1. SOUND THE ALARM

Listen! Oh you've heard it before
As they tighten the noose we still ignore
The truth, the proof as freedom dies
Or are we just being paranoid

Think we're safe
Safe from harm
Stand up now
Sound the alarm

Won't see the truth or open your eyes
Spent your whole life caught in their lies
Keep your nose clean, live by their laws
What will you do when they kick in your door
Who will save you

Comfort is what we crave
The truth is disturbing vile and brave
Chastise the ones who bring it to light
With your head in the sand you wait to die

Think we're safe
Safe from harm
Stand up now
Sound the alarm

Won't see the truth or open your eyes
Spent your whole life caught in their lies
Keep your nose clean, live by their laws
What will you do when they kick in your door
Who will save you who will save you now

Wake up, we're all fighting to get by
Wake up, locked in place and kept blind
Wake up, break the hold break the norm
Wake up, stand and fight sound the alarm

Who will save you now?


2. 2061

We'll be waiting sixty years for the truth
Sixty years for the proof
Who of us will be around in
Twenty sixty one

Trust is what we do without
A nation's honor put in doubt
It won't likely be absolved in
Twenty sixty one

Names will not be named
Judgements won't be made
We can be assured
Justice won't be served

No one wants to believe that they're
Easily dispatched
No one wants to admit
They saw society collapse
Revolutions of evil will
Worked to great effect
Devious new mind control
Turned the whole world on its head

We'll be waiting sixty years for the truth
Sixty years for the proof
Who of us will be around in
Twenty sixty one

But they'll keep it from the light
Never to declassify
Keep the feast of blood alive past
Twenty sixty one

Names will not be named
Judgements won't be made
We can be assured
Justice will never be served


3. ROAD LESS TRAVELED

It started on a sunday five dollar matinee
That put us on our way, the road less traveled
All the friends we have made
And the families we have raised
All thanks and credit due, the road less traveled

We did not choose this, passion drove us to it,
Hardcore is our life now
Born to walk on the road less traveled

Blood sweat and not tears,
Feast and famine thru the years
Working hard keeps us here
On the road less traveled
Good or bad the choice is ours,
No one to put blame upon
Take the gamble right or wrong,
On the road less traveled down

Like those before us, breaking from the norm
Never fitting in, so we strike out on our own
Fight against the tide, go against the grain
Living every moment,
Feeling all the joy and all the pain

Live your life, live your life, live your life
Make the choice to stand apart, live your life
Push on thru and make a mark, live your life
The only thing to fear is time, live your life
Make the choice not just to live but truly be alive!

We did not choose this, passion drove us to it,
Hardcore is our life now
Born to walk on the road less traveled

Were we right we will see
But you know our philosophy
"be a doctor, phds, all that shit is not for me"


4. GET BRONX

We gotta stand up and fight
All this oppression
It's time to organize,
And get bronx
We've lost sight of our needs
Misplaced aggression
You gotta wake it up,
And get bronx

Get ready and hold steady
Lock it down cause here it comes
We'll get ready and hold steady
The day of freedom has come undone

Poisoned by greed
And power
Don't bend
To power
Set yourself free

We gotta stand up and fight,
All this oppression
It's time to organize,
And get bronx
Divide and conquer a means,
To hold their power
Freedom through unity,
We'll get bronx now

We gotta stand up

Stand up / get bronx / stand up / get bronx

Who's gonna stand with me - stand up
Who's gonna risk it all - get bronx
Bleed for freedoms sake - stand up
Get bronx
We're responsible - stand up
We preserve the flame - get bronx
Fight for freedoms sake - stand up
Get bronx
We gotta stand up,
Stand up now
Get bronx


5. PART OF HISTORY

The greatest scam of all
Official tricks
Can't change what we saw

Rats are in control
With no moral code
Now they have shown
They would gladly

Eat their own

So much was laid
To waste
We fell in line to trade
Eye for an eye

Rats are in control
With no moral code
Now they have shown
They would gladly

Eat their own

Devoid of wreckage that you'd expect
A bogus premise made plausible to everyone

I've got to hand it to the fucking rats
Everyone's been suckered
Everyone's been sold
And now it's part of history

Dark agendas are imposed
Shameful truths not exposed
Now it's part of history,
It's a taboo
Now it's a nation's burden


6. LOSING WAR

Tough times will erode our conditioned, frail souls
Tough times will erode our conditioned, frail souls

This erosion will always be
An unwelcome reality
What's ahead is cut and dry
Looming like a blackened sky

How do you fight a losing war
The single encouragement is damage control
How do you fight a losing war
Improvise in trying times
Bending the rules

Tough times will erode our conditioned, frail souls
Tough times will erode our conditioned, frail souls

Wear erosion like a badge
Tune out the lousy effect it's had
An ironic victory
Consolation's bittersweet

How do you fight a losing war
The single encouragement is damage control
How do you fight a losing war
Improvise in trying times
Bending the rules as you go

What's been keeping us going this far,
These times

These moments,
The good life,
Remembrance, in tough times

What's been keeping us 'round this long,
These times

These moments,
The good life
Remembrance, in tough times


7. NEVER BACK DOWN

You, you came to fight.
You thought that we'd stay down but
We'll never back down
We, we got you in our sites, so keep moving move
Along cause we will never back down

You gotta, gotta get up
Get up stand up
Stand up fight fight fight
We gotta, gotta stick together
And keep freedom in our sites
We gotta, gotta get up
Stand up get up
Stand up, stand up for our rights

Hey wake up,
The time is now to let them know we'll

Never back down

We pledge allegiance to the fight,
Down to the very last one we will
Never back down
You gotta, gotta get up get up stand up
Stand up fight fight fight
We gotta, gotta stick together
And keep freedom in our sites
We gotta, gotta get up stand up get up
Stand up, stand up for our rights

We, we came to fight,
Down to the very last one
If that's what it takes to keep our rights

Never back down


8. FACING THE ABYSS

Our mistake is to put faith into those who lead astray
The voice of the common man is not the voice of reason

I'm dismayed by the disdain
Simple minds can show
Glory goes against the grain
Glory overthrows

Despairing masses, all fear the same thing
Few can raise, strength from within
Facing the vacuum, facing the abyss
Few can face, losing belief like this

Talking heads and shady news
Will only serve to confuse
Talk of free society
Is also talk of treason

I'm betrayed by the disdain and it makes me wonder
If the glory's not engrained
When will we go under

Keep that direction
Stay on the course
No motivation offered
And no rewards
Stay self-reliant if ostracized
Exchange that mass approval for inner light

Despairing masses, all fear the same thing
Few can raise, strength from within
Facing the vacuum, facing the abyss
Few can face,
Losing belief like this

Losing belief

Losing belief


9. ACT YOUR RAGE

I see it there in your eyes,
There behind all the worry
Dreaming of glory days
Left far behind
Force it down,
Locked it away
Or maybe
You got bored with it
Or maybe
You never had it in you from the start

Act your rage

Now you come round
Looking down at what all we're doing
Speaking of golden years
Of days gone by
Look at you all
"82" vintage hoodie,
Vintage sneakers,
An overpriced t-shirt
Of a straight edge band that sucked

Act your rage

We all have commitments of our own
But we still feel this deep in our souls
You have to find a balance
To keep your self sane
Don't just be nostalgic come act your rage
Don't be the one stuck in the past
The golden moments now
So pull your head out your ass

So act your fucking rage


10. DISCONNECT YOUR FLESH

Disconnect, disconnect your flesh

See you around, when you're done zoning out
Busy with the bullshit,
When life is interrupted
See you around, your head is in the clouds
Into the oblivion, and life is disconnected

Collective breakaway
Collective breakout
Fake wants, fake needs,
A fake obsession

The need to be involved,
The validation
A claim for fame,
From victims of the modern age

Disconnect, disconnect your flesh

See you around, when you're done zoning out
Busy with the bullshit, when life is interrupted
See you around, your head is in the clouds
Into the oblivion, and life is disconnected

Adventure put on hold, just going nowhere
Timing is in, another measure

The years will not return, for any replay
You say: "ok, just keep that fleshiness away"

Disconnect, severed, disconnect

Disconnect from the boring material realm
It's an escape, a retreat, pulling back in a shell
Disconnect from your presence, your body and soul
It's an escape,
An escape from what's weighing you down
Time to disconnect your flesh


11. BELTWAY GETAWAY

Front pages complicate - beltway
Backdoor dividends - getaway
First world briberies - beltway
Whitewashed felonies - getaway

Unaccountable - scot free
Your trouble is just our legacy
Unrepentant - scot free
A new world order is now unleashed

Where's the new foe
Where's the fall guy now

Who did we have to waste - beltway
Who didn't know their place - getaway
Who did we assassinate - beltway
Boy those really were the days - getaway

Not indicted - care free
We snubbed the world with our misdeeds
Not tormented - care free
Fulfilled, we laugh about the tears

Where's the new foe
Where's the fall guy now

You're high and dry
When our term is up
Up shit creek
And shit out of luck

Front pages complicate - beltway
Backdoor dividends - getaway
Almost felt a little guilt - beltway
'Till i thought of all my wealth - getaway


12. SIDELINED

When i was distracted
And tricked to look away
Cowering from menace
I would capitulate

One by one,
My freedoms slipped away
One by one,
My senses dulled

I was sidelined, sidelined
Easy to be cast aside, incorrect to accept
This captive position
I was sidelined, sidelined
Easy to be cast aside, incorrect to accept
The thin veil of national pride

When i let my guard down
I heard the demagogues
Cunning with their language
I joined up with the mob

One by one, i fell for clever threats
One by one, i danced with demons

I was sidelined, sidelined
Easy to be cast aside, incorrect to accept
This captive position
I was sidelined, sidelined
Easy to be cast aside, incorrect to accept
The thin veil of national pride,
But now i'm opening my eyes

Truth and guidance, made clear by outright lies
Truth and guidance, two things we've been denied

Trying to fight out of this paper bag
Trying to find my way and take this country back
Trying to fight out of this paper bag
Trying to figure out how to throw around these
Undervalued hands


13. OUTGUNNED

Dig in deep here it comes,
We're in this for the long run,
Brace yourselves now and hold on tight
A target painted on our backs,
'Cause we choose our own path
Let it shine to separate us from everyone

Odds stacked against us
We never run
Always outnumbered
Never outgunned

Faced with challenge,
Face with strife,
Will we fall or stand up high
Do we crumble underneath or rise above
Always on the outside,
Castaway, written off
Forever the underdog so bring it on

Odds stacked against us
We never run
Always outnumbered
Never outgunned

The world will test us, again and again
Surmounting pressure
Never give in, never give in
You get knocked down,
Get right back up
Always out numbered
Never outgunned

Dig in deep here it comes
The last stand, the defiant ones
Now's the time to rise and live or die like dogs
The odds are stacked against us
We never run, we never hide
Always out numbered
Never outgunned


14. DNC

This serves as our protection
Long live the constitution

Dnc / dnc / dnc / dnc
I'll always be a threat
To an unjust government
We should always be a threat
To the highest power
Liberty or death

I, i live life a simple man
Try existing in peace but
You're, you're always gunning for me
Now can't you see that i
I don't buy into your game
Unwilling to play
I'll stand, stand against all of the lies
Yeah, i'll defy
Liberty or death

Dnc / dnc / dnc / dnc
I'll always be a threat
To an unjust government
We should always be a threat
To the highest power

Forced under the gun
Nowhere to run
Seeing how laws always clash with the truth
We are born free
Yearning for peace
Not as defenseless subjects
Forced under the gun
Nowhere to run
Seeing how laws always clash with the truth
We are born free
Yearning for peace
Which isn't where we're headed
It's all about total control
Long live the constitution
