Used to Be
02:27

you want things how they used to be
it's no longer sunshine and daisies
now we're all lying
dying in the streets, out in the streets, dying in the streets
load up your guns put up the wall
you got yours now the rest of us don't even matter at all
drown your sorrows in that alcohol
empires all crumble and you're ready for a fall
we told you to be faithful and we told you to be kind
and we told you to be better but you didn't pay any mind
we told you to be tolerant and we want you to be true
now it's all coming back for you
it's all coming back for you
you want things how they used to be
even if it's a physical impossibility
watch what happens on your tv screens
an alternative reality is all you ever see

Pacifist
03:23
|

i keep a cool head
glue on smile
got my temper in check dr. jekyll style
this time i can't stay in denial
been holding back hyde for a long long while
tonight's the night
i'm going on a mission
in half an hour i'm gonna be double fisting
i'm the poster child of bad decisions
vicious in my territorial pissing
you call me a pacifist
i say what the fuck is this
you call me a pacifist
gonna pass a fist across your face
the whole night is leading up to this
boss is on my ass and my girlfriend's pissed
tonight i'm gonna go shot for shot
until i wanna throw down in the parking lot
get the bullseye you better leave in a hurry
step's unsteady and my vision's getting blurry
it's a bad idea
gonna get worse
in too far to put it into reverse

Allies
03:57
|
|||
it's a little bit dangerous
to go alone, come along with us
one by one until it's one million
you got a movement
give it direction
you got a choice when your voice is righteous
you got a cause when laws are unjust
gotta fight this virus that divides us
turn that minus back into a plus
we don't want the whole world
no we say
we just want enough to be ok
survive and rise, survive and rise
allies we will ride or die
we don't want the whole world
no we say
we just want enough to be happy
survive and rise, survive and rise
allies we will ride or die
they're gonna use you up
they're gonna let you down
they're gonna rile you up
so they can grind you into the ground
we don't want the whole world
no matter what they tell you, what they try to say
we don't want the whole world
just want a little bit more to be ok
we don't want the whole world
not what I'm trying to tell you, listen what I say
we don't want the whole world
at least not today

Tomorrow Man
04:27
|
|||
woke this morning with a bad headache
got the feeling that i made a big mistake
i know, i know who to blame
just got a taste of yesterday man's game
that's a problem for tomorrow man
went downstairs to my basement room
picked up my guitar and every string was out of tune
i know, i know who to blame
just got a taste of yesterday man's game
don't know what's happening deep inside my brain
every day i wake up, every day feels exactly the same
i know, i know who to blame
that's why i'm cursing yesterday man's name

Midwest Excess
04:25
|
|||
it started with a bottle of old tommy because i only had ten bucks on me
we would mix it with a bottle of squirt and we would drink til our insides hurt
now i've tried everything, at least a sample
it was never more than i could handle
those days were the best
it was midwest excess
i said yes to midwest excess
it used to be about the music until everything got confusing
with all the drugs and boozing i might have started to lose it
had so many friends but i lost them
they started coming around less often
they almost went forgotten til they started showing up in coffins
and i must have missed the message
in the middle of all the wreckage
when i said yes to midwest excess
i've tried everything, at least a sample
midwest excess
it was never more than i could handle
midwest excess
i still stand with a bottle in my hand i can't seem
can't seem to put down
i still stand with a bill and a gram i can't seem
can't seem to put down now
i'm here still with a fistful of pills i'm trying to choke
choke, choke it down
and i still feel like the king of the hill until they put me in the ground

Meth Mouth
03:39

Cold winter day, driving and waiting for the call
Long drive, windshield wipers clear the raindrops as they fall
Stereo broken, stuck in motion, only words I recall
The consuming illusions must happen to us all
When your own worst enemy lives inside your head you see
The whole world in grey-scale while you watch the demons crawl
The worst wound you can have is the one that doesn’t leave a bruise
Thinking about the last night’s nine o clock news
Latest mass shooting getting rave reviews
Trend in the media commonly to abuse
The power of the spotlight in order to confuse
They still play to the hands with limitless greed
While they pull us below in a time of need
Follow the cash flow, no mystery
From a bird’s eye view you can plainly see
The powers-that-be grow like a disease
Overlooking our boulevard of broken dreams
While the whole world sleeps through the echoes of the screams, just like this -
We’re staying asleep
Trapped in distractions and dopamine dreams
And through everything that should shake us awake
We keep sleeping, keep sleeping the days away
Wait, now it might be far too late
To turn around and look back on the mistakes we made
When history’s just an empty stage
Written and erased on a faded page
Every day it gets harder to separate
The blurry lines between the real and the fake
So fear can penetrate our hearts and our minds
Keeping us blind, just a second- rewind
Trying to find the source of the problem - Of course
Indoctrinated hatred
Another angry bigot with a gun
Is a cause as well as a symptom
One by one by one by one
You’ve had a lot of opportunity, so much you could achieve
You’ve got a lot of useless stories no one seems to believe
Buried liberty in a shallow grave, wrapped in a tattered flag
You’re talking heads with loaded guns - mouths overflowing with poison
One by one by one by one
Another venomous lie for 24 hours of attention
But we’re staying asleep
Trapped in distractions and dopamine dreams
And through everything that should shake us awake
We keep sleeping, keep sleeping the days away

Shoreline (Redux)
03:57
|
|||
Shadows on the surface as it rotates to a different state
Spinning crooked on a fragile axis, a pinwheel in a strong wind
Thrashing and pulling and tearing ourselves against the draw of the current
Rats on a sinking ship
Holding on with tooth and claw
Get ready to swim
The oceans are rising
Everybody got the same idea
Try to save your own skin
Get ready to swim
The oceans are rising
And your lungs are filling up but
You keep breathing it in
Repainting the landscape in blue and grey
The horizon line the same color as the end of time
Concrete eroding the streets decay
Stoplights, storefronts, exit ramp signs
So hold me close and I will say
We can watch from a safe distance
But no distance is safe
Under the force of the incoming tidal waves
Take a deep breath, kiss me goodbye, before we’re swept away
Here comes the flood

копать мою могилу
04:18
|
|||
Каждый день больше похож на Deutschland 1938
Фанатики в доме заменят главу государства
Демократический процесс слишком устарел
Просто обманывают и откладывают, пока мы не доберемся
Мы называем это страной свободы и возможностей
Так пусто и так ослаблено от того, что было раньше
Еще два поколения, и собирается сделать это три
Полностью лишен права голоса обществом
Пока ты не копаешь мою могилу
(хор)
Приходи копать мою могилу (x4)
Два три четыре
Разделение каждого выбора прямо вниз по середине
Продал мою душу давно, теперь в зеркале нет отражения
Криминализировать голоса несогласных, притворяться, что вы должны нам спасибо
Темные доллары в банке для фашистского аналитического центра
(хор)
(мост)
Добро пожаловать в новую антиутопию, Тюремное государство Америка
Говорят, что матушка-Россия кровоточит здесь, в США, Жадности
Прошло то место, где вы должны были узнать
Демократия была отложена
В пользу фашистского поворота
Подавить протест
вместе с прессой
Смотреть все золотые мосты горят
Зажечь огни партизанской ярости
Холодная война на экономической арене
Клетки для иммигрантов
Живой конец здравого смысла
Можешь ли ты все еще жить своей жизнью и притворяться?
все хорошо?
Прежде чем копать мою могилу

Handsome Randy

Oooh yeah brother, on a Monday night
He’s keeping it Raw, he’s ready to fight
Handsome Randy, Handsome Randy
Bright bandanna and a neon Stetson
He’s designed to get some, so bearded tan and manly
Handsome Randy
Not random handies
We're saying Handsome Randy
Not the Manson family
Handsome Randy
He’s a heavyweight, when he’s on the prowl
With a voice that makes the ladies howl
Handsome Randy, Handsome Randy
S A V - A G E, a flamboyant vigilante on TV
Handsome Randy, Handsome Randy
A belt of gold was his treasured prize
His demise was a heart of unusual size
Handsome Randy
You know he kept that Slim Jim Handy
Handsome Randy

4 Aspirin Morning Madison, Wisconsin
"Punk and ska do a drunken slam dance when Madison's 4 Aspirin Morning takes the stage." - Madison
Isthmus
Born at the bottom of a 40 oz and raised on an 80s and 90s record collection, The 4 Aspirin Morning (4AM) kicks open the cellar door and resurrects the underground punk/ska scene... a wave of guitars collides with a storm of horns to create a fresher, darker, more aggressive sound.
