BLACK SITE
02:44
|

Dereliction of duty, aggravated assault
Enhanced interrogation, just another day on the job
Anything that works, you say, to keep the country clean and safe
Strung up by your legs to die when freedom is at stake
Stress kills millions in the USA
So do stress positions in a fucking cage
For every bill that’s signed with safety in its name
A person disappears into a place like Abu Ghraib
Black site prisons don’t build themselves
It takes contract labor to fill the cells
Prisons staffed by private crews
Hired by the government with nothing to lose
Fuck Guantanamo, with no exceptions
To think that we are free is a misconception
Burnt on both ends, we carry out the duty
To torture and interrogate, to engineer our enemy

PREDATORY RECRUITMENT
03:16
|
|||
The U.S. military sells enlistment like a product
Strategically placing recruitment offices near schools in poor neighborhoods
Convincing kids it’s a way to pay the bills
Go to college—help their families
The military is another form of prison, slavery
You lose your identity
Replaced by blind loyalty
They break down your self worth
Into a set of codes
A uniform collective of empty shells
Told to protect but their purpose is to kill
Never-mind the morality of war
This system is meant to protect the property and resources of a colonial corporatocracy
Whose freedom is protected under martial law?
So glad we killed the despot leaders we funded and trained
But can you really blame the “terrorists” for taking revenge?
A century of destruction
The battlefields of the “cold” war
That kind of constant desolation of a community
Is bound to breed resentment
They don’t hate our freedom
They hate our government
For murdering their families and friends
So when you say you serve your country
Which interests do you serve?
Do you think the wounded warrior project would exist
If the government cared about you?
How can we believe they protect their citizens
When they don’t even protect their veterans?

SACRIFICIAL DEPOSIT
03:10
|
|||
Seeping blood through electronic signatures
Making note of every drop
A document of each pulse
Pumping into the database
Dusting for 9 number fingerprints
There is no registration
My progress is logged
Choices are not made
Decisions are derived
The algorithm determines
What nets the most profit
All else is incidental
Each life is sacrificial
Cash is king when its on a hard-drive
All his subjects dispensible
No party lines defined
Above a certain income
Red and blue washed out by green

DRUG FEAR
04:23
|
|||
Manhandled from birth
The dregs of society comprise the majority
Contained and harvested
Like fish in a hatchery
Kept down by conflicting ideology
Sedated by the fantasy—
Hard work brings success
Attempts to circumvent
Are met with prison sentences
Untaxed drug sales
Could cost a lifetime
While “white collar” criminals
Just pay a fine
If it were a public health crisis
Addicts would be patients, not prisoners
But these laws aren’t made for you
They’re made for the protection of profits and property, not people
Drug addictions an affliction
Poverty’s a cause not a symptom
Intentionally orchestrated
With redlines and infrastructure
Tools used to divide and decline
The correlation to county lines by design
They spin it black vs white
Rich vs poor
Cop vs criminal
Red vs blue
When the only real divide
Is rule vs ruled
These conditions are engineered
To maintain poverty and create fear
To keep control over the masses
They want us sedated on our asses
While they make money off of suffering
Through the “justice” system and legislation
Make illegal what they can’t tax
And selling poison just to make a profit
Make it addict vs citizen
Right vs wrong
Anything to make us see
Our friends as enemies
Manhandled from birth
The ruling class form our paths
Work and contribute
Or break the law become enslaved
Drug addiction is an affliction, criminalized to make money of the cartels, to put more prisoners to work, more for-profit prisons instead of funding for rehab, these people are humans not monsters, suffering an ailment like cancer or Alzheimer’s, physical dependency isn’t a choice, overprescribed painkillers pushed by big companies infect communities but nobody cares, Government and corporations create poverty, poverty creates addiction and crime, criminals and addicts become dehumanized by design, this isn’t a decision or lifestyle, or a path to choose, this is a system made intentionally to produce profit through suffering, gaining support by dehumanizing our peers, your fear is a tool they use to divide and conquer.

The concept of truancy is societal control
State mandated standard curriculum
Learn to take orders
Complete mindless tasks
Conditioned to give up
Eight hours of every five days
Don’t want you to look up and see there’s no point
Till it’s too late, you have no choice
This system exists to make you a slave
Turn your freewill into a fucking game
School, college, job, no time to complain
Its not for you
Public schools
Aren’t for education
Its a method of submission
And racist division
It starts the cycle of inequality
Pulled up by the bootstraps of concrete shoes
The federal mafia collects its dues

POSSESSION
03:17
|
|||
Deeper and deeper
Your flesh sinks
Sanity divided
In a world without allegiance
Blood....
Soil...
Flesh...
Fear...
You trust the commands
As they arise
Satisfy the urge
“Protect what is mine”
To sow a seed of doubt
Deep within your mind
A poisoning ff your reality
Seeps between your eyes
Between your eyes
Welcome to your new world
The “illusion” of unity dies
Doubt pierces the veil Your life
Crucible of terror

FTP II

The biggest gangs in the world are all police
PNC, SARS, NYPD….
They terrorize the masses to protect property
Destroy the thin blue line or no ones free
“Every city, every town, burn the precincts to the ground”
They maintain austerity with impunity
And mass media glorifies these occupying armies
Truncheons, guns and helicopters all to keep you in fear
Sound canons and robot dogs all to keep you in fear
They terrorize the masses to protect property
Abolish the Police or no one can be free

GREEN PIECE
02:19
|

The destruction of the human race is inevitable
If not by our own doing then by nature
So why do we pretend to care
When there's little we do to actually stop it?
Nuclear arsenals serve no purpose
Than to eradicate all life
pollution sterilizes the planet
While we deplete its resources
Deforestation to coal, now rare earth elements
So i can play scrabble on my phone?
We’re steadily killing of all life
Directly and by proxy
Drop the illusion a difference can be made
These events were put in motion
Plastics are poison
Each city is a slaughterhouse
The end of humans is not only inevitable but arguably ethical
Our disregard for our planet is idiotic
Our disrespect of each other is cruel
We’re a species of self centered morons
Too clever for our own good
Aim our barrels away from each other
And point them at ourselves
At least then the intention will match the result

... PEACE ON EARTH?
03:41
|
|||
Capital comes
Into the world
Dripping
From head to toe
From every pore
With blood, and dirt
There is no hope within this system
For Peace on Earth
Remake the earth into a vampire’s feast
Exploitation leaves all life writhing in need
You squeeze more value from a world of caged beasts
The degradation of all that grows
Broken Bodies
Barren Soil
This world was not made for endless toil
Rent, profit, accumulation
The vampires’ dream
No space is afforded
For dignity
Violence breeds value
Value breeds violence
But peace is free
