Well am I making haste or could it be haste is making me What's time but a thing to kill or keep or buy or lose or live in I gotta go faster Keep up the pace Just to stay in the human race I could go supersonic the problem's chronic Tell me does life exist beyond it When I need to sate I just accelerate Into oblivion Into oblivi yah yah yah yah yah yah yan Now here I go again everything is alien How does it feel to be outstripped by the pace of cultural change My deeds are senseless and rendered meaningless When measured in that vein I could go supersonic the problem's chronic Tell me does life exist beyond it When I need to sate I just accelerate into oblivion Into oblivion I won't lie it's exciting When I try to decide things I just want to live decently meaningfully I'm in misery I could I go supersonic the problem's chronic Tell me does life exist beyond it When I need to sate I just accelerate into oblivion Into oblivi yah yah yah yah yah yah yan

Hit the road in wander mode inquire along the way Savoir faire in full despair while living day to day My heart is not a cold cauldron of proof I don't ever need to prove myself to you No! Looking back I'm off the tracks more times than I recognize Mistakes are another opportunity to refine My heart is not a cold cauldron of proof I don't ever need to prove myself to you There's no such thing as hell But you can make it if you try There might come a day When emotion can be quantified But as of now there's no proof necessary no proof necessary no proof necessary no proof necessary it's only in your mind

I'm incurable but durable it's easy to see Lack of restraint is a complaint of those around me I know that others postpone Gratification well I lack that affectation Let's get it right there's no end in sight And I Can't stop Can't stop Can't stop it Can't stop Can't stop Can't stop shocking but I just can't stop it That's right Uncontrollable I'm inconsolable My pleasure center is the shelter for a reptile I hate when I gotta tolerate Frustration see I lack the motivation Let's set this straight I never wait And I Can't stop Can't stop Can't stop it Can't stop Can't stop Can't stop shocking but I just can't stop it That's right

She said Thanks but I'm broken I guess You must have misspoken What a laugh I've never been chosen by anyone She was barely a teen Hanging out in between Just a part of the scene With mercurial smile And incurable style She was only a dream How's that He didn't know a thing about Making love to the kind of girl you read about He said I'm bound to be broken My Daddy bet That I'd amount to nothing He won't let anybody show him anything He was a troubled child Had been down for a while Always kept to himself No she couldn't defend He only wanted a friend Now he's made something else It's so sad no one saw it coming The paper said that he hit the ground running Oh yeah I know I'm not broken A little cracked But still I'm not broken I wanna laugh but I think that I'm choking on reality When the World is turning for you Don't turn on me Who are you here to repair Well I don't know what you mean You could never resist Glorifying despair Well now it's coming to you and I don't really care Well I'm not The kind to insist You couldn't have missed We must co exist So please listen to me There is no such thing as human debris Oh yeah I know I'm not broken A little cracked But dad I'm not so nothing I wanna laugh I'm not joking I'm unbroken Oh yeah I said I'm unbroken I said I'm unbroken A little cracked it's just a token I'm really not broken What a guess I'm unbroken

Who do you believe can put some meaning in your life meaning in your life meaning in your life Who do you conceive to provide you guidance and light guidance and light guidance and light Are they waiting for you in the by and by Do you even have to try Headed for eternity and destined for nothing The future isn't difficult to see It's easy to confuse grand design with life's repercussions Lament not your vanquished fantasy It's only destiny Why do you consent to live in ignorance and fear ignorance and fear ignorance and fear Ancient people succumbed to it can it happen here can it happen here can it happen here Does it make you suffer cuz you have to die Is it best to live a lie Headed for eternity and destined for nothing The future isn't difficult to see It's easy to confuse grand design with life's repercussions Lament not your vanquished fantasy It's only destiny Why can't you see there ain't no destiny for you and me there ain't no destiny Why can't you see there ain't no destiny for you and me there ain't no destiny Headed for eternity and destined for nothing The future isn't difficult to see It's easy to confuse grand design with life's repercussions Lament not your vanquished fantasy It's only destiny

You're obsesssed and distressed Cause you can't make any sense of the ludicrous nonsense and incipient senescence that will deem your common sense useless this aint no recess! I want to believe in you, but my plan keeps falling through I knoe I have to face the harshnes, grin and bear the truth And I have to walk this mile in my own shoes (and I'm no fool!) [Chorus] I'm materialist a full-blown realist (physical theorist) and I guess I'm full of doubt so I'm prone to hear you out and refuse I'm materialist There ain't no fear in this it's for all to see, so don't talk of hidden mysteries with me... Mind over matter, it really don't matter If the street's idle chatter turns your heart strings to tatters Flatter hopes don't flatter and soul batter won't congeal to mend a life that is shattered into shards Was it in the cards? The process of belief is an elixir when you're weak I must confess, at times I indulge it on the sneak but generally my outlook's not so bleak (and I'm not meek!) [Chorus] I'm materialist a full-blown realist (physical theorist) and I guess I'm full of doubt, but I'll gladly have it out with you I'm materialist I ain't no deist it's there for all to see, so don't of hidden mysteries with me Like Rome under Nero, our future's one big zero Recycling the past to meet the immediate needs And through it all we ramble forth with perservere and climb Our mountains of regret to sow our seeds I'm materialist I'm materiliast I'm materialist I'm materialist (hold)

It's a matter of prescience No, not the science fiction kind It's all about ignorance, and greed, and miracles for the blind the media parading, disjointed politics founded on petrochemical plunder and we're its hostages If you stand to reason you're in the game the rules might be elusive but our pieces are the same and you know if one goes down we all go down as well the balance is precarious as anyone can tell this world's going to hell Don't allow this mythologic hopeful monster to exact its price Kyoto now! We can't do nothing and I think someone else will make it right You might not think it matters now But what if you are wrong You might not think there's any wisdom in a fucked up punk rock song But the way it is cannot persist for long a brutal sun is rising on a sick horizon It's in the way we live our lives exactly like the double-edge of a cold familiar knife and supremacy weighs heavy on the day it's never really what you own but what you threw away and how much did you pay? In your dreams You saw a steady state a bounty for eternity Silent screams but now the wisdom that sustains us is in full retreat Don't allow this mythologic hopeful monster isn't worth the risk Kyoto now! We can't have vision for the future if it can't be fixed Alien We need a fresh and new religion to run our lives Hand in hand the arid torpor of inaction will be our demise Oh, Kyoto now!

Father can you hear me? How have I let you down? I curse the day that I was born and all the sorrow in this world Let me take you to the herding ground where all good men are trampled down Just to settle a bet that could not be won between a prideful father and his son Will you guide me now for I can't see a reason for the suffering and this long misery What if every living soul could be upright and strong? Well then I do imagine There will be (sorrow) Yeah there will be (sorrow) And there will be sorrow no more When all soldiers lay their weapons down or when all kings and all queens relinquish their crowns Or when the only true messiah rescues us from ourselves it's easy to imagine There will be (sorrow) Yeah there will be (sorrow) And there will be sorrow no more There will be (sorrow) Yeah there will be (sorrow) And there will be sorrow no more Yeah there will be (sorrow) Yeah there will be (sorrow) And there will be sorrow no more

A new age of reason Brain treason to trick the mind What good is searching if nothing's there to find We arrive at this place of no return my brothers Only to discover that our minds have led us away so far from the painful truth of who we are What's right is wrong what's come has gone what's clear and pure is not so sure It came to me All promises become a lie all that's benign corrupts in time The fallacy of Epiphany Come forth bear witness see the profit from your loss Beg for forgiveness only after you tally the cost We arrive at this place of no return my sisters Only to discover that our values ran us aground on the shoal in the sea of what we could be What's right is wrong what's come has gone what's clear and pure is not so sure It came to me All promises become a lie all that's benign corrupts in time The fallacy of Epiphany If it's real for me do I have to prove it to you Why do revelations fade to cold blue untruths It's oh so relative Subservient in total to one's perspective What's right is wrong what's come has gone what's clear and pure is not so sure It came to me All promises become a lie all that's benign corrupts in time The fallacy of Epiphany

She came from Heaven well there's no point belaboring that I've seen some trouble and I must admit that I'm in demand I confront rejection with magnetic good intentions yet hey Jack Get back in fact Don't do that I act sharp but feel uncertain cuz next time It could be curtains Evangeline Conspirator so fine lend me your faith cuz mine is broken Compared to mine what is your crime Evangeline Now just to be certain let's be sure to set the record straight I could use an angel but I don't intend to split up the take Never go for treason but I got reasons that don't warrant debate My acts intact and in fact you're not all that You act sure but youre uncertain cuz next time It could be curtains Evangeline Conspirator so fine lend me your faith cuz mine is broken Compared to mine what is your crime Evangeline Well there's no use turning back no use turning back It's already much too late When the house is burning Evangeline Conspirator so fine lend me your faith cuz mine is broken Compared to mine what is your crime Evangeline

Nothing comes easier than madness in the world today Mass paranoia is a mode not a melody Yeah I'd like to watch all thousand cable channels but there's nothing on And my high speed connection's monitored daily by the pentagon These things are seldom what they seem I'm not inclined to enjoy my dreams won't go away No Peace and No Friends We Trace the mortal edge with no defense To State the obvious This world is perilous for us No sense and No Guide ain't it beautiful to be alive Yeah right I won't resign before the struggle ends So I'll construct this sound defense We are the prey and culture is the predator I'm running out of time where conditions are positionnal Shadows of a doubt cast reluctance and depravity There's got to be a way to overcome this grim reality Is there an option left for me I'm not immune to despondency There's no way No Peace and No Friends We Trace the mortal edge with no defense To State the obvious This world is perilous for us No sense and No Guide ain't it beautiful to be alive Yeah right I won't resign before the struggle ends So I'll construct this sound defense There's a signpost on the corner and it keeps everybody safe We were all made in the shade And your mother's in the kitchen where she's patching all the cracks in the wall We never had to care in the world Too much to sacrifice it's hard to recognize Just a compromise of purely deadly alibies It's combinational the pressure so intense So I'll construct this sound defense Nothing's plainer than the madness in the world today I must conceal myself and steal myself and break away I seek initiatives in matters that are black and white So I'll construct this sound defense

How do you know what you can be if you can't see where you are going What breaks the silence Misery Can make you see where you belong It's a dangerous stage but the show must go on Why do you lie Why do you lie Would you betray your soul Why do you lie Why do you lie Don't let your weakness show You just might be the last to know Freedom is such a loaded word So full of hurt and such a plomb Loneliness saunters in its breeze Like a disease it drags along The time of your life can't be had for a song Why do you lie Why do you lie Would you betray your soul Why do you lie Why do you lie Don't let your weakness show You just might be the last to know Why do you lie Why do you lie Would you betray your soul Why do you lie Why do you lie Don't let your weakness show Why do you lie Why do you lie Only the meek follow Why do you lie Why do you lie Trample the fear below You just might be the last to know

Hey you Is there something worth aspiring to And can it be found in a record store Well it's not there anymore Just think of all the things we did We were different Just like all the other kids Missy was a teen blue video star Tom took his life in his mother's car Milo went to college but you knew about that Rodney played our record GG started riots Laurie was always quiet She was battling depression Hey you Is there something worth belonging to And can I pick it up for a song Or a diploma or a worthy cause Well let me tell you that there's nothing wrong It's just that ones like us will never belong Jack wore a skirt but he knew how to scrap Billy went to county on a class one possession Wendy went to school while her daddy shot smack Eugene kept a list Mugger was security Mary she kept her purity We were all in it together Yellowed postcards on the wall Serve to cover up a blankness after all So I will carry them along Like a song when I'm gone yeah Hey you Is there something worth belonging to You know we've been here all along Like a confederacy of the wrong And I confess it could be prejudice But to you I dedicate this song Yeah to you

With nothing better to do No one to come home to I woefully conclude To take it out on you I'm bored to the extreme This world of foolish dreams Disillusion I am not who I seem to be Yeah sure I might do harm and bear my right to arm Retribution If only someone would listen to me Listen to me Listen to me Listen to me Listen to me A room an empty shelf A book on mental health I look for inner wealth A punish in myself I'm bored to the extreme This world of foolish dreams Disillusion I am not who I seem to be Yeah sure I might do harm And bare my right to arm Retribution If only someone would listen to me Listen to me Listen to me Listen to me Listen to me

The scientist purported that there ain't no purpose and the theologian told me that it's all been designed and I'm trying to maintain objectivity The world won't illuminate what really matters and I'm an imperfect mortal meaning extractor processing the complexity Born of the Earth (Are we blind?) We weren't given a choice (There's no way) What about free will? (What we have) Do we have a voice? (Is shattered faith) See them run in place (Here and now) in the human rat race (No reward) So much dead weight (No debate) to our disgrace (Accept your fate) Life begins when you accept your fate Paralysis from forces raging out of control until my confidence and will are at an all-time low Just directionless wandering Eternal life, eternal truth, eternal secrets Isolated hopes and hypotheses just Leave me feeling so hungry Born of the Earth (Are we blind?) We weren't given a choice (There's no way) What about free will? (What we have) Do we have a voice? (Is shattered faith) See them run in place (Here and now) in the human rat race (No reward) So much dead weight (No debate) to our disgrace (Accept your fate) Life begins when you accept your fate Right or wrong, the main criterion is what you do and not what you say The roads you take, the friends you make and those you throw away The method is a simple synthesis of the past and present state You never lose if the path you choose is one you can easily navigate I had a dream, light and carefree But now there's doubt and gravity But I won't run in place (Are we blind?) in the human rat race (There's no way) I can set the pace (What we have) and accept my fate (Is shattered faith) Shattered faith (Here and now) Shattered faith (No reward) the part of me (No debate) I can't erase (Accept your fate)
