Death By Stereo Album

I don't think God's broke
So I don't give a shit.
You're paying through your teeth
Don't think you're getting it.
Put your money where your mouth is
Let's go heal the sick.
Let's see some miracles now
I'm drowning in bullshit!
In the face of defeat we must rise again.
In this world of deceit we must never bend.
When you end up on the bottom
I'll rise to the top.
Don't put the brakes on now
'cause I will never stop.

I don't wanna pay
This is not a life.
Will you just let me
Die! die!
Sacrifice my soul
Don't have to waste my time.
I'd rather curl up and
Die! die!
I don't wanna pay
This is not a life.
Pass the plate
Watch the blood drip from your hands!

Brainwashed victims talk to God for a nominal fee.
Drop a coin in the can
Hell no!
Not me!
Your parents and your teachers
They're all robots too!
Leading sheep to the slaughter
Kids like me and you!
Bible thumpers
Disguised as your favorite band.
Spreading hate and propaganda across God's great land.
Taking advantage
Of all your parents' money.
Open your eyes, man.
Don't you think it's kinda funny?

I don't wanna pay
This is not a life.
Will you just let me
Die! die!
Sacrifice my soul
Don't have to waste my time.
I'd rather curl up and
Die! die!
I don't wanna pay
This is not a life.
Pass the plate
Watch the blood drip from your hands!
From your hands!

Nooooooooo!
I don't wanna pay
This is not a life.
Will you just let me
Die! die!
Sacrifice my soul
Don't have to waste my time.
I'd rather curl up and
Die! die!
I don't wanna pay
This is not a life.
Will you just let me
Die! die!
Sacrifice my soul
Don't have to waste my time.
I'd rather curl up and
Diiiiiiie!

Make a fool of me
And put me in my place.
Make me feel alone
Inside a crowded place.
You think my life is just
A piece of fucking waste.
You can't break my stride!
Whatcha gonna do
When the tables turn?
Make a break for it
You better fucking run!
You can tell your friends
Look out for number 1.
You can't break my stride!

You can't break my stride
You can't change my mind.
I've been here for some time now.
The advantage' is all' mine.

Make a fool of me
And put me in my place.
Make me feel alone
Inside a crowded place.
You think my life is just
A piece of fucking waste.
You can't break my stride!
Whatcha gonna do
When the tables turn?
Make a break for it
You better fucking run!
My words will make you cry
Just like a can of mace.
Whatcha gonna do
when death is in your
Faaaaace.

You can't break my stride
You can't change my mind.
I've been here for some time now.
The advantage' is all' is all' is all' is all'
miiiiiiiine.

Too much time is wasted.
You can't even face it.
Look in the mirror and see
You're ugly just like me.
Too much life is wasted.
Your vanity has taken your mindset.
Look in the mirror and see
The problem is you, not me.

YOU!
Yeah!
Not!
Meeeeeeeeee!

G�g�g�g�g�g�g�GO!
Go!
Yeah!
You take apart our little town
And now you think we're number 1.
Sweeping dirt under the rug
Hiding truth from everyone.
You're making this place prosperous
For dirty pigs and corporate whores.
You can't make them disappear
You can't dislocate the fear.

You can't dislocate the fear.
You can't make men disappear.
You can't hide from the truth
Anymore!

Yeah!
Yeah!
Now listen.
You take away their only place
Now where are they supposed to live?
All you see is trash and waste
To them you do not want to give.
All you see is dollar signs
Flashing on the 91.
You can have your piece of mind
They're living life
On the run!

You can't dislocate the fear. (You can't dislocate the feeeeeear!)
You can't make men disappear.
You can't hide from the truth
Anymore!

You can't dislocate the fear.
You can't make men disappear.
You can't hide from the truth
Anymore!

You can bulldoze buildings.
You can move mountains.
You can't hide from the people
Anymore!

You push 'em away
They move back in!
You can't hide from the truth!

You take away their only place.
You try to crush their will to live.
The path you walk is paved with gold
The place they sleep is lined with shit!
Sweep that shit under the rug
It slips right out from under feet.
Point the blame at someone else
It shoots you right back in the feet.
Clear out homes for peace of mind.
It shows your fear,
you're fucking weak.
Every time you turn your back
You admit your own defeat.
STOP!

Burned a hole straight through my heart
Burned a hole straight through my heart
you burned a hold straight through my fucking heart
You had a hidden agenda from the start
Pennies in your pocket, knives in our backs
Money can't compensate when music lacks

You can't take our pride
I'm going to win this time
You can't buy this life
I worked to make it mine
You can't fake this pride
I stand tall defy
You can't take this life
We hold it deep inside

No friends left to burn
You can't take our pride
I'm going to win this time
You can't buy this life
I worked to make it mine
You can't fake this pride
I stand tall defy
You can't take this life
We hold it deep inside
No stones left unturned

Make no bones about it
Yours will surely be broken
Ruin a friendship over some tokens
When you look in the mirror
Tell me who do you see
Shattered reflection of a worthless being
And as you stand in broken glass
Your memory is swept up with the ash
No world to return
All your friends that you have burned
And when you open up your eyes
See through clouded skies
Thats when you realize you're all alone

And if you put a gun to my head
And asked me
Do I want to live in your world
Or would I rather be dead?
I wouldn't stop you from pulling the trigger

Money can't compensate when music lacks
now the knife's in your back

Thanks to Angela ([email protected]) for these lyrics

what the fuck?!
what the fuck were you thinking?
Pull the wool over, cover my eyes
with your false truths and you blatant lies
see complacement stares
through controlling eyes
pull the wool over, cover my eyes

enforcing all your rules through policemen and tv
you are the worlds greatest artist
schoolbooks are you tapestry
woven intertwining hate controlled by your ministry
i hold the scissors in my hand
cut the fabric, make you bleed

pull the wool over, cover my eyes
we are the ones that make you weak
pull the wool over, cover my eyes
you sick infection a disease
pull the wool over, cover my eyes
i want to see you on your knees
pull the wool over, cover my eyes
false idols, cheap thrills, fucking sleaze

Paint a pretty picture, you control the weak
you sell your lies, your drugs, your hate
you sell us our own agony
put yourself in another man's shoes
remember what its like to be
the one who hates you
the one who wants to see you bleed

pull the wool over, cover my eyes
we are the ones who make you weak
pull the wool over, cover my eyes
i will not let you poison me
no sex, no drugs, no sir, not me
pull the wool over, cover my eyes
priests, politicians, and cops
like to fuck just as much as you and me

you've got a price out on your head
its called freedom
you're fucking dead

What's that constant ringing in your ears?
Could it be the guilt from all the cheers?
Come on big boy!
You're a star!
Did you forget
Who you're friends are?
Phony bands,
False leaders.
You let this bullshit come between us.
Get high off an ego
Instead of a drug.
We'll still be here when you're done.

And No I won't back down.
No I won't back down.
No I won't back doooown.

Helping you is like a slap in the face.
Milk it, milk it, milk it
With no haste.
Without your greed
Selfish desire.
We'll still be here
Take it higher.
I've got this fucking wire tapped.
I'm onto you with this hard life act.
I know the ropes
I know where it's at.
See the beauty
That you can't.

And No I won't back down.
No I won't back down.
No I won't back down.
To the bullshit
No one believes you anymoooore.
Mooooore.
Anymore.

Keep on
keep on
keepin on.
Don't let 'em get you down.
Keep on
Keep on
Keepin on.
Keep oooooon.

No I won't back down.
No I won't back down.
No I won't back down.
Anymore!

Break them
Fight
Hate them
Fight

You cannot take away the pride
You cannot take away our minds
We have the freedom to fight
The freedom to push
The free will to decide
We hold our fate in our own hands
You drop the dime, cut off your hands

[chorus]
Let's make a list of all the things that I hate
I'll start with you, string you up and celebrate
Hang you up for all the world to see
Every time you fuck with them is every time you fuck with me
Your satisfaction is ridicule, a gut reaction
Our independence from your world is our vengeance

How can we ever turn the tide
If we don't stand tall all as one
How will we ever reach the sky
If our dreams go on unsung
You mess with just one, you mess with us all
Keep pushing us down, we'll never fall

[chorus]

Everybody's got to fight (I will defy)
Time will unite (I will defy)
Everybody's got to fight (I will defy)

Everybody's got to fight (I will defy)
Time to unite (I will defy)
Everybody's got to fight (I will defy)

Will the sun come in?
Will it shine on my face?
Will it burn so bright
And take away all this pain?
Will you lead the way
Take me to the revolt?
Help me find the things
Things I can't seem to hold.

Where's the silver lining
On my cloud?
What the fuck is this shit
That keeps coming around?
I cannot give respect
Nor can I comprehend
When all of this pain
And hurt never ends.

Where's my guiding light?
I escape through my pen.
I still follow these tracks
They just never end.
I've just got to get out
But I'm too scared to jump.
Take one leap of faith
Or this fight never ends.
This fight never ends.
This fight never ends.
This fight never ends.

Can I derail desperation train? (Desperation train)
Can I derail desperation? (Desperation)
Can I derail desperation train? (Desperation train)
Can I derail desperation? (Desperation)
Can I derail desperation train? (Desperation train)
Can I derail desperation? (Desperation)
Can you take me away from this place?
Give me a weapon to fight this pain.
Can I derail desperation train?
Can I derail desperation?

I will take the sun
Hold it in my hands.
If we both believe
Then the pain just can't win.
So don't let go.
Come on hold me tight.
We'll face our sorrow
Face it with a fight!

I will derail desperation train (desperation train)
I will derail desperation (desperation)
I will derail desperation train (desperation train)
I will derail!

In this great catastrophe, the evils of our world collide
You're forced to stand alone and survive
You against the world as they conquer and divide
A passive nod or a smile as they casually walk by
A spit and gesture of disgust as they turn the other way

(chorus)
American teenage bullshit
At one point it's got to stop
But it's how I feel today
Every time I see a cop
Every time someone gets pushed around
Sometimes I want to pop
When I see you on the dance floor
I'd like to pluck you from the crop

A spit and a gesture of disgust
As they turn the other way
A small part of me hopes they turn around
And another wants to ignore
Sometimes out of pure hatred
Another to kill the bore
In this great catastrophe, the evils of our world collide
The evils of our world collide

(chorus x2)

Go home
Please go home
Go
Go

(chorus)

My life
This time
I'm gonna choose to fight.
My life
This time
I'm gonna choose to fight.

Yeah!
Routine
Killing me!
I'm chained to a desk
Down on my knees.
9 to 5
ritual of death.
Sucking life right out of me.
Rolled up in a flag.
Will somebody please burn meeeeee?

This time
I'm gonna choose to fight.
My life
This time
I'm gonna choose to fight.
There's got to be much more than this
And if you see this raise your fist and fight!

Killing myself slowly
For this my life I give.
I'll die for my country
Fill my mouth up
With your piss!
All hopes and aspirations
Keep on falling out of life.
Happiness in America
Equals dollar signs
Tell me why?

No!
I never wanted any of this.
I reject your lifelessness.
I want to live
I want to fly.
I won't let my dreams just die.

I'm gonna choose to fight.
My life
This time
I'm gonna choose to fight.
There's got to be much more than this
And if you see this raise your fist and
FIGHT!

Go!

We're on a mission
The way to a better life.
We've got conviction.
The strength to stand up with pride.
Don't need no reason
Not scared to fall down and try.
We keep on pushing
The way to a better life.

What's the purpose?
Yeah what's the reason?
Your stupid questions
Yeah I don't need 'em.
Whatchu got to fall back on, son?
Don't need no reason why.
Whatcha gonna do when you're old?
I'll fight until I die.

If you don't run straight into the sun
You'll never see the light.
If you don't open up your mind
In darkness you will die.

I can't forget it
The purpose in my life.
I got a mission.
Don't need to show you why.
You're in your own hell.
The lifeless kind.
Too scared to take a chance
You run and hide.

What's the purpose?
Yeah what's the reason?
Your stupid questions
No I don't need 'em

We're on a mission
The way to a better life.
We've got conviction.
The strength to stand up with pride.

Yeah what's the purpose?
Yeah what's the reason?
Your stupid questions
No I don't need 'em

Whatchu got to fall back on, son?
Don't need no reason why.
Whatcha gonna do when you're old?
I'll fight until I die.

If you don't run straight into the sun
You'll never see the light.
If you don't open up your mind
In darkness you will die.

Your� world� despise� my� life!
Your� world� it� taints� your� eyes!
Your� world� destroys� your� mind!
Your� world� can't� stop� our� kind!
