Shameless Generation
02:30
|

|
[Verse 1]
When we were young you know nothing really mattered
We learned from nothing, but we liked it that way
And from the start we all had our own disasters
When things flew off we decided to stay and
[Chorus 1]
I was born in a shameless generation
And I'm ashamed to say that I took part
I took part in a shameless generation
And now I'm, and now I'm stuck here
[Verse 2]
And comin' up we had nowhere to turn to
They turned it up until our minds were numb
We did what we did just so we could pull through
But in the end it's hard not to be dumb and
[Chorus 2]
I was born in a shameless generation
And I'm ashamed to say that I took part
I took part in a shameless generation
And now I'm, and now I'm stuck here
[Bridge]
And you know I don't belong here
I don't belong to this town
I got to find my way out
I got to clear my head
I got to clear my name
[Verse 3]
And comin' up you know we had nowhere to turn to
They turned it up until our minds were numb
We did what we did just so we could pull through
But in the end it's hard not to be dumb and
[Chorus 3]
I was born in a shameless generation
And I'm ashamed to say that I took part
I took part in a shameless generation
And now I'm, and now I'm stuck here
In a shameless generation
And I'm ashamed to say that I took part
I took part in a shameless generation
And now I'm, and now I'm stuck here
Oh now I'm stuck here
Yeah now I'm stuck here

Take the Hit
02:48
|
|||
|
[Verse 1]
Everybody seems to have an answer, but no real solutions
Looking only through assumptions, filtering through excuses
A scapegoat, a way out, a big shift of the blame, but your negativity's to blame
That's just not for me, it's crazy you see, those ways are just insane, insane
Everybody seems to have a symptom, but seek no real remedy
Searching for an instant and simple way to obtain immortality
With bad diets, bad habits, only listening to our screens, can you even really say we're free
'Cause it looks like to me the immediate need is focused only on me, me , me
[Chorus 1]
So take the hit, live up to it, stop hiding behind excuses
Do what you want and if you talk, just walk and start living more truly
[Verse 2]
'Cause nobody seems to raise any questions, when its crucial and you're not supposed to
This isn't any kind of judgement, just diving deep head on with the issue
These cowards, these thieves, they have no more need to hide or wait for your back
Now it's all in our face so it's time to refrain against the grain and don't look back, don't look back
[Chorus 2]
Take the hit, live up to it, stop hiding behind excuses
Do what you want and if you talk, just walk and start living more truly
Take the hit, live up to it, stop hiding behind excuses
Do what you want and if you talk, just walk and start living more truly
[Chorus 3]
Take the hit, live up to it, stop hiding behind excuses
Do what you want and if you talk, just walk and start living more truly
Take the hit, live up to it, stop hiding behind excuses
Do what you want and if you talk, just walk and start living more truly
Take the hit, live up to it, stop hiding behind excuses
Do what you want and if you talk, just walk and start living more truly

Fake Smile
02:48
|

|
[Verse 1]
You walk around sayin' I'm worth a lot
It brings me down, it, it supersedes me
And no need to spread the repetition
No need to spread all of my disease
[Chorus 1]
And you do, all the while
And you do, you fake a smile
Yeah and you do, all the while
And you do, you fake a smile
[Verse 2]
I own so much, but as you know
I've always been a little out of touch
No need to deny it, no, you just keep pullin', pullin'
Pleasantries out of the sky
[Chorus 2]
And you do, all the while
And you do, you fake a smile
Yeah and you do, all the while
And you do, you fake a smile
[Chorus 3]
Yeah and you do, all the while
And you do, you fake a smile
Yeah and you do, all the while
And you do, you fake a smile
Yeah and I do, all the while
And I do, I fake a smile

Acid Washed Soldier

|
[Verse 1]
And I'm the acid washed soldier
And I don't know what I'm shooting at
Their ways are getting older
But they still think they know this from that and
[Chorus 1]
Why do all people try
To disguise the truth from a, from a lie and
I, I would never, never try
To decide the truth from a, from a lie and
[Verse 2]
And I'm the acid washed soldier
And I can't tell my left from my right
They said they 'd send me over
And I been ready for a fight boy
[Chorus 2]
Why do all people try
To disguise the truth from a, from a lie and
I, I would never, never try
To decide the truth from a, from a lie and
[Verse 3]
And I'm the acid washed soldier
And I don't know what I'm shooting at
Their ways are getting older
But they still think they know this from that and
[Chorus 3]
Why do all people try
To disguise the truth from a, from a lie and
I, I would never, never try
To decide the truth from a, from a lie and

Scene It All
03:56
|
|||
|
[Verse 1]
Well I've seen every scene that I've ever laid eyes on
And I've heard every song that has ever been sung
It's just that at the time it felt so good in my eyes
That I did not let the scene sink in
Now I've got a lover wrapped tight around my arm
In the blink of an eye, what's happened, now you're gone
It's just that at the time it felt so good on the outside
That we did not let the love sink in
[Chorus 1]
Looking back at all our faults and past chances
Goodbye regret 'cause it's all why our lives don't lack
Build it up, it's made us what we've become
You know honest men don't settle on shaky ground
[Verse 2]
Well I've worked every job that has ever been slaved
And I've spent every dollar that I've ever earned and made
It's just that at the time, I felt so rich in my mind
That I forgot what it's like to be deprived
Now I've ate and drank well at every meal I've been fed
And I miss all those faces now that they have all left
It's just that at the time we felt so sure in our minds
That we would see all those faces again
[Chorus 2]
Looking back at all our faults and past chances
Goodbye regret 'cause it's all why our lives don't lack
Build it up, it's made us what we've become
You know honest men don't settle on shaky ground
[Chorus 3]
Looking back at all our faults and past chances
Goodbye regret 'cause it's all why our lives don't lack
Build it up, it's made us what we've become
You know honest men don't settle while we're
Looking back at all our faults and past chances
Goodbye regret 'cause it's all why our lives don't lack
Build it up, it's made us what we've become
You know honest men don't settle on shaky ground

No I Won't Go Home
03:28
|
|||
|
[Verse 1]
The people everywhere have got me worried
With that eerie glaze across their face
And the vibe that they give off is just frightening
Yeah the more I see, the evermore I'm scared
Yeah the more I see, the evermore I'm scared
[Verse 2]
'Cause more and more they all seem entitled
No second thoughts, only selfish acts
What happened to understanding
Yeah and seeing others for just who they are
Don't ever stop being who you are
And so
[Chorus 1]
No I won't go home
Because this is my home
No I won't go home
Because this is my home
[Verse 3]
They claim pride, heritage and freedom
Yeah nothing's worse than chosen ignorance
Your cretin ideals have no room to breathe
Yeah we wanna see raised fists, not fallen tears
Yeah we wanna see raised fists not fallen tears
[Verse 4]
'Cause we feed off of love that's all inclusive
But I can smell the genocide on your breath
Why can't you own up to the simple fact
That you're an immigrant just like the rest
Your ancestors were refugees like all of ours
And so
[Chorus 2]
No I won't go home
Because this is my home
No I won't go home
Because this is my home
No I won't go home
Because this is my home
No I won't go home
Because this is my home
[Chorus 3]
No I won't go home
Because this is our home
No I won't go home
Because this is our home
[Dub]
Yeah the more I see, the evermore I'm scared
Yeah the more I see, the evermore I'm scared
Yeah the more I see, the evermore I'm scared
Yeah the more I see, the evermore I'm scared
Yeah the more I see, the evermore I'm scared
The more I see, the evermore I'm scared

[Chorus 1]
Chop chop guillotine
Chop chop guillotine
Chop chop guillotine
Chop chop guillotine
Chop chop chop chop
[Verse 1]
Modern day Robin Hoods, steal from the rich and give to the poor
But can you steal what's stolen from your and all that's rightfully yours
So where's my Little Johns and Friar Tucks (what what what what)
And all of my Maid Marians (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Yeah we need to pick them locks (okay)
We need to pick them locks
[Chorus 2]
Chop chop guillotine
Chop chop guillotine
Chop chop guillotine
Chop chop guillotine
Chop chop chop chop
[Verse 2]
Unlike the stories, there are more of us than there are of them
And nobody reps us, but us, no rep, no dem or their merry little men
From bows and arrows to bombs and blades, when pens to paper just don't translate
'Cause it's time to take a page from the French, because we're going straight for their necks
I said because we're going straight for their necks
[Chorus 3]
Chop chop guillotine
Chop chop guillotine
Chop chop guillotine
Chop chop guillotine
Chop chop chop chop
[Chorus 4]
Chop chop guillotine
Chop chop guillotine
Chop chop guillotine
Chop chop guillotine
Chop chop chop chop chop chop

Writing on the Wall
04:10
|
|||
|
[Verse 1]
Yeah you can speak your mind, you can even speak mine too
And they will be alike if you can speak the truth
There is a rising sun that hangs above our heads
And we are the wicked chosen and we never get no rest
[Chorus 1]
But I've been waiting for the writing
Yeah I've been waiting for the writing
Yeah I've been waiting for the writing
On the wall, on the wall
[Bridge 1]
And if the Hindus are right, we have another life
I just hope that it's not another rerun
Cuz I've seen enough strife to have to live another life
Oh god, has this all just begun
[Verse 2]
And I've been rollin' down by mobsters while I'm tripping down your street
And I am tucked beneath the comfort of my glass sheet
There is a rising sun that hangs above our heads
And we are the wicked chosen and we, we never get no rest
[Chorus 2]
But I've been waiting for the writing
And I've been waiting for the writing
Yeah I've been waiting for the writing
On the wall, on the wall
[Bridge 2]
Do you remember how it was when we did just what we want
We'd turn the temples of the lord into funhouse
But that was long ago and I have got little to show
Just this rising sun and all these empty glasses
[Chorus 3]
And they got me waiting for the writing
And I've been waiting for the writing
And I've been waiting for the writing
On the wall, yeah on the wall
