8. Oppressing the Masses







1. I Profit

Feeling taken, God do I hate
Pinstriped, black-tied, corporate minds that hate
All that they see fit to be theirs
Giving nothing except only to their heirs
Disease kills constantly, unseen
The rich pad their pockets, and fulfill their money schemes
Human waste, sucking off the cement
They beg, you see nothing, you're too innocent

[Pre-chorus:]
All that you hold
If you owe, they have sold
Interest indeed
What I see is greed!

[Chorus:]
I PROFIT OFF
ALL THAT YOU'VE GOT
GIVE IT TO ME

Others worse, they'll fuck you with greed
Friendly investment on their minds, embezzling
Foolish suckers, you're born every day
Use them, confuse them, and then they are kicked away
Rip you off for all that you're worth
A quick scheme, your dreams are face down in the dirt
Bleeding hearts, they've got no conscience for you
Your luck, shit luck, you're fucked, you're through

[Repeat Pre-chorus]

[Repeat Chorus]

[Solo: Demmel]

I know I'm not against a quick buck
Profit margin, I'd like to have one myself
But then, some scum, money is all that they want
Immaculate dreamland, for their needs they will rip you off
Give me cash, give me all that you've got
Fill my pockets, hand it over, do not conserve
Rich making poor is all I want to be
I profit, embezzle, cold cash for me

[Repeat pre-chorus]

[Repeat chorus x2]

[Over Chorus:]
Sifting my hands, through the color, the money,
The green I must see, only this is no dream
I'm no longer the scum on the street�not the bum
That you scrape off your shoes as you turn




2. Officer Nice

I am the law, I wield the stick
So back your ass up in fear
This is my place
My burning face in full gear
We move in groups, head stomping boots
And canisters for tears
Move in at once
Through hate we make ourselves clear

I am the cop that rips you off
I steal drugs for cash
No junkies run
Fall in or get a blast
Big dealers pay, I turn away
Another week of bought trust
But I'll be back
For more cash or a bust

[Chorus]
Their laws decide (Criminals, Lawbreakers)
Who is right (Officer Nice)
Hit with sticks (Criminals, Lawbreakers)
Move them quick (Officer Nice)

[Solo: Demmel]

[Solo: Flynn]

Interrogate, feelings of hate
For you run thick through my mind
The bleeding dead
Family of ave left behind
Murdering dirt, you're in my world
And here I dictate the law
And as I swing
Your scattered brains paint the wall

[Repeat Chorus]
[Repeat to fade]




3. Subterfuge

Deceiving face fits perfect like a glove
In the camera eye of this world
A pocket lie, I don't know why
SUBTERFUGE WORKS ON YOU

A major voice, forked in an eastern bloc
States what is true is what you've heard
But what they've heard is slightly blurred by
SUBTERFUGE WORKS ON YOU

"I don't know"s become "I Forgot"
In a covered statement to our press
Protect the man, his shining hand.
SUBTERFUGE WORKS ON YOU
Feeding fool public, have a taste and swallow
Just what they've passed to you
Convict them not, deception walks
SUBTERFUGE WORKS ON YOU

[Chorus:]
Malignant, infected, disease of two-face
Public elected and put into place
Virus detected

Most Are dumb, and often easily fooled
By The Blinding Statements That You Make.
I'm Not Their Kind, I See You Fine.
SUBTERFUGE DON'T WORK FOR YOU
Open Your Mouth, And stupid Comes Out
And It's Often Followed By A Prayer.
Forget Them God, Their Intentions Are
Marred By.
SUBTERFUGE DON'T WORK FOR YOU

[Chorus]

[ Solo: Demmel ]
Malignant, Infected, Disease Of Two Face.
Public Elected, And Put Into Place.
Virus Detected.
Malignant, Infected, Disease Of Two Face.
Public Elected, And Put Into Place.
Virus Detected.
[ Solo: Demmel ]




4. Engulfed by Flames

On the case of an unusual death tonight
Corpse erupt, sweet smell of cremation in flight
My eyes attracted to a pile of ash, in all my time I have never seen that
Distinguishable by a single leg intact

[Pre-chorus:]
Body of flesh, bones all turned to ash
Fire of no one's guess entraps

I'm wondering about the feelings that you've felt
Was it pain delivered straight from Hell?
Did you grasp out, did you reach for the sky? Or did you collapse, only time to die?
Burning story too difficult to tell

[Repeat Pre-chorus]

[Chorus:]
ENGULFED! You're swallowed by the flames
Temperature Burns Away.
No Crawling, No Feeling The Pain.

[Solo: Flynn]

[Solo: Demmel]

[Repeat Chorus]

Cases numbered, but no way to explain
How a human just burst right out into flames
The fire engulfs your body, attacked; you hit the floor, an oily pile of ash.
And what is you can now be swept away

[Repeat Chorus x2]




5. World in a World

I, Being The Judge Of This Legal Court
Motion For The Accused To Arise.
Stand Up Boy, Here's The End Of Your Life.
Now All Be In Awe Of My Upper Hand
And You Watch As I Detain.
I Swallow Time, Twenty Years
Of Your Life, I Have Obtained.
Sorry In A Cell, With The Rest Of The Dogs
I Do Nothing But Wait.
I'm Being Fed Shit, Tormented, Such Hate.
Bashed, Beaten, Battered, Some Inmates Here
Just Cannot Defend Their Lives.
That For Me, The Luxury In Here Is Only To Die.
[ Solo: Flynn ]
Now You're In, Here To Stay
Life Sentence, Convicted, And Now You
Must Pay.
So Watch Your Back And All That You've Got.
Stealers Take, Killers Kill, But Usually In The Dark
Cold And Empty Grey Matter Of Your Brain
Would Spray.
Unpleasant Taste It Leaves In Your Mouth.
This Place Is Hell, This Place Is What We Call.
World In A World
And You Fear This Fucking!
World In A World
Guilty You'll Rot.
[ Solo: Demmel ]
Warden Hates Because He's Playing The Part
He Makes His Point By Turning Guns
On The Unarmed.
Or Solitary Confinement They'll Keep You
You Resist And
A Battered Mess, And Oh I Regret
When You're In Here Slop Is All You'll Be Fed.
And When You're Tired And Needing Some Sleep
The Cement Floor Is All They Feel You Need.
World In A World
And You Will Fear This Fucking.
World In A World
Guilty You'll Rot.
World In A World
Held Out Of All Sight.
World In A World.
To Be Here Is To Die!




6. Mentally Afflicted

Enter I, Disturbing Peace Of Mind
Pressure Reflects Me.
Manipulate, And Break The Feeling Of Faith.
These Weak Fools Obsess Me.
Glare Inside, Shines My Mind
It's Quite Distorted, It's So Cruel.
Afflicted Traits, Extending Outward My Hate
Sharp Words Detest You.
I Am The Thorn In The Side.
Pressure That's Never Denied.
Call Me - Call Me - Call Me Mad.
My Look Is Often A Grin
Cold As It's Sin.
Call Me - Call Me - Call Me Mad.
We Evil Kind, We Evil Subject Your Pride
Intent Oppression.
An Open Sore, Into It Salt We Will Pour
Verbal Aggression!
Conscience Collapsed, Feelings For You Waxed
By My Mental Affliction.
I Carry Pride, I Hold It High At My Side
Cause Your Submission.
I Am The Thorn In The Side.
Pressure That Never Denied.
Call Me - Call Me - Call Me Mad.
My Look Is Often A Grin.
Cold As It's Sin
Call Me - Call Me - Call Me Mad.
[ Solo: Demmel ]
At Times I'd Love To Feel The Break Of Your Spine.
Your Pain, My Hand, My God, That Would Do Me
Just Fine.
But Intelligence Tells Me Constrain, Don't
Do That.
Use Your Wit, Make 'Em Pay, Verbal Attack.
Your Cowardice, Your Whimpering Makes
Me Sick.
In Your Face, Your Ugliness, On It I Could Spit.
Divine Reprisal, I'm Getting Under Your Skin.
Contemptuous Me, I Will Always Win.
Cold Hate.
Feel The Pain To Which I Relate, My
Harsh Hell.
Satisfies, Sanctifies Me As Well.
[ Solo:Flynn ]
At Times I'd Love To Feel The Break Of Your Spine.
Your Pain, My Hand, My God, That Would Do Me
Just Fine.
But Intelligence Tells Me Constrain, Don't
Do That.
Use Your Wit, Make 'Em Pay, Verbal Attack.
Your Cowardice, Your Whimpering Makes
Me Sick.
In Your Face, Your Ugliness, On It I Could Spit.
Divine Reprisal, I'm Getting Under Your Skin.
Contemptuous Me, I Will Always Win.
Cold Hate.
Feel The Pain To Which I Relate, My
Harsh Hell.
Satisfies, Sanctifies Me As Well.
[ Solo:Flynn ]
[Repeat 2nd Verse]




7. Liquid Courage

I Reach Out, And Grab The Devil.
Pour His Hell Straight Down My Throat.
Go Home To The Darling
Where's Your Pain, Give Me Pain Ten Fold.
Soft Face On My Backhand.
Soft Heart Broken At My Feet.
Careless Of Your Feelings.
Reach Again, Strike Again, Feel It.
All This And More For You.
These Are The Things That I Put You Through.
Bleed For Me Once, And Again.
It's Not What You're Doing.
Liquid Soul, Inside Of Me
My Conscience Black, Plaqued By Disease.
Losing Mind, I'm Slipping Fast
The Bottle Empties Courage In Me From A Glass.
Next Day My Eyes Have Opened
Look To See My Battered Wife
Living This Depression
Poor Again, Drink Again, Slam It
Savior In A Bottle
Courage Capped And Sealed Tight
Helps Me To See Brighter
Things I Hate Washed Away Leave Me
All This And More For You
These Are The Things That I Put You Through




8. Oppressing the Masses

Land Of Old, This Soil I Now See Turns Grey.
Looking On, I See Crowds That Stand Against
Tyrant Guns,
Blow Them Away.
All For The Sake Of Freedom,
Look To Your Screen They're Screaming, Help.
High Upon A Pedestal, Man's Mind Speaking
Aloud.
What I See, Is What I Hold; Rower And All
That's Around.
Curfew At Dusk, And My Soldiers Litter
The Streets.
This Is For The People, No, We're Breaking,
Taking, Killing.
We Bleed From Tyrants War, Runs Red Through
Streets Of Blood.
The Freedom That We Would Seek Is Screaming
Lost Liberty.
Oppressing The Masses, Could This Be.
Oppressing The Masses, Could This Happen To Me.
Deceiving Things He Says You Might Take
As True.
One Word Believed By Him, His Strings Attach To You.
So We The People Must Unite, And Defy.
Destroy The Power, Fight This Man's Rule
Must Die,
By Our Hand.
Oppressed People Of This Land.
Convert, Exist The Planned Way.
Revolt, With Blood We'll Flow The End.
Oppressing The Masses, Could This Be.
Oppressing The Masses, Could This Happen To Me.
Gone Year's Of Ten
I'm Still Power Alive.
My Dominos Fall On Taking Other Men's Pride.
All For The Need Of Power
Watch As I Devour You!
This Virus Of My Intentions, Infectious.
Your Land My Carnage Forth.
Obviously Death Results.
I Am The Ugly Face, The Spreading Disease
I Am Oppressing, Raping Life, I Do As I Please
And You Pay The Price.
You're Lost Without Arms To Fight
If Given The Spine From Hate
Would You Cower, Or Rise And Say.
Oppressing The Masses, No Not To Me.
Oppressing The Masses, No This Could Never Be.
Oppressing The Masses, To Be Free I Would Rise.
Oppressing The Masses, For To Live Contained,
This
Mind Would Die!!
