Behave 07:46

Oh, they say behave... Its institution, revolution, and apple pie anything anytime instantly gratified give me give me give me some of that all the time weaned on wanting anything that's shrink wrapped and priced You sought it, you bought, and its a fit Desire bought and sold and I ain't having it Mine! All Mine! Shoot ahead, steal the march, always have whip hand Rule your roost, strike the march, be the one with the better plan Miss your mark it's the devil to pay, no you can't turn your head another way At the top of the heap where you will be, stooping to conquer's no victory. Get up! It's convoluted, so polluted, one great big lie Culture-less and solipsist the things that we prize Said you fought it but they swallowed you deep inside Things have gone a little deeper here than your injured pride Mine! All Mine! Shoot ahead, steal the march, always have whip hand Rule your roost, strike the march, be the one with the better plan Miss your mark it's the devil to pay, no you can't turn your head another way At the top of the heap where you will be, stooping to conquer's no victory. The institution has gone too far. They laugh at nothing, all hollow. No revolution can get too far. Don't count on us, we just follow. Oh, they say behave...

Mastered, whipped from birth, disinformation set forth And we surf through life, working hard but always just getting by And we're told that we might break the mold, but the dream gets old We're much too sated and outsold Does it rub you the wrong way? Does it rub you any way? I can barely breathe, I'm choking down your banal dream You want to take the edge away, bury my head in golden clay Then you turn me down like a second rate Irate I walk slowly away but I know you know it's wrong so be prepared cause we're gonna bring it on you Head up! You live and die by the number I won't lay down and die by your number Head up! You live and die by the number I won't lay down and die by your number Round and round it goes. Do you wanna go faster? Round and round it goes. Do you wanna go faster? Round and round it goes. Do you wanna go faster? Round and round it goes. Faster! Fractured, ripped apart. Old cliche, broken heart Lost the point at the start, and just became the mark And I was told that I could break the mold Can't even break away from my time being bought and sold Does it rub you the wrong way? Does it rub you any way? I can barely breathe, I'm choking down your banal dream You want to take the edge away, bury my head in golden clay Then you turn me down like a second rate Irate I walk slowly away but I know you know it's wrong so be prepared cause we're gonna bring it on you Head up! You live and die by the number I won't lay down and die by your number Head up! You live and die by the number I won't lay down and die by your number Head up you keep your motherfucking number I don't want a piece if takes another number You keep your number. I'll keep my name Find another sucker I won't play your game.

Breath in, scream out, just what you do for free Hands in, heart out, the greed tuned perfectly Whisper don't shout until you see the trees Harrowed, no doubt fell to ignominy Then you did find inside what you could not hide Your wasted pride - faith in a faithless place How did I get here? Is this the place I dreamed hiding so safely underneath electric blanket seems? Where is my solace now? Who is my guiding light? I believe I'm going postal - yeah, I'll get there overnight What did you finally do? Over the edge with a vengeance, oh no. Washed out, washed up and washed away to sea The 10 worst things you could have done you keep A list waiting for better days it seems Ambition tainted all your youthful dreams Still you pretend to look away, look up toward a future day Faith in this faithless place How did I get here? Is this the place I dreamed hiding so safely underneath electric blanket seems? Where is my solace now? Who is my guiding light? I believe I'm going postal - yeah, I'll get there overnight What did you finally do? Over the edge with a vengeance, oh no. Washed out, washed up and washed away to sea You cannot bring me back And I know you're looking back at me You cannot bring me back again Fleshed out, toned up, and gift wrapped for free You cannot bring me back And I know you want a piece of me You cannot bring me back again But I'm too far gone for your sympathetic rage to sieze You cannot bring me back I'm not coming back for you to beat You cannot bring me back again I feel into the worst of your traps, but now I'm free.... Prattle, rattle on for days and your frazzled eyes are glazed I see through you like you want me to, it's not for you to decide I will make my way to any destination Anywhere at all...

Who said you could get in my face? Who said you could get in my face? Who said you could get in my face? You better turn back or I'm gonna slow your pace Who said you could come to my place? Who said you could come to my place? Who said you could come to my place? You better turn back or your gonna feel outta place Don't think I'm gonna see you back here Don't think I'll see you back here Don't think I'll see you back here What was I thinking? Before I lost my mind to the outrage Before I lost my mind in the rat cage Before I let the pain inside get to me Before I stopped believing I could be free Time and time again I try to pretend I can make it through and so I never bend Hard to break, it's true, bad habits never end, just another tool designed to work and spend I tear you apart, limb from limb, I tear you apart, limb from limb I tear you apart, limb from limb, when he goes down, everybody jump in Destroy what remains of him, destroy what remains of him Destroy what remains of him, going down, he ain't getting up again Don't think I'm gonna see you back here Don't think I'll see you back here Don't think I'll see you back here What was I thinking? Before I lost my mind to the outrage Before I lost my mind in the rat cage Before I let the pain inside get to me Before I stopped believing I could be free Time and time again I try to pretend I can make it through and so I never bend Hard to break, it's true, bad habits never end, just another tool designed to work and spend They tell me lies. Broken inside. Don't act surprised. They tell me lies All those things that you did, still think I'm gonna believe you? The things you did in the end, still think I'm gonna believe you?

I paid time to stay away But he didn't do the job, and now I can't stay I can't say another word until you come down off that pedestal I stopped what I was doing to take part in your world Tell me was it all that you thought it would be? Was it all that you thought you would see? Were you all that you thought you could be? In some slick plastic wrapping Still I hear you say Just a little more, give me just a little more Still I hear you say Just a little more. And this all goes away Trust me...you'll be rich! Just not today Tempted, aw it's such a sweet dream Not exempted from the call of mainstream, does it define you? Stretched inside until I forget what the plan was I can't even remember my name Tell me was it all that you thought it would be? Was it all that you thought you would see? Were you all that you thought you could be? In some slick plastic wrapping Still I hear you say Just a little more, give me just a little more Still I hear you say Just a little more.... Finally I've had enough, this is the end for me I'm walking away from this game Can't get away it always sucks me back it always brings me back, it always takes me back Can't get away, can't get away, can't get away Still here today Was it all that you thought it would be? Was it all that you thought you would see? Were you all that you thought you could be? In some slick plastic wrapping Still I hear you say Just a little more, give me just a little more Still I hear you say Suction...

Your pacified! Cash in your ethics, a paycheck drawn from your soul Fat profit margins keep you on the payroll You cast your vote with the tides of finance Now you buy laws in the bylaws, forgive yourself to circumstance We only hunger for what we were promised man A little piece of the American dream thats the plan But you keep making the rules for the few with the cash Slave to the greenback, you yes men have no class No Class! Head up your ass! You know.. You don't dream of freedom now Head up showpiece for the cash cow Bury your head in the sand All I see is greed. No master plan Alright, we only hunger for what we were promised man A little piece of the American dream thats the plan But you keep making the rules for the few with the cash Slave to the greenback, you yes men have no class No Class! Head up your ass! You know.. It's always the same...show no restraint...did it again... Oh why can't you play for more than the content of your wallet? You don't dream of freedom now Head up showpiece for the cash cow Bury your head in the sand All I see is greed. No master plan Oh no...thats giving a little too much credit I think Close their eyes, they can't sleep a wink, feel their conscience shrink You know you don't dream of freedom now Head up showpiece for the cash cow Bury your head in the sand All I see is greed. No master plan

You better get it right... The red eye of the dragon watch me Just like a wagon wheel, round like a heads up feel You slip, drop, and you kneel down We go falling, falling to our knees Don't get up, or he'll disembowel you with greatest ease Oh no, not again, I can't be the one. And it's all the same mistake But we get so irate Brown like an iron plate rusted Just for one virtues sake So I gotta get up, feel a part of the machinery Feel the soul clenched, vised in misery Take a pill to be part of the society Paid half price for the free labatomy Tell me which way I can find god? I've got some questions and don't like the odds Oh no, my mistake. Just another one On no, not again, I can't be the one And I have to say, we've gone about this thing the wrong way Now the blood from freedoms veins is spilled upon you Think you better rise up Get up, you can't stay on your knees Times up, say what you mean don't shelter me Rise up, get just where you want to be Find such, that makes you content just to be You can't just sit tight impatiently Waiting for the world to be what you want it to be Got to take the first step immediately and do for yourself what sets you free

Slave Cage 06:01
lyrics

Your head so high. I wonder why? Announce your ignorance, in poverty, cause I don't try? Wealth is your cage. Ours as wage slaves The dollar from your hand becomes my begrudge pay No I can't find, a cast-less life. Everywhere its the same division Again and again, theirs us, and theirs them I can't abide an arbitrary life. Angry inside. Don't want to hide. And I will no longer accept this divided life. Stale minds, trail behind. Fearful, blind, wasting time. Wasting time... Time to sieze the day. How long did you think this could last anyway? Threats just fade away, cause we don't bother with the replay Take it all the way, till this sword is stained with your blood Don't think you can stay so complacent in your static world Cause we'll drop it down Break the system into pieces, add a can of melted Jesus, Chop up all the well-to-do and place them in the boiling brew Add a touch of politician, spoiled by his own admission Feed the mix into the mouths of all that had to do without Where is your compassion? Gone away You better get with the resistance, we have a place for you You better get with the resistance, here's what we're gonna do So now you shut your mouth and listen up you got to think fast and wisen up You know its time to change, arrange, estrange, the bullshit thats been going on for far too long to its strange to think I used to want to be part of your empire, now all that I harbor is desire to set fire To the system, burn it down, go for broke, cause it's all gotta change or its going up in smoke Now listen when I say, all of this matters every day Now its time to pay, but I guess thats what you do best anyway Tell me if your scared, fight or flight is in effect now Don't think you can stay so complacent in your static world, cause we'll drop it down.

Turn It Off 03:58

Watch out watch out Head down head down I can't see in the dark can you? I can't see at all... A short walk down a well known road A place you feel you've always known You stumble in always just in time Always hit your head right where I hit mine Watch out watch out Head down head down I can't see in the dark can you? I can't see at all... My heads not a playground Why must you manipulate My minds not a toy I get what I need from my own choice Stand back, step off, back down Or we'll get it on Always a choice, don't always choose the ray gun Sedates your voice, you're a pop culture icon Become what you fear if you use it for a mirror Doesn't become you to reflect their fear Think you better watch out, watch out Head down, head down I can't see in the dark can you? I can't see at all... My heads not a playground Why must you manipulate My minds not a toy I get what I need from my own choice Stand back, step off, back down Or we'll get it on Can't get it back, what you give to them Can't get it back, so just turn it off All wasted time just becomes the past Won't be till your old you learn they ripped you off

about

A sociopolitical wrath storm that invokes the very ethos of the modern dysfunctional nation. Then it grabs it by the throat and punches it in the face...hard. Lyrically imaginative and compelling, this epic record cracks down on banal media, commercialism, and all the things that contribute to why the 99% are outraged by the 1%. Yeah...you know what we're talking about.
