Mad 04:47
Barrel along eyes wide The needle buried deep My mind is free and clear I sink back into the seat Then the world decides to turn on me With a thousand bright red eyes A mass of metal, glass, and broken dreams My God, why? (chorus) This has gone too far, there's no purpose here Don't it make you mad, they are everywhere Like a growing swarm, an endless plague This has gone too far, beware the human race The heat is building up This borders on absurd The tension is building up I feel the fear of the herd Sacrifice your time for the useless and corrupt A river of mindless flesh and metal, it's all too much (chorus) And if I came breathing fire, toting guns If I shot all I could see it still wouldn't be enough Because there is more than you imagine there could be The one-minded mass has grown to a staggering degree Just be calm just relax we're almost done Here we are at the end what's the cause… there is none (chorus)

Robots Killing Robots It's all so scary Tiny square machines On a sideways ladder It's only dirt we see We control it all We control it all Or it just might be the other way around Just look with open eyes How far can you see Feel safe behind your lies Afraid to be free Like the stains in your driveway You will never be clean You're laying in the highway To see the bright lights gleam We control it all We control it all Or it just might be the other way around Just look with open eyes How far can you see Feel safe behind your lies Afraid to be free And you know you're hypnotized You're happy just to be Just sit back and watch it die The truth and the free Robots killing robots (chorus)

My plate is full but I want more So I leave the sympathy at the door What am I but another beast What am I but another beast I feel the weight of my massive crown And these gold chains they keep me down What am I but another beast that feeds No way, no way I get the feeling that we're running away Away from reality With no money I make no sound While atop their mansions they're awfully loud Who am I but the choice I make Just trying to live, just another beast Fat and heavy they keep us down Theres no fighting with them pound for pound What am I but another beast that feeds No way, no way I get the feeling that we're running away Away from reality I think its time for us to turn and face the day And if we don't like what we see Then it's time for a change We won't stop until it's all for one There's no turning back, it's just begun What am I but another beast that feeds

With a careful voice you state your plea The arrogance, you say You raped the world out of need Don't you lie to me Excuses are sickness, I don't care anymore I wanna make you pay for what you've done We never wanted to be Revolutionaries We didn't wanna save the world You just left it this way I'm not a savior, you're not my maker I'm not your keeper, you're not my leader You tell us all it's just a mistake The genocide that you profit from You disgusting waste of human life You're useless, it's your mess that you gave to us Now we're left to fix what you've done We never wanted to be Revolutionaries We didn't wanna save the world You just left it this way I'm not a savior, you're not my maker I'm not your keeper, you're not my leader Yeah… fuck you

Are you feeling tired, do you need a nap How about a pill that will bring back The youth that you lost And other things you want Are you not one of the pretty ones Are you not quite thin enough This pill will peel fat off And other things you want (chorus) Want a better you, you just call us Wanna live your dreams, it is all just One pill away One pill away May cause misery Are you feeling unhappy Do you want the world to go away This pill kills bad thoughts Oh, wait… maybe not (chorus) Better living through chemistry Or another ploy to get your money What's your desire (chorus)

Human 04:24
Common ground never seemed so weak Alright, all right Hungry, sick, we fight and feed Egos leading the way Steeped in greed we eat the weak Vicious, senseless I'll do for you what's good for me If you want, then you will pay I don't see your way The more you get the more you want always, all ways Like a fat kid with a lollipop Waving it in my face Common good never seemed so weak alright, all right I'll do for you what's good for me It's just the human way A human way
8.
The Greed 04:47
Like a virus spored and spread An infection buried deep within And we don't care anymore Like a war we already lost The sick ones out number us And we don't care anymore Like a voice in the back of your head Like a god that makes you kill for him You lost control Their tables heavy and full Do you like the crumbs they're giving you Is it not enough? Right of people acts of pigs Acts of pigs, thievery is just good business And the worst begins Blind-minded bought and sold We sit here in a stranglehold Or we get up and fight Like our lives in their hands It's just a currency for them to spend Humility can save us all
