They come to rule, and not by chance
Aided by a bloodied lance No elections needed here Such things, mundane, are not their way A thousand rivals lying dead And their families starved, decayed No relief by foreign aid A poisoned dagger is their way Government by those who kill And then collect from UN tills They live on aid and ask for more When all it does is pay for way So carefree: Your killing spree I must be blind; I can't see Tell me, what is human life worth The skies cry bloody tears |

Find a maddened hypocritic holy man to heed
Hear only the words that you want to Deny that you are led by a psychotic need To destroy anything that offends you Pay the price of freedom Leave three thousand lying dead upon our streets Use our freedoms to strike at our core Rejoice in the results of your desperate killing spree Object when we react will all out war As warplanes fly above And tanks roll through your flattened homes You wonder how you could be so misled Hear survivors grieve And listen to the wounded moan Next time try a peaveful approach instead |

Across the globe hatreds stir the beast within
Another war for holy causes seems a sin Letting loose hate your book says to abhor I don't think your god approves of holy war All these religions they say don't kill But they've shed more blood and made more victims In a world led by god's bigoted fools An endless stream of martyrs charging to their doom So in seven days god created all things And on the eighth mna was killing in his name Tell the god what did you have in mind When you let man turn against his own kind Holy man or holy terror who can choose Saving souls by killing what a sad misuse The prophet's words are written now in blood red And all his flock are killing until they are dead Any injustice they have suffered is erased By the blood of hapless victims they have shed Led by those intent on hatred war and sin Justified by twisting holy words intent |

Taking in all I can see
I can't see what's ahead and I don't want to see what's lying behind No way out and no way to stay My reason is blind my reason is blind yeah Always claim the road revenge But the cry for vengeance only seems to lead to spilling more blood Who can say how it began What really counts is that nobody can say how it will end You live in hell - you create hell I ask you why, you say - I don't know All your brooks they speak of peace But, murder and death seem to be the only things you want done Must be something out of Kafka's dreams A never ending cycle of blood Making men killing machines Whose only goal is to add to the rising body count You claim to kill in the name of god For a god of peace he seems to revel in the seasons of blood Never think about the end it is easier to hate than to live on in peace Unleashed a violent rage You don't seem to mind and you don't seem to need a good reason why Looking for someone to hate I see these lives I see to many lives wasted this way All your leaders they are the same Now one seeks peace not one seeks peace |

Don't do sports, can't get girls
It seems like such an unfair world My friends play online D&D We are the ones that people call geeks I'm going to sit here and whine I'm going to whine about how my life stinks I'm going to whine all day long I'm going to sit here and whine I'm going to whine about how my life stinks Would you like some cheese with that whine? We sit around, complain Whining away all our days Just don't like anything I'm just too anal-retentive I'm just an object of pity Why can't the world change to fit me Maybe I wouldn't be an outcast If I'd drop the attitude at last |

A nightmare rises from the holy places
Daring to sin against it's ways An evil impulse rises to the fore And deadly silence from those above Bow down on your knees Who is his man before us Predator of innocence Wrapped in the robes of the church Sick men destroying lives And silence from the prelates Shuffled from state to state Moving abomination Another proof your god is a dead word When it comes to those who claim to serve When suffering countenanced is the way What does it mean when bishops say amen Now the victims breaking their silence Bishops and Cardinals are keeping theirs Will money wash away all of the stains That these men have brought to Church's state |

Building wealth on the backs of the poor
Making deals is sleazy smoke rooms Politicians living feathered beds Turn around and tax us to our deaths We're living in a slave state The left and right working in tune Making sure they're the only two Sharing power corruption greed and wealth Keeping it all held tighly to their chests Children smuggling guns into their schools Teachers barred from enforcing any rules Liars causing racial conflict wars And the poor set firmly in their line |

You always talk about yourself in contradictions
Stuck in recking and verbal consciousness distinction Help yourself and try to rationalize The keys to change are held within your mind Back where we've started from lost in concentration You've got to stop and open up your eyes You tell me which side of the fight the guilt's on I'll tell you which side you'll find me on Tell me everything that's wrong with your life Is my fault because I'm white I don't buy into this assumed fault Of slavery's wrongs layed at my door Screw your lawsuits forty acres and your mule If you think I owe towards that you are such the fool Stop blaming everything on discrimination And take a long hard close look at yourself Waste your time playing blame the man games Get off your ass's and get yourself in the game This sin't racism at it's ugly worst It's asking what you've done to help yourself first |

A state of mind, mine is most unkind
Another here is sharing my space Locked within this same human skin Another voice is sharing my throat We are here stuck inside this head Taking turns wondering who is real This is not a future or a life Another day don't tell me it's a page When everyday the book is not the same My life a series of snapshots But never once is the order the same One voice here inside my head How long will it be the same Another lie made unto myself Play the game according to whose rules? Tell me you'll relieve me of my sins And leave me whole but not the same Taking one chosen from the rest Tell me how does he pass your test Fractured minds, relieve me of their pain What am I, don't leave us for the dead A state of mind I have more of these Don't say that I'm just a disease |

Welcome to the age of an American empire
Not a day will pass when bombs don't seem to fly Scream about the rights of victims and their pain But your actions are where the causes lay Don't like what we have done We're not the only ones Before you raise you rage Look closely at your past: Algeria and Vietnam Africa the Middle East English ships and the slave trade Now, tell me who's the beast European leaders wringing their own hands Set aside as powers in the Holy Land To Europe, we are lacking in sophistication Are we another little, shitty country? Don't like what we have done We're not the only ones Before you raise you rage Look closely at your past: Southeast Asia and India Aztec, Mayan, and Incan worlds Chinese hooked on opium Sacrificed for the old-world ways Belief in their empire covers them in cloth Forget their powers and morals, for the part History shows us this has always been our harm When we put up with this and the UN in charge Don't like what we have done We're not the only ones Before you raise you rage Look closely at your past: America, your enemy To heal, your leaders tell But for your own demands You need our power, as well |

You held my heart in your own hand when we first met
I can't believe I ever loved you Then I learned what you had done with my whole life I can't believe I ever loved you Now watch me go on my own way I didn't ever think to stop and wonder why All those times you couldn't meet me I never wanted to be the other man But that is just what you have made me Now match me go on my own way I don't think we'll meet another day You tried to sind your hooks in me After I thought I was over you Could it be the shattered memories of my dreams I can't deny I ever loved you But even blind men can see with their own hearts When betrayal opens their eyes Now match me go on my own way I don't think we will meet again |
