Money

Money makes the world go round or so that's what they say
But no one pays the sun to turn the night back into day
And all the plants and animals don't know the value of a dollar
And so this man made symbol adds to a world that's so unnatural
People no longer worship gods, they now worship federal notes
Putting all their faith and trust in corporation cut-throats
They work like slaves everyday so their bosses can get rich
Then they turn around and spend the little that they make on useless shit
Money is the root of all evil
Money is the shackle of the new slave owner
Money is the root of all evil
Don't let it get you, you've gotta break free
Each bill is imprinted with four words I can't believe
"In god we trust" is bullshit and freedom will never ring
The dollar bill is nothing but it tends to rule our lives
Each bill is just a link in the shackles of our pride
Money makes the world go round or so that's what they say
But no one pays the sun to turn the night back into day
And all the plants and animals don't know the value of a dollar
And so this man made symbol adds to a world that's so unnatural

Material Takeover
02:12
|
|||
They trained us to work so we can make money
We have to make money so we can buy their stuff
But their stuff is so useless, we don't really need it
But they have us convinced that we can't live without it
They're taking over, little by little
They're taking over, one by one
They're taking over, little by little
They're taking over, our time has come
We buy these things that tell us what to do
The TV the radio, they've both brainwashed you
They're tools for the media to tell us what to buy
The bigger, the better, the more we must have it
They're taking over...
These machines that we work for are ruining our lives
We take better care of them than we do our own child
We're slaves to these objects that we've made ourselves
Cars and computers are the Pharaohs of the new age
They're taking over...

Desensitized
03:04
|
|||
On the TV, the movies, the video games
There's only one thing that's always the same
Beat 'em up, shoot 'em up, kill 'em all
Violence is nothing new to this world
Children are not taught to value life
They're desensitized by the violence around them
Children's shows and cartoons teach only one thing
If you don't like someone KILL KILL KILL
There's handguns in our homes and violence in our streets
That's why the children are killing each other
They're raised by the TV and video games
That's why the children are killing each other
They're left home alone with no supervision
That's why the children are killing each other
They're taught to suppress their hatred and their anger
That's why the children are killing each other
Every single day on the 10 o'clock new
Someone's being convicted of murder
Tom and Jerry's caught in a feud
Their only answer is to blow up each other
Dad teaches his son to be a 'real' man
"Son, let's go hunting and KILL all the animals"
For his Birthday and Xmas, what does Johnny want?
A new GI Joe and a black water pistol
There's handguns in our homes and violence in our streets
That's why the children are killing each other
They're raised by the TV and video games
That's why the children are killing each other
They're left home alone with no supervision
That's why the children are killing each other
They're taught to suppress their hatred and their anger
That's why the children are killing each other

White Lies
03:10
|

Racial tendencies and racial abuse
Crimes of hate, there's no excuse
In your eyes it all seems correct
And I won't be happy till my hands' around your neck
Because of you, I'm not free
Don't expect my sympathy
What is it you cannot see?
Because of you, I'm not free
Help the movement, destroy all the pride
Stop all the killing, the violence and the lies
Their racist writings in incite all their actions
But when they attack they'll see our reactions
Because of you, I'm not free
Don't expect my sympathy
What is it you cannot see?
Because of you, I'm not free
Racist politicians, racist police
Abuse their power with their racist beliefs
We see it in religion and we see it in the schools
Institutionalized hate now seems to rule
Because of you, I'm not free
Don't expect my sympathy
What is it you cannot see?
Because of you, I'm not free

Learn About Their Lies
02:38
|
|||
Everyday we go to school and learn about their golden rule
They fill us with their bullshit lies and brainwash us to think they're right
In history they tell us stories of all their wars and all their glories
They tell us that our country's best but never tell us all the rest
Don't fall for their shit, don't believe in their lies
Wake the fuck up and open your eyes
They never tell you the whole damn truth
You've got to read between the lines
You only hear what they tell you
They're suppressing your fucking mind
Don't sit there and take it in
Question them and dish it out
You can only teach yourself
Don't trust them to feed your mind

Always Getting Ready
03:11
|
|||
In grammar school they taught you to always think about the future
As they trained you how to memorize to get good grades in high school
And when you got to high school, they taught you skills for college
For you to be successful they need to brainwash you with garbage
When you got to college, they trained you for your life
And there you chose your career and probably chose your wife
Now your in an office, stuck behind a desk
You're making lots of money but your boring like the rest
Always getting ready... getting ready for what
Each day's like the other, as time just passes by
Your not really happy but you're too numb to know why
You work for your boss, just to pay the bills
You try to fill the void by investing in cheap thrills
Now your old and cripple and you've never seen the world
You've wasted your whole life away getting ready like you were told
It's too late to turn back, 'cause you're about to die
Your whole life has been wasted and now you're asking why!?!??!

Both Human
04:15
|
|||
We are both human and we breath the same air
We are both valued in this world that we share
Together we make children, we must have each other
The world needs a mother and the world needs a father
Men should not be dominant nor should they demand control
Because women are their mothers, daughters, sisters to behold
He should not abuse her, nor strip her of her rights
Just because she's smaller and cannot put up a fight
Let me be a woman without having to be afraid
Let me hold my head up high, and not down like a slave
I have strength of mind and heart, greater than your brawn
You can beat me into submission but my soul cannot be torn
Love your mother and your sister, be proud to bare a daughter
Treat men and women with respect 'cause neither's better than the other
Love is something that you share, not something that you take
A man should never violate, nor woman falsely cry out rape
Let me be a man without having to be a brute
Let me hold you in my arms to care for you and comfort you
I may be strong of body but I too have a heart and soul
Love me like a brother and don't treat me like a foe

Forever in Dissent
03:20
|
|||
I will not be blinded or shielded from the truth
The pain is too much to bare, my rage is the proof
I will not be silenced, cast into conformity
To stand in line with the silent majority
Forever, in dissent
Forever, resistant
You just stand and watch the crimes they commit
Led by your blindness, you only see a silhouette
You just act shocked, when all is exposed
Doesn't the truth hurt when lies are all you know
Forever...
