- Alba
Black beans on the stove, malta in my hands
Tears in Alba's eyes as she dreams of a far away land
"I've been stripped of my country, I've been spit on by my race"
I said "It'll be okay!" as I wiped a tear from her face
- All Fall Down
the air stings my eyes
the water burns my skin
I've seen the reactions through my actions
but I don't try to change a thing at all
we're taught to close our eyes and conditioned
to believe their lies as we watch them
rape the land and skies to build the
things that own our lives and we'll
- Bakunin
A repentant nobel man
He vowed to overthrow the land
Horrified by the treatment of the peasants by his fathers hand
He had a vision destruction his creative urge
He lit a fire and it still burns
Mikhail wanted nothing more than liberty
He denounced the church the state and monarchy
He called for an armed revolution
- Barricades
You can break our bodies,
But our will, it just cannot be broken,
Still you hide behind these barricades,
You will never know
Just how it feels when the air's stinging your eyes,
Watching your friends fall by your side,
Dragged off and locked away for their beliefs.
For their beliefs!
- Best Enemy
It echoes in my head
These words we've left unsaid
Those things to hard to hide
Still haunt me somewhere deep inside
- Buried Alive
He sticks to the back streets and the alleys he sees through black eyes.
Moving through shadows. From battles. He's scarring inside.
He knows the hallways. He always avoids the south side.
And they find him cause sometimes there's nowhere to hide.
[Chorus:]
The fist feels so lonely. And everyone's watching.
The fist feels so lonely. Their eyes are exhausting.
- Court 22
I was raised in a trailer Never thought that I would get outta there Always told that I was a failure Never fit in with the other kids My father kicked me out when I shaved my hair Singled out because of where I lived I got the music the music's got me I learned to fight at an early age Court 22 my aluminum cage The underground sound I got beat I got punched and kicked Always sets me free I never ever felt like I belonged I thought that everything I did was Cause I didn't fit in their social clique Fuckin' wrong Punk rock was my only escape I turn up the music and feel the beat A new found spirit no one could break It's the only thing I ever want to keep
- Dinkas When I Close My Eyes
Night falls like the silence over Sudan
Where children run like the blood on the sand
And I can taste it like the dust that chokes this land
A government sponsored slavery plan
Lined up like cattle at an auction deprived
Of everything that you and I have ever known
All alone, wearing only the dreams of their far away home
- Freedom
Everyday i listened to you and nothing's ever good enough
you're always complaining about something you act so goddamn tough
but all you ever do is let someone do your thinking for you
and you have no respect for my opinion
well at least i think for myself i`m not brainwashed
to think like people that rule
i'm not a pool and i'll rise i wont compromise
and i'll never give up, i won't walk walk walk away
- Grinding My Life Away
Flesh peelin'
Soul stealin'
It's taking everything I've got
Not to crack right through your skull
Have my fill
Leave you to rot
As we roll through the night
Casting shadows
- I'm Weak Inside
"I'm Weak Inside"
Another day in this broke down place
The towers grow and the skies are slowly replaced
With the cold gray structures that lay to waste
Everything that stands in the way
Stare at the ground as I walk on by
You make me sick and I hate what I feel inside
- Just An Obstruction
I'm gonna rape your fertile land
And plant my seed in your mother
Fuckin' listen to me
Obey my laws worship my God
'cause your just an obstruction
And your holding back production
It's a free land of opportunity
Where my people can prosper
- Killing The Truth
Conspire to control the masses is your goal,
The lies we've bought, you've sold but we're watching you
And every grassy knoll and bell tower too...
Who's you next patsy?
The lies caught up to you, speak 'till you're
Blue in the face, but we'll never believe you.
We've weighed the evidence and what we conclude is...
- Lied To
More lies disguised, they're selling you
Vacant eyes tied tightly to the tube,
Sealed shut just like they wanted.
Truth's a ghost, we're all haunted
By the actions of those serving,
Believed they were deserving
Of our trust we were misled.
- Lifestyle Of Rebellion
i'm a rat in a maze
i'm headed in the wrong the direction
if societies the cure
well then i'm the infection
when i was younger
i tried hard to a find a place within it`s structure
but the more that i tried
the more i fuckin' suffered
- Pestilent Existence
Systematically populated, Nuclear annihilation Mind rotting flesh eating cellular infection Genetically manipulated, human imitation All staring through my window as I sit here in damnation Will we progress? Or end the human race I wonder how it's gonna end, If we keep up this pace We're destroying our planet, We've fallen from grace Take me to this place to I just can't take it anymore This wall of sound that surrounds me It's in my heart and in my soul Ands keeps me bound to the underground I wanna kill you with my rock and roll Can't take it anymore, don't wanna think about it, it makes me sick And destroy the forces that control our pestilent existence I step outside and all I see is our deterioration When we're gone all that remains Will be plastic implantations So everyone climb aboard And I can't tell the Christians from Satan's congregation Nonstop to damnation! This run away machine Someone said "its Entropy" well its too late now Never slowing down We're far to gone We keep adding to this pile Ands keeps me bound to the underground Just wanna sit back and listen for a while to this It's in my heart and in my soul Wall of sound that surrounds me I wanna kill you with my rock and roll Can't take it anymore, don't wanna think about it, it makes me sick And destroy the forces that control our pestilent existence This pestilent Existence It grows like a plague Humanity's persists in While we whither away
- Policeman
You want authority, you want a war with me,
What motivated you to reinforce all policy.
You want authority, you want a war with me,
And any opposition, you suppress for a salary.
When I see you I should feel safe
But I don't 'cause I know how you operate.
Policeman, policeman,
- Sunshine Fist Magnet
A cold December in a sleepy town
It's no different your a freak
And they don't want you around
Got daddy's car on a Friday night
Just a speed bump in a privileged life.
There ain't no justice if your not like them.
You stand out in the crowd like a target with your friends.
So much more than what they see,
- The Next Song
Stand in the crowd with your biggest pose
You hide it well but everybody knows you and
We watch just how you go along
Easily led into battle by the first song
Stalking your prey , single out the weak
And beat them down because you're incomplete
What's in your mind when our eyes are yours
We've seen your image and you're uniform before
- Toby
Toby was a friend of mine I met him back in school We had a bottle of liquor and a skate board ramp There was nothing else for us to do We got ourselves in and out of trouble every fuckin'day We had C.S.I. and outdoor suspensions for all the games that we would play Sometimes I feel like it's my fault Not a day goes by that I don't see his eyes I'll never understand the choice that Toby made Why did he die? Why did he die? Why did he die? Summer rolled around, I spent my nights getting drunk and staying out late Toby lived on the other side of town I didn't see him all summer so I couldn't wait To see him when school let in I could believe what my friend said Their words still echo in my head Suicide Toby's dead
- Ugly Desires
So you can`t get it up you`d better take you medication
Now you have an oily discharge running down your leg
You`re new girlfriend looks like the new sensation
Plastic face and lips hide the feelings of despair
I wanna feel like that
I wanna look like her
I wanna follow the leader and be part of the herd
These ugly desires that were instilled
- Walking Revolution
I never do what I'm told
I'm a fucking time bomb waiting to explode
I'm a walking revolution
I've git problems no solutions...damn
so you say I've got a problem with authority
well I just don't know what to do
cause all your rules & regulations
benefit no one but you
- War Machine Breakdown
You can kill from so far away,
Analyze, edit and display
You images of death with a spin, and decay
My hopes for a better day.
I can see you're in control,
Abusing what you hold.
Authority is bought and sold,
- World Dominator
Where do we go from here when all is lost?
Nothing gained but we've sure paid the cost.
Consciousness sold and bought,
Turn the box on, turn off all thought
About the world around you.
Consume so much it drowns you out,
Holding you to your station,
