Beef Skew
03:20
|

|
swimming in a sea
of hostility
swimming in a sea
of big contempt
hurling invective
wailing disillusionment
to ratchet up
the despite
trust and friendship
yesterdays naievete
like a 1440-minute hate
on each date
we anticipate
a corpse on our plate
don't you know
we always feed the snake
this conclusion
is mad confusion
and mass delusion
all we've got is
a beef skewed up place
corporate ladders
all of them are missing rungs
squirm for position
like they want you now
and this sea of beef
does it not prove to be a thief
for when you go to tumbling
who will break your fall
trust and friendship
yesterdays naievete
like a 1440-minute hate
on each date
we anticipate
a corpse on our plate
don't you know
we always feed the snake
this conclusion
is mad confusion
and mass delusion
all we've got is
a beef skewed up place
im beefed up
im beefed up
im beefed up
and skewed
i got some major beefs
and they all come back to you
im beefed up
im beefed up
im beefed up
and skewed
projecting my power
is all that I can think to do
this rising sea
not all that it seems
this rising sea
not all that it seems
we're getting cooked
take a closer look
punishment for their sins
an unfitting end
this rising sea
not all that it seems
we're cooking in a...
stew
we're getting cooked
take a closer look
it an unfufilling end
we're punished for all their sins

Valence Of Nine
04:22
|

|
we fight a war living in these times
those on our side theyre hard to find
lights on
electrons
lights low
start the flow
but when it feels like nobody cares
at the same time they're everywhere
lights on
electrons
lights low
start the flow
its just a matter of knowing how
to make connections; the here and now
lights on
electrons
lights low
start the flow
its all a matter of time
you know they rob you blind blind and blindly
and when will come the time
we need a valence of nine

Roadmap To Hooverville
02:46
|
|||
|
hoovervilles making a comeback
so what's the deal this time around?
living on credit where does it come from?
when does it come around?
and most importantly
when the fuck do I get off?
youve been assuming some bullshit about bull markets
and now you've got egg all over your face
you're dragging us all down with you
and thats the part I can't take
so what's the deal this time?
the stupid tide sinks all boats
its sink or swim but I think I'm gonna choke
do we need a better roadmap?
because we don't know how we got lost all over again
and anyway who's driving
this bucket of bolts and stupid shit?
no one knows

Mean Ends
05:04
|
|||
|
"the enemy of my enemy is my friend"
until it blows up in your face
blowback and paranoia rightly
erode your sense of home if not the place
the village had to burn so it could be saved
that's how you keep your dream alive
the point is lost on those who've borne the brunt of
adventures excused by you right-wing lies
does your noble cause hold up
is it worth the lives that you've fucked
or could it be moloch and all its flaws
hide behind the word "exceptional"
trickle-down, prism, & hiroshima
tie themselves to ends unquestionable
we see through whose interests these attend
and realize they serve only mean ends
my enemy is
the enemy of
my enemy is
the enemy of
my enemy is
the enemy of
...
my enemy is
the enemy of
my enemy is
the enemy of
my enemy is
the enemy of
my friend
public deceived by saccharin words so sweet
best intentions selectively applied
they wag the dog for generals war screams
as the white mans burden goes undenied
does your noble cause hold up
is it worth the lives that you've fucked
or could it be moloch and all its flaws
hide behind the word "exceptional"
trickle-down, prism, & hiroshima
tie themselves to ends unquestionable
we see through whose interests these attend
and realize they serve only mean ends
lion or fox
friend or foe
power and wealth
they are your goals
you'll do what it takes to gain them
to gain them
but lose your soul
what we lack the most of
is what we most desire
we're sold
your control
but you can't cloak it
no more will you be justified
for the blood you've shed
the homes on which you've tread
when the garbage and the lies no longer have friends
may the boss and his generals meet mean damn ends
they'll have no friends
