1. UNDER ATTACK

Hey You!

Send us off to war - Send us off to die
We know the truth - We won't buy your lies now
We're fed up - We don't want to wait
This war is a farce - You send us to die now

Under Attack - We're under attack
Under Attack - We're under attack

We said it once - Se said it before
We're not the ones - Who want this fucking war
We are fed up - We don't want to wait
We need a change - We won't buy your lies now

Under Attack - We're under attack
Under Attack - We're under attack

Power is terror (x2)

See the youth mislead and used
We don't want to kill for you

We don't want your lies - We're sick of your faults
You want a war - We don't want it at all
You don't give a fuck - If we live or die
You don't really care - If there's no one left

You don't own our future...


2. WITHOUT WARNING

Oil production already peeked
Our days - Are now numbered
We are heading towards disaster
And most of us don't even know it

Without warning - No second chance
And most of us don't even know it!
Without warning - No second chance

Instead of using alternatives
Drained the earth - Oil is extinct
We will not be prepared
With no preparations, crisis will arise

Without warning - No second chance
With no preparations, crisis will arise!
Without warning - No second chance

Economic crash brings depression
Fool and energy shortages
Fighting over resources
Millions of human d e a t h s!

Without warning - No second chance
Millions of human d e a t h s!
Without warning - No second chance

They don't give us an alternative
If they can't make money out of it

Warning... Without warning...
Warning... Without warning...


3. SYSTEM FAILED US AGAIN

Whoa... Oh... Oh... The system failed us again
Whoa... Oh... Oh... The system failed us again

Factory layoff, welfare checks
Who's to blame for the state we're in?
The system failed us
Government housing, concentration camps
Ghetto barriers separate each class
The system failed us

Whoa... Oh... Oh... The system failed us again
Whoa... Oh... Oh... The system failed us again

We've been pushed down into extinction
Talking about the infirmed, the elderly
Families can't afford health insurance
Have to choose - groceries to eat or medicine to live

Native cultures, praise the old
Through experience they've seen it all
The system failed us
There's a power in control
Making sure they won't teach the young
The system failed us

Whoa... Oh... Oh... The system failed us again
Whoa... Oh... Oh... The system failed us again

At charity care they treat you like shit
They've got jobs, so they don't care
So you must bow like a slave
You're future depends on the decision they make

The system failed us...

See benefits being taken away
From the people, who's money you take
The system failed us
Perhaps they know too much
Get rid of them before they talk
The system failed us


4. SOCIAL OUTCAST

We are the enemies of this society

To the deprived
And the neglected
To the unwanted
And all the ones discarded in this world

Social outcast - Social outcast
We are the enemies of this society

No matter what's needed
Or how great the hurry
As long as there's rebels
You don't need to worry, we're standing beside you

Social outcast - Social outcast
We are the enemies of this society


5. V.I.P.

Welcome to the VIP room
Full of hypocrites and phonies
But no need to fear
Everyone kisses ass
Until you walk away, that is..

Before coming any further
Here's a minor for you to see
Be sure your costume and mask are straight
We won't want to see the real you

We are living in a world that's full of fakes...
We are living in a world that's full of rumors...
We are living in a world that's full of evil...
We are living in a world that's full of hate...

Next we raid the beverage bar
Relax, unwind, impair your judgment
Guarantees comfort, once you've had a few
How else do you think we can tolerate each other

Alcohol not doing it for you
Just visit the bathroom, exclusive for drug users
I don't know his name
But he looks damn cool

We are living in a world that's full of fakes...
We are living in a world that's full of rumors...
We are living in a world that's full of evil...
We are living in a world that's full of hate...

Loss of sensation
Live entertainment
No waiting in line
Special treatment

The scene is no longer
For the poor and the exploited
What has been created
You destroy!

We are living in a world that's full of fakes...
We are living in a world that's full of rumors...
We are living in a world that's full of evil...
We are living in a world that's full of hate...

Now that you're settled down
We can follow the conversation
"Nice belt, nice shirt"
"Thank you very much, I like your shoes too"

The night is almost over, you missed the entertainment
Didn't you know, you were it
Sex and drugs and glamour
Is that what it's about?

Fuck you!


6. NO SOLUTION - NO CONTROL

American neurosis breeds a generation
Full of idiots to control and lack of education

No solution - No control

Store bought fixations
good at spending money but poor in conversation

There's gotta be a reason
There's gotta be an answer
No solution - No control

There's gotta be a reason
There's gotta be a way
No solution - No control

Believing what you're told
Spending on needless things
Already manipulated, suckers for the taking

No solution - No control

generic breed, McChildren of today..
Our fearful tomorrow

The product of a marketing strategy
ó generation created with no conscious
Marching to their pop anthem
And always remaining anonymous

No solution - No control
No control - No control

American neurosis breeds the ideal generation
Full of fucking idiots and lack of education

No solution - No control

I'll tell you one thing...
May as well bend over because you're being fucked!


7. DOWN AND OUT

I'll tell you a little story
A man roaming the streets
The one with raggedy clothes
The one you ignore to see

I'll tell you a little story
A man i used to know
Smelling oh so bad
People laugh at him

Down and out
Call him what you'd like
Penniless and broke
Destitute for life
Down and out
Without a roof tonight
Wandering around
His life is in a rut

I once knew a man
Who's life was doing fine
Got himself a degree
and a fine looking wife

I once knew a man
Put a mortgage on a house
Bought a nice car
And friends were all around

Cloudy days will come
Getting laid of is all part of life
Losing, first your house
Your wife is next line

Cloudy days will come
No friends are to be found
The life you once had
Is taken just like that!

Down and out
He was once one of us
Life can take a turn
Life can be unkind
Who's concern
How about you and me
Think for a minute
It can happen to anyone!


8. IN IT FOR LIFE

Look out! Look out!
here somes a man
Woody Guthrie, no one should forget

Why - do you think he stood for you and me?
Why - should no one forget about him?

In it for life - He didn't change for no one

He stood for you
He stood for me
He stood for us
In it for life

He cared! He cared!
For the working class
Anti war songs, and embraced my kind

Why - Do you think the poor loved him so much?
Why - The common man and all the immigrants?

In it for life - He didn't change for no one

He stood for you
He stood for me
He stood for us
In it for life

This machine kills fucking fascists!

In it for life - He didn't change for no one

He stood for you
He stood for me
He stood for us
In it for life


9. ON CITY STREETS

Casualties
Time to take a stand
United we are strong
We will carry on

Let's go..

Com on all you people
Of inner city streets
The ones contaminated
Whoever you may be

Punk was born and grew
On concrete city streets
And so was yours truly
Can't wash the dirt off me

No one, can see
Why I'm so polluted
Indolent and so unclean

No one, can see
This foul mouthed offender
Filthy and grimy

This renegade
From the bottomless pit
Was trained by the street
In the art of hate

Roaring sirens screaming
Cluttered sidewalk streets
Can't escape the concrete jungle
That lives inside of me

No one, can see
Why I'm so polluted
Indolent and so unclean

No one, can see
This foul mouthed offender
Filthy and grimy

United we are strong - Time to take a stand
We will carry on - We are never giving up

Then without knowing
Where I come from
What my roots are
And what my future holds

I'll tell you why
You can't comprehend
First you need to learn
To later understand

No one, can see
Why I'm so polluted
Indolent and so unclean

No one, can see
This foul mouthed offender
Filthy and grimy

Like a sewer rat
Watch out i bite
I'm dangerous and wild
Get out of my sight

Casualties... Come on casualties


10. FALLEN HEROES

Fallen heroes
Fallen heroes

The idols of today - The one's you like to praise
The idols of today - Fuck them all

The symbols of today, glorify yourselves
Rock stars and athletes, low IQ and vacant heads
The world is at your feet, you feel so fucking high
With ego, drugs and money - a message to your kind

Heroes - Heroes
Fallen heroes

Heroes - Heroes
Fallen heroes

The stars of today - A disgrace to the world
The stars of today - Fuck them all

Hey leading man, are you getting lost?
The power and the glory is taking control
Is there any truth in lines you engrave?
When your walls crumble down, I'll be dancing on your grave

Heroes - Heroes
Fallen heroes

Heroes - Heroes
Fallen heroes

See through your eyes the deception that you give
Money, silver and gold is what you seek
An icon to the masses, a disgrace to the world
Not humble or caring you're the junk of the earth

Heroes - Heroes
Fallen heroes

Heroes - Heroes
Fuck your heroes


11. GREAT AMERICAN PROGRESS

Get Revenge
Against the lies
Find the Truth
Open Your Eyes

Their textbooks mask the truth
History lies, make you a fool
Columbus came, see Natives killed
A holiday, for the blood that spilled

Ignorance and oppression
Blacks in fields from dusk till dawn
Watchful eyes and white mans whip
Great American Progress

Get Revenge
Against the lies
Find the Truth
Open Your Eyes

The Chinese, forced to obey
Submission, abandoned ways
The Irish came, considered bums
Fend for themselves, crammed into slums

Supposed land of the free
American family tree
Supposed land of the free
Lady Liberty lied to me

See history repeat itself
Its happening over again

Get Revenge
Against the lies
Find the Truth
Open Your Eyes

The Japanese, born in this land
in '45 concentration camps
New immigrants they have no chance
Border closed, Take a stand

Supposed land of the free
Lady Liberty lied to me
Supposed land of the free
That stupid bitch lied to me
