Surf Nicaragua

Surf Nicaragua

[Lyrics: Phil]
[Music: Phil]

I know a place
Where you're all going to go
They'll pay you to kill
If You're eighteen years old
First You'll need a haircut
And then some new clothes
They'll stick you in a jungle
To play G.I. Joe

[CHORUS:]

You fight for democracy
And the "American Way"
But you're not in your country
"What am I doing here?" you say
But now it's too late
You're entering Managua
If you had brought your surfboard
You could surf Nicaragua

What is this we're fighting for
What's our ultimate goal
To force our ideas
Right down their throats
American Intervention
Grows Deeper Everyday
The situation worsens
More soldiers on the way

[CHORUS:]

You fight for democracy
And the "American Way"
But you're not in your country
"What am I doing here?" you say
But now it's too late
You're entering Managua
If you had brought your surfboard
You could surf Nicaragua

Lessons we have learned
Are easy to forget
Hints of viet-nam
How soon we all forget
First we send advisors
And then go the troops
Another worthless conflict
Another Chance to lose

[CHORUS:]

You fight for democracy
And the "American Way"
But you're not in your country
"What am I doing here?" you say
But now it's too late
You're entering Managua
If you had brought your surfboard
You could surf Nicaragua

One Nation

One Nation

[Lyrics: Phil]
[Music: Phil and Wiley]

A vision of unselfishness
A union of black and white
One nation of all races
It's clear within my sight
I see it clear, no hate, no fear
No soldiers sent to die
A state that's free, and thrives on peace
No greed, no threat to life
We will not build the weapons of war
Which loom over your heads
We will not feed the war machine
Which leads our youth to death
We will not close our eyes
To the atrocities which abound
We will not stand and watch
Until we're six feet underground

[CHORUS:]
The future is our burden
We cannot stand and watch
As the world around us crumbles
And opposing armies march
We will work towards our goal
One nation unity
And you must be the converts
Who work towards world peace

There are those around us
Who stand and say no way
Opposing lessened armies
They are here to stay
But no one knows until we try
What we all can do
I won't stand by, watch children die
It's up to me and you
Our world is divided
The boundaries have been drawn
Your ideas are decided
By where you have been born
We can't judge people
By the government of their land
They're flesh and blood like us

[CHORUS:]

[CHORUS:]
The future is our burden
We cannot stand and watch
As the world around us crumbles
And opposing armies march
We will work towards our goal
One nation unity
And you must be the converts
Who work towards world peace

Draining You Of Life

Draining You Of Life

[Lyrics: Phil]
[Music: Phil]

Falling from the helliah skies
And draining you of life
The darkness masks the evil body
Then is gone into the night
Hypnotic stare, you're drawn away
He's taken your soul from within
Fleeing to crypts at dawn
The terror for now will end

[CHORUS:]

Arising from infernal tombs
And draining you of blood
Insatiable appetite not fulfilled
The count's feeding ritual undone
To keep warm blood on his lips
For centuries to come
Not to let the dead souls rest
A blood drained corpse when he's done

Returning to the coffin
Sanctuary from the light
Drifting to a peaceful sleep
Waiting for the dark of night
Looking to the sunset
As light now slips away
Spreading wings of horror
Locking jaws of death

[CHORUS:]

Arising from infernal tombs
And draining you of blood
Insatiable appetite not fulfilled
The count's feeding ritual undone
To keep warm blood on his lips
For centuries to come
Not to let the dead souls rest
A blood drained corpse when he's done

Feeding on the minds of man
And lifeblood flowing through your veins
Stalking you with burning eyes
Then ripping out your brains
The bewitching hour midnight
Gives life to phantom form
Taking human souls
Beware you've been warned

[CHORUS:]

Arising from infernal tombs
And draining you of blood
Insatiable appetite not fulfilled
The count's feeding ritual undone
To keep warm blood on his lips
For centuries to come
Not to let the dead souls rest
A blood drained corpse when he's done

Ignorance (Live)

Ignorance (Live)

Evil minds bend on destruction
Ignoring the pleas of their race
The final chapter in humanic abduction
All signs of society erased
People asking fewer questions
Letting politicians do their thinking
Not questioning nuclear judgement
As warheads enter our space

Our atmosphere clouded with poison
We're killing ourselves to live
Filling the world with hate and dissention
We'll have only our lives to give
What we do now is the key to the future
We'll only have ourselves to blame
For arming the world with the tools of destruction
Our ignorance means death

Warring on opposite nations
Starvation amongst impoverished nations
Outlook bleak for the world residue
Ignorance of mankind
Clouding the world with residue
Of man's toxic industry
Slowly killing nameless victims
Whose ignorance leaves them dead

Our atmosphere clouded with poison
We're killing ourselves to live
Filling the world with hate and dissention
We'll have only our lives to give
What we do now is the key to the future
We'll only have ourselves to blame
For arming the world with the tools of destruction
Our ignorance means death

We're crowded with anger inventions of danger
From man's diabolical mind
Humanities dying no use in trying
It's only a matter of time
How long will it be before there's no air to breathe
And our water is polluted water
Ignorance runs rampant no one is caring
Suicide of the human race

Ignorance

Death Squad (Live)

Death Squad (Live)

Putting to dead those who oppose you
Will take control, no matter the cost
Bodies are mounting the carnage around you
At the last count, 10.000 have died

Taken by force
Controlled by fear
Death squad police of the right
Must stamp out subversion
Dissention, unrest
Those who oppose will meet death

Automatic weapons in hand
You say you're what the police want
Why must you kill them to secure their vote
Death squad escort them to the polls

Puppet regime with you at the head
You've rid them of a communist threat
Your brand of "democracy" is now in control
And all of your people lie dead

Taken by force
Controlled by fear
Death squad police of the right
Must stamp out subversion
Dissention, unrest
Those who oppose will meet death

"Democracy" at any cost
The methods of freedom unclear
Right-wing radicals, abusing control
The choice will be democracy of death

Love...Hate

Love...Hate

In a world so big and cold you seem so all alone then someone enters
your life and makes it all seem right sometimes things do change love
turns to bitter rage and you say "Never again" but emotions always
mend
It's the root of all disharmony but it's the need to feel complete it's a
physical attraction a chemical reaction a walking contradiction a push,
pull affliction it's a love...hate relationship
You can see it in our band we're all so different every solution we
come to starts with an argument but through adversity the music's in our
heart we'll stay together you can't tear us apart
It's the root of all disharmony but it's the need to feel complete it's a
physical attraction a chemical reaction a walking contradiction a push,
pull affliction it's a love...hate relationship
Love...hate is it one in the same I can't differentiate between love and
hate love...hate is it one in the same I can't differentiate between love
and hate I hate to love, I love to hate you love and hate is it one in the
same love...hate
We always take for granted the one's that love we think they'll always
be there and we treat them as such but if we really make an effort to
show them that we care our love will shine through and the hate will
disappear
It's the root of all disharmony but it's the need to feel complete it's a
physical attraction a chemical reaction a walking contradiction a push,
pull affliction it's a love...hate relationship

The American Way

The American Way

Truth and honor faith and pride all convictions surely died honesties
time has passed time for lies is here at last truth is false I'm so fed up
how did we come to be so fucked hate fear pain death all our country
has got left
Talk to children hear them say daddy left again today brother steals and
mommy lies future lost before their eyes the sun was lost behind the
clouds they rapped it up and blacked it out acid rain fell today it came
and washed our hopes away
This was once the land of dreams now these dreams have turned to
greed in the midst of all this wealth the poor are left to help themselves
a capitalist's democracy no one said that freedom's free lady liberty rots
away no truth, no justice the American way
Don't look past your t.v. all of us are what you see a looking glass into
our lives what we watch is what we buy priorities are out of whack
who is next to stab our back doesn't it make you mad to have lost all that
we've had
This was once the land of dreams now these dreams have turned to
greed in the midst of all this wealth the poor are left to help themselves
a capitalist's democracy no one said that freedom's free lady liberty rots
away no truth, no justice the American way
Doesn't it fill you with disgust that there's no one left to trust is this
happening is this real my body numb I cannot feel are you happy are you
sad are emotions a thing of the past I have no tears I cannot cry no one
mourns for a world that's died
This was once the land of dreams now these dreams have turned to
greed in the midst of all this wealth the poor are left to help themselves
a capitalist's democracy no one said that freedom's free lady liberty rots
away no truth, no justice the American way

The Way It Is

The Way It Is

We knew your reputation we hoped that things could be different but
you just proved us wrong and now you're up to your same old tricks I
guess we learned a lesson that people don't change overnight things will
work out well with a little hard work it'll be alright
How could we be so foolish to rush head first, without a thought I guess
it goes to show if your unprepared you will be caught but now we've
learned a lesson a lesson which we won't forget with our newfound
wisdom things'll work out in the end
This is the way it is not how things should be this is the way it is this is
reality
This is the way it is not how things should be this is the way it is this is
reality
You seemed so sincere we'd work together it'd be lot's of fun but all
you saw was money it's not the issue 'til the music's done to you it's
doing business to us it's doing what we love we'll just do our thing we
won't give in for a buck
This is the way it is not how things should be this is the way it is this is
reality
This is the way it is not how things should be this is the way it is this is
reality
Like a soul attaining heaven we must ascend to greater heights got to
make a change got to make a change, the time is right now I wish you
well and thank you for what you've done for me to quote you "Mr.
Businessman" there's things in life that aren't free
This is the way it is not how things should be this is the way it is this is
reality
This is the way it is not how things should be this is the way it is this is
Reality

Crimes Against Humanity

Crimes Against Humanity

Toxins, pollutants and poisonous gasses without notice take their toll on
the masses air becomes thicker than the water we drink people unaware
of the spread of disease smoke fills the sky and the sun disappears rain
from above is like acid filled tears the fragile balance of sky and earth
has been altered forever harmony disturbed
Towering temples of modernization megatropolis monument to
civilization pollution and waste is direct indication to the growing
problem of the world's situation smoke fills the sky the sun disappears
rain from above is like acid filled tears the fragile balance of sky and
earth has been altered forever harmony disturbed
What will it take to make us see these are crimes against humanity not
only you, not only me but even our future society these are crimes against
humanity
Pain and suffering are what can be found violence and hatred are what
abound building the weapons that we can't use can't we see they have
only one use we need more compassion not more war planes are we so
blind uncaring insane brought into this world with nothing and with
nothing we're destined to depart
What will it take to make us see these are crimes against humanity not
only you, not only me but even our future society these are crimes against
humanity
Crimes against humanity
