Every single one of us survive at the expense of other living things. Although our very existence contradicts our effects our struggle is still relevant in relieving the burdens that we create, but our involvment is based on individual beliefs and ambitions. Hope needs to be nurtured, compassion and understanding will not grow out of scrutiny. Encouragement and tolerance is the only way that activism will evolve from indifference. (This was your life) Conditioning is simple and you keep it that way Ignorance is bliss when you stay stale and stagnant Too old to care and too little to matter Anarchy is now 9 to 5, wallet's a bit fatter Once full of piss and vinegar now full of shit and dope Freedom isn't easy I guess you couldn't cope You gave into the pressure someone greased your hand Just remain passive it's the safest place to stand So to your feelings stay immune And the bullshit they feed you, continue to consume Consume We've got ways of keeping you in line Keeping you numb, dumb, and weak Things to keep your mind off of us So intimidated that you dare not speak You fucking know that we police the street We know who to watch, we know how to beat We know what you do and where you go We'll dress like you and go to your shows To sell you the shit that destroys your brain That you snort up your nose or shoot in your vein We'll start a riot at your police brutality benefit And keep it from spreading contain the threat Until you destroy yoursevles, defeat yourselves, Burn yourselves and kill yourselves We'll put a McDonald's on every street That's where you'll work, that's where you'll eat For minimum wage, for student wage For poverty and malnutrition And we'll stock your grocery store shelves full of shit And keep it open for a couple of years before we torch it That's simply the way it's going to be so get used to it Get used to it if you're going to take our shit So don't try to protest or organize Because we're too fucking strong, don't you realize That we keep you fighting amongst yourselves, we keep you seperate And without unity you'll be no threat We keep pointing the finger at you and you Never really knowing who turns the screw And now you're trapped like a rat on a sinking ship And it's sinking fast so get used to it Get used to it you're going to take our shit All you'll get is what we'll fucking let Your college campus with your liberal views An education or your head in a noose And after you graduate where will you go You'll have nowhere to live and nothing to show Come put on a suit and come work for us You'll become everything you hate and all you disgust You'll forget who you were, what you did, and what you stood for You'll be trapped in your office You'll be trapped in traffic You'll be trapped in your home You'll be trapped in your church You'll be trapped in your mind Trapped like rats on the same sinking ship Trapped again and getting used to it And when you grow old with your husband or with your wife You'll be used to it, you'll be used to it And to think that your whole fucking life You took our shit Capitalism is responsible for the lifestyle you've enjoyed Who cares about the people slain be thankful you're employed It's not about comsumer choice, it's not about convenience It's not about the billions made, it's all about indifference So lay your trust upon us it's your quality of life we'll enhance Realize the benefits and the fact that without us you don't stand a chance We've built dependence upon a structure that you have to trust So if you try to destory our system we're going to take you with us The public relations industry studies our every move Constantly advising corporations how they can improve Their profits, their monopolies, their uncompromising growth And how to beed the consumer for everything they're worth Their wealth exists off of our labor and our willingness to consume Manipulated by every medium the public just assume That their innocent, unbiased forums exist solely to entertain While the industries we work for are just out to reclaim The wages they've paid us to produce the markets demands Every cent we've ever earned makes it back into their hands Enhancing their wealth, enhancing their claim, achieving their domination Maintaining their power, maintaining their reign, they're gaining from exploitaton Sacrificing humanity for the good of industry Is the fault the result of them or our own stupidity Do they possess that much influence over everything we do Are the consequences of our actions ever really thought through Do we truly understand how one person can make a difference By developing individual thought free from outside interference Our own struggle for survival comples us to drop it Should our compassion be cashed in for profit When you are the victim of your government's attack It should only be natural to want to fight back But when they've relentlessly progammed you your entire existence We tried to make a difference but what have we actually achieved Have we put up any obstacles or just helped them to succeed Have we constructed any bridges or just built another wall Have our beliefs and our ideals accomplished anything at all Have we ever caused our leaders to change a single thing Have we ever been a threat or just puppets on a string Have we wasted all of our time painting pictures for the blind While we've created isolation have we changed a single mind Have we had enought sense to learn from our mistakes Are we prepared for personal sacrifices no matter what it takes Are we willing to work together putting differences aside Or is compormise too much to rish damaging our pride Do we have enough hope to still find trust in someone else Do we have the compassion to fight the problems that don't directly affect ourselves Have we ever stood a chance or have our efforts been naive Have we bought into their lies of what they tell us to believe It still is your option what path to choose Don't let the only change yo make be in your views Like if you can't fight everything why bother to try You can learn from the hypocracies you used to deny Is it all a charade or do you actually mean it Do your ideals only surface when it's politically convenient You're stuck in society's trap and although you're tryin to cope If you can't change yourself, you'll lose more than just hope So the next time you're down on your knees just remember The plight of the oppressed ends with the oppressor And if it's easier for you to live under that oppression They they've already got you as their possession

Saturated with sex stereotypes gender roles reinforce inferiority Exploiting anatomy, exploiting sexuality, preying on insecurities Force fed proper mannerisms, treated different from the date of birth Raised as men's servants who should never question their own sense of worth Conditioning children with anorexic plastic of 'perfect' feminine traits Learning how to hide any blemishes, meeting standards men create Painting flesh like painting a picture that subliminally suggests To equally conditioned men that women are just there for sex Striving to achieve the super model image the media project Spending countless hours enhancing a look instead of self respect Eating disorders insuring beauty and endangering health When living life behind a mask you cant expect to know yourself When women are taught one way to act and men are taught another The ability to accept and tolerate is absent from each other Without understanding or communication the result too often is Bigotry by ignorance unintended prejudice Any man that would treat a woman as property you keep is nothing but an ignorant bigot that can only see skin deep having a relationship of inequality, treating a woman as a possession taking advantage of devotion using emotions as a weapon violating another's personal rights as if they never mattered every day that begins with this conditioning ends with another woman battered taught how to act, taught how to think taught how to feel, told by another gender sexist appeal dehumanizes women molding an image making the body more important then what the person is taught to pretend, taught to please taught to conceal, told that you must surrender sexist appeal demoralizes men, distoriting their view making the body the most important part to pursue initiating a chase that relies on deception hoping persistant efforts will overcome rejection conditioned by images lusting for sex haunting men's thoughts of who they'll bed next taught how to act, taught how to think taught how to feel, told by another gender sexist appeal dehumanizes women by abusing sexuality another person's body shouldn't be viewed as a trophy taught to pretend, taught to please taught how to feel, told that you must surrender sexist appeal demoralizes men, encouraging rape another persons body is never for anyone else to take treating a fellow person without any respect condemning behavior as if the woman asked for it society's distorted our judgement with what they suggest why take no for an answer when no really means yes Adrienne we've heard it all so many times before stop treating women like some trashy cheap whore or a virgin that must lead to a sterile life a surrogate mother under the disguise of the word wife they make the rules but yet they don't play fair forcing sexual stereotypes that make us all aware of every single one of our failures in the eyes of society telling me that I'm not quite what I'm supposed to be I'm not married with two children or single with a career I'm not drowning in some mortagage or living in financial fear I don't cower as I walk home all alone throughout the streets I refuse to be treated like a piece of trumped up meat I turn away from the billboards that extol the latest fad Of looking like a junkie in the Calvin Klein ad Now its time to get beyond all of our rage and pointing fingers To see through the lies no matter how much it lingers Dave As long as I can remember ive been a victim of mans lies And in turn ive victimized women through ignorant naive eyes When overlooking personality in the person im seeing Then my attraction becomes the exploitation of another human being In my heart I know equality but conditioning affects my brain So without complete understanding oppression will remain For as enlightened as I may consider myself I still have much to learn And since actually achieving equality still is a concern I must open my mind to the opinions that women would suggest Because theyre the ones who understand sexual oppression best As a man im part of the problem that's something I must accept Unless through education I can evolve towards a mutual respect Everyone of us should realize how our struggle now relates And how as equals we can destroy what society dictates We can hopefully find a way to respectfully co-exist And then eliminate the biggest prejudice that exists Because this is not about man vs. woman or woman vs. man but human to human as we struggle to understand were living life suspiciously believing there's no one we can trust they're dividing the population the system is destroying us profiting from this division and the line of thinking that's been bought if equality is ever to exist we have to unlearn what we've been taught bigotry by ignorance unintended prejudice

"Honey, I've made a terrible mistake. I've given you my role I gave up leading this family and forced you to take my place. Now I must reclaim my role. I'm not asking you, I'm telling. You must submit for the survival of our family and our culture. Remember, God wants you to." Surrender to your rightful keepers do it for our Lord A life of holy servitude is women's just reward Have faith in all of our promises surrender yourselves to men And when you get to heaven, you'll be a servant once again The promise keepers are on a mission, the conversion of a nation But only by total submission will women find salvation They justify spiritual slavery by claiming it's God's will They're trying to ensure oppression through legislative bills Dave Wardell wants you to do it-surrender-submit Bill McCartney want you to do it-surrender-submit Jesus Christ wants you to do it-surrender-submit God wants you to do it-surrender-submit We're second only to God when it comes to absolute authority It's your duty as God-fearing Christians to help cleanse society Submit all aspects of your life for us to review When it's family, business or sexuality we'll tell you what to do Souls are held for ransom by The Religious Right Securing what they believe to be the politics of Christ They instill the fear of God by threatening the masses So their homophobic, anti-woman lobby platform passes Tony Brown wants you to do it-surrender-submit Steve Chavis wants you to do it-surrender-submit Jesus Christ wants you to do it-surrender-submit God wants you to do it-surrender-submit Never have 300,000 men come together throughout history, Except for the purpose of war, We'll start with homosexuality Then it's women, abortion, sinners, and secularism All are subject to our political and spiritual exorcisms Stealing away human right while worshipers applaud All because they're threatened by the tyranny of God The only promises these bigoted men will keep Is the exploitation of a nation of mere sheep Pat Robertson wants you to do it-surrender-submit James Kennedy wants you to do it-surrender-submit Bill Bright wants you to do it-surrender-submit James Dobson wants you to do it-surrender-submit Jim Berlucci wants you to do it-surrender-submit James Ryle wants you to do it-surrender-submit Jesus Christ wants you to do it-surrender-submit And your God wants you to do it-surrender-submit

Thiry thousand auto workers have gone to work to find That they've been downsized from the assembly to the unemployment line The employed seeking job security content with what employers give Thinning out the job market keeps the workers competitive The upper one percent receive the tax breaks, social program cut's commence Educational funds take a back seat to America's defense These education cuts are an investment in the prison industry An occupational restructuring towards a slave labor economy The chance of survival on death row disappears, their right to appeal is deprived Worker strength and solidarity depletes with union officials bribed Raising taxes to build sports stadiums while the homeless are ignored Refusing to supply the health care benefits most people can't afford The newly founded citizen review boards' members are all police The gap widens between the cost of living and the inflation increase Those in power own the media machine it's the vehicle to their views They bury all of their corruption under fluff reported news They bombard us with statistics to influence public opinion The more ridiculous the lie the more people seem to listen It's the people with no money that are responsible for the rest of us being poor We'll just eliminate the welfare system to even up the score Our conditions never improve no matter how many programs we stop The money always seems to circulate back to the people at the top The occasional whining criticisms keep the public satisfied The rest are busy escaping reality with drugs the CIA supplied It's always the most oppressed who easily fall victim to ignorance Even with all that they've been through they still pledge allegiance To their country and flag that has caused all of their grievous pain Patriotism leads to nationalism which in turn proceeds to fascism Poor and working-class people are the tools of sick corporate perseverance Shit on little puppets exploited in the trials of human dominance But still the pride goes on blindly and in so-called freedom they gloat Waving the flag but cursing the politicians they think they elect when they vote Behind the trails of our peacekeepers lie the dying and the dead There are millions of starving children that are waiting to be fed Because executive orders demand that economic sanctions are applied If they'd have bowed down to our pressure, relief may have just arrived As the worlds only superpower we rule without regret We don't let these children survive and grow up to be a threat Love of this country is based on nothing but the fear of living somewhere worse And gratitude shouldn't be the reaction to someone else being slaughtered first

Who are the biggest recipients of the institution of public assistance Who's bled the taxpayers of countless funds since our welfare system's existence What group has always been the biggest freeloading welfare whore Our leaders claim single mothers, minorities, immigrants and the poor So they've cut the funding to all of these groups while real recipients hide Telling the public that by their actions they've eliminated the free ride They're going to have to work or starve there's no way left to cheat No chance of generous government handouts except for the corporate elite What as given to single mothers didn't compare With the amount of money given for corporate welfare When the option is companies or people who are we going to feed Cut the corporate welfare, no more suffering for their greed What they've tried to keep a secret and what we need to understand Is that the welfare system wasn't meant to lend a helping hand It's just another government safety net to help the rich succeed Prioritizing aid on a scale of power instead of actual financial need Are they so concerned with our welfare as they're taking children off it To give money to corporations so the helping hand can share the profit While people are cited as statistical scapegoats in an effort to confuse Every one of us has paid the price for the welfare corporations to use What was given to minorities With the amount of money given for corporate welfare When the option is companies or people who are we going to feed? Cut the corporate welfare, no more suffering for their greed Are we as a people as naive that we believed their helping hand sincere Devouring our social programs they've made their intentions crystal clear Our survival doesn't compare with the need for corporate dominance Stealing food from the mouths of people, with an inflated sense of self-importance The trusting, obedient taxpayers are being fucked by their politicians Paying for the privilege of being robbed by a system that never listens If they're genuinely trying to relieve the burden with all the cuts they've made Then why didn't their cuts include the funds provided for corporate aid What was given to immigrants didn't compare With the amount of money given for corporate welfare When the option is companies or people who are we going to feed? Cut the corporate welfare, no more suffering for their greed

Xenophobia 02:30
Restricting immigration won't solve this country's problems The refugees are only our leaders scapegoats Bigoted politicians claim that immigration is unemployment's source So the INS are given unending power to enforce The restrictions regulated by immigrants descendants Who project open border policies as national resentments Unwilling to provide the same opportunities they've been given To desperate refugees whose passage has been forbidden By a government who's often responsible for their countries situation But they just intensify the suffering by restricting immigration Denying immigrants from crossing a line They're closing the borders like they've closed their minds Regardless of citizenship we're all the same No human is illegal like governments claim Exploiting foreign markets with capitalisms principles NAFTA was created to benefit the multinationals Big business cuts their expenses with their sweatshop wage Keeping foreign labor in an economical cage They've created the incentive to ship the jobs out of this country Making Americans more receptive to minimum wage and bigotry The government maintains approval when their fault remains concealed They'll just find another scapegoat after they pass the anti-immigration bill Denying immigrants from crossing a line They're closing the borders like they've closed their minds Regardless of citizenship we're all the same No human is illegal like the governments claim Creating xenophobia is another tactic in which our leaders have managed To redirect blame to someone other than themselves or big business The media lap up the reports of increasing poverty, unemployment, welfare and Government aid supposedly caused by refugees while largely ignoring the Countless reports of rapes, beating, and general harassment by the INS and US border patrols Not to mention American servicemen Actually crossing the Mexican border to rape women or New York police Officers gang-raping a Haitian immigrant with a plunger These atrocities Occur because xenophobia has instilled the thinking that refugees are Problems and not people...Xenophobia kills Patriotism plants the seeds of ignorance and hate Destroying the people and all compassion to protect the state Every person is entitled to live, no human should be banned It only benefits the wealthy to own a piece of land It only divides the people by the borders, by the countries It's only another obstacle blocking any chance of equality We've got to smash their walls our efforts must persist We've got to wake the people up to see what they've dismissed People are not expendable, government is People are not expendable, government is People are not expendable, government is People are not expendable, government is
