Sick Of It All

"Scratch The Surface"

"Scratch The Surface"

Scratch the surface serve a purpose
scratch the surface don't waste my time

Such empty life
night after night
all hidden faults
such shallow sight

Such simple sheep
herd to the creeps
beauty is null
barely skin deep

What is the force that drives the superficial
tell me what keeps their minds remaining little
What is the force that drives the superficial
tell me what keeps their minds remaining
so afraid of what they'd see underneath the fantasy
so afraid to actually scratch the surface

Scratch the surface serve a purpose
scratch the surface don't waste my time

All mirrors hide
failure inside
that's maybe why
they take so much time

Big money lies
big lying eyes
eyes are the soul
big dollar signs

What is the force that drives the superficial
tell me what keeps their minds remaining little
What is the force that drives the superficial
tell me what keeps their minds remaining
so afraid of what they'd see underneath the fantasy
so afraid to actually scratch the surface

Scratch the surface serve a purpose
scratch the surface don't waste my time

"Shut Me Out"

"Shut Me Out"

Pressure cooker about to explode
the ignorant ones are litenin' to fools
radical factions add fuel to the fire
to satisfy their hateful desire

We as the innocent suffer the most
paying for crimes we did not commit
here to serve penance for history's sins
detested for something we've never been

All their grandstands, all their big plans
didn't change a damn thing
how could you explain
I don't know your pain
understanding how you shut me out
trust - is lost - we'll gain it back
give us the chance
look in our past and what do you see
history of violence for centuries
the truth isn't written in history's page
this is the source of frustration and rage
we have no rights to ask for your trust
to gain your acceptance we'll do what we must
we'll make a stand for whatever's right
we'll make a stand equal and tight

Shut me out don't you
shut me out don't you
shut me out don't you
shut me out

"Sidelined"

"Sidelined"

When I was distracted
and tricked to look away
Cowering from menace
I would capitulate

ONE BY ONE,
My freedoms slipped away
ONE BY ONE,
My senses dulled

I was sidelined, SIDELINED
Easy to be cast aside, Incorrect to accept
this captive position
I was sidelined, SIDELINED
Easy to be cast aside, Incorrect to accept
the thin veil of national pride

When I let my guard down
I heard the demagogues
Cunning with their language
I joined up with the mob

ONE BY ONE, I fell for clever threats
ONE BY ONE, I danced with demons

I was sidelined, SIDELINED
Easy to be cast aside, Incorrect to accept
this captive position
I was sidelined, SIDELINED
Easy to be cast aside, Incorrect to accept
the thin veil of national pride,
but now I'm opening my eyes

TRUTH AND GUIDANCE, made clear by outright lies
TRUTH AND GUIDANCE, two things we've been denied

TRYING TO FIGHT OUT OF THIS PAPER BAG
Trying to find my way and take this country back
TRYING TO FIGHT OUT OF THIS PAPER BAG
Trying to figure out how to throw around these
undervalued hands

"Silence"

"Silence"

So I take that you thought
Some things are better left unsaid
You chose your inhibitions
Over what I should comprehend
What could have been done
To keep me from going astray
Begging for direction
But not pointed out the way

Silence, silence doesn't teach
Silence, silence doesn't lead
Silence, where did I end up
In a self-destructive rut

Do I think I'm stronger because I learned my own way
I just think I'm lucky to have made it out unscathed
Now I'm thinking I resent the counsel that I lacked
All the words I didn't hear could have saved my past

Silence, silence doesn't teach
Silence, silence doesn't lead
Silence, where did I end up
In a self-destructive rut

Silence is deafening
You don't say
Silence is deafening

The corrupt light shines
The corrupt light blinds
Time to shrink, time to hide
Time to guard what's inside

The street didn't gently take me under their wing
The street is so dirty and I feel unclean
Silence is deafening when guidance is sought
Silence is deafening, and now I'm haunted

"Soul Be Free"

"Soul Be Free"

Soul be free.
Not chained in any way be petty jealousy
Soul be free.
Not bound in any way by selfishness or greed
The bounds that were formed over the years.
Suddenly so flimsy and weak
So did they ever exist?
I just watched as my life was criticized so I could
judge who had my happiness in mind.

My best interest isn't your best interest.
Count me out it I'm to serve you further.
My best interest isn't your best interest.
Let me out if it's that one-sided.
Let them do what they do and make a list.
Check it out and see what friends amount to shit.
I want the best for the souls that are close to me.
I won't stand in the way of their happiness.
I want the best for the souls that are dear to me.
I won't stand in the way of their freedom
Their calling, their destiny.

"Sound The Alarm"

"Sound The Alarm"

Listen! Oh you've heard it before
As they tighten the noose we still ignore
The truth, the proof as freedom dies
Or are we just being paranoid

THINK WE'RE SAFE
SAFE FROM HARM
STAND UP NOW
SOUND THE ALARM

Won't see the truth or open your eyes
Spent your whole life caught in their lies
Keep your nose clean, live by their laws
What will you do when they kick in your door
WHO WILL SAVE YOU

Comfort is what we crave
The truth is disturbing vile and brave
Chastise the ones who bring it to light
With your head in the sand you wait to die

THINK WE'RE SAFE
SAFE FROM HARM
STAND UP NOW
SOUND THE ALARM

Won't see the truth or open your eyes
Spent your whole life caught in their lies
Keep your nose clean, live by their laws
What will you do when they kick in your door
WHO WILL SAVE YOU WHO WILL SAVE YOU NOW

WAKE UP, We're all fighting to get by
WAKE UP, Locked in place and kept blind
WAKE UP, Break the hold break the norm
WAKE UP, Stand and fight sound the alarm

WHO WILL SAVE YOU NOW?

"Souvenir"

"Souvenir"

I found a souvenir
In things I collected
The effect it had on me
Turned out distressing.
Instead of focusing on my past rejoicing
It just reminded me of awkward emotions.
Thoughts of my innocence
Like alienation
No self identity and massive confusion.
I wanted desperately to think of the good times
Guess I remember too much.
Guess I would rather look at
The path in front of me that's holding something new.
Does it really do the trick when you're reunited
Does it make you stop and think
Things weren't meant to click.
Does it really do the trick to be taken back
Does it make you stop and think
Of all the things you lacked.
Time can give and take away at will
Don't look back and don't stand still
Cause time will bleed you dry.
A little sympathy please for the petty bastards
Who feel their glory days are behind them.
So far behind them
The person that they thought made such a difference
Isn't even who they are now
And they refuse to see how
Everyday's another chance to mend a petty life.
Does it really do the trick when you're reunited
Does it make you stop and think
Things weren't meant to click.
Does it really do the trick to be taken back
Does it make you stop and think
Of all the things you lacked.
Time can give and take away at will
Don't look back, don't stand still
Because time will bleed you dry.
Bled dry
Bled dry of motivation
Bled dry of motivation
Bled dry
A desert of ambition, a desert of ambition.
Bled dry
Discarded by the wayside, discarded by the wayside,
Bled dry and left for dead

"Step Down"

"Step Down"

In the underground, integrity lies within
in the underground, image doesn't mean a thing
when the substance lacks it's plain for all to see
if the deal is right then respect is where it should be.

For the fakes and frauds it's a fucking fashion show
total compromise will have them sell their soul.
all the negative all the useless influence
all the emptiness all the violent detriment
makes no sense...

Please have more to give than fashion and images
please have more to give than fashion and images

Caught up in a trap of media crap that's no way to live
Caught up in a trap of media crap so little to give
Caught up in a trap of media crap that's no way to live
Caught up in a trap of media crap so little to give

In the underground, integrity lies within
in the underground, image doesn't mean a thing
we can do away with this negativity
it's a golden day we can force them to stepdown

"Stick Together"

"Stick Together"

Growing anger fills my head

Always trying to make things better
make things better with fantasy
Open your eyes and you'll see better
see it's up to you and me

Make an effort, do what you can
anything's better than sitting on your ass
Sing a song, scream and shout
hoping that someone here is down

Always trying to make things better
make things better with fantasy
Open your eyes and you'll see better
see it's up to you and me
To fight for all the things we believe in

Always trying to make things better
make things better with fantasy
Open your eyes and you'll see better
see it's up to you and me
To fight for all the things we believe in

"Stood For Nothing"

"Stood For Nothing"

Desperate Little You
We've seen the act and it won't do
Helpless Pathetic you
It's always something, It's always something

Stood For Nothing [x4]

Show some pride, show something
You got no heart, you got nothing
Help me stay true so I'll never be like you

Stood for Nothing [x4]
(you stood for nothing)

It's all good I still believe in myself, humanity
It's all good I still believe - that's the way it's gotta be

Stood For Nothing [x3] - Piss in the dirt
