Raise the Flag

Voiceless children, listen to what I say
Rebellion and redemption is not so far away
They drowned you out, knocked you down
We wanted opportunity, but they just want the crown
And you'll never know your strength
Unless you put it to the test
You've got to fight your way to the top
If you want to be the best
Here we go! Here we go!
Now they'll finally know
Who we are and what we do
Raise the flag and start the show
Start a fight! Start a fight!
Make the fire burn all night
This is our chance to make things right
Independent, that's right they stand on their own
Waiting for the single shot to take back their home
And the riot squad, they've got a lot on their plate
Tonight when the battle out the soldiers of our hate
And you'll never know your strength
Unless you put it to the test
You've got to fight your way to the top
If you want to be the best
Here we go! Here we go!
Now they'll finally know
Who we are and what we do
Raise the flag and start the show
Start a fight! Start a fight!
Make the fire burn all night
This is our chance to make things right
Here we go! Here we go! (Here we go! Here we go!)
Here we go! Here we go! (Here we go! Here we go!)
Here we go! Here we go! (Here we go! Here we go!)
Here we go! Here we go! Here we go!
Here we go! Here we go!
Now they'll finally know
Who we are and what we do
Raise the flag and start the show
Start a fight! Start a fight!
Make the fire burn all night
This is our chance to make things right
Here we go!

We Don't Need You
02:37
|

Now they've started something different
A long, long time ago
They're stoners and the punks and the emo kids
You never thought you'd know
Now they're fading away slowly
Trying to give in
But we won't succumb, no we won't conform
Yeah, we're better off in our own skin
We are independent
We stand up on our own
We do what we want
Not what you want us to do cause
We're not mindless drones
We're different, you can't stand it
You don't know what to do
We march to the beat of our own drum cause
We don't need you
Now you talk of revolution
Where do you think it's from?
You could lay on your ass and wait for time to pass
But no, that's just plain dumb
Now we're coming back for own sake
So get back, get ready for more
Cause we'll never ever be like you
This place will go up in a fucking uproar
We are independent
We stand up on our own
We do what we want
Not what you want us to do cause
We're not mindless drones
We're different, you can't stand it
You don't know what to do
We march to the beat of our own drum cause
We don't need you
And now all across the city
The Jesus Freaks all pray
A sound corrupts their children
Now they can say what they want to say
An inspiration to be yourself
In spite of everything
Cops, kids, posers, tools...
Fuck everything
We are independent
We stand up on our own
We do what we want
Not what you want us to do cause
We're not mindless drones
We're different, you can't stand it
You don't know what to do
We march to the beat of our own drum cause
We don't need you
We don't need you
We don't need you
We don't need you

You're a Lie
02:41
|
|||
You're a lie, you're a lie
Now you're gonna die
As a travesty of yourself
You're a fool, you're a fool
But you think you're really cool
Cause you let your personality die
Let it die
You're a lie, you're a lie
You're a motherfucking lie
Sixteen-year-old at the height of insecurity
Find your self-hatred as a sign of your maturity
Nails aren't real and you've got make up instead of skin
Paint yourself in plastic like a Bloomingdale's mannequin
We have had enough
Now your time is up
You're a lie, you're a lie
Now you're gonna die
As a travesty of yourself
You're a fool, you're a fool
But you think you're really cool
Cause you let your personality die
Let it die
You're a lie, you're a lie
You're a motherfucking lie
It's all a heap of lies, all the models in a magazine
Stick your fingers down your throat, you think you'll make it on the scene?
Pretty little girl, but you've got your body on display
The self mutilation that do yourself will end today
We have had enough
Now your time is up
You're a lie, you're a lie
Now you're gonna die
As a travesty of yourself
You're a fool, you're a fool
But you think you're really cool
Cause you let your personality die
Let it die
You're a lie, you're a lie
We won't
Lose you
To something you don't have to prove
You run
You hide
Commit social suicide
You crashed
You fell
You spend your life in hell
Fuck them
What they say
Be whoever you want to be
You're a lie, you're a lie
Now you're gonna die
You're a lie, you're a lie
Now you're gonna die
You're a lie, you're a lie
Now you're gonna die
You're a lie, you're a lie
Now you're gonna die
You're a lie, you're a lie
Now you're gonna die
You're a lie, you're a lie
You're a lie, you're a lie
Now you're gonna die
As a travesty of yourself
You're a fool, you're a fool
But you think you're really cool
Cause you let your personality die
You're a lie, you're a lie
Now you're gonna die
As a travesty of yourself
You're a fool, you're a fool
But you think you're really cool
Cause you let your personality die
Let it die
You're a lie, lie, lie

Take It All
02:09
|
|||
What do you have? What do you need?
You pay me, then I'll give it to you for free
Don't care what's right, don't care what's fair
I'll anything for my share
I'll send the troops, pass a law, raise a tax
Yeah, I'm doing it all
Betray the country, start a war
Just as long as you give me some more
Take it all
Take it all
Take it all
Take it all
Take it all, take it all, I've got no feelings and my conscious is small
New laws I'll make, then I'll take until you've really got nothing at all
Nothing's free except for me, cause you're really just taking the fall
Give it up, I own the world and that's why I'm taking it all
Take it all
Take it all
Take it all
Take it all
Take it all
Take it all
Take it all
Take it all
Take it all
Take it all
Take it all
Take it all

Going Nowhere
02:16
|
|||
Another day spent on my couch
I'm still going nowhere
Just a lazy bum, a grouch
I'm still going nowhere
Repetitive thoughts circle in my head
I'm still going nowhere
Not worth a shit, hell I'm better off dead
I'm still going nowhere
Well I'm not going anywhere
And you're still going nowhere
So why don't we just go nowhere together?
All by myself, I wonder how
I'm still going nowhere
All my friends would rather be somewhere else
Going nowhere
You know me better than I know myself
I'm still going nowhere
But then we take another hit
I'm still going nowhere
Well I'm not going anywhere
And you're still going nowhere
So why don't we just go nowhere together?
Another day spent on my couch
I'm still going nowhere
Just a lazy bum, a grouch
I'm still going nowhere
Repetitive thoughts circle in my head
I'm still going nowhere
Not worth a shit, hell I'm better off dead
Cause I'm going fucking nowhere
Well I'm not going anywhere
And you're still going nowhere
So why don't we just go nowhere together?
So why don't we just go nowhere together?
So why don't we just go nowhere together?
So why don't we just go nowhere together?

Riot On!
03:35
|
|||
Another child dead, a murderer set free
In every state, the people can't believe
It's happened once before and it's happening again
Police brutality will never end
Cause they know what they've done
Summoning the firestorm
A jury and a court system
In need of drastic reform
We riot on
We're gonna fight all night til it's right
Til he drops his gun
We riot on, we riot on, we riot on
A gavel hits the block, a family starts to cry
Throughout the nation, people begging why?
They claim to stand their ground, but the other weren't armed
They let them go and say that no one's harmed
They said it's justified
And they got what they deserved
But they won't stop us from rioting
To see justice fucking served
We riot on
We're gonna fight all night til it's right
Til he drops his gun
We riot on, we riot on, we riot on
A gray sweatshirt to represent
A gray sweatshirt to represent
Cause we riot, we riot on, we riot on
We riot on, we riot on, we riot on
We riot on, we riot on, we riot on
We riot on, we riot on...
We riot on
We're gonna fight all night til it's right
Til he drops his gun
We riot on, we riot on, we riot on
Crime is a crime
No matter the color of your skin
And murder is murder
No matter what state you're in

Dead America
02:16
|
|||
Dead America, dead America, dead America
On your hands
Dead America, dead America, dead America
On your hands
Dead America, dead America, dead America
On your hands
Dead America, dead America, dead America
On your hands
Once moving forward and getting stronger on a sturdy pace
Now spinning out of control, we've fallen far from grace
The ignorance and media and hatred have boiled up a war
The age of hysteria with a fire burning to the core
It's time to open our eyes and look
At this burning hell that we've made
The fighting, the bodies, the money, the crime
The price is still to be paid
Dead America, dead America, dead America
On your hands
Dead America, dead America, dead America
On your hands
Eyes shut tight and bow your heads to what you all deny
Imprison all the cattle, destroy their homes and send them off to die
Selling off your kids, you make an obligation to the war
I guess that's how it is, we fucked it up. Reality's a whore
It's time to open our eyes and look
At this burning hell that we've made
The fighting, the bodies, the money, the crime
The price is still to be paid
Dead America, dead America, dead America
On your hands
Dead America, dead America, dead America
On your hands

Bastard Son
03:03
|
|||
Running back and forth in circles once again
Questioning myself about who I am
I'm constantly preoccupied with the world's judgement of me
Why the hell do I give the time of day?
Cause you've got your reigns on me
A puppet of society
Like the shallow grave I've dug up for myself
Don't tell me what to do
I can't live my life like you
So the hollowness inside me's gone away
Dead and gone, your time is done
Now get out, go away
The bastard son, you better run
The new one's here to stay
Hey
Running back and forth in circles once again
This time I know that it's the end
I'm breaking out of this rusty cage I've been in so long
So wake up now and wave the past goodbye
Cause you've got your reigns on me
A puppet of society
Like the shallow grave I've dug up for myself
Don't tell me what to do
I can't live my life like you
So the hollowness inside me's gone away
Dead and gone, your time is done
Now get out, go away
The bastard son, you better run
The new one's here to stay
Hey
Cause you've got your reigns on me
A puppet of society
Like the shallow grave I've dug up for myself
Don't tell me what to do
I can't live my life like you
So the hollowness inside me's gone away
Dead and gone, your time is done
Now get out, go away
The bastard son, you better run
The new one's here to stay
Dead and gone, your time is done
Now get out, go away
The bastard son, you better run
The new one's here to stay
Hey
Hey

Desperate Times
02:29
|
|||
Stan, he was a family man
Working for the bank
But God, don't get him angry
He had a problem with his booze
So when he got laid off
He cooked his family into stew
And when the cops came knocking
Stan was on the floor
With a shotgun in his mouth
No one lived there anymore
You get the pit-like feel in your stomach
It's like a black hole
It makes you feel small, feel insignificant
You have no control
Desperate times call for desperate measures
When there's nowhere else left to turn
Hank, desperate for some money
To raise his family
He had two sons and a daughter
But the boys sold and sniffed blow
They got shot up by dealers
Before Hank could ever know
So he tried robbing a liquor store
And got sent straight to jail
His daughter was found overdosed
In the street, so cold and pale
You get the pit-like feel in your stomach
It's like a black hole
It makes you feel small, feel insignificant
You have no control
Desperate times call for desperate measures
When there's nowhere else left to turn
You get the pit-like feel in your stomach
It's like a black hole
It makes you feel small, feel insignificant
You have no control
Desperate times call for desperate measures
When there's nowhere else left to turn

When the Riots
03:16
|
|||
Getting off my feet and I'm starting to soar
I'm pissed and I'm senseless and I'm starting a war
Watch the fights begin as my eyes turn red
Bang! Bang! You're dead, there's a bullet in your head
Strike a match and go and then throw it to a crowd
Watch the towers fall and yell really fucking loud
See the hooded figures running up and down the street
Pigs will keep them down and then peg them til they're beat
It's a...
It's a go!
When the riots break out
The anarchists start to shout
There's gonna be a fight tonight, that's right
Spilling all your gore
But they're still screaming for more
There's gonna be a fight tonight, that's right
Struggle to escape and I step on broken glass
Try to cut the corner, but the guards don't let me pass
Sparks and debris and the ringing of a bell
A molotov explodes and I feel the fires of hell
Shots ringing out over the nighttime sky
Screaming so much hatred, now my lungs are dry
I can hear explosions from the bombs so loud
Burning at the bottom of a mushroom cloud
It's a...
It's a go!
When the riots break out
The anarchists start to shout
There's gonna be a fight tonight, that's right
Spilling all your gore
But they're still screaming for more
There's gonna be a fight tonight, that's right
Hide me...
Hide me now!
When the riots break out
The anarchists start to shout
There's gonna be a fight tonight, that's right
Spilling all your gore
But they're still screaming for more
There's gonna be a fight tonight, that's right
When the riots break out
The anarchists start to shout
There's gonna be a fight tonight, that's right
Spilling all your gore
But they're still screaming for more
There's gonna be a fight tonight, that's right
When the riots break out
When the riots break out
When the riots break out

Static Misery
02:41
|
|||
Far beyond reality, a medium of lies
An insidious agenda destroys your conscious mind
Tune in for an episode of who you wanna be
Cause it's comfortable to see
All I hear is blah blah blah on television
But nothing means a goddamn thing
The media's turned to ignorance
Well they're keeping the TV screens clean
All I hear is blah blah blah on the airwaves
But how is it relevant to me?
The media's turned to ignorance
Well we live in the age of static misery
Keep your sanity close at hand, it'll come in handy one day
When fucked up reality shows try to tell you who to be
Primetime sitcoms try to keep the innocence
But we know it makes no sense
All I hear is blah blah blah on television
But nothing means a goddamn thing
The media's turned to ignorance
Well they're keeping the TV screens clean
All I hear is blah blah blah on the airwaves
But how is it relevant to me?
The media's turned to ignorance
Well we live in the age of static misery
And all I hear is
Blah blah blah on television
But nothing means a goddamn thing
The media's turned to ignorance
Well they're keeping the TV screens clean
All I hear is blah blah blah on the airwaves
But how is it relevant to me?
The media's turned to ignorance
Well we live in the age of static misery

We crawl up from the alleyways from all over the nation
The underdog fucks who never got an education
Bottles in our hands to begin our operation
Only goal within our minds: world domination
