the show just to punch out a girl,
maybe pick on a black cause your a racist ass,
sing along to your unity song,
but your just the type that denies that your wrong,
infecting the scene like a fucking snake bite,
walk away from your team cause you're not worth the fight,
reppin you're punk my opinion you stunk
you're just a jock and it ain't a shock
Now we're sick of it all, CE ended this fall,
there's no fun anymore kids knocked on the floor,
I'm so sick of this you're a worthless piece of shit,
No we don't want more
I'm itching and scratching,
the body it's sickness,
I'll tell you the difference you're misogynistic,
you're making me sick,
with all of your shit,
wasting my time, you're such a prick
rolling in your Escalade,
destroying what we got,
if we get knocked down,
then ya get the fuck up,
and thats how ya rise to the top,
every single day we got something to prove,
but most of us are walking around with nothing to lose.
Desensitize your body and mind,
beat on a kid till he's bloody and cries,
makes you feel like a man,
I watch as innocence is slaughtered
can't stop the ringing in my head
you can't see what i see, you can't feel what i feel
Guilty - the time will surely come
guilty - when i pay a heavy price - guilty
I search for love but find opression
can't stop the ringing in my head
you can't see what i see, you can't feel what i feel
just when i've fought out of the corner
I find my back against the wall
my rules are far too hard to live by, they beat me down from inside
Guilty - my standards are pathetic
Hands tied, eyes closed.
So many things I've had to say
So many chances have escaped.
Facing life with blinders on
A slave to my own inhibitions.
And at times there's peace
Moments of release
From the terror that petrifies life.
But it never lasts
The sky's are overcast.
The bravado is washed away.
Hands tied, eyes closed.
The things I've had to say
Chances I've let escape
Watch them slip away, watch them die out.
Always there
Hidden fear
Of self doubt
Cant break out.
I wont let it win
I cant let it win.
I wont let it win
I cant let it win.
Close my eyes and hope
Hope it goes away
Hope I'm safe inside for another day.
Close my eyes and hope
Hope it goes away
Hope I'm safe inside for another day.
Cities of money, dried up, no longer running
palace corroded, condemned like all the
people that were captive in the trouble that
doubled the self destructive jungle
never had the chance to rise above and
see what's on the other side
what's the use to put trust in another man
what's the use to put trust in another's hand
when the trust has been erased
and the gate just slams right in your fuckin' face
Life's games - hard to play
what's given, is often just taken away
burned out of the game
we let all our evil just guide the way
Misdirected energy intimidates authority as planned
Working for solutions
and whoever's not part of it
is part of the problem
Fat cats and police
the wolves tear at the sheep
colors are shown
loyalty blown
the wolves tear at their brothers and sisters
and slaughter upon slaughter will act as fertilizer
it feeds the weeds
a symbol of resilience to tyranny
from the day that you're born
they try to teach you right from wrong
put these ideas in your head
try to teach you good from bad
then they send you of to school
fill your head full of rules
it's all just lies what they said
just some shit to fill your head
they tell you to tell the truth
that's a lie in itself
it's all just lies what they said
just some shit to fill your head
don't ever ask them why
Freedom - A right I thought we had
One that no one could take away
But there are those who will try
To rule the lives that you and I choose to lead
We must fight - Injustice system
Have no rights - Injustice system
We must fight - Injustice system
Have no rights - Injustice system
There are those who change the laws
For gain and furthering their needs
A small group possesse the power
A minority dictating what's good for the majority
Money has the real influence
Without it what we say don't make a difference
I won't tell you to give in
But to me there's got to be a better way to fight for our rights
And to have our say
To choose for ourselves
And not be led around blindly on a short leash
We must fight - Injustice system
Have no rights - Injustice system
We must fight - Injustice system
Have no rights - Injustice system
Freedom - A right I'll always have
One that no one can take away
No matter what it is they try
Resentful, I'm sure the feeling is mutual.
Power for those with the most capital.
Upper echelon not in touch at all.
Grabbing at straws, desperation.
Whatcha' gonna do about it?
Where are you gonna run?
Whatcha' gonna do about it
that you haven't already done?
No more joy in the lives of the skuoned and exited
Screaming from silence,
pent up inside us. All this frustration,
has bred all this violence.
In the commotion power was at hand,
in the confusion wealth was up for grabs,
both looked appealing we took all that we could,
control was ours and then we understood.
Helpless, I'm sure the feeling is typical.
Glory for those with the most capital.
Upper echelon we rule with an iron hand.
Crushing any insurrection.
Whatcha' gonna do about it
I believe that joy defines success
I'm aware of what causes my happiness
I believe the distance of my reach is far beyond what
I ever dreamed
What I dreamed shaped my creed
All I need is self-belief
It's all you ever really need
I believe their world is misery
I'm aware they speak the language of despair
I believe in seeing through the fear
The fear of the future that's breeding mediocrity
What I dreamed shaped my creed
All I need is self-belief
It's all you ever really need
The opposition fuels the fire
And only strengthens my desire
To break away from what's expected
And throw it in their face
The opposition makes me dream
Of how much better I can be
To outshine their drab existence
And throw it in their face
Locked out, and alienated
lost, soul, is feared and hated
judged, scared, not comprehended
waste, time, no more
Everyone's reponsible to take precaution - be aware
research is our best defense
if we ignore it we'll just fool ourselves
Your, lies, and misconception
won't, help, in their affliction
learn, know, what's fact or fiction
waste, time, no more
There's no more time for talk, we've got to see
the reality that surrounds us every day
we can't ignore all the victims of the plague
who've been fighting for a future
that's looking pretty, pretty vague
we can't deny it, we can deny it
it just ain't right if we turn a blind eye
the truth will upset all of those
who will let this apathy run their live, 'cause :
Silence equals death
silence equals death
Don't be a prick in the roses
No one's impressed with your lack of respect.
We're all black sheep and we know it
So don't fuck it up for the rest.
So good, so far, it's been alright
Could we be more blessed?
It's sad to see aggression
So misguided, so misplaced
Hands up, throw down and blood will spill.
We're only human here.
It's worth a thought
Not to be a slave to human fault
Don't be a prick in the roses
No one's impressed with your lack of respect.
We're all black sheep and we know it
So don't fuck it up for the rest.
We swear we're here just for the fun
And to release the angst.
From this we feel we deal
Don't deprive us of that right.
Stand up to those who think they're king.
Let them know they're wrong.
Stand up for things that'll keep this action going strong.
Don't make a name for yourself
By stressing out everyone else
And don't bring your personal war
Through these doors.
Don't make a name for yourself
By stressing out everyone else
And don't bring your personal war
Through these doors.
Don't be a prick in the roses
No one's impressed with your lack of respect.
We're all black sheep and we know it
So don't fuck it up for the rest.
Don't be a prick in the roses
No one's impressed with your lack of respect.
We're all black sheep and we know it
So don't fuck it up.
Don't think of the could've beens
Don't think of what should've been
Weed out your weaknesses
piled up issue makes a mess
Don't think you had a chance
don't dwell on lost romance
Nothing is guaranteed
or caters to stupidity
They say life is what you make it
can't go back and try to change it
learn to live with your regrets
Choose a path choose it right
it's all there in black and white
disassociate joy and wealth
just don't even kid yourself
They say life is what you make it
can't go back and try to change it
choises that were made
opportunities
push away the pain and move on
with no delay
move on accept the shame
learn to live with your regrets
move on with no delay
move on accept the shame
Where'd go, how'd pass, when did we lose it
that was us, yesterday, runnin' 'round care free
never thought it would end, never thought about time
now we stand, stand alone, not by choise, by fate
In my mind i can see visions of what used to be
all the fun, the suffering, was it just for memories
as i reach out for my past, it disappears
the pain will last
anger builds, i'm holding on
it slips away / and / now / it's / gone
Tighter than family, nothing could get in
all but time, wore away, things went by too fast
ideals change, people change, friends are gone
moved on
If you want to save me leave me alone
with your sick polluted soul
if you want to save me leave me alone
the future's mine
It's such a waste of precious time, precious years
precious feelings that are misdirected
and should be disconnected
It's such a shame to learn a lesson
after giving of yourself in all so many ways
to find it didn't pay
If you want to save me leave me alone
with your sick polluted soul
if you want to save me leave me alone - now
Don't want to compromise myself
low self image hasn't got the best of confidence
at least not yet it hasn't
Only the least affected can be the most respected
just to escape is worth the temporary pain and hurt
If you want to save me leave me alone
with your sick polluted soul
if you want to save me leave me alone
i've had enough this time
the future is mine
my friends objectively
Listen, we won't give up on our freedom
Even as we're beaten to submission
Even as they want achievements on their terms
Rulings to be followed to the letter
What a joke, it's to chaotic
There's no control
It's so chaotic
We reject their law
They've paid for these things before
And still nothing's different
They've paid for these things before
And still nothing's different
Pity we don't qualify as equal
Pity we're not worthy of the same rights
Even as humiliation keeps us down
Honor makes us want a better life
What a joke, it's so chaotic
There's no control
It's so chaotic
We reject their law
They've paid for these things before
And still nothing's different
They've paid for these things before
Nothing's different, not at all
We're desperate and lost, helpless
And they want respect from us, helpless
As we're kept in check, helpless
We're kept in a living death, helpless
The question they keep asking me
how can one so young be so bitter and angry
well, the answer is plain to see
maybe if they wern't so blind they'd see what i see
i see the homeless livin' out on the street
on every corner they're asking for money
i try to help them whenever i can
but sometimes i can't afford to help myself
i see diseases and modern plagues of our times
the greed of our leaders has made them blind
to our problems
they spend millions overseas,
people right here are fightin' wars everyday
I see the whites that hate the blacks
blacks against the jews, race against religion
and the're all too blind to see
When we fight each other it puts all of them at ease
it keeps us so busy, so they can do what they please
election time comes and they're out for votes
that's when you see and hear from them the most
this is what they're calling a democracy
that's just another word for hypocrisy
we keep fallin' for the bait
when we realize, it's always too late
I see the whites that hate the blacks
blacks that hate the jews, brother against brother
and they're all to blind to see
As the rich get richer, the poor goin' hungry
i've seen the toll it takes on the workingman's family
education system that's obsolete
can't hold a kid's interest or keep 'em off the street
see a father's fear, hear a mother's cry
what kind of a nation lets their children die
government's corrupt and full of red tape
then you're gonna ask me why i hate
Why don't you open up your eyes so you can see
open up your ears so you can hear
take a look around and you will find
left. right. left
gonna march right out and leave this place
left. right. left
gonna punch right through what gets in the way
left. right. left
gonna do whatever we have to do
left. right. left
gonna march right out into the free world
desperate. and cornered like a rat
things are getting ugly really fast
their intentions are the worst
let's brace ourselves and hit them where it hurts
freedom is right there in our sights
conscience. we have to put aside
their intentions are the worst
we won't stop until we break through
left. right. left
gonna march right out and leave this place
left. right. left
gonna punch right through what gets in the way
left. right. left
gonna do whatever we have to do
left. right. left
gonna march right out into the free world
and we won't stop 'till we break through
we're given no choice
so let the chips fall where they may
and let these matters be settled this way
we'll let our judgement get carried away
carried so far to a terrible place
a place that wrecks and shatters our dreams
and changes life as we know it
into the life we have to live
left. right. left
gonna march right out and leave this place
left. right. left
gonna punch right through what gets in the way
left. right. left
gonna do whatever we have to do
left. right. left
gonna march right out into the free world
and we won't stop 'till we break through
bent on hatred - silence the forked tongue
it won't change us - we're proud to be infidels
you have no room to judge - malevolent spirit
when your world is dripping with blood
a stranger to love
bent on hatred - silence the forked tongue
it won't change us - we're proud to be infidels
when death means more than life - ignorant martyr
then fantasy has taken the place of a righteous change
righteous change
what does it take to reason with insanity
what does it take to pacify the savagery
the forked tongue. spitting all it's venom at me
what does it take to wipe away the misery
what does it take. what does it take
the dark ages are upon us again
what does it take. what does it take
the forked tongue must be silenced
give us freedom from the demons
demons
Right now, I don't care how shame feels
Don't care how pain feels inside
Right now, don't care what I hear
Don't care what I fear inside
So now I'm going it alone
It feels like me against the world
I can't allow for an ounce of inability
I may be tetched, but for now I'm going all out
Right now, I don't care how shame feels
Don't care how pain feels inside
Right now, don't care what I hear
Don't care what I fear inside
I can't make room for comfort
I can't make room for myself
I'll keep my cool, defiantly
My strategy is not too sound
But I'm going all out
If there's a barrier up
I'm pushing through it
A door slammed in my face
I'm kicking through it
I will silence the doubts
Even if it fucks me up right now
I'm tetched, but I'm going all out
I'm pushing my limits
Right now, I don't care how shame feels
Don't care how pain feels inside
Right now, don't care what I hear
Don't care what I fear inside
Right now, I don't care how shame feels
Don't care how pain feels inside
Right now, don't care what I hear
Don't care what I fear inside
Right now, I don't care how shame feels
Don't care how pain feels inside
Right now, don't care what I hear
Don't care what I fear inside
It doesn't matter
It doesn't matter to me
Before us is an empty slate
we can impress how we please
Bombard them with the usual schlock
whatever we've got up our sleeve
Teach them that violence can solve all their problems
Teach them to act on a whim
The horror the one we present is just where the horror begins...
Violent fantasy, comes reality the effect will be quite a tragedy
We'll point the finger
we'll point the finger
we'll point the finger
we'll point the finger
of blame, Before us is a twisted world
no one can work out the knots we've got
an enemy here they could be blamed for a lot
We'll say they're the problem,
we'll say they're the cause
they'll be the scapegoat now - goatless - we'd be on the spot
we can't let the truth come out If
the pressure cracks another
Grain whiskey on my breath
baby left ain't feeling my best
slap of pork, can of greeze
could've been a worthy champeen
wheezy let it bleed wheezy let it bleed
wheezy let it bleed greazy wheezy
grain whiskey soaks my brain
shickhaus baby ease the pain
roll of nickles on the back of my neck
Thinking back on what we had
want to give in, want to give up
despair washes over you
where do you go, what will you do
your mind is racing in a million directions all at once
where will you turn
you're not in this all alone
just look around, and you'll see
the answers right before your eyes
I'm here for you, and you for me
It's hard to open up, just try and you'll see
True friends will always be there
Thinking back on what we had
all those times we shared
all those times good and bad
our growing friendship has formed a bond
Never ending
You were there through it all, now it's my turn
there's no doubt, good lookin' out
when life's not fair
call me a friend but you stab me in the back
you pretend we get along it's all just an act
you always use people to get what you need
you take advantage of others to satisfy your greed
we don't need you, you fuckin' scum
hope that friends like you will never come
when things turn bad for you don't count on me
cause i'll turn my back on you as you did to me
We've taken to much for granted
the basis that some are denied
some choose to ignore this right while others would give up their lives.
For the chance to voice their opinions through all of the torture and crime
lies and deception won't change the direction of will in it's fight to survive
Freedom, not free, freedom
Even when kept in restraint the spirit continues to thrive
lies and deception won't change the direction of will
in it's fight to survive
Figures of oppression breathing down our necks
Free spirit continues to thrive
Free spirit in the face of denial this oppression,
give respect, get it back, my solid promise
to this private pact, to this honored oath
i pledged never to let them push you over the edge
straight edge or not don't matter to me
you can be what you want to be
in your actions give me proof
what's inside, the real truth
pure is what you are when you're born
be positive of what you're gonna be
hard is the life that you're thrown into
stick it out like my brothers and me
extend your hand, call your friend
i'll stand with you to the end
forget mistakes of the past
if you're friendship's true it will last
straight edge or not don't matter to me
you can be what you want to be
in your actions give me proof
{INSTRUMENTAL}
I'm sick of it all...
I'm sick of it all...
I'm sick of it all...
I'm sick of it all...
In every paper I read,
States who's sleeping around,
It don't mean nothing to me,
I think it's bringing me down...
Shut up, shut up,
Yeah, it's impossible,
Shut up, shut up,
I'm sick of it all,
Shut up, shut up,
Gonna get a fireball and let it rip,
Gonna take out everything I hate,
It makes me sick, I feel like nothing's real...
Everything on TV,
Cult of celebrity,
Making monkies a star,
It don't mean nothing to me,
Shut up, shut up,
Yeah, it's impossible,
Shut up, shut up,
I'm sick of it all,
Shut up, shut up,
Gonna get a fireball and let it rip,
Gonna take out everything I hate,
It makes me sick, I feel like nothings real...
Are you talking to me,
What are you trying to say?
You know I don't give a damn,
You know you make me this way...
Shut up, shut up,
Yeah, it's impossible,
Shut up, shut up,
I'm sick of it all,
Shut up, shut up,
Gonna get a fireball and let it rip,
Gonna take out everything I hate,

I'm sick of it all...
I'm sick of it all...
I'm sick of it all...
Go to work, go to school
Get an education, so you won_t be a fool
Be a doctor, PHD, all that shit, that's not for me
All my life people tell what to say
This is my life live it my own way
Was so blind could not see
figures of authortity, always standing behind me,
ready to come down on me
All my life people tell what to say
Stand still - nobody move
Don't look around, you'll ruin the mood
Progress, a dirty word
Same old shit, safe and secure
(Shut out, shut down)
Shut out, shut down don't wanna hear it
(Shut out, shut down)
Please don't take it away
Stubborn, set in my ways
A limited life don't want to change
Slow down it's not time to go
Don't want to leave my little world
What makes us afraid of progress that is made
To really understand you've got to free your mind
Can't let us get stuck in a generic rut
With a narrow view you've got to free your mind
Consistency can be such a wonderful thing
As long as you are open and you free your mind
Don't you jump in it's not your fight
your ideas mean shit to me you ain't on my side
it's my revenge
it's my revenge
my last resort, my broken pact
i have a reason and a cause to fight back
it's my revenge
it's my revenge
i won't stand for it anymore
you know my time has come
gonna see some changes
won't stop till i've won
We're the Nails
Unlike all the rest
That stick up from the ground
And they'll never hammer us down
We're the nails
Driven into the cross
Driven in as reminders
That their self-destructive system can only
Violate the world.
Violate the world.
Violate the world.
Their self destructive system can only
Violate the world.
Violate the world.
Violate the world.
No one can see you, no one can see
no one can sense humility
no one can hear you, no one can hear
inadequacy's in the air
The greatest fear for you to be
exposed for all the world to see
Never-measure-never-measure-never-measure
never-measure-up
I know they see me, i know they see
i know they sense humility
i know they hear me, i know they hear
Personality, suffer and enjoy it
civility, most annoying habit
isn't what I want, can't be what I want
eating at me, it's eating at me
Patience is a thorn in my side
another thorn in my side
feelings bottled up inside
ready to suffer the considiration
Another test, I grit my teeth and stand it
try to ignore the most annoying habits
isn't who I am, can't be who I am
feel my decay, I feel my decay
Patience is a thorn in my side
another thorn in my side
feelings bottled up inside
ready to suffer the consideration
Nice, nice
patience is a fuckin' thorn in my side
Nice, nice
tolerance will stab at me
but it's nice
worn down, jerked around
patience wears thin, painful stabbing
Respect is earned through dedication
Work in progress never stops.
Insult me with your hatred
And I say what have you got
Nothing, Nothing where it counts.
It's a weak mans notion that I owe you.
Open doors not enough
Now you want to be carried through.
No regrets
Don't blame me for your failures
I've had more than I can count
In reality its not about me
Just take a look inside yourself
Nothing, Nothing, Nothings sacred.
Don't tell me that I owe you.
Open palms and empty lies
Are what we've seen from you.
No regrets we'll Never ever lay down
No apologies
Don't wanna hear the lies
No apologies.
We've got a right to be
Cant let em take you out
We're not about to give up our convictions.
No apologies.
The powers in your hands
No cure, no end in sight.
No cure for poisoned minds.
No change, no change, after all this talk still living foul.
Ignorant, Ignorant, you think we would've learned by now.
Over and over same mistakes as before.
No end, no end, look around no end in sight.
When the damage done is to extensive.
Everyone ignores consequences.
Hatred, hatred, the only thing we give ourselves.
Heartless, heartless, no regard for anyone else.
Sickening, sickening, the way that greed rules our lives.
No cure, no cure, for the disease called mankind.
Look deep inside - for the cure to what ails mankind.
Look deep inside - we've got to live a more righteous life.
Look deep inside - can't change the world.
from the day that you're born
they try to teach you right from wrong
put these ideas in your head
try to teach you good from bad
then they send you of to school
fill your head full of rules
it's all just lies what they said
just some shit to fill your head
they tell you to tell the truth
that's a lie in itself
it's all just lies what they said
just some shit to fill your head
don't ever ask them why
cause what they say it's all just lies
Hidden like the squalor that we create
Martin wants out of this
but poverty keeps him in this place
Sratching like the vermin between the walls
Martin needs a friend but the people the he meets
just give him shit and pretend, they're no good
he's not blind, all he needs is a single ray of light
Life's too short but seems too long
when lonliness becomes the norm
life's too short but seems too long
and it may come as no surprise
but the lonliness in martin's eyes
was good enough
and life itself was long enough
Knowing full well, knowing what's going on
knowing for far too long, jealous
he's so jealous of all the fun
Martin needs a friend
but the pricks that he meets
just give him shit and pretend
Long enough, life itself was long enough
Morraly confused 'cause i'm faced with the scum
the scum that keeps my emotions numb
fight with the images, i fight with my thoughts
suppress all the violence & keep backing off
Am i still good if i want to see it
am i still sane if i want to feel it
The love in my heart ain't the answer to it
blood on my hands and morraly confused
I feel the pain that i inflict
there's a lot of baggage that keeps building up
baggage that's always annoying as fuck
annoying reminders of how it is
frustrating shit that'll never change
I can't be bothered with problem solvers
all sound alike, they're all pantomime
I can't be bothered with problem solvers
leave me to stew here alone in my fuckin juice
I don't know, i don't know what's right
Murder murder a ripe blood stain
Pulled the fucking trigger cause Im sick of it all
Murder murder a ripe fucking hate
Pulled the fucking trigger cause Im sick of it all
I went to school today with an oozi
Theres this kid he teased me so i shot em in the face
All the worlds light wont ease my pain
It wont cease im diseased will you hang me please
What do i do im american youth
All my life ive lived in silence
Im gonna snap ill get you back
Im a girl im only 13 my body rots
Cause i wont fucking eat
Im a silent star on a b-roll
Im a mirror fucking image of no control
Give me the award i conquered food again
What else is better in life than to purge my pain
If i cut, i wont look like that
If i cut if i cut i wont feel like this
We are kids we think life is a scam
We come from wasted land
We are kids we play punk rock and roll
If we didnt we got no soul
We are different kids with the same heartbeat
We got one pulse running through the streets
They are our arteries
I am part of this
maria white trash
woke us up in the middle of the night
maria white trash
came from Clovis to safe a life
maria white trash

and still he's breathing. and still he speaks
he's walks among us
the devil dog from flushing. queens
and still he's lurking. and still he creeps
he's still around
the devil man from NYC
the alleyway - fantasy's raging
the alleyway - his fantasy's deep
the alleyway - he walks among us
the devil dog from flushing. queens
the alleyway - fantasy's raging
the alleyway - his fantasy's deep
the alleyway - inked up like crazy
the devil man from NYC
Nothing satisfies, nothing will cause it won't get a chance to.
Altered spirit and altered mind take a turn for the worst soon.
Fear has struck, fear is stuck maladjusted
Assurance won't sit well at all cause no one is trusted
You've got what you wanted
the reason you came
control action control of the game
See through the happiness,
see through the sappiness
Seen through the front that obscures all the truth
and see ugliness, torture, torture and ugliness
Selfishness lost in a quagmire of human filth
Fear has struck, fear is stuck Maladjusted
Open your eyes and you will see
You've got a life, look at me
Can't they do what they say
Live your live in your own way
No labels, no lies
No fronts to hide behind
No labels, no lies
No bullshit to hide behind
..................
..................
..................
..................
No labels, no lies
No fronts to hide behind
No labels, no lies
No bullshit to hide behind
Open your eyes and you will see
You've got a life, look at me
Can't they do what they say
Live your live in your own way
why are you still sleeping through these terrible times?
disempowered slumber through the terrible crimes
when the time comes the highest up will fall down hard
the fall of the empire - the one who tried to lock us down
the rich will just get richer at our expense
let our lives of sweat and toil be recompensed
when the time comes the highest up will fall down hard
the fall of the empire - the one who tried to
bust
i return every hundred years. every hundred years
when the people awaken
i return every hundred years. every hundred years
when the people wake and see my machete raised up proudly
machete - my machete
machete - my machete
untouchables. now untouchable. will beg for kindness
no longer above the law. we're no longer under their spell
Trapped in a rut and i can't get out
don't see a way to be free
working at it everyday nothing that i do
or say can break my poverty
my desperate eyes will close tonight
and i hope i won't feel a thing
cause i know tomorrow i'll continue
with my sorrow
and my desperate eyes will sting
I don't understand, is it some kind of plan
to keep us in our places
no matter how we try, no matter how we strive
we just can't seem to get ahead
Same old stuff all over again
but necessity keeps me here
every week that passes
i'm gettin' weaker, faster
i'm living in constant fear
suffering is at an all time high
and they tell me i'm a lucky man
if lucky is to suffer, then i wish it on another
and i really don't give a damn
Day in day out, feeling the grind
someway, somehow, gonna leave it behind day in day out, feeling the grind
someway, somehow, gonna leave it behind
day in day out, feeling the grind
Another time another place
I might have had a smile on my face
this could have been such a beautiful thing
but now it's just a fucking waste of time
We've said what had to be said
the issue's discussed already dead
We're clinging to something
what we don't know
It's about time we just let go
What's the point, why do we bother
just to try and hurt each other
or to try and save part of what was there
put on an act pretend like we care
avoiding the outcome we both know
cut the shit and just let go
All this back and forth
cheap shots no remorse
no chance wounds to mend
when is this all gonna end
further. whatever gets me
higher. whatever gets me
richer. whatever gets me
all of the power i need
clawing. pushing. ceating. stealing. using?
it doesn't bother me
see it. want it. grab it. hold it. never let go and
it doesn't bother me
dirty fighting. openly lying. always conniving
it doesn't bother me
callous. brutal. barely human. cold and cruel and
it doesn't bother me
i am your leader
i am your leader
i can't wipe the smile from my face because you trust me
i can't wipe the smile from my face - i'm sure you envy your leader
no mercy. no pity. no sympathy
i've got what it takes
i've got your life and i've got your fuckin' money
You set the standard for everyone
the standard to avoid
and yet you're hogging the spotlight again
and everyone is annoyed
your affectations are obvious
the trends so easily seen
another martyr is nailed to the swatch
the fantasy is obscene
You're a prop, you're a prop
you're a fuckin' laughingstock
You're a prop, you're a prop
this charade has got to stop
Got to stop, got to stop, got to stop
So go out and let them know
who's the big man of the show
who's the piss-ant livin' large
who's the no-one takin' charge
will you be seen in the scene
does your rep still come up squeaky clean
will you be seen in the scene that hates you
mocks you, mocks you, they're mocking you
At the top, at the top, laughingstock is at the top
at the top, at the top, number one
he's got the spot
shit list, shit list, tops the list, so go out
and let them know
who's the big man of the show
who's the piss-ant livin' large
who's the nothing takin' charge
will you be seen in the scene
does your rep still come up squeaky clean
will you be seen in the scene that hates you
mocks you, mocks you, they always mock you
you're a prop, you're a prop
Laughingstock
gets no props, gets no props
Laughingstock
when will you learn to face up to your mistake
you thought you had it made
you thought it was all for fun
you didn't realize that a time would come
for you to take responsibility for your actions
you were the one who acted so wise
you were the one who dared me to cross the line
your choise
you pay the price
you were the one who acted so wise
i don't fuckin' understand you
you always tell me to think for myself
but when i disagree with what you say
you turn around and put me down
i don't know why you have to play
these high and mighty power trip games
you're double standards are pissing me off
you've got a set of rules for you and another for us
you're no better and you're no worse
but it's time you stop acting like a fucking jerk
i really wish you would quit
Here's another tale, a replay of society's failures
out for ourselves, bred to consume in pursuit of wealth
and the ones in charge, once secure show disregard
for future generations who must endure what's left behind
No compassion, no caution, no forethought
Potential for a fall
No forethought, no vision, no future
Potential for a fall
go about our lives as we turn a blind eye
as long as i get mine
potential for a fall
submissive, complacent, sit back and let it slip away
just can't seem to hold it together
And yet we continue with the charade of being individuals
as we get spoon-fed, kept in check by the latest trends
are we that shallow? is getting your groove on all that matters
i'm not asking you to bleed but show consideration please
sit back and let it slip away
push us too far, got to fight back
push us too far, our turn to attack
we got to try before it's too late
push us too far you're choosing your own fate
walking around think you're so cool
beating up kids weaker than you
tried to avoid you, but you kept on coming
pushed us too far, gotta do something
When we're on the brink
We'd kill for something to happen
When we're on the brink
We'd kill for something to do
Another day, another night that seems like an eternity
Another day, another night that someone might
Turn this boredom around
See the drugs, see the violence and the pure stupidity
The bad will, the malicious kind of thrill
Keeps the boredom down
Another victim, another crime
Misadventure, a tragic use of idle time
Another victim, another crime
The excitement of straying from the straight line
It's right, you know it
can't you see you're just fooling yourself
it's here, reveal it - all the feelings just lead you to blow it
something special is undeniably run of the mill
Who is accepted, who to reject, who is neglected
who can make the choice
who is admitted, who is denied, who can discern with the human eye
It's wrong, you know it
your gut should be telling you why
avoid it, discard it
avoid it, put it aside, now
So who is accepted, who to reject v who is neglected
who can make the choice
who is admitted, who is denied
who can discern
filled with human error
elusive answers stay just one step ahead
useless effort, always one step ahead
Think about it
the more you learn, the less you know
the more you learn, the less you know
You know
The more you look, the less you find
the more you look, the less you find
who can say they're satisfied
who can say they've found the answers
Once there was a purpose, once there was a voice
Its gotten so deluded, robbed of its claws
Picked, stripped, bones clean
Left the heart, took what you need
Waterd down, now it's just a parody
Once there was a reason, once there was a soulo
Now just a paper tiger, roaring at the mall
Picked, stripped, bones clean
You've got the look, you've got the style
Left the substance, in a year where will you be
Somebody's fakin' it
Somebody's fakin' it
Somebody's fakin' it
Somebody's fake
Call you out, its not a comodity
Call you out, without integrity
Call you out, or an ego driven game
Call you out, let you in with open arms and open mind
You had a taste
You turn around, spit it out
And slap it right in the face
Somebody's fakin' it
Look at them they're fakin' it
Fakin' the punk
Close your eyes and you're sure to see apathy
pass the buck so you don't show sympathy
the beaten path don't let it lead you misery
the fear you hold will only cheat you
don't let it eat you like a cancer
we all pay for the shit we do
pass the buck not to me
out of touch with the things that set us free
pass the buck not to me
out of touch sitting back while we watch 'em bleed
senseless, have we gone numb
youth led by image, what have we become
heartless it's the way to be
maybe it's for you but it's not for me
Sick Of It All
All you've taken, all forsaken
Where you gonna go?
No one told you how it would be
Helter Skelter, ache for shelter
Stare into the sun
You can look but you wont see
Where are you gonna go?
The rise before the fall
When you're just sick of it all
When you're just sick of it all
Fly so high you're going die
When one has broken wings
No one told you how it would be
The power between the highs and lows drowns yourself again
Its where you find that you're free
Where are you gonna go?
When nothing is left that you know
The rise before the fall
When you're just sick of it all
When you're just sick of it all
When you're just sick of it all
Where are you gonna go?
When nothing is left that you know
The rise before the fall
When you're just sick of it all
When you're just sick of it all
There's a moaning I hear when I try to sleep.
It's the sound of a drawn out tragedy
The result of centuries of neglect.
With no attention paid to cause and effect
And the pain gets worse and the screams ensue.
It's the world living with a parasite
It's the world living with it's own infectious disease.
Ruin is what you wanted
Ruin is what you get
Ruin is what you worked towards every single day.
The infestation reaches far beyond it's means.
The sapping of the strength has muffled all the screams.
Self centered beings play out self centered lives.
Indifferent creatures living in indifferent times
And the blame is passed round when the death throws sound
It's the world living with a parasite
It's the world living with it's own infectious disease.
Ruin is what you wanted
Ruin is what you get
Ruin is what you worked towards every single day.
Ruin is what you wanted
Ruin is what you get
Ruin is what you worked towards every single day.
I saw red for a second, so frustrated
I'm not immune to pressure
Thought I could control it, but I buckled
Lashing out for no good reason at all
Wish I could take it back, wish I could just rewind
Wish I could take it back and just not lose my head
Wish I could take it back, wish I could just rewind
Wish I could take it back and just not lose my mind
Words could not make up for the things so stupid
How futile is the effort
So I make this promise and I'll keep it
I'll never hurt the ones I cherish so much
I took it out on the wrong person
I feel pathetic, guilty, and weak
I took it out on the wrong person
I feel pathetic, guilty, and weak
Return to reality Avoiding the treachery
Return to reality Witness against the fools of the world
playing a game so cruel
how long before the lesson is learned
will it be understood
Witness against the fools of the world
caught up in their own trap see how they look
so insecure just holding their weakness back
Suddenly stripped of focus in life
suddenly faced with loss
hitting just like a slap in the face bringin' it down to earth
Channeling this aggression,
confused how will it manifest keeping the sanity
without just keeping it all repressed
In the end what presents itself is the truth and the ugliness
never seen when the eyes are closed or blinded...
The effect of the file world amplified upon return
and so tempted to play the game so malicious...
Witness against the fools of the world playing a game
so cruel how long before the lesson is learned
will they ignore the words
Witness against the fools of the world caught up in their own trap
So resented, so disliked
So involved in all the wrong fights
Overbearing influence
Not endearing to any one
wealth and power crashing through
wealth empowers its own views
wealth and power crashing in
on the warpath once again
So resented, so disliked
So involved in all the wrong fights
Domination won't win friends
Just gives rise to hostile trends
It feels good to see freedom excepted
But by free thought, not a gun to the head
It feels good to see freedom embraced
But by strong folk, not a puppets feeble imitation
Relentless (4x)
Wealth and power crashing through
Wealth impoeses its own views
Wealth and power crashing in
On the warpath, unrelenting
Pressure cooker about to explode
the ignorant ones are litenin' to fools
radical factions add fuel to the fire
to satisfy their hateful desire
We as the innocent suffer the most
paying for crimes we did not commit
here to serve penance for history's sins
detested for something we've never been
All their grandstands, all their big plans
didn't change a damn thing
how could you explain
i don't know your pain
understanding how you shut me out
trust - is lost - we'll gain it back
give us the chance
look in our past and what do you see
history of violence for centuries
the truth isn't written in history's page
this is the source of frustration and rage
we have no rights to ask for your trust
to gain your acceptance we'll do what we must
we'll make a stand for whatever's right
we'll make a stand equal and tight
Shut me out don't you
shut me out don't you
shut me out don't you
[Instrumental]
Scratch the surface serve a purpose
scratch the surface don't waste my time
Such empty life Such simple sheep night after night
herd to the creeps all hidden faults beauty is null
such shallow sight barely skin deep
What is the force that drives the superficial
tell me what keeps their minds remaining little
so afraid of what they'd see underneath the fantasy
so afraid to actually scratch the surface.
All mirrors hide Big money lies faillure inside
big lying eyes that's maybe why eyes are the soul
This is for the one who saved me
accepts me for who i am, just me
and always gives back tenfold whatever i give
Respect was never ever questioned, every feeling reciprocated
mutual ideals and passion straight from the soul, from my soul
When i'm safely in your arms there i find my sanctuary
help me weather every storm, you're my sanctuary, my true love
There are those who tried to use you
even ones who would abuse you
they never took the time to see what i see
how you're always waiting for me kept me sane while all was crazy
and so i give you what's dearest to me
My true love the very first time you touched my soul
You wanna jump me in the pack
Rat Pack, rat pack
My crew has got my back
Rat pack, rat pack
Been through this shit before
Rat pack, rat pack
Now you've got a fucking war
Rat pack, rat pack
I got my pride, glory's on my side
I got my pride, glory's on my side
See you alone you start to run
Rat pack, rat pack
Take your chances one on one
Rat pack, rat pack
I got my pride, glory's on my side
He stares back, he glares back at the eye of the vicious storm
he's holding on defiantly 'cause he won't give up his decency
not sucked in by evil nonsense
not weighted by a guilty conscience
The quiet man leads a quiet life hoping for the day he sees the light
his reticence was heaven sent and everywhere he turned
he saw the ways of the world and they were hell bent
he kept his virtue to himself
peace of mind is a fleeting thing
and he's not sure when he comes across it
peace of mind is a fleeting thing
at least sometimes he can enjoy it, that's more than they can say
'cause they don't change their evil ways more than they can say
'cause they're trapped in the storm they created
the quiet man could say he's seen so many lives decay
but he chose to never spread his word
I take shits
I take shits
I take shits
Culo con cado

It's Clobberin' Time (!)
Pay The PriceYeah
When will you learn
Face of the old mistakes
you thought you had me,
you thought it was something fun
You didn't realize
That the time would come
For you to take responsibility for your actions
You were the one who acted so wise
You were the one who dared me to cross the line
Your choice
You pay the price
You were the one, who acted so wise
Now you're the one whose gonna have to pay the price
When will you learn
Face of the old mistakes
you thought you had me,
you thought it was something fun
You didn't realize
That the time would come
For you to take responsibility for your actions
You were the one who acted so wise
Oooh
It's plain to see
Why there's no harmony.
Arrogance at a glance
A mind that's bent on ignorance.
Desperate for reverance
Little king with no respect.
Spitting out rhetoric from the mouth of a broke dick.
A blind approach that leads to misery
Bitterness will let you down, and shut you out
Why do what you do? Is this major malfunction new
Isn't it clear to everyone here
What died deep inside
Is benevolence now denied
What about pride was it cast aside
So when I see you friend companionship will come to an end
cause of the way you drove me to dismay.
Force - force my hand - forced to take a hostile stand
force - force my hand - forced into a violent plan
Never gonna want another like it
Benefit me benefit you please benefit the whole damn world
nobody needs your criminal greed couldn't you change -
rearrange put your character back in place
it's a waste to see someone so base Guilt is put away for another day
conscience really non-existent only in the way Lowest of the low
I'm sitting in this cell for something I didn't do
And all I can think of is baby I think of you
Don't worry baby coming back for you
There's gonna be a borstal breakout
There's gonna be a borstal breakout
There's gonna be a borstal breakout
There's gonna be a borstal breakout
Now I've got the chance I don't care about what I do
When I done them things I done them just for you
And now I'm getting out coming back for you
There's gonna be a borstal breakout
There's gonna be a borstal breakout
There's gonna be a borstal breakout
There's gonna be a borstal breakout
Well now I'm over the wall I'm nearly home
I'm coming through that door coming back to you
Now I'm nearly home nearly back for you
There's gonna be a borstal breakout
There's gonna be a borstal breakout
There's gonna be a borstal breakout
There's gonna be a borstal breakout
All foreign feet down Oxford Street
Faces from places I've never been
All the shops and restaurants
Ask for money that I haven't got
It's just a fake make no mistake
A rip off me a new Rolls for them
Now you kids get to grips
Don't wanna buy or eat no more
Kings Road shopping makes us poor
Time is running out for us
Two o’clock on a Sunday afternoon
Hop on the 7 train, we know just what to do
Switch at Jackson Heights for the F downtown
When we hit the Bowery, we’re ready to explode
Time - never seemed to cross our minds
Never thought that this would end
Change - after all was said and done
We would never be the same
Rain or shine, didn’t mean a thing
Came for the friendly faces and to blow off steam
Big Charlie, Tommy Rat, Brendan’s on the door
Hanging with Johnny Stiff, watching Murphy’s Law
Time - like a thief in the night
Blink your eyes and it’s gone
Change - after all was said and done
We would never change a thing
When life got rough
We couldn’t get enough
It’s where we grew up
Down at the matinee
We made friends for life
Yeah, there were fights
But we turned out alright
Down at the matinee
Now CB’s is closed, the building has been sold
They took away the heart but couldn’t kill the soul
NEW YORK HARDCORE - lives inside of me
NEW YORK HARDCORE - the flag so proudly raised
WORLDWIDE HARDCORE - that’s our family
I’M SO THANKFUL - for those times at the matinee
Walls start closing in around you
My twins of evil
They shake you by the collarbone
Then snap you by the ribcage
And broken bodies in a death rock dance hall
Please be my partner
Eyeballs pop, accelerated blood beat
Veins a-shaking
And all hell breaks loose
Yeah, evil is as evil does and who
Yeah, who but me could write this book of cruel
I send my murdergram
To all these monster kids
It comes right back to me
And it's signed in there parent's blood
And all hell breaks loose
Yeah, my heart is a-breaking loose
Yeah, my whole world's breaking loose
Yeah, and evil is as evil does ans who
Yeah, but who but me could write this book of cruel
I send my murdergram
To all these monster kids
It comes right back to me
And it's signed in their parents' blood
And broken bodies in a death rock dance hall
Please be my partner
And eyeballs pop, accelerated blood beat
Veins a-shaking
And all hell breaks loose
Yeah, my heart is breaking loose
Yeah, my whole world's breaking loose
Yeah, evil is as evil does ans who
Yeah, but who but me could write this book of cruel
I said my whole world's breaking loose
Yeah, my whole world's breaking loose
Yeah, my whole world's breaking loose
Yeah, my whole world's breaking
All hell breaks loose.
We won’t let our spirit break
LONG AS SHE’S STANDING
Even though our nerves are frayed
WE WON’T GIVE UP THE GHOST
Keep on through thick and thin
LONG AS SHE’S STANDING
We have something on which to cling
WE WON’T GIVE UP THE GHOST
We were born to suffer for posterity
Not for god or country - FOR FAMILY
We did what we had to, so remember
We went down a path that no one chose
We’ll keep trying to believe
LONG AS SHE’S STANDING
That there’s good in humanity
WE WON’T GIVE UP THE GHOST
We’ll continue to look for strength
LONG AS SHE’S STANDING
Even if we have none left
WE WON’T GIVE UP THE GHOST
Digging out, not knowing what’s next
Digging in, put to the test
Standing strong, our beacon prevails
In the face of all this iron rain
Born into this chaos, NO REASON OR RHYME
Born into this downward spiral, WRONG PLACE, WRONG TIME
Born into this hellhole, NO REASON OR RHYME
Irreplaceable lives cut short, WRONG PLACE, WRONG TIME
Since the beginning there’s been a division not at all
desired
Always standing in the way, so hard to push to the side
Hidden from the world of others, dwelling in the heart
Sad emotions that pervaded both the good and the bad
times
DON’T LET IT WIN
Don’t let it break the love of kin
DON’T LET IT WIN
The dark division, the darkest sin
Making the best of it is such a challenge being ill at
ease
Always learning how to act to preserve the honesty
True regret will earn respect and unite both sides
But division keeps resentment growing slowly over time
DON’T LET IT WIN
Don’t let it break the love of kin
DON’T LET IT WIN
The dark division, it’s time to break through the
divide
Time to think, right the wrong, time to BREAK THROUGH
THE DIVIDE
Time to think, right the wrong, time to BREAK THROUGH
THE DIVIDE
Time to feel regret, forgive and forget, time to BREAK
THROUGH THE DIVIDE
Time to neutralize, time to smooth it out, time to
BREAK THROUGH THE DIVIDE
Every dog has his day they say, well, I’m still waiting
for mine
You work and slave, you break your back and you’re
still at the end of the line
You give and you give till there’s nothing left, but
that’s just what it takes
So you pick yourself up, push on ahead and hope you
catch a break
WAITING FOR THE DAY
WAITING, WAITING FOR THE DAY TO COME
Waiting for the day
Waiting for the day
Waiting for the day, our day to come
Waiting for our time
Waiting for our time
Waiting for our time, our time in the sun
A dollar and a dream, seems more like a scheme!
Won’t put food on the table
It’s another device to keep their grip tight and keep
you in their sights
You scrape and scrounge what you can and still they
bleed you dry
When you feel like giving in, you’ve hit the end of the
line
You got to shut your eyes and dig in deep, it’s the
only way to survive
WAITING FOR THE DAY
WAITING, WAITING FOR THE DAY TO COME
Waiting for the day
Waiting for the day
Waiting for the day, our day to come
Waiting for our time
Waiting for our time
Waiting for our time, our time in the sun
And when the well runs dry
You gotta reach down and dig a little deeper
Waiting for the day
Waiting for the day
Waiting for the day, our day to come
Waiting for our time
Waiting for our time
Waiting for our time, our time in the …
Waiting for the day
Waiting for the day
Waiting for the day, our day to come
Waiting for our time
Waiting for our time
Waiting for our time, our time in the sun
At a crossroads in your life
at a point to make a decision
do you play the game for monetary gain
or do you follow a code of ethics
having to deal with some
with the charm of a snake that speaks
with a forked tongue
they'll keep a casual bond to use you later on
disconnect yourself and get away
burn your bridges and don't look back
Burn 'em down, Burn 'em down, Burn 'em down,
Gotta burn it
They don't know what it means
cause all they understand is their greed
they'll never know rewards of the soul
and something to set yourself free
think of moral wealth
you're the one who's got to live with yourself
you can't hide from the ties that bind
you've got to burn those bridges
and break those ties
burn those bridges and break those ties
Burn 'em down, Burn 'em down, Burn 'em down,
you're the one who's got to live with yourself,
you've got to
Burn 'em down, Burn 'em down, Burn 'em down,
Gotta burn it
The problem will arise you've got to look deep down inside
you're the one's who's got to live with yourself
so can you smile for a price
will you stay with those who will only
drag you down, or do you cut the ties
stand up for yourself and
Hold your moral ground
do you stand with those who will only rip you off
or do you strike the match and don't look back and let 'em
burn, let 'em burn, burn 'em down
BURN 'EM DOWN, BURN 'EM DOWN
you're the one who's got to live with yourself
you've got to
Burn 'em down, Burn 'em down, Burn 'em down,
Can somebody tell me why
truth is such a fuckin' lie
close my heart and turn it out
I'm disgusted
so far gone and out of reach
they kick you in the fuckin' teeth
all I wanna know is why
you're all busted
You can't pressure me
when will you see the walls that are closing in
you wanna take, take, take 'till you have it allv Can't trust it
your busted ass
Can't trust it
who's the one to suffer now
you're the one who showed me how
put yourself on the ropes
Invest time, invest life
invest it all, reinvent yourself
before you know it
your essence is renewed with something fresh
Your will, your way
will earn respect in your day
let the glory sharpened knife
carve the future of your life
let's not praise the past, just a fact
Built to last
old school or the new
doesn't mean a thing if your heart's not true
greedy ones faded fast, we're here
Built to last
For the fun, not a fad
the love and the truth so powerful
work out the snags of the past
work out the snags that won't last
mistakes have finished my brothers
mistakes will guide all the others
Your will, your way
might shape a better day
eradicate the stagnancy
eradicate it like disease
as we've seen around the world
We won't go away
cause we'll always feel this way
We're here to stay
and our impact will be felt
We won't go away
if we feel it, we feel it
We're here to stay
another crime but it's not in the streets
another criminal is set free
say his rights were infringed
what about the rights of the victims
another criminal is set free
(bullshit justice)
you and i are the ones to pay
(bullshit justice)
another criminal is set free
(bullshit justice)
victims are the ones to pay
(bullshit justice)
murderers and rapists are back on the street
lawyer did his job and kept them free
distorting the truth twisting the facts
I will never yield in my restoration won't look,
won't look back though
I was torn to pieces nothing will destroy my determination
I won't be surpressed my voice will now be heard
Cease fire - What did I say I didn't mean to blow the world away
Cease fire - What do you know my mouth is like the barrel of a gun
Cease fire - What did I say, disarm (It's time to just disarm)
You're to cautious in the new day of this nation
it's so volatile words can cause an explosion so
I went to far so I shred up action
I had no idea the end would come so easy
Disarm, disarm, we're too far gone, we're to far gone
Someone please put out the flames
Yeah I know it's me to blame
Ready to take on the world with
youthful anger and rage
armed with only innocence we stand
poised to make a change
blissfully naive we charge
leading in with the chin
reality steps right up and knocks
us down for an eight
we might never change the world
At least we had our say
the wheels' been set in motion as we
slowly chip away
Growing up not, not growing old
the feeling is still the same
over the years we've seen our peers
get jaded and turn away
the next generation's here
and we're ready to pick up the pace
side by side we wave the flag
of discontent in their face
We might never change the world
at least we had our say
the wheels' been set in motion as we
Slowly chip away - Away
But now's the time to make it right
we stand defiant - We can't be silenced
We might never cahnge the world
at least we've had our say
with the power of expression
they can't take that away
we might never change the world
at least we've had our say
the wheels' been set in motion as we
Here in this tribe that we live in
Misunderstanding is just a part of life
So quick to blame those around us
For all our problems and things that hold us back
Nothing's black and white
There's never one way to do it right
There's no simple answers
Nothing's absolute, there's never one truth
There's just the threat of butting heads
If our pride could be different
We could be strong and agree to disagree
It's not a stretch, not at all
To take a walk, a walk in your shoes
To understand the other man at all
Is the only chance we've got
Another cause, heed the call, everybody rally 'round
don't contemplate if it's right, just follow the crowd
but don't you dare disagree
'cause they'll question your loyalty
their idea of comraderie is to heed their call to arms
who appointed you the moral judge
pointing your fingers at everyone
don't pull that guilt trip bullshit on me
nothing you say or do can decide for me
So go ahead, keep your rules, i'll choose my own wars
your accusations and harsh words can't do me any harm
'cause i don't believe in blind loyalty
that's just mob mentality
I will answer what's right for me
my.....
these words of anger and fight towards the other man
I'm bent out of shape
I'm feeling irate
feel that blood flow
(Guns on the street, a message complete
Greed, self hatred tonite)
Save your insanity
you die for my needs
Oooh
It's plain to see
Why there's no harmony.
Arrogance at a glance
A mind that's bent on ignorance.
Desperate for reverance
Little king with no respect.
Spitting out rhetoric from the mouth of a broke dick.
A blind approach that leads to misery
Bitterness will let you down, and shut you out
Bar-b-que broke dick.
Lowered my shield, lowered - defenses
happier now feeling - all senses
heighten my soul and my - awereness
isn't it great being - defendeless
a long time ago i was - protected
the choise was mine and i - selected
the joy and the pain were - connected
lowered my shield, now i'm not protected
I never used to let it down
never used to let it down
i never used to let it down
never used to let it
there's something i've got to see
i never used to let it down
never used to let it down
i never used to let it down
never used to let it
i've got to see what's realy inside of me
Now i understand that emotion
now i undrstand why ther's commotion
all this time without - a notion
all this time without - devotion
why waste time being - suspicious
come taste life it's - delicious
expose yourself to the - malicious
expose yourself, they're - so vicious
All these years / will this shield disappear
and will i stand / a stronger man / no shield in hand
Thought enters your mind, something of a find
too bad it's really trite and unoriginal
this poor sap just wants to fit
and couldn't give a shit
if his actions stand
for compromise
wakes up, realizes too late
has to accept the fate of being
the target to humiliate
Givin' in control of your mind
givin' in control of your life
givin' in control of your mind
givin' in control, better watch out
You could be handing your whole shit away
better watch out
nothing unique, just a pale imitation
Don't follow, don't follow
follow your instinct, follow what's right
don't fall for fashion, don't fall for hype
follow your viscera, follow your soul
don't let the powers that be have control
Movements have the knack
to give you what you lack
too bad you joined the thought organization
once you find yourself involved
nothing's really solved
mind control can do just what you let it
Givin' in control of your head
givin' in control of your heart
givin' in control of your head
givin' in control, better watch out
So much for cherishing what makes us different
just watch out
so much for cherishing what's so important
Don't follow, don't follow
follow your instinct, follow what's right
don't fall for fashion, don't fall for hype
follow your viscera, follow your soul
Living in a time when no one cares or gives a shit,
the world now cold and hard
Senseless killing, no apparent reason
Suffer the greed of what the others got
Anger and hatred, the tension's always there
There is no relief in sight for this world full of hate
Nobody cries as the innnocent die and the guilty go free in this world - full of hate
Struggle and strive just to live out our lives as we try to survive in this world - full of hate
Nobody cries as the innnocent die and the guilty go free in this world - full of hate
Struggle and strive just to live out our lives as we try to survive in this world - full of hate
Stand with me, disregard is all I see
Keep to yourself shelteredfor no one else
I've got no respect for a world that can't take care of it's own
Living in a time when no one cares
Or gives a shit, the world now cold and hard
Senseless killing, no appearant reason
Suffer the greed of what the others got
Anger and hatred, the tensions always there
There's no relief in sight for this world full of hate
Nobody cries as the innnocent die and the guilty go free in this world - full of hate
Struggle and strive just to live out our lives as we try to survive in this world - full of hate
Nobody cries as the innnocent die and the guilty go free in this world - full of hate
Struggle and strive just to live out our lives as we try to survive in this world - full of hate
Whose voice is loudest? What do they say?
What earns them positions of authority?
No one’s got the answers - NOBODY RULES
No one’s more than human - NOBODY RULES
These ancient words echo so much
Why has the modern world not had enough?
No one’s got the answers - NOBODY RULES
No one’s more than human - NOBODY RULES
Don’t pay filthy people to give praise
No one’s filthy hands wash clean
Don’t pay to be a slave
Don’t give these mortal words eternal life
Question every angle and possible side
No one’s got the answers - NOBODY RULES
No one’s more than human and NOBODY RULES
The killing fields speak for us
We value words before we value life
And we’re so willing and eager
The killing fields show what we’re made of
Where our conceit and cruelty converge
And we’ll stop at nothing
Pity, such a pity, how deadly simple words can be
People misguided, nearsighted, can be molded like clay
Pity, we can’t break free, this prison of the mind
It’s the fucking blind leading the blind
Bullshit righteous - NOBODY RULES
How dare they act so pious? - NOBODY RULES
No one’s got the answers - NOBODY RULES
No one’s more than human and NOBODY RULES
IT’S WHAT THEY SAY
It’s what they do
What they believe that makes me not believe in anything
at all
They speak their piece
In fucking reeks of shit I’ve heard a hundred thousand
times before
A thousand words
A thousand more will come
Because of all the things they hold so dear
The time is soon
Their time is near
They bring their fucking wall right here
Oh, the people seek
Wisdom from the podium of the week
Watch them as they swindle and get tricked
Happy as they get their pockets picked
Don’t join the crowd
Don’t just agree
With these simple versions of reality
Don’t join the crowd
Don’t just agree
It’s hard enough to deal with the uncertainty
Who’s listening when you pray?
When society decides you’re fake
Who’s profiting most these days?
Corporate greed and business men
Don’t join the crowd
Don’t just agree
With these simple versions of reality
Don’t join the crowd
Don’t just agree
It’s hard enough to deal with the uncertainty
The uncertainty
They speak as if they’re free, but I don’t think so
It’s by control they speak as if they’re free, but I
don’t think so
They live like sheep
They speak as if they’re free, but I don’t think so
It’s by control they push their shit on me
But I say find your own personal space
We have to make our own personal space
Head straight for the edge
Same mistakes again
Lessons never learned
Strike the match and watch it burn
Burn myself once again
I ride it out to the bitter end
It’s easy to ignore writing on the wall
Block out all concerned
Head for the crash and burn
Burn myself once again
I ride it out to the bitter end
When will I ever learn?
I strike the match and watch it burn
Good intentions pave the road
A one way street and we all know where it goes
I see the warnings and how this ends
I block it out and fail myself once again
Burn, burn myself once again
I ride it out to the bitter end
When will I ever learn?
I strike the match and watch it burn
I’ll watch it burn
I’LL WATCH IT BURN
A constant battle that never ends
Against the prison walls I put myself in
I’LL WATCH IT BURN
Under the pressure, I start to fold
As this demon tears away at my soul
I’LL WATCH IT BURN
I won’t go out, no not that way
I steel myself and live to fight another day
I’LL WATCH IT BURN
Burn, burn, I’ll strike the match and watch it burn
Out of touch with autonomy
Guided from the outside
DOMINATED
Free with trust
Passive to a fault
Sniffed out and suckered in
DOMINATED
So much strength
Necessary to deal
With the everlasting shit storm
LOSE YOURSELF - take a blind position
LOSE YOURSELF - powerless condition
LOSE YOURSELF - in this oppression
LOSE YOURSELF - just accept DOMINATION
Turned around on autonomy
Guided from the outside
DOMINATED
Character in question
Confidence destroyed
Resignation handed in
DOMINATED
Wake up stressed
Far more often than not
To the realization that life’s fucking shot
SHOT, SHOT, SHOT
Life’s fucking shot, SHOT, SHOT, SHOT
And now the poison is spreading outwards ‘cause it
can’t strike in much more
And the innocents forced to share it must accept they
also lose the same control
So lost
Stripped bare
So DOMINATED
There it is
The smiling face, the kind expression
Bringing hope to the demoralized
GOOD COP
Could there be a useful change
A better future
Is it just a clever power game
GOOD COP
CHANGE ISN’T IN THE AIR
JUST IN WHAT WE HEAR
Still held down, but never fear
Least the bad one’s history
The good cop is here
Working for the same old man
Doing his bidding in his interests
For his heartless plans
GOOD COP
If you’re tempted to believe
Caught up in it, drink the kool-aid
You’ll also be deceived
GOOD COP
CHANGE ISN’T IN THE AIR
JUST IN WHAT WE HEAR
Still held down, but never fear
Least the bad one’s history
The good cop is here
A ruse, a hoax, a trojan horse
It’s the old guard with a new look
They’ve made good cop man of the hour
They won’t ever let go of power
Out of the fire that came before
We’re back in the frying pan once more
[x4]
It was the usual crowd growing up
All good, all bad, ALL UGLY
They were like brothers ‘cause we all felt the same
The future tore them away
Born with our senses keen - HOPE AND FEAR
With a sense of danger and demise
The world will numb everything - HOPE AND FEAR
A negative discipline, a vacuum
What evil force dragged them down?
What demon singled them out?
What evil took them away?
Allowing only two choices
So tell me
Was there a secret never shared with others?
Was there a hidden trauma?
What made the bonds break?
What caused the mistakes?
Why was the criminal life so desired?
Born with our senses keen - HOPE AND FEAR
With a sense of danger and demise
The world will numb everything - HOPE AND FEAR
A negative discipline, a vacuum
From afar bleak reports trickle in, but
The world has spread apart, the world has spread apart
All the promise that was held now is wasted
The soul is delicate, the walls have crippled it
From afar troubled lives lose their purpose
The world has given up, the world has given up
The world has finally forsaken its sons
What evil force dragged them down?
What demon singled them out?
What evil took them away?
Allowing only the choice between
DEATH OR JAIL
you're always screaming about unity
being open minded and honesty
what you might say will some people believe
but i really doubt your sincerity
if we really want this deal to work out
we all got to rise above
we've got to stop these pretty arguments
don't you think it's time to cut the shit out
you're always screaming about unity
being open minded and honesty
if we really want it, we all got to try
stop talkin' behind each other's backs
and spreading a bunch of lies
i ain't saying i got a master plan
or telling you to go out and hold each other's hands
just saying that we're tired of hearing your shit
if you don't mean what you say then don't say it
There’s only dirty money in this system we extol
Can we live with it?
How long ‘till it implodes?
And our selfish wicked ways lavishly provide
For ourselves
A shameless love of wealth
On our bed of roses we wear a crown of thorns
We toss and turn and still want more
NICE AND STUFFED BUT STILL CAN’T GET ENOUGH
Living in the rat race, desperate for the cheese
NICE AND STUFFED BUT STILL CAN’T GET ENOUGH
Pushing through the rat race, rewarded for our greed
NICE AND STUFFED BUT STILL CAN’T GET ENOUGH
Urged to keep morality from getting in the way of the
dream
We snatch at dirty money
Just as soon as it appears
Can we live with it?
We know that it’s unclean
And our selfish wicked way places all the blame on
ourselves
Cause we all play the game
They say “more money, more problems”
Even though we see it’s a pretty good fix
Tortured by human aspirations
What we want
What we need
What’s beyond
And in-between
NICE AND STUFFED BUT STILL CAN’T GET ENOUGH
Living in the rat race, desperate for the cheese
NICE AND STUFFED BUT STILL CAN’T GET ENOUGH
Pushing through the rat race, rewarded for our greed
WOAH-OH, WE’RE UNDER ITS CONTROL
The dirty money system rules the world
WOAH-OH, WE’RE UNDER ITS CONTROL
The dirty money system rules the world
WOAH-OH, WE’RE UNDER ITS CONTROL
The dirty money system rules the world
[x2]
No more, no more
The cries of the ones you
Serve go unheard, ignored
With patronizing smiles you move on, and on
An agenda all your own
While the pain and scorn
Are yours and yours alone to stop
It's been said all before
But you choose to ignore
And the ones that you burn
Will be the ones to see you fall
You test the innocent and watch them bleed
You test the innocent, we'll watch you bleed
What's right, what's just
The lines of right and wrong have been
Blurred and crossed
So many times the ideals are lost
Your voices numb our minds
And those who oppose are cast
Into a light of doubt
There's only so much they'll take
Before your grip starts to break
As the cracks start to show
It falls apart and explodes
What's there left to say
As all hope fades away
Our cries fall on deaf ears
With no hope, no fear
Warned you a thousand times
You just ignored
And now the faceless ones
Will see you fall
You test the innocent and watch them bleed
You test the innocent, we'll watch you bleed
The pressure’s building from deep inside
Judged in a way so unfair and blind
Done nothing wrong, done the right thing all along
Been written off as if guilty of a crime
Subject of hate
BENT OUTTA SHAPE
And reeling from that fucked up exchange
Subject of hate
BENT OUTTA SHAPE
Worked up, no longer down to work it out
Get it out
Get it out
Take that pressure off
Calling for exoneration
Out of nowhere quick knee-jerk reaction
And so it goes - The insults start to fly
Respect is pushed aside and no one does the right thing
anymore
Subject of hate
BENT OUTTA SHAPE
And reeling from that fucked up exchange
Subject of hate
BENT OUTTA SHAPE
Worked up, no longer down to work it out
Get it out
Get it out
Take that pressure off, take it off
It’s but a name
It’s such a strain
It’s all too much to take
Now it’s time to break
Break oneself away
Time to just abandon
Let go of the burden
Allow no rules or self-induced confusion
Allow no fucking quarter
My principles, good sense
Got shut down by ignorance
Thought I made myself really clear
But couldn’t overcome the L.C.D.
That’s what I said, GET IT THROUGH YOUR HEAD
The plain truth speaks for itself
It’s common sense, GET IT THROUGH YOUR HEAD
Nothing else speaks for me, I won’t bend
Not gonna join in, I won’t partake
The party’s over in many ways
I feel despondent, I feel confused
Saw nonsense win and logic lose
That’s what I said, GET IT THROUGH YOUR HEAD
The plain truth speaks for itself
It’s common sense, GET IT THROUGH YOUR HEAD
Nothing else speaks for me, I won’t bend
Repetition’s useless
The concept never grasped
We keep going on, over and over again
The same argument
What’s so hard to figure out?
What’s so hard to accept?
We’re on a tightrope, shake and lose your step
If we fall, it’s the end
It’s common sense
C’mon and get it through that thick head
It’s the means to an end
Nothing else speaks for me
Nothing else, I won’t bend
My principles, good sense
Got shut down by ignorance
Thought I made myself really clear
But couldn’t overcome the L.C.D.
L… C… D. - L.C.D.
Sick Of It All
All you've taken, all forsaken
Where you gonna go?
No one told you how it would be
Helter Skelter, ache for shelter
Stare into the sun
You can look but you wont see
Where are you gonna go?
The rise before the fall
When you're just sick of it all
When you're just sick of it all
Fly so high you're going die
When one has broken wings
No one told you how it would be
The power between the highs and lows drowns yourself again
Its where you find that you're free
Where are you gonna go?
When nothing is left that you know
The rise before the fall
When you're just sick of it all
When you're just sick of it all
When you're just sick of it all
Where are you gonna go?
When nothing is left that you know
The rise before the fall
When you're just sick of it all
When you're just sick of it all
I saw red for a second, so frustrated
I'm not immune to pressure
Thought I could control it, but I buckled
Lashing out for no good reason at all
Wish I could take it back, wish I could just rewind
Wish I could take it back and just not lose my head
Wish I could take it back, wish I could just rewind
Wish I could take it back and just not lose my mind
Words could not make up for the things so stupid
How futile is the effort
So I make this promise and I'll keep it
I'll never hurt the ones I cherish so much
I took it out on the wrong person
I feel pathetic, guilty, and weak
I took it out on the wrong person
I feel pathetic, guilty, and weak
Hands tied, eyes closed.
So many things I've had to say
So many chances have escaped.
Facing life with blinders on
A slave to my own inhibitions.
And at times there's peace
Moments of release
From the terror that petrifies life.
But it never lasts
The sky's are overcast.
The bravado is washed away.
Hands tied, eyes closed.
The things I've had to say
Chances I've let escape
Watch them slip away, watch them die out.
Always there
Hidden fear
Of self doubt
Cant break out.
I wont let it win
I cant let it win.
I wont let it win
I cant let it win.
Close my eyes and hope
Hope it goes away
Hope I'm safe inside for another day.
Close my eyes and hope
Hope it goes away
One is born, one dies
We're fragile and soft
Our surroundings are harsh
Our surrondings are hostile
The world takes what it wants
Nobody's secure
Nobody is safe
Don't take it for granted
To see another day
Murder, accident, suicide, and disease
We're lucky to be here
We're lucky to live
So much is trivial
Beyond that idea
Murder, accident, suicide, and disease
The soul is sacred
It defines our being
And without the body
The force is freed
Leaving only a shell
The land increases
So I take that you thought
Some things are better left unsaid
You chose your inhibitions
Over what I should comprehend
What could have been done
To keep me from going astray
Begging for direction
But not pointed out the way
Silence, silence doesn't teach
Silence, silence doesn't lead
Silence, where did I end up
In a self-destructive rut
Do I think I'm stronger because I learned my own way
I just think I'm lucky to have made it out unscathed
Now I'm thinking I resent the counsel that I lacked
All the words I didn't hear could have saved my past
Silence, silence doesn't teach
Silence, silence doesn't lead
Silence, where did I end up
In a self-destructive rut
Silence is deafening
You don't say
Silence is deafening
The corrupt light shines
The corrupt light blinds
Time to shrink, time to hide
Time to guard what's inside
The street didn't gently take me under their wing
The street is so dirty and I feel unclean
Silence is deafening when guidance is sought
Silence is deafening, and now I'm haunted
Put defenses to rest
when justice becomes moot
defy - let others follow suit
to start the uprise is to start the war
paranoid conspiracies galore
What's the point to maintain your innocence
what's the point to play into their game
what's the use to even try and sway
pigs that are out to put you away
Just a patsy played for a fool
crooked games are what they're playing
lying, cheating, self defeating
crooked games are what they're playing
accusations so demeaning, played for a fool
crooked games are what they're playing
lying, cheating, self defeating
crooked games are what they're playing
Living in this world that's full of hate
I just try to keep to myself
People gonna fuck with you anyway
They just can't leave you alone
Giving you advice you don't wanna hear
Like thier lives are so great
All of their lies filled me with anger and hate
There's always someone watching every move you make
Living in this world that's full of fools
I just try to keep to myself
People always throwing thier opinions at you
Makes it hard to see things clear
Just remember that in the end
The final decision is up to you
All of their lies filled me with anger and hate
They had their greed and their dictations
I just pretend to live a life in solitude
All I wanna be is left alone
Disappointment was all you got from me
All I wanna be is left alone
All I wanna be is left alone
No matter what, I see what's real
Every imperfection is crystal clear
No matter what, I can't help but give a fuck
I can't be free and easy
I just don't work like that
I'm not like that
look into my eyes, it burns inside
when I view the world I see the lies
sometimes it can leave me hurt
the overly critical part takes over
No matter what, I see what's real
Every imperfection is crystal clear
No matter what, I can't help but give a fuck
I can't be free and easy
I just don't work like that
Like that, like that, not free and easy
Dumb me down so I can be happy
Dumb me down so I can be numb
Dumb me down 'cause I pick apart all my blessings
Loyalty, I gave my loyalty
I gave my heart and my soul.
My heart and soul and all I could give
For a reason to live.
Fidelity, always fidelity
Putting everything I was aside
And I tried to be the best in their eyes.
How could they do this
How could they do this
How could they do this to me?
Suffering, the pain and suffering.
Being separate again, separate again
From what I hold dear.
And the shame of the tears
Disappeared, the honors disappeared.
With the betrayal of trust my body and being.
They washed their hands of me
Once and for all.
How could they do this
How could they do this
How could they do this to me?
This statistic wont lay down
Take a number or stand in line
This statistic wants to hear
That they're guilty about their crimes.
This statistic wont lay down
Take a number or stand in line
This statistic wants to hear
That they're guilty about their crimes.
we're the one - we're the only
we're the best - end of story
fly the flag - feel the glory
we'll avenge past injustices
always
always war - god's with the righteous. always war
always war - god's will would give them hell
always war - god's stands beside us. always war
always war - it's god's will - so give 'em hell
we're the blind - we're the nameless
give some worth - to the aimless
and always
always war
always war
don't you want revenge
always war
don't you want your god given revenge?
we're the one - we're the only
we're the best - end of story
Down is where they want to see you
Down is where they want to keep you
Down, somber and silent
Faith is used against you
Faith is a line that they feed you
Faith is only a word
Don't believe their empty lies
Fear is how they grip you
Fear is fixed inside you
Fear of unacceptance
Same old story will we ever learn
Fall for the cliches all over again
With a calculating coldness it never ends
Their indifference just blows me away
Down is where they want to see you
Down is where they want to keep you
Down, somber and silent
Faith is used against you
Faith is a line that they feed you
Faith is only a word
You can only save yourself
Fear is how they grip you
Fear is fixed inside you
Fear of unacceptance
I can tell you what's at stake
'Till I'm blue in the face
Your blind acceptance blows me away
What is it that we haven't said or haven't done
Or are you turning a deaf ear to these words
You sit unknowing with your pathetic apathy
You may have grown to accept this, but not me
You shut your eyes to the truth
But I've seen the evil that men do
The answer staring you right in the face
Another generation fooled
It blows me away
Blows me away
Blows me away
Blows me away
Blows me away
Shorter!
Wider!
Browner!
Greener!
And more blatty than a human egg [x4]
A Human Egg
brutal - the big picture is so cruel to us
and everyone's life is such a tiny speck
the worst atrocities can pass. fifty miles away to no effect
power. power
has always been abused
work. debt. poverty. taxes
life's oppressive rules
power. power
just might never change
no answers will come from our bloodthirsty ways
let's take the night off from mental stress
let's take the night off - this world's a mess
captive - held captive by our hopes and dreams
our best intentions can destroy us
we shouldn't grind ourselves away
take a break. we need to maintain
commiserating has run it's course
we'll save the world tomorrow
we'll have to wait until that day
we'll wait. we'll wait
but in the meantime
let's celebrate that we don't give a fuck
let's celebrate that we don't care
let's celebrate that we don't give a fuck
with the middle finger high in the air
let's celebrate that we don't give a fuck
take the night off. pass the buck
This is what I am
I cant make it stop
No matter how much I want to change.
This is who I am
And I've made my peace.
Now the boredom can set in
I can't make it go away.
Progress made towards self discovery
Might not be progress at all.
Making light of the banality
Might be the only recourse.
Look out
See life close around you
The routine becomes what you are.
Look out
See all the mistakes
That you'll make a hundred times more.
Look out see life close around you
The routine becomes what you are
Look out see all the mistakes
You'll be making a hundred times
A thousand times
A million times more
This is what I am
I cant make it stop
No matter how much I want to change.
This is who I am
And I've made my peace
Now the boredom can set in
I can't make it go away.
The same old words
The same old voice
The same old options without much choice.
Now you know yourself
Now you see just how fucked up
All the things you want
all the things you need
you got the power to choose
you got the right to be all the things you loathe
all the things you hate is what you will become
until you will go straight
all the things denied
the shit you can't believe
you don't blame your self you
blame society
all the things in life
that you've been waiting for
wait outside your door
All your problems won't go away
I guess this is the price you pay
your decisions you will soon regret
throw away your life
go straight ahead
I see you everyday wasting your time away
you got no respect
got nothing good to say
all the things you loathe
all the things you hate
see what you will become unless you will go straight
all the things in life
all that you wanna be
but you don't even try
you want it all for free
all the things in life that you've been waiting for wait outside your door
I've got to take control of the problem
Before it takes control over me
I've got to change the way that I'm seen
And that'll change the way that I'm seen
I'm searching for that comfort zone, inside my head
It's hard to find, but if I relax, I'll be rewarded
I've got to break these thoughts
And see that I'm a friend
Got to accept my humanity
Put this war to an end
Take control, it's not a prison to me
Take control, and I'm a free man from here
It's not fair, but I've been living my life in chains
My whole fucking life in chains
I know that I'm to blame
I've got to take control, take control
Take control over me
I've got to change my way, change my ways
Change the way that I'm seen
But now I've made it
Now I've made it
But now I've made the change
Growing anger fills my head
Always trying to make things better
make things better with fantasy
Open your eyes and you'll see better
see it's up to you and me
Make an effort, do what you can
anything's better than sitting on your ass
Sing a song, scream and shout
hoping that someone here is down
Always trying to make things better
make things better with fantasy
Open your eyes and you'll see better
see it's up to you and me
To fight for all the things we believe in
Always trying to make things better
make things better with fantasy
Open your eyes and you'll see better
see it's up to you and me
Desperate Little You
We've seen the act and it won't do
Helpless Pathetic you
It's always something, It's always something
Stood For Nothing [x4]
Show some pride, show something
You got no heart, you got nothing
Help me stay true so I'll never be like you
Stood for Nothing [x4]
(you stood for nothing)
It's all good I still believe in myself, humanity
It's all good I still believe - that's the way it's gotta be
Stood For Nothing [x3] - Piss in the dirt
I found a souvenir
In things I collected
The effect it had on me
Turned out distressing.
Instead of focusing on my past rejoicing
It just reminded me of awkward emotions.
Thought of my innocence
Thought of alienation
No self identity and massive confusion.
I wanted desperatley to think of the good time
Guess I remember too much.
Guess I would rather look at
The path in front of me that's holding something new.
Does it really do the trick when you're reunited
Does it make you stop and think
Things weren't meant to click.
Does it really do the trick to be taken back
Does it make you stop and think
Of all the things you lacked.
Time can give and take away at will
Don't look back, don't stand still
Because time will bleed you dry.
A little sympathy please for the petty bastards
Who feel their glory days are behind them.
So far behind them
The person thy thought made all the difference
Isn't even who they are now
And they refuse to see how
Everydays another chance to mend a petty life.
Does it really do the trick when you're reunited
Does it make you stop and think
Things weren't meant to click.
Does it really do the trick to be taken back
Does it make you stop and think
Of all the things you lacked.
Time can give and take away at will
Don't look back, don't stand still
Because time will bleed you dry.
Bled dry
Bled dry of motivation
Bled dry of motivation
Bled dry
A desert of ambition, a desert of ambition.
Bled dry
Discarded by the wayside, discarded by the wayside,
In the underground, integrity lies within
in the underground, image doesn't mean a thing
when the substance lacks it's plain for all to see
if the deal is right then respect is where it should be.
For the fakes and frauds it's a fucking fashion show
total compromise will have them sell their soul.
all the negative all the useless influence
all the emptiness all the violent detriment
makes no sense...
Please have more to give than fashion and images
please have more to give than fashion and images
Caught up in a trap of media crap that's no way to live
Caught up in a trap of media crap so little to give
Caught up in a trap of media crap that's no way to live
Caught up in a trap of media crap so little to give
In the underground, integrity lies within
in the underground, image doesn't mean a thing
we can do away with this negativity
it's so hard to make a mark when you wash away
it's so hard to be remembered when you've got nothing to say
how could there be influence with quality in short supply?
forced to watch this impotence. a dozen for a dime
when the frauds are on the rise we wanna see them fall
when the frauds are flying high we wanna see them crawl
never did pay any dues - they've got a lot to learn
when they come down with a crash we wanna see them burn
how can we deeply moved by their shallow words?
the message is expendable. cheap and mass produced
how could there be influence with quality in short supply?
forced to watch this impotence. a dozen for a dime
better enjoy success. cause it won't last
that kind of ego is just good for a laugh
the money machine will make it grow
will hit a nerve and make it gold
if they have it to jam it down
jam it down your throat
jam it down your throat
it's so hard to make a mark
jam it down your throat
it's so hard to make a mark
jam it down your throat
till it succeeds
where they do come from
what do they mean
some random kids from some random scene
what do they stand for
what do they mean
what are they saying
nothing. nothing
You judge me
you hate me
can´t stand the shade
of my darker skin
Don´t know me
but show me
your ignorance
like my skin´s a sin
Don´t hate you
but you hate me
but one thing
you must understand
If you stress me
or test me
you´ll feel the wrath
of a crazy man
See your face of disgust
you like your faith
you like your trust
you judge my race quick to rush
but you don´t know me
what the fuck
Your race is used full of lies
we bring about your demise
my righteousness is on the rise
You wanna see the truth
open your eyes
All the pain you caused for me
all those hate you caused for me
i´m just sick of it all
Don´t give a fuck about you
i´m just sick of you all
Don´t give a fuck about you
i´m just sick of it all
we don´t give a fuck about you
i´m just sick of you all
Don´t give a fuck about you
Are you fool,
are you friend?
What state of mind
are you in?
So many lies
you´ve been told
that you repeat
since you were three years old
Brake the mold
change the game
release yourself
from all that pain
Cause if you maintain
the things you do
When you´re yelling fuck me
I´m screaming fuck you
All the pain you caused for me
all those hate you caused for me
i´m just sick of it all
Don´t give a fuck about you
i´m just sick of you all
Don´t give a fuck about you
i´m just sick of it all
we don´t give a fuck about you
i´m just sick of you all
Don´t give a fuck about you
Do you do the things you do
Can´t you ever tell the truth
Do you even have a clue
We don´t give a fuck about you
i´m just sick of it all
Don´t give a fuck about you
i´m just sick of you all
Don´t give a fuck about you
i´m just sick of it all
we don´t give a fuck about you
i´m just sick of you all
Murder murder a ripe blood stain
Pulled the fucking trigger cause Im sick of it all
Murder murder a ripe fucking hate
Pulled the fucking trigger cause Im sick of it all
I went to school today with an oozi
Theres this kid he teased me so i shot em in the face
All the worlds light wont ease my pain
It wont cease im diseased will you hang me please
What do i do im american youth
All my life ive lived in silence
Im gonna snap ill get you back
Im a girl im only 13 my body rots
Cause i wont fucking eat
Im a silent star on a b-roll
Im a mirror fucking image of no control
Give me the award i conquered food again
What else is better in life than to purge my pain
If i cut, i wont look like that
If i cut if i cut i wont feel like this
We are kids we think life is a scam
We come from wasted land
We are kids we play punk rock and roll
If we didnt we got no soul
We are different kids with the same heartbeat
We got one pulse running through the streets
They are our arteries
For now we'll try to keep, keep our P.M.A.
For now we'll try to keep living our own way
The man can't tell us how, tell us how to live
It's not his place and we're not his fucking slaves
Treat me badly, treat me wrong
Test me for the millionth time
I won't change my attitude
I'll improve by not being like you
Treat me kindly, treat me well
Lift me briefly from the hell
Just remind me why there's hope
For any of us at all
Nothing's easy from where we stand
It's a long hard road to the promised land
And there's no reason to think
That we'll ever get there
Is it hope or a lack of sense
It's the fighting spirit of the human race
That keeps us trying in spite of ourselves
We think that we look above
For salvation on this earth
But we look to books of man
Created by no others hand
Why would this give us the right
To be so sure we've seen the light
Let's be modest, let's be true
We're the only hope we've got
Nothing's easy from where we stand
It's a long hard road to the promised land
And there's no reason to think
That we'll ever get there
Is it hope or a lack of sense
It's the fighting spirit of the human race
That keeps us trying in spite of ourselves
For now we'll try to keep, keep our P.M.A.
For now we'll try to keep living our own way
The man can't tell us how, tell us how to live
It's not his place and we're not his fucking slaves
Soul be free
Not chained in any way by petty jealousy
Soul be free
Not bound in any way by selfishness or greed
The bonds were formed over the years
Suddenly so flimsy and weak
So did they ever exist?
I just watched as my life was criticized
So I could judge who had my happiness in mind
My best interest isn't your best interest
Count me out if I'm to serve you further
My best interest isn't your best interest
Let me out if it's that one-sided
Soul be free
Not chained in any way by petty jealousy
Soul be free
Not bound in any way by selfishness or greed
Let them do what they do and make a list
Check it out and see what friends amount to shit
My best interest isn't your best interest
Count me out if I'm to serve you further
My best interest isn't your best interest
Let me out if it's that one-sided
I want the best for the souls that are close to me
I won't stand in the way of their happiness
I want the best for the souls that are dear to me
I won't stand in the way of their freedom
Their calling, their destiny
Soul be free [x4]
Always looking, always waiting anticipating
fickle and jaded sometimes sloppy working the body
the pressure is in my head i won't falter
the hell with meeting expectations
proudly displaying imperfections
sometimes sloppy working the body
the pressure is in my head i won't falter
A new direction, old approach
ideas are borrowed, bought and sold
they take the credit, not the blame
leading the blind in their game
They want control with no truth
the token phrases won't come thru
Don't rest your hopes, on their backs
When their gone they won't look back
They're on the outside and looking in
for what can shape the latest trend
they'll rape the substance with no return, and steal the credit not
earned you think that we're the ones the ones who lost out when
the rules were set to win at any cost we'll stand defiant, we'll stand alone
Through years of disrespect that desecrates the soul
The times are changing but not our minds
The spirit strenghtens with the passing of time
We'll stand defiant, we'll stand alone
See what the world has made me
A bogus heart of gold.
Sweet talk is never real
Just evil lies I've told.
I see the mark of the victim
I see the mark of the trusting soul.
I take the face of the innocent
And rub it into the world.
Then I have to turn my back.
With nothing ever promised
I can't take all the blame.
I keep my spirit callous
And leeches far away.
I see the mark of the victim
I see the mark of the trusting soul.
I take the face of the innocent
And rub it into the world.
Then I have to turn my back.
Though I'm wrong and heartless now
I can find it in myself to live with it
Though I caused the pain you feel
I'm gonna have to turn my back
Though I'm wrong and heartless now
I can find it in myself to live with it
Though I caused the pain you feel
I'm gonna have to turn my back
Struggling through the hardships everyday
I do what I can to fade away
(the bullet has passed it's got our state)
it helps our pride
(all the merry, it hasn't last, for disillusions)
Scratch in the dirt,
trying to find, a glorious time
when there was strengh
Hard is my will, so we can take
what has it come to
why does it happen to
leave me cold,
and broken inside and wanting to quit
(Suck up to them), we shouldn't go down
we're down in the gutter
playing the game, something remains
we've already won, and we become slaves
No tears, from my eyes
Just strengh, from my pride
No tears, from my eyes
Blood, sweat, 'till I die
No tears, from my eyes
Just strengh, from my pride
No tears, from my eyes
Should be the end of an era
an era of control
that keeps minds lost in their identity
The power that exists alone, should be finished
should be done
the suffocation can't go on
choke on the world while just
Staring at the sun
a spoon fed zombie can't be discerning one
never had the chance to be the thoughtful one
never had the chance to break from being numb
once and for all
End the era - let it go
End the era - of control
End the era - turn it off
Reach the ones who aren't lost
should be the end of an era
an era of monopoly
should be stripped of all authority
monopoly exists alone
should be buried
should be gone
a real effort never made
to get a special kind of look or thought or trait
the plain and obvious course is prearranged
the opportunity to take the simple path
without the knowledge that the straight - away
won't last, it just won't last
End the era - let it go
End the era - of control
End the era - turn it off
reach the ones who aren't lost
Let it go, let it go, turn it off
what's better for you is not better for me
fuck this abuse. i'll give it right back
what's better for you is not better for me
fuck this abuse. i'll give it back
living with manipulative lies - evil schemer
acting like dysfunction is alright
but my life needs none of this perpetrating style
evil skeezer
master of deflecting guilt and turning shit around
i never imagined complete control
could take a hold of me with such subtlety
everything's a power struggle now - evil schemer
every day's a tug war somehow
but my life needs none of this disrespect and doubt
evil skeezer
there's no trust so why waste time trying to work things out?
save the drama - save the act - save the drama
stop before i fuckin' crack
fuck this abuse - i'll give it right back
fuck this abuse - i'll give it back
don't count on government for your security
don't count on any neighbour for their camaraderie
forget it. forget it
the sense of ease you would wish for most
all the wicked lies forming in their wicked throats
oh. to break all the wicked molds
formed in human life. by which we're surrounded
faithless
never underestimate stupidity of man
get in the way - of his wretched plans
never underestimate stupidity of man
get in the way - of his wretched aftermath
don't count on government for your security
don't count on any neighbour for their camaraderie
they are flawed
trust is a mistake
even decent men mess what's on their plate
subject to the urge
written all over their face
fallen decent men. victims of their nature
faithless
the movers and shakers
have me moving far away
the movers and shakers
have me shaking my head
never underestimate stupidity of man
get in the way - of his wretched plans
never underestimate stupidity of man
get in the way - of his wretched aftermath
don't count on government for your security
don't count on any neighbour for their camaraderie
comfort. friendship
let them not be lost
My enemies lurk in the corner of my eye
Falling apart
Staring back from the dark shadows in my mind
Faling apart
My trust is like a crumbling statue
Falling apart
I try to hide but find no refuge
Faling apart
They seem so threatening
they all seem so threatening
they're all coming after me
The enemy's after me - that's a problem
from what i see the land of the free is ready
to arm me to the teeth - that's a problem
we're free to cheat, free to steal
free to wreck each other at will
they shock my chill, shock my senses
never let down my defenses
kundalini's in a mess
and i'm shattering from stress
they victimize, traumatize
and i'm as vulnerable as a child
all the sounds i hear at night
is my alarm going off
are my windows shut and locked
as i fumble trough my keys
you see me falling apart at the seams
Falling apart
Are the sins getting staler
Does every moment move past you
Or does it feel like forever
And shouldn't you be laughing too?
Take a look how they found you
Take a look what they've done to you now
What was it they wanted
Sullen and haunted?
If only you saw it coming
How far down would you fall
If you never came up again?
'Cause you're so sick of it all
And you want to change everything
Just how deep would you go
To see through it all?
If you could consume her
Would you say you were finding your way out?
Is anything coming clearer
Smashing your mirror?
Still you can see you're guilty
Coming closer my composure
Turning inside out in her
Calling home all alone
You can call I won't answer
Any question in my head
Remains until you feel the same
Never telling how I felt is all I ever cared about
How far down would you fall
If you never came up again?
'Cause you're so sick of it all
And you want to change everything
Someone somewhere should know
If you wanna come back around
Just how deep would you go
To see through it all?
To see through it all
To see through it all
It all...
outcast. never fitting in
defiant to the last - it's my life
forged our own way outside the lines
for reasons they'll never understand
sacrificed. considered great
never crossed our minds - it's my life
freedom to stand or fall
our destiny is solely in our hands
no. this is not a joke
or a stepping stone
or some passing fad
flows through our heart and soul
some will never know
what they could have had
too late. no turning back
wouldn't even try - it's my life
live through the joy and pain
the blood. the sweat
this is our life
we all want a reason. a reason to exist
we all want a purpose in life - well we found this
the curse the darkness put out the light
to be a constant thorn in their side
to pull the blinders from your eyes
it might do nothing but at least we try
no. this is not a joke
or a stepping stone
or some passing fad
flows through our heart and soul
some will never know
what they could have had
it's my life
A dog that has no heart
A dog that shows no heart
This day and age
That dog will have his day.
The ones who take your money
The faceless and the cunning. This day and age
We're all such easy prey.
They aren't worth the money that they earn
They don't deserve the money that they earn.
You fit the demographic
If cash burns a hole in your pocket.
This day and age the con men Have it made.
Dollar
Check the flavor hear me holler.
This day and age
Respect is what you're paid.
They aren't worth the money that they earn
They don't deserve the money that they earn.
Hey, hey don't support the over paid and
Please say what you think about them when your face to face
Pick your battles carefully and
Don't waste money that'll speak for you.
It's the voice that speaks the loudest in this day and age.
They aren't worth the money that they earn
Think of where you came from
think about your past
wouldn't you look ridiculous
selling out at last
don't bite more than you can chew
in the search for the perfect you
don't bite more than you can chew
you gotta be true, you gotta be true
don't bite more than you can chew
in the search for the perfect you
don't be drastic, don't be drastic
that could be me
that could be you
no one is immune
cut some slack before you mock those
trying to improve
we've all been there too
we always pull through
we've got to learn humility
No fear or concern
Ready to take on the world
Not playing it safe
Gonna change everything
So blind in youth
To all the hidden truths
Reality hits
And puts out the fire within
You’ve got to fight the rising tide
Don’t let it win, don’t let it win - HOLD ON
Snuffs out the spark of life you have inside
Don’t let it die, don’t let it die…
No fear or concern
Ready to take on the world
Not playing it safe
Gonna change everything
You’ve got to fight the rising tide
Don’t let it win, don’t let it win - HOLD ON
Snuffs out the spark of life you have inside
Don’t let it die, don’t let it die - STAY GOLD
No way, no how, no compromise
You choose the path you walk in life
No way, no how, no compromise
Don’t let the fire inside die out
Hold on to your anger
Keep it inside
It’s your lifeline
Never let it go, never let it go - NEVER
Hold on to your passion
Keep it alive
It’s your lifeline
Never let it go, never let it go…
No fear or concern
Ready to take on the world
Not playing it safe
Gonna change everything
So blind in youth
To all the hidden truths
Reality hits
And puts out the fire within
No way, no how, no compromise
You choose the path you walk in life
No way, no how, no compromise
Don’t let the fire inside die out
All the things you want
all the things you need
you got the power to choose
you got the right to be all the things you loathe
all the things you hate is what you will become
until you will go straight
all the things denied
the shit you can't believe
you don't blame your self you
blame society
all the things in life
that you've been waiting for
wait outside your door
All your problems won't go away
I guess this is the price you pay
your decisions you will soon regret
throw away your life
go straight ahead
I see you everyday wasting your time away
you got no respect
got nothing good to say
all the things you loathe
all the things you hate
see what you will become unless you will go straight
all the things in life
all that you wanna be
but you don't even try
you want it all for free
all the things in life that you've been waiting for wait outside your door
the pain strikes, the pain ascends
too much to comprehend
come down, remove the breath
come down, remove what's left
loss of the will to live, the loss of everything
i know we'll say goodbye someday
goodbye said in an eternal way
too precious just to throw away
it's a waste, such a waste, what a waste, you know
i can't believe it's happening
the pain strikes, the pain's at hand
too much to understand
wind blow, remove the pain
wind blow, put out the flame
you won't admit to the pain you've submit to
you fight it every inch of the way
you don't deserve this, it's such an injustice
just watching you slip away
you on the other hand - pathetic i reprimand
you for all the things you believe
nobody wants to know what you're up to
Desperate Little You
We've seen the act and it won't do
Helpless Pathetic you
It's always something, It's always something
Stood For Nothing [x4]
Show some pride, show something
You got no heart, you got nothing
Help me stay true so I'll never be like you
Stood for Nothing [x4]
(you stood for nothing)
It's all good I still believe in myself, humanity
It's all good I still believe - that's the way it's gotta be
Stood For Nothing [x3] - Piss in the dirt
I want you to feel it
I want you to mean it
I don't want a closed mind which would
Just bring us down
Hit you right and hit the intellect
Hit you where it has some meaning
Understanding the philosophy
Know and see the fundamental history
86 - 86 Hardcore rebuke
Negative element - turn bad to good
There's so much to offer
So often looked over
Mistaken outsiders just see all the anger
Stay outsiders and stay that way
In your only dimension
We'll enjoy all the benefits
This community will keep it in the family
86 - 86 Hardcore rebuke
Negative element - turn bad to good
Turn bad to good
Foolish action 86 - 86
Macho faction 86 - 86
There's a dunce in the bunch, grab your shit
Hit the bricks
There's a dunce in the bunch, grab your shit
You're 86
Are you self conscious?
Think we're forgiving unneeded schisms?
NO!
Sick Of It All
All you've taken, all forsaken
Where you gonna go?
No one told you how it would be
Helter Skelter, ache for shelter
Stare into the sun
You can look but you wont see
Where are you gonna go?
The rise before the fall
When you're just sick of it all
When you're just sick of it all
Fly so high you're going die
When one has broken wings
No one told you how it would be
The power between the highs and lows drowns yourself again
Its where you find that you're free
Where are you gonna go?
When nothing is left that you know
The rise before the fall
When you're just sick of it all
When you're just sick of it all
When you're just sick of it all
Where are you gonna go?
When nothing is left that you know
The rise before the fall
When you're just sick of it all
When you're just sick of it all
When you're just sick of it all
