All Day, All Week, Occupy Wall Street)
(All Day, All Week, Occupy Wall Street)
(All Day, All Week, Occupy Wall Street)
We are a nation in decline,
Easter Island paradigm.
Dropping bombs to maintain peace,
and to feed our shopping sprees.
Like Rome and Aztec Mexico,
our decline will slowly grow.
The blueprints of a better life
were stolen by the upper class.
I pledge allegiance to the Earth
and to the universe for which it stands:
"no nations under God, only liberty and justice for all"
Siren songs of government,
about money and welfare.
Someone kill this sick machine
and redeem our nation clean.
We are a nation built on lies,
strong through the corrupted ties.
We are wolves in wolves clothing,
the blind ruled by one eyed king.
Fear spread through the oppression,
police force and depression.
This machine is weaponized,
money-fed and demonized.
Siren songs of government,
about money and welfare.
Someone kill this sick machine
and redeem our nation clean.
Siren songs of government,
about money and welfare.
Someone kill this sick machine
and redeem our nation clean.

The Syringe

She was sitting down on the floor,
rolling up dollar bills.
All her welfare money were spent
on coke and cheap pills.
For a moment she has stopped
and thought about her kids,
but then she bowed and she did her line.
But every drug has its line between use and abuse,
but in her mind those lines were erased.
So when they found her dead weeks later with her veins ruptured,
she was written off as a victim of OD.
Days before she overdosed she was walking misery,
with her hopes and reasons to live blown to smithereens.
Asphyxiation was the only cure she could think of,
it beats ten fun years of living a wretched life.
But even the Death herself has a weird sense of humor,
so she surely laughed when that rope fucking broke.
With her remaining energy she reached for her syringe,
and gave herself a lethal dose of heroin.
A danger to herself, she's better off this way,
all she left behind was a syringe.

Down With The State

Governmental Titanic is sinking
Descending down into the abyss
One more wave to kill the pain, oh yeah
Hoist the flags of greed and stagnation
Down with this ship called State
Sink it with acid rain
Overboard will go the captain of this old wreck
With the first mates chained right to his leg.
A self-centered captain made a plan
So he could stay longer at his helm
The plan was to squeeze the rudder tight
And to steer from democratic shores
Down with this ship called State
Start a mutiny
Regain control, sink it down the sea of history
That's where it does belong
Woah oh
Woah oh
Woah oh
Down with this ship called State
Start a mutiny
Regain control, sink it down the sea of history
That's where it does belong
