SET YOURSELF FREE

Verse I:
You say the system sucks, you say you want a revolution
You wanta smash the state, but you've got no solution
Your head's a fucking mess distraught & disillusioned

Chorus:
I see the shit going on in this & other countries
I take a look & all I see is mass conformity
Anarchists & Patriots, neither side can i believe
I just want the truth so I can set myself free

Verse II:
You buy their records & blindly take their side
No cause or reason for the things that you decide
Either half a brain or not a single ounce of pride

Repeat Chorus

Verse III:
Propaganda, it surrounds me all the time
It causes apathy & mixes up my mind
Fuck your politics, it's the truth i wanta find

Repeat Chorus

ROLL THA DICE

Verse I:
Every fuckin' day it's all the same
Seems like some things will never change
I think it's time to rearrange
Don't wanna play this stupid game

Chorus:
Take my turn & roll tha dice
See what I'm in for now(2x)

Verse II:
I got no loot , I can't get far
I ain't livin' like a movie star
Hiding all day , livin' in shame
Don't want to play this stupid game

Repeat Chorus

Verse III:
Did the crimes , then they came
Beat down the door with guns in hand
Told me that I was the man
Don't wanna play this stupid game

Repeat Chorus 2X

RECONSTRUCTION

Verse I:
130 years in the making
The KKK won't awaken
Executive plans crash & burn
While the citizens' anger churns
A tax is passed for a useless cause
Working class abide to the laws
Reconstruct this Nation's flaws

Chorus:
Reconstruction
Reconstruction
Reconstruction

Verse II:
50+ years since the Big One
"Aryan" boneheads gather their guns
Take initiative do it tonight
Did you know you had that right
Recall them for their greed
Country needs some integrity
Progress to the next century

Repeat Chorus

(foul scream)

BLUE BLOOD

Verse I:
I got blue blood , pumping through my veins
For all the people that jockey desks , I've got nothing but disdain
Never went to college , but still I use my brain
To achieve the goals I've set , my efforts will not wane

Pre-Chorus:
It's not work if you don't sweat
Wipe your brow & pay your debts
Take your skills someplace else
If you cannot better yourself

Repeat Pre-Chorus:

Chorus:
The bosses give us no respect
They don't see that we're adept
If they try to lock our cell
They won't stand a chance in hell

Verse II:
We got blue blood , coursing through our veins
Bosses talk to us , like we've got no brains
But we won't forget , the goals we can attain
The slackers will come & go , but the true workers remain

Repeat Pre-Chorus
Repeat Chorus

DAY IN , DAY OUT

Verse I:
My friends have always been there for me , Helping me out of a bind
So why do I feel so alone , teased by the hopes of my mind
I try & find some peace in bottles , It helps to pass the time
Problems will arise tomorrow , Can't seem to cross that line

Chorus:
Day in day out , Day in day out - Nothing ever seems to change
Day in day out , Day in day out - Always going against the grain
Day in day out , Day in day out - On the edge of a knife
Day in day out , Day in day out - I may be wasting away my life

Verse II:
Feelin' destructive coz we're buzzin' , Lock our aim on a work site
Feelin' destructive coz of boredom , we can't even pick a fight
Drinkin' beers & smokin' pot , starts to lose its appeal
Working is my highlight now , At least I know that it's real

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
Always by myself , Nothing ever seems to change
My life is always goin' , always goin' against th grain
Scared that I might slip , on the edge of a knife
If everything's the same , I may be wasting away my life

LIVIN WITH REGRETS

Verse I:
Some things I've seen & some things I've done
They wouldn't seem like much , but they keep me in touch
With the way things are & the way things were
I'm still here , standing still is my greatest fear
I feel the worst has yet to come
I've made the calls , & I've taken some falls
I can't help but think I'm wasting my life
Why am I always the one , who can't break free & run

Chorus:
I know all the things that I've done in the past
Are all effecting me now
If I hadn't done all those things in the past
Maybe things would be different now

Verse II:
Don't waste your life , like I've wasted mine
From what I can see , you'll end up just like me
You'll quit your job & steal from your friends
What's wrong with you , can't you see I did that too
Life ain't easy , it ain't all fun & games
But take it from me , the big house isn't pretty
You gotta work to make real money
It's the only way to truly get paid

Repeat Chorus

Breakdown:
Don't make the same mistakes that I made when I was young
I wish I could tell you all the things that I've done
There's too much to tell ,you wouldn't care anyway
I have regrets that I cannot outrun

Verse III:
I've lost some friends along the way
One of them got shot , another just plain gave up
Wish they were here , but I tell you they're not
They're gone for sure , but on my own I'll stand strong
I can't help but think , it could've been me
Out there that night , in that fuckin' fight
I guess I'm just lucky that I'm still here
There's still a ways to go , & that I do know
