American Greed Lyrics You've got it all, What more could you take? Bleeding us dry of every penny we make. We work our fingers to the bone, all for your sake We can't feed our families, just give us a break! Still you say its not enough! Nothing we do could satisfy your blood lust Profit is all that you seek in your life When you look at us you see dollar signs Corruption, destruction, and pitiless greed! What you want is not what you need! To slaughter you take us, we are your sheep A feast for the kings Scraps for the weak! It doesn't matter if you're six feet underground There's only one thing that makes the world go round From the peasants living in the dirt To the kings at the top of the world We all chase the dream It is American! We all chase the dream It is American! Sit on your throne while we slip through the cracks We'll just consume and obey your demands We built your homes, we sleep in the cold While You walk on these streets that are paved in gold You poison the water, our sons, and our daughters! Our Fridays are black and our future is darker Your people are restless, but you couldn't care less. All we are to you is a fucking paycheck! The American dream has become a nightmare It doesn't matter if you're six feet underground There's only one thing that makes the world go round From the peasants living in the dirt To the kings at the top of the world We all chase the dream It is American We all chase the dream And It's American greed!

Star Spangled Slander Lyrics My country 'tis of thee Sweet land of liberty Of thee I sing sweet songs of misery Teaching kids fake history So they don't question anything Raise them to be mindless! Just the thought alone is sickening! Glorifying ignorance! We don't know the difference Between being free and being enslaved We no longer stand for this There's a way to fix this shit Always disobey always misbehave! How can you just sit there and watch the world go to an early grave? I'm growing sick and tired Now my heart is filled with rage Sit there and feed us lies! You cowards have never worked a day in your lives! You're fueled by nothing but fear and greed You say you stand with us but you don't stand for anything! When we need you most you disappear without a trace! As long as you get what you want You don't care about saving face (We're bleeding red, wearing white, crying) Blue! We're the tried and true They can never stop us We've got nothing to lose! (We take one step forward And two steps) Back! We won't last much longer On this same old beaten path! How does it feel to be hated and slandered against With no means of defending yourself? How does it feel to know everything is taken from you And shown off as if thievery sells How does it feel to send your children to die in the fights While you believed in a sheep herder's lie? How does it feel to be shackled down and living in chains Wasting away until nothing remains? Wake up! They're distracting you with chaos and fear! We fail to see that There's no shelter here! The blind lead the blind in a world gone mad! Hate leads to hate and we follow that track! They say that we're weak, now we're calling their bluff Raise a fist up Say enough is enough! How does it feel to know you hold the power? It's time to Lead the wicked to their final hour! (We're bleeding red, wearing white, crying) Blue! We're the tried and true They can never stop us We've got nothing to lose! (We take one step forward And two steps) Back! We won't last much longer On this same old beaten path! (x2)

Failure System Lyrics When push comes shove You shove us in the dirt We work to preserve what is yours Well I'm sick of it all We kneel while you stand tall! You're never there to catch us when we fall We're betting on a future we cannot afford So I ask these questions only to be ignored Why are there so many houses that have been foreclosed When there's people in the streets looking for a home Everyone wants to rule the world But nobody wants to save it! We'd rather sit and argue over what created it! Now there is a division between all of us And we fail to realize what is yet to come We're fighting ourselves, a generation of victims While we grow stagnant in this broken system They've got our backs to the wall but we're not giving up We are the dominoes They're setting us up for failure These gallows hang over our heads Like vultures in the sky When will this madness end? When will it die? [x2] Freedom is a right But it comes with a fee Will you live on your feet? Or die on your knees?

[R]evolution 03:45
[R]evolution Lyrics We are the states of urgency! The divided land of hypocrisy! The media grabs our attention! A government with wicked intentions! Every day is a struggle in the USA Wondering if we'll ever see another day Plague the world with your constitution! Peace for the weary is just an illusion! We need to stand for the weak and the hopeless Teach future generations to refuse this! Evolution will bring change [R]evolution will become our name! We need to reform ourselves before we crash and burn When will we learn?! When will we learn? This world is burning down! You need to see that you're just like me The only difference is that I can see! Freedom isn't free, so don't take it from me you thief! Through the fire and the flames They wage this war against our names But this one fact still remains You cannot kill what you did not create! We need to stand for the weak and the hopeless Teach future generations to refuse this! Evolution will bring change [R]evolution will become our name! These days everyone wants to change But all they do is sit around and complain about how nothing is getting better If you want something to change You're going to have to do it yourself No one is going to do it for you If you want something to change You're going to have to stand up Stand up and make the world a better place! We serve, we obey We give, you take

Be The Change Lyrics I see buildings taking the place of trees Big companies spread their disease Don't you think it's a little bit strange All this talk of progress but we see no change They claim you have to be the change you want to see So if I want things to change There has to be a change in me I see more clearly than I ever have before Existence isn't living There has to be more Who ever died and made you king is rolling in their grave I don't owe you anything I won't live as your slave We're going through the motions Something has to give Or maybe we should realize This life is ours to live They take it all for themselves Are you going to let them? And spend your life on a shelf We are not products We can't be bought or sold The cycle ends with you Make a difference in this world The time is now We will not fade to black Raise your voices loud This world is ours to take back They take it all for themselves Are you going to let them? And spend your life on a shelf We are not products We can't be bought or sold The cycle ends with you Make a difference in this world

Medicate U.S. Lyrics Medicate us Because we are sick And destroy our family In ways that we can't fix We are so unhappy In this place that we dwell 'Cause Home sweet home Has become a bitter hell We sit down for dinner But we don't touch our plates And we smile at each other But these smiles are fake! What hurts me the most is knowing I can't be there Deep down it kills me to see you in despair You want to leave this world, but I beg you to stay Brother if you need me I'm just a call away I don't claim to be perfect And I try not to judge But I will put in my two cents When it comes to those I love And if there is a God Testing all of us Tell him that we failed And we crushed the world to dust What hurts me the most is knowing I can't be there Deep down it kills me to see you in despair You want to leave this world, but I beg you to stay Brother if you need me I'm just a call away I can't relax I can't relax I might relapse I might relapse These pills, they help me get passed that But now I'm sitting in a dark room thinking of my past that Shaped me into this thing that I've become I used to want to love and just be loved but now I just feel numb I broke the bonds I loved the drugs I feel so wrong I feel so dumb And it broke my heart to write this song But deep inside I know that it must be done What hurts me the most is knowing I can't be there Deep down it kills me to see you in despair You want to leave this world, but I beg you to stay Brother if you need me I'm just a call away What hurts you the most is knowing you can't be here Deep Down it kills you to see us in despair When I wanted to leave, you begged me to stay Brother when I needed you You were just a call away

Unchecked Ambitions Lyrics Does the end justify the means If it means we are losing everything? Do our goals out weigh compassion? In a world of hollow words We need action But all I see is pain and suffering All in the name Of a false claim of progressing But we can't progress if we don't move Since when did they ever care about you? You're just a number to them A nameless face And they lead you to your death bed At breakneck pace Can't we just set aside our differences and help each other? No, we're too busy killing one another Fuck! This is just ridiculous Everywhere I go, I see no one left to trust Dethrone the king! Drag him through the mud Take him from his home Fill the streets with blood It didn't have to be this way We didn't want to do it But you gave us no choice Now everything is ruined You sit up on high While we toil in the streets And you call it anarchy When we demand peace Our backs are broken from carrying the weight You sit there and tell us to blame it all on fate I don't believe this We won't learn from our mistakes History repeats Images flood my mind of blood soaked sheets No amount of water can cleanse these deeds Eye for an eye And tooth for a tooth Now we are blind And cannot chew Can't we just set aside our differences and help each other? No, we're too busy killing one another Fuck! This is just ridiculous Everywhere I go, I see no one left to trust You'll burn for what you've done
