They're All The Fucking Same! Another election year will pass just as fucked as the last Control through fear instills apathy How many will die this year in their wars This shits not just gonna stop in another four It's deeper that Bush family lies and electoral stunts Americas eyes must be blind to the democratic lie Its not just gonna stop in another four Four more years of grinding against the wheel Four more years is four more years Fo matter whos in control its the control i fear Because four more years is four more years

Following blindly like moths to a flame The sheep will follow shepherds false claims Holy soldiers killing for the cross The will of god spread by bullet and by bomb Brainwashed by faith from birth until death Suicide bombers send the innocent to rest Clerics of Allah theirs blood on your hands A shattered region with blood in the sands Times of desperation serve as a catalyst for manipulation of the mind while fundamentalist parasites plague human kind Filling their pockets to the gunfire’s sound are the very ones who claim the so called higher moral ground A ground soaked in blood built on fear and lies. Wealth and power for the few as they send their followers to die Control through fear of the divine, priests profits and gods are nothing more than oppressors of the mind The people follow blindly trading freedom of thought and expression for extremism and segregation War is the symptom and capitalism is the disease. Keep us all frightened to keep us on our knees. By mass producing weapons and manipulation through religion creates more profit for a fucked up system Brain washed soldiers die in rich mans war While oil executives count money behind closed doors Billions spend on the gulf war funds While healthcare and education plans are cut Yet the pawns keep fighting So politicians and priests Can bask in their oil money While the poor die in the streets

LET'S TAKE THE FIGHT TO THEM How long will these parasites try to recruit punks Their is no room in or scene for these nazi fucks Spreading their racist views through lies and deceit The time has come to clean up the streets No more fence sitting for the sake of the herd Our actions will silence their poisoned words Rally young warriors keep the fascist in check Watch em choke on their vomit as they swing from their necks We may get arrested or beaten down but we cant let nazis roam in our towns Confront them in the bars and on the streets because only through confrontation can the fascist be beat "Thou shall not be a victim" "Thou shall not be a perpetrator" "And above all else" "Thou shall not be a bystander!" If we do nothing Then things get worse Anti-fascist unite before its too late Unite right now and reject their hate If we do stand and hold our ground We can send a message to racists world wide That says all power to all people and fascism must die!

SAGO 04:18
SAGO Widowed wives and fatherless children Are what comes from unsafe conditions Its happened too many, too many times How many will die while working in the mines When clean energy is cleaner and easily achieved Yet the coal barrens get rich as the earth bleeds Ignoring the safety of workers and families in grief Those with lost loved ones will show no relief Until the people of Appalachia rise as one And view our oppressors through the barrels of guns No longer sitting back as they destroy our lives and our culture We will do everything we can to slay the coal vulture The tables will turn as sure as the sun will rise in the east We will take back our mountains and reclaim our streets Burn down their mansions and smash their machines Giving new life to our once poisoned streams Then we will drag the bastards from their ivory towers Watch then beg for their life’s in their final hour But down with king coal and off with his head Will be the only shouts heard as we avenge our dead

Befoul the earth and lock up those who discard the lie So tell those politicians to legalize or die!!! Another form of draconian oppression That millions have been arrested for possession Non-Violent offenders are drug war victims Locked behind bars as slaves to the system 1920s media and business tycoon William Randalf Hurst, and Dupont, creators of the synthetic materials rayon and nylon were facing severe financial loss to the natural hemp alternatives to rope paper and cloth, thus began the intense media smear campaign lead by Hurst. Propaganda portraying pot smokers as mindless zombies ready to steal your children. Once the public was frightened enough, Hurst moved on to congress. meanwhile duponts main source of finance, Andrew Mellon, head of the Mellon Bank, appoints Henry Aslinger head of the federal bureau of narcotics. Nearly all Aslingers testimony before congress was built off of Hurst's non scientific one sided newspaper articles failing to ever mention the positive aspects of hemp including its medical benefits. He declared before congress that marijuana is the most violence causing drug of all time. Befoul the earth and lock up those who discard the lie! Fuck the politicians! Legalize or die! Another form of draconian oppression That millions have been arrested for possession Non-Violent offenders are drug war victims Locked behind bars as slaves to the system The us government begins spraying the toxic poison paraquat on cannabis crops. This products use was even discouraged for this use by its manufacturer the chevron corporation. Exposure results in severe respiratory and internal damage and ultimately death. Regan with his just say no campaign, regarding the questioned use of paraquat replied "Marijuana is an illegal and harmful drug. If you don't use it, you don't have to worry about it"

Cast Aside 03:33
Cast Aside The united states is home to some of the most advanced medical technology in the world, but only to those who can obtain such a luxury. Due to privatization, nearly a quarter of the population has little to no possibility of receiving the care every being deserves. The reality of poverty is an insufficiency to what little care is available, and that’s if you can even get past the barriers the system creates. Healthcare is a means to further the gap between the rich and the poor, being nothing more than a product to be bought and sold as opposed to be held as the fundamental right of everyone. The ability to heal is vital in everyone’s life and to deny that to someone because of their monetary or social status is a reflection of the deep wounds the system inflicts on man woman and child. Outside the world of power and wealth People survive through compromised decision Faces not figures with loved ones, and passions Burdened with the choice of health or starvation The issue is so vast its hard to expose a simple example of basic human need No longer noble is the ability to heal, its not just the people's, but the systems disease. Inside the world of power and wealth Deaf to the cries of the children in need The figures don’t add up but their answer is simple Suppress the symptoms but never cure the disease

Greenwashing 06:41
Spending more time and money to create a veil of green to hide corporate greed Than actually investing efforts to minimize their poisonous impact Convincing people they are working towards change costs billions to achieve But they're willing to spend the money to get us to buy their things Resist the fallacies we are dealt and take back our lives In the name of the earth before the impending annihilation of all kind Taking advantage of peoples want to live pollution free Or convincing the rest to buy up, sit back and let the elite fix everything The majority of these companies don’t change a thing about their production It’s a PR campaign to push their corruption Resist the fallacies we are dealt and take back our lives In the name of the earth before the impending annihilation of all kind Car companies such as Toyota try to portray themselves as green yet continue to lobby against fuel efficiency standards. This is all while funding a billion dollar PR campaign to convince the public of their conscientious ideals. Chemical companies such as DOW and their human element campaign is a slap in the face to the thousands upon thousands of people and animals their products poison, like the pesticide dbcp and the infamous Agent Orange. Their merge with Union Carbide inherits them the Bhopal India industrial disaster that’s trauma and sickness continues to this day. The bombardment of earthy commercials and the push for the lie of clean coal. Claiming that destroying more mountains is the answer to the thirst for energy consumption. Or oil companies like BP renaming themselves “Beyond Petroleum” all the while backing the Bush administration plan to expand drilling in the arctic national wildlife refuge. This is a new generation of superficial environmentalism through advertisement Never stomach their devious attempts to make you live comfortable and guilt free And never except their agenda of blind consumerism and complacency Submissive advertising will always be their answer to everything Resist the fallacies we are dealt and take back our lives In the name of the earth before the impending annihilation of all kind The future of the planet and all it's living things So fragile is the balance, and soon the bird no longer sings The market mockery of all that’s at stake Their greed shall seal our fate Refuse and resist one of the greatest schemes of all time In the name of the Earth before the impending annihilation of all kind
