Hooverville 01:46
The dozers will be here at first light A city of dust there’s nothing left Nowhere to go but down I’ve worked this land all my life Until my hands bled with pride Now I cannot recognize And I’ve become the man that pride has forgotten Standing lonesome like vagrant ghosts. The homes look on in sorrow. As the neighbors come to tear them down, we fear this time tomorrow. Too dumb to live, too proud to kneel. Where is the bottom of America? They’d burn the food before they’d feed the poor pull the tarp over your heads A cold wind blows on our liberties Profits before human life Allegiance to the dust A dissonant resolve And destitution evermore.
2.
Free to roam within the cage Free to think of freedom Your choice is really not your own You’re tethered to the vision Do you think these thoughts your own? Good little drone That’s exactly what they prayed for Good little drone You will die according to plan
3.
Barbaric efforts made in steps Are later taken in leaps Chipping off the block Attrition of the hearts and minds Of the proud and grateful pulp This is how you relegate the civilized To the beasts they sought to break Phase one Mass manipulation A tale told of necessary evil Conditioning through violence A heritage of violence In god we trust this cruelty just Phase two Mass media brainwash Stoking the war effort The illusion of overcoming The rallying cry overwhelming Phase three Hiroshima What happened is the same as before What will happen is the same as before A judgement made in vengeance And everybody falls

Fear Him 00:46
He's a real mean fucker with a colt .45 He'd kill you if he could get away with it Set in his ways, a dirty old man Cruising for trim in his big black car He smokes speed with the kids And tells stories of his glory years A real mean fucker with a lock on a chain A proud white man we're wise to fear A real mean fucker dying in pain A dead white man who fucking cares?
5.
Glory's Son 01:30
Holes in the walls Holes in his arms Trying to cope with the stress of the mission. No one can see him No one can know the fires burning in the distance Flesh burning on metal Reduced to grease Love him for who he is Hate him for what he does For he is our son And we owe our sympathy Flesh baked on metal Carbonized on the steel Moments ago this was a person Holes in the walls Holes in his arms Daddy’s got a problem Just hold it together a little longer And go out peacefully
6.
Quacksalver doctors Place their pride before their patients And drugs to anesthetize their thought Pain is their master And they all wear silk and velvet A joyride to the basement Where the proof is in the freezer Bleeding out, no help about Neglected pain, directed torment The raping of your sense of care The price you pay in spades What kind of paradigm casts aside the ones it serves? We’re naked and defenseless an infant to the wolves The myth of modern medicine is that it’s medicine at all Prescribed a quick fix And you get exactly what you paid for We should be prescribing treatment For these butcher’s egos Instant death
7.
There he goes, slipping away All he was or could have been All his thoughts and feelings Traded straight across For a butcher approved adornment A horrid sight, Remington right All for the cost of a pocket full of shells A tragic litany echoed in an all too common hell The sky is magnificent today
8.
It takes hardness and determination Until so much of the land is on fire And the tranquil beauty of burning horror Nullifies the voice of doubt It takes anger and vengeance Until so many have died with your dignity And the objective outweighs the casualty numbers At home they’re dancing in the streets It’s standard practice It comes with the job It is one’s duty To stoke the pressure Uphold the terror And continue bombing Just another day In Dresden/Hamburg And the sun sets on all horizons
9.
Night People 02:46
What keeps you up at night? Is it the things you have done? Or is it the things you’re yet to do? The street at 3am is glistening with desire Nothing without misery Opportunities for a street minded leech Remember yesterday’s mistakes And see tomorrow’s bodies You owe your grief to those you’ve left behind You can blame your stress on the rising sun Every day that you’re alive means another sleepless night Suppress the thought with abject filth Or pull the plug, we thought you might Contemplate, stay awake Contemplate, stay awake What is haunting you at night?
10.
Shipping containers Full of human cash stacks No name anymore How did it come to this? Kidnapped in the night Never seen again An all too common trend Forced captivity Intravenous complacency Follow the dope Engaging the black gold nightmare Sold for sex and torture Satisfaction guaranteed Human cash stacks More tomorrow No family anymore Human cash stacks No tomorrow No future anymore Everything that can hurt will

Carcano 63' 00:57
My father killed the American dream He is a reel of footage on every screen My daddy was a rifle I’m a son of a gun Born in infamy This is how it ends for me Found in a ditch I was meant for nothing else I’m the heir to my father’s self fulfilling prophecy Hatred and fear Hold back the tears Don’t cry for me Born into this Tears reserved for the worthy Goin’ down bloody Deep self hate I can’t erase
12.
I crawl on the wall With the names of many others I'm as hard as a coffin nail I'm the blackest news in print And you can find me in the rows To say my name is to acquiesce Surrender yourself to the void I have no stories but you know my tale Look for me on Sunday You are next
13.
It’s a hard go from here till death No one waiting to catch you falling Drink it down it is the last Can you feel your dignity dying? A fall from grace but you were never there Just falling down Still your children love you Bless their naivety Lest they, see the, hard times, coming A drunken dive The deepest well See how wrong you were? Feel how wrong you are? It can happen to you slowly A drunken dive The deepest well See how wrong you were? Do you feel how wrong you are? A miracle undoing The bliss of unknowing It happened in one day Now nothing is the same

Rabbit Cage 03:03
Aging out, fear and doubt Systemic stress, systemic trauma Precious little rabbits Tomorrow sent to slaughter Break me with your words Cut me with your eyes I’m all but dead, spared my smile It’s a cheap disguise Tell me what to think Tell me how to act I'll be your good dog I’ll lay down and play dead But it's you who’s dead inside Silencing the problem From the comfort of your home A champion on his soap box Concealing the bloody earth beneath Do you know what it's like to starve? To be left out in the cold To grow up fast and hard? Don’t brave the thought, Don't even try To see the world through my eyes You won't last in here Your leather noose fits perfectly A dead young man in my eyes Hang it up, no one cares Lay down, Play dead Watch me, Laughing Good dog, Good night Waste of, Fucking life Feelings are a profound lie Keep dreaming within your coffin Belief in us, a tragic comedy Keep screaming within your skull-cell They thought they were raising wholesome upright people
