Black Sea 01:31
This city's swimming in a black sea The high tides been sold Swimming in a black sea What's inside of you? Our own bi-product being forced back upon us Through open waters, you're committing a crime Denial of right, you’re doing such wrong Those in control know these waters aren’t calm Intake by the masses leads to chemical reaction Sickness leads to death from the young straight to the old From the mainland to the island, broken hearted children crying And this beautiful country’s supposed to follow our lead? Swimming in black sea The high tide’s been sold

Take a Stand 01:28
I don't know what other people think I don't know what other people say All I know is that I know what's best for me You can't tell me how to live my life You can't tell me how I should behave All I know is that if you do, I will just scream no! I go through all these things you just don't understand Just because I don't say them doesn't mean they don't exist All I know is that i'm going to Take a Stand! You can't be my 10 commandments You don't know everything about life It's something that I must figure out on my own Every time you tell me what to do I wonder what's going in your head You sit on your high horse, thinking I'm brain dead!

We as humans have our rights But the boys in blue just want to start fights Peaceful protests need crowd control The men you arrest get no parole Beat us down, take away our freedom Tell me why, you’ve got no reason You’ve got the gun in your hand That makes you the bigger man Don't be so ignorant, they'll attack without hesitation Evidence is clear there is no wild imagination Brutal acts of so called protectors of the nation Power Corrupted innocent souls fuel the hatred of our youth The don’t want to hurt you at all But they throw themselves in before there’s even a brawl Next thing you know, it’s just you and him You take the hits, you know you can’t win Their authority’s gotten to their heads Their code of honour’s nothing but dead They may “stand on guard for thee” But those fuckers have corrupt authority They beat their riot shields in our faces But it’s about time the beaters swapped places Let’s kick-start a revolution United citizens can control a nation Let’s remold society Police brutality’s the last thing that we need Bring the press, we’ll start a global movement Showcase authority’s disenrollment

Watch the world unstimulated Pen in hand, I’m not motivated No credible source, no source at all No stories told on these plain white walls It’s obligation not inspiration Just a random design to be sung in time Meaningless words strung together Meaningless words but they last forever Hungry for creation with no appetite Words won’t come to me tonight I’ve created a bit of a challenge I guess A fun little game, I’m put to the test Waiting for hours for something to say Night after night, day after day It’s almost over, the struggle has ceased My weary mind can be put at ease One more push, I’ll be there then One more push, it’ll all end

All Aboard 02:01
Look in the mirror, tell me what you see I see a naïve mind being told who to be Big names won’t make you big game It’s such a tragedy You’ve got the fashion, you’ve got the look I’m sorry my friend, you can’t deny it But the bandwagon’s got you hooked You’ll be kissing the asses of the corporate masses For as long you look good I’m sorry my friend, you can’t deny it But the bandwagon’s got you hooked You’re all just a big sad sign of the times You’ve got your Obey swag so you’re doing just fine With your money and your clothes, you’ve got a place to go Three cheers for society!
