Track Lyrics
Constitutional Hell Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Everything fits nicely into place
Higher powers take the lead
Middleman sit, pondering his worth
One great scheme to stem objective urge
[Chorus 2]
Decision-making
And power-playing
One up-manship
Show of hands
To clasp the myth
Vote in a new scourge
[Verse 2]
Everything fits nicely into place
Higher powers take the lead
Issues are decided before we've a chance to think
And moral high ground wins the day again
[Chorus 2]
Decision-making
And power-playing
Principles spurned
Show of hands
To clasp the myth
Favors for my friends
[Bridge]
It's a constitutional hell
Where they pontificate and yell
Where etiquette outplays integrity
It's a constitutional hell
It's a constitutional hell
(???)
It's a constitutional hell
Hell
Hell
[Verse 3]
Everything fits nicely into place
Higher powers take the lead
Sleeping giants show their real worth
I'll sum up on all the good you've done this earth:
Nothing
Nothing
Vermin Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The rats on this earth have nothing on you
An insult to those which crawl the sewers
[Chorus]
Devourer
Plunderer
Deceptor
[Verse 2]
Sniff out a scheme
And leave the scraps behind
Voracious, insatiable
A nose attuned to greed
[Chorus]
Devourer
Plunderer
Deceptor
[Bridge]
Evade all traps
And come out gnashing, snarling, gnashing, snarling
Disguises are many
Media pawn or man on the street
They'll scavenge your emotions
And leave you diseased
They'd steal a last possession
And smile as you concede
[Chorus]
Devourer
Plunderer
Deceptor
Volume of Neglect Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Speculate freely
Begrudge me intensely
Lacking a conscience
Lacking intelligence
Lesser than nothing
Lower than everything
As you drain our vitality
To a mundane reality
[Verse 2]
A form of therapy
Without compensation
A vague psychology
Free from obligation
Intercept the negligence
Accept the consequence
Amongst Barbaria
Mass hysteria
[Chorus 1]
Opposite in a sign to abide
When the future is ours to decide
We continue to watch and observe
Just to find out what purpose it serves
[Bridge 1]
Paralyzed? A spectacle for all to see
Happiness within our grasp, but out of reach
[Chorus 2]
Volume of neglect
Forcibly expressed
Volume of neglect
Forcibly expressed
[Bridge 2]
Devastate a silhouette, calm and serene
Abandon a systematic insane routine
[Chorus 2]
Volume of neglect
Forcibly expressed
Volume of neglect
Forcibly expressed
[Chorus 1]
Opposite in a sign to abide
When the future is ours to decide
We continue to watch and observe
Just to find out what purpose it serves
[Outro]
Volume of neglect
Volume (volume)
Volume of neglect
Volume (volume)
Thanks for Nothing Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Serve my head on a plate
Pulp my heart with ill will
I did trust you, led to lust you
To be duped
[Chorus 1]
Thanks for fucking nothing!
[Verse 2]
Serve my head on a plate
Pulp my heart with ill will
Sensed a mystique, turned to spent air
Killed it dead
[Chorus 2]
Thanks for fucking nothing
Scraped the depths to salvage something
[Chorus 3]
Thanks for fucking nothing
Drained my all, then dropped the bombshell
[Bridge]
True, we were not joined, our every feature spliced
Though you rushed in and took a lead
Three words spouted
This contagion
Crossed all divides
Caused a shift in protective focus
Three words flouted
Untimely end, I should've clicked, a sensory cut-out
A spoiling of the harmony, of which we were about
I don't despise or demonize, but I just know your form
Walk right out and move along, and leap before you look
Fuck!
[Chorus 1]
Thanks for fucking nothing!
Necessary Evil Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I dissolve to a dream of the past
Terminate, to remove, falling fast
At the end of a chain thoughts collect
Execute a degree, I defect
[Chorus 1]
What's it worth?
Sacrifice the earth, it bleeds
Meet your needs, devilish deeds
[Verse 2]
Reconcile, understood, contemplate
Desecrate, to denounce, detonate
Tentative, to reject, overdue
Final stage to complete, follow through
[Chorus 2]
Far too late
Absolute hate this hell
An empty shell
Desolate cells
[Bridge]
A necessary evil
Bargaining pleas
Held at ransom
Our souls diseased
A necessary evil
The dominant role
There's no escape
You crossed the solitary line
A necessary evil
Bargaining pleas
Held at ransom
Our souls diseased
A necessary evil
The dominant role
There's no escape
You crossed the solitary line
[Verse 3]
(???)
Tentative, to reject, overdue
Final stage to complete, follow through
[Chorus 1]
What's it worth?
Sacrifice the earth, it bleeds
Meet your needs, devilish deeds
[Bridge]
A necessary evil
Bargaining pleas
Held at ransom
Our souls diseased
A necessary evil
The dominant role
There's no escape
You crossed the solitary line
A necessary evil
Bargaining pleas
Held at ransom
Our souls diseased
A necessary evil
The dominant role
There's no escape
You crossed the solitary line
(The Public Get) What the Public Doesn’t Want Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Name your price for progress
Impoverished settle the bill
Clear a path, coming through
Clear a path, coming through
[Verse 2]
Stylise
Make it easy on the eye
Keep our distance
Too under-formed to grace the sublime
[Verse 3]
Flatter to deceive
Building art-house cosmetics
Like a mismatched prosthetic
Like a mismatched prosthetic
[Verse 4]
Spreads like wildfire
Burgeoning yuppie nirvana
Highbrow aesthetics
Decadents always crave more
[Verse 5]
Marvel at the sleek design
The wilting talk of curves and lines
Appease the resistance
To banish my pig-ignorance
[Chorus]
The public gets what the public doesn't want
[Verse 6]
What use is this to man or beast
It glosses over basic needs
[Chorus]
The public gets what the public doesn't want
[Bridge]
Access denied
We're utter philistines
Access denied
We're utter philistines
[Verse 7]
Caged in the exclusion zone
Pass away in sepia tones
[Chorus]
The public gets what the public doesn't want
[Bridge]
Access denied
Accept we're cultural slime
Access denied
Accept we're cultural slime
Access denied
