01. Digging our graves with our own teeth Bruised, but never broken; I’m only getting harder headed and outspoken. I’m not gonna just sit back while the government subsidizes more heart attacks. Health care costs exponentiate. Am I supposed to sit back and wait until the whole world digs itself a grave with its own teeth? No way! Each new generation suffers from greater health degeneration. Start, before it grows too late, to realize it’s what we’re putting on their plate. Health care costs exponentiate. Am I supposed to sit back and wait until the whole world digs itself a grave with its own teeth? No way! Don’t experiment on me! I don’t want to be modified genetically! And no magic pill will cure you like natural hygiene will. Oh, what a big disgrace that we’re spraying poisons on the food that we feed our face. And it falls all over the earth. Hey! Do you realize what this planet is worth?! Health care costs exponentiate. Am I supposed to sit back and wait until the whole world digs itself a grave with its own teeth? No way!

Big companies are pushing pills with claims they’ll cure your ills, but I think it’s snake oil. My body isn’t pill deficient! In fact, it’s rather resistant to foreign chemicals. Throw the pills away! America is drug addicted and only more afflicted by side effects and failed kidneys. I’m calling for an intervention! And with an ounce of prevention we can cure chronic disease. Throw the pills away! And it ain’t even funny what people will do for money, yeah it is so wrong! With their record of deception it’s time to awake your perception to what’s really going on. Money buys FDA approval when studies call for the removal of drugs that kill. They’ll always have new pills to tout. That’s why I’ve got to speak out. If not me then who will? Throw the pills away! Big companies are pushing pills with claims they’ll cure your ills, but I think it’s snake oil. Pills will only treat the symptoms, but never your disease. Do I have to beg you, please? To eat some fruit and ride a bike and you’ll be feeling alright. Get some rest to feel your best. Then you’ll throw the pills away and start a brand new day. You’ve only got one life to live! Throw the pills away!

03. Why don’t you just go away? This is insane. I’m sick and tired of your games, and I don’t really wanna play. Why don’t you just go away? This is the end. I’m not gonna try to pretend that I wanna be your friend. Why don’t you just go away? Just go away!

04. All I’m gonna say The earth is being polluted for no reason when our food gets covered in spray. When you sit to eat your meal of poison, you’d better remember to pray! Chemicals aren’t the answer. That’s all I’m gonna say. Some people will do anything to anyone just for a little pay. Corporations are killing us with greed. Will we let them get away? It’s time to stand up! That’s all I’m gonna say. One single slaughterhouse can kill 30,000 animals in a day. Did you know that they feed their blood to the others? How is that ok?! Have a little compassion. That’s all I’m gonna say. Every 20 seconds there’s another heart attack in the USA. It’s a billion dollar industry and we’re spending more every single day. We’re looking for the answer but it’s sitting on our plate!

05. You’re on your own You’ve gotta make your own way if you want to make it at all. You could waste your whole life waiting for opportunity to call. Don’t put your trust in people because they’ll only let you down. Like all the people you call your friends but when you need them they aren’t around. You’re on your own. You’re all alone. Don’t pay any attention to the rest of the crowd. Misery loves company. They’re gonna bring you down. Living in quiet desperation ain’t no way to live. It’s only gonna be a matter of time before something has got to give. You’re on your own. You’re all alone. You’ve gotta make your own way if you want to make it at all. You could waste your whole life waiting for opportunity to call. Some days I’ve got to get away. I just want to leave this town. I’m sick of all the stupid games played by those who want to see me drown. You’re on your own. You’re all alone.

Tyrant 04:05
06. Tyrant You thought you had it made when you came to power, Ruling with an iron fist to make the people cower. You’re a tyrant. And the people must obey. You’re a tyrant. Gonna get your evil way. But what goes around comes around and you’ll get yours someday. Living in luxury the world is at your feet While the people suffer, they just want something to eat. You’re a tyrant. And the people must obey. You’re a tyrant. Gonna get your evil way. But what goes around comes around and you’ll get yours someday. Genocide and other crimes against humanity. You’d kill anyone against you, you’d kill anyone you see. You’re a tyrant. And the people must obey. You’re a tyrant. Gonna get your evil way. But what goes around comes around and you’ll get yours someday. One day the people will come to even out the score. Whatcha gonna do when they’re breaking down your door? You’re a tyrant. Thought you’d get your evil way. You’re a tyrant. But the people won’t obey. And what goes around comes around and you got yours today.

Minipax 02:57
07.Minipax This is squadron of death to strategic command. We await your orders to rain destruction on this land. To unleash our payloads of violence and hate. They won’t know what’s coming till it’s far too late. And our bombs make us proud. And our bombs make us free. And our bombs make us strong. And with our bombs we can do no wrong. We’ll divide and conquer in the name of truth. The way we were taught in our days of youth. We’ll show no mercy to our enemies. We’ll surround and assail them and bring them to their knees. And our bombs make us proud. And our bombs make us free. And our bombs make us strong. And with our bombs we can do no wrong. All systems are go. Sit back and watch the show. With rockets burning bright we’ll show the world our might. All bombs are away. We’re gonna make them pay! When we remember this day, our kids are gonna say. And our bombs made us proud. And our bombs made us free. And our bombs made us strong. And with our bombs we could do no wrong.

08. You’re everything You don’t know what you mean to me. You are all I can see. You’re everything. You’re everything that I could need. You’re everything to me. I don’t know many things, but I know there’s something about you. I don’t know how to say that I know- You’re everything that I could need. You’re everything to me.

09. Where ya gonna run? I’ve been bruised and broken and left for dead. Left to be tortured by the thoughts in my head. This world is a cruel one filled with misery and tears And I grow wears with the passing years. Where you gonna run? When you’re the only one and you’ve got nowhere left to go. When you can’t take no more of the feeling inside Where ya gonna go? There’s nowhere to hide. Who ya gonna turn to? Where ya gonna run? When you find yourself alone and you’ve got no one. Where you gonna run? When you’re the only one and you’ve got nowhere left to go. When your world is crumbling and the sky is falling down And there’s no shelter to be found. Why must I suffer and I not innocent? This is my torment and this, my lament. Where you gonna run? When you’re the only one and you’ve got nowhere left to go.

10. Slaughterhouse song Locked up and branded, de-horned and de-beaked. No creature has ever known an existence so bleak. Behind walls of concrete and encaged in steel They’ll never know just how the real world should feel. Slash em in the throat! Hang em out to dry! Hear their squeals and hear their cries. A bolt to the head and maybe they’ll be dead! Or paralysed. How could we be so fucked in the head To feed them the bodies of the sick and the dead. Of all the creatures great and small We are for certain the cruelest of all. I can’t understand it no matter how I try. There’s no reason to madness, there is no why.
