In a world so big and cold you seem so all alone then someone enters
your life and makes it all seem right sometimes things do change love turns to bitter rage and you say "Never again" but emotions always mend It's the root of all disharmony but it's the need to feel complete it's a physical attraction a chemical reaction a walking contradiction a push, pull affliction it's a love...hate relationship You can see it in our band we're all so different every solution we come to starts with an argument but through adversity the music's in our heart we'll stay together you can't tear us apart It's the root of all disharmony but it's the need to feel complete it's a physical attraction a chemical reaction a walking contradiction a push, pull affliction it's a love...hate relationship Love...hate is it one in the same I can't differentiate between love and hate love...hate is it one in the same I can't differentiate between love and hate I hate to love, I love to hate you love and hate is it one in the same love...hate We always take for granted the one's that love we think they'll always be there and we treat them as such but if we really make an effort to show them that we care our love will shine through and the hate will disappear It's the root of all disharmony but it's the need to feel complete it's a physical attraction a chemical reaction a walking contradiction a push, pull affliction it's a love...hate relationship 02. The American Way Lyrics by Rind, Arnett
Truth and honor faith and pride all convictions surely died honesties
time has passed time for lies is here at last truth is false I'm so fed up how did we come to be so fucked hate fear pain death all our country has got left Talk to children hear them say daddy left again today brother steals and mommy lies future lost before their eyes the sun was lost behind the clouds they rapped it up and blacked it out acid rain fell today it came and washed our hopes away This was once the land of dreams now these dreams have turned to greed in the midst of all this wealth the poor are left to help themselves a capitalist's democracy no one said that freedom's free lady liberty rots away no truth, no justice the American way Don't look past your t.v. all of us are what you see a looking glass into our lives what we watch is what we buy priorities are out of whack who is next to stab our back doesn't it make you mad to have lost all that we've had This was once the land of dreams now these dreams have turned to greed in the midst of all this wealth the poor are left to help themselves a capitalist's democracy no one said that freedom's free lady liberty rots away no truth, no justice the American way Doesn't it fill you with disgust that there's no one left to trust is this happening is this real my body numb I cannot feel are you happy are you sad are emotions a thing of the past I have no tears I cannot cry no one mourns for a world that's died This was once the land of dreams now these dreams have turned to greed in the midst of all this wealth the poor are left to help themselves a capitalist's democracy no one said that freedom's free lady liberty rots away no truth, no justice the American way 03. The Way It Is Lyrics by Phil Rind
We knew your reputation we hoped that things could be different but
you just proved us wrong and now you're up to your same old tricks I guess we learned a lesson that people don't change overnight things will work out well with a little hard work it'll be alright How could we be so foolish to rush head first, without a thought I guess it goes to show if your unprepared you will be caught but now we've learned a lesson a lesson which we won't forget with our newfound wisdom things'll work out in the end This is the way it is not how things should be this is the way it is this is reality This is the way it is not how things should be this is the way it is this is reality You seemed so sincere we'd work together it'd be lot's of fun but all you saw was money it's not the issue 'til the music's done to you it's doing business to us it's doing what we love we'll just do our thing we won't give in for a buck This is the way it is not how things should be this is the way it is this is reality This is the way it is not how things should be this is the way it is this is reality Like a soul attaining heaven we must ascend to greater heights got to make a change got to make a change, the time is right now I wish you well and thank you for what you've done for me to quote you "Mr. Businessman" there's things in life that aren't free This is the way it is not how things should be this is the way it is this is reality This is the way it is not how things should be this is the way it is this is Reality 04. Crimes Against Humanity Lyrics by Phil Rind
Toxins, pollutants and poisonous gasses without notice take their toll on
the masses air becomes thicker than the water we drink people unaware of the spread of disease smoke fills the sky and the sun disappears rain from above is like acid filled tears the fragile balance of sky and earth has been altered forever harmony disturbed Towering temples of modernization megatropolis monument to civilization pollution and waste is direct indication to the growing problem of the world's situation smoke fills the sky the sun disappears rain from above is like acid filled tears the fragile balance of sky and earth has been altered forever harmony disturbed What will it take to make us see these are crimes against humanity not only you, not only me but even our future society these are crimes against humanity Pain and suffering are what can be found violence and hatred are what abound building the weapons that we can't use can't we see they have only one use we need more compassion not more war planes are we so blind uncaring insane brought into this world with nothing and with nothing we're destined to depart What will it take to make us see these are crimes against humanity not only you, not only me but even our future society these are crimes against humanity Crimes against humanity 05.

Who's To Blame Lyrics by Phil Rind
Jonny can you hear me turn that music down You're making too much
noise I mean it do it now all that stuff is evil Ozzy, Judas Priest there's backwards messages in that stuff that leads you to the beast Jonny don't you hear me open up that door I've been calling you for hours I won't say it anymore just wait until your dad gets home and sees what you have done kicked out of school you've got no job you're a useless delinquent bum oh my god it's Jonny hanging by his neck all those metal albums have led him to his death Now it's time for parents to open ears and listen maybe it's too late to see what you've been missing music is no cause of death it's you that suffocates if you had opened your eyes and ears you'd see just who's to blame Who's to be responsible for a life that's gone off track who's the one who must be there to see it gets put back where were you to hear the cries of a person in need were you there to see the signs or were you too busy Now it's time for parents to open ears and listen maybe it's too late to see what you've been missing music is no cause of death it's you that suffocates if you had opened your eyes and ears you'd see just who's to blame Who's to be responsible for a life that's gone off track who's the one who must be there to see it gets put back where were you to hear the cries of a person in need were you there to see the signs or were you too busy Who's the cause, who's the blame for a life that's not worth living is it parents, family who take without giving so next time that you close your eyes and choose to shift the blame remember you can save a life so really who's to blame?! 07.
