NO PEACE
Money causes problems
Can’t you see
The rich are killing
You and me
Who needs cars
Who needs boats?
Can’t you see
There is no hope
Man I’m rich
Can’t you see
I don’t need you
You don’t need me
See my house
My white picket fence
Both my cars
They’re really intense
Money causes problems
Can’t you see
The rich are killing
You and me
All these dreams
Of a peaceful life
Human Nature
Is for us to fight
Who needs countries
Or country lines
You keep yours
I‘ll keep mine
We’ll live together
Peacefully
It’s impossible
We’re people you see
All these dreams
Of a peaceful life
We live each day
To fight for our rights
Maybe it’s wrong
But that’s the way it is
We’re concerned
About the future

SOCIETY GONE MADD
I really have enjoyed my stay
I wish that we could play all day
Don’t tell them where I’ve touched you
You know that would be a bit much
Now that we have had this time
It will always cross your mind
If they knew how young you were
The law would think me really blurred
Has our society gotten so bad
That people are completely madd?
And money’s what controls our lives
If you’ve got that, anything is right
All these stigmas cloud our mind.
No one ever draws the line
All this worship of satanic gestures
Has got to have you really guessing
Do you look at a pentagram and see
Idealistic dreams, not me
If you see evil as the truth
Then your mind is really screwed
I can’t say I believe in God
But anything evil has got to be wrong
Now it’s okay to cheat on your wife
Sorry, I won’t lead that kind of life
Be the type that beats my kids
‘Cause I know that’s what they really need
Have a life that focuses on me
Isn’t that the way it has to be’
So why don’t you draw the fucking line?!

Basic Beat

BASIC BEAT
The basic beat, it’s all the same
Everyone cheats, life’s just a game
You can’t win, but you can loose
You’ve got to grow up, so you can choose
There’s nothing around that’s still the same
Everyone tries to progress and change
They put on an act, that’s so unreal
Try to forget so they don’t feel
All the latest are copies of the real thing
No one seems to have original style
You can never separate the real thing
It comes along once in a while
There are millions made in mass production
All it takes is the push of a button
New music, it’s all the same
Get a dance best, and you’ve made a name

NOT THIS AGAIN
You say this songs been written
And these lyrics have been said before
Well everything’s been written so –
I’m gonna write it again
And Shove it down your throat!

Who Wins

WHO WINS?
I think about my life
Wondering what’s left
Hating the world
For what they’ve
Done to me
Hoping for solace
When I get to my room
Death lies waiting
Impending doom
Trapped in a life
That I don’t want
For myself
I get my stool
And tie the rope
Because I have
Run out of hope
Too late to stop
It’s on my neck
I drop the stool
It all goes black
The moment I stood
In the air
I realized
How much I cared
About this life
I was to lead
Too much pity
Too much greed
I know it now
Too late for me
I’ve ended it all
My misery
What does it prove
Who does it help
Who wins?
When you lose yourself

FREEDOM
Suicidal deaths, at an all time high
You don’t care until it’s your kids
Committing suicide
Fuck those kids, born to lose
Adult world, Adult rules
Depressed kids, wanting to die
Stealing cars, boredom’s why
Close our clubs, nothing to do
We’re dying, all because of you
Don’t blame us, and our ways
We didn’t sak to be born
We just ask to exist
Take sway existence, nothing’s left
Next generation, having too much fun
Put to a stop with laws and guns

RELIGIOUS FUNDAMENTALISTS
Religious fundamentalists
Killed freedom in America
Mad Christian crusaders
Banning burning textbooks
Secular humanism –
¬Man using his brain
Differs from the beliefs
Of religious fundamentalists
Their strangling education
Fascists in America
God solves all their problems
Cinderella is satanic
Religious evangelists
Emptying the libraries
Censorship on television
Magazines and music
Maybe the Moral Majority
Killed freedom of expression
A totalitarian regime
Is happening in America
A small but loud group
Biased and unelected
Are stuffing their morality
And religion down our throats
They refuse to see the dangers
Of banning creative learning
It’s our freedom of thought
So fuck the Moral Majority!
