Dies
In silence
When media is weaponized
Propaganda
Voice of the tyrant
Propaganda
Lies
Propaganda
Mislead the masses
Propaganda
This is how a nation dies
Our voices
Cease
In spotlights
With a loss of credibility
Propaganda
Sow the seeds of hatred
Propaganda
Lies
Propaganda
A narcissist's delusions
Propaganda
This is how a nation dies
Sample breakdown

Religious right
Hate for those with less is all you see
Can't get past your brash hypocrisy
The poor,
the meek,
the peacemakers say
You ain't no Christian
You ain't no Patriot
Existential dual identity
Conflating Faith with public policy
The poor,
the meek,
the peacemakers say
You ain't no Christian
You ain't no Patriot
What could be more Un-American than sounding like The sermon on the Mount
Religious propaganda
Religious oxymoron
Religious false persecution
Religious right

You got it
Do you really wanna be one of them?
Licking the boot of the police man
Boots gonna end up on the other foot
What're ya gonna do then?
Back the blue
Respect the badge
On your knees
You got it you got it you got it
Back the blue
Respect the badge
On your knees
You got it you got it you got it
got it you got it you got it
got it you got it you got it
Got what you fucking wanted
You're still poor even though your white
When they come for you will they still be right?
Do you really wanna be one of them?
Licking the boot of the police man
Boots gonna end up on the other foot
What're ya gonna do then?
You got it you got it you got it
got it you got it you got it
got it you got it you got it
Got what you fucking wanted

Back To Rehab

Back to rehab
I am bad excuses
I am a solemn nod
I am good intentions
I am a grand facade
Composure dulls my senses
Just along for the ride
It's all up from here
But my arms are tied
My arms are tied
And back to rehab I go
My own Hippocratic oath
First do no harm
Prescription meditation
The 14th times the charm
Do no harm
And back to rehab I go

Lies

Lies
Wake up at noon to the sound of Infowars
Scapegoat the immigrants to distract from your whores
It's always the same song and dance with you
Lies, Lies
It's always the same bullshit tune
Lies, Lies
Brainwash your minions someone else to take the fall
Actions scream all for one as they chant one for all
It's always the same song and dance with you
Lies, Lies
It's always the same bullshit tune
Lies, Lies
You blame the immigrants, you blame the blacks
You build your empire on their backs
Blame the media, you call it fake news
It's always the same song and dance
It's always

May 26th
The city's burning
Use the flames to light our way
Direct action in reaction
Fighting for a better way
We shout. Black lives matter
We shout I can't breathe
We shout Fuck the police
We shout No justice no peace
We keep fucking shouting
But you don't fucking listen
The city's burning
Your inaction fueled the flame
Cop stations smoulder
We're done playing your games
We shout. Black lives matter
We shout I can't breathe
We shout Fuck the police
We shout No justice no peace
We keep fucking shouting
But you don't fucking listen
The city's burning
Light a match and join the fun
Or wait it out like a coward
But our fight is never done
We shout. Black lives matter
We shout I can't breathe
We shout Fuck the police
We shout No justice no peace
We keep fucking shouting
But you don't fucking listen
No justice
No peace
No justice
No fucking peace

MaryKat
A faded reflection
In a Walgreens window
Doesn't photograph well
She doesn't photograph well
No reason
No rhyme
No judgment
It's not your fucking life
Threw away her mirrors
Now she spends her life alone
Used to raw dog dope fiends
She says those in glass houses
Shouldn't throw fucking stones
No reason
No rhyme
No judgment
It's not your fucking life
Some call it sickness
Some call it poetry
The only life worth living
Is one that keeps your sanity
No reason
No rhyme
No judgment
It's not your fucking life

Burning Down The Factory

Burning down the factory
Know my new vocation
It's to be on permanent vacation
All I want all I need
Is to watch my boss bleed tonight
Hero class workers unite
Sick and tired of all their games
The factory is going up in fucking flames
Burn
Burn
burn
Burn the factory down
Down
Down
Burn the factory down
Here's my situation
No retreat and no hesitation
Wage Slaves must avenge all our losses
Bar the door and burn all the bosses tonight
Hero class workers unite
Sick and tired of all their games
The factory is going up in fucking flames
Burn
Burn
burn
Burn the factory down
Down
Down
Burn the factory down

The devil's in the details
See your sister
Thought she was sweet and prim
She made some bad decisions
She let the wrong ones in
See your sister
She sure has staked her claim
She doesn't get the industry
All she cares about is Fame
She sees the best in everything
Careful for that doors back swing
Underneath the city lights
she knows her name
Underneath the city lights
She found her Fame
She sees the best in everything
Careful for that doors backswing
She walks into a room
She thinks she owns the town
She doesn't hear their hateful words
Gonna tear her whole scene down
They say
Honey you're looking better everyday
Wouldn't want to have it any other way
Honey you've still got a whole lot to learn
You've got a Lifetime of bridges lifetime of bridges lifetime of bridges to burn

Baddest motherfucker in Town
Big man small mind, this is how you get things done
You talk a big game but time for talk is done
Bad move fella
This is your demise
Tonight's the night you're gonna get taken down by the baddest motherfucker in town
Any other time I would've just walked away
But I've had enough so now you're gonna pay
Bad move fella
This is your demise
Tonight's the night you're gonna get taken down by the baddest motherfucker in town

What You Despise
02:24
|

What you despise
Spiritual mystical you're speaking in code
For one who breathes the warmth of saints, you exhale so cold
True to you enlightenment's an effortless path
Absorb good vibes and energy but what the fuck do you give back?
You've become what you despise
Ostracize
You've become what you despise
Void of social context by design
You get yours by taking mine
Self affirming blame absolving righteous little twit (hey)
A piety that dampens others?
Self affirming blame absolving righteous little twit (hey)
Energy remains a constant
YOU DONT GET IT
YOU DONT GET IT
YOU DONT GET IT
YOU DONT GET IT
Spiritual mystical you're speaking in code
For one who breathes the warmth of saints, you exhale so cold
True to you enlightenment's an effortless path
Absorb good vibes and energy but what the fuck do you give back?
You've become what you despise
Ostracize
You've become what you despise
Void of social context by design
You get yours by taking mine

Fight Back

Fight back
Kicking back against ambition
Trading service for sedition
Treason turned in to tradition
They don't want you fighting back
They want control
Don't let them win
Done it before they'll do it again
Your list hope will tell them when
Let them know they just can't win
They don't want you fighting back
They want control
Don't let them win
Fight back (x4)
Now
Fight back (x4)
Now

Dollar beers
Monday night nothing to do
art's is serving till half past two
I'll raise my glass I'll sing out cheers
I'll buy my friends some dollar beers
Dollar beers
Cold one beside me with eight more inside me
Still got another 120 bucks to go
Fucked up on ale a fist fight and jail
I saved enough money I can pay my own bail
Dollar beers
How much too much too much ain't enough
A local got rowdy going to have to fuck him up
Shattered my pint glass kicking his Rich ass
Doesn't fucking matter cuz beers are just a buck
Dollar beers

The Parable of Two Bums

The parable of two Bums
Tell that bum to "get a job" that's what you were told
Who told you that narrative when you were 5 years old
Those who get rich being bums will always run the game
Their actions they may differ but participants are the same
Bum on the plush
Not all bums are on the rods, some are on the plush
Some will struggle just to eat and others take too much
One is like a social flea looking for a bite
The other is a social leach sucking day and night
Tell that bum to "get a job" that's what you were told
Who told you that narrative when you were 5 years old
So if you wanna save the nation lift the weights that crush
Don't worry about bums on the rods get rid of bums on the plush!
Bums on the plush
