Sick Of It All

"Nobody Rules"

"Nobody Rules"


Whose voice is loudest? What do they say?
What earns them positions of authority?
No one’s got the answers - NOBODY RULES
No one’s more than human - NOBODY RULES

These ancient words echo so much
Why has the modern world not had enough?
No one’s got the answers - NOBODY RULES
No one’s more than human - NOBODY RULES

Don’t pay filthy people to give praise
No one’s filthy hands wash clean
Don’t pay to be a slave

Don’t give these mortal words eternal life
Question every angle and possible side
No one’s got the answers - NOBODY RULES
No one’s more than human and NOBODY RULES

The killing fields speak for us
We value words before we value life
And we’re so willing and eager
The killing fields show what we’re made of
Where our conceit and cruelty converge
And we’ll stop at nothing

Pity, such a pity, how deadly simple words can be
People misguided, nearsighted, can be molded like clay
Pity, we can’t break free, this prison of the mind
It’s the fucking blind leading the blind

Bullshit righteous - NOBODY RULES
How dare they act so pious? - NOBODY RULES
No one’s got the answers - NOBODY RULES
No one’s more than human and NOBODY RULES

"Now It's Gone"

"Now It's Gone"


Where'd go, how'd pass, when did we lose it
that was us, yesterday, runnin' 'round care free
never thought it would end, never thought about time
now we stand, stand alone, not by choice, by fate

In my mind I can see visions of what used to be
all the fun, the suffering, was it just for memories
as I reach out for my past, it disappears
the pain will last
anger builds, I'm holding on
it slips away / and / now / it's / gone

Tighter than family, nothing could get in
all but time, wore away, things went by too fast
ideals change, people change, friends are gone moved on
some of us, drift apart, and those hurt the most

"On The Brink"

"On The Brink"


When we're on the brink
We'd kill for something to happen
When we're on the brink
We'd kill for something to do

Another day, another night that seems like an eternity
Another day, another night that someone might
Turn this boredom around
See the drugs, see the violence and the pure stupidity
The bad will, the malicious kind of thrill
Keeps the boredom down

Another victim, another crime
Misadventure, a tragic use of idle time
Another victim, another crime
The excitement of straying from the straight line

"One Step Ahead"

"One Step Ahead"


It's right, you know it
can't you see you're just fooling yourself
it's here, reveal it - all the feelings just lead you to blow it
something special is undeniably run of the mill

Who is accepted, who to reject, who is neglected
who can make the choice
who is admitted, who is denied, who can discern with the human eye

It's wrong, you know it
your gut should be telling you why
avoid it, discard it
avoid it, put it aside, now

So who is accepted, who to reject v who is neglected
who can make the choice
who is admitted, who is denied
who can discern
filled with human error

elusive answers stay just one step ahead
useless effort, always one step ahead
Think about it
the more you learn, the less you know
the more you learn, the less you know
You know

The more you look, the less you find
the more you look, the less you find
who can say they're satisfied
who can say they've found the answers
elusive answers stay just one step ahead

"Outgunned"

"Outgunned"


Dig in deep here it comes,
we're in this for the long run,
brace yourselves now and hold on tight
A target painted on our backs,
'cause we choose our own path
let it shine to separate us from everyone

ODDS STACKED AGAINST US
WE NEVER RUN
ALWAYS OUTNUMBERED
NEVER OUTGUNNED

Faced with challenge,
face with strife,
will we fall or stand up high
do we crumble underneath or rise above
Always on the outside,
castaway, written off
forever the underdog so bring it on

ODDS STACKED AGAINST US
WE NEVER RUN
ALWAYS OUTNUMBERED
NEVER OUTGUNNED

The world will test us, again and again
surmounting pressure
NEVER GIVE IN, NEVER GIVE IN
You get knocked down,
Get right back up
Always out numbered
NEVER OUTGUNNED

Dig in deep here it comes
The last stand, the defiant ones
Now's the time to rise and live or die like dogs
The odds are stacked against us
We never run, we never hide
Always out numbered
NEVER OUTGUNNED

"Paper Tiger (Fakin' The Punk)"

"Paper Tiger (Fakin' The Punk)"


Once there was a purpose, once there was a voice
Its gotten so deluded, robbed of its claws
Picked, stripped, bones clean
Left the heart, took what you need
Watered down, now it's just a parody

Once there was a reason, once there was a soul
Now just a paper tiger, roaring at the mall
Picked, stripped, bones clean
You've got the look, you've got the style
Left the substance, in a year where will you be

Somebody's fakin' it
Somebody's fakin' it
Somebody's fakin' it
Somebody's fake

Call you out, its not a comodity
Call you out, without integrity
Call you out, or an ego driven game
Call you out, let you in with open arms and open mind
You had a taste
You turn around, spit it out
And slap it right in the face

Somebody's fakin' it
Look at them they're fakin' it
Fakin' the punk

"Part Of History"

"Part Of History"


The greatest scam of all
Official tricks
can't change what we saw

Rats are in control
With no moral code
Now they have shown
They would gladly

EAT THEIR OWN

So much was laid
to waste
We fell in line to trade
eye for an eye

Rats are in control
With no moral code
Now they have shown
They would gladly

EAT THEIR OWN

Devoid of wreckage that you'd expect
A bogus premise made plausible to everyone

I've got to hand it to the fucking rats
EVERYONE'S BEEN SUCKERED
EVERYONE'S BEEN SOLD
And now it's part of history

Dark agendas are imposed
Shameful truths not exposed
Now it's part of history,
it's a taboo
Now it's a nation's burden

"Pass The Buck"

"Pass The Buck"


Close your eyes and you're sure to see apathy
pass the buck so you don't show sympathy
the beaten path don't let it lead you misery
the fear you hold will only cheat you
don't let it eat you like a cancer
we all pay for the shit we do
pass the buck not to me
out of touch with the things that set us free
pass the buck not to me
out of touch sitting back while we watch 'em bleed
senseless, have we gone numb
youth led by image, what have we become
heartless it's the way to be
maybe it's for you but it's not for me
not for me

"Pete's Sake"

"Pete's Sake"


I don't fucking understand you
You always tell me to think for myself
But when I disagree with what you say
You turn around and put me down
I don't know why you have to play
These high and mighty power trip games

Your double standards are pissing me off
You've got a set of rules for you and another for us
You're no better, you're no worse
But it's time you stop acting like a fucking jerk

I don't fucking understand you
You always tell me to think for myself
But when I disagree with what you say
You turn around and put me down
I don't know why you have to play
These high and mighty power trip games
I really wish you would quit
'Cause we know you're full of shit

"Potential For A Fall"

"Potential For A Fall"


Here's another tale, a replay of society's failures
Out for ourselves, bred to consume in pursuit of wealth
And the ones in charge, once secure show disregard
For future generations who must endure what's left behind

No compassion, no caution, no forethought
Potential for a fall
No forethought, no vision, no future
Potential for a fall
Go about our lives as we turn a blind eye
As long as I get mine
Potential for a fall
Submissive, complacent, sit back and let it slip away
Just can't seem to hold it together

And yet we continue with the charade of being individuals
As we get spoon-fed, kept in check by the latest trends
Are we that shallow? is getting your groove on all that matters
I'm not asking you to bleed but show consideration please
Sit back and let it slip away
We can't seem to hold it together we can't seem to get it right
