You rise and shine at 6 a.m. and grab your phone that’s near
Start surfin’ on the internet, to prove the world’s still here
Like Pavlov’s dog your mind starts drooling for another hit
Of daily posts and pop-up ads and self improvement shit
We’ll ride the waves of radiation, phones security blankets for a mental vacation
Of tweet and likes and pings and pongs and pangs, your need for…electronic pablum
Your boss just left the office and you quickly plug back in
You feel the bliss of radio waves penetrate your skin
You swear it ain’t addiction man, there are no side effects
‘Til your girlfriend dumps your ass again, for texting during sex
We’ll ride the waves of radiation, phones security blankets for a mental vacation
Of tweet and likes and pings and pongs and pangs your need for….electronic pablum
Your posts on Instagram, you do it for the LIKES!
A Twitter sending spam, you do it for the LIKES!
1000 Facebook friends, you do it for the LIKES!
YouTube motherfucker! You'll do it for the LiiiiiiiiiKES!!!!!
You heard a ring and felt a ping, you gotta see what’s up
Your dopamine is running low, you gotta to fill your cup
Oblivious to what’s around, you look down at your screen
And step into the street, colliding with a limousine

Four decades of decline by America's elite
Brought this country to its knees and pulled rug out from our feet
They sent away our jobs
For foreign container ships
Breaking the middle class
As our civil rights get stripped
Tens of millions in devastation
Like a plague that's consuming the nation
People broken at every turn
It's time to light the match
And Let America Burn
Let America Burn
Let America Burn
Let America Burn
People are sick and dying in this country every day
Strung out, broke and hungry is the new American way
We have to take their power
We have to unseal our fate
It's time for us to rise up
Against this fascist police state
Tens of millions in devastation
Like a plague that's consuming the nation
People broken at every turn
It's time to light the match
And Let America Burn
Let America Burn
Let America Burn
Let America Burn
Burn
Burn
Burn
Burn
Burn
Burn
Burn
Burn

Staircase, living in a dark place
Found dead in a hallway
and there’s nothing left to escape
from here how do i even get there
Roads closed streets bare
ghosts living everywhere
here i am my veins exposed I’m not young my skin feels cold
bear this cross you’ve cut yourself drink my blood just to my health
Vision blurred
can’t touch the tail
take another chance
and lay waste to all
that’s left to burn
panic and churn
close the gates and kill the lights
clouds break there’s black rain on my face
leave the town burn the scrub
cut the wires and live like...
never sleep
choke me to death in peace
take another for the pain
nobody stays for free from this
there ain’t nothing here to miss
save for just a little kiss
bitten off my lip

I got something to say, something to say to you
But you can't hear me, you're talking too
We're either sick or it's a trick
A trick and we are falling
You're brickwalling me and I'm slow walking you
Now the only way to deal is to force it through
To make a dent, we sell consent
It's all that we can do
Oh how have we forgot, of all those lessons taught
How the shared minds of man, gave us all the good we got
And we have got so lost, abandoned hope too often
We just keep on walking until we drop into a coffin
You're being sold a line, I'm being sold one too
But it's not the same one, we gotta find the truth
The benefits that exist, well beneath the smokescreen
There is a master plan, it's not hard to see
It's weight is bearing down, it's how they succeed
They divide, then they sever
Those who stand together
Hey, I talk, talk, talk to you, but you don't hear a thing
You think I'm full of shit, so you're not listening
Oh how have we forgot, of all those lessons taught
How the shared minds of man, gave us all the good we got
And we have got so lost, abandoned hope so often
We just keep on walking out
I got something to say, you got ideas too
There was a common ground, that we once knew
I'll listen to you, you'll listen to me
Thats how we'll fix this thing
I'll listen to you, you'll listen to me
Thats how we'll fix this thing

Stumble to the liquor store
I only have 15 bucks I wish I had some more
One 6 pack might do the trick
Some people have their vices but this will be my fix
Whoa whoa whoa drinking on and on again
Whoa whoa whoa take another shot again
Late nights at the punk rock show
Still here hanging with all my bros
And nows the time to livin' up
Cuz you're all like me, a bunch of crazy drunks

How 'bout we take a flight to France
The plane will crash and we'll poop our pants
Just kidding that'll never happen to us
Because we've got our own show, oh no
This is a real piece of junk
I thought it would be much nicer
I want the Ted Danson plane
Kramer stop jumping around
There's water in my ear and I can't get it out
It's just not safe you big idiot
And now we're going down
This is a real piece of junk
I thought it would be much nicer
I want the Ted Danson plane
The pilots are back
And we are safe
Let us not go on adventures again
This is a real piece of junk
I thought it would be much nicer
I want the Ted Danson plane
This is a real piece of junk
Get on the phone tell NBC
To send the Ted Danson plane

ONE TWO THREE FOUR!
I never subscribe to punkrock ideals,
To tell you the truth, I’m way more fucking real,
Think on my own, I’m the one who decides,
There’s no place where my affiliation lies!
And there’s no way to change your mind,
I still try even though it’s a waste of time!
And there’s no way to change your mind,
I still try even though it’s a waste of time!
Political party, Political party, Political party, Where’s the keg?
Political party, Political party, Political party, Where’s the keg?
Nothing's weaker than always agreeing,
With everything one of those talking heads says,
You're nothing better than an apologist,
Wish we could cut you off like an infected cyst!
And there’s no way to change your mind,
I still try even though it’s a waste of time!
And there’s no way to change your mind,
I still try even though it’s a waste of time!
Political party, Political party, Political party, Where’s the keg?
Political party, Political party, Political party, Where’s the keg?
Political party, Political party, Political party, Where’s the keg?
Political party, Political party, Political party, Where’s the keg?
You’re better off without the opinions you formulate,
Using the internet to masturbate,
Whole damn feeds full of shitposts and memes,
It’s so damn stupid it makes me want to scream!
And there’s no way to change your mind,
I still try even though it’s a waste of time!
And there’s no way to change your mind,
I still try even though it’s a waste of time!
Political party, Political party, Political party, Where’s the keg?
Political party, Political party, Political party, Where’s the keg?
Political party, Political party, Political party, Where’s the keg?
Political party, Political party, Political party, Where’s the keg?

We’ve got nothing to lose!
Our pack fits right,
I feel alright,
let’s shake up the rules.
I really want you to stay!
The timing fits,
let’s go for it,
we’re dead anyway!
Your love it hurts, so cold
Come on let’s shake it up, so bold
WOW
Let’s do it fast before it gets old,
I love it
You’re leaving
I’m bleeding
I’m sold!
It’s almost over now,
It wasn’t really what I thought it would be anyhow.
You’re right, it’s all a joke,
Let’s sit in it for a minute and then let it go,
Oh, whattaya know?
I’m running for the door again,
You’ve gone and shown yourself,
You’re not a friend.
We’ve got nothing to lose!
Our pack fits tight,
I feel alright,
We’re chill and we’re cool.
I really want you to stay!
I’m feeling sore,
Can’t take no more,
We’re dead anyway.
You’re love it hurts, so cold
Come on let’s shake it up, so bold
WOW
Let’s do it fast before it gets old,
I love it
You’re leaving
I’m bleeding
I’m sold.

Zakryvaesh glaza na to chto proiskhodit

Pogryaz v kreditax no vsegda adet po mode

Ot vstrechnogo menta boishsa poluchit po morde

Stelishsa pered nachalstvom za nagradu
Boishsa otvetit na bespredel vlasti
Tak bystro zabyvaesh tex kto byl s toboi rrrrryadam.

Some people live with a disease, but
they wouldn't call it that as such
Can't get enough and no idea,
No fucking clue of way too much
Rich getting richer people poorer
It's a disturbing global trend
One Hundred Thousand percent sure that
This won't work out well in the end
Chorus
There's no such thing as an overdose
No such thing as "do not need"
No sense turning back, once the orange light has found you
All we have is greed
Can't get a grip can't get a reason
The system has you on your knees
Wish we could change it all, but the
People don't run democracies
Chorus
Don't let the sirens nab you
Don't let desire grab you
We've got a chance now, but
The hour is getting late

I went outside today, took the kids out to play,
The one thing that I can afford.
This shit ain’t right, but still I fight,
Having to work three jobs or more.
I’ve got my rights, my human rights.
But without fair pay I can’t make rent today.
I won’t lose sight, but still I know,
I’m living on Poverty Row.
Woke up at 4am, head out to work again,
For another sixteen hour day.
I don’t make ends meet, the kids gotta eat…..so,
I won’t eat a proper meal today.

From when you're born 'til when you're dead
I guarantee you'll butt some heads
while trying to conjure up some sense
of hurtling through nothingness
So find yourself a patch of dirt where you can grow your roots,
Solidified in what you've proclaimed universal truths,
And all opposing force is met with the heel of your boots
Down in the echo chamber
in the echo chamber
Revel in your shepherd-less flock,
Embrace the death of dialogue
Cuz words are sacred, talk is cheap
as you cling for dear life to beliefs
When argument surfaces it's condemned as void and null
while you're surrounded by like-minded individuals,
And thank fuck you found this school of thought and harnessed some control
Down in the echo chamber,
in the echo chamber
A self-assured ideal's the toughest nut to crack
when you're huddled 'round each other patting yourself on the back
And you'd never stoop so low
to admit you might not know
When it's black and white, why ever look that close?

You feel sorry for yourself
For being where you are
You've destroyed what you had
Because it seemed not enough
Exponentially growing
Your disappointment and your sorrow
Chorus
Can we just be strong enough
To stop feeling sorry
Go on with our lives
Let’s just pretend for one day
We’ve never had problems we've never made mistakes
You keep falling into past
And losing your ground
Can you gain any trust
When no one's left around
Exponentially growing
Your disappointment and your sorrow

Another drink to change my mind I’m not fine til I’m blind
Another line yeah I’ll be fine, I decide when’s my time, I’ll cross that line
Now I lost myself I can’t break this
Never catch my breath I can’t shake this
Just d liver me from evil can’t hide this sickness
Escape myself, I hate myself
I’m never fine so blind declined last call before I fall
Can’t get it straight no rise and shine
It’s time I leave my mind, lost my mind
Now I lost myself I can’t break this
Never catch my breath I can’t shake this
Just d liver me from evil can’t hide this sickness
Escape myself, I’ve lost myself ,I hate myself, Escape myself, I’ve lost myself

Robert Plant and Jimmy Page
In their own way lived by the sword
They were masters of their age
Instead of killing they’d record
Songs they’d perform in disguise
As mortal beings of this race
Did we believe back in those times
That these guys deserved their fame
Our way is done
We know what everyone
Wants and it’s not us
Yeah we’re out of the club
I learnt guitar, oh how I trained
Like ninja spy prepared for war
The men I marked were all DJ’s
I thought alt rock could fill the floor
Guys like me yearn for the days
When drums were played by human beings
Seems like we were born too late
Despite our gifts we’ll go unseen
Hendrix!!!
Could throw a star!!!
He was an assassin an artist
His lethal weapon his guitar
Our way is done
We know what everyone
Wants and it’s not us
Yeah we’re out of the club
Even though we shred
We’re not afraid of death
It’s pumpin underground
Yeah you’ve won the best crowd
Our way is done x6
Were we born too late?
What we do, out of date?
Were we born too late?
Yeah we’re out of the club

Why does it seem that you always react when you see something out of your narrow view of the world? Dude, what feels right to you doesn’t make it the truth so get off our backs.
Why waste my breath when you actively resist and refuse to see that someone’s different way of life or experiences are theirs to lead?
You spout so much hate, the one way I relate is that I am disgusted to hear you spout homophobic and sexist rhetoric while claiming it’s warranted.
Why waste my breath when you actively resist and refuse to see that someone’s different way of life or experiences are theirs to lead?
I can’t believe that we have to defend what we eat, who we fuck, or how we present. It doesn’t really matter what we say anyway. Ignorance is deafening, you’re never gonna see it our way.
It seems really weird that you’re so full of fear when you see something queer that you gotta interfere. I admire your dedication to this one-way conversation. Here’s a truth I must admit: never gonna see it your way.
Why waste my breath when you actively resist and refuse to see that someone’s different way of life or experiences are theirs to lead?
And now I’ve made some enemies.

I pecked out his eyes a crow with a knife hellbent on a cide can’t decide what type
I gotta end a life my kids and my wife can meet me on the other side of bars
I’m polishing the scars merit badges let me know I’m still in control
Now I am here, here in my cell I’m speaking to god less often
But that can change I’ll rehabilitate and find him again
I’ll speak to him in faith and they’ll let me out so I can kill again
The Greyhound Killer
You thought it was safe to travel there and then you saw my cold dark stare
And now your head is mine
Now a ferry to the isle I’m cruising down the aisle
Gun in hand got a plan and a sinister smile
I’m laughing all the while the people I’m blowing away it’s easier this way
Take your last breath the angel of death is here
You thought it was safe to travel there and then you saw my cold dark stare
And now you fucking die

You sat me down and said you wanted to be friends
That the jig was up 6 months of lies
Instead of being honest, Why the fuck would be honestly
Ill pretend to be okay, so I said
Forgive me and forget that sour taste
You left in my mouth and all over
Misplaced my sympathy
As you're walking out on me and all our dreams
All our dreams
Chorus
And I won’t leave this disaster
And you won’t leave this bastard
I know it'll never be the same
I'm moving up, you're moving out of my damn place
I hope you drag your feet to your new destination
To nowhere, cuz you’re fucking up out there
You're just a ghost
A fucking ghost
I saw it coming, how could I not look at your face
These past 4 years were just a fucking waste of
Time, I’m giving in, to all the drugs I should have did
How could I know, I should have known
Chorus
And I won’t leave this disaster
And you won’t leave this bastard
I know it’ll never be the same
And I won’t leave this disaster
And you won’t leave this bastard
I know it’ll never be the same
