Land of hope
Made in your dreams
People scream
Or, so it seems
Recognize when to lie
Recognize when to die
Now, why can’t I just get high?
Liberty
She’s a scream
Plays the game like a queen
Lesser men all agree
We’re just pawns in her scene
Now, why can’t I just get high?

Cardboard King
04:06
|
|||
Drift to sleep
Far away
Roll the dice
Let’s make nice
Melt the ice
Ignore advice
Mask yourself
Destroy your kind
One by one
I’m going to use them
And lose them again
Destiny
Followed me
Cardboard king
Token ring
Hideaway
Find a way
Castaway
Not today

Hey there, Jim
04:35
|

Hey there Jim
How’s the family
Buried here in the yard
No escape
No surprises
No remorse anymore
Lost my friends
And my family
Lost them all in the war
Kennedy
Last man standing
Check your soul at the door
I would go
If I could
I’d go on anyway
Take this knife
And this letter
Give it all to my kid
Tell my wife
And her family
They are kind and their good
But those days
They are over
When survival’s at stake
We’re not sheep
No we can’t be
At least not anymore
We’ll resist
Don’t you worry
We’re not going to war
But the man
On the TV
Says we are all enemies
He’ll do just
What he pleases
And we’ll die in the streets

Pay the Piper
03:03
|
|||
Terrified of your dreams
Things are not what they seem
There’s no more fairy tales
We will never survive
Unless we pay the piper
Stall, fall,
Crawl from this shell
Before this hell
Defines you
Mausoleum
Massive armies
Coliseum
Lions roaming
Terracotta
Fighting warriors
They will never relent
Until the day they find you
Massive graves
We’ll make our homes
Speak out and then
They’ll stone you
Pick them off now
One by one
They will never relent
Until the day they find you

Devil's Play
02:24
|
|||
Well, now somebody’s knocking at my door
And I know who it is
But not who it’s for
It seems the devil wants to meet me
To go for a ride
She’s got a score to settle
And I a secret to hide
She said, now hey, hey.
What’s your name?
She said, now hey, hey.
What’s your game?
And I scratch and I cry
But I got dirt in my eyes
While you plan and devise all the ways we can die
And we’ll dance and we’ll dance
And you’ll scream and I’ll scream
All we’ll all dream of things that we wish we had been
And you’ll hope and I’ll hope
And we’ll hang from a rope
For the things we have seen and the things we have been
Cursed little eyes filed with their lies
Still hypnotized
We are what we despise

Love the Bomb
04:49
|

Tools
Kill
Fools
Will
Follow orders
Because
Fools
Will use
Tools to
Kill
And follow orders
Because
Now it’s all right
And it’s ok
Stay up all night
And sleep all day
OK
I learned to love
To love the bomb
And let myself
Rot away
OK

Close the Door
04:53
|
|||
Before you even inquire
Clear the thoughts from your mind
It could be awhile
Until the sun shines
Close the door
Come on inside
Forget the world
You knew before
Come on give us a smile
Because you know you and I
Are at the end of the line
Because of feckless minds
Close the door
Come on inside
Forget the world
You left behind
In the history books
We’ll be wiped from memory
Victors write the words
Might you know it makes right
Before you even inquire
Clear the thoughts from your mind
It could be awhile
Until the sun shines
Close the door
Come on inside
Forget the world
You knew before

Humanity on Offer
03:51
|
|||
Finding a main line
Sniffing for that trail
Everything seems fine
If a living hell is what you think is all right
Brought to you by the very best
Humanity on offer
In our faded rest
Taken in by charms now
You’ll never see it coming
Because he’s going to take it all
If a living hell is what you think is all right

Counting the Days
03:54
|
|||
Suffer life
Suffer death
Suffer your eyes
Suffer your breath
Plenty of people
Lost in a fog
Plenty of moves
To make you feel small
Take me home
Come on now
Exterminate
Bring us home
Nothing waits
We’re all ill
Of our own will
The head is kill
The heart it breaks

Regret is my only high
03:30
|
|||
I’ve seen your man on high
Regret is my only high
The citizens are on strike
One of only five
If I only knew you then
I’m sure you wouldn’t mind
Defeat it taste so sweet
Knock you off of your feet
|

Your absence is bringing me down
Lately, it feels like you’re never at home
It seems like you’re running around
Your absence is bringing me down
Sometimes, I pretend I’m the one that you love
Someone that you want to hold close
But then I wake up and you are gone
Given the time that has changed us as we’ve grown
Accustomed to our own petty goals
Stripped ourselves of our souls
Patience, that which I have none to show
I’ve tried but I failed to hold
You close to the seeds that we’ve sown
|

Without
03:28
|
|||
I swore not to hear you out
One of us will go without
Under the bridge
A man, he shouts
I found god, here on the ground
