1. Intro / 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
2. 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
3. Game Over
4. 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
5. Butt Fuck
6. 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
7. 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
8. Trail of Tears
9. Mother's Day
10. 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
11. 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
12. Lesbians
13. Funky Noise
14. Good Times, Bad Times
In the days of my youth I as told what it means to be a man
Now I've reached that age I try to do all those things the best I can
No matter how I try I find my way to the same old jam
Good times bad times you know I've had my share
When my woman left home with a one-eyed man and I still don't seem to care
Sixteen I fell in love with a girl as sweet as could be
It only took a couple days till she was rid of me
She swore that she would be all mine, love me till the end
When I whispered in her ear, I lost another friend
