Nothing comes easier than madness in the world today
Mass paranoia is a mode not a malady
Yeah, I'd like to watch 1,000 cable channels but there's nothing on
And my high speed connection's monitored daily by The Pentagon
These things are seldom what they seem
I'm not inclined to enjoy my dreams
Won't go away
No Peace (no peace), and No Friends (no freinds)
We trace the mortal edge (with no defense)
To State the obvious, This world is perilous for us
No sense and No Guide, ain't it beautiful to be alive (yeah, right)
I won't resign before the struggle ends
So I'll construct this sound defense
We are the prey and culture is the predator
I'm running out of time where conditions are positional
Shadows of a doubt cast reluctance and depravity
There's got to be a way to overcome this cruel reality
Is there an option left for me, I'm not immune to despondency
There's no way 3
No Peace (no peace), and No Friends (no friends)
We trace the mortal edge (with no defense)
To State the obvious, This world is perilous for us
No sense (no sense) and No Guide (no guide),
ain't it beautiful to be alive (yeah, right)
I won't resign before the struggle ends
So I'll construct this sound defense
There's a signpost on the corner and it keeps everybody safe
We were all made in the shade
And your mother's in the kitchen, where she's patching all the cracks in the wall
We never had a care in the world
(No shade) Too much to sacrifice, (No light) it's hard to recongnize
(Just black) traps to compromise (And white) obscuring deadly alabies
(My plans) It's combinational, (designs) the pressure's so intense
So I'll construct this sound defense
(No Way) Nothing's plainer than the madness in th

Long ago in a dusty village,
full of hunger, pain and strife,
a man came forth with a vision of truth,
and the way to a better life,
he was convinced he had the answer,
and he compelled people to follow along,
but the hunger never vanished,
and the man was banished,
and the village dried up and died,
at a time when wise men peered,
through brass tubes toward the sky,
the heavens changed in predictable ways,
and one man was able to find,
that he had thought he found the answer,
and he was quick to write his revelation,
but as they were scrutinized
in his colleagues eyes,
he soon became a mockery,
don't tell me about the answer,
'cause then another one will come along soon,
I don't believe you have the answer,
I've got ideas too,
but if you've got enough naivite,
and you've got conviction,
then the answer is perfect for you
an urban sprawl sits choking on its discharge,
overwhelmed by industry,
searching for a modern day, savior from another place,
inclined toward charity,
everyone's begging for an answer,
without regard to validity,
the searching never ends,
it goes on and on and on for eternity
don't tell me about the answer,
'cause then another one will come along soon,
I don't believe you have the answer,
I've got ideas too,
but if you've got enough naivite,
and you've got conviction,
then the answer is perfect for you
the answer is perfect for you
You have got your stranglers and prowlers in soft shoes. Furniture makers,
carpenters too
Bombers and commandos, all with some lost cause
Disgruntled workers, immersed in veritás
But stealthily, in the land of the free, he's lurking there
Most are unaware of
The biggest killer in American history
And god shed his grace on thee
Business institutions universites
Both are quite the circus where the killer wants his way
I think of Edward Teller and his moribund reprise
Then I look to Nevada and I can't believe my eyes
It's time for hime to die!
Most cannot remeber minutia learned in school
It's not there on the blackboard, it's what they don't tell you
We have got a problem, it starts and ends right here
It can be defeated but you've got to face your fear
We'll join and unite and steady our sight
Then we'll put it right `cuz it's time to fight
The biggest killer in American history
And god shed his grace on thee
Oh yeah! I want to bask in your golden light
submerge in electric waves
I need my connection to the world outside
the world outside is buzzing like an angry wasp in summer
the candidates are running, and soon the son of God is coming
crackle mental convolutions tune in to the revolution
whereby everyone's included so we'll never have to be alone
Television, Television, Television, Television
Oh yeah! I want to bathe in your golden light
submerge in electric waves
I need my injection from the world outside
Every atom of my body, blood and sinew,
bone and fiber
I can't distill you from my blood,
you're a hungry germ inside of me
You're my lover, you're my heroine,
my conscience and my voice,
and I know now that I have let you in
I will never have to be alone
Television, Television, Television, Television
Oh yeah! I want to bathe in your golden light
submerge in electric waves
I need my connection to the world outside
I'd take after my mother but she's from a different generation
I prefer my big brother he's so gentle and understanding
and I learn what I can from him by the television light
So that when I'm all alone I know everything's gonna be alright
parched, cracked mouths, empty swollen guts
sun-baked pavement encroaches on us
haves and have-nots together at last
brutally engaged in mortal combat
10 in 2010
what kind of God orchestrates such a thing?
10 in 2010
ten billion people all suffering
10 in 2010
truth is not an issue just hungry mouths to feed
10 in 2010
forget what you want, scrounge the things you need
happy and content it can't happen to you
10 in 2010
fifteen years we'll think of a solution
10 in 2010
it won't just appear in one day
10 in 2010
for ten in twenty-ten we're well on our way
like piercing ear darts, I heard the news today
10 in 2010
10 billion people...coming your way
Did you ever see the concrete stares of everyday?
The lunatic, the hypocrite, are all lost in the fray.
Can't you see their lives are just like yours?
An unturned stone, an undiscovered
Door leading to the gift of hope renewed, eternity for you.
The masses of humanity have always had to suffer.
The businessman whose master plan controls the world each day
Is blind to indications of his species' slow decay.
Can't you see his life is just like yours?
An unturned stone, an undiscovered
Door leading to the gift of hope renewed, eternity for you.
The masses of humanity have always had to suffer.
People blow their minds (they choose to resign)
This deformed society is part of the design.
It'll never go away (it's in the cards that way).
The masses of humanity have always, always had to suffer!
A door leading to the gift of hope renewed, eternity for you.
The masses of humanity, still clinging to their dignity,
The masses of humanity will always have to suffer.
Always have to suffer.
Well,am I making haste or could it be haste is making me
what's time but a thing to kill or keep or buy or lose or live in
I gotta go faster
keep up the pace
just to stay in the human race
I could go supersonic,the problem's chronic
tell me does life exist beyond it?
when I need to sate,I just accelerate into oblivion
into oblivion yah yah yah yah yah yah yahn
Now here I go again,everything is alien
how does it feel to be outstripped by the pace of cultural change
my deeds are senseless and rendered meaningless
when measured in that vein
I could go supersonic,the problems chronic
tell me does life exist beyond it?
when I need to sate,I just accelerate into oblivion
I won't lie,it's exciting when I try to decide things...
I just want to live decently,meaningfully
I'm in misery
(pace setters,go getters,rat racers,forgetters,researchers,berserkers
strategies to help the workers,new time saving devises,quick vices
no crisis, brevity dependency,digital effciency)
I could go supersonic,the problem's chronic...
tell me does life exist beyond it?
when i need to sate,I just accelerate into oblivion
into oblivion yah yah yah yah yah yah yahn
there's an old man on a city bus
holding a candy cane
and it isn't even Christmas
he sees a note in the obituary
that his last friend has died
there's an infant clinging
to his overweight mother in the cold
as they go to shop for cigarettes
and she spends her last dollar
on a bottle of vodka for tonight
and i guess it struck a nerve
like i had to squint my eyes
you can never get out
of the line of sight
like a barren winter day
or a patch of unburned green
like a tragic real dream
I guess it struck a nerve
every day I wander
in negative disposition
as I'm bombarded by superlatives
realizing very well
that i am not alone
introverted
i look to tomorrow for salvation
but I'm thinking altruistically
and a wave of overwhelming doubt
turns me to stone
and i guess it struck a nerve
sent a murmur thought my heart
we just haven't got time
to crack the maze
like a magic speeding clock
or a cancer in our cells
a collision in the dark
I guess it struck a nerve
(one, two)
i try to close my eyes
but i cannot ignore the stimuli
if there's a purpose for us all
it remains a secret to me
don't ask me to justify my life
cause I guess it struck a nerve
(it struck a nerve)
like i had to squint my eyes
you can never get out
of the line of sight
like a magic speeding clock
or a cancer in our cells
a collision in the dark
I guess it struck a nerve
Dedication is the price you pay:
The initiated are Coddled and caged
Before you walk, as soon as you crawl
Hope is pointless when you're stuck in the trawl
Fuck the freshman lectures and brandishments
They just betray impoverished accomplishments
The puppet masters fear originality
They tighten up the tethers and they shackle your feet
Submission complete
Your recruits never have a chance,
Enticed to the drill, admonished to dance
Early to rise and early to shine,
Life is long but the end is nigh
Break the guilty trammels from yesteryear
Remember how rejuvenation conquers all fears
Lowly opportunities take commanding roles
And hawk ultimatums so their weakness won't show
The sad reflection of dead ambition
You live for nothing. Submission complete.
Yeah, break the guilty trammels from yesteryear
Remember how the taste of failure makes it all clear
The lowly opportunities take commanding roles
And hawk ultimatums so their weakness won't show
The sad reflection of dead ambition
You live for nothing
Expectation, indoctrination,
Life's a damnation. Submission complete
Dying on your feet
Submission complete
A total defeat
A mutinous enemy carved a nascent country
Sweat, blood, and valor
Forms the grit of our history
Beqeathed to everyone:
Chance and free expression
Substance was restrained
And the spirit was broken
I feel a strange denial
Rythmic as a change
Constance as time
Lonely
Insistent whispers
Somber as a wave bye bye
Searching for solution, without constitution
Blackcoats by our sides
Promising salvation
Advocating dogma as tickets to hereafter
Mortals in their prime
With their desperate hands in the air
Daunting
Complex and burning
Rythmic as change
Constant as time
Conflicts
Craving approval
Weighted as a murder trial
Oh I feel a strange denial
Correct is Consensus
Everything else, nonsense
