Punch Me 01:04
I took my anger for granted Till I became apathetic Busting ass at everything I did And thriving on 3 hours of sleep But now it's hard to get out of bed And my inner rage is not so deep I'm overwhelmed and jaded There's just too much to hate So sick of this static place This bored and expressionless face If you see me on the street Punch me in the face When I drift away Pull me back in Drag me out of bed Down the hall Out the door Into the world And hit me So sick of this static place This bored and expressionless face If you see me on the street Punch me in the face

Tapeworm 01:32
Such a pretty thing you see Such an uninspired dream Such a simple way of life You're gonna get it, you know you're gonna work Depressions and recessions Every year you make concessions Just so you can reap future benefits And on and on But it just keeps going, going, going, And your savings aren't growing But you'll reap the seeds you're sowing When your hair is thin and gray You're here cause you don't know What else to do And you'll listen to anyone Who says what isn't true So you can carry that dream Deep inside of you Like a tapeworm Your life is understated You're uncomfortable and hate it But you think that you can save it If you just keep holding on So you double down on labor But it ain't doing you no favors Because you're still waiting for a savior To save you from this hell You're here cause you don't know What else to do And you'll listen to anyone Who says what isn't true So you can carry that dream Deep inside of you Like a tapeworm

Statistics 01:01
Answer, Answer, Answer, for everything From the, upper, middle-class right wing They tell you, you had, the same opportunity They tell you, they tell you, they tell you you're lazy Statistics never lie But liars use statistics And when they wanna fight They'll take them out of context To justify the world As they wanna see it To justify the world And all the lies they sell to you

Basement 02:04
Black and white patches Black leather jackets Holed up in a basement Causing a racket Every single day Life's piling on the shit Fed up, fed up, fed up with it You're up against the system Up against the wall Up against the government Until the cops get called
