1. NOW I KNOW

Woke up to a perfect day
No hope in sight but the futures bright ahead
Today things will go my way
I got to fight - can rest when i am dead
Got no time for your explinations
Give me the frustrations and strained relations
Can't wait for what waits for me
Got to get out and find whats right for me

Now I know - I can hear the voices in my head they're telling me what to do next
Can't figure it out - I guess we'll see - I know nothing comes for free
No one can say what the future holds and now I know I've lost control
Who knows what waits for me - No hope in sight - The futures bright for me

Too long I've been denied and hypnotized by the lies they've told me
And too long i'v been controlled
I've got to know what it feels like to be free
Of the grasp of their expectations - Their tribulations - No reservations
Can't wait for what waits for me
To get out and find whats right for me.
And still you hear them - You loose control - You can't escape Them listen and you'll know


2. GOD SAVE THE USA

God you must be kidding me, thought this was supposed to be
The home of the brave and the free for you and me
But now there's something wrong - shit's been going on too long.
It's never gonna change, there's no way i say

What's the CIA and the NRA?
They're all the same - just the names are changed
Fuck - there's no excuse - any way you lose
It's all a joke in the god old USA

All we need is more factories pumping filth into the sky
Corporate greed and perverted priests, it's the story of our lives
And apathy's the national disease and there is no end in sight
God save the USA - blame the president and say your prayers tonight

The irony of liberty is no one here is truly free
When elections are stolen bij the G.O.P.
So watch the nightly news - find out how you are getting screwed.
What you gonna do? - there's no use i say
Fuck the industry - the aristocracy
Fuck they're all the same - just the names are changed
Fuck there's no excuse, any way you lose
It's all a joke in the good old USA
Government hypocricy -American Idolatry - Corporate philosophy.
Nightly news of tragedies - Whre no one cares what's right or wrong
Our heroes now are all long gone - The freedoms that we all abuse
The obituaries front page news


3. SOMETHING TO CHANGE

Another boring day just fades away a cycle that's never gonna change
Another casualty of humanity awash in my own stupidty
It's like I don't want to try there's no reason why a cyborg that's waiting around to die
Got nothing left to prove I got no excuse a wasteoid with nothing left to lose

I'm waiting for my own salvation I got to get out - there's no time to waste
Cause I need something to change - Something to break - Some way to get away
Some way to get away from you

A never-ending game - always the same - forever spent waiting for the day
I know there's gotta be some place for me where I can escape this misery
The more and more I try it just seems that I get further from what I want in life
There's nothing I can do I got no excuse a reject who hasn't got a clue

I'm waiting for my own salvation I got to get out - there's not time to waste


4. WAITING

My day is here
Everything in mind is clear
Never going back to a world thats changed
Never going back-never fade away
Well everythings broke
Got to get back to a place I know
Never going back-never fade away
Never going back to a world thats changed
Never fade away

Waiting!
He'll report you to wait
Try to get home
Try to find a way inside
Waiting!
Looking for another way
Try to get home
Try to find a way inside
Waiting!

Well, everythings changed
the life I know is been rearranged
can't wait to make this a memory
remembering what can never be
yesterday's gone
today's the only thing I can count on
the future is the only hope for me
and until then i'll always be-
i'll always be...

Waiting!
He'll report you to wait
Try to get home
Try to find a way inside
Waiting!
Looking for another way
Try to get home
Try to find a way inside
Couldn't make it out this time
Waiting!

I'm always stuck just waiting there
Waiting for some kind of sign or message
Waiting for the moment when i can find to get to take control
Control of myself, Control of my future,
But nothing changes, it's all the same
Everyday i wake up hoping for a new chance,
A new beginning
A something or someone to get me out of here
I was meant to just kill my life
I'll just keep hoping but till then I'll always be...

Waiting!
He'll report you to wait
Try to get home
Try to find a way inside
Waiting!
Looking for another way
Try to get home
Try to find a way inside
Waiting!
He'll report you to wait
Try to get home
Try to find a way inside
Couldn't make it out this time
Waiting!


5. SALVATION

I want your salvation - we need some liberation
And I believe in history yeah
It's time to make a difference and its plain to see
I just want to live my life
Do you know what's wrong or right?
All we get is talk from you
Imagine a life without rules

I want your savlation - I need your creation
I don't want to die an abomination
Why can't you see - I got to be free
I'm never gonna stop being me
I want some indication and we need consideration

We're all the sum of humanity
How long will it take before you hear our pleas?
We just want to live our lives
Is there any hope in sight?
Can't you see our point of view?
How long can you hide from the truth?
What you want you might never get it - till you try -so reach and grab it
Live your life for no real reason - I can't believe all the things I'm seeing
Represent it stands to reason all your life I call it treason
So live your life for no real reason - I can't believe all the things I'm seeing


6. LOOK WHO YOU ARE

Asleep at the wheel
You didn't know till it's too late
'Til now you're blinded by the things you could not see
The land of the free is no safe haven now
Because you don't want to try - you don't want to die
You've got everything in life but the answer's why
You don't really know how it's going to be
So pretend it'll be O.K.

Look who you are - just a member of society
In a tragic comedy - pretending it will be O.K.
Look who you are - just a particle of history
Another faceless casualty - pretending it will be O.K.

A rat in a cage accept the things you can't deny
Do you - recognize the lie you have become - like everyone
You're afraid to face the truth
And now you can't get away - your fortune or fate and the answers that you seek always slip away
You don't really care - you don't have a prayer
Your escape will be your grave

Look who you are - just a member of society
In a tragic comedy - pretending it will be O.K.
Look who you are - just a particle of history
Another faceless casualty - pretending it will be O.K.

So you just give up - year you just give in
You go to sleep and dream at night of the life that might have been
When you've had enough - How much can you take?
Just try to convince yourself everything will be OK
It'll never be OK


7. FALLING DOWN

Falling Down everday - to where I can't be found
Left like some wreckage that's been shot down over sacred ground
Can't find a place for refuge - safe exits slip away
No chance for my redemption - stumbling towards an early grave

Falling everday - farther all the time
Searching for something there - something i can never find
Falling everday - farther all the time
Searching for something there - something i can never find

Without a sound - the silence waits-keeps pulling me back down
I push against it but there is no use I can't stop now
No place I can hold to - how much further can i go
Sliding down into the darkness - waiting for the ftal blow


8. HOLIDAY IN THE SUN

How dose it feel to be one of those with your backs against the wall
The wrong way down a one way street and your headed for a fall
You got no hope and no way to go and there's no one to call a friend
Your only prayer is that someone cares enough to helping hand

There no way your not gonna see it
you better you better believe it
Lets leave this fun
it a holiday in the sun
A life so serene for you not me
Yeah we got it all, no problems my friend
We're oblivious because it us not them

Everyday in the USA its a life of luxury
Are we so blind not to satisfy to your each and every need
And we don't care about the world out there we just go about out our lives
So self absorbed we can just ignore the hate outside out eyes

There no way your not gonna see it
you better you better believe it
Lets leave this fun
it a holiday in the sun
A life so serene for you not me
Yeah we got it all, no problems my friend
We're oblivious because it us not them

Isn't it nice when you have everything you need
Just before you close your eyes
it'd nice for you and me nice for you and me
Lets leave this fun
it a holiday in the sun
A life so serene for you not me
Yeah we got it all, no problems my friend
We're oblivious because it us not them


9. THIS IS ONLY A TEST

This is only a test of the emergency broadcast system
This is a product of hysterical mass confusion
A ship of fools adrift on the sea of our pollution
Rudderless and powerless on the sea of our delusion
And we're all alone hoping one day someone will save us from ourselves

Secretly knowing that as far as we can tell
The world has a hungry parasite thats called the human race
And we're powerless to stop it we're resigned to our own fate
And no one cares-and no one cares
This is only a test of the emergency broadcasr system
This is a result of our own reckless ambition
The castles we have built have all become our prisons
Trapped by our arrogance and the weight of our indifference


10. PUNCH DRUNK

Punch-drunk intoxication
There are jackals in power who feed on frustration
Sheer will you move it or lose it
There's power in numbers when are we gonna use it
Collateral damage with innocents' dying
The leaders are suspect man you don't know who's lyin'

Don't know what caused it - it's so hard to swallow
They tell us what to think and they laugh as we follow
We all bleed - We all die
You don't believe it though it happens right before your eyes
It won't stop - Just give in
It's a new genocide - what a terrible sin

Function - diminishing value
They're draining the banks now but no one will tell you
Cut rates and tax breaks for bosses
They're cashing their stocks in - you're cutting your losses
Conspiracy theory - you think what you want to
If you don't believe it then they already got you
With human lives yeah their playing games now
They may tell you different but the outcomes the same now


11. RISE UP

Well it's up to you what you really want to do - take time - to find a way
Focus on your vision you're on a secret mission ignore what the masses say

Well it's up to me what I really want to be and I'm still searching for the day
We got to fight we got to feel we got to know that this is real
If we're going to win this race
We gotta rise up open our eyes up
Take this vision and stop another casualty
You want it all for free then you'll get nothing
That's the way its gotta be
Well your point of view it belongs to you - no one - can take it away
Dare to envision hold on to your decision take control of each passing day
Well it's plain to see all the loss and tragedy you can watch the worlds slow decay
Or we can change our destiny our visions never gonna change

Well it's up to you what you really want to do - take time - to find a way
Focus on your vision you're on a secret mission ignore what the masses say

Life's not free yeah who you gonna be yeah another victim of society
But you don't listen - you're on a mission - searching for another way
We gotta rise up open our eyes up
Take this vision and stop another casualty
You want it all for free then you get nothing
That's the way its gotta be


12. YESTERDAYS

Up from the ashes and over the hill
We knew more than we ever will
Back when the days passed by so slow
And now we'll never know
That sense that tomorrow was far away
And our dreams they never fade
We never thought the good times could end
Can we go back to those days - When everything was simple then?
And nothing could ever change

Can we go back to those days - We didn't have a care at all
I wish I could remain - Back in yesterdays

Pictures of another place and time
They seem like scenes from a diffrent life
We didn't notice as the days went past
We knew it couldn't last
But looking back I wouldn't change a thing
The memories shared they'll always stay with me
We never thought the good times would end


13. CHANGE MY MIND

Every time I talk - you just say I'm wrong
I can't take it anymore a thousand lies a billion strong
You have to be right - you agrgue all the time
Make your point and then shut up you're never gonna change my mind

No - aint gonna change my mind - you bug me everyday
Just let me see it my way - aint gonna change my mind

I want you to stop you're closing in on me
Just get off my fucking back - arn't you ever gunu see
Wasting all your time - with all the things you say
Get this through your head - everything can't be your way
You try to deny all the things that you cann't hide


14. JUDGEMENT DAY

Who ever knew there's be days like these when the world could knock us to our knees?
We didn't fear the future or regret the past
We knew our days we're numbered and it couldn't last
The world's gone madit's so hard to believe it's like a bad dream version of reality
And now we don't know which way to go
and the pressure is building and it's ready to blow
I never knew there would be days like these

Hooray - It's judgement day - We had it good till now
there's hell to pay
A moments time-we're all gonna blow it away

Poor me - It's my own tragedy I was born in a time of lunacy
It was all fun-but now we're gonna pay
Whoever thought there would come a day when the world
as we know it could be stolen away-we didn't see it coming 'til it
Was too late and now it seems like the news is getting worse everyday
Watch it go down it doesn't matter to you but when it comes to an end
Well then you will know the truth
