Lyrics to songs on this release:
Insecurity
So you've paid your dues and stood your ground much longer than most have been around
You think they all owe you respect and should praise your superior intellect.
I'm sick of all the token lines, "Stupid kid has no mind"
"He's only 14 he has no clue"
"He won't stick around cause he's way too new"
So you've paid your dues but what for? Sticking around to uphold the score
Maybe you'll give them a chance to "succeed"
maybe you'll talk to them and do a "good" deed.
"She's just here to pick up guys"
"I saw his parents drop him off tonight"
"I've never seen them at a show before - I wonder what they came here for?"
Your arrogance is out of control
You think you'll decide who can stay and who'll go
Who can join the club is up to you
After all you've paid your dues - after all
But until they too have paid their dues
until they' re no longer children, and they're no longer new
until they all agree with your views....
Nobody owes you!
Organize
We must come together and work as one
forever in struggle if we are to live in peace
We must organize and unify if we want to even budge
the forces that we're up against won't easily give up.
We must come together and work as one
forever in struggle
if we're to make a difference then we haven't yet begun.
Organize, organize - we must create an order to counteract the shit they talk with all their propaganda
Organize, organize - we must realize that we must work together to make our world better
Organize, organize - we must organize if we're to make a difference then we have to realize
that the system is still murder and we're still fucking pawns
and if we're to make a difference- we must work as one!
Another year passes and the system still maintains
raking in the profits while shitting out our brains
tv, billboards, media all manipulate the words and actions of our world to teach us to hate
and violence grows on the streets and in our fucking minds
the time has come to make a change through truth we must find
that the system is still murder and we're still fucking pawns
in a game that they created from which greed and hatred spawn.
Man Made Border, Man Made Lies
Another racist law, another restriction
The explinations that they cling to are purely contradiction
If you've something to offer they may let you in
Especially if they approve of the color of your skin.
We have to fight back against this racist jurisdiction
We have to fight back and show our opposition
The number of laws are growing everyday
The borders they recognize shouldn't be there anyway.
They say immigration's causing the US to overpopulate
Causing us to become unemployed at an alarming rate
But the bastards don't think twice about the lower rate of pay
They're dishing out to some poor child in a 3rd world country.
So they'll build another wall up to keep "those people" out
And hire more armed guards to ensure that there's no doubt
Of the people ever gaining power and taking back their lives
Or of tearing down these man-made borders that perpetuate their lies.
We have to fight back and oppose their hate
We have to fight back before it's too late
We can't sit back and let them win
We have to fight back against this racist system.
And it's our legislation with another law to pass
That only serves the interest of the fucking ruling class
The same legislation that gives INS the right
To rape, murder and torture anyone who isn't white.
Stand Up and Resist
The voice of the victim stays silent, unoticed in order to turn over a profit.
The power structure doesn't just change from a wish.
It takes action - persistance.
So how many more times will I hear "it's not my fight"?
Stand up & resist
Before we start to open up our eyes?
Stand up & resist
We must realize that it's one fucking struggle - it's one fucking fight.
Everything is connected - one world, one struggle, one power, one people.
How many more times will we forcefeed generations the lies?
Stand up & resist
Lies of freedom while teaching them the ways of oppression
Stand up and resist
Why do we forcefeed generations lies of freedom, while teaching them the ways of oppression?
That they have a voice, but they shouldn't raise it
That they have a choice, but don't know how to make it
That they have freedom but shouldn't question what that means
That they are merely another cog, in the machine.
Inhumane Cage
With ignorance in power and tax dollars in his trust
Pretending he's a scientist, doing what he must
Now he's on a mission and he won't give up the fight
After 150 million deaths will he still claim to be right?
It's all been said and done before, but never the less he wages war
To win the approval of a nation, ignoring all the implications
What the fuck is it he sees that this will bring humanity?
Archaic tests with results that lie, this modern day Hitler needs to die!
If you think you're so superior to the animals that you've decided their lives are yours to take,
Then why do you apply test results to us, and put human lives at stake?
Ignoring the alternatives, ignoring the facts
Ignoring that it's been done before and the accuracy it lacks.
Has he even given a second thought to what ChemRTK means?
Or is it the EPA and vivisectors pulling Al Gore's strings?
A World With No Future
In a world with no future
And in a time that made no sense
Existence had stopped and stood still
Factories pumping the weapons of wartime
Made with intention to kill
Now, we're a nuclear wasteland
A world full of hatred
We sat and watched it all go by
News breaking coverage of the people all dying
And no one ever asked why
What will we tell the children?
Will there be any left to hear?
Will the children be able to listen?
Or will they all be hiding in fear?
There's a man on the TV, talking away
Telling the death toll for today
But no one is watching
Nobody is listening
Cause they've all been taken away
Stuck in the camps or handed machine guns
They were told to fight for a cause
Now they're killing their brothers and they're killing their mothers
To keep their own lives from being lost.
Over time, the numbers had increased
The flesh piles stacked up high
Nothing will change, unless we are to change it
And the dying will continue to die
What will we tell the children?
Will there be any left to hear?
Will the children be able to listen?
Or will they all be hiding in fear?
What happened to all of the children?
What stories will we have left to be said?
How will the children hear them?
Once all the children are dead....
