"You'd Do The Same"

You think you're oh so different
Well, you'd do the same as me, yeah
You're just a hypocrite
When you make fun of me
You'd do the same
Well, you've done it now
You've blown your ride
Wasting your time
Is all your time
You'd do the same
Don't look down
You'd do the same

"Depleted Uranium Is A War Crime"

[U.S. Representative, Jim McDermott:]
"Depleted Uranium is used on the ends of bullets
and on the ends of shells because it is so hard {that}
almost any armament is vulnerable to something that is tipped with Depleted Uranium."

Woahhh!

In the cities and towns of Afghanistan
In the heart of the Balkans - the heart of Iraq
Not your Grandfather's style of deadly munitions
It's silent and deadly long after the mission

Depleted uranium is a war crime
Depleted uranium is a war crime

Gonna cut through their armor, then cut through your lungs
If you make it home alive you'll still die young
A greedy gang of liars, yeah we've seen it all before
A moneymaking scheme led by war-profiteering whores

Depleted uranium is a war crime
Depleted uranium is a war crime

[U.S. Representative, Jim McDermott:]
"They were throwing it away until they figured out they could use it for armament."

Half Life - 4.5 Billion
Half Life - You'll waste away
Half Life - 4.5 Billion
Half Life - You'll waste a...

We've heard their lies before and we know they're lying again
Feels like a dcj vu of Agent Orange and Vietnam
Weaponry so sadistic it is hard to comprehend
War profits surge with every breath by Uncle Sam

Depleted uranium is a war crime
Depleted uranium is a war crime
Depleted uranium is a war crime

[U.S. Representative, Jim McDermott:]
"We went to a hospital in Southern Iraq,
and a woman was there with a very deformed child and
her husband had been in the Iraqi Army and had been
in the battles in Southern Iraq and
came home and they produced a baby with very severe
malformations... Both the Leukemia rates in children and
malformations at birth had increased by 600%
and it was clearly an epidemic where all this
DU had been dumped... It becomes a dust that can be
inhaled and infect the blood stream and the rest
of the body and it was the opinion of the
doctors there that this was caused by depleted uranium...
They simply saw this as being a direct result of the
war by United States."

Half Life - 4.5 Billion
Half Life - We waste away
Half Life - 4.5 Billion
Half Life - We waste away
Half Life - 4.5 Billion
Half Life - We waste away
Half Life - 4.5 Billion
Half Life - We waste away

[U.S. Representative, Jim McDermott:]
"The doctor said,
'Women {in Iraq} at the time of birth don't ask if
it's a boy or a girl, they ask: Is it normal?'
...The military denies first, and then after the evidence
builds to the point where they can no longer deny,
then they do the research. That's what happened in the
Vietnam era around Agent Orange and I suspect and
I'm worried that that's what will happen this time."

"No Paradise"

Smoke stacks reach the sky
As talk of revolution heats the air
On every city street
In every state the truth stands all too clear
(1,2,3,4!)

The kids are sick and tired of the news today
Sick and tired of all the lies
We want the truth

It isn't going to be no paradise
It isn't going to be no paradise
Forget the claims
It isn't going to be no paradise
Oh no
We need to take the world back now
We need to take control right now

Promises of a better tomorrow
Promises bought on borrowed dollars
No disaster ever looked so great
So what I say
As old men deliver nothing but terror/war
We ask ourselves what are we dying for?

And so the kids are sick and tired of the news today
Sick and tired of all your lies
We want the truth

It isn't going to be no paradise
It isn't going to be no paradise
Forget the claims
It isn't going to be no paradise
Oh no
We need to take the world back now
We need to take control right now

The richest of the rich, dine in fancy chic cafes
Not a worry all their days
The cost of luxury, throughout empires of history
Is vengeance from those empire enslaves

You better hear us now

It isn't going to be no paradise
It isn't going to be no paradise
Forget the claims
It isn't going to be no paradise
It isn't going to be no paradise
Oh no
We need to take the world back now
We need to take control right now

"Oh, Katrina (Interlude)"

With an endless class war, justice will we see?

OH KATRINA WON'T YOU SET US FREE?

We've got soldiers killing in the name of peace.

OH KATRINA WON'T YOU SET US FREE?

As the gas prices rise will they ever seize?

OH KATRINA WON'T YOU SET US FREE?
OH KATRINA WON'T YOU SET US FREE?

"Anthem For The New Millennium Generation"

We stand against every lie they tell.
We fight!
They lie!
Cause if we fall for the spin they sell.
We fight!
We die!

Orwellesque headlines; we have heard it all before.
As the 21st century becomes 1984.

The new millennium generation will kick down their locked doors.
You're going to hear us sing:

We won't go
We won't answer the call
We won't go
We won't answer the call
We know that you're lying;
That you never tell the truth
So we won't go
So we won't go
So we won't go
Anymore
Because we don't believe
No we don't believe

We can't repeat the mistakes of the past
March Off!
To die!
But we can take back control of the world
Take back our lives.
Why should it be the poor to die in combat zones?
While congress and their children sits safe in lavish homes?

The new millennium generation will kick down their locked doors.
They're going to hear us sing:

We won't go
We won't answer the call
We won't go
We won't answer the call
We know that you're lying;
That you never tell the truth
So we won't go
So we won't go
So we won't go
Anymore
No!

We'll stand as one! We'll say
"We will not go!" [x2]
We'll stand as one

We won't go
We won't answer the call
We won't go
We won't answer the call
We know that you're lying;
That you never tell the truth
So we won't go
So we won't go
So we won't go
So we won't go
So we won't go
So we won't go
So we won't go
So we won't go
So we won't go

"Corporate Rock Still Sucks"

The herd marches in to work.
In the black and white uniform.
Dressed for their funeral.
9 to 5 viewing and burial.
The CEO's wrangle'em in.
Through revolving doors.
They brand on corporate logos.
And remove their souls...

Woah, you do what you're told!
Woah, woah, you do what you're told!
DO WHAT YOU'RE TOLD!

At the tallest buildings on the block.
On one way streets the tickers tock.
Another suit is lost,
One more head on the chopping block!

Woah, you do what you're told!
Woah, woah, you do what you're told!
YEAH!

There must be more to this life!
We must be worth more than are work.
Who you are your job won't define,
Another victim of the daily grind!
Another victim of the daily grind!

Woah, you do what you're told!
Woah, woah, you do what you're told!
LET's GO!
Woah, woah, you do what you're told!
Woah, woah, you do what you're told!
Woah, woah, you do what you're told!
DO WHAT YOU'RE TOLD!

"Marc Defiant"

Tougher than a rock,
But kinder than a saint.
Rugger individual, fighting hate.
He's the punkest brah in town-
he's got the back of the kids.
When you fuck with the PUNX,
then you're fucking with...

Marc Defiant [x4]

Only just a teen when he left
home for the city.
Kissed his loving Ma' goodbye
and said "I'm off to be somebody!"
Father's spirit guiding him,
he hooked up with A-F.
He hit the road with THE CODE
and he's never looking back...

He's Marc Defiant.
Marc Defiant [x4]
YEAH!
Marc Defiant.
ALL RIGHT LET's GO!
Marc Defiant [x7]
The Defiant!!
Marc Defiant!!!

"No Borders No Nations (Live)"

I always thought if you want to change the world
Then you have to start with yourself
So if George Bush wants to end terrorism
He should go ahead and kill himself!

I will not sign my blind faith away
To an unjustly leader of the unjust police state
Corporate masters live in their cess pool
Of extreme wealth and excess
Whoa Oh [x2]

The phrase world leaders
Does not describe the heads of state
Those few in power
Work only for the corporate sake
No action, no interest, no humanity at all
As the corporate towers rise up
They watch the people fall

A government untouchable by the people,
Run by the corporations of the world
Enslaving mothers, fathers, sons, and daughters
Profits put before people
Equal force, Equal reaction
Equal suppression, Equal rebellion

I won't sign my blind faith away
To an unjustleader of the unjust police state
Corporate masters live in their lapse pool
Of extreme wealth and excess
Whoa Oh Whoa Oh

The phrase world leaders
Does not describe the heads of state
Those few in power
Work only for the corporate sake
No action, no interest, no humanity at all
As the corporate towers rise up..

We've got to make a change
No religions, sexual preference
And regardless of your race
We've got to make a change
No war, corporate run
Governments, no police state
We've got to make a change
For the good of the human race
We've got to make a change
For the good of the human...

IF YOUR MOTHER FUCKERS DON'T GO CRAY RIGHT NOW
THE FIST OF FURY THAT IS PAT THETIC YOU WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH

No borders, No nations
No flags, No patriots
woah oh, woah oh,

No borders, no nations
No flags, no patriots
woah oh, ARE YOUR READY?, woah oh, LET's GO!

No borders, no nations
No flags, no patriots
woah oh, woah oh, woah oh, woah ohhhhh!

"Good And Ready"

You'll get yours when you're good and ready
You'll get yours and go straight to hell
And when that day comes
You can be good and sure
The day belongs to us

The sign said: "detour"
So I did
And I found myself in a wonderful place
Fields of green
When the wind blows cold
The kind of place one could grow old
Sky opened up (yeah!)
Sun showered down (aww!)
Onto a row of wooden pikes
What an awe inspiring sight

Birds shy on top of them
Puts your head in a beautiful state

You'll get yours when you're good and ready
You'll get yours and go straight to hell
And when that day comes
You can be good and sure
The day belongs to us

Life is a horror show
And baby it will never stop
They tell me to watch my step
I answer back: "You watch your mouth!"
So many stories you have told
You and stories have grown old
SOS who will save our ship?
SOS who gives a shit?
Sinking like a rock with a heart of coal
Sinking like a rock without a soul
Please note, don't underestimate
Cause I'm a cruel motherfucker!

You'll get yours when you're good and ready
You'll get yours and go straight to hell
And when that day comes
You can be good and sure
The day belongs to us

The new dawn starts this day
As strange and savage poetry make up your eulogy
Tables turned around and turned on you
No one sheds a tear
No one loses sleep
You disappear
We fall asleep
You disappear

"The Bright Lights Of America"

16 year old girl
In a hollow carved out place
Just looking for some prettiness,
But the cuts in her arm don't paint for her
A very pretty view

In her mind..
She dreams that she is..
Far away...from..

The bright lights of America, life and death in a sold out 'Erica
To live and die in the heart of America, release your souls
The bright lights of America, life and death in a sold out 'Erica
To live and die in the heart of America, release your souls

A concrete city Hell (city Hell)
Suburbs that never end (just like the ocean)
One parent lives in each of them,
Passed back and forth the tough route to escape both bitter homes

He's just one...
Of desperate ranks..
Who can't break free...from..

The bright lights of America, life and death in a sold out 'Erica
To live and die in the heart of America, release your souls
The bright lights of America, life and death in a sold out 'Erica
To live and die in the heart of America, release your souls

I just want you to know,
That there are whole houses full,
Of fucked up kids like you and me (can't find a way)
So many lost in stride, caught in an endless fight,
To leave this empty ugly place, I'm leaving you at sea!

The bright lights of America, life and death in a sold out 'Erica
To live and die in the heart of America, release your souls
The bright lights of America, life and death in a sold out 'Erica
To live and die in the heart of America, release your souls

The bright lights of America, life and death in a sold out 'Erica
To live and die in the heart of America, release your souls
The bright lights of America, life and death in a sold out 'Erica
To live and die in the heart of America, release your souls

"Vices"

I must again sing my dissent until you're aware
I must again sing my dissent until you're aware

We all have our vices, we all have our flaws
We all have our anger, we all have our love

This is the first set of words that I'll pick to these chords
To identify me and the blood that runs through the veins in my arms
Pumped from my heart
That holds hope in one chamber and hate in the other

We all have our vices, we all have our flaws
We all have our anger we all have our love

Father-less is how I prefer to be known
At 6 years young I was left all on my own
The son of a full time working mother
And a molester for a father who lives in the prison for home

We all have our vices, We all have our flaws
We all have our anger, we all have our love

I must again sing my dissent until you're aware
I must again sing my dissent until you're aware.
Because I can barely breathe with your weight on my chest
And I'm so fucking sick of being ashamed of my own flesh

We all have our vices, We all have our flaws
We all have our anger, we all have our love

We all

"The Modern Rome Burning"

How did we get into this mess?
The question is a hypothetical...
The answers are
Written on the face of the oppressed

Sent to death at just nineteen
Forevermore to be unseen
His mother with tears in her eyes
Crying to god, she calls out "Why?!"

She'll find her answers
On the face of the oppressed

I bow my head in respect
Of the dead

Because we're all bogged down
And there ain't no fucking S.O.S.
That's gonna save our sinking ship
Because we're all bogged down
No, there ain't no fucking S.O.S.
That's gonna save our sinking ship
Our ship

How did we get into this mess?
The question is a bona fide literal
The answers are
Written on the face of the oppressed

We all know the answers why
They sold a lie to build Versailles!
You can roll over and die
Or you can rain down hell tonight!

You'll find your answer
On the face of the oppressed

I bow my head in respect
Of the dead

Because we're all bogged down
And there ain't no fucking S.O.S.
That's gonna save our sinking ship
Because we're all bogged down
No, there ain't no fucking S.O.S.
That's gonna save our sinking ship
Our ship

In the ash of your city lies fertile ground
(In the ash of your city lies fertile ground)
In the ash of your city lies fertile ground
(In the ash of your city lies fertile ground)
This nation's burning, burning down
(This nation's burning, burning down)
This nation's burning to the ground

This is the modern Rome burning
Let it burn

Let it burn
This is the modern Rome burning
Let it burn, let it burn

This is New York burning
This is Boston burning
This is Omaha burning

This is Washington burning
This is Pittsburgh burning
This is Birmingham burning

This is the modern Rome burning
Let it burn, let it burn
Burn, burn

"If You Wanna Steal (You Better Learn How To Lie)"

My father Michael is a genius
He sees this world the way no one can
He brought me up and shaped my mind at the tender youthful age of 9
He said don't take this for the way it is
You better watch out son when you get them (?)
Before you know it the friends you trust will have stabbed you in the back he said

If you wanna steal you better learn how to lie
If you wanna live you better not fear how you die
Heaven and hell are just a myth so you better pay attention to this moment [x2]

There's a Fine line between genius and insanity
Is one he often treads so patiently
While pigs and ghouls would always try to knock the door

A system built to perpetuate
Pushers pushin', dealers dealin' and they can't escape
I got kids at home so pretend there's no living in this race? ....

[Chorus]

Sometimes when my apathy creeps on up from behind me
It reminds me why I moved my TV
Out of the room where I make love
In case I might just look up
And see the sky is falling from above, see it falling from above

[Chorus]

"No Warning"

"Spit In The Face"

How can we be free?
The bloodline of kings in the house of light
Lynch law abiding citizens cashing in their rights
The sky is on fire, the sky is on fire
It's blood red and torching any horizon it desires

Spit in the face of the deceased
Bite down on your tongue and turn the other cheek
Spit in the face of the deceased
Disappear like a ghost when we pass on the street

Spit, spit, spit in the face
No, I don't give a fuck what you think of me
Are we getting anywhere?
I'm getting out of here

How can we be free?
Abandoning the children in the forest to feed ourselves
We will all stay more healthy if we don't distribute wealth
Aimed friendly fire, aimed friendly fire
(Fire!)
There is only greed living the life we desire

Spit in the face of the deceased
Bite down on your tongue and turn the other cheek
Spit in the face of the deceased
Disappear like a ghost when we pass on the street

Spit, spit, spit in the face
No, I don't give a fuck what you think of me
Are we getting anywhere?
I'm getting out of here

Spit in the face of the deceased
Bite down on your tongue and turn the other cheek
Spit in the face of the deceased
Disappear like a ghost when we pass on the street

Spit, spit, spit in the face
No, I don't give a fuck what you think of me
Are we getting anywhere?
I'm getting out of here

As we set sail across a raging sea
(As we set sail across a raging sea)
Unconquerable by reality
(We are unconquerable)
As we set sail across a raging sea
(As we set sail across a raging sea)
Unconquerable by reality
I am infallible, I am untouchable

Spit in the face of the deceased
Bite down on your tongue and turn the other cheek
Spit in the face of the deceased
Disappear like a ghost when we pass on the street

Spit, spit, spit in the face
No, I don't give a fuck what you think of me
Are we getting anywhere?
I'm getting the fuck out of here

"We Are The Lost"

Have you ever been alone?
Transparency...
In the middle of millions of others, but still somehow unseen
She is across the aisle; he's on the floor above.
Your neighbour and every prisoner.
Each station filled with static.
Broadcasting nothing but noise.
Deep inside of each of us

We are the lost, the dead and gone, the seldom seen.
We are the helpless and the hopeless.
That no one wants to see.

Have you ever been drowned?
Transparent sea...
In the water with millions of others, but still somehow unseen.
She is across the aisle;
He's on the floor above.
Your neighbour and every stranger.
Each station filled with static.
Broadcasting nothing but noise.

[Chorus]

Outside we are alive.
Where is the line, the great divide?
Are we dead?
Are we gone?
Are we dead?
Are we moving on?
We may fail to see a change but we're never going to fade away.
We will be seen.

"Go West"

Like a ghost
Emptiness haunted his years
Still his heart was made of nothing less than good
Insecure narration in his head
Something less than schizophrenia
Creeping him with every move that he makes
Breath he takes
A beautiful walk alone
To his empty home
Where he'll lay and he'll sleep by himself

Go west young man
Your future is untold
You can find your dreams on the California coast
Go west young man
Your future isn't too
Far away

She hates me
And I know it because she said so
And I forgot my notebook
And my socialist manifesto
Will it be a tragedy
Or a comedy
The choice is up to you
Life can lead you along on a leash
Or you can break free and run on your own
Don't waste your life
Go and live your life
Like it's the last day here on this earth

Go west young man
Your future is untold
You can find your dreams on the California coast
Go west young man
Your future isn't too
Far away

Don't waste your life
Go live your life
Like it's your last day here on this earth

Go west young man
Your future is untold
You can find your dreams on the California coast
Go west young man
Your future isn't too
Far away

Go west young man
Your future is untold
You can find your dreams on the California coast
Go west!

"The Smartest Bomb"

No they won't miss you when you're gone
When your heart stops beating and pumping blood
Pull the pin, light the fuse, this song's the smartest bomb..

You make your own choices and decisions,
You are invulnerable to influences
SIT DOWN, LINE UP, KNUCKLE DOWN, SHUT UP
An electrifying organized crime,
With planes and boats and suicide
SIT DOWN, LINE UP, KNUCKLE DOWN, SHUT UP

You're so in control
You're so disposable

30 second spot, real life video game
Memory erased, magnet over tape
SIT DOWN-LINE UP-KNUCKLE DOWN-SHUT UP
Get psyched up listen to Godsmack
Dip you toes in the sands of Iraq
SIT DOWN-LINE UP-KNUCKLE DOWN-SHUT UP

You're so in control
You're so disposable

They won't miss you when you're gone
When your heart stops beating and pumping blood
Pull the pin, light the fuse, this song's the smartest bomb

You're so in control
You're so disposable

They won't miss you when you're gone
When your heart stops beating and pumping blood
Pull the pin, light the fuse, this song's the smartest bomb

Every day we've been taught to follow
Every day lettered to live one way
There is no one left to acknowledge
There is nothing left to say
Every day we've been taught to follow
Every day lettered to live one way
There is nothing left to mention
There is nothing left to say

KILL TONIGHT
Will you follow?
[x8]

No they won't miss you when you're gone
When your heart stops beating and pumping blood
Pull the pin, light the fuse, this song's the smartest bomb

"Shadow Of The Dead"

Tonight, tonight, tonight...
I'm gonna stay awake.
Safe inside this trojan horse until day breaks.
Open it up, tear it up, fuck it up...
In the streets runs a river knee deep.
Hidden in the blood of our own lies the alphabet of the free.

As i walk through the valley in the shadow of the dead, will you remember them?

Ce soir, ce soir, ce soir. je vais rester reveille.
There is no extinguishing the resistance you betray.
The marquis, zapatista, white rose.
Can we see the end of a battle unheard?
For every name in history there are a thousand more interred.

And i can't believe my own eyes. i've seen this sight 100 times.
We will be sovereign in the water
In the shadow of the dead.
Still no one remembers them.
We will be free in the cold of the shadow of the dead.
Oh, you will remember then.

As i walk through the valley in the shadow of the dead, will you remember them?

"The Ink And The Quill (Be Afraid)"

The water turned black and it's just getting darker.
So be afraid, be afraid, be very afraid of the coming nightmare.
The neo-christian theocrats pray on a Sunday afternoon
Then welcome in Pinochet's men to intimidate and kill.
All that we know, all that we know is
Be afraid, be afraid...be very afraid of the coming nightmare.
So filled with exhilaration and feels like intoxication.
There's nothing like a firefight to get your blood pumping.
We get off to the rhythm of the trigger and destruction.
Fallujah to New Orleans with impunity to kill.
We are the hidden fist of the free market.
We are the ink, we are the quill.
What have you learned through the years?
What have you learned from your fears?
Water tastes like arsenic - feel it pumpking coursing in your blood.
Your throat gets tight, you can't quite breathe. room spinning - kiss your ass goodbye.
Now you're off, you've been taken on a ride.
We've been sold, been sold a bill of lies.
There's a storm cloud gathering overhead.
Ominous, black, reigning hell. when it drops jackboot down on your streets.
You're gonna pray like hell that you're armed to the teeth.
Built on a corporate welfare scam.
Rumsfield doctrine stealing wealth.
Profits to saccharine sweet, the wall street bankers weep.
As the storm gains strength the aging levees break.
The ancient ground does quake.
And your lungs will fill your spineless apathy.

"Tar And Sagebrush"

(Rollin?)

If you utter a sound
Don't make a move
We'll kill you
Then they gathered around me
One man took my right arm
And another man took my left
When the third man grabbed the front of my coat
Then thrown in to an automobile we go

Oh I wish
I could describe
The terror in that 20 mile ride
Oh I wish
I could describe
The terror in the beautiful California moonlight

In an auto with six man and chauffeur
Yeah these Christian patriots
They put fingers in my eyes and nose
As they subjected me to torture
Yeah the torture that a good fearing man
Is capable of conceiving

Oh I wish
I could describe
The terror in that 20 mile ride
Oh I wish
I could describe
The terror in the beautiful California moonlight

You won't kiss the American flag
Well by god we'll make you
We'll ram it down your throat
Sing the Star Spangled Banner with feeling

They put their autos together
So the lamp set a sickly stage light
Fourteen defenders of this country
All commanding me to undress
They poured tar over my body and hair
In the absence of feathers they rubbed sagebrush instead

Oh I wish
I could describe
The terror in that 20 mile ride
Oh I wish
I could describe
The terror in the beautiful California moonlight

My suffering was terrible
But my greatest pain was over you

"Sodom, Gomorrah, Washington D.C. (Sheep In Shepherd's Clothing)"

Nailed to the cross, dead for collective sin.
We decide where, why, who, and when.
Build our bibles to ONLY include the things
we believe to be divine and true.
This is our right.
This is our life.
Everyone homogenized.
Sodom, Gomorrah, Washington D.C.

Smited into oblivion with blood, wrath, and disease.
Sheep in shepherd's clothing.
Allah, Jesus, Muhammad.
Their words have way more in common
than than the Midwest or the Middle East like to preach.
It's a tragedy.
It's a strategy.
To prey on contrast to not indulge fact.
Divide, conquer, subcontract.
The scriptures blind followers read are not as cryptic as they seem.

The pages serve the sick and poor,
not to serve the capitalists of endless war.
Religion is the opium of the meek.

"The Economy Is Suffering, Let It Die"

I've seen a lot of rip-offs in my life.
Seen a lot of scams.
A lot of crooks and crooked schemes, crooked sharks.
Part one of the story reads...
The liquor store thief.
The stick up man.
Thrown into the clink,
never coming back until the day he's grey and old.
I seen a lot of rip-offs in my life.

The rip-offs of the old and the young, the weak, the sick,
the never known.
Stabbed repeatedly in the back by the Wall Street suit.
The Washington hack.
Lining up their pockets with the people's cash and...

Laughing all the way to the bank.
Do you want to live your life as a slave?
In chains from the cradle to the grave.
The economy is suffering, let it die...
I seen a lot of bailouts in my life.
But where are the bailouts for the homeless and the poor?
And while we're on the subject
I could use a few bucks for a guitar amp.
A new six string, and a tank of gas.
Everything that I want...

We're so fucked and we don't give a fuck, no.
We're so fucked, but no we just don't care, no.
We're so fucked, this world is shit out of luck
and we don't give a fuck.

When the cities burn down we'll all be warm.
When the cities burn down we'll all keep warm.
When the cities burn down we'll all be warm.

"The Gre(a)t Depression"

Close your eyes and shield your ears.
Shut your mouth and conceal all your fears.
Greed it's not going anywhere.
They should put that on a billboard in Times Square
It could say "The great depression is over my friends."
What we want and what we need engineered.
I can smell the bullshit right from here.
Because greed it's not going anywhere.
They should put that on a billboard in Times Square
It could say "The great depression is over my friends."
Blinding your eyes, burning your ears.
T.V. images are selling.
Through the static on the radio you can't hear.
One pill if you're too big (Your ass is too big).
One pill if you're too small (your dick is too small).
On one your life is a mess.
On one you're nothing at all.
I hate a song that makes you think you are no good.

I hate a song that makes you think you are just born to lose.
Bound to lose.
No good to nobody.
Too young or too fat or too this or too that.

"We Are The One"

It's time to make a move,
Change the times or they'll change you.
False promises of more.
Check that shit at the door.
We're the ones we've been waiting for.
We are the one...Unified under none.
We are the one...The one to carry on.
Warfare is everywhere.
Poisoned land, water, air.
This routine is long old.
It's time to break that mold.
We'll break it up, then we'll break out.
Withstand the change.
Tear it down rebuild again.
Evolve with vision.
This year's eve, we will breathe fury.
I will scale the city walls.
