1. Security Breach
[performed by ZED]
Ignorance is easy
Absorbed lies
Resistance ignored
Security is the lie
Ignorance is easy
LIES!
2. Chip
[performed by ZED]
It comes as no surprise
More control devised, it's closer, personal
Meant for all to succumb to
Sadly, the usual Christian enemies
Are on the same side as I am
In rejecting the chip and nothing more
It's more than paranoia
Fucking fascist government lies
We are mere pawns for their control
We are told over and over
This time we can not ignore
Tagged and tracked another animal
Computer chip inside your skull
Compromise freedom for peace of mind
You're never free under watching eyes
You'll never be found
No where to run, no one can hide you
They'll know how you live
What you buy, who you're with and when you'll die
It is here
It is real, our right to privacy
Stolen and revealed
There's no way to live if you let this exist
What makes you think you're exempt?
How much choking can you take?
It's happening, make no mistake
Painless brain washing from which we must awake.
3. Stagnation
[performed by ZED]
No feeling
This place bringing nothing
Too familiar with my surroundings
Inhibiting, compromising my ability
Comfort breeding apathy
A struggle against all that you know
Trying to reach deeper
Just to find that nothing is there.
Experience does not fall into the laps of those who sit still. If you haven�t seen, if you don�t move on, what have you to say?
4. Labor
[performed by ZED]
An hour of toil
A pocket of petty change
Wage slave
Selling time for pay
The day is done
I'm so fucking tired
A days worth of labor
A handful of money
Sometimes I feel like I can't break the surface
Sometimes it feels like my lungs are filled with water
At others it feels like I've just been through work
I've just been through work
I've just been through work
The day is done
So fucking tired
The day is done
5. Giant
[performed by ZED]
When he screams at her
And hits her
In his little mind
A little man
Becomes a giant
So she conceals her bruises
And begins to cry
Such a giant
The man at her side
6. Area Wiretap
[performed by ZED]
It's an area wiretap
Careful what you say
Use a trigger word
The cops are on their way
Forget about justice
We're talking society
Whether you're 10 or 21
They'll lock you up the same
High crime areas will be like prisons soon
House arrest - prisons have no room
Parking tickets and piss tests
All their rules the same.
On your back through paper work
Waiting for your mistake TO LOCK YOU AWAY!
The constitution has been suspended
Was it ever good anyway?
Seeking the security of the Police State!
7. No Past
[performed by ZED]
I feel separated from
What I once knew
Was that really me?
I know it was not you
The decisions made
Were not made by me
What you became
Who could foresee?
Did I imagine you?
Who were you anyway?
To feel your hate
Locked so far away
You're the cause of your own suffering
Wearing disguises in place of what you could be
You're not worth my thoughts
You're not worth my feelings
But I still feel the effects; it's never ending
The past degrades into memory
And all that occurred is slowly fading
It seems foolish that I ever even tried
All that happened could be denied
Viewed as someone else's life
In a long forgotten time
Leave me with no past
More true than what exists
You're the cause of your own suffering
Wearing disguises in place of what you could be
You're not worth my thoughts
You're not worth my feelings
But I still feel the effects; it's never ending
8. Inherited Behavior
[performed by ZED]
The values we are given
How we're told to interact
Are taught through old patterns
We're not supposed to react
It's the cause of too much suffering
Analyze what sets you back
So much is how we choose it
If we choose to act
Needs are created
That you don't need
Restrictions
Are just lies
Blind tradition
Sickening thoughts
Products of self apathy
Never questioning
What's being taught
Fear of changing reality
I see where it leads people when they don't control their lives
Life becomes a sterile routine where all they do is just survive
Needs are created
That you don't need
Restrictions
Are just lies
History rules
Instead of vision
Resentment is the thing that thrives
Acknowledge
That we're all affected
And crave a better life!
9. Brain Problem
[performed by ZED]
Down this street
Or anyone really
I'm hoping for invisibility
I'm sweating underneath their vision
Hiding, suffocating
Just so they won't see me
I hate these barriers
I want protection
From their realizations
That they should leave me
The fuck alone
If I could walk
As bare and free as they do
I wouldn't have boiling blood inside
Beads of sweat outside
But I don't want to hear it
So I'm trapped under
Hot iron drapes for protection
I'll probably walk this way forever
Hunched around my own self
When confidence arises
I'm put to shame
Fear and sadness
I can't stop their words
Or uninvited comments
They only worsen
As time elapses
They'll never get it
They'll never get it
They'll never get it
They'll never get it
They'll never get it
They'll never get it
They'll never get it
They'll never get it
They'll never get it
They'll never get it
They'll never get it
They'll never get it
They'll never get it
10. The Road
[performed by ZED]
Driving, the road appears to be endless
Seems like you're going nowhere at all
But in time you reach your destination
The reward is that you got there at all
Once you are there you do what's important
What it's you drove all that way for
Search for like minds, dig through the bullshit
Do just what you drove all that way for
Feeling tired of this town
Feels as if I'm in a cage
Time to leave and explore
The stops made along the way
The people who offer hope
Friends made along the way
Connections that never fade
The reason that I stay
Eyes get so heavy
Staring down the road
I look next to me
My friend sleeping peacefully
Eyes get so heavy
Staring down the road
I live for this time!
Driving through the next town
Everything is still
It's an odd morning hour
I keep driving on
I look next to me
My friend sleeping peacefully
Coffee in my veins
My friend sleeping next to me
I feel if I blink again my friend will be disappearing
And I'll drive alone
But with no destination
Frantically asking
Doesn't someone have somewhere to go?
11. Lord Of The Land
[performed by ZED]
To some it means money
To some property
To some it's a home
Where they eat, love and sleep
They'll foreclose
They'll abandon
They'll arrest squatters
Cuz they want it empty
They own it for profit
People are renters
Landlords living
Off the lives of others
The cycle repeats
In the capitalist machine
Until each aspect of life
Is reduced to commodity
Profiting on a common need
Lying with a straight face
Inherited money
Exploiting the city's poor
Selfish bastards never learn!
Keep pocketing the money
LAND lord
LORD of the LAND!
Some day they'll be forced to learn
12. Tell It Like It Is
[performed by ZED]
Look
Into the depths
Of your soul
What do you find there?
What?
What?!
Beat me up
I'll still say it
You won't bring me down
Your time is up
Your time is over
You will never make it
Mine will never drown!
How can you sleep at night?
LIES!
What goes around comes around
Truth, the only truth
Prove my reason!
Your conscience is dead
Your conscience is dead
Your conscience is dead
Put your toys away
TRUTH!
You can't hide it or decide it
Your conscience is dead
Put your toys away...
