Persona Non Grata Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I am the one you blacklist
The one so quickly dismissed
My being, untoward
No hatred unexplored
Discarded, cast aside
All anger magnified
This is my emancipation
Cut the tumor buried deep inside
[Chorus]
Your voice brings me to rage
I can't stand the thought of you
Persona Non Grata
[Verse 2]
Repay my faith misguided
This falling house divided
My words you disavow
Verbal shots across my bow
Cannon fodder I'll be no more
Enemy now at your door
This is my emancipation
My silence now becomes a roar
[Chorus]
Your voice brings me to rage
I can't stand the sight of you
Persona Non Grata
[Post-Chorus]
I've been thе downcast
I've took the blame
For all thе shit you've laid on me
You put me dead last
Defile my name to bring me to my knees
I will rise up and drop you out
Revolution under way
I buy your silence, paid for in violence
This is my independence day
[Bridge 1]
Your voice brings me to rage
I can't stand the thought of you
Discord is my true reward
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge 2]
I detest you, I protest you
I've obsessed you
You require me, you retire me
You rewire me
[Verse 3]
I walk away unsoiled
My revenge uncoiled
The one you so despised
Now one not recognized
Here I stand, tower above you
Under foot, I think not of you
This is my emancipation
Living in a world devoid of you
[Chorus]
Your voice brings me to rage
I can't stand the thought of you
Persona Non Grata

R.E.M.F. Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Obey the order
Charge into the breach
Battalions take up the fight
While fat ass bureaucrats far out of reach
Watch via satellite
Power politics while thousands of klicks
From the front lines
Brave men at arms
Take the bull by the horns
Winning, their bottom line
[Chorus]
Cannon fire makes the skies glow
Brass and lead make the cash flow
Bleed and die, why, we don't know
On behalf of all these
Rear Echelon Motherfuckers
[Guitar Solos]
[Verse 2]
Quell the storm
And ridе the thunder
Fighting across the dividе
In the name of all the lies and the blunders
Of men not qualified
We know ballistics
And they know statistics
Acceptable death rates
But if gunfire were near
Would they volunteer?
Bullets don't discriminate
[Chorus]
Cannon fire makes the skies glow
Brass and lead make the cash flow
Bleed and die, why, they don't know
On behalf of all these
On behalf of all these
On behalf of all these
Rear Echelon
Motherfuckers
Elitist Lyrics
[Intro]
Social climber
Know-it-all
Patronizer
Punisher
[Verse 1]
Stuck up, pretentious and overbearing
High and mighty when the world implodes
Condescending, an upstart offender
Cruel and callous when I know you are wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
Ring on the bell to call for service
Bang on the gong to clean the mess up
Now I've used every friend I've ever had
And it doesn't look like I'm stopping there!
[Chorus]
I'm an elitist
(Elitist)
'Cause I'm an elitist
(Elitist)
[Post-Chorus]
A-list big shot
Smarter than most
Yes, egotistic
Money to boast
[Verse 2]
Slicing up the stiff neck and lifting the high brow
Focusing on things I get for free
Opinions superior, attitudes aloud
Here comes another victim to bleed
[Pre-Chorus]
Ring on the bell to call for service
Bang on the gong to clean the mess up
Now I've used every friend I've ever had
And it doesn't look like I'm stopping there!
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Antagonistic
Money monger
Passive sadistic
Makes me stronger
[Verse 3]
Barefaced and brassy and flagrantly fucked
Loud, ostentatious and crass
Extensively fancy but soft to the touch
Smile to your face when I pocket your cash
[Pre-Chorus]
Ring on the bell to call for service
Bang on the gong to clean the mess up
Now I've used every friend I've ever had
And it doesn't look like I'm stopping there!
[Chorus]
I'm an elitist
(Elitist)
I'm an elitist
(Elitist)
The Beatings Will Continue (Until Morale Improves) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Another day, another riot
Another fire lighted
Has got you feeling down
They're coming with the cure
And demanding that you try it
I hear it’s the talk of the town
A little PMA through pepper spray
To put a little joy right in your day
Bringing cheer in riot gear
All you gotta do is obey
[Verse 2]
All the rank and file
Take their beatings and smile
As they cross your names off the list
Welcome to the fold
With a chokehold
Preach to the flock with a fist
Sunny days will dawn
At the end of a baton
Turn grey skies black and blue
Remedy the mood
With a blood feud
Here's what you gotta do
[Chorus]
Smile at all the beatings
All the punches and the greetings
All the blows and the bleeding
Until you like it
Smile at being battered
All the bones being shattered
All the blood being splattered
Until you like it
Rejoice in all the horror
Until you can't ignore her
And you revel in disorder
Soon you’ll like it
Grin at the abuse
You've got nothing left to lose
[Post-Chorus]
The beatings will continue
Until morale improves
[Guitar Solos]
[Chorus]
Smile at all the beatings
All the punches and the greetings
All the blows and the bleeding
Until you like it
Smile at being battered
All the bones being shattered
All the blood being splattered
Until you like it
Rejoice in all the horror
Until you can't ignore her
And you revel in disorder
Soon you'll like it
Grin at the abuse
You've got nothing left to lose
[Outro]
The beatings will continue
Until morale improves
The beatings will continue
Until morale improves
The beatings will continue
Until morale improves
The beatings will continue
Until morale improves
The Years of Death and Dying Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I am the years of death and dying
I tear with gripping teeth
I prey upon all the weary
Eliminate the weak
Not a day in your life passes
When you won’t think of me
No thought and prayers can save you
So get up off of your knees
When I sense a weakness
I move in with blazing speed
Mothers, brothers, fathers and sons
It matters not to me
[Chorus]
I’m a force of nature pure and sure
I’ve killed through all of time
When a "Gale" force wind blows through you
You’ll know that you are mine
I am legend, I’m your end
You’ll wither when I’m near
I’m the years of death and dying
The sum of all your fears
[Verse 2]
You may have had a brush with me
Escaped and saved yourself
Most likely I was occupied
With killing someone else
Legends fall when I come to call
As I plan my next attack
"Petty" things won’t matter
Just ask "the Man in Black"
The "Rage" is gone and so is "Bon"
So young in their demise
I ended the "Eruption"
I took them in their prime
[Chorus]
I’m a force of nature pure and sure
I’ve killed through all of time
When a "Gale" force wind blows through you
You’ll know that you are mine
I am legend, I’m your end
You’ll wither when I’m near
I’m the years of death and dying
The sum of all your fears
[Guitar Solo: Gary Holt]
[Guitar Solo: Lee Altus]
[Verse 3]
I cull the herd with no remorse
Taking souls along the "Way"
I’m here to set the balance
Of all you have to pay
I turned "Ziggy" into "Stardust"
I’ve been killing ever since
I took an "Eagle" from the sky
I even killed a "Prince"
Struck down the "Queen"
Bid "Farewell to Kings"
I took the "Angel of Death"
I’m always at the ready
To take away your breath
[Chorus]
I’m a force of nature pure and sure
I’ve killed through all of time
When a "Gale" force wind blows through you
You’ll know that you are mine
I am legend, I’m your end
You’ll wither when I’m near
I’m the years of death and dying
The sum of all your fears
Clickbait Lyrics
[Verse 1]
False headlines full of lies
To keep us entertained
Promises made to lure you in
Yet nothing gained
Draw you in like vultures
To a pile of rotting meat
The snare is set in bold lettering
As we swallow the deceit
[Pre-Chorus]
So naïve
So easily deceived
So ignorant
Fall for all the tales they weave
They mislead
They speak and every word we heed
Hearing only what we think we need
[Chorus]
We take the clickbait
Follow as they lead
With every word the captivate
We blindly follow
Their trail like human sheep
Never awake, always asleep
[Guitar Solo: Gary Holt]
[Verse 2]
Twisting people’s words and then
They pour them in your ears
In with the lies, out with the truth
All facts just disappear
Spoken thoughts are mangled into ones you never meant
All distorted, corrupting all intent
[Pre-Chorus]
So naïve
So easily deceived
So ignorant
Fall for all the tales they weave
They mislead
They speak and every word we heed
Hearing only what we think we need
[Chorus]
We take the clickbait
Follow as they lead
With every word the captivate
We blindly follow
Their trail like human sheep
Never awake, always asleep
[Guitar Solo: Lee Altus]
[Verse 3]
Our journalistic masters
Command and we obey
Fall in line like lemmings
That feed these birds of prey
Do as we say not as we do
Stop thinking on your own
Scream for more red meat
While gnawing on the bone
[Pre-Chorus]
So naïve
So easily deceived
So ignorant
Fall for all the tales they weave
They mislead
They speak and every word we heed
Hearing only what we think we need
[Chorus]
We take the clickbait
Follow as they lead
With every word the captivate
We blindly follow
Their trail like human sheep
Never awake, always asleep
