1. F# (Wake Up)
What have you been doing with yourself these years
I really think that you have no idea
You waste your time and pass your days with no pursuits
You take no interest in what's going on
One day, on your own
All your life you've been afraid
Of success and defeat
You've made your life a living Hell
Wake up [4x]
I think that you should take a look around
You'd be surprised at what you see
There's a world out there you never learned
It may be time to learn some new ideas
One day, on your own
All your life you've been afraid
Of success and defeat
You've made your life a living Hell
Wake up [4x]
Now is not the time to hide out in a cave
Or stick your head into the sand
It's time to face life on your feet and on your terms
Respect yourself or noone will
One day, on your own
All your life you've been afraid
Of success and defeat
You've made your life a living Hell
Wake up [4x]
2. When Freedom Dies
United in a time, a time of need
Against a common foe, the enemy
The years of death endured, the years of pain
Against an evil force, a force not sane
We become the enemy
When freedom dies for security
And then the world endured, a victory won
Against an insane man and his cohorts
But once the war was done, blind fear prevailed
And years of darkness came, freedom was nailed
We become the enemy
When freedom dies for security
We let our freedom die, we let it wane
We feared an enemy's atomic rain
But what was on our minds, what we became
We and the enemy
We are the same
We become the enemy
When freedom dies for security
We become the enemy
When freedom dies for security
3. Rise from the Ashes
Am I dreaming, am I alive, the final war, I did survive
One of the chosen. One of the few. A world in ruins because of who
Now you look around
See the world in ruins
Those few who survive
No begin again
Leaders soon arise
Factions splitting off
Liars soon come again
Life is hell again
4. Brainwashed
Radio, an insidious form, helps shape your thoughts making you conform
Programming music easy listening, help you achieve that moronic grip
Playing you regurgitated pap, selling products that are mostly crap
Rarely hearing music you want to hear, it bas an effect over all these years
Why don't you think for yourself
Live in this self made Hell
Television, the idiot tube, helps to raise our children as fools
Watch the news see what they want you to see, our awareness is limited by network
Moronic sit-coms and one-sided news alter your feeling give you conformist views
Why can't you get that garbage out of your head, you'd better off to read a
good book instead
Newspapers, what do they say, Not much I think when they want school kids to pray
Getting the facts from some daily news, you hate the system but adhere to its view
Blaming the dead because they can't complain, shielding officials holding them above
You'd better wake up and see what's plain to see, or end up a willing part of the machine
5. F#
Searching, for a new way you're looking for a way out of this mess you've
let build up around you
Believe what you see, Believe what you hear
It's time, to take charge of your on fife and start making decisions, stop
relying on others
Listen to what others have to say but don't take their word as law you've
got a mind of your own
You take too much advice you listen too much to others who think they know
better than you do
6. New Song
Closed books is what some people's minds are like
Shut tight, new ideas, they just always get passed by
Prejudice, living in their thoughts and deeds
Ignoring all the other people's needs
You say a double standard's OK
I'm telling you that this is insane
What is it that you've got in your fist
Could it be another one of your lists
Noone else can do the job just right
Unless they're Anglo-Saxon white
Foolish, the minds that have this attitude
You can't judge everybody by that rule
You say a double standard's OK
I'm telling you that this is insane
What is it that you've got in your fist
Could it be another one of your lists
No place in this country for this
Everyone has to have an equal place
Nazis, they lost it 40 years ago
Rednecks just realize this a little slow
You say a double standard's OK
I'm telling you that this is insane
What is it that you've got in your fist
Could it be another one of your lists
7. Critical Mass
The bio-sphere, the place we live
It seems like we don't give a damn
Other species flushed down the tubes
We need another race to rape
The way we live we will destroy
Every other living thing
'Til none are left except our race
And then we will destroy ourselves
Another oil spill
Atomic waste displaced
Another forest dies
Bring on the acid rain
Slightly insane, the type of greed
That makes a world unfair for life
Toxic wastes destroy the seas
While poison gas pollutes the air
A waste of life, while no one cares
The earth becomes a giant tomb
Critical mass will be achieved
And ruins will be all that's left
Another oil spill
Atomic waste displaced
Another forest dies
A Hell on Earth, what we create
Dragging life to death with us
All living things destroyed or used
By shortsighted human beings
We do these things, let them be done
Apathy creates despair
The damage done will be too great
The world wounded beyond repair
Another oil spill
Atomic waste displaced
Another forest dies
8. Game Over
9. Nightmares
I have been trapped
Inside these four walls
There is no future for
Those in this place
My cries for mercy
Fall on deaf ears
Padded walls locked indoors
No way out
Going mad, I must scream
Am I sane
Thoughts are hazed
Out of phase
Need to run from this place
Can't escape
Can't you believe
That I'm not mad
It's been a nightmare
I don't belong
Locked in this place
You've got me wrong
It's late at night
The guards are asleep
I open the door by
Stealing the key
Run from the light
Where madness stays
Now I've escaped
Run if you can
Escape if you dare
Flee for your life
Away from the light
Padded walls locked indoors
No way out
Going mad, I must scream
Am I sane
Thoughts are hazed
Out of phase
Need to run from this place
Can't escape
10. Buttfuck
11. Fight to be Free
I am sick and tired of the way you've let things slide
Just because we're young doesn't mean we can't decide
If you think that we ain't got a thought inside our heads
I'm telling you right now that you better think again
Now we'll see what we can do for ourselves
It's time to show us some concern
I'm sick of your goddamned apathy
It's time to stand up and make yourself three
You have held us back and pushed us down for all our lives
When it comes to running things you've done a half-assed job
It is time that you learned it's what you do not what you say
And if you refuse to learn we're gonna make you pay
Chorus
Viet-Nam and Lebanon, other people's wars
I won't fight unless it's right, corporate wars no-more
I believe this country's worth my life to help defend
I won't fight to help keep Dow Jones out of the red
1st vers
Chorus
12. Survive
Now we'll see what remains on this word
Only the strong will survive
A hopeless end for those without the will
Only the strong will survive
Now we'll see what remains for the weak, there's not much
A hopeless end for those without the will
Only the strong will survive
The Nuclear age has left it's mark
Only the strong will survive
13. Torture Tactics
Walk the path of hate
Leave others to their fate
Never looking back
Never feel regret
Alone you stand
Alone you fall
Feel no pity nor shame
Mercy, you have none
Fear the revolt will come
Your laws come from a gun
Alone you stand
Alone you fall
The tread of boots they fear
The passbooks they must bear
Freedom, they have none
Their only law, a gun
Alone you stand
Alone you fall
They walk the path oppressed
Their only one release is death
Perhaps their day will come
Then they will have the guns
Alone you stand
Alone you fall
14. Trail of Tears
Another day has passed you by
And now it seems that you don't care
You've let your life slip away
You feel no pain, you feel no joy
You've let your feelings fade away
You've let life tear apart your soul
Feel no pain [2x]
You must wake up and perceive
That you are not a victim here
You're a traveller through this life
Noone persecuted you
You've brought it down upon yourself
And now you're standing on the edge
Feel no pain [2x]
Take a look at where you are
And then look back to where you were
And think of how you got there
Work at repairing your life
You can't just throw it all away
You've got to stick it to the end
Feel no pain [2x]
15. Mothers Day
16. My America
Well I'm pig biting mad
At the things that people say
Those communist slobs
And the games that they play
'Cause it's
My America
My America
My America
My America
My America
17. Hang the Pope
Hang the Pope hang the Pope hang the Pope
Hang the Pope hang the Pope hang the Pope
Hang him with a fucking rope
Let's go to the Vatican, get him out of bed
Put the noose around his neck and hang him till he's dead
Hang the Pope hang the Pope hang the Pope
Hang the Pope hang the Pope hang the Pope
Hang him with a fucking rope
Let's go to the Vatican, get him out of bed
Put the noose around his neck and hang him till he's fucking dead
18. Lesbians
19. Emergency
Alcohol and pills, a night with some thrills
Go out with my friends and leave a good will
Some smoke and some buff, now I'm so tough
My ignorant habit gets deeper and deeper
I'm Batman, I'm Robin, I'm Bonnie & Clyde
For truth and justice, the American way
Now I've become what I wanted to be
But I can't face reality
Emergency [2x]
I've come a long way, do you hear what I say
There's no need to bother with an education
My school grades are dropping and I've lost my job
The pain in my soul gets weaker and weaker
The party has started it's Saturday night
Time to stretch my imagination
The darkness of night, a bright flashing light
There's no turning back, it's time to die
Emergency [4x]
An ambulance ride to a hospital bed
Feel such an effort to open my eyes
An IV tube, some hypo shots
My blood is polluted with conflicting drugs
The last thing I see as the darkness drops down
I am surrounded by nervous doctors
My body grows cold, my eyes won't stay open
Finally my heart stops it's useless struggle
20. Funky Noise
21. Technology
Look around tell me what you see, we are products of technology
The nuclear age has left its mark, it's up to us to avoid the dark
You don't care what's around
You you're blind and deaf
Just sit back and watch TV
Don't care what you're seeing
Whey can't you look around
And see your surroundings
Learn to think for yourself
Hear without listening, see without seeing, ignoring parts of reality
I'm wasting my time, I'm wasting my breath, on people who choose ignorance
22. Equal Rights
Prejudice is just another way of saying ignorant
Describing morons narrow mind and losers bloody frozen heart
People who can't see past skin or see what's a good man's head
Closed up thinking backwards mind all thought paralysed
Using any argument cause you don't want to use your head
Keeping evil ways alive even though they should have died
Freedom is a human right skin don't matter black or white
Equal Rights, Human Rights
Martin hunter a great man who wanted people to be sane
Killed by frightened ignorance even though it was too late
His message seems to be quite clear, why should we be ruled by fear
With his death a great man died but you can't kill his ideals
Let us leave behind us all these stupid racial arguments
Help make racial wars a distant unforgotten memory
Maybe hate will never die that doesn't mean we shouldn't try
