1. 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
2. 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
3. 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
4. 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
5. 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
6. Got Another Quarter
7. Great Depression
You're always sticking your nose into my life I wish you would leave me alone
Why can't you just shut your mouth and keep your mind off my life and onto your own
Why can't you leave me alone, I don't want your goddamned help
I don't recall asking you to stick your nose in my life
Why can't you mind your own fucking business leave my life alone
This is my life to live
Maybe I've got problems but I've also got a mind to solve them by myself
I don't want to hear your answers they don't apply so just keep them to yourself
Take your help and shove it you don't have all of the answers I have some as well
I tell you right now if you don't stop you'll put me inside of a white padded cell
8. Wired
An evil seed lurks in your mind
Coiled restlessly in your soul
It tries to rip apart your soul
A hateful lust taking over your mind
Destroying you destroying your life
You were hooked when you were young
Unaware of what would unfold
Realizing far too late
You'd become a thing of hate
Now you face your life without fear
Free from unnatural needs
This dark chapter of your life now closed
This evil thing deceased
9. 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 Luther 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
10. PSA
11. 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
Why can't you look around
And see your surroundings
Learn to think for yourself
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
12. Good Times, Bad Times (Led Zeppelin cover)
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
Chorus
