[Solo: Rick] Destruction is my goal Care for no one at all Death calls I've killed before And you won't be my last That's for sure Life of pain and I'm to blame Broken families Shattered dreams All because of me Can't you see Blinded by the white You can't see the light Not tonight Life of pain and I'm to blame And now I've got you hooked Take another look At yourself Lost your home and pride You can't win the fight You're not too bright Life of pain and I'm to blame And you put to shame [Chorus:] Running scared no where to turn I've got you now your going to burn You've watched your life pass you by The life you lead is one big lie [Solo: Chris] [Repeat Chorus] Destruction is my goal Care for no one at all Death calls I've killed before And you won't be my last That's for sure Life of pain and I'm to blame Broken families Shattered dreams All because of me Can't you see Blinded by the white You can't see the light Not tonight Life of pain and I'm to blame And now I've got you hooked Take another look At yourself Lost your home and pride You can't win the fight You're not too bright Life of pain and I'm to blame And you put to shame

Your life begins at 17, you enlist with Uncle Sam Trained for battle, prepared to die, you don't give a damn. Your weapon is your life and love shooting the enemy down. Killing women and children and everyone around First fought for freedom now for pleasure, you've become obsessed Never feel at ease until you're laid to rest Sergeant tells you and you carry out his every command. No return from this life you're on the 4 year plan. [Chorus:] Born to kill There's no retreat Live to fight A Killing machine Politicians play a deadly game now you play it too Once you die, you're forgotten they'll find somebody new Seeing through different eyes much better than the old Block out all the needless carnage your heart grows cold Stripped of your humanity, no choice but to obey Turned into a predator, civilians are your prey [Repeat Chorus] [1st solo: Chris] [2nd solo: Rick] Seeing through different eyes much better than the old Block out all the needless carnage your heart grows cold Stripped of your humanity, no choice but to obey Turned into a predator, civilians are your prey Politicians play a deadly game now you play it too Once you die, you're forgotten they'll find somebody new [Repeat Chorus] [Solo: Rick]

Always put others down, passing out the blame Ignorance and your attitude make you all the same Never try to befriend, never lend a hand Draw so many barriers, I'll never understand [Chorus:] Why won't you listen Why can't you hear I guess your scene won't let you Is change what you fear? You say your scene preaches individuality The more I see the more I know that's not reality I walk into your parties, I guess I don't look right No one even talks to me, no one meets my sight What makes me so different, so much I can't fit in Is having different hair and clothes such a mortal sin Tell me what's wrong with me I'd really like to know I'm trying to be your friend not another foe [Repeat chorus] [Solo: Rick] Always put others down, passing out the blame Ignorance and your attitude make you all the same Never try to befriend, never lend a hand Draw so many barriers, I'll never understand You say your scene preaches individuality The more I see the more I know that's not reality I walk into your parties, I guess I don't look right No one even talks to me, no one meets my sight [Repeat chorus]

[Solo: Chris] Throughout our troubled history man's exploited fellow man. Displaying xenophobic fear that's hard to understand Centuries ago in Europe things were different than today Foreigners were treated with respect not disdain But dreams of power soon crushed this fine ideal They set across the ocean in search of land to steal They subjugated natives and they stripped them of their rights Sold them into slavery to demonstrate their might. Socialized hate Formed by modern state [Chorus:] Can't you see, it's a lie Don't you know, that they've died Trapped, by your hate Stereotyped, convenient Forced to be subservient Taught by your state Can't you see, it's a lie Don't you know, that they've died Trapped, by your hate Stereotyped, convenient Forced to be subservient Taught by your state All you pseudo-christians had yet to have your fun You called them all subhuman justifying what you'd done You sold them into slavery, every last one that you could I guess that's only natural when you say it's in their blood Soon the racist theory spread to every colony The crimes that you committed were for everyone to see Depleted all their hunting grounds and chopped down hallowed woods Set your plantations on the land where they once stood [Chorus:] Socialized hate Formed by modern state Can't you see, it's a lie Don't you know, that they've died Trapped, by your hate Stereotyped, convenient Forced to be subservient Taught by your state Can't you see, it's a lie Don't you know, that they've died Trapped, by your hate Stereotyped, convenient Forced to be subservient Taught by your state [Solo: Rick] The hatred that you planted is still with us today No longer simply slavery manifests in different ways Keeps people in dead end jobs, reduces education Maintain our racial stereotypes, encourages segregation You propagate injustice saying they've done it to themselves You lock them in your ghettos, Deny them any wealth The dogma you've created makes sure you never see That underneath a different color they're just like you and me Socialized hate Formed by modern state

Our land, our home, America the free Our vote decides the future can't you see Their aim to serve, and protect what is theirs Too much at stake to let others have their share The world is more than colors black and red Profit and gain mean little to those dead While you cut corners to maximize your gain Your lack of caring sends young men to their graves [Chorus:] Spend all our money on functionless weapons They never care what they cost I guess it's too bad it only works on paper It's our lives not theirs that are lost The truth is that we're powerless to change The joke that the pentagons became To win a war is the last thing on their mind Career advancement is the main thing you will find 500 million dollars every day Drains the resources from projects such as AIDS Our poor go hungry in cities across the states Defense contractors steal the food right off their plates [Chorus:] [Solo: Rick] [Repeat 1st verse] [Repeat chorus] [Solo: Chris]

The sun is down, the lights go on A glass and concrete hell The beast aroused, begins to prowl Aware of every smell He notes perfume in the air Sees footprints in the dust Woman's blood upon the ground A victim of his lust [Chorus:] He can't resist their call His night will be their last Sworn to have them all A product of the past Beaten at an early age A scared and confused child Fierce revenge on womanhood Makes mother's wrath seem mild Every night tortured sleep No one there to care Outcast of society Trapped inside his lair [Repeat chorus] [1st solo: Rick] [2nd solo: Chris] Something more than animal Yet something less than man Striking fear in women's hearts A sick and twisted plan Stalking every unlit street Searching for his prey Stranger to compassion Now violence is his way [Repeat chorus]

Work your ass off every day Nothing do you own Sold your soul to the system Another fucking clone Never ask for nothing Yet you gave and gave Now you're trapped Ambitions shattered Another mindless slave [Chorus:] You never asked for anything And that's exactly what you got They never cared for you They're glad to see you rot Nothing's really yours It's only mortgages and leases When you die Then you rest in pieces Line their pockets with your labor You go home in debt Your children die from malnutrition Your bosses never wept They justify the life you lead A life that's full of pain You were born to serve your master Your caste revealed by name [Repeat chorus] [Solo: Rick] Sick of their oppression You come to take what's yours Rip their hearts from their bodies Their blood pools on the floor A smile plays across your lips Their life breath slowly ceases Leave their mansion a free man As they rest in pieces [Repeat chorus]

Man builds his world, forms it from rock, steel and clay His view of nature is that it stands in the way Visions of profit dance in every landlords head 13 in two rooms, four in every bed [Chorus:] Man-made paradise Falls into decay Desperate humans Trapped in their own cage Look out the window not a tree to be seen They just block traffic, man is forced to intervene Hiding in darkness, fearing for his life Man's lost compassion but has replaced it with a knife [Chorus:] [First solo: Chris] [Second solo: Rick] Desperate children turn to drugs for their fun Bodies inhabit the morgue claimed by no one Hiding in shadows, their lives reduced to a lie Freedom forgotten, no one hears your cry [Repeat chorus]
