Self-Assured Destruction
01:27
|
|||
|
A reflection on humanity:
A vulture flying backwards
Self-Assured Destruction
A swarm of locusts overhead
A chasm forming in the street
Self-Assured Destruction
A looming singularity
branching forever outward
Self-Assured Destruction

Hypochondriasis
01:46
|

|
First it came for swine
Then it came for birds and cows
Hypochondriasis
The SARS was getting close
MRSA's getting closer still
Hypochondriasis
The frenzied mass
Demands a cure that can’t exist
Glaxo Smith and Pfizer just cannot resist
Anthrax in the mail
Lead paint on those Chinese toys
Hypochondriasis
Ebola's in the news
And Zika’s coming for you too

Judgmental Pricks
02:29
|
|||
|
We once found sanctuary
In our flock of freaks and miscreants
Some slammed the gate behind them
And sewed the keys to their vests
False hopes, idolization
“A piss in the ocean,” as it may
Clique-minded, daft exclusion
The judgmental pricks will have their say
This talk of revolution
Revolved full circle in our quest
To trade their system for another
Set of laws with different texts
Grail quests, materialistic
Fanaticism at its best
Glass ceilings, ivory towers
The judgmental pricks will have their say
FALSE HOPE
FALSE HOPE
FALSE HOPE
IDOLIZATION

Dove to Bomb Ratio
01:18
|
|||
|
Careless and callous
You trot out the dead
Images of suffering
Slapped on a shirt
Done in the guise of
protesting wars
A starving child
Pressed on your sleeves
Dove to Bomb
Dove to Bomb
Dove to Bomb
Ratio in excess drowning us all
Countless lyrics
decrying war
Countless records
with blood on their sleeves
Will the proceeds
of your seven inch
Go to those families
Slain in a ditch
A thousand pressed;
Ten thousand died
Empty words and slogans
Drown out their painful cries

Red Windows
01:43
|
|||
|
Alone in your home, alone in a crowd
You’re screaming for help in a vacuum
The narrow walls close inward
RED WINDOWS
The roaches trace your movements
Through a shuttered doorway
The narrow walls close inward
RED WINDOWS
A labyrinth with no exit
The mirror lies shattered
The narrow walls close inward
RED WINDOWS

Caught in the Crossfire
01:19
|
|||
|
Brazen rhetoric
An advancement of sheep
Lulled by the soothing
Noise of intolerance
Caught
Caught in the crossfire
Vile and careless
Fanning the flames
Of racial tension
Reanimated hate
Caught in the crossfire
One by one the states submit
Requests to deny asylum
Caught in the crossfire
