Pestilent Existence

admin — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 16:16:17 +0000

Systematically populated, Nuclear annihilation
Mind rotting flesh eating cellular infection
Genetically manipulated, human imitation
All staring through my window as I sit here in damnation
I wonder how it’s gonna end, If we keep up this pace
Will we progress? Or end the human race
We’re destroying our planet, We’ve fallen from grace
I just can’t take it anymore
Take me to this place to
This wall of sound that surrounds me
Ands keeps me bound to the underground
It’s in my heart and in my soul
I wanna kill you with my rock and roll
And destroy the forces that control our pestilent existence
Can’t take it anymore, don’t wanna think about it, it makes me sick
I step outside and all I see is our deterioration
When we’re gone all that remains
Will be plastic implantations
And I can’t tell the Christians from Satan’s congregation
So everyone climb aboard
Nonstop to damnation!
This run away machine
Never slowing down
Someone said "its Entropy" well its too late now
We’re far to gone
We keep adding to this pile
Just wanna sit back and listen for a while to this
Wall of sound that surrounds me
Ands keeps me bound to the underground
It’s in my heart and in my soul
I wanna kill you with my rock and roll
And destroy the forces that control our pestilent existence
Can’t take it anymore, don’t wanna think about it, it makes me sick
This pestilent Existence
Humanity’s persists in
It grows like a plague
While we whither away

Hard As Fuck

admin — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 18:18:39 +0000

One day I decided to pray
I kneeled down & looked to the sky
I asked God why is life so hard
He turned his back & I started to cry
You turn your back on me
So I turn my back on you
Fuck your system and fuck you too
You tell me to follow your rules
Well how the fuck do you expect me to obey them
When you can’t even follow them yourself
You’re just trying to keep me down

Living in Miami

admin — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 21:21:29 +0000

He didn’t fit in he always felt rejected
His father hit him and made him feel defective
He got a bottle
It seemed to take the pain away
He’s only 15 and he don’t know any other way
Always searching, never felt like he belonged
Always hurting, always told that he was wrong
He left home, the streets looked safer
All alone except a quart of Schaffer
All alone and nowhere to go
He feels at home at the punk rock show
And when he’s hanging out with his crew
He’s living on the streets of Miami
He’d rather die than go home to his family
And that’s what he’ll do
He doesn’t want your pity
Miami can be a cruel city
He’s always ready for a fight
He doesn’t want your sorrow
Don’t wanna think about tomorrow
He only wants to make it through the night

Freedom

admin — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 03:03:04 +0000

Everyday i listened to you and nothing’s ever good enough
you’re always complaining about something you act so goddamn tough
but all you ever do is let someone do your thinking for you
and you have no respect for my opinion
well at least i think for myself i`m not brainwashed
to think like people that rule
i’m not a pool and i’ll rise i wont compromise
and i’ll never give up, i won’t walk walk walk away
there won’t be another day when i can say hey hey hey… freedom
you talk to me i see your lips move
but the words that come out aren’t yours they’re someone elses
you dangle from their strings beneath the wings
of the eagle you push but i’ll never fall
i’m not the only one whose willing to stand up..
we’ve had enough your laws just benifit you
we watch you get richer as we get sicker
and we’ll rise with battle cries and we’ll never give up

Conditioning

admin — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 15:15:49 +0000

Every day the brainwash trend, repeating the words put into my head
never thinkin about what they mean monotone, like a damn machine
i stood in line, a single file a uniform to fit the style
but my individuality they could never take from me
shown a cross and made to pray do exactly what they say
they told me it was the only way chant the same thing every day
i put my hand upon my chest and say some words that were meaningless
but deep inside i always knew your system sucks and so do you
desensitized to almost everything conditioned to act without thinking (x2)

Disobey

admin — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 20:20:32 +0000

Hey…Disobey
I’m not gonna listen to what you say
I won’t listen to you if you say I’m outta line
I won’t listen to you fuckin rightwing slime
you try to hold me down
but I pick myself back up
lets all skank together &
pick it up

WWYD?

admin — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 02:02:05 +0000

Call me sacreligious, I see you as ficticious
Living your life in a storybook nightmare
Gimmicks meant to infiltrate & hairwash todays youth
Another fashion slogan what would you do
if I tore you dreams & you heard the violent screams
of a polluted, starved, corrupted world & soiled what was serene
Greased up & coated evangelistic lies
now you can slide along your apathetic life
the path towards the light has made you blind
You’ve accepted moral values but you’ve left something behind
Rape & murder aren’t condoned in the bible
"How to Fuck the World" should be the new title
of the book that you translate to cover up your hate
If I decided your fate what would you do if I took you back
in history & you saw your family raped & murdered
in front of you because of your beliefs. Hypocrite, so full of shit!
Religion does not make a person good or bad
Whose right or wrong? Only fate will tell
But if it was all up to me it would be you that burned in hell

The Wet Foot Policy

admin — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 15:15:12 +0000

All the people on the street are on fire
they’re fucking sick and tired of you
We’ve heard it all before
give us your tired, your weak and your poor
huddled masses you said you’d embrace
the lies on Lady Liberty must be erased
They braved the open sea to give freedom a taste
our land of opportunity, their face full of mace
so MacArthur Causeway will be ours
I know the wounds will close but we`ll still see the scars
and the faces of the innocent locked behind bars
while human rights are violated by the coast guard again
I didn’t know that pigs could swim
90 miles to a better way of life
if I touched my foot to soil I`m free
8 days now the beach is in sight
now you stand between freedom and me
just leave me to my own device
I know the Wet Foot Policy
Your actions made this fire ignite!
I’d rather drown in the fuckin’ sea.

Haymarket Square

admin — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 03:03:26 +0000

No one’s gonna hold them down today
They’re ready to fight for their rights
On May 3rd, 1886
Chicago burned with the fire they lit
The workers were on strike cause money’s tight
The pigs were out and looking for a fight
They opened fire into the crowd
A worker was hit and he went down
No one’s gonna hold them down
No! They’re gonna burn this fuckin’ town
August spies denounced capitalism
But he urged no violence
He was addressing a crowd of workers
The pigs ordered him silenced
A bomb was thrown and the silence wailed
A pig laid dead and 8 were jailed
That day the system failed
You know it never fails
If you think you can crush these ideas
That are gaining ground more each day
If death is the penalty for proclaiming truth
Then I’ll proudly and defiantly pay
Four men were sentenced to death
To set an example to all the rest
Who would dare to stand and protest
The injustices we all detest

Alba

admin — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 18:18:29 +0000

Black beans on the stove, malta in my hands
Tears in Alba’s eyes as she dreams of a far away land
"I’ve been stripped of my country, I’ve been spit on by my race"
I said "It’ll be okay!" as I wiped a tear from her face
And she said "No quieroir la mentira que vivo aqui!"
"Yo quiero volver a mi pais!"
"You’ll never know the pain that I feel inside
I’ve been stripped of my country and robbed of my pride
I don’t know where I’m gonna go but I don’t belong here!"

Committing The Truth

admin — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 15:15:02 +0000

Just keep your mouth shut
And don’t you try to obstruct us
Your act of conscience protects everyone but now you’ve lost our trust
And now you’re a target for us
Whistleblower, you’re a whistleblower
I heard you commit the truth
And we’ll deny and we’ll dispute it
Your integrity protects us all
But in this institute it just serves to make you a target for us
Cause when you speak out
you will receive no praise and
You will be blacklisted for the lives that you’ve saved
Cause when you signed up, all your rights were waved
We’ll demote, harass, dismiss and intimidate
We know that it’s our fault
But you’ve brought production to a halt
So crawl back home and lick your wounds
And we’ll make sure to pack them full of salt
You’re just a target for us
Hide this catastrophe
We own the images that you see
There’s nothing that you can do
The laws protect the industries
And now you’re just a fucking target for us

Kicking The Dog

admin — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 02:02:43 +0000

theres something deep inside you cant see or touch and they can never take from me no matter how hard they try i’ll never give it up till the day i die

Bakunin

admin — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 11:11:13 +0000

A repentant nobel man
He vowed to overthrow the land
Horrified by the treatment of the peasants by his fathers hand
He had a vision destruction his creative urge
He lit a fire and it still burns
Mikhail wanted nothing more than liberty
He denounced the church the state and monarchy
He called for an armed revolution
To overthrow their governmental institution
In a world with a dominant minority
Capitalizing off the poor
The immense majority
Consumed with hatred for authority
Enemy of the state, protector of humanity
Eight years of his life were taken from him
Six of those were spent in a dungeon
But he escaped and circled the globe
Once again sticking his neck on the gallows
To oppose the force of tyranny
That keep us locked our classes
Rise up and kick their collective asses
Whatever the form of government may be
A class restricted society
Will be the end result
No reformation without result

No Reason

admin — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 15:15:50 +0000

It was never easy growing up with you
your words & actions left me confused
the way you think about things makes the mad
you tried to teach me your version of bad
i never saw the reasons for your hate
i don’t think you had one any way
now i’m older, opinionated and i’m strong
so shut your mouth and listen to this song
your way of thinking is fucking wrong
and i know i can’t change you with this song
but maybe i can make you stop to think
we’re all connected, you’re just the weakest link
conditioned to hate without a reason
i don’t understand what you believe in
no color, no race, no religion, no creed
no reason to hate, why can’t you see?

That Way

admin — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 17:17:10 +0000

Here we go again good citizens
Avert your eyes
As the innocent collide
Run and hide as the world sits and watches, hypnotized
Another Belgrade sunset leaving town
Another refugee Macedonia bound
And the bombs still fall tearing the city down
And I want to beat you all black and blue
Cause your not like me
And I ain’t nothing like you
And I wanna keep it that way
Facism gaining ground
An effective cleansing
The borders are closing down
The unwanted masses litter the bloodstained ground
And I don’t really want to know and I don’t care
I’ve got my own problems and they’re over here not there
A good american remains totally unaware
And I want to beat you all black and blue
Cause your not like me
And I ain’t nothing like you
And I wanna keep it that way
So give us your tired your poor and your weak
Cause we break ground for a Wal-mart there next week
And I wanna keep it that way

Louder Than Words

admin — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 22:22:48 +0000

You treat the symptoms not the sickness and condemn a whole race for the benefits your system’s
Offering you attack the class
And claim you support their ass
And still you defend the system
That perpetuates your hate
Your institutions are corrupt
Your way of thinking sucks
We’ve had enough
But our voices go unheard
And if we all screamed "Fuck the system!"
Well it’s just a dream if our actions never
Speak as loud as our words
Louder than words
Your ethnocentric and racial slurs unmask your ignorance
Your front is falling down
Your contempt for the lower classes
On your soapbox above the masses
You think you’re so goddamn profound

Nothing To Lose

admin — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 19:19:13 +0000

He’s running wild through the streets at night
But he’s hiding in the shadows by the break of day
He’s got a clip-on Spyderco knife
But it’s just for keeping the wolves at bay
It’s 2am, fucked up again
He’s living in the bottle cause he’s living with the pain
Insane, poking his veins, he’s standing in the rain
With nothing to lose but everything to gain
Unwanted and unforgiving
He’s tired of fighting and he’s tired of living here
Swigging beer with nothin’ to fear
He’s got nothing to lose so he’s always winning
He’s suffocating, the pain can be excruciating
And liberating, it helps him forget the worlds he’s hating
And now he’s waiting, there won’t be any negotiating
He’s got nothing to lose
He’s been beaten and he’s been bruised
He ain’t taking anymore of your abuse
He’s had enough of their institutions
And all the rules he was told to obey
They offered him no solutions
So he hit the street before they put him away
In a deprogramming youth care center
To rid him of his insubordinate ways
"You know that boy ain’t right" is what you hear his parents say
down on the world and down on his luck
he’s got nothing to lose so he don’t give a fuck
about shit taking risks in the street throwing bricks
he’s got nothing to lose but you’ve drove him to this
trying hard to forget the past
he’s sleeping under the overpass
of 1-95 just trying to survive
just waiting for the moon to arise

12:00 A.M.

admin — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 18:18:02 +0000

It’s midnight and she standing on the corner
Her time is money and that’s fucking up the order
That’s right she’s crossing all the borders
Standing in the shadows
There’s nothing else for her
She doesn’t know if she’s gonna make it through the night
She don’t care – she’s sick and tired of this life
A car rolls up so she shakes her ass
The best she can
5:00 AM in Gould’s they found her stuffed in a garbage can
Are you gonna play the roles
Society wrote for you?
Are you gonna play the roles?
Don’t play the roles
Never play the roles
He never felt right
Holding down a 9-5
It made the ends meet
But it never made him feel alive
He filled his house with everything that he could buy
Buy but more the possessions filled his house
The emptier he felt inside
And then he cracked
He’s in a world
That all his own
He left it all his friends his family and his home
It’s dark outside
Now it’s cold it’s raining and the wind is blowing
Living in a cardboard shack it’s the only thing
He calls his own
Are you gonna play the roles
Society wrote for you?
Are you gonna play the roles?
Don’t play the roles
Don’t play the roles
Never play the roles

Keep Trying

admin — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 06:06:50 +0000

I offer little resistance
It’s a pitiful existence
Your industry is polluting me and my mind
And I can barely find the time
To read the signs
Of things to come
That’s what they want you to know
That’s what they want another song
Won’t change a thing
A revolution I could sing
But that never changed any fuckin’ thing
Your contempt and disregard
For human rights outrage us all
I keep tryin’ that’s all I can do
You’ve made a mockery of justice
With your systems and your laws

Sacco and Vanzetti

admin — Fri, 30 May 2008 19:19:06 +0000

"Long live anarchy!" were Sacco’s last words
Their cries of freedom were supressed and they were never heard
Guilty only of their beliefs, and their foreign births
No solid concrete evidence of being guilty…cause they weren’t
In an atmosphere of instense hostility
The system made it clear – because of your beliefs you’ll receive no pity
In defiance of worldwide protest and appeals
They were electrocuted, their only crimes were their ideals
"Only with liberty can men rise and be complete
We’re the black cats and the terror of many" to all oppressors we bring defeat!
They held true to their beliefs until the bitter end
Their pointless fucking execution was some kind of sick revenge!
Fuck You!
