Track Lyrics
Thieves Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Thieves, thieves and liars
Murderers
Hypocrites and bastards
In laughter (Get up!)
(Get up! Get on your feet!)
[Verse 2]
Hey, thanks for nothing
Morals in the dust
Two-faced bastards and sycophants
No trust
(We are fighting for the liberation of minds, not for the liberation of this pig, and racist society)
[Chorus]
Thieves, liar
Thieves, liar
Thieves, liar
Thieves, liar
Inside, outside, which side, you don't know
My side, your side, their side, we don't know
Which side today? Which side today?
Which side of the mouth do you spread your decay?
Which side today? Which side today?
Which side of the grass is greener?
Inside, outside, which side, you don't know
My side, your side, their side, we don't know
You're like a great big fucking gun
Just waiting to get squeezed
(We're gonna rip this motherfucker off, we're gonna tear this motherfucker down)
(Get up!)
(Get up, get on your feet!)
[Verse 3]
Breathe, forfeit erection
Toxic load injection
Geriatric fuck-face
With syphilitic mind
(I hope they realize that this is their last goddamn chance)
(Kill him!)
(Kill, kill, kill)
[Chorus]
Thieves, liar
Thieves, liar
Thieves, liar
Thieves, liar
Inside, outside, which side, you don't know
My side, your side, their side, we don't know
Which side today? Which side today?
Which side of the mouth do you spread your decay?
Which side today? Which side today?
Which side of the grass is greener?
Inside, outside, which side, you don't know
My side, your side, their side, no one knows
You're like a great big hit of acid
Waiting to be taken
(Power to the people)
(Power to the people)
(Police officer!)
(Kill, kill, kill!)
(You will not kill!)
[Outro]
(I want peace)
(Do you want peace?)
(I can't hear you!)
(I still can't hear you!)
Never Believe Lyrics
6 ContributorsNever Believe LyricsIs anybody here?
Is everybody here?
The service is about to begin!
I make my servant by fires insidious
Instead of the laughter, there's the last of the separated jewels
I'll make dust of the whole damned wall
I'll make hovels for all the worms
I left off my hands to save these idiot bastards
Bastards!
Me and cellmate have lost again for ever
The sun shines and I breathe 'my father...'
I want so much to remove your past
And deliver your neurotic flesh from evil
Grab this giant's hand
Grab this giant's hand
Grab this giant's hand
Grab this giant's hand
But I'm only allowed to touch what I know
And all that I know are hypocrites
Liars and witches who burned in the name of human fear
You will never believe
Never believe
Never believe
Never believe
Never believe
Never believe
Never believe
Never believe
We haven't much time left
Evening will come
And with it the equivalent
Of devil's animals
With fear to come
They ask of us favors we cannot fulfill
They ask, curse at us, and we smile
Caught in conviction
A crowd of senseless individuals
Will go further than both love and greed
As the clear salvation -- the future is here!
You will never believe
Never believe
Never believe
Never believe
Never believe
Never believe
Never believe
Never believe
Never believe
Never believe
Never believe
Never believe...
Test Lyrics
4 ContributorsTest LyricsYo! This is a test
You say this when I say that
You say this when I say that
You say this when I say that
You say this when I say that
But I'm not with that
So step back or kiss my...
'Cos I won't be held back
So don't fight or dis' or piss me off
'Cos I'm not soft or weak
Running down in the maze of the day
This is a new phase
Don't be commercial or sell out
Or get the hell out of this business
But I won't be caught in that net of suckers
And glass people, weak, beaten down and feeble
Society probably wants me to give up
Society probably wants me to give up
As I live up to be my best
In a test
A fight for death
As I fight for my very last breath
And et cetera
And et cetera
Gotta be strong
But wait a minute
Now could I be better?
Now could I be better?
Well, only I know
Well, what about you?
Or do you have a clue?
Could've, would've, should've - it's too late
Could've, would've, should've - it's too late
Why you waiting, laying, sit there? Move!
Be your own person!
Wake up, make up your mind
Seek the knowledge that you will find
Be your own person
Wait for it from the weak
'Cos they make the people level
And with you make a team
So believe, and be your best
'Cos this is a test
Go for the top chart
Rock with all your heart
Rock-hard, stay up, go
Deal with what's going on
In this crazy world
Man, woman, child, boy, girl
Insane to the playing
Love, music, power, pain
Be what you gotta do
Get the knowing attitude
'Cos this is a test
That we suggest
Be your own person!
'Cos this is a test!
This is...a test!
'Cos we all know who is the real victim
Society does not want them picked on
Labelled or staked, don't raise his guilt
Don't miss your boot and kicked him
Faceless in the morning in their urban plight
Felt like a symbol with every situation
Any one tour already overcrowded
Project nation, more inflation
Better your damn situation
But how can you better your situation
If you have no occupation?
Ten of us said, watch the Rolodex Center
See how many different schools you can enter
They're out turning in the pit, but life's a bitch
The world's unconcerned
I'll tell you why it's stuck in a ditch
You own the key to the damn city
But it's a damn pity
Faith Collapsing Lyrics
[Repeats]
"you are the dead. remain exactly where you are. make no move until you are ordered."
"what's happening?"
"what's happening?"
"the system will eat itself" [Repeats]
"watch for a man running through the streets
Repeating: calling all citizens
Wanted for murder, the criminal is alone and on foot
Let each one stand at his front door, look and listen
Watch for a man running through the streets
Repeating: calling all citizens."

Dream Song Lyrics
[Woman]
When you're, dreaming you're alive
[Demonic voice]
The dreams are back, once more and infinite. And our thin reasoning gives way to ground. This has always been
There I was over me, as I ran for cover, with lines forming in. But I was already there
[Woman]
Oh I had this dream one night I was like, I was lying on my stupid futon couch foldout bed. And ummm, it was like really hot, like it just started summer, and it was really hot and I had like no fan or anything. I was lying there and I had this weirdest, weirdest, weirdest like nightmare. I had this nightmare where they're like, they're like dreams but they're not dreams they're like real, ya know? They're like, you feel as though you're alive when you're dreaming, you think you're alive when you're dreaming. I had this dream where this angel was coming up, like up my fire escape cause I don't have bars on my windows cause I don't believe in bars on windows. And she was there in my room, lying there and she came and she kissed me and I woke up and I must've come
Do you believe in angels?
[Demonic voice:]
No
