1917
In 1917
There was a prophecy
It's coming true
Here's what to do
You gotta believe
In the three
Know what’s true
Live your life anew
Communism's errors
Have spread around
You’ve taken our freedom
You’ve beat us down
You take from the young
And let evil abound
You take our guns
So you can take us down
1917
Hell is not a dream
The war to end all war
Another was in store
Freedom to believe
Taken with no reprieve
Many went astray
Still the same today
Telling me your lies are truth
Doing that by falsifying your proof
You haven’t made your case
So you have to Legislate with hate
1917
Makes me want to scream
Communism ruins all lands
We gotta make a stand
You’ve taken our freedom
to believe what we believe
We’ve gone so far astray
Only you can save the day

Slave of the State

Slave of the State
I work all night & I work all day
The Government makes me pay
I'm a Slave, Slave, Slave of the State
I'm a Slave, Slave, Slave of the State
Trapped, gotta get me outta this gate
I'm a Slave, Slave, Slave of the State
We spend our lives working for you
There's something I gotta do
I can't stand it anymore
My life is such a bore!
Going on thirty, still living at home
Can't get a place of my own
I'm a Slave, Slave, Slave of the State
I'm a Slave, Slave, Slave of the State
Trapped, gotta get me outta this gate
I'm a Slave, Slave, Slave of the State
If this is what you call free
Won't you just let me be
Working for you is such a chore
I just gotta have more
Tax me on this, tax me on that
You treat me like I'm a fat cat

Generation What's Next

Generation What's Next
Generation hero
Of world war two
Sacrificed themselves
To save the Jew
Generation zero
You just destroyed
Didn't appreciate
The good you enjoyed
Generation What's Next
Do something or we’ll die
Generation What's Next
Do something, at least give it a try
Generation X
Don't know what to do
Handed everything
Don't have a clue
Generation Y
They are so blind
Can't tell right from wrong
Don't seem to mind
Generation What's Next
You are our only hope
Generation What's Next
Our last and final hope

Garbage In Garbage Out
Garbage in
Garbage out
you’re hearing lies
there is no doubt
Heads I win
Tales you lose
Spin the spin
Abuse the truth
Knowledge is power
Only if it's true
Don’t believe everything
That they teach in school
The Court Jester
Is now the King
Lawyers & Unions
Control everything
They make more money
Telling their lies
They don’t care
If you DIE
Knowledge ain’t power
when it’s a LIE
Don’t believe anything
Their common sense has gone awry
Functional idiot
with no brain
you are so elite
you treat me with disdain
You’re full of hate
And say it’s love
You call good evil
And what’s evil good

Repeal All Laws

Repeal All Laws
Repeal all laws begin again
Then make a few with Common Sense
Repeal all laws begin again
We’ll regain our freedom then
Too Many Laws are out of date
Too many laws are full of hate
Too many laws that don’t create
Too many laws it’s a big mistake
Repeal all laws begin again
We all win in the end
Repeal all laws begin again
Then our freedom will extend
Things aren’t working
Can't you see
Life is better when we’re free
Too many Laws tell me
what to do
I’ve had it I am through
Regulations, can’t you see
Only hurt you and me
Why can’t you let me be
And stop your tyranny
Your doctrine is based on fear & death
wanna to control my every breath
Your tactic is not going to work on me
It’s my life and I want to be free
Why am I being sued,
Can’t live the life I choose,
Now I am telling you
That I refuse
Repeal all laws begin again
Repeal all laws begin again
Repeal all laws begin again
Repeal all laws begin again

Nothing's Perfect
01:42
|

Nothing's Perfect
Life's not fair
you can't make it be
Nothing's perfect
Come back to reality
No such thing
as heaven on earth
realize that
& you won't be hurt
Nothings Perfect
Can't you see
Realize that
'N you'll be free
Nothings perfect
things go wrong
Mistakes and failure
Make us strong
You can’t protect me
from my pain
You can’t protect me
from everything
Good intentions aren’t enough
Face reality
There’s no Utopia
The end justifies the means
Is just bad philosophy
Hell is paved with good intents
Gotta use some common sense
Life won’t get perfect
by controlling me
Gotta stop forcing
Your Morality
You dream of things
that just can’t be
No Sympathy
for Stupidity
Stop forcing
your morality on me

It's All About the Money
01:39
|
|||
It's all about the money
Breast Cancer, AIDS
Alar, Oatmeal, Eggs
Global Warming, 2nd hand smoke
Silicon Implants, tell me another joke
Dirty Water & air, trying to make me despair
The list is endless, lying to make me care.
How many lies must we hear
Before we learn
Lying to make the world better
Only makes it worse
It's all about the money
They want to control
Trying to rule with fear
That's their goal
Government’s not the answer
It's the problem
They take your money
And then your freedom
Heads they win tails we lose
They win no matter what we do

Perpetually Pissed Off

|

Perpetually Pissed Off
I’m sick of you
telling me what to do
Perpetually Pissed Off
You wanna keep me
From having fun
Perpetually Pissed Off
You’re just bored
with nothing to do
Perpetually Pissed Off
All my life you’re taking
freedom from me
Perpetually Pissed Off
A product of my environment
Perpetually Pissed Off
Society has Gone really Mad
Perpetually Pissed Off

Gotta Change Your Tude

Gotta Change Your 'Tude
If you're always angry
Always feeling down
Things never go your way
There's only one thing to do!
Gotta change your attitude!
Dude, Gotta change your 'tude
Ya Wanna stop feelin' blue?
Just gotta change your tude!
Don't take things so hard
Gotta just lighten up
You don't wanna be scarred for life
You know what you gotta do
Happiness is your obligation
Most people just don't see
It's something that can be changed
Just will to be happy!

What Rights
01:34
|
|||
What Rights
Rights! Rights! Rights!
What Rights?!
Stop taking my Freedom from me
Give me back my Liberty
Don’t tell me what to buy or eat
This nanny state wants to take care of me
Stop the Train let me get off
The train to insanity has got to stop
Liberalism’s felt not really thought
Listen to me and you won’t be fraught
Your rights don’t come from the state
If they did they could take them away
What I crave is Freedom and Liberty
That’s just this side of Anarchy

Why?
02:37
|
|||
Why?
Is there such a thing as a supreme being
There has to be, how then did we evolve?
This is such a mystery, why all the secrecy?
Why don't we know, I know this can be solved
Did God make us or did we make Him?
Are we victims of ignorance
Passed down through the ages?
We can change if we know The Truth
God made us we didn’t make Him?
We give life, we take it away, No one is here to stay.
We live, we die, For it there's not much to show
We're put on this earth to choose.
We've got everything to lose.
Heaven or hell, it is your choice where you go
I want to know -- Why we live. Why we die. Why we rejoice.
Why we laugh. Why we cry. Why we have a choice.
