?
Land of the free and we're united
Make our destiny we take control
Never divided we got the power and we'll never be
Divided we fall (oh yeah)
Land of the free, free to conspire to control destiny
Oh yeah, you're gonna see
There's no use resisting you live in the land of the free
Free to control your life
Land of the free
Free to control your mind
Land of the free
Land of the free united nations
Of hypocrisy profit's our goal
We're incorporated it's big business and oil companies
Controlling us all
Land of the free, free to conspire to control destiny
Oh yeah, you're gonna see
There's no use resisting you live in the land of the free
Free to control your life
Land of the free
Free to control your mind
Land of the free
...I pledge Allegiance, to the flag,
of the united states of hypocrisy,
and to the republic for which it stands,
one nation of child liberty, and justice for all
Land of the free
Free to control your life
Land of the free
Free to control your mind
Land of the free
Free to control your life
Land of the free
Free to control your mind
Land of the free
...Yeah right

Hatred from your closed mind, nothing you think is gonna change,
your actions speak so loud, not gonna try a different way, we live together
We're worlds apart down on the streets because we're too proud,
no one will ever admit defeat
The world is a smoking gun that is loaded,
soon it's gonna blow you away but till now nobody has noticed
but we're goin' to have our say
Where do we draw the line, nobody seems to have a clue,
we're at each other's throats cause we don't share a point of view
so what's the problem, can't see beneath the shade of skin,
a vicious circle, a human race no one can win
The world is a smoking gun that is loaded,
soon it's gonna blow you away but till now nobody has noticed
but we're goin' to have our say
It's just a state of mind, it's not reality,
it's all psychosomatic static inhumanity,
a savage mental sickness that plagues the human race,
it's goin' to blow up in your face, the world is a smoking gun that is loaded,
soon it's gonna blow you away but till now nobody has noticed
but we're goin' to have (our say)
The world is a smoking gun that is loaded,
soon it's gonna blow you away but till now nobody has noticed
but we're goin' to have our say

| F**k Authority | |
|
Someday
You gotta find another way
You gotta right your mind and live by what you say
Today
Is just another day
Let's set your sights and try to find our way
I say fuck authority
Silent majority
Raised by the system
Now it's time to rise against them
We're sick of your treason
Sick of your lies
Fuck no, we won't listen
We're gonna open your eyes
Frustration
Domination
Feel the rage of a new generation
We're living
We're dying
We're never gonna stop
Stop trying
You know
You've got a right to take control
You gotta take offense against the status quoue
No way
We're gonna stand for it today
Fight for your rights
It's time we had our say!
I say fuck authority
Silent majority
Raised by the system
Now it's time to rage against them
We're sick of your treason
Sick of your lies
Fuck no, we won't listen
We're gonna open your eyes!
Frustration
Domination
Feel the rage of a new generation
We're living
We're dying
We're sick and tired of your endless lying
Destroy
Enjoy
Your fucking world is our brand new toy
Dominate
Eliminate
Your gonna feel the wrath
Wrath of hate
Fuck authority
Silent majority
Raised by the system
Now it's time to rise against them
We're sick of your treason
Sick of your lies
Fuck no, we won't listen
We're gonna open your eyes
Frustration
Domination
Feel the rage of a new generation
We're living
We're dying
We're never gonna stop
Stop trying(x4)

| Something Wrong With Me | |
|
I’d like to encourage you to believe the things I do
Fact is something's wrong inside of me
At times I find it hard to see what I really want to be
And that's when something snaps inside of me
I was once just like you
Born without a fucking clue
And now I live my life to be free
Live your life Jesus Christ
Trouble in paradise
Mom and dad they're not too proud of me
They’re not too proud of me
They’re not too proud of me
I’m never gonna be it's so plain to see
You are not like me
Look at what you've done to me a product of society
Confusion on your face is plain to see
I don't like your attitude think I’m lost think I’m rude
Your opinion's invalid to me
You don't like my tattoos
How does this dishonor you
Don’t you know what's inside of me
Sick and tired of all the lies
When will you realize
I’m proud just being me
They’re not too proud of me
They’re not too proud of me
I’m never gonna be it's so plain to see
You are not like me
Yeah yeah I can't believe
Hopeless indecision's got a hold of me
Yeah yeah it's plain to see
I’m a product of society
There’s something wrong with me
There’s something wrong with me
Never gonna be what you wanna be
You are not like me
They’re not too proud of me
They’re not too proud of me
I’m never gonna be it's so plain to see
You are not like me
Yeah yeah I can't believe
Hopeless indecision's got a hold of me
Yeah yeah it's plain to see
I’m a product of society
There’s something wrong with me
There’s something wrong with me
There’s something wrong with me
There’s something wrong with me

| Enemy | |
|
Well it comes as no surprise don't you realize
You cant back up deceit with more sad alibis
Cause you never are to blame driving you insane
Cause when your words are gone the damage still remains
You don't wanna believe that you're human just like me
(By blaming me you gain control) I’m not the enemy
(You want a scapegoat for your crimes) You’re just like me
I’m not the enemy
You’re just like me
It seems impossible to me a tragic comedy
That I’m the villain in your twisted fantasy
But to me its not a game driving me insane
We’re all just victims in your sinister charade
You don't wanna believe that you're human just like me
(By blaming me you gain control) I’m not the enemy
(You want a scapegoat for your crimes) You’re just like me
I’m not the enemy
You’re just like me
You don't wanna believe that you're human just like… you’re human just like me
(By blaming me you gain control) I’m not the enemy
(You want a scapegoat for your crimes) You’re just like me
I’m not the enemy
You’re just like me

| My God | |
|
People on the street they wannna find a god they'll never know,
organized religion pulls the blinds then they pull the wool,
they open up your head, they're fuckin' with your mind,
now you can't see because you're blind
You try to make amends but your heads still spinnin' round,
the church of Jesus Christ said it's time, don't fuck around,
you wanna go to heaven, you see it isn't free, give your money up to me
My god is not the one that you wanna see, your god is a mirage,
a conspiracy, you pray for forgiveness cause your sinnin',
scared to death so your money you'll be givin', yeah
(Ohoh)
Holier than thou with your one way morality,
I think your shallow faith isn't based in reality,
you don't like how were live, we're sinful and obscene,
why are you judgin' me?
You're richer than God but you're cryin' out for more,
you're livin' like a king while you steal from the poor,
wanna be forgiven, get on your knees and pray,
send in your cash and be saved
My god is not the one that you wanna see,
your god is a mirage, a conspiracy,
you pray for forgiveness cause your sinnin',
scared to death so your money you'll be givin',
yeah, better hope you've been chosen to be saved
(Ohoh)
Cause your empathy only goes so far today
Pay no mind to those in pain if you just want the souls
who are willing to pay
Their way, your god's not for me
My god is not the one that you wanna see,
your god is a mirage, a conspiracy,
you pray for forgiveness cause your sinnin',
scared to death so your money you'll be givin',
yeah, my god is not the one that you wanna see,
your god is a mirage, a conspiracy,
you pray for forgiveness cause your sinnin',
scared to death so your money you'll be givin',
yeah, stop
(Ohoh)

| Twist of Fate | |
|
Feels great when you get the runaround
Life you led was full of lies
Too late when you start to look around
All you find is wasted lives
Do you want to obliterate some things you don't understand
Since you want to succumb to fate
Watch the world slip through your hands
You get the feeling that its never gonna change
It doesn't mean a thing your life's not gonna end
It will be ok don't say goodbye my friend
Cause it doesn't mean a thing a simple twist of fate
No it doesn't mean a thing you start to get the feeling
That it's never gonna end it doesn't mean a thing
You hate when you start to think about
Things in life that could have been
Too late its not gonna turnaround
Can’t escape the mess your in
Do you wish there was a way to stop the fickle hand of fate
Or do you give in to the urge and kill the very thing you hate
You get the feeling that its never gonna change
It doesn't mean a thing your life's not gonna end
It will be ok don't say goodbye my friend
Cause it doesn't mean a thing a simple twist of fate
No it doesn't mean a thing you start to get the feeling
That it's never gonna end it doesn't mean a thing
Do you feel alive for the first time?
Do you feel alive for the first time?
Do you feel alive for the first time?
Do you feel alive? (alive?)

| Who's on Your Side | |
|
Looking ahead, not far away
someday soon but not today
things may get better,
things may get worse
depending on who gets there first
nothing in common, nothing will change,
together we'll go our separate ways,
nothing to stop us from cavin' in,
someone's gotta lose when someone wins,
look at the world you're livin' in
Someday you'll have to pick a side
For the rest of your life who's on your side?
A voice in the dark, a light in the haze,
a flame that burns then fades away,
alone in the night a ship lost at sea,
a state of emergency
with no way of knowing what's comin' next,
survival of who fits in best
looking for answers but where to begin,
we all wanna know how this one ends
look at the world you're livin' in
Someday you'll have to pick a side
For the rest of your life who's on your side?
(Look at the world you're livin' in)
Who's on your side?
(Do you know who you wrap again?)
Who's on your side?
(And your tears are justified)
Who's on your side?
This isn't make believe
A faded picture show
As we drown you're slowly lettin' go,
look at the world you're livin' in
Someday you'll have to pick a side
For the rest of your life who's on your side?
(Look at the world you're livin' in)
Who's on your side?
(Do you know who you wrap again?)
Who's on your side?
(And your tears are justified)
Who's on your side, who's on your side?

| It's Up to You | |
|
I see things happening, they fall before my eyes,
pretend I'm blind like I could never see the heartache that's not mine,
fills my head, can I just laugh away the sights that tear my soul
and make me sick, no, I could never be so cold to look away and maybe hide,
is it so wrong you wanna make a difference?
Why I'd like to think there's no excuse?
Is it a crime to want things better for yourself?
How you wanna live is up to you, it's up to you
Wish I could be like you, indifferent to it all and life's a joke,
sarcastic, cynical like everything's OK but it just won't work,
in life you have to choose to stay at home and hide or stand up and fight,
if caring's my offense I proudly stand accused so how 'bout you,
is it so wrong you wanna make a difference?
Why I'd like to think there's no excuse?
Is it a crime to want things better for yourself?
How you wanna live is up to you, it's up to you
Is it so wrong you wanna make a difference?
Why I'd like to think there's no excuse?
Is it a crime to want things better for yourself?
How you wanna live is up to you, it's up to you
It's up to you,
it's up to you,
it's up to you,
it's up to you,
it's up to you,
it's up to you

| Set Me Free | |
|
Life is a lesson you can only learn for free and time keeps on slippin'
like a faded memory
And I got the answers starin' right in front of me, time heals my soul
Set me free, set me free, set me free, set me free
I stand about, face my mission, you don't know what you've been missin'
There is a reason for all that comes to be
My troubled life riddled with dark insanities
I need solutions through the pain that surrounds me, time heals my soul
Set me free, set me free, set me free, set me free
I stand about, face my mission, you don't know what you've been missin'
Life is a lesson you can only learn for free and time keeps on slippin'
like a faded memory
And I got the answers starin' right in front of me, time heals my soul
Set me free, set me free, set me free, set me free

| Divine Intervention | |
|
You don't need divine intervention for all the things that you never can face,
you don't need good intentions cause in the end it is all just a waste,
we all need an endless vacation from all the problems the world can provide,
just need reconciliation to repair what is wrong in your live,
I can't face the day, don't wanna try, I wanna waste away till I'm lost,
save me from all the chaos, I'll radiate till I'm gone so wait,
wait, so many things that you'll never break away,
wait, wait, save your answers, there's nothing when you're gone from here
It's only another day wasted that's replayed in the back of your mind,
snapshot, you suffocated among the shadows and little white lies,
you don't need a crude benediction, a pale savior you can sacrifice,
you just need a new definition when you're feelin' alone in the night,
you can't face the day, don't wanna try, I wanna waste away till I'm lost,
save me from all the chaos, I'll radiate till I'm gone so wait, wait,
so many things that you'll never break away,
wait, wait, save your answers, there's nothing when you're gone from here
You don't need divine intervention for all the things that you never can face,
you don't need good intentions cause in the end it is all just a waste,
we all need an endless vacation from all the problems the world can provide,
just need reconciliation to repair what is wrong in your live,
to repair what is wrong in your live, I can't wait,
wait, so many things that you'll never break away,
wait, wait, so many things that you never get a say,
wait, wait, so many things that you'll never break away,
wait, wait, save your answers, there's nothing when you're gone from here
You're gone from here [x3]

I just can't understand and I don't know how anyone can
cause with every passin' day it gets worse in every way,
it's time that we make a stand, it's time that we make a stand
Sit here and wonder why how many more people gotta die
before we're gonna learn how many got to burn until we all realize,
until we all realize
See it everyday, it never goes away, never slowing,
always growing, never going away
This is the day, you'll see our way, we've had enough,
some things are gonna change, the future's bright, people unite,
better believe you're in for a fight
Behind smiles and pageantry lies a vile and sadistic history,
insidious design, deceitful and sublime, feeding on misery, feeding on misery
See it everyday, it never goes away, never slowing,
always growing, never going away
This is the day, you'll see our way, we've had enough,
some things are gonna change, the future's bright,
people unite, better believe you're in for a fight
The world's got a bad disease and I think I got a fucking remedy,
molotov cocktail, freedom will prevail, a new world society
We're not gonna be ignored, believe us this means war,
something you can trust, you shouldn't fuck with us,
not gonna take it anymore, we're not gonna take it anymore
See it everyday, it never goes away, never slowing,
always growing, never going away
This is the day, you'll see our way, we've had enough,
some things are gonna change, the future's bright,
people unite, better believe you're in for a fight,
this is the day, you'll see our way, we've had enough,
some things are gonna change, the future's bright,
people unite, look out, you're in for a fight

Down below beneath a burning hot sun
Out civility's waking up
Hate your neighbor 'cause he's not your kind
Fell out of favor, now he's out of luck
Get in your car, fuel up and get a job
You got no worries, you don't care that much
Pass the beggars as they lie out on the street
Just look away and roll your windows up
You don't have to worry
He's not one of us
Yeah
Is there anyone listening
To this beautiful tragedy
Is there anyone watching
This wonderful nightmare
Don't care much, you'd rather kill
Check out Johnny as he plays out on the street
Keeps to himself, he doesn't say too much
Can't get along with the kids in school
Likes to make bombs and blow things up
His mom and dad think everything's fine
They got no worries, they don't care that much
All that tension bottled up inside
One day soon now he's gonna erupt
