You think you're such an outcast
Always complaining, bout the past
You fit into your mask so well
It must burn like hell
When the costume doesn't fit you
Throw a fit
That's all you're good at
Everything's a competition
Go!
You stick to people like wall paper,
Let 'er rip!
Do the makeup do the hair
Act like other people care
You think it's life or death
I think that you're on meth
It's not your fault you think that way
It's the ads, it's the U.S.A.
Everything's a competition.

So you wake up to "fake news"
You say it won't break you,
But you believe the lies denouncing the truth
If I hear that phrase one more time
I'm gonna puke
Remote control government
You wake up the next day,
Do your research or so you say
But when science says we're warming
You argue "then why is it a snowy day"?
Remote control government
You wake up today,
But are you really awake?
You denounce generation
But it's only what you make
It's not my problem
You're gonna die soon anyway
Remote control government

Storybook

You live by a fire of a torch burning from your own hate,
By a book revised in secret by King Henry VIII,
To control the people by a fake allegory,
Don't you know your own story?
The classrooms and the textbooks are required by law,
Not to mention Howard Zinn not to teach you to flaws,
Of a corporate democracy an Adam Smith society,
Your bible and your bigotry won't bring this world to peace.
The TV and the news have been biased for years,
But it's only until now that you choose not to hear,
From the ones who care enough to make a dent,
In a world where "wisdom" is just "common sense",
Your prejudice is controlled by men,
Who's money gives them the upper hand
On your lack of faith in humanity,
Yet you've faith in a god who controls everything.
You suffer from a story book,
You make us suffer by the same thing,
I guess I'm homeschooled.
Nothing good came from your heritage,
Especially not you!

Keep The World Dumb

A lone [white] gunman
Not marked a terrorist
Shot 37 people in the chest.
As a child
He had no friends
He likely isn't stable in the head
All alone
But he was not alone
A Muslim passenger
Stabbed in the throat
Just trying to catch a ride back home
She practiced peace,
Prayed five times a day
Just for that she was going to pay
All alone
But Allah was not home.
Funny how the true God always lines up with the region
Funny how the color is the last thing that they're speaking
Even tho they know damn well,
It's the first ingredient for labeling a terrorist!
Slap on a color, label the syndrome
Gang-related to the bone
We're gonna keep the world dumb
With nationalism
Whatever makes the average consumer feel like they've already won...
Keep the world dumb!
Keep the world dumb
With nationalism
Whatever phobia we can come up with
Behind closed doors they're still gettin rich
Keep the world dumb
It's always the bad guy who gets what he wants,
And always the good guy who's labeled a fraud
In the end you'll always choose your downfall
Misconstrued you'll always choose your downfall
But that's not us
We are the few!

I Wish I Was A Lesbian

I've never felt like a girl,
But man wouldn't it be cool,
To be with one for all your life,
And be one too.
I wish I was a lesbian!
I can't explain it,
No I can't contain it,
The way I want to
Grow some tits shave my pits,
Be an in-love anarchist with the
First girl that I see.
I wish I was a lesbian!
I just can't wait to see her face on her birthday,
When she opens my present,
A new pair of combat boots and she says,
"That's the same thing I got you!"
I wish I was a lesbian!

Small Fake World

t's a small world after all,
It's a blind world after all,
It's a fake world after all,
It's a fixed world after all,
It's a drug world after all,
We will fight with alcohol.
We will fight for equal all,
Underground we're free from all...
Until the nukes drop on us all!

My names Lisa I hate Muslims
Don't you know how they treat women?
Donald never hurt a fly
Donald trumps my kinda guy!
My senator just got arrested for raping a boy
It's not his fault he's not a homo
He's only a little confused
I'm not fascist I'm not fascist
Have you heard the news
Just because my kind is best
Doesn't mean I'm crude
We're taking back our country
We're starting with the gays
They never end up happy
With their lives anyway
Hatred, violence are a fine
Price to pay to pride
Just because I'm a zombie
Don't mean I'll eat you alive!
I'm not fascist I'm not fascist
Have you heard the news
Just because my kind is best
Doesn't mean I'm crude
