I won’t be caught l iving in a dead end job

While praying to my government guns and god

‘Cause it ’s us against them

We’re here to represent

And spit right in the face of the establishment

And now I don’t believe

In having faith in nothing

Stand on my own

And got not sympathy

Wast ing the youth

While being young and useless

Speak for yourself

And don’t pray for me

Because we’re doing f ine and we don’t need to be told

That we’re doing f ine and we won’t give you control

And we don’t need anything f rom you

‘Cause we’l l be just f ine and we won’t be bought and sold

Just l ike you

(a call across the underclass)

Call ing out loud with no respect

I’m not the one I’m just another reject

I’m the voice to of fend

All those who pretend

Unsung against the grain I’m here to rise against

And now I’m desensit ized

I state my place in nowhere

Burning the f lag of the degenerat ion

Everyone sing the anthem of no future

Down with the mass ‘cause we’re not l istening

We’re the saints of degenerat ion

We don’t owe anyone an explanat ion

F* * k elit ists we don’t need this

We’re the elite of just alright

I haven’t been home for a while

I’m sure everything’s the same

Mom and dad both in denial

An only child to take the blame

I’m sorry mom but I don’t miss you

Father’s no name you deserve

I’m just lost with no ambit ions

I wouldn’t come home for the world

You’l l never know what I become

The king of al l that ’s said and done

The forgot ten son?

This city’s buried in defeat

I walk along these no name streets

And wave goodbye to all as I fal l

At the dead end I begin

To burn the bridge of innocence

Sat isfact ion guaranteed

A pil l ful l of catastrophe

On a mission nowhere bound

Inhibit ions underground

A shallow grave I have dug all by

myself

And now I’ve been gone for so long

And I can’t remember who was wrong

All innocence is long gone

I pledge allegiance to a world of disbelief where I belong

A walking disaster the son of all bastards

You regret you made me

It’s too late to save me

As far as I can tell it’s just voices in my head

Am I talking to myself ‘cause I don’t know what I just said

Far is where I fell maybe I’m better off dead

Am I at the end of nowhere is this as good as it gets

And now I’ve been gone for so long

And I can’t remember who was wrong

All innocence is long gone

I pledge allegiance to a world of disbelief where I belong

A walking disaster the son of all bastards

You regret you made me

It’s too late to save me

I will be home in a while

You don’t have to say a word

I can’t wait to see you smile

I wouldn’t miss it for the world

I’ve seen many a face from young and to old

I’ve stolen their faith and broken their souls

Was there before Christ had forgave you your sins

Paid your price and sealed your fate within

But days have come to end

Today’s the day that we meet again

Self-inflicted inebriation guilt never lies

I’ve been waiting for the chance

To reunite this sick romance

The poison never hurt so good

So nice of you to speak of me

Your closest friend and enemy

And holy savior of masochist

Nothing but a dead end slave

From the altar to the grave

It’s the last days of our lives in faith amen

Time it’s been so long and now there’s nothing to say

I’m trying so hard to find another way

I’m tired of being something I’m not

I can’t believe and I never thought

That days would come to an end

Maybe someday we’ll meet again

But if that day never comes

It would be too soon

I’ve been waiting for the chance

To nullify this sick romance

So pull the chord to detonate

So sick of you don’t speak of me

The reverend saint of misery

And holy savior of masochist

Trying to find a way it’s getting better everyday

And I got you now I’m not alone all I need in this life is one

One thing to believe in

Address this let ter to dear father

I know you as complete unknown

I guess it ’s bet ter you don’t bother

All of our t ruth should be lef t alone

Ah, ah, ahI learned the things you never showed me

Took the chances you’d have blown

And to this day the one and only

You remain a com

plete unknown

Ah, ah, ahYou’re out there somewhere I don’t know if you care at al l

It seems as if you don’t

It ’s as if the day wil l never come

So you remain a com

plete unknown

So many years have been ignored

You’ve been gone without a t race

I’m get t ing used to knowing you’re

Just a name without a face

Ah, ah, ahYou’re out there somewhere I don’t know if you care at al l

It seems as if you don’t

It ’s as if the day wil l never come

So you remain a com

plete unknown

Last call for regrets and defeat

To f inish the bot t le ful l of empty dreams

Punch-drunk headed st raight out of l ine

Another excuse with no alibi

Hitchin’ on the road of decline

With the no-name streets and no vital signs

I pissed away the best of me and no one can help me

I’m misery’s best f riend dead beat on a dead end

A bag ful l of regrets and I’m coming clean

The self -elect resident reject

A bad habit don’t forget that you bet ter

Count your last blessings

I fel l of f the wagon I’m chasing six feet

and now I’m running out of t ime

My hands are t ied and nailed to the cross

I’m looking for al l the composure I lost

I’m petulant with a bad at t i tude

A poster child vision of wasted youth

I dodged the book and found the key

I can’t say the same for dignity

I pissed away the best of me and

No one can help me

I’m misery’s best f riend dead beat on a dead end

A bag ful l of regrets and I’m coming clean

The self -elect resident reject

A bad habit don’t forget that you bet ter

Count your last blessings

I fel l of f the wagon I’m chasing six feet

and now I’m running out of t ime

Now I’m my own enemy

I don’t hear you now

Perfect t ragedy

God bless us denial

Tu es ma mademoiselle

Tu es ma pet ite poubelle

Je chercherai des ordures pour toi

Et je commencerai dedans mes pantalons

Dans votre oeil se t rouve une pet ite pleur

Mais je ne suis pas un autre Coeur

Tu sais tu es ma pet ite f leur

Avec une plot te qui est comme du beurre

Ladies and gent lemen of the underclass

The president of the United States is dead!

I don’t believe in the polit ics of chosen fools and

hypocrites

Who walk a l ine that ’s t read so f ine

Is it death or glory you have in mind

And here we go again it ’s mass delusion

And no one knows who leads the revolut ion now

As tension grows the way to a conclusion

It ’s too late there’s no t ime.

All for none, none for one, two, three, four

March of the dogs to a beat disi l lusion

Sworn under God breeding panic and confusion

The white f lag is down send in the clowns

The carnival of sins is now about to begin

It may be I’m a pessimist

I’d say we need an exorcist

The root of al l evil ’s standing tal l

Under God and above us all

A jester of sorts you stand holding your courts

Over minions on Capitol Hil l

In a bath ful l of blood I’m alone standing st i l l

Under God you can f ire at wil l

When the devil ’s angels come

To take your l i fe and lead you

To the f lames beneath

Your headstone reads now

Here l ies the dead who was

Hung by his head beneath us

They’re laying in their graves

Damnat ion f ree for al l

A prodigal son can’t undo what he’s done

A f igurehead of capitol crime

With a l ight shining down

As you fal l to your knees

To repent would be nothing but l ies

When the devil ’s angels come

To take your l i fe and lead you

To the f lames beneath

Your headstone reads now

Here l ies the dead who was

Hung by his head beneath us

They’re laying in their graves

Damnat ion f ree for al l

Deadbeat six feet dead underground

An eye for an eye only leaves us all bl ind

Going once twice there goes your l i fe

A jester of sorts you stand holding your courts

Over minions on Capitol Hil l

In a bath ful l of blood I’m alone standing st i l l

Under God you can f ire at wil l

When the devil ’s angels come

To take your l i fe and lead you

To the f lames beneath

Your headstone reads now

Here l ies the dead who was

Hung by his head beneath us

They’re laying in their graves

Damnat ion f ree for al l

A prodigal son can’t undo what he’s done

A f igurehead of capitol crime

With a l ight shining down

As you fal l to your knees

To repent would be nothing but l ies

When the devil ’s angels come

To take your l i fe and lead you

To the f lames beneath

Your headstone reads now

Here l ies the dead who was

Hung by his head beneath us

They’re laying in their graves

Damnat ion f ree for al l

Deadbeat six feet dead underground

An eye for an eye only leaves us all bl ind

Going once twice there goes your l i fe

And here we go again in desperat ion

And all we know is confusion and f rustrat ion now

As tension grows no vision of salvat ion

It ’s too late there’s no t ime.

And now the president ’s dead

Because they blew of f his head

No more neck to be red

Guess to heaven he f led

Was it something he said

Or because of who’s in his bed

By whom wil l we be led

From whose hand wil l we be fed

All the l ies by the lying l iars who said

We’l l be f ine

It ’s OK

Hey look mom no head!

I don’t want this moment to ever end

‘Cause everything’s nothing without you

I’d wait here forever just to see you smile

‘Cause it ’s t rue I am nothing without you

Through it al l

I’ve made my mistakes

I stumble and fal l

But I mean these words

I want you to know

With everything I won’t let this go

These words are my heart and soul

I’ l l hold onto this moment you know

As I’ l l bleed my heart to show

And I won’t let go

Thoughts read unspoken forever in vow

And pieces of memories fal l to the ground

I know what I didn’t have so I won’t let this go

‘Cause it ’s t rue I am nothing without you

All these st reets

That I walked alone

With nowhere to go

Have come to an end

In f ront of your eyes

It fal ls f rom the skies

When you don’t know what you’re looking to f ind

Pull the curtains begin paranoia’s wearing thin now

It ’s wearing thin now

Close my eyes realize I’ve become the vict imized now

Desensit ized now

The one and only day has come I pay for al l the bad things I’ve done

Something’s wrong because I f ind the glamour in the dark side

In the dark side

Cheap regrets can’t forget fal l ing vict im to the debts st i l l unpaid in my mind

The one and only day has come I pay for al l the bad things I’ve done

It ’s gonna take me, you don’t know t ragedy

I’ve been to hell and back again to tel l

Close my eyes and lay me down to sleep

I fear the worst my beat ing heart t icks to explode

My t ime is up so

Why can’t I just sleep

Living dead awake the horror show begins so pull the curtains over me

Bring on the panic the uncontrolled and manic

It ’s a f ree- for-all ki l l them all every last one of them

I don’t care at al l

Suf focate the dreams in my mind

Drown the thoughts that have me conf ined

Gutter dreams as black as the night

No one told me empathy’s a l ie

(background)

my last words I’m choking

are all my dreams broken

the si lence is deafening

my ears won’t stop ringing

I’ve dethroned the king of contradict ion

Or were you just a jester al l along a simple pawn

Don’t you know you can’t count your tears l ike your

money

Running down l ike rain in the drain

You don’t need to pray for me ‘cause I’m not the

one to blame

I can’t wait to see you going down in f lames

How could it be know not what we’ve became

You lost the human race

I hope you burn l ike a cigaret te in ashes

As your head comes down and crashes

Your throat pours blood f rom slashes

And I hope you never forget l ike a tat too of regret

this t ime, this t ime

You don’t need to pray for me cause I’m not the

one to blame

I can’t wait to see you going down in f lames

How could it be know not what we’ve became

You lost the human race

You’re replaced now

Was nice to know you

Now your t ime is up so

Just drop dead It ’s so hard to say that I’m sorry I’ l l make everything

alright

All these things that I’ve done now what have I become

And where did I go wrong

I don’t mean to hurt , just to put you f irst

I won’t tel l you l ies

I wil l stand accused with my hand on my heart

I’m just t rying to say

I’m sorry it ’s al l that I can say

You mean so much and I’d f ix al l that I’ve done

If I could start again

I’d throw it al l away to the shadows of regrets and you

would

Have the best of me

I know that I can’t take back all of the mistakes but I wil l

t ry

Although it ’s not easy I know you believe me

Don’t believe their l ies told through jealous eyes they

don’t understand

I won’t break your heart , I won’t bring you down

But I wil l have to say

I’m sorry it ’s al l that I can say

You mean so much and I’d f ix al l that I’ve done

If I could start again

I’d throw it al l away to the shadows of regrets and you

would

Have the best of me

Up in smoke pop goes the culture

The tension blew it up

While choking from bleeding ulcer

We eventually threw it up

So what went wrong?

Where’s the voice of reason?

It’s long gone we lost it long ago

Apathy plus-sized filled the void of motivation

I can hardly breathe at all

Confusion’s all I see

Frustration surrounds me

Solution’s bid farewell

Sedation? What the hell

I broke the mirror to the past

To find what I was looking for

The bleeding heart of broken glass

Is all I found and nothing more regrets

Short of no correction

Paid my debts to anxiety

The iron lung collapsed from the pressure and the swelling

I can hardly breathe at all

Confusion’s all I see

Frustration surrounds me

Solution’s bid farewell

Sedation? What the hell

Dead end roads with warning signs

Destination nowhere in sight

Divided we stand together we fall

There isn’t a god that can save us all

So don’t pray on your knees

Just beg on your hands

There is no belief

In this promised land

Time passes by direct ion unknown

You’ve lef t us now but we’re not alone

Before you know it your cup’s overf lowin’

You measure no one that I’ve ever known

And it ’s quite alright

So goodbye for now

Just look up to the stars and believe who you are

‘Cause it ’s quite alright

And so long goodbye

We always knew it would come to this

It ’s t imes l ike these I forget what I miss

Matters of heart are hard to address

Especially when yours is ful l of empt iness

And it ’s quite alright

So goodbye for now

Just look up to the stars and believe who you are

Cause it ’s quite alright

And so long goodbye
