We're all fucking and fighting
From beginning to end Sex gives you life And death is life's end Death is the end From the moment you drop out Until you're dropped back in, oh yeah Remember that birth means you're marked With original sin It won't ever change It's always beginning again The way that it starts and the way that it ends Always stay the same Stay the same Sex and death! I've seen what life is, it's all sex and death! Sex and death! Inevitibility Beckons us all With sex we are lured With death, we answer the call It's always the same Always beginning again The way that it starts and the way that is ends Always stay the same Stay the fucking same 02. Guilty (Until Proven Innocent)
If they don't like your face
They'll put you in your place You've got no recourse You're guilty as charged You can't tell them right from wrong If they think they know which side you're on You're at their mercy And their mercy is no place to be! It ain't no place for me! They've got the badges They've got the guns You ain't got a bloody thing When someone's word is law ! You've gotta hide your rage Or they'll put you in the cage Just smile at the injustice And be grateful if they let you walk away If they don't like your face They'll put you in your place You've got no recourse You're guilty has charged You can't tell them right from wrong If they think they know which side you're on You're at their mercy And their mercy is no place to be! Then if they say you're guilty And then you're guilty! 03. Just Say Yes
Well they tell you all to just say no
But we all know where they can go They're all a bunch of hypocrites And if they just say no, I'll just say yes Hysterical, McCarthyist, they want to find a nice quick fix A witch hunt is being carried on And all of your rights will soon be gone They catch your ass with one small joint They'll take your car, you'll get the point They'll nail you up onto that cross But Noriega got paid off Just say no to poverty Just say no to misery Just say no to Ronnie's wife Just say yes to real life Saying no will fail the test Without a reason to say yes Drugs are a symptom not the cause They're not the source of all our flaws The world's got problems that's a fact But it's gone too far to turn it all back The war on drugs is so much bull Our jails are already full Should we let a few child molesters out? I guess so Stupid, fucking, narrow-minded, longwinded Short-sighted, useless stupid, fucking fools Well fuck them all and all their rules Why don't they put this shit to rest? They tell me no, I tell them yes Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes Zero tolerance that's the way They'll make the average bozo pay But working for the C.I.A. Means the big fish get to swim away Iran - contra, Pentagon But we all know what's going on And we're the ones who'll pay the cost And if anyone's guilty it's them not us Just say no to all their lies Don't say no without asking why Just say no to hypocrisy Just say yes to reality 04. Beat The System
Taken to the limit
They've pushed you to the wall They seem to think they own you And it's time their bluff was called Don't let yourself be bullied They haven't got the right Don't let them take advantage of you Not without a fight! You give some men an inch You know they'll steal a mile They'll stab you in the back And keep on laughing all the while Don't let those assholes grind you down Don't let them waste your time Stand up and defy them Or they'll use you every time Beat the system, beat them at their own game Don't take the bullshit or they'll drive you insane Follow your heart, no matter what they say Beat the system 'cause you've gotta live life your way! If they win you're gonna lose So fight them tooth and nail Who cares about their rights When truth and justice are for sale? Are we men or are we mice? Are we all wolves or sheeps? If ignorance is bliss Then we're all blissfully asleep It's all a load of bullshit Or don't you see the light? You've gotta use your brains If you're gonna win the fight Obedience to petty tyrants The cowardice of fools I'm a law unto myself And I'm breaking all the rules Beat the system, beat them at their own game Don't take the bullshit or they'll drive you insane Follow your heart, no matter what they say Beat the system 'cause you've gotta live life your way! Live you way, yeah beat the system! Taken to the limit They've pushed you to the wall They seem to think they own you And it's time their bluff was called Don't let yourself be bullied They haven't got the right Don't let them take advantage of you Not without a fight! You give some men an inch You know they'll steal a mile They'll stab you in the back And keep on laughing all the while Don't let those assholes grind you down Don't let them waste your time Stand up and defy them Or they'll use you every time Beat the system, beat them at their own game Don't take the bullshit or they'll drive you insane Follow your heart, no matter what they say Beat the system 'cause you've gotta live life 05. Profits Of Doom
These tanks roll off the line
And though I make them, they ain't mine I make my life from sales of death I feel no guilt, I'm just here to collect It seems so useless to put up a fight You're on their treadmill and there's no end in sight They've got us trapped in dead end lives No hope or promise, we fight to survive Well, we see them as they see us Perceptions clouded by fear and mistrust We miss the point, we're all the same Each wants the other side to take all the blame Nothing is sacred, nothing is clean Defiled and tainted, completely obscene They speak of truth with lying eyes We've reached the level of those we despise Well, men on top they roll the dice They play their games and we all pay the price And if the truth can set you free We're all enslaved by this hypocrisy! You hear the warnings of pain, doom and strife Can you imagine a fate worse than life? Living this life, you live their lie Live for today for tomorrow we die! 06. Meet Your Maker
Prepare to meet your maker
He's gonna bring you down The reaper's knocking at your door And he'll plant you underground You haven't got a prayer You're waiting there to die And when your number's up You'll kiss your ass goodbye, goodbye ! Sooner or later Everybody buys the farm You know it's nothing new It's no reason for alarm You act so cool and calm You don't even blink an eye You haven't got me fooled 'Cause no one wants to die ! No one, no one survives Meet your maker on the firing line No mistaking, when it's time it's time No escaping, when they draw the line If life is taken, please God don't take mine ! Kicking and screaming They will drag you to your grave So face the curtain call now If you're all so brave This life is terminal We all go in the end The only difference is how we die And when it ends One hundred years from now We'll all be dead and gone Rotting in our graves Or passed into the world beyond Our days are numbered We're just waiting for the call Face your mortality For death will take us all ! No one, no one survives You die ! Prepare to meet your maker He's gonna bring you down The reaper's knocking at your door And he'll plant you underground You haven't got a prayer You're waiting there to die And when your number's up You'll kiss your ass goodbye, goodbye ! No one, no one survives 07. Harsh Realities
Life is nasty, brutish, and short
It gives you no breaks, forgive no mistakes It's time you got wise, opened your eyes And dealt with the world as it is Harsh realities It's time to stop living this life of illusion Ignoring life's problems creates no solutions Our leaders have lied, there's nowhere to hide We've lived past our means and now the bills must be paid And we're the ones who pay ! Life is nasty, brutish and short It gives you no breaks, forgive no mistakes It's time you got wise, opened your eyes And dealt with the world as it is Harsh realities 08. Save Us
Stormclouds loom darkly as battle is joined
It's time to prepare for the fight Don't stand in the wings and await better things Or you'll find out that life's passed you by Wake up, and see the lights Face facts 'cause you've got to fight So don't let them grind you down Stand tall, and don't be pushed around Small minded people control what you think And they've twisted our means to their ends They'd drown us all in a sea of red ink To put our filth to an end Wake up, and look around 'Cause you're trapped, and these walls surround you Can you see through their disguise ? Time's short, so open your eyes Wake up, and look around 'Cause you're trapped, and these walls surround you Can you see through their disguise ? Time's short, so open your fucking eyes The day we most fear draws so quietly near They'll soon end the faults of our ways Computer control puts us deep in the hole We're numbered along with our days ! 09. Waiting For Death
Pulled to the limit
And I can't take the strain The world's gone mad And this madness will drive me insane I can't take this pain ! Signals are crossed I don't know what to think Confusion and chaos Are driving me over the brink And I need a drink ! You're waiting, waiting for death Waiting, waiting for death Trapped in the rat-race And I'm playing their game But I'll keep on fighting 'Cause I'm never gonna be tamed I won't be tamed ! If you know the truth Don't swallow their lies Ignore what they tell you And learn to believe your own eyes And not their lies ! You're waiting, waiting for death Waiting, waiting for death Pulled to the limit And I can't take the strain The world's gone mad And this madness will drive me insane I can't take this pain ! Signals are crossed I don't know what to think Confusion and chaos Are driving me over the brink I need a drink ! You're waiting, waiting for death Waiting, waiting for death 10. Living Hell
Is this life or is this death ?
Well, just what makes you think it's all for the best ? Do you care, can you feel the pain ? Two billion people being starved for your gain It seems that growth never keeps us with need Too many mothers got too many mouths to feed Damned if we do, we'll be damned if we don't Things have to change and we all know that they won't Will things get better ? Well, who can tell ? But if this is Heaven Then show me Hell ! Build swords from plowshares, squeeze blood from a stone And when they've used you, you'll be left on your own ! There seems no hope as we race towards the fall The war machine will consume us all Violence and bloodshed, the folly of man They call it progress, I call it a scam Push blindly forward without asking why The rich gets richer, the poor can all die ! Will things get better ? Well, who can tell ? But if this is Heaven Then show me Hell ! Show me Hell ! Show me Hell ! Is this life or is this death ? Well, just what makes you think it's all for the best ? Do you care, can you feel the pain ? Two billion people being starved for your gain It seems that growth never keeps us with need Too many mothers got too many mouths to feed Damned if we do, we're gonna be fucked if we don't Things have to change and we all know that they won't Know they won't, they won't, they won't, they won't |
