1. INTRO

Greetings Patron Saints and guilty faces
we welcome you to our horror show of an event
with open hearts and bloody grins
we sing the songs of times to come
and the ones we've grown to love!
Those in the way...BEWARE!
Before everything falls apart...CREATE!


2. FRED'S GOT SLACKS

Destroy positions of power and what stands between you and the final stretch
Where you find out what happens in the end
Man on the corner preaching, screaming the devil is coming!
And the earth will plummet to the ground again
I hope to death that no one knows and they don't find a way
To bullshit, cheat, lie, and steal
Then run away through the trenches and the streets
The famous alleyway
I've got a feeling that today is not my day
The facts have been stated, they're implausible
The cause of the week
Too heavy for a freak like me
Like me
Hit the brick running with the rhythm in your feet
And all your feelings in a fist
It's too much to resist when you're only 16
Waiting for the weekend train to come
Right outta here
6 strings to the wind and I'm gone
Head on collision with the barrel of our social forms gun
When the shells hit the ground, it's time to go home

Apathetic, we're pathetic
It's easy to see
The fires ignited and the flames have gotten the best of me
Hands up, fists high
For everyone to see!
We're destructive, so disruptive
It's gotten to me
Let's hit the streets and show 'em what we mean
Hey!
We've got the heart and mind to mix in with the gasoline

Hopping along the border of whats rude and whats insane
It's the same as everyday
Everyday is the same
Still haven't found the answers to the questions I've been asking
And nothing strikes resemblance to the memory I remember
Those days, didn't they seem so long ago?
Free to go wherever we wanted
Free to say no
End of the line and we're really wasting time
End of the like and there's no one left behind us
Hit the cobblestone road there's precision in the distance
Who gives a fuck if he's a metro-sexual?
I know you did, cause you're a hetero-molestico
There's malice in the words that first seemed oh so comfortable
Finding a new way can be devastating to some
Look on the bright side, you're not the one toting a gun
You wipe your ass like everybody does
And ask for my reasons
Well I've got none

Apathetic, we're pathetic
It's easy to see
The fires ignited and the flames have gotten the best of me
Hands up, fists high
For everyone to see!
We're destructive, so disruptive
It's gotten to me
Let's hit the streets and show 'em what we mean
Hey!
We've got the heart and mind to mix in with the gasoline

Hands up, fists high
Hands up, fists high
Hands up, fists high (We're apathetic)
Hands up, fists high

Hands up, fists high (We're so pathetic)
Hands up, fists high (and oh so fucking pathetic)

Apathetic, we're pathetic
It's easy to see
The fires ignited and the flames have gotten the best of me
Hands up, fists high
For everyone to see!
We're destructive, so disruptive
It's gotten to me
Let's hit the streets and show 'em what we mean
Hey!
We've got the heart and mind to mix in with the gasoline


3. THERE'S A PROBLEM

Confident not caring
People say I scare them,
But I don't listen to them
I don't let them get to me
Reassured that I'm a person
I live the lessons that I'm learning
I was once told everything would come crashing down on me
Judged for how I look
The things I have and things I too
Confined conformity
Why do people keep looking down on me?
It's dangerously hopeless
And it's strangely out of focus
Why don't they just come and find me?

There's a problem and it's gonna get deeper
The size is growing and it's growing with people
We all chant we let them know
That's exactly how the story goes
[x2]

We'll teach em how to fight and we'll teach em how to die
Only significance to everything is unknown
You're calling on the phone and my throat is getting sore
So I just end up hanging up and leaving you all alone
So let's forget the phone call
And let's remember we all started this together and took the fall
But we ended up on top and everything just stopped
It's over

There's a problem and it's gonna get deeper
The size is growing and it's growing with people
We all chant we let them know
That's exactly how the story goes
[x2]


4. PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUCEMENT

Now you're fighting
Because you found another reason
To corrupt the youth with pills
And booze and all the other lies and remedies
For a good conversation
Where someone's left down and out
With no other way out but the worst

I'm trying to make a point
So take your fingers out of your ears
And just listen without a doubt
I'm finding out there's more to life
Hey hey hey hey hey hey

Just for once, take it into consideration
That I'm not the only one doing things wrong
It took a while for you to realize,
And you're only halfway there,
You're a hero in your own mind

I'm trying to make a point
So take your fingers out of your ears
And just listen without a doubt
I'm finding out there's more to life
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey


5. BAD NEWS

Every time I turn on the TV click
To the news and I see is bad things happening
People dying and people killing
And everybody amplifying
Destruction and chaos all around the world
Every time I see it it makes my stomach curl
My stomach curl

We've gotta make up for all the mistakes that have been made
And the way the media portrays
The day in the life of someone else as some stupid celebrity
The media takes a good story and pumps it full of evil
And I'm getting fed up with the whole deal
And everyday people are upset with the world itself
And I'm stuck in the middle of a growing trend
Where friends aren't friends until the end
They'll stab each other in the back for little recognition
Before they know what to do they're down to zero and nobody wants to know them

Freight train headed for me
And I can't see a thing
Freight train headed for me
Freight train of destruction like a punch in the face

News at 6 o'clock eleven eleven thirty
All I see is people dying
CNN and all the terrorists
When will this cycle of shit begin to end?

Every time I look at the news paper
I see the headlines saying things and jumping out at me
More modern war stories, more things to worry about
The list is piling up and it seems that I can't do a thing about it
The media makes fun of it and we have to live it

Freight train headed for me
And I can't see a thing
Freight train headed for me
Freight train of destruction like a punch in the face


Every time I turn on the TV click
To the news and I see it's some bad things happening
People dying and people killing
And everybody amplifying
Destruction and chaos all around the world
Every time I see it it makes my stomach curl

Freight train headed for me
And I can't see a thing
Freight train headed for me
Freight train of destruction like a punch in the face


6. MY HANDS ARE TIED

Label me and instigate a fight
Sign your name on the dotted line
We'll complain about the bill of human rights
Stop me now, if you try I will only feed more lies
To the underbelly of a war we'd love to fight

The brouhaha of an entire nation
Will you fight all of us?
One hand tied around your back
And one in front to block the attack

Back up a step and take a dive
It's over now, say goodbye
Ask yourself a question why
Why why why
Find the person in yourself and release them to the world
When they reach the point of suicide, tell them that I say hi

The brouhaha of an entire nation
Will you fight all of us?
One hand tied around your back
And one in front to block the attack


Proposition: truth
The young and old, the young and old
The youth of today need to find a better way
To co-exist with all of this
It's bullshit, and everything you say is socially unsafe

The brouhaha of an entire nation
Will you fight all of us?
One hand tied around your back
And one in front to block the attack

The brouhaha of an entire nation
Will you fight all of us?
One hand tied around your back
And one in front to block the attack


7. GULLIBLE

Fall to the floor board
The cold sore on your face
Is getting sore so just burn it off
In a fight with your best friend they said
They're leaving town they'll never see your ugly face again
Why does life equal pain?
It's not a game things get complicated
A critical time to stop fucking up, your time is up
You don't get one million dollars to ease the pain
Give up when you're tired and you lose the will to live
Cause you can no longer breathe

Regain consciousness wake up on the floor,
You've been beaten and torn but you don't tell anyone
The time is gone so get off my lawn
As the officer takes you to the side,
Cuffs you and takes you in, good-fucking-bye

Believe everything that you hear
Too afraid to bring you near
Honesty and lies appear in the shadows, look behind you

Deep in the grave of self-destruction break the barricade
Follow the leader till the end, clench the power in your fists
Hold it longer than the rest, hold it longer than the rest
You're so easy to trick I could make you believe anything

Believe everything that you hear
Too afraid to bring you near
Honesty and lies appear in the shadows, look behind you


8. SCUMPUNCH

Blamed for everything done wrong he goes and gets himself a gun
Shooting dope yeah there's still hope he has hit the rock bottle to the wall
Cracks in the brick show it all too thick you better watch where you step,
You could be spreading the epidemic

Corner store robberies and everything in between
This life and the next it'll all explode like kerosene
Shots fired bones drop it's all that I see
I'm fucking sick of this town where the hell have you been?

It's not over, until it's over
Scrape the streets you motherfucker
Meet and greet with the pavement and your teeth
Economic sober nickel and dimming till we're beat
Keep things discrete or you'll be sucking like a leech

Now you can't see through the clouds of defeat
Bottled up till nothings left your tops been blown
Blame it on me like everything
Well it's okay another loose end straightened
Another time we'll take it too far
Another bottle's been broken another day is dawning on our faces
The disgrace that we bring to the table
Sometimes it seems there's no stopping it
Sometimes things go too far

It's not over, until it's over
Scrape the streets you motherfucker
Meet and greet with the pavement and your teeth
Economic sober nickel and dimming till we're beat
Keep things discrete or you'll be sucking like a leech

It's not over, until it's over
Scrape the streets you motherfucker
Meet and greet with the pavement and your teeth
Economic sober nickel and dimming till we're beat
Keep things discrete or you'll be sucking like a leech

It's not over, until it's over
Scrape the streets you motherfucker
Meet and greet with the pavement and your teeth
Economic sober nickel and dimming till we're beat
Keep things discrete or you'll be sucking like a leech


9. I AM ABANDONED

Once again I am abandoned all hope is lost, what else is new?
And I can't go on thinking about it
How in the past you've failed so many times
I thought it would've been a wake up call by now
But I guess theres always something new you have to find out for yourself

So many lessons have been learned
So many bridges have been burned
Into the back of our memory
As far back as it goes and still nobody knows...

Some things will never change
Some things will always stay the same
Some things have no meaning but it's okay we might not make it anyway
Some things will never change

Can anyone explain to me what the word pathetic really means?
At first it was funny but now it's an insult
I'm not angry
It just seems that everywhere I look there's another person having problems instead of me
What has this world come to when all I see is me?

So many lessons have been learned
So many bridges have been burned
Into the back of our memory
As far back as it goes and still nobody knows...

Some things will never change
Some things will always stay the same
Some things have no meaning but it's okay we might not make it anyway
Some things will never change

It makes no sense to me
None of this can be happening
But I'll stick around with my feet on the ground waiting anxiously
And I just don't agree
With some of the stupid ideas
You heard me

Cause I am abandoned

Some things will never change
Some things will always stay the same
Some things have no meaning but it's okay we might not make it anyway
Some things will never change


10. MACORETTA BOOZER

Another nights out of sight
Another drink what is he thinking?
We all need to get a grip but not him don't let him slip
Unmarked can in his hand, he opens it and doesn't understand
It's on the floor, head over the toilet
He can't see anymore
"All I need in this world is my good friend alcoholic"
He says as hes pressing the buttons on his keyboard
Another message left to make everyone laugh and tomorrow it all happens again

Sitting in his basement he drinks a pint
Now it's time
Outraged and uncontrolled
He goes out and gets some more he says that
He doesn't have a drinking problem while he's drinking down his own 2-4
He's passed out, he hit the floor
He hit the floor

Always adding his 2 cents, but it's okay because it helps
Always drunk as a skunk in the basement by himself
Closet alcoholic, 40 oz Jim beam then vomit
Aim for the toilet his head will be hurting in the morning
He's on a drunken rampage smashing bottles in his way
I'll tell you don't get in his way today
He brings out the drunk in you
He'll tell you to, he's boozed and bruised

Sitting in his basement he drinks a pint
Now it's time
Outraged and uncontrolled
He goes out and gets some more he says that
He doesn't have a drinking problem while he's drinking down his own 2-4
He's passed out, he hit the floor
He hit the floor

Sitting in his basement he drinks a pint
Now it's time
Outraged and uncontrolled
He goes out and gets some more he says that
He doesn't have a drinking problem while he's drinking down his own 2-4
He's passed out, he hit the floor


11. BROKEN BONES

Touched by the hands that have murdered a million
Unarmed patrons' fists raised
They don't wanna listen to the bullshit being fed to them spoonful at a time
When death can cost more than a quarter, nickel, and a dime
Hand's up, questions are raised
Another first-thing-in-the-morning-bombing
These days they say there's so much to live for, I'm really not sure
With all the shit that's going on, we're told to keep our heads up

What's next? One more mass suicide?
The context of it, we don't even have the time
Some say that we've over analyzed it
But the real reason people are effected by it is the neglect on some's behalf
Who are ruining it for the rest of us that just wanna see this end
The hands of time can't be expected to fix this
Who would've thought it would've come to this?

Wake up to this world
It's gonna be too late, it's gonna be too late
Wake up
When the war is over there's nowhere to go

Firing down the line, sharpshooter in the corner
The door won't open, with a blast it's blown wide open
A bullet in the head, a factory worker is dead
It'll make the headline news, but they'll keep beating up on you
Told to go away, tightrope walking everyday just to be safe
I've gotta say I haven't got all day
And it's so horrible that your stomach's so full
There is a way out, but it's an ugly road

Wake up to this world
It's gonna be too late, it's gonna be too late
Wake up
When the war is over there's nowhere to go
Wake up to this world
It's gonna be too late, it's gonna be too late
Wake up

When the war is over, we'll have to start all over
When the war is over, there's no home or shelter
We're gonna start all over

Wake up to this world
Oh, wake up
Wake up
Just wake up to this world


12. QUALITY TELEVISION

Today we're in a state of blasting bullshit through the air waves
Wasting money, precious time is lost over the network race
I can't turn on my TV without seeing someone who looks like me
"it's a look into their world" they say, I don't give a shit anyway
Everyday life televised everyday for people to see
How someone who signed up for their life on TV
Is living now I hate the sound of "reality TV"
It doesn't make much sense to me
It's gonna be it or it's gonna be me

Quality television, the ringing in my head
Zombified by the networks lies and their editing
Quality television, the static gets to me
Quality television... stay away from me

Bide the time before this time bomb blows up in everybody's face
The human race just can't agree on what is and isn't a disgrace
It's to the point where every minute that I sit there
Wondering what's out there... I just remember: nothing important
It's just a bunch of filler and I've had it up and over
Let's hope soon enough that it'll be done and over
Dreading moments caught on camera, bullshit TV, propaganda
Everything that's good and bad, you be the judge of what you have

Quality television, the ringing in my head
Zombified by the networks lies and their editing
Quality television, the static gets to me
Quality television... stay away from me

Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Quality television
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Quality television
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Quality television
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Quality television


13. DO OR DIE

Wake up late in the day, I'm roaming the streets,
I'm awake headache, gonna kill the pain
With some pills, I'm falling asleep today
Reluctantly trying to keep a straight face
I'm in decay, I'm okay everything is okay
Thinking "do or die" with a smile, feeling alright
But I just can't think with this being rubbed in my face
Tear gas and grenades, it's just another day

Running, fucking running, running on no sleep
While I see you quit, I can't say the same for me
Harder to kick than you think where a good times still had
I'm glad you're thinking of me
But when you look in the rear view mirror, all you're gonna see is me

Wasting away, I'm waiting in line today
Pigeonholed, but the police don't care about me
Why would they? who are they to take pride with every stride of their step?
You know they try too hard to impress the likes of me
That's right, you lied to me, or was that someone else?
I can't remember in my current state
Don't fucking tell me I wont remember in the morning
Just tell me when this is getting boring
I think we're at that point
This is gonna end up killing me

Running, fucking running, running on no sleep
While I see you quit, I can't say the same for me
Harder to kick than you think where a good times still had
I'm glad you're thinking of me
But when you look in the rear view mirror, all you're gonna see is me

Wake up late in the day
I'm awake, headache gonna kill the pain
Wasting away, I'm waiting in line today
I'm falling asleep today
I'm falling asleep today
I'm falling asleep today
I'm falling asleep today
I'm falling asleep today
I'm falling asleep today
I'm falling asleep today
I'm falling asleep today


14. WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOU?

When you, look down on me, I can't see, I can’t see it
Because the glare from you angry eyes is killing me,
You pretentious one,
So high up yeah, so high up oh.
It's killing me it's killing me
Different worlds can you feel it
To you or does it make a difference
But I knew you before they did...
Different strokes sugar kiss
Well Webster just couldn’t deal with yea himself,
I knew you before they did...
We’re just trying to play
And find a way for ourselves
to be happy in life
But then you and your friends have made different plans
And now we’re run or receiving
End your lies your smiles they deviate, irritate is a
Game this feeling the hate
What the hell happened to you
I'm so confused you should be too you should be too
The words are kind has be to long
Drowning myself in a bottle but nothings...wrong
And I knew you before they did...
Sitting up a sleeping roll in your eyes
You did it, you did it
I knew you before they did...
When you, look down on me, I can't see, I can’t see it
Because the glare from you angry eyes is killing me,
You pretentious one,
So high up yeah, so high up oh
