1. Disbelief
THE WAYS OF YOUR WAY
I'M LOST IN DISBELIEF
HOW CAN YOU BREATHE FREELY
AND LOOK AT WHAT YOU SEE
THE SPACE THAT YOU TREAD
WHAT YOU DO PERCEIVE
YOUR OBJECTS OF DESIRE
I KNOW THEY'RE NOT FOR ME
NOT FORGETTING ALL THE CRIMES
NEITHER NOR THE LESSON
ALL I CAN NOW CRY
YOUR WORLD'S NOT MINE
YOUR WORLD'S NOT MINE
I SEE WHAT I TOUCH
BURN IN MY OWN DREAMS
NO FEELING FOR YOUR LIFE
YOUR WORLD CAN'T BE SEEN
2. Watching
EDUCATED MEN
DISCUSSING
DEMONSTRATING
WARGAMES
SHIPS AND MISSILES
WARGAME STRATEGIES
SIT BACK RELAX
NEWS MAN REPORTING
VIOLENCE AND BRUTALITY
REPORTER REPORTING
THE GRAND FINALE
I DON'T KNOW WHY IT IS
MUST BE A DISEASE
JUST GO TO WORK
PUT YOUR MIND AT EASE
COME HOME AND WATCH T.V.
JUST WATCH
WE'RE JUST WATCHING
WE'RE JUST WATCHING
WE'RE JUST WATCHING
AIN'T IT A SHAME
WISH I COULD SAY
I'M NOT TO BLAME
I'M NOT TO BLAME
I'M NOT TO BLAME
I'M NOT TO BLAME
NOT TO BLAME
NOT TO BLAME
3. Cling to Life
A CRUMBLING TOWER AT THE SITE OF AN EARTHQUAKE
NEW CORPORATE QUARTERS NOW NOT SO HIGH
SOME DISCONNECTION CAUSES AERIAL CONFUSION
THE HUNDRETH PLANE TO FALL OUT OF THE SKY
A HOUSE OF LABOR LEAKS A VENOMOUS EMITION
LEAVES POOR PEASANTS, SUFFERING AMASS
COUNTRIES SCOURGED BY UNNECESSARY FAMINE
THE WALKING SKELETONS STILL CLING TO LIFE
BLAME IT ON THE GODS
THE PEOPLE'S HERO KILLED BY CRIME OF PASSION
IT'S THEN REPORTED THAT HE LIVED A LIE
ANOTHER MENTOR ENTANGLED IN CORRUPTION
HIS SORDID DEALING LEFT MANY TO DIE.
4. Denial
STAYING WITH THIS LIFE TO LEAD
ATTEMPTING NO TRUE TEST
STICKING WITH SOME SICK IDEAL
WHILE OTHERS SELL OUT FAST
NEED A BIT OF FLAGELLATION
NEED TO SCOUR THE DEPTHS
CAN'T EXERCISE AUTHORITY
CLAMPED DOWN CONTROLLED WILL
DENIAL, NO DISCIPLINE
REFRAINMENT ABSTINENCE
QUESTION CONVENIENCE
INGESTING SOME CORRUPT CONCEPT
CONSUMING ALL ITS PRODUCE
PULLING THOUGHTS AND CONSCIENCE
CONFIRMING ALL UNNOTICED
THE FULFILLMENT TRULY LIES
IN WHAT MUST BE SUPPRESSED
SUBJUGATING PASSION
LEAVES POWER UNPROFESSED
5. Dreams Like That
PARTICIPANT
IN A SICKENING SCENE
CAN'T TRUST THE COMFORT
OF YOUR BED
THE PILLOW FOR YOUR HEAD
WE'VE ALL HAD BAD DREAMS
WE'VE ALL HAD BAD DREAMS
BUT NO ONE SHOULD HAVE
DREAMS LIKE THAT
NO MORE DREAMS LIKE THAT
NO MORE DREAMS
IT'S HARD TO BE A REALIST
LIFE'S SUCH A MESS
CONSIDER THE LENGTH OF THAT FALL
THE NEXT TIME YOU WANT TO FALL
NO MORE DREAMS LIKE THAT
NO MORE DREAMS LIKE THAT
NO MORE DREAMS LIKE THAT
NO MORE DREAMS LIKE THAT
6. In My Veins
GALLON OF GASOLINE
IN MY VEINS
GALLON OF GASOLINE
THE HANDS WENT NUMB
BLEEDING, COUGHING
IN A ROOM THREE FEE DEEP
HOT AS A IRON
BURNING HOLES IN MY FEET
HOLES IN MY KNEES
IT'S IN YOUR BLOOD
IT'S IN YOUR SKIN
IT'S IN YOUR HEAD
TEAR IT DOWN AND
START AGAIN
IT'S ONLY GOOD
WHEN THE NEEDLES
IN THE VEIN
TEAR IT DOWN
TEAR IT DOWN
TEAR IT DOWN
START AGAIN
7. Climate Control
A PLAN FOR POWER
MOVES TO OPPRESS
EXCLUDES POVERTY
SPORTS SUCCESS
OBLITERATES OBSTINANCE
IGNORE ANY UGLINESS
MAINTAIN WAR MIND READINESS
PROPAGATE LOYALTY
INFUSE MODIFICATION
IF NOT REMOVED, FEED THEIR LEVEL OF FEAR
ALLOW THEM TO QUESTION, ANSWER: HOLD TO SECRECY
NEW CHANGE IN CLIMATE
EMBROILS THIS YEAR
HEAT LIKE THE OVENS
CAN NATURE BE BROKEN?
8. Persecution
