1. S.O.L.D.
You're just another number
You're life don't mean a thing
You're trying to be so goddamn happy
But what does it bring
Slaving to the family status
You're working everyday of your life
you lost your car you lost your house
You lost your kids you lost your wife
CHORUS:
Welcome to death
See it in your eyes
Feel it last breath
Finished suicide
Driving in the fast lane
Just a little too fast
Visions of the naked truth
Rumors of the past
It seems your motors dying
You're coming to a hill
And here it comes back into your face
You have to swallow the pill (CHORUS)
It seems the end is drawing near
And you're just hanging around
A twisted necklace grabs you tight
You're feet above the ground
My God it seems that life's too long
There's no way you can cope
Swinging in the summer breeze
You're at the end of the rope
2. Open Eyes Open
My companion never dies, but with age he grows weak
Only now sits a scab, where there once was a cheek
You know I was freed, when my old man O.D.'ed
I followed in his footsteps and then in his tracks
Living and loving, my life is crime
Liberal politicians still hand me a dime
Hey there buddy, I said no more flesh
In cannibal county well you'd be some catch
Must I wait until there's nothing left
What a horrible way to live this death
Grim old man with a skin of crust
He comes to me through morpheus
Hair migrated from his head to his toes
He could use a cap, yeah, no useless clothes
Mean disposition of onetime no more
Tranquil composition is his constant chore
Open eyes open
Now I see black
My train of thought
Is a circling track
Open eyes open
Now I see black
My train of thought
Is a circling track
There's no relief in sight, I just relive every day
With my hacker in hand, I say god let them pray
I must reflect on my sinister deeds
These long, long hours are the way that I feed
My nightly vision, I know will arise
He stares at me and never closed his eyes
His eyes are fresh as the day that we met
The balance of his face in water debt
Open eyes open
Now I see black
My train of thought
Is a circling track
Open eyes open
Now I see black
My train of thought
Is a circling track
3. Baby Song
Living or dying
I don't know which one I am
Breathless or growing
Tell me, my fate unknown
Seeing or sightless
The choice is not my own
Feeling or touchless
Fingers or worthless bone
Your choice to make affects me
If I will live or die
Conspire to love or kill me
My words do not apply
Here I am laying
Deep inside your womb
Is this my lifetime
Or just a human tomb
Should I just give up
Or should I stay and fight
Will I see daytime
Or just, this liquid night
I don't know what to live for
I don't know why to die
I cannot see or feel you
I cannot laugh or cry
Is there a future
For me to love and grow
Tell me what death is
Because I just don't know
Somebody help me
Please, just make a choice
No one is listening
To this spechless voice
Your choice to make affects me
If I will live or die
Conspire to love or kill me
My words do not apply
4. Gettin´ Away With Murder
Kid was killed in an alleyway
Raped by society or so they say
Caught the fucker, let out the same day
Judge it's not my fault at all
Read it in a book when I was small
Don't blame me it's my teachers fault
Don't hold him responsible
His mind just snapped went outta' control
Kid he killed had so soul
Jury heard his final plea
Judge you know it wasn't me
So put the blame of society
Just plead insanity
They'll pardon you set you free
Let's all go crazy
It's better knows as gettin' away with murder
Gettin' away with murder
Gettin' away with murder
Gettin' away with murder
Gettin' away with murder
Now that I am locked up tight
Convince yourself everything's alright
But can you really sleep at night?
Shoot me up with thorazinw
Now you know my blood is clean
So let me loose on society
The killer was given the right of way
But don't forget about yesterday
A kid was killed in that alleyway
Now you let me loose again
A lonely man I've got no friends
What makes you think I won't kill again
5. Crash
Sitting here at work
Trying to write that song
I'm late almost everyday
Feel like I don't belong
There's no future in it
It ain't real good pay
People are pretty good
But I don't think I'll stay (no way)
Feel myself going lower and lower
Feel my mind about to
CRASH
It's time for change now
I don't know what I gonna do
Think I'm gonna leave this job
Man I'm feeling blue
Told my boss I'm leaving
He said well that's just fine
Where the hell do I go now man
Think I'm in a blind
Now I need some money
Hell I need it bad
Everytime I think of it
Damn I get so mad
Now I gotta find a job
There ain't nothing I can do
Everyday they tell me these words
Then I tell them to screw
6. Crawling At My Command
A little bit for you
Just a small fish in this big sea
But slowly and surely
You seemed to fall in love with me
The first time you tried me
It was your mind you had to blow
But then the season changed
And it left you stranded in the snow
Evilness rules cross the land
You will conform and join my band
I will rule you with an iron hand
Now my slaves will come crawling at my command
Laying awake at night
You try to get yourself to sleep
And suddenly you realize
That you have gotten in too deep
The money it comes
And instantly it disappears
You think to yourself
What happened to those wasted years?
It all started out
As a little game you liked to play
But crumbling life
Leaves you just like you are today
Evil professor
Of children all across this land
Now the fruitless masses
Will come crawling at my command
7. M.I.A.
Restricted rights the endless fight
Continuation of sleepless nights
The punishment that time has sent
Will anyone ever know what it meant
There seems to be that nothing's left
To live in hell or wasted death
The time is now to save our own
To seek them out and bring them home
M.I.A.
We will live another day
Let my people go I say
Somebidy must hear my plea
Come to my aid and set me free
Family and friends won't give up hope
To have the strength and try to cope
To get them back and bring them home
So they can see their children grown
My mind is shot can't take no more
In to my brain this hell they bore
NATO and our allied friends
Would like to see this horror end
World in fear every day
We're hostages in our own way
Nuclear bombs and fighter jets
Is what these countries should get
We fight the war that will not end
And still the rules these countries bend
They're praying with the innocent
The truce they promised came and went
The government can't get them free
They fail to do it constantly
8. Nightmare
Last night I fell into a dream
I thought I'd never wake
A vision stood before me
A face I could not make
Eyes were like to red lights
Fire burned beneath
Looked around discovered
I stood before the beast
Smell of brimstone burning
Smoke that filled the air
He points his bony finger
Atop his evil chair
My son he said I brought you here
To make a little deal
You have to do my dirty work
Or else your soul I'll steal
Last night, I had a dream
Yeah I stood before the beast
Last night, I had a dream
Yeah I stood before the beast
Nightmare – it stares me in the face
Nightmare – down in this evil place
The contract was before me
The pen shook in my hand
Just sign your name besides the x
We'll rule this evil land
No need to worry any more
The legal work is done
I come into your dreams at night
Cause I'm the chosen one
9. Time To Pleez
Hey there sexy mama won't you get down on your knees
Hey there pretty baby gonna do what I please
C'mon give it to me girl now don't be a tease
You're looking so damn god I think I caught your disease
Cause you're what I need
Sexually
So get on your knees
It's time to please
Love to hear you screaming when the whip comes down
When I get you on your knees you bark like a hound
I like to stick it in your mouth so you don't make a sound
I keep the cameras rolling when I have you gagged and bound
Come and get it baby now let's jump into bed
Position #69 now gimme good head
Open up those legs and let me check your spread
I like the way you do it, like a true thoroughbred
10. Soft Asylum
They brough you in you were tied up in a white jacket
They signed you in and then they gave you your own cell
The eyes of inmates they were staring cold right through you
How did you ever end up in this living hell
Do you remember anything about that dark night
Do you remember even anything at all
Was there some evil spirit dancing in your body
And did that lonely night the evil spirits call?
When you look back you think you used to have a family
Or was it just some kind of unrelated dream
Were there 2 dying children bleeding in the bedroom
And was your wife trying so desperately to scream
The walls were covered with a coat of bloody red
A knife was laying in the middle of the floor
And then they found you still unconscious on the front lawn
They brought you in, you don't remember anymore
They brough you in you were tied up in a white jacket
They signed you in and then they gave you your own cell
The eyes of inmates they were staring cold right through you
How did you ever end up in this living hell
Do you remember anything about that dark night
Do you remember even anything at all
Was there some evil spirit dancing in your body
And did that lonely night the evil spirits call?
11. D.W.DIE
Step out of the party
And stagged to your car
You think you need another drink
It's time to find a bar
Cruisin' down the highway
A ride to certain death
Swerving in and out of cars
Got liquor on your breath
Your mind is going crazy
Your foot is to the floor
Complete intoxication
But still you want some more
You've got a find a woman
Who knows where she has been
Experience in violence
A rude awakening
You are, you are the stupid one
A drunken fool, a drunken fool who's out to have some fun
You don't care who you kill or what you do
Just live your life and waste your time until your life is through
He's looking for a taker
It's time to play the game
Chicken on the highway
The menace is insane
He stalks the local roadways
You know the one I mean
That drunken driver hits a car
And then he leaves the scene
But now he's got a passengers
Who stays trapped in his hell
Will they live or die tonight
Well only time will tell
You know the night goes on and so does he
The liquor still goes down
Driving uncontrollably
He's riding through your town
Cruisin' through the local
He's coming to a curve
But it's too late he fell asleep
He had no time to swerve
