1. For Dear Life
The flag of free enterprise, fronts as you fend
In the battlefield of bureaucracy, the trenches you shall tend
In these days of adversity, the hassle never ends
The nemesis of fortitude, holds a gun to your head!
On your knees! Kneel! Say your prayers!
For dear life! For dear life!
For dear life! For dear life!
You're holding on for dear life!
Show some humility to the powers that be
A gesture of mortality - your blind liberty
On your knees! Kneel! Say your prayers!
For dear life! For dear life!
For dear life! For dear life!
You're holding on for dear life!
Lie. For dear life.
2. Steady Decline
You choose a path
Close to collapse
Stretched to the limit
Falling apart
The light turns back
Where you choose to pass
Finally into oblivion
Steady decline
A quirk of fate
Can't stop this wait
But it took
A quirk of fate
To ignite the spark
Innocence and youth
Youth and innocence
Takes so little
To tear it apart
Tear it apart
Steady decline
Witness to the crime
3. Beg to Differ
You make the right moves, I beg to differ
Rather be a fool and see things clearer
You found a quick way to fill your pocket
That's the way in a world that's lost it
To fall in line
Its meaningless, mindlessness. I beg to differ
Disharmony amongst all our brothers
That's okay, be true to our grudges
No desire to walk beside you
Nothing positive when forced upon you
(So fall in line) Just fall in line
Its meaningless, mindlessness. I beg to differ
4. Lost and Found
Exposing all the frauds, those heroes for a cause
They're holding some key, confusing identities
The lost and found
Lost in a crowd
Look what they've found
They're faking in the buck. Purveyors of so much luck
Upholding a true scope: Flag waving ego
The lost and found
Lost in a crowd
Look what they've found
The lost and found!
5. Your Fear
His holy misunderstood
Miscredited, misconstrued
This holy roll of the dice
Take your chances
Hold on tight
Silence the silent
Confuse the confused
Confusion runs rampant
On a ship of fools
The clock is ticking
This sacred joke
Left without a reason
Till reason takes hold
Surrender your fear
Crawl into the flame
His holy unconsciousness
Endless discussion
Of our uselessness
Alive and kicking
This sacred joke
Left without a reason
Till reason takes hold
Surrender your fear
Crawl into the flame
6. Take it in Hand
Watch out! The part you play is a cop-out
Shut out! Authority's been shut down
Clamped down! Conditioned so that you're held down
Chill out let rule again to lash out
Take it in hand, go for the throat
Shit hits the fan, you're at the end of the rope
Hands down! Sudden order wins out
Lose out! A crazed attack will come 'round
Sit down and think about your next round
Bail out you're seriously in doubt!
Take it in hand, go for the throat
Shit hits the fan, you're at the end of the rope
Take it in hand, it's beyond hope
The smoke will clear, but the pain won't
Beneath the shell
In the temples your god
All alone
At one at once the truth emerged
Now there's none
7. Intermenstrual, D.S.B.
8. Right to Nothing
Cold suns, lowering highs. Accents on the deprived
Solvency. Well, it hurts like a bitch
Close shave, you may have grown rich
Blast off, waiting on line. Sales pitch makes up your mind
You got the right to nothing
The right to nothingness
Right to something
The right to nothingness
Well, all of your goals and what you've become -
Surrender now! You're the satisfied one
You got the right to nothing
The right to nothingness
Right to something
The right to nothingness
9. Prime Cut
Shake the slab of flesh, taunting for a fetch,
Time to ring the chime
Wet the appetite, teeth are grinding tight,
Reinforcing life
Drooling down the sides, eyes are bulging wide
Yes the price is right
The cut is very tough, gristles good enough
They all need a bite
No tolling of the bell, just the one to hell
There they'll all know
Thimbleful to chance, pay the luxury tax
Do not pass go
Try and bring the beef, see what is to keep
Not a pretty sight
The cut is very tough, you bit the big bluff
Take another bite
10. Just the Same
The retreads on the go
Thought it was a hoax
But looked around and saw it ready to again explode
When will it go away?
Too bad it's here to stay
Recycled, new improved, jump on it and get safe!
They like it shallow, they like it fake
Like it borrowed
Like it narrow, like their brain
They're gonna swallow
Just the same
Under the guise of late, for those born too late
A concept of benefacting a culture in a needy state
So what if it's been used, as long as no one sues
Just rehash and trash it for the fools to use and get safe!
They like it shallow, they like it fake
Like it borrowed
Like it narrow, like their brain
They're gonna swallow
Just the same
Genres over sold, sampled and stole
Rediscovered themes so poorly over told
The wagons on the road, worn out thought abode
Tired style lost now finds a new home
11. Third from the Sun (live)
Seeing their children, caught up in the latest fad
Their parents are worried, thinking they've gone bad
Everything's the same, nothing has changed
Everything's the same
Nothing has changed; changes tomorrow
Taking their axes, they're turning an amber red
Making a noise able to wake the dead
Everything's the same, nothing has changed
Everything's the same
Nothing has changed at all, changed in our world
Looking through the windows only to see the rain
The way they are moving, ground zero attack my brain
