Oh No Ego 04:15
Broken, promises get broken Words that can't be spoken Now just fall in line and count your blessings Sorry, a half arsed apology Cos a momentary glory And you're too caught up you sycophant And watch our dreams just fade away They don't have answers And they won't advance us It's the end, oh no ego Time's up, Internal breakdown We're always ket down In the end, oh no ego Golden tales that will unfold men A timely place to hold them While you just absorb in Everything that's rotten A fantasy forgotten Cos you'll never ever stop them While you're too caught up you sycophant And watch our dreams just fade away
2.
It's time we craved a little action We wanna get a little starry-eyed But your cloud of magic leaves us paralysed So let's devise another game now Cos we're not ready for an audience Of messed up kids that've all but lost the point We just wanna get a little crazy But all your friends are getting lazy So cross the Bridge for something green and hazy And we'll all go to Jazz and in a frenzy get high So you wanna taste the A-grade I bet you've got it all worked out by now But it's a crazy trip that's gonna turn you upside down So let's devise another game now Cos we're not ready for that audience Of messed up kids that've all but lost the point
3.
Feel the panic in the air Time's lost quick here Nothing's right and no-one seems to care Take me to a better place than here Broken bodies on the ground Endless heartbreak Nothing's right and no-one makes a sound Take me to a better place than here Far from here Can you feel the hope rising How can we lose with our new king Where to begin? Out of sight is out of mind A total apathy for anything you cannot see We'll find blind faith is not a game they'll play Not today
4.
Witch Hunt 04:34
Taking pops at all the pictures that we see Another blemish in a glossy magazine I find it hard to stay alive in this new life It's not easy keeping clean A call to arms to kill the hatred in their eyes A special family that won't stop telling lies We can't take this fight cos it's not right Without the media sheen Injecting your fix today Blowing the truth away Like a bullet straight To your heart Another exclusive and it all comes crashing down Who's giving you the right to choose who wears the crown I find it hard to realise in this new life That we'll never take control Of people teaching us with hatred in their eyes Of special families that won't stop telling lies I can't tell what's right to take the fight In this media stream Injecting your fix today Blowing the truth away Like a bullet straight To your heart And we can't possibly go Until some blood has spilt to show For this WITCH HUNT! How can you just sit alone and write about it Tearing into things you've never seen before Pick the pace up cos it's so much clearer now That you dictate the things that we are looking for
5.
Hiding face in numbers Harmless fun breeds vicious bastards Turn from confrontation Safety first there ain't no reasoning Who's got your back? Bring a fist down on the old guard And we pass over control To the kids that you'll catch laughing In the face of all they know Another smart-ars lawyer Buy a loophole, free a murderer Why have we all gone soft now Can't you see conspiracies or protecting your enemies Who's got your back?
6.
Fall on your sword Cos your country won't need you As long as you're bleeding inside for the fight As we all fall into their design for the right To a million dollars that'll get us away far from here So we strive and we strive They ain't coming across the water They ain't falling from the sky And we all sit back and watch as they die die die Peace and goodwill is a timely instruction to halt this destruction Until we believe that we'll climb ourselves away from here So we strive for that million dollars that brings them to call us to arms So we fight and we fight They ain't coming across the water They ain't falling from the sky And we all sit back and watch as they die They ain't coming across the water They ain't falling from the sky And we all sit back and watch as they die die die Fantasy is all we'll ever try to see Why can't we live that way Without this price to pay So little time We'll carry on like this And destroy everything So we can start again In their time
7.
Honeycomb 03:59
End game's all we seek But you drain the love from me I'll wait for your silent sign My heart won't leave you behind Until the end Where we pretend To fall in love You take all you need Leave me incomplete I wait for your silent sign My heart won't leave you behind Until the end Where we pretend To fall in love Take me, honeycomb Forget all we've known We've waited waited for something new But my heart can't forget you Cos in the end We'll depend On falling in love
8.
Investing all savings in the man with the beard in the sky Cos we’re protecting our place in paradise No it can’t be denied But I see that’s all been a bluff Cos we’ve never felt love from up above We shouldn’t be scared by the things that they tell us Cos they all live in sin Too quick to contradict Uncertainty is a plague for us all But I can’t accept that laws we set in stone back then Will prevent our downfall Cos I see that’s all been a bluff For we’ve never felt love from up above We shouldn’t be scared by the things that they tell us Cos they all live in sin Faith, who are you trying to save Too much time for hate Cos I see that’s all been a bluff Cos we’ve never felt love from up above We shouldn’t be scared by the things that they tell us Cos they all live in sin In their religion
9.
The Blame 04:39
You’re drifting in and out of consciousness I’m acting out the same routine Yet it’s not your fault when you’re not listening to me Another fix, another contract You said you had it form the start Yet it’s not your fault When the whole thing falls apart Like a child you think you’ve heard it all before But not this time cos I can’t take it anymore Ocean, I’d like to drop you out into the sea And let you bleed all the fury inside me Cos there ain’t no end to this business We’ll be taking care of all you have done Always the same and it’s time you took the blame You’re bringing pain where they should be none It’s like you want to watch us grieve But it’s not your fault and you’ll never ever leave Just one more fix, just one more contract It’s clear you faked it form the start Yet it’s not your fault As the whole thing falls apart
10.
Your reflex is your defence And that’s what makes you suffer Your reasons fall to pieces Don’t try to steal our thunder Concentrating a fragile mind on operating Brings no fear Don’t rush in with a foolish heart Play the game, Scheherazade You can live a thousand myths No one wants to disappear Your defence is your weakness And that’s what makes us stronger Don’t try to pull us under Cos everyday will get a little bit harder
11.
F.Y.I. 05:00
Tools down fight the crown No regard for what goes down Its too late, welfare state A mixed up plate of what we’re really striving for I’d like to help out but it’s such a bore And we’d rather stay in bed all morning Brain dead, empty head Can’t believe the things you said Were so wrong, it’s ok Whatever it takes for you to lay your head at night A thousand unions won't give up the fight But what are they really fighting for? We can frighten our hearts to something new They're not against you Stand tall, don't stop asking Cos we can't guess in order to be the best Press leaks, fun time freaks A wealth of knowledge at your fingertips He's your guy, FYI It's not so hard to purchase him for our side The perfect system turned to overdrive So what are we really fighting for?
