Our alternative nation where all the individuals
are just being the same.
Massive imitation,
just a 90's version of the same rock and roll game.
Yes, the same corporate rock
but now we're sporting punk rock gear.
Who's shocked by tribal tattoos and your pierced ears

Ingenious ways of wasting time.
Misused intelligence seems like a crime.
Internet gossip got you glued to the screen.
Ignoring the world beyond your five favourite zines.

And I'm sorry for the apathy.
And I'm sorry for the lethargy.
Won't let it get a hold of me.

My heart is covered;passion always tugging at my mind
Although we search for freedom, It seems that we get more
confined
Narcissism, fucking prison-selfishness the crime
Shackled br our cruetly, but I'll practice being kind
BORN TO GIVE
We take, we fucking take!

I walked down to the park where I once played
The trees have been uprooted
No grass, just brick, a factory
And a stench that fills the air
And the stream nearby
Where we laughed and cried
Has sadly been polluted
I stand stunned, my body is numb
Nobody seem

Slave to habit, a bottle, a pill-what will you do?
DEMAND INDEPENDANCE
You're losing your mind and you're losing your will
Is that really you?
"Hey I'm just growing up, I'm just having fun"
You're just on the run
You reach for excuses, but there are none
Should

Planet of cruetly, competition, and pride
When the dog feels threatened it's his nature to bite
Are they arrogant, envious, or just insecure?
They're praying like anything that I won't endure
I know where I'm standing, and I know I'll stand firm
Armed with my principles

High school enforced the way to achieve diploma
will get you all that you need.

Follow their system bent to their threats
and 4 years later you're buried in debts.

Is it education of just wasting your time.

Learned how to drink and how to get laid,
and when it

You couldn't stand it
You always demanded some attention.
I'll be damned if I understand
why you always have to have your name mentioned.
You thought that's what you wanted - you thought you knew.
But you never really had a clue.

It never rains.
But watch out

I know it's the substance that really counts, but we're into
number
we judge by amount. I know it the good, not just the plenty and
with
all our abundance we end up empty.

We deserve cake but we've settled for crumbs,
but I know one is better than a 1000?

Taug

It's a brand new day
But you're back with your old tricks
Instead of a new start
You've got new wounds to lick
How much more pain
Are you going to inflict?
And once you've burned these bridges
It's on to the next clique
I just woder HOW YOU CAN GO ON THIS

We've made our efforts for happiness
well that endeavor caused more distress
How could you expect success unless厃ou lived today

Tomorrow's dream may never come
and sure it's good to have some.
But instead of all this dreaming well why not just live today.

Romantic embrace a kiss on the face.
He loves her like lions love lamb.
He's got an agenda so he'll befriend her.
But friendship he can't understand.

She needs to be seen Queen of the scene.
She wants to conquer her man.
She says she adores him.
She'll take w

I know the guy at the door we won't have to pay.
Party all night, sleep in the next day.
Last nights girls' home by the phone.
Go in by yourself but don't go home alone.

And we just stand and act and talk about nothing.
What else is there to do. Another day on stage. <

"Welcome home".It's been so long
I thought I'd never see this place again
I've been gone for far too long
But still you recognize my face and then
I search for pictures and memories in my mind
Times are changing and I'm feeling left behind
ONCE AGAIN-I'm back where

Suck it in your senses, drink it down your throat
Hooked on their addiction, is there any hope?
In a sex wrapper, in a glided cage
We've been captured animals, but we should be enraged
Poison in your brain!

Earth and air and water will never be the same
Sold for t

You blame it on your youth, blame it on your luck
Blame it on your family, they didn't give a fuck
Blame it on your poverty or because you're rich
Blame it on the one you love and label her a bitch
POWER WITHIN
We've got the power

You blame it on the weather, but I thin

So many headlines, so many lies
What in the world does it take to survive?
So many headaces, negative views
I'll tell you what the people could do...
Self worth - Brace yourself!
Self worth - You hate yourself!
Self worth - And the hand that you were dealt!
Sel

You've got to state your mission, establish your goals
Explicity see yourself down the road
Know what you want, know what you need
And know that you've got what it takes to succeed
Discipline, direction
And determination
Discipline, perfection
Transformation </

Look at his hair, look at his clothes
Jump to conclusions, but we'll never know
Look at his past, look at his skin
Never knowing the person, but still we condemn
Everyone says "This guy's going nowhere"
Do you think these words will help him grow?
What is the cost t

I knew to keep quiet was the crime of the time.
And if I did try it - It would be the death of my mind.
They said to be loved you must tow the party line.
But I can't pretend so I left it behind.

So we spoke our mind.
And I'll never find that I'm a lesser man for speak
