Automatons at the train station, fuck the system, we're victims of indoctrination
Taught to be nothing at all, made to feel lame and small,
Ready to fall, aimless goals, FUCK THIS, I'm not gonna take it anymore,
I'm a fearless warrior here to chop shit, masked anarchist
There's so much waste generated from this rat race, we act with haste, quick thinkers, relentless
Perpetuating this cycle through lifestyle, it's endless
Fuck these consumerist whores, I rob stores, most people wouldn't steal a pen lid, pussies
The level of my indignation is beyond the depths of your imagination, don't push me
Many obstacles we're facin', people dying for no good reason, would you commit treason?
Wake up, the nation doesn't give a fuck abut us, stop sleeping, time to strip off the rust, stop appeasing
Our evolving conciousness seems to be repeating, media force feeding us lies, bullshit we're eating
Try info before you buy, question authority, be critical, cynical, ask why, stop competing
You worry about your lack of status, making money matters
Don't tell me about your first world problems, 'cause I've fucking had it
Everything you've got's been handed to you on a silver platter
They don't need to burn books, nobody reads them anyway,
They'd rather play with their smart phones, it's the modern way
Next level bullshit, everything simplified
We stand in the corner petrified, we could be taking flight
Our apathy and inaction keeps the contracts alive and moving, Halliburton reconstructing and producing
New buildings upon rubble, roads paved in oil, radioactive soil
History will keeps repeating, crimes against humanity with Uncle Sam at the helm, extuingishing light - a dark realm
War is good for the economy, there's blood in the well
Stop whinging about your lifes monotomy kid, cheer up, go buy the products they sell
You've had a taste of happiness, times up, recoil, back to the shell,
You worry about your lack of status, making money matters
Don't tell me about your first world problems, 'cause I've fucking had it
Everything you've got's been handed to you on a silver platter
Existence can be challenging for you and for me and all the people in between
Resistance is not an option, it's a necessity if we want to be free
The people have had enough, pitch battles on the street, its us versus police
The way we treat each other defies belief, the cruelty of the planet, the lunacy, the seeds of greed
Most couldn't give a fuck about the plight, lack of passion, pussies, action reaction, collateral damage
We're all slaves to the latest fashions, full of hatred and apathy, not compassion, donate to charity dammit
Bad habits, too-fatted livers in a state of cirrhosis
Lost our minds, we stand in the cold half-naked, like a meth junkie in the grips of psychosis
Dead inside, we've lost sight of the bigger picture, forgotten our planet has a future,
We
murder one another in the name of freedom, patriotic fools with
semi-automatics
Super troopers, harbingers of death, super computers
We are a canerous growth, we've grown fat
Farming life, draining other species, we're parasites
Latched onto hosts, pests, ecoterrorists
We'll take from this planet until there's nothing left
Top of the food chain, it's a jungle we're living in
Horns are cut off live Rhinos for a placebo medicine
Tigers penis chopped off to give the dysfunctional erections
Sharks get fins torn off with knifes then left to bleed in the ocean 'til they surface, they don't survive
Float up at the end of their lives, they've served their purpose They're served on tables, blood on ladel
Shark
fin soup, many restaurants serve this food, ask the waiter about this
They got a bowl for you, a traditional delicacy, cheap cheap too
Culture of killers, morality tossed, collapsed roof, no pillars Tigers tooth on a chain, oil poured on chimp brain
Chicken in a small cage, cows strung up, crying as they rotate Carnivorous appetite, we've got a sharp blade

THE DEADLY RHYTHM
Used up and abused, arse glued to the seat, playing with a mouse, clicking, clicking, time's ticking
Deadly rhythm, nothing inside, slave to the system, tentacles spreading far and wide
Work hard all day, a source of pride, easier to obey than ask questions, don't step out of line
Total devotion, honour in loyalty, soon you'll get a promotion, start earning big money
Every day repeats, enter, greet all the people you hate, ready to concede defeat, then get in line and wait
Go home to your abode, furnished by Ikea, TV dinner all alone, switch off your mind, repress the fear
Back to the cubicle, greeted by post-it notes and family pictures, hope hanging by a rope, the whip will fix ya
You give them you're time for a fee, think you're valued, but you're disposable just like a latex glove
Another cog in an assembly line as long the the dole queue, they don't need you, soon you'll be sleeping rough
A hard slog in the middle, putting up with a suck-hole weasel, but you're not feeble, no, you've finally had enough
Swinging it to the deadly rhythm of the production line
Singing happy songs as you wait on tool instruction time
Dancing up a storm as you count that swear jar full of dimes
You're going nowhere fast at all but you simply don't mind
Because you're swinging it to the deadly rhythm of the production line
Yes, you're swinging it to the deadly rhythm of the production line
All the spectacles we be perceiving, dancing in a conga-line to the lies we be receiving, convicts start pleading
All the obstacles they be creating, alienation comes in many forms, check out the new sensations
Consumption is where it's at, do your bit for the economy, have another hit, be a good citizen
So many pairs to choose from, how will you decide which shoes to buy? make the transaction, feel good inside
The more you spend, the greater the rewards, you'll be in the running for the 'consumer of the year' award
Work, consume, repeat, spend, resume, pause, another shopping feat, spend up big, it's for a good cause
Wake up to Koshy, he's the expert, what's happening to all the money? What's the state of the financial market?
This is the good life, there's never a dull moment, your share prices on the rise, check out the dividends
Back to Ikea, ready to spend, on the look out for new ideas, that accessory is nice, show it to all your friends
Worked hard for your money, content to follow trends, free to spend it on anything you please, it was worth it in the end
Swinging it to the deadly rhythm of the production line
Singing happy songs as you wait on tool instruction time
Dancing up a storm as you count that swear jar full of dimes
You're going nowhere fast at all but you simply don't mind
Because you're swinging it to the deadly rhythm of the production line
Yes, you're swinging it to the deadly rhythm of the production line
You think you're free to sell your body in exchange for security, an iPhone and a brand new giant plasma screen TV
But the Party and the company don't give a fuck about you, you're just another tool, following their rules
They are your enemy and they deal in the business of exploitation and slavery, you're not free, can't you see?
Weighed down by shackles and chains, just like your days at school, playing little games, compete with every other fool
You spin hours into nothing, ticking off all the KPIs, promotion is not forthcoming, you start to wonder why
You've devoted years to the cause, but you've been overlooked again, where's your reward? why even bother, why try?
Each workplace, it's the same, sycophants get all the breaks, they play the game right, do whatever it takes
Always on the attack, they don't care how many toes they have to tread on, they go places by stabbing their foes in the back
You never had what it takes to get ahead, not callous enough, all your hopes now dead, you're so jealous
Your boss expects you to suck his phallus, just like a harlot, you succumb again, as you edge closer to madness
Swinging it to the deadly rhythm of the production line
Singing happy songs as you wait on tool instruction time
Dancing up a storm as you count that swear jar full of dimes
You're going nowhere fast at all but you simply don't mind
Because you're swinging it to the deadly rhythm of the production line
Yes, you're swinging it to the deadly rhythm of the production line

CASHED UP BOGAN
I'm the king of the road, four wheel drive with a tow bar, check out my new car, gonna go far
All the seeds I've sown are starting to grow, got a job in the mines, salt on my chips all the time
I'm doing just fine, like a mature bottle of wine, my life's sublime, no need to commit crime
I've walked the straight line, all the way to the bank, it's Gina I gotta thank for making me rich
I spend all my money at once, forget about the rainy day, it's not just a phase, I've really got it made
I love to spread honey on my toast, I'm not one to boast or to gloat, but check out my new boat
I'll always stay afloat with my remote in one hand, picking all the porn channels on my Foxtel subcription
Sports mania on the weekends, but I just can't concentrate, so I elevate my mind with dexies I've got on presciption
You may think I'm just another bogan but I'm no fool, I've got my foot in the share market, wheeling and dealing
You may think that I'm jokin' but I know what I'm doin', I've set my target and it starts at millions
I've got shoulder blades as large as a massive piece of rump steak
When the boys invade the pitch, we do it like we've got it made
We'll all be getting laid, we're rich you see, check out the personalised license plates
On my new big boy's toy, my souped up V8 ute, to carry all the loot
Reward for all my efforts, some people just don't get it, but I do
Yes, I get plenty of pussy, welcome to my night time playground of glory
This must go on forever, the well never dries up like abandoned doggie poo
I'm the king of the road, if you get on my wrong side, you'll be sorry
Look over the fence and see my neigbour's pool, I shall get one too some day, just gotta keep being a tool
Soon I'll be the fattest cat on the block, with golden statues behind the locks, the neighbours will be jealous
I'll be rolling in a Benz and strutting around with a pimp cane adorned with gold chains and expensive jewels
Yes, I'm stuck in the rat race, but I don't mind, a golden clock shall tell me the time, I could care less
But I'll still hang on to my ute, it impresses the chicks, it's hard and robust just like my monster dick
I'm a refined man, a player, I like to wear Tommy Hilfiger and dabble with moisturiser, gotta keep myself lookin' sexy
I'll learn to play the flute or maybe the violin, so I can come across as cultured, no just another typical bloke
But wait a minute, classical music is for poofs, and there's no cure for it, best stick to driving my boat
On the weekends I will live it up, drinking champagne and eating caviar, no wait again, that's for poofs
In the end, I'm just another blokey bloke, I don't like vegetables, only meat, won't see me at the next doof
I've got shoulder blades as large as a massive piece of rump steak
When the boys invade the pitch, we do it like we've got it made
We'll all be getting laid, we're rich you see, check out the personalised license plates
On my new big boy's toy, my souped up V8 ute, to carry all the loot
Reward for all my efforts, some people just don't get it, but I do
Yes, I get plenty of pussy, welcome to my night time playground of glory
This must go on forever, the well never dries up like abandoned doggie poo
I'm the king of the road, if you get on my wrong side, you'll be sorry
Being me is not easy, it's difficult to be this sexy, all those hours spent pumping iron with steroids in my system
Need to look good for hitting the clubs you see, I like to get down and boogie, even though when I dance I've go no rhythm
I'm sure to get laid, just gotta remember all my pick up lines, who could resist my charm and this hot body,
I'm rolling in cash, wanna check out my stash? They'll be throwing themselves at me, who wouldn't want a man as sexy as me
When i get my trophy wife in the bag, my picture perfect barbie doll, I'll be the envy of all my friends, they'll be so dirty
Not just some ugly scrag, but a hot looking model, we'll make plenty of raunchy love, I'll stick it to all my enemies
The future is looking good, I've done everything I should, the world is my oyster and it's only gonna get better
I've got my mind on track, there's no going back, I'm a animal on the attack, getting rich is all that matters
It's been a difficult journey, I've walked for miles and miles, all the perks haven't come cheaply, hard work and sweat aplenty,
When I finally make it, I will celebrate in style, hold an extravagent party, rub shoulders with high society
I've got shoulder blades as large as a massive piece of rump steak
When the boys invade the pitch, we do it like we've got it made
We'll all be getting laid, we're rich you see, check out the personalised license plates
On my new big boy's toy, my souped up V8 ute, to carry all the loot

CCTV
I'm always on the go, star in my own show, a black and white classic
I'm here to be seen, someone's watching the screen, my life is special like magic
They watch my every move like I was a suspicious youth, see me, I'm a movie star
I'm ready to get loose like a rotten tooth, yes, I'm gonna go far like a rally car
I don't care about privacy or civil liberties, just as long as I'm on the TV
Caught on surveillance, CCTV, they'll always see me, yes, I'm free indeed
It's not a police state, free to do as I please, as long as I don't step out of line
It's hard to get away with anything these days, just like a hooker from STDs, no future in crime
So it's better to conform and perform, do it for all my fans, walk in a straight line
Follow all the rules and norms, don't jay walk, be a good citizen, let them control my mind
From the streets to the suburbs,
From the sub to the tweet,
From my dreams to my lover
They'll be watching me,
Eyes glued to the screen,
My endeavours fatigue.
Better not smoke in the city, or piss on the street, don't wanna risk being fined
An object of pity, the hobo who begs for money, hungry all of the time, not my problem
Creature of the night, the passive consumer type, got products on my mind, such seduction
Blinded by neon lights, tits and arse in my line of sight, I don't mind waiting in line
I love boxing day sales, stampede in the shopping mall, who cares if someone gets hurt?
Got many a tale to share about bargains I fought hard for, savings that I deserve
Go home with shopping bags in hand, happy as a spoilt child, I've got it made, the stickers never fade
I'm such a satisfied man, been running for a mile, coming first in the rat race
I know that I've done well, the evidence speaks for itself, check out the smile on my face
I'm dirt wealthy, can't you tell? Gold ornaments of the shelf, please remind me just in case
From the streets to the suburbs,
From the sub to the tweet,
From my dreams to my lover
They'll be watching me,
Eyes glued to the screen,
My endeavours fatigue.
When I walk the mean streets, nothing is of concern to me, as long as I have money I'm free to do as I please
Let me tell you all about my amazing shopping feats, the time I got a perfume sample for free, made me feel so sexy
The shopping mall is my stomping ground, the place where happiness is to be found, no need to frown
I'm so high this time around, like an ant at the top of the mound, there's no coming down, man about town
Everything that can be bought, I've purchased before in all the up-market stores, no stopping this trooper
And I'll keep going back for more, I admit it, I'm a consumer whore, my reputation is super-duper
I pose for all the security cameras, with all my goodies in hand, I wonder who is watching me pay at the counter?
They know that I'm a superstar, ordinary people just don't understand the pressure that I'm constantly under
Paparrazi waiting at the front door of the store, ready to take another snap of me, I don't mind the least bit
It takes much effort to be me, but I'm hungry for more, just like a junkie for the substance in his fit
So much pressure to perform, I keep the show rolling, hunting for the newest fashions with plastic cards in hand
It's the reason why I was born, I just can't stop shopping, it's my greatest passion, do it for my fans
From the streets to the suburbs,
From the sub to the tweet,
From my dreams to my lover
They'll be watching me,
Eyes glued to the screen,
My endeavours fatigue.

Spineless cowards just like John Howard, took him away from us
Blood on your hands, you don't understand what he meant to us
He was so happy, so gentle, a silly old thing, he didn't ask for much
You knew it was vicious and dangerous, didn't learn your lesson, lucky I didn't kick up a fuss
The ranger knocked on your door, but you just hid away, no back bone
If you want war, then you've got war, hope you sleep well when you're alone
I'm not spiteful, but he got quite a fright, then he left us forever
Gave us an insight into your lack of humanity, though he was old
He had many years left, now we're bereft, your reaction was so cold
I'm struggling to come to terms with it, finding it hard to be bold
Grow a spine you neglectful fuck, it's about fucking time
What if it were a member of your family? Would you cry like we cried?
You didn't even say sorry, just hid in the house like a coward
You said he'd be alright, after you pulled your mongrel away,
Now he's gone forever, never to return, you really fucked up my day
Next time I see you, rest assured I'll have something to say
How could you hide away when you knew full well he had died?
How could you stay hidden away after all the tears we had cried
You let him out again even though you knew it would happen again
Monster on the other side of the fence, your actions you can't defend
And you hide away because you've lost face, are you that afraid
How about how he felt during the attack, you'd better watch your back
Grow a spine you neglectful fuck, it's about fucking time
What if it were a member of your family? Would you cry like we cried?
He meant the world to me, the best friend a man could wish for, now he's no more
You've done it before, will you hide away when the ranger comes knocking on your door
I bet you'll do it again, refuse to take responsibility just like the last time
I can't do anything but vent with this pen, express my rage in rhyme
It could have been a child, anyone moron could have seen it coming
You don't have the balls to face up to it, so you keep on running
The tragedy is your lack of humanity, didn't even say you were sorry
Fucking bogan scum, thought you were ok but now you've got yourself an enemy
And no amount of words will change a thing, but how about an apology
That would be nice, some consolation, don't ask for more, just a show of humanity
Grow a spine you neglectful fuck, it's about fucking time
What if it were a member of your family? Would you cry like we cried?

SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS
You can't stop underground hip hop, it's the sound of resistance
Just like punk rock, hear the sound of rebellion, fuck this existence
Counter-cultures so hard-hitting that they can't be ignored, we'll settle the score
Human failure is consuming all and sundry, we're all whores, I'm feeling so bored
It's not OK to think that everything's alright, darkness in the light
Got something to say? then say it out loud, be proud, creatures of the night
Sometimes we got to pray to our own gods, the gods inside ourselves
If you don't change your ways, accept your lot, bow down, then you really need help
It's a hard life, I've been through trials and tribulations, it's only made me stronger
Always in strife, I've walked for miles, testing my patience, won't play victim any longer
The school of hard knocks will knock us down like a demolition
But through hip hop we can find our voice, we're on a mission
The sound of punk rock giving us a choice, we've got a vision
The sound of the underground keeping us sane
You can't stop underground hip hop, it's the sound of resistance
Just like punk rock, hear the sound of rebellion, fuck this existence
Counter-cultures so hard-hitting that they can't be ignored, we'll settle the score
Human failure is consuming all and sundry, we're all whores, I'm feeling so bored
It's not my way to ignore our planet's plight, here to do what's right
Got something to spray, then vandalise walls, stand tall, yes, take up the fight
Some days we don't want to get out of bed, but that's alright, it's life
If you don't seize the day, create masterpieces, then I'll hand you the knife
Its a cruel world, I've seen things you just can't imagine, it's only made me bitter
A string of pearls, no, diamond rings are not my passion, transcend worldly desire
The school of hard knocks will knock us down like a demolition
But through hip hop we can find our voice, we're on a mission
The sound of punk rock giving us a choice, we've got a vision
The sound of the underground keeping us sane
You can't stop underground hip hop, it's the sound of resistance
Just like punk rock, hear the sound of rebellion, fuck this existence
Counter-cultures so hard-hitting that they can't be ignored, we'll settle the score
Human failure is consuming all and sundry, we're all whores, I'm feeling so bored
The end of days, apocalypse approaching, fat cat's deceiving
Heads down in dismay, very little hope, tight rope, shit we're receiving
Some day we've got to change our sorry ways, yes, start today
If you don't take the bait, refuse to hate, don't wait, then the world we can save
There's always hope, may the sad truth be the catalyst, take steps to make things better
Yes, we can cope, stop the abuse of mother nature, slave chains for us to sever
The school of hard knocks will knock us down like a demolition
But through hip hop we can find our voice, we're on a mission
The sound of punk rock giving us a choice, we've got a vision
The sound of the underground keeping us sane
DROP THE BOMB
I've got flows on the go, my bars are deadly, they can't stop this
I'm a man in the know, topics are heavy, challenging views
Here to open minds, it's not so easy, ignorant bliss
Spread truth over time, know your enemy, they oppress you
Their corporate crimes, the rich are greedy, top of the list
Address issues through rhyme, plight of the needy, raise both my fists
The folks in between, falling through the cracks, nobody cares
My words are obscene, gangster rap is whack, nothing to say
All bling and bitches, no doubt about that, most unaware
Drowning in riches, spread disease like rats, no work, all play
Drop the bomb, the bomb of truth
Righting wrongs, let's raise the roof
Sing my song, reach out to youth
Something's wrong, do you need proof?
Militant like soldiers, my words acerbic, jaded dissident
Our race is a failure, our lives so tragic, it's quite evident
Our hearts closed like prisons, lack of compassion for boat people
We swallow their poison, hands tied, inaction, condone evil
Believe lies we're sold, rampant apathy, plastic people
God's rules to uphold, worship deity, holy steeple
Comfortable lifestyles breed complacency, fools in their place
Running a mile, on the man's treadmill, stuck in the rat race
Time to revile our society, a bitter taste
Revere Fred Nile, abandon free will, condemn with haste
Drop the bomb, the bomb of truth
Righting wrongs, let's raise the roof
Sing my song, reach out to youth
Something's wrong, do you need proof?
Running full throttle, I enjoy my life, can't control me
Hitting the bottle, find yourself in strife, you'll be sorry
Socially sanctioned, soma for the flock, not a druggie
Action, reaction, nothing really shocks, yes, we are free
Run, hide from the truth, too hard to accept, so scared we flee
Brainwashing our youth, teaching false concepts, too blind to see
Critical thinking, a thing of the past, accept defeat
The ship is sinking, hole in the mast, karma we reap
So out of touch, cohort of fools, mere tools indeed
Fight them through art, ignore their rules, find your own peace
Drop the bomb, the bomb of truth
Righting wrongs, let's raise the roof
Sing my song, reach out to youth
Something's wrong, do you need proof?
ONE TERM PM
Darwin award, obnoxious like an angry alcoholic, policies so toxic
Receiving rewards, so obvious, his ideas so archaic, believing in magic
Prancing around in budgies smugglers, spandex, embarrassing the nation
Man about town, entertaining Gina, erect, Murdoch loving relations
Coal mine at Abbot(t) Point, dredging the coral reef, all with Tony's blessing
Destruction makes them coin, greed that defies belief, aiding and abetting
Screw over the poor, tax breaks for the rich, there's gold among the coal
We're all worthless whores, bought off, perfect fit, money making's the goal
Jump aboard the coal train, get rich working in the mines, buy yourself a new ute
Slaving in their names, obey, consume, all of the time, you'd look good in a suit
His name is Tony, and he's the one and only budgie smuggling phony
He does not represent the people, instead he rubs shooulders with the evil
Sucking the cock of Rupert Murdoch, sniffing the farts of Gina Rinehart
He makes being a fool quite an art, sold us all out from the very start
Of his one and only term in office, when it's comes to screwing the poor, he's over zealous
Of course, he did his best to further the interests of his pay masters
A bunch of super rich bastards, who are only out to shaft us and get fat doing it
Modern day witch hunters, sneering at dissidents, burning them while pursuing it
A corporate agenda, full tilt fender bender, destroying all and sunder
But always with the belly of the economy in mind, an out of our minds sign of the times
Sucking US cock, turn us into narcs, refugees locked up indefinitely
Crawled out from a rock, his walks around almost stark naked, believes in God genuinely
Thinks he's passed the test, sycophant with iron will, life of plenty
What a fucking mess, his diplomacy skills, pissed off many
Tarred our name, our nation a laughing stock, the guy needs help
Rich cunts gain, my patience is running out, strike the death knell
Common sense: his enemy, earth is six thousand years old, it's flat as well
Climate change: a fallacy, help Gina dig up the coal, destroy earth like Shell Oil
Voted in by stupid fools, his rise was by no accident, take us to hell
Increased funds for private schools, God in the curriculum, ring the lunch bell
His name is Tony, and he's the one and only budgie smuggling phony
He does not represent the people, instead he rubs shooulders with the evil
Sucking the cock of Rupert Murdoch, sniffing the farts of Gina Rinehart
He makes being a fool quite an art, sold us all out from the very start
Of his one and only term in office, when it's comes to screwing the poor, he's over zealous
Of course, he did his best to further the interests of his pay masters
A bunch of super rich bastards, who are only out to shaft us and get fat doing it
Modern day witch hunters, sneering at dissidents, burning them while pursuing it
A corporate agenda, full tilt fender bender, destroying all and sunder
But always with the belly of the economy in mind, an out of our minds sign of the times
Man of the people, rich cretins at least, not so popular these days
Heart filled with evil, belly of the beast, never change his sorry ways
Turning back the boats, the people chose real change, no way, not in my name
Putting on a show, the fucker is deranged, doesn't feel our pain
Sowing seeds of greed, fuck the environment, drown in the acid rain
Paid parental leave for the rich, minister for women, treats it like a game
Holes in the budget, the poor fucked over, old folks under attack
Protection racket, the rich get richer, scratch each other's backs
We must condemn his clinging to the past, off the beaten track
One term PM, people have had enough, give the cunt the sack
His name is Tony, and he's the one and only budgie smuggling phony
He does not represent the people, instead he rubs shooulders with the evil
Sucking the cock of Rupert Murdoch, sniffing the farts of Gina Rinehart
He makes being a fool quite an art, sold us all out from the very start
Of his one and only term in office, when it's comes to screwing the poor, he's over zealous
Of course, he did his best to further the interests of his pay masters
A bunch of super rich bastards, who are only out to shaft us and get fat doing it
Modern day witch hunters, sneering at dissidents, burning them while pursuing it
A corporate agenda, full tilt fender bender, destroying all and sunder
But always with the belly of the economy in mind, an out of our minds sign of the times

CLIMATE CHANGE DENIALISM
I need to escape from the fast pace, coming down like Sid Vicious
No time to waste, going to a new place, down town, the bleeding obvious
Enraged but engaged, a new taste, this time round, it's delicious
Don't act in haste, put on a new face, smiling clown, I'm delirious
Caught in the rat race, truth erased, spinning around, it's the human condition
Stop just in case, spray the mace, pound for pound, I've got a new vision
Opening eyes, the meek shall rise, take up the fight, no more religion
Exposing lies, the ones I despise, do what's right, turn off the television
Don't you dare cry, time to decide, set your sights, what you missin'?
Way up high, pie in the sky, scaling heights, spectacular nuclear fission
Somewhere over the rainbow is a place where wise people go
Spectacular show of solidarity in the face of the cold and ugly
Do you have ears for me to borrow as the word play begins to flow?
Peculiar glow in the summer snow, time to make some goals, then party
They've got me under control, stuck in the system, wired on pharmaceuticals
So scared of growing old, don't play the victim, are my problems medical?
Anger's taken hold, dealt the wrong cards, torn apart, this cat is cynical
Gotta be bold, no holds barred, shooting star, a storm so electrical
Future coming fast, forget the past, nothing ever lasts, the way the cookie crumbles
Not into fast cars, just dropping bars, going far, here to incite and rumble
I'm not from Mars, from Venus instead, books to be read, too many parties
Those superstars, fucked in the head, rumours we're fed, paparazzi
I'm not biting, we're so obsessed, magazines we've read, empty like the dead sea
Still left here fighting, raising the dead, offensive like Tet, rebel like Ned Kelly
Somewhere over the rainbow is a place where wise people go
Spectacular show of solidarity in the face of the cold and ugly
Do you have ears for me to borrow as the word play begins to flow?
Peculiar glow in the summer snow, time to make some goals, then party
So sick of society, there's no variety, little wonder I'm jaded like a war vet
I know my enemies, they're stuck in entropy, hopes faded like an abused pet
Not wasting energy, doing the things they want me to do, just can't pretend
So much apathy, it's wearing thin, their bogus world view, just can't defend
Crass consumer creed, diamond rings, large collection of shoes, hungry until the end
Drowning in poverty, wounded wings, searching for something new, things will change when?
Do we have the means to end world hunger, feed the poor? Damn straight we do
We must transcend greed, stop getting fatter, search for more, seek out the truth
Participate in the alternatives, paint a new picture, don't waste your youth
Eliminate the fat cats' directives, how to make things better? the answer is you
Somewhere over the rainbow is a place where wise people go
Spectacular show of solidarity in the face of the cold and ugly
Do you have ears for me to borrow as the word play begins to flow?
Peculiar glow in the summer snow, time to make some goals, then party

SOUND OF FREEDOM
I'm militant like Karl Marx, standing stark naked at the edge of the universe
Hangman's noose, burning down the roof, I drop bombs with words
Corrupter of youth, here's the awful truth, forget what you heard
Indignant muse, disgusted with the greed of the few, drowning in turds
Fanning the fans of the fire, hitman for hire, free like a bird
Hanging from a wire, bullet aimed for the sire, don't piss off this nerd
Fuck the messiah, I'm a funeral pyre, ready to clean up the dirt
Here to teach lessons, with my ancestor's blessings, plenty of work
The folly of desire, selling us flat tyres, does the truth hurt?
Caught in the netting, deserve what they're getting, selfish jerks
Do you hear the sound of freedom? Whose children are we feeding'?
Everyone matters, we need em', Why do we keep competing?
The world is knee deep in muck, most people don't give a flying fuck
Vulnerable like a lame duck, bang for your buck, apathy sucks
Down on my luck, pain in my gut, as large as a monster truck
Target has been struck, broke out of my rut, fire truth darts
I'm here to change minds, heal broken hearts, I'm on a mission
Just a waste of time? Attack though art, I've got a vision
Creator of rhymes, unpleasant like farts, pissing on religion
Solid as a dime, pulling my own cart, smashing up televisions
Got to to think for ourselves, ignore the bullshit they be dishin'
Books on the shelf, intellectual wealth, make that decision
Do you hear the sound of freedom? Whose children are we feeding'?
Everyone matters, we need em', Why do we keep competing?
They've tied my wrists, just can't cope with all these rules for fools
In the mist, I find hope, tools for survival, valuable like jewels
We cling to the past, preserve the status quo, it's getting quite boring
Institutional dogma, welcome to the candy show, I just can't stop snoring
So sick of the man, who tells us what to do, this lion is roaring
Don't you understand? we're knee deep in poo, stop ignoring
Each day is the same, people getting maimed by bombs and shrapnel
No longer insane, dance in the rain, bite from the forbidden apple
You just might find truth, something to live for, join the battle
Desist, resist, refuse, don't support their wars, the death rattle
Do you hear the sound of freedom? Whose children are we feeding'?
Everyone matters, we need em', Why do we keep competing?

ANOTHER SPANNER IN THE WORKS
We're all living in a fantasy, pushing stones up hills for our enemies, such a waste of energy
How can I get you to see that your life is empty even though you have plenty, it's time to break free
From the ideas that you were taught in school, your compliance helps them to rule
Over your every action that you take, they don't have to control you, because you control yourself
Your mind is there for the taking, your body up for rent, your sweat and toil creates wealth
For the greedy to play with, while we neglect the needy, leave them to fend for themselves
You spin hours into nothing, just keep on consuming, it's little wonder mental health
Problems are on the rise, depression, alienation, it's all written into the mainframe of the system
Society doesn't give a fuck about us, brainwashed from the start, we are all it's victims
But we're not gonna take it anymore, we're gonna stop being whores, it's time to get even
Throw another spanner in the works, this current state of affairs is oh so fucking absurd
We've got a circus freak show to disturb, politicians mincing turds with their dishonest words
Take another leap of faith, we can change our sorry ways, put our collective power on display
For all the slimy pricks to see, have them feeling slightly queasy and extremely uneasy
Throw another spanner in the works, diversity of tactics and party tricks, whatever works
We've got an entire parliament to bring to their knees, yes we'll storm in and do as we damn well please
We keep such obnoxious company, playing with our phones, adorning our yuppie homes
With more gadgets than one could ever need, the obsession we continue to feed, sewing more seeds
Of greed, as we fail to heed the words of Jesus, all his teachings simply leave us
We spectate warring factions pretending to have different policies, but really in bed with the same enemy
As we invest so much energy into maintaining our apathy over which party we ought to vote for
All politicians are the same, so generalise the lumpeproletariat: lying, cheating, scamming bores
I, for one, would tend to agree, they do not represent you and me, but support sponsors of the party
Those fat cats who scratch each other's backs, getting the mighty Strayan economy back on track
Politicians on both sides rubber stamping corporate crimes, watching their buddies gladly step out on line
And we wonder why we are so cynical and far from being hysterical come election time
Throw another spanner in the works, this current state of affairs is oh so fucking absurd
We've got a circus freak show to disturb, politicians mincing turds with their dishonest words
Take another leap of faith, we can change our sorry ways, put our collective power on display
For all the slimy pricks to see, have them feeling slightly queasy and extremely uneasy
Throw another spanner in the works, diversity of tactics and party tricks, whatever works
We've got an entire parliament to bring to their knees, yes we'll storm in and do as we damn well please
We devote all our time and energy to trivial pursuits, such as watching sports on the big screen TV
Almost to the point of religious fervour and gaiety, football offers up plenty for all worshippers to see
Mere distractions from the bigger picture: our collective failure to have our voices heard by power
So we bow down as if it were the sound we like to hear when in fact our bitterness is well renowned
We are the malcontents, no longer willing to take shit, oh yes, we are so discontent, it's not funny
If only we were to unite, we could make scaredy cats out of our enemies and have them running
The power we could possess would be simply stunning, too much for words to be able to express
As we put people power to its litmus test, make the bastards confess and be accountable to the rest
It could be the beginning of something quite beautiful, much better than feeling helpless and pitiful
More than merely helpless animals, unable to decide our own fates, finally theres's spice in the crucible
Throw another spanner in the works, this current state of affairs is oh so fucking absurd
We've got a circus freak show to disturb, politicians mincing turds with their dishonest words

So we call this progress, these lives of excess, but there's no recess
Technology may have made life easier, that's why we're all getting fatter
As we sit by indolently, that fast food is so cheap is the tragedy
A whole population ravaged by diabetes, because access is so easy
We sit by idly as the natives die out, nobody cares, it's time to cry foul
A life expectancy on par with the third world, but we don't care because we are unaware
When they fight each other, intoxicated on the alcohol we gave them, people stop and stare
It's easier to objectify the other than to see them as our sisters and brothers
And if you tell me we are not a racist nation, then you are a fucking liar
Meanwhile the processing of information has become faster but have we become any smarter

THE CAPTAIN MUST DIE
I'm so sick of these self-indulgent yuppies with their i-pads, following fads
They're so pathetic just like their mums and dads, it's really quite sad
And there's no fucking doubt about that, their apathy makes me really mad
Quite willingly, they support the exorbitant lifestyles of the greedy and the bad
And all the senseless wars they be waging on those without a mainstream voice
The war of Iraq, the war on drugs, the war on refugees, struggling to be free
We don't have to accept things as they are, we've always got a choice
The less we consume, the less power the fat cats have over us, can't you see?
It's time we recognised our real enemies, the ones who control you and me
The whole system is corrupt and falling to pieces, let's take back what we need
Time to smash up the system, rebellion to a revolutionary rhythm
When we have our coups d'état, heads will roll, yes, we will beat them
We will carry out a mutiny, we are sick and tired of the captain
All capitalists must die, none of our enemies shall be survivin'
Our inaction makes it easy for them to walk all over us and fuck us over
The world guzzles oil as if it were water, let's all fill up our V8 motors
We may as well because we're already on a collision course with destruction
We do everything they tell us to do, it's easier to simply follow instructions
Having a social conscience is going out of fashion, we may as well accept defeat
We're all dog meat of the bones of ashes, yes, humanity is becoming obsolete
Just like analogue devices, soon we will be confined to the dustbin of history
Unless we turn turn things around and wage war against our real enemies
They be selling us shoes from their sweatshop factories, which cost an exorbitant fee
It's a sign of things that will come to be, the world revolves around sweat and money
Time to smash up the system, rebellion to a revolutionary rhythm
When we have our coups d'état, heads will roll, yes, we will beat them
We will carry out a mutiny, we are sick and tired of the captain
All capitalists must die, none of our enemies shall be survivin'
There are so many lost souls in this sick sad world in which we all live
But they're capable of so much more, they've got so much more to give
They've been brainwashed from the start, had their brains put through a sieve
We've all been raped by the system since we we young, it's very hard to forgive
Fuck capitalism, it serves only the rich and the powerful, not the rest of us
But we're not going to take it any more, we're going to kick us a big fucking fuss
So many contradictions, it won't be long until the whole system goes bust
There's hope for humanity yet, if we scratch underneath the surface of the rust
We've got to question society, question all we've been taught, it's a must
Fuck all those institutions of oppression, it's time to rise up and clean off the dust
Time to smash up the system, rebellion to a revolutionary rhythm
When we have our coups d'état, heads will roll, yes, we will beat them
We will carry out a mutiny, we are sick and tired of the captain
All capitalists must die, none of our enemies shall be survivin'

Gina the Hut
spare me from oblivion
a lifetime full of false promises
manifests into the homicidal tendencies
we do well to repress
give me a fucking gun
and I would take Gina out
such a gluttonous piece of shit
who deserves to rot among her money
her coal burning incessantly
producing toxic emissions
what price does she put on coal?
she doesn't care about future generations
somebody please give me a gun
violence solves everything
but satire is as futile
as an alcoholic trying to have
only a drink or two
my indignation is beyond
the limits of your imagination
please pass me the syringe or the bong
I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired
living in this world makes me sick
MONKEY ON THE BACK
I've got an addictive personality, self control is a fallacy
It seems I'm my own worst enemy, I think I'm about to go crazy
If I already wasn't from the start, maybe I'm just too smart
For this world, have too much of a heart, as I fire darts
Into the mainframe of the system, yes, I hate the authorities
I'm still searching for wisdom, still fighting against gravity
The rebel inside of me will not bow down, I won't accept defeat
The devil rules the earth, metaphorically speaking, there's no retreat
From the greed of the fat cats, who may as well wear a top hat
They control our lives, keep us running in circles like rats
There's a monkey on my back who keeps me doing that
He's on the prowl, ready to attack: an axe in the fucking back
There's a monkey on my back who's hiding in my flat
He's sitting on my lap, about to snap and we wouldn't want that
I've been walking down the winding path of self-destruction
I'm headed for a twisted destination, I can't find any satisfaction
If only I wasn't plagued by inaction, a refusal to change my sorry ways
I'm can't seem to find any traction, sick of wasting away the days
Tomorrow is a new beginning, I must keep on reminding myself of this
I must not follow the monkey into temptation, it's only a false bliss
Fuck the system and fuck these self-indulgent vices, time to break free
There is wisdom in a life of excess, it builds resilience inside of me
I must stop living out a fantasy, stop believing there are no consequences
Time to knock down walls with a bulldozer, to tear down some fences
There's a monkey on my back who keeps me doing that
He's on the prowl, ready to attack: an axe in the fucking back
There's a monkey on my back who's hiding in my flat
He's sitting on my lap, about to snap and we wouldn't want that
There is still hope for me yet, if only I could escape the monkey's grip
I'm beholden like a pet to its master, feels like I've been caught in a rip
I may as well go back to prison, there is no escaping from this nightmare
This is the darkest of seasons, sometimes it feels like I'm going nowhere
But there is always a silver lining after the rain, I must keep the faith
Life is full of pain and sorrow, but there's always tomorrow, I won't sit by and wait
Time to be proactive, escape from sleepy hollow, remove the gaffa tape
Go to the library, there are books to borrowed and a debt to be paid
Nobody escapes this world unscathed, it's a sick sad world full of violence
No wonder I'm so jaded and do the things I do, I refuse to remain silent
There's a monkey on my back who keeps me doing that
He's on the prowl, ready to attack: an axe in the fucking back
There's a monkey on my back who's hiding in my flat
He's sitting on my lap, about to snap and we wouldn't want that
It seems I'm my own worst enemy, I think I'm about to go crazy
If I already wasn't from the start, maybe I'm just too smart
For this world, have too much of a heart, as I fire darts
Into the mainframe of the system, yes, I hate the authorities
I'm still searching for wisdom, still fighting against gravity
The rebel inside of me will not bow down, I won't accept defeat
The devil rules the earth, metaphorically speaking, there's no retreat
From the greed of the fat cats, who may as well wear a top hat
They control our lives, keep us running in circles like rats
There's a monkey on my back who keeps me doing that
He's on the prowl, ready to attack: an axe in the fucking back
There's a monkey on my back who's hiding in my flat
He's sitting on my lap, about to snap and we wouldn't want that
I've been walking down the winding path of self-destruction
I'm headed for a twisted destination, I can't find any satisfaction
If only I wasn't plagued by inaction, a refusal to change my sorry ways
I'm can't seem to find any traction, sick of wasting away the days
Tomorrow is a new beginning, I must keep on reminding myself of this
I must not follow the monkey into temptation, it's only a false bliss
Fuck the system and fuck these self-indulgent vices, time to break free
There is wisdom in a life of excess, it builds resilience inside of me
I must stop living out a fantasy, stop believing there are no consequences
Time to knock down walls with a bulldozer, to tear down some fences
There's a monkey on my back who keeps me doing that
He's on the prowl, ready to attack: an axe in the fucking back
There's a monkey on my back who's hiding in my flat
He's sitting on my lap, about to snap and we wouldn't want that
There is still hope for me yet, if only I could escape the monkey's grip
I'm beholden like a pet to its master, feels like I've been caught in a rip
I may as well go back to prison, there is no escaping from this nightmare
This is the darkest of seasons, sometimes it feels like I'm going nowhere
But there is always a silver lining after the rain, I must keep the faith
Life is full of pain and sorrow, but there's always tomorrow, I won't sit by and wait
Time to be proactive, escape from sleepy hollow, remove the gaffa tape
Go to the library, there are books to borrowed and a debt to be paid
Nobody escapes this world unscathed, it's a sick sad world full of violence
No wonder I'm so jaded and do the things I do, I refuse to remain silent
There's a monkey on my back who keeps me doing that
He's on the prowl, ready to attack: an axe in the fucking back
There's a monkey on my back who's hiding in my flat
He's sitting on my lap, about to snap and we wouldn't want that
NORMAL PEOPLE
What do normal people do? I wish to hell that I knew
All the chemicals I ingest to excess, I need to give it a rest
The new year is the test, I will try my very best
To resist and desist, all the reality I've missed
Conviction comes from within, but I don't know where to begin
I been playing a game of roulette that nobody can win
Each day is the same, I've got a trunk full of shame
The road is headed for a desolate destination
If I persist in walking in this dangerous direction
It's a simple matter of mathematics and deduction
They say nice guys finish last, it's been the story of my past
It's little wonder I've head down this path of self destruction
Another blast from the past, I can't find any satisfaction
These sensations never last, it's a matter empirical reduction
Where do normal people go, I've got nothing to show
For all of my efforts, my life is like a desert - barren
I can't decide what to do with myself, too many books upon the shelf
So many lies fed to us by the fascist authorities
It's little wonder I try to escape, to preserve my sanity
I'd like to take some politician's out, that's my fantasy
You simply can't comprehend the indignation inside of me
I'll admit it, I'm an addict, give me anything and I'll take it
This self-abuse defies all logic, when I'm stoned I don't fake it
There's are dead bodies in my attic, when will I finally make it?
They say nice guys finish last, it's been the story of my past
It's little wonder I've head down this path of self destruction
Another blast from the past, I can't find any satisfaction
These sensations never last, it's a matter empirical reduction
Do normal people feel at all, or have they put up high walls
Too busy hanging out in shopping malls, they don't care about truth any more
The horrific violence on the screen is met with ambivalence and moral silence
All they care about is to be seen wearing the latest fashions, their reliance...
On superficiality is insufferable for me and makes me bitter and angry
Why can't they see that they are all characters in a silent movie
Called CCTV every time they go into the city, they will never be free
They are unaware of their real enemies, believe them to be you and me
Without the faculty of critical thinking, they succumb to the logic of competition
As they keep on consuming what they don't need and looking for new sensations
They say nice guys finish last, it's been the story of my past
It's little wonder I've head down this path of self destruction
Another blast from the past, I can't find any satisfaction
These sensations never last, it's a matter empirical reduction

FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS/SILVER PLATTER
Fuck the corrupt system, automatons at the train station, we're all victims of indoctrination
Taught to be nothing at all, made to feel lame and small, unaware of social relations
But we're not gonna take it anymore, time to put on our thinking hats, stop being bats
Yes, we're better than that, fearless warriors to be exact, and that's a fact
There's so much waste, relentless rat race, we drop bombs and dump so much food
We're all consumerist whores, thinking about their fucked up wars puts me in a foul mood
The level of my indignation is beyond the depths of your imagination
Many obstacles we're facin', people dying for no good reason, let's all commit treason
Because the nation doesn't give a fuck abut us, time to strip off the rust
We wake up to Koshy every morning, buy all the products they advertise, while children die
We need to open our eyes, see through their lies, start to ask ourselves why
Don't tell me about your first world problems, I've just about had it
The military-industrial complex, perpetual war for the sake of profit
You worry about your lack of status, making money is all that matters
Wait until you get stabbed in the back and all your dreams are shattered
Everything we know is up for sale, we're all prostitutes, can't you see?
Fuck the powers that be, that control you and me, it's time to break free
They don't need to ban books, nobody reads them anyway, they'd rather play
With their smart phones, watch rubbish on television, it's the modern way
Everything simplified and sanitised, must decide which four wheel drive to buy
We stand in the corner petrified, when we could be taking flight, the end is nigh
Our apathy and inaction keeps the contracts alive and moving, Halliburton reconstructing
New buildings upon rubble, the road paved in oil, the aftermath of mass bombing
History keeps repeating with Uncle Sam at the helm, crimes against humanity
War is good for the economy, there's blood in the well, the pinnacle of anarchy
Next time you feel like whinging, spare a thought for the innocents blown to smithereens
By the bombs of Obama and other war pig cretins, squeaky clean like Mr Sheen
Don't tell me about your first world problems, I've just about had it
The military-industrial complex, perpetual war for the sake of profit
You worry about your lack of status, making money is all that matters
Wait until you get stabbed in the back and all your dreams are shattered
Everything we know is up for sale, we're all prostitutes, can't you see?
Fuck the powers that be, that control you and me, it's time to break free
Existence can be challenging for you and for me and all the people in between
Resistance is not an option, it's a necessity if we want to be free, can't you see?
The people have had enough, pitch battles on the street, it's us versus the police
The way we treat each other defies belief, the cruelty, the seeds of greed
Nobody gives a fuck about the plight of the planet, lack of passion, action reaction
We're but slaves to the latest fashions, full of hatred and apathy, not compassion
Let's desecrate that which is scared, our too-fatted livers in a state of cirrhosis
Lost our minds, we stand in the cold half-naked like a meth junkie in the grips of psychosis
Dead inside, we've lost sight of the bigger picture, forget all about the planet's future
It's raining outside as we murder one another in the name of freedom, our species is a failure
Don't tell me about your first world problems, I've just about had it
The military-industrial complex, perpetual war for the sake of profit
You worry about your lack of status, making money is all that matters
Wait until you get stabbed in the back and all your dreams are shattered
Everything we know is up for sale, we're all prostitutes, can't you see?
Fuck the powers that be, that control you and me, it's time to break free

we're all cogs in an enormous machine, there's a lot of dust to clean
this goes out to people in the margins, and the people in between
the military industrial complex, war is good for the economy
a light behind the rainbow reflects, the complicity of you and me
I was born into a poor family, money means very little to me
it's just a means to and end, there's no need to pretend
they we are actually civilised beings, rampant greed is the enemy
this world is run by men with expensive pens, mountains of money to defend
we're all blind to the privilege, unaware of the disease, memes of greed
forget about need, this is what we want, we're all here to sow the seeds

SANDWICH BOARD FULL OF DEGRESS
I’m the king of the heap, I never sleep, I’m better than all consorts
I have ten degrees, a genius with depth of thought, never been caught...
Cheating with study aids, I get all the best grades, I’m an individual
Better than the educated average, I’m not like others, I’m special
They gave me the wrong marks, I should have got the full total
It was a binary error, not my fault, those academics are evil
They’ve got a vendetta against me, I’m an English gentleman like V
Despite my pleas, they wouldn't listen to me, why can't they see
How brilliant I beeth, don't make me seethe, wait a minute - I'm always calm
What individuals like about me is that I always leave a mark like strawberry lip balm
I'm afraid of a stampede of obese gals, raping me with brass dildos
I'm the epitome of sheer sex appeal, my name is Lex, and I get all the hos
I don't date fat chicks anymore, they hurt me the most, I'm such a bore
They don't know what I have in store, I'll key your car with this crab's claw
I'm not a hooligan, that's right, there's no need to fight, I'm a classy man
I'm going places, I've got refined social graces, I've got a master plan
I'm the right man for the job, they won't tell me "no", I'm a man on the go
Just gotta go with the flow, follow my brilliant mind, and I shall be CEO
I've been to uni for ever, that's why I'm so clever, I know all there is to know
I've done what it took, check out my e-book, it's quite the altruistic show
The sheer reality of human folly is really silly just like my hypocrisy
I'm a compassionate entity, an altruist of a non-pure variety
In moments of passionate fever, I get paranormal visions of Shiva
I'm a proponent of pseudo science, I don't believe in logic either
It proves the existence of a higher power, that's why I get sectioned
I'm a liberal Presbeterian, God will let me bring my narc diary to heaven
I record everthing for posterity, like the time I got my scooter smashed
I don't like to drink heavily, my main goal in life is to make lots of cash
So I can buy myself some blonde bisexual bitches with huge knockers
My CV is fifty pages long, that's why pontential employers think I'm bonkers
I can't get myself a root, so I play 'Gay Bar' on loop, I wanna talk to you
I used to be a go-go dancer, yes it's true, I'm ashamed to be a Jew
I'm here to settle a score, I refuse to dance professionally any more
I'd like to pick up some barbie whores, my e-book is rudimentary and raw
I like to use the word "nigger", my ego couldn't get much bigger
I'm a loser, I couldn't get any thicker, each year I get even sicker
I should really hide, I haven't gotten far even though I really tried
Yes, I'm so hard done by, I've been abandoned by the man beyond the sky
I have no shame at all, no internal filter, Shakespeare on my bookshelf
I really need help, but I never listen to others, always take the piss out of myself
I have ten degrees, a genius with depth of thought, never been caught...

MORNING IN GAZA
Despite Abbott's lies, Gaza is occupied, by the relentless Zionists
Who bring in bulldozers, houses pushed over, for 'harbouring terrorists'
The West only see the terror of desperate suicide bombers
As the Palestinians suffer and mourn for their murdered family members
Never a fair fight, advantage to one side, a case of rocks versus tanks
Each day, it's more of the same, children get maimed or killed, paid for by the yanks
Uncle Sam spends more in military aid to the war-mongering Zionist regime
Than the rest of the world combined, don't tell me that's not fucking crazy
World leaders sit by and twiddle thumbs as more Palestinians die
The public are too apathetic, brain washed and self-absorbed to question why
The constant humiliation, Palestinians treated like second class citizens
In their own land, there's no freedom, civilians supposedly killed by accident
Each and every day, children wake up to gunfire and explosions
Death - a common occurrence, there's no righteous cause, just moral erosion
Sad state of affairs, people who used to live side by side, now bitter enemies
Jews survived the the horror of the holocaust, only to carry on the legacy
The IDF armed by the US, kill with impunity, act just like the Nazis
The Palestinians fight back by blowing themselves into smithereens
There can be be no peace, while Israel keeps building settlements in the West Bank
They flaunt their disproportionate power, carry out another incursion with their tanks
