1. Voices


So, are you breathing?
So, do you breathe?

Wake up, are you alive
Will you listen to me
Iīm gonna talk about some freaky shit now
Someone is gonna die when you listen to me
Let the living die, let the living die, say

Are you breathing now
Do the wicked see you
You still breathing
Youīre making me known
Are you breathing now
Do the wicked see you
You still breathing

So, whatīs up
I wonder why do you listen to me
Iīm gonna make you do some freaky shit now
Insane, youīre gonna die when you listen to me
Let the living die, let the living die, say

So

Save me God

I can hear the voice but I donīt want to listen
Strap me down and tell me Iīll be alright
I can feel the subliminal need to be one
with the voice and make everything go
I can hear the voice but I donīt want to listen
Strap me down and tell me Iīll be alright
I can feel the subliminal need to be one with
the voice and make
Everything alright



2. The Game


Tell me exactly what am I supposed to do
Now that I have allowed you to beat me
Do you think that we could play another game?
Maybe I could win this time
I kind of like the misery you put me through
Darling you can trust me completely
If you even try to look the other way
I think that I could kill this time

It doesnīt really seem Iīm getting through to you
Though I see you weeping so sweetly
I think that you might have to take another taste
A little bit of hell this time

Lie to me
Lie to me

Is she not right?
Is she insane?
Will she now
Run for life in the battle that ends this day
Is she not right?
Is she insane?
Will she now
Run for her life now that she lied to me

You always wanted people to remember you
To leave your mark on society
Well donīt you know your wish is coming true today
Another victim dies tonight

Lie to me
Lie to me

Is she really
Telling lies again
Doesnīt she realize
Sheīs in danger

The little bitch she went and she told a lie
And now she will never tell another, a lie
The little bitch she went and she told a lie
NEVER FUCKING LIE TO ME



3. Stupify


Yeah
Bringing you another disturbing creation
From the mind of one sick animal
Who canīt tell the difference
And got stupified

Iīve been waiting my whole life for just one fuck
And all I needed was just one fuck
How can you say that you donīt give a fuck
I find myself stupified coming back again

All I wanted was just one fuck
One tiny little innocent fuck
And when I feel like Iīm shit out of luck
I find myself stupified, coming back again

Why, do you like playing around with
My narrow scope of reality
I can feel it all start slipping
I think Iīm breaking down
Why do you like playing around with
My narrow scope of reality
I can feel it all start slipping away

See but I donīt get it
Donīt you think maybe we can put it on credit?
Donīt you think it can take control when I donīt
let it?
I get stupified
Itīs all the same you say, live with it
But I donīt get it
Donīt you think maybe we can put on credit?
Donīt you think it can take control when I donīt
let it?
I get stupified

All the people in the left wing rock
And all the people in the right wing rock
And all the people in the underground rock
I find myself stupified, coming back again
All the people in the high rise rock
And all the people in the projects rock
And all la hente in the barrio rock
I find myself stupified, coming back again

Donīt deny me
Oh baby now, donīt deny me
And darling donīt be afraid

Look in my face stare in my soul, I begin to
stupify



4. Down With The Sickness


Drowning deep in my sea of loathing
Broken your servant I kneel
(Will you give in to me)
It seems whatīs left of my human side is slowly changing in me
(Will you give in to me)
Looking at my own reflection
When suddenly it changes
Violenty it changes
There is no turning back now
Youīve woken up the demon in me

Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Open up your hate and let it flow in to me
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
You mother get up, come on get down with the sickness
You fucker get up, come on get down with the sickness
Madness is the gift that has been given to me

I can see inside you the sickness is rising
Donīt try to deny what you feel
(Will you give in to me)
It seems that all that was good has died
And is decaying me
(Will you give in to me)
It seems youīre having some trouble
In dealing with these changes
Living with these changes
The world is a scary place
Now that youīve woken up the demon in me

Madness has now come over me

And when I dream
No mommy donīt do it again
Donīt do it again
Iīll be a good boy
Iīll be a good boy, I promise

No mommy donīt hit me
Why did you have to hit me like that
Donīt do it youīre hurting me
Why did you have to be such a bitch

Why donīt you
Why donīt you fuck off and die
Why canīt you just fuck off and die
Why canīt you just leave here and die

Never stick your hand in my face again bitch
Fuck you
I donīt need this shit
You stupid, sadistic, abusive fucking whore
How would you like to see how it feels mommy
Here it comes, get ready to die



5. Violence Fetish


Bring the violence
Itīs significant
To the life
If youīve ever known anyone
Bring the violence
Itīs significant
To the life, can you feel it?

How do you sleep?
When you live with your lies
Out of your mouth
Up from your mind
That kind of thinking starts a chain reaction
You are a time bomb ticking away
You need to release
What youīre feeling inside
Let out the beast
That youīre trying to hide
Step right up and be a part of the action
Get your game face on because itīs time to play

Youīre pushing and fighting your way
Youīre ripping it up

How do you live
Without playing the game
Sit on the side
And expect to keep sane
Step right up and be part of the action
Come get a piece of it before itīs too late
Take a look around
You canīt deny what you see
Weīre living in a violent society
Well my brother let me show you a better way
Now get your game face on because itīs time to play

Youīre pushing and fighting your way
Youīre ripping it up

So tell me what am I supposed to be
Another goddamn drone
Tell me what am I supposed to be
Should I leave it on the inside?
Should I get ready to play?
Youīre pushing and fighting your way



6. Fear


Reject, are you no one, feel you nothing
You know Iīll be you think you have a good
Reason to be living in the limelight
Of the fortunate ones
Youīre too weakened by the poison that they feed you
In the living lie they donīt believe you
Call to no one, trust in nothing, little impotent one

I donīt wanna be innocent, you know
I donīt want to let them hypnotize me

Punk-ass, are you listening, can you hear me
Or are you deaf and dumb
To my language, do the real words seem to hurt you?
Well put emī up motherfucker
Youīll feel it when I stamp it on your forehead
So you will never forget
That youīre a reject, and youīre no one, and youīre nothing
Little impotent one

Fear awaken
Go with it now and let it overcome you
Fear awaken
Your mind is racing

I donīt understand why donīt you like me
Why donīt you like me, am I so different from you
Now does it scare you that Iīm able to discern?
What to love and what to burn
Iīll add your fuel to the fire now
Stand back, brother take your hand back
Leave it and I might crack
More than a smile or two you see
Donīt judge what you donīt understand
You canīt deny what has been given to me



7. Numb


Bleeding now Iīm
Crying out Iīm
Falling down and Iīm
Feeling nothing like
Laughing now Iīm
Stopping now Iīm
Reaching out and Iīm
Feeling nothing

Yeah, you have created a rift with me
Thereīve been several complications
And Iīm left feeling with nothing
I might say
You were wrong to take it from me
Left me feeling nothing

Crawling now Iīm
Beaten down Iīm
Tortured now and Iīm
Feeling nothing like
Hunting now Iīm
Stalking now Iīm
Reaching out and Iīm
Killing nothing

I can feel you ripping and tearing
Feeding and growing
Inside of me
I want this more than you know
I need this
Give it back to me



8. Want


Your mind wonīt let you say that you want me
Your mind wonīt ever, never let you say what you want
You howl and wail like a banshee
Still your mind wonīt ever let you say
Your mind wonīt let you say that you want me
Your mind wonīt ever, never let you say what you want
My little tired devotee
Your mind wonīt even let you feel

Quivering now, shivering now, withering
Your mind wonīt let you say that youīre
wondering now, pondering now, hungering
Wonīt let you say that youīre
Questioning, wavering, weakening
Your mind wonīt let you say that youīre
Hearkening, listening, heeding me now
Wonīt let you say that you want

Your mind wonīt let you say that you want me
Your mind wonīt ever, never let you have what you want
I feel your hunger to taste me
Still your mind wonīt ever let you say
Your kind is just the type that should use me
But your mind wonīt seem to let you have
The opportunity to abuse me, abuse me
Your mind wonīt even let you feel

Savor the addiction,
savor the affliction, savor me
Savor her mind

Your mind wonīt let you say that you want me



9. Conflict


You are enemy
You are my hated enemy
I am enemy
Number one-rated enemy
Iīm labelled enemy
I am your mortal enemy
My actions enemy
Make me your bitter enemy

All the world around enemy
Theyīre tearing up the ground enemy
Theyīre drawn in by the sound enemy, enemy
I must eliminate my enemy

Your people enemy
My peopleīs hated enemy
What are you enemy
Though a created enemy
Terminate the enemy
Eradicate the hated enemy
I am an enemy
My very greatest enemy

You try to tell me that you love life
Then find another way to kill life

Wanting, love life
Needing, kill life
Wanting, love life
Needing, kill your
Enemy



10. Shout 2000


Shout shout
Let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
Iīm talking to you
So come on

In violent times...
You shouldnīt have to sell your soul
In black and white...
They really really ought to know
Just donīt know
Those wandering minds...
Who took you for a working whore
Kiss them goodbye...
They shouldnīt have to jump for joy
Jump jump jump jump jump

You shouldnīt have to shout for joy
Shout

They give you life...
and in return you gave them hell
As cold as ice
Not witch youīre ice, ice baby
I hope we live to tell the tale
I hope we live to shout the tale
Shout

Will you never shout
HUH
I feel as though youīre never gonna let it all out
Will you never shout?
HUH
I feel as though I know
youīre never gonna let it all out
will you never shout?
HUH
I feel as though I know youīre never gonna let it

And when youīve taken down your gaurd...
If I could change your mind...
Iīd really love to break your heart
Break break break break break

Iīd really love to shout your heart
Shout

Iīd really love to
Shout shout

Come on let me shout shout let me
Come on let me shout shout
Come on let me shout shout let me
Come on let me shout shout



11. Droppinī Plates


You said it couldnīt be done
Told me that itīs the kind of battle that just couldnīt be won, you know
Youīre too sick, too hard, too fucked in the head
Youīll never make it, no, not in this lifetime
Well guess again, my friend, donīt act surprised
We got the bass drum kick that will blow out your eyes, huh
īCause when you hear this shit, youīll get to stepping
Gonna fight the war, and use my music as a weapon

You know Iīm talking ībout
Recognition
You know Iīm talking ībout
Vindication

Another goddamn slap in the face
Donīt wanna give us a place, are you afraid
Well fear this, īcause Iīm breaking through the walls of your nightmare
Wake up, time to die
The way Iīm living there is no compromising it
Better get ready for another surprise and it
May leave a mark, because Iīm coming in fast
Planting thoughts in your mind and Dropping Plates on your ass

Well here I come Iīm Dropping Plates on your ass bitch
You never mind and you donīt need this
Well here I come Iīm Dropping Plates on your ass bitch
You never mind and you donīt need

Well on your mark here we go again
Well never mind īcause youīre not number one
Youīre too hard and from the other side
I think itīs time to bring it home again
Right to me



12. Meaning of Life


Get psycho, I wanna get psycho

Wanna get psycho
Run you little bitch
I want your power glowing, juicy flowing, red hot
Meaning of life
Itīs not enough to have a little taste
I want the whole damn thing
Now can you dig it
Need to get psycho
I want to hear you say it
Say you want it, need it
Donīt wanna wait until we finish the show
Itīs not enough, you hunger for more
Youīre the one twisted little fuck
And now you wanna get psycho with me

Decide (give in, give in, give in) decide

Wanna get psycho
Scratch my itch
Give me your power glowing, juicy flowing, red hot
Meaning of life
Itīs not enough to have a little taste
I want the whole damn thing
Now can you dig it
Need to get psycho
I want to hear you scream
Tell me to take you, scare you, fuck you
After we finish the show
Itīs not enough
You listening whore
Youīre one twisted little fuck
And now you want to get psycho with me

I can feel the blood flowing through my veins spilling on my soul
And now the hungerīs getting bigger
Come a little closer now pretentious whore and pull my trigger
Free the violence that is building in me
I say now end of the ride murder suicide is how Iīve been feeling lately
Come a little closer now pretentious whore,
Iīm reeling with a feeling that I canīt ignore
And the need to get psycho
Is not a question to me
