Oppression
Oppression you pray on us when we sleep oppression you chase after the tired the poor the weak oppression you know you mean only harm oppression you reach out with your long arm but oppression I won't let you near me oppression you shall learn to fear me oppression you seek population control oppression to divide and to conquer is your goal oppression I swear that hatred is your home oppression you just won't leave bad enough alone but oppression I won't let you near me oppression you shall learn to fear me oppression I don't see how you sleep oppression for your bleeding conscience I weep oppression you may have the dollar on your side but oppression from the gospel truth you cannot hide and oppression I won't let you near me oppression you shall learn to fear me oppression I won't let you near me oppression you shall fear me |

Ground on Down
I believe in a few things God the devil and love cause I've looked up from the bottom and I've stared down from above I have faith in a few things divinity and grace but even when I'm on my knees I know the devil prays and you're working your way from the ground on down I hate to say I love you because it means that I will be with you forever or will sadly say goodbye I love to say I hate you because it means that I will live my life happily without you or will sadly live a lie and you're working your way from the ground on down life is short and if your lookin' for extension with your time you had best do well cause there's good deeds and there is good intention they're as far apart as heaven and hell and you're working your way from the ground on down |

Another Lonely Day
Yes indeed I'm alone again and here comes emptiness crashing in it's either love or hate I can't find in between cause I've been with witches and I have been with a queen it wouldn't have worked out any way so now it's just another lonely day further along we just may but for now it's just another lonely day wish there was something I could say or do I can resist anything but temptation from you but I'd rather walk alone than chase you around I'd rather fall myself than let you drag me down it wouldn't have worked out any way and now it's just another lonely day further along we just may but for now it's just another lonely day yesterday seems like a life ago cause the one I love today I hardly know you I held so close in my heart oh dear grow further from me with every fallen tear it wouldn't have worked out any way so now it's just another lonely day further along we just may but for now it's just another lonely day |
