I don't think everything turned out alright,
pull all your strings to keep the picture still,
they won't give up until they kill our will,
I don't think everything turned out alright,
they keep us occupied no time for revolutionary thoughts,
by keepin us chasin things that can be bought,
Nothings goin down nothin's goin down tonite!
something isn't right tonite
I don't think some will make it through the night,
a day will come we decide we've had enough,
no gods no masters we gave them up
I don't think some will make it through the night,
it started when I was born and it will continue until I die,
but we gotta fight back we gotta at least try,
cuz somethings goin down somethings goin down tonite!
everythings alright tonite

Numb Ourselves
04:59

Stripped these words of there meaning,
new beginnings all seem to end
wake up cold scared as hell, afraid to face the world again
take these pills for head so wish you weren't better off dead
whats wrong that we numb ourselves just to get by,
and we forget to ask the questions why
I don't know what the problem is,
But its flowing through me,
and it keeps me awake at night,
affects the lives that we lead,
I know what your thinkin, you've got a hold of me,
I know what you're thinkin but I'm not blind I can see
past the walls put in front of me on top of me
past what is thought that I should be who should I be
Cast in a mold put on a shelf on display for everyone to see
wake up cold scared as hell afraid to face the world again
Cuz nothing really matters, my dreams have been shattered on the wall
Whats wrong that numb ourselves from the world, so we forget that we're misunderstood
I don't know what the problem is,
But its flowing through me,
and it keeps me awake at night,
affects the lives that we lead,
I know what your thinkin, you've got a hold of me,
I know what you're thinkin but I'm not blind I can see

New Religion
03:16

I look up to the sky and remember, what I did last year today,
Well I was drunk as fuck, i could not stand up, but I kept goin anyway,
thought whats the point in going hungry, if it just adds to the pain,
it was cold as hell and my blood froze thin, but I kept goin anyway
Gotta make the decision, that we've got something can't be taken away
It takes a little ambition, to make our own way
Well I look up to the stars and remember, that its not just for today,
cuz if the sun rises up tomorrow, it means we have another day,
thought whats the point in a new religion, if we still hate each other just the same
Thought whats the point in a capitalist system, all it ever did was take away,
Gotta make that decision, that we've got something can't be taken away
it takes a little ambition, to make our own way Lets go!
I know I shouldn't think for myself, they'll do it for me, much better then me
they've gotta new religion for me, where I don't think or speak where I don't think or speak
Who will perscribe to your new religion, I'll tell you its not me

Nothings Ordinary

Got your pillows stained in bleach, erase it all like a stolen dream
the sidewalk screams, nothings ordinary
I don't wanna be, lead by you
I don't wanna be fucking lied to, I don't wanna be
Two faced shifty politicians take my freedom away
Can you taste it in your mouth I hope the taste is making you sick
Scrub your face until it shines, rotting away behind the curtains you hang
the sidewalk screams, nothings ordinary
I don't wanna be, lead by you
I don't wanna be fucking lied to, I don't wanna be
Two faced shifty politicians take my freedom away
Can you taste it in your mouth I hope the taste is making you sick
Well I'll write my own directions for the life that I'll assamble
No room for traditions or other types of learned behavior
take a look at where you are, feel their laws breaking at your bones
I Can't remember time, when I could decide another way to live
Well its all about nations, their laws and their relationships, and ensuing wars

Empty Bottle

Don't raise a voice of desention too loudly cuz,
You don't know who will hear you.
They've got the power and polished cars that they don't wanna give up.
Created nations and boarders and laws to keep the people seperated from each other, pit us against one another.
Put your fist in the air and declare that you've had enough!
I didn't like the later editions, used different words but its the same rendition of.
Exploitation of the lower class, it widens the gap between us and them.
Where does this all begin, government religion, the web of the system no matter what we call it.
We, end up the same staring at an empty bottle wondering who to blame.
We, end up the same staring at an empty bottle wondering who to blame.
I do not think that I can even hold on
Long enough to finish writing this song, This song! This song!
Don't start a commotion cuz if it spreads you know the police are coming.
With their tear gas and billy clubs to teach us a lesson.
Show authority by force show no remorse for those who fall through the cracks, they hit me in the back.
I put my fist in the air and declared that I've had enough.
I didn't like the later editions, used different words but its the same rendition of.
Exploitation of the lower class, it widens the gap between us and them.
Where does this all begin, government religion, the web of the system no matter what we call it.
We, end up the same staring at an empty bottle wondering who to blame.
We, end up the same staring at an empty bottle wondering who to blame.
I do not think that I can even hold on
Long enough to finish writing this song, This song! This song!
