1. False Flag

F E A R you listening?
Red, White and Blue won't look out for you
F E A R you listening?
Land of the free? Where is our liberty?
F E A R you listening?
Red, White and Blue won't look out for you
F E A R you listening?
Land of the free? where is our liberty?

We the people just wanna feel safe
By destroying ourselves and everything in our way
We the people live in fear and faith
While we struggle to get by on a minimum wage
We the people just wanna feel safe
By destroying ourselves and everything in our way
We the people live in fear and don't wanna break the chains
we're enslaved by our ignorant ways

We are... we are, we are hopeless, the only ones to blame
feeding on the wounds, living off the remains
We are lab rats, for a routine test
Turning the wheel, doing what we do best
We are hopeless, the only ones to blame
Scared to death and so conveniently tamed
So stay calm, don't wanna rattle the cage
Don't wanna wake up the snake, he hasn't eaten in days

The TV screen is spreading disease
Check your head
Before you know it, you bought their scheme
Now you're dead
We are programmed, mindless role-players
Be aware
I spill my guts for you and I'll spell it out for you

We the people just wanna feel safe
By destroying ourselves and everything in our way
We the people live in fear and faith
While we struggle to get by on a minimum wage

F E A R you listening?
Red, White and Blue won't look out for you
F E A R you listening?
Land of the free? Where is our liberty?
F E A R you listening?
Red, White and Blue won't look out for you
F E A R you listening?
Land of the free? where is our liberty?

This just in
so don't touch that dial, this is not your regularly scheduled program
(We are under attack)
The suits and ties are full of lies, they don't have our back
(We are under attack)

So lock your doors and hammer nails in the boards
cover your windows baby, here comes the storm
Here comes the storm

The TV screen is spreading disease
Check your head
Before you know it, you bought their scheme
Now you're dead
We are programmed, mindless role-players
Be aware
I spill my guts for you and I'll spell it out for you

F E A R you listening?

F E A R you listening?
F E A R you listening?
Red, White and Blue won't look out for you
F E A R you listening?
Land of the free? where is our liberty?
F E A R you listening?
F E A R you listening?
We are under attack, we are under attack
F E A R you listening?
Red, White and Blue won't look out for you
F E A R you listening?
Land of the free? where is our liberty?

2. Badge & A Bullet

Pull the pin on the fuckin' grenade!
It's time to shed some light at this dark time
Pull the pin on the fuckin' grenade
Is justice served?
I feel like we're being played
Pull the pin on the fuckin' grenade
I'm sick and tired of being scared
Pull the pin on the fuckin' grenade
And blow this joint wide open

The right place at the wrong time
The wrong cop, crooked swine
Who's to say that you're right in this state of mind?
You're in for it, too deep in this state of mine
With no right to disrupt the peace (no right)
We're still singing, this is our release
And no we're not leaving, we've come too far
So you can try it but I won't go quiet (nah)
In the back of a cop car

I shoulda been out
I'm deadly when I pull the pin out

Stay away from me
Punk motherfuckers don't step to me
They abuse their authority
Now I know my enemy
(Stay away from me)
Stay away from me
Punk motherfuckers don't step to me
They abuse their authority
Now I know my enemy

With a badge and a bullet
Itchy finger on the trigger wanting to pull it (pull it)
There's no reason to justify
They just wanna see the lead fly
Yeah, the few that have proof got too much to lose
So they bury the truth (what a surprise)
Straight between innocent eyes, realize
They just wanna see the lead fly

I shoulda been out
I'm deadly when I pull the pin out

Stay away from me
Punk motherfuckers don't step to me
They abuse their authority
Now I know my enemy
(Stay away from me)
Stay away from me
Punk motherfuckers don't step to me
They abuse their authority
Now I know my enemy

They abuse their authority
They abuse their authority

So you can try but I won't go quiet
In the back of a cop car
So you can try but I won't go quiet
In the back of a cop car
You are not above the law!
You are not above the law
You are not above the law
(You are not above the law)

Stay away from me
Punk motherfuckers don't step to me
They abuse their authority
Now I know my enemy
(Stay away from me)
Stay away from me
Punk motherfuckers don't step to me
They abuse their authority
Now I know my enemy
Now I know my enemy

I shoulda been out
I'm deadly when I pull the pin out
I shoulda been out
I'm deadly when I pull the pin out
I shoulda been out
I'm deadly when I pull the pin out
I shoulda been out
I'm deadly when I pull the pin out
I shoulda been out
I'm deadly when I, a-when I...
I shoulda been out,
I'm deadly when I, a-when I...
I shoulda been out,
I'm deadly when I, a-when I...

3. Radio

[feat. Jesse Barnett Of Stick To Your Guns]

So go on and be what they told you to be
they didn’t have faith in me
And now I’m ending up on the radio
So go on, go on and be what they told you to be
They didn’t have faith in me
And now I’m ending up on the radio

I saw you laughing when I chose my path
Just some young punk kid always skipping class
I know that’s what you thought, what you bought but you got it wrong
Look at me now I’m still singing the same songs
Family wants to talk like they know what’s best
Outdated wisdom I’m not at all impressed
I see clear intentions to make me feel less
I’ve only just begun to get this off my chest

I did it, I've made it
I’m a rolling stone and you hate it
Admit it, you're fading
You've missed your train and I’m the one that you’re blaming
So go on and be what they told you to be
They didn't have faith in me
And now I'm ending up on the radio

I did it, I've made it
I’m a rolling stone and you hate it
Admit it, you're fading
You've missed your train and I’m the one that you’re blaming
But I'm ending up on the radio

So go on and be what they told you to be
they didn’t have faith in me
And now I’m ending up on the radio
So go on, go on and be what they told you to be
they didn’t have faith in me
And now I’m ending up on the radio

Now I’m laughing, hahaha!
So out of gas on the verge of breaking down
close to crashing on the side of the road
You'll never get out of this town
Coming clean suppose to be behind me
Out of touch so you judge me blindly
Here we are, here we stand the new breed of success
Feeling good because it’s finally off my chest


I did it, I've made it
I’m a rolling stone and you hate it
Admit it, you're fading
You've missed your train and I’m the one that you’re blaming
So go on and be what they told you to be
They didn't have faith in me
And now I'm ending up on the radio

Get up, get up!

You think your life’s a hit song
No one is singing along
You think your life’s a hit song
No one is singing along
You think your life’s a hit song
No one is singing along
You think your life’s a hit song
No one, no one is singing along

4. Scissor Hands

[feat. Jason Aalon Butler Of Letlive]

We were the best of friends
But you don't need me in the end
You fooled me once, that won't be happening again
We were the best of friends
She's playing games with your head
She fooled you twice, I'll never see my friend again

We were the best of friends
But you don't need me in the end
You fooled me once, that won't be happening again
We were the best of friends
She's playing games with your head
She fooled you twice, I'll never see my friend again
We were the best of friends
But you don't need me in the end
You fooled me once, that won't be happening again
We were the best of friends
She's playing games with your head
She fooled you twice, I'll never see my friend again

Like the skin of a snake, you shed my friend
My fingers they ache, but I still press send
I know you're alone yet you still won't pick up your phone
You're lost in this world looking around for your backbone

Flashing back to the times where we spent
Every hour of every day, where nothing got in our way (in our way)
Flashing back, I wonder what those times even meant
Every hour of every day and now you don't have much to say

I know you're so alone
I know you're so alone

We were the best of friends
But you don't need me in the end
You fooled me once, that won't be happening again
We were the best of friends
She's playing games with your head
She fooled you twice, I'll never see my friend again
We were the best of friends
But you don't need me in the end
You fooled me once, that won't be happening again
We were the best of friends
She's playing games with your head
She fooled you twice, I'll never see my friend again

("Yo Jay, when was the last time you talked to him?"
"To be honest I couldn't even tell you, it's been a minute. I bet you he's caught up with homegirl"
"It's such a shame too, because that girl treats him like shit"
"You know what, Drew, you're right")

You're a leaf in the fall, I've watched it change
Into something you've always hated, that filled you with rage
But I see that it isn't you, this person I kinda know
I hope that you fade away as fast as the wind blows
And she's the queen of hearts, with an ace up her sleeve
And you gave her a diamond kid, because she made you believe

Flashing back to the times where we spent
Every hour of every day, where nothing got in our way (in our way)
Flashing back, I wonder what those times even meant
Every hour of every day and now you don't have much to say

We were the best of friends
But you don't need me in the end
We were the best of friends (you were my nigga)
She's playing games with your head
We were the best of friends
Fuck!
But you don't need me in the end
OK, OK
We were the best of friends
She's playing games with your head

5. Black Friday

There is something in the air I can tell that it's not right
Tonight anything goes after midnight
Watch your back
The world has lost control
Cars full of people who would sell their soul
As they gather far and wide like a cattle
Armed with their wallets, loaded guns for a battle
Look out
I'm still waiting for he world to see
What this life is supposed to mean

You can't buy me I'm not for sale (I'm not for sale)
Money won't buy a heart of gold
They're fresh out
They were free with self control
You can't buy me I'm not for sale (I'm not for sale)
Money won't buy a heart of gold
They're fresh out
They were free with self control

Is there anybody out there?
Does anybody care?
Is there anybody out there?

I would rather have nothing than this
I would rather have nothing than miss (have nothing)
what I really care for, what I'd die for
Rip out my hair for, mothers cry for
Appreciation for the shit you've got
Appreciated is what you're not
I won't be bought

You can't buy me I'm not for sale (I'm not for sale)
Money won't buy a heart of gold
They're fresh out
They were free with self control
You can't buy me I'm not for sale (I'm not for sale)
Money won't buy a heart of gold
They're fresh out
They were free with self control

It goes ,it goes
One for the money
Two for the money
Forget about the Third world
They ain't hungry
Four closed homes
Five missed payments on
Six loans
The dumbest people with the smartest phones
(The dumbest people with the smartest phones, haha)

I fear
Scared that you won't
Next year
You're still ungrateful
It will
I bet that it will
(Be worse) Be worse

Let me express what I'm thankful for
I'm twenty-five, full of pride
Surrounded by the ones I love

I fear
Scared that you won't
Next year
You're still ungrateful
It will
I bet that it will
(Be worse) Be worse

You should all be shameful for
shopping lines, stolen lives
You're still my material whore

American Greed
Too many people buying too many things
They don't even need, they're just following lead
American Greed
Too many people buying too many things
They don't fucking need, it's just American Greed

Everything must go
Tonight, tonight
The world's lost control
Tonight, tonight
Anything goes
Tonight, tonight
We won't be bought or sold
Tonight, tonight

6. Counting Sheep

Start moving your feet, don't just run your mouth
Recognition is weighing you down
(Without a doubt) You're always skipping a beat with no sound
It's so hard keeping up, keeping up with the crowd
Start moving your feet (moving your feet), and don't just run your mouth
(without a doubt) just skipping a beat with no sound
It's so hard keeping up, keeping up with the crowd

And now I'm stuck here wondering how you think it's fine
To put your heart into something for such a short time
Smiles, cheers and high fives, I'm surprised
It's enough in life just to get by
Notoriety is your motivation
High society crumbles with no foundation
(Be prepared) In a country that cries wolf, faking the heart
There hides a beast and he will tear you apart

Post that pic with a hashtag
You wanna get mentioned because you need the attention
And you can repost this, 'cause I don't give a shit
If you got something to say, well you can tag me in it
Post that pic with a hashtag
You wanna get mentioned because you need the attention
And you can repost this, but do you give a shit?
No matter what they say, we know you'll follow it
So follow this, come on

Start moving your feet, don't just run your mouth
Recognition is weighing you down
(Without a doubt) You're always skipping a beat with no sound
It's so hard keeping up, keeping up with the crowd
Start moving your feet (moving your feet), and don't just run your mouth
(without a doubt) just skipping a beat with no sound
It's so hard keeping up with the crowd

Now you're facing the changes while everyone is complaining
Your time is nothing but wasted, I hope it tears you apart
Running for cover like everyone and their mother
But in the end you will suffer, so was the flag worth your heart?
Was the flag worth your heart?

In a country that cries that wolf, faking the heart
There lies a beast and he will tear you apart
In a country that cries that wolf, faking the heart
There lies a beast and he will tear you apart
In a country that cries that wolf, faking the heart
There lies a beast and he will tear you apart
I hope he tears you apart

Don't look, don't look, don't look this wolf in the eyes
You're just a sheep like the others
Running for cover like everyone and their mother
Don't look this wolf in the eyes
You're just a sheep like the others
Running for cover, run for cover

Start moving your feet, don't just run your mouth
Recognition is weighing you down
(Without a doubt) You're always skipping a beat with no sound
It's so hard keeping up, keeping up with the crowd
Start moving your feet (moving your feet), and don't just run your mouth
(without a doubt) just skipping a beat with no sound
It's so hard keeping up, keeping up with the crowd

7. Slice Of Life

You've masked all meaning with some pros
You're caught
I don't even think you know, we've got the evidence concrete
You're sinking with cement on your feet

It must be lonely on the ocean floor
It must be lonely on the ocean floor

There's no separation when you're all on board
Blending in the shadows while the sun is blinding
Leaving an open mind on shore
It makes me think (it makes me think), what other secrets you're hiding
Striving to be the unapproachable
The king on a dead throne of lies
Preaching and speaking with no proof of the truth to the youth
With impressionable eyes

Be afraid, be very afraid

Be afraid, be very afraid
And you should fear me (fear me)
No telling what I'll do, 'cause I know the real you
And now you're drowning
You have no sense of yourself in the sea of lost identity

With an army behind you, there's power inside you
But when you're alone, I bet you're not so hard
With an army behind you, there's power inside you
But when you're alone, I bet you're not so hard

You've masked all meaning with some pros
You're caught
I don't even think you know, we've got the evidence concrete
You're sinking with cement on your feet

It must be lonely on the ocean floor
It must be lonely on the ocean floor

You jump ship real quick to stay ahead of the trend
You tell yourself you like it but we know you pretend
So down to earth, closer to the hardcore
It must be lonely on the ocean floor

It must be lonely
It must be lonely on the ocean floor
(It must be lonely)
It must be lonely on the ocean floor
(It must be lonely)
It must be lonely on the ocean floor
(It must be lonely)
It must be lonely on the ocean floor
It must be lonely
It must be lonely

With an army behind you, there's power inside you
But when you're alone, I bet you're not so hard
With an army behind you, there's power inside you
But when you're alone, I bet you're not so hard

It must be lonely on the ocean floor

8. Tell Them I'm Not Home

Where will I be in ten years?
Not where I thought that's for sure
What made me think, I knew it all
Uncompromising, twenty-something
What mattered became, what doesn't matter anymore
Where will I be in ten years?
Not where I thought that's for sure
What made me think, I knew it all
Some jaded old man
Will nothing matter when death is knocking at my door?

(And he will surely come
And he will surely come)

Death won't wait and regret doesn't suit me well
I fully admit I've become what I've always hated
Death won't wait, but I'll tell you I thought it did
I never thought I'd be struggling, fighting to the-
Death won't wait, jaded or not
All that matters is a change with the best intentions
Death won't wait, in this revolutionary state
Where I can't seem to break down misconceptions

These eyes have seen the world
And it will always be a part of me
I've had time to stop and think
And it's left me here still questioning

Where will I be in ten years?
Not where I thought that's for sure
What made me think, I knew it all
Uncompromising, twenty-something
What mattered became, what doesn't matter anymore

Where will I be in ten years?
Not where I thought that's for sure
What made me think, I knew it all
Some jaded old man
Will nothing matter when death is at my door?

No more, no more, no more, no more
When death comes knocking at my door
No more, no more, no more, no more
What mattered became what doesn't matter anymore

And he will surely come

These eyes have seen the world
And it will always be a part of me
I've had time to stop and think
And it's left me here still questioning

No more, no more, no more, no more
When death comes knocking at my door
No more, no more, no more, no more
What mattered became what doesn't matter anymore

No more, no more
No more, no more
When death comes knocking at my door
No more, no more
What mattered became what doesn't matter anymore

9. Landmines

It's time, it's time to say good bye
I'm not staying here, I'm not staying
While you're waiting, I'm gonna live my life
You've built this prison and the clock is ticking

We're all dying?
No, we're already dead
I haven't breathed since the first time you said,
"I'm gonna change (I'm gonna change), I'm gonna change for good"
But every time we talk I still hear you say,
"I know that I'm better"
Yeah, well that's not enough, you say,
"I'll try to be better"
Yeah, well show me what's up
Because the clock is ticking, it's ticking today
Coming closer and closer to throwing your life away

I've escaped this prison
Now the clock's hands are mine
I've escaped this prison
I can see the sun rise

It's time to say goodbye
I'm not staying here, I'm not staying
While you're waiting, I'm gonna live my life
You've built this prison and the clock is ticking
It's time, it's time to say good bye
I'm not staying here, I'm not staying
While you're waiting, I'm gonna live my life
You've built this prison and the clock is ticking

Yeah I'm doing fine
Doing fine like I walked on land mine
I wanna scream like the day I was born
Gonna start making changes, I'm not sorry anymore (I'm not sorry)
And Yeah I've failed before
But you can see me die trying, never scared of being poor
Never bent for the rich, never gave a shit
When will you listen to this?
You sorry son of a... aah fuck it

You say you have all you need
But you're losing it all
And I refuse to be the one
That's gonna watch you fall

I've escaped this prison
Now the clock's hands are mine
I've escaped this prison
I can see the sun rise

Are we all dying?
No, we're already dead
Are we all dying?
No, we're already dead
I haven't breathed since the first time you said,
Are we all dying?
No, we're already dead
Are we all dying?
No, we're already dead

Right? Come on

It's time, it's time to say good bye
I'm not staying
It's time, it's time to live your life
'Cause the world's not waiting

[Interlude: John F. Kennedy]

10. Anonymous

Behind this mask, there is no religion
No politics, no dead presidents make my decisions
Behind this mask (behind this mask), we are equal
We are all anonymous

Behind this mask (behind this mask, behind this mask), we are you
We want the same things you want
We do what it takes to uncover the truth
We run the same risks you run (you run)
But we'll be damned if we run them for nothing

We are anonymous, cover our faces to uncover ourselves
We are anonymous, we want the same things you want
We do what it takes to uncover the truth

The face of the faceless
The names of the nameless
The voiceless, the selfless
Expect us, expect us

We are anonymous
Cover our faces to uncover ourselves
We are anonymous
Cover our faces to uncover ourselves

One day you'll read about us, but you won't know that it's me
One day you'll see everything that we stand for
One day we'll go down swinging, 'cause I know it's a fight worth fighting
One day you'll see everything that we stand for
One day you'll finally see that we don't sleep so safely
One day you'll see everything that we stand for
The face of the faceless, the names of the nameless
The voiceless, the selfless, accept us, expect us

We are anonymous
Cover our faces to uncover ourselves
We are anonymous
Cover our faces to uncover ourselves

Cover our faces to uncover ourselves
Cover our faces to uncover ourselves
Cover our faces to uncover ourselves
Cover our faces to uncover ourselves
Cover our faces to uncover ourselves
Cover our faces to uncover ourselves
