RISE
They try to make you follow their way.
All your peers and their stupid shit.
You know you'll never fall for their lies.
You might not fit in but you've got your own mind.
Rise - above the crowd
Rise - to break the mold
Rise - to seize control
Rise - to be your own
You can't let them just walk over you.
Stand up for yourself so you can survive.
You've got opinions you want to be heard.
Ignore all their bullshit we've got to learn to
Rise - above the crowd
Rise - to break the mold
Rise - to seize control
Rise - to be your own
(drum fill)
Rise - above the crowd
Rise - to break the mold
Rise - to seize control
Rise - to be your own
Rise!

TREASON
You think you’re free but you’re under control
Can’t burn a flag cause they own your own soul.
Masters and slaves, you know which you are.
Time to bow to the millennial czars.
It’s treason! To speak what’s on your mind
It’s treason! To fight with your own kind
It’s treason! To reject what they preach.
It’s treason! To exist within their reach.

WELCOME TO THE THEOCRACY
Welcome to the theocracy,
Built on blind hypocrisy,
Everyone calls it democracy,
Just gotta follow christian decree.
Jesus is coming you better learn to swallow
Livin on your knees is the only way to follow,
Swallow,
Follow,
Swallow!

The Real Answer

THE REAL ANSWER
The Left tells me this and the right tells me that.
How do they know that their way is correct?
Contradictory messages from school and my TV.
Everybody thinks they are but no one's really free.
Which way should I go and where do I fit in?
If no one ever breaks the mold then no one ever wins.
Frustrated, alienated I don't know what to do.
Who's got the real answer, is it me or is it you?
To them it's always black and white with nothing in between.
Talk of a grey area, they don't know what it means.
Never think for themselves they tow the party line.
They twist an ideology to whitewash their side's crimes.
Which way should I go and where do I fit in?
If no one ever breaks the mold then no one ever wins.
Frustrated, alienated I don't know what to do.
Who's got the real answer, is it me or is it you?

CRIMINALS
It happens everyday.
Criminals, rapists and murderers.
Kill them all, take their lives.
We want them to pay for their crimes.
Typical liberal protect the criminal.
While we pay for criminals to go about their lives.
They get health care when we don't have insurance.
It happens all the time.
Thieves, stalkers and lunatics.
We want revenge, kill them all.
We're all just animals deep inside.
Typical conservative you're so hypocritical.
Different sentences for different kinds of people.
Spare me your prejudice, we just want revenge.

HOSTAGE CRISIS
You think your captives will hold us back,
Negotiation's over, it's time to attack!
Not fair to call our methods cruel,
You assholes fucked with absolute rule!
Break out the tear gas it's a HOSTAGE CRISIS!
Societal impasse, it's a HOSTAGE CRISIS!
Underhanded guarantees, it's a HOSTAGE CRISIS!
Acceptable casualties, it's a HOSTAGE CRISIS!

Ronnie was a rebel, he also was a thief
He'd take your granny's pension and kick her false teeth
Stole his uncle's motor, drove it into town
Ronnie was a hard man, they'd never put him down
Ronnie didn't care, didn't give a fuck
Take your fucking trousers when he was down on his luck
Prison was the place Ronnie wanted to be
In with all the bad guys just like me
Ronnie was a hero, he watched it on TV
Semi-naked women and a corporate ID
Planned the biggest job the country's ever seen
A fuck off great big shotgun
Ronnie's really mean
