Opinions
01:53
|
|||
|
Everyone's got an opinion
Don't you know
It's just an opinion
With nothing to show
Not the truth
But given with gusto
Just an opinion
That you can veto
Opinions are like ass wholes
Everyone's got one
And They all stink
They think theirs is right
And yours is wrong
It's just an opinion
Why can't we get along
Don't take it so seriously
It's just an opinion
That's what freedom means
Watch out when they claim that it's the truth
It's only their opinion don't be fooled
They think they 're opinion is fact
And I'll have none of that
You want your way and you don't care
You got so many opinions to spare
Making it up as you go along
You think all your opinions make you strong

E.P.A.
01:54

You think you know better but you really don't
An elitist ruling from your throne
Your irrational rules make me groan
You've created too many rules
You think you know better and I'm the fool
And your empty causes will keep us in line
As long as we pay, ya think it's fine
I don't believe you it's overblown
Lying is your cornerstone
Your inflated numbers make me cry
To get your way you'll claim I'll die
Enough Protection Already
Leave me alone
I know how to protect myself
And I know that truth can't be felt
You just want to save the world
It's not working it's come unfurled
Enough Protection Already
Leave me alone

Question Everything
02:14
|
|||
|
Question authority
Question everything
And then question it again
Question authority
What happened to that belief
Question Authority
I learned that in 1960
Doesn't anyone ask why anymore?
Mindlessly following along is what I abhor
Question Everything
That's the best place to begin
Question Everything
Avoid propaganda and media spin
Question Authority
It's been brainwashed out of you
Question Authority
They no longer teach it in school
Don't believe what you see on the news
Corporate propaganda served up to you
Question Everything
And question yourself within
Question Everything
And then question again

Give Me Some
02:30
|
|||
|
I work so hard everyday
Working working for little pay
I work so hard that I get a raise
What does the old Uncle Sam say?
The more you make the more I take
You made more money, Give me some
The government sucks the life out of everything
Federal state and every city
All they do is take from everyone
They say what they always say
You made more money
Give me some
I made more money so I can survive
It's a wonder I'm still alive
I was hoping to get a break
But all I do is suffocate
And now I'm so irate
Because I just gave it all to the state
I just made 20 & they took half
Uncle Sam just sits back and laughs
Let me live my life for heaven's sake
The more I make the more you take

Apathy
02:44
|
|||
|
Sure, the world is lame
All you do is complain
There's no one else to blame
Because you won't do anything
Apathy
You’re filled with apathy
Apathy
You’re filled with apathy
Because you just don't care
And you don't want to feel despair
You follow along
You don't think that you're strong
You don't have a mind of your own
You don't feel you belong
You've gotta change your mentality
To get back your humanity
You live in a world of fantasy
Changing is not blasphemy
Anyway the wind blows
That's where you go
There you go again
If you don't fight they will win.
The world isn't to blame
For you being so lame
You got to do more than complain
Get off your ass and do something

The New Puritans
01:42
|
|||
|
Sitting in a room with no doors
Looking at the ceiling & and the floor
Trapped with no escape
I can't handle all this hate
From The New Puritans
Think what they think
Say what they say
If you don't you'll have hell to pay
Their tolerance is a one-way street
Another one of their skewed beliefs
You are free to believe what you want
As long as they agree
Don't go along with what they say
Tell them to let you be!
They make them self above the law
Don't let them succeed
We gotta stand up and fight
Time to put aside our apathy
They proclaim that you're guilty
With no evidence
And you're never allowed to prove
That you are innocent
It's The New Puritans
They're the New Puritans
Beware of the New Puritans

American Pravda
01:55
|
|||
|
Spewing lies to manipulate
You think they report truth
Corporation news
They're manipulating you
It's all lies - American Pravda
It's in disguise - American Pravda
Makes you blind - American Pravda
Truth undermined - American Pravda
The Communist News Network
Their propaganda abounds
Don't ever listen to them
They lie with every sound
If it's on the news you know it's a lie
Question Everything why don't you give it a try
They rush to judgement not checking the facts
Regurgitating trash
It's just a propaganda pit
Don't you ever listen to it
You can't trust anything they say
It's all about money
The Press is your god
What they say isn't even true
They have their agenda
it's Money and not the truth

Bacon Time
01:37
|
|||
|
I woke up this morning and made my eggs
I had my coffee and then I said
I gotta butter my toast
Then make what I love most
It's bacon time it's bacon time
Time for lunch I wanna hear that crunch
I don't care what I make
But it must have bacon
For heaven sake
It's bacon time it's bacon time
Dinner time with no bacon
Is a colossal crime
So I better get to makin it
Cause it's Bacon Time
Bacon Time
it's no crime
Bacon Time
My kind of wine
Bacon Time
Don't be blind
Bacon Time
You're so kind
Bacon Time
It's so fine
Bacon Time
Bacon Time
I have a love affair with bacon
Too bad, sorry I'm taken
When I awake I'll be makin
Bacon with side of bacon

Insatany
01:55
|
|||
|
Just because you say it doesn't mean it's true
You've skewed reality like you always do
The spirit of confusion has arrived
He is here and He divides
Insatany
Satanic laced Insanity
Sensationalized fiction masquerading as truth
Satan's on the loose and coming for you
His lies and confusion are his masterpiece
Believe them and you'll never find peace
Uses compassion and goodness against you
Uses fear and fantasy to make you a fool
Idiocy and Evil are now combined
So under your radar it makes you blind

Same Old Shit
01:17
|
|||
|
Same old shit different day
Sick and tired of the old same news
Don't know what to do to get through
Gonna do it somehow someway
Same old shit but a different day
Same thing different day
Same old shit don't wanna play
Getting out don't want to stay
Same old shit different day
Ready to hear some new bad news
And feel the same old blues
Everything is still in disarray
Same old shit but a different day
Same thing different day
New year, don't wanna play
Won't matter anyway
Same old shit different day
Feel like I wanna fade away
Leave and go far away
I've been lead astray
I need a fuckin holiday
Same old shit different day

Covid-19
01:55
|
|||
|
And just like that the world shuts down
Nothing like we've ever seen
Everywhere it's a ghost town
Not sure what's going on
Everyone must stay at home
Isolate yourself and be alone
Covid 19
Unlike anything we've seen
Covid 19
It's an alternate reality
Covid 19
I just wanna scream
Covid 19
Too bad it's not a dream
We're all going to die
if you don't comply
I'd rather be free
But that's just me
Only they can save you so they think
Watch out it may be only the beginning
Never let a crisis go to waste
The government always thinks they're so great
In the guise of protecting you
Making you think they're caring when they're really cruel
And just like that they take over your life
They hurt the poor with thousand dollar fines
Everyone's doing their part to make themselves feel good
But do they care like they really should
Martial law cause you might get the flu
A manufactured crisis for your better safe than sorry attitude
I'm more scared of the response than the virus itself
They'll take your freedom and say it's for your health
We're no longer the land of the free
We're now the land of scared little sheep
Watch out it maybe only the beginning

No Heroes
01:42
|
|||
|
Put up on a pedestal they don't deserve
Proclaimed a hero for going to work
It doesn't even matter if they're really a jerk
Their special treatment is so absurd
They think they're a hero for doing their job
And they're important and we are not
Everyone has got their role
We're in this together don't you know
They're really not better than anyone else
Claim they care and wanna help
They're idolized unnecessarily
We all do our part can't ya see
No Heroes!
No Heroes!
No more heroes to look to
No Heroes!
No Heroes!
They've got you fooled
No Heroes!
No Heroes!
I know it's taboo
No Heroes!
No Heroes!
Just an idea for further review
Gave peace a chance and then got shot
An idol they're certainly not
They're not really special, they're just like you
We each have a gift that we use
No more heroes
They'll always fail
No more heroes
They'll die or end up in jail
No more heroes
It's the same old tale

Life Sucks
00:50
|
|||
|
Life Sucks and then you die
Life sucks and then you die
That's a fact I don't know why
Sick and tired I no longer try
Life Sucks and then you die

12 Years (remastered)
02:46
|
|||
|
Every 12 years they say we're all going to die
How many times before you realize it's just a lie
Another 12 years another false outcry
All they want to do is sway and vilify
In the year 1965
Sayin the weather changed
Became their battle cry
Claiming that we're the ones to blame
But in 1987 the weather's the same
Another 12 years
And we're still here
Another 12 years
And one thing's clear
Another 12 years
There's nothing to fear
Another 12 years
Let's have a beer
In the year 1999
Nothing's really changed
It's all been fine
12 years later in 2011
They're still using fear as their favorite weapon
Why would you ever believe Al Gore
The money grubbing scum steals from the poor
Oceans will rise by 2011
Just one more thing that never happened
I can just about guarantee
It'll be the same in 2023
They've cried wolf too many times
But somehow, they never pay for they're crime
In 2035
We'll all still be alive
Will we finally learn our lesson
In 2047
Will we end our obsession
When there is no Armageddon

The Wicked Woke
02:26
|
|||
|
You're so bored and have no life
Searching tweets from years ago
Trying to find something you don't like
You think you're woke but it ain't so
Don't you know you're the wicked woke
Too bad you think reality is a joke
You look at everything with a microscope
It's gotta change or there's no hope
Being woke is your new religion
Thinking that it's a better one
But it's more intolerant and it divides
Something that can't be denied
You don't realize you're empty inside
You think you're the only one that's right
You'll do anything you'll even lie
Because you can't handle what's wrong with your life
You can't control yourself
So you control everyone else
Don't be a part of the wicked woke
Don't let your life be a joke

You're Being Watched
02:47
|
|||
|
You have no privacy
You can't go anywhere to be free
Cameras everywhere
They're watching you despair
And you just don't care
You're being watched
No matter where you go
You're being watched
From above and below
You're being watched
It's the status quo
You're being watched
Don't you know there's no privacy
There's nothing you can do that I can't see
Watch what you say online
It'll be there for all time
They're watching you everywhere
And you just don't seem to care
They're watching you up and down
In and out, here and there
They tell you that they're helping you
And make you think it's really cool
But then they know how you think
Abusing your data really stinks
They claim it's for security
And say what it takes to deceive
Is that what you call being free
It doesn't sound like it to me
We ignored warnings of 1984
They're spying at your door
There's nowhere left to hide
No matter how hard you have tried

No Forgiveness
03:02
|
|||
|
There is no forgiveness anymore
Watch out society will settle the score
One mistake and you'll have me die
I can't explain myself because you won't even let me try
Don't you know there's No Forgiveness
You apologize but they just don't care
Don't you know there's No Forgiveness
You say sorry it means nothing so don't even try
No more humor allowed
You may offend
Guilty even though proven innocent
Any evidence has been ignored
You said something long ago
Now it's wrong just because they said it's so
Excoriated because of the past
This no forgiveness cannot last
It doesn't matter to them that your life's been destroyed
We've gone back to pagan times
Where they kill you for your crime
Forgiveness is the way that will save the world
There is no forgiveness left inside of you
You don't care about anyone else that is why you're so cruel
They want you to want the power so you won't be kind
Sorry means mothing to you it won't even pacify
So why don't you try forgiveness
Try
Forgiveness
