Syphilization 02:03
lyrics
The reason of existence Tell me what are we supposed to do? Evolution shows the progress that we never made These facts aren’t true The human race is growing But the ignorance is growing too Afraid of falling back in disorder We know we’re fucked, we know we’re screwed The human race caused a disease They brainwashed us and still we’re pleased by flu Western civilization All created by our nation Government flu We are civilized 'Cause we wear fur collars around our neck We're crewing up the eco system Corporations got our backs We don’t know what’s going on The children don’t know who to trust But thank God there is civilization Hands together for our nation I don’t think there’s a place for us to go We are part of a sect and we don’t know it The human race caused a disease They brainwashed us and still we’re pleased by flu Western civilization All created by our nation Government flu

Mercy 03:14
lyrics
Kids on the playground, bulletproof vest Tightly secured around their chest Innocent kids don’t know why they’re still free with all that hate Wouldn’t it be great? Playing with your mate Without those guns pointing at you I don’t know why I don’t know why All of this shit could get so far Freedom of speech How can we reach What isn’t there Please have mercy mercy, mercy A lack of mercy in this world (2x) Masked intruders, forcing their faith Killing all the people never felt so great Do they even know it’s someones dad or son they’ve killed They must be thrilled Another life drilled I bet your God will hate you too I don’t know why I don’t know why All off this shit could get so far They’re only faith Is getting laid By made up girls Please have mercy Mercy, mercy A lack of mercy in this world (2x) I don’t know why I don’t know why All of this shit could get so far Freedom of speech How can we reach? If we can never ever ever disagree We’ll never fight We never will Conform ourselves with all this hate Our only hope, our only hope Is to defend ourselves with mercy Mercy, mercy A lack of mercy in this world

My Fur Coat 04:06
lyrics
Look around, this is all insane. We’re all so trendy, we’re all so vain. The blood is dripping down your neck. Without even knowing someone waved the white flag. I don’t care that you are who you are. But please think again; Is it worth the blood when you buy your identity? We are the ones who kill just for fun. We skin them alive and throw back their bloody bodies. Go ahead, buy yourself that coat. Put in on and conform yourself with death. I don’t care that you are who you are. But please think again, Is it worth the blood when you buy your identity? (2x) Look around, this is all insane. We’re all so trendy, we’re all so vain. The blood is dripping down your neck, Without even knowing someone waved the white flag. Look at me, I’m all overdressed tonight. This coat, the fur, it fits totally right. The blood looks good with my high heels, I don’t even wonder how it feels, To be stuck in a cage, so small. Why won't they care about them at all? So think again, is it worth the blood? When you buy your identity, while they’re all caught. It’s my fur coat, It looks so good on me tonight. It’s my fur coat.

The Night Stalker 02:44
lyrics
Dressed in black On the side of the road Dressed in black On the side of the road Better hide your girlfriend Cause the night stalker’s at work Cuts off your arm Pokes out your eye Cuts off your arm Pokes out your eye Better hide your girlfriend Cause the night stalker’s a jerk Execute the killers, make them pay for what they’ve done But don’t mind politicians, they are killing just for fun That’s how it is That’s how the world will make it’s lies When you kill that murderer you better think about your mistakes Think twice Cause the night stalker, he will poke out both of your eyes Think twice

Toy Gun 02:44
lyrics
Five year old kids Let’s put a toy gun in their hands Where is the fun In the death of all your friends Fighting for peace Meanwhile our kids can carry guns Let them play dead Instead of spending time just once Back then they had hide and seek They played without imagining someones death And now you wonder why your son took the wrong path Do you really think you raised your kids allright? When you give them guns, you teach them how to fight Five year old kids Let’s put a toy gun to their heads Where is the fun In killing all your friends Fighting the war Meanwhile our kids can carry guns Have you ever thought About spending time just once? Back then they had hide and seek They played without imagining someones death And now you wonder why your son took the wrong path Do you really think you raised your kids allright? When you give them guns, you teach them how to fight Open your eyes Open your eyes Drowning in lies Open your eyes Put a toy gun to my head Pull the trigger and pretend I’m dead Another kid got drowned by thoughts And right and wrong just lost it’s meaning Put a toy gun to my head Pull the trigger and pretend I’m dead Kids and guns guarantee peace

The Forgotten Kids 02:47
lyrics
What’s the matter? [Nothing] Why’re you sad? [I’m not] We’re sick of the questions that were already answered by us And why all this rush? It’s fiction so keep us away from your digital world Get the fuck up Can’t you see what you’ve done? They all suffer from depression And the blood's on your hands I cannot live Cannot live With all these kids still falling down No true emotion in their eyes No recognition in their sight Secluded from the world And never find yourself a girl It’s a sick society, so stop asking questions to us And why all this rush? It’s fiction so keep us away from your digital world Over one million people die by their own hand every year Depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide Of course we could help them It must be a part of our human instincts But if we only stopped living in this tunnel vision And started looking at each other Maybe then they wouldn't feel so forgotten Maybe then they wouldn't feel so lonely The forgotten kids I cannot live Cannot live With all these kids still falling down No true emotion in their eyes No recognition in their sight Cannot live Cannot live With all these kids still falling down No true emotion in their eyes No recognition in their sight

American Pride 01:40
lyrics
Be my guest in the golden state Be my guest in the golden state Do you want to be around? Or would you rather be dead than found there? The golden state It’s not that great Where did all the fun things go? Up north or down below When you walk on Venice Beach Happiness, I cannot reach it The golden state It’s not that great Waving the American flag Even though nobody likes you Waving the American flag Proud of the American flag Proud of the American flag Proud of the American flag

Divided by Zero 02:44
lyrics
I’ve never felt so I’ve never felt so sane around the decent people Don’t let them touch me Don’t let them touch my brain Divide my life by zero Anything for independence But money keeps us caged in life Being a part of all the decent people Brainwashed by our education We’re growing up, we live to die We crave to divide our lives by zero Life is worth more than we think But if a million people walk in line What’s the point of living when you work to pay and live to die? Telling ourselves that we’re free Ignorance is bliss they say But does that count when you’re aware of living life the slaving way I hate people, I hate kids I hate everyone who’s rich Talking shit behind my back Break their skulls, crush their necks I hate violence, I hate peace I hate rocks between my teeth I hate my generation No (7x) Get outta my head Don't wanna walk in line Don't wanna spend my time Just being dumb Don't wanna walk in line Don't wanna spend my time Just being drunk Don't wanna walk in line Don't wanna spend my time Just being lame Don't wanna walk in line It's the insanity of being sane

Tropical Suicide 05:08
lyrics
Jamaica Jamaica I’ve been out there So calm and warm Jamaica Tropical sun Jamaica You’re the only one I smoked my pot Laid in the sand A cold lemon beer Such a good friend I’ve got the job I’ve got the cash Got my private beach And a Mercedes Benz The girls, they love me They love my life Every single one They want to be my wife I’m living the dream Like a king Yes, life is good It’s just partying Yes and I’m good too It’s just paradise I'm driven by luck And my soul will rise My sun glasses on Under the palm trees The wind in my hair The girls on their knees So that was my life As you can see, it’s rad To end it in style It has to be blood red So I bought a gun Completely sane. Pointed at my head And blew out my brain So now I’m dead By my own hand The dark red blood In the Jamaican sand And I’ll never regret What I have done Cause Jamaica You're my only one Jamaica, Jamaica Are you doing alright? Cause I think I’m fine Jamaica Tropical sun Jamaica You’re my only one baby, let’s go Jamaica, Jamaica I’ve been out there So calm and warm Jamaica Tropical sun Jamaica You’re the only one

Who to Trust? 04:13
lyrics
What do you want from me? Don’t tell me what to do Stop throwing yourself at me What do you want from me? Don’t tell me what to do Stop mutilating up my brain Your actions speak so loud Can’t even hear a thing Stop throwing yourself at me Just tell me what you want So I can reject you Stop mutilating my brain How am I supposed to trust you? [Fuck off] [Fuck off] I don’t even trust myself at all This is not the time to give in [Not now] [Not now] I don’t even trust myself at all Who do I trust? What do you want from me? Don’t tell me what to do Would you please fuck off? What do you want from me? Don’t tell me what to do No, not now please How am I supposed to trust you? [Fuck off] [Fuck off] I don’t even trust my self at all This is not the time to give in [Not now] [Not now] I don’t even trust myself at all Who do I trust?!
