Drive Me On

You chained me down
You brought me out
I see now there’s no escape
Cuz’ I belong to you now
You love…to lay the whip across my back
A willing victim of your games
You give me all I need to stay between the lines.
You drive me on….on and on.
Your sadistic ways
Appeal to my masochistic tendencies
I love how you punish me
When you make me scream your name
You love…to lay the whip across my back
A willing victim of your games
You give me all I need to stay between the lines.
You drive me on….on and on. Drive me on.
You love…to lay the whip across my back
A willing victim of your games
These chains start to feel like home to me
I was meant to be your slave
You give me all I need to stay between the lines.
You drive me on….on and on.

Modes of Control

Dronin’ on with these tired lines feelin’ the cold of a guided life.
Why did I not see it sooner, and engage in resistance?
It’s a reflection, of a system in disorder; a cool deception,
Forming its borders, to control us, like willing slaves
Comin’ on, we resist, and blast away at the hierarchical
Modes of control, to gain our freedom, once and for all
We see the love in each other’s eyes, and we feel the connection
Why did we not get here sooner, and recognize the inflection?
It’s just a symptom, of a system in disorder; a cool deception,
Forming its borders, to control us, like willing slaves
Comin’ on, we resist, and blast away at the hierarchical
Modes of control, to gain our freedom, once and for all
I am, what you are, we are the same
I am what you are, we are, we are, we are, we are the same!
Dronin’ on with these tired lines feelin’ the cold of a tired life.
Why did we not see it sooner, and engage in resistance?

Given the time to contemplate..all that I’ve given away
The picture that was just black lines…fades to colors that run and fade
Oooooooh…I gave it away.
This paint-by-numbers life I’ve led…reminds me of what you said.
Just do it because it’s right…you’re reward will be knowin’ you did.
Oooooooo… I gave it away.
Oooooooo… I gave it away.
Oooooooo… I gave it away.
Gave it all away

More of the Same
03:31

This feeling won’t go away, won’t go away.
Every solution seems like more of the same
They crow about it,
And hope we buy it
And they lie right to our face.
Are we just too dumb to notice?
Or are we insane?
There aint no way to sustain,
Just adding fuel to this runaway train
This system don’t care about us.
It just perpetuates itself.
Nothin’ fallin’ into place.
How long will it take us people
To see that something’s gotta’ change?
Do we wana’ leave the world better than we found it?
Will our children call us heroes, or in…say…ay…ay…ay…ayn.
Mr. President, got somethin’ on his mind
He wana’ make it better, but somehow he changed his mind
Does it matter who’s elected?
Does it really matter?
They just leave us all behind.
And if it’s guna’ change
We’ll have to change ourselves
Future generations will look back and wonder
How we could have lived with the shame
Do we wana’ leave the world better than we found it?
Will our children call us heroes, or insane?
Future generations will look back and wonder
How we could have lived with the shame
Do we wana’ leave the world better than we found it?
Will our children call us heroes, or insane?

All over…the world…people are cryin’ out
We all know…something’s just not right
The TV’s telling me…I should be afraid
They want me to kill…they want me to hate
Here come the politicians…to drive it home
If we don’t go to war…then freedom’s gone
They repeat the mantra…and say it proud
We don’t want the smokin’ gun…to become a mushroom cloud
You can’t make peace..by waging war
Can’t make things better…by killing more
All tyranny needs to survive…good people to stand by
As long as we look away…listen and blindly obey
A decade later…things are still the same
Still finding ways…to sell the charade
War is a racket…based on lies
Profits reckoned in dollar bills…and the losses in lives
You can’t make peace..by waging war
Can’t make things better…by killing more
If we look inside…we see we’re all the same
We claim to love a god by…killing in his name
All tyranny needs to survive…good people to stand by
As long as we look away…listen and blindly obey
This can’t go on….it has to end
No more…no more… no more… no more
All tyranny needs to survive…good people to stand by
As long as we look away…listen and blindly obey
This can’t go on….it has to end
No more…no more… no more… no more

Let it go Let it Die

Mr. Politician, can you promise us now
That the world you’ve created can sustain us all
There’s no “left” and no “right” way to win this fight
Nature is a dictator
Evolution on our side; a revolution of the mind
Maybe you should get out of the way
While you’re livin’ like a king, millions are dyin’.
And what we wana’ be aint what you’re supplyin’.
Can’t give us what we want; won’t give us what we need
You’re pyramid is crumbling
The system can’t go on; you know it’s obsolete.
Let’s replace it with somethin’ better
Let it go, let it die
Money don’t hold no truth
A child’s eyes never lie
You seem to love to strut around
And try to make things look better
May have fooled us once or twice
But now we’re pulling together
Start lookin’ at yourself; put the bullshit on a shelf
The system is dyin’.
War is what you sell; you’ve made a living Hell
We’re no longer buyin’.
Let it go, let it die
Money don’t hold no truth
A child’s eyes never lie
It’s time to…to draw a line
Knowin’ that we can’t lose
Unless we never try
Break
Let it go, let it die
Money don’t hold no truth
A child’s eyes never lie
It’s time to…to draw a line
Knowin’ we can’t lose
Unless we never try

Retribution
04:06

You feel the full weight, it’s crushin’ down
Can’t change it, but you can…make restitution
Take that medicine…take it like a man
The second wrong that made it right was their solution
The bad man marches on down from his cell
The whole world is better now we sent him straight to Hell
There aint no way to steal, what I already gave away
Go on run, and tell them all, just what I said
This dead man’s walkin’ but I aint’ afraid
I know you’ll sleep much better, when you know I’m dead?
I feel the cold steel, around my neck
It’s the last thing, I’ll ever feel again
If I could, I surely would, take it back
Even though your world is what made me who I am
The bad man marches on down from his cell
The whole world is better now we’ve sent him straight to Hell
There aint no way to steal, what I already gave away
Go on run, and tell them all, just what I said
This dead man’s walkin’ but I aint’ afraid
I know sleep much better, when you know I’m dead?
Last talk…last meal…last taste…last feel
Last chance…to say…the way I feel today
For your…own sake…forgive me when I’m dead
Go on…and take…your retribution
There aint no way to steal, what I already gave away
Go on run, and tell them all, just what I said
This dead man’s walkin’ but I aint’ afraid
I know you’ll sleep much better when you know I’m dead?
I’m dead…When you know I’m dead
