Everything is just fine they say
Though times for me are still going tough
This economic growth is pretty rough
Lines for bread at the store are quickly growing
But they say progress isn’t slowing
So who am I supposed to believe
My eyes or the mouths on TV?
On the beach in the sand
After a short run
Enjoying a bottled water
A man walks by
Not that I meant to be looking
But I see his shorts riding low
Passed the point of no return
And so I know he has shaved his mane
A lion dressed as a lioness
Because he's heard somewhere
That it's the right thing to do
When the sun is rising
And all the thoughts are new
We wait around for them to change
Because that’s what people do
First they come and tell you
This and that to say
Then they come and take you
To use another day
You listen well to the sounds
This and that is true
But no one knows what’s going on
We don’t have a clue
Oh fuck we’re all dying
Oh shit we’re almost dead
Oh whoops it’s all your fault
You’re the first to lose your head
I'm addicted to fun
And all the comes
High scores are to be made
Whether it be
A screen or a tree
My daily regiment
Let's go somewhere quiet
Somewhere to be alone
We can hold hands there
And feel lonely together
Inflation doesn't exist they say
Ask your parents what they paid in their day
Ask your grandparents how it used to be
Tell your children what it's like to be free
Can't find me that special one
Or at least the one I'd like
Been around the town before
Seen the same old things
Tattoos and piercings and some
Rocks are hanging from their chests
None of them seem to fit
We're drinking shots after midnight
Someone's telling me
To start a fight
While the others like to play
Shy or don’t like to talk
None of them seem to fit
There was once someone
I thought could be
Mine but I
Was just using again
My wicked imagination
Nothing turns it off
Death is the only solution
Nothing ever turns it off
Universal revolution
On a dark and dreary moonless night
The boy prepares for his final fight
Though he knows not that it will be his last
As he bites his gloves to tie them fast
He had long since said goodbye
To those he loved and they wondered why
Without a glance or a look behind
He had wandered off with something to find
Alone he took to the barren streets
Determined to accomplish amazing feats
But found nothing more than back street brawls
He clenched his fists, "I'll beat them all!"
His first opponent went down with a thud
The next was defeated with his face in the mud
It seemed that the boy had found what was missing
He felled his foes and the crowds came kissing
So then it came time to take up the stage
To fight bears of men while trapped in a cage
The others had told him he'd never be ready
But he held his head high and his arms were steady
The beast he would fight had killed three men
They said he'd been raised in a lion's den
But the boy came too far to turn back now
And he had nothing left to lose anyhow
At the crash and the clang of the first bell ringing
The boy charged forward and started swinging
One by one they traded blows
The audience lifted up on their toes
They ooh'd and ahh'd at each landing hit
No one in the entire theater could sit
It was the greatest fight they'd ever seen
Between a full grown man and a boy just eighteen
As the rounds moved on the man gained ground
His fists had a target that they easily found
While the boy swung wildly into the air
If they found the man's body the boy didn't care
No one could verily understand why
The boy continued forward with two swollen eyes
He had something left in himself to prove
Though his arms and legs could not barely move
The boy smiled a bloody and beaten grin
"If that's all you got, I'm going to win."
This sent the lion man into a rage
"I'll teach you how to act your own age!"
It was then that the crowd started looking away
They couldn't stand this horrid display
"Just go down you fool!" They yelled to the boy
But the blood and the pain were what brought him joy
Flesh and bone met again and again
It seemed that the boy had reached his end
But as the grown man started to tire
Inside of the boy there grew a fire
The audience couldn't believe what they saw
One punch from the boy smashed the old man's jaw
And down he went with a thunderous sound
And never again got up from the ground
As the audience cheered the young boy knew
That only one thing was left to do
The boy smiled and took his final breath
"I told you I'd beat you," and collapsed to his death
Part 10
What I’m hearing right now
What I’m seeing
What I’m living right now
What I feel
What I know
What I think
The moment
The shadows
The echoes
The insight
The glory
The end
Our hypocrisy democracy
Run by the corporatocracy
Creates an aristocracy
An infinite bureaucracy
Who really make a mockery
Of the people they represent
Don't remember falling asleep
Can't remember dreaming
I'm awakened by the alarm
Through the window light is beaming
Don't remember where I was
Can't remember my name
I'm all alone in this world
Please tell me its just a game
Always tired
Never sleep
Never hungry
Always eat
Nothing's fun
No where to go
I think I'm done
With this show
There’s no snow
In San Diego
There’s no beach
There’s no crime
In all the cities
There’s no speech
There’s no rules
For us to follow
There’s no strife
There’s no time
For God to watch
There’s no life
Just emptiness
In all the souls
Just apathy
Just blackness all around
Just you and me
I have old dreams in new places
&
nbsp; I have old memories with new faces
Nothing new is said or done
Just repetition back to one
I had a dream the other night
You were there but not quite right
Something was missing from your face
Something different about that place
The thoughts repeating are nothing new
Remembering the days I spent with you
But something’s missing, not quite right
The skies have changed from day to night
An endless string of repetition
But without my personal recognition
Nothing new is said or done
Just counting down back to one
No one cares about the judges
No one knows our names
No one talks about how we
Play our little games
You go to jail or
You go free
Your fate of late
It's up to me
Life is useless
Life is pointless
Let's get drunk
The universe is big
The universe is old
Let's get baked
God doesn't talk to us anymore
Only through books that humans wrote
Let's try some acid
It's all going to end one day
The universe itself will die
Let's take some E
Everything will be forgotten
Even the best things in life
Let's take some shrooms
Music, art, love
All for nothing
Let's try crystal meth
No one can tell us
What it's like to die
Let's snort some coke
I'm just wasting time
Waiting for an answer that will never come
Heroin heroin heroin
Think about that future
In which you love
Everything that you do
Everyone that you see
Think about that future
Where there is no need
To sit and dwindle
Over your misdeeds
Think about that future
Where you won’t ever feel pain
Where you won’t ever feel weak
Think about that future
Where you are able to die
With nothing missing
With nothing bleak
Part 11
There are thinkers and doers in this world
The thinkers try to control
The doers do what their told
I haven't cleared my desktop
For either months or weeks
I can't delete the shortcuts
They're making life look bleak
The person I want to be
The person the world wants to see
Have never been so decidedly
Opposed
I doubt there's a cure
For a feeling so pure
It's such an allure
But the meaning's obscure
And I'm not sure
How much more I'll endure
Who you gunna blame?
You blame the rampant immigration
You blame the environmentalization
You blame the gods and then the men
But never blame the money my friend
My misery is killing me
It won’t let me be
Who I want to be
It won’t let me have
What I want to take
It won’t let me live
For heaven’s sake
I want to write but I’ve nothing to say
No words to express or songs to play
No thoughts to share or feelings to reveal
So I’ll just keep running on this hamster wheel
Nothing really matters to us anyway
We’ve made up our minds before the start of the day
I say this as though you didn’t already know
There really is no limit to how low we can go
I’m going to travel and see Japan
I’m going to travel and see Brazil
I’ll go to the lowest depth
And up the highest hill
I’m going to study
I’m going to speak
I’m going to achieve
What used to be bleak
I’m going to live
I’m going to feel
I’ll have a home
That I call real
No not Mars
I look forward
Into the coming future
I look forward to
The coming rain
I see behind
Blinded by the brightness
I change my mind
I'll never look again
Part 12
One day, one year
What's it mean to me?
The difference in the passing time
I simply cannot see
Remember those things
You think you were thinking
Remembering those beings
Singing and drinking
What I want
I'll never obtain
But I'll make sure
You never attain
A comfort level
Higher than mine
A happiness
Of any kind
The things I want
Don't exist
The things I hate
Always persist
The world I'll change
To fit my view
I'm deranged
But so are you
So let's go together
And fix this mess
Make something better
And destroy the rest
There was a time
When I thought
That everything would be okay
There was a time
When I thought
That everything would go my way
But then I realized
That this world
Is not what it seems
I realized one day
I would never accomplish
Those
Which were my dreams
I fought and struggled as much as I could
But nothing would turn out
The way it should
I started to give up
On everything I held true
But then you came along
And made me start anew
There is no justice in this world
There is no liberty
No country or sovereign nation
With people truly free
What they’ve taken from our hands
Can never be repaid
Their blackened beating soulless hearts
Shall feel our swords one day
For the weak and weary are too be feared
Those who have lost all hope
Those who have nothing left to save
A society which cannot cope
Just keep it going
All the time
Through every rhythm
Every rhyme
Don't let it go
Though it's all for naught
Don't make it stop
It's all I got
Everyone wants to die you know
It's all that's ever heard
Onward to heaven we'll go
Living just seems so absurd
The pain is rather dull
Residing in my skull
As my heart sleeps alone
Inside its empty hull
The tears are somewhat bored
But strike a distant chord
As I fell my lonely enemy
United by my sword
Part 13
What if Germany had not lost the war
The Nazis came knocking on everyone’s door
The German People had no remorse to show
>
As they sat in their houses all covered in snow
The American Asian Soviet Union as one
Couldn't stand up to the German gun
Their lands were covered with Swastika bases
Their newborn babies had white German faces
The structures were rebuilt in Albert Speer style
While tanks and planes still killed with a smile
All foreigners were sent to a camp in a robe
Until the German People finally conquered the globe
The new shows on television told them the lies
They believed what they saw with their very own eyes
The real story was lost in the sand forever
But the German People held their hands together
The old reasons were gone but new ones were found
To build a secret military base in the ground
The scientists worked so hard each day
To keep their own evil forces at bay
And so it happened that information escaped
Videos revealed of children raped
Secret documents found of the unknown past
Until the truth was finally revealed at last
As the years went by the People started to see
That this Nazi World just couldn't be
Blonde and Blue with nothing to do
Day by day the resistance grew
As the Nazis tried to tighten their grip
More and more of the People began to slip
Shots fired at protesters in the World's Square
Dead bloodied bodies scattered everywhere
The Nazis refused to change their goals
Fighting violence with even more violent souls
The People now hated what they once adored
The consequences of their actions grossly ignored
It was then that everyone began to jump ship
A hyper-inflating Mark enforced with a whip
If you listened closely you could hear the sound
Of the German Empire coming crashing down
The fall of the Empire was good enough for some
But others wanted destruction and succumbed
To their desire for revenge and eternal hate
Their feelings for the Nazis would not abate
What if this time the bomb went to some other place
This time exploded on a German face
The man's picture painted all over the news
A degenerate soul with nothing to lose
So what will it take for us to learn?
To find this peace for which we yearn?
Must millions and billions more innocents die?
Before we reach that pie in the sky?
There's only been one person
That has always been there
Been there
For me
Just me
Content or angry or depressed
Who could have ever possibly guessed
How one feeling would dominate
How a change in state would have to wait
I caught the last train to Tokyo
Because I've got no where else to go
I held the last person at the show
Because there's no one else I know
German is a pretty fun language
Japanese is hard to read
English won't go away
Chinese will one day lead
Gunna get so tan
Gunna get so ripped
The little ladies they won't resist
Gunna charm so hard
Gunna say some lines
The young adults they'll all be mine
Gunna make some cash
Gunna rob the store
The old women always begging for more
But I'll tell you what
I'll let you know
I've always just wanted
To be alone
I threw my happiness
Down in a deep abyss
An eternal bliss
Whose chance I missed
I see an angry face
In mirrors every place
A smile goes to waste
Revenge craves a taste
For I know not
Which to be
