Whiskey shots to drown my soul You know I'm trying to forget how to feel Isolation claws at my eyes and the walls are closing in Distant voices are hushed to a whisper not audible to most The ashtray, it overflows yet I don't seem to care Because my hands begin to tremble I surely need my fix I take that shot of whiskey upon my crucifix A warm sensation comes over me and I dream my life away A thought pops up inside my head: I'll die another day I'll go to sleep and then wake up and live that same old shit I'll do my drugs until they are gone and then I will throw that fit So for now I will just get high and when I run out I will just want to die I'll hold my breath and wait for death and wish I was somewhere else Because my hands begin to tremble I surely need my fix I stab the needle in the vein upon my crucifix A warm sensation comes over me and I dream my life away A thought pops up inside my head: I'll die another day

The Consumer 02:49
This morning I woke up and pissed away all my money I bet that you probably did too See there was a sale on something I didn't need or want And now I'm haunted by the ghosts inside my empty wallet I am a consumer and the advertising trapped me The wrappers were so colorful and the deals just got inside my head But then I got home a realized just what I'd done I thought back could I really have been that dumb I vowed that I would stop that moment I don't even consume for my own enjoyment Because those CEO's own me Yeah those CEO's own me Those CEO's own me And I hate them so much Everything I do and want is so very nonchalant because all I do is slave away recording my own decay by counting all the bills I make and living a life that's fake so someday I can live alone paying taxes on a home that I just can't afford... no I just can't afford it Because those CEO's own me Yeah those CEO's own me Those CEO's own me And I hate them so god damn fucking much

Lady Mary Killigrew had a wicked pirate crew She sailed across the english channel and fought through some epic battles All the while they were chased by Mary's husband with such haste Because he was hired by the queen to banish all the pirates seen But when he left to do his job Mary hired a pirate mob They stole a ship from the Germans They sailed and sailed they were determined They sold it to the Irish people but they knew it was illegal So Lady Mary was arrested but no one knew she was protected But when it came her time to die the queen and jury turned a blind eye There must have been some back room deal cause this verdict just seems unreal Out of the blue Lady Mary Killigrew Pirating across that sea Stealing treasure from you and from me

Columbus 03:44
When I was growing up I thought Columbus was a hero Because we celebrated him every October And in school they tried to make him out to be the man But then I grew up and I did not understand Why the fuck do we think he's the man? He raped and tortured and stole across this land He inspired others to do the same Pizarro thought it was just a game So he enslaved all the people and then he called it Spain He called it Spain So fuck fuck fuck conquistadores Raping women and breaking down doors Here's to all the towns they set on fire So fuck fuck fuck Hernan Cortez And all of the fucking rest They were just a bunch of dirty liars Because they stole the land they stole the food Killed most of the people enslaved them too And then they called it saving the planet Because you aren't even people No you don't have a soul, you have no soul Because I sent a letter to the queen telling her your all obscene And now she thinks you are not human Just savages an heart eaters So fuck fuck fuck Hernan Cortez And all of the fucking rest They were just a bunch of dirty liars So fuck fuck fuck conquistadores Raping women and breaking down doors Here's to all the towns they set on fire

Insect 02:30
I am the insect The one you call reject Antennas probe at nothing Wasting away A slave to society But I pretend to resist I walk in this line and struggle to survive Working for some greater good Isn’t that what we are doing Or at least that’s what we tell ourselves So we don’t feel so bad So bad Well I take orders from someone Who got their orders from someone I don’t even know Why should I trust them But then again I am the insect The one you call reject Antennas probe at nothing Wasting away A slave to society But I pretend to resist I walk in this line and struggle to survive Working for some greater good Isn’t that what we are doing Or at least that’s what we tell ourselves So we don’t feel so bad So bad

V 02:33
They say that life's a game and then they take the board away Yes life's a game and then they take the dice away But again, truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty You need only look into a mirror you're full of fear But I, just like god, do not believe in coincidences And I don't play with those fucking dice Oh no So remember, remember the 5th of November Of gunpowder treason and plot I see no reason why gunpowder treason should ever be forgot It's the eve of revolution so please won't you dance with me Because a revolution without dancing is no revolution to me This country needs more than just a building It needs hope and freedom for all But you're never going to find all that freedom On the shelves of the shopping mall So remember, remember the 5th of November Of gunpowder treason and plot I see no reason why gunpowder treason should ever be forgot People should not be afraid of their governments Yeah governments should be afraid of their people So fill up your flask and put on your mask And I'll see you in November So remember, remember the 5th of November Of gunpowder treason and plot I see no reason why gunpowder treason should ever be forgot

There’s no such thing as a hero There’s no such thing as a con So don’t you ever tell me what I’m doing is wrong There’s no such thing as good There’s no such thing as evil There’s no such thing as better fucking people We all suck We’re all mean We don’t work as a fucking team We are greedy We’re all lazy Sometimes I think we’re all pretty crazy But that would imply that sanity’s a real thing and it’s not There’s no such thing as us There’s no such thing as them But division lines are drawn time and time and time again There’s no such thing as light There’s no such thing as dark So let’s tear down these borders and go back to the start We all lie We all hate But somehow we all think we’re fucking great We all steal We all fight But somehow we all think we’re fucking right But that would imply that being wrong’s a real thing and it’s not There’s no such thing as heaven There’s no such thing as hell No gods or devils I hope that you can tell There’s no such thing as saints There’s no such thing as sinners So don’t call me a loser cuz there’s nothing called a winner We’re all stupid We’re all hateful And I think we are all pretty wasteful We need help We’re all crossed Yes I think we are all very lost But that would imply that there’s a real way to go and there’s not

Well tonight I got drunk and sang my heart out to no one But this aint different just another fucking re run Tomorrow I’ll get drunk again Sing until I bleed and then Pass out on the floor right where I stand But tonight I’ll get drunk and sing my heart out to no one But this aint ending no it’s only just begun Tonight I will pick up that pen Write a stupid song and then Maybe I’ll feel better for a change But what is the point of music? If no one will hear it So I’ll share these songs with you In the hopes that we won’t feel so blue So tonight we’ll get drunk and sing our hearts out together And maybe someday soon we’ll sound much better Tomorrow let’s meet up again Sing another song and then Fall asleep holding each other close But tonight I got drunk and sang my heart out to no one But this aint different just another fucking re run Tomorrow I’ll get drunk again Sing until I bleed and then Pass out on the floor right where I stand But what is the point of music? If no one will hear it So I’ll share these songs with you In the hopes that we won’t feel so blue

I can’t describe the feeling or the terror in my eye I woke up this morning and felt like I should die Cuz I have been misplaced and I don’t know what to do All of these thoughts in my head: Why am I stuck on you? See I didn’t get to say goodbye to all of my good friends Now everyone is telling me that they were just dead ends They want me to move on and leave my friends behind Go off to college think of the jobs I’ll find The jobs I’ll find So take me away from here And get me the fuck right out of here I can’t describe the feeling or the terror in my heart I’m locked up with emotions and don’t know where to start I just know this isn’t home at all and I sure feel alone No one to talk to: a dog without a bone So I’ll sit here in the corner singing songs just to myself And when I write another one I’ll throw it on that shelf Until the day I leave here I will sing until I die And on the day that happens notice the terror in my eye So take me away from here And get me the fuck right out of here I can’t describe the feeling of not doing what your told Living your own standard yeah fuck all of the old But this life is truly yours so you should take it as you will And do what you need to embrace that every thrill So fuck all of your colleges I need to get away I just want to travel and that’s all I’m going to say So let’s chase that sunset off into the West Until we find ourselves our own birds nest So we can settle, but will we ever really settle? No I don’t think so: We won’t ever settle down So take me away from here And get me the fuck right out of here

Burn all the books and burn all the lies Burn the corruption in their eyes Burn all the cop cars and tear off the lights Anarchy and freedom are in my sights Blow up the suburbs and burn the neglect The world needs to wake up and come correct All their mistakes and all their lies Lets lead the movement no compromise Burn all the teachers and burn all the grades Burn everything that’s worth a parade Burn Hover Park and write on the walls Or if you prefer in the bathroom stalls Burn all the suits and burn all the ties Now I’m here to answer the rebel’s cries Burn authority and their charades The man no longer has it made Burn all the law books and burn all the flags Burn all the buildings that I used to tag Fuck society it’s all gone to shit It may work for you but it doesn’t fit For me, For Pirates, and the lifestyle led They’ll brainwash you until they’re in your head So light up a torch and burn down their stashes Burn the world down Don’t stop till it’s ashes
