WHY DO THEY CRY

 

SELFISHLY CARING FOR ONE ANOTHER

CONCEPTION IS WHATS ON YOUR MIND

YOUR CONSIDERATION FOR ANY OTHER

THE THOUGHT NEVER ENTERS YOUR MIND

AND WHY DO THEY CRY?

PULLING ANOTHER INTO EXISTENCE

YOU'RE WANTING ANOTHER OF YOUR KIND

VICARIOUSLY LIVING THROUGH YOUR CREATION

YOU WANT TO SEE LIFE THROUGH THEIR EYES

AND WHY DO THEY CRY?

DECEPTION, INJUSTICE, A HYPOCRITICAL SYSTEM

HIS EYES CANNOT FATHOM THIS LIFE

AND WHY DO THEY CRY?

 

CLASS WARPED

 

STRAIGHT INTO THEIR POCKET BOOKS IS WHERE YOUR CLASS PRIDE GOES

THEY LIVE IN LUXURY WHILE YOUR SWEAT MAINTAINS THEIR STATUS QUO

BY LIVING THEIR LIE

THEY'LL MAKE YOU WORK TILL YOU DIE

THEIR'S NO SUCH THING AS "HONEST WORK" IT'S ALL A FUCKING LIE

I FIND NO PRIDE IN LINING THEIR POCKETS TILL I DIE

BY LIVING THEIR LIE

THEY'LL MAKE YOU WORK TILL YOU DIE

CLASS WAR SOUNDS GREAT IN THEORY

AND THEORY IS WHERE IT SHOULD STAY

I FIND NO COMRADERIE IN A JOB THAT I WORK FOR PAY

THE ROAD TO HELL IS PAVED WITH INTENTIONS THAT ARE GREAT

BUT THEIR ARE FATES MUCH WORSE THAN HELL A MINDLESS WORKERS STATE

THERE'S NOTHING HEROIC ABOUT WORKING FOR A WAGE

PAID SLAVERY IS ALL IT IS, A GUILDED MONEY CAGE

THEY TRAP YOU WITH A PAYCHECK WITH WHICH THEY BUY YOUR TIME

IN A RATIONAL SOCIETY WORK WOULD BE A CRIME

 

WHEN YOU ACCEPT THEIR LABELS WHEN YOU ACCEPT THEIR LIES

CLASS WAR JUST DECEIVES YOU INTO BUILDING YOUR DEMISE

 

CONSUMED BY YOUR GREED

 

FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE THEY SUFFER AND DIE

TORTURED AND KILLED WITH NO REASON WHY

A BARBARIC PRACTICE WITH NO END IN SIGHT

WHAT MAKES YOU SUPERIOR WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT

ACCEPTED FORM OF BIGOTRY SHOVED DOWN YOUR THROAT

SMEARED ON YOUR FACE OR WORN AS A COAT

ATTITUDES MUCH CHANGE OR WE'RE ALREADY LOST

ANIMAL EXPLOITATION MUST BE STOPPED AT ALL COSTS

CONSUMED BY YOUR GREED

AND THE DEATH THAT YOU FEED

A MATTER OF COMPASSION OR PLAIN COMMON SENSE

ANY RATIONAL PERSON WOULD COME TO THE DEFENSE

OF INNOCENT CREATURES SENTENCED TO DIE

BY AGE OLD TRADITIONS AND VANITIES LIE

CONSUMED BY YOUR IGNORANCE, EGO AND GREED

IGNORING THE DEATH UPON WHICH YOU FEED

ATTITUDES MUST CHANGE OR WE'RE ALREADY LOST

ANIMAL EXPLOITATION MUST BE STOPPED AT ALL COSTS

 

NOT FUCKING FUNNY

 

PATHETIC FUCKING JOKE CHEAPSHOT LITTLE LAUGH

FILLS ME WITH RAGE SEEING RED IN HEATED WRATH

CHILDISH FUCKING HUMOUR TO MAKE YOU FEEL COOL

BUT YOUR HOMOPHOBIC DRIVEL ONLY MAKES YOU LOOK A FOOL

YOUR JOKES AREN'T FUCKING FUNNY

YOUR FUCKING VIEWS ARE SHIT

HOMOPHOBIA IS IGNORANCE NO TOLERANCE FOR IT

YOU PIN IT TO YOUR WALLS YOU WEAR IT IN YOUR HAIR

YOU PAINT IT ON YOUR JACKET BUT DO YOU REALLY CARE

OR IS IT JUST A FASHION A CLEVER LITTLE GAME

AN AFFECTED IDEOLOGY A PUNK ONLY BY NAME

AN ATTITUDE A LIFESTYLE CULTURE OF OUR OWN

FOR THINKING INDIVIDUALS NOT PATHETIC FASHION CLONES

 

CRUTCHES

 

DROWNING OUR SORROWS WITH WINE AND CHEAP BEER

ONLY HIDES FOR NOW THE REALITY OF OUR FEAR

CRUTCHES

A SYRINGE FILLED WITH HEROIN LEADS STRAIGHT TO HELL

LIFE IS A SICKNESS FROM WHICH YOU CANNOT GET WELL

CRUTCHES

FACED WITH EXISTENCE THAT OFFERS NO HOPE

WE FIND OURSELVES TRAPPED AT THE END OF OUR ROPE

THE FUTURE LOOKS BLEAK THE PAST FILLED WITH PAIN

WE LOOK TO FIND WAYS OF NUMBING OUR BRAIN

CRUTCHES

DAYS FILLED WITH BOREDOM THAT HANGS IN THE AIR

WEEKS OF DEPRESSION AND YEARS OF DESPAIR

YOU TURN TO CRUTCHES TO HELP MAKE IT THROUGH

BUT THERE'S ONLY ONE ANSWER THAT LIES WITHIN YOU

 

SEARCHING FOR OBLIVION

 

MOURNING AFTER MORNING THE SCENARIO IS PLAYED OUT

A GLANCE OUTSIDE MY WINDOW IS ENOUGH TO MAKE ME DOUBT

CRAWL BACK TO THE CONFINES OF MY TWENTY-TWO OUNCE TOM

ANOTHER BOTTLE EMPTY ANOTHER DOLLAR SPENT

LEAVING ME TO SIT AND WONDER JUST WHERE THE FUCK IT WENT

RUNNING FROM MY NIGHTMARES ESCAPING MY DESPAIR

PLUNGE MYSELF INTO OBLIVION BUT WHEN I WAKE UP IT'S STILL THERE

MY NEVER ENDING FLIGHT FROM THE HORROR OF MY MIND

THOUGHTFULLNESS THE CURSE OF THE MOST INSIDIOUS KIND

DROWNING IN A FOAMY WASH A HIGH PERCENTAGE SEA

REALITY JUST REMINDS ME OF HOW THINGS WILL NEVER BE

SEARCHING FOR OBLIVION THATS JUST WHAT I FOUND

A NEW SORROW RESURRECTS ITSELF FOR EVERYONE THATS DROWNED

LIVING IN A WORLD THATS FILLED WITH GHOSTS OF FEAR

THE MURDER OF MY MEMORY ALONG WITH EVERYTHING HELD DEAR

 

THE INHUMAN CONDITION

 

THE AGONY OF LIVING IS PARAMOUNT IN MY MIND

AS ALL THAT I SEE IS THE SUFFERING BROUGHT ON BY INHUMAN KIND

LIFE IS BUT A TRAGEDY THAT I'M FORCED TO EXIST IN

WHILE ALL MY EFFORTS ARE PUT FORTH TO RESIST THEM

IN THIS WORLD TO BE TREAD ON IS HOW WE ARE POSITIONED

BY BEING MADE TO LIVE AND SUFFER THROUGH THE INHUMAN CONDITION

 

BEATEN SENSELESS IN THIS SENSELESS LACK OF ORDER

STUPIDITY REIGNS SUPREME IN THIS PANDAEMONIC DISORDER

A CHAOS OF LIFELESS LIVES THRUST IN COLD NON-INTERACTION

A DISENFRANCHISED COLONY OF HOLLOW ANGRY FACTIONS

TO SELL YOUR LIFE FOR A SENSE OF SECURITY

IS IT BE BORN, LIVE, AND DIE IN MINDLESS OBSCURITY

IN GROTESQUE MOCKERY OF WHAT'S PERCEIVED AS TRADITION

THRIVES THE BARBARIC BLOODLUST OF THE INHUMAN CONDITION

 

A TRAGIC CYCLE OF PAIN

LEADS US ALL TOWARDS OUR GRAVES

PLODDING ENDLESSLY TO OUR DESTINIES

THROUGH A LIFE THAT'S LIVED AS SLAVES

 

IN THIS WORLD TO BE TREAD ON IS HOW WE ARE POSITIONED

BY BEING MADE TO LIVE AND SUFFER THROUGH THE INHUMAN CONDITION

 

CAREFULLY AVOIDING ANY FRIENDLY INTERACTION

SPENDING ALL OUR LIVES WITHOUT EMOTIONAL ATTATCHMENT

OUR EMOTIONS AND OUR CONSCIOUSNESS FALL INTO DISARRAY

SILENTLY AND SOLITARILY WE DRUDGE ON DAY TO DAY

 

BACK FROM THE DEAD

 

THEY WERE GONE BUT NOW THEY'RE BACK

THEIR GREED MAKES UP

FOR THE SINCERITY THAT THEY LACK

IF GREEN DAY CAN DO IT SO CAN WE

WE'LL STRIKE IT BIG JUST WAIT AND SEE

 

BACK FROM THE DEAD

TO MAKE A QUICK BUCK

YOU'RE A SUCKER IF YOU THINK

THAT THEY ACTUALLY GIVE A FUCK

 

THEIR BUSINESS SENSE

IS MATCHED BY THEIR AUDACITY

THEIR FUCKING BOLD FACED GALL

TO CASH IN ON OUR SCENE

 

THEY THINK WE'RE FUCKING SHEEP

WHO'LL PAY TO SEE THEIR EVERY MOVE

BUT WE'RE NOT MINDLESS CONSUMERS

AND THAT'S WHAT WE'VE GOT TO PROVE

 

HOW STUPID DO YOU THINK WE ARE

DO YOU REALLY THINK WE'RE BLIND

A NAIVE TARGET MARKET

WITH A CREDIT CARD AND NO MIND

 

 

WHITE TRASH GENOCIDE

 

IGNORANCE

LIKE A PLAGUE INFESTING THE CITY

HATE BREEDS

OVER POPULATE WITH SUBURBAN CONFEDERACY

 

RACIST

HOMOPHOBE

SEXIST

WHITE TRASH GENOCIDE

 

SUPREMACY

FOOLISH DELUSIONS OF GRANDURE

INTOLERANCE

OF ANY ALTERNATE OPINION

 

MISOGYNY

JUSTIFIED BY YOUR UN-INTEGRITY

MISANTHROPY

MY HATRED FED BY YOUR STUPIDITY

 

WALLS

 

LONLINESS AND DESPERATION

FEAR AND SELF DISTRUST

ERECTING WALLS THAT DIVIDE

THE WORLD INTO WHICH WE'RE THRUST

INTO CLASSES, GENDERS, RACES

COUNTRIES AND MINDSETS

SEETHING DYSFUNCTION

 

AND BOILING WITH UNREST

 

AS THE WALLS AROUND US RISE

ON ALL SIDES TO HEM US IN

DO WE HELP TO BUILD THEM STRONGER

OR STRIVE TO WORK AGAINST THEM

 

IT'S EASIER TO BUILD THE WALLS

THAN IT IS TO TEAR THEM DOWN

BUT OUR EFFORTS MUST BE CONCERTED

TO SMASH THEM TO THE GROUND

XENOPHOBIA AND IGNORANCE

ARE OUR MORTAR AND OUR BRICKS

WHILE OUR EGO'S AND OUR AROGANCE

FORM A COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE MIX

 

BIRTH UNTIL DEATH

 

SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST

A CONVENIENT EXCUSE

FOR RIGHTS VIOLATION

AND INHUMAN ABUSE

UNSPEAKABLE TORTURE INFLICTED

FOR FINANCIAL GAIN

IN CAPITALS EQUATION

THEIR PROFITS = YOUR PAIN

FORM BIRTH UNTIL DEATH-

IMMUNE TO THE VIOLENCE

NUMB TO THE HATE

LIVING OUR LIVES IN THE HELL WE CREATE

STREETS FULL OF PEOPLE

WHO COULDN'T CARE LESS

LOST IN THE VOID

OF THEIR OWN THOUGHTLESSNESS

FROM BIRTH UNTIL DEATH-
