1.	Trying To Get On 01:46	lyrics	buy track
Trying to keep moving and gather no moss Another barrier in the way to get a cross All of this wasted time comes at a cost Bits of my life stolen and forever lost Get out of the way Yea you Get out of the way Yea you Get out of the way Yea you I’m trying to get on Whenever I get moving someone’s in the way Whenever I earn something, it gets taken away Just trying to cut through all of this disarray But there’s always someone that ruins the day Get out of the way Yea you Get out of the way Yea you Get out of the way Yea you I’m trying to get on Just trying to through, by but I get rebuffed I’m just getting screwed, just getting cuffed I’m at the point where I’ve had enough Does getting by really need to be so tough Get out of the way Yea you Get out of the way Yea you Get out of the way Yea you I’m trying to get on I’m trying to get on I’m trying to get on
2.	Capitalize 02:45	lyrics	buy track
Feast on flesh the day is done Keep them all under the gun Feed them lies until their dumb The class war’s already won The poor all lined up in the streets Despising the so-called elites When no one can make ends meats It’s time to collect all the receipts When human suffering is on the rise Capitalize When the nation is in demise Capitalize Propagandize what you see Say it all repeatedly Dismiss the facts arbitrarily Keep up the conspiracy Stay unclear Reappear Keep the fear Profiteer When human suffering is on the rise Capitalize When the nation is in demise Capitalize Watch them fight for crumbs of bread Watch the plague start to spread Watch them all wallow in dread Make sure they all remain mislead When human suffering is on the rise Capitalize When the nation is in demise Capitalize
3.	Runaround Sue 02:06	lyrics	buy track
Here’s my story, it’s sad but true It’s about a girl that I once Knew She took my heart and ran around With ever other guy in town I should have known it from the very start This girl would leave me with a broken heart Listen People what I’m telling you Keep away from that Runaround Sue Her blood red lips and the snarl on her face Her raven hair and her cold embrace So if you don’t want to die like I do Keep away from that Runaround Sue She like to travel around She'll love you and she'll put you down People, let me put you wise Sue goes out with other guys Here's the moral and the story from the guy who knows I've been in love and my love still grows Ask any fool that she ever knew Keep away from Runaround Sue Keep away from that girl You never know what she’ll do Keep away from Sue She like to travel around She'll love you and she'll put you down People, let me put you wise Sue goes out with other guys Here's the moral and the story from the guy who knows I've been in love and my love still grows Ask any fool that she ever knew Keep away from Runaround Sue I don’t know what she’ll do Never Know with that girl Keep away from Sue
4.	Broken 01:50	lyrics	buy track
Empty vessels torn to pieces lying on the ground Expressing these frustrations that are all abound Intimate destruction just to keep the demons down The mind and body just there to be broken The game begins the rules are kept unspoken Keep a piece, a memory, a token Broken For all the years it’s all been locked away deep inside Buried deep within the barriers, fortified Causing all the demons to be amplified Knowing what to do now, clarified The mind and body just there to be broken The game begins the rules are kept unspoken Keep a piece, a memory, a token Broken Roaming in the shadows so invisibly Leaving pieces all around just to see Sharing with them the way that I bleed More broken pieces fill the need The mind and body just there to be broken The game begins the rules are kept unspoken Keep a piece, a memory, a token Broken Broken
5.	Join The Hate Club 01:27	lyrics	buy track
Damn Society It's not like in my father’s day Why'd you lie to me Everyone has lost their way pass the ball, To downfall It’s such gall, Fuck them all I admit, Out of wit Live is shit, commit ..and Join the hate club Join the hate club When the world has torn you down Join the hate club Damn complacency leaving all my own behind drifting aimlessly Anymore I'll lose my mind Deep-seated, Been cheated Mistreated, Defeated all unfurled, Have no girl My lost world, Give a whirl ..and Join the hate club Join the hate club When you’ve got nothing else Join the hate club Join the Hate Club now
6.	Derelict 01:48	lyrics	buy track
the poor, the mad and the estranged Passing by them every day Thinking your life is still safe Just one lost paycheck away Derelict Living a life of mental pain Services can't be obtained Putting an escape inside their vein While slowly destroying their brain. Derelict Worked fifteen years on the job The companies packed up and gone Now he’s just a broken slob Drinks away the life robbed Derelict
7.	Propaganda 02:25	lyrics	buy track
Tell me that I’m doing great But I don’t see it that way The market won’t give me a break Can’t get by on what they pay Working an even longer day Making sure my mind can’t stray Freedom only if you can pay Poor and you don’t get a say Upper-class consumption Telling you lies Leadership corruption Telling you lies Public Assumptions Telling you lies Propaganda Slowly take away our rights For our own protection, right Troopers coming in the night Locked away from public sight Blame it on the other man Disinformation is the plan Taking everything, they can So, no one can take a stand Upper-class consumption Telling you lies Leadership corruption Telling you lies Public Assumptions Telling you lies Propaganda No thinking needed anymore Believing the lies that you adore Feed the corporations more Exploit the middle class, the poor Social media at the core Amplifying the hate more Ripping people to the core Creating a new civil war Upper-class consumption Telling you lies Leadership corruption Telling you lies Public Assumptions Telling you lies Propaganda
8.	ShovelHead 01:47	lyrics	buy track
Blazing teeth and on the run, With charging force, the Tooth-Monster comes With swift movement, the beast attacks A quick retreat, then charging back Shovel-Head A dark shadow moving like the wind The Tooth-Monster comes again, again... Speak Shovel-Head and she comes A tooth-monster in a charging run. Shovel-Head The only peace Is when Shovel-Head sleeps And the Tooth-Monster is gone. But in the end, She starts again, Then the Tooth-Monster is on... Swift as light and dark as night, She charges everything in sight! Shovel-Head
9.	You 01:57	lyrics	buy track
I don’t need nothin’, all I need is your love But the love that you’re giving just isn’t enough You push me away just to show that your tough The love that you’re giving just isn’t enough The love that you’re giving just isn’t enough My baby keeps me runnin’ and a guessin’ all day You say you want me closer but you keep me at bay You changing the rules of the games that you play Never really sure if I should go or a stay Never really sure if I should go or a stay Aint got nothin, but your’re somethin The way you keep away your lovin I’ll just be headin out that door now Aint got your lovin’ anymore Aint got nothin, but your’re somethin The way you keep away your lovin I’ll just be headin out that door now Aint got your lovin’ anymore I don’t need nothin’, all I need is your love But the love that you’re giving just isn’t enough You push me away just to show that your tough The love that you’re giving just isn’t enough The love that you’re giving just isn’t enough
