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

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

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

Next to Rot

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!

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”

Smooth Brains
02:02
|
|

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

Scorched

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

Owl and The Rat
01:31
|
|

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!

You Ain't Shit
01:41
|
|
||
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

The True Alternative
01:56

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

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?!
