Rx Bandits Album

2000, another shattered vision: the human race
our self-destruct button has been pressed
are we acting on morals
a malfunction of minds lacking decisive control
are filled with a tv sense of life
[Chorus]
we can live with no regrets
this ride's not over yet
stand together, if not we fall
stand together, if not we fall
how can we change the paradigm of social caste
when the victims are the same ones who slave for the corporations
this episode's resolving and we can change it
a revolution's calling and i'd like to think that i'm not alone
are we all alone in this

greed, war
we cant afford to prune in this selfish agenda of politicians
but we've gotta get paid i know
just try to do what we can for us
[Chorus]
syntax error, reprogram, reprogram
all systems down, but we can change it
are we all alone in this
are we all alone

now that you're gone
i'm regretting every word i said
on this dark day my veins are burning
trying to keep these thoughts out of my head
so what do you think
do you even blink
when i'm screaming and calling your name
just how i like it -blank and indifferent
are you too ignorant to feel the ashamed
[Chorus]
wake up, wake up, wake up
the world is changing
someone else's sorrow
i can't hear it
someone else's sorrow now
and take back life's remote control

where you going, what's this life for
how do you want to be when you grow old
what you wanna say, what you wanna do
nobody's a victim its only up to you
wise man say you reap what you have sown
only what you have sown
[Chorus]
now that you're gone
well, you're regretting every word you said
i have just one more question now
for anyone that i can not motivate
is it just routine trained behavior
does the tv set control your life
go, create

she lays awake at night
this ain't the way she wants it
it hurts so bad she cries herself to sleep
she can't have the body of a model
she wants it because she reads it in the magazines

[Chorus]
analog boy in a digital world
don't be so digital
analog boy in a digital world
turn off your radio
we're so helpless to our technology
(world keeps spinning)
i don't want to be controlled by machines
(i'll still be waiting)
analog boy in a digital world
turn off your radio

don't be so digital
our parents wonder why kids are growing up so fast
conform, believe anything on tv
find your identity soon
and let the channel change you

[Chorus]

i couldn't believe my eyes when i woke up this morning
i looked at the sidewalk and there was a million people dressed the same
who answered their cell phones at the same time
and all popped a pill for the same disorder
can't be fat, no we can't have that
we're so far gone
don't you see that we're so far gone

[Chorus]

well i'm giving up
gonna do it right this time

No time to get what you wanted,
It's time to get what you need.
No time to get what you wanted,
It's time to get what you need.
There's a girl at the corner store who says that her life is such a bore.
"I need more money and I'll be complete"
Now she's selling her body.
Baby doll well now can't you see that all the best things in life are free?
You don't need to be a millionaire to be happy,
And we're all getting older.
No time to get what you wanted,
It's time to get what you need.
No time to get what you wanted baby,
But it's so hard, it's so hard to see.
I met a man who was already dead,
With a needle in his arm and a gun to his head.
He said "I need more money for just one more hit, Or at least one more bullet."
In this land of hypocrisy, where all of the best things in life are free
You don't need to be a movie star or on T.V.
And we're all getting older.
No time to get what you wanted,
It's time to get what you need.
No time to get what you wanted honey,
But it's so hard, it's so hard to see.
No time to get what you wanted,
It's time to get what you need

friday night everybody's getting happy
i think you lost your style
maybe we'll be here a while
what is said and what is just suggested
i think you already know
just what you wanted to do
and where you'd end up
[Chorus]
its all the time, its all by myself
it's all the time, it's all the time
and far below are all the things we take for granted

i wanna bleed now its all gone, all the time

have you ever had to give up something special
for the scars that you've gained
sometimes you find the truth you go insane
screaming inside cause you want to elude it
there's no wrong or right
go on and live with no regrets
you only have one life
[Chorus]
all the time, all the time, all the time
this box of pictures
regrets and memories
i haven't found out quite yet
what i want, what i want
so have you lost them
they got stuck inside your past
all the time i've fought for and all i've wasted
[Chorus]
all the time, all the time, all the time, all the time, let's go
so far below, so far below, so far below

what do you wanna be
would you fight for your country
leaders say "why don't you pick up a gun and shoot at somebody"
but they're only gonna protect you if that dollar sign is right
there's a war in every nation but we turn our heads tonight
[Chorus]
human rights went on vacation
money took over a long time ago
cry for this racial war
in all rwanda's glory
there ain't no glory in a war ain't no glory

a black man or a white man
or an asian or a mexican
or an african or a south african
or a serbian or a libyan
you're all one race, the human race
just a different smile for a different face
[Chorus]

its time to listen up all good people and take a look around
i know that everything is looking normal
but something is unsound
it seems to me that we are constricted by a force unfair
can't do what we all want to or you'll wind up in jail
[Chorus]
babylon don't make the rules
babylon don't make our rules
they try to play us all for fools
babylon don't make our rules allright, allright

i'm feeling like our voices are unspoken and our needs unmet
freedom is what we all want so freedom is what we will get
so put up all your hands together and squeeze them real tight
if you're paying income tax
then you're helping to build bombs
what do you have to say about that
[Chorus]

ring, ring, ring here comes the morning
waking every day to an analog
quantized walking one foot then the other
your world is boring, now it's time to look around

some were lost, some were found
inspiration's hit the ground now
life career, end is near, nine to five corpse working
no way out of this drought, no way
who would've thought it, would've thought, would've thought it
who ever thought life would be this way
life is hard but it's always getting better
so don't cry for today baby, no worries

so right now, let's turn on the radio
and listen to the sound, of fake processed and it's fully unoriginal
music is choking and it's time to look around

some were lost, some were found
inspiration's hit the ground now
life career, end is near, nine to five corpse working
no way out of this drought, no way
who would've thought it, would've thought, would've thought it
who ever thought life would be this way
life is hard but it's always getting better
so don't cry for today baby, no worries

pleading protest, i grab my heart and scream out loud, yeah
come on! come on! come on!

no way out of this drought, no way
who would've thought it, would've thought, would've thought it
who ever thought life would be this way
life is hard but it's always getting better
so don't cry for today baby, no worries

well, i don't care how she treats me anymore now
cause every time i try to argue
she walks right out that door
but its just not how you look
but its just its how you feel inside
it don't matter if you got any money or not
just hold your head up high
[Chorus]
i tell you once what i'm really coming out to do
i'm gonna burn this system to the ground for you
radio and tv shows try to make you play the roles
don't let them take you for a ride
one more day, to leave it all behind
to go where you have never even tried
don't you let your inhibitions guide your way

baby won't you look at me
but you ain't got the time of day
cause i ain't got no money
but what is money if you ain't got happiness
it really don't make sense to me
i ain't got no status or a fuckin diamond rock
but i still got the voice to sing
[Chorus]
so what
well i ain't got no status
well i ain't got no status
well i ain't got no status
i've just got a mind of my own
what do you want with status
we ain't got no status
we've just got a mind of our own
do you have a mind of your own
one more day, to leave it all behind
to go where you have never even tried
don't you let your inhibitions guide your way

i know i was wrong
so please just take this offering, its all of me
black spins circles around my conscience
this stale responsibility is killing me
[Chorus]
hey, i never wanted to hurt anyone but you did
what did you say
its days like these i think i'll never go back out there
its easier to be alone like this

impossible, inflatable too
so why don't you contribute to
the effortless falling then i'm down about
it's killing me
[Chorus]
and if you stay, then i'm still lost
in some ways this world has more to say to you
come out of the rain
and if it won't stop then i'm going home
consider me forgot
[Chorus]

i woke up this morning looked out my window
guess just what i saw
a little black mushroom cloud forming
but it's ok, i guess we're never gonna get along
are we ever, are we ever, are we ever
[Chorus]
and you know there's no time left for us
no time for love no time for lust
no fussing, no fighting, no crying tonight
and you know there's no time left for us
no time for love, no time for lust
no fussing, no fighting, no crying tonight

one, two give it to me
watching the bombs as they impact on your street
i said it's over and out again
it's three years until i'm twenty- four
and i don't wanna die in a nuclear war
i said we build the weapons while our children starve
when are we gonna recognize
[Chorus]
you know there's no time left for us
ashes to ashes, dust to dust
no fussing, no fighting, no crying tonight

now you're thinking i'm so stupid, that's allright
you don't know just what you're saying and in due time
what i'm going through, well i don't care and you won't prosper
what i say to you goes in one ear and out the other
now i'm taking three steps forward and two steps back
i've temporarily lost my focus and gone i've off track
what i'm going through, well i don't care and you won't prosper
what i say to you goes in one ear and out the other
[Chorus]
please someone, come quickly, i've gotten stuck inside my head
please help me out while i still can
i've gotten stuck inside this little place and no one's helping
nowhere to go, already ran

givin' it one more shot
oh ya gotta let me try to get my life on track, on track
its five in the morning in the studio high up in the stereo
i'm loosing my mind
sayin' i give it up because i'm feeling out of place
don't wanna hear it, feel it now what i'm saying
[Chorus]
move forward, move forward, move forward now
move forward, move forward, move forward now
no fussing, no fighting, no crying tonight

in our world's degradation we take for granted
all we have and all that we were given
when was the last time that you looked up
gazed upon a shopping mall and said "how beautiful"
[Chorus]
so one more time you hear my voice
we are the youth
you have the choice so use it wisely

they pave the world in concrete
soon nothing will be natural but only artificial
artificial and commercial, a superficial front
for what is wrong: human parasite
[Chorus]

where could we have ever gone so wrong
nothing's sacred, nothing's sacred
we're burning lands on consumer demands
there is nothing sacred, nothing's sacred
[Chorus]
let's bring it down by fire
please don't give up
where could we have ever gone so wrong
nothing's sacred, nothing's sacred
we're burning lands on consumer demands
there is nothing sacred, nothing's sacred
so go inside, go inside, go inside

this is the first time that i've ever told the truth before
to scrutinize what we call fate
belief in more of what's been forced into subconscious's
hold my breath, hope to refrain
[Chorus]
is love an infection or a sick addiction
when there's nowhere left to run to
is love an infection or a sick addiction
when there's nowhere left, this crush is broken
[Chorus]
her empty needle is my unsharpened sword
i stab, i stab, i stab, but i can't puncture
don't wanna let it, don't wanna feel it
don't wanna hear it, don't even wanna think about it
hold my breath , hope to refrain
[Chorus]
and if i can't afford her my veins begin to ache
i don't wanna feel this pain no more
have you ever felt so high that when you came down
you broke inside
i know she won't take the blame
[Chorus]
you love me, you rip my heart out
you've broken me for to long now
