Rage

And so night approaches
Darkness encroaches
My thoughts take a sinister turn
This old dog will never learn

Going underground
Somewhere never found
Society gets what society wants
Heroes made of vacuous c*nts

My role models are true
Men that died for red white and blue
Windows smashed and xboxes stolen for fun
Working men lose at the hands of their neighbour's son

No rebellion, no shared ideal
No common thread keeping it real
This isn't a generation lost
It's one that bows to the cost

Where is the youth that rebels for a reason
This is greed, never gonna be treason
Stand up for your future while you can
Rage against the machine and fuck the man

Lost People

Under the sheet. Lovers meet. Lost people. Swept from their feet. Blue twisted places. Unknown faces. Lost people. That the mind erases. Pretty little stars. Speeding cars. Lost people.

Summertime

And the living Is easy, Fish are jumping, And we're all getting high. Your daddy's rich, And your mamma is good looking, So let's have a barbie tomorrow and make sure the chicken is cooked thoroughly.

I'm Just A Daughter Of Modern Society

I'm just a daughter. Of a lack of understanding,. Of life, over-demanding,. Of not in work or training,. Of soap-opera complaining,. Of missing pieces,. Of get-my-quick releases,.

Cowards Metal

This ones for all. The twats and the pricks. The ones who drive drunken. The ones who kill kids. The ones who rip families. Apart with their cars. Pushing metal into metal.

Helpless.

I'm a pebble in the centre of the earth for all to see. I put on my mask before I wake and be the man that I'm supposed to be.
