Lyrics:

DINOSAUR (Bradford)

United We Bargain
Divided We Beg
With so little understanding of the world outside our heads
Maybe we're better off dead?
Wherever you're standing
Whatever you've heard
To think we'll always swim and always win
never lose and never sink,
That's so absurd!
Cause
When you do what you do it's not just hurting you
What you say what you feel
It's a dream it's not real
and it's not the truth
So remember the Dinosaur
the unknowing fool
Do you know what evolution has in store for you?
Do you think we are exceptions to the only rule?
I say "Please, History"
I say "Oh, I see me"
and I'm a memory
Whatever you're doing
Whatever you've done
It won't amount to much unless
You know life is not a test
It happens once
Wherever you're going
Wherever you've been
Unhappiness is knowing that
When you walk this road again,
Your footprints said
When you do what you do it's not just hurting you
What you say what you feel
It's a dream it's not real
and it's not the truth
So remember the Dinosaur
the unknowing fool
Do you know what evolution has in store for you?
Do you think we are exceptions to the only rule?
I say "Please, History"
I say "Oh, I see me"
and I'm a memory
Time is not ours to have
Maybe just to borrow?
When you do what you do it's not just hurting you
What you say what you feel
It's a dream it's not real
and it's not the truth
And the thoughts that you think,
they might just not be yours
So remember the Dinosaur
the unknowing fool
Do you know what evolution has in store for you?
Do you think we are exceptions to the only rule?
I say "Please, History"
I say "Oh, I see me"
and I'm a memory

BUTCHERS (Bradford)

Here come the butchers to cut you into profit.
Innocent people turned into military targets.
Wage slaves, each of us and everyone
except for politicians and robber barons.
We're all being sold but never told whose buying
so my mind pulls the trigger at the thieves who keep lying.
Who patrols the thieves at the controls, gone missing?
Who tells the man when to shut up and listen?
Seems like we all must have forgot the mission.
Here's a solution, let Caesar meet Brutus.
Here come the assassins to put you on the market.
Ignorant people can't do anything to stop it.
Government property bombs they be dropping it.
Soccer moms they be double fist shopping it.
We're all being told but never told why they're telling it,
selling off the world while they make a damn mess of it.
Who feels the need to bring the thieves to their knees?
Who can we turn to while the whole world bleeds?
What do we seek to change our destiny?
Who can I be if I cant be me?
So when we're not looking the kids get polluted.
Don't ask why, the candy tastes good
The kids taste the poison, the lies become rooted.
Don't ask why, it still tastes good.
So watch out for the infidels, the bomb throwers?
No.
Watch out for the money pushers, here come the butchers.

NO ONE SEES (Bradford)

It costs too much to keep the ball rolling
It costs too much to still play the game
Cause we're just like nazis, taking orders
When asked, we just say "That's the way it is!"
It's so easy today to finally decide,
"I'll buy myself out of this confusion ocean"
But everyone can talk the talk
Everyone can fake a smile
But anyone who walks the walk pays by the mile
So I'm left thinking, when will we pay for the sun?
A million dry mouths for one drinking fool
Just too damn busy to notice the world
Cause it costs too much just to stay alive
In debt to ourselves and everybody else
Everyone can't live this way
Everyone's a walking ghost
Everyone's responsible
Especially those who have the most
Do you hear the sound, the world is breaking down
Who will be the one to carry us away?
I can hear the sound, the walls are coming down.
No one sees anything
(I'm so blind)

DOG DAYS I (Bradford)

Eat, sleep, breathe, eat, sleep, work till you drop.
How are we supposed to get by when we're living a lie?
How are we supposed to feel fine when we live on borrowed time?
How's it all supposed to feel when nothing is real?
How's it all supposed to seem when we're living a dream?

EVERYTHING GOES AWAY (Bradford)

Everything goes away
Everyone fades away
I'm afraid to stay this way
I'm afraid to feel the same
Who's to say who's to blame
Who's not afraid to never say
Who makes you fall everyday
Another voice fades away
I'm afraid to feel the shame
I'm ashamed to say my name.
I'm to say that I'm to blame
Don't wanna feel any pain
Don't wanna fight the world today
Don't wanna feel any pain
Don't wanna feel the world today
Don't wanna wake up today
It was never supposed to last long
It was never supposed be now
It was never meant to last long
We were never supposed to be right or wrong
It was never meant to last long.

SLEEPING SOUL (Bradford)

What can we do for you?
Light up a sleeping soul?
Make you feel like you felt the day that you were born
Who can we try and save?
About everyone you know
Maybe leave behind the ones who want to be in control
They can stay and try and save the things they bought and stole
Who will be the one
To sell the setting sun?
Leave us in the dark, waiting for the end to come
Who's gonna break the rules
And free our dirty minds
And steal back the sun before we're out of time?
I won't be the one to say it ain't a crime.
Who's gonna realize
Were running out of time?
Won't get anywhere if you're still stuck in line
How long will it be
Before you're finally free?
Spend your life with your eyes closed, and you'll never see
Never see your friends or your enemies
Who's gonna be the one
to stop the rising sun?
Leave the whole world kneeling down on broken knees
Everyone's diseased
Everyone's in need
That's how it is in the home of the slaves and the land of the greed
Stop and take your photograph while you smile and bleed
What can we try and say
Before they blow our heads away?
Make you a memory before you get your way
Make sure all your dreams never see the light of day
What can we do for you?
Light up a sleeping soul?
Make you feel like you felt the day that you were born

MAN WILL WIN (Bradford)

Man will win the battle of
Man vs. nature, man vs. love
By the way, who needs that sort of stuff?
When you've got every friggin' channel of telefiction
Man will win the battle of
Man vs. intelligence, man vs. common sense
By the way, who needs those sort of things?
When you've got monthly magazines, help make the dream
Feel real
Man will win the battle of
Man vs. humanity, man vs. honesty
By the way, who needs that sort of thing?
When you've got good consumer vision, the new religion
Our prison
Man will win the battle of
Man vs. anything, man vs. anyone
But who needs anyone?
When you could have anything
How many times can the cashier ring before the fat lady sings?
Man will win the battle of
Man vs. everything, man vs. everyone
Man will win the battle of
Man vs. man, then what?

SUFFERERS (Bradford)

It can't be wrong
The feeling that you shouldn't have to
Answer to anyone
Cause I can't even
Accept this life, not after what I saw
Something's always wrong
Someone is always gone
Never near enough to feel enough
To fear enough to know
Sufferers appreciate the life they never live.
It gets so hard to forget and forgive
Who sold our souls to thieves
Before we've ever lived?
Then show their smiling faces
Asking more from us
Always taking more from us
Sufferers appreciate the life they have to give
Even when the vampire kings retire
There is no sanctuary.
It can't be wrong
The feeling that you always lose
But never choose
Cause I won't ever accept these wars
Not after what I've seen
Who is the real enemy?
Who is at the controls?
Flying secretly
Lying discreetly
Their gain is our misery
Sufferers appreciate the life they want to live
Even when there is no more to give.
Life is never how you want it
Memories will remain haunted
History must show its face again!
Time is never when you need it
Who is to say I must believe it
Who is to say this life is ours to give,
Let alone give up on
It can't be wrong
The feeling that no one
Is everyone.

ROOT OF LOOT (Bradford)

Shake, shimmy, hear John Q sing, "Gimme, gimme"
Never left a penny for a skivvie
Prick, trip, don't think
There's a little hit of hope by the kitchen sink
Let it go, make it drop
Have a very nice day
With a cherry on top
Never speak, never ask
What have you done for me lately?
Where were you when I was stranded?
What have you done for me lately?
Where were you when I died this time?
Didn't know, if I died once, I'd need it everyday
So you don't say
Never look, never see, the fools at school are your enemy
But never shout
Never bark
Never try and bite the hand that feeds
It might just be the same hand that makes you bleed
Makes sure you never feel free
So look away, walk away
Keep your eyes on the prize
If at first you don't succeed, there's a million more tries
A million more lies
So what do you say
What do you do
How many feet do you have to step on just so you don't lose
Shake, shimmy, let loose
Look 'em straight in the eye,
And say it real nice,
What have you done for me lately?
Where were you when I was stranded?
What have you done for me lately?
Where were you when I died this time?
Shake, shimmy, hear everybody sing, "Gimme, gimme"
Where the hell went my big fat life?
Down the drain, out the door
Made you forget there was a word named more
Don't stop and think, come inside
Take your coat, have a drink
Everybody's life is in the kitchen sink
Don't ask why, don't ask when
Your whole life ended when you were ten
Close your eyes
Makes you think
The guy sleeping on the corner can't afford a drink
But then you say to yourself
And no one else
If it ain't him, it's me that's right
So say it real nice
What have you done for me lately?
Where were you when I was stranded?
What have you done for me lately?
Where were you when I died this time?

DEAD SOUL FREAK (Bradford)

Don't wanna get cancer
Cancer drugs cost too much
Don't wanna get locked up
How's a brother supposed to get paid?
I feel low I'm a dead end soul
Nickel and dimed, didn't have a chance
I feel slow I'm a dead soul freak
Please don't bite, don't put a price on me
I'm so bored and melancholy
Just gimme a chance, a real fucking chance
I'm just bored and fed up
Don't wanna get brainwashed
Fuck your tv history
Don't wanna get kept out
Spend my life trespassing
I feel low I'm a dead end soul
Nickel and dimed, didn't have a chance
I feel slow I'm a dead soul freak
Please don't bite, don't put a price on me
I'm so bored and melancholy
Just gimme a chance, a real fucking chance
Oh my my
Hear me straight talking
Music rocking
Get together make a move
Send the thieving suits walking
Oh my my
Don't trade love and life like a fool for a lie
Oh my my
Don't need a reason to cross to the other side
Gimme green herb chockin
No pain no crime in the concrete
Get together make a move
Make the thieves start talking
Oh my my
Get together make a move

SEND ME A LINE (Bradford)

You got yours and I got mine but we're running out of time
What good are opinions when no one seems to be listening
Cause you can see on every face
Everyone fell from grace
Everyone is as lost as you, too scared to feel, too tired to do
So we're no longer looking forward to fast food service futures
We're no longer looking forward to robot lives full of robot lies
Cause you got that and I got this
But I think we've got the same wish
What good is an answer when you don't even know what the question is?
What you should feel, what you should do
Is entirely up to you
You weren't there to make a decision about your own existence
So nobody as the right to sell you--you can just refuse
Nobody has the right to tell you--you got a right to choose
So send me a line, I'll give it a try
I'll come on up for air
Can we come to an agreement here
With so little time its time to begin a final compromise
Then we might find truth behind the lies
So I know yours and you know mine
But what we don't know is a filthy crime
How can we form an opinion when the most important history is missing?
What we've been taught and what we've been told
Are the wicked poisoned lies of old
We don't have a say in decisions that keep this world in division
So we no longer listen to these fast-talking politricktians
We won't be controlled by empty contradictions
Murdering convictions!
Cause you that and I got this
But we both feed from the same dish
Diggers and fools might say-"If we all knew that then we'd find a way!"
The sun goes up the sun goes down
As sure as a hand on a drum makes sound
But when we strive for perfection
"I" fights with "I"--we lose the connection
Nobody has the right to make you--you can just refuse
Nobody has the right to take you--you got a right to choose
So send me a line, I'll give it a try
I'll come on up for air
Can we come to an agreement here
Open your eyes, I'll open mine
Can we agree on what we see?
As long as one soul is imprisoned, no one's free
They keep saying the same things
as if that makes us feel alright
They keep doing the same things
as if that makes us feel alright
They keep pulling the same tricks
just to make us lose our minds
They keep pulling the same shit
It won't make everything just fine

WAY THE WORLD WILL FALL (Bradford)

So you want to know the way the world will fall
When all your questions still remain, and you think you've seen it all.
So you want to know the way the world will fall.
Some people got no chance at all and we wouldn't even know, but we....
Some people got no chance at all and they're building a bridge to nowhere and beyond.
So you think that if you knew the meaning of life you wouldn't lose.
You yourself must have a purpose, cause life you didn't choose.
But what if life has no meaning at all and we're just floating on a ball?
Would you still live at all?
Some people got no chance at all and we wouldn't even know, but we....
Some people got no chance at all and they're building a bridge to nowhere and beyond.
But I don't want to go anywhere at all
And I don't want to be a soldier or a star
I don't want to do a goddamn thing if its the last thing I ever do
But if you need some help my friend, well I guess I'm helping you.
So you want to know the way the world will fall
when all your questions still remain and you think you've seen it all.

NOTHING LEFT TO PAWN (Bradford)

There is nothing left to pawn
There is nothing left to do
There is nothing left to feel except my love for you
There is no more time to cry, enough to maybe try
It might be uncomfortable--I hoped you wouldn't mind
There is nothing left to feel that isn't just to real
There is nothing left that hurts as much as losing what you steal
There is no more hope to have
It was never really ours
I've never felt my life go by in minutes or in hours
There is no more trust to know
There is nowhere left to go
There is no apparent reason except for maybe treason
There is no one left to save
There are no more to games to play
There is only debt to have and only time to pay
There are no more adventures for pirates of the sea
They were all strung and hung by shits with ivy league degrees
There is nothing left to pawn
There is nothing left to do
But try and make a world that's livable for you
There is no more time to cry
If you continue to deny
You are a slave to the grind, a servant of time
There are no more rules to follow if you know what's good for you
It's time to take control again and free our imprisoned friends
There is nowhere left to run to hide
From guns and fear and fatal lies
There is always disappointment, not a genuine surprise
There is nothing left to drink from an empty wishing well
There are no more lies to tell
Because we're already in hell
