1. CHEMICAL DEPENDENCY

Destruction is my goal
Care for no one at all
Death calls
I've killed before
And you won't be my last
That's for sure
Life of pain and I'm to blame
Broken families
Shattered dreams
All because of me
Can't you see
Blinded by the white
You can't see the light
Not tonight
Life of pain and I'm to blame
And now
I've got you hooked
Take another look
At yourself
Lost your home and pride
You can't win the fight
You're not too bright
Life of pain and I'm to blame
And you put to shame

[Chorus:]
Running scared no where to turn
I've got you now your going to burn
You've watched your life pass you by
The life you lead is one big lie


2. SOCIALIZED HATE

Throughout our troubled history
man's exploited fellow man.
Displaying xenophobic fear that's hard to understand
Centuries ago in Europe things were different than today
Foreigners were treated with respect not disdain
But dreams of power soon crushed this fine ideal
They set across the ocean in search of land to steal
They subjugated natives and stripped them of their rights
Sold them into slavery to demonstrate their might.

Socialized hate
Formed by modern state

[Chorus:]
Can't you see, it's a lie
Don't you know, that they've died
Trapped, by your hate
Stereotyped, convenient
Forced to be subservient
Taught by your state
All you pseudo-christians had yet to have your fun
You called them all subhuman
justifying what you'd done
You sold them into slavery, every last one that you could
I guess that's only natural when you say its in their blood
Soon the racist theory spread to every colony

The crimes that you committed were for everyone to see
Depleted all their hunting grounds and chopped down hallowed woods
Set your plantations on the land
where they once stood

[Chorus:]
Socialized hate
Formed by modern state

[Solo: Rick]

The hatred that you planted is still with us today
No longer simply slavery manifests in different ways
Keeps people in dead end jobs, reduces education
Maintain our racial sterotypes, encourages segregation
You propogate injustice saying they've done it to themselves
You lock them in your ghettos,
Deny them any wealth
The dogma you've created makes sure you never see
That underneath a different color
they're just like you and me
Socialized hate
Formed by modern state


3. MATTER OF ATTITUDE

Always put others down, passing out the blame
Ignorance and your attitude make you all the same
Never try to befriend, never lend a hand
Draw so many barriers, I'll never understand

[Chorus:]
Why won't you listen
Why can'tÿÿÿ you hear
I guess your scene won't let you
Is change what you fear?

You say your scene preaches individuality
The more I see the more I know thats not reality
I walk into your parties, I guess I don't look right
No one even talks to me, no one meets my sight
What makes me so different, so much I can't fit in
Is having different hair and clothes such a mortal sin
Tell me what's wrong with me I'd reeally like to know
I'm trying to be your friend not another foe

[Repeat chorus]

[Solo: Rick]

Always put others down, passing out the blame
Ignorance and your attitude make you all the same
Never try to befriend, never lend a hand
Draw so many barriers, I'll never understand
You say your scene preaches individuality
The more I see the more I know thats not reality
I walk into your parties, I guess I don't look right
No one even talks to me, no one meets my sight
