WHAT IS REAL. People living for today, minds are warped it's how they think/ Keep pushing straight ahead to go back the other way/ Hard times are here to stay but you can take it anyway because you're laughing all the way to the bank/ No rhythm nor no rhyme, head left the body back in time/ Evidently far behind, reasons why cannot define/ Broken mold, piss pot of gold/ Out with the new and in with old/ Follow trend you're the first in line/ So get in line/ I'll draw the line/ Hey there this is what I see, a decline in society/ Look at everybody throwing out morality/ This is how it is to be, undermine integrity/ What you want not what you need/ Hey now checking out the deal, gonna tell you what is real/ It's nothing you can touch but it's something you can feel/ Rather more like peace of mind/ It is this you'll never find/ Has no value in our time/ Not in our time/ No wasting mine/ Know, the new breed is cold/ Bought into sex and gold/ Can't take it when you go/ Soon we all grow old/ Break down and get slow/ Nothing left but your soul/ It's no good when it's sold/ Hear me this is what I said and I'll say it once again/ So sad that you can't take it with you once that you are dead/ Listen to what I have said as you're laying on your bed/ On the way to taking your last breath

MINE TO TAKE. Aversion, against the grain/ A new order but nothing has changed/ Division comes from within/ Patience is wearing thin/ Learn how to bend but not break/ Mine not to give but to take/ To be passive is weakness, incompleteness/ Outspoken, so be it/ Content, hear this/ My inner self is reassured/ Got what it takes strength to endure/ Once finely tuned, no coming clean/ Rust in the grooves of this machine/ Speaking without a sound/ Move forward turning around/ Resistance of fragile minds/ Self-righteous, leave you behind/ Mine not to give but to take/ Choices there for you to make/ You spineless weakling/ With head stomped, bleeding/ Contempt, so be it/ Content, feel this/ The inner self that you've employed/ False innocence can't be ignored/ Keep distant from confrontation/ What has become, what's done is done

EUPHEMISM. Bite down on tongue/ Keep what you feel inside/ Truth hides between the lines/ Hold tight on lip/ Get a grip/ Self-control, inclined to let it slip/ Prudish phrase delays the game/ Words seasoned when spoken/ Phobia, mere perception/ Use of euphemism/ Blinded by this confusion/ Adopted the need to pacify/ Contradicting/ Sick of this correcting speech to satisfy/ Too many hearts are bleeding/ Impeding meaning of what is said/ It's only an opinion/ I'll form my own instead

WAR COUNSEL. We got him. Tyrant of aggression / A tired, troubled soul / Liberate a nation / When we take you from your throne / Violence and hatred have brought U.S. here / The desert, harvester of prophecy / Vengeance now for 9-1-1 / We have the strength you best believe / Doubt has cast a shadow / Put diplomacy to waste / Relinquishing the power / Old régime to be replaced / Vengeance now for 9-1-1 / We have the strength you best believe / Hey old man don't try and tell me what you think is wrong with my life / Hey old man don't try and sell me on what you may think is wrong or right / Hey old man don't try to tell me that the blood is not on your mind / Hey old man don't try and bluff me and I think we'll get along just fine....yeah right! / Vengeance now for 911 / We have the strength you best believe

PLASTIC FACE. It's in your mind/ Open your head and look deep inside/ A one-track mind to eulogize/ Judge with the eye just what's outside/ Mirror, more than reflection/ Status based on complexion/ Outside/ No inside/ Just outside/ Now seek to replace/ Breathing new life/ Wear plastic face/ Use the parts brand new/ Used, hold on to youth/ Aged, years pass you by/ Losing a step, no wings to fly/ To realize then redefine/ An empty shell broken in time/ Beauty is science/ Skin deep appliance/ Look in the mirror
