IS THIS THE PRICE OF FREEDOM
Powers That Be
power and greed / decimating human rights
total dominance / we continue to fight
third worldization / of the underpriviledged class
starved into submission / how long will you last

land of the free / home of the depraved
the powers that be / you're the ones to blame
land of the upper class / home of our graves
the powers that be / you're the ones to blame

burning with rage / painfully aware
our voice of protest / will never be aired
bound and gagged / forced into silence
with nothing to lose / we resort to violence

to the powers that be / may you burn in flames

 Empty Promises
how can i trust / what i don’t understand
these crooked politicians / raping the land
you say that you care / your promises are lies
profits increase / as the third world dies

i see you talking / but you don’t say a thing

 

 
M.O.A.B.
tons of explosives / dropped from the sky
eliminating / all life as we know
at what point / do we wake up and see
our children are dying

a massive destruction / to demoralize those left on earth
the mother of all bombs / eliminating all that exist

the build up continues / as we·re all victims
victims to the power / of the puppets of money
hostages of the state / of greed and tyranny
our life has no value

massive ordinance air blast

Aftermath Of War
innocent victims / leaving shredded flesh
another bombing nightmare / death·s bold statement
hundreds dead / and still more dying

the aftermath of war

families left wondering / because nothing·s been heard
the pain of no closure / bodies recovered
but only pieces remain / it just doesn·t ease the shame

the aftermath of war

 

Wage Slavery
you gave me this life / that you·ve taken control
you say this is freedom / but you·ve taken my soul
you never once taught me / how to stand on my own
just thrown to the wolves / cold and alone

is this how it·s supposed to be / been stripped of my dignity
is this all that·s left for me / this wage slavery

 

 

 

 

Coporate Genocide
in the name of security / human rights are stripped
targeting the masses / of those who sought asylum
profiled by race / religion or nation
in the name of security / no right exist

is this the price of freedom?

starting a race war / by killing the innocent
divided by color / all cultures to blame
desensitized to killing / it·s all in a day·s pay
corporate genocide / to die for your race

is this the price of freedom?
Grinding Us Down
punch in on time / but never enough
threaten your workers / and always want more

keep pushing and grinding us down

enough is enough / as we drag you out back
and fire the shot / that takes our life back

keep pushing and grinding us down

BORN WORK DIE
Question
Have you ever wondered why the air is poisoned?
And why our earth is slowly collapsing?
No, no, no, I don’t think you have
You say that you care, but I don’t think you do
Tired of the abuse, the earth will fight back
Nowhere to run, no time to react
Famine, fire disease are headed you way
Because you’re inner self has been led astray
Satin and gold are charged into iron famine, fire, disease when the comet shall run
You gave them your freedom and they’ve stolen our earth
Is police brutality what you deserve?
Who are they protecting, and who do they serve?
By obeying their laws and believing their lies
You gave them the power to destroy our lives
Think for yourself and open your eyes
QUESTION YOUR MIND

 

 Kept In Control
Armed with guns that can see through the night
Gas masks and tanks, they’re headed for you
Desensitized and programmed to shoot on sight
Big brother’s militia smashing right down
A nine-digit number has replaced your soul
Ignorant and blind, you’re kept in control

 

 

 
Controlled Confusion
Your thoughts fed to you through the tv screen
Never even realize what you’ve seen
Controlled confusion
Through the television illusion
Crawling through life doing what you’re told
Blindly accepting everything you’re sold
Taught to obey their every word
Following the masses like a mindless herd

 

 

 

 

 

 

My Mind Is My Own
A spine with limbs, no mind or soul
A human machine, programmed and controlled
No thoughts and no will of your own
Wake up crawling to the alarm clock tone
Working and slaving your life away
Can’t think for yourself, so you must obey
No thoughts and no will of your own
Locked safe away in your suburban home
Making money for a boss you’ve never seen
Your sweat is for oil for their war machine
No thoughts and no will of your own
Working your fingers right down to the bone
I refuse to follow, like a mindless drone
No puppet on a string, my mind is my own
Punch in – punch out – punch in – punch out – PUNCH!
Feeding A War
Deals / feeding a war killing some more
Trade coke for guns / large hidden sums
State funded cash / your future won’t last
Killing some more / feeding a war
Feeding a war / feeding a war / feeding a war
Dealer’s / don’t give a shit / Take your first hit
War on the poor / come back for more
Spend your last dime / rotting your mind
Killing some more / feeding a war
Feeding a war / feeding a war / feeding a war
Truth / hidden by lies / c.i.a. spies
System falls down / smile turns to frown
Third world unfed / our country misled
Killing some more / feeding a war
Feeding a war / feeding a war / feeding a war

You’re feeding a war

 Your Tomorrow
Madmen continue their race for power
As the police state strengthens every hour
You’ll see your children drowning in a sea of blood
You’ll see your children drowning in a sea of blood
Freedom stripped away like fresh from limb
Your future is decided by these evil rich men
This is your tomorrow!

Break The Mold
Thrown into this world / forced to crawl and swallow shit
Searching for some truth / but endless lies are all you get
From the day you were born / you did as you’re told
Twelve years of school / just to fit their mold

Another Victim
Lying in a cold sweat, trembling with fear
Awakened by the agonizing screams in your head
Another victim, victim of a senseless war
Injecting your veins to escape from the pain
Caused by the horrifying memories of war

 
Born Work Die
Your mindless, been raised by their lies
Been guided, kept marching in line
Betrayed by the government you trusted
Disfigured by the bombs you’ve built
BORN WORK DIE IN THE HELL YOU’VE CREATED
How can you support this system
That will erase you own existence?
Fly their flags, and build their bombs, and pray your nightmares don’t become reality

 

 

 Suicide By Cop
Can’t take the pressures of daily life
Can’t take the strain of a job and a wife
There’s nothing left to relieve this pain
Will someone put a bullet in my brain
Make this stop / suicide buy a cop
Don’t have the courage to take my own life
Wanna lay the blame on my wife
Going out this door with my guns held high
Gonna make sure they’ll make me die

Wasting Away
Crawling through this endless maze
My mind spinning inside my skull
Passing through a useless phase
Another day stagnant and dull
Another day wasting away
Trapped inside this human zoo
Time stands still in my holding cell
Another day with nothing to do
Wasting away in my self made hell
Everyday is wasting away

 

FAR FROM HOME
Into Oblivion
Come Monday morning I’ll be better off dead
Pissed stained pants vomiting blood
There’s too much pressure in my head
So I keep on drinking till I’m blowing mud

Drink myself into oblivion

You can’t understand the way we live
You’ve strangled my emotions
I got nothing left to give
Ideas grow old, feelings go numb
Newcastle brown ale, I want some

Drink myself into oblivion

 

 

Master Race Control
Mindless pawns waiting for the battle to begin
As man destroys man for the color of his skin
Millions are slaughtered in religious wars
As the businessman dreams of complete control

Master race control
Master race control

Raised in ignorance, manipulated by greed
Stumbling blind through this lie that you lead
So proud so strong, just the businessman’s tool
So proud so strong, just the businessman’s fool

Master race control
Master race control
Far From Home
Waking up in this place again
How did I get here, and where have I been?
Disillusioned and all alone
Have I strayed too far to make it home?

Lost alone inside my brain
Far from home, alone in pain

I don’t understand what has happened to me
There’s nothing left but this misery
I don’t know where I went wrong
I’ve been stumbling blind for far too long

Lost alone inside my brain
Far from home, alone in pain

 

 

 

 Wasteland
Walking through this wasteland alone
There’s nothing here but burnt bodies and bone
Only memories of a time when our life was so precious
But now all the beauty is gone

You transformed out earth into concrete and steel
And destroyed us with technology, how do you feel

Your children now wander alone
With a hunger that cuts to the bone
Out in the cold with no food and no shelter
And nowhere left to call a home

You transformed out earth into concrete and steel
And destroyed us with technology, how do you feel
Innocence Lost
Just two years old and you treat me like shit
Every time I make a mess, I get a hit
So, I’m lying in bed waiting to die
Too tired to scream, too scared to cry
I can’t trust the ones I love
So I keep the pain inside

Blunt impact to head trunk and extremities!

Days turn to weeks, I’m living in fear
Crying out in silence
So no one can hear
Forced to drink bleach
Been beaten with a bat
Your burning cigarettes
Leaving scars in my back
There’s nowhere to run
There’s nowhere to hide
I can’t trust the ones I love
So I keep the pain inside

Blunt impact to head trunk and extremities!

Barely able to crawl
I’m being thrown against the wall
Locked in the closet
Chained to the floor
Please daddy don’t drink no more

Battered child, lost innocence!
