2.Cities Burn

Woah oh Woah oh
Woah oh Woah oh
I woke up sweat soaked in the morning
I was mourning freedom buried deep.
Mourning freedom buried deep.
In tickers and broadcasts
through power lines.
Freedom buried in sound bites
buried in headlines
And we sing
Woah oh Woah oh
Woah oh Woah oh
A nation in fervor has given up.
No, no, no,
this fight has just begun.
With movements and revolutions
as few and far between.
As movements
and revolutions
will ever come to be
This scare is blood soaked red - soaked red
Marked down the last words that you said
as we watched this city
Woah oh Woah oh
Watch it burn!
Woah oh Woah oh
Alright!
It's beaten in and beaten in.
We're coming back around again.
It's beaten in and beaten in.
We're coming back around again
This scare is blood soaked red - soaked red
Marked down the last words
that you said
as we watched this city
Fall and hit the ground
No one can ever replace
what we've lost now.

Fall and hit the ground
No one can ever replace
what we've lost now, yeah!
We're coming back around
Woah oh Woah oh
We're coming back around
Woah oh Woah oh
We're coming back around
Woah oh Woah oh
We're coming back around
Woah oh Woah oh
We're coming back around
Woah oh Woah oh
We're coming back around
Woah oh Woah oh
We're coming back around
Woah oh Woah oh

3.Depleted Uranium Is a War Crime

Depleted Uranium is used
on the ends of bullets
and on the ends of shells
because it is so hard (that)
almost any armament is vulnerable to something
that is tipped with Depleted Uranium.」
In the cities and towns of Afghanistan
In the heart of the Balkans
the heart of Iraq
Not your Grandfather's
style of deadly munitions
It's silent
and deadly years after the mission
Depleted uranium is a war crime
Depleted uranium is a war crime
Gonna cut through their armor
then cut through your lungs
If you make it home alive you'll
still die young
A greedy gang of liars
yeah we've seen it all before
A moneymaking scheme led
by war-profiteering whores
Depleted uranium is a war crime
Depleted uranium is a war crime
「They were throwing it away
until they figured
out they could use it for armament.」

Half Life – 4.5 Billion
Half Life – You'll waste away
Half Life – 4.5 Billion
Half Life – You'll waste away
We've heard their lies before
and we know they're lying again
Feels like a deja vu of
Agent Orange and Vietnam
Weaponry so sadistic
it is hard to comprehend
War profits surge with
every breath by Uncle Sam
Depleted uranium is a war crime
Depleted uranium is a war crime
Depleted uranium is a war crime

「We went to a hospital in Southern Iraq,
and a woman was there with
a very deformed child and
her husband had been
in the Iraqi Army and had been
in the battles in Southern Iraq and
came home and they produced
a baby with very severe
malformations…
Both the Leukemia rates in children and
malformations at birth
had increased by 600%
and it was clearly
an epidemic where all this
DU had been dumped…
It becomes a dust that can be
inhaled and infect
the blood stream and the rest
of the body
and it was the opinion of the
doctors there that this was caused
by depleted uranium…
They simply saw this as being
a direct result of the
war by United States.」
Half Life - 4.5 Billion
Half Life - We waste away
Half Life - 4.5 Billion
Half Life - We waste away
Half Life - 4.5 Billion
Half Life - We waste away
Half Life - 4.5 Billion
Half Life - We waste away
「The doctor said,
「Women (in Iraq) at the time
of birth don't ask if
it's a boy or a girl
they ask: Is it normal?' …
The military denies first
and then after the evidence
builds to the point
where they can no longer deny,
then they do the research
That's what happened in the
Vietnam era around Agent Orange
and I suspect and
I'm worried that that's
what will happen this time.」


4.Exodus

First they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out.
Then they came for the socialists
and I did not speak out.
Next they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out.
AND THEN THEY CAME FOR ME
This is autonomy
My American Dream
Stepped over on the street
Stars and stripes blinding me
Their contagious air we breath
My American Dream

No you can't stop this exodus
No you won't stop this exodus.
No you can't stop this exodus

A child Darfur refugee
Home of the free and brave
The ghosts of war who will not sleep
These truths let freedom ring
The poor who drown in bigotry
Will mark your grave
This is the second time, yeah
it's the second time
we will not fall in line,
No you can't stop this exodus
No you won't stop this exodus.
No you can't stop this exodus
No you won't stop this exodus.

The voice of the emigre
Fight forever more
The movement of the people
Fight forever more
No concession, no compromise
First they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out.
Then they came for the socialists
and I did not speak out.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out.
AND THEN THEY CAME FOR ME
No you can't stop this exodus
No you won't stop this exodus.
No you can't stop this exodus
No you won't stop this exodus.
This is the second time
we will not fall in line!


5.Hymn For The Dead

Sing a hymn for the dead
Because in death as in life
we are one in the same
Sing a hymn for the world
To avert ugenic arrends
GO!!
The sun sets, the light fades
Blood red, on an empty street
Its not night, Its not day
Its no more, for an unfortunate soul who
Witnesses like violently a race
From the horror of the human race
Bright futures exchanged for profit
living half a life
Sing a hymn for the dead
Because in death as in life
we are one in the same
Sing a hymn for the world
To avert ugenic arrends
GO!!
Your life now, they respects
to your blood
Those in the vast of the grave
Unknown, unite there
Your hearts one
in moments you'll never forget
YA!
History lessons direct from the grave
Lost souls of the lost divide
Liberate your generation
Living, running flesh
Sing a hymn for the dead
Because in death as in life
we are one in the same
Sing a hymn for the world
To avert ugenic arrends
COMMIT TERANY!!!
Its probably not the second line
of furious flames
COMMIT TO THE GRAVE!!!

SOUND OFF
Be the voice of a generation
DECEND
You've got a choice to make
SOUND OFF
Be the voice of a generation
DECEND
You've got a choice to make
STRIP AWAY
Be the voice of a generation
STRIP AWAY
You've got a choice to make
CUT AWAY, Cut away,
STRIP AWAY, Strip away,
CUT AWAY, Strip away your chains
Sing a hymn for the dead
Because in death as in life
we are one in the same
Sing a hymn for the world
To avert ugenic arrends
Sing a hymn for the dead
Because in death as in life
we are one in the same
Sing a hymn for the world
To avert ugenic arrends

7.The Press Corpse

The (Downing Street) memo says...
...We gotta work to make the facts fit
the false charges
Pull the wool over the eyes of
the filthy masses
Stab the people in the back for
the corporate choice
Roll the propaganda out using
The People's Voice
We don't want to talk about it...
The press scribble scribble
every half-truth spoke
Then shoot it round the country
like an April Fools joke
Hype the nation
for a Desert Storm love affair
Wave the stars and stripes
like you just don't care!
They talk it up all day
talk it up all night
Talk until their face turns
blue - Red white and blue!
But when the truth escapes
the night and crawls into the day
We find the picture still askew
They don't want to...
talk talk talk talk talk about it
They want tiptoe, walk around it
Wave the flag and mindlessly salute
wowo
They don't want to talk about it
They want tiptoe, walk around it
Wave the flag and cowardly salute
hoho
And on the TV screen...
...Diversion and aversion
is the flavor of the day
Was it WMDs? Or Democracy?
Blame it on MI-6 or the CIA
The White House Press Corpse
only has one thing to say...
'We don't want to talk about it!'
The White House boils over
'Al Jazeera got it wrong!'
The Press Corpse jumps onboard singing
the White House song
While over in Iraq thousands
are dead because of lies
The spineless war
drumming-press corpse have taken lives
They talk it up all day
talk it up all night
Talk until their face turns
blue - Red white and blue!
But when the truth escapes
the night and crawls into the day
We find the picture still askew
They don't want to...
talk talk talk talk talk about it
They want tiptoe, walk around it
Wave the flag and mindlessly salute
wowo
They don't want to talk about it
They want tiptoe, walk around it
Wave the flag and cowardly salute
hoho
Fires fueled on endless lies
Black shrouds coat desert skies
A nation's viewpoint blurred and led
As embeds report what they're fed
We don't want to talk about it
We don't want to talk about it
We don't want to talk about it
We don't want to talk about it
We don't want to talk about it
We don't want to talk about it
We don't want to talk about it
the night and crawls into the day
They don't want to...
talk talk talk talk talk about it
They want tiptoe, walk around it
Wave the flag and mindlessly salute
wowo
They don't want to talk about it
They want tiptoe, walk around it
Wave the flag and cowardly salute
hoho


8.The Project for a New American Century

It's a gut check of what you believe
A Global Pax Americana
Neo-con, neo-fascist blue print -
USA hegemony
Charlatan war hawks, untried, untrue
Celebrate and exploit tragedy
To steal away control
And it's a gut check of
what you believe
Will you stand up for democracy?
or a New American Century?
Endless...
Endless violence, endless hatred
Endless empire tyranny
Will you make a stand
for human dignity?
Or never ending hate?
It's a think tank, psycho and crazed
War profiteering membership -
a world catastrophe
They've got a war plan
that counts on you
to kill for their corporate empire
while they sit at home
And it's a gut check of what you believe
Will you stand up for democracy?
or a New American Century?
Endless...
Endless violence, endless hatred
Endless empire tyranny
Will you make a stand for human dignity?
Are you going to...Fight Back!
Time to prove what you really believe
We gotta FIGHT BACK!
Until we win it all
We gotta FIGHT BACK!
Will you heed the call?
The Neo-Fascist race to war
The PNAC plan to rule the world
It's a gut check of what you believe
Will you stand up for democracy?
or a New American Century?
Are you going to...
And it's a gut check of what you believe
Will you stand up for democracy?
or a New American Century?
Endless...
Endless violence, endless hatred
Endless empire tyranny
Will you make a stand for human dignity?
Will you? Or never ending hate?


9.War Sucks, Let's Party!

The Anarchists are positive
like bees around a hive
Yes, protesters sit in the streets
with signs signs signs
The slept of the world
Have filled us to the brim
But some must have cast that balance
Based on those who live in sin.
It's unbelievable
It's unbelievable to watch the system crumble

This political shakedown
coming correct from the underground
This political shakedown
coming correct from the underground
We've been cut up
We've been shut up
For far too long.
Pull the feeding tube
out of the mouth of democracy
Tell 'em we're starving to death
What's buried in the ground
We can all breathe free
We can all breathe free

It's unbelievable
It's unbelievable to watch the system crumble
This political shakedown
coming correct from the underground
This political shakedown
coming correct from the underground
We've been cut up
We've been shut up
For far too long.
yeah
It's unbelievable (whoooa whooooa)
It's unbelievable (whoooa whooooa)
Policeman
Takes his gun to her head
It's unbelievable (whoooa whooooa)
Just like he's beating the drum
It's unbelievable (whoooa whooooa)
And those reporters dance like hell
..To the sounds.

Policeman

11.The W.T.O. Kills Farmers

I Did My Best
To Make it in the world
I plowed by sweat in tears
into the fertile generation,
generation, generator
We'll always be waiting for supply
to meet demand
Sun shone bright on the ancient reigns
and the promise of the future
telling me to live for pain
The people's voice shut up
shutdown, insane
Is it gonna take it longer
to end the charades
Let me tell you that your outta luck
While people fall
and watch their profits rocket up
S.O.S. this a global call
You better make a stand,
you better make it now
Take back your rights from the IMF?
S.O.S. this a global call
You better make a stand,
you better make it now
Corporatocracy leads to profits for killers,
profits are killers...No
Geneva, Washington, Cancun and Sole
The corporate world state
will run out of control
The corporate grunts have got the guns
But their numbers are few
They can kill democracy
But they cannot kill the truth
So!
Step out on the metrics
of the corporate slave
So!
Step into the world of the living wage
Not for 1 or for 2 or for 3 of 4
But for every single citizen
around the fucking world
The people in the fight of our lives
Will spark a revolution
in the pharmaceutical side
S.O.S. this a global call
You better make a stand,
you better make it now
Take back your rights from the IMF?
S.O.S. this a global call
You better make a stand,
you better make it now
?????... profits are killers profits are killers
profits are killers
When they wage war on you
You lay asleep
When they poison your food
You choose to drink
There's poison in the world
YEAH! STAND UP! PRETEND!
pretend your killers...?
YEAH! STAND UP! PRETEND!
pretend your killers...?
YEAH! STAND UP! PRETEND!
pretend your killers...?
YEAH! STAND UP! PRETEND!
YEAH! STAND UP! PRETEND!
YEAH! STAND UP! PRETEND!
oh no


12.State Funeral

This is the sound of
a dropping bomb
After years of this are
we still all content?
With being pawns
in war game chess
Shuffled by King George
and his English Queen
On a board of autocracy
Fundamentalist citing stories and fables
Of whose god is more righteously skilled
In whose gods' honor
we are all killed...
A dead ringer for Armageddon
we are all killed...
A dead ringer for Armageddon
we are all killed...
A dead ringer for Armageddon
we are all killed...
This State Funeral
we do not mourn
And still the wicked sleep
And dream of endless
years of tyranny
Passed on by incestuous means
Skull and Bone, Freemason reigns
A dead ringer for Armageddon
we are all killed...
A dead ringer for Armageddon
we are all killed...
A dead ringer for Armageddon
we are all killed...
This State Funeral
we do not mourn
Destroy all adversary
free yourself
Erase the common enemy
free yourself
Extinguishing the quarry
free yourself
Through the smoke screen
we seek out justice...


13.I'd Tell You But...

Your invasion was so cold
Your righteous explanations lies

You're killing all my family
To eliminate the common enemy
If this is what your freedom reeks
Then this ones for the united states
I'd tell you all these things

I'm dead, I'm dead
my life is left no more
I'm dead, I'm dead
your bullets cut into my flesh
Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh
I'd love to be back home and train
I left my friends my family
I love the sand, I love the sea
the water splashing over me
now I will haunt you in your dreams
never another restless sleep
I'll fall in love right by your side
and I'm your victim of death
for your pride
united we are nowhere near
because, because
I'm dead, I'm dead
my life is left no more
I'm dead, I'm dead
your bullets cut into my flesh
Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh
Because of bullshit media something
