Tragedy

If all the worlds a stage
This has got to be the worst play ever
Looking for a happy ending?
Hope you're patient 'cos its not happening ever
Keeping people in their place
Slave masters of the human race
Puppeteer's strings made of money
Watching us dance, that's their funny
Who writes the script?
Must be someone evil
Getting their kicks
Watching people fall
Who writes the script?
Someone evil
Getting their kicks
Watching people fail
It's not just money
False hope controls us too
Fashioned as a hangman's noose hypnotising through TV and media
Luring you in making and you all the needier
Dance to their tune if that's your thing
Freedom of choice? covered in bling?
Selling you nightmares dressed as dreams
Will you ever know things aren't as they seem?
Who writes the script?
Must be someone evil
Getting their kicks
Watching people fall
Who writes the script?
Must be someone evil
Getting their kicks
Watching people fail

Call Me A Cynic
01:45
|

Left, right or centrist - it doesn't really matter
The establishment will fool you with their patter
Twisting Facts, claiming lies to be true
They know what they're up to - they're fooling you
Call me a cynic - I'm quite proud of that
I'm happy to scrutinise what they claim to be fact
Do they represent you? Or their own self interest?
Have they sold their souls to become part of this mess?
Looks like they have, but what's in it for them?
Leading society headlong into mayhem
Call me a cynic - I'm quite proud of that
I'm happy to scrutinise what they claim to be fact
We're a threat to their comfort if we stand up and fight
And they fear they'll lose everything if the have nots unite
Slaves to the system - that applies to us all
Scrambling over others who stumble and fall
Call me a cynic - I'm quite proud of that
I'm happy to scrutinise what they claim to be fact
I'm happy to accept that I might be wrong
But I'm confident I wouldn't be losing sleep for too long

Corporate Fool
02:33
|
|||
You don't understand me, you don't hear what I say
You say your piece and I say mine - it's the same thing every day
You don't understand me, it's clear from your replies
That my words make no sense to you and I can see it in your eyes
Corporate robot
Corporate tool
Corporate puppet
Corporate fool
Have you been conditioned? Or Institutionalised?
Do you believe that from the arses of managers that's where the sun does rise?
Naturally subservient, striving to impress
But the owners of the arses you lick couldn't care less
Corporate robot
Corporate tool
Corporate puppet
Corporate fool
I don't understand you, but not through ignorance
I just don't get your blind submission and defence of unequal stance
I don't understand you, or your desire to appease
No questions, just acceptance, are you happy on your knees?
Corporate robot
Corporate tool
Corporate puppet
Corporate fool

Oxygen Thief
02:30
|

Who's oxygen are you stealing?
You who have no emotions or feelings
Children burned and torn apart
Clearly your bombs are not that smart
A just war?
A moral Crusade?
Borne of conspiracy of lies made with other narcissistic egos
They continue to die
Is that their emancipation? Poor quality of life improved only through death?
Your war, it has not ended
It never will, innocent blood continues to spill
Land grabbed, assets seized
Tell me more about the people you freed
I won't remind you about the blood on your hands
I'm sure you see it and smell it daily
Does it remind you of your fifteen minutes of fame
When all you were was just the same as those who you opposed?
I am at war with you and your kind
Not with your violence but through the mind
Karma will come, justice will be done
Die warmongering bastard, die

Happy
02:39

Happy with your life? Fed up with all the strife?
What do you want to do? The only one that can change it is you
Are you stuck in a comfy rut? I suppose that's easy...but...
Are you happy with your life? Are you fed up with all the strife?
Get up
Get out
Be you
Shout
What did you want to be when you grew up? Did it happen?
What got in your way? It's never too late in the day
To be who you want to be. Put your mind to it, you really can be free
You'll never be happy unless you're really you and only you know what you need to do
Get up
Get out
Be you
Shout
Happy with your life? Fed up with all the strife?
What do you want to do? What gets in your way?
Be and do what you want, whatever it takes to be free
Be honest with yourself, look in the mirror and say I'm happy to be me
Get up
Get out
Be you
Shout
