Meanstreak - Roadkill lyrics



Tracks



01. Roadkill

You're speeding down the road with living on your mind
This travesty you're leading is deceiving you will find
Just when you think you've had enough you think you've had your fill
You turn the corner there it lies
Poor little roadkill

Hey - Time Is Wasted, Hey - Time Is Wasted

Your conscience full of gulit as you pass the corpse on by
You start to wonder what its like & how it feels to die
Flashbacks of Vietnam the training sergeant's drill
Murdered comrades strewn about
Just like the Roadkill

Hey - Time Is Wasted, Hey - Time Is Wasted

Your term of existence left some lines upon your face
Welts of dishonesty of the bloody human race
People in their masses forget with drugs & oills
Sins left upon the body of the
Poor little Roadkill

Hey - Time Is Wasted, Hey - Time Is Wasted

So Come forward - step in line & come & meet your fate
Cause that's not your mother's chicken dinner lying on your plate
It's mankind's distorted view frying on the grill
Behold the future from the eyes of the
Poor little Roadkill

02. Searching Forever

The shimmering lights in the distance move closer
Breaking the speed of sound
As Lightning from heaven lights up the sky
Shooting it's beams to the ground

So far away from home they fly
Searching forever lost in the sky

They gather their weapons in fear for their lives
They delve into lands unknown
Travel the desert crossing the plains
Into the danger zone

So far away from home they fly
Searching forever they fly
Their planet was conquered by merciless leaders
They fled the enemy line
Packed up their ship & planned their escape
Across the sea of time

So far away from home they fly
Searching forever lost in the sky

In search of an answer a peaceful existence
Souls that bleed to be free
No power no glorious kingdom or reign
No end to this misery

So far away from home they fly
Searching forever lost in the sky

03. Snake Pit

When it comes to heartbreakers I believe you take the cake
You could charm a rattle off a rattle snake

I've been hearing voices inside my head
Screaming you've been sleeping in someone else's bed

I'm gonna shock you (shock you!) till you realise
You're playing witha snake about to rise

Knock you to your senses for the sweet revenge of it
Drop you in & watch you squirm in the s - s - snake pit

There must be a better way to keep you from yourself
Fill you with psycotic dreams for your state of mental health
But you like the tough approach I know it all too well

I thought I'd found a way to change youur evil deeds
Lock you in a padded cell & throw away the key

Climbing the walls in a state of confusion
Caught up in the bottom of a snake pit of illusion

I'm gonna shock you (shock you!)
Shock you one more time

04. Nostradamus

In the days of ancient mystery was a man who saw through dreams
The legions marching one by one to the sound of the keepers drum
The future so plain to see mankinds destiny
Lookaway

Grains of sand are sifting one by one in time the damage will be done
Shocking tales will be sung

Misery was spread by land - Nostradomis had the sleight of hand
To cure his city from the plague - stop his people from an early grave
The power of mind revealed - the fate of the country sealed
Lookaway

Things are never asa they seem
A cloudy vision of a dream
Do you see what I see?

Will we find a new resting place
Mankind left without a trace

Time after time & again we hear what it's like to live in fear
Existing actions seem to mime past & present political crimes
We must succeed to infiltrate cut the fuse of the government red tape
Lookaway

Grains of sand are sifting one by one in time the damage will be done
Shocking tales will be sung

In the days of ancient prophecy there was a man who saw through dreams
Manmade mountains would crumble & fall judgement day will kill us all
No time to cure our actions wrong we must follow our fate along
Lookaway

Things are never as they seem
A cloudy vision of a dream
Do you see what I see?

05. It Seems To Me

Lost inside - lost inside your mind
When you find yourself you're a million miles away
Lost inside - lost inside your mind
After all these years you know ther's nothing left to say

It seems to me you thought your life was made of gold
And you found your sanctuary in the stories that you told
But once again you made it plain to me
That you found yourself alone with only fantasies

Do you remember when there was a time you had it all
And in your mind you'd hear the echoes of that mighty roar
They're only memories that shrivelled up & died
And you'll wake one day to find that life has passed you by

Now can't you see they left you standing in the rain
Cause you tried too hard & finally drove yourself insane
But you can't believe that's the way it has to be
Cause you cast your lot deciding your own destiny

06. Lost Stranger

I saw you with her standing there
Acting like you don't care
I'm in love with a lost stranger

You give me all your alibis
You know I know that they're all lies
I'm in love with a lost stranger

And when I put you in your place
You slap me in the face
You always pull me down

You're thunder & lightning by my side
Flashing - pounding like the tide
I'm in love with a lost stranger

I'll wrap you up in barbed wire
Get the bait - light the fire
I'm in love with a lost stranger

You know it blows my mind
When I see your kind
Always running wild

Forget your burdens & your fears
Tonight's the night for no more tears
I'm in love with a lost stranger

The only thing we'll leave behind
Is the pain you left from lying
I'm in love with a lost stranger

This time I'll see you through
But the next one it's on you
And no more running wild

07. The Warning

Where were you when I first called to you
And where were you when it was time
To take the others to their final place
And lead the way through that which seemed to
Need no guide

I guess you think you've got it all worked out
Cause life has been an easy street so far
And you found the road you think you should be travelling on
Why would you look for anything else
While you are young

I am here to tell you
It makes no difference where you're from
Where you've been & what you've done
Will stay with you untill the end of time
So listen -
Tomorrow might find us both somewhere
Into the fire

There will come a time without a warning
When you'll have to take your place among the line
You can't say you hadn't got a warning
Why would you listen to me or anyone else
While you are young
Keep away from the fire
Forget about the times you left behind
You've got your whole life lying there in front of you
Why would you want to go find that road
You left behind

08. The Congregation

Remember when there was a time
When you couldn't congregate
When just one ruler took control
Of your moralistic fate
In helpless minds not free to think
Our music's standing trial
The congregation's losing sleep
Their words are turning vile
The jury's tightly fisted hands
Are sporting huge erections
With eyes that cross & nostrils flared
They point in our direction
Tainted fumes of poison breath
Pollute the air with hate
It seems that their perception of reality's
A little late

They're the congregation - Send your money,save your soul

Crusading what they choose to call
The generation curse
Narrow minds still preaching us
Not for better,but ffor worse
And what's that constant number
At the bottom of the screen
Donate your whole bank account
For all your hopes & dreams
So if you're down & full of doubt
And with his guidance you'll find
That life is but a bubble
But what's the need for money dear?
When love is at your door
Me think's what you're raging
Is a bloody holy war

They're the congregation,Send your money,save your soul

Hammer head flowers - Spewing crow hate
Like ever searching ghosts - Seeking goblin mate
Woodpeckers pecking - Looking for a meal
Fate commands puppets like a gambler's lucky wheel
The prosecution's clamour is seeping through the walls
Dripping from the ceilings - Creeping through the halls
Come forward take your vow - to help the cause
Time is of the essence - No more tug of war

Their sacrilegious evidence
Seems to be unreal
The ones who claim our motivation
Bears the devil's seal
Just like the big bullies,in their glory
Looking for a fight
Obsessed with playing god
Not what's wrong or right
There is no way to buy the rank
To rule eternity
Sorry Bud - it's up to him
Not to you or me
And angels at their mercy
Have glorified this case
Excused them from the contest
Of the failing human race

They're the congregation - Send your money, save your soul

Remember when there was a time
When it was bad to congregate
When life was sentenced exection
By the magistrate
With stronger minds now free to think
It seems we've won our case
The jury's somehow disappeared
Left without a trace
Archaic ways had left them blind
They had no alibi
Just hearts of hate & minds of fear
To use to get them by
We've all in common faults & fears
Of one kind or another
Remember what the good book says
And learn to love your brother

They're the congregation - Send your money, save your soul

They're the congregation - Send your money, save your soul
