Tracks



01. Voices

Music & lyrics by Disturbed
So, are you breathing
Now, now?
Are you breathing
So, are you breathing
Now?

[x2]
Wake up, are you alive, will you listen to me?
I'm gonna talk about some freaky shit now
Someone is gonna die when you listen to me
Let the living die, Let the living die
(say)

[Chorus:]
Are you breathing, now?
Do the wicked see you?
You still breathing?
You're making me known
Are you breathing, now?
Do the wicked see you?
You still breathing?

[x2]
What's up? I wonder, why do you listen to me?
I'm gonna make you do some freaky shit now
Inside, you're gonna die When you listen to me
Let the living die, let the living die
(say)

[Chorus]

Can't you imagine how good this will make you feel?
I promise you, no one will ever know
There will be no chance of you getting caught
They never loved you anyway
So come on, be a man
And do what you are compelled to do
Save Me God! [x10]

I can hear the voice But I don't want to listen
Strap me down and tell me I'll be alright
I can feel the subliminal need to be one with the voice
And make everything go
I can hear the voice But I don't want to listen
Strap me down and tell me I'll be alright
I can feel the subliminal need to be one with the voice
And make everything go right

[Chorus]

So, are you breathing? So, do you breathe now, now?
So, are you breathing? So, do you breathe now?

02. The Game

Music & lyrics by Disturbed
Tell me exactly, what am I supposed to do?
Now that I have allowed you to beat me
Do you think that we could play another game?
Maybe I can win this time?
I kind of like the misery you put me through
Darling, you can't trust me completely
If you even try to look the other way,
I think that I could kill this time

Rah! Rah! [x2]

It doesn't really seem I'm getting through to you
Though I see you weeping so sweetly
I think that you might have to take another taste,
A little bit of hell this time

Rah! Rah!
Lied to me!
Rah! Rah!
Lied to me!

Is she not right?
Is she insane?
Will she now run for her life
In the battle that ends this day?
Is she not right?!
Is she insane?!
Will she now run for her life
Now that she LIED TO ME!

You always wanted people to remember you
You leave your little mark on society!
Don't you know your wish is coming true today?
Another victim dies tonight

Rah! Rah!
Lied to me!
Rah! Rah!
Lied to me!

Is she not right?
Is she insane?
Will she now run for her life
In the battle that ends this day?
Is she not right?!
Is she insane?!
Will she now run for her life
Now that she LIED TO ME!

Rum bedin dum bum ba didna!
Rum bedin dum bum ba din do!
Rum bedin dum bum ba didna!
Rum bedin dum bum ba din do!
[all x3]

Is she really telling lies again?
Doesn't she realize she's in danger?

Is she not right?
Is she insane?
Will she now run for her life
In the battle that ends this day?
Is she not right?!
Is she insane?!
Will she now run for her life
Now that she lied to me!

The little bitch, she went and she told a lie!
Now she will never tell another a-lie!
The little bitch, she went and she told a lie!
Never fucking lie to me!

03. Stupify

Music & lyrics by Disturbed
Yeah, bringing you another disturbing creation
From the mind of one sick cat who can't tell the difference
And gets stupified

I've been waiting my whole life for just one fuck
And all I needed was just one fuck
How can you say that you don't give a fuck
I find myself stupified, coming back again
All I wanted was just one fuck
One tiny little innocent fuck
And when I feel like I'm shit out of luck
I find myself stupified, coming back again

Why do you like playing around with
My narrow scope of reality
I can feel it all start slipping
I think I'm breaking down
Why do you like playing around with
My narrow scope of reality
I can feel it all start slipping away

See but I don't get it
Don't you think maybe we could put it on credit
Don't you think it can take control when I don't let it
I get stupified
It's all the same you say
Live with it
But I don't get it
Don't you think maybe we could put it on credit
Don't you think it can take control when I don't let it
I get stupified [x2]

All the people in the left wing: rock
And all the people in the right wing: rock
And all the people in the underground: rock
I find myself stupified, coming back again
All the people in the high rise: rock
And all the people in the projects: rock
And all la gente in the barrio: rock
I find myself stupified, coming back again

Why do you like playing around with
My narrow scope of reality
I can feel it all start slipping
I think I'm breaking down
Why do you like playing around with
My narrow scope of reality
I can feel it all start slipping away

See but I don't get it
Don't you think maybe we could put it on credit
Don't you think it can take control when I don't let it
I get stupified
It's all the same you say
Live with it
But I don't get it
Don't you think maybe we could put it on credit
Don't you think it can take control when I don't let it
I get stupified [x2]

[Hebrew:] Tefached [x2]
[English translation: "Be scared"]

And don't deny me
No baby now, don't deny me
And darlin' don't be afraid...

But I don't get it
Don't you think maybe we could put it on credit
Don't you think it can take control when I don't let it
I get stupified

Look in my face, stare in my soul I begin to stupify! Rah! [x4]
Look in my face, stare in my soul [x4]
Look in my face, then look in my soul! [x3]
I begin to stupify!
Rah!

04. Down With the Sickness

Music & lyrics by Disturbed
Can you feel that?
Ah, shit

Drowning deep in my sea of loathing
Broken your servant I kneel
(Will you give in to me?)
It seems what's left of my human side
Is slowly changing in me
(Will you give in to me?)

Looking at my own reflection
When suddenly it changes
Violently it changes (oh no)
There is no turning back now
You've woken up the demon in me

[Chorus:]
Get up, come on get down with the sickness [x3]
Open up your hate, and let it flow into me
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
You mother get up come on get down with the sickness
You fucker get up come on get down with the sickness
Madness is the gift that has been given to me

I can see inside you, the sickness is rising
Don't try to deny what you feel
(Will you give in to me?)
It seems that all that was good has died
And is decaying in me
(Will you give in to me?)

It seems you're having some trouble
In dealing with these changes
Living with these changes (oh no)
The world is a scary place
Now that you've woken up the demon in me

[Chorus]

(And when I dream) [x4]
No mommy, don't do it again
Don't do it again
I'll be a good boy
I'll be a good boy, I promise
No mommy don't hit me
Why did you have to hit me like that, mommy?
Don't do it, you're hurting me
Why did you have to be such a bitch
Why don't you,
Why don't you just fuck off and die
Why can't you just fuck off and die
Why can't you just leave here and die
Never stick your hand in my face again bitch
Fuck you
I don't need this shit
You stupid sadistic abusive fucking whore
How would you like to see how it feels mommy
Here it comes, get ready to die

Get up, come on get down with the sickness [x3]
Open up your hate, and let it flow into me
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
You mother get up come on get down with the sickness
You fucker get up come on get down with the sickness
Madness has now come over me

05. Violence Fetish

Music & lyrics by Disturbed
Bring the violence, it's significant
To the life, if you've ever known anyone
Bring the violence, it's significant
To the life
Can you feel it?

How do you sleep
When you live with your lies
Out of your mouth
Up from your mind
That kind of thinking
Starts a chain reaction
You are a timebomb ticking away
You need to release
What you're feeling inside
Let out the beast
That you're trying to hide
Step right up and be a part of the action
Get your game face on
Because it's time to play

You're pushing and fighting your way
You're ripping it up

Bring the violence, it's significant
To the life, if you've ever known anyone
Bring the violence, it's significant
To the life
Can you feel it?

How do you live without playing the game
Sit on the side and expect to keep sane
Step right up and be a part of the action
Come get a piece of it before it's too late
Take a look around
You can't deny what you see
Were living in a violent society
Well my brother let me show you a better way
So get your game face on because it's time to play

You're pushing and fighting your way
You're ripping it up

Bring the violence, it's significant
To the life, if you've ever known anyone
Bring the violence, it's significant
To the life
Can you feel it?

So tell me what am I supposed to be?
Another goddamn drone?
Tell me what am I supposed to be
Should I leave it on the inside?

Should I get ready to play
You're pushing and fighting your way
You're ripping it up

Bring the violence, it's significant
To the life, if you've ever known anyone
Bring the violence, it's significant
To the life
Can you feel it?

06. Fear

Music & lyrics by Disturbed
Fear something again [3x]

Reject, are you no one?
Fear you nothing?
You know I'll bet you think you have a good reason
To be living
In the limelight
Of the fortunate ones
You're too weakened
By the poison
That they feed you
In the living lie, they don't believe you,
Call to no one
Trust in nothing
Little impotent one

I don't want to be [x3]
I don't want to be innocent, you know
I don't want to be [x3]
I don't want to let them hypnotize me
I don't want to be [x3]
I don't want innocence, you know
I don't want to be [x3]
I don't want to let them hypnotize me

Punk ass,
Are you listening?
Can you hear me?
Or are you deaf and dumb to my language
Do the real words
Seem to hurt you
Well put em' up motherfucker
Gonna feel it
When I stamp it
On your forehead
So you will never forget
That you're a reject
And you're no one
And you're nothing
Little impotent one

I don't want to be [x3]
I don't want to be innocent, you know
I don't want to be [x3]
I don't want to let them hypnotize me
I don't want to be [x3]
I don't want innocence, you know
I don't want to be [x3]
I don't want to let them hypnotize me

Fear awaken
Go with it now
And let it overcome you
Fear awaken
Your mind is racing

I don't understand why you don't like me
Why don't you like me?
Am I so different from you
Now does it scare you that I'm able to discern
What to love and what to burn
I'm adding fuel to the fire now
Stand back, brother take your hand back
Leave it and I might crack
Another smile or two you see
You don't judge what you don't understand
You can't deny what has been given to me

I don't want to be [x3]
I don't want to be innocent, you know
I don't want to be [x3]
I don't want to let them hypnotize me
I don't want to be [x3]
I don't want innocence, you know
I don't want to be [x3]
I don't want to let them hypnotize me

Fear awaken
Go with it now
And let it overcome you
Fear awaken
Your mind is racing

Erasing now!

Hey reject,
Are you no one?
Fear you nothing?
You know I bet you think you have a good reason
To be living
In the limelight
Of the fortunate ones, you know

07. Numb

Music & lyrics by Disturbed
Bleeding now I'm
Crying out I'm
Falling down and I'm
Feeling nothing like
Laughing now I'm
Stopping now I'm
Reaching out and I'm
Feeling nothing

Yeah, you have created a rift within me
Now there have been several complications
That have left me feeling nothing
I might say, you were wrong to take it from me
Left me feeling nothing

Crawling now I'm
Beaten down I'm
Tortured now and I'm
Feeling nothing like
Hunting now I'm
Stalking now I'm
Reaching out and I'm
Killing nothing

I can feel you ripping and tearing
Feeding and growing inside of me
I want this, more than you know
I need this, give it back to me

08. Want

Music & lyrics by Disturbed
Your mind wont let you see that you want me
Your mind wont ever, never let you see what you want
You howl and wail like a banshee
Still your mind wont ever let you say
Your mind wont let you see that you want me
Your mind wont ever, never let you see what you want
My little tired devotee
Your mind wont even let you feel

Quivering now, shivering now, withering
Your mind wont let you say that you're
Wondering now, pondering now, hungering
Won't let you say that you're
Questioning, wavering, weakening
You mind wont let you say that you're
Hearkening, listening, heeding me now
Wont let you see that you want

Your mind wont let you see that you want me
Your mind wont ever, never let you have what you want
I feel your hunger to taste me
Still your mind wont ever let you say
Your kind is just the type that should use me
But your mind wont seem to let you have
The opportunity to abuse me, abuse me
Your mind wont even let you feel

Savor the addiction, savor the affliction
Savor me

09. Conflict

Music & lyrics by Disturbed
You are, enemy
You are my hated enemy
I am enemy
Number one rated enemy
I'm a labelled enemy
I am your mortal enemy
My actions, enemy
Make me your bitter enemy

All the world around enemy
They're tearing up the ground enemy
They're drawn in by the sound
Enemy, enemy, I must eliminate my Enemy

Your people, enemy
My people's hated enemy
What are you, enemy
Though a created enemy
Terminate the, enemy
Eradicate the hated enemy
I am an enemy
My very greatest enemy

You try to tell me that you love life
Then find another way to kill life

Wanting... love life
Oh, Needing... kill life
Wanting... love life
Oh, Needing... kill life
Enemy

10. Shout 2000

Music by Tears for Fears
Lyrics by Roland Orzabal & Ian Stanley
(Shout shout)
Let it all out
These are the things I can do without
(Come on)
I'm talking to you
(So come on)
[repeat]

In violent times...
You shouldn't have to sever your soul
In black and white...
They really really ought to know
(just don't know)
Those one-track minds...
Who took you for a working whore
Kiss them goodbye...
You shouldn't have to jump for joy
(jump jump jump jump jump)

You shouldn't have to (shout) for joy (shout)

They give you life...
And in return you gave them hell
As cold as ice (now with your ice ice baby)
I hope we live to tell the tale
I hope we live to (shout) the tale (shout)

Will you never shout
I feel as though you're never gonna let it all out
Will you never shout?
I feel as though I know you're never gonna let it

And when you've taken down your guard...
If I could change your mind...
I'd really love to break your heart
(break break break break break)

I'd really love to (shout) your heart (shout)

I'd really love to
(shout shout)

Come on let me shout shout let me
Come on let me shout shout
Come on let me shout shout let me
Come on let me shout shout

11. Droppin' Plates

Music & lyrics by Disturbed
Here we go again, get up
A little somethin' for your earhole, get up
Baring a part of my soul again, get up
Disturbed in the house, were droppin' plates

You said it couldn't be done
Told me that it's the kind of battle
That just couldn't be won, you know
You're too sick, too hard, too fucked in the head
You'll never make it, no, not in this lifetime
Well guess again my friend
Don't act suprised
We got the bass drum kick
That will blow out your eyes
Cause when you hear this shit
You'll get to steppin'
Gonna fight the war
And use my music as a weapon

You know I'm talkin' bout Recognition
You know I'm talkin' bout Vindication

Another goddamn slap in the face
Don't wanna give us a place
Are you afraid?

Well fear this,
Cause I'm breakin' through the walls of your nightmare
Wake up time to die
The way I'm livin' there is no compromising it
Better get ready for
Another suprise and it may leave a mark
Because I'm coming fast
Plantin' thoughts in your mind
And droppin' plates on your ass

Well here I come
I'm droppin' plates on your ass

Well here I come
I'm droppin' plates on your ass bitch
You never mind and you don't need this
Well here I come
I'm droppin plates on your ass bitch
You never mind and you don't need

Well on your mark, here we go again
Well never mind cause you're not number one
You're too hardened from the other side
I think it's time to bring it home again
Right to me

12. Meaning of Life

Music & lyrics by Disturbed
Get psycho, I wanna get psycho
Get psycho, I want I want I want I want,

I wanna get psycho
Run you little bitch
I want your power glowing, juicy flowing, red hot, meaning of life
It's not enough to have a little taste
I want the whole damn thing now
Can you dig it?

Need to get psycho
Wanna hear you say it
Say, you want it, need it
Don't wanna wait until we finish the show
It's not enough, you hunger for more
You're one twisted little fuck
And now you wanna get psycho with me

[x4]
Give in, give in, decide, give in,

Get psycho, I wanna get psycho
Get psycho, I want I want I want I want,

I want to get psycho
Scratch my itch
Give me your power glowing, juicy flowing red hot, meaning of life
It's not enough to have a little piece
I want the whole damn thing now
Can you dig it?

Need to get psycho
Wanna hear you scream
Tell me to take you, scare you, fuck you
After we finish the show
It's not enough, you listening whore?
You're one twisted little fuck
And now you wanna get psycho with me

[x4]
Give in, give in, decide, give in,

I can feel the blood, flowing through my veins
Spilling on my soul
And now the hunger's getting bigger
Come a little closer now pretentious whore and pull my trigger
Free the violence that is building in me
I say now end of the ride, murder suicide
Is how I've been feelin' lately
Come a little closer my pretentious whore I'm reeling with a feeling that I can't ignore
Come a little closer my pretentious whore I'm reeling with a feeling that I can't ignore
Come a little closer my pretentious whore I'm reeling with a feeling that i can't (ignore)
And the need to get psycho is not a question to me

[6x]
Get, get, get, get, get psycho
I wanna get psycho

I wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna

19. A Welcome Burden

Heavy! You want it heavy!
Welcome to my world, feel the weight of it grinding down, and
Heavy! I want it heavy!
Welcome to my world, feel the weight of it grinding down again

Gather your pathetic masses and bring them to me
To a world devoid of light
To another time, to another place
And let the broken ones taste my misery
Rip away her disguise and you will realize that ya find
The truth is sickening!
We don't need to change it, really
I kind of like it ugly!

Leave it! Make it!
Binding! Seething! Blinding! Screaming!

Gather your psychotic masses and bring them to me
To a world devoid of sanity
Another time, and another place
And let the violent ones crave calamity
Rip away her disguise and you will realize that ya find
The truth is sickening!
We don't need to change it, really
I kind of like it ugly!

The race of the Mother Culture is thickening!
The rape of the Mother Culture is nearing!
The face of the Mother Culture is sickening!
The rape of a Mother is the loving I need
Bleeding now - 1! 2! 3! 4!
