In a bleak house up on fifth
Sits the man with the plan yeah he’s got the gift
Gonna fix your life gonna fix them all
Gonna keep them out gonna build that wall
And all the kids in the brown shirts say
You can run but you can’t hide from American apartheid
You can run but you can’t hide from American apartheid
Hear him now it’s a modest proposal
Bleach the chrome go down on Saint Mary
Dig deep for that perfect meme
Take the gold and all the lead you can carry
If they matter we must matter less
Gotta keep ‘em in line gotta throw ‘em in jail
Some warriors can’t take the hint
The war is over check your rape mail
And all the kids in the brown shirts say
You can run but you can’t hide from American apartheid
You can run but you can’t hide from American apartheid
Torture works and torture words
In his head it’s all the same
Watch the glaciers melt watch the cities burn
In the end you know we’re all to blame
And all the kids in the brown shirts say
You can run but you can’t hide from American apartheid
You can run but you can’t hide from American apartheid
Apartheid America

Spiked Kiss

I know I should say no and go but
She draws me in with that look in her eyes
Spiked kiss gonna fix this broken life
Hot rush as she wraps me up in her lies
Pain is gone gonna move right on tonight
So low doesn’t matter with these highs
Prophets scream in my dreams of a better life
She calls out now time to say goodbye
I know I should say no and go but
She draws me in with that look in her thighs
Spiked kiss gonna fix this fucked up life
Hot rush as she wraps me up in her lies
Pain’s gone gonna pass right on tonight
So low you know she don’t care with these highs
Profits scream in her dreams of a better time
She calls out now time to say goodbye

The people crying out
The people on their knees
Can’t afford their medication
Can’t afford their social disease
Denial such a beautiful thing
Promises to put them at ease
Give us power what we want
Come on hand over the crown
Never mind what you need
We’ll always let you down down down down down
Go back go back, back to the mines
Gonna get you right where we want you
Who needs an education
We all need something to do
We’ve got such a glorious future
More for me and less for you
Give us power what we want
Come on hand over the crown
Never mind what you need
We’ll always let you down down down down down

Deepest Fears
05:38
|
|||
|
Against the wall
Against the table
Almost in
Your deepest fears
Deceit
Incorporation
The cards rein down
From above the streets
Against the wall
Against the table
Almost in
Your deepest fears

Rampancy
03:48
|
|||
|
The way grows dim
Cut through the deeping sky
Down to the crushing center
Spared the dance forever
Slavery unfold
Thoughts and prayers untold
Despair grips tight
Tonight or never
Unlost and found
The rage against the change
Yearning burning down the house
With all so deathly
Push it down into the ground
Till it fights no more
Anger showed the light
Sympathy to envy
Cut the cord and run away
Errands for fools
Outgrown outlived
Another system burned
The fates come calling
Falling away into the sun
Jealousy so strange
Some thing were never learned

Holocaust

Please take me home to the holocaust
Where the idiots run and the children die
In the holocaust the killers trust
And the pills you take make you fly
Take me home to the holocaust
Where the clowns juggle their broken crown
In the holocaust I fear we must
Burn this circus down down down down
Burn it down
Burn it down...
Burn it down
Burn it down...
Please take me home to the holocaust
Where the idiots run and the children die
In the holocaust the killers trust
And the pills you take make you fly
Take me home to the holocaust
Where the clowns juggle their broken crown
In the holocaust I fear we must
Burn this circus down down down down
Burn it down
Burn it down...
Burn it down
Burn it down
Down...
