1. The Trend
Dress the part, plagiarise
But you can’t fake, you can’t disguise
Flash in the pan, make believe
Sold your soul, so damn naive
Stealing from a generation
How do you sleep at night?
Disgrace the institution
Just a parasite
En Vogue, pretend, follow the trend
Try your best, impersonate
Play your part, masquerade
Fool the young, play them well
Counterfeit shit, is what you sell
Stealing from a generation
How do you sleep at night?
Disgrace the institution
Just a parasite
En Vogue, pretend, follow, jump on the trend
En Vogue, pretend, follow, jump on the trend
(Hey man I think they’re having a sale down at Hot Topic, let’s go!)
We bring it back, is what they say
True to the core, so what were you yesterday?
False pretense, coporate lie
Ride your wave, and watch it die
2. Coward
Listen up you bastard, I’m onto your game
This is the last time that I will speak your name
You always put yourself first, and thought of nobody else
She always gave you everything, got nothing for herself
Prey on the weakness, taking all you can get
Prey on the weakness, I will never forget
There is no way that you can hide
I will not be denied
I will deliver pain
When our two worlds collide
Did you think for a second, that I got nothing to say
You better sit your ass down, so I can ruin your day
You’ve cheated for the last time, and now it’s come to a halt
Repent for your transgressions, and admit it’s all your fault
Prey on the weakness, taking all you can get
Prey on the weakness, I will never forget
Coward, blind man, look at me when I’m talking to you
Coward, blind man, can’t you see, your time is through
Listen up you bastard, we’re onto your game
Before the day is over, you will remember my name
She don’t need your bullshit, and we don’t need your lies
She’s better off without you, we see through your disguise
3. Ambush
Mission to hunt the evil down
Creeping in without a sound
Prepare for silent attack
There will be no turning back
Penetrate, isolate, decimate, ambush
Silent supremacy
Stalking picking up the trail
Never retreat and never fail
Got the target move in for the kill
Take him out fire at will
Penetrate, isolate, decimate, ambush
Silent supremacy
Campaign over, battle won
Supremacy second to none
Vanished, gone without a trace
Assassins for the human race
4. Betrayed
Set up, sole intention only to use
When you want out, threaten abuse
The perfect family, but it’s all for show
False accusation, the lowest of the low
Betrayed
Like a rat
Just feed them drink, drugs and anything they want
The perfect mother, it all comes back to haunt
Dad’s just a liar, scheming from the start
Watch your twisted world as it falls apart
Betrayed
Like a rat
Liar!
To make them something, to relieve your guilt
Would you stop at nothing and would you even kill?
Your only dynasty is lies and scum
All you’ve done is taught them, evil they become
5. 25 Seconds
No one to help me, I can’t explain
No one to make a translation
Where do I go, what do I do
So tired and full of frustration
25 seconds to die
(You gave him)
25 seconds to die
Where is my mother, I cannot see
I break this table and chair
Whipped into frenzy, I cannot think
Why doesn’t anyone care
25 seconds to die
(You gave him)
25 seconds to die
No one took the time to evaluate
No physical force, no pepper spray
Four on one with a tazer gun
Fifty thousand volts deliver pain
Convulsing, but shot again
Excessive force has been applied
No pulse, the heart has stopped
No attempt to revive
The fault of police, security
The YVR and immigration
The airline, travel agency
A disgrace to the nation
6. Nowhere To Go
A teenage throwaway
Sleeping on the street
Addiction paradise
You cannot defeat
Each day a nightmare
Surviving, only hope
Gotta get some food to eat
Gotta get the dope
No one to help me
They don’t wanna know
There’s nowhere to run to
Nowhere to go
No protection from the heat
And no protection from the rain
No asylum from the freeze
Just need to kill the pain
Hiding from the bad kind
The abuse and the rape
Given up and almost dead
Taken all you can take
No one to help me
They don’t wanna know
There’s nowhere to run to
Nowhere to go
These are forgotten children, without a choice
Slaves to a broken system, without a voice
It’s time for sanctuary, give them a chance
Finance a place for them to end this dance
7. The Other Side
I thought I had it all, living the dream
The perfect union, or so it seemed
Eternal commitment, sealed with a kiss
But you said you loved me, with an open fist
The anger the rage, locked, trapped in this cage
It happens again and again
The violence and force, denial of course
The time cycle has come for an end
Other side
So fucking tired
So fucking tired you being told what to do
Don’t need your blackmail, and I don’t need you
Blood dripping from the head, hit with the phone
Again the sirens wail, and you call this home?
The anger the rage, locked, trapped in this cage
It happens again and again
The violence and force, denial of course
The time cycle has come for an end
The other side
The other side
Condition critical, you turn and run
Run to another victim, continue what you’ve done
Violence is justified, in your twisted head
Someday someone will end up dead
8. Death In Your Eyes
Power, the meaning of control
Start the war, to purify your soul
To purify
Your sense of purpose, your self control
To nullify your sense of reason
Your destiny to sacrifice, reborn to the skies
Separate the mind
Now it’s time
Time to die
Lead the way, with death in your eyes
Seize the day, they’ll suffer for their lies
Suffer
For their deception, they justify
For sacrificing countless innocents
Divinity within your sights, just do what your told
Separate the mind
Fuck the war, the politics of hate
Murderers all blinded by their fate
Blinded
By grand illusions, by their belief
That death would make them saints and martyrs
Your leaders’ safe, at home in their beds
9. Payback
Convicted, a brutal act of sin
The sentence did not fit the crime
Outrage, screaming bloody murder
Released, done the time
Hey you!
Remember me?
I am the last thing you’ll ever see
Payback, I’ll make you suffer
In their name, I shall avenge
Hunted, just like an animal
The innocent shall have their revenge
Hey you!
Remember me?
I am the last thing you’ll ever see
Payment due
Payment is you
Payment is due
The payment is you!
Cowardly acts of violence, the ultimate betrayal
An eye for an eye, true justice will prevail
Squeal, how does it feel to you
Like a pig, down upon your knees
Scream, as I squeeze your life out
And rid the world of your disease
10. Romeo Delight
[Van Halen cover]
I told her never in hell, no special reason
Must a-lied ’cause I ain’t leavin’
We’re in for a very long night
Heard a vicious rumor from your mama’s tongue
You’re a desperate woman, need a man with a gun
High crime zone in the city of lights
Save it, please
Can’t take it anymore
Oh baby, please
Can’t take it anymore
I’m takin’ whiskey to the party tonight
And I’m lookin’ for somebody to squeeze us
I ain’t lookin’ for somebody to fight
Baby, don’t get uptight
Baby, please
Wanna see my ID?
Try to clip my wings
Don’t have to show you proof of anything
I know the law, friend
At the eleventh hour I’m goin’ back outside, umm
Give it a try, I’m your last loose end
Baby, please
Can’t take it anymore
Oh baby, please
Can’t take it anymore
I’m takin’ whiskey to the party tonight
And I’m lookin’ for somebody to squeeze us
Uh uh uh
I ain’t lookin’ for somebody to fight
Baby, don’t get uptight
Baby, please
Oh
Oh baby
Oh baby
Oh baby
I feel my heart beat
Feel my heart beat
Feel my heart beat
Oh yeah
Feel my heart beat
I feel my heart beat
Feel my heart beat
Feel my heart beat
Feel my heart beat
Baby, please us
I can’t take it anymore
Oh baby, please us
I can’t take it anymore
Baby, please us
I can’t take it anymore
Baby, please us
I can’t take it anymore
I’m takin’ whiskey to the party tonight
And I’m lookin’ for somebody to squeeze us
I ain’t lookin’ for somebody to fight
Baby, don’t get uptight
Baby, please
Yeah, baby please
