01. Just Sit There

Sit there and let destruction take its course
Sit there and let nothing occupy your mind
But, I know that there's something left inside
Yes I know what the future will provide

It's up to us to fight the war
As Ronnie screws up more and more
But he don't care his life is past
It's up to us to make things last

Sit there and let destruction take its course
Sit there and let nothing occupy your mind
But, I know that there's something left inside
Yes I know what the future will provide

Brainwashed by hates and fears
Jeopardizing precious years
Fancy cars and diamond rings
For they live the life of kings.

SIT THERE!

02. Trapped

Why am I always stuck for words
Pressure's on and I'm all clammed up
Hatred boiling without being heard
You have the balls to tell me shut up

Always act like you're so concerned
Say you care, but I know you don't
I feel it inside
And when we talk we don't say a word
What is this ?
A waste of time ?

I guess it's true apathy prevails
I don't care, never did and never will
There are times I need something to wail
And other times
It's you I just want to kill

You fucked me up
Now you'll fuck me over
Tactful ways, I barely noticed
And when we talk
We don't say a word
What is this ?

Trapped
By your godly divineness
Trapped
And there's no escape
Trapped
Shall I call you your highness
Trapped
And I can't get away

Trapped
By your godly divineness
Trapped
And there's no escape
Trapped
Shall I call you your highness
Trapped
And I can't get away

Why am I always stuck for words
Pressure's on and I'm all clammed up
Hatred boiling without being heard
You have the balls to tell me shut up

Always act like you're so concerned
Say you care, but I know you don't
I feel it inside
And when we talk we don't say a word
Why the fuck did I waste my time ?

Trapped

03. Interlude

Talk about your problems
I've got problems
Too many problems
Why bother going on
Crawl into a shell
Life's a living hell
I might as well get some weed and bong

Friday night what's going on
Call up friends and cruise around
Suck down more beer
Smoke some dope
Have some fun
Raise hell in another town
Where you know no one

Cops come, they end it all
Haul you up against the wall
Nightstick out, they start to maul
In that cell get one phone call
Call your friend
Tell him where you hid the stash
Tell him he's got to raise the cash
To get you out of jail real fast
There's no telling how long you're going to last

Before you go insane
The acid you took
Just hit your brain

04. Super Tuesday

Election day is coming near
You get to pick the one you fear
Mondale, Hart or Jessie J.
They won't stick to what they say

Sorry Ron it's time to go
Back to acting with Bonzo

Who you pick, it makes no matter
We eat their shit and they get fatter
He gets to live in the White House
With his dog, his cat and spouse

Sorry Ron it's time to go
Back to acting with Bonzo

He'll take chauffeured limos
Go cruising through the ghettos
He'll state his mind with double think
Because his ideas really stink

Election day is coming near
You get to pick the one you fear

They won't stick to what they say

Sorry Ron it's time to go
Back to acting with Bonzo

05. Shits Creek

Life's going fine till it's time to pay
Then nobody cares about what you say
Borrowing all the time
Now you're in debt
Money's fun to spend
You bet

My arms are short and my pockets deep
And all the money that I have I want to keep
I'll be making my payments over time
That was long ago, now the lender whines

Moving down the river of life
Make your payments grab a wife
Then you try and float upstream
It's much harder than it seems
Finally you make your goal
With no morals and no soul
Had to sell them on the way
So that you could live today

You're up shit's creek
Installment due last week
Your bank book is looking bleak
Because you're up shit's creek

Travelling without a paddle
For so long it doesn't matter
Now you're in a new tax bracket
Don't forget your life jacket
And if you hit some waves
That's alright money saves
But if your cash flow stops
Will your life crumble and drop

You're up shit's creek
Installment due last week
Your bank book is looking bleak
Because you're up shit's creek

That's because you're up shit's creek

Now your debts are paid
And you can relax
You've got shit in your ears
Or is it wax
I thought I saw your boat capsize
Bobbing in the creek
Getting shit in your eyes

06. Return To The Womb

Woke up today
Where did I find myself
Stuck in a world
With room for no one else

Way, way back when
Not that much was expected from you
Now you ask how ?
How come society molds you to the shell ?
Why must I justify
Everything that I do
You aren't through
Until you see me climbing those walls

The world that you're born into
You didn't make
But that's what you're stuck with
And now that's your fate
The urge has surfaced
To crawl back inside
The fetal position
So now you can hide
Nice, warm and dark
Surrounded by flesh
Don't want to come out
The world's such a mess
The urge has surfaced
To crawl back inside
The fetal position
So now you can hide

Turn back time
Return to the womb
Turn back time
Return to the womb

Way, way back when
Not that much was expected from you
Now you ask how ?
How come society molds you to the shell ?

Why must I justify
Everything that I do
You aren't through
Until you see me climbing those walls

07. The Longest War

This story's been told, in the book of old
It's all been written, in the holy scroll

Evil abounds, it blackens our soul
The time will come, to pay the toll

Evil, a deadly force
Pushing us down a collision course
You can hope and grasp for calmer times
But a life of sin will torture your minds

We're caught in the middle
It's the danger zone
Everyone's affected
Is shelter known
Disaster spreads at lightning pace
It's a suicide of the human race

The end is near
Armageddon is here
Justice for once
Shall be made clear

Wicked wars
Forever shall cease
Soldiers of light
Shall rest in peace

Time to die

Armies unseen by mortal eyes
No bombs, no guns, no war torn skies
Spiritual weapons take a different route
Man's destroyed from the inside out

The longest war
Can you feel the rage ?
A constant battle from age to age

08. Shot Down

Destroying world peace is the name of the game
In the land that says they're treating everybody the same
They greed for so much power seeking total control
And express no human feeling
Towards the lives that they stole

Shot down, an innocent plane
Shot down, they gave us the blame
For this they should be punished an indefinite time
For commiting such a peace disturbing hideous crime

Should we believe Moscow ?
Are they telling the truth ?
While Ronnie and the press
Are still searching for proof
To say they didn't do it with the intentions to kill
Seems they twist the facts with every story they tell

Shot down, an innocent plane
Shot down, they gave us the blame
For this they should be punished an indefinite time
For commiting such a peace disturbing hideous crime

09. Prelude Intro

[Instrumental]

10. Life Of Dreams

Your world is viewed
Through rose-coloured glasses
Would it be terrible
If that world crumbled down ?
Try not to look as my life passes
You feel like a king yet where is your crown ?

Live in your life of dreams
When will your eyes see
Who are you trying to be
Live it up today
When you die you'll pay
Time to change your ways
A little bit each day
You're better off that way
Just stay away from me

Go with the flow
Forget what was
Don't waste time in the past
Once things get rolling
There's no way to pause
The life that you lead
Will be your last
Your last

Choose to do it
On your own
Feel your mind has really grown
Time will tell
Who comes out on top
The world keeps spinning
Can you make it stop ?

How long will you last
Once the dice have been cast ?

How long will you last ?

11. Brainwashed

You Jesus freaks are all the same
Cashing in by using his name
So much reform and so many views
Sounds like you're really confused
I think you should all get the axe
For spreading all of your shit
The flame should be extinguished now
Before another candle is lit

Run away from life
Religion's all you've got
I don't really care
If you were born again or not
Born with a belief
Never told I'm right
Don't need brainwashed people
Telling me to see the light

Spend all your life
Awaiting your turn
I was born with a belief
But you had to learn
Or did you believe
Before the book was fed to you
You never knew

Born again, born to see
Blind by faith, your eyes tell me

Spend all your life
Awaiting your turn
Heretic to me
I guess you should burn
Or did you believe
Before the book was fed to you
You never knew

Born again, born to see
Blind by faith, your eyes tell me

Spend all your life
Awaiting your turn
Heretic to me
I guess you should burn
Or did you believe
Before the book was fed to you
You never knew

12. Faces Of Death

Face of death looks you right in the eye
And you can't stand the sight of him
You try not to look
But you feel a cold stare
And now you know why his name is Grim
You turn and run as fast as you can
You will be caught why put up a fight
Your number is chosen it's your turn to die
Feeble pleas in the still of the night

Pressure building
Thoughts of killing
Finding something
To push you over the edge
While you're sleeping
Evil creeping
Now you're weeping
Head's in a vice
First you're mad, then you're glad
Think you're bad
Because you ended a life
Nervous twitching
Feel an itching to pick up
The sledge hammer

Face of death looks you right in the eye
And you can't stand the sight of him
You try not to look
But you feel a cold stare
And now you know why his name is Grim
You turn and run as fast as you can
You will be caught why put up a fight
Your number is chosen it's your turn to die
Feeble pleas in the still of the night

14. Bullshit Society

This world is full of it
You see it everywhere from everyone
And even those that should know better
Try to have some bullshit fun
No matter how well you know someone
They will try to burn your head
Who's right, who's wrong
Until your friendship is dead

It's so true
It's a bullshit society
It's so true
It's a bullshit society
It's so true
It's a bullshit society
It's so true

I think the parents are the best
With all their experience
Johnny it won't hurt a bit
As he rams the needle up your ass
The bullshit keeps your ego
So high above the clouds
Your head gets so fuckin' big
You think so highly of yourself

It's so true
It's a bullshit society
It's so true
It's a bullshit society
It's so true
It's a bullshit society
It's so true

This world is full of it
You see it everywhere from everyone
And even those that should know better
Try to have some bullshit fun
No matter how well you know someone
They will try to burn your head
Who's right, who's wrong
Until your fuckin' friendship is dead

It's so true
It's a bullshit society
It's so true
It's a bullshit society
It's so true
It's a bullshit society
It's so true

The bullshit keeps your ego
So high above the clouds
Your head gets so fuckin' big
You think so highly of yourself

It's so true
It's a bullshit society
It's so true
It's a bullshit society
It's so true
It's a bullshit society
It's so true

15. Live To Work

Survival of the fittest
Who also have the money
It's hard for us
Who don't have much
To eat when we are hungry

No work to do
Or school to go
Nothing to eat
This life is beat

Could always grub
But not every day
I don't want to have to steal
I know that's not the way

No work to do
Or school to go
Nothing to eat
This life is beat

Tell me get a job
Work until you're dead
These are the ideals they
Drill in your head

Could always grub
But not every day
I don't want to have to steal
I know that's not the way

No work to do
Or school to go
Nothing to eat
This life is beat

Survival of the fittest
Who also have the money
It's hard for us
Who don't have much
To eat when we are hungry

No work to do
Or school to go
Nothing to eat
This life is beat

Tell me get a job
Work until you're dead
These are the ideals they
Drill in your head

Tell me get a job
Work until you're dead
These are the ideals they
Drill in your head

16. Mr. Hyde

I see you turn from hate
Dreaming of your enemies fate
You want them to live a painful life
But you know it's you that hurts inside

And it's dragging you down
Let's see if you can stand your ground
There was always someone there
To pick you up, but now no one's around
No one's around

Think you've got control over what you do
Controlled by hate
And you know it's true
You want to reach out and call them friend
But your hateful ways just won't bend

You are held as captive
Your own chains bind your life
Your life is what you've made it
It's full of strife
Can't you feel you're sinking
In your own hate
Better change your ways now
Before it's too late

Like every story
You have two sides
Dr. Jeckyll, Mr. Hyde
Just about to bow your head in shame
Your ego restores your pride
Restores your pride

Hate inside
Cheated from the start
Open up let love play its part
It's your own hate
Polluting your soul
Got to open up and let it go, go

Living a life full of hate
Is the cause of your depressed state
You feed your hate on your own
So you're to blame
And you alone

Your own hate
