Sinner
04:20
|

They tell me that I must atone
Guilty of the ‘crimes’ now known
They tell me that I must repent
That some of us are innocent
Sinner, sinner
You’re no beginner
Sinner, sinner
Your fathers are killers
Sinner, sinner
You’re no better
Sicker, sicker
Watch you get thinner
A sickness of philosophy
Ressentiment is the air they breathe
Wanting others not to have...
Demands an alterated past
I’ve heard enough, I’ve had enough, no more
Have you heard enough, have you had enough, for sure
You’re on your own, you’re all alone, it seems
But we are here and we’re your family
Sinner, sinner
You’re no beginner
Sinner, sinner
Your fathers are killers
Sinner, sinner
You’re no better
Sicker, sicker
Watch you get thinner
Well, I think that you should know
That it’s all a mind game
Well, I think that you should know
That it’s just a power play
Well, I think that you should know
That they want to destroy our name
Well, I think that you should know
It doesn’t have to be this way

Carry On

I’m sorry I don’t want to be like you
I’m sorry I don’t feel the way you do
I’m sorry I don’t think much like you
I’m sorry I say things that might offend
I’m sorry I do things you can’t understand
I’m sorry I hope you can deal with it man
I’m sorry I don’t want to join in your cause
I’m sorry I don’t feel the West is a loss
I’m sorry I don’t think much of your thoughts
I’m sorry I choose to play rock and roll
I’m sorry I got a life of my own
I’m sorry I hope you find your way home
Carry on, carry on
Carry on, carry on
I’m sorry I choose to play rock and roll
I’m sorry I got a life of my own
I’m sorry I hope you find your way home

Diatribe
03:44
|
|||
Save your breath, I won’t be fooled
All this talk of justice, principles
Try to disguise self-interest
As ‘what is right’
Is it hard to comprehend
That your ‘truths’ they serve your narrow ends?
What’s in it for me?
My people — our legacy?
Well, I refuse to fall in line
That’s why I wrote this diatribe
So you know
Right where I stand
You and I are not the same
Please stop pretending
The time is now — to draw a line
A line in the sand
We’ll be alright
We’ll be alright
We’ll be alright
We’ll be alright
In-groups, out-groups — nothing’s changed
Therein lies your hypocrisy
Sacred, profane
A new system that denigrates
Well, I refuse to fall in line
That’s why I wrote this diatribe
So you know
Right where I stand
You and I are not the same
Please stop pretending
The time is now — to draw a line
A line in the sand
We’ll be alright
We’ll be alright
We’ll be alright
We’ll be alright

Nietzsche on History
03:10
|
|||
Forgetting is an act, an act of liberty
We’re haunted by a past, by the specter of our cruelty
So vile, so ‘evil’ — it’s so sickening
Man the animal — the sinner — he should be ashamed!
The illness spreads, ‘slave morality’
So we hate ourselves, the birds of prey
Gouge your eyes out
Because you won’t like what you see
Gouge your eyes out
No more charity!
The ‘value of values’ is what we must critique
Who do they serve — what kinds of people do they make?
The weak, the herd, their love of mediocrity
Dead stop, dead stop — the end of prosperity
The illness spreads, ‘slave morality’
So we hate ourselves, the birds of prey
‘Bad conscience’ — it grows with everyday
Has Nietzsche not taught you anything?
Fight, fight, fight — it’s your destiny! Go!
That ‘god is dead’ is our chance for new beliefs
One’s to inspire, to advance humanity
This world is the ‘will to power’ — make no mistake
With a life-affirming ‘yes’ we embrace the suffering!
The illness spreads, ‘slave morality’
So we hate ourselves, the birds of prey
‘Bad conscience’ — it grows with everyday
Has Nietzsche not taught you anything?
Fight, fight, fight — it’s your destiny!
Has Nietzsche not taught you anything?
Fight, fight, fight — for supremacy!
Has Nietzsche not taught you anything?
Fight, fight, fight — it’s your destiny!
Gouge your eyes out
Because you won’t like what you see
Gouge your eyes out
No more charity!

Dying Breed
02:53

Some of us could hear him
Some of us could not
‘Cause some of us were willing
And some of us were not
Some of us had taken
Another attitude
Some of us had taken
A different point of view
Those of us who listened
Were those who understood
Those of us who didn’t
We knew they never would
Those of us who got it
The future was at hand
Those of us who didn’t
The past would never end
Where has it gone…
The will to be free?
Where is the love
Of tragedy?
Where has it gone…
The will to be free?
Where is the love
Of tragedy?
A dying breed
That’s what I see
A dying breed
A vanishing
