LOSS OF WORDS LP: THIS GENERATION...
This generation is full of fucking cowards
Selling their souls by the hour
Advertisement blindfolds in front of their eyes
Taught to question nothing and live the lie
You value things that are absurd
Materialistic ideals in the suburbs
The world is full of war, hate, and innocent cries
There is more to life than the things you buy
Fuck you and your so called values
Kids controlled by dollar signs
Advertise to keep them blind
What have we done?
Fuck the lying corporations
and my ignorant generation
Down the street, a mile away
A woman was beaten and robbed today
No one seems to give a fuck
Hate still remains and we’re out of luck
What matters most to you is getting paid
A suit and tie marching towards your grave
Your compassion amounts to fucking shit
We’re at the world’s end the fuse has been lit
Think twice about everything that you’re told
Take a good look around this fucked up world
Don’t play their one sided, bigoted games
Let’s put these fucking bastards to shame
I won’t forget about the things that truly matter
Fuck where I am on the social ladder
I may stand alone but I will stand for what is right
Never let my enemies out of sight
WON'T WASTE MY LIFE
If I had your life I’d put my throat to a knife
Fill your days with emptiness, but I don’t have the time
I won’t grow up, I won’t fall in line
You don’t even think for your fucking self
Every decision made is by someone else
I won’t cave in, I won’t waste away
Life is fucked up
You have to fight for every breath
Won’t waste my life
Won’t just wait for my death
You can’t call your soul your own
Your mind thinks like every other fucking clone
I won’t grow up, I won’t fall in line
Tell me how it feels to have a T.V. as a mind
You swallowed every force fed thought and now your fucking blind
I won’t cave in, i won’t waste away
Won’t waste my life
LOSS OF WORDS
We’ve been fooled again with smoke and mirrors
They’ll question your safety and play on your fears
Same old game of wrong vs. right
Same old hook that again we bite
You’d think we learn, but it just gets worse
I’m at a loss of words
A voice of reason will never be heard
I’m at a loss of words
History repeats itself
Armageddon, straight to hell
Different players but the same game
Same script with different faces and names
The poor die while profits are gained
Real people suffer and are left with the pain
It’s an endless war with no peace in sight
We always need an enemy and evil to fight
Rallying patriotism and silencing dissent
A flood of propaganda to forget our discontent
I don’t think we’ll ever understand
War can never bring peace
It’s an endless cycle of hate
Creating new enemies
Our blood, their blood, it’s just as red
Just or unjust, innocents are just as dead
We’ve seen it before and I’ll tell you what’s next
More pain, more lies, and more death
BROKEN RECORD
My life is just like a broken record
The same shit keeps repeating itself
The worst part of my life, and of the record
Find comfort in making my life hell
Over and over, time and time again I’ve been through this shit before
I want this life, and this record
Smashed into pieces on the fucking floor
Another night with a bitter end
Surrounded by people that i can’t stand
Leave me the fuck alone
I’m putting an end to this show
Breaking the cycle and starting something new
Putting the end in friend so fuck all of you
DROPPING OUT
This is the beginning of the end
I’m stepping out of line and starting over again
Days spent making things worse are no more
I’m dropping out of this fucked up world
Can’t you see the difference between me and you?
I’ve got everything to gain, and nothing to lose
I’ve given up on this world, but not on myself
Will i live like you? No way in hell
I’m casting myself aside from this society
I am dropping out, and not taking part in this atrocity
Now is the time to set your past ablaze and leave it behind
I’ve got one shot, and wasting time is not what I have in mind
I don’t want to be included or accepted
I’ll survive on my own, alone and rejected
Maybe things will never change
But I’ll die fighting, and I won’t die ashamed
NO REGRETS
The past is just that, the past
I’m trying to make the good times last
Light that match leave that bridge behind
Because regret is such a waste of time
My failures I’ve learned to accept
I’ve got one life, no more and no less
My life, my way, fuck what they expect
Never look back, no regrets
It is time that we learn to never look back
on mistakes we can’t undo
Keep looking forward, keep pushing on
Embrace the pain because it will make you strong
Decisions were made, right or wrong
I won’t dwell on those days, they’re long gone
Never look back, no regrets
I’m tired of never feeling complete
and holding on to things that i don’t need
I’ll bury the past that nearly buried me
We’ve got scars to show where we’ve been
We’ve salted our wounds to not forget again
Here’s to all of our new ends
LONG LIVE THE UNDERGROUND
Punk has got me through the darkest days
Through the times when I wanted to die
This is so much more than a phase
It’s what I live for and who I am inside
Punk has saved me from suicide
This sound is what keeps me alive
Long live the underground
And this punk rock sound
This one’s dedicated to underground kids
Who keep the scene alive through thick and thin
It’s been a fucked up day
So I’ll grab my board and go skate
Put my headphones on
Suddenly everything feels okay
DAY TO DAY WAR
I’m running in circles, cycles I can’t break
I’ve come to accept failure as my only fate
Sometimes I think I’m just as fake
As everything, everything I hate
I keep saying happiness is around the bend
But I’m kidding myself because the darkness never ends
No hope for light, no end in sight
Don’t fucking tell me everything is alright
The only thing that gets me through the day
Is the belief that tomorrow something might change
But no, each day is always the same
The bull shit never goes away
I’m looking for something, something more
Than this mind numbing bore
I’m looking for something, something more
Than this day to day war
My hopes and dreams are all paper thin
But I refuse to let this bull shit win
I can’t give in, I can’t give in
I won’t give in, I won’t fucking give in
NEVER BELIEVE
I’d rather spend eternity in hell
Than live a life on my fucking knees
Fuck you and your god’s rules
I live my life according to me
You say that everything will be okay
The world is in your god’s hands, helping us through the days
You say that when we all die
We’ll float up to a heaven in the fucking sky
I’ve never heard anything so stupid in my life
What a load of shit, how can you buy into this book of lies?
I won’t believe in their scam
They’ll take your life and money right out of your hands
Ill never fucking believe
Ill never bow down on my fucking knees
and pray to a god that does not exist
Your religion is full of shit
I don’t want any part of it
The only thing religion has saved us from
is a better world without slaughter and restricted freedom
Just look at history
Religious wars from sea to sea
I never in my life want to be “saved”
I won’t become another self imposed slave
You can count me out
Because fiction is what religion is all about
WE'LL ALL BE CURED
The dead eyes of a rotting nation
Get sedation and medication
For every kid that can’t sit still
Fix him with prescription pills
You’ve got a problem
Here’s your prescription
Simple solution for complicated afflictions
A facade of happiness
That will sell
Any one we can scapegoat, but ourselves
If I’m diseased try and sell me a cure
And I’m sure I am fucked up
But decide what is worse
Lithium dreams or feeling the hurt
Sick, tired, panicked, or stressed?
Angry, restless, manic, or depressed?
...We’ll all be cured
FUCK THE WORLD, SKATING'S BETTER
Fuck the world, skating’s better
When I’m on my board I feel fine
I forget about this fucked up world, It’s left behind
Fuck the world, skatings better
This is how I escape
From all the things in life that I seem to hate
Skateboard day and night
When I’m with my friends I feel alright
Skateboard every chance I get
It’s what I know so fuck the rest
Skateboarding is my freedom
Here come the pigs, grab your boards and run
Fuck the world, skating’s better
This session is far from being done
Whoever thought destroying things could be so much fun?
Fuck the world, skating’s better
Don’t give a fuck where I’m at
As long as I’ve got my board there’s some fun to have
I’ll skate or die
I’m in this shit for fucking life
I’ll skate or die
The only thing in this life that feels right
FROM THE HEART
For what it’s worth this means everything to me
More than I can put on a lyric sheet
When things finally start to get better
I’ll be there for you, we’ll be there together
All the memories we’ve shared, yeah I remember
While so many gave up, we said never surrender
Whatever tomorrow brings, we’re in this together
Cause in a world of shit, this is forever
What we lack in talent, we make up in sincerity
I swear to you I mean every word I scream
I know in my heart with every beat
This fire won’t burn out and this feeling will never leave
Scream from the heart, scream together
and keep on screaming because this is forever
Scream from the heart, scream together
In a wold of shit this is forever
Turn the amps to 11, scream 1, 2, 3 GO!
Keep on playing cause that’s all we know
Empty pockets with nothing to show
Dead end youth with nowhere to go
For my friends who I know that are true
Fucked up kids who were born to lose
If we have nothing in this world, we’ll still have our friends
If there’s one thing that i know, we’ll be there in the end
Today, tomorrow, and forever
From the hearts that are beat down and weathered
This sound you hear is fucking real
The one thing that’s mine you cannot steal
Finding Freedom in Hopelessness
I despise this world, I can't take this life
I wish I was never born
I'm already in fucking hell
With nothing worth living for
There is, there is, no hope
Nothing's left but thoughts of depression and hate
Feelings I battle daily, you will never relate
I feel so empty I'm waiting for my last breath
To liberate me from this horrible mess
There is no future, yes I know this
But we find freedom, in this hopelessness
People won't stop the lies and betrayal it's a fact
Through these eyes the whole world has turned pitch black
Since day one I've had orders shoved down my throat
From my teachers, politicians, enemies, and foes
There is, there is, no hope
My enemy is so big, I feel so weak
I'm not going far my future's looking bleak
I'll grasp on to what little life I have left
And search for freedom in this life of hopelessness
Dead End Youth
Society doesn't give a fuck about me
Turned me into a commodity
Told me I was worth nothing
Then they told me that I was free
Don't give a shit about what I have to say
Turned their backs and looked the other way
Pushed me into fucking dismay
You promised me a future, but not today
Dead end youth
Is here to stay, society doesn't care about me anyway
Dead end youth
Got nowhere to go, heading down the wrong road
Dead end youth going nowhere fast, this generation won't be the last
I look around my city there's no hope for us
No where to turn no one to trust
I cannot believe these fucking lies
Told by my school which I despise
Born into a system without any choice
The authority trying to quiet my voice
I don't know what to do with myself any longer
Each day I resist I become stronger
"Son you're an embarrassment, a fucking disgrace
Look at your life it's going to waste
You sure as hell are going nowhere fast
Time to strive for a real future, one that will last
You're young and you don't know anything
The doors for a real future are quickly closing
Get on your knees it's time to start kneeling"
Fuck you, ill keep on screaming
Live My Life
Resisting
How can you be proud to live in a country where people are killed because of
their race?
How can you be proud to live in a country where the innocent is oppressed
day by day?
I will not fly that flag of hate I won't let them take my life away
I will not recite nationalistic anthems, of fascism and greed
Look back on your entire life; you've followed every order you've been told
to do
You no longer have a mind of your own
I will always live my life resisting
Live my life resisting
Live with resistance
Live my life resisting
How can you be proud to live in a country where ignorance breeds hate
everyday?
How can you be proud to live in a country where the government lies to your
face?
I will never pledge allegiance to a flag, of capitalism and hate
I will not fight a mindless war; do to my nation's greed for more
Sounds of liberation
Passion for
Destruction
Everywhere I go, I see nothing as positive
This is my life this is how I live
All I see is negativity
The entire world trying to enslave me
What do I do with such anger and rage?
I feel like an animal trapped inside a cage
That won't let me out, I can't liberate myself
From this horrible world, please let me out
Passion for destruction
There's a difference between existing and being alive
Passion for destruction
Let's create something new and take back our lives
I can't stop sinking I'm at an all time low
My depression and rage it's beginning to show
Once your in hell, and finally start to see what's real
You'll start to understand how we feel
I have no more faith in the human race
Everywhere around me is eternal waste
I see the world corrupting in front of my eyes
Keep it going like this, and everybody dies
No gods, no masters
Take our lives back from the fucking bastards
No slavery and poverty that makes us die faster
Consume
Every product you buy, do you know who you've supported?
Ever dollar spent, do you know who you've exploited?
Every dollar spent compounds capitalist tyranny
Putting worker and consumer into slavery
Buy more shit you don't need
Support the oppressive economy
Buy more shit you don't need
To remain content in this society
Work, consume, sleep, and repeat
We are all slaves to this consumer society
Work, consume, sleep, and repeat
No product they sell you can make your life complete
We buy into the belief that materials make us whole
But we want so bad to find the purpose that they stole
There is no meaning in something you can buy
Don't support this materialist culture, don't swallow their lie
They steal our lives, steal our time, and sell it back to us
I will not consume
This Is Our Scene
We all have negative views on this world
Let's try to keep a positive view on our scene
Let's not give up on each other
Leaving the scene will accomplish nothing
There are much more cruel people we deal with everyday
In our work, home, and schools that won't go away
So let's take refuge in our scene
And not fight each other but the real enemy
Unite…this is
Unite…our scene
Punk music and the scene are my fucking life
You have no idea how much it means to me
Don't even think about trying to take it away
Or we will make you fucking pay
You have no idea how much work goes into this
So shut your fucking mouth and stop using your fists
To try and prove you are better than the rest
Get our of our scene you fucking cunt, don't put us to the test
To all the two faced hypocrites
Get out of our scene
Or the kids that just talk shit
Get out of our scene
We've got nowhere else to go
Let's strive for unity
We're all rejects of our society
Let's strive for unity
The Suburbs Are
Coming Down
Suburban waste, pathetic lives
So fucking fake, suburban disguise
Sweep the homeless off the city streets
Fuck the yuppies and their arrogant dreams
You are the consumers you are the slaves
You are content because cashing in pays
Better hope that Jesus saves
You are the bastards you are the slaves
The suburbs are coming down
Discontent and this punk rock sound
The suburbs are coming down
Tear it all to the fucking ground
Stuck in our restrictive bonds
We're not going to be bored no more
Molded to be the next workers
Of this shitty, fucking world
The streets are ours it's time to fight
Time to take back our fucking rights
That they stole from every one of us
We'll turn your shopping malls into rubble and dust
Cloned houses equal cloned minds
I Don't Need It
Have you felt a void, emptiness inside you?
You can't face the real world, you can't stay true
So you search for false answers that impair your site
The bottle and the cross telling you it's alright
I don't need it I can stand on my own
Neither religion nor drugs I face my problems alone
Without a crutch I face reality
All I ever had was music, friends, and me
This is all we have, this pathetic existence
That destroyed my hope, destroyed my persistence
I will not give up; I will stay true to myself
I won't live my life in shackles, (I'll live) for me and no one else
Conformity
Manufactured boys and girls of today
Do exactly what they're told there is no other way
Then to sign their lives to the higher authority
No self awareness that is the key
Taught not to think to live in a disguise
That hides ones identity afraid of their demise
Buy and wear what you see on TV
Told to support the sweatshop companies
Today's youth…. Brainwashed, Brainwashed
The American way is conformity
Told to strive for mediocracy
Average is best…
In the land of the free
I walk down the street look at everything I see
One face one voice loss of identity
Scared to fit in comfort in conformity
Are you content to be someone else to not know your true self?
Resist the call to become one of the sheep
Defy the pressure to conform by society
Don't become a part of the herd
Stand up for yourself, stand up and be heard
Conformity: the American way
Mediocracy: the American dream
Don't Play Your Role
You were born with the power
To do what you want to do with your life
The choice has been, and will always remain up to you
Restore that power and take back your fucking life
Don't waste another minute
Don't have to choose to play their roles
Their choice is no choice at all
When we stop playing the roles we're given
Their hierarchy and system will fall
You were born with the power
To be the person you choose to fucking be
So why do you give that power to someone else, and give away your life
To a bigoted politician or fucking cop, parents, schools, or boss
Fuck 5-0
You say you're here to keep the peace
But look at how you're protecting
By instilling fear and intimidation
By using violence and condemnation
How are we free when pigs rule the streets
With guns and ammunition, abusing their authority
Given no other choice but to go with the flow
Fuck brutality, fuck 5-0
Lock up more peaceful protesters and throw them in jail
So they know not to speak out or to entail
The truth that no one will ever know
Fuck brutality, Fuck 5-0
As the crime rate increases so do the weapons
To forcefully put us back into segregation
Try to find the actual root of the problem
Disarm your guns let's all try to solve them
"Peace cannot be kept by force,
it can only be achieved through understanding."
American Justice is all a Lie
There is no justice for all
If you don't have money, you're going to fall
Our president gets away with murder everyday
He fucks over the lower class, but somehow that's just, that's ok
To the leaders of this world: FUCK YOU
Who abuse their power: FUCK YOU
And corporate greed: FUCK YOU
That exploits our needs: FUCK YOU
What the fuck is this that surrounds me?
Democracy and justice is served by greed
Intolerance and bigotry at its high
American justice is all a lie
Blinded by a dream that you can't see
Democracy and justice is served by greed
Ignorance is bliss so you close your eyes
American Justice is all a lie
Businesses exploit us for billions
But never suffer any consequence
Where the fuck is the justice
For cases like Brian Deneke who was innocent
Rich companies steal billions
Maximum one year in a white collar (minimal security) prison
Lower class man steals food so his family can survive
Left in prison till death, alone and deprived
Is this what you call freedom?
Where the fuck is the justice?
Together We Shout
When all you have is ignorance it's like screaming at a wall
The greed and the lies seem to be standing so tall
They say we'll change nothing, I will never give in
Keep fighting together we can win
My voice will be heard
Break down these walls of tyranny
Our voices will be heard
No difference between you and me
I will not live in society's restraints
It's time to set ourselves free from the hate
We weren't put here to live our lives enslaved
Problems everywhere it's time we make a change
OI! OI! OI! Together we shout
No difference, between you and me, keep fighting, together we shout
