GENERATION KILL LYRICS

1. Born To Serve

DESPITE EVERYTHING YOU THINK YOU KNOW
YOU'RE RULED BY A RUINOUS PACK OF LIES
YOU MEAN NOTHING IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS
YOU'RE NOTHING IN THIS VACUUM HOLE OF TIME

YOU ARE BORN TO SERVE
A ONE USE BATTERY
A SLAVE NEVER TO BE FREE
THIS IS ALL WE ARE
NOTHING TO BECOME
WAY PASSED THE POINT OF NO RETURN

THE INSANE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN LEADING THE BLIND
DOWN A PATH TO BENEFIT THEIR CAUSE
THEIR DISEASE FORCED INSIDE A STOLID MIND
"NOW PRAY TO JESUS ON THAT CROSS!"

YOU ARE BORN TO SERVE
A ONE USE BATTERY
A SLAVE NEVER TO BE FREE
THIS IS ALL WE ARE
NOTHING TO BECOME
WAY PASSED THE POINT OF NO RETURN

2. Prophets Of War

[Lyrics: Rob Dukes, music: Rob Moschetti, Jason Trenczer, Jason Velez]

Are you in fear of retribution
For all the actions of your past?
In the wake of your destruction
All the lives shattered from your wrath

Are they haunting you?
Do you fell any remorse?
With total apathy
You just stayed the course

Did you ever stop to question
All the lives that you've destroyed?
With all your lies and your corruption
A grieving mother has lost her son

Are they haunting you?
Do you fell any remorse?
With total apathy
You just stayed the course

On the battlefield left to die alone
In a place with no name
Corrupt bureaucrat down in Washington
They treat war like a game

Expendable pawn
That's your only role
They don't care about you
Hey, America
Keep taking all your pills
And never see the truth

[2x]
We will save the world
Pray to us
We are the prophets of war

Total genocide of the human race
Seems their final goal
The news fills us with filthy lies
The truth is never to be told

It's all part of their evil plan
To keep us mindless sheep
Pray to our god, he'll save your soul
Keep watching TV

[2x]
We will save the world
Pray to us
We are the prophets of war

[4x]
We will save the world
Pray to us
We are the prophets of war

3. Death Comes Calling

My downward spiral of self-destruction
So hard to live in my own skin
My biggest fear is self-reflection
The mirror shows me who I am
A liar, thief, manipulator,
Always choosing the wrong path
Always making wrong decisions
I will always be the loneliest of men

[Chorus]

Self-loathing is my home
The pills they ease the pain
I'm drowning in alcohol
Opiates, my true love
The needle finds the vein
Cowardly, wanting death to call

[Solo: J. Velez]

To feel that drug is all I live for
To feel its love wash over me
My body craves, my mind, it wants more
It's always calling out to me
In every shadow and every corner
Always searching out for me
I suffer alone with my hatred
This wretched agony that is me

[Rep. Chorus]

[Solo: J. Trenczer - J. Velez]

Tomorrow I'll try to recover,
I'll reach out to my family
Just one night with my lover
"Hello death, you've come for me?"

4. Friendly Fire

[Solo: J. Trenczer]

Haunted by the realization
Reliving that moment in time
Searching for some salvation
Your service, now called a crime
Your life is filled with hate
What you hate the most is you
There is nowhere to hide
When you're running from the truth

[Chorus]

Fog of war - Who's the enemy?
Death galore - No casualties
Taking no prisoners - Leaving no one alive
Fog of war - Kill everything
Death galore - No clemency
Taking no prisoners - Leaving no one alive

Nightmares feel so real
Lead claiming flesh and bone
Your mind so hard to heal
For your sins you will atone
No escape from your mind
Your demons keep coming back
For your brothers you left behind
Your fragile mind collapsed

[Rep. Chorus]

[Solo: J Trenczer]

[Rep. Chorus]

5. Carny Love

Tipping the scales at 610,
She is 5 foot nothing and hungry again
People think I'm crazy, but I love her so
I bet you can't wait to see the next show
I stick needles through my eyelids and cock
I make grown people scream in horror and shock,
I dangle from wires with hooks through my back,
Come hit my scrotum with a baseball bat

Love, carny love, it's my home where I belong

[Solo: J Trenczer]

Our web-footed children are covered with hair,
Out in public, everyone stares

Our life gives power, power to choose
Under their hair they are covered in tattoos
You can't understand how we live these lives
A ring on that bottle and claim that shit prize
Head back to home and forget we were here
What's growing in your daughter
Is what you should fear- it's my

Love, carny love, it's my home where I belong

You can't change me! We are changelings!

[Solo: J Trenczer]

We go to town spreading our seed
Your wines and your daughters so willing to please
Perpetuate our kind is our number one plan
We pray at night for an elephant man

Babies, more babies the most hideous kind
Brother and sister they make the best ones
We're trying to make one with 2 heads and 5 legs
We can charge more and we'll all get paid

6. Vegas

Wow

She left her home and headed for the city of angels
Dreaming of her name in lights and all the tabloid pages
She stopped along the way for two fun nights in Vegas
One hit from that pipe, now she's got a habit

He's got slick black hair and a smile that's just a greasy
Cheap cigars, a worn-out suit, and a stable full of ladies
He's got her hooked on meth, now she's a girl who never says "Maybe"
Giving head in the back of cars, so goddamn far from Kansas

[2x]
Vegas took her soul
The desert owns her dreams

She cries at night alone to the stranger in the mirror
He took everything from her, it's all becoming clearer
Now's the time for her to put a stop to all the madness
He's a guy no one will miss, his body is burned to ashes

[2x]
Vegas took her soul
The desert owns her dreams

She stands above him in the dark
He is sleeping
The moonlight glistens off the knife in her hand
The blade so sharp,
It longs for violence
Her heart so black
It longs for blood
His blood flowing
For what he's done
Revenge for her soul
Revenge for her dreams
Revenge for her soul
Revenge for her dreams

[2x]
Vegas took her soul
The desert owns her dreams

[4x]
Vegas took her soul
The desert stole her dreams

7. There Is No Hope

The world lives in a matrix of lies, to expose them is treason
Corruption begins at the moment of life, disposed without reason
This time will never be the same, We're on the brink of destruction
Will man ever want to change this path to extinction

[Solo: J Trenczer]

Consume every resource there is to take, man is a virus
The rich they prey upon the weak, an unscrupulous tyrant
Christ is what hey want you to find, that contemptuous lie
Now they control your mind, the blind leading the blind

Is this all we are? Nothing more to become
We have lost our way! We are only a plague!

[Solo: J Velez]

Time for the world to pay its debt
The end certainly coming
Man will see his final death, no one surviving
Revenge for all that we have done, our liquefaction
Now only good will come from our total destruction

Is this all we are? Nothing to become
We have lost our way! We are only a plague!

Invading the host, we're a deadly disease
Destroying the air and poisoning the seas
We kill everything that we don't understand
We are a virus, a virus called man

It's all gone - There is no hope

Contagion has spread and there's no quarantine
There's no cure for man, he's a violent disease
All we have brought here is death and fear
No one will cry when we all disappear

It's all gone - There is no hope

[Solo: J. Velez - J. Trenczer - R. Moschetti]

8. We're All Gonna Die

I fucking hate what you stand for, I hate all your lies
Your twisted old thinking will be our demise
You ruined this country with your band of thieves
Freedom and honor is brought to its knees
You control the media, spewing hatred and fear
We'll be lucky if we live another year
Big brother is watching with total control
Don't worry about the children, they'll Never grow old

[Chorus]

There's no saving us! We're all gonna die!

Driving our future with your lies and your fear
Power and money is all you hold dear
You don't give a fuck about the common man
Just about the power that you wield in your hand
Destroying anyone who doesn't think like you
Destructive cancer in everything that you do
Mother nature once again defiled and raped
Your only course of action, "Is there any money to make?"

[Rep. Chorus]

[Solo: J. Velez]

There's no saving us!
You're killing us!
It's the end of us!
We're all gonna die!

We - Can't - Be - Saved!
We're all gonna die!
