These are our lyrics, written by mostly Eric but also Dave in some parts. Some of them are cheesy but we sing them anyway. They mean exactly what they say. Enjoy.
I DON'T BELIEVE
Where is the freedom in what you preach?
Why am I always out of their reach?
Why can't I live without restrictions?
Why am I always guilty before I'm convicted?
Why must I be 18 or 21?
Who are you to judge what can and can't be fun?
Why do you act like I don't have a clue?
Why the fuck can you tell me what to do?
I don't believe in this stupid dream (no)
Don't think that I'm fucking naive (no)
I know things aren't what they seem (no)
And I fucking hate the American dream (no)
Who says you own any land?
Why should I shut up if you have a gun in your hand?
Why would you kill to preserve your convenience,
And care nothing for death, showing indifference?
Why would you worship a fucking myth,
And justify control of me by using his death
Why should I want to be in society?
Who gave you authority?
I don't believe in this stupid dream (no)
Don't think that I'm fucking naive (no)
I know things aren't what they seem (no)
And I fucking hate the American dream (no)
I don't believe in god
I don't believe in war
I don't believe in the American dream
NEVER A SOLDIER
I unconditionally lay down my arms
I'll never fight your fucking wars
No cause will change my mind
To fight for the living rich and their unborn
Never a soldier, never
No circumstance justifies murder
Especially not nation or religion
I'm not a tool for a fucking fuhrer
To complete globalization and domination
Never a soldier, never
Your conscription system is fucking sexist
Murderous bullshit out of place
If there's another fucking draft
I'll burn my draft card in front of your face
Never a soldier, never
FUEL THE FIRE
We fuel the fire to a horrible machine
We create death with our consumption in society
We fuel the fire with everything we buy
We forge the apocalypse, are you ready to die?
Fuck you
We die
RESIST
Total resistance to the fucking system
Don't let their lies get you down
Resist, survive, protest, survive
The lies of oligarchial fools
Destroy
Take it back
No system
Start the attack
These lies of prosperity, beauty, and progress
Brought on by only pawns and tools
Fuck their war, fuck their gore
Fuck their government, and fuck their laws
Destroy
Take it back
No system
Start the attack
KILL FOR GLORY
Reduction of human to a statistic
When will humanity learn?
Our race dies, slowly burning
In the fires of work and war
We forge their weapons and make their money
With our sick capitalist machine
Our consumption becomes their sword
And for the final solution all they need
Is thousands of conforming soldiers
Lined up, devoid of identity
Ready to murder as they're told
Kill or be killed, or kill for glory?
Kill
GENOCIDE
Pollution is spewing into the air
We're killing our earth and stripping it bare
Knocking down forests to build condominiums
Extracting from soil and testing uranium
Killing, murdering, slaughtering ecosystems
Under the guise of species superiority equilibrium
We will never create harmony by destroying it all
Your children will die because of these shortfalls
Our earth is doomed
Our race is doomed
Is development progress... or planet-wide genocide?
ENDLESS DEAD
Neverending war, bomb raid death
A human being takes a last breath
The bombs fall, civilians die
All life ends, the widows cry
Neverending war
Endless dead
Ripped apart by falling missiles
Doesn't anybody give a fuck about life?
Awakened in the night by the sound of a whistling
Awakened, now it's time to die
Neverending war
Endless dead
Dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead.
Dead.
