Hes got a song about a love thats gone away
Sometimes his eyes shed tiny teardrops when he
plays
His touching ballads are just there sitting to
buy
They call it music but it seems more like a lie
Artif
They call it a scene I call it disaster
Down here the kids grow up faster
Scared they're scared to the bone
Like a pack of wolves they don't run alone
One on one they won't look you in the eye
But whe
Concrete and chaos rise up
Spiderweb across the land
Like a giant rash
Forests lie down below
Foundations of buildings in a bed of ash
Some people here got it real good
Cuz the glass towers bring pro

Off east 14th its raining
Six a.m. on sunday and the bums are praying
Met her at a party we were drunk now were sober
She said its cold got a long walk home come over

Caution is a word that i cant understand
C-a-u-t-i-o-n was a word i could not understand
Walked the dog with a real short leash
Turned around saw the dog walk me
Stainless steel and painted glass give
Empty factories to the east and all our waste
The shape of things that came shows on the broken
workers face
To the west you'll find our silicon promised
lands where
Machines replace our minds for syste
Well i saw this kid get beaten down because he was
out of luck
In the lottery of acceptance in the school of
growing up
Saw a bunch of convicts doing time inside a cage
Got locked in factories w/in the
Expensive vitamin pills and
Wheat germ on your windowswill
Your schedule's hectic and you got no time to kill
You're earning money and spending it the right way
You're just in such a rush
You don't kn
It's not the ending
Its the beginning
The ground is moist and it rained last night
Smells like smoke and it smells so clean
The sun is shining down like a freindly white
light
Here we go again

I'm in this prison built for you
In this situation I don't know what to do
Can't make a connection get a reaction
There's this wall and I can't get through
You're dying some guilt with no words
What d
When you're dying - giving a hope
Living for smoking dope
Singing that same old song
Yeah yeah yeah it's always the same
I got no - nothing in mind
I was trying a new adventure
Buying that old peer p
Something breaks inside of you
With the spectacle of all the shows
With fifteen fights and your six bucks
has gone up some promoters nose
Jaded eyes see clearly but only half of whats
there

I know that things are getting tougher
When you cant get top off from the bottom of the
barrel
Wide open road of my future now...
Its looking fucking narrow
All I know is that I dont know nothing
We g
I start it, I end it
I kill and words will defend it
Got big plans
Blood stained hands
Wanna see my name on the map
On my way to save the world
Got a brand new set of words the going rate is

Do you have to force yourself with power and
control
Do feel a need to live your life playing up a role
Intimidating people with your wall of sight and
sound
You and your kind destroy our underground

The position being taken is not to be mistaken
For attempted education or righteous accusation
Only a description just an observation of the
pitiful
Condition of our degeneration
Walls made of opinions
One day I saw a man asleep
In a doorway on the street
Thru walls of sheltered
Inhibition I perceived his
Condition dying of hunger
And exposure, food and shelter
Two blocks over within
This place we

Sound system gonna bring me back up
One thing that I can depend on
Try to describe to the limit of my ability:
Its there for a second
Then it's given up what it used to be

Stand by your freinds, wrong or right
Can't call that justice when its just a stupid
excuse to fight
Single out and attack the ones who got no defense
You call that a new way of thinking i call it
regre
Wrenched into the world, deanaesthetized
Blurry images fight their way through halfway
opened eyes
Awakened by alarm fifteen minutes of hygeine
Twenty minutes of eating thirty seconds to the
door
I loo
Theres a war going down between my brothers
tonight
I dont want no war going down tonight
Civilization ha I call it as I see it
I call it bullshit you know I still cannot

I saw this guy go down
Wasn't time for fear
Before his body hit the ground
(Chorus)
Our vulnerability is all our insensitivity
Car that hit him pulled to a stop
Driver hid the bottles
He anticipated
Never had a reason for the attack
It's impulsive and insane
When I wanna talk sense to you
It's like spitting back at rain
I've come to know that when i first saw you
I should have ran away
I've kick
