A Scene of Insanity
02:16
|
|||
|
The setting is Pakistan
A brutal feud between two clans
The scene is the site
of rape and bloodshed
over a conflict
half a century old
a little boy at age 11
was subject to accusation
of having an affair with his sister
so as punishment
the men gang raped her
it turns out
the boy was sodomized
so in the end
both were victimized
This is the scene
for so many
hard to believe
that this is reality
there's no thought
of humanity
this is a scene
of insanity
The clans continue
to kill each other
one of the members
was accused of murder
in a bargain
for his life
eight of his daughters
were forced to be wives
authority arrived
and forced divorce
but the nightmare
hadn't ended yet
instead of becoming
rape victims
the paid the price of death

Killing For Profit
01:17

The government is our demise
we can tear down their disguise
kill from ground and the skies
killing for profit
Systematic genocide
legalizing homicide
how-to kits on suicide
killing for profit
Everything that I despise
see the world through greedy eyes
everyday we're told the lies
killing for profit
The death toll is on the rise
every second another dies
our end will be no surprise
killing for profit
killing for profit
a casualties a number
killing for profit
eradicate for lumber
killing for profit
money's the disease
killing for profit
we'll crumble to our knees
they've done it before
and they'll do it again
they're killing our women
our children and men

Papal Mind Rape
01:13
|
|||
|
Close minded beliefs
perpetuated by
the hierarchy of the church
it seems to me
their "ever loving god"
needs to intervene
and tell them
to practice what they preach
There's no tolerance
for those of different creed
continue the cycle
of money lust and greed
we must study
the enemy we face
we must stop them
from exploiting the human race
no preacher no priest
is better than me
they're all flesh and blood
following the church
is like following the government
in the end the young get screwed

Capitalist Terrorism
01:47
|

|
thousands of people walking the streets
no job no money no hope
laid of by the second largest us corporation
watching their earning fucking disappear
kennith lay get 8.3 billion
the working man gets thrown out on his ass
terrorist leaders have nothing
compared to the 50 million casualties of...
capitalist terrorism
capitalist terrorism
deadliest foes deep within our system
capitalist terrorism
capitalist terrorism
thoughtless greedy captains of industry are here
how many workers laid off by them
now inhabit the streets
plunging deeper into abject poverty
pale reflections of workers who stood proud
bush was backed by corporate money
money of wealthy men
before we tackle the outside opposition
attack the terror within
capitalist terrorism
capitalist terrorism
deadliest foes deep within our system
capitalist terrorism
capitalist terrorism
thoughtless greedy captains of industry are here

Crusade For Oil
01:39
|
|||
|
Ignoring UN policy
Weak as it may be
In this crusade for oil
OPEC's now our enemy
Can you see the real agenda
Can you justify this war
Hidden below Iraqi soil
Is what they're really fighting for
Imperial aspirations
Of a puppet government
Congressional intervention
Has become non-existent
Striving to achieve
Iraq's oil regiment
If we continue on this path
We are hell-bent
Carving up the oil
Conglomerates who want to strive
Through any means necessary
No matter who has to die
Their approach
To our economic system
Means the exponential growth
Of purely big business
Imperial aspirations
Of a puppet government
Congressional intervention
Has become non-existent
Striving to achieve
Iraq's oil regiment
If we continue on this path
We are hell-bent
Hated by the world population!!!
Work solely in the interest of our own nation!!!
Imperial aspirations
Of a puppet government
Congressional intervention
Has become non-existent
Striving to achieve
Iraq's oil regiment
If we continue on this path
We are hell-bent
