And To The Republik 02:01
lyrics
buy track
I pledge allegiance to the flag which stands for all that we once were The labor slaves in unseen chains capitalism indentured The media controls our lives and shoves its blackwhite down our throats With justice blind and full of shit, the highest bidder gets the votes Life, liberty and happiness while living in these walls of glass America has shoved the Constitution up its bleeding ass Security is tantamount and we are always watching you You citizens cannot be trusted, my campaign's here, please contribute Shit is as shit does and we're doing our best Let's piss on our standards, put patriotism to the test Shit is as shit does and we're fueled by your fear As is simply because I smell revolution here

Antisocial 02:43

The only thing I'm faithful to is faith in nobody You can't trust anyone, they'll do you wrong Exhausted and disgusted with a world that's full of hate It's pissed on me and pissed me off too long And this time we see who our real friends are There's me, myself and I, I think that's all I've tasted this society and don't think I will again Hello once more, familiar walls Don't rely on no one because they only change with time They'll kick you in the ass to get ahead Loneliness is a bitch but at least that way you stay sane They take and take and take until you're dead And this time we see who our real friends are There's me, myself and I, I think that's all I've tasted this society and don't think I will again Hello once more, familiar walls And when you're left behind and you've been forgotten What will you think and will you still care why When ideals you were sure would last forever Don't hold up anymore, let's watch them fly, watch em fly Watch em go, watch em go, watch em go, watch them go, watch them go Have you ever seen a mob setting us back a hundred years Does their bullshit piss you off and put you out Consider on another path, that could have been you too It's wiser not to take the touted route And this time we see who our real friends are There's me, myself and I, I think that's all I've tasted this society and don't think I will again Hello once more, familiar walls

I can't believe the luck I'm havin, think I deserve better than this It's true I just can't win for losin, my fortune's trapped in an abyss You break our dates and I'm still there, you brush me off and you don't care I stick around and take it in, roll with your punches, let you win Lately I realize that it's me that is the one that's wrong, I see While I'm here waitin by my phone I could be better off alone I really would like to believe you that you're the way you seemed to be But that face is looking real familiar so don't expect a sale to me You break our dates and I'm still there, you brush me off and you don't care I stick around and take it in, roll with your punches, let you win Lately I realize that it's me that is the one that's wrong, I see Yes ma'am, I'm givin you this tone cuz I'll be better off alone

Crasher 01:48

So now I got some new friends and I want you to meet them I heard that you're having a party tonight I heard we're not invited but that's okay, I won't fight it We're comin anyway and I don't care if it's all right So we're bringing quite a posse and it's gonna happen fast Too bad that we forgot to let you know Knock over all the furniture and drink up all your booze Find as many windows as the bricks we'll throw We'll key your daddy's Lexus and I'll give it golden rims Leave butts and beer cans all over the yard Put donuts in the lawn and maybe set the grass on fire For us to have fun with you isn't hard I hope you called the cops before we rode up I hope you never find the clever spot we're gonna throw up I hope you understand it's personal, and now we show up Grow up? What's that?

Full Circle 02:15
lyrics

Whoa now you got me girl, you strung me along and you dropped me when you found someone else I should be real distraught now shouldn't I? But I'm not so you may as well play with yourself No it's not apathy and in actuality I feel real good cuz this time I'm not to blame Cuz for all of your talkin bout havin played me I was playin you the whole fuckin time It's true cuz life is full of tricks like you My friend remember things come full circle in the end No I won't reconcile, maybe we're both juvenile but I got a laugh in spite of it all Don't expect a reaction or depression or retraction, don't expect to see any holes in my wall You shoulda come around a year or two in the past cuz you might have had a little more fun Now I'll let you in on something that was true from the start, I never told you once you were the only one It's true cuz life is full of tricks like you My friend remember things come full circle in the end

Gray 02:24
lyrics

Here I stand upon the edge of a new frontier Don't know what I want, it's been dictated for so many years It's never been this way, road of uncertainty Look back one more time, is anything left? Picture if you can, the friend you knew don't even know your name Will you understand when things constant don't ever stay the same It's never been this way, road of uncertainty Look back one more time, is anything left? And live from day to day, the past is far away Just keep on moving on though all you've known is gone, gone

Moon 02:56
lyrics
buy track
Met a girl who really turned me on, started thinking she could be the one Took her out and got to know her soon, walked together underneath the moon Sweet romantic night, moon is shining bright Silence fills the cold dark air, no one else is there Sat at the lake and told her I love you, she told me that she felt the same way too Passion rising as we shared a kiss, who could ever have expected this? Sweet romantic night, moon is shining bright Silence fills the cold dark air, no one else is there The moon exploded after we embraced, our date was finished, like the human race The lack of gravitational forces threw Earth into the sun, who expects this? Cataclysmic night, moon is burning bright All life exterminated, everyone is dead, everyone is dead

Out 03:18
lyrics

I hear somebody call my name, it echoes back but not the same Why are you screaming out so loud? I think I could be tripping out Understatement and exaggeration, 14 different points of view Extrasensory stimulation comes from everything you do Don't I know you? It's so hard to see you, I can't remember who you are There's a thousand eyes staring at me, light so blinding from afar Lack of understanding, something awry, somebody tell me am I gonna die? Nervous feeling of paranoia in unfamiliar surroundings Tel me please does my presence annoy ya? Reality in my ears rings It's so distant, is it really there, I've forgotten what it was You know, fuck it I don't even care, need to know why than because Lack of understanding, something awry, somebody tell me am I gonna die? I hear somebody call my name, it echoes back but not the same Why are you screaming out so loud? I think I could be tripping out

Prep 02:39

Talkin like you're walkin, walkin like you're somethin Faker fake than fake has ever faked it before Wearin out your status, social apparatus Walk all over people as if they were your floor I'm not good enough for you and I don't wanna be If bein good enough means sellin out So talk behind my back and drag my name right through the dirt That's all that your life is all about Well now I should backtrack, I was kinda like that Livin up to standards that never were me Maybe deep inside you there's a chance that you too Could change but that'd be strange from everything that I seen I'm not good enough for you and I don't wanna be If bein good enough means sellin out So talk behind my back and drag my name right through the dirt That's all that your life is all about I don't know why you like to spread your gossip and your cursin You know they say that everybody is a special person There's no one else in the whole world like you And thank fuck for that, so go back to your crew now Wearin designer clothes and bein a dick You're downin everyone that's not in your clique Oh yeah, it's all a game to see who you can outclass I hope you find a better way or that someone kicks your ass

Why don't you cut me some slack, what did I do to you Why don't you get off my back, go find somebody new I see just where I went wrong, is this the best I could do? You've fucked me over so long, enough that I'm over you I just want to go get loaded and say fuck it all I've taken taken taken everything you give and I'm bound to fall Another pile of bullshit's comin my way every time you call There's gotta be a better way to live than by the balls, the balls I wanna know why do you so completely suck, just get the fuck Commitment with someone like you is best reserved for the blind Unless you find somebody who is out of their fuckin mind It's times like this I can see solitude ain't so bad I always had the idea that breaking up would be sad I just want to go get loaded and say fuck it all I've taken taken taken everything you give and I'm bound to fall Another pile of bullshit's comin my way every time you call There's gotta be a better way to live than by the balls, the balls I wanna know why do you so completely suck, just get the fuck I wanna know why do you so completely suck, just get the fuck Get the fuck, get the fuck, fuck you

Don't fit in, never did, and of that I'm sure Things get fucked all around in a fucked up blur I'm not sure where I stand, where I stood and who I am, somethin's pressuring me Get a car, get a job, get a life, get a clue, stop pressuring me Can't understand what these assholes expect of me I won't change my whole life just to say I belong to a group with some friends and I'm at my wit's end, somethin's pressuring me At the point where I don't give a fuck if they won't stop pressuring me Get off my back cuz I don't wanna be like you Talk all you want cuz I'm not listening to you I know now where I stand, where I stood and who I am, nothin's pressuring me Got no car, got no job, got no life, got no clue, put a bullet through me

Whose Fault? 03:17
lyrics
buy track
To see you in another's arms, it knocked me down and broke my heart It brings to mind your truthless words that you and I would never part And while I'm stuck with loneliness you don't even seem to care To you it's like you never met me, everyone knows it just ain't fair Whenever you see me, it happens every day You try to ignore me, you cast your eyes away Just what is your problem and what did I do to you? Still never broke up with me, that's the least you could do You act like I used to go and shove you around Guess there's another sucker takin the crown I treated you just like the queen that you were, or that I thought you were Well I hope the bruises that you'll get from life hurt I'm thinkin about us, not the way we used to be Just when you decided that somethin was wrong with me Still waitin for that call, just let me know I'm ditched And so I'm still waiting now tell me who's the bitch You act like I used to go and shove you around Guess there's another sucker takin the crown I treated you just like the queen that you were, or that I thought you were I hope the bruises that you get from life hurt
