Multinational Corporations

multinational corporations
genocide of the starving nations


Instinct of Survival

advertise the product you make
never give but always take
kill and lie for security
your shit on the supermarket
shelves to see

instinct of survival

advertise the product you make
never give and always take
clingfilmed flesh and genocide
a contented life while millions die

instinct of survival

the multinational corporation
makes its profits from the starving nations
indigenous people become their slaves
from their births into their graves

the multinational corporation
takes its profits from the starving nations
another product for you to buy
you'll keep on paying untill you die


The Kill

there's nothing to gain
you have just been led

the kill, after death, the kill

the shit you were promised
means nothing now you're dead

the kill, after death, the kill


Scum

in your mind
nothing but fear
you can't face life
or believe death's near

a vision of life
on television screens
an existance created
from empty dreams

hide behind tv
hide behind life
you should be living
but you only survive

life holds nothing
but pain and death
but don't look for love
there is none left


Caught....in a dream

surrounding spectacle
to occupy curiosity
nullifies the need
to face reality

forms of escapism
and entertainment
occupy and disable thought


Poluted Minds

they not only pollute the air
they pollute our minds
they're destroying the earth
and destroying mankind

polluted minds
kill mankind

they don't give a shit
long as profits are high
they don't give a shit
if people die

polluted minds
kill mankind


Sacrifice

i've been deceived
by my friends
and this is where
our `friendship' ends

sacrificed, sacrificed
sacrificed, your soul sacrificed

the thoughts i had
are now denied
and one day soon
i hope you die


Siege of Power

siege of power
in your land
too many problems
for you to understand

siege of power
inside your mind
outward restrictions
to keep you in line

siege of power - in your land
too many problems - for you to understand
a slave of their power - you never question why
you're going to suffer - you're going to die

siege of power - inside your mind
outside restrictions - to keep you in line
you're a slave of their power - you never question why
you were made to suffer - you were born to die

siege of power
they made you a tool
while others were ruling
you were being ruled


Control

there is a fascist
inside of you
controlling your life
and what you do

fascist control

there is a fascist
inside your head
controlling your thoughts
untill your death

fasscist control


Born On Your Knees

born on your knees
life in chains
a slow death
into your graves

born on your knees

born on your knees
life of pain
existence restricted
by material gains

born on your knees
you fucking asshole

born on your knees
conditioned blind
crawling of death
revenge for your crime

born on your knees

born on your knees
from the womb torn
live in chains
and die as you were born

born on your knees


Human Garbage

payed to obey
forced to be silent

human garbage
to be destroyed

submit to darkness
forced to conform

human garbage
to be destroyed

your mind is dead
your thoughts are void

human garbage
to be destroyed


You Suffer

you suffer
but why?


Life?

brought into this emptyness
never hope nor choice
emotionless and cold
this is life?

illusions shattered
an existence of lies
a constant struggle
freedom denied

at their feet - submission
no sanctuary in death
drugged up, fucked up
is that all you're worth


Prison without walls

trapped - inside your head
insular, living dead

existing for a purpose you'll never find
inducements, distortions command your mind

external sources maintain control
programmed existence, furfil your role

you've got a brain, shake of the reins
smash the shackles, break the chains


Point of no Return

systematic rape of nature
profit precedes need
maintaining economic stature
steal the fruit yet leave no seed

and our future generations?
what of their inheritance
a world of contamination
poisoned by our ignorance

oblivious to reality
conscience spurned
beyond the point of no return


Negative Approach

nothing i can say
that hasn't already been said
generic words and thoughts
similarly expressed

this primitive stance
feeling of angst
matters relating
to circumstance

"unfounded actions -
just part of the faction"
conform? i would't give you
the satisfaction


Success

climb the ladder, your securety
upward social mobility

consume the lies "it's what you need"
vicious circle of mindless greed

where is the success gained from?
what of the lives you've shat upon?
caught in the web you'll play the game
an artificial life but who's to blame


Deceiver

becoming weary of your lies
you disguise the truth belies

only fooling yourself

pretend to bite the hand that feeds
but you won't discard your security

the transparancy of your fantasy


C.S. (Conservative Shithead)

eminent
arrogant
ignorant
affluent
dedensitised
devoid and blind

all compassion nullified

paragon of virtue
(paragon of shit)


Parasite

permissive slaves
to their methods of greed
from our needs
the leeches feed

when will you see?
we'll never be free
while we sanction
this plutocracy


Pseudo Youth

same predetermined
pattern, game, rules

uniformity
conformity
how long can you hide the truth

now you've settled down
reflected on the past
the pose, the look,
the stance all part of the act


Divine Death

cleansing impurity
seisure of insecurity

divine death

individuality disabled
blinded by fables

divine death

easy prey
you will pay
mourn life's loss
rotting on that cross

divine death


As the Machine Rolls on.....

hiding behind symbols
self delusion
plenty of questions
(and no solutions)

visions of change
a mere illusion
futile dreams
of revolution

flows of rhetoric
won't influence the change
their will is subdued
their minds enslaved


Common Enemy

bitching
backbiting
senseless in fighting

"united we stand
divided we fall"
a common enemy that overshadows us all


Moral Crusade

superiority complex
pious, holy to the hilt
outward displays cleanliness
masking inner feelings of hate and guilt

your morality is hypocrisy
your obsessive self esteem
enforcing your ideals
your puritanical dream

gather your flock
gullible fools
dictate restrictions


Stigmatised

blissfully ignorant
content and unaware
not your problem
why should you care?

not normal
an easy target for release
infected from birth
this sickening disease

you sanctimonious slime
understanding discarded
the truth is clear
it's you that's retarded


M.A.D.

stark, bleak, wasted
devastated

when?

all life
totally annihilated

die!

does it have to be this way?
is this the price we're gonna' to pay?


Dragnet

the ascension of human intelligence
to atomic genocide

homo sapience = the disease, the cause, the pollution
erase the aeons of evolution

pushed too far, just a matter of time
seemingly nothing to hold the tide....

.... except the end - accept the end?
