1. Circus Of Fools

They'll promise you your future
In their hands you'll succeed
Believe in every word they speak
More contributions to their greed

Service for the fools
Preach and you will listen
Follow God without
Breaking The Rules
Look at all the lives
So taken by religion
Now initiated
Circus of fools

All you really believe in
Is how much you can scam
It's all about donations
To the loving preacher man
He's always there for you
Sunday morning's PTL
Well if heaven is like this
I'd rather go to hell

I'll make you holy – Just give me more
Time is what I need – To get into your brain
Filled with lies so profound – You prey to me
And think I can help – No way
I am the righteous one – To help you find your soul
It's too bad – You are blind
You can't see through my lies – Which make you want to
You believe you are saved – No way

Your facts are from reality
Just brainwashed through and through
So start believing in yourself
And don't let others preach to you

2. Aggravated

Authoritarian attitudes change the way we live
No one seems to realise how much we have to give
They label us as stupid don't listen to a word we say
But we'll just keep fighting, soon we'll have our day

Is this democracy or authoritarian rule
Land of the free, but we're treated like fools
If they'd just listen, I know for sure they'd find
It's not a lot of noise, we also have minds

I'm tired of being treated as a second rate citizen
I'm no different except that I protest
Is this shame me or am I truly free?
How can all start, I can't begin to guess

They don't give us a chance, I think they are afraid
Of what we might say would upset the life they made
They keep telling us what they feel is wrong
But there's so much more, so I put it in a song

We can't sit by as they diminish our lives away
They can't keep us down, they're resistance dissipates
Seeing their faults, I can't turn my head
I just sit and smile as my feelings turn to hate

3. Last Laugh

You say I'll never succeed at anything I do
I should be more determined be more like you
Saying the road to your future is looking bright
All your saying is you can't tell wrong from right

You're climbing so high up the corporate ladder
Hurting people to do it but they doesn't matter
All that life is to you is how rich you can get
Someday there just might be nothing left

1 got the last laugh
here's nothing you can do
I got the last laugh
Now who's laughing at who

All the pressure is building up inside of you
Too many responsibilities what are you gonna do
Your so afraid and won't admit the truth
You say it's not fair this should happen to you

You're out of work how are you going to survive
You don't have enough money to help stay alive
Too many decisions you don't know what to do
Now I'm having the last laugh at you

4. Overcome

Time goes by as they feed the fire
The future now shows us what's to come
Vermin set in as they spawn the mire
Yet we anguish and more is done

The infection continues to demoralize
What is left will someday soon be nothing more
Our water and air slowly deteriorate
Just a mere shadow of what was there before

We've been overcome

Helping hand they wield a vice
Degrade our lives to iniquity
These are taxes hard at work
So why aren't they helping me?

The toxins destroy consume malevolence
And the politicians still can't compromise
Future youth are put forth in this vile world
In our society we still are brutalized

We've been overcome

Contamination
It's our future
Abomination
We must rise

5. Deteriorate

The deterioration of modern society
Has begun for you and me
They put us down and keep us down
We protest silently
Living life day by day
A step closer to the sky
Seeing things that frighten you
Seeking now to die

Modern man's losing battle
To seal his own fate
Lost into a fading void
Prey to manipulate

What is really going on behind
Your cheap pathetic grin
Politically you've lied and
Morally you've sinned
Smiling as you lie to me
Prey on lacking minds
Locked out of your shallow world
Fearing what we'll find

Do you have opinions the thoughts
You've held so long
Inspired you to rebel against
What was and still is wrong
Reinforcement of rules at us with
Each and every day
To speak out, to fight against
Provides another w ay

6. See Through You

I can see right through you
A little game with no rules
I can't believe you're so cruel
But to you it's nothing new

Think you had me in your trap
But it's a little game I played
Making it seem there was nothing wrong
Now it's time for you to pay

Wait till it's my turn – See through you
Then you will soon learn – See through you
Our lives aren't quite the same – See through you
It's time to end the game – See through you

It was a little game to mess with my head
I was stupid to follow, I was misled
Believed everything that was said was true
But I was used for far too long by you

My life to you is just a game
And I'm going to end it now
So it's time for my revenge
Don't worry when, you should worry how

7. Just Went Black

Stricken by fear
Feelings you generate
Cries turn to laughs
Laughter turns to hate

That's the way it is, never seems to change
Minds were filled with hope, now are filled with rage

Scream all you want
It won't go away
It keeps coming back
A laugh in your face
Fight for your life
And dig your own grave

So much hatred
Knife in my back
There is no one
It just went black

They will tell you
Life's not that bad
Modern sucker
It all went black

Death is their friend
Someone on to rely
Have you got a future
Because your gonna die
Breed us to kill
Fill our head with lies

Hatred burns deep
Eyes of our youth
Rebellion at hand
Catching up with you

That's the way it was, now it's time to change
Minds are filled with hope, thoughts to rearrange

8. Drift

Drift away into the shadows of your mind
Look within yourself and maybe you will find
What you have always been searching for
Turn the key and open up the the door
Does someone tell you how to live your life?
Does someone tell you when you should die?

Do you really need someone to hold on to you
Have you finally found what you want, what you need to do

So drift away into the shadows of your mind
I hear you say that life is so unkind
Do you feel that you are all alone?
Do you need something to call your own?
Sometimes I feel life moves too fast
So I go drifting and I'm never coming back

I drift freely into my open mind
I'm looking, I'm searching but still I cannot find
The things I want, the things I need
The thoughts in my head only I conceive
There is a meaning to what I feel inside
Until I can find it, there is a place to hide

Do you really need someone to hold on to you?
Have you finally found what you want, what you need to do?

9. Altered Visions

My eyes see the subversion
Taking away the thoughts
Subliminal conception
It's image calls the shots
Temptation is alluring
I can't find the start
But when they walk beside me
In death I will take part

It fills my mind beyond restraint
What can I see
My feelings are felt far away
Only way to me
In pain I scream my life away
No one listens
This beast has thrust it's claws in deep
Altered visions

When I reveal this fantasy
There arc no friend or foe
Others will live my reality
Relapse to what I know
Lunacy thrives throughout my vains
You won't see me crack
I'll change myself in every way /
Before this life goes black

10. Addiction

Corrupting the third world
Lying to appease
Destroying smaller countries
Comes to you with ease

Conquering the world
Pledging democracy
Leading us to ruin
Brink of insanity

Addiction to power
Killing to succeed
Addiction to corrupt
Doing as you please

Taking every bit
Bleeding dry the nation
Leading us to hate
Overbearing frustration

Marching through the world
Ticket to oblivion
Killing as a goal
Death among the living

11. One Last Thought

Skating along upon thin ice
Of this thing we call modern life
Blinded by what we want to see
Believing that we're oh so free

Is there truth in anything today?
Is war really heading this way?
These are questions asked again and again
Endless circle where no one wins

Living with your resolutions
Is killing me one of your solutions
Behind the lines you plot and scheme
But some believe it's the American dream

Waking up every day is the same
Feeling that I'm a step behind in the game
Reasoning with you has proved no use
Rebellion seems to be our only truth

You think we're all just a fucking joke
Someday on those words you'll choke
Laugh at us as rebellion begins
Anarchy is rising again
