a cop kills one to many
everyone was enraged
everyone said no more
there were protests
a statement must be made
but in there anger
they began to persecute the innocent
when you fight against injustice
and we fight against injustice
we must also remember to care how we fight
or we become the very thing we are fighting against
demands were made
we want anarchy
we want justice
we want anarchy
we want lawlessness
what was supposed to bring an end to 1000 years of
racial oppression has been perverted
into an excuse for violence and greed for the sake of violence and greed
when you fight against injustice
and we fight against injustice
we must also remember to care how we fight
or we become the very thing we are fighting against
we want no one left to defend the law
we want every right to destroy and steel what we want
we want every right to embrace the violence
we want chaos we want chaos
but when the violence finally escalates
so very out of control
and into a place were it devours us all
who will be there to defend us

Caesar's law
03:53
|
|||
|
The emperor made speeches claiming to want peace Carried in by tanks and bombs and crushed beneath his feet
Killing what compassion that he may have had
Taking out the criminals and ravaging the land
Suing his own people to fund his little games
Of Indians and cowboys that no one wants to play
Do you even see them? Do you even care? Do you even hear them when they cry out in
despair?
Consider now the price the missionary pays
Caesar has his law and we’re expected to obey
Even when it contradicts the laws of love and charity St. Theresa’s been arrested and they’ve thrown away the key
So who cares about religion they don’t want it here
We can’t alleviate their pain,
we’re not allowed to wipe their tears
So forget about the past propaganda's we were fed Before we found out on our own
They made up everything they said
Patriotic blindfold - defend yourself or die!
Kill your enemies, kill their children
And your ruler takes the prize
Do you even see them? Do you even care? Do you even hear them When they cry out in despair?

been another long hard day
i cant wait to be home
only get enough time
to eat and sleep and then I gotta be gone
they just keep on taking everything
leaveing just enogh to survive
slave labore at competitive prices
just enough to keep it legalised
no matter how many days i give im never gonna reep what i sow
there never gonna pay me what im worth
to them im only blood from a stone
no one realy cares about some dumb hillbilly
as long as we keep diging there cole
maby we could leave but thers no where we can go
cuz the compenys know how to make sure we dont

if I don't
04:06

we fabricate so many thing to entertain ourselves
delicious are the darkest things corrupting from within
if all I need is my own self to keep myself content at night
who is going to speak against the emptiness I have inside
if I don't believe
1 million faces
1 million screens
1 million soles
1 million screams
drink abyss
embrace the ink
abandon morality
stay asleep
1 million vices
cease to think
1 million distractions
to cover thee

a kind word
05:17
|
|||
|
every time you look my way
i just wanna knock you down
so pretentious
some time even religious
you think you got it all figured out
so so worried about your time
and the way everybody sees you
so convicted of your inelegance
everyone is wrong or beneath you
survival of the fittest
is way to convenient
if you just wanna keep what's yours
abandon all compassion
decide its out of fashion
and the devil will be at your door
a kind kind word doesn't cost you a thing
when you really don't know what to say
a kind kind word doesn't cost you a thing
buy you still don't want to give it away

take my hand
and cut it from my arm
and fling it far away
for it offends me to my core
take my eye
and gouge it from my face
and fling it far away
it offends me to my core
take my ear
and cut it from my skull
and fling it far away
it offends me to my core
take my arms and legs
and cut it from the rest
and fling it far away
for it offends me to my core
does this honor god
cut it off cut it off
where is common sense
cut it off cut it off
when you know god is love
cut it off cut it off
and Jesus paid it all
cut it off cut it off
why would you think god would
cut it off cut it off
have you mutilate yourself
cut it off cut it off

fraud
04:58

|
when you look outside
of your window
and you see the injured
that comes from ..the inequity
laying down
in your, front lawn
you call the police
and have them removed from your site
the go downtown where you
receive an award
for all the good
things the rest of the world
believes you have done
but you care not for
anyone but yourself
you fraud
you fraud
you fraud
you fraud
you horde your wealth
as the hole world starves
you sit at your fire
as the hole world freezes
you hide behind god
and your make-believe piety
but, god will turn around
and see you hiding
and hold you accountable
you fraud
you fraud
you fraud
you fraud
