Tell me, assure me
I really can't relate to your dishonesty Dissention, seeking attention Yet segregation from the ones that really cared Tell me, assure me I really can't relate to your dishonesty Cash styled deadhead, no conscience or opinions Material gain bar happiness means shit It means shit Mass appeal madness eats your brain False influence like a leach Sucking dry your veins Public eyes see fit your second face Freakshow - fooling those who imitate Clever marketing to dominate Screwing those who gave you your big break And when the bubble bursts Exposing your selfish crap You'll cry for sympathy We'll just sit back and laugh 02. Pride Assassin
Brought forth into an acceptance
Expected mass production All cloned to obey without fall To question means breaking the mould To turn your back, that courage you lack Or live in pretence In youth confused Prime for manipulation And open sore cursed with their social infections Absorb to be seen as a failure Nor fit to breathe the air we take in Pride assasin True feelings call for deviation But could you face mass condemnation? Pride assasin Backed into a corner Why should you adhere to their illusions And their orders Willing to dictate yet for themselves exemption Evaluate your brain form your own opinions To be an induvidual - compassionate and free 03. Unchallenged Hate
A chronic complaint of dimness
Prevails your profound ideology A romantic version of a master race Attained through coercive froms of authority Your observance is negigence If you see the threat from different cultures We're all in this sinking ship Each of us together Where does the whiteman stand? Where does the blackman stand? Where do we all fucking stand? Knee deep in shit Look into yourself And you'll find the real oppressor To a life of unchallenged hate It's yourself who's the nigger 04. Social Sterility
Time for omittance
From a sterile existance Where the weekend pays homage To stereotypicalperpetuation Must inebriate my senses Into a state of delirium Before I turn to the meatrack For my penial selection Apathy spreads In unison with sexual disease A scourge that infests The cattle markets of youth Unconscious just promiscuous Deprived of self respect In the selling of their bodies All emotions dead Thoughts absorbed Lost in sense of direction It's time to sit down And re-assess my course of action 05. Suffer The Children
Your unflappable conceptions
Moralistic views Never open to criticism Your overpowering ruse Promise of sanctuary In eternal bliss With starry eyes and cash in hand Pledge all to the master plan Just face the truth or fund the farce At one with your god Your sole untent Your treasured place assured For a substantial rent Global lunacy Death threats for supposed blasphemy No room for free thought All non believers pushed to the floor Aggressive tyrants Supposed saints for the cause Judgement through force Faith a fuel for pointless wars When all is done Who shall benefit? Who is the one? Not those who pass on But those dictators divine waving their deceitfull wands 06. Siege Of Power
Siege of power in your land
Too many problems for you to understand Siege of power inside your mind Outward restrictions to keep you in line Siege of power in your land Too many problems - for you to understand You're a slave to their power you never questioned why you were born to suffer you are going to die Siege of power, they made you a tool While others were ruling you were being ruled 08. Rise Above
At the time of birth
Minds free from suspicion Senses raped Induced with superstition A pre-set mode To benefit description Language, colour Race definition Inner strength must detect The love we each possess Before we may reach Appreciating it in anyone else External distinctions Used as scapegoats to problems Channeling our aggression In the wrong direction Break down the barriers That enforce superstition Learn to trust Overcome suspicion Acceptance, the weapon Active against our freedom Our love and compassion Held at treason Rise above induced superstition 09. The Missing Link
And intergral sense
Comes with belonging to a scene Supposedly absent of barriers (When sexism is one of many) Earnest words Calling for unity of the sexes When she's still the chick, or stupid bitch (Ridiculed for showing an interest) Hidden indifference Strikes an emotion reaction When you see an animal being abused Yet un-noticed when a woman Is abused in the same way The links of oppression Stem from the same segradation But one our eyes are closed Actively abusing the rights of one Whilst fighting for those of another The 'scene' may hold a different name But the roleplays just the same Equal rights are fine As long as she's in her place Outrightly denouncing fascism Whilst oblivious to it taking place Is condemnation of standards All an act of save face Unity a stark ambition When our abuse surpasses recognition 10. Mentally Murdered
Your aspirations, unable to stretch
Beyond the barriers of what's expected As the free thought you were born with Becomes externally ploluted Lose sight of your ideals In their brainwashing institutions Predetermine your values To befit your substandard existence ... Discouraging creativity To aim for empty ambitions Living up to other's expectations Takes hold of your assiduity Mentally murdered! The will to succeed Overpowers the will to resist Mentally murdered! Always up to the mark Set the wheels in motion A fake sense of security From your invariable position Sinking in the crowd A face minus expression A mouth that echoes words Recycled from tradition Your only contentness Is living in a lie Mentally murdered! Do you possess the strength To re-create your own life? Mentally murdered? 11. Walls Of Confinement
Before my eyes I see a wall
12,000 miles high And the same amount wide Within that wall are faces Of people To whom I could once relate Now communication seems hard When there's an ego barrier to break through Opinions of self opinion Cloud a new horison The vision a mere illusion Blased in conclusion Trapped in seclusion To the outside - exclusion When an attitude is so biassed What can you expect to change? Banging your head But the walls are not moving It's enclosing Burning so much energy Enthusiasm burning Is change the 'real' obsession? Or with a sense of pretention, Do you merely strive for credible attention??? 12. Cause And Effect
What are your motives
For your abuse What can they be? Accused of things I've never done This seems strange Your motivation, for my humiliation I'm pressurised So many times By your presence Your very existance Has become my obsession My infatuation with your damnation I experience Dangerous thoughts That are all too real How can one man Inflict in me So much hate My obsession with your destruction 13. No Mental Effort
So we're still in our teething stages
As far as politics are concerned That's fine coming from someone To whom sensationalism be their only wisdom in words A self-proclaimed spokesman On something to which prior knowledge excedes Championing no more censorship Then ridiculing our beliefs To appeal to our better nature Are we to keep our mouths shut? Easy to discard Constructive power At your disposal When egos and sales Outbalance opinions On the scales Using bands As pawns in your hands Building up Knocking down Sensationalise To suit cheap public demand Merging with the gutter press You claim to detest It's opened it's lid For you to crawl in and infest |
