Obedience
01:24
|
|||
|
Provoked by hatred, driven by fear
You’re manipulated to adhere
Made into a shill, they bend your will
With a yank of a lease you’re made to heel
Give hardships a name, scapegoats to blame
A slogan to proclaim, they have you trained
Pissin’ in your sheets like dog in heat
An endless cycle that we’re doomed to repeat
They induce contempt
And make you subservient
Your hatred is allegiance
And your fear is obedience
The divisions that they dictate
Only serves to segregate
If they distract us with disunity
They can operate with impunity
I’ll proudly be a deviant, because fear is obedience
Fear is obedience

Deep Shit
01:29
|
|||
|
There’s a constant dread hanging over our heads
And something tells me we’re gonna wind up dead
Going head first down a bottomless pit
Believe me, we’re in deep shit
We deserve just what we get
And we’re in deep shit
Continual conflict, nuclear threats
Counting down to our impeding death
We deserve just what we get
Believe me, we’re in deep shit
They’re run and hide, we’ll pay the price
Believe me, we’re in deep, deep shit

Cut Me Loose
01:46
|
|||
|
Brain scrambled, flying off the handle
On the attack, ready to snap
Overload, ready to explode
About to burst, so do your worst
Hit the striker, spark the primer
Then step back, brace for impact
Set me off, give me an excuse
Light my fuse, cut me loose
Set me off, I need an excuse
Light my fuse, cut me loose
Bite off more than you can chew
And I’ll beat you black and blue
Set me off, give me an excuse
Light my fuse, cut me loose

86'd
01:10
|
|||
|
We've known all along we don't belong
When our time is up we just move along
Setting ourselves up to be shut down
Driven out of town, they don't want us around
It's over just as soon as it begins
It's not a matter of if, it's when
Once again, we've been 86’d
We just can't resist
To add our names to another blacklist
Once again, we’ve been 86’d
For better or for worse, we are a curse
Our very existence is perverse
We can't be contained, won’t be tamed
Our tattered legacy is bloodstained

Blind Deaf & Dumb
01:06
|
|||
|
Bursting with bullshit, shoved down our throats
Struggling to swallow, before we choke
Lifeless, listless bags of bile and piss
Waste of space, disgrace, you serve no purpose
Death is routine, we’ve grown numb
Blind, deaf, and dumb is what we’ve become
Stand by, watch each other die
Always ready to comply
Stay numb, blind deaf and dumb
And you just stay pacified
Stand by, watch each other die
And you just idly abide
Stay numb, blind deaf and dumb
And never seem to wonder why
Show no interest, only indifference
Blind, deaf, and dumb is what we’ve become
Blind, deaf, and dumb
Just a doormat, lethargic carpet
Blind, deaf, and dumb is what we’ve become
Blind, deaf, and dumb

Not Dead Yet
01:30
|
|||
|
A life sentence handed down at birth
My own timer’s ticking to my death bed
I need an expiration date on this shit hole earth
Like I need another hole in my head
No way to prevent it, my fate is set
I’m still not dead yet
No regrets, no time to lament
Because I’m still not dead yet
Death is encroaching rapidly approaching
But I still have some time left
Just another year on this sphere
Another beer before I disappear
Because I’m still not dead yet
We all dance with death, so don’t hold your breath
Because I’m still not dead yet

Drown Them Out
00:45
|
|||
|
Talk and talk they never stop
And all you do is stand and gawk
And you can bet that any chance they get
They inundate us with their horse shit
Stupid and loud
They never shut their mouth
But if we scream and shout
We can drown them out
Only half a brain
Giving us a bad name
If we scream and shout
We can drown them out
It’s all we can do to shut them down
Before they turn into a crowd
And they spread their messages of hate
Before they’re accepted and embraced
|
||||
8. |
||||
|
So it begins, the beginning of the end
Hate has reared it’s ugly head again
Mark my word, they’ve announced their return
With straight arm salutes and crosses burned
This time around, we’ll chase em down
We’ve got ‘em, we’ve got em on the run
Things will change, once they’re in their graves
When we finally make amends, never again
Make no mistake, they’ll treat us like ingrates
Because we reject a legacy of hate
This will be the sound when we bring it all down
When we burn their empire to the ground
This will be the sound when we bring it all down
When we burn their empire to the ground
This time around, we’ll chase em down
We’ve got ‘em, we’ve got em on the run

Hate Your Guts
01:59
|
|||
|
Defy, defile, spit in your face and smile
The things you detest is what I like best
I confess, I wanna fuck up your world
Turn what's clean obscene
Watch it all come unfurled
Under duress
Suffocated, suppressed
A lifetime of indoctrination
Mental incarceration
You'll never get my obedience
I'll never pledge my allegiance
All ties are cut
I hate your guts
We are born innocent, before we’re made indolent
Stifled at birth and robbed of our worth
I live and breathe, to see those ideals bleed
Resist and reject it, until I'm rotten and decrepit
I relish in your disgust, feed on your mistrust
All ties are cut, I hate your guts
I'm your enemy, you'll never get rid of me
Born to disrupt, I hate your guts
You’re ornery, weak, about to be extinct
Depraved and corrupt, I hate your guts

Iron Triangle
01:15
|
|||
|
War is business and business is great
With the demand that they create
They just invent another enemy
And death becomes a commodity
It’s the Iron Triangle
The military industrial complex
Have become merchants of death
Rig legislation, sell devastation
Then they call it a day and take a paid vacation
Defense companies form PAC lobbies
They fund congressional candidacies
They buy an office, a seat in congress
Trade favors with the bureaucracy
They’ve found a loop hole around democracy
We finance their weapons contracts
They build their empire with our income tax
They sell the rockets, line their pockets
And turn war into a profit

Open And Shut
01:22
|
|||
|
There’s a law for them and a law for us
Corruption, obstruction, no chance of justice
As long as they have deep pockets
There’s nothing they can’t fix
Systematic, bureaucratic, just a slap on the wrist
They can’t get caught when freedom can be bought
For the corrupt, it’s open and shut
Another racketeer, their problems disappear
For the corrupt, it’s open and shut
It’s just open and shut, open and shut
There’s a law for them and a law for us
Corruption, obstruction, no chance of justice
There’s always someone dirty out to make a quick buck
And for the corrupt it’s just open and shut

What Did You Expect
00:52
|
|||
|
Mislead, deceive
You’re naive enough to believe
And they betray
It’s the same bullshit, just a different day
They pander their slander
And you clamor to wave their banner
Just another sucker
You bought the con just like the others
What the fuck did you expect
Did you think it’d be different?
They played you like an idiot
You fell for the same old shit
You fell for the same old shit
What the fuck did you expect?

Turn To Dust
02:01
|
|||
|
There will come a day when this all goes away
Our world will deteriorate, disintegrate
The human race will be erased
All you’re worth will die with the earth
Ours brains, our guts are meaningless
It’s the end of us, return to nothingness
Everything we know will be crushed
Everything we are, it all turns to dust
It’s arrogant to think we are permanent
Our short stint is insignificant
Ours brains and our guts are meaningless
It’s the end of us, return to nothingness
It won’t last, so here’s your chance
Let’s go wild, make it worth your while
Do you think you’re civilized
Devised by divine intelligence
Just ocean sludge walking upright
Our existence is insignificant
