We Want The Truth
Abused used the way we felt dirt cheap the way
you dealt talk talk nothing's said speeches promises don't mean a thing
empty words from your mouth token actions gave you clout time's now to
end your luck no more talks cause we don't give a fuck about your alibis,
about your lies and all your excuses think we can't handle it think we
would cave in, why don't you try it no more stories, no more double talk
and no more cover ups, we just want the truth abused used the way we felt
dirt cheap the way you dealt talk talk nothing's said speeches promises
don't mean a thing empty words from your mouth no one cares what it's about
in the past give us proof no more talks, we just want the truth and what
about the youth never told the truth never told what it's all about it's
all about the wealth there's no one there to help and everyone's looking
out for themselves put our faith in you and our trust too have you no conscience?
we know the story, it's money and glory don't care who you step on no more
speeches, no time for apologies we heard it all before all of your alibis,
all about your lies and all your excuses think we can't handle it think
we would cave in, think we can't take it no more stories, no more double
talk no more cover ups, we just want the truth.
Locomotive
trapped in a rut and i can't get out don't see
a way to be free working at it everyday nothing that i do or say can break
my poverty my desperate eyes will close tonight and i hope i won't feel
a thing cause i know tomorrow i'll continue with my sorrow and my desperate
eyes will sting i don't understand, is it some kind of plan to keep us
in our places no matter how we try, no matter how we strive we just can't
seem to get ahead same old stuff all over again but necessity keeps me
here every week that passes i'm gettin' weaker, faster i'm living in constant
fear suffering is at an all time high and they tell me i'm a lucky man
if lucky is to suffer, then i wish it on another and i really don't give
a damn day in day out, feeling the grind someway, somehow, gonna leave
it behind day in day out, feeling the grind someway, somehow, gonna leave
it behind day in day out, feeling the grind someway, somehow, gonna leave
it behind.
The Pain Strikes
the pain strikes, the pain ascends too much to
comprehend come down, remove the breath come down, remove what's left loss
of the will to live, the loss of everything i know we'll say goodbye someday
goodbye said in an eternal way too precious just to throw away it's a waste,
such a waste, what a waste, you know i can't believe it's happening the
pain strikes, the pain's at hand too much to understand wind blow, remove
the pain wind blow, put out the flame you won't admit to the pain you've
submit to you fight it every inch of the way you don't deserve this, it's
such an injustice just watching you slip away you on the other hand - pathetic
i reprimand you for all the things you believe nobody wants to know what
you're up to when all you want to do is deceive.
Shut Me Out
pressure cooker about to explode the ignorant ones
are litenin' to fools radical factions add fuel to the fire to satisfy
their hateful desire we as the innocent suffer the most paying for crimes
we did not commit here to serve penance for history's sins detested for
something we've never been all their grandstands, all their big plans didn't
change a damn thing how could you explain i don't know your pain understanding
how you shut me out trust - is lost - we'll gain it back give us the chance
look in our past and what do you see history of violence for centuries
the truth isn't written in history's page this is the source of frustration
and rage we have no rights to ask for your trust to gain your acceptance
we'll do what we must we'll make a stand for whatever's right we'll make
a stand equal and tight shut me out... don't you shut me out... don't you
shut me out... don't you shut me out.
What's Goin' On?
does anybody realize what's goin' on take a look
around and you will see that we're destroying ourselves does everybody
out there have a chip on their shoulders? or is it that we've got
nothing, nothing better to do? beatings of five to one wasn't enough
now we're using everything from chains to knives and guns how much more
of this do we have to take before we realize it's such a senseless waste
does anybody out there hear the cries? of mothers who have lost their
children to your foolish games when are you gonna realize that it's all
just, just a senseless waste? you think that it's just a game well,
i've got one thing to explain someday your luck will fail then you'll wind
up dead or jailed.
Never Measure Up
no one can see you, no one can see no one can sense
humility no one can hear you, no one can hear inadequacy's in the air the
greatest fear for you to be exposed for all the world to see never measure,
never measure, never measure, never measure up. i know they see me,
i know they see i know they sense humility i know they hear me, i know
they hear now i face my greatest fear.
Just Look Around
the question they keep asking me how can one so
young be so bitter and angry well, the answer is plain to see maybe if
they wern't so blind they'd see what i see i see the homeless livin' out
on the street on every corner they're asking for money i try to help them
whenever i can but sometimes i can't afford to help myself i see diseases
and modern plagues of our times the greed of our leaders has made them
blind to our problems they spend millions overseas, people right here are
fightin' wars everyday i see the whites that hate the blacks blacks against
the jews, race against religion and the're all too blind to see when we
fight each other it puts all of them at ease it keeps us so busy, so they
can do what they please election time comes and they're out for votes that's
when you see and hear from them the most this is what they're calling a
democracy that's just another word for hypocrisy we keep fallin' for the
bait when we realize, it's always too late i see the whites that hate the
blacks blacks that hate the jews, brother against brother and they're all
to blind to see as the rich get richer, the poor goin' hungry i've seen
the toll it takes on the workingman's family education system that's obsolete
can't hold a kid's interest or keep 'em off the street see a father's fear,
hear a mother's cry what kind of a nation lets their children die government's
corrupt and full of red tape then you're gonna ask me why i hate why don't
you open up your eyes so you can see open up your ears so you can hear
take a look around and you will find take a look around and you will find
out why.
Violent Generation
hard times, is what we're in and it ain't getting
any easier my friends friends, search for the easy way out and they don't
care how it comes about youth, they just wanna get paid they don't wanna
end up working like slaves slavin', for nickels and dimes so they turn
to the quick money of crime morals are gone, no respect for human life
but what was it that you'd expect take a look around at this world we live
in tell me you wouldn't grow up cold and callous prejudice, is one of their
tools and we fell for it like a pack of fools fools, is what we are we
follow their plans to the letter so far each other, at the other's throat
they sit back, to them it's all a joke joke, but now the joke is on them
they can't deal with this generation so violent we stand accused of the
crimes the crimes that take place they point the finger but they're the
ones that set the pace they beat you down, to try to keep you in your place
they were the ones, they were the ones they were the ones that taught me
to hate.
The Shield
lowered my shield, lowered - defenses happier now
feeling - all senses heighten my soul and my - awereness isn't it great
being - defendeless a long time ago i was - protected the choise was mine
and i - selected the joy and the pain were - connected lowered my shield,
now i'm not protected i never used to let it down never used to let it
down i never used to let it down never used to let it there's something
i've got to see i never used to let it down never used to let it down i
never used to let it down never used to let it i've got to see what's realy
inside of me now i understand that emotion now i undrstand why ther's commotion
all this time without - a notion all this time without - devotion why waste
time being - suspicious come taste life it's - delicious expose yourself
to the - malicious expose yourself, they're - so vicious all these years
/ will this shield disappear and will i stand / a stronger man / no shield
in hand i'll have to overcome the pain the best that i can.
Now It's Gone
where'd go, how'd pass, when did we lose it that
was us, yesterday, runnin' 'round care free never thought it would end,
never thought about time now we stand, stand alone, not by choise, by fate
in my mind i can see visions of what used to be all the fun, the suffering,
was it just for memories as i reach out for my past, it disappears the
pain will last anger builds, i'm holding on it slips away / and / now /
it's / gone tighter than family, nothing could get in all but time, wore
away, things went by too fast ideals change, people change, friends are
gone moved on some of us, drift apart, and those hurt the most.
We Stand Alone
here it is, once again, tales of betrayal by the
ones we call our friends took us long to get where we are now we're told
what we've done is wrong we all started with something to say was it our
different views or jealousy in the way now you're the ones setting the
rules just like the establishment you're so against lay down your laws,
say what you will tell me i'm wrong and i'll defy you who are you to make
up rules and put us down? with our friends, we'll stay to the end
and if it comes down to it, we'll stand alone here it is once again, tales
of conformity by the ones who would be king we never set out to impress
anyone it's just an outlet, our chance to be heard at first you said we
hated to much now you say we just can't hate enough now you're screaming
that we've changed we've grown up but our beliefs are still the same it's
still an outlet for anger and strife but one more thing, it's also our
life (we) we don't need any help (stand alone) our beliefs are strong enough
to (stand alone) our desire's burning deep, in our hearts it's in ourheads,
it's in our souls (we) we defy your fucking lies (stand alone) you question
our beliefs (stand alone) our desire's burning deep, in our hearts it's
in our heads, it's in our souls (stand alone) ...we stand alone people
from the past, they dont want to hear us the ones they call our peers,
they just fear us ain't handin' no lies but reality comes off as cold what
you hear from me comes from deep down inside us this just ain't a song
of defiance, i'm just tellin' you how it goes ...we stand alone.
Will We Survive
there comes a time in our lives to ask the question
will we survive reach for a future within our grasp tryin' not to lose
hold of our past all these decisions comin' on got to keep perspective
of what's right and what's wrong bonds that were made, in the past hope
they survive, hope they will last cause it's your voices that make us strong
for that reason alone we must go on, we must go on so when the time comes
in our lives to ask the question, will we survive with all the shit that
we've been through there's only one answer that would be true we found
an outlet we can trust without this release i know we would bust took alot
of shit in our lives, made it thru time after time i know we will survive
we, we will survive we, we will survive.

locked out, and alienated lost, soul, is feared
and hated judged, scared, not comprehended waste, time, no more everyone's
reponsible to take precaution - be aware research is our best defense if
we ignore it we'll just fool ourselves your, lies, and misconception won't,
help, in their affliction learn, know, what's fact or fiction waste, time,
no more there's no more time for talk, we've got to see the reality that
surrounds us every day we can't ignore all the victims of the plague who've
been fighting for a future that's looking pretty, pretty vague we can't
deny it, we can deny it it just ain't right if we turn a blind eye the
truth will upset all of those who will let this apathy run their live,
cause... silence equals death silence equals death silence equals death.
