Shattered 03:33
lyrics

Think that you're free, gripping your own Ball and chain But you're just a rat scurrying 'round in their cage Think that you're safe, days all comfortably pass But you're just an ant at whim of their magnifying glass Think that you're protected, you think that you're safe Let's see what happens when you try to stray Think that they don't care, or at least don't care to see But the powers you trust aren't the powers that be And so your world is Shattered, Shattered You've gotta run Because your world is Shattered, Shattered Lose faith and you'll be done Shattered, Shattered Shards of purgatory Shattered, Shattered Left between the gloss and the reality You think it's all fine, everything just as it was They've scared your brave old world into false blue skies above You think you have a voice, you think you're still alive They've diluted your colors to sterilized white Think that you're protected, you think you have freedom Let's see what happens when you try to run Think that they're forgiving, or at least have hands of love The only part of their hand you're under is their thumb And so your world is Shattered, Shattered You've gotta run Because your world is Shattered, Shattered Lose faith and you'll be done Shattered, Shattered Shards of purgatory Shattered, Shattered Left between the gloss and the reality

You’ve ANSWERED THE CALL OF DUTY MARCHED-OFF TO THE BATTLEFIELD YOU’VE WON THE MEDAL OF HONOR FOR ALL THE BROWN PEOPLE THAT YOU’VE KILLED Clawed for big points on Live’s leaderboard Armchair genocide wet-dreams Gettin’-off on the jingo Tom Clancy strokefest You’re the ignorant tool we need Yeah Iran, Iran Contra Iran, Iran Contra Iran, Iran Contra Iran Contra What is the Strait of Hormuze anyway? ‘Pretty sure it’s just some kind of DLC So ready to kill the big bad final boss To reinstill good ol’ Project Ajax Achievements and explosions The rewards and perks rack-up There’s the Full-Metal Jackoff soldier Outside the frat-house to sign you up Stars and stripes explode in your wide eyes A warfighter like on TV You and MoCap Dog will blow Tehran away Like JFK killin’ those zombies Yeah Iran, Iran Contra Iran, Iran Contra Iran, Iran Contra Iran Contra Forget the backstory, who really cares why? Just point the gun and shoot the enemy The bullet hits, they never said you’d feel Raised-on football, Ayn Rand, and MMA Iran, Iran Contra Iran, Iran Contra Iran, Iran Contra Iran Contra

Flowers In Salt 02:34
lyrics

Rage of repression Breeds malformed dejection Meiji ossification Yields consternated ronin Sekuhara, Nankingly prowess Bred along genitively dimorphistic lines Iro Otoko, comfort women wanted Streams wander barren until they die Yamado-nadeshiko Just a womb-for-rent though Reyosai-Kenbo A fetishized placebo Onna Diagako at the tip of your stick Isn’t she so cute when she’s angry? A pale white gem of your projections Does Hatsune Miku dream of electric sheep? White crystals of purity Exhausted of pleasures transiently Dirtless, spectless, translucent But the yariman, she was asking for it Shokugyo Fujin Now, back to the kitchen Caretaking Ie Now, back to the factory Jogakusei, don’t get too old now Take the yonaguni out behind the barn Amaterasu can’t breathe on her knees Or in the Rochean limits of your subway car White crystals of purity Exhausted of pleasures transiently Dirtless, spectless, translucent But the yariman, she was asking for it Ego’d suns of individuality Paled reflective moons of others’ glories If you don’t believe, watch the fires ensue When she wakes, it’ll be as if the mountains move

Opulent few Buying consent The planet’s future The grand expense Feudalist suits with quarterly plans Ecologics, mere market externalities Their institutions tying their hands Short-term profits, global catastrophe Wasting the world, Wasting the world (Ah,ah,ah,ah) Wasting the world, Wasting the world (Ah,ah,ah,ah) Vile maxims of Mankind’s elite All for themselves It always seems Polluted ground The smog-choked air Just tell your kids About your fucking market shares Scientific consensus be damned Drills in the mud, no need to question fracking Their institutions tying their heads They’ll be long gone, wrought our future of rotting They’re wasting the world, wasting the world (Ah, ah, ah, ah) Wasting the world, wasting the world (Ah, ah, ah, ah) What have we wrought? With the greed won? What world’s been reaped? What have we sown? Wasting the world, Wasting the world (Ah,ah,ah,ah) Wasting the world, Wasting the world (Ah,ah,ah,ah) Yes they are Wasting the world, Wasting the world (Ah,ah,ah,ah) Bastards Wasting the world, Wasting the world (Ah,ah,ah,ah)

A sterilized white screen, a joystick in your hand Can hardly tell the blob of infa red’s another man Clear to fire, they’re in your sight Clear to fire, they’re in your sight A technocratic toy For a quieter war Fewer casualties But the Burkes are bored He can’t cheerlead like Bush Bombed Yemen just seems bland You got another one Put a medal on the man They never see it coming, but they always hear a sound Civilian or combatant, let the A.I. sort ‘em out No more humans, no more joysticks, ‘just robots over there Activists might bitch, but most won’t even care Clear to fire, they’re in your sight Clear to fire, they’re in your sight Clear to fire, they’re in your sight Clear to fire, they’re in your sight Frederick the Second’s war It’s coming back in style Use it in, wear it out Recalled with winks and smiles International crisis But so far over there Another dead name you can’t say Why the hell should you care? Gotta resist, threats of ISIS now It’s all hubris where each side sits, and how Comic book threat made to be met, by The liberal joy of warfare toys, yeah The brothers Blue are giving you drones Move packages, and slaughter pigs, one Can’t but reflect, on the war budget when Its surpluses are appliances, yeah FirE, Fire, Fire, Fire, Fire Got you in their sights ect.

Knowledge, Ltd. 03:58

Students clawing for some kind of future Drowning in debt just to learn Predatory bastards in business suits See this as money to be earned Ensnaring the kids with flashy adverts The poorest of them flock in droves Let ‘em pay out the ass for nontransferable futures So long as it pays CEOs Saddled with loans and insurmountable debt Thirty-somethings stuck at their mom’s home Left prospectless and fleeced by plutocratic nihilism We’ve got your money; you’re on your own And we’re left with nothing Left with nothing at all But a bleak horizon Left with nothing Left with nothing Our future’s been sold to pauperism Public schools first preached the gospel With industry came discipline Creative thinking and knowledge already less to instruction The business model further chokes learning Teach to the test, Huxleyian standardization Autonomy is automatically crushed Artful cognitivization falls to process and quotas Our intellectual dawn’s getting the brush Hyper-tangibles cement the climate of competition I can’t be the stupid kid, I need an A Desperation and stress deaf ears to cold corporatism Maybe they’d hear if I blew all of them away And we’re left with nothing Left with nothing at all But a bleak horizon Left with nothing Left with nothing Our future’s been sold to pauperism

... Hopeless? 05:00

Bleak future Across the pond Giving rise To gilded dawns Cheap slogans Convenient It’s not banks It’s immigrants Austerity Come to roost Pensionless old Loan-drowned youth Scared and armed Communities Fail and shout Don’t tread on me Starved and cast to the dark By the state house the Von Hayeks burned down Some see the anguished ghosts of Romans But more than Parsifal must be found Or its Hopeless- Oligarchs soar on eagles high Hopeless- As we're left to starve, compete, and die Hopeless- Their brutal world shall be our end Hopeless- We're domineered by iron hands Old snowjobs New sermons Elites preach Pauperism Society Nullified Competing Glorified Look to see the heavens And only the harvest moon shines down Their tide comes in, our tide goes out Score one for the Gippers as we all drown Is it Hopeless- Oligarchs soar on eagles high Hopeless- As we're left to starve, compete, and die Hopeless- Their brutal world shall be our end Hopeless- We're domineered by iron hands You know that we can't give in Even if the struggle's long Forget instant gratification The film won't end because the black guy won And you know we can't give in To convenient simple truths The world's secrets aren't in slogans From PR-firmed focus groups And you know we can't give in To their brutal world of sorrow Answer now is don't give in Aim for a new tomorrow Or its Hopeless- Oligarchs soar on eagles high Hopeless- As we're left to starve, compete, and die Hopeless- Their brutal world shall be our end Hopeless- Unless we learn that we can't give in We can't give in We can't give in We can't give in You can't give in
