Parasite 01:50
You are just a waste of space I hate to see your fucking face Take and take but never give If I had it my way you'd cease to live Sitting on the couch all day Content as your life wastes away Your days of living off others are through It's not society's job to take care of you (Get a life) You're a burden to everyone (Get a life) Sick of you and now I'm done (Get a life) Without you, my future's looking bright (Get a life) You're a parasite Take my home away from me Fill me with rage and hostility I can't wait for all this to end so I never have to see you again (Get a life) You're a burden to everyone (Get a life) Sick of you and now I'm done (Get a life) Without you, my future's looking bright (Get a life) You're a parasite

Promoters, they prey on the weak and young Inexperienced musicians with their songs unsung Pay out of your pocket if you wanna play So they get their money and don't care who stays The only thing that I can say is (Fuck pay to play) We'll just do things our own way (Fuck pay to play) These types of shows are pointless, you don't gain new fans You think you're making money but it's just a scam Beware of these promoters and the lies that they tell Instead of getting money, you're stuck with tickets to sell The only thing that I can say is (Fuck pay to play) We'll just do things our own way (Fuck pay to play)

Assimilation 02:26
Welcome to America, the land of the free We're taught to follow certain rules in order to succeed Go to college, study and immerse yourself in debt and if you're lucky you can work to barely make a check These standards are preventing us from being truly free I'm not made for this life and it's not made for me Why trade a life of individuality for a generic existence of false security I refuse to assimilate myself into a mold by doing and acting exactly as I'm told The moment I give in to this societal regime is when I become just another gear in the machine Buy buy buy, satisfy your consumer needs Purchase all the latest products shown on your t.v. Use them as a substitute for parenting your kids cause it's much easier than the alternative These standards are preventing us from being truly free I'm not made for this life and it's not made for me Why trade a life of individuality for a generic existence of false security I refuse to assimilate myself into a mold by doing and acting exactly as I'm told The moment I give in to this societal regime is when I become just another gear in the machine So watch the news and be scared into submission Stare at the screen and lose all cognition Eat at McDonald's cause who needs nutrition Relinquish your mind and submit your volition The tower of ignorance must be dismantled So make a difference and set the example Living only to buy and consume will lead to our total destruction and doom This life's not for This life's not for This life's not for me

Contention 01:38
Why put down others with slander and hate Instead stick together to think and create Destructive inhabitants of a musical scene A danger to themselves, to you and to me This isn't a contest or a competition We're all together in a similar mission Destructive inhabitants of a musical scene A danger to themselves, to you and to me The music didn't change, it's the labels that did People segregate it with the things they forbid I don't care how hard you are, or what type of "core" All I know is I don't wanna hear it anymore
6.
Why do we divide ourselves so willingly? Perpetuating hatred and hostility Discriminating others who aren't like you Why can't you see another point of view? Living in a strange world that is divided wishing instead that we could be united We don't wanna live here if it's this way If only you had something better to say Discriminating others who aren't like you Why can't you see another point of view? Dehumanizing people of the world Teaching hatred in the schools to all the little boys and girls Sometimes I feel like the only one who feels like this racist shit and malevolence is overdone Religious bigots who are quick to judge Ignorant racists who will hold a grudge Against those who are any different than them This type of destructive behavior must end Signing off discriminating laws Persecute the innocent and say it's for a just cause Putting up with ignorance and hate Focus on the differences, ignore the ways that we relate Religious bigots who are quick to judge Ignorant racists who will hold a grudge Against those who are any different than them This type of destructive behavior must end

Narcissism 02:16
Walk over others, don't care if they've bled Do what it takes if it means we get ahead Cutthroat attempts at inconsequential goals Life is a play, we all want the title role (Start with yourself) Break the chain of narcissism (Start with yourself) Make a clean slate All we have is you and me So learn to practice empathy (Start with yourself) Before it's too late This song is about the selfish things people do But make no mistake, this verse is for you It pains me to see just how far you could fall You once spoke of no cash, but now you want it all (Start with yourself) Break the chain of narcissism (Start with yourself) Make a clean slate All we have is you and me So learn to practice empathy (Start with yourself) Before it's too late Creatures filled with discontent Egos and entitlement Always something to resent Never feeling satisfied, always wanting more
9.
All I see is a sad old man grasping for his past Brag about the imaginary fortune you've amassed Avoid responsibility like the fucking plague All the people you have wronged will come for you one day Open your eyes Open your eyes Open your eyes See through the lies See through the lies See through the lies You seem to be lacking respect for others and yourself Overlook morality in the pursuit of wealth Manipulating others for your own personal gain Your actions aren't forgotten but the damages remain Open your eyes Open your eyes Open your eyes See through the lies See through the lies See through the lies
10.
Future Fear 02:12
Drive myself crazy, I know it's all in my head but the thoughts still flow Afraid of what may lie ahead My mind is filled up with worry and dread Fear consumes my mind, what if I don't find my purpose in this life, one devoid of strife I'm not content with the current conditions Constantly wanting to accomplish more All that I've done is never enough I need to grind until my bones are sore Nobody seems to see what they think is best isn't best for me Why can't they just say something that will really help someday? Sometimes all of this can seem so pointless But the last thing that I need is any apathy I'm not content with the current conditions Constantly wanting to accomplish more All that I've done is never enough I need to grind until my bones are sore Trapped in a cell of uncertainty My mind is the prison, the future the key Who I am and where I will be can only be chosen by me
11.
Don't censor me because you don't agree Sometimes the truth isn't what you wanna hear Who are you to tell me what I can say? This voice is mine, and I'll use it my way No one's opinions should be discounted Nobodies' thoughts should be stifled or oppressed Failure to act will enable injustice Remaining indifferent makes you like the rest One person's voice is a powerful tool It can rally the people or do something cruel All should have the liberty to express what they want if it's said with respect Just like there's always two sides Freedom of speech is easily abused Homophobic racists and bigots prove that certain voices shouldn't be used One person's voice is a powerful tool It can rally the people or do something cruel All should have the liberty to express what they want if it's said with respect

Diseased 03:18
Turn away the sick and the poor Greedy providers always want more Rich get all their treatment with ease This system is the fucking disease You're dead without treatment, there's nothing you can do They wanna save your wallet, they don't wanna save you Doesn't matter if you're handicapped, disabled or you're sick They'll turn a blind eye as you die, and ask you to make it quick Care isn't given for free Instead it's a luxury Our country allows sickness to spread and holds the cure right over our heads You're dead without treatment, there's nothing you can do They wanna save your wallet, they don't wanna save you Doesn't matter if you're handicapped, disabled or you're sick They'll turn a blind eye as you die, and ask you to make it quick We're gonna take all the patients and throw 'em out We'll dump 'em in the streets and forget about all the lives we ruin with our policies Just ignore the problem, it'll be a breeze You're dead without treatment, there's nothing you can do They wanna save your wallet, they don't wanna save you Doesn't matter if you're handicapped, disabled or you're sick They'll turn a blind eye as you die, and ask you to make it quick Corrupt insurance companies are the source of all the pain they pay only what they have to, and minimize their claims Spending in this industry continues to increase, but some people's life expectancies aren't growing in the least Examine the system and give others a chance to live
