Another group of monster teenagers shot up their school today. What makes them do it? Video games? Marilyn Manson? Oh it can't be the parents, or the fact that schools sucks, or that
the jocks do get patted on the head every time they beat up the weirdo's and the jobs you get once you graduate are stupid, boring, meaningless, and a dead end to insanity.
I can't deny it's killing me, no one loses on TV. On TV.
When Sport Utiliy Vehicles are no longer enough...you need the TERMINATOR. Stuck in traffic in Lost Angeles? Drive over the tops of everybody else. You'll crush 'em before the
Cops can catch up with you. Your precious artifact shild needs to be safe, they're talking to a kid who's skin is a different colur? Grab the kid and mow 'em down!
Each new hot generation has a statemen they wanna call their own. Tattoos? Piercings? that's for Moms and Dads. What you want do is spend your allowance on Devil horn implats,
Elephand Man head, designer tails, third leg, fourth leg -- everyone a hermaphrodite! And on a lighter note...

Stagnant reason faceless pain it's in your desperate vein.
Borted fusion lifeless feelings in your borrowed hands.
Breath, let me - let me breath.

Muted waste within the scar thought kills the feeble mind.


Destroy the fear left short to start commence the breed.
Breath, let me - let me breath.

Leave me now you soul polluter, leave me free.

Pictures with stagnant cancer, images of brutal man.
Vasecting, seething, despising, Beaten red faces extreme.
Run the streets, find the lame, red hands grasp at the air,
drowning faceless contest, propagating physical force.
Watch your thoughts drip from walls, injure, destroy.
Watch your thoughts drip from life to gratify, why?
Onlooking innocent silence, naked mental violence.
Forced to kneel in the gutter, displeasure confined to a room.
If strength where exchanged for weakness, your dominance for pain,
would walls be built for protection, or would your victims be named?

Watching the hit, I feel calm.
Crying and blood, try smell harm.
Back I go this mode of mind, you see me nice you see me kind.
My eyes strain, ablatant stain, this bloody picture, failing to scare.
Can't touch it, it goes through me.
Can't feel the hit, all I do is see.
The two sides of me, this square of glass,
watch from a distance, and let it all pass.

Don't wann be the boy, the denizen, the chump change. I don't wanna be the next step. Don't wanna be the toy, the jettison, the chump change. I don't wanna be the first step. 'Cause we
spet the last drop.
Who decides if it's alright? I said, who decides if it's alright? Can't touch me, completely, reduction so easy. You can't touch me, not completely; your reduction is so easy.
Don't wanna be the son, the citizen, the chump change. I don't wanna be the next step. Don't wanna be the same, the medicine, the chump change I don't wanna be the first up. 'Cause we
spent the last drop.
I wanna tell you this, I wanna make you dive. I wanna be the big fish; I wanna see you fry. Yeah, see you fry. Chump change. And I spent the last drop. Chump change.

i don't understand.
no i don't understand.
(excuse me).
why everything's so lame.
why everyone's so wasted.
why everything's so tame.
why everyone's so sordid.
it's got to be your civilised societies (you got nothing for me).
no cheating?
no lies?
it's go

Complications, I get what you need. I said degradation, could you
slip to your knees?
"Stop the game, stop the game," That's all we did, that's all we
said. Could you know that we never show the...
Don't bother sending your condescension. If it's easier to keep
pretending.
Isolations, I stick to the scene. I said deviation's not as fun as it
seems.
"Not the same, not the same," that's all you said, that's all you
did, could you know we never go for...
It's not that complicated. We're not that deviated. It's not that
complicated.

Multinational sitcom rating, inoffensive (self-effacing). The fountain of light infotainment, will never run dry. Another lunchbreak, another crisis. The bombs are smarter, the teeth are
whiteness. Pay per view, and we will never lose, when all channles 69.
And they'll put it right, keep it right, help you sleep at night.
Who grew up to be the dead battery? You wanna run me down and get shot of me? Who grew up to be the dead battery? You wanna run me down?
Another stitch up, another suture Johnny was right when he said no future. Put it straight so the dogs relate, wish you're brain dead TV skive.
Where's the peace? I forgot to mention, back on yer feet 'cause we die to attention. Put it right or we can just sit tight? No sentience saved my soul. Another scandal, another sighting, give
us a break and we'll all be fighting. Satisfied that we'll all be fried, but at least not look old.

I see this look, I see this sad look.
And all I do, all I seem to do.
I just adopte you this same face, the same face.
Reaction forced. Theres nothing there.

And its always, always, always the same.

Torn apart, screetching down.
Its all there. And its all there.

And if I don't, then it wont. And if I don't, then it wont.
Tell me how, how, how to feel.

Bleeding throw, crunching down.
Wasted conection, conection

And its always, always, always the same.

My shards defy you.
And I feel you pushing down.
And its all there. Its all there.

And if I don't, then it wont. And if I don't, then it wont. Tell me how, how, how to feel.

I will not be forced down, I see this passive rage.
Take this, you take this.

And its always, always, always the same.

you are disposable means, and this is not what it seems.
untouchable, controllable, disposable (i chose them all).
'cause you need to censor your dreams.

You can't touch this dream, you can't make this scene
You can't change a thing, watch me, watch me, watch me
Turn things 'round, you can't make this sound
We can't change a thing, watch me, watch me, watch me

And I'd like to rise above you
And I'd like to see you falling

Down, feeling
Down, nothing
Down, your feeling
Down, is nothing

You can't light this fuse, we're not safe to choose
You can't make a stand, watch me, watch me, watch me
Can't burn the pages, it's not sent in stages
You can't change a thing, watch me, watch me, watch me

And I'd like to rise above you
And I'd like to see you falling

Down, feeling
Down, nothing
Down, your feeling
Down, is nothing

And I'd like to see you falling

Down, feeling
Down, nothing
Down, your feeling
Down, is nothing

Down...

Tear my face control my skin, fevered walls give sweat and scape.
Pierce my scalp with brittle force, arch your lying white light moves.

Saturate breath all to crawl, seize my shaking hands bear down.
Swell of face infected taste stop this swollen pain I fear.

This dry feeling rising within me.

Germinate hate cover of face, grip my twisted, back inflamed.
Irrigate fear stayed block out dirt I taste your darkened lies.

Ache scatter smash irrigate, feel the liquid flows of force.
Arch your lying white light moves, I must endure.

This dry feeling rising within me.

V1:
Everything's fucked again - well those are harsh words my friend.
Just tell me some things never change - just tell me we're o2000'.
Everything's fucked again - but go back sleep my good friends.
You don't think they'd ever let us down? - you don't think that we'd.
Remember?

Everything's fucked again - but don't let it get ya my friends.
Just tell me it's the first time - no tamagochi headline.
Everything's fucked again? - but then what the hell would I know?
It's just omillennial dementia' - just my stupid magazines'.

Chr:
We got nothing to see - we got nothing to do.
We got nothing to take - we got nothing to lose.
And there's nothing we like - and there's nothing we need.
You got nothing to say - cause I'm telling you: everything's fucked!

V2:
Everything's fucked again - well these are dark days my friend.
Just tell me all those pretty lies - protect me from the downsized.
Everything's fucked again - but we'll play out happy to the end.
We'll all be paid in kind - no contributions this time.

Chr:
We got nothing to see - we got nothing to do.
We got nothing to take - we got nothing to lose.
And there's nothing we like - and there's nothing we need.
You got nothing to say - cause I'm telling you: everything's fucked!

M8:
But don't let it get you down,
Ocos we'll put it back the next time.
Just don't let it get you down.

Everything's fucked again - well those are harsh words my friend.
Just tell me some things never change - just tell me we're 2000'.

Chr:
(we got nothing to see) - we got nothing to do
(we got nothing to take) - we got nothing to lose
(and there's nothing we like) - and there's nothing we need
You got nothing to say - ocause I'm telling you: everything's fucked! [x2]

Everything's fucked again -- Well those are harsh words my friend. Just tell me "some things never chane" -- Just tell me we're 2000. Everything's fucked again -- But go back to sleep my
good friends. "You don't think they'd ever let us down?" -- "You don't think that we'd remember?" Everything's fucked again -- But don't let it get ya my friends. Just tell me it's the first
time -- NO Tamagotchi headline. Everything's fucked again? -- But then what the hell would I know? It's just Millennial dementia -- Just my stupid magazines.
We got nothing to see -- We got nothing to do. We got nothing to take -- We got nothing to lose. And there's nothing we like -- And there's nothing we need. You got nothing to say -- 'cause
I'm telling you everything's fucked.
Everything's fucked again -- Well these are dark days my friend. Just tell me all those pretty lies -- Protect me from the downsized. Everything's fucked again -- But we'll play out happy to
the end. We'll all be paid in kind -- No contributions this time. But don't let it get you down, 'cause we'll put it back the next time. Just don't let it get you down.

Tears in my throat.
Fear in my eyes.
We drive, we drive.

Forget the fact that you don't know me. 'Cause there's nothing that you wanna know. Forget the fact that you won't show me. 'Cause there's nothing that you wanna show. Forget the fact
that I don't look like you. You keep singing "we don't change." Forget the fact this is nothing new.
Forget the violence, forget the pain. Our happy meals will taste the same. Forget the scandal, forget the sleaze. We'll drag the real thing to it's knees.
Forget the fact that I don't know you. When there's nothing I wanna know. Forget the fact that I won't go too. 'Cause there's nothing if I wanna go.. Forget the fact that this is nothing new.
And then we'll smile as we devise a brand new peace prize. Cash Back euthanasia schemes, GM children, low fat dreams. Jerry Springer, crack cocaine, another black box, another
plane. Instant access to friendly fire, plastic bullets, green barbed wire.

Gave mental calm, disposed for pain.
Distant advance ,animate shame.
Justify worth, stolid obtainer.
Dominate false, your artificial gain.
Skin, stone, rage, force.
Appease me, scratch maul, burning cut, harsh grind.
Abuse resource, irritate thought, deficient lack, severe depraver.

Grating, scratching- desperate sounds.
Feels like this - spineless .
Hope versus hope, it's inside.
Pure hate pure love all there.

Gritter, feels like this.

Drag your nails, feel the sound.
Compelled to necessity - inside.
Teeth on edge, the only days.
Etch a mark - soul maker.

Gritter, feels like this.

Drag your nails, desperate sounds.
Feels like this, earsplit ground.

Gritter, feels like this.

Void of spirit drip away.
Abhor and recoil just there.

Gritter, feels like this, gritter feels like this.

Hidden agenda is bigger than you, I said, fit the pieces you make the moves. Hidden agenda is bigger than you.
And you, and you, and you...
What you gonna do?
Now we're sentience no one can lose. Hidden agenda is bigger than you. I said, here's the freedom, you made the news. Hidden agenda's still bigger than you.
And be thankful that it's all the same. It's the highest scoring losers game. And don't regret it, just forget it too. Hidden agenda is bigger than you -- Now what you gonna do?

i don't care what you do.
productiondestruction, it's nothing new.
and i don't care what you say, to die forto buy for, it's all the same.
i don't care if it's 'new and improved' i said i don't like it.
i don't care if it's 'life-time guaranteed.'

Gripping the sweat in my hands, your voice makes my ears bleed.
Desperate, self consciousness, in this room there is no air.
Broken, you cover your burns.
Questions I feel the hate in your mind, cutting me.
Scared of rejection starve me, with your perfect lies.
Persuasion, it will fail you need force to make me beg.
Appointed power in your head, can't allow these attitudes.

I'd appreciate it very much if you'd just... And I'd appreciate it very much if you'd just... And I'd appreciate it very much if you'd just... And I'd appreciate it very much if you'd just...drop
dead.
Then shut the fuck up, just take it all away. Anything, just "keep it clean, keep it clean," I said.
You "keep it clean" -- you do OK. You play the smile you make the day. You "keep it clean," -- you do alright. You tow the line there's not fight.

Hate, I hate, you mother fucker.
Drown, bleed, I wish you would.

Systematic abuse on a daily basis. You?re a racist (you don?t know why?)
Evidence of your intrusions ,multiplied by my contusions,
you can?t suture the future (though you may try)
Because we?re cut, dried, microwaved
safe in the knowledge we?ll all be saved

I took my time, got myself degraded
I close my eyes, see you suffocating
We took our chances, well, it's always a start
Look at our faces, tell me

We're not sleeping, not sedating
Misdirection, overrated

I set the fire while you demonstrated
I close my eyes 'cause it's so frustrating
I wanna touch it but it's always the same
Look at our faces, tell me

We're not sleeping, not sedating
Misdirection, overrated

I took my time, I closed my eyes
We took our chances
Look at our faces, tell me

We're not sleeping, not sedating

I bet you both, I bet you both -- you make the most. I set the scene, I set the scene -- I'll make you clean.
You can waste your time this time. Yes, you can waste your time not mine.
Because I'm never letting go. You know there's nothing else to be. I can't give up for you this time. You know I gotta set the scene.
I set you straight, I set you straight -- I take the bait. I set the scene, I set the scene -- I'll make you clean. I gotta set the scene, this.

Can't see the matches, woods are too full of trees
Can't make the distance 'cause it's difficult to breath
Keep burning bridges, but the stakes just get higher
I said the emancipation is just fuel for the fire

You know it's all right if it's all right
We can break it on our own if you'll just give us time
It's all right if it's all right
We can burn all our bridges, it'll be just fine
If you'll just give us time

Can't walk the pavement, carbon's choking the streets
Can't make the rent because we're burning CD's
Keep stealing time, but then the rates just get higher
I said the incriminations are just fuel for the fire

You know it's all right if it's all right
We can break it on our own if you'll just give us time
It's all right if it's all right
We can burn all our bridges, it'll be just fine
If you'll just give us time, well, it'll be just fine

We don't lie and we don't lie, no we don't lie
We don't lie and we don't lie, no we don't lie down
You know it's all right if it's all right
We can break it on our own if you'll just give us time

You know it's all right if it's all right

Was it something I said?
But I don't even know you
Was it something I did?
And if it was, then just tell me
If you show me no soul
Then you give me no reason

Stand up straight when I walk
You can see me?
Kick all the dust that you want
You know you're never gonna

Shut us down, shut us down
Shut us down, shut us down
We'll just get back up again
And if you shut us down, shut us down
Shut us down, shut us down
We'll just get back up again

If I gave you the tools
Could I temper my freedom?
And if I suffered the fools
Would you let me succeed in
Contructing my soul
Should I give you the reason?

Stand up straight when I walk
You can see me?
Kick all the dust that you want
You know you're never gonna

Shut us down, shut us down
Shut us down, shut us down
We'll just get back up again
And if you shut us down, shut us down
Shut us down, shut us down
We'll just get back up again

No matter what you say
We're gonna get back up again
No matter what you do
We're gonna stand up straight again
No matter what you say
We're gonna get back up again
No matter what you do
We're gonna stand back up again

Shut us down, shut us down
Shut us down, shut us down
We'll just get back up again
And if you shut us down, shut us down
Shut us down, shut us down
We'll just get back up again

And if you shut us down, shut us down,
Shut us down, shut us down
We'll just get back up again

And if you shut us down, shut us down
We'll just get back up again

And if you shut us down, shut us down
We'll just get back up again

Stimulation, walk tall, retention, arrogance, your ways, diseased.
Plastic and skin adopted, a lowered compulsion abstract.
Stop and start bright image, you adopt your animal desire.
Your burnt out head is narrow, eyes accept the bond.
Unclean, obscene, burnt out.
Paper and flesh concented, the following is blind.
Malignant scent of picture, refuse form turn page.
Reason obscene indulgence, exert force on stained.

I slip when eat, I slip when I slip
Fall down to my knees, I slip when I seem
I slip when I see you, kick when I fall through
I slip when I seem, I slip when I

See you coming, step aside (you step aside)
And I slip when I see you coming every time (it's every time)

I slip when I need, I slip when I feed
Emphatic disease, I slip when I seem
I slip through the meaning, tripped on the feeling
I slip when I seem, I slip when I

See you coming step aside (you step aside)
And I slip when I see you coming every time (it's every time)

It's every time, you do what's right
You step aside - I said you kick it

You can't break us, don't waste your time
Keep myself in a modern mind
You can't take us to severed scenes
Kill yourself on the medicines

And I slip when I see you coming step aside (you step aside)
And I slip when I see you coming every time (it's every time)

You may be the stronger now, but my time will come around. I said you may be the stronger now, but my time is coming round.
Taste it. Break it. I know you hate it. Take it, make it, I know you hate it.
I won't be much longer now, you hold tight I'm coming round. I said I won't be much longer now, you hold tight, I'm coming round.
And you can't keep it a secret, but you can keep it down. You know that no one really cares until it comes around.
You may be the stronger; you may be the stronger now.

bet ya, they're gonna get ya.
sooner, later, one way or another.
"yes please" i wanna see the achilles species down on its knees.
yes sir they're gonna save us
(
subject to status).
absolution guaranteed
(
for a small additional fee) and the first will

If we were sanitised before your eyes, super-clean
Would you remember when I said, "They're gonna getcha"?
Sooner, later, one way or another

So let go, I said so
Our time to shine, nothing's gonna stop us
If you sit tight, we all right
High times to climb, you know nothing's gonna stop us now

Well, this time we're taking sides, gonna finish our final scenes
Do you remember when I said, "I'm gonna get mine"?
Innovate/imitate, oh, what's the difference

So let go, I said so
Our time to shine, nothing's gonna stop us
If you sit tight, we all right
High times to climb, you know nothing's gonna stop us now

And it's the appreciation of imitations, so it seems
Do you remember when I said, "They're gonna save us"?
Yes sir, well I tried, it's now or never

So let go, I said so
Our time to shine, nothing's gonna stop us
If you sit tight, we all right
High times to climb, you know nothing's gonna stop us now

Nothing's cool, nothing's clean, nothing's like it used to be. Nothing's sweet, nothing's smooth, nothing's got the best of me.
And no one's scared, 'cause no one cares now nothing's got a place to be. And no one cares, 'cause no one dares, and nothing's gonna comfort me.
You're wafer thin, you do me in, say nothing like you used to be. You're wafer thin, you do me in, stay nothing like the rest of me.
Nothing's right, nothing's sane, nothing's how it could've been. Nothing's straight, nothing's pure, yeah nothing's what it should've been.

They gotta brush you aside, make up the time
Stick to the scene, make the masses so clean
We know
They gotta tell you who's right ? tell me I'm wrong
Two puppets, one hand and a heart-felt song
We know, we know, we know, we know

'Cause we've been down this road before
If the word is broken, will it bring you down?
Yeah, we've been down this road before
When the world is choking, will it bring you down?
Yeah, we've been down this road before
Will it bring you?

It's "eyes front" in a nation of disinformation
Right from the start, keep us all in the dark
We know, we know, we know, we know
We jumped ship on the saviour of modern behaviour
Swallowed the blame, make us always the same
We know, we know, we know, we know

'Cause we've been down this road before
If the word is broken, will it bring you down?
Yeah, we've been down this road before
When the world is choking, will it bring you down?

We got sanitised for the plastic dream
It's the best no sell-out that you've ever seen
Another dead man walking in the cash machine
Never lost sight of the holy green, oh no

A big business to bleed, down on your knees
Something to see, well you said it, whatever
You keep dropping the tone

Another snap-shot winner on the silver screen
It's the best no talent that you've ever seen
And if I said I'm not sorry, would you know what I mean?
Never lost sight of the holy green, oh no

A big business to bleed, down on your knees
Something to see, well you said it, whatever
You keep dropping the tone
More winners to save, a C on your grave
Nothing's for free, well you said it, whatever
Well, you're never alone

We got sanitised for the plastic dream
It's the best no sell-out that you've ever seen
Another dead man walking in the cash machine
Never lost sight of the holy green, oh no

A big business to bleed, down on your knees
Something to see, well you said it, whatever
You keep dropping the tone
More winners to save, a C on your grave
Nothing's for free, well you said it, whatever
Well, you're never alone
