New Paradigm of Fear
05:34
|
|||
|
Paranoid and trapped, there’s no way out
No escape
What’s been unleashed can not be caged
No remorse and no reverse
What can’t be seen can hurt you still
Hidden threat
Are we just slaves in our own homes?
A time for despair, or time for panic?
Is mother cleaning up our mess?
Should we pray, or should we confess?
There’s only tragedy here
In this new paradigm of fear
There is no time we cannot waste
Clock is ticking
And loneliness is our salvation
Isolation keeps us sterile
Worldwide apocalypse of now
Armageddon going viral
We’re live and choking on the stream
As consciousness begins to fade
Can there be a riot with no crowd?
In this new order we have found
Our voice but no one hears the sound
Are we screaming? Is this loud?

Viral Hit
04:24
|
|||
|
Chorus:
This one is gonna be a viral hit.
Spread it around like you don't give a shit.
Once it infects you, it will never quit.
You'll have a manic fit from this viral hit.
Verse 1:
I've got something more infectious than the world's ever seen.
Gonna spread across this land, no one can ever stay clean.
The method of transmission's through the holes in your head.
You can catch it through your headphones laying safe in your bed.
Infectious disease experts working hard for the cure.
Only effective treatment is to listen even more.
It goes into your ears and bashes all around your brain.
Send it to your followers, your friends, can't be contained!
Get it in your system, feel the temperature rise.
As the fever grows, buckle in for the ride!
Verse 2:
Take your mask off and breathe in the contagion.
When it takes hold, you'll be shakin' and ragin'.
The message will be clear and you'll want a revolution.
Your mind will open to extreme and radical solutions.
This is the condition they don't want you to contract.
The kind that exposes what's fictitious and what's fact.
Dialate your third eye in this quarantine dream.
Take your medication and get ready to scream!
You'll need a double dose of what the doctor prescribes.
There's no vaccine, so get prepared for a ride!
Bridge:
The doctors and the scientists can't seem to comprehend.
Pathology, virology, all turned upon its head.
No antibody test to confirm what they suspect.
That everyone who hears this are the ones it infects!

Dystopia
04:15
|
|||
|
Chorus:
Dystopia, Dystopia,
Forced to live in this dystopia
Dystopia, Dystopia,
Nothing left to give in this dystopia
Verse 1:
In this God forsaken place
We writhe, we groan, we rot, we waste.
Hope for help, but nothing is coming
Corprate machine just keeps on humming
Profit over people is their creed
Unlimited amount of insatiable greed.
Only God can save us now
But his track record is less than stellar.
Verse 2:
Noose around the neck of the working man.
Short-term gains is the long-term plan.
No healthcare unless you're rich
Capitalism sure is a . . .
Glitch in our matrix, leaves us poor
Many get less while a few get more
And more and more and more and more.
When is it time? Time to wake up!
Bridge:
Wearing us down until we die.
Riding our backs, they reach the sky.
Wearing us down until we die.
Bruised and burned by the flames of this lie.
Wearing us down until we die
Riding our backs, they reach the sky.
Wearing us down, until we die.
Dry your eyes, maybe it's time for a battle cry.

Virusinfekt
05:08
|
|||
|
Chorus:
Virus infect!
Virus infect!
Tick, tick, BOOM,
Virus infect!
Verse 1:
Circulating through the air.^
No where for us to run.
This novel contamination.
Renders useless bombs and guns.
Seeping through crack and crevice.
Foils attempts to sanitize.
Forms one world wide infection.
Who dies and who survives?
Verse 2:
Everything is changed and altered.
Locked down and fastened shut.
Zoomed and Skyped up connections.
No pants, DIY haircut.
We're masked and locked for months now.
Cans replace our dinner plates.
Bank account drops into oblivion.
Sick or starving, we fret our fate.
Bridge:
Dropped on us like a missile.
Slowly exploding every day.
Dispersing outwards in a ripple,
The life we once knew wiped away.

Distance
05:48
|
|||
|
Chorus:
I like to keep my distance in every situation.
Never a reason to get closer than this.
I like to keep my distance in every situation.
Don't mean to dismiss, but I find bliss in isolation.
Verse 1:
Don't mind me, I'll just be keeping myself
Away - from everything and everybody.
Nothing personal, I just prefer it this way
Dissociated from the world, sorry that I'm not sorry.
I've always been this way,
It's just the darkness in me.
It's what happens when you try to avoid the pain,
Numb and medicated, isolated and free.
Verse 2:
My heart of stone is like a iceberg,
You'll sink like the Titanic before it melts.
That's why it's safer when you keep a healthy distance,
Better to catch a glimpse, than to be truly felt.
I can send a message in the smoke, like picking popes,
When it's white, you'll know I'm doing alright.
Across a room or two oceans in time,
When you're far it becomes harder to fight.
Outro:
When you're far, I'm like a star
You'll see me shine in the distance.
When you're far, I'm like a star,
I'll burn out and fade in the distance.

Mask
05:22
|
|||
|
Chorus:
I wear this mask for your protection.
Between ourselves, there is no connection.
My true face hidden away from sight.
Blotted out from the daylight.
You wear your mask to keep me clear.
When none can see, there is no fear.
Everyone wears their mask to conceal
What's too delicate to be revealed.
Verse 1:
My mask is on so you stay safe
Underneath left to imagination.
Behind the fabric of my fables,
Diverts the eye of investigation.
The shape of my face, there is no telling
The twisted contours escape the sun.
Behind this guise, I disappear.
My eyes will deceive anyone.
Verse 2:
I've found that as I grapple through life.
I'm never lonely putting my mask on.
You wear yours, and we're all the same.
So satisfying to stay withdrawn.
Some people come and try and rip it off,
They are playing a dangerous game.
You might not want what lies beneath,
Better we never expose our shame.
Bridge:
Keep that fuckin' mask on your fuckin' face!

Bad Lungs
02:32
|
|||
|
Bad lungs, bad lungs,
Life isn't much fun
When you've got bad lungs.
Bad lungs, Bad lungs,
Unable to run
You still lose when you've won.
Bad lungs, bad lungs,
Your cigarette break
Is a fatal mistake.
Bad lungs, bad lungs,
From the house to the car
Seems way too far.
Bad lungs, bad lungs,
Puts you down on your ass
You fall down in the grass
Bad lungs, bad lungs,
You can't scream or shout,
It might just knock you out.
Bad lungs, bad lungs,
You're not in a race,
But you still can't keep pace.
Bad lungs, bad lungs,
You're wondering why
And you're starting to cry.
Bad lungs, bad lungs,
You're saying "hey, wait!"
Going downhill and straight.
Bad lungs, bad lungs,
You're just singing along,
but it's still gone so wrong.
Bad lungs, bad lungs,
When trees sway in the breeze,
You're beginning to wheeze
Bad lungs, bad lungs,
All the sudden you care,
About the quality of air
Bad lungs, Bad lungs,
Life isn't much fun
When you've got bad lungs.

Inoculated
03:27
|
|||
|
Chorus:
Still waiting, growing jaded,
We need inoculated.
So we can take this punch
And not end up terminated.
Aggravated and frustrated,
We need inoculated.
Give us antibodies, somebody,
Before we're infiltrated.
Verse 1:
In this
science fiction, sigh, infection, waiting for a cure.
Will it even matter for the poor and uninsured?
Heathcare costs are rising like a weightless baloon.
Gonna take a rocket, shoot me straight to the moon.
Might be more effective, drop a bomb on these feckless
Hacks that run the system, greedy and wreckless.
The less we let them wreck the better off we will be.
Where's the booster shot to launch them into the sea?
Verse 2:
Takes a virus to inspire us to take a bold stand.
A pound of cure required now, after they fanned.
On prevention, no attention paid, they knew what was impending,
Now we're stuck in hell without much hope of an ending.
Inoculate us or sedate us from their craven stupidity.
Revive us and drive us down the path to lucidity.
Can't we see with eyes, recognize human as human,
And think for a change the effects of what we're doing.
Bridge:
Inoculate us from stupidity
Inoculate us from morbidity
Inoculate us from ourselves
Inoculate us from everyone else!

Not Gonna Die 4 U
05:09
|
|||
|
Chorus:
I'm not gonna die for you,
Your yachts, fancy cars, 401k's, posh spas.
I'm not gonna die for you,
Your avocados, summer condos, ski trips to Colorado.
Verse 1:
Exploitation of the American worker,
We're supposed to risk our lives so you can have
Luxuries, excess, eating gold leaf burgers
While we gag down sodium laced fast food, you
Pricks, make me sick, you can choke on my
General strike, rent freeze, don't say please.
Aristocrats, fat cats, thinking they're big shots,
We're right here now, crashing their economy.
Pre chorus:
You were banking on maintaining our misery.
Perpetual slavery feeds your so-called "liberty".
Verse 2:
You love the dictator when he's lining your pockets
Fascism is bliss when it comes with so many
Benefits to your extravagant way of life
Your way of life that's killing the poor and
Stripping us, ripping up all dignity
Meaningless to you as long as you're "free" to
Take advantage without consequences
Your property protected by barbed wire fences.
Pre chorus 2:
You are a joke and we are the punch line.
But we are cannibals, and it's almost lunchtime!
Bridge:
Desparation is inspiration
Time for blue collar liberation.
Desparation is motivation
Time to end their mass predation.
Desparation is inspiration
21st century reformation
Desparation is motivation
Light the fuse, BOOM, detonation.

Pandemic Panic
04:20
|
|||
|
It's a pandemic panic - it's infectious.
Pandemic panic - pulsate your plexus.
Pandemic panic - nitro biology.
Pandemic panic - psycho pathology.
Verse 1:
Autoimmune disco
Vaccinate in stereo
Quarantine inferno
I can isolate in turbo
Social distancing machine
Got my hydroxycholorquine
Exercize good hygiene
Wash your hands with kerosene
Verse 2:
At testing facilites
Masking my abilities
Inoculate hostilies
With clinical utilites
Diagnose my desire
Sterilize with burning fire
Wipe it clean with alcohol
Better medicate us all!
Medical records spinning in a clockwise direction
Bring me the vial, gonna need an injection
I've got something health insurance never would cover.
Catch the panic like a kiss from your invisible lover.
|

11. |
||||
|
We can't stay silent any longer. It's not fair!
We've shut up for too long.
When the color of skin is such a factor.
And the world's been so wrong.
"To serve and protect" - It's just a racket.
A million egos drunk on power.
And yet another grim report comes in
But the beatings go on and on.
The skinhead bully club's growing larger
And the blue lies spread so thin
The media plays coy, too weak to say it
They are the enemy on our streets.
They beat the black to protect white power.
They bow to corporate masters.
The badge they wear is as fake as fools gold.
And the masses look away.
So-called "heroes" are the actual villains
In our crazy, mixed up, world.
Functioning exactly as the oligarchs designed.
They are the enemy on our streets.
One day they'll be the ones under arrest.
One day we'll escape their tyranny.
One day all of us will be equal and free.
Until then, we struggle on and on and on!
