HEAD HEARSE
You swallow shit like sheep follow shepherds
Walking in your sleep - Sleep walking in your head hearse
Yeah, you swallow shit like sheep follow shepherds
Take a deep breath and dive in head first
Dive in head first
Now you know
You know I'm cynical
I'm cynical, I'm fucking cynical
If I could, I would- I'd set the world on fire
It's all political,
It's criminal-
Beyond critical
Yet you don't even see it cuz there's "none so blind"
And you never question, never second guess them, never press them
You just cling to your possessions like a sinking ship
They're waging war against the poor behind the doors of your distractions
Cashing in on your inaction
Man you make me sick!
And I say you swallow shit like sheep follow shepherds
Walking in your sleep - Sleep walking in your head hearse
Yeah, you swallow shit like sheep follow shepherds
Take a deep breath and dive in head first
Dive in head first-
Walking in your sleep - Sleep walking in your head hearse
Oh, sweet dreams - Ignorance is bliss
Bring the violence
Bring the Lies
Close your eyelids
Oh, sweet dreams - Ignorance is bliss
Sleep deep - Sleep deep in ignorance
Take a look around you
Notice everyone is following the leader
Never even thought to question why
You're just a slave within a system you don't even know you live in
Yeah, the walking dead are calm beneath those watchful eyes
So- Come on consumers- consume, consume!
Put the metaphores to work, the letters spell your doom
And when the zero hour comes and you combust in fire
Just sit back and watch your time expire
Watch it all go down
Watch the daylight - turn to darkness
Watch the mountains return to the seas
Watch the children - burn to ashes
Watch them scatter like leaves in the breeze
Watch the whole world - stand corrected
Watch it all disappear in a blurr
Feel the wrath of the earth we've neglected
And watch how fast she'll take back what we took from her
Realize this is where you're going
Never saw it coming-
You never saw it coming
Realize this is where you're headed
Never saw it coming-
You never saw it coming
Yeah, you swallow shit like sheep follow shepherds
Walking in your sleep - Sleep walking in your head hearse
Yeah, you swallow shit like sheep follow shepherds
Take a deep breath and dive in head first
Oh, sweet dreams - Ignorance is bliss
Bring the violence
Bring the Lies
Close your eyelids
Oh, sweet dreams - Ignorance is bliss
Sleep deep - sleep deep in ignorance
Dive in head first!
Lonely Road
This is what you wanted
Well now you've got it
Our time is bartered so we best make haste
A lie will travel round the world tonight
And by the time it comes back it'll be way too late
It's operation occupation- Capital, Corporations
You feed the fire but it's never enough
I don't make records, I make weapons
I send 'em off like time bombs ticking down-
Now who do you trust?
Tossing and turning - I'm losing control
As I'm traveling down this lonely road
Never been better, this never gets old
I'm just traveling down this lonely-
Road to perdition
I'm having visions
Am I in prison or just lying in wait?
A lie will travel round the world tonight
And by the time it bites back it'll be way too late
Imperialistic, Cystic,
Capitalistic- So sadistic
You feed the fire but it's never enough
This is what you wanted
It's what you wanted
This is what you wanted
Well now you've got it!
Tossing and turning - I'm losing control
As I'm traveling down this lonely road
Never been better, this never gets old
I'm just traveling down this lonely-
Yeah, look what we've become-
The atom bomb, Bhopal, the Love Canal-
Take a closer look and look what we've become
Exxon Valdeze / Mobil, Chernobyl-
Take a look around and look what we've become
Three Mile Island welcomes refugees from Thailand
Open up your eyes man-
What have we done?
There's no solution- Just pollution
Humanity? Fuck this institution
No absolution- Persecution
Spin that revolver- "Revolution"
Propping up a puppet- Corrupt motherfuckers
Dealing with you suckers through diversional goad
Worship the War Ship
Market horse shit
Unraveling
We travel down this lonely road
This is what you wanted
It's what you wanted
This is what you wanted
Well now you've got it
Bullet
Yeah- Got one bullet for right wing
And one bullet for the left
One bullet right between your eyes
Read between your lies-
Pillow talking while you deal death
One bullet for redemption
And one bullet for revenge
And one bullet for the filthy rich who don't give two shits about anyone "beneath" them
One bullet for the guilty
And one bullet for the damned
And one bullet for the man in charge,
Who still remains at large,
Who had the whole slaughter bath planned
One bullet for your first born
And one bullet for your second
And one bullet for your third, and your fourth, and your fifth, and your sixth-
And we're just getting started
Ready when your ready - Ready when your ready
Ready when you are sir - Ready when you are sir
Ready when your ready - Ready when your ready
Ready when you are sir - Ready when you are sir
One shot, one kill- Never question
One shot, one kill- No excuses
One shot, one kill- No regrets
I'm ready when you are sir-
Ready when you're ready sir
Got one bullet bullet for the temple
And one bullet for the mosque
And one bullet if you worship Christ-
And when we take your life we'll nail your act to a wooden cross
One bullet for your savior
And one more just for fun
We got a bullet with your name on it
Same sonnet
Prophets profit when I'm holding a gun
Ready when your ready - Ready when your ready
Ready when you are sir - Ready when you are sir
Ready when your ready - Ready when your ready
Ready when you are sir - Ready when you are sir
One shot, one kill- Never question
One shot, one kill- No excuses
One shot, one kill- No regrets
I'm ready when you are sir-
Ready when you're ready sir
One shot, one kill- Never question
One shot, one kill- No excuses
One shot, one kill- No regrets
I'm ready when you are sir
Ready when you're ready sir
Pay for your faith
There will be hell to pay
There will be hell to pay
There will be hell to pay for your hate
There will be hell to pay
There will be hell to pay
There will be hell too
Never mind- Fuck it
Ready when your ready - Ready when your ready
Ready when you are sir - Ready when you are sir
Ready when your ready - Ready when your ready
Ready when you are sir - Ready when you are sir
Never question
No excuses
No regrets
I'm ready when you are sir-
Ready with the shot sir
One shot, one kill- Never question
One shot, one kill- No excuses
One shot, one kill- No regrets
I'm ready when you are sir
Ready with the shot- Come on
There will be hell to pay
There will be hell to pay
There will be hell to pay for your hate
There will be hell to pay
There will be hell to pay
There will be hell too
Never mind- Too late

To keep your blinders on
Remember you've been reborn
I'll cut you ample slack to hang your neck
And when you genuflect-
You better pay respect son
Cuz I contend that I'm your only friend

(you're living in a dream)
You're dying but don't stop from living it up
Yeah, your dying but soon you'll be dead
And a voice said...

Free will never had a fucking chance
Let it go - Let it go
Sleep deep -
Come on and do the Devil's Dance
CURTAIN CALL
It's been a long time coming- Now it's come down to this
So follow through- Follow suit- Fall into the abyss
This is your tv talking- "Keep popping pills and shopping"
It's gone be fine, your gona be fine, it's just your heart stopping
Turn on the radio- Audio ads, it's all the same-
"Are you medicated yet? Are you heavily sedated?" (Bated)
It's gona be alright- Just don't forget to bow,
It's gona be fine, you're gona be fine-
Just keep your head down
And pay no mind to the man behind the curtain
Making certain that you sleep-
Making certain that your weak-
Iron curtain
Pay no mind to the man behind the curtain
Making certain you don't dream-
Making certain you don't scream, "Iron curtain!"
Couple hundred billion laundered from the poor to the rich
They got one eye on the prize, the other's fixed on the switch
They need their day spas- They need their private jets
They need their oil, send the poor out for more- certain death
Double standards- Double barrel- Parchment barrel for waste
It's hard to stop drinking blood after you've taken a taste
It's gona be alright- Just turn your cheek and bow
It's gona be fine, you're gona be fine-
Just keep your head down
And pay no mind to the man behind the curtain
Making certain that you sleep-
Making certain that your weak-
Iron curtain
Pay no mind to the man behind the curtain
Making certain you don't dream-
Making certain you don't scream, "Iron curtain!"
Put up a wall- We all are falling for the curtain call
Put up a wall- We all are falling for the curtain call
Put up a wall- We all are falling for the curtain call
Put up a wall- We all are falling for the curtain call
You're no better- You're no better-
You're no better than anybody else!
You know better? You know better? You know better?
Burn this bridge down!
You're no better- You know you're no better
You know you're no better than anybody else
So you know better- You think you know better-
You know you're no better-
Burn this bridge down!
Pay no mind to the man behind the curtain
Making certain that you sleep-
Making certain that your weak-
Iron curtain
Pay no mind to the man behind the curtain
Making certain you don't dream-
Making certain you don't scream "Iron curtain!"
LAVATION
He's laying face down on the ground
His last thoughts are searching for a light that's not to be found
The only sound he can hear is that distant thunder
While he drowned in his own blood he wondered where his mom was
She's crying as she clutches her cross
It's just about the only thing she has to comfort her loss
Across the street, the troops boots march to the beat
The drums come with the gunfire, tanks and heat
I wonder-
What if there was no religion?
What if there were no debate?
What would we kill for then?
They say "Nothings going to change this world"
What if there was no division?
What if we said no to faith?
What would we die for then?
They say "Nothings going to change this world"
Now read the writing smeared on the wall
It's scripted in blood
Been several thousand years in the squall
The fall, The son, our father, and the holy gun
Begun first with Osiris- then it spread like a virus
So Kamikaze pilot the plane
Our future crashes down faster than the hot metal rain
Don't call it insane-
We're praying for eternal rest,
Good old self satisfaction and virgin flesh
Of course, this was all Invented when the planet was flat- the sun circled round the earth
Believe and leave it at that
From blade to gat
Fission bombs- cleanse and blaze
And with a little luck we just may bring the end of days
I wonder-
What if there was no religion?
What if there were no debate?
What would we kill for then?
They say "Nothings going to change this world"
What if there was no division?
What if we said no to faith?
What would we die for then?
They say "Nothings going to change this world"
Well I dare you to doubt them
Gona take it as far as we can take it
Gona take it as far as we can go
All my time is owed
I'm gone but I can't go
Into that shallow hole
There's got to be more to life than this
Ring in the Dead
You try to see- But your eyes won't perceive what your mind won't dare to dream
And now you try to breathe - But your lungs keep choking on smoke and broken teeth
And now you try to hear - But those voices inside your head fill your ears
And now you try to scream - But you can't wake up from this awful dream
It's like Nightmares live in people - Manifesting evil
You try to to see- But you don't know how! You don't know how!
Now you try to breathe- But there's nothing left! Just one less breath!
Now you try to smile- But it's been such a long while you don't remember how
And now you try to scream- But you can't wake up from this awful dream
It's like Nightmares live in people - Manifesting evil
Try to think for yourself, try to think for yourself
Can't you see that we are broken?
Tried to be someone, you tried to be someone else
Too bad you're out of time now
You're tragedy
Ring in the dead
So sad to see
Leave em for dead
Put 'em to bed
Bury 'em red
The dead are walking
The blind-
The blind-
The blind leading the blind
The blind-
The blind-
The blind leading the blind
Nightmares live in people
Too many lives-
Try to think for yourself, try to think for yourself
Can't you see that we are broken?
Try to be someone, you try to be someone else
Too bad you're out of time now
You're Tragedy
Ring in the dead
So sad to see
DYING TODAY
When you're down in the ditches, man you gota get up
When you're staring down the barell ain't no giving it up
When you're at death's door - Keep on living it up
We will fight to the end!
When the blood's spilling in the rill, it isn't a drill
Feel the rush of the brush, just like popping a pill
And when you got a good shot- you better shoot to kill
We will fight to the end!
To the end - To the end-
To the end of whatever we pretended to be
To the end- To the end
To the end of the universe
Blow me away
I'm thinking of dying today
I'm going out praying for prey
I'm giving up -I'm giving up- I'm giving up-
Blow me away
I'm thinking of dying today
I'm going out praying for prey
I'm giving up everything that I've ever loved
Left, right, left- we will march to our death
Left, right, left- we will march to our death
Left, right, left- we will march to our death
We will fight to the end!
Never thought about surrender, never heard of defeat
We can take it to the woods or fight it out on the street - in the concrete jungle
We will never retreat-
We will fight to the end!
To the end - To the end-
To the end of whatever we pretended to be
To the end- To the end
To the end of the universe
Blow me away
I'm thinking of dying today
I'm going out praying for prey
I'm giving up -I'm giving up- I'm giving up-
Blow me away
I'm thinking of dying today
I'm going out praying for prey
I'm giving up everything that I've ever loved
Carry on- Carry on- Carry on
Straight through the gates of hell's ire
Carry on- Carry on
Pawn- Get up - Get up!
It's on- Carry on- Carry on
Straight through the gates of hell's fire
Carry on- Carry on
Pawn- Get up - Get up!
SLOWLY FALLING FASTER
When I die in my dreams ... I see you
Let the road erode
When I die in my dreams
I see my life like movie scenes
I'm paralyzed
Eyes fixated on the screen
I'm in this dark theatre
I'm all alone
I am in oblivion
And I am finally home
I see every day, clip by clip
do i crumble? do i stand tall? do i slip?
do i stumble? rumble in the belly
I'm so hungry that I tremble
I watch my whole world disassembled
I watch myself watch TV, I watch myself feeding
I watch myself sleep and play my CD's
I watch the whole world pass me by
I watch myself work, watch myself jerk, watch myself lie
I watch the days turn to months, then to years
While my soul sleeps dormant under instituted fears
Many tears shed
Am I really dead or still just dreaming
Spent my whole life hiding from myself-
My inner demons
Now I'm screaming out, but there's no sound
Just a clock counting down to the end of everything that I am
Like sand slowly falling fast through the hour glass
We all know nothing ever lasts so everybody wears their own mask
I'm in this dark theatre, inside my head
But then the hairs on my neck stand up in sudden dread
I feel someone else here, not me, not the clock
Something more sinister waiting, lurking in the dark
It says-
"I'm a God, I'm a devil, I am death
And I may look harmless but I am poisonous
I may hear, I may see, I may touch, I may breath
and I may taste so good but I am poisonous"
I can't escape- It's too late- This is my tomb
And I can hear that voice laughing from the back of the room
I feel its cold hands tearing through me... the end is close
I don't believe in miracles anymore-
No, but I believe in ghosts
LONG WAY HOME
Stay strong and carry on-
On your way
It's a long way home
It's a long way home
You're going to get it wrong but carry on
Don't delay
It's a long way home
It's a long way home
Now everybody's gone but you belong
You're all alone
It's a long way home
It's a long way home
But there's another dawn- So battle on
You're on your own
It's a long way home
It's a long way home from here
This is your shadow side
Stare into your eyes
You can't hide from your shadow side
All you know are lies
And you'll die with your shadow side
This is your demise
You can't hide from your shadow side
Just how much could you ever take?
Trust in love til it evaporates
Now you are on your own-
And it's a long way home
Nihilist
Different dollar, different color, different culture
They're not "one of us" so let them die
We're too busy cooking TV dinners-
Too busy watchin "Idol" while we idly stand by
So wave goodbye to rationality
Notify all the next of kin
I've got a flag, and a vengeful God
It's so cold and dark out-
Let us in-
Let us Sin!
Roll- Just drop and roll- Just drop and roll-
Just drop and roll- Put the fire out
Roll- Just drop and roll- Just drop and roll-
Just drop and roll- Til you black out
Kill em all- Make them famous
Kill em off- Make them pay
Kill em all- Kill em off- Don't think twice
Make them pay-
Kill em all
No food, no water, no meds- Fuck em!
Someone told me that they spread disease
And I don't give a shit - What the fuck is ignorant?
I'll start dropping crumbs when they're on their fucking knees
Better believe- You better believe we mean to kill em off-
Kill em all- Kill em quick
False security is my best friend
It's so cold and dark out-
Let us in-
Let us Sin!
Apparition - Am I aberrational?
Deny contradiction
Am I conformational?
Kill em all- Make them famous
Kill em off- Make them pay
Kill em all- Kill em off- Don't think twice
Burn- Just drop and burn - Just drop and burn
Just drop and burn- Every last one
Burn- Just drop and burn- Just drop and burn
Just drop and- Kill em off-
Kill em all!
