What you need
Is what they need
It’s not greed
Don’t have to plead
Get it now
You know how
Get it now
You know how
Something big
Is something small
Don’t change your
Mind at all
Get it now
You know how
Get it now
You know how

Erase The Thought
02:04
|
|
||
You look at me, eyes open wide
You won’t admit what you feel inside
You can’t believe that I have no pride
You won’t admit that you lied
And then you wonder why
Why, and who am I?
You can’t believe I try
It makes quite a difference but you don’t know why
So why am I accusing you?
All you do is sit there
I’m not even asking you to care
Just know up from down and this from there
Erase the thought of what is past
Pick a lifestyle that’s sure to last
When you were young, you lived fast
Now you don’t dare, dare to ask

Suburban Haven
01:17
|
|
||
You think your community’s so nice
You eat steak, the poor eat rice
A real nice place to grow your child
Make sure he’s not too wild
Shelter them from the world outside
Local priest makes a perfect guide
Dad can teach Billy how to cheat the poor
Mom can teach Betty how to wash the floor
This is your suburban haven
Not like the real world at all
This is your suburban haven
Watch it crumble, watch it fall
Go to church every Sunday
Give the priest a couple of bucks
He’s building a wall around your mind
I think it really sucks
Then there’s the country club
It’s members rich and white
Of the world around them
They have all lost sight

Of It
01:29
|
|
||
Green grass, pretty flowers
I count my minutes by the hour
Cold coffee, burnt toast
Mommy says “make the most”
Of it
Paint a landscape, paint the sky
Painting nothing is what I’ll try
I see a picture, it’s not like the rest
Teacher says “make the best”
Of it
Listen to the hand that feeds you
You’re in the arms of what breeds you
You’re the only one that needs you – die!

Figure It Out
00:59
|
|
||
When in doubt, go to your mirror
You’ll always find a look that’s dear
Your reflection says a friend is near
The mirror breaks, the sound deafens the ear
Go ahead – find your relief
The drugs you take force a new belief
Oh, I don’t know, what can it be?
How much is this thing and why isn’t it free?
Figure it out!
You wake up all day long
Needle on the record, same old song
Last night I saw you gone
Do you know the difference between doom and dawn?
The other day I saw you on the street
Wear a shirt and tie, run with the creeps
Why did you bother to even be born?
I can see your brain and it’s gushy, wet, and warm

Contradiction
01:14
|
|
||
You stand for this and you stand for that
If you stand for nothing you’re a mindless twat
You see that society is screwing you over
You wanna do something but you can’t leave your mother
You’re against the capital but you’re the bourgeoisie
It’s all a contraction but you’ll never see
It’s a contradiction
If you say you’re a nihilist, you’re for nothing
But if you have sex, you’re for something
If you funk a rock, a tree, or a fan
You’re still fitting into a set plan
Everything affects you and it all affects me
It’s all a contradiction but you still don’t see
It’s a contradiction
So you say you’re an anarchist, “funk the government”
So, go get a job, see what I meant?
You say “no future”, but you’ll be here tomorrow
And you’ll give me back the money you borrowed
You’re catching on, but not quite like me
It’s all a contraction, soon you’ll see that
It’s a contradiction
Go get a job, go to work
Go to the grocery store and get some pork
Nothing is something and it’s all the same
Everyone’s strong and everyone’s lame
Do you understand, do you see?
It’s all a contradiction, except me
It’s a contradiction

Up+Over
01:05
|
|

Take your business – get out of here
Something you don’t wanna hear?
No screen to show what’s right and wrong
With you it would take too long
I wanna do what it says on page 25
Then go out and say you don’t know how to survive
You didn’t take anything and that’s what you took
I’ve seen this before even though I don’t look
Change the game of life around
Start with the smile and end with the frown
All and all I want it to run
But you crushed the thought before it had begun

Too Bad
00:37
|
|
||
What?
I felt I had made things clear
I hate to be misunderstood
Then everything seemed to disappear
Although I did anything I could
Too bad, it’s so sad
But I won’t get mad, even though you had
Where did you get that look?
Stop staring at me
If I have to apologize, I will
But please don’t try to control me

First Step
01:40
|
|
||
I know where to go
To make a solid frame
If I make a mistake
It won’t be the first time I’m out of line
Go step into your sights
Try not to move
Is this alright?
Hold, hold on to your speech
Your so-called change
Is this not right?
Someone, someone outside
Told me that you've lied
What are you supposed to do
They’ll cut you off before you can see who
Go step into your sights
Try not to move
Is this alright?
Hold, hold on to your speech
Your so-called change
Is this not right
Step in to your sights

Put It Off
01:28
|
|
||
Looking here and looking there
If my eyes were shut you wouldn't care
Give me a task and I'll do it later
But I won't bother if it doesn't matter
Occupying time is the easiest thing
Making up my mind which songs to sing
Everything to lose, one week before deadline
Somehow later, I'll fit in the time
Making up my mind is the easiest thing
Leave all of the trouble to me
I won't leave things unattended
But maybe I'll leave things unattended
Other days I have a free mind
Minutes to wander, time to unwind
Nothing ever really affects everything
And who really cares how late I am

Every day I wake up - and it's the same
Another day of doing - doing something for nothing
They tell me to think - think of the future
But I just can't stand - I can't stand to wait
I've got nothing to look forward to
Just getting by is all I can do
My life gets worse but everyday I try
I'm not giving up but I don't know why
There's so much shit - shit that I put up with
With no reason - no reason to keep going
Every day I care less - and less and less
My life's just too much of a drain
My life seems in decline
My life is all uphill
Trying to cope in the rat race life
But I've got no hopes just thrills

Demise
02:30
|
|
||
You've lost your life
Your days have all been fulfilled
What's next, you ask
As if there was an answer
You look around
Don't hear a sound
Your days are marked
Your number's run out
Who doused my flame
Who put out my fire
Admit it's you
Or else you'd be a liar
You look around
Don't hear a sound
Your days are marked
Your number's run out

Friends I've Made
03:05
|
|
||
What am I gonna do when there's no one left
When I look to the future 'cos there's nothing else
What am I gonna do when I'm old and gray
With no one to turn to and nothing important to say
I can't forget the friends I've made
I've got to keep in touch with the friends I've made
If I lose track of the friends I've made
I might as well forget the life I've made
What will I do when tomorrow draws near
With nothing to rely on, when no one hears
If I don't have my friends then I won't have a life
Without any friends, who wants a life

What Happens Next?
01:26
|
|
||
No one's told me why
We must leave behind
What was so great
I've got no complaints
All my friendships
They're all gone
Now they ignore me
A few greetings don't mean shit
I used to want to grow up
It took so fucking long
Now I want to be back
Where I think I belong
With old glories dissolved
My childhood has left me
And I'm left with a fucking job
Wondering what happens next
