Pseudo-Personality

You pick out some friends and to them you'll cling
Then you wait and see who next week will bring
You choose your friends wisely to take you to the top
you climb the social ladder and don't know when to stop

chorus:
Suck 'em in and spit them out
thats what you're all about
The time will come, won't be long
people will notice somethings' going wrong
Shit on people and they soon will see
you have a pseudo-personality

You stumbled into punk and saw your way in
doing anything you could to fit in
You lead people on and they fall in your trap
you get what you need and you leave them flat

chorus

You're outta control and all I've got to say
is what goes around comes around one day
One step at a time you're knocking people down
look at your nose-its turning brown

chorus

It won't be long, just wait and see
people are gonna' notice how fake you can be
Their gonna' realize you're nothing but a fluke
stop what you're doing-you're making people puke

The Wicked Heart

I was young and so naive
wearing my heart on my sleeve
and so I gave it to you
now left in pieces like broken jewels
you just up and left me here
for rot-gut gin and cheap beer
but I'm over crying and into fits
sad to see you go, you piece of shit

chorus:
I have a wicked heart because of you
now hate is all that I can do
I have a wicked heart because of you
now hate is all I'll ever do

endless tears I cried for years
your endless bottoms of empty beers
smiling with your drink in hand
to think I once called you a "real man"
i was always 2nd best, but what could I do?
when you loved a bottle and I loved YOU

chorus

it makes me sick to think I cared
knowing you were never there
and you'll go on, what will you be?
never again a part of me
with empty hearts and open hands
you will hold your tainted stance
remember me when you fall apart
because you gave me this wicked heart

chorus(2x)

Travel In Packs

Here you come looking to fight
making sure to ruin the night
thinking everyones full of fear
when really no one wants you here
coming to shows in a pack
you have to make sure you have back
i look and see how pathetic you are
the way you live, you won't get far

chorus:
You travel in packs cuz' you can't fight alone
You travel in packs-all of eachother's clones
You travel in packs-you have small dicks
You travel in packs-you make me sick

Knock him down, kick him in the face
all of you one steady pace
look at that-you made him bleed
Off of this is how you feed
call your friends to come around
so you can knock him to the ground
you're all ready to attack
just as long as he's held back

chorus

Look and see the people you harrass
then when confronted, you'll kiss ass
you have a different view everytime
and you'll never be a friend of mine
what the fuck are you're politics?
you like keeping them a secret
You say its about American pride
get off the fence and pick a side

chorus

All of you with something to prove
always ready to make a move
but you know if it's one on one
you would be the first to run
I think its funny when you act tough
you'll all leave when it gets rough
how do you think you're cool
when we all know that your a bunch of fools?

chorus(2x)

Transparent Creed

you preach with such conviction
but your life mirrors contradiction
daddy foots the bills
as you live a life of priveleged frills
buying hair dye with mommy's visa card
yet you bitch that life is so hard
with a punker-than-thou attitude
you hide behind a facade to elude

chorus:
You're a simple book to read
with your transparent creed
Your facade recedes
to your front-we do heed.

sent to an ivy league school
only to come out a corporate fool
one day sporting daddy's benz
next day your politi-punk stance condescends
your opinions are ineffectual
you're a phoney pseudo-intellectual
out to prove yourself with verbal affrays
but your prescence here is just a phase

chorus

you make attempts to theorize
with motives contrived to criticize
you'll find ways to falsly justify your guise
to explain to yourself your lies
you'll be gone in two years-an accurate prediction
and elsewhere you'll live out a life of fiction
family money affords your fleeting radical views
but nothing can buy you true virtues

chorus
repeat 1st verse

Pushed To The Limit

He was a young boy in school
all the kids played him a fool
a quiet boy, no friends at all
he tried to fit but still felt small

Fucked up family-nowhere to turn
Kept his feelings inside-soon he'd learn
this boy was always left alone
maybe things would be OK if someone had known

chorus:
Pushed to the limit
with nowhere to go
what did they do to make this boy blow?
Pushed to the limit
what a surprise
this quiet lonely boy-and 5 kids have died

Everyday he was pushed even more
holding it in, his hatred soared
The kids at school, hurting his pride
everyone ignored him-pushed him aside

They called him a loser, knocked him around
all of 'em pushed him to the ground
He tried to defend himself and failed
til one day the thoughts in his mind prevailed

chorus

Next day at school he had a gun
kids continued pushing and making fun
not knowing what he had planned
they didn't notice the gun in his hand

Victims of their own demise
one by one he stared in their eyes
He pulled the gun and shot 'em all
and laughed to himself as he watched em fall

chorus(2x)

What Happened?

One person talks alot of shit and everyone listens
another speaks the truth and no one cares
the scene is nothing but blank stares
no one has a mind of their own

chorus:
What happened to the music?
I can't hear it!
What happened to the unity?
I can't see it!
What's happened to the scene? It's all lies...

The lies are spreading fast like a nasty disease
the kids are gonna' agree just to appease
you're all full of shit and I don't care
You can take your rumours and shove 'em up your ass

chorus

Who are you to judge-you're not a king
Sit on your throne but you'll be alone
Don't let your ego soar cuz' no ones listening
you're gonna' be the one who's left behind

chorus

This whole things gonna' blow up in your face
Everyones gonna' realize you're a disgrace
you think you've got the scene by the collar
But people will realize and stop being followers

chorus

You think you've got the scene under your wing
but things aren't always as they seem
it's slipping from your fingers as I speak
You're gonna' realize your way too weak

chorus

Like Animals

A grey sky falls on blood-soaked land where children used to play
theres no more laughter in the air-its all been blown away
The bodies burn in the sun as you just march on by
so handsome in your unifroms, but you bat not an eye

chorus:
Like animals
gun-toting freaks
cracked-up in cami
minds so weak
possesed like zombies in the night
all you want's to kill and fight

spoken:
"..your politics and policies, have left children without families...but you can't wash the blood from your hands..
and giving you the 'right to kill' and a loaded gun will not make you a man..."

Like life-sized G.I. Joe's you go-programmed to kill
trained to massacre other human beings at will
so well trained, with guns aimed-you rip 'em up with no remorse
you don't hesitate to pull the trigger-it's just a matter of course

chorus
spoken

Your minds poisoned to think it just
to leave children dead in the dust
Oh my soldier hero! Bodies 'round the place...
when it's time to come home how can you look me in the face?
The body count rises, your conscience falls but you don't even care at all

chorus

Negative Reaction

you like to mock us but don't you know
you're just like the rest-you're society's clone
and just like a product on a shelf
you can be bought or you can be sold

chorus:
But your negative reaction
won't bring me down
No matter what you say or do
I'll keep standing my ground

You love to point fingers and yet just the same
whats unique about you when you're a pawn in a game
just like a window-front mannequin
your face has no identifiable name

chorus

I don't agree with how you think-you tell me I'm not right
you judge the book by the cover without a peek inside
You've got an ignorant answer for everything I do
you've got a chip on your shoulder and a bad attitude
