You know the drill! Assume the imposition Embrace free market And abandon your ideals They say we're lazy and coddled, unpatriotic and addle-brained Sitting in judgement atop family fortunes And their ill-gotten gains If you can't relate at all, then you're a complacent son of a bitch And if you'd rather watch it all, then you deserve everything that you get This isn't a warning, we've moved beyond the time for games We don't want your pity but we're begging for your change Bogus paradigm Force-fed from the beginning No wonder we're capsizing The water is filling our lungs Getting hard to breathe, harder to believe that cynicism reigns Who will take responsibility For patching what remains? And if you can't relate at all, then you're a complacent son of a bitch If you'd rather watch it fall, then you deserve everything that you get This isn't a warning, we've moved beyond the time for games Fuck your pity and we don't need your change

Idiot Box 02:16
We'll be right back after a word from our sponsors... Reality is no good for business So they've decided to fabricate their own Truth won't drive stock prices higher And won't keep you a loyal, subjugated buyer Can you feel the itch inside your brain? It's that urgent need to consume They're building your own tomb Quick fixes and magic elixers are only a band-aid on The gushing artery that is our economy Do you really believe a reprieve is coming soon? Talking heads only posit one-sided, short-sighted solutions That will leave us desolate within a generation or two With no hope of renewal or possible chance of survival What do you fuckin' believe? A reprieve is coming soon? Stop lending credence to these fools! Can you feel the itch inside your brain? It's that urgent need to consume They're building your own tomb Quick fixes and magic elixers are only a band-aid on The gushing artery that is our economy Rip your umbilical cords from the wall And will you turn that fucking thing off?!

I've given everything that I can give but that's not much I'm clinging to this crutch Love is such a funny thing it really don't mean anything The voice of my frustration speaks to time that I have wasted Speak to me in tongues and maybe I could understand That I am just one man Feeling stuck, I don't give a fuck about the Five Year Plan Writing letters to myself Return to sender, you need help Headed for a breakdown Screamed so loud I woke myself From the deepest sleep I keep Secrets hidden in my dreams So no one could ever see The darkness hidden within me Dreams are always incomplete Out of touch, out of reach Obstacles so obsolete I am the shadow of defeat Don't mean anything to me, don't mean anything Is it such a crime to take things one step at a time? You'd better fall in line! Battle tested, bullet proof, bleeding through these exit wounds The breath of death against my neck, a constant threat One step forward, two steps back, feeling angry, feeling trapped Am I about to snap? Criticize through empty eyes, never even asking "why"? Jumping to conclusions based on all of your confusion Headed for a breakdown Screamed so loud I woke myself From the deepest sleep I keep Secrets hidden in my dreams So no one could ever see The darkness hidden within me Dreams are always incomplete Out of touch, out of reach Obstacles so obsolete I am the shadow of defeat Don't mean anything to me, don't mean anything

Thrasher '89 02:32
This demon I despise, baptized in blood and lies It's been a wild ride, I've said my last good-bye This is the battle cry, there's no place left to hide Pawn off the trophy wives, burn all the suits and ties CANCEL THE FOURTH OF JULY! I'm drowning in these waves Dancing on these flames We'll never be the same again And the memories remain I've been soaking up the stains Never turn the page again Culture in decline, vultures soaring high Wrong turns I despise, I'm scratching out my eyes This devious device, intent to entice Never think things twice, a bargain at any price GET OUT OF MY LINE OF SIGHT! I'm drowning in these waves Dancing on these flames We'll never be the same again And the memories remain I've been soaking up the stains Never turn the page again

I'm sorry, you'll have to forgive me For you see, I'm a bit preoccupied Too little sleep, too many cigarrettes I walk through a world that's often apathetic and unkind Sometimes it's hard for me to give a shit When the impact made is too minuscule to judge Pain and suffering, no rain and no reply I only watch my feet 'cause I can't look to the sky Freedoms I've taken for granted I'm white, I rarely need them Original sin's a privilege? Fuck that, I don't believe it! Who are we to be the speaker for the dead? I can't erase these thoughts from inside my head

Not much to report, it was just another day Indentured servitude to the system he obeyed Cyclical routine, always running, never reaching Ever grasping at the straws of a "so-called" successful life Might as well hang himself by his Windsor now And save them the trouble of Leeching the life from his veins one nine-to-five at a time Beats the back-breaking assembly line In the end, the result remains the same A wasted shell of a man who lived his whole life a slave Enjoyment through monetary gain He was unable to obtain But Danny was able to scrape enough scratch together For an extremely precious purchase To bring ultimate pleasure, the ultimate high Bided his time Found it wrapped up just for him And inside, as a young man said, "are other worlds than these" Not much to report, it was just another day The smoke drifted upward and carried him away Not much to report, it was just another day The smoke drifted upward and carried Daniel away

Never have I felt so alone Never have I felt so cold Didn't think I'd sink this low Thought that I was in control So you analyze me and you criticize me Somehow intertwined we drift apart so blindly I cannot forget your face It's like I'm floating out in space Once upon a time we're told Life is such a winding road My mind is set on overload Sick of going with the flow So you analyze me and you criticize me Somehow intertwined we drift apart so blindly I cannot forget your face It's like I'm floating out in space
8.
Will I live to see tomorrow? Sailing on the sea of sorrow Breaking waves against my bow Is it too late to turn around? To navigate these wayward seas In hopes of finding land unseen Unconquered by these greedy kings We don't owe you anything! I am just a link on a chain Someone screaming, "Anchors aweigh!" Somehow all these open doors Keep leading me to open floors To sail the seven seas in search of A destination or a purpose Paradise below the surface Purgatory, you have cursed us! All washed up, there's nothing to see This ghost ship rides the winds of defeat S.O.S! This vessel in distress Sinking, we regress The water's to our necks!

Darkest Days 02:52
Paint me up, I am your voodoo doll Throw me up against the wall Cut me up, dust me off again 'Cause I am ready to crawl I can't see this image of me I might be something bigger than me Stick to your guns or stick your guns in the ground We're never going down These darkest days, outcast by shadows past Silhouette of wither and decay My dying wish, to make some sense of this But lately I've got nothing to say I can't see this image of me I might be something bigger than me Stick to your guns or stick your guns in the ground We're never going down
