1. _ When?
I've seen a lot of things in five years. I struggle just to hold back the tears. But everyfuckingwhere I go, I see the pathos that I know Will spell the termination of us all. Someone's got to tell me, do you see That everything around you has a hidden tragedy? Seeds of happiness have never Found a place to grow, And our generation doesn't know. When, when will you try To change the logarithmic face of kissing things goodbye? When, when will you know That human life is so short and death is oh so slow? I've tried to make things make sense but I can't. I'm happy just to watch them all and laugh. And if you think you've got it made, Just revel in your selfish ways, 'Cuz when the world stops turning so will you! Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah. more free lyrics |

5. _ Shades Of Truth
Here inside this quiet room there's direction Outside in the sultry noon-time reflection A million scurry they are looking for advice None willing to lend charity just exercise their Shades of Truth, and partisan convention Shades of Truth between dispirate lines Shades of Truth interpret my intentions You don't know I'm alright Who authored the blueprints and made us captains? Someone proclaimed creation, people listened While children by the millions are thrown into this zoo The so-called gift of clarity! Oh what was God up to? Shades of Truth, and lenient conventions Shades of Truth, between dispirate lines Shades of Truth interpret my intentions You don't know I'm alright So many walking paralell and pull their blinders tight So few offer apology and accept others rights And nothing absolutely can be cherished in the end Can't we all accept that it will all happen again? Just partisan convention Shades of Truth between dispirate lines Shades of Truth interpret my intentions You don't know I'm alright more free lyrics |
6. _ Marked
if i'm a monster, i am a willing one, this roller coaster ride is an enticing one, on the tip of a continuum flowing wavelike through disorder carry me like a vessel to water everything you see leaves a mark on your soul, everything you feel leaves a mark on your soul, everything you touch leaves a mark on your soul, everything you make leaves a mark on your soul if i can touch it, i can destroy it, if it's imaginable to some degree, i can become it, like a hungry turning vortex that just flickers to existence, consuming bits and pieces until i'm finally extinguished everyone you see leaves a mark on your soul, everyone you bare leaves a mark on your soul, everyone you touch leaves a mark on your soul, everyone you love leaves a mark on your soul everything you take leaves a mark on your soul, everything you give leaves a mark on your soul, and all the fear and loneliness that's impossible to control, and every tear you cry leaves a mark on your soul.br more free lyrics |

9. _ Suffer
Did you ever see the concrete stares of everyday? The lunatic, the hypocrite, are all lost in the fray. Can't you see their lives are just like yours? An unturned stone, an undiscovered Door leading to the gift of hope renewed, eternity for you. The masses of humanity have always had to suffer. The businessman whose master plan controls the world each day Is blind to indications of his species' slow decay. Can't you see his life is just like yours? An unturned stone, an undiscovered Door leading to the gift of hope renewed, eternity for you. The masses of humanity have always had to suffer. People blow their minds (they choose to resign) This deformed society is part of the design. It'll never go away (it's in the cards that way). The masses of humanity have always, always had to suffer! A door leading to the gift of hope renewed, eternity for you. The masses of humanity, still clinging to their dignity, The masses of humanity will always have to suffer. Always have to suffer. more free lyrics |

11. _ Individual
individuals run for cover, for the multitudes of thoughtless clones have reached a critical mass, individuals hide in fear, under cover, sheltered by the wafer thin veil of intelligence individuals, nowhere to be seen urbana is oozing like a bloated carcass, with maggots cooking in the desert heat, oozing, with progeny writhing and desperate for input from someone more determined congregating in invisible circles, half apart and half apart, all too aware of the insignificance, pushing on with soul and heart individuals don't pray for forgiveness, when pinned up against the wall under siege of persecution, individuals command exception, and accept dichotomy, maybe you can't choose anymore procreation without gain or purpose, languid wills and torped minds, catapulted ever faster by the arrow of time. more free lyrics |
12. _ Best For You
Above us lay the burdens, below us lay the truth. We're somewhere in the middle, and we're all discontent too. Is someone watching over you? Inside they know what's best for you. Judgment's not tomorrow, its today (yes now it's here). But no it isn't Jesus, take a look at all your peers. They're all looking down on you. Inside they know what's best for you... Everybody knows what's best for you (x8) more free lyrics |

14. _ Generator
Like a rock, like a planet Like a fucking atom bomb I'll remain unperturbed by the joy and the madness that I encounter everywhere I turn, I've seen it all before, in books and magazines, like a twitch before dying, like a pornographic sea, there's a flower behind the window, there's an ugly laughing man, like a hummingbird in silence, like the blood on my door, it's the generator oh yeah, oh yeah, like the blood on my door, wash me clean and I will run until I reach the shore, I've known it all along like the bone under my skin, like actors in a photograph, like paper in the wind, there's a hammer by the window, there's a knife on the floor, like turbines in darkness, like the blood on my door, it's the generator more free lyrics |
15. _ Watch It Die
i was born on planet earth the rotating ball whre man comes first it's been around for a long time but now its time to watch it die i saw a man on my big blue screen he ruled the world economy he said the rich would never concede but some day soon he'll be put to sleep i've seen the life of the forest green and adaptations of the deep blue sea and who knows who is the fittest they will all soon be put to rest on a plunging flight and we're sitting in the pilots seat in the midst of life people on a dark horizon praying somebody will save their lives i was born on the planet earth at a drastic time full of plastic mirth and every day i've seen increasing signs and you would too if you'd opened your eyes you had a chance you did not try so now it's time to watch it die more free lyrics |
16. _ Chimaera
you took a time bomb, and a case of crackers, and you made a maelstrom of organic debris, then you took a work bench, and a rusty anvil, and you polished them for everyone to see, you have created an unhealthy monster, but you're nowhere but nowhere to be found, so I guess I'll just cope with my provisions, from now until the day they lay me down you took a baboon, and made him perfect, you took a lion, and stripped him of his pride, then you took a million more varieties, a scalpel and a sartory, and you stitched up a horrible surprise, you have created an unsocial monster, and you're searched for all over the globe, and most believe that things would sure be better, if you'd come down here and tell us what you know who is to blame for this? someone tell me please, his handiwork is flawed, and it's there for all to see, mutations, aberrations and blatant anomalies, they multiply and give rise to this...monstrosity, you took the most abundant smallest bits of matter, and you instilled them with affinity, and then you stratified accumulations, weeded out bad variations, and blended up your unique recipe, you have created a powerful monster, with direction and purpose all its own, and if you were here, would things be any different? or are you just a mosaic of thoughts alone? more free lyrics |
17. _ Do What You Want
Hey do what you want, but don't do it around me. Idleness and dissipation breed apathy. I sit on my ass all goddamn day, A misanthropic anthropoid with nothing to Say what you must, do all you can, Break all the fucking rules and Go to Hell with Superman and Die like a champion, yeah hey! Hey I don't know if the billions will survive, But I'll believe in God when 1 and 1 are 5. My moniker is man and I'm rotten to the core. I'll tear down the building just to pass through the door. So do what you must, do all you can, Break all the fucking rules and Go to Hell with Superman and Die like a champion, yeah hey! more free lyrics |
18. _ Portait Of Authority
nothing more nothing less an icon on the wall decoration and duress that which many strive to be its the merble statue standing over me and nobody has the will to tear it down it determines wrong and right but to me its just a stereotype and it makes us lose our sight the portait of authority you tell me that's what im supposed to be (it embodies what he cannot be) another time another man and oppressive intrusion and a plague across his land and it haunts him every day it tells him he has no chance his hopes just fade away and he can't muster the support and to him it's just a stereotype of his life-long fight more free lyrics |
19. _ I Love My Computer
I love my computer you make me feel alright Every waking hour and every lonely night I love my computer for all you give to me Predictable errors and no identity And it's never been quite so easy I've never been quite so happy (Chorus) All I need to do is click on you and we'll be joined in the most soul-less way And we'll never ever ruin each other's day 'cuz when I'm through I just click And you just go away I love my computer you're always in the mood I get turned on when I turn on you I love my computer you never ask for more You can be a princess or you can be my whore And it's never been quite so easy I've never been quite so happy (Chorus) (Bridge) The world outside is so big but it's safe in my domain Because to you I'm just a number and a clever screen name All I need to do is click on you and we'll be together for eternity And no one is ever gonna take my love from me because I've got security, Her password and a key more free lyrics |
20. _ Change Of Ideas
well the sheaves have all been brought, but the fields have washed away and the palaces now stand where the coffins all were laid and the times we see ahead we must glaze with rosy hues for we don't wish to admit what it is we have to lose millennia in coming the modern age is here it sanctifies the future yet renders us with fear so many theories, so many prophecies what we do need is a change of ideas when we are scared we can hide in our reveries but what we need is a change of ideas change of ideas, change of ideas what we need now is a change of ideas more free lyrics |
21. _ Delirium Of Disorder
Delirium of Disorder (x2) Life is the sieve through which my anarchy strains, Resolving itself into works. Chaos is the score upon which reality is written, The timeless, swirling gyroscopic horde. Delirium Delirium of disorder Yeah! I am just an atom in an ectoplasmic sea Without direction or a reason to exist. The anechoic nebula rotating in my brain Is persuading me, contritely, to persist. Delirium of disorder (x8) more free lyrics |

23. _ My Poor Friend Me
i know a man who doesnt have many friends i know a place he lives where trouble never ends i know its hard for him to read 'tween the lines and his days are getting so much shorter he simply turns away instead of bearing down his ship is crumbling his crew is one of clowns he doesnt care as long as he can wear the crown i know this man all too well its my poor friend me a portrayal of the great dichotomy (a reminder of a tragic history) its my poor friend me and im running out of steam i know there are people who are cynical and vane they point their finger 'cuz they can't accept the blame they live their lives under a blanket of shame and their progeny crawl from underneath it lately i've come to see the solution and it begins with me but i'm so fallibly human i've picked the lot more free lyrics |
24. _ You
there's a place where everyone can be happy, it's the most beautiful place in the whole fucking world, it's made of candy canes and planes, red choo choo trains and the meanest little boys, and the most innocent little girls, and you know, I wish that I could go there, it's a road that I have not found, and I wish you the best of luck dear, drop a card or letter to my side of town, 'cuz there's no time for fussing and fighting my friend, but baby I'm amazed by the hate that you, can send and you, painted my entire world but I, don't have the terpentine to clean what you have soiled.... and I won't forget it there's a place where everyone can be right, even though you remain determined to be opposed, admittance requires no qualifications, it's where everyone has been and where everybody goes, so please try not to be impatient, for we all hate standing in line, and when the farm is good and bought, you'll be there without a thought, and eternity my friend, is a long fucking time more free lyrics |
25. _ You Are (The Government)
Hey sit down and listen and they'll tell you when you're wrong. Eradicate but vindicate as "progress" creeps along. Puritan work ethic maintains its subconscious edge As Old Glory maintains your consciousness. There's a loser in the house, and a puppet on the stool, And a crowded way of life, and a black reflecting pool, And as the people bend, the moral fabric dies, The country can't pretend to ignore its people's cries. You are the government. You are jurisprudence. You are the volition. You are juridiction. And I make a difference too. more free lyrics |
26. _ The Biggest Killer In American History
You have got your stranglers and prowlers in soft shoes. Furniture makers, carpenters too Bombers and commandos, all with some lost cause Disgruntled workers, immersed in "veritás" But stealthily, in the land of the free, he's lurking there Most are unaware of The biggest killer in American history And god shed his grace on thee Business institutions universites Both are quite the circus where the killer wants his way I think of Edward Teller and his moribund reprise Then I look to Nevada and I can't believe my eyes It's time for hime to die! Most cannot remeber minutia learned in school It's not there on the blackboard, it's what they don't tell you We have got a problem, it starts and ends right here It can be defeated but you've got to face your fear We'll join and unite and steady our sight Then we'll put it right `cuz it's time to fight The biggest killer in American history And god shed his grace on thee more free lyrics |
27. _ Slaves
don't try to say that i threaten your freedom. we've done without for 20 years, so think if we really need 'em. we're all just slaves for the troop commanders. we're all slaves. we can blow up things better than in any country except this one. waiting for it too then you realize it ain't too much fun. we're in a country, democracy, supposed to be the best on the globe. living from the denoument lifted from the high class clones and we're all just slaves for the system masters. we're all slaves and we're all just slaves for the system masters. we're all slaves. more free lyrics |
28. _ Politics
economy, technology, doesn't really work. can't try running for government, i'm not a jerk! i've tried to see these faces all around the way. you're lucky if they listen to a single word you say. what is right and what is wrong? the government decides. you don't have no rights at all, as long as you don't fight. we're all being oppressed by the upper middle class. the government you vote for is the one that you put there. i've put down enough dues, i'm due and so are you. residents fear the president, i'm not the government. we ignore the masses of the whole entire race. men in suits? without a happy face. economy, technology, doesn't really work. the guy running the government, another jerk! i've tried to see these faces all around the way. you're lucky if they listen to a single word you say. more free lyrics |
29. _ Kerosene
everywhere I look I see exclusive huddled uninviting shelter is privilege of the same and competent kerosene keeps me warm I'm alone to watch it burn kerosene exposure is a pitiful and pointless way of dying before it gets me I'll set a funeral pyre kerosene keeps me warm I'm alone to watch it burn kerosene i'm a man and my dignity won't wave Tonight buildings rage! kerosene keeps me warm it feels so good to watch it burn kerosene kerosene keeps me warm feels so good to watch it burn kerosene more free lyrics |
30. _ Sowing The Seeds Of Utopia
We all know politicians only go Just half-way there Just half-way there The innocence of youth needs protection not abuse But no one seems to care Yet no one seems to care And you sit there adn watch the world go around >From your pseudo-benevolent vantage point While we who've been left to pick up after you Try our best to make some sense for those who Come next Now what have you done to foster the truth Besides just hide hide the lies? Besides just hide hide the lies? A selfish campaign never justifies the gain But the means are verified Yeah the means are verified And you sit there and insist you are right >From your popular psychological podium While those who rely and depend on you They wilt because you don't accept we need Each other Whule sowing the seeds of Utopia, You invoked a convenient amnesia You forgot how to care, you forgot how to provide, You forgot how to work toward a meaningful life more free lyrics |
31. _ Inner Logic
automatons with business suits clinging black boxes, sequestering the blueprints of daily life contented, free of care, they rejoice in morning ritual as they file like drone ant colonies to their office in the sky i don't ask questions, don't promote demonstrations, don't look for new consensus, don't stray from constitution if i pierce the complexity i won't find salvation just the bald and over truth of the evil and deception there is an inner logic, and we're taught to stay far from it it is simple and elegant, but it's cruel and antithetic and there's no effort to reveal it graduated mentors stroll in marbled brick porticos in sagacious dialog they despise their average ways displaying pomp and discipline, they mold their institution where they practice exclusion on the masses every day decorated warriors drill harmless kids on pavement simulating tyranny under red alert protecting the opulent and staging moral standard they expect redemption of character and self-growth (no equality, no opportunity, no tolerance for the progressive alternative . . .) more free lyrics |
32. _ New Leaf
when everybody dies around you, from someone else's gun, it really makes you stop and think about the years to come. something good had to happen to the human race. we all had better stop hoping and set our heads on straight. you've gotta turn over a new leaf, cause that old one's turning on you. we've gotta turn over a new leaf. if the future's only hoped for, we are doomed. today is over, it's already shot, so we can think about ourselves. they keep on working on our nature, they're saying that can only help. start throwing out your pockets, keep what you really only need. save life and earth and water, there can't be any other need. you've gotta turn over a new leaf, cause that old one's turning on you. you've gotta turn over a new leaf. if the future's only hoped for, we are doomed. you've gotta turn over a new leaf, cause that old one's turning on you. we've gotta turn over a new leaf. and let your love come on through. you've gotta turn over a new leaf, cause that old one's turning on you. we've gotta turn over a new leaf, a new, a new, a new. more free lyrics |
33. _ What It Is
here's a purpose, there's a goal, there's a virtuos, and immoral, there's a reason for all of this, and i don't know what it is i am one, and plural too, i accept them but they exclude, i could make sense of all of this, but i don't know what it is the seeds of inspiration never germinated in my mind, the beacon of awakening is somewhere that i can't find, so i don't know what it is there's a beginning, and there's an end, there's a climax, some would contend, there's a way to signify this, but i don't know what it is. more free lyrics |
34. _ Slumber
so, you're feeling unimportant, cuz you've got nothing to say, and your life is just a ramble, no one understands you anyway well, i've got a piece of news, son, that might make you change your mind, your life is historically meaningful, and spans a significant time slumber will come soon, and you are helping put it to sleep, side by side we do our share faithfully assuring that slumber will come soon well, now do you feel a little better?, lift up your head and walk away, knowing we're all in this together, for such a short time anyway there is just no time to parade around sulking, i would rather laugh than cry, the rich, the poor, the strong, the weak, we share this place together, and we pitch in to help it die i'm not good at giving morals, and i don't fear the consequence, if life makes you scared and bitter, at least its not for very long. more free lyrics |
35. _ 1,000 More Fools
I heard them say that the meek shall reign on earth, Phantasmal myriads of sane bucolic birth. I've seen the rapture in a starving baby's eyes, Inchoate beatitude, the Lord of the Flies. So what does it mean when your mind starts to stray? Kaleidoscoping images of love on the way. Brother you'd better get down on your knees and pay. 1,000 more fools are being born every fucking day. They try to tell me that the lamb is on the way, With microwave transmissions they bombard us every day. The masses are obsequious, contented in their sleep. The vortex of their minds ensconsed within the murky deep. So what does it mean when your mind starts to stray? Kaleidoscoping images of love on the way. Brother you'd better get down on your knees and pay. 1,000 more fools are being born every fucking day. more free lyrics |
36. _ Bad Religion
see my body, it's nothing to get hung about. i'm nobody except genetic runaround. spiritual era's gone, it ain't comin' back. bad religion, a cabal, that is all that's left. hey mr. mind, stop wasting my time, with your factory precision. factory precision is your bad religion, too good to take. indecision, it's not too late. bad religion, bad religion. don't you know the place you live's a piece of shit? don't you know blind faith in life will conquer it? don't you know responsibility is ours? i don't care a think about eternal fires. listen this time, it's more than a rhyme, it's your indecision. your indecision is your bad religion, too good to take. indecision, it's not too late. bad religion, too good to take. indecision, it's not too late. bad religion, bad religion, bad religion. more free lyrics |
37. _ Skyscraper
Come let us make bricks and burn them hard We'll build a city with a tower for the world and climb so we can reach anything at all Build me up, Tear me down like a skyscraper Build me up, then tear down These joining Walls So they can't climb at all I know why you tore it down that day You throught, if you got caught we'd all go away Like a spoiled little baby who can't come out to play You had your revenge Build me up, tears me down like a skyscraper Build me up, then tear down these joining walls So they can't climb at all more free lyrics |
38. _ Tiny Voices
the brown and orange sky holds its breath as the sun retreats to the distant horizon, and our hearts palpitate anxiously as we soon will lay supine, and wait for sleep to overcome us and from somewhere in our black, subconscious minds when we're asleep, comes a haunting swelling mass of voices, resonating, its screams of forgotten victims and the cries of innocence, and the desperate plea for recognition and recompense tiny voices, echoes of our heritage, our long and sallow faces turn the other way, tiny voices, harbored deep within as we outwardly deny that they have something to say, and if we don't confront them they will never go away the billions of tiny pinhole embers fade into a morning sky filled with poignant morose wonder, waking a bear a cosmetic peace that verifies the turmoil which we carry deep inside. more free lyrics |
39. _ No Substance
History doesn't make something right Consensus is not a fact-based exercise You're tied and bound to this selfindulgent enterprise... We call America A brush with a star, a token of love A name in the sand, enough is enough A diet of air, a face on the net A fish your palm, your television set Once you convince yourself The universe falls into place You've got your ideas And your posse of friends You all make up rules And the fun never ends But still there's a problem that leaves you gasping for air You look for some meaning, blank smiles are all that's there And still water stales a soft summer breeze You cling to your hopes while your drop to your knees There's no substance Once you convince yourself The universe falls into place You've got your ideas And your posse of friends You all make up rules And the fun never ends But still there's a problem that leaves you gasping for air You look for some meaning, blank smiles are all that's there And still water stales a soft summer breeze You cling to your hopes while your drop to your knees There's no substance more free lyrics |
40. _ Hear It
Like a morning crow and his unwelcome song Or a worn-out broken record that keeps skipping along Mountains of instructions you keep piling on me Resound like a cacophonous symphony But I don't wanna hear it anymore Priests and politicians pretend they're your friend And police speak to you like you're a child again Blanket statements cover you like a rug And thet tell me maybe I'm acting a little too smug But I don't wanna hear it anymore Every day we hear the secrets of life Reduced to cheap jokes, poetry, and friendly advice They'd rather see us all pusillanimous Absorbent in their chorus of correctness But I don't wanna hear it anymore more free lyrics |
41. _ 1000 Memories
You were the one, you were my everything Never apart, no one in-between Then one day, when you went your own way You felt justified, and I was mortified But today... You are just a picture And a thousand memories is all I take with me 'Cause your smile is just too much to see You're just a thousand memories Fantasies, broken dreams Reveries, sordid histories Following my heart, laden with reaction, without calibration or design Comitted to a trial, a life of understanding Can't somebody show a sign to you?

42. _ Yesterday
un, but don't be scared to look behind. stop, don't wait too long, make up your mind. the end is almost here, the sky, the air, so nice and clear, the sound of your decay, and the ringing in the air is the sweet debris of yesterday. there, now that you know it's not so bad. see, the good meet soon for lots of air. so if you try to enhance, we don't deserve another chance. just laugh along the way, and kiss your ass goodbye with a shadow dream of yesterday. yesterday, the good old days. yesterday, the way we used to play. yesterday, it just got worse and worse. yesterday, the future's been rehearsed. run, but don't be scared to look behind. stop, don't wait too long, make up your mind. the end is almost here, the sky, the air, so nice and clear, the sound of your decay, and the ringing in the air is the sweet debris of yesterday. yesterday. yesterday. more free lyrics |
43. _ Forbidden Beat
There was a boy who had too many toys and an ache inside of his bones. He sought extrication through chemical vocation and now he answers to Jones. It's deadly and alluring, the sound of pounding heat, Enslaving all who dare succumb to the temptations of the forbidden beat. Thinking today of what I want to say, thinking of inhibition and vice. What they call straight I do relegate as I cautiously saltate along. It's deadly and alluring, the sound of pounding heat, Enslaving all who dare succumb to the temptations of the forbidden beat. It thunders away at first light of each day and the simpleton lifestyle evolves But soon enters dusk as the last surrey rusts and a new day upon us results. It's deadly and alluring, the sound of pounding heat, Enslaving all who dare succumb to the temptations of the forbidden beat. Forbidden Beat (x6) more free lyrics |
44. _ Raise Your Voice

45. _ Land Of Competition
See there's a girl who's afraid of the world so she stays at home. Next there's a boy who seems so lost in his joy, he's all alone. The camera's on them, they're in the land of competition. Southern California air feeds them. And they know they are best 'cuz of the way they are dressed, But you can bet you are not welcome in their home. See there's a girl who sits and watches the world from her blue screen. Also a boy who truly wants to destroy his hometown scene. They both want to travel to the land of competition. Southern California will destroy them, And they won't be the best, they'll be the poseurs who dress Like the plastic idiots who they copy. Tell me what do you need to make you happy? Indeed, is it out of your reach? Beware of number one, see all the damage it has done, there are so few of them. You won't find to many in the land of competition. Southern California doesn't breed them. If you just want the best turn to yourself for the rest And forget about the ones who "have it all." Be careful of the ones who "have it all." Be careful of the ones who "have it all." Forget about the ones who "have it all." more free lyrics |
46. _ Don't Pray On Me
a grizzly scene on my electron beam told a story about human rights so all of Kings horses and all of Kings men had a riot for two days and nights Well, the city exploded but the gates wouldn't open so the company asked him to quit Now everybody's equal Just don't measure it Well Hanson did it hester and Mark David did it to John and maybe Jack dit it to Marilyn but he did it to South Vietnam for beauty and glory for money, love and country Everybody's doing it, Don't do that to me I don't know what stopped Jesus Christ from turning every hungry stone into bread and i don't remember hearing how Moses reacted when the innocent first born sons lay dead Well I guess God was a lot more demonstrative back when he flamboyantly parted the sea now everybody's praying Don't prey on me more free lyrics |
47. _ Pessimistic Lines
So here we are again to experience the bitter, scalding end And we're the only ones who can perceive it. But others sing of beauty and the story that's unfolded As one that deserves praise and ritual. My pessimistic lines, Your superstitious lives, And the modern age's lies won't absolve you. And the professorial truth, And the dear clairvoyant youth, And of course the nightly news will deceive you. (Watch out!) My pessimistic lines, Your superstitious lives, And the modern age's lies won't absolve you. And the professorial truth, And the dear clairvoyant youth, And of course the nightly news will deceive you. (Let's go!) more free lyrics |
48. _ The Handshake
every time you shake someone's hand and it feels like your best friend, could it be that it's only superficiality?, without regard to well-being, without an inkling of compromise, handshakes are nothing but a subtle "fuck you", contracts determine the best friendships this is the way of the modern world, everyone's vying for patronage, this is the way of the modern world, and something has gotta give every time you shake someone's hand, and you share neither color or creed, you gotta overcome the obstacles of history, there is restrained passion, mistrust, and bigotry and these have created the new foundations of society, there's no harmony just class and race this is the way of the modern world, everyone's fighting for dominance, this is the way of the modern world, and something has gotta give now i believe in unity, and i am willing to compromise, but i'm not gonna lie or sell my soul every time you shake someone's hand, it determines where you stand, and if you won't uphold your side then it's better to fend for yourself, and shun the handshake, someone's gotta give. more free lyrics |
49. _ Drastic Actions
heard a word, suicide, not from one, but from thousands that tried. the lawyer's wife and the teenage brat, one thing in common, they all wanted out. and it's plain to see. it goes for you and it goes for me, and all the screwed up little girls and boys all thrown in without a choice. but i heard him say, "i want out, no complaints and no doubts, just a chance to go on." i heard a word, suicide, and not from one, but from thousands that died. want some attention and a little less regret, a teenage fluff, little threat. and there are those, there are those who think that drastic actions will make them unique. it's really all the same, that no one's happy and nobody's to blame. and the moral to this story is old. it's quite taboo, seldom told. the seed is reaped before it's sown, a bad choice was never resolved. more free lyrics |
50. _ Along The Way
i refuse to abuse what is kind to the muse, but it's there and it's happening to me along the way. as we go through the snow, we cannot forget our foes, but the dinner's always waiting at the table along the way, yeah. what you see, not for me, isn't what you planned to be, but you'll have what you wanted in the end along the way. and we'll try as we cry and our brothers pass us by, to be strong through the ages of our tears along the way, yeah. now we grow as we show that the morals we must know will be shapen and mistaken by the falls along the way. but forget, don't regret, to find love and happiness unless you're willing to be strong when they are gone along the way. like tommy, you are free, and you will not follow me, until we see each other once more on the path along. more free lyrics |

52. _ What Can You Do?
So you waste another day getting older and gray in the head, And you're hearing lots of stories 'bout the happy times you have ahead. There are other folks in power so you kick back and get farther behind, And although the world rotates itself the only thing you twist is your mind. You see, the world's falling apart at the rifts, And surprisingly, the leaders can't make any sense of it. You mean nothing to the world, we're all someone else's fool, But oh, what can you do? "Yeah you waste your time with losers if you get stuck in a rock-n-roll band." Do you find it more rewarding to compete with morons throughout this land? They seem to be in power so I'll kick back and get farther behind. And I watch them as they fuck up every good thing on this earth with their "minds." You see, the world's falling apart at the rifts, And surprisingly, the leaders can't make any sense of it. You mean nothing to the world, we're all someone else's fool, But oh, what can you do? Yeah you waste another day getting older and gray in the head, And we're hearing lots of stories 'bout the happy times we have ahead. The morons are in power so we kick back and get farther behind, And we watch them as they fuck up every good thing on this earth with their "minds." You see, the world's falling apart at the rifts, And surprisingly, the leaders can't make any sense of it. We mean nothing to the world, we're all someone else's fool, But oh, what can you do? I said, oh, what can you do? (Go!) more free lyrics |

54. _ Punk Rock Song
Have you been to the desert? Have you walked with the dead? There's a hundred thousand children being killed for their bread And the figures don't lie they speak of human disease But we do what we want and we think what we please Have you lived the experience? Have you witnessed the plague? People making babies sometimes just to escape In this land of competition the compassion is gone Yet we ignore the needy and we keep pushing on We keep pushing on... This is just a punk rock song Written for the people who can see something's wrong Like ants in a colony we do our share But there's so many other fuckin' insects out there And this is just a punk rock song (Like workers in a company we do our share But there's so many other fuckin' robots out there) Have you visited the quagmire? Have you swam in the shit? The party conventions and the real politik The faces always different, the rhetoric the same But we swallow it all, and we see nothing change Nothing has changed... 10 million dollars on a losing campaign 20 million starving and writhing in pain Big strong people unwilling to give Small in vision and perspective One in five kids below the poverty line One population runnin' out of time more free lyrics |
55. _ How Much Is Enough?
Tell me can the hateful chain be broken? Production and consumption define our hollow lives. Avarice has led us 'cross the ocean, Toward a land that's better, much more bountiful and wide. When will mankind finally come to realize His surfeit has become his demise? How much is enough to kill yourself? That quantity is known today, as we blow ourselves away. Tell me is there anything so sure? Rapacity, tenacity, capacity for more! Like a dog that feeds until he suffers, The infirmity of man is brough on by his selfish cure. When will mankind finally come to realize His surfeit has become his demise? How much is enough to kill yourself? That quantity is known today, as we blow ourselves away. more free lyrics |
56. _ Leave Mine To Me
there are desperate times upon us, there are codes of white and black, political resentment and people start to crack, there's hate and opposition, there's fumbling dialog, yet you sit there and judge me and you think it makes a difference if you think i'm all alone you are foolishly wrong, there's an entire army who blindly follow along, and you happen to be one of them believe it or not, even though you try not to be we are of the same plague the other ways we're taught to fear, don't even scratch the surface of the problem here, i'm not blind, and i'm not scared, so many crucial factors exist out there, and we're but one, and they're bout two, and how we come to terms will help us pull through things cannot change too fast, it took us this much time, to reach our current platform and walk this fragile line, if i thought i'd make a difference i'd kill myself today, but so many are like me lost in the fray you create your own reality, and leave mine to me. more free lyrics |
57. _ 21st Century (Digital Boy)

61. _ All Fantastic Images
England seemed like such a beautiful place from afar Until one day I went and saw how miserabely how things really are All Fantastic I'mages they only are apparent Propagated just by hope and desire to share it Beauty was the allure that brought me close to you Loneliness was the bond that made me stick like glue All Fantastic I'mages they only are apparent Promoted by desperate hope that things are somewhere better I don't have a thing against fantasy But to chase it down just don't make sense to me If you're only hope is simply peace and love You end up discarding most of what you're made of All Fantastic I'mages they only are apparent Promoted by desperate hope And the need to share it more free lyrics |
62. _ I Give You Nothing/Tom Clement...
Hey, everybody's looking but they never can see, All the angst, corruption and the dishonesty. Think about the times and places you've never known, You're a man-swarm atom and yet you're alone, So I give you me, I give you nothing! I give you me, I give you nothing! So you got a place that you can call all your own, But you make a habit of carrying the stone. Look around and ask someone if you are alive, You're a sidewalk cipher speaking prionic jive, So I give you me, I give you nothing! I give you me, I give you nothing! Respectable, despicable, it seems all the same. Now we realize that we have nothing to say. If your reserve is weak, audacity complete. Ask yourself again, "Do I deserve much from them?" No! Hey, everybody's looking but they never can see, All the angst, corruption and the dishonesty. Look around and ask someone if you are alive, You're a sidewalk cipher speaking prionic jive, So I give you me, I give you nothing! I said I give you me, I give you nothing! more free lyrics |

We're widespread and well fed, The earth's rotating fate is in our head, oh yeah. We're dominant and prominent, And our diety's omnipotent, oh yeah. And immortality's in our mastermind, And we destroy everything we can find. And tomorrow when the human clock stops and the world stops turning, We'll be an index fossil buried in our own debris.

And immortality's in our mastermind, And we destroy everything that we find. And tomorrow when the human clock stops and the world stops turning, We'll be an index fossil buried in our own debris. See, immortality's in our mastermind, And we destroy everything that we find. And tomorrow when the human clock stops and the world stops turning, We'll be an index fossil buried in our own debris.

66. _ Part II (The Numbers Game)
(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) It's superficial progress, they call it liberation. With opiates of silicon, Big Brother schemes to rule the nation. We're one nation under God, we stand above the rest; With mighty high technology, we're never second best. Our specialty is infiltration! Prepare yourself for subjugation, Victory through domination. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) The trepidatious throngs all fears the big eye in the sky. The government observes them with their own electric eye. We're one nation under God, we stand above the rest; With mighty high technology, we're never second best. Our specialty is infiltration! Prepare yourself for subjugation. Automatons, illiterates, and indigents of every shape and size Don't stop but aid this cruel crusade, participate in their own demise. We're one nation under God, we stand above the rest; With mighty high technology, we're never second best. Our specialty is infiltration! So pack your bags you third-world nation, Victory through domination. more free lyrics |
67. _ All Good Soldiers
all good soldiers crack like boulders The sun climbs up to a razon, violins, new boots, and numbers on a chain All good soldiers all good soldiers fall in line when they march and shout- are a spectacle marching and singing- will go abnywhere the president says- because the president believes in god- like all good soldiers wait like warheads- When the fighting starts who will be accountable, a cannibal, a cannoball It's six A.M. I can see my breath and the clay dirt is laughing at the weekling boy- today is the day that I'll write my friends its something I've been trying to remenber- I had a dream of a wall that was twenty-one stories tall... All good soldiers fall in line when they march and shout- are a respectable marching and signing- will go anywhere the president says- because the president believes in god- like all good soldiers should more free lyrics |
