Contain! Detain! Chain them up and Restrain with pain Obtain their secrets Open the brain Erase these memories Retrain! Obey! Now enslaved Murder in the streets Send a message to those who speak Display of violence to silence the meek Obey the powers or feed the machine Murdered in your sleep Dissolve the conscience, dispose of their dreams Flush the surplus, repurpose the need Burned to ashes we feed the machine Murder industry Past expiration a spoiled disease Recycle flesh into soylent green Herd the prisoners to feed the machine Murder industry Stripped and faceless, conversion complete Human replacement conjoined at the seams Another victim to feed the machine Murder the industry Break up the endless greed Tear down those heartless fiends Turned the tables, it's time to feast

They shamble onward through the streets In search of living meat they seek Our flesh and blood to satisfy Their everlasting appetite A horde of festering mass decay Mouths filled with carrion masticating Emanating from their breath The putrid stench of rotten death Rounded up like mindless drones The lifeless army marching on A vile hivemind uncontrolled Defilers of the living world Pouring out in endless droves Spewing sewage to the troughs Consuming all within their sight They must convert us to their side Unopposed their numbers swell We resist but cannot quell Seeking shelter far above To watch apocalypse unfold How we've come to this, at last From here we finally understand The weak compelled to join their ranks Lining up with arms outstretched Hear as they come Tearing at the walls Here as they swarm To consume us all They scramble towards us to feed Spreading their disease

I solemnly swear That if you call me to stand That I'll tell the whole truth Without a doubt you'll regret So help me God! If I say something wrong I must confess! Oh the things that I've witnessed You will repent! For that blind bitch Justice Now if it pleases the court I would like to present A piece of unsuppressed evidence So let me tell you point blank Your honor I ask That you consider dismissing the charge Before this smoking gun Gets discharged again Are you not convinced? To set a precedent Fine, I got a plea to submit It was self defense! Did you think it was worth it to drag me out? Didn't you think I could tell it was rigged from the start? Pistols at dawn, à outrance Ten steps and turn, take your best shot Cross the sticks, tie me up Raise the stakes, burn me down Whip the horse, torn in four On the block, chop the board Drop the cord, stoned dead All it takes is just one shot To spill a martyr's blood All it takes is just one drop To tip the scales about All it takes is just one thought To turn a crowd into a riot All it takes is just one lie To make them sentence life Men and women of the jury Read your verdict if you must But remember at the first light It was you who called the shot So go ahead and grab your muskets Don't forget to don the mask As you guide the hand of justice Delivering vengeance out of lust While I stand here in amusement An accuser to the fools Do beware of those around you You'll be next in line soon So I shall invoke my last rights Please indulge me this request Let this be my final statement Take your aim, fire on three!

Wake up, head out Punch in, get down Working all day To rake in that minimum wage Go home, back aches Lay down, wide awake Waiting all night for the sunrise to come Start it all over again The days go on More of the same Old shit goes on Going insane Burning the flame from the wick of youth Drawing it closer to blowing the fuse Dousing the pain with liquor abuse Drowning your sorrows, nothing to lose Counting each hour that slowly rolls by Year after year in the blink of an eye Day at a time you keep telling yourself Praying someday that you'll make your way out of this hell Cash in the check just enough to go on Chasing the bills til they're gone Stack up the deck put it down on the house Waiting to lose it all Slaving away just to pay off a debt Nothing to save when you're old Starving you trade in your name for a bone While boss fills his pockets with gold Every day and it's early to rise Never to get out on time 7:00 AM to 11:05 That ain't four hours We work til the night Able and young you were glowing with hope Dreaming of making it through Now you've grown old and it's too late to turn Failure fills up your boots 30 years later the same dead end job Digging away from the soul No breaks to have til you're broken in half Cast off what's left to the hole 5 extra minutes each day on the line No chance get out on time Chained up inside til 11:05 No way to live, no way to leave Run out of luck and you're out on the streets So it begins All over again It never ends When will this end?
