Dad’s still working on a beer, kids are out on sign patrol Mom breaks out the riot gear, TV’s preaching mind control Tell the people what they want, wave the flag instill some fear It’s a demographic joint, the majority’s oppressed this year I don’t quite understand it yet I don’t think there’s much to get CHORUS Coz a right is a right is a right A Right is a Right is a Right Businessmen in suits and ties, Punk Rockers with arm bands Ain’t much of a disguise, transparent egos throughout the land Politicians they sharpen their knives The cattle gladly surrender their lives Now I’m not much for Anarchy But there ain’t much left there for me Whatever happened to democracy? Why can’t they just look and see… Come on down enjoy the fun, check those egos at the door We’re all losers when they done Hear the rich laughter of the poor There’s 101 bottles of beer on the wall Pretty soon I’m gonna drink them all

21st Century 03:56
Living in the New Age that you made I look around and I don’t like what I see Mysticism’s running your parade While people suffer a catastrophe The bread lines form outside your pretty picture The poor get poorer and the rich get richer I just get angry when I see you talkin’ Meaningless crap leaves the masses gawking CHORUS Welcome to the 21st century Living in the poverty you made Crawling down the alley on her hands and knees Watching while the hopes all start to fade Is it a crime or a disease? Politicians can’t take no decisive action The war on drugs are a convenient distraction Watching while you let it fall apart You lost the race, right from the start We don’t need you Don’t need no old map to show us the way Don’t need your distractions to lead us astray

Get Over You 02:17

Cheez Metul 03:09
Do you believe in democracy? Do you know what it means to be free? Get your info from the TV news Get your attitude from their schools No thinking, no blinking, no Beijing Mindless propaganda keepsn the masses in line Cradle of democracy’s a state of your mind Can’t you open your minds to see? What’s out there seems so clear to me Get rid of some of that political nonsense What you got left is just a little more common sense I wanna shake out all your ignorant views Make you see we all got something to lose Why don’t you just get up and fight? Gotta stand up for your rights, right now Cut all that political crap Can’t you see, what’s out there seems so clear to me On your knees, right down where you’re supposed to be Keep playing those games and keep saying what you’re meant to say You’re losing your perspective while the politicians win the day You’re never gonna grow out of those cliquey little things you do Just stand by while the world screws up It’s got nothing to do with you

Looking at you I can see myself I know it’s gonna be bad for my health Look at those eyes, reflecting lies I lose myself I can see those suicides I penetrate your disguise Two-way mirrors CHORUS Keep me in the darkness sweetly Make me prisoner discreetly Bring my greatest fears to meet me They say they’re mirrors of the human soul Reflecting terrors, the dark secrets you know Bedroom blue, frightening hue Keep sinking deeper in the mystery of you Make me forget what I knew Two-way mirrors They say that love should make me float on the clouds But she won’t tell me if I’m even allowed Strutting down slowly in control she’s so proud
6.
You keep on talking like you’re ruling the world Never notice anyone outside of your walls Company calls for you Close-minded dogma from old parchment unfurled Geriatric cases preaching yesterday’s news Eat the bread and drink the booze Christians worship idols of a man on a cross While preachers in the Bible Belt are milking the poor Religious sideshow on tour Jews and Muslims killing in the name of their God Don’t seem to notice the emptiness of their words Hypocritic boys and girls Can’t you see Hypocrisy Living in the world of the past I see those men so wise I see right through their lies Can’t aknowledge changes in society Living safely in the eighteenth century Now it’s more than just a thing to annoy Now it’s still another means to destroy
