When will people realize When will people start to say that there’s nothing democratic about our democracy? Still they cast their votes Still they fly their flags Still there’s fucking people dying in the fucking strees I can’t believe they really think that we are free They eat up all the bullshit It’s all that we are left with Maybe if they weren’t so blind maybe they would see This star spangled nation is the furthest thing from free We won’t give in Fight back We won’t give up Revolution Now it’s time for us to revolt and take a stand There isn’t much compassion for people that don’t fall in line We can’t run away They can’t even look us in the eyes and see that we’ve Got the right to our own say Well I won’t listen to you We all know that’s bullshit The power they have all of it I don’t wanna be worthless and abused Anymore cause I’m poor this is fuckin all I know A future from them we may be owed but we gotta make a future for our own selves We gotta work together to make these things right Never back down never fall out from the fight Live a pointless life, give it all away No, it’s time to take it back they won’t control us anymore We’re gonna live you’re gonna die Break it down Break it down Break that fucking wall down

No Regrets 02:38
I see the only freedom I can find You look to see it but you know it’s blind Shut your eyes and shut your mouth trap it up don’t let it out Close off your mind Who are you to judge me? While you’re looking to see What the threat is from me Just remember I’m here because it’s mine You keep looking deeper now you know Your blind hatred for it starts to grow But it’s all gonna be too late, my way works for me And now where does it go? Who are you to judge me? I’m only gonna get one chance And through it all I hope it will last But I just can’t live with regret All die we’re all gonna die All the decisions that we have to make They form our lives just like the risks that we take These are the only things we really can own You need to live it now while you’re still alive because All die we’re all gonna die Now you hate me now you turn away So I guess there’s nothing left to say Live your life and I’ll live mine But we’ll soon be out of time It’s the price we pay Now we’re all dead
3.
All your life they fed you lies Your whole life in indecision Useless and fed up with tension Now you need to find a way Or sit in the dark and stay Complacent in the mediocre Life is just a game to see Which ones wind up in the alleys Or which ones will stomp on your dreams Now I will stand up and say It’s my life The problems just won’t go away It’s my life It’s not yours to fucking choose It’s my life I guess there’s nothing left to lose It’s my life All your life they fed you lies Tension, tension it keeps building Cheating what you thought was hate Bloodstains on the walls revive a feeling it might be too late First you saw her face Then it was all lost Your life was taken from you And now you still pay the cost
4.
Take a look at this scene What do you see Is it unity and freedom which we’re claiming to stand for Do we live up to the standards we’ve set for ourselves Or is it just another game of who knows who Fucking bullshit gossip and lies It makes me sick when egos hinder change in a scene where that’s the fucking goal Nothing’s ever gonna change Sick to see this scene go this direction Another social sect is all I can see Reject all this bullshit and drama Do my part to put it how I thought it should be It’s a sham the kids are left outside While you were spreading lies We fail to open eyes We gotta fucking stand for something Or we’ll put our backs to the wall We gotta shout and stand up tall This is our voice this is our chance To use what we got take our fucking stand and here’s our shot We can’t let it rot from the inside We are equal and we all count Well we gotta work together We try to be More than just a platform for your social scrutiny It will be a long road It won’t be easy to arrange But something’s gotta break cause it’s time for change

Broken Kids 01:52
Where do I want to go what do I want to learn? Where can I find a place that’s not been burned? What can I use to measure what I’ve earned? Hate and injustice are all that I see Can we justify a reaction where we fall to lies? Well no I’m not gonna die Not this Not this I won’t be bought or sold And I won’t trust the sharp end of the knife Not this Not this Crass corrupted corporate culture Fuck off cause I run my life Is it just a relationship Or a result of all the choices we make When we’re being judged? We’re not, I won’t Fall prey to life And I won’t throw it all away When I lose my stride Well we’re just working class kids Trying to find hope in a world That’s left us out in the cold We’re gonna do what we can To rise up and take a stand We won’t take the fall for you We’re not gonna change our aims And you’re not gonna get our names We have nothing but disdain for you I know I won’t win but I’ve got to try It means the fucking world to me
6.
Go Political 02:18
Go political Pretend they really care We fucking let them Promote religious laws We fucking let them Send the kids to war We fucking let them A million people dead We fucking let them Go Political We fucking let them
7.
Blind 02:00
We’ve been silent too long now it’s time we had our say It’s exploitation nothing less – It is what it is A banner of hope stained with our blood and sweat A flag for those making sure their message isn’t dead I don’t know how to feel when I look at you We’re all struck blind, what are we to do? Rebellion dies it’s no surprise all this hate and all these lies So just hide your head and cry when it is your time to die WE WON’T Be another power pawn for you EXPLOIT Us because we know it’s nothing new BREAK DOWN All your laws and throw it all away We’ve been silent too long now It’s time we had our say Striken blind By our braindead culture No surprise In the eulogy they wrote down All the lies It took for them to rape Us with our own words with our own invitation This is our life This is our voice It’s not your fucking product And it’s not your fucking choice We’ve been silten too long now we’ve got something to say It’s a sin against us all but there is no one left to pray The explanation given was enough to calm the crowd Well I can see the way home but that’s really not enough for me
8.
Rise Up 02:07
If I needed a meal to eat And I was stuck out in the street I would take what I could get What’s morality when you ain’t got shit? The people that got nothing And they get nothing back from society Do you really believe that they’re any worse than me or than you? And inside this society, we’re taught these people should stay unseen And because of your ignorance you close your eyes and keep your hands clean No one steals because of race Religion gender or ethnic creed Between the rich and poor there’s so much space Their crime stems from their poverty The reason there is so much space The injustice that class war creates You’re a soldier in this war Guarding status from the poor Form an army to survive This is just to stay alive The rich control but will control no more This is what we’re fighting for The people will have something We just need to work together Don’t sit around and be apathetic Don’t accept this bullshit brain dead culture The people will rise up
9.
Don't Care 02:19
Walking down the street Don’t know where I’m going And you know I just don’t care As the people pass by snap back to reality You know they fucking love to stare Well I ain’t gonna hear it and I ain’t gonna listen To anything that you say I’m gonna do what I want – I don’t give a shit I’m gonna live life my own way So spike your hair and fuck it up You only get one go at this Cause there’s nothing like beating the system Realize you’re not the culprit I got the squad I know who I trust And I know what I call home We’ve come a long way we got a long way to go We walk that lonely road With all this competition in this power hungry system Well I never could agree Do what you want but someday you’re gonna realize That a vote won’t make you free
10.
Entropy 02:38
Dead cities here – Dead cities there Dead cities fucking everywhere People starving in the streets Can’t even get enough to eat Do you even fucking care People dying everywhere It’s a slow form of decay The issues that we face today Does it all seem fair? Bombs are always in the air Send the poor to kill the poor What are we even fighting for A chance at something better than this For fucks that never gave a piss Making sure their profits grow Yet we’re always in the hole What the hell we fighting for? We don’t need them anymore What the hell we fighting for? Never ending class war Entropy – It is the fucking issue Ordered system die And that’s the fucking truth The less fortunate fade away It doesn’t have to be this way If you’d start to give a shit Put some energy into it What does it add up to? What more can we do? Keep reaching out Keep reaching out This is what it’s all about We can make a change right now We can make a change right now We can make a change right now
11.
I look around and what I see Is a bunch of people buying someone else’s dreams Well I won’t live that way I know what I want I know Their ideas of success won’t be running my life I may not turn out rich but I’m alright Don’t buy into it because it’s true They’ll known you down and beat you black and blue Cut you deep and take your life away Like a razor’s blade Drop their dreams and drop their plans Start living up to the demands Throw everything away and start living that American dream Do they even think? Well I don’t think they do Don’t buy into it because it’s true Spend your days living in fear Got your status got your career Your pretense is shit I don’t fucking want to hear it Do you even think? Well I don’t think you do Your kind make me sick please go away They have no concerns or cares for you Don’t believe their lies because it’s true You are just a number be aware Cause all those fucking bastards just don’t care

Is this the life you want to live? Are you gonna lose it now? You’ve got nothing left to give Well you better take a look at what it costs Cause time and self control aren’t the only things you’ve lost Well now I start to see just what you really are Who I knew is lost now and what is left is just a scar Well I’m not gonna be there to catch you when you fall My respect for you is dead You shot it in your arm Just don’t even look at me Time to choose Cause I just don’t wanna see Time to choose You better try now to clean this mess Time to choose Cause you’ve got a lot to lose and nothing to gain Time to choose It’s time to choose – It’s time to choose Are you gonna live your life or are you gonna fucking lose? Cause once you’re there there’s no way out You better look now cause it’s… TIME TO CHOOSE Time to choose It’s too hard to sit and be a part of this Time to choose It tears me up to watch I wish that you could see Time to choose Just what the fuck you’re doing to me Is this the life you want to life? Are you gonna lose it now? You’ve got nothing left to give Well you better take a look at what it costs Cause time and self control aren’t the only things you’ve lost I really hope you don’t turn away Cause I don’t want to lose you but I really just can’t stay So come down here – Cut yourself from the line But if you’re gonna use me like this… DON’T WASTE MY TIME
