1.Here At The Bottom
We're coming for you
You think you're so superior
You claim:the people rule
Here at the bottom
There's people too
2.The New Voice
What a surprise they painted a beautiful picture of another
perfect day
The new leaders took over and followed the footsteps on a road
the old world paved
Made it up to the top on a ladder that they didn't leave behind
So once again to the top poverty doesn't matter cause the new
leaders
Are feeling just fine
We're the new voice
We're the new voice
We're the new voice
The new voices of discontent
Didn't choose the better of two who chose the one's who gained
our trust
Once again we followed the leader once again the whole world's
fucked
Leaders led without looking back it's time we trusted in
ourselves
The time has come a thousand rise up
Time to send the bastards straight to hell
This voice will never fade away
3.The Revolt Of 1000
We had the strength of numbers so we made the charge
A thousand guns pointed at their bullet proof walls
They called it an exercise in futility
But fighting without exercise seems as futile to me
So we carried on strong against all odds
In defiance of our masters in the face of their gods
Over the waters and across the land
A battlecry carried the refusal of man
So we soldiered on brought the war a thousand strong
And we lay a thousand men to rest
But as the dust cleared it uncovered a thousand dead bodies of
our own
A thousand more reasons to take it to them a thousand more
reasons
We would never give in/we would fight til the end
4.Chemical 3
The new revolutions come in waves
Breaking down our perimeter brick by brick
Our arms can only keep them at arm's length the time has come
To introduce something new
And keep this populous subdued
Another revolution always on the rise
A brand new generation unafraid to fight
Another wave of disillusion crashing at our doors
They carry on they carry on
Our tradition of......
Something today
To keep the malcontents at bay
To numb the body and poison the mind
A criminalized chemical will do just fine
Because he plans this while she plots that
The mob says “hey ya better watch your back”
Control them with substance and keep them down
A pharmaceutical smile spread to every town
Another revolution always on the rise
A brand new generation unafraid to fight
Another wave of disillusion crashing at our doors
They carry on they carry on
Our tradition of......
War
The new revolutions came in waves
But we never ever never ever let them penetrate
We controlled and kept them in their place
But only really slowed them down they'll still be back for more
Of this never ending war
Another revolution always on the rise
A brand new generation unafraid to fight
Another wave of disillusion crashing at our doors
They carry on they carry on
Our tradition of......
War
The never ending war
5.Bombs Away
Fight fire with fire just throw guns at our problems
Soon the killing will stop yea soon as everyone's dead
Mines in the sands come to rule over lands
Solutions now a threat
Keep arming the world over in the name of fair play
Watch a shower of bullets wash our problems away
'Til we blacken the sky let the lead hail fly
And all will be okay
Bombs away
Let everyone play
With guns ablaze to light the way
So bombs away let everyone play
Let everyone get a little piece of the dead
While a nation of schools sat like ducks in a pool
The unarmed cowards fled
So where are the real heroes strapped and armed to the teeth
Why are innocent children hiding under their seats
Put a gun in the desk and protect 'em the best you can
Bombs away
Let everyone play
With guns ablaze to light the way
Sick cats on mice
Sick dogs on cats
Sick wolves on dogs
Sick bears on wolves
And carry on the cycle the solutions of spilling blood
What say you father can you show me a better way? No!
Then it's bombs away to save the day
Bombs away
Let everyone play
With guns ablaze to light the way
6.Cancer
Is there any kind of chance that we could co-exist
When our over comfort levels are establishment
What a laugh I'd like to see them try to take it away
No they're never gonna take it away
Well I own three of these because it's better than one
You consume for survival I'm consuming for fun
What a laugh I'd like to see them try to take it away
No they're never gonna take it away
Now she's got cancer she's got cancer
But it's not a killer, she's got an answer
Now she's got cancer she's got cancer
But it's not a killer, she's got an answer
No she's not afraid to fight a plague with a plague
We all fight for survival and destroy what we may
She's got cancer but there's always a cure there's always a way
Well they said go green but buy as much as you can
Let a solar powered mansion set the standard for man
Anything to fake illusions to the world you care
Yea you gotta show the world you care
Try to limit what you take so the extravagant few
Can take comfort having fifty times as much as you do
What a laugh I'd like to see somebody take it away
No one's ever gonna take it away
When the fires of a thousand suns collide
Will you survive?
No no one's getting out alive
7.Divided We Stand
Every effort to free ourselves and make the bastards pay
We paved over a battlefield where thousands passed away
Think of how we stood strong and proud with every victory
How we fired up the crowds the angry mobs we'd see
We took our voices to the streets and we marched yeah we marched
all night and day
Told the powers of our discontent living with our way of life
today
But they didn't have to listen to us cause our voice would fade
away
Drowned ourselves out with a thousand different views
(Watching, waiting, falling, failing)
Tried to unite under the cry of anti- this and that
Tried to come together with ideals from every different sect
Couldn't agree on what to fight about or just what to reject
They didn't even have to snuff us out we did their job for them
We sat around and we talked about it
Ran around and made a fuss about it
Our self importance/selfish egos couldn't live without it
Never realizing that we allowed it
(Fighting, crying, falling, dying)
We didn't really care about the stakes
Only stood to serve our own beliefs
Fell victim to humankind's indelible disease
Another selfish tragedy
8.Another Fine Mess
Some refuse to believe it
Just propaganda to keep us more confined
While others sweep it under the rug
To be uncovered later by our young
Some say living is dying
And every breath is just counting down
To the day when all your pointless endeavors mean nothing
To the day they out you underground
But it's the cry of the selfish one's who say:
“Me first get to the back of the line
The world is dying but I'm winning the race
We'll be long gone before we pay for our crimes”
It's another fine mess do you hear that knocking at your door
It's another fine mess today
It's another fine mess and it's getting harder to ignore
It's another fine mess we've made
And the confident leaders
Will only lead us to the end of the day
Lining their pockets with the lives of our children
Ignoring tomorrow cause it's so far away
And the ignorant will say:
“Your science is denial of god”
But the denial they refuse to admit
Is the end of it all we've already been warned
From the oil that burns without keeping us warm
The foreshadowing winds of the nastiest storms
Out of sight out of mind it's not time there's no time to be
blind
It's another fine mess do you hear that knocking at your door
It's another fine mess today
It's another fine mess and it's getting harder to ignore
It's another fine mess we've made
Where will stand when the land that you love has been flooded
With the apathy of years before
When the lines in the sand have been washed away
Along the rapidly receding shores
From the oil that burns without keeping us warm
The foreshadowing winds of the nastiest storms
Out of sight out of mind it's not time there's no time to be
blind
It's another fine mess do you hear that knocking at your door
It's another fine mess today
It's another fine mess so much greater than your petty wars
It's another fine mess we've made
9.Colours
The ongoing era of a racist government
Do you wonder why there's fighting in the streets
Where minority status is a thing of the past
There's no dominant colour but there's still a master race
The illusion of moving forward
When the hatred still runs deep and we know
If white is the sight of all colours at once
Than surrender your throne......
This revolution is our call
That's coloured writing on the wall
And we won't stop until you fall
If we fall it won't be far at all
They tell you to take pride in who you are
In your family your history what brought you to the world
But pride is the devil don't isolate yourself
Cause the colour of blood runs the same
Embrace your heritage lightly
And be weary of the history of hate
Acknowledge difference suffer intolerance
Know the route of rac-ism is race
10.Isolated
As we look beyond
Our own front doors to the borders that lie out of sight
What'll keep us protected
From the circling wolves the hungry and the lord of the flies
They'll invade our land and take what is ours
If we don't hold these lines we won't be safe anymore
Can't you see they've imprisoned us all
We've gotta lock 'em out if we can't lock 'em away
So we build the walls
Higher and higher 'til we can't see to the other side
They'll keep us protected
From the hungry little animals threatening our way of life
And no one can penetrate our secure little fortress
Cold steel and concrete will keep them out
But these walls can't be taken from either side
It's a prison we built it's a prison for us
It's hard to see if you close your eyes
Hard to get out if your locked inside
Is this our only safe reality?
Feel secure with a lonely life
It's hard to breathe if you're so confined
Is isolated the best that we can be
Now we stare across
Our neighbor's lawn what secrets lie behind their locked doors
They stare back through their window
In suspicion of us and all the little rumors they've heard
Who knows how they plan to take away our freedom
With violence, with theft, or lies?
Must we stay blind in the age of surveillance
For safety's sake it's our right to know
As we draw these lines it's a fear we primed
It's a fear of losing it all but your mind
Barricade your plate and protect your meals
Reinforce your own self imprisoning life
So we watch the skies
We watch the land and the sea no nobody can stay out of sight
And as we watch we are listening
To every little bit we can hear
So throw all your secrets out their ours to keep now
If your innocent you have nothing to hide
Privacy is the is the price of safety
You're free to speak just repeat after me
11.The Rain
Well she laughs at all of us still she loves us all the same
Were we greedy or green she will wash herself clean with a
cleansing pouring rain
Were we saving her? No we were saving ourselves from the
feelings of her pain
And our cries of regret wash the last of our breath away
Well she laughs at all of us still she loves us all the same
Were we greedy or green she will wash herself clean with a
cleansing pouring rain
Were we saving her? No we were saving ourselves and our efforts
were in vain
And our cries of regret wash the last of our breath away
When we feared for the end of our days
Were we saving ourselves from the pain
Will we ever get out we will never get out
Will we find our way out of the rain
Well she laughs at all of us and our self plotted mass grave
Her greedy little children bit off more than they could chew
Do we stay 'til the end? Do suffer the winds? Well I'll stay as
long as you
But I won't find the words there's just not enough time to be
true
Well I knew this day would come but it came far too soon
I was robbed of the chance to show you how I feel, how I need
you
Watch the sun's final rise as the waters rise up, are you
thinking of me too?
Well I'm holding my breath wishing I could hold your breath, I
could hold you, but it won't come true
Close your eyes but don't bother to pray
In the end there will be no more pain
Cause we'll never escape no we'll get never get out
No we'll never get out of the rain
And so dim world survived humankind before they even had the
chance
To nuke the planet right out of orbit right out of time and
space
Still she carries on as she always has-we were just a blink of
an eye
But we made our mark we left plenty of scars to prove we were
alive
Well I hope it was all worth the cost
As we drown in these waters of loss
As we long for the days when threw it away
Know those days are no longer for us
Close your eyes but don't bother to pray
In the end there will be no more pain
Cause we never escaped no we never got out
Didn't find our way out of the rain
12.Slumlords (Reprise)
It's the land of the roaches
That we once hosted
Now it's back in the hands
Of the lords of the land
