The Fight 01:52
Maybe I’m bitter Yeah, maybe I’m mean And the worse I become The more my conscious is cleaned Cuz in a world where nothing is right The only thing someone like me has is the fight What have I become, carrying this hate? Don’t fucking look at me man Frustrate — Pure Rage He said that he loved me, I gave him my hand I didn’t mean to destroy him but love I just can’t understand Frustrate — Pure Rage Nothing’s right so I fight Blinded got no sight What’s going down is my life Scorpion Can’t stop stinging, I’m stinging myself All I am is the fight Can’t stop swinging, I swing on myself All I have is the fight The fight

Fuck your bullshit working class Go to the mall with your middle-income ass Rich kids, rich kids, blow out your brains Tired of pretending that we’re all the same Product of Pain You glamorize the struggle and diminish the poor Your mockery and mimicry disgust me to my core When you’re acting bad, you think you act like us Pushing your agenda when we’re the ones discussed You don’t know suffering If you think that pain is all it brings Product of Pain Possibility, resilience, empathy Grown deep in poverty I wouldn’t change a thing But you are nothing like me Product of Pain I wouldn’t change my past But I’m an outcast among outcasts From scarcity comes a complexity which goes unseen You’re just a faded copy of this real thing
3.
No Respect 02:26
You’re a reflection Removed, removed, removed again You disgust me, you and all your empty friends Apparitions who need my eyes to feel that they’re alive Reduced to a shadow of those who could have been No Respect You’re egocentric, it’s ironic, there’s so little of you there You disgust me, you give nothing An infection without depth, another modern narcissist Like a surface wound you rot, self-obsessed No Respect Everything you heard about me is true I’m sitting back and I’m judging you I want a fucking revolution, class war I see a nazi and know what these fists are for Reading zines, reading books, I’ve got to grow But if it’s not about you, you don’t want to know No Respect You only care about me, me, me, me You only care about being seen You wanna know what you get for that? No Respect I want to fight every thing, thing, thing, thing This world is a pit because of indifference And you don’t give a shit No respect
4.
World Depise 01:57
Cowards tell, and worse, believe their lies To justify a worthless life In a world I despise No fucking idea why you care when what you care about is shit No fucking idea why throw yourself into their abyss Fuck your explanation “that’s just the way it is” Fuck your lack of imagination, no guts, no brains, just piss Those with no integrity at all Make their lives so fucking small No guts No brains Cowards Outcast by choice in a world I despise A failure in your eyes, you’re a failure in mine Masterpiece of ignorance — World I despise Masterpiece of ignorance — World I despise
5.
Next to Rot 01:27
Next to rot Never thought I’d live this long And some of us did not We’re gonna be forgotten and that’s ok Cuz we don’t live for anyone but ourselves anyway Never thought I’d live this long But here we are, the next to rot I’m gonna read poetry under a tree Gonna fuck my brains out until I can’t see Contemplate life, pick lot of fights You ride your board, I’ll ride my bike Gonna go real deep in Marxist philosophy Seize the means of life production, do you know what I mean? We’re gonna be forgotten and that’s ok Cuz we don’t live for anyone but ourselves anyway True freaks, we creep in Philadelphia Pound these streets Sleep is for the weak We live until we rot Next to rot!

Ego Reaper 00:26
I’m here to reap Cut you down Everyone is cheap Cut you down I’m here to fucking reap Cut you down Everyone is cheap Bring down the scythe Collection time! Ego Reaper clad in black sneers, “It’s time to join the other trash”
7.
Can’t grow up, I’m fucking grown I won’t do what I’m told Normal life, it ain’t for me Give me anarchy Can’t grow up, I’m fucking grown My drives are my own Normal life, it ain’t for me Intolerant This smooth brain’s running their mouth And this smooth brain’s luck has just run out Glorify themselves at the expense of someone else And you would just smile and excuse yourself I’m screaming, I’m swinging You stand for nothing, don’t you see it? You think I’m wild, I think you’re sad So caught up in the acceptable that: You care only when it’s convenient You’re the type who’d write a letter to a racist You keep your distance and always judge Those of us who get shit done You say we need to grow up when we’re fucking grown Cuz we got these motherfuckers by the throat Who do think is more convincing? The one who’s mincing or the one who’s crushing? Intolerant
8.
Scorched 01:10
Used to think you had untapped possibility You don’t Humanity is no longer a concern to me Remove us from this earth — Anti-Society Remove us from this earth — Let there be no memory Spent my life trying to build a bridge Gave all my effort trying to convince Us to be more than the least that we can be But what the fuck I care how you live or what think of me Anti-Society
9.
He thinks he’s so enlightened He lets everyone know His politics are a fucking show Oh, he’s the lowest of the low Talk your shit about us kids who’ve had rough lives Think we’re Neanderthals, but here’s a fun surprise I know you’re in down-low statutory rape crew And you won’t look me in the eye like an equal You get your cock sucked for your fake ass sympathies But you’ll get your ass handed to you by me Keen eyes see, fur and bone becomes debris Owl and the rat He needs an ideology because it’s what he cannot be — Owl and the rat What we call basic decency is his failed philosophy — Owl and the rat Rat!
10.
You ain’t shit You’ll never be shit Self-imposed limitations got your life writ You’re weak, I’m not Don’t think I took your spot Cuz you never tried — You ain’t shit Not naïve, you hide — You’ll never be shit You fight specters and whine Instead of putting in time You’re weak, I’m not You lie and now you’re caught That’s right you entitled motherfucker Your only skill is sitting on your hands while pointing fingers at others The world is not to blame for the self-defeatist I came from nothing, self fucking made You had your life handed to you, yet you wasted it away You ain’t shit I used to think we were all the same—You ain’t shit But now I know I’m better— You ain’t shit My successes are relentless—You ain’t shit Just like your resentment No sympathy for bourgeois apathy You ain’t shit to me You ain’t shit and you’ll never be shit
11.
Their lives are sad to see The degradation of normality Anxiety leaking from their seams Devoted to banality But that’s not me, no that’s not me Young and angry Dropping out of society I never wanted to become anything Where they could see themselves in me We knew that there was more that we could be While they’re dictated by tradition Our lives are fucking acts of sedition Creatures of Hate Free to create The world will shake At what we make This is a violent rejection The becoming of THE TRUE ALTERNATIVE
12.
Looking Down 01:31
You look down on me I don’t want to be like you Here to show who know, where you stand you’re so cool arms crossed like a fool No approval needed, no validation Freak out! Flip shit! No fucks given Outside of this room, the world feels like tomb It’s so rare to be free, can’t imprison us with your bad self esteem This is all we had when we had nothing Violent homes and loneliness Lost to drugs, or wandering Sleeping on the street or crying in the sheets This is all we had when we had nothing You look down on me?!
