Perfect Society

Perfect. Society. (3x)
Perfect? Fuck no!
Live in a drug free world
No emotions shown
No one lives and no one dies
No one holds their own
It’s all a game
everyone’s the same
It’s all routine
It happens again and again
Futuristic modern world
Everyone’s thought-free
People like ants carrying out their tasks
The perfect society
It’s all a game
everyone’s the same
It’s all routine
It happens again and again
Is this the way you want things? (Fuck No!)
From here to eternity? (Fuck No!)
A system of ants carrying out their tasks
A perfect society (2x) (Fuck No!)
It’s all a game
everyone’s the same
It’s all routine
It happens again and again
Live in a drug free world
No emotions shown
No one lives and no one dies
No one holds their own
Futuristic modern world
Everyone’s thought-free
People like ants carrying out their tasks
The perfect society

Bomb Blast
02:26

The wreckage of my past - a bomb blast
of chaos strewn insanely all bout
Finally I see, the time has come to grieve
the loss of friends who died or live in doubt
Living life without concern or care about
the pain and suffering or the damage done
I mourn the loss of youth - the fucking fool
who tried everything beneath the moon and sun
Everything.
Everything.
Beneath the moon and sun.
Bomb Blast (chaos defined)
My past (a life left behind)
Shrapnel ( all tore up inside)
Bits of my life (2x)
Moving on I tried, I watched so many die
The fucking times of violence and crime
Being on the run, we thought was so much fun
before the funerals or the prison time.
All of the schemes - big score of our dreams
no protection but my butterfly knife.
Endless parole, warrants took their toll
so very few escaped with our lives.
Bomb Blast (chaos defined)
My past (a life left behind)
Shrapnel ( all tore up inside)
Bits of my life

Divided
02:12
|
|||
A plague upon the earth we see as hierarchy prevails
Undermining life support as systems start to fail.
Consumer or consumed. Fight or fucking die.
Pitched against each other. Never knowing why.
Horizontal hostility. Disenfranchised tribe.
Crushing solidarity. Weakened by design
In. The. End. Who. Will. Be. Left. Alive.
Divided - conquered all.
Divided - In. The. End. Who. Will. Live.
Society’s diseased. A plague upon the Earth.
Without a drastic change there will be no rebirth.
Empathy’s condemned. Goddamned worthless traits.
Dis-com-pass-ionate spinning virtue as hate.
Philosophic waxing. Grave impotency.
Preaching to the masses sanctimoniously.
In. The. End. Who. Will. Be. Left. To. Hear. Such. Righteousness?
Divided - conquered all.
Divided - In. The. End. Who. Will. Hear?
Divided - conquered all.
Divided
In. The. End. You. Will. Be.
Conquered. Divided all.
In. The. End. Who. Will. Be. Left.
Divided - conquered all.
Divided - conquered all.
Divided - In. The. End. You. Will. Be.

Endless Warfare
03:00
|

The smell of death
That of rotting corpse
That of capitalism
The smell of money
That of greed
That of a corrupt system
The smell of smoke
That of carbon monoxide
That of fire & heat
The smell of bombs
That of metal bits
Raw flesh seared meat
Endless warfare dominant culture the odor of decay.
Historically since world war 2 until the present day (2x)
The sight of anguish
Pain and despair
That of hopeless agony
The Sight of loss
That of extirpation
Your lost progeny
Endless warfare dominant culture with no end in sight.
See the vultures, see the gathering storm of might is right.
The price of silence deafening discharge of loaded gun
The sounds of bombs
They rattle your fillings
They shake you to the core
The sounds of screaming
civilians, soldiers
yelling “hit the floor!”
The sound of mortars in the distance walking slowly near
Silent prayer to deaf gods death I shall not fear
Death I shall not fear
Death I shall not fear
Death I shall not fucking fear

Stockholm Syndrome

Stockholm Syndrome
Born into slavery, they could not
easily imagine life with freedom.
It’s how every single empire has thrived
and every single dead kingdom.
Machine of propaganda- daily TV
A disease controlling your mind
What if we are the slaves that believe we’re free
It’s the Stockholm syndrome of humankind.
The culture grinds on inexorably
Two hundred extinctions every day
The profit margin The one true god
Commodifying death in every way
Machine of propaganda daily TV
A disease controlling your mind
What if we are the slaves who think we are free
It’s the Stockholm syndrome of humankind.
Born into slavery, they could not
easily imagine a life of freedom.
It’s how every single empire thrives
and every single motherfuckin’ dead kingdom.
StockhoIm. Syndrome
Do you really think that you’re free?
Stockholm. Syndrome
Time to show your captor some sympathy
Who amongst you considers yourself -Do you think you’re free?
What if we’re the slaves who cannot help but show our abuser sympathy?
Born into slavery, they could not
easily imagine life with freedom.
It’s how every single empire thrives
and every single dead kingdom.
Machine of propaganda daily TV
A disease controlling your mind
What if we are the slaves who think we’re free
It’s the Stockholm syndrome of humankind.

Hometown Hero

HOMETOWN HERO
High school drop out in a culture of war
Options for the future are few
Scarcity of jobs, tired of lookin no more
Ripe for the pickin recruit.
Positive reinforcement by family and friends
The media does their part.
glorifying the righteousness of battle.
Dubious portrayal of war as art.
Hometown hero
No fortunate son
Forward into battle
Marching one by one (by one)
Boot camp loss of identity
That shit was crushed right out of your soul
Replaced with conviction of martyrdom
A killing machine for humanity
Hometown hero
A call to fight
Forward into battle
pack your gear your on the next flight.
First day in country was a fuckin’ joke
Natives fucking ungrateful wretches
Fuck ‘em if they can’t take a fuckin’ joke.
brotherhood replacing guilt for their deaths
Mirrors reflection unrecognized
Would parents love a hero like this
Second guessing your humanity
I ain’t no goddamn pacifist
One day bleeds into another
Sleepless months upon end
War crime deeds of your brothers
It’s kill or be murdered instead
One month bleeds into another
Three days and a wake up is all
Looking your family in the eyes
Will they see from grace did you fall
First day back home was a fucking shock
Surreal doesn’t even come close
“Did you kill anyone?” They want you to brag
Glassy eyed questions smiles comatose
Hometown hero
No longer know who you are
Another forgotten soldier
Hero of another war

Primitive
Looking at the world today I dream of other times
Our modern way seems perilous just read between the lines
200,000 years ago, our species came to stay
14 K most recent years -the planet’s been laid to waste
For most of time we’ve barely left a mark
Now with all our toys and drones and ruling oligarch
Greedy few determine all decisions for the masses
Profiting from ecocide and fucking greenhouse gasses
People always push back, they tell me war’s a human trait
It’s human nature man, why all the techno hate?
Of course it benefits domesticated civilized
to think their way the one true way for us to live our lives
Culture has you by the throat you thank it all with glee
The only facts you’ll admit to are written history
conveniently the writers born from dominating states
retell the tales indignantly self righteous stupid fakes
I’ve heard all of the arguments (about) how fucking right it is
That modern human living, hell, we’re destined for this
But I can’t help but wonder how much better off we (really) are
With population overshoot and endless resource wars
All of those who lived before wetico vampirism
the lost traditions skills sacred colors of a prism
How cozy life can be when we forget about them all
Hate’s a pleasant justifying force let’s have a ball
Consider though what it could be- clean air, and water too
A life that’s worthy of the land base to be true.
Community cooperation moving with the seasons
Free associations no more rhyming without reasons
I’ve heard all of the arguments from Nasty, brutish, short
To cannibals and endless rape, and murder just for sport
Dismissive of the primitive who lived in harmony
Damage to the biosphere - (they did/was) far and few between.
A healthy biosphere diversity of species
Without concern or care we can blow ourselves to pieces
Plutonium is fucked next to “warring” tribes with sticks
Daisy cutters phosphorus what a goddamn fix
I crave a life of a dream of mine connected to what’s real
Life and death and wandering and hunting my next meal
Predator and prey a lived relationship
The sacred understanding of the ultimate to give
