Deceived

I know it all
Or so I think
Let me tell you
How it will be
There will be new
Leadership
Which promises
To make a change
They’ll fight for me
And make things right
Get back my job
Without a fight
So here we go
Let’s buckle up
Put on our shades
Let’s take a ride
Lies! They’ve only told me lies!
Fool! I have been such a fool!
Lies! They’ve only told me lies!
I’ve been deceived
Lies! They’ve only told me lies!
Fool! I have been such a fool!
Lies! They’ve only told me lies!
I’ve been deceived
Regrets are what I feel
I have been duped
I’d like to go
And stop my vote
So now it’s clear
They weren’t for me
They only played
Upon my fear
The future’s dim
I feel alone
A reaper, grim
Clouds in my sky
They are big money
No it’s not funny
I’m not big money
I’ve changed my mind
Lies! They’ve only told me lies!
Fool! I have been such a fool!
Lies! They’ve only told me lies!
I’ve been deceived
Lies! They’ve only told me lies!
Fool! I have been such a fool!
Lies! They’ve only told me lies!
I’ve been deceived
Lies! They’ve only told me lies!
Fool! I have been such a fool!
Lies! They’ve only told me lies!
I’ve been deceived
Lies! They’ve only told me lies!
Fool! I have been such a fool!
Lies! They’ve only told me lies!
I’ve been deceived

Your only value to society
Is what you can create
It’s your job to make money
So that you can spend money
Work
Work
Work until you work until you work until you work until you
Work
Work
Work until you work until you work until you work until you
Work
Work
Work until you die
Toiling away at the machines all your life
If you are lucky you may get to save up
Enough money to purchase on object
You have been toiling all your time, sweating to make
Work
Work
Work until you work until you work until you work until you
Work
Work
Work until you work until you work until you work until you
Work
Work
Work until you die
Work
Work
Work until you work until you work until you work until you
Work
Work
Work until you work until you work until you work until you
Work

Work
Work
Work until you die

Cave drawings give me a clue
But they’re so vague, they just won’t do
I wish I could step into the past
But so sadly it can’t be done
The only history that gets respect
Is one that’s written in scripted language
Help me for I’ve lost my self
Past swallowed in a forgotten hell
Our holy rites never writ for the shelf
And so I can only guess what they could spell
But what of before
Back when we spoke?
If it’s not written
It seems like a joke
Look at the pottery
Animal motifs
Worshiping sun, our great life giver
In our present day fact holds no sway
Liars and swindlers alike get their way
Help me for I’ve lost my self
Past swallowed in a forgotten hell
Our holy rites never writ for the shelf
And so I can only guess what they could spell
Help me for I’ve lost my self
Past swallowed in a forgotten hell
Our holy rites never writ for the shelf
And so I can only guess what they could spell

Lost It
03:48
|

Since the bloody beginning we earned it
Flawed though our morality may have been
Gradually we unpack regrets and redress
All the time spent on growth
Now we trip on our own feet
We’ve lost it
We’ve lost it
All the time spent on growth
Now we trip on our own feet
We’ve lost it
We’ve lost it
Countless peoples followed our example
Thought perhaps we’d set things good and right
But of course perspective is all relative
And ours has been sitting out too long
All the time spent on growth
Now we trip on our own feet
We’ve lost it
We’ve lost it
All the time spent on growth
Now we trip on our own feet
We’ve lost it
We’ve lost it
All the time spent on growth
Now we trip on our own feet
We’ve lost it
We’ve lost it
All the time spent on growth
Now we trip on our own feet
We’ve lost it
We’ve lost it
All the time spent on growth
Now we trip on our own feet
We’ve lost it
We’ve lost it
We’ve lost it
We’ve lost it
We’ve lost it
We’ve lost it

Unequal
02:38

Men and women get different pay
For the very same jobs completed
How can this be called fair treatment?
There is no such thing as separate but equal
I choose to object to this farce
Break this lying out in the open
It cannot be right
When half the population
Has to fight for
Fair representation
Let us ask the people
Do you call this equal?
Some of our most important
Jobs have been usually done by women
These jobs need to be respected
It does not matter who does it
Everybody deserves
Fair treatment under the law
It cannot be right
When half the population
Has to fight for
Fair representation
Let us ask the people
Do you call this equal?
It cannot be right
When half the population
Has to fight for
Fair representation
Let us ask the people
Do you call this equal?
Let us ask the people
Do you call this equal?
Let us ask the people
Do you call this equal?

I don’t read any books
So I judge based on looks
Scared by the yellow peril
I’ll bid my Asian neighbors farewell
Who cares if they’re naturalized
They need to be domesticized
When our country goes to war
All those races get out the door
When I look at the screen
I see only people like me
Homogeneity fills my periphery
There are no minorities in my scene
When I look at the screen
I see only people like me
Homogeneity fills my periphery
There are no minorities in my scene
Hey little black boy
There are no jobs here
Join up with your Uncle
Well,w hat do you think?
Help us force freedom
On some people far away
But when you return
Your abusive Uncle continues to drink
When I look at the screen
I see only people like me
Homogeneity fills my periphery
There are no minorities in my scene
When I look at the screen
I see only people like me
Homogeneity fills my periphery
There are no minorities in my scene
When I look at the screen
I see only people like me
Homogeneity fills my periphery
There are no minorities in my scene
When I look at the screen
I see only people like me
Homogeneity fills my periphery
There are no minorities in my scene

Hey there
Pretty
Yes, you
Let’s go out
Dinner
And a movie
It’s on me
I’ll pay
Hey
That was fun
Wanna chill?
Oh, come on
I paid
So you owe me
That’s how
It’s gonna be
If I pay for you
I get access to your body
If I pay for you
I get access to your body
If I pay for you
I get access to your body
Hello, baby
We meet again
This time
At the restaurant
Hey, no
You can’t pay
That’s not right
It’s on me
Come over
To my place
I touch you
Wait, what?
You don’t like that?
You’re my date
What’s wrong with you?
Get on out!
If I pay for you
I get access to your body
If I pay for you
I get access to your body
If I pay for you
I get access to your body
If I pay for you
I get access to your body
If I pay for you
I get access to your body
If I pay for you
I get access to your body

Call Me Human

Want to live forever
You can’t stop me ever
I don’t even care about you
I only care for myself
Liar!
Killer!
Thief!
Destroyer of worlds
Selfish!
Arrogant!
Violent!
Breaker of words
Just call me human
Just call me human
Taking all I can
While I’m around
If you try and stop me
Your body won’t be found
Liar!
Killer!
Thief!
Destroyer of worlds
Selfish!
Arrogant!
Violent!
Breaker of words
Just call me human
Just call me human
Liar!
Killer!
Thief!
Destroyer of worlds
Selfish!
Arrogant!
Violent!
Breaker of words
Just call me human
Just call me human

Gears of War

Hundreds of years
To come to this
When once we fought
For life with peace
Now we sell
The arms of death
Our leaders cast us
To conflicts all over
The gears are turning
Cities are burning
We should move on
From games of war
The gears are turning
Cities are burning
We should move on
From games of war
Elected by money
From dealers of death
These people construct
The weapons for most
And when we pay tribute
To fallen soldiers
I wonder whose weapons
Killed our comrades
The gears are turning
Cities are burning
We should move on
From games of war
The gears are turning
Cities are burning
We should move on
From games of war

Where has it gone?
The knowledge we had
I am in mourning
Of the times past
People used to
Base their opinions
On concrete facts
When I grew up
People read books
Now they all judge
Just based on looks
You base your opinion on
Whichever views you share
Only hearing words that you like
An echo chamber
You base your opinion on
Whichever views you share
Only hearing words that you like
An echo chamber
Entertainment
Is all we get
Whether in school
Or at the Met
Even religion
Now is broadcast
If you subscribe
You will be blessed
I place blame on
The producers
To their delight
Postman was right
You base your opinion on
Whichever views you share
Only hearing words that you like
An echo chamber
You base your opinion on
Whichever views you share
Only hearing words that you like
An echo chamber
You base your opinion on
Whichever views you share
Only hearing words that you like
An echo chamber
You base your opinion on
Whichever views you share
Only hearing words that you like
An echo chamber

The Aliens Have Landed
02:52

Are you a native?
Do you respect this land?
Or do you disturb it
Just for some cash in hand?
Where did you come from?
No, not just you
But all your family
And cousins, too
This looks like a nice place to settle down
Bring our guns and whitewashed gods, let’s build us a town
With our might all opposition has disbanded
Take a look around, the aliens have landed
Take a look around, the aliens have landed
Only we have the rights based on our skin
Forget those darker colors, they’re not our kin
But we can save them and their futures will be brightened
Especially if they can make their pigment lightened
This looks like a nice place to settle down
Bring our guns and whitewashed gods, let’s build us a town
With our might all opposition has disbanded
Take a look around, the aliens have landed
Take a look around, the aliens have landed
This looks like a nice place to settle down
Bring our guns and whitewashed gods, let’s build us a town
With our might all opposition has disbanded
Take a look around, the aliens have landed
Take a look around, the aliens have landed
