3rd World War

We'll come home when the battle's over
We'll come home with clothes all drenched in blood
This is the life we chose
This is how the story goes
For those who fight in the 3rd world war
It's us against the world today
You know, could go on forever
(Forever)
Pollute our minds with what they say
You gotta run alone but I know it ain't so
(Ain't so)
We can have it our own way
But we gotta learn to work together
(Together)
I see them capitalizing on other peoples woes
I see them on the streets and everywhere I go
We'll come home when the battle's over
We'll come home with clothes all drenched in blood
This is the life we chose
This is how the story goes
For those who fight in the 3rd world war
You try to understand everything we say
You try to analyze everything we do
Ask me what it is that we're fighting for
It's for freedom that we fight the 3rd world war
Living in the world today
I see that things could be much better
(Better)
But I'm never gonna give up
Not gonna lay my head down, no never
(Never)
You live your life for just one day
The faceless never remembered
(Remembered)
I see them capitalizing on other people's woes
I see them on the streets and everywhere I go
We'll come home when the battle's over
We'll come home with clothes all drenched in blood
This is the life we chose
This is how the story goes
For those who fight in the 3rd world war

what are you willing to fight?
are you afraid that you just might
find something that you're afraid of
and run away in fright
well i aint ganna take it anymore (what do you say?)
cause i know what youre fucking with me for (what do you say?)
you're trying to keep me down from seeing
whats beyond that door
the truth is not what you see (media control)
selling chaos on t.v. (media control)
the truth is not what you see (media control)
selling chaos on t.v.
but dont think you fooled me
you know the words but you cant sing the tune
1939 it all happened too soon
but you played it like you meant to lose
you tied your fate right in a noose
but if sanity is my t.v. (what do you say?)
than i dont know whats happened to me (what do you say?)
your lies are a billboard telling me
that i cant really see
the truth is not what you see (media control)
selling chaos on t.v. (media control)
the truth is not what you see (media control)
selling chaos on t.v.
but dont think you fooled me
i wont take to long to tell you all so long
i aint ever coming back
coming back
the truth is not what you see (media control)
selling chaos on t.v. (media control)
the truth is not what you see (media control)
selling chaos on t.v.
but dont think you fooled me
dont think you fooled me

Bored Teenager

This is a story of a bored teenager
Stuck inside a category line
He had to abide by all the time
Then one day this bored teenager
Got tired of always playing their game
They all want to look the same
But you want to stand out from the crowd
All you do is try, try, try
But you're not gonna get out this time
Get back in line
You're never gonna change the whole world
Get back in the line
Must have been a fool to think that things could change
Get back in line
Rock the ship and get thrown overboard
Get back in the line
Must've been a fool to think you could change the world
This is a story of a bored teenager
Cast outside by different frame of mind
By the shallow assemblage he left behind
Sooner or later his boredom turned to anger
Kicked in the face by his so called friends
A brutal cycle that never ends
But you want to stand out from the crowd
All you do is try, try, try
But you're not gonna get out this time
Get back in line
You're never gonna change the whole world
Get back in the line
Must have been a fool to think that things could change
Get back in line
Rock the ship and get thrown overboard
Get back in the line
Must've been a fool to think you could change the world
Stay in line, what for?
Stay in line, what for?
Stay in line, what for?
Stay in line, what for?
Stay in line, what for?
Stay in line, what for?
But you want to stand out from the crowd
All you do is try, try, try
But you're not gonna get out this time
Get back in line
You're never gonna change the whole world
Get back in the line
Must have been a fool to think that things could change
Get back in line
Rock the ship and get thrown overboard
Get back in the line
Must've been a fool to think you could change the world
Rock the ship and get thrown overboard

With his final chance at liberty
Prepared to meet his fate
To late for introductions
No longer will death wait
The way that things can change
In the brink of your demise
You never thought in all you're years
Your truth could tell you lies
Woah...
With the slightest sense of dignity
He left his world behind
Upon his deathbed
Uncertain what he'll find
A coward to his heart
A solider in his mind
Marching to the battlefield
To a war that has no time
Woah...
Trapped behind a wall of shame
No one can hear your cries
You find your actions similar
To the one's that you despise
Do the bottom of your boots
Have the blood of other men?
Or just the dirt from the streets
Of the city you live in?
Woah... yah!
You left your dreams to die
But they never seem to miss you
You'd love to tell me why
But dead men don't tell tales
Woah...

Red Alert

You're never gonna walk away from this
Nothings gonna save your life
But you're waiting for the real apocalypse
But you couldn't see the light
You find something to keep you satisfied
But not for as long as you'd like
So you find a vice to buy you some time
But you couldn't afford the price
Now you're in the same situation
That you were before you came
When it's all said and done
Will you still feel the same?
Red alert
Run and hide, you're under attack
We're in a state of alert
Red alert
You've made your bed now there's no turning back
We're in a state of...
You're living a lie, prepare to die
Times turnning out, it goes
Tick, tick, tick, tick gone
Now you've backed yourself into a corner
Now you got no place to go
You thought that you found a new world order
But disorders all you know
You've got plans for a revolution
But it's harder done than said
When you find out that it's just an illusion
You'd be better off dead
Now you're in the same situation
That you were before you came
When it's all said and done
Will you still feel the same?
Red alert
Run and hide, you're under attack
We're in a state of alert
Red alert
You've made your bed now there's no turning back
We're in a state of...
You're living a lie, prepare to die
Times turnning out, it goes
Tick, tick, tick, tick gone
Making allegations, complicating situations
You thought you made a name for yourself
But you're to blind to see
That you didn't change anything at all
Hide your head from the bed you made yourself
Red alert
Run and hide, you're under attack
We're in a state of alert
Red alert
You've made your bed now there's no turning back
We're in a state of...
You're living a lie, prepare to die
Times turnning out, it goes
Tick, tick, tick, tick gone
Bleeding heart, a dying soul
Staged as revolution
But your mind don't change
You still feel the same
Another false solution

My Defense
02:37

but of course i'll say nothing of the sort
don't let me have control of my art
honesty and an empty bank account
are my gun and hand full of rounds
but we've said it all along
the president was wrong
the only thing left is a hope that now is gone
and i want someone to say
that they'd listened to me
and if i learned one thing today
is that you'd probably sue me for honesty
the floor is open we'll be taking questions now
ask how to lose your mind i'll try to show you how
you left me tattered up and torn
you've been digging graves
since the day that you were born
but we're frightened and alone
a place that i call home
the way to my heart is a knife through the bone
and i want someone to say
that they'd listened to me
and if i learned one thing today
is that you'd probably sue me for honesty
the floor is open we'll be taking questions now
ask how to lose your mind i'll try to show you how
i've left me tattered up and torn
you've been digging graves
since the day that you were born
but we're frightened and alone
a place that i call home
the way to my heart is a knife through the bone
and i want someone to say
that they'd listened to me
and if i learned one thing today
is that you'd probably sue me for honesty

I remember it as if it was just the other day
born to booze, born to lose
we looked the other way
we were just stupid kids
that got caught up in the rush
until the day when we found out
you had had enough
another number
another life
another victim
another kid
falls to suicide
One Youth Down
another number
another life
another victim
another kid
falls to suicide
we were the punks, the proud and the few
that day you died you know a part of me died to
never thought those days would come to an end
but when the time comes my friend
we'll drink and dance again
another number
another life
another victim
another kid
falls to suicide
One Youth Down
another number
another life
another victim
another kid
falls to suicide
one youth down

Voice Box

I'm ready for waking up this time
Got the open ears and open mind
Got my voice box ready
But i don't know what it is i need
Ready for waking up this time
Got the open ears and open mind
Got my voice box ready
But i don't know what it is i need
Decided on no regrets this time
So give me strength and peace of mind
As i stand ready
Why is it i always have to fight to belong?
Am i right or am i wrong?
You're not alone
There's got to be a million people living just like you
So don't complain
I will try, but something isn't right
I'm ready for waking up this time
The future hasn't been defined
I've got this vision
And i think i fit in here somewhere
I've got this thing i'd like to try
So open up your narrow eyes
And see what's coming
I don't intend to stand here so polite for so long
Am i right or am i wrong?
You're not alone
There's got to be a million people living just like you
So don't complain
I will try, but something isn't right
Make a run for something you love
Join the club and find out who you're not
There's a place for everyone involved
That doesnt't include you
Make a run for something you love
Looking good until you find
You don't have any legs to call your own
I will fight to belong
Am i right or am i wrong?
You're not alone
There's got to be a million people living just like you
So don't complain
I will try, but something isn't right

victory is ours, it's time to claim our prize

history has shown only the strong will survive
only the proud will stay true
we have our cause and thats what we live by
its the only thing we've got to make it through
alright, lets go
this is what we say
we've got nowhere to go
this life is all we know
take what comes and carry on
we cant give up, woah oh
we've got nowhere to go
this life is all we know
these words that we live by
will keep us alive
keep us alive
keep us alive
day after day we struggle to survive
sometimes theres no place for us to go
we've got to take a stand and fight to stay alive
we have to make it on our own
we cant surrender now, we've come to far
working our hands to the bone
alright, lets go
this is what we say
we've got nowhere to go
this life is all we know
take what comes and carry on
we cant give up, woah oh
we've got nowhere to go

Head Shrink, Dead Shrink

look inside my head
tell me what you see
the truth is you see nothing
cause you don't know me
intelligent facade
i know you're just a fraud
you hunt down and feed on peoples insecurities
how many minds do you think you can control
you take diamonds and turn them to coal
head shrink, dead shrink
get your hands off of my mind
you think you set us free
making us deaf, dumb, and blind
your definition of freedoms much
different than mine
afraid of what we'll see
if you don't steal our soul
afraid of what we can we can do if we're
not under your control
you tell me not to say a word
i have a voice and it will be heard
head shrink, dead shrink
get your hands off of my mind
look inside my head
tell me what you see
the truth is you see nothing
cause you don't know me
afraid of what we'll see
if you don't steal our soul
afraid of what we can we can do if we're
not under your control
you tell me not to say a word
I have a voice and it will be heard
head shrink, dead shrink
get your hands off of my mind

These Streets

what is it he should do
what is it he should do
he's lived through each day
with out words to say
these empty pockets are nothing new
losing his mind
in this age and time
what is a boy to do?
walking these streets with no shoes on his feet
all he can do is lose
what to do...
too many words to say
too many words to say
so many people in this town
but there's no one around
these empty pockets are nothing new
losing his mind
in this age and time
what is a boy to do?
walking these streets with no shoes on his feet
all he can do is lose
what is it he should do
what is it he should do
he's lived through each day
with out words to say
these empty pockets are nothing new
losing his mind
in this age and time
what is a boy to do?
walking these streets with no shoes on his feet
all he can do is lose

Heroes By Choice
02:51
|

|
can you hear the silence now?
the sound of oblivion
mournful misfortune of the heroes
that we now have lost
recognition of their past glories
esteem that will never die
heroes by choice or
heroes by chance
motive secondary to outcome
buried inside an unmarked grave
no stone to tell us where they lay
so we pay our respect
in hope our memories wont fade
seen heroes rise, seen heroes fall
their mark cant be taken away
heroes by choice or
heroes by chance
motive secondary to outcome
one, two, three, four
