People are starving
their jobs just arent paying
the cops and the company take everything
the system and socials leave you with nothing
and then they lose control
they just lose control

crowds in the street on general strike
theres no one to cross the picket lines
the wranglers and the leaders and the back room dealers
cant leave their homes
because they lost control
they've never lost control
this is america, you never lose control
or your head will roll

the national guard is at it again
killing people in the streets on live news at 10
and it goes to hell
except there is control in hell
its just as well

the radio burns a hole in the sky
free spoken protest turns to a rallying cry
to take control

and your born
to burn
your own city down to the ground

officer joe lost control, beats a student to death on sunset avenue
and all hell ensues
its the fate they choose
there go the rules
theyve got power to abuse

the gas fills the streets and people are choking
peaceful protest turns into cop and robber killing
the rubber bullets just dont satisfy any more
the fire houses wont flow
when theres no control
and the gas still goes
its a riot in hell

thick white death in uniform
civilians wearing gasmasks get their air torn away from them
their minds die
they claw out their eyes
they lose control

I cant replace you
wont mistake you
hate to tell you
im too good for you
your words your lips your silent eyes
combines itself into your shocked suprise
when i get away from you
and the hole in heart makes you want to die
im headed out of town and i wont write to you
i break all contact because i love you
i wont replace you
just forget you
never see or hear and read of you
i hope i remember to just forget you
-----
I try not to offend those who are most offensive
block my way and make me want to hide
its hard to side with anyone who likes you
the drumming in my hears is the beat you play
the heaven you go to is the hell i pay
silently standing in the strangle of the jokes you say
something eats at you and you just get tired
of the things that tear at you and you turn it all away
your a loser and a quitter
and my silence makes you weaker
------
i cant breathe
i cant see
i cant listen
i cant flee
i can do anything my mind lets me
stuck in this prison of immobility
you laugh at me and i stare ahead
i dont have the nerve to turn red
i cant lift a finger i cant make a sound
ill never drive and ill never drown
im kept alive
and i dont know why
i sit and think
because its all god gave me
all my joys are made in my brain
and i cant end it
this is the life i lead
this is the living i lead
this is the living im given by the tube that feeds
