Bombs Away

I'll burn down your bridges the next time I come into your town.
And you'll go running scared the children they were at school.
But nobody ask too many questions Like who what why when or how.
How come nobody cares about what is happening to your town.
While your sitting there half on fire wondering what you did.
But if we open up our eyes we might find to our surprise No More!
I'll burn down your palace and then I'll tear down all its walls.
Finally raise some questions about what has been ignored.
Until we look up to the skies and we finally realize No More!

Grease the Wheel

Through all these years we've been alienated
But they'll never tear us apart, we're all in this fight together
But I won't grease the wheel, won't keep on spinning in circles
Just to keep your pockets full, It ain't worth the sacrifice
You gotta get lost before you'll be found
Get off their map, end up in your own direction
But don't forget these bonds we create they run deeper than their laws
I don't wanna grease the wheel, don't wanna keep spinning in circles
Just to keep your pockets full, it ain't worth the sacrifice
What I really want to say is your materialistic dreams they mean nothing to me
Just feeds the machine
Why can't we interact with one another, without prejudice, precidents or regrets
It don't make sense
I don't wanna work myself to the bone
Just to keep you world spinning round
I've got my friends and family and we'll be just fine
No countries to be divided, we'll be just fine

Well I just heard the news, the presidents dead he got shot in the head.
But who will take the responsibility cuz actions speak louder than words.
But your fist up in the air like you just don't care, sing like you mean it, sing it like they deserve it.
who will take the responsibility?
Why you took everything that we'd ever tried.
You took everything

Statist Opinion

Saw your face up on the TV screen, telling me exactly what it didn't mean.
Your rhetoric rhetoric rhetoric it's all the same, a false conception of what will gain you fame.
Preach it! Say it! Believe it! Sing it!
They feed you information that you spit, all the bullshit the government puts in it.
Your politics politics politics it's all the same, a false conception of what will get you paid.
Gotta watch the evening news to find,
what corporations run my life I am not crazy!
Just the same people that want me to believe i am bored and lazy!
Entice a little bit of fear and watch your ratings soar!
I don't wanna hear your lies sold to me no more!
No more of your statist opinion
