Everyone's been Branded
Paste the logo straight to your head
From Buildings, Casinos, Schools and Steaks
To your houses, your cars, your entire estates
Commodified hatred
Glorified Greed
Knee to the throat
Slowly Let Bleed
Their own special interest
Number one nepotist
Confessed Nationalist
Bold faced conartist
Blindly Following
Because one day "the billionaire might be me"
Communities crumbling
Never a cent from the trickle economy
History shows us they'll be voted in
Militias assemble gunning down civilians
Lining the Streets they're backed by the blue
Tyrannical Government ends up being THEM

Endless March
01:36
|
|||
|
Don't Let a single victory
Slow the march towards change
Don't be consumed by apathy
It's just a single stride
Endless march
Into oblivion
Their boots still firmly on our necks
Don't forget this is just another step
an endless march of inequality
All encompassing brutality
Don't Let a single victory
Slow the march towards change
Don't be consumed by apathy
It's just a single stride

Pay Attention
01:29

Don't see oppression?
What do you see?
Only those in your tiny circle?
Just take a listen
Just for a moment
Try and hear some one else's voices
If you don't want to do a thing
At least take a listen
Hear their pain
validate what they're going throuigh
You wont lift a finger
so just lend an ear
you don't need no class
to afford to pay attention
The least you can do is try to pay attention
Do you think it's all lies?
History is fake?
Jesus is White?
Racism is Over?
It's a liberal ploy?
Just because of one murder?
Pay-a-fucking-tention
Just Pay-a-fucking-tention
Just take a listen
Just for one moment
Try and hear
Some one else's voices
the least you can do is try to pay attention
Don't think it's over..
the fight never ends
to create a perfect union?
we're all created equal?
time to fucking prove it!
Just pay-a-fucking-tention

Dance Tomorrow

Dance like theres no tomorow
and watch like it's the end of days
this might be the last thing you ever see!!
Fascist State
They're being voted in
by this rigged system
Just as they had planned
Leading us all by chains
towards endless armageddon
All we can do is dance
like there's no tomorrow
we just watch
as the country crumbles
being shared and followed
the whole world just laughs
as they watch us fail
just like they knew we would
stripping our freedoms right before our eyes
fascist state, lead by chains
nothing we can do so all we'll do is dance
it's the end of days, it's the end of days
Facist state
we will never win
we were never able
but we will not give in
we will all still chip in
and we'll dance like there's no tomorrow

Everything you do
and everything you say
your bullshit double standards
make me hate you every day
it should either apply to everyone
or nobody at all
it's just a matter of time
before your "empire" falls
you're just a hypocrite
everybody knows that you're full of shit
you're just a hypocrite
making enemies out of everyone

Conspiracy

Conspiracy
I can never believe anything
not what I hear or see
Don't even try to tell me anything
Nothing's true, nothings safe
it's all false, it's all fake
if perception is reality
then all I want to do is leave
Conspiracy
Looking through the lens of life
It's cloudy and refracted, it's all blurry and impossible
don't want to be proven right
things are already bad enough
Nothing's true, nothings safe
it's all false, it's all fake
if perception is reality
then all I want to do is leave
Conspiracy
I can never believe anything
not what I hear or see
Don't even try to tell me anything

Witchfinder
02:21
|
|||
|
Imposing his reign of terror
Village after village
Brutally torturing everyone that comes between
His diabolical schemes
threatening for them to leave
On the brink of sanity
Marshals on horse back ride
Paying the Price for falsity
Execute, Execute one man and two women
Suspected confessions of witches
charge the local magistrate
with keeping peace in the english civil war
Parliament of England
And the Constitutional Magistrate
Witchfinder General
What will you find in here
Sink or swim they'll always die
Most will die burned at the stake
"You took him from me!"

Streets
02:47
|

Depression, it cuts in deep
when it feels like no ones watching
Am i missing the point?
Or was I just missed?
Feeling cropped out
Of everything that exists
Calling Down the Streets
And they are Empty
Perception, Reflection, Forgotten? like "no one"?
It must just be me
but I know who I am
I know what I did and where I was
and that wasn't my motivation, no
but what was it?
Calling down the Streets
And they are empty
will somebody please
bring the ground to my feet
Completely aware of my place
but it doesn't feel better
or productive, at all
I don't feel the same or feel shame
or at all like it was a waste
but it's strange to barely be remembered
I know why I do things
Not for your validation
but is it for mine?
I don't know, not at all
looking back, does it feel good?
if no one cared or no one knows
did it even happen, does it even matter?
it's existential, bullshit squabble
that I tell everyone to ignore
but when I look back I'm not sure there's substance
I don't really even know who I am any more at all
Calling down the streets again
not knowing who I am
I really hope that this all will end
and I figure out what this is about

Road Dog
01:51

First one in last ones out
Under a house at Exit 12
4 Months old grabbed by the tuft
No pun intended but life is ruff
Outside is where you belong
Not taken by rabies
but by someone you've chosen
forever a road dog
shit right on top of the settlers graves
from Utah to Wyoming
catching field mice and hitching rides
next stop for us deep in oregon
shit right on the starting line
everytime
sitting shot gun
endless butt rubs
giving high fives
bang you're dead
and it will never end
cuz you are man's best friend
and it will never end

No War But Class War
01:43
|
|||
|
No war but class war
Segregate the masses
to turn on ourselves
be put in our place
to stay on the bottom while you stay on top
ensure a future for your next of kin
while burning the planet for personal gain
pile the bodies to climb to the top
it's never enough and you'll never stop
stock pile it all
keep demand high
just out of reach
of those who're in need
No war but class war

Extinction

Extinction
It's inevitable
Release guaranteed
Always expire
There's always an end
Time always wins
on this plane of existence
Crushing realization
It keeps marching
Slaughtering everyone
Empires always crumble
Their reign barely a memory

Everything is Free
03:12

Everything you want from me is free
Just tell me who I'm supposed to be
Creeping up you unsheathe the knife
Oh so quickly it will take my life
Pooling on the ground around me
Everything is free
Taking it all as you please
Everything is Free
Murdering us all
watching bodies fall
straight on the knife
in plain sight
Everything you want from me is free
Just how it's supposed to be
pulling close to your own knife
you will take your own life
just to prove you are right
you will take your life
just to win the fight
you will take your life
murdering us all
the whole world will fall
straight on the knife
there is no more life
Everything you want from me is free
Everything is free
