Protect & Serve
03:44

Can I walk the street?
Should I drive my car?
Can I even go outside?
I don’t know anymore
How will we have protection?
We’ve forgotten our constitution
The leaders we all look up to
Have a moral infection
The violence I see,
are we really so free?
All the hate in there eyes,
they will not compromise
Can I even go outside?
I don’t know anymore
What shall we do for justive?
It’s not in a uniform
Are good cops really a myth,
Or is there no video record?
Can I ask a question Officer,
Will you protect and serve?
All the freedoms
our fellow countrymen,
Have fought and died to preserve
Do human rights exist today?
You know, I’m really not too sure
Police State in America,
Can we find the cure?
There’s Labor of love,
You chose what you’ve become
If you don’t like your job
Take back that oath you swore
What shall we do for justice?
Living in a corporate nation,
The dollar rules the day
Force feeding a false education
The coruption I see in the AZPD
The state always hides
evidence of their lies
Are we even safe at home?
I don’t know anymore

Spoke in the Wheel
02:18
|
|||
|
On a planet full of Dicks
in a land we've made our own
We forfeit our free will
For cellular phones
In blind pursuit of a dream
a dream that isn’t real
To eating our fast food
or be an eco-freak
An easy machine
Throw away water and ice
and we’ll call it charity
A facebook video so all my
friends can laugh at me
Compassion continues
failing the world hopelessly
A subtle treachery
In a mindless state of bliss
owned by whom we never know
Rarely we resist
The online ebb and flow
FOX news misinformed
A spoke in the wheel
NPR and social media
is false reality
As the masses beat around
the bush endlessly

You, Me & Them
02:20
|
|||
|
I think that this time we got ‘em
Now I can see better days
This is not about the damn dimes
At least it’s what we say
‘Cuz we have had enough
Now it’s time for a change
But wait something went wrong
Fuck! We chose them again?
We fight for the same cause
We’re one and the same
But I’m just less equal than you
So we shall do it my way
You say that they are the problem
When you are as bad as they are
You always look for an advantage
I would not go that far
We’ll get it done this time
And make sure you all pay
Since you will never wake up
Fascism will lead the way

Give Us Some Rope
02:24
|
|||
|
Aspirations sleeping in,
attitude is drunk again
My constitutions wearing thin,
but it’s not over yet
Their plan did work good for a while
No longer able to take me for a child
Give us a chance to place our bets,
Give us some rope better yet
(Cut us some slack better yet)
We’re all victoms, of a national crime
Not too surprised
I think I knew it all the time
Never surrender, don’t give up hope
Just stupid slogans when it comes to the end

Early Goodbye
03:07
|
|||
|
I’m sure you would’ve stayed longer
A mother’s early goodbye
Teardrops on his grave
I know we’ll meet again
In permanent resting places
Live life to the fullest
I know it's not a game we play
(I know that’s what you’d say)
Cheers to the friends we’ve lost
Whose time has come and gone
Here's to the memories that live on
As I carry on, will I forget
All of the faces, of those I loved
But are not with me today

Down the Dose
02:42
|
|||
|
Dancing on the edge
Hanging by a thread
Down the Dose
Like some hopeless asinine
Honesty/Everything is overrated
The kids/everyone are medicated
Lost happiness, Good times
you missed tonight
You set the runway
Moving at the wrong pace
You said the wrong things
Pulled the wrong strings just in spite
Feels like kicking a stone
A perpetual monotone
The undertones
Of a hopeless compromise
Just down the dose
and turn the page tonight
Happiness is casualty
When our love turns to hate
Friendship mortality
Is it ever too late?
To last to an old age
Continuing this constate state
of living our own lives
from day to day
The same in every way
alright.

Vices to the Grave
03:09
|
|||
|
Everyone has something that they need...
to get by.
People taking any kind of drug...
to survive.
What we consume don’t control us...
in my case.
Vices walk us into old age...
Our graves.
I could never do this on my own.
A little help to get by,
I’m never alone.
This goes out to those that can
but never try.
Take a chance
or life will pass you by.
I wish you would get high/stoned.

Price to Overcome
03:01
|
|||
|
We paid a price to overcome,
Maybe think twice,
not give up hope
And you will someday
find your everything
What we need is not what it
seems to be (what we believe)
What we want is not what
we’ve done
Survive & live to see another day
They’re gonna come for me again,
and take all my friends
They’re gonna make me disappear,
take it all away
Let’s go!
For fear, for a chance to live again
Once more it’s time to leave
our sacks of shit behind
You’ll never here from me but we’re alright.....

Stand Together
01:52
|
|||
|
I don’t wanna deal with the landlord today
& all that boring shit you know he’s gonna say
I’m not gonna move when the push comes to shove
Hold my resolve til’ the meek hail from above
Lost in commotion,
never seem to try,
Downfall & demotion,
Free will sucked dry,
Our rights are lost forever,
We’ve been
led astray,
If we don’t stand together we’ll die another day
My credit isn’t much, my wallet needs a crutch
The system laughs at me & wants to see me bleed
Our votes don’t mean a damn, I think it’s all a scam
All my want and say cannot change their ways
We can never be free, you and me, will stand & fight
Or the people will never believe

Enjoy the Taste
02:23

|
What’s a worst case scenario?
Do you wanna know?
If you have to ask I won’t tell you.
Well enough alone.
Nothing you do will speed up the pace.
It is not a race.
Take it easy
once in awhile,
Enjoy the taste!
Living together,
We die all the same,
Stand togethe
or dig your own grave!
Day to day,
Just playing their game.
Is that the life now?
From cradle to grave,
we all sing the same song,
from prick to douche bag,
just follow along.
In the end I will not tell you...
What’s a worst case scenario?
(Why is life so dysfunctional?)

A Way to Leave
02:16
|
|||
|
We made a choice when we ran together
Not very wise, at the time it seemed so clever
We had it right but we had no money
maybe we’re blind, at least we won’t be lonely
Where we may go will always be a highway
A place to flea, A way to leave
Forget the past and look unto a new day
Let’s fuck the future! Then have a riot!
I heard a voice, it told me to be sober
But whats the point I’m not getting any younger
There is a point where the going gets boring
I crack a beer and for now I am ignoring

Walking A Lie
02:13
|
|||
|
I am walking a lie
‘Cuz I cannot choose what’s right
Nor select a side
‘Cuz I am walking a lie
I am walking a lie
Cuz’ we’re all waiting in line
Said we’re waiting line
We’re waiting
Walking a lie
Why can’t we open their eyes?
Why don’t we take
them by surprise?
We can open their eyes
No longer walking a lie
No longer walking their lies
We won’t listen to lies
