Generic Hardcore
01:49
|

culture born of this network, built on our unity: this is my family. this is my life. moth and rust eat away at our sense of community. without it there's no us. we become you and me.
there's no standard we can't out-measure, because we're all in this together. and there's no storm that we can't weather, because we're all in this together. we have to preserve this, our sense of solidity.

Buster (No Scrubs pt. 2)
01:42

put on my pubic face. its facade hides disgrace. defend beliefs with sincerity, but that all changes when no one looks at me. politics become meaningless words. I disregard all that I've learned. forsaken for the sake of convenience. ignore lenience.
lost in this charade, a part too well played. when the mask falls off there's nothing left. I cry repentance with my last breath.

Cuts Away
02:08
|
|||
mass production of a population and the unseen horrors of its creation. she cuts away her body to appease societal ideals of beauty. hypnotized. crucified. disorder becomes mental disease. she cuts away her body to appease. a question of effect becomes a matter of degree. she cuts away her body to appease. take it back. your are not your body.

words, language, twisting through narrow knots of linguistics. debate debasement and semantics when the subject is ballistics. let's end this thing, the calling names, the violence spread through words. push the boundaries to put this scene, put it to the test. excuses based on intentions, and you say you lack the comprehension to see the damage of your statements when you call me a faggot.

Vampire
03:42
|
|||
always quick to offer a hand when help was no longer needed, the growing beast of dependency unheeded. how could I refuse when you'd always been there for me? I was blinded then, but now I fucking see it.
vampire, suck the life from me. stifling, it's getting hard to breathe. the toll that you exact is more than I can give. you drain away my will to live.
you piled on your shit so thick that it was hard to see it was all a trick: reaching out to pat my back with your dagger firmly in your grasp. you put me on a pedestal just to knock it out from under me. I always played the fool, but now I fucking see it.

Going Grey
02:45
|
|||
I can't bear to watch you waste away, your failing body weaker every day. this fatal illness runs its fucking course. your vibrant colors going grey. stab it in to erase the pain. the fatal illness running through your veins. shattered walls come crashing down and stifling silence is all that remains. watch you burn yourself out, become a lifeless shell. I can't help but feel at fault, though I tried to help. how can you do this to yourself?

Wage Slave
03:19
|

another dollar, another day. another fifty hours so I can pay. crossed questions. crooked answers. broken backs. blue collars. I'm stuck in this factory. this rut of life doesn't work for me. I've gotta make a change. things can't stay this way.

Death Stroke
03:28
|
|||
experimentation erases a population, a split-second decision on the fate of a nation. half discovered dead on the initial sweep. there's no turning back now; we're in too fucking deep.
they release the toxins to create controlled disease and prepare for warfare with untold miseries.
death stroke by its own hand, destroying its own land. they created a wasteland "and they call it peace." national security, defend the land of the free, but citizen now means enemy.
they release the toxins to create controlled disease and prepare for warfare with untold miseries.
"another ward of tented beds, campground of the living dead" lives wasted for a weapon. it's in our best interests.

Anthem of Matewan
02:17
|
|||
crawl down the shafts at midnight, your shift becomes crusade. inhale your death for profit, but never see the money made. they take away your dignity, rob you of your pride. your wrath is locked away, but it's boiling up inside. can you feel it?
your payment is a pittance to spend on the company, your body a tool of no use if you're making no money. turned against your fellow man, conquered by divide. the bonds are breaking. your rage is boiling up inside. can you feel it?
the tension builds like steam in a pot of boiling water, and the lid is ready to blow right from the fucking top. a wheel is set in motion, crushing all beneath it, and it will take a massacre to make it fucking stop.

Capitalist Consequence
02:16
|
|||
the car you drive, the house where you reside, the check, credit card, and all the things that you can buy: fine art, antiques, a summer home in Chesapeake. Donna Karan, now your wardrobe is so chic.
the labor you exploit to buy your new Rolls Royce. you pay the scabs to silence union voice. silent, aloof, your plan is fool-proof. fortune 500. your stocks went through the roof.
hanging. murder. tar and feather. your punishment for your opulence.
stabbing. torture. drawn and quartered. your property burns as the rioters turn.
