Comformity training center Seas of mindless brain dead kids Wandering lost forever What an education is
Don't speak out, don't make waves You get an education free Just play along with our games This system just ain't right for me Faculty not ready to accept our needs Schools geared to what parents want to see Knowledge comes second to doing what you're told We deny you exist we have an image to uphold
Obedient little classes In this fascist little high school world Encouraging apathy Get involved and you'll get burned
Student council chosen To meet the wishes, student needs Principal with veto power Sees these wishes meet defeat Faculty not ready to accept our needs Schools geared to what parents want to see Knowledge comes second to doing what you're told We deny you exist we have an image to uphold
Graduate or be cast out You can't fit in there is no doubt Just go get your GED 'Cause high school ain't right for me
What a shame you almost passed Sorry though you could not be last You have no chance to succeed Fuck you all, just watch and see Faculty not ready to accept our needs Schools geared to what parents want to see Knowledge comes second to doing what you're told We deny you exist we have an image to uphold
A vision of unselfishness, a union of black and white One nation of all races, it's clear within my sight I see it clear, no hate, no fear, no soldiers sent to die A state that's free and thrives on peace, no greed, no threat to life
We won't build the weapons of war which looms over your heads We'll not feed the war machines that lead our youth to death We won't close our eyes to the atrocities which abound
We won't stand and watch until we're six feet underground
The future is our burden, we can't stand and watch As the world around crumbles, opposing armies march We work towards our goal: one nation - unity And you must be the convert who works towards world peace
Muthafuckers around us who stand and say no way Opposing lessened armies, they say are here to stay But no one knows until we try, what we all can do I won't watch children die, it's up to me and you
Our world is divided, the boundaries have been drawn Ideas are decided by where you have been born You can't judge people by the government of their land They're flesh and blood like us - why don't you understand?
The future is our burden, we can't stand and watch As the world around crumbles, opposing armies march We work towards our goal: one nation - unity And you must be the convert who works towards world peace
Read my lips, I don't care what you say I might listen but I'll do it my own way Don't you see it don't mean nothing to me When all's said and done I'll stand on my two feet
Let me be I live by my own rules Independent, independence Can't you see it's my right to choose Independence, independent
Once they tried to teach Teach me all their rules I had my own ideas didn't fit in, In their schools Don't they see That we all have a brain There to learn Not to be whipped and tamed
Let me be I live by my own rules Independent, independence Can't you see It's my right to choose Independence, independent
Read my lips, I don't care what you say I might listen but I'll do it my own way Don't you see it don't mean nothing to me When all's said and done I'll stand on my two feet
Let me be I live by my own rules Independent, independence Can't you see It's my right to choose Independence, independent

Take the chance to manipulate Thier truth is simply what they create They'll put words inside you mouth Have no chance to spit them out
What you read What you see What you think Form their thought From their view From their ink
Opinions expressed are their views Colored versions of the truth It is fine to say what you think Why belive every word you read
What you read What you see What you think from their thought From their view From their ink
Don't belive a word they say you know it never could be true Anything they do or say is onlymeant to mislead you Don't belive a word they say They're only trying to get control of you
Take the chance to manipulate Their truch is simply what they create They'll put words inside you mouth Have no chance to spit them out
What you read What you see What you think From their thought From their view From their ink
I remember, every word you said I'll remember all until my dying day I can't forget just what you said meant But I'll try my best still anyway
Every promise broken I remember Don't ever think I don't Can't forgive can't forget While I try to heal my wounds
I remember like it was yesterday All my days were filled with joy Then you came in lie a black cloud And my happiness was destroyed
Every promise broken I remember Don't ever think I dont Can't forgive can't forget While I try to heal my wounds
Can't forgive can't forget I know I will go on How could I be too blind to see That you had just led me on Now you are gone but i can touch These wounds that I can feel It's another time in life My old wounds have healed
That was then and this is now And those things are now in the past And I know no matter what Some things weren't meant to last
Ever promise broken I remember Don't ever think I don't Can't forgive can't forget While I try to heal my wounds
Can't forgive can't forget I know I will go on How could I bee too blind to see That you had just led me on Now you are gone but I can touch These wounds that I can feel Its another time in life My old wounds have healed
Lurking in the shadows Hidden from the light Admist the degredation His thirst for blood arise The quest for carnal pleasures The growing need for flesh Senseless brutal beatings Phsycotic lust is fed
Maliciously tortured ripped to shreds Innocent victims killed by death Frenzied thrashings dreched in blood Fleeting screams you have succumb
Up from wretched alleys Strewn with shards of glass Burning eyes of hatred All sign of life be gone Mission maim, destruction Mauled and scarred to death Return to darkened alleys To rise and kill again
Maliciously tortured ripped to shreds Innocent victims killed by death Frenzied thrashings dreched in blood Fleeting screams you have succumb
Cast into poverty To live amongst the dead Skid row life of hoplessness Fuels hatred of mankind Release of cruel emotions Takes from homicide No answer to his question Violent solutions abide
Maliciously tortured ripped to shreds Innocent victims killed by death Frenzied thrashings dreched in blood Fleeting screams you have succumb
Generals gathered in their masses just like witches at black masses evil minds that plot destruction sorcerers of death's construction in the fields the bodies burning as the war machine keeps turning death and hatred to mankind poisoning their brainwashed minds, oh lord yeah!
Politicians hide themselves away they only started the war Why should they go out to fight? They leave that role to the poor
Time will tell on their power minds Making war just for fun Treating people just like pawns in chess Wait 'till their judgement day comes, yeah!
Now in darkness, world stops turning ashes were the bodies burning No more war pigs of the power Hand of god has struck the hour Day of judgement, god is calling on their knees, the war pigs crawling Begging mercy for their sins Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
Putting to dead those who oppose you Will take control, no matter the cost Bodies are mounting the carnage around you At the last count, 10.000 have died
Taken by force Controlled by fear Death squad police of the right Must stamp out subversion Dissention, unrest Those who oppose will meet death
Automatic weapons in hand You say you're what the police want Why must you kill them to secure their vote Death squad escort them to the polls Puppet regime with you at the head You've rid them of a communist threat Your brand of "democracy" is now in control And all of your people lie dead
Taken by force Controlled by fear Death squad police of the right Must stamp out subversion Dissention, unrest Those who oppose will meet death
"Democracy" at any cost The methods of freedom unclear Right-wing radicals, abusing control The choice will be democracy of death
Taken by force Controlled by fear Death squad police of the right Must stamp out subversion Dissention, unrest Those who oppose will meet death
I know a place Where you're all going to go They'll pay you to kill If You're eighteen years old First You'll need a haircut And then some new clothes They'll stick you in a jungle To play G.I. Joe
CHORUS:
You fight for democracy And the "American Way" But you're not in your country "What am I doing here?" you say But now it's too late You're entering Managua If you had brought your surfboard You could surf Nicaragua
What is this we're fighting for What's our ultimate goal To force our ideas Right down their throats American Intervention Grows Deeper Everyday The situation worsens More soldiers on the way
CHORUS:
You fight for democracy And the "American Way" But you're not in your country "What am I doing here?" you say But now it's too late You're entering Managua If you had brought your surfboard You could surf Nicaragua
Lessons we have learned Are easy to forget Hints of viet-nam How soon we all forget First we send advisors And then go the troops Another worthless conflict Another Chance to lose
