Wage Slaves 02:54
lyrics
buy track
Wage Slaves Freeways jammed up they're driving to nowhere fast Worn out after five days of work so now it's time to burn some cash! At the gas stations filling up the tanks to get away from life at home but there is no escape! The chain gang of Wage Slaves stand in lines at the stores with maxed up credit cards materialistic blinded whores Loaded up on junk food drive thru burgers and beer to spend the weekend from that job you hate or boring career Leave all the beaches and forests littered by glass, paper, plastic and cans So to have fun just sit back and relax enjoy the scenery, disrespecting all the land The multitude of Wage Slaves get little but pay more To labor their best years away withered down to the core

Busy Bodies 02:11
lyrics

Busy Bodies Places to go people to see Work for money and bachelors degrees Retirement plans after thirty odd years A life of luxury and full of fear Drive to fast, need to slow down A circus of confused conformist clowns Busy Bodies run around, decapitated heads Busy Bodies in the ground, buried and dead Achieve material wealth to be free Forget about your health and basic needs Just buy prescribed drugs from the pharmacy Pay your stacked up bills, file for bankruptcy Get a job or go to jail Obey all the laws or go to hell Busy Bodies hooked on speed, have a heart attack Busy Bodies trust in greed, demons on their backs

Acid Rain 03:06
lyrics

Acid Rain Modern masks of plastic patterns Molded by Hypocrisy Demons dwell in dens of hell Deep inside democracy Tinted windows frozen statues Monuments that honor lies Picture perfect politicians Pose in pride as children die Deadly dreams of poison power Skulls that scream in falling towers Concrete Crumbles in the rubble High and mighty men are humbled People mourn their tragic loss Clueless to the hidden cost Born to work and rest in peace Obey authority, police Enforce the laws of viscous thieves Murder other human beings The earth will burn a world that turns For coal and private property Money made by selfish gain Prisoners in golden chains Cold the corporate corpse decays Eroded by the Acid Rain

Biological Machines 02:18

Biological Machines Chemical trails, sprayed and stretched all across the sky enriched with titanium and aluminum oxide saturating the atmospheres electromagnetic fields frequencies of microwaves millions of braincells are killed programed minds just like hard drives formatted and wiped clean overloaded infiltrated biological machines any thoughts of positive or individual energy in a system that contains a virus against compatibility artificial intelligence

Fight Tonight 02:50
lyrics
buy track
Fight Tonight Bloody noses, broken limbs Weapons black eyes and clenched fists Everyone's drunk and fucked passive Aggressive and pissed In the bars, driving cars Going out to kill in unjust wars Battered bodies, cuts and scars It all seems so fun but what for? There's gonna be a Fight tonight Some one will be hurt or die There's gonna be a Fight Tonight So many are killed suffer and die Corpses piled up in the deserts Of the the middle east and city streets America refuses to surrender and admit defeat It seems like we will never be able To stop the fear hate and greed Imposed be believing that control And power is the only thing we need

Pillar of Salt 02:35
lyrics
buy track
Pillar of Salt That which was dead, is now alive infertile soil will profit and thrive Changed the fate of those destined to die laugh at all the reasons that made us cry But to look back with regrets and dwell in remorse like infected sores emotions will swell Injected with medicine to help the wounds heal jaded and confused untill theres nothing left to feel The ultimatum, forced to choose either join cheat win or loose be defeated forfeit, decided by default or fade from existence and decay like a Pillar of Salt

The Chosen Few 02:25
lyrics
buy track
Look at the streets in your home town Do you see all the trash on the ground? Are there homeless people, do they sleep outside? Is there some shelter for them do they have to hide? Every family deserves a peaceful place In a good community where everyone feels safe And the basic needs of humanity should be free 'Cause that's the way it is for all of us who can see Take back the land from The Chosen Few, With all the wealth and stolen land they abuse Liberate the earth from the hands of The Chosen Few And all the plans of deception they pursue They use eugenics to engineer the master race And technology to move it at a faster pace All around the globe the innocent are killed As covert operations are classified and sealed From political scrutiny and public view So The Chosen Few can control me and you They say jump and we reply how high? Clouds of exhaust cover up the sky so the sun can never shine Take back your life from the Chosen Few Or be enslaved misled and consumed Liberate your soul from the chains of the Chosen Few So they will have no more power to pursue Take away your freedom of speech and choice With muzzles of regulation silence every voice There's GMOs and hormones in FDA approved meat And pesticides in non organic fruit, grain and veggies we eat The population keeps growing, we're running out of space natural resources taken from the earth can never be replaced But the economy must thrive and as apathy prevails They close the doors to peace, open up the gates of hell

Side FX 02:12
lyrics
buy track
Side FX Exploitative and degrading voices travel trough the air Manipulating human brainwaves uploaded into eyes and ears To boost consumer confidence when demand is too low Company's use steel machines and tools to make their assets grow Split second frames flash into the subliminal mind Corporate images and logos, slogans symbolic signs Take these pills, the Side Fxs have been rapidly disclaimed Doctor recommended , guaranteed to ease and kill the pain Product placements are laced in movies and TV Celebrity endorsements made to dictate what you want and need Paid commercial advertising, sponsored programs, breaks in shows Modernized HYPNOTISM, censored and controlled Life styles of the rich and shameless, projected on the silver screen Action packed vain entertainment, inundated with violence and sex scenes Buy this SUV, the Side Fxs are mostly worked out in crash tests Those smog emitting massive monsters, burn gasoline in excess

Sensory Overload 02:44
lyrics
buy track
Sensory overload Attention deficit disorder Apprehensive, tired tense My limbs are broken, system meltdown Over worked weary and stressed Unable to move, placid frozen Stranded in the snowy static Impossible to think or focus Find a refuge, no resisting Onslaughts of rapid fire Bullets in the dark Devices of torture Imposed to destroy who we are Sensory Overload There's too much noise Thou sends of distractions No way to avoid The flood of visual and audible waves Afraid of the shadows on the walls of our caves Programed news and entertainment Heavy metal gas machines Obnoxious power tools and engines Concrete obscures the scenery Computer flat screens, plasma pictures Dirty movies, magazines Commuters backed up traffic dead lock Desperate hopes and shallow dreams Stagnated comatose Nullified, dumb as a brick Strangled in sleeper holds Tormented tired and sick Sensory Overload There's too much noise Thousands of distractions No way to avoid The flood of visual and audible waves Afraid of the shadows on the walls of our caves

Women and Children 04:21
lyrics
buy track
Women and children This is just a little song about what I believe It's not intended to be a ripped on Islam or Christianity I'm not trying to piss off anyone or tell them what to do Or try to teach a better version Of some divine truth, but... Religion seems to be the key factor in all cultural divide To say what is the only way defined by clever lies Everybody wants to see that spirit in the sky I listened to the pastor preach and put money in the plate and when I heard him say condemnation is mankind's determined fate I asked myself "Is this what Jesus fought for and died?" I've read the texts and stories in the world's sacred books and all I find is misogyny, domestic abuse Women and Children get left behind To suffer so don’t tell me what is wrong with my own mind Just be a more honest and loving husband father or brother to the Women and Children you objectify By now you might think I need to save my soul from mortal sin and repent These word's I write probably make You feel frustrated or upset No man can accuse or judge some one else's existence Or try to bribe God with worship, prayer and paying a penance To buy a ticket for salvation and escape eternal death and pain Too many wars have been started in one righteous man's name Entire nations have been forced to convert and proclaim It was all justified by holy scriptures that were tainted to confuse The masses of the human race with apocalyptic doom So no one has to be held accountable for what they do with their on lives The most important thing I wanted to say is that when I read the Bible, Koran, Buddhist scriptures or most other verse of mainstream religious, the most over looked and disturbing thing I find is that women and children have always been objectified and put in a lower caste because they are physically weaker and victims of tyrannical domineering by "men". Everything else in the song is subjective to this point.

Independent Radio 02:38
lyrics

Independent radio It's just the same watered down Average crap on the independent radio Damaging my brain with the music They play on the independent radio We think outside the box But have to stay between the lines Stay inside parameters Our advertisers define Rotating the top singles From the best commercial bands And call it different and subversive But it's boring and it's bland Only air alternative and only air the hits There's other good songs on the album but No one really gives a shit Only air alternative but keep away from politics There's a lot of good unknown artists But no one really gives a shit We only want what’s under ground If it will sell more cock and tits We only want what makes you think about Booze, drugs, and sex, sex, sex.... Oh, you're a crazy bitch But you fuck so good I'm on top of it Oh yeah.......
