25 bucks and a bottle of wine
The pressures on but I feel fine I crawl into a hole for a couple of days This God sure works in mysterious ways Heart has been racing Since I was a boy And I too bleed red Gonna crush kill destroy Paralyze me with a mind charade I took a wrong turn at the freak parade If less means more then more means less I'm just a little white pawn in a game of chess Call me crazy I call it a ploy Still water runs deep Gonna crush kill destroy 02. Shine
Burn the bridge
And severe all ties to the right Kiss the kids Cause daddy's gone off to fight Brace yourself For the search and seizure of the land We'll spread the wealth And finally gain the upper hand In death and taxes God we trust E.Pluribus unum shine I rust Hang 'em high And don't cut em' down till you're told We're justified In taking back what they stole Mad as hell We desecrate in disgrace Dry, the well You kick the dirt in my face In death and taxes God we trust E.Pluribus unum shine I rust 03. State Of Mind
Sold to the highest bidder
How does it feel to be meat Hard as nails like a psycho killer Runnin' around as if you're oh so street Well it's time to check yourself Cause if they find you out they'll Drop your ass on the damn shelf Just another corporate tool Gonna show you why it pays to be genuine fool Bite the black sheep and emulate Messages that they create Our nation is fueled by hate The decimation of a facist state Same as it ever was, or maybe not Sick enough to make your head spin around Or get your ass shot I think it's time we made some noise Drop bombs Seperate men from boys cause Independence is king and Anything else don't mean a god damn thing 04. Gunya Down
Genocide is looming out over the east
So catch a ride in the belly or the back of the beast They burned down the church And the preacher had died He was a man of the cloth with a gun at his side Bang, bang, bang, friends are dead With the fragments of bullets inside theirs heads Now they lie in a ditch where the bodies are dumped And they were stripped of the clothes Which the bullets were pumped We must forgive but not forget The choice to kill we will regret The shells will rock the tiny town When neighbor come to gunya down Dogs of war are declared on the loose Put a rope round your neck and tighten the noose Radical pigs huddle safe in their slop While the rats will starve in the cage till they drop Here we go again Just remember Somalia, flashback Vietnam Rwanda's a lesson that need be learned They put the gas to tyhe flesh to the match till they burned Terror beyond what we can see As history repeats No way to protect or to defend What we can't comprehend The end 05. The Mercy Killings
The people shouted no justice and no peace
It's getting pretty wicked and wild in the streets We're frightened of the gunshots in the park Praying that our kids come home before dark Screaming sirens cuss the air They're killing our kids and they don't care It makes you wanna hang your head and cry It makes you feel powerless inside Took the tech 9 To the head It was a mercy kill And there were five found dead Violence nine to five I can't really say that it's great to be alive I'm talking about the bloodshed overflow It's moving too fast for the folks below When reality rears it's head Hope is lost as tears are shed We fall prey to violence crime Been sittin' ducks for all our lives 06. Contents Under Pressure
This court is in session
So stand erect The case persecution Of generation X A taste of pollution To make you choke En masse execution Behind the smoke Discarded and thrown by the wayside Endorse this punishable act Blame us if we are what you made us Die slowly but leave us intact They buried the treasure And burned the map They cut down the trees And drank the sap The earth is a prison With no where to go Contents under pressure It's bound to blow 07. Against The Grain
Man went on a mission
To save the day He started a militia Called crime does pay Everywhere he went The crowds would gather 'round As he posted propaganda All throughout the town Violence everywhere Blame the government Show us that you care How's the money spent ? Said it once before That ignorance is bliss And media's a whore All because of this Prison you made It's built to last How can you stoop so low The fate of our futures in the past There's nowhere for us to go but Against the grain Politics is business And business sucks Extortion is the key To making bigger bucks Judges taking bribes While golfing on the green While the lawyers get some grease To oil their machine Promise everywhere None they'll ever keep Justice isn't fair Pockets gettin deep Patience running out The people gettin' pissed We never had a doubt They'd wash their hands of the Prison you made It's built to last How can you stoop so low The fate of our futures in the past There's nowhere for us to go but Against the grain I got armor on my back And eyes in the back of my head So behold the overthrow 08. Box City
Once there was a promise
A promise made to me That if I keep working hard My dream would come to be Built a future with my hands Was punctual, met demands Then suddenly tragedy If the system keeps fuckin' me I'm going back to the box city If patience is a virtue Then I am a saint Beaurocracy in motion Sir You're going to have to wait It takes a buck to make a buck And those with none I guess are fucked So we were never really free This winter is killing me I'm trapped out here in box city 09. Odd Man Out
Stuck in a rut of a depression
Putting every emotion to the test Infatuation, obsession It's making you feel like you're the best Well, I for one, another person Who never connected with a crowd My isolation is crucial In making myself feel proud Remember what dad told you "Don't believe the lies" "They'll cultivate and mold you Right before your eyes" It's just the same old song with the same old dance I kicked it live when you still shit your pants Stuck to my guns That's what life's about When the ship rolled in it left this Odd man out Isn't it cool to be the captain ? Isn't it nice to be the king ? How can you smile in a heartbeat Amidst the pain and suffering It's never too late to learn a lesson Like never go down without a fight Make positive out of the negative By keeping your karma insight It ain't about where you come from It's about where you've been When you were all that and then some The vultures sucked you in 10. Political Suicide
Well it's 6 am at the white house
And the sun's just about to break Gonna go for a run with the C.I.A And talk shop with my boys in Kuwait We got ethnic cleansing in Bosnia While the Haitian's come in by boat I think it's time for some media posturing To put the spark right back in your vote I reserve the right To lie straight up in your face I'll squeal in delight And leave you in disgrace I will not step down Hurt my pride I shalt thou commit Political suicide Got a real nice disposition More perks then a chock full o'nuts But I can't stand up to the congress Cause I just don't have the guts My hands are ties domestically I gotta brown nose the N.R.A. Those campaign contributions Have put me where I am today |
