1. Multinational Corporations
Multinational corporations
Genocide of the starving nations
2. Instinct of Survival
Advertise the product you make
Never give but always take
Kill and lie for security
Your shit on supermarket shelves to see
Instinct of survival
The multinational corporations
Makes its profit from the starving nations
Indigenous peoples become their slaves
From their births into their graves
The multinational corporations
Makes its profit from the starving nations
Another product for you to buy
You'll keep paying until you die
3. The Kill
There's nothing to gain
You have just been led
The kill, after death, the kill
The shit you were promised
Means nothing now you're dead
The kill, after death, the kill
4. Scum
In your mind
Nothing but fear
You can't face life
Or believe death's near
A vision of life
On television screens
An existence created
From empty dreams
Hide behind T.V.
Hide behind life
You should be living
But you only survive
Life holds nothing
But pain and death
Don't look for love
There is none left
5. Caught in a Dream
Surrounding spectacle
To occupy curiosity
Nullifies the need
To face reality
Forms of escapism
And entertainment
Occupy & disable thought
6. Polluted Minds
They not only pollute the air
They pollute our minds
They're destroying the earth
And destroying mankind
Polluted minds
Kill mankind
They don't give a shit
Long as profits are high
They don't give a shit
If people die
Polluted minds
Kill mankind
7. Sacrificed
I've been deceived
By my friends
And this is where
Our "friendship" ends
Sacrificed, sacrificed
Sacrificed, your soul sacrificed
The thoughts I had
Are now denied
And one day soon
I hope you DIE
8. Siege of Power
Siege of power
In your land
Too many problems
For you to understand
Siege of power
Inside your mind
Outward restrictions
To keep you in line
Siege of power - in your land
Too many problems - for you to understand
A slave of their power - you never question why
Your going to suffer - you're going to die
Siege of power - inside your mind
Outward restrictions - to keep you in line
You're a slave of their power - you never questioned why
You were made to suffer - you were born to die
Siege of power
They made you a tool
While others were ruling
You were being ruled
9. Control
There is a fascist
Inside of you
Controlling your life
And what you do
Fascist control
There is a fascist
Inside your head
Controlling your thoughts
Until your death
Fascist control
10. Born on Your Knees
Born on your knees
Life in chains
A slow death
Into your graves
Born on your knees
Born on your knees
Life of pain
Existence restricted
By material gains
Born on your knees
You fucking asshole
Born on your knees
Conditioned blind
Crawling to death
Revenge for your crime
Born on your knees
Born on your knees
From the womb torn
Live in chains
And die as you were born
Born on your knees
11. Human Garbage
Paid to obey
Forced to be silent
Human garbage
To be destroyed
Submit to darkness
Forced to conform
Human garbage
To be destroyed
Your mind is dead
Your thoughts are void
Human garbage
To be destroyed
12. You Suffer
You suffer...
But why?
13. Life?
Brought into this emptiness
Never hope or choice
Emotionless and cold
This is life?
Illusions shattered
An existence of lies
A constant struggle
Freedom denied
At their feet - submission
No sanctuary in death
Drugged up, fucked up
Is that all you're worth?
14. Prison Without Walls
Trapped - inside your head
Insular, living dead
Existing for a purpose you'll never find
Inducements, distortions command your mind
External sources maintain control
Programmed existence, fulfill your role
You've got a brain, shake off the reins
Smash the shackles, break the chains
15. Point of No Return
Systematic rape of nature
Profit precedes need
Maintaining economic stature
Steal the fruit yet leave no seed
And of future generations?
What of their inheritance
A world of contamination
Poisoned by our ignorance
Oblivious to reality
Conscience spurned
Beyond the point of no return
16. Negative Approach
Nothing I can say
That hasn't already been said
Generic words & thoughts
Similarly expressed
This primitive stance
Feelings of angst
Matters relating
To circumstance
"Unfounded action -
just part of the faction"
Conform? I wouldn't give you
The satisfaction
17. Success?
Climb the ladder, your security
Upward social mobility
Consume the lies "It's what you need"
Vicious circle of mindless greed
Where is your success gained from?
What of the lives you're shat upon?
Caught in the web you'll play the game
An artifical life but who's to blame?
18. Deceiver
Becoming weary of your lies
You disguise the truth belies
Only fooling yourself
Pretend to bite the hand that feeds
But you won't discard your security
The transparency of your fantasy
19. C.S.
Eminent
Arrogant
Ignorant
Affluent
Desensitized
Devoid and blind
All compassion nullified
Paragon of virtue
(Paragon of shit)
20. Parasites
Permissive slaves
To their methods of greed
From our needs
The leeches feed
When will you see?
We'll never be free
While we sanction
This plutocracy
21. Pseudo Youth
Same pre-determinated
Pattern, game, rules
Uniformity
Conformity
How long can you hide the truth
Now you've settled down
Reflected on your past
The pose, the look, the stance
All part of the act
22. Divine Death
Cleansing impurity
Seizure of insecurity
Divine death
Individuality disabled
Blinded by fables
Divine death
Easy prey
You will pay
Mourn life's loss
Rotting on that cross
Divine death
23. As the Machine Rolls On
Hiding behind symbols
Self-delusion
Plenty of questions
(And no solutions)
Visions of change
A mere illusion
Futile dreams
Of revolution
Flows of rhetoric
Won't influence change
Their will is subdued
Their minds enslaved
24. Common Enemy
Bitching
Back-stabbing
Senseless in-fighting
"United we stand
Divided we fall"
The common enemy that overshadows us all
25. Moral Crusade
A superiority complex
Pious, holy to the hilt
Outwards displays of cleanliness
Masking inner feelings of hate and guilt
Your morality is hypocrisy
Obsessive self-esteem
Enforcing your ideals
Your puritanical dream
Gather your flock
Gullible fools
Dictate restrictions
26. Stigmatized
Blissfully ignorant
Content and unaware
Not your problem
Why should you care?
Not normal
An easy target for release
Infected from birth
This sickening disease
You sanctimonious slime
Understanding discarded
The truth is clear
It's you that's retarded
27. M.A.D.
Stark, bleak, wasted
Devastated
When?
All life
Totally annihilated
Die!
Does it have to be this way
Is this the price we're gonna pay?
28. Dragnet
The ascension of human intelligence
To atomic genocide
Homo Sapiens = the disease the cause the pollution
Erase the aeons of evolutions
Pushed too far, just a matter of time
Seemingly nothing to halt the tide...
...Except the end - accept the end?
