Upper crust with tarnished surface (x3)
Born with silver spoon projecting
From the mouth there’s no protecting
People from pretentious graces
Force the shit back in their faces
Think yourself better – Ahead of the pack
It’s easy to win when the deck is stacked
Upper crust with tarnished surface (x3)
Always thinking yourself better
Will someday lead to regretting
Those you knew that couldn’t climb up
To the pedestal that you stand on
Think yourself better – Ahead of the pack
It’s easy to win when the deck is stacked
Upper crust with tarnished surface

PLASTER CASTS
Why not believe? Why not believe
In the slightest possibility?
Why disagree? Why disagree?
Truth bleeds out historically
It’s not a man in a fucking ape suit (x4)
Sceptics line up – A bid to discount
Turn a blind eye – Evidence mounts
Bipedal primate – Eluding our science
Fur bearing rebel – Walks in defiance
It’s not a man in a fucking ape suit (x4)
Skunk ape, Sasquatch, Bigfoot, Almas (x2)

ABUSE OF HUMANITY
The beast begins to rise from within
Surreal transformation – Transposed DNA
Savagery quenched only by blood
Uncontrolled horror that no man can see
Let alone feel (x4)
Nine times the darkness within
Has knocked on the door of destiny
It was opened on the tenth

BLANKET OF SCRUTINY
Unhealthy fixation on an image
Fitting in but at what cost?
Hope that people will like you better
Too much pressure in being yourself
What’s the point in possessing a brain
When you rent it to people you know?
You let them guide all your thoughts and actions
Before you realize it
You’re a clone just the same (x4)
You’re a clone
Giving up your individuality under blanket of scrutiny
Used to think so much more of you
Now you’ve lost me – Friendship comes unglued
All this mindless identity crisis shit has really changed my point of view
Won’t admit now that I know you
No respect for anything you do
Die!

ENIGMA MACHINE
Nowhere left to go – Nothing left to do
Nothing left for me – Nothing left for you
Lost all respect – Found my blind spot
Interest crumbled – All in one shot
Stark betrayal – Harsh resentment
Pressure building – Starts to vent
Starts to vent
That’s what I get for putting my trust into you
Punished severely for believing the things that you say
Kicked in the head by a serious lack of foresight
That’s what I call a fucking disaster
That’s what I get for putting my trust into you
Punished severely for believing the things that you say
Kicked in the head by a serious lack of foresight
That’s what I call a fucking disaster

STAND BY POWERLESS
Stand by powerless – Stare in disgust
The nation lies ruined – Reduction to dust
Stand by powerless – Stare in dismay
Economy crippled – Gets worse every day
Stand by powerless – Attack from all sides
Surviving on rations of government lies
Stand by powerless – tremble in fear
Beginning of the end is finally here
Coded message that you’re trying to send
Corrupted power spells the bitter end
Stand by powerless (x2)

MOUNTAIN OF WEALTH
Corporate gears – Commerce central
Seize the day – With grinding halt
Freezing cold – Dead of summer
Bask in the shadow of the mountain of wealth
Resist – The mountain of wealth
Beware – Economic fallout
Resist – Foreclosed assets
Beware – Coz they’ll get you someday soon
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PISS & RAIN WATER
There’s no way you’ll ever convince me
That one race could ever be better than another
Preach from a soapbox of hatred and malice
Spray paint the walls and deface all our brothers
Fuck all this weak shit
Your forked tongue betrays you
It’s lame propaganda so why can’t you see? (x2)
You don’t even attempt to distinguish
The difference between piss and rain water
Common sense is a missing component
In the eyes of a racist – The mind of a bigot
Fuck all this weak shit
Your forked tongue betrays you
It’s lame propaganda so why can’t you see? (x2)
Why can’t you see? (x2)

LOZENGE VOLLEY
People don’t understand
The things that we scream and shout
The vocals are incoherent
Who really gives a fuck?
Lozenge volley
Throat scarring words are spit out
No sign of harmony
But the method to our madness
Is all too real to us
Lozenge volley
Open to criticism
Told we won’t get too far
Playing to have some fun
Money is not the issue
Lozenge volley

EXPIRATION DATE
Born without warning – Can’t justify it
Waking into walls while screaming in public
Degenerated – Mind is distorted
Ridiculed daily – Create paranoia
Try to ignore all the voices inside my head
People are staring – Self-Conscious nightmare
Attempting to silence – These voices from nowhere
Often I wonder what happened to me
What have I done to deserve this disease?
Try to ignore all the voices inside my head
No one understands – The state of mind that I’m in
No one gives a fuck about me and this world that I live in (x2)

RUN OFF AT THE MOUTH
Don’t try explaining – I don’t wanna hear it
All fabricated – It’s nothing but bullshit
No sense denying – We all see right through you
The things that you said to us were never true
Hypocrite bastard – You’ll choke on the words that you say (x3)
Running off at the mouth
Stage is your forum of false adoration
Address the right issue – Invite conversation
The truth is laid out – The whole world can see
Your band is a fraud – But you’re not fooling me
Hypocrite bastard – You’ll choke on the words that you say (x3)
Running off at the mouth

PROBLEM SOLVED AS MANY START
What do you say to a child that’s witnessed
The numbing effects of a life without meaning?
Lacking the means to keep head above water
It could be your son – It could be your daughter
Trying to make ends meet – Dying on the street (x2)
Fucking for money is never the answer
It grabs desperation and spreads like a cancer
Pay no attention to what they might find
When they trip and fall over the finishing line
Trying to make ends meet – Dying on the street (x2)
What do you say to a child that’s witnessed
A lifetime of shame without any assistance?
Put through the wringer and broken completely
The nightmare continues but never discretely

SIEGE ENGINE
Better start running – You better start running
Siege engine’s coming – The siege engine’s coming
Better start leaving – You better start leaving
Before you start bleeding – Before you start bleeding
Before you start bleeding – Before you start bleeding
Everyone’s bleeding – Now everyone’s bleeding
Get a good taste of the floor
Big, tough and macho – a floor punching psycho
Muscles dramatically grow
Testosterone rising – Compulsively violent
Kicks a new ass every show
Big, tough and macho – A kickboxing show off
Ego dramatically swells
Like Bronson in Death Wish you go on his hit list
Crush your skull like an egg shell
Better start running – You better start running
Siege engine’s coming – The siege engine’s coming
Better start leaving – You better start leaving
Before you start bleeding – Before you start bleeding
Before you start bleeding – Before you start bleeding
Everyone’s bleeding – Now everyone’s bleeding
Get a good taste of the floor

DON’T MAKE ME HEART PUNCH YOUR SORRY ASS!
Block the sun out – Tall as all fuck
Moustache brings him only good luck
Steel cage match – Anything goes
Burn the rule book and start breaking bones
Don’t make me heart punch your sorry ass!
Contract assassin – Misfit of wrasslin’
Pummelling chumps with unorthodox fashion
No sure defence and no sure discretion
Facing the Ox’s wrath with no direction
Bodies are reeling plasma is flying
Breathing is laboured – Crowd level rising
Sweating bullets – Vision is blurred
Begging for mercy – Your cries go unheard
Don’t make me heart punch your sorry ass!

RINSE CYCLE
Black market scriptures and mail order preachers
Absorbed all too willingly into the weakened mind
Following blindly while force fed sobriety
Brainwashed and left in an over enlightened state
A slave to religion – A slave to repression
Forced into confinement – Forced into confession
A great work of fiction – A great misconception
The bible malignant – The bible infection
Misuse of influence – Misuse of role
As they’re stripped of all dignity – Stripped of the soul
Identity banished – Identity laundered
Like money it’s spent – Like money it’s squandered
We’ve got to identify and confront the problem
We’ve got to resist the actions of the Jesus thugs (x4)
Fuck yourself!

THE WHEELS OF JUSTICE ARE CLOGGED WITH SHIT
Badge wearing fascist I’ll crucify you
On the scales of justice you fail to honour
Police protection – Selective ambition
Corruption in dress blues – A self-serving drama
Lying in wait – Loosen the holster
In the wrong place at the wrong fucking time
Walk down the street as you mind your own business
A nightmare in blue sends you straight to the ground
Echoes of gunfire shatter the silence
As innocents fall under hot leaden showers
You’re more concerned with harassing skateboarders
That skate in the church parking lot after hours
Nothing to do – Cramp people’s style
Giving citations for just having fun
Drunk on your attitude – High on your status
Better thank whoever gave you that gun
Burned all your bridges – Your own kids despise you
You don’t see the faults in the life that you’ve lead
Came unprepared for the power you wield
The nightstick rains down on the pacifist head
You’ll have your day – People will wise up
A taste of your medicine is what you’ll get
Choking to death as you drown in your own blood
Police state in flames from a firebomb blast
