How 'bout we get a little honest with ourselves
Let's start to think! We're only flaunting our lack of respect When we argue over opinions You! You talk like it's a fact I wish you could just listen to yourself and your... Opinions! From the way that you talk (Opinionate!) You'd think your word was law A preference cannot be wrong nor right But it's wrong to try and dispute tastes There's so many reasons we all use to form opinions You see we've got the right to each hold a point of view Why fight each other, it's all in vain respect's the key But we argue blind, each thinking he is right We are all at fault, you know it's true Our simple free will is completely ignored Damned to ignorance, what will we do now?! We've all got enough problems, why add to the strain? A no-win situation is what we have on our hands Over and over and over and over We prove the fact that we can't think Living one mulish day at a time Convinced that our shit doesn't stink! Yeah! This song is food for thought, we're all starving To change your standpoint is not so alarming The usual result of change is growth What's your opinion we'd like to know! Opinionate! Opinionate! Opinionate! Opinionate! Opinionate! Opinionate! Now! 02. In The Mean Time
Playing Hitler with defenseless pets
As far as I'm concerned there's no excuse I wouldn't be surprised if you were taking bets On just how much the poor creatures can take of your Abuse! The prisons are full, spilling over with pigs Put them to use for all your research Any damn machine can make a license plate But finding cure for AIDS and cancer is not as easy We're living in the mean time Efficiency is no crime! Why don't you get it straight before it's too late! Relieve those crowded jails, redefine the word "bail" Take those sentenced to life put them under your knife! There's no better answer! Kill one bird with one stone, the other leave alone Stop destroying animals, this choice is logical Use humans for your tests, the results will prove best! I'm sure this proposal must seem quite radical But all parties concerned will benefit, you'll learn That's if we awake in time to correct our... Mistake! 03. Rebel Without A Brain
You anger me beyond belief
Lying for the sake of lying Right to my face As if I were as pathetically simple as yourself Using anything and everything for an excuse You're twisting logical reasoning tight in a knot Twist it! Boycotting thought before action You're so damn self-assured Further strangled by the results Of your modified truth Rebel without a brain Rebel What makes you think that lying's cool?! Deception's noose keeps on tightening Around your neck Haunting you now are the loose ends You neglected to check Your life is your mind's fabrication You're living a lie Why not give the truth a small chance? Hell would freeze before you'd try! 04. King In Exile
I have lived a life of wealth and splendor
Anything I wanted I could easily buy (Locked away) from the games that you play (Beg beg) every minute of every day (Day to day) I'm carefree that's more than you can say Much more than you can say Prince to pauper was my decision Discarding everything I had ever owned (Take a look) where's my self respect? (In exile) with all of my worries (I don't care) if I'm a burden to society Proclaiming selfish, careless freedom You're blind to the worth of life! There's pride to be found in accomplishing Something you've strived for! So try and redefine your outlook! Get a job! Get a job! It just might save your life! Get a job! Get a job! Get a job! Get a job! Get a job! Get a job! You worthless slob! 05. Face The Fat Reality / Outro
Your chart shows, truth you soundly deny
The stars hold, your life's blueprints You smirk and pass them by You just pass them by (You're a) velvet hand inside an iron glove Alone there, praising the very thoughts you're Thinking of Your veil of charm is pulled back For all within sight To gaze upon in surprise I'm staring with delight! You cannot change your fate! No! Selfish anger on your face Oh stop it, you're breaking my heart! You love the fine art of disgrace But not when it's cast in your part! You should have listened up, and seen your faults Narcissism gets you nowhere at all! Nowhere at all! 06. I Too Eye
She's dynamite in bed, isn't that what's in your head?!
I see your hungry smile, you make me sicker all the while! I'm gonna tell you what it's all about The truth of the matter is You're like a roach who sees a scrap of food I call it rude, yeah! Your middle-aged fantasies, hopeless attempts at ecstasy So keep your eyes in your head, you know damn well She ain't winding up in your bed! Now I must honestly tell That I have done it as well You go through these things in life But you, I can't understand I'm just a kid, you're a man What about your wife?! You call yourself adult You're just adulterous! Can't you... I too eye You never will... see eye to eye See eye too eye It's too late to... see eye to eye You'd go and throw it all away Just for a lousy lay Unbelievable Tell me is it worth all the sweat? Only to wake up in regret Or is your conscience simply dead?! 07. Diplomatic Immunity
You get away with murder
Self-righteous in a foriegn land It must be quite an intense feeling To have an entire nation in the palm of your hand Your rights are so wrong An insult to every citizen We're all subject to this injustice Your immunity must meet its end! If you're to live here, you can't live above the law Doesn't that make sense?! Yet you do, what good then is democracy for If we're not all equal?! Yeah, I know you only work here But I know what your job entails Go maintain relations from your homeland Just use a phone or try the mail! Get out of our hair! 08. Process Of Assimilation
Process of assimilation
You're the one who used to say "My goals will never change, However long they take to reach!" "I'm no feather in the wind I'll triumph with a grin" You spoke with such conviction Process of assimilation How quickly you changed your tune When time gave you room To grow toward your desires You claimed "change" helped you mature Believe me I was sure That you were trying to convince yourself Your problem, I thought, was a weak frame of mind But noticing your smile, I saw the problem was mine! We're all searching for contentment with blinders on We've got to learn to be objective Before life itself is gone! 09. Tears Of Orpheus

10. Aftermath Of Betrayal (The Tragedy Of Hamlet)
[ACT I]
Once past twelve sounds a bell 'Tis bitter cold at Elsinore Three Danes await and watch the night For the late king Hamlet's spectral sight It comes again in warlike form This spirit of health beckons his son Father, king, royal Dane? Tell me the reason why you came I am the spirit of the king I walk the night and burn by day "Till the foul crimes done in my days Of nature are burnt and purged away" A serpents sting took my life Now wears my crown and wed my wife Avenge my death, remember me Hamlet my son, kill the king! [ACTS II and III] A noble mind overthrown Seized with madness Dethrone! Somewhat deceptive To masque his designs The prince will reap his vengeance in time His lady love doth think him mad Lord Chamberlain warns Stay away! The actors come hither Presenting a play Hamlet's intentions are underway He has caught the conscience of the king Railed the queen Thought Claudius slain Instead lay dead The fool Chamberlain Banished; to England Hamlet is sent [ACT IV] The sails were set for their destruction Twice fell the night their ship is attacked Death has strayed from his path to claim sweet Ophelia The prince now returns enraged with wrath He falls upon innocence returning to dust Swears he laertes, Hamlet must Pay for all grievances put on his house Conspiracy lingers, the duel; a trap 11.
