Pennywise
Land Of The Free?
Time has changed. What's going wrong?
You can only regress as time marches on
Down with the system enough of the lies
You can only realize if you open up your eyes -- up your eyes
I don't know if we're ever gonna see
Tell me what's gone wrong with society
Got no future, this is no life for me
And I don't just what went wrong
All that I know it's gone on too long
Got no future there is no life for me -- not for me
Look ahead what is our fate
To make the same mistakes we made yesterday
Or do we try to save ourselves
Or sit back and laugh as it all goes to hell
I don't know if we're ever gonna see
Tell me what's gone wrong with society
Got no future, this is no life for me
And I don't just what went wrong
All that I know it's gone on too long
Got no future there is no life for me -- not for me
Time has changed. What's going wrong?
We can only regress as time marches on
Marches on, marches on, marches on
Marhces on
Land of the free and we're united
Make our destiny, we take control. Yeah!
Never divided, we got the power
And we'll never be divided we fall. Oh yeah!
Land of the free, free to conspire, to control destiny. Oh yeah!
You're gonna see, no use resisting you live in the land of the free
Free to control your life
Land of the free
Free to control your mind
Land of the free
Land of the free (democracy), united nations of hypocrisy
Profit's our goal, we're incorporated
It's big business and oil companies controlling us all. Oh yeah!
Land of the free, free to conspire, to control destiny. Oh yeah!
You're gonna see, no use resisting you live in the land of the free
Free to control your life
Land of the free
Free to control your mind
Land of the free
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States Of Hypocrisy and to the republic for which it stand. One nation without liberty and justice for all.
Free to control your life
Land of the free
Free to control your mind
Land of the free
Free to control your life
Land of the free
Free to control your mind
Land of the free
Yeah right!
Hatred from your closed mind, nothing you think is gonna change
Your actions speak so loud you've got to try a different way
We live together, we're worlds apart down on the streets
Because we're too proud no one will ever admit defeat
The world is a smoking gun that is loaded
And soon it's gonna blow you away
Up till now nobody has noticed
But we're going to have our say
Where do we draw the line, nobody seems to have clue
We're at each other's throats cos we don't share a point of view
So what's the problem, can't see beneath the shade of skin
A vicious circle, a human race no one can win
The world is a smoking gun that is loaded
And soon it's gonna blow you away
Up till now nobody has noticed
But we're going to have our say
It's just a state of mind, it's not reality
It's all psychosomatic static inhumanity
A savage mental sickness that plagues the human race
And it's going to blow up in your face
The world is a smoking gun that is loaded
And soon it's gonna blow you away
Up till now nobody has noticed
But we're going to have our say
The world is a smoking gun that is loaded
And soon it's gonna blow you away
Up till now nobody has noticed
But we're going to have our say
Someday you gotta find another way
You better right your mind and live by what you say
Today is just another day
Unless you set your sights and try to find a way
I say fuck authority
Silent majority
Raised by the system
Now it's time to rise against them
We're sick of your treason
Sick of your lies
Fuck no! we won't listen
We're gonna open your eyes
Frustration, domination
Feel the rage of a new generation
We're living, we're dying
And we're never gonna stop, stop trying
Stop trying, stop trying, stop trying
You know the time is right to take control
We got to take offense against the status quo
No way! not gonna stand for it today
Fight for your rights, it's time we had our say
I say fuck authority
Silent majority
Raised by the system
Now it's time to rise against them
We're sick of your treason
Sick of your lies
Fuck no we won't listen
We're gonna open your eyes
Frustration, domination
Feel the rage of a new generation
We're living, we're dying
We're sick and tired of reliving this live
Destroy, enjoy ?????????????????
??????????????????????
Fuck authority
Silent majority
Raised by the system
Now it's time to rise against them
We're sick of your treason
Sick of your lies
Fuck no we won't listen
We're gonna open your eyes
Frustration, domination
Feel the rage of a new generation
We're living, we're dying
And we're never gonna stop, stop trying
Stop trying, stop trying, stop trying
I'd like to encourage you
To believe the things I do
Fact is something's wrong inside of me
At times I find it hard to see
What I really want to be
And that's when something snaps inside of me
I was once just like you
Born without a fucking clue
And now I live my life to be free
Live your life, Jesus Christ
Trouble in paradise
Mom and dad they're not too proud of me
They're not too proud of me
They're not too proud of me
I'm never gonna be
It's so plain to see
You are not like me
Look at what you've done to me
A product of society
Confusion on your face is plain to see
I can't stand your attitude
Think I'm lost, think I'm rude
Your opinion's invalid to me
You don't like my tatoos
How does this dishonor you
Don't you know what's inside of me
Sick and tired of all the lies
When will you realize
I'm proud just being me
They're not too proud of me
They're not too proud of me
I'm never gonna be
It's so plain to see
You are not like me
Yeah! Yeah! I can't believe
Hopeless indecision's got a hold of me
Yeah! Yeah! It's plain to see
I'm a product of society
There's something wrong with me
There's something wrong with me
Never gonna be who you wanna be
You are not like me
They're not too proud of me
They're not too proud of me
I'm never gonna be
It's so plain to see
You are not like me
Yeah! Yeah! I can't believe
Hopeless indecision's got a hold of me
Yeah! Yeah! It's plain to see
I'm a product of society
There's something wrong with me
There's something wrong with me
There's something wrong with me
Something wrong with me
Well it comes as no surprise, don't you realize
You can't back up deceit with more sad alibis
Cos you never are to blame, driving you insane
Cos when your words are gone the damage still remains
You don't wanna believe...
That you're human just like me -- By blaming me you gain control
I'm not the enemy -- you want a scapegoat for your crimes
You're just like me -- Me
I'm not the enemy
You're just like me
It seems impossible to me, a tragic comedy
That I'm the villain in your twisted fantasy
But to me its not a game, driving me insane
We're all just victims in your sinister charade
You don't wanna believe...
That you're human just like me -- By blaming me you gain control
I'm not the enemy -- You want a scapegoat for your crimes
You're just like me -- Me
I'm not the enemy
You're just like me
You don't wanna believe...
Cos you're human just like
You're human just like me -- By blaming me you gain control
I'm not the enemy -- You want a scapegoat for your crimes
You're just like me -- Me
I'm not the enemy
You're just like me
People on the street they want to find a god they'll never know
Organized religion pulls the blinds then they pull the wool
They open up your head they're fucking with your mind
Now you can't see because you're blind
You try to make amends but your heads still spinning round
The church of Jesus Christ says it's time don't fuck around
You want to go to heaven you see it isn't free
Give your money up to me
My god is not the one that you wanna to see
Your god is a mirage, a conspiracy
You pray for forgiveness cos your sinning
Scared to death so your money you'll be giving
Holier than thou with your one way morality
I think your shallow faith isn't based in reality
You don't like how were living,
We're sinful and obscene
Why are you judging me?
You're richer than god, but you're crying out for more
You're living like a king, while you steal from the poor
You wanna be forgiven, get on your knees and pray
Send in your cash and be saved
My god is not the one that you wanna to see
Your god is a mirage, a conspiracy
You pray for forgiveness cos your sinning
Scared to death so your money you'll be giving, yeah!
Better hope you've been chosen to be saved
Cos your empathy only goes so far today
Pay no mind to those in pain
They just want the souls that are willing to pay... their way
Your god's not for me
My god is not the one that you wanna to see
Your god is a mirage, a conspiracy
You pray for forgiveness cos your sinning
Scared to death so your money you'll be giving, yeah!
My god is not the one that you wanna to see
Your god is a mirage, a conspiracy
You pray for forgiveness cos your sinning
Scared to death so your money you'll be giving, yeah!
Stop!
Feels great when you get the run around, life you led was full of lies
Too late when you start to look around, all you find is wasted lives
Do you want to obliterate some things you don't understand
Since you want to succumb to fate, watch the world slip through your hands
You get the feeling that its never gonna change
It doesn't mean a thing
Your life's not gonna end, it'll be O.K.
Don't say goodbye my friend
Cos it doesn't mean a thing
A simple twist of fate
No it doesn't mean a thing
You start to get the feeling that it's never gonna end
It doesn't mean a thing
You hate when you start to think about things in life that could have been
Too late its not gonna turn around, can't escape the mess your in
Do you wish there was a way to stop the fickle hand of fate
Or do you give in to the urge and kill the very thing you hate
You get the feeling that its never gonna change
It doesn't mean a thing
Your life's not gonna end, it'll be O.K.
Don't say goodbye my friend
Cos it doesn't mean a thing
A simple twist of fate
No! It doesn't mean a thing
You start to get the feeling that it's never gonna end
It doesn't mean a thing
Do you feel alive for the first time?
Do you feel alive for the first time?
Do you feel alive for the first time?
Do you feel alive, ALIVE?
Looking ahead not far away
Someday soon but not today
Things may get better, things may get worse
Depending on who gets there first
Nothing in common, nothing will change
Together we'll go our separate ways
Nothing to stop us from caving in
Someone's got to lose when someone wins
Look at the world you're living in
Someday you'll have to pick a side
For the rest of your life
Who's on your side?
A voice in the dark a light in the haze
A flame that burns then fades away
Alone in the night, a ship lost at sea
A state of emergency
With no way of knowing what's coming next
Survival of who fits in best
Looking for answers, but where to begin?
We all want to know how this one ends
Look at the world you're living in
Someday you'll have to pick a side
For the rest of your life
Who's on your side?
Look at the world you're living in
Who's on your side?
????????
Who's on your side?
????????
Who's on your side?
This isn't make believe
A faded picture show
As we drown you're slowly letting go
Look at the world you're living in
Someday you'll have to pick a side
For the rest of your life
Who's on your side?
Look at the world you're living in
Who's on your side?
????????
Who's on your side?
????????
Who's on your side?
I see things happening
They fall before my eyes
Pretend I'm blind
Like I could never see
The heartache that's not mine
And fills my head
Can I just laugh away
The sights that tear my soul
And make me sick
No I could never be
So cold to look away
Is it so wrong to want to make a difference?
I'd like to think there's no excuse
Is it a crime to want things better for yourself?
How you wanna live is up to you, it's up to you!
Wish I could be like you
Indifferent to it all
Like life's a joke
Sarcastic, cynical
Like everything's O.K.
But it just won't work
In life you have to choose
To stay at home and hide
Or stand up and fight
If caring's my offense
Then I proudly stand accused
So how about you?
Is it so wrong to want to make a difference?
I'd like to think there's no excuse
Is it a crime to want things better for yourself?
How you wanna live is up to you, it's up to you!
Is it so wrong to want to make a difference?
I'd like to think there's no excuse
Is it a crime to want things better for yourself?
How you wanna live is up to you, it's up to you!
It's up to you! It's up to you!
It's up to you! It's up to you!
It's up to you! It's up to you!
Life is a lesson you can only learn for free
And time keeps on slippin' like a faded memory
I got the answers staring right in front of me
Time heal my soul
Set me free! Set me free! Set me free! Set me free!
I stand about, face my mission
You don't know what you've been missing'
There is a reason for all that comes to be
My troubled life riddled with dark insanities
I need solutions for the pain that surrounds me
Time here's my soul
Set me free! Set me free! Set me free! Set me free!
I stand about, face my mission
You don't know what you've been missing'
Life is a lesson you can only learn for free
And time keeps on slippin' like a faded memory
I got the answers staring right in front of me
Time heal my soul
Set me free! Set me free! Set me free! Set me free!
You don't need divine intervention
For all the things that you never can face
You don't need good intentions
Cos in the end it is all just a waste
We all need an endless vacation
From all the problems the world can provide
We just need reconciliation
To repair what is wrong in our lives
I can't face the day, don't want to try
I want to waste away, 'til I'm lost
Save me from all the chaos
I'll radiate 'til I'm gone
So wait, wait, so many things that you'll never break away
Wait, wait, save your answers there's nothing when you're gone from here
It's only another day wasted
That's replayed in the back of your mind
A snapshot that you suffocated
Among the shadows and little white lies
You don't need a crude benediction
A pale savior you can sacrifice
You just need a new definition
When you're feeling alone in the night
I can't face the day, don't want to try
I want to waste away, 'til I'm lost
Save me from all the chaos
I'll radiate 'til I'm gone
So wait, wait, so many things that you'll never break away
Wait, wait, save your answers there's nothing when you're gone from here
You don't need divine intervention
For all the things that you never can face
You don't need good intentions
Cos in the end it is all just a waste
We all need an endless vacation
From all the problems the world can provide
We just need reconciliation
To repair what is wrong in our lives
To repair what is wrong in our lives
I can't
Wait, wait, so many things that you'll never break away
Wait, wait, so many things that you'll dared to say
Wait, wait, so many things that you'll never break away
Wait, wait, save your answers there's nothing when you're gone from here
You're gone from here!
You're Gone from here!
You're Gone from here!
I just can't understand
And I don't know how anyone can
Cos with every passing day
It gets worse in every way
It's time that we make a stand!
It's time that we make a stand!
I sit here and wonder why
How many more people got to die
Before we're gonna learn
How many got to burn
Until we all realize!
Until we all realize!
See it everyday
It never goes away
Never slowing, always growing, never going away
This is the day
You'll see our way
We've had enough some things are gonna change
The future's bright, people unite
Better believe you're in for a fight
behind smiles and pageantry
Lies a vile and sadistic history
Insidious design
Deceitful and sublime
Feeding on misery
Feeding on misery
See it everyday
It never goes away
Never slowing, always growing, never going away
This is the day
You'll see our way
We've had enough some things are gonna change
The future's bright, people unite
Better believe you're in for a fight
The world's got a bad disease
And I think I got a fucking remedy
A molotov cocktail
Freedom will prevail
A new world society
We're not gonna be ignored
Believe us this means war
Something you can trust
You shouldn't fuck with us
We're not gonna take it anymore!
We're not gonna take it anymore!
See it everyday
It never goes away
Never slowing, always growing, never going away
This is the day
You'll see our way
We've had enough some things are gonna change
The future's bright, people unite
Better believe you're in for a fight
This is the day
You'll see our way
We've had enough some things are gonna change
The future's bright, people unite
Better believe you're in for a fight
Far below beneath a burning hot sun
Our civility is waking up
Hate your neighbor cos he's not your kind
Fell out of favor, now he's out of luck
Get in your car, fuel up and get a job
You got no worries you don't care that much
Pass the beggars, as they lie out on the street
Just look away and roll your windows up
You don't have to worry... He's not one of us, yeah!
Is there anyone listening
To this beautiful tragedy?
Is there anyone watching
This wonderful nightmare?
Don't care much you'd rather kill!
Check out Johnny as he plays out in the street
Keeps to himself, he doesn't say too much
Can't get along with the kids in school
Likes to make bombs and blow things up
His mom and dad think everything's fine
They got no worries they don't care that much
All that tension bottled up inside
One day soon now he's gonna erupt
You don't have to worry... He's not one of us, yeah!
Is there anyone listening
To this beautiful tragedy?
Is there anyone watching
This wonderful nightmare?
Don't care much you'd rather kill!
Is there anyone listening
To this beautiful tragedy?
Is there anyone watching
This wonderful nightmare?
Is there anyone listening
To this beautiful tragedy?
Is there anyone watching
This wonderful nightmare?
Don't care much you'd rather kill!
