SEX TOY
She’s shaking up the Congress
The papers just can’t wait
Want to print her picture
Expose some head of state
They’re calling it a scandal
For her, it’s won acclaim
He’s gone into seclusion
Hiding from the shame
Sex toy! Sex toy! Sex toy!
JUNKYARD GANG
Pushed their buttons
Fired their weapons
Annihilated the Earth of the human race
A destiny of pain and ruin
With no compense after its doing
Condemned below the surface
By a pointless victory
The epitaph of a planet
Deemed to infamy
No hope to survive
Only fleeting remorse
YOU'RE A MESS
Want people to believe
You never had it good
Perverting sympathy
Is your livelihood
You lay waste in a state
Of disarray
Won’t do nothing
To change your ways
Procrastinating
Is your favourite trait
That’s why you’re second-rate
You’re a mess and it’s obvious
You’re the very worst of a mess
Turned out to be
Nothing but a pest
NEO-TYRANNY
Stirring the weak’s emotions
By offering them provocation
Swayed by a leader
Claiming to be a savior
Interprets the issues
To his own behalf
What can you achieve
By the use of coercion?
Resurgents breed a neo-tyranny
Brutal measures troubling the times
XENOPHOBIA
The wind is filled with caution
Scented with mistrust
Reselling of our foreign aid
Racks at society’s patience
I’m never occupied by your
Tourist consumerism
Xenophobia
With their different ways
Can’t understand
What they’re trying to say
MAD NEIGHBORHOOD
The efficiency of routine
Has become confinement
And many go
Restless on their own regrets
And they seek
Cheap reconciliation
Just to ease
Some of their own contempt
Mad neighborhood
Even gets the rich nervous
REIGN OF TERROR
Balance your designs
On subjugated ground
Sporadic targeting
Air their demands
Covert radicals
Take refuge in asylum
Allies reluctance
Afraid of reprisals
Reign of terror
We won’t give in
Reign of terror
We won’t give in
Reign of terror
We won’t give in!
ANGRY
She’s the razor’s edge
Piercing the social night
Neon hair
That bristles with a glow
You try to keep collected
Shocked on sight
Angry
Ripping up mediocrity
Angry
Graffiti
That stings the wall
