(Instrumental)


2. MY OWN

Here’s a thought for your de-sensitised mind :
Separation through extermination
Rip your heart out
Rip your soul out
Rip your face off : I don’t mind

All I need is something I can call my own
Don’t let them here you say it
You need something you can call your own

Trying to obstruct democracy
Minoritys deicide for the majorities
Rip your will out
Rip your thoughts up
Rip your face off : I don’t mind

All i need is something I can call my own
Don’t let them here you say it
You need something you can call your own

They rule from above with consummate skill
Wrapped up in smiles and charm
A small group of men armed with paper and pen
And to think at the start you where alarmed
This ain’t a test of who is the best it’s a fact of Society
That a solitary man with a cross in his hand can speak for The majority

All I need is something I can call my own
Don’t let them here you say it
You need something you can call your own


3. AND ONE FOR OIL

Peace talks broke down again and
All the people they revolted
Why can’t corruption have a break today ?
If you asked sherlock holmes
Who dunnit ?
He wouldn’t know
Why can’t honesty be an instinct ?

I believe in fact not fiction
Fairy tales don’t interest me

Anger’s in my eyes
It’s you that I despise
I’m not angry anymore
And i show no remorse

Hot stabbing pains in my spine
Please hit the stop and rewind
Why can’t you just keep your mouth shut for once in your life ?
Keep saying you’re in control oil is your only goal
Please leave their country alone

I believe in fact not fiction
Fairy tales don’t interest me

Anger’s in my eyes
It’s you that I despise
I’m not angry anymore
And i show no remorse

There comes a time in everyone’s life
When you have to choose the wrong or the right
If you let somebody else make these decisions
You will have no control and will be driven
To a life with no meanings
No sense of going no dreaming
To a life set on destruction
Eyes closed to the corruption

Anger’s in my eyes
It’s you that I despise
I’m not angry anymore
And I show no remorse


4. LIFE, NO PAROLE

The law states that if you should kill another human being
He or she is a murderer and should be sent through the justice system

I don’t have the time to be judged
I will kill who I must

So pathetic don’t correct it, you’re just doing what your told
I would be doing the same as you if I was under control

I don’t have the time to be judged
I will kill who I must

It’s absolutely killing me
I have no dreams
No conscience to keep me clean
I must confess I’m in a mess
Oh what should I do ?
I hear voices screaming

Life with no parole

Let me be free
Why can’t you see ?

Life no parole
Life no parole

The law states that if you should
Kill another human being
He or she is a murderer
And should be sent through the justice system

I don’t have the time to be judged
I will kill who i must

It’s absolutely killing me
I have no dreams
No conscience to keep me clean
I must confess i’m in a mess
Oh what should I do ?
I hear voices screaming

And all the while
I’m in denial
Ever since I was that small child
What should I do ?


5. EVIL SPOTS OF PAPER

A contraband that shows no mercy
Evil spots of paper
Mass hysteria hits my stomach
I didn’t know it was there
Incoherent to the room around me
I can’t even open my mouth
Looks like i’ve opened my mind and let everything out
Acid trips are not to be played with
When you know you’ve got work in the morning
Acid trips are not to be played with
When you know you’ve got work in the morning

Get me out of here !

Trapped in a room full of distortion
Could you turn the gain down. Please ?
My eardrums are going to burst
Sounds fun right now
Incoherent to the room around me
I can’t even open my mouth
Looks like I’ve opened my mind and let everything out

Acid trips are not to be played with
When you know you’ve got work in the morning
Acid trips are not to be played with
When you know you’ve got work in the morning

Here’s a joke it will make you choke
I don’t even tell my mum that i smoke
As for drugs they’re for mugs
I wouldn’t even touch that shit if i could
Why do i deny with every lie i’m not doing well at just being alive ?
Why do i deny with every lie i’m not doing well at just being alive ?

Acid trips are not to be played with
When you know you’ve got work in the morning
Acid trips are not to be played with
When you know you’ve got work in the morning

Get me out of here !


6. A THOUSAND APOLOGIES

A soldier stands on the hill
His orders are shoot to kill
He sees a crowd of children playing on the field below
Preliminary thoughts a sweeping through the bastards head You know
Hang up your opinion and throw it all away
You get told what to do you have nothing to say
I for one am happy leading you all astray

Down under the thumb
Where you belong
I never want to see you again
Down under the thumb
Where you belong
I never want to see you again

What the hell are you doing private
Get the fuck back into line
Failing my mission will be your last crime
Today is a day of victory
Then the war will be won
V hang up your opinion and throw it all away
You get told what to do you have nothing to say
I for one am happy leading you all astray

Down under the thumb
Where you belong
I never want to see you again
Down under the thumb
Where you belong
I never want to see you again

The end don’t justify your means
Its what you do not how it seems
And in appraisal of your life
1000 apologies wont suffice

Down under the thumb
Where you belong
I never want to see you again
Down under the thumb
Where you belongv i never want to see you again


7. INNOCENCE

His innocence is gone go notify his preacher
He’s off to buy some drugs just to have a seizure
His innocence is gone go notify his preacher
His innocence is gone yeah

A sacrifice
Doesn’t give a damn about life
Destroy your brain
There’s no need to worry about pain
Why are you always there
When you’re not around ?

His innocence is gone and i don’t think that he will get It back
The more that he strays the more he becomes a maniac
His innocence is gone go notify his preacher
His innocence is gone yeah

A sacrifice
Doesn’t give a damn about life
Destroy your brain
There’s no need to worry about pain
Why are you always there
When you’re not around ?

I only speak when I’m spoken to
Don’t think i’m singing this song for you
When you think you’re dead and gone
Won’t believe it : your soul lives on...

A sacrifice
Doesn’t give a damn about life
Destroy your brain
There’s no need to worry about pain
Why are you always there
When you’re not around ?


8. MONOCHROME

(Instrumental)


9. WHOSE HERO'S HUMAN

Mother earth sings a song while she lies bleeding
Her symphony :
A theme song for the human feeding
Synthetic faith
That has no real understanding
Close your eyes
She might survive these days

I know what to do and
You know what to say

Lets all go to a place we’re all familiar
Then we can take some time to look around and
Ask yourself is it all really worth it
Lets all help her survive these days

I know what to do and
You know what to say
I know what to do and
You know what to say


10. THICK AS THEIVES

A forest full of facts I see
My country turns its back on me
I understand the enemy
I’ve got mistaken identity
It brings me down for mutiny

East verses west let’s see who’s fucking best
Blair walks around with an ‘s’ on his chest
East verses west let’s see who’s fucking best
Blair walks around with an ‘s’ on his chest

I know there’s something really wrong
How come nobody shows their pride anymore ?

It’s good, it’s great, if you just learn to compensate
It’s good, it’s great, what means you have to dedicate
Just try this time to close your eyes and open your mind

A forest full of friendly fire
A tight grip I start to perspire
I’m hanging on a high wire
I turn on the T.V. and what’s this I see ?
The face of my new enemy

East verses west let’s see who’s fucking best
Bush walks around with an ‘s’ on his chest
East verses west let’s see who’s fucking best
Bush walks around with an ‘s’ on his chest

I know there’s something really wrong
How come nobody shows their pride anymore ?

It’s good, it’s great, if you just learn to compensate
It’s good, it’s great, what means you have to dedicate
Just try this time to close your eyes and open your mind

Silence…is the best thing I’ve heard in a while
Depressed… is the best feeling I’ve felt in a few days and I’m…
Exhausted… can’t carry on without a power source
So empty… like i’ve never felt before
It takes a lot to progress to the next stage
It takes a lot to bite your tongue i’m so enraged
it takes a lot to change your ways to survive
It takes a lot to truly say you’re alive

Casulties of war !


11. OH SHIT

You’re so determined to wipe out the vermin
You’ve missed the dirt clogged deep under your nails !
So cut off all your fingers : the stench that lingers
Is the message in your eyes that you have failed !

Who said that flowers smelt so good ?
I’ve never felt this way but...

Oh shit !
I’m never going to spend another night
Buried in my self pity
And then i'm going to take you with me...
To this town
And then I’m going to show you what its all about
And then I’m going to ride you through this pain
Don’t ever let me do this to you

You’re so confusing, I find that amusing
Practice what you preach you fucking hypocrite!
So pick up all your pieces : your flesh and your faeces
Your putrid mind has sunk into shit !

Who said that flowers smelt so good ?
I’ve never felt this way but...

Oh shit !
I’m never going to spend another night
Buried in my self pity
And then I'm going to take you with me...
This town
And then i’m going to show you what its all about
And then i’m going to ride you through this pain
Don’t ever let me do this to you

I can’t stop bitting the hand that fucking feeds me
I can’t stop bitting the hand that fucking feeds me
I can’t stop bitting the hand that fucking feeds me
I can’t stop bitting the hand that fucking feeds me

Who said that flowers smelt so good ?
I’ve never felt this way but...

Oh shit !
I’m never going to spend another night
Buried in my self pity
And then I'm going to take you with me...
To this town
And then i’m going to show you what its all about
And then i’m going to ride you through this pain
Don’t ever let me do this to you


12. OVERRATED UNDERSTATEMENT

If I put my cannabis in your hand
Would you roll a joint and call me the man ?
Yes I’m
Yes I can
Grow this plant
I am the stoner man
If I put my cannabis in your hand
Would you understand I need to get so high
I don’t know what I’m thinking or what I’m doing

I’m taken back by my ignorance and
I’m taken back by my celibacy
Clown !
Clown !
Clown !
Clown !

If I put my cannabis in your hand
Would you roll a joint and call me the man ?
Yes I’m
Yes I can
Grow this plant
I am the stoner man
If I put my cannabis in your hand
Would you understand I need to get so high
I don’t know what I’m thinking or what I’m doing

I’m taken back by my ignorance and
I’m taken back by my celibacy
Clown !
Clown !
Clown !
Clown !

I’ve got hot rocks in my soul :
This habit i have is out of control
Give me one more chance to quit
I just need one more hit !

I’m taken back by my ignorance and
I’m taken back by my celibacy
Clown !
Clown !
Clown !
Clown !


13. A SELFISH PRESENT

How come you gave your son but you didn’t give yourself
How come you gave your son but you didn’t give yourself
Can I suggest something even more appropriate?
Show yourself in the flesh I want to negotiate

Answer me
You never talk to me
They say you talk through angels
I’ve never seen one
Asphyxiatedv my pupils dilate
I’m sent into this black oblivion

You can’t stop what’s already done
Don’t forget about where you’re from

How come you gave you’re son but you didn’t give yourself
How come you gave you’re son but you didn’t give yourself
All we need to do is find the missing link
Then we can flush your black book down the fucking sink

Answer me
You never talk to me
They say you talk through angels
I’ve never seen one
Asphyxiated
My pupils dilate
I’m sent into this black oblivion

You can’t stop what’s already done
Don’t forget about where you’re from

How come you gave your son but you didn’t give yourself
How come you gave your son but you didn’t give yourself
Can I suggest something even more appropriate ?
Show yourself in the flesh I want to negotiate

Answer me
You never talk to me
They say you talk through angels
I’ve never seen one
Asphyxiated
My pupils dilate
I’m sent into this black oblivion
You can’t stop what’s already done
Don’t forget about where you’re from


14. MY FECULENT FRIEND

All that I want is peace to the world
Don’t destroy our lives
In the end we are made the same way
I’ll take you in my arms

Reset the part of the brain
That generates hates
You drank the blood
You’ve got the taste

Tred so carefully I know where you sleep
Don’t charge in
Can’t we all just have a status of compeer
For us all ?

Reset the part of the brain
That generates hates
You drank the blood
You’ve got the taste

I greet you with these open arms
Your fingers crossed behind your back
I treat you like my enemy

I suspire another toxicant
Then on to my own debridement
I kept you safe from harm
I took you in as my own friend
All that i had was yours to lend
I took you in my arms

Tred so carefully i know where you sleep
Don’t charge in
Can’t we all just have a status of compeer
For us all ?

Reset the part of the brain
That generates hates
You drank the blood
You’ve got the taste


15. MOSHKINSTEIN

For three and a half years
You sculpted a boy you called your son
I never shed a tearwhen they said you where gone
Now I cry everyday but only on the inside
Because my feelings are so very classified

I don’t think you should be looking at me
I know i’ll be the last man standing

So few memories of you when you would take me out
You where my protector from this world I’ve no doubt
Now you’re gone the world is such a scary place
I only have pictures to remind me of your face

I don’t think you should be looking at me
I know i’ll be the last man standing

I don’t think you should be looking at me
I know i’ll be the last man standing
