01. Hung

Hung! Down by our society
Hung! Killed by inner apathy
We're hung! Hangin' high for all to see

You can say we may not play the way that shit goes down today,
But what the fuck you gonna do? You know we'll never burn for you
Through the ashes and the dust, along the way the relics rust
Orange has rotten to the seed, at the tree watch us bleed
Let the feeble have their way, still the same as yesterday
Primadonnas shake their heads, thriving scene has long been dead
Down with all the dinosaurs, big resurgence cries for more
Trapped inside the magic kingdom, let me hang to get my freedom!

Hung! Down by our society
Hung! Killed by inner apathy
We're hung! Hangin' high for all to see

You can say we may not play the way that shit goes down today,
But what the fuck you gonna do? You know we'll never burn for you.
Through the ashes And the dust, along the way the relics rust
Orange has rotten to the seed, at the tree watch us bleed
Fighting for what can't be saved, two feet in an open grave
Fragments of what used to be, rethink drug ideology
Trudging through adolescence, apparitions without presence
Just one thing you should know, when its time you gotta go

Hung! Down by our society
Hung! Killed by inner apathy
We're hung! Hangin' high for all to see

02. Down This Way

Sometimes I just wanna fuckin' scream
But there's just no way to release the voice inside my head
I can't sleep because I know I'll only dream of a time
When you will understand the words I've said
Years go by I get slow the edge gets duller every day
Chipping pieces off of my soul I continue to fight
I can't go down this way

In the dark I sit alone beside myself and isolate the fears
That creep down to my bones
A conscience ripped apart and left to rummage through
The haunting fragments piece by piece together the unknown
Years go by I get slow the edge gets duller every day
Chipping pieces off of my soul I continue to fight
I can't go down this way

Time will color a consuming black and all my goals that were
Always one step ahead of me
Have pushed this cold steel in my back and knocked me to my knees
The thin line between dark and light I see
Years go by I get slow the edge gets duller every day
Chipping pieces off of my soul I continue to fight
I can't go down this way

03. Don't Wait On Me

Time is out not running short to cut my bounds try to escape
The inner sanctum deep inside me
The emptiness the hollow pain the know that knows I can't remain
The here and now that can't contain me
Don't wait on me don't wait on me

In my heart I hear your call a scream that rips into my flesh
In my head the tunnel closing
The what was now can be no more kicked over chair and bolted door
Surrender to consuming madness
Don't wait on me don't wait on me

04. Falling Full Circle

Lonely thoughts breeding desolate times, the empty spaces that
Rest in his mind
Descriptive back passage, tomorrow so blind, the grip on reality
Slips farther away
The crack in his face forms a lunitic smile,
He thinks of the days when he was a child
The years of pain spent all alone, breed a reckless resentment
That cuts to the bone

Image of cruelity is sharp like a knife, it's cutting his sanity
Controlling his life
Crouched in the corner avoiding the whip, they blackened his eyes,
They're splitting his lip
Red tide rises as it turns on pop, catching a glimpse of a red
Torso drop
No chance for the weak when they crawl to the door, no hope for
The dead when they're bashed to the floor

Battle rages on forever, confiscation of the soul
When the final victim falls, the game begins it's falling full circle
Battle rages on forever, confiscation of the soul
When the final victim falls, the game begins it's falling full circle

Artillery carried through allys of grey
To the black colored cars that impatiently wait
Off in the night to the central location where capital's washed
Of that killing sensation
The man in the suit greets you straight and alery, with a grip
On your life he knows your hurt
A look in his eyes reassuring a thought of torture at hand,
Better dead and not caught

Battle rages on forever, confiscation of the soul
When the final victim falls, the game begins it's falling full circle
Battle rages on forever, confiscation of the soul
When the final victim falls, the game begins it's falling full circle

Your dreams of the big time are quickly gone, there's noone to
Help, you're standing alone
You know way too much, it's your turn to die, one hot piece of
Lead between your eyes,
Once held highly by the black with the green, now stopped in
Your tracks by the underworld screen
Ciao, muthafucka, you've done your job well, now sit back and
Relax as I blow you to hell

Battle rages on forever, confiscation of the soul
When the final victim falls, the game begins it's falling full circle
Battle rages on forever, confiscation of the soul
When the final victim falls, the game begins it's falling full circle

05. Bratattack

The bully at school tough kid on the block
Always in the middle and always in trouble
Hungry for any kind of reaction he learns to get his own way
Rarely a friend and always a threat
Little foul mouth genetic abuser bounced off every wall in the house

Learn how to bruise and learn how to fight
Learn how to bleed and how not to cry
Connecting link in a chain of hate an evilness grows within
First the fist and then the brain
Lashing out against the world
Well on his way to nowhere and back in a corner he will attack
Bratattack bratattack bratattack

Kicked out of the house and into the law
Always a bust and always probation
Justice a revolving door he learns the tricks of the trade
Rarely a clue and always a drunk
Little big man genetic white trash from the back of his brain a violent reaction

Learn how to bruise and learn how to fight
Learn how to bleed and how not to cry
Connecting link in a chain of hate an evilness grows within
First the fist and then the brain
Lashing out against the world
Well on his way to nowhere and back in a corner he will attack
Bratattack bratattack bratattack

06. Criminal

Look in my eyes at the cold black skies,
Which lead to a path of unanswered cries
Corrupt to the bone the lies that I tell,
Become my defense from a world gone to hell
For years all the running, and hiding, and burning,
Produce nothing more than an aching
A need to escape from the cell deep within,
What price for the freedom from self-nihilation?
I'm a criminal I'm a criminal

Look in my eyes and see what is real,
The way that I think the way that I feel
The knives in my back become steel to my wrists
The blood from my tears become broken stone fists
Imprisoned by fears without justified cause,
The theory perception empirical walls
The fight for the light is a fight fought in pain,
And just when I gain I've been beat back again
I'm a criminal I'm a criminal

07. Go My Way

Alright the world's a mess unto this fact I do confess
I never promised nothin'
You tell me it's O.K., you never did have much to say
"Sit down and have another"
Now while the flowers dry up and the nectar fills your cup
I smell the fires burning
Could it be that you and me are heirs to the reality
You don't get marks for doin' nothin'?

You try to frighten me by threatening dependency
While on your crutch society prepares for revolution
I've searched the painted walls the battle grounds the
Shopping malls
Still I never heard the answer blowing in the win
Go! My! Way!

Could it be the ugly truth is never having solid proof
That you ever really counted?
And while your MTV blares "welcome to society"
Has your indecision faded?
After the darkest night you raise your fist and scream "I'll fight"
It's just what I expected
So now I cut the ties from something that I dont despise
And what do you believe in?

I try to threaten you by giving you unbiased truth
All your life you've been absorbed by walls of institution
Into the endless sea of pictures words and currency you fall
Into the comfort of the belly of control
Go! My! Way!

All my life the battle call just a thought not heard at all
A vision quest that wasn't new uncovered by a scattered few
When the call passed along began the thought kings were wrong
They tossed the thrones into the fire now the sign reads
"King for hire"

And so the real solution doesnt come from institution
It waits to be created
You tell me "Now I see your words make perfect sense to me
Except the part about revolution"
And while your banners waving higher than the fuckin' navy's
I aint really felt an impact
Now youve got words to say but words always get in the way
So once again I'll go my way!

08. Dry Up-Blow Away

Growl! The trees are falling hundreds of thousands hit the ground
Crack! You hear them screaming live forrest comes tearing down
Plowed by mass machinery leaving wasteland in it's wake
Burn! Complete the genocide deforrestation cant stop the rape
Dry up! Dry up and blow away
Dry up blow away

Beat down! The conquered Amazon thousands of acres by the hour
Choke off! Life giving oxygen choose death for money and power
Plowed by mass machinery leaving wasteland in it's wake
Burn! Complete the genocide deforrestation cant stop the rape
Dry up! Dry up and blow away
Dry up blow away

09. (S.M.F.) Obligatory Obsolescence

I'm falling through a hole, I dont know why I cant control myself
How long the distance lies I'll never know, I'll never realize
Behind the boundry lines the answer lies, but still I cannot see
A way to fill the gap which hides itself inside humanity

The times I've passed an empty hand extended to my face
And ugly portrait of a man, a life has ended in disgrace
The hallow urchins march like soldiers up and down the dirty streets
Doorway statues count possessions lying broken at their feet
Man keeps turning back progression. I keep feeling that we're dying

I'm falling through a hole, I dont know why I cant control myself
How long the distance lies I'll never know, I'll never realize
Behind the boundry lines the answer lies, but still I cannot see
A way to fill the gap which hides itself inside humanity

The painted whores that cruise seductively
To sell their rotted meat
A transient's romance with a spoon, another body in delete
Man keeps turning back progression. I keep feeling that we're dying

10. Let It Go

Without a word I hear you talking to me
Without a move, can't you see me run?
Outside a car becomes your focal point
Inside your head you already won
Into the void goes all reality
Your rational becomes a mystery
My hardened head is just an obstacle
TO the safer path on this divided road

Let it go. Let it go
Do you really want to? Do you really want to
Let it go? Let it go

I bear my flesh for all the world to see
You keep all your desires incarcerated
Inside your head thoughts are wildly swimming,
And mine are too precise for you to care
I let the world become a spoken witness
You sense the boredom that begins to creep
I am the hypocrite that brings you truth
Destruction never boils down to you and me

Let it go. Let it go
Do you really want to? Do you really want to
Let it go? Let it go

Outside a car becomes your focal point
My shaking finger's getting tired of laying down the law
It doesn't really matter what the verbal tries to prove,
You do you, I do me. That's the way it goes
So now the world has turned it's back on us
My wounds are wrapped in bloody bandages
Your pride has jumped a train to Mexico,
And now we're only left with you and me

Let it go. Let it go
Do you really want to? Do you really want to
Let it go? Let it go

11. Nothing

Rummage through the quiet thoughts what life remains left out
To dry this and place no meaning now
I can feel the haunting laughter of a frantic world not far away
I'm crying out a message that cant me heard
Nothing nothing

The fight is lost to living hell my mind is caught inside this trap
This slowly dying flesh that will always surround me
Emotion burns like acid eating through my relentless heart
The power to my very soul my enemy
Nothing nothing

The fight is lost to living hell my mind is caught inside this trap
This slowly dying flesh that will always surround me
Emotion burns like acid eating through my relentless heart
The power to my very soul my enemy

Rummage through the quiet thoughts what life remains left out
To dry this and place no meaning now
I can feel the haunting laughter of a frantic world not far away
I'm crying out a message that cant me heard
Nothing nothing nothing

12. Vodka Frenzy

Livin' like a dog you know, flat on the road it aint so bad
Dragging my ass around from town to town night after night
No sense of sunrise and the daytime just melts to a blue
In quest of what I know will slap me down and set me right
I stumble in and make a b-line to the backstage door
And a lend a quick thought to how slammed I got the night before
I memorize a set list that I'll be too drunk to see
Oh Stoli girl you gotta keep yourself away from me
Vodka frenzy! Vodka fuckin' vodka frenzy!

I drive all night I'm in a fright shut-eye will do me good
Another faceless town another time and place to kill
I learn to drink and drive and sleep at once I knew I could
And stumble blindly to the quest I know I must fulfill
I'm in a daze for days of liquid haze and paying dues
Some deli tray this way to wipe the puke off of my shoes
This crusty slut nearby will surely try to get my key
Oh Stoli girl you know that you're the only one for me
Vodka frenzy! Vodka fuckin' vodka frenzy!

I look behind and pay no mind to how I crossed the map
I don't recall but one and all tell stories of the fun
You know the time I did this and the time that I did that
My drunken stupid state has left me no clue what I've done
I cannot function dry no matter how I try and try
Reality and me collid you see I dont know
If I am lost again you know my friend just where I be
Oh Stoli girl you gotta stop the things you do to me
Vodka frenzy! Vodka fuckin' vodka frenzy!
