Schoolmaster
I think I'm gonna get sick now, Another parent on the rampage,
fast-food lifestyle mind in the Stone Age
Two barrels at back of the enemy, no logic in a lifelong fallacy
See ya-all pedagogue on the frontline, irate mom like a biped landmine


Blind you gave your child to the system, ALL HAIL TO THE SYSTEM

Fire falls on the front, now it's time to get blunt about the way that the ebbs been flowing
Schoolmaster disaster, why don't you work a little faster
Hypocrite, you stone-cold hypocrite, say one thing then show me the opposit

BLIND YOU GAVE YOUR CHILD
You make me see your fallacy so clearly

Combat with a baseball-bat; mind open to the nonpoint chit-chat
Like a blind man in a dark room in the middle of the night,
I see so clearly, Sincerely now, you make me sick somehow
I beg you, I'm on my knees, give a little bit of time to the child please

Blind you gave your child to the system, ALL HAIL TO THE SYSTEM

Mother/father let your children pray
Mother/father teach them to follow the way
Mother/father institution is pollution in me
Mother/father set your children free SET THEM FREE

Splendored Thing
How long's it gonna take Before the scales fall from your eyes
And you realize that he don't love you How bruised you gonna be
Before you pack your bags and leave
Why don't you make some tracks before he makes some on you
You've forgotten how to kiss, Your lips have seen such violence
And underneath your tears something's ruptured
You stand with a confidence that I've never seen before
You stand regardless of the beatings you'll endure

LOVE IS A MANY SPLENDORED THING
How long's it gonna take Before the scales fall from your eyes
And you realize this world don't love you
How bruised you gonna be Before you rest in arms of loving grace
Why don't you save yourself some face Rest in the warmth of Christ's embrace

LOVE IS A MANY SPLENDORED THING

And all I wanted Was to feel the sweet infection of your love
Fists about my body Tears like rivers flow like blood into the ground
Love is love, love is love

Siege Engine
Crowds mount on the shrouds of downtown, RIGHTS- For the people is the chant tonight
Pompoms and machineguns face to face Is this a deathmatch (No) it's a political race
Light shines in the coalmines black as night Fork tongue from a despot's desperate plight
Sunshine on Election Day, but the poles were fixed TOO BAD YOUR GONNA PAY, FOR YOUR INSOLENCE
Get down on your knees and pray That the state won't take your rights away
Undone in the cold with lidless eyes You sway to the despot's lullaby

Nothing breaks me more than all your pain

On the uptown bus to downtown, JOG Through the streets past the old burnt synagogue
A revolution on the wings of change takes flight Nobody gonna stop this crowd tonight
Belgrade on a dark September day School's out all the kids have come to play
Last chance for a despot's desperate plight ALL YA PEOPLE STAND UP TONIGHT
Time stops and the people revolt in peace Another landmine to break the social breach
Born chained to a system of countless lies You sway to the despot's lullaby

Nothing breaks me more than all your pain

We make our stand on solid ground But the ground don't belong to the people
Engines of peace Make walls even tanks cannot defeat
Hand in hand we'll take the land As freedom comes we'll make our stand

WAR
Why do we war against each other Brother versus brother kill one another
Innocents die for politics pick up sticks And start swingin' at the enemy
A nation seeking peaceful restitution looks weak Step up like a man and turn the other cheek
How long must we sing this song Before our bloodlust nations see that killing is wrong NO MORE WAR,

I make my peace with you

Boogie in the East at three o'clock Administration of The Chair prepare yourself for a shock
Iraqi nights are getting hotter now Refugees now leave ground they once plowed
Collateral damages in the kill-zone Rockets red glare crush bones like a battle-drone
How many times have we seen this before A billion people on the brink of a world war
NO MORE WAR, I make my peace with you
Breakfast and bombs go hand in hand From the Gaza Strip, down to the Oklahoma mainland
USA today, administration of peace From the Persian Gulf out to the Barrier Reef
Black gold in the eyes can mesmerize Politicians on the side infantalize
Dumb down to a nation of war Baptized in the blood of the gods of... NO MORE WAR, I make my peace with you


An Unsuspecting Mind
Heaven knows that I can close my eyes and kiss control goodbye
Thoughtful lies confide in warmth, I try to hold you by my side
There's a lotta trash goin' down in the world today
Their blamin' it all on the CIA LAPD, airwaves, and DJ's You hear what I say
Global one-world broadcast calls
Back to the wall, resist your gonna fall
Technology breeds psychology feeds on the innocent Orthodoxology

You fight the system, the system fights you back Until the powers that be are paralyzed

Contradicting moral conflicts compromise a weak foundation
Fundamental concepts slowly grind beneath the weight of statesmen 1,2,3 and we're gone
Welfare check like a demon spawn How long will it take
Before you see that your life's at stake Workmens compensation makes claims
No one else but yourself to blame It won't take to long
Your gonna give yourself to the strong

You fight the system, the system fights you back
Until the powers that be are paralyzed

Systems building walls of trust can try to keep your thoughts confined
And systems that most people trust enslave an unsuspecting mind
Heaven knows that I can close my eyes and kiss control goodbye
Microwave mindsets are manifest in a nation, political thought starvation
Is it only me that can see that our people are slowly forgetting to think
We're on the brink of a worldwide breakdown; one-world-think makes my world somehow bleed
Enslave an unsuspecting mind Heaven knows that I can close my eyes and kiss control goodbye

CHOKE
It's about time we get our act in motion
To the world that breeds destruction, corruption, internal mind disruption
On the backs of the ones who feed he rains
He fills our brains with lies, abortions; bring death in mass proportions
Immoralized distortions weave the fabric of our lives
Surprise, you're hypnotized, Big Brother fills your eyes With dreams of hope, wake up before you choke
His fire can't consume us lest our lungs be filled with smoke

WE VOTE OUR MORALS AWAY, INVITING IN THE DECAY Another notch on the belt of the American Dream

It's about time we get our fight on, sight on, right-on
We'll take our freedom while we can, Step up like a man and be a solda, I told ya,
Replace our thoughts with Folgers crystal-clear I see the light;
Like pistols burning bright I drop defenses down, let the world take over now I pray
And I pray that I won't be mistaken no more the words at the poling box won't help us understand
Apathy has kept us free to follow its commands
Sweet little man-child, tell me what you wanna hear

WE VOTE OUR MORALS AWAY, INVITING IN THE DECAY Another notch on the belt of the American Dream
