Russian ties, it's fake news
Financial lies, it's fake news
Pussy grabber, it's fake news
Twitter rambler, its fake news
Give him a nobel prize
Good people on both sides
Blue and red are just alike
Just subscribe on face book and hit like
The things you hear, the things that spark relief
People forget facts, and cling to belief
You like counter grows, with every headline share
But you fail to check your own facts, the conversation goes no where
Network coverage, it's fake news
Tweets & interviews, it's fake news
Print media, it's fake news
Past comments, it's fake news
Some day you gotta choose
Where you get support for your views
Until we all face these facts, no one gets their country back
The things you know, the things you believe Are supported or distorted, by the media machine We have to live in reality, not an fever dream
Think for yourself, reject your smartphone screen
Misquotations, that’s “real”news
Conspiracy theories, that’s “real” news
Alternative facts, that’s “real” news
Whatever makes you smiles, that’s “real” news
Branded marketing, and click-bait pandering
Are a tactic of from on high, to keep us pacified
The things that you’re taught, and the things that you learn Clash inside your brain, until you don’t know who to spurn
Stop swallowing the party line, the feel good refrain
Think for yourself, or else you’re going to go insane
Women's rights, that's real news
Secular government, that's real news
Killing racism, that's real news
Class equality, that's real news
This isn't body politic, or leftist leftist rhetoric
It's just a fucking science fact and there's no way you can dispute that

Plainfield, USA
04:37

Old Ed Gein was a weird sort of guy
Pretty quiet and more than a little shy
All alone in the families old farm
Who'd expected he'd do anyone harm
Digging up graves late at night
Picking the bits that were just right
Completing rituals so their spirits don't roam
People thought he was slow and kinda dull
He just liked eating beans from a skull
Old Ed loved to play with the dead
But it went to his head
He couldn't let the women go
So he had to become Psycho
Old Ed killer number one
His crime was having too much fun
Old Ed killer number one
His crime was having too much fun
Mamma always loved Eddie best
When she died he lovingly put her to rest
Mothers love was the only kind he had known
He'd make her proud now he was on his own
Plainfield was to be the scene
For Geins macabre horrific dream
1957 Bernice Worden disappeared
Ed's behavior tipped off people's fear
Old Ed loved to play with the dead
But it went to his head
He couldn't let the women go
So he had to become Psycho
Old Ed killer number one
His crime was having too much fun
Old Ed killer number one
His crime was having too much fun
The police gathered out in force
Driving down histories chosen course
Searching the near deserted estate
In the kitchen they saw Worden's fate
She was eviscerated like a dead deer
Her head in a box, heart on the stove
Belts of nipples, scalps on the walls
Mother’s favorite chair patched up with human flesh
The box of noses down the hall
Old Ed loved to play with the dead
But it went to his head
He couldn't let the women go
So he had to become psycho
Old Ed killer number one
His crime was having too much fun
Old Ed killer number one
His crime was having too much fun
Eddy was a bad boy but he did his best
Stacks of porn and crime novels the place was a mess
Ed passionately confessed his crimes
Sent to the loony bin doing time
He died in 1984
Through our memory he'll live forever more
He died in 1984
The memory he'll live forever more
Old Ed loved to play with the dead
But it went to his head
He couldn't let the women go
So he had to become psycho
Old Ed killer number one
His crime was having too much fun
Old Ed killer number one
His crime was that he had too much fun

I'm a poor junior trying to get through high school
Family can't pay for college, what can I do
The Recruiter in my lunch hall says he knows a way.
If I join up the military will pay all the way just sign up today
Caus the land of the free needs fodder just like me
To be used up for old white men's egos and greed
Those that make it back are outsiders in their land
Or traumatized for killing other poor men
On command
Spill their blood
On the sand
Once schools over I'm straight into boot camp
My units great they absolutely have my back
Well once I was hazed and proved I wasn't a fag
Now I'm ready to put those shit-stains in a bag
Toss the mag
Light up and take a Drag
Caus the land of the free needs fodder just like me
To be used up for old white men's egos and greed
Those that make it back are outsiders in their land
Or traumatized for killing other poor men
On command
Spill their blood
On the sand
I dropped out college because of the ghosts in my head
Now I'm back home with my girl and my gun under my bed
I'm begging for an excuse to claim self defense
It's my slice and I'm gonna stand my ground
A death mound
Que the mushroom cloud
Caus the land of the free needs fodder just like me
To be used up for old white men's egos and greed
Those that make it back are at best outsiders in their land
Or traumatized for killing other poor men
On command
Spill their blood
On the sand
My american future must be bright and white
With my military training I'm ready to join the fight
Cause an alpha wolf has to protect his pack
And I already got her on kid number four
There will be more
Sign em' up for the core
Caus the land of the free needs fodder just like me
To be used up for old white men's egos and greed
Those that make it back are at best outsiders in their land
Or traumatized for killing other poor men
On command
Spill their blood
On the sand

Halls of Injustice
03:07

The supreme court is coming around
Taking away women's rights, misery compounds
The bigots used to be underground
Now the masks are off in politics, power abounds
They say it's crazy that this could happen here
But it doesn't affect me now so there's nothing to fear
Enough talk about what's left of your rights
Now it's time to talk about how we're gonna fight
You don't notice freedom until you need it
But when they take it you’re gonna fucking feel it
You don't notice freedom until you need it
But when they take it you’re gonna fucking feel it
You don't notice freedom until you need it
But when they take it you’re gonna fucking feel it
You don't notice freedom, don't let them take
Your fucking rights away
I know things seems hopeless and vain
The masses squabbles while corporations make all the gains
The american dream ended up a lie
So now you don't know what to do why even try
Because there's future worth striving for
But it can't be built on commerce it has to be built on more
Y'all talk about your indelible rights
but if you don't defend them they ain't got no bite
You don't notice freedom until you need it
But when they take it you’re gonna fucking feel it
You don't notice freedom until you need it
But when they take it you’re gonna fucking feel it
You don't notice freedom until you need it
But when they take it you’re gonna fucking feel it
You don't notice freedom, don't let them take
Your fucking rights away
The future is looking pretty rough
And the last thing we want to hear is you gotta be tough
We’re all struggling day to day
And with every news story it gets a little gray
This is the shining city on a hill
How can such a place exist when women can't even get the pill
When you bank on being saved by society
Then you gotta protect everyone not just me, me, me, me
You don't notice freedom until you need it
But when they take it you’re gonna fucking feel it
You don't notice freedom until you need it
But when they take it you’re gonna fucking feel it
You don't notice freedom until you need it
But when they take it you’re gonna fucking feel it
You don't notice freedom, don't let them take
Your fucking rights away

Cabin Fever

Covid's coming lock down's in effect
It's OK order groceries direct
People out there fighting for TP
I planned ahead so that won't happen to me
The world outside is falling a part
Why not spend some time working on my art
Cruising social media, liking dank memes
Time to binge anything that I can stream.
The days roll on, it's the same old song
Laundry's not done, caus I see no one
Dirty dishes pile, it's been a while
Since I felt well, in my private hell
Cause I give up, give up
Because it's tough
This isolation
Is gonna fuck you up
Months go by in the blink of an eye
I barely notice as I polish off my Rye
When did I last take a bath
Who the fuck cares, why bother with the math
Pacing the walls with no where to go
If I died during lockdown would anyone know
I need these thoughts out of my head
It's been hours I just want to go to bed
The days roll on, it's the same old song
Laundry's not done, caus I see no one
Dirty dishes pile, it's been a while
Since I felt well, in my private hell
Cause I give up, give up
Because it's tough
This isolation
Is gonna fuck you up
I've watched all i can stand, I've drank all I dare
The ticking of the clock reminds me I can't go anywhere
And I don't know what to do, I'm always full of dread
I couldn't even tell you why I bother getting out of bed
I don’t know who to call, do I even have friends
The walls are closing in and I think I'm finally going round the bend
The days roll on, it's the same old song
Laundry's not done, caus I see no one
Dirty dishes pile, it's been a while
Since I felt well, in my private hell
Cause I give up, give up
Because it's tough
This isolation
Is gonna fuck you up

The Eternal Waltz
04:13
|
|||
We started dancing in the dark
You pressed against me, I saw your mark
A blood-doll a poor soul enslaved
Or a pale reflection of the species she betrayed
She takes my hand and whisks me away
This is what I've waited for, time to be brave
We walk and talk, the fog kissing our hair
Wandering empty streets to nowhere
She drags me down the alley, rough brick on my skin
I gotta keep my wits about me, for when it begins
Tongues twist, fingers knead
I bite her neck, she begs me to make her bleed
Her touch is enthralling, the moans cloud my mind
All of a sudden i hear something from behind
I try to turn, but her legs grip tight
Cold clammy hands on my throat now it's time to fight
He slams me against the wall, ribs crack as i fall
Claws on my throat, gleam in his eye
Then i feel the stake rip inside
Another night, like centuries past
The ticking of the clock, how long will this curse last
I've seen cities rise, and crumble to dust
Spilled rivers of tears, watched blood turn to rust
The loneliness crushes, what's left of my soul
This never ending thirst takes its toll
The neon lights greet me like an old friend
Blood rushing, the siren's call never ends
Creeping through the shadows, my hunger grows
I met him at a dingy punk rock show
He takes me home, we talk till near dawn
We embrace, and the emptiness inside me is gone
So warm to the touch, flush with life
My jaw starts to ache I can't handle the strife
It's so fragile, and yet so real
I just want what he has, just need to feel
He slips between my thighs, I feel so alive
I think control yourself, let him survive
Then I feel my fangs rip inside
These souls have been circling the drain for years
Wrapped up in pain, drowned in tears
Hunter, hunted, a distinction obscene
When both end in bloodshed who cares for means
She plays coy, he plays charm
This eternal waltz will only bring harm
Sticking to the shadows, the dangerous game begins
Her laughter tinkles, he can't help but grin
This time feels different, but do they realize
They both are playing roles they secretly despise
One yearns for a love stolen in it's prime
The other for a distraction from the march of time
He fumbles in his pockets, hands grasping wood
She licks her teeth, his heart beats strong and good
Close together the moment is about to arrive
Only one can walk away who's got the will to survive
He pulls the stake, her fangs descend
Locked together, this could be the end
Eyes wide open as they both feel something tear inside

Bombs 4 Kidz
01:36

Freedom rains down from the sky
A new resource war we need to justify
Train the next generation to happily die
We'll give the bombs to kids
Third world needs to bow to our authority
Gotta keep feeding our oligarchy
Make the poor forget they're the majority
We'll give the bombs to kids
We'll give the bombs to kids
Fear of the other is our weapon
A diet of fear and Armageddon
Stoke the fires of national pride
Take the Geneva convention for a ride
As long as people at home can consume
They don't care if the rest of the world is doomed
All opposition we'll be rid if
We give the bombs to kids
We'll give the bombs to kids
Freedom rain down from the sky
A new resource war we need to justify
Train the next generation to happily die
We'll give the bombs to kids
Third world needs to bow to our authority
Gotta keep feeding our oligarchy
Make the poor forget they're the majority
We'll give the bombs to kids
We'll give the bombs to kids
No matter where you go or hide
Our drones will find you and end your sad life
The American empire, it needs to grow
We'll destroy your culture & turn into a TV show
That's the cost of business I hope you understand,
Now obey our every command
We'll give the bombs to kids
We'll give the bombs to kids
Freedom rain down from the sky
A new resource war we need to justify
Train the next generation to happily die
We'll give the bombs to kids
Third world needs to bow to our authority
Gotta keep feeding our oligarchy
Make the poor forget they're the majority
We'll give the bombs to kids
We'll give the bombs to kids
We'll give the bombs
We'll give the bombs
We'll give the bombs to kids

Bitching and moaning that you can't get a job
Crying that's your paycheck that a foreigner robbed
Generations of squatters setting shop up for years
Pump up the nationalism to bolster the fears
We've been taking immigrants for ages and ages
But now we're letting them put kids in cages
That happened before my time, so it’s not the same
We meddle in their affairs, but we’re not to blame
What do you do when your arguments become cliche
What do you do when your arguments become cliche
Who are you really when you strip the niceness away
Who are you really when you strip the niceness away
The shit coming out of your mouth is nothing new
It's been around for centuries, trust me I'm a jew
We go into other countries and mess with their states
Then when the refugees show up we close up the gates
You act as if you have a claim to the land
But you know the USA is built on first nation sand.
What do you do when your arguments become cliche
What do you do when your arguments become cliche
Who are you really when you strip the niceness away
Who are you really when you strip the niceness away
I know they don't really teach these things at school
So I'll give a little history lesson to you
For a 150 years Europe held top immigrant ranks
War depleted our workforce so businesses talked to banks
Spanish labor kept our nation, fed and making guns
That we sell to the cartels to shoot their sons
We brought them here but it was before my time
So not winning the birth lottery is now considered a crime?
What do you do when your arguments become cliche
What do you do when your arguments become cliche
Who are you really when you strip the niceness away
Who are you really when you strip the niceness away
This dedication to borders I'll never understand
A hegemonic system to maintain dominance
It's the 21st fucking century, we're a global community
But sure the real problem is people with colored skin
Because when it's caucasians you don't say anything
What do you do when your arguments become cliche
What do you do when your arguments become cliche
Who are you really when you strip the niceness away
Who are you really when you strip the niceness away

You've had enough, just watching from the side
Time to stand up and be counted, wave your protest sign
A sea of angry voices, the masses becoming one
Between you and your rights, is a cop with a gun
All of a Sudden, the blue line starts to advance
Gas is deployed, you're free speech never stood a chance
They tell you to disperse, but they won't let you go
They've kettled you in, welcome to the shit show
The crowd starts to panic, the bloc tries to hold the line
They start shooting rubber bullets, the mace makes you blind
suddenly your protest is unlawful, your protections stripped away
You pissed the pigs off & now they're gonna make you pay
All of a Sudden, the blue line starts to advance
Gas is deployed, you're free speech never stood a chance
They tell you to disperse, but they won't let you go
They've kettled you in, welcome to the shit show
You're free to leave, if you let them your ID
If you blocked up, it won't be so easy
The media sides up with the police and the state
Those who were arrested, you'll never learn their fate
All of a Sudden, the blue line starts to advance
Gas is deployed, you're free speech never stood a chance
They tell you to disperse, but they won't let you go
They've kettled you in, welcome to the shit show
Cut to 2020, ACAB falls back on this trick
Terrifying civilians, their fascist tactics make you sick
They say it’s to maintain peace, they’re here to save the day
They pissed us peasants off, now let’s make some blue lives fucking pay
All of a Sudden, the blue line starts to advance
Gas is deployed, you're free speech never stood a chance
They tell you to disperse, but they won't let you go
They've kettled you in, welcome to the shit show
Later that night, Nazi's terrorize the streets
See proud boys having a beer, with off duty police
Antifa and leftists are arrested on sight
Next time hope for a protest but prepare for a fight

The Baron

They were captured, off the ivory coast
Shoved on ships, by their white devil hosts
Chained together, shipped across the seas
Those that survived, were rewarded with slavery
Whipped and starved, far from their homes
Treated like beasts, but they were not alone
They had their faith
And it was strong
Legba heard their pleas
To right all their wrongs
Tonight I'm gonna let the Loa ride
Tonight I'm gonna let the spirits inside
Tonight I'm gonna feel them move through me
Tonight I'm gonna crown Baron Samedi
In the Bayous, hear the rhythm of the drums
Spilt blood, mixed with dark spiced rum
Carved bones and fetishes, adorn the alter space
A copse of dead trees, mark the sacred place
Coffin nails, and gravedigger spades
Ensure, that the pacts that were made
They used the saints
To fool their masters
With the Ghede's Help
Gonna punish those aweful bastards
Tonight I'm gonna let the Loa ride
Tonight I'm gonna let the spirits inside
Tonight I'm gonna feel them move through me
Tonight I'm gonna crown Baron Samedi
A new millenium, but the gods are still here
Seeking vessels, so they can re-appear
Top hat and tails, a properly dressed offering
Willing to be ridden, for the gifts the dead bring
The Veve cast, the ritual has begun
So let’s, have a little fun
At the Cemetary
The party begins
Drinkin', Fuckin' and Laughin'
Make the dead live again
Tonight I'm gonna let the Loa ride
Tonight I'm gonna let the spirits inside
Tonight I'm gonna feel them move through me
Tonight I'm gonna crown Baron Samedi

Our Fine Town
03:05
|
|||
In our little town, nothing happens here
We all love each other, there’s nothing to fear
We know everything our neighbors do
Piss us off, we’re coming after you
Rooting through your trash, digging up the yard
Gossip behind your back, it’s not so hard
Every Sunday, we all go to church
The perfect town as long as you don’t search
But behind the patchwork of the American flag
The truth festers like an old wound gone bad
homelessness and corrupt cops who kick the shit
Out of anyone out after dark you never hear about it
Racism and classism flood the sunny suburban streets
The life of a small town it can’t be beat
We got a bar, a store and a town hall
Business booms with the tourists in the fall
When the liberal freaks come up from the city
We chase their kind off, show them no pity
Fuck those punks, pagans, leftists and queers
‘Cause we have out god and we have our steers
Our little town is the best it can be
With our white-picket cage you’ll never need to be free
When the lights go out and the curtains close
All those little secrets we like to expose
Sexual deviancy, drug dependency and a whole lot more
Keep your head down on your way to the liquor store
Husband slaps his wife, adults molest kids
The guilt and cost of our lie we just can’t be rid
Mow your lawn and wash your car
Middle-management job you’ve come far
Keep the lie strong, big and alive
You’re just a bee in the stepford hive
If someone disrupts the peace of the town
Tear them up and burn em’ to the ground
Caus this town is a fine, fine place
Say “morning’ Neighbor” with a smile on your face
Caus this town is a fine, fine place
Say “morning’ Neighbor” with a smile on your face
Caus this town is a fine, fine place
Say “morning’ Neighbor” with a smile on your face
Say “morning’ Neighbor” with a smile on your face
Say “morning’ Neighbor” with a smile on your face
Say “morning’ Neighbor” with a smile on your face
Say “morning’ Neighbor” with a smile on your face

The Grind
05:19
|
|||
9 hours a day, 45 a week, 180 a month 2,160 a year
If you started at 16 that's 108,000 hours of your life
Exchanging your time, for money that's fake
To buy things to eat, and shit you don't need
Distractions galore, and a place to sleep
Trapped cogs in the machine
You're friends and family, are a sweet memory
A slave to your boss
When they're slaves themselves
You’ve been added to the daily grind
You tell yourself it’s just the daily grind
Your part of the daily grind
Our time on this planet, is finite and small
Yet spend so much of it, working for nothing at all
And when you retire, you think the rat race will end
But the cost of life keeps growing
And you're to old to fight
So are you going to spend it as a wage slave
Or stand up & refuse to cave
This is your life, it's the only one you have
Will they work you to death
Or will you curse them with your last breath
For the daily grind
Get chewed up for the daily grind
It's fine honey it's the daily grind
This is the life that they sold you on
This is the life that they sold you on
This is the life that they sold you on
This is the life that they sold you on
Is this what you're here for
Slaving away while the bosses make more
Or will you take a stand and say
I won't be part of your daily grind
It's just another daily grind
Your part of the daily grind
9 hours a day, 45 a week, 180 a month 2,160 a year.
108,000 hours of your life, you fed to be part of the daily grind.
