1. American Way

Truth and honor faith and pride all convictions surely died honesties time
has passed time for lies is here at last truth is false I'm so fed up how did
we come to be so fucked hate fear pain death all our country has got left

Talk to children hear them say daddy left again today brother steals and
mommy lies future lost before their eyes the sun was lost behind the
clouds they rapped it up and blacked it out acid rain fell today it came
and washed our hopes away

This was once the land of dreams now these dreams have turned to
greed in the midst of all this wealth the poor are left to help themselves
a capitalist's democracy no one said that freedom's free lady liberty rots
away no truth, no justice the American way

Don't look past your t.v. all of us are what you see a looking glass into
our lives what we watch is what we buy priorities are out of whack
who is next to stab our back doesn't it make you mad to have lost all that
we've had

This was once the land of dreams now these dreams have turned to
greed in the midst of all this wealth the poor are left to help themselves
a capitalist's democracy no one said that freedom's free lady liberty rots
away no truth, no justice the American way

Doesn't it fill you with disgust that there's no one left to trust is this
happening is this real my body numb I cannot feel are you happy are you
sad are emotions a thing of the past I have no tears I cannot cry no one
mourns for a world that's died

This was once the land of dreams now these dreams have turned to
greed in the midst of all this wealth the poor are left to help themselves
a capitalist's democracy no one said that freedom's free lady liberty rots
away no truth, no justice the American way

2. Administrative Decisions

Comformity training center
Seas of mindless brain dead kids
Wandering lost forever
What an education is

Don't speak out, don't make waves
You get an education free
Just play along with our games
This system just ain't right for me

Faculty not ready to accept our needs
Schools geared to what parents want to see
Knowledge comes second to doing what you're told
We deny you exist we have an image to uphold

Obedient little classes
In this fascist little high school world
Encouraging apathy
Get involved and you'll get burned

Student council chosen
To meet the wishes, student needs
Principal with veto power
Sees these wishes meet defeat

Faculty not ready to accept our needs
Schools geared to what parents want to see
Knowledge comes second to doing what you're told
We deny you exist we have an image to uphold

Graduate or be cast out
You can't fit in there is no doubt
Just go get your GED
'Cause high school ain't right for me

What a shame you almost passed
Sorry though you could not be last
You have no chance to succeed
Fuck you all, just watch and see

Faculty not ready to accept our needs
Schools geared to what parents want to see
Knowledge comes second to doing what you're told
We deny you exist we have an image to uphold

3. One Nation

A vision os unselfishness
A union of black and white
One nation of all races
It's clear within my sight
I see it clear, no hate, no fear
No soldiers sent to die
A state that's free, and thrives on peace
No greed, no threat to life
We will not build the weapons of war
Which loom over your heads
We will not feed the war machine
Which leads our youth to death
We will not close our eyes
To the atrocities which abound
We will not stand and watch
Until we're six feet underground

The future is our burden
We cannot stand and watch
As the world around us crumbles
And opposing armies march
We will work towards our goal
One nation unity
And you must be the converts
Who work towards world peace

There are those around us
Who stand and say no way
Opposing lessened armies
They are here to stay
But no one knows until we try
What we all can do
I won't stand by, watch childrean die
It's up to me and you
Our world is divided
The boundaries have been drawn
Your ideas are decided
By where you have been born
We can't judge people
By the government of their land
They're flesh and blood like us

The future is our burden
We cannot stand and watch
As the world around us crumbles
And opposing armies march
We will work towards our goal
One nation unity
And you must be the converts
Who work towards world peace

4. Independent

Read my lips I don't care what you say I might listen but I'll do it my
own way don't you see it don't mean nothing to me when all's said and done
I'll stand on my two feet
Let me be I live by my own rules independent, independence can't you see
it's my right to choose independence, independent
Once they tried to teach teach me all their rules I had my own ideas
didn't fit in, in their schools don't they see that we all have a brain
there to learn not to be whipped and tamed
Let me be I live by my own rules independent, independence can't you see
it's my right to choose independence, independent
Read my lips I don't care what you say I might listen but I'll do it my
own way don't you see it don't mean nothing to me when all's said and done
I'll stand on my two feet
Let me be I live by my own rules independent, independence can't you see
it's my right to choose independence, independent

5. State Of Emergency

Jailed and beaten left to die political prisoners of apartheid youth of the
nation violently oppressed in the quest for freedom thousands dead
How can we let this be in their country they must be free when will
segration end when will the masses be free again
I can't concieve of this injustice I can't believe it's going on white man's
law is held supreme black man have no rights at all
How can we let this be in their country they must be free when will
segration end when will the masses be free again
In this age let's have harmony all people can be free this injustice must
now end the masses will be free again
How can we let this be in their country they must be free when will
segration end when will the masses be free again

6. The Power Of The Written World

Take the chance to manipulate
Thier truth is simply what they create
They'll put words inside you mouth
Have no chance to spit them out

What you read
What you see
What you think
Form their thought
From their view
From their ink

Opinions expressed are their views
Colored versions of the truth
It is fine to say what you think
Why belive every word you read

What you read
What you see
What you think
from their thought
From their view
From their ink

Don't belive a word they say
you know it never could be true
Anything they do or say is onlymeant
to mislead you
Don't belive a word they say
They're only trying to get control of you

Take the chance to manipulate
Their truch is simply what they create
They'll put words inside you mouth
Have no chance to spit them out
What you read
What you see
What you think
From their thought
From their view
From their ink

7. Heal

I remember, every word you said
I'll remember all until my dying day
I can't forget just what you said meant
But I'll try my best still anyway

Every promise broken I remember
Don't ever think I don't
Can't forgive can't forget
While I try to heal my wounds

I remember like it was yesterday
All my days were filled with joy
Then you came in lie a black cloud
And my happiness was destroyed

Every promise broken I remember
Don't ever think I dont
Can't forgive can't forget
While I try to heal my wounds

Can't forgive can't forget
I know I will go on
How could I be too blind to see
That you had just led me on
Now you are gone but i can touch
These wounds that I can feel
It's another time in life
My old wounds have healed

That was then and this is now
And those things are now in the past
And I know no matter what
Some things weren't meant to last

Ever promise broken I remember
Don't ever think I don't
Can't forgive can't forget
While I try to heal my wounds

Can't forgive can't forget
I know I will go on
How could I bee too blind to see
That you had just led me on
Now you are gone but I can touch
These wounds that I can feel
Its another time in life
My old wounds have healed

8. Blue Suit, Brown Shirt

Ignorance not new to you
You mission to exclude
Hate it blinds you cannot see
Pass you judgment down on me

Race dictates you every move
Pride is what you claim to prove
Seperation is what you mean
Hate is what you preach

Racist
Peice of shit
Bullet
Is the only way you'll learn

A bullet in you fucking head

Trade you brown shirt for blue suit
Only the clothes are new
Saw you try with David Duke
But we can see right through you

Racist
Peice of shit
Bullet
The only way you'll learn

9. Who's To Blame

Jonny can you hear me turn that music down
You're making too much noise I mean it do it now all that stuff is evil
Ozzy, Judas Priest there's backwards messages in that stuff that leads
you to the beast Jonny don't you hear me open up that door
I've been calling you for hours I won't say it anymore just wait until
your dad gets home and sees what you have done kicked out of school
you've got no job you're a useless delinquent bum oh my god it's
Jonny hanging by his neck all those metal albums have led him to his death

Now it's time for parents to open ears and listen maybe it's too late to see
what you've been missing music is no cause of death it's you that
suffocates if you had opened your eyes and ears you'd see just who's to blame

Who's to be responsible for a life that's gone off track who's the one who
must be there to see it gets put back where were you to hear the cries of a
person in need were you there to see the signs or were you too busy

Now it's time for parents to open ears and listen maybe it's too late to see
what you've been missing music is no cause of death it's you that
suffocates if you had opened your eyes and ears you'd see just who's to blame

Who's to be responsible for a life that's gone off track who's the one who
must be there to see it gets put back where were you to hear the cries of a
person in need were you there to see the signs or were you too busy

Who's the cause, who's the blame for a life that's not worth living is it parents,
family who take without giving so next time that you close your eyes and choose
to shift the blame remember you can save a life so really who's to blame?!

10. Violent Solutions

Lurking in the shadows
Hidden from the light
Admist the degredation
His thirst for blood arise
The quest for carnal pleasures
The growing need for flesh
Senseless brutal beatings
Phsycotic lust is fed

Maliciously tortured ripped to shreds
Innocent victims killed by death
Frenzied thrashings dreched in blood
Fleeting screams you have succumb

Up from wretched alleys
Strewn with shards of glass
Burning eyes of hatred
All sign of life be gone
Mission maim, destruction
Mauled and scarred to death
Return to darkened alleys
To rise and kill again

Maliciously tortured ripped to shreds
Innocent victims killed by death
Frenzied thrashings dreched in blood
Fleeting screams you have succumb

Cast into poverty
To live amongst the dead
Skid row life of hoplessness
Fuels hatred of mankind
Release of cruel emotions
Takes from homicide
No answer to his question
Violent solutions abide

Maliciously tortured ripped to shreds
Innocent victims killed by death
Frenzied thrashings dreched in blood
Fleeting screams you have succumb

11. War Pigs

оригинал: Black Sabbath

Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerers of death's construction
In the fields the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds, oh lord yeah!
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor
Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait 'till their judgement day comes, yeah!
Now in darkness, world stops turning
As the war machine keeps burning
No more war pigs of the power
Hand of god has sturck the hour
Day of judgement, god is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
ALL RIGHT NOW!

12. Death Squad

Putting to dead those who oppose you
Will take control, no matter the cost
Bodies are mounting the carnage around you
At the last count, 10.000 have died

Taken by force
Controlled by fear
Death squad police of the right
Must stamp out subversion
Dissention, unrest
Those who oppose will meet death

Automatic weapons in hand
You say you're what the police want
Why must you kill them to secure their vote
Death squad escort them to the polls

Puppet regime with you at the head
You've rid them of a communist threat
Your brand of "democracy" is now in control
And all of your people lie dead

Taken by force
Controlled by fear
Death squad police of the right
Must stamp out subversion
Dissention, unrest
Those who oppose will meet death

"Democracy" at any cost
The methods of freedom unclear
Right-wing radicals, abusing control
The choice will be democracy of death

13. Surf Nicaragua

I know a place
Where you're all going to go
They'll pay you to kill
If You're eighteen years old
First You'll need a haircut
And then some new clothes
They'll stick you in a jungle
To play G.I. Joe

You fight for democracy
And the "American Way"
But you're not in your country
"What am I doing here?" you say
But now it's too late
You're entering Managua
If you had brought your surfboard
You could surf Nicaragua

What is this we're fighting for
What's our ultimate goal
To force our ideas
Right down their throats
American Intervention
Grows Deeper Everyday
The situation worsens
More soldiers on the way

You fight for democracy
And the "American Way"
But you're not in your country
"What am I doing here?" you say
But now it's too late
You're entering Managua
If you had brought your surfboard
You could surf Nicaragua

Lessons we have learned
Are easy to forget
Hints of viet-nam
How soon we all forget
First we send advisors
And then go the troops
Another worthless conflict
Another Chance to lose

You fight for democracy
And the "American Way"
But you're not in your country
"What am I doing here?" you say
But now it's too late
You're entering Managua
If you had brought your surfboard
You could surf Nicaragua
