Hard times are comin your way
You're gonna have to rise above it some day
Organize your life and figure it out
Or you'll go under without a doubt

Hard times! Hard times!
Seems i'm bein forced into a mold
Hard times! Hard times!

Take a look around
At what's going down
Walls are crumbling
They are tumbling down
People getting mad
Tired of being had
Time has come to fight
For what we know is right

In this iron age of hypocrisy
The war against the weak goes on continuously
Can't you smell the bodies burning
Taste of death in the air
Not for a cause but just for greed

Mad scientist experiment in torture and in pain
Murdering the helpless who's this meant to gain

A divided nation in these times of hate
So much racial tension say it's not too late
Won't you please god save us all
Won't you please god save us all
See the prophecies of things to come
Can the human race exist as one
Or the fire of disaster be the final doom
All in its path it will consume - fight back

Fighting it's such a struggle and I got so far
Got so far to go
Don't want to except no answers
But I ain't got nothing
Got nothing to show

It's such a struggle but I gotta do it
By myself

So much confusion in this life I've been living
It makes me wonder what I'm searching for
Reflections of my past present and future
Things that always seem to haunt my soul

Born and raised in the slums of the world
One side of life is all I've ever known
The hard core truth it's a struggle for life yeah

Ignorant fools don't believe in the truth
They are doomed to live in illusion and fear
Cut loose the doubts that arise in your heart
The time of redemption is near

Now in these times of frustration and anger
We've come out of the darkness that kept us blind
With the torch and wisdom and the sword of knowledge

In these days of confusion much illusions try to getcha
Try to trick you Every single day
Much aggravation and frustration, devastation always heading my way
And I know why I'm sufferin', looking for satisfaction my mind keeps leading me astray

And I know and I see spiritually there's gotta be a better way

Can't get distracted from achieving the ultimate goal in this human life

The organized slaughter of the innocent
Can't you see this is a hellish state we're in
No sympathy in their hearts at all
At the death camps in our midst

Execution without a trial
Think about that for a while
The day they're doomed they're doomed to be killed

can tell you that the murder's plain to see
Every time I think about the unborn's misery
I know that every soul's got a right to live
And so you take that life that only god could give

Oh, you know it's true
Oh, your body your choice
Now listen to your unborn babies voice

Ain't really got nothing to say
It all comes across in a negative way
You, you best learn about bout be humbled
'Cause you too you'll wind up stumbled

Not one bit of substance
In a word they speak
When they get outspoken

Lie to all your friends
The trouble never ends
You're gonna take a fall
And I don't care at all

Stabbed me in the back
Someone I trusted
Let's get things straight

The youth of today, run wild in the streets
They all try to win, in the face of defeat
They still, they kill, they're going straight to hell
They don't hear and they don't see that they're not free

When I walk down these city streets
I see the victims and the casualties
Do they stand, a chance today

God damn alarms are ringing in my head
Wake up world or we're all gonna wind up dead
Look around I see the hate and the greed
Lifestyles of the rich still people dying in need

Wake up world things are gettin' serious
I'm looking at the future and it don't look too good for us
If we don't take the situation at hand

You'd better face those facts
It's the blind leadin the blind
And there ain't no turning back
There's a rhythm to this madness
And I think it's gettin strange
I can feel it in the air it's time
We gotta rearrange
It's time for us we gotta make

In this lifetime I know I found what's real
So hard I try to control my mind
I'm coming back, coming back
I feel it in my heart

I know I lived a life of strife
And this could be the last chance in this
Ad I know I got to change my ways

Hard times are comin your way
You're gonna have to rise above it some day
Organize your life and figure it out
Or you'll go under without a doubt

Hard times! Hard times!
Seems i'm bein forced into a mold
Hard times! Hard times!

Why you messing around with me Pushin me around Values changing But I can't get caught in it today We won't lose with what we've got Cause we'll just sit and watch it all rot Keep your ideas But keep your distance from me Keep off my back cause the things you do I don't wanna see I don't wanna see Wanna see how far I can go Test my patience see what I know Just not happy with nothing to do Getting bold when there's more than two

Ancient reminders of worlds gone by, concrete tombstones reach for the sky, like hieroglyphic writings on the wall, modern man just doesn't seem to hear his call, force of times behind the changes bound to come, primitive man was once forced to succumb, both caught in a web of eternal quest, wiped out by their search for conquest, taken back to a land of wonder and of fear, prehistoric creatures stalked the wild frontier, all can be told in unlocking of the past, cyclical repetition ah we see the contrast, skeletons in a closet as dark as the mind, hidden truths there shine light for the blind, somewhere back in time when cave dwellers walked, was a spoken language that needed not be talked, extinction found the way to man of yesterday, only to occurr in tragedies today, lost innocence in the maze of confusion, sets the final stage for this drama of illusion, simplicity's dig to unfold great mysteries, as we plunge forward engulfed by our destinies, what will future man uncover in our ruin, Kali-Yuga progresses wheels of time are spun, technological society buried by ignorance, fossils for decay victims of circumstances

Got to find a solution
To the battle raging in my heart
Timelessness it seems
Has no place in the movement
That we all must know
Nothing seems too clear
Illusions seem so permanent
When you doubt or think you're in control

Memories of the times you had
That's the way you see yourself
You fight for your rights
You fight to survive
You come into this world
With nothing except yourself
You, you leave this world
With nothing except yourself

I just can't get through to you
Despite all the ways
I try or any of the things I do
Maybe I'd be better off talking to a wall
'Cause you ain't making any sense at all

I'm walking and I'm talking
And I'm trying and I'm lying

Wastin my time servin my mind
For sense pleasures I can find
Gotta get back, back to the truth
You know it was left behind
It's so easy to see, if you wanna be free
Don't wanna be just a slave
Cause no matter how you choose
You know you'll lose

I tried to stop myself
Told you those games ain't good for yourself
Gave ya advice cuz I thought you could hear
Better listen closely cuz your end is near

Won't show you no mercy at all
Gonna kick ya, kick ya when you're takin your fall
Won't show you no mercy today

Street justice happening all around you see
Won't try to talk my way out
Don't try to play those speech games anymore
Overpower-overcome

Street justice! Street justice! Street justice!

No way out gotta stand strong

I'll never forget when I looked in your eyes
My destiny unfolded to me
You tucked my soul, delivering me
From all of my pain, setting me free

I know I lost control, my mind was in a rage
But then you came to ease the pain
You are the only one, who makes me feel this way

Walking alone in the cold dark night
Got a chill in my bones no relief’s in sight
So much time spent with revenge as a thought
In this life alone so many wars I’ve fought

Oh leave what you know behind
I will take you
Beyond the limits of your mind

Quest? searching for the answers
Seek? the meaning of your life
Truth? in knowing life's perfection
Now? as infinite as time

Be free from your mind?
and travel through time
See what you'll find?

Strugglin in the streets just trying to survive
Searchin for the truth is just keepin us alive
Gotta break these shackles gotta break these chains
Said the only way we'll do it is if we use our brains
Said there's gotta be some meaning to the purpose of life
I know there must be more than the struggle and strife
Cause I'm looking for the answers and I need a clue
Cause my mind's so disturbed now what do I do?

Everyday and night
I walk these same old streets
Nothing seems the same without her

Sleepless nights
Days of misery
When will I learn to live my life again?

All you hippies better start to face reality,
All your far fetched dreams of anarchy,
Better start to see things the way they are,
Cause the way things
Are going they won't be goin' far.

World peace can't be done.
It just can't exist.
