Turncoat

TURNCOAT! KILLER! LIAR! THIEF!
Criminal with protection of the law!

Go!

States lies dressed up as evening news
We're tired of lies we want the truth
Brodcast by corpses courting you
We're tired of lies we want the truth
Most people they will never know
We're tired of lies we want the truth
With your or against you?
Then I am against you because you're a...

TURNCOAT! KILLER! LIAR! THIEF!

Civil servants fall in line for you
Too brainwashed to see the truth
You use anyone you can!

TURNCOAT! KILLER! LIAR! THIEF!
Criminal with protection of the law

Rank-N-File

I'm standing with the rank-n-file,
I'm marching with the underground,
Our black hearts worn on our sleeves!

Let my imagination go and drop me where i feel most scared.
Snap back already giving thanks, i'm not trapped working in a sweatshop somewhere.
This songs for those less fortunate, locked in a world where both ends aren't meant to meet.

I'm standing with the rank-n-file,
I'm marching with the underground,
our black hearts worn on our sleeves.
I'm standing with the rank-n-file,
I'm marching with the underground,
our black hearts worn on our sleeves!

Let my imagination go and drop me where i feel most scared.
Synaptic flashes in my head then total thanks again, I'm not soldiering somewhere.
This songs for the countless souls, who died in vain for someone else's gain.

I'm standing with the rank-n-file,
I'm marching with the underground,
our black hearts worn on our sleeves.
I'm standing with the rank-n-file,
I'm marching with the underground,
our black hearts worn on our sleeves.

Left my birthplace for forgeign streets to strange places, new faces i flew.
Shoeless kids stood on the corner, their eyes they were transfixed on you.

So i'm standing with the rank-n-file,
I'm marching with the underground,
ohhh my black heart worn on my sleeve.
I'm standing with the rank-n-file,
I'm marching with the underground,
with our black hearts worn on our sleeves, ALRIGHT!

I'm standing with the rank-n-file,
I'm marching with the underground,
our black hearts worn on our sleeves.
I'm standing with the rank-n-file,
I'm marching with the underground,
our black hearts worn on our sleeves.

I'm standing with the rank-n-file,
I'm marching with the underground,
our black hearts worn on our sleeves.
I'm standing with the rank-n-file,
I'm marching with the underground,
our black hearts worn on our sleeves

Post-War Breakout

BREAKOUT!
So we breakout!

I'm a post-war breakout (Post-war breakout!)
And a post-war breakdown (Breakdown! Breakdown!)
I'm a post-war syndrome (Post-war syndrome!)
And a post-war hero (Yeah, yeah, yeah :/ )

Just a post-war nerve case
In a pro-war age
And a post-war history face.

I've got a medal, I'm a hero (BREAKOUT!)
I've got an ID, I've got an ego (BREAKDOWN!)
I've got pocketbook, no dough (NO DOLLARS, NO!)
Just a post-war shockjob!

I'm an evil-minded breakdown
I'm a vulgar, thinking crackdown
I'm a NON-COMMIE DRIFTER
I'm an ex-GI for sure, oh sure
Just a post-war nerve case, in a pro-war age
And a post-war history face..let's face our history..NOW!!

I've got a medal, I'm a hero (BREAKOUT!)
I've got an ID, I've got an ego (BREAKDOWN!)
I've got pocketbook, no dough (NO DOLLARS, NO!)
Just a post-war shockjob!

Just a post-war shockjob!
Just a post-war shockjob!
Just a post-war shockjob!

Post-war breakout!
BREAKOUT!
So we breakout

Power To The Peaceful

Sons and daughters of a dream
the urge to struggle for an ideal
to stay and fight
oppose war fever
refuse to kill or be killed
there's voices calling in the wind and they sing
"POWER TO THE PEACEFUL"
with a readiness for war
they come down hard in dissent of all forms
blood and militarism has swept the country by storm
there's voices calling in the wind
"POWER TO THE PEACEFUL"
THIS IS NOT A WAR
of the urging people
THIS IS NOT A WAR
of economic independance
it is a war of conquest
its a war for military power
ITS A WAR FOR MONEY
THE ROAD TO UNIVERSAL SLAUGHTER
check this out
there's repression and intolerance
on any deviation from the norm
in all factions of your life
at this time of entry
into war say HEY-HEY
if you know what they sing say HEY-HEY
if you know what they sing say HEY-HEY
if you know what they sing say HEY-HEY-HEY
POWER TO THE PEACEFUL-WHOA-OH

Mind The G.A.T.T.

A brand new history
Slyly and quickly
Sparkles in your eyes
Hope your not missing
The flash points/sign posts
Etching the future
From here

Ancient ancestors transmitting via pool formed from rainfall
Where my reflection stares back at me and says
As the sun sets bright over ancient earth and disappears from view
The spirit of the world will rise up from the dis again
Our voices sing in union
Lifless, soulless, secret abyss
Plotting the worlds doom
Production and consumption wakes the sleeping world to sing again
Our voices sing in union

From african coasts to australian mainland
Watch your brothers back, watch your sisters back
From the american plains to the sea of japan
Watch your brothers back, watch your sisters back
In your own backyard, or far off foreign lands
We find our adversaries woven of the same thread

As evil hacks and rips at every corner of the world
The peoples voice will sing as one voice
Our voices sing in union
To implement a Paul Hawken-Esque model for the world
The people voice will sing as one voice
Our voices sing in union

The Arabian sea to the coast of chile
Watch your brothers back, watch your sisters back
The plateau of tibet to the bay of biscay
Watch your brothers back, watch your sisters back
In your own backyard, or far off foreign lands
We find our adversaries woven of the same thread

Rethink... Fucking dig in!

Don't sit by and take it!
They built it we can break it!
We're not gonna stand for any G.A. double T's!!!

Don't sit by and take it!
They built it we can break it!
We're not gonna stand for any G.A. double T's!!!

Don't sit by and take it!
They built it we can break it!
We're not gonna stand for any G.A. double T's!!!

Don't sit by and take it!
They built it we can break it!
We're not gonna stand for any G.A. double T's!!!

You Can Kill The Protestor, But You Can't Kill The Protest

You can spoon my eyes out,
but I can still see through you
Slice my ears from my head,
but you can not shut out the sounds of truth
Lock off each hand at the wrist
so I can't raise my fist!

you can kill the protestor (can't kill)
you can't kill the protest
you can murder the rebel (murder)
you can't murder the rebellion

Sawed my feet at the ankles, but i wasnt going to run
Grabbed my face, sliced off my tongue
Lock off each hand at the wrist,
so I can't raise my fist!

you can kill the protestor (can't kill)
you can't kill the protest
you can murder the rebel (murder)
you can't murder the rebellion

LYING STILL NOW, NO WAY TO SPEAK. NOTHING TO FEAR, BULLETS CAN'T SILENCE IDEAS!

When You Don't Control Your Government People Want To Kill You

BOOM BOOM BOOM!

America blown to smithereens.
Your friends, your home, your life your family.

BOOM BOOM BOOM!

Smithereens. I wish i could say this was unforseen.

Well, they're planting the seeds on destruction's eve.
Then take away your rights to keep you free.
Yeah they're planting the seeds on destruction's eve.
Then take away your rights to keep you free
on your knees still the vengeance of the world
will target you! DOWN ON YOU? DOWN ON YOOOOOOOOU?!!!

Our flesh turned to ash will scatter in the wind.

BOOM BOOM BOOM!

Such a wicked force you had never seen though countless times it took place in your name.

BOOM BOOM BOOM!

Your apathy comes with a price tag after all it seems.

Well, they're planting the seeds on destruction's eve.
Then take away your rights to keep you free.
Yeah they're planting the seeds on destruction's eve.
Then take away your rights to keep you free
on your knees still the vengeance of the world
will TARGET YO000000000000000U!!!

When you don't control your own government people want to kill you
People want to kill you
People want to kill you
(Can't you see that people want to kill you)
When you don't control your own government people want to kill you
People want to kill you

Wake Up!

If i had a lighter in hands
With some oily rags
Is that what it'd take
To wake you from your sleep?
Wake up from your American dreams
To be surrounded
Surrounded in flames!

You got to SCREAM
TO MAKE OUR VOICE HEARD!
I WONT STOP SCREAMING
TILL MINE IS HEARD!
Wake Up!
Wake Up!
To the world around you
Wake Up!
Wake Up!
To the world around you
Wake Up!
Wake Up!
To the world around you
Wake Up!
Wake Up!

YEAH!

And if we blocked the streets
Everyday
Face down on the pavement
As we lay
You're angered
Cos you're five minutes late.
What happens next time
When we will stop you all day?
Yeah, next time
When we will stop you all day?

You got to SCREAM
TO MAKE OUR VOICE HEARD!
I WON'T STOP SCREAMING
TILL MINE IS HEARD!
Wake Up!
Wake Up!
To the world around you
Wake Up!
Wake Up!
To the world around you
Wake Up!
Wake Up!
To the world around you
Wake Up!
Wake Up!
To the world around you

and it's the same song, sung
Sung at the top of our lungs
SCREAMING FOR FREEDOM
PLEADING FOR LIBERTY
SCREAMING FOR FREEDOM
PLEADING FOR LIBERTY
SCREAMING FOR FREEDOM
PLEADING FOR LIBERTY
FREEDOM!

Tearing Down The Borders

No one flag flies over the multi-national company.
No allegiance to the board's homeland, fellow citizens, the flag born of their country.
As the brainwashed nationalists move,
To shed their blood on battle fields.
War profiteering rich watch their stocks reap high yields.

We're tearing down the borders!
We're fighting for the rights of freedom!
Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh.
We're tearing down the borders!
We're fighting for the rights of freedom!
Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh.

GO!

No patriotic pledge from multi-national companies.
Only a commitment to lock away equality and steal away all freedom from the poorest of the poor.
So that the boardroom can insure
their stockholders profits are higher in return.

We're tearing down the borders!
We're fighting for the rights of freedom!
Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh.
We're tearing down the borders!
We're fighting for the rights of freedom!
Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh.

It's our world.
Let's take it back!
Let's set ourselves free oh woah oh.
It's our world.
Let's take it back!
Let's set ourselves free oh woah oh.
It's our world.
We want it back!
Let's set ourselves free oh woah oh.
It's your world.
Take your world back!

Take it, fucking back.

There's a call
A ringing sound
Around the globe
Its gaining ground
We're tearing down the borders, oh oh.

There's a voice in your heart
It beckons you to do your part
We're tearing down the borders, oh oh!

The line is drawn
In the sand
On one side your a slave
The other a free man
We're tearing down the borders, oh oh!
There's a call
Freedom's sound
Around the globe
Its gaining ground!
We're tearing down the border
We're tearing down the border
We're tearing down the borders, WOAH!

Death Of A Nation

When all you need was a little motivation
They pointed fingers and yelled dead generation
When all you need was a little care
All you got was an old white hair blank stare
Have you ever needed an ounce of love
And all you got was a whole lot of fucked

[Chorus:]
So say your prayers
It's the death of a nation
Say your prayers
For the dead generation

Condescending broad generalizations
Get real old real fast
Just because most hippies and their parents have sold out
Does not mean that you (Yeah, you!), your children (your children!) and their kids wont last...

[Chorus]

Agressivness is godliness
Combativness is holiness
Destructiveness is faithfullness
Deadliness is devoutness
Praying to a god that they created
And know damn well does not exist...
We find them on their knees
