Antisocial You're a train ride to mno importance You're in love with hell existence Money is all that you desire Why don't you pack it in and retire It's common sense you can't fool me I'm just the money that you can't let free Rainy day genius clouds your mind don't you realize the blind lead the blind You're anti, you're anisocial Oh mister time will you ever unwind Or just rebuild a new design Your claim to fame is law and order The rich get rich, the poor get poor You put a price tag on what you see This one's for you, that's for me If that's winning I'd rather lose Why don't you listen to my senselewss views You're anti, you're antisocial How do you feel? You're a train ride to no importance You're in love with hell existence Money is all that you desire Why don't you pack it in and retire It's common nature you can't fool me I'm just the money that you can't let free Rainy day genius clouds your mind Don't you realize theblind lead the blind You're anti, you're antisocial ANTISOCIAL.....
Who Cares Wins Close your eyes to the horror Close your eyes to the pain When you live in a box No one knows your name Living in the street Moms and kids with nothing to eat Welfare hotels Who says there's no place called hell I can't see you I can't hear you You don't see me You couldn't be me Who cares wins There but for the grace of god There but for the grace of god Who cares, who cares, who cares, who cares There but for the grace of god THere but for the grace of god.. Go you ar I Open your eyes You don't see me You couldn't be me Invisible could be my name Your excuses are so lame Real pleas fall on deaf ears Look away when I'm near Freezing cold in winters heat Buring up can be a teat Blisters breaking on my feet At least I get a subway seat I cant' see you I can't hear you You don't see me You couldn't be me Who cares wins There but for the grace of god There but for the grace of god Who cares, who cares, who cares, who cares There but fot the grace of god There but for the grace of god... Go you or I Open your eyes You don't see me You couldn't be me Who cares wins Self help and preservation Not now I'm on vacation Priority is you And screw all those around you Now's the time for you to share Indifference you have to care Deep inside youknow it's true How do I get through to you Open your eyes to the horror Open your eyes to the pain When youlive in a box No one knows your name Chorus
Now It's Dark In dreams I can rule your life, with me nothing's ever right. Sing for me up on a stage, keep your mind trapped in a cage. I'm your man I'm what you need, dance with me but never lead. One deep breath will set me free, don't you fuckin' look at me. You know that I am... One fuckin' well dressed man! Chorus: Now it's dark, but I can see, Don't you fuckin' look at me. Now it's dark, your gonna be, Exactly what I want to see. Now it's dark, Mommy, Don't you fuckin' look at me! A sensation, Of elation, Intoxication, Now it's dark! A candy coated existence, underneath is decadence. What was hidden you have found, made it your own battleground. Pretty, pretty don't say please, don't you fuckin' look at me. You know that I am... One fuckin' well dressed man! Chorus I'll send you a love letter Straight from the bottom of my heart. You'll be fucked forever The candy coated clown's done his part. I'm your man I'm what you need Dance with me but never lead. One deep breath will set me free Don't you fuckin' look at me. You know that I am... One fuckin' well dressed man! Chorus
Schism Don't look at me as a white man, I'm just a man. Don't look at me as a black man, I'm just a man! It takes a man to deal with ignorance, Prove that you can. Like having to climb a barbwire fence. PRE-CHORUS Can ya tell me how it feels to be hated? Can ya tell me how it feels to be loved? Can you show me what it means to be respected? Or is the answer none of the above? It's so easy to hate your brother, It should be hard. It's so easy to hate your friends, Why ain't it hard? Love and hate come in the deck together, Play your card. Love or hate can rule you life forever. Pre-Chorus CHORUS: Hating, fighting, lying, and I can't take... Bitching, screwing, crying, and I just hate... Taking, cheating, spying, and I can't take... Hating, fighting, dissing, fighting, fighting, Fighting... And I can't take no... SCHISM!! Schism, SK, SK, SK, SCHISM, A house divided can't stand. Prejudice is un-natural thought When we were kids It's not inherited, it's taught When we were kids If we were blind and had no choice Differences hid Would we hate each other by the tone of our voice? Pre-Chorus Chorus
