Forced into a way of life
That makes us Dead Meat:
Forced into a way of life
That makes us slaves and steals our pride.
It's no wonder the youth want to die,
When we're taught to close our minds.
Consumerism is our way of life
But what we need money cannot buy.
Apathy becomes a way to cope but
Nothing's gonna change if the youth don't give a fuck.

Under The Thumb

Under the thumb
of the corrupt
The elected few
but they don’t stand for us.
Shifting the blame
Spreading the hate
To make us feat all
of the ghosts they create.
Spitting lies from their putrid lips,
Another crown for another new king
we are manipulated every day.
Trapped in a system built on decay
Standing by unaccountable
Authoritarian and un controllable
Behind the guise of democracy
Say they fight for "freedom"
while they steal our liberties.
They don’t stand for us
morally bankrupt.
When will we speak up
If they won’t speak for us
More money for power,
no matter the cost.
What should we do
When They betray our trust
The time has come
To stand up.

The Shift
01:29
|

Have they done enough yet,
to earn their agency and respect?
The more they speak up
The more eager we are to dismiss.
'Cause i regret many things i’ve said
I’ve been a part of problem
Now i’m a part of the shift
Cause it was all out of ignorance,
and i’m trying to make up for it.
No longer will I stand by
Can’t look our mothers in the eye
Cause it’s a losing battle
when there shouldn’t be a fight.
While you laugh it off
Another woman's been raped
and then told it’s her fault.
And she'll work free for two months of the year
And she can't walk the streets alone without fear.
And not every story's the same
But enough is enough
Time to make a change.
I'll take my share of the blame
Until we can all feel safe
at any time, in any place.
I've been a part of the problem
Now a part of the shift.

Your mind is a haggard sponge
absorbing and accepting all you see
Brain washed by your fucking TV
ignorance becomes your gospel
and you preach it to me.
If you opened your eyes you’d SEE
That we’re all human
and we all BLEED.
but there’s no bombs falling on your head.
Your freedom's a right you're not willing to share.
You’ve tunnel vision:
a focus for your hate
you’re locked on target
and you won’t be swayed.
The fire grows stronger with each day.
But it has no ability to affect change.
Every human on this planet
looks the same on the inside
If you’d open your eyes
you’d see your hate is blind
Your views are so backwards
and rooted in fear.
Your racist attitudes have no place here.
Empathy can’t be achieved through war,
call yourself a patriot?
What are you fighting for?
If you opened your eyes you’d SEE
That we’re all human
and we all BLEED.
but there’s no bombs falling on our heads.
It’s all about money, can’t you understand?.
If you opened your eyes you’d see
that we are all human and we all bleed.
If you’d only open your eyes,
you’d see your hate is blind. and steals our pride.
It's no wonder the youth want to die,
When we're taught to close our minds.
Consumerism is our way of life
But what we need money cannot buy.
Apathy becomes a way to cope but
Nothing's gonna change if the youth don't give a fuck.
