everything you do
drags you down deeper
every time you try
you get it all wrong
every one you know
you push them far away
and nothing ever goes your way
the harder you try, the more you seem to die a little inside
its never easy living on pride
its never easy being who you want to be
its never easy fitting in naturally
every time you love
you fuck it all up
every time you hate
you start the cycle again
everything you owned,
you've thrown it all away
and nothing ever goes your way

Everyone
03:40
|

everyone living beyond their means
too many hopes and sunken dreams
too many animals pretending to be human
everyone fighting for the next big thing
doing their best to fit right in
doing their best to be part of the system
everyone.. is fighting
everyone.. is trying
everyone.. is crying
everyone.. is dying right now
everyone indulging in tit for tat
too many people subscribe to that
too many people living in a state of envy
everyone fighting for a bit of control
too many people with jet black souls
everyone scrabbling for a little piece of something
everyone's got too much on their plate
no one ever tries to communicate
no one has the time for each other
everyone concerned with what they can get
putting down people they've never ever met
going through life with perfect tunnel vision

Sixty Eight
03:10
|
|||
we keep searching for a better life than this
something that gives us hope
hard to push aside the myths
hard to refuse the dope
life seems so easy
nothings ever easy when you're constantly held right back
scream as much as you want
no ones listening now
fight as much as you want
no one cares right now
take as much as you want
fuck their law right now
burn those fuckers down
burn them down right now
they say it's not about class
how many times have you seen them on their arse?
how many times have those fuckers ever had to starve
they take care of their own
don't you think it's about time we did the same ?
isn't it time to play them at their game ?
things wont change on their own
gonna take a lot of pushing from us all
sacrifice and death to see the system fall
we have the strength inside
gotta band together and never ever let them divide
gotta band together and never ever let them divide

A Matter of Perspective
03:58
|
|||
is it six or nine
depends where your standing
depends what you want to see
one mans terrorist
is another ones freedom fighter
another mans god
is the devil in disguise
one mans hero, is anothers enemy
one mans enemy, is anothers saint
saint or sinner, it's a matter of perspective
where one man loves, another one hates
is it brown or beige
depends on how you see it
one mans rubbish
is another mans gold
half full or empty
depends on your outlook
cold or hot
normal or insane

THAT NIGHT
03:38
|

That night
That night, I almost lost my life
That night, I almost lost my life
Stuck the needle in deep and gently closed my eyes
My love, was in a ball right on the floor
My love, wasn't moving anymore
Skin so blue like a fetus on the floor
I awoke after 40 minutes time
That tar, was so damn fucking fine
And then I saw the horror of my crime
So scared, I dragged her to her feet
In death, she looked so fucking sweet
And a single tear cascaded down my cheek
That demon, that took away my girl
That needle took her soul right from this world
Condemned myself to a life of living hell

been staring at the TV for 24 hours
i still haven't learned a single fucking thing
sycophants and puppets
gotta cast them all out now
the politicians, the bankers the greedy rich parasites
gotta cast them all out now
the privileged the soulless fucking hipsters
gotta cast them all out now
the boys in blue, puppets of the oppressors
gotta cast them all out now
time to think outside the box
we're all gonna die anyway
time to stop pretending that we're happy
we're all gonna die anyway
time to take a little risk
we're all gonna die anyway
time to handle our own futures
we're all gonna die anyway
i tried to watch the news
what a fucking joke
a party political broadcast for the ruling elite
gotta use our minds right now
no more letting TV do the thinking
gotta use our minds right now
cast out the methadone metronome
gotta use our minds right now
no more pieces of shit tabloids unfit to wipe your arse
gotta use our minds right now
fuck the bbc and its fairy tale it dares to call news
gotta use our minds right now
time to think outside the box
we're all gonna die anyway
time to stop pretending that we're happy
we're all gonna die anyway
time to take a little risk
we're all gonna die anyway
time to handle our own futures
we're all gonna die anyway
gotta lead our lives right now
time to do things for ourselves for a change, fuck systems and laws
gotta lead our lives right now
time to control our own destiny, not leave it in the hands of some festering blue blood
gotta lead our lives right now
lest we eternally be in servitude to their limitless greed
gotta lead our lives right now
time to think outside the box
we're all gonna die anyway
time to stop pretending that we're happy
we're all gonna die anyway
time to take a little risk
we're all gonna die anyway
time to handle our own futures
we're all gonna die anyway
got to let them know we're no longer asleep
the blinkers are off
our eyes are open
we no longer obey
gotta play them at their game
use their system, their rules and technology against them
gotta play them at their game
worm our way from the inside and spread like a plague
gotta play them at their game
learn from them, know them, destroy them piece by piece
gotta play them at their game
time to think outside the box
we're all gonna die anyway
time to stop pretending that we're happy
we're all gonna die anyway
time to take a little risk
we're all gonna die anyway
time to handle our own futures
we're all gonna die anyway

A LITTLE BIT OF KARMA
02:45
|
|||
I've given everything i can,I've given everything that i ever really wanted to give to you
every little inch of darkness and light that got us through
all the circumstances, all the brief romances doomed
a little bit of karma to see the melodrama through
maybe I'm a different man
being every single thing that I've ever thought against
believing the lie that I'm making some kind of difference
subscribing to a system that I'm born to hate and fight against
little bit of karma to see the melodrama through
everything is different to me
nothing is familiar don't even recognise myself
spiralling down a cycle of negative thoughts
travelling round to get a grip on reality

Self obsessed
03:44
|
|||
everything seems to be going wrong nowadays
everyone wants something for nothing
everyone wants a piece of the action
no one wants to work for it
no one wants to do their bit
we're so self obsessed
so much stress
to be better than the rest
so self obsessed
everyone wants something for nothing
everyone wants everything their way
no one wants to work
no one wants to try
no one wants to give anything to anyone else
no one wants to work with each other
no one wants to help their friends
no one wants to help anybody but themselves
everyone thinking of how much they can get
spending so much time trying to get one over on each other
spending so much time come out of things better off than everyone else

Battles to fight
03:07
|
|||
turn your violence towards yourself
having your say but nobodies listening now
their silence speaks for itself
when you do things your way, you'll always be alone
everyone's got their own battles to fight
no body else can make a difference
take your viewpoint no one cares
your opinion is the last thing on our minds
keep your outdated morals firmly in the past
every person has there own battles to fight
everyone's got their own battles to fight
no body else can make a difference
in this age of self obsession
there's not many people left who really want to know
in this world of narcissism
there's only one way that things are gonna go
everyone's got their own battles to fight
no body else can make a difference

two sides of the same coin
fighting non the less
over which one is right
over which one is best
any excuse to keep on fighting
any excuse to hate on sight
my god is bigger than your god, my book tells the truth, not yours
my verse speaks the word of angels, the devil is hidden within yours
my land is my holy birthright, your land contains what we want
my church is holier than your church, yours is a temple of doom
my life is purer than your life, i can see well be fighting real soon
Protestant or catholic
Muslim or Jew
any excuse to segregate
any excuse will do
their books are the same with a different name
my god is bigger than your god, my book tells the truth, not yours
my verse speaks the word of angels, the devil is hidden within yours
my land is my holy birthright, your land contains what we want
my church is holier than your church, yours is a temple of doom
my life is purer than your life, i can see well be fighting real soon
scriptures and prophets
or lies and fakes
anything to separate
anything to hate
anything to separate and hate
my god is bigger than your god, my book tells the truth, not yours
my verse speaks the word of angels, the devil is hidden within yours
my land is my holy birthright, your land contains what we want
my church is holier than your church, yours is a temple of doom
my life is purer than your life, i can see well be fighting real soon

They say jump
03:32
|
|||
you'll never be
allowed to live the way you want
as long as they have an inch of control
they say jump, we say how high
it'll always be the same, we'll always play their games
we'll never do
what we set out to do
as long as they have a say in our lives
they say jump, we say how high
it'll always be the same, we'll always play their games

Sucked us all dry
04:16
|
|||
they've taken everything,
taken everything
taken everything we've got, all of our futures
taken our friends and family
taken our beliefs, every single day
taken our love, taken our life
taken our happiness, taken our feelings
taken everything we've got
everything we've got
i say fuck em
every little trick they use to control us all
i say fuck em
every little thing that means something to them
i say fuck em
every little trick they use to control us all
sucked us all dry,
they've sucked us all dry
drained every little drop, there's nothing left
taken our ideas, our creativity
now we're a shadow of what we used to be
they've taken our passion, drained us dry
a life of servitude until the day we die
the day we die
