To A Pulp/As The Youth

To A Pulp:
Take the pill of society
Shove it down my throat
If I'm not addicted
Beat me to a pulp
Beaten to a pulp
Worse off than before
As The Youth:
You want to put more money in school
What exactly do you think your gonna improve
Just trying to show that you care about the youth
Were just another point to prove
Cause the systems wronged me in so many different ways
Instead their changing lunch trays
And though the teachers get better pay/
The system stays the same
That's all we are as the youth
Just another point for politicians to use
And they talk about money and they talk about funding
But when I look for change I see nothing
Let them know

What They Teach
00:24
|
|||
|
I feel like I'm being taught to betray myself
Cause what I learn I don't believe
I play the game cause it's what they teach
what I learn I don't believe
I play the game cause change is out of reach
I know what I am
I know what I believe
Still they think one day I'll come around
I won't give in I won't let down
Cause what I learn I don't believe
I play the game cause it's what they teach

Too Much
00:47
|
|||
|
It's coming at me
From all directions
Everybody
With all their perfections
Too much standard in my consumption
Too much
Too much buying
Not enough making
Too much watching
Not enough Creating

One Or The Other
00:44

I think about the days that went faster
Than every night I dreaded my return
I don't remember what I did I just know I'd done it before
And though it feels like a few days I know it was more
Is this what I'm supposed to learn?
The daily grind of life
I stopped doing everything I loved and stopped caring that I had
Than I looked at everyone else
They all did the same
Giving up so they can make enough
Living for themselves by playing the game
Forgetting the care we had for each other
Cause in this world it's one or the other

I don't want it
Get it away

Common Ground
01:19
|
|||
|
(From Chumbawamba Old Songs)
As long as were separate struggling along
We'll never discover our common goal
Black Lives Matter could bring us together
Supporting the movement we could work for something better
They keep us apart by shifting the blame
Separate cages frightened to tame
They say what the movement does won't affect me
And they'll pick us all off cause we couldn't agree

The Voice That Echoes
00:52
|
|||
|
Wrapped in the thought of a place
Where the world is at peace
She pushes away the horror
Of the crater filled streets
She has no defense
For the soldiers that march
Toward her burning home
All she can do is cry out
You have destroyed everything I call home
Do not step on this rubble as if it's yours
Leave me to remember the families you've killed
Walk back out the trail of blood you spilt
The voice will echo
But they won't listen
Cause a soldier does as a soldiers told
And takes a step forward
Guns aiming readily
She slides down the brick
Huddled in a corner to think once more
Of a world without war
They destroy
The dream of peace
We must save
By any means

Careless
00:58
|
|||
|
Born to this world
Just so great
They knocked you out
With all their hate
Pressured into society
Through the way the educate
You were struggling with depression
They wondered why
Please let me help
Before you die
They'll call it suicide
I'll call it carelessness

Do It Myself
00:27
|
|||
|
Done with people
Telling me what to do
Give me a project
Instruct me all the way through
Do It Myself
Done with people
Who, when I ask for help
Say I can't do it
And suggest something else
Do It Myself
|

The Other Point Of View
00:48
|
|||
|
Destroy capitalism
Destroy all businesses
No more advertising sexist images
Forget the current standard of success
And remember that we have something else
Who we are and the things we love doing
It means nothing to these systems
Get a job, go to school
Join their perfect working force
Together taking down our creative right
To find out who we are and the things we want to do
They'll do anything for cash
And want us like minded
Molded around a cog
So business gets what they want
It doesn’t matter that were different
you need us
Bending down to you
So put us in school

Rise Of The Masses
00:52
|
|||
|
I wish I could feel something
Other than the anger I have at myself
For harboring the ignorance inside
And letting the days slip away
Mind numbing routine of daily work
I let you steal my hand to pick up dirt
Off the machine that covers
Needy hands reaching out
What could I say to make it change
I feel better that just makes it worse
I have no motivation to help the hurt
The blank page describes how I feel
So I turn away
And find a thousand different ways to say apathy
Time will turn against you
And I will grow out
My purpose here is to save
What you carelessly throw away
The ones you take for granted, we will awake
And we will change it

Stress Fractures
01:44
|
|||
|
You've given me career choices
And spun the clock to adulthood
The pressures on and I’m left
Lost in these juvenile dreams
I can not
Give it up
You cared to give me choices
Cause mine aren’t fit for this world
I have to leave it all behind
I thought you were the enemy
But now I know
you were right
But I can not let go
You’ve dragged me through the halls
Forced me on this path
It’s not where I belong
Not in this building
The lights flicker, the sun is gone
I Sit at a desk, eyes to the window
Searching intently for another place to go
I’m dead here
Filled with anxiety and dread
But inside I feel the real truth
I’ve tried to express it
But no one feels a thing
We're all nothing here
