United State Of Apathy

[Inspired by and dedicated to Bill Hicks]

(Relentless) we get born and raised

(Relentless) broken promises made

(Relentless) the days cut like razors

(Relentless) with no guarantee on saviours

(Relentless) everyone's addicted

Coz everyone's a victim

(Relentless) I've seen the movie

It did nothing for me

(Relentless) patience is a virtue

That ain't worth waiting for

(Relentless) I'll buy you a coke and sing

I'd like to teach the world to scream

[Pre-chorus:]

We're just dying to be like you

In this...

[Chorus:]

United state of apathy

Got no motivation

United state of apathy

Strung out on a diet of pure frustration

(Relentless) the voices in your head are calling

(Relentless) they don't tell you what you want to hear

(Relentless) another smoke on inspiration

(Relentless) to take you anywhere, anywhere but here

[Pre-chorus + chorus]

Freedom of choice or a choice of freedom

Paying the price for the cost of living

Sit up straight eat your Jesus flakes

All good things come to those you hated

[Chorus]

(Relentless)

United state

United state

United state of apathy

We're just wasting away

Welcome To Defiance

Sometimes I feel like I'm almost damaged

Sometimes I get so hungry for tension

All wound up and nowhere to go

I just murdered another day

[Chorus:]

You got to go with what you know

Find the time to re-arrange

But you love to suffer in silence

When you know that you're

Welcome to defiance

Get up, get out and try it

Sometimes I get so sick of it all

Sometimes I feel like I've been branded

Wait a lifetime to get what you wanted

A stonewashed soul and a double standard

[Chorus]

Everything is crystal clear

A million failures a million tries

A million reasons to justify

I only wanted out of frustration

I guess sometimes we all get taken

[Chorus]

Way Beyond Belief

Open up your eyes

Get a little introspection in your life

Time to realise

What you have inside

Sometimes you've got to wear it out

[Pre-chorus:]

I'm not giving anymore

I'm not taking anymore

I'm not feeling anymore

I'm not guilty anymore

[Chorus:]

Take it way beyond belief

I don't need a reason

No matter what it takes

It's just another phase outgrown

Confront yourself

A change for the sake of it

Won't change anything

[Pre-chorus + chorus]

So just keep it out of reach and take it way beyond belief

What ever you think you need to take it way beyond belief

[Pre-chorus]

They say you got to live with what you believe

Am I living up to what you want me to be?

Open up your eyes - take it way beyond belief

Time to realise - take it way beyond belief

What you have inside - take it way beyond belief

I don't need a reason, I don't need a reason

[Pre-chorus + chorus]

Crackdown

Maybe this would be easier

Second time around

But every time I bring it up

You try to bring me down

Find someone else to crucify

Coz didn't we have fun

Don't you know that a little pain

Never hurts anyone

[Chorus:]

Why can't you let it be

You're living all over me

Try taking a different view

It's good for me and it's better for you

Crack-down

Right now

So don't believe the powers that be

They're colour blind and they can't see

Can't understand what you can't kill

You always have and you always will

[Chorus]

This isn't the answer to anything

Love and damage

[Chorus]

Sorry For Nothing

I never listen to reason

Coz I got no reason to listen

Put your mind inside a bodybag

It's in a terminal condition (right)

[Pre-chorus:]

You love, hate and kill my time

Love, hate and kill my time

Now I want to rise and shine

[Chorus:]

Sorry for nothing

Why should I feel

Sorry for nothing

I believe deep down inside

You think you're Jesus fucking Christ

Point the gun, aim to please

Coz I know, you know, I know I'm right

[Pre-chorus + chorus]

I hope you're feeling bitter

I'm so happy I could die

You told me I could count on you

But I can't count that high

[Pre-chorus]

I hope you're feeling bitter

Sorry for nothing

Cheat

Confidence broken

We fight for control

All my friends are hollow

And no one else is whole

[Pre-chorus:]

I'm not your anxiety

I'm not your anxiety

[Chorus:]

Stop taking, stop taking

Stop taking the easy way out

Caught me wide open

Take what you see

Tear the world to pieces

Dying by degrees

[Pre-chorus + chorus]

I'm not living for you

[Pre-chorus + chorus]

Stop taking the easy way out of this

"Just Add Life" (1996)

Ongoing And Total

Always under control

Trying to remember how to feel

Just to insist that you really exist

But it’s the nearness that kills

Wishing the world away

On those crash diet suburban incentives

Innocence is no excuse

For all those self inflicted differences

[Pre chorus]

Everybody, everybody

Everybody make yourself a target

Just…

[Chorus]

Stay out of it

Stay out of it

Stay out of it

Stay…. out of it, out of it, out of it

So just like everyone

You found that brick wall building up inside

That we keep knocking down

From degeneration to degeneration

Stuck inside your thoughts

Scared of dependence clinging to security

Just go on from day to day

It takes a lot more than you got to give

[Pre chorus + chorus]

Your so happy and I’m not surprised

Coz everyone’s living in disguise

We watch the time go by and dream

We never feel guilty for anything

[Chorus]

Do You Understand

I think its time that you realized

Nothing means nothing to me… anymore

Its easy to use the right words

But say the wrong things

Thought I knew what I wanted

Now I don’t know for sure

You always hate the ones you love

Everybody’s had us we’re all used up

Sometimes these things don’t go the way there planned

Do you do you understand?

Do you do you understand?

Do you understand?

Do you understand?

I can’t stop myself from thinking

Trying to get the picture in the right frame of mind

Infected with reasons and touched by lies

All I see is nothing when I look behind

Go out and get burned

Last chance to forget what we learned

They’ll never show the other hand

Do you do you understand?

Do you do you understand?

Do you understand?

Do you understand?

You always hate the ones you love

Everybody’s had us we’re all used up

Sometimes these things don’t go the way there planned

Do you do you understand?

Do you do you understand?

Do you understand?

Do you understand?

Do you understand?

Do you understand?

All Sussed Out

Now they want to take away

Everything you haven't got

Coz it's the little things you have

That means such a lot

And the best years of your life

Are the worst you can remember

They say you've got it good

Coz they know they've got it better

You can't fight the power

When you ain't got the power to fight

And the only rights that you need to know

Are to know that you’ve got no rights

Now we're down on our knees

Trying to find our feet

Got to stop my heart from missing a repetitive beat

It's wrong to steal they hate the competition

They keep taking away our optimism

Don't let those feelings fool you

You've still got a lot to give

Hey hey hey

We all struggle to exist

But it's not where you live it's where you live

[Chorus]

Speed up the breakdown

We got you all sussed out

Speed up the breakdown

We got you all sussed out

Now it's a wonderful world of destiny

New confrontations everyday

We've got the best control that money can buy

But we still seem to lose it anyway

You can't fight the power

When you ain't got the power to fight

And the only rights that you need to know

Are to know that you’ve got no rights

[Chorus]

Speed up the breakdown

We got you all sussed out

Speed up the breakdown

We got you all sussed out
