Suffocation
Choking on wants, choking on my needs
Drowning in a sea of ignorance and greed
I feel like i’m stuck in a rut, same shit everyday
Suffocated by life, have to break free

ch.Classism weighs us down
sexism divides us
racism destroys us
suffocation

My job is my death, economic cradle to the grave

 

Inhuman Disgust
When i walk around..sometimes i get sick of what i see
All the problems that we have created and refuse to set right
We destroy our environment, destroying ourselfves
Wars in the ghetto, war with police, divisions in the scene
It makes me hate people, makes up my rage
Being here makes me feel like a minority
Surrounded by carbon copy college kids
All the apathy disgusts me

 

The Untold
How many stories about their untold cries?
Animals screaming, vivisection and testing
They rot in their cages, doctors cutting and spraying
Butchers and doctors are one in the same

ch. Untold death, untold cries, untold screams, nightmare continues

Mechanical animal slaughter is modern day warfare
The holocaust continues inside the labs
The pain and torture animals endure are passed on to you
From the chemicals in your milk to the anitbiotics in the dead food
If we could look into their eyes we would know the truth

 

Barcodes
Barcodes tatooed on newborn babies, got them into the system as soon as they could breath
Their lives worth as much as the tatoo ink that was used to label the newborn breed

chorus
The newest generation of conformed youth cannot be stopped
No matter what you do, they’ll rise above all

The children of tomorrow have a hope, they won’t be corrupted by society or the pope
They’ll survive the shit you put them through, no matter what you do

 

It's Begun

 

Reflections Of The Truth
Looking in the mirror, what do we see?
Do we see ourselves? No..we see what we are not
Natural beauty standards do not apply
They have been lost in a sea size zeros

How can we fight the standards of a fucked up system while it enslaves us?
How can we fight it when we can’t stop fighting ourselves?
I look in the mirror, I do not see myself
I see what I am not, I see what they want

I hate, I hate the jail I have created for myself
I want to tear down the walls
Grab the keys, let yourself out
It’s harder than it sounds
But we can do it together
or it won’t be done at all

 

Born/Buy/Consume/Die
At birth we are taught to buy
The more we consume the more they die

The shoes we wear, the shampoo in our hair
The food we eat, the cars on the street
How many animals died for the cigarettes we smoke?
What about those in the sweatshops who made those clothes?

Go to Mcdonald’s, have another coke
I hope that dead thing on a stick tasted good
Their meat destroys the land, kills the air
Enslaves the people that once lived there

Think about what we buy, and who had to die for our wants

 

How Dare They?
We stand, we fall, the movement marches on
For our rights, we fight against what is wrong
Stand up for freedom, freedom for us all
Radical ideas are dangerous but they can’t kill them all

Sitting in jail, charged criticism with a sign
Prison full of the poor and minorities, no money so they do the time
Racist system, disposable laws, how dare they take our freedom
We’ve been labeled criminals for doing nothing wrong
If they do it to us, they can do it to you
How comforting is America when a witchunt is at hand
Martial law in Philadelphia has been declared
Political prisoners, political trial, we stand, we fall, the movement marches on

 

Carrying The Cross Of Ignorance
These people worship God and preach of jesus christ
using a hypocritical bible as a means to support their hate
To them AIDS is a gift from god, used to exterminate sinners
One cannot kill in the name of preserving life
No different than the Klan or nazis sick plan, hating and despising what they don’t understand

Sick, conservative religous prix take rejoice in people’s death,
bomb abortions clinics and take refuge in our country’s nuclear strength

 

Bloodlines
From father to son, from bad to worse
Bloodlines of Texas, lineage of office
Lineage, bloodlines, hereditary executioners
From innocent Iraqi women and children to 138 on death row

In the new millenium, do politicians need brains
When they can get into office based on their father’s name?

Decreasing education, women’s bodies in chains
Compassionate conservatism means our freedom is taken away?
Father came before you and now he’s back again
Whispering in your ear and controlling your campaigns
Against the poor and less privileged of the nation

 

Taken Too Much
They’ve taken so much, but what have they given?

They’ve taken so much, taken their land, taken their lives, destroyed their culture
Brushed them under the social carpet to a small existence, almost no existence

chorus
They’ve taken so much, but what have they given?

They’ve taken so much from the land, destroy it everyday, they don’t understand
Destroy the earth, destroy ourselves, they have ruined our chance to survive

Do you realize columbus day is a national holiday and on this day the massacre and
enslavement of native americans is celebrated? When we sit down at thanksgiving to eat,
are we thankful for the food, or the fact that we and our people weren’t slaughtered by the
thousands. Are you thankful that your homes weren’t destroyed
and taken from you? I am.

 

Politricks
Corporations whisper in their ears while filling their pockets full of dollars
They don’t need to listen to the people when the rich put them in office
Phillip Morris, Procter & Gamble, and Coors are our leaders
Pulling the strings of the puppets is all that we are seeing

We can vote for corporations, no need for a 2 party system
votes are thrown away, money is the only vote that matters in politricks
Live by the dollar, die by the dollar, is the way of life
They live, the poor die, and we have no justice

 

Above Us
Who’s the man with a gun to your head, who’s the pig who beats you down instead
Fighting crime, heroes to the eyes Heroes? Fuck’em, cashing in on their own crime

chorus
They’re above the law, we’re beneath their feet
So they can step on us and the others who do their jobs

Corruption has taken it’s place in the cities
How can you feel safe when the protectors have sold out?
To the rich, the politicians, the drug lords, and the elite
another corruption in this fucking system

They will protect you if they approve of you
if you look different you go from a victim to a suspect
Prejuduice goes farther than race
we’re all guilty criminals for the crimes they commit

 

War On Dissent
Cops on the street, protests suppressed
People’s voices are silenced and they want us to repent?
Pigs in their riot gear, vinegar in the air
Beaten, gassed, imprisoned, and shot to protect rich bastards

ch.Cop=fascist when human rights are denied

“You can’t hold a sign here, do you think you have the right?”
“You think you can speak your mind, for that you have to fight.”
We can’t think, we can’t speak, we can’t walk, we can’t even wear our clothes
We can’t rant or yell a loud fuck you
Well fuck you pig, your badge, your gun, you DA, and your lawful repression
We will not back down, we will dissent, and you will hear our voices

 

They Kill For Us
Is it right to kill a killer?
Can you right a wrong with a wrong?
Cops have permission to kill at will
Why aren’t they sitting on the electric chair?
War on revolutions, war on the poor
Killing the homeless, African immigrants (xenophobia is ok?)
Don’t kill for me, you kill enough as it is

 

A Human Creation
War: created by man
It’s all some know
Fighting ourselves and each other
It’s our nature

Some fight for freedom
Some fight for money
Some fight for power
Some fight for the economy

Some fight for religion
Which seems to be a hypocrisy
When killing for something holy
Is the most unholiest of things

It’s the biggest disregard for life
What’s the reason, why fight?
I don’t want to die, but some volunteer
Either out of blind patriotism or a failing job market

Maybe they will draft us again
To fight their WARS
Against the people’s will
Which many countries have ignored

So why do we fight?
Are we really free?
When we live in a world
Where killing is glorified
By the human race creating war
We have created our own destruction
In every city, every town
On a worldwide scale

 

The Facade Is Crumbling
A crack in the surface, broken reflections
A horrible vision has cracked the mirror
The sytem can’t stand to see its creation
They can’t stand to see the opposite reflection of themselves
The facade starts to crumble and now everyone can see
That America’s liberty is only skin deep
Home of the brave, land of the free
Where the brave are persecuted and nothing is free
