Lyrics :
Negative I.Q :
Do you think spitting on your brother man makes you stronger ?
Do you think tough guy bullshitn you're the real thing ?
Did it make your life better ?
I'll stand for something, you'll fall for nothing, and i'll rise up From The Ashes Of Your Hate
Your hate is weakness, you hate is distress.
I see them all goin' down.
Stone Cold :
I don't want to die alone, but i guess i'll be that way
There's no use to sit and cry nor any use to pray.
Will i ever get human again ?
I've tried so hard pretending i care, playing your games of worthless love affairs.
I've been playing your games.
Forever playing your games. Will i ever get humain again ?
Obey Your Television :
Guess you can feed them with anything you please
You can broadcast propaganda to stisfy their greed
Watch that screen
It's gonna rule your life
Obey your television
You can't trust anyone, the lust for power's blind
Maybe you'll rule the earth, but you won't rule my mind
Hard Times :
I need a shoulder to lean on, and maybe cry sometimes
Nothin’ in store for us
Except the cryin at bedtime
The cryin’ at bedtime
Wipe out the tears
Wipe out the bad times
Wipe out the fears
Wipe out the hard times
Like a candle going out
Hope has faded
Like a candle going out
hope has faded
Wipe out the tears
Wipe out the bad times
Wipe out the fear
Wipe out the hard times
Devil In Me:
I’ve been spitting my hatred
Cause my life was void
And there was no one to make it worthwhile
Dashing my hopes because I couldn’t cope with the thought of being born to die
I wish I could love
I wish I could Kill
The devil in me
How can I face my fears if I can’t face myself in the mirror
Through the looking glass
I wish I could hope
I wish that I could try again
I wish I could Kill
I wish I could silence
The devil in me
I thought I had some answers
I wish I could hope
I wish that I could try again
I wish I could Kill
I wish I could silence
The devil in me
All In The Name Of Suffering :
Are you willing to suffer ?
Suffering
Has kept on hardening
The weakling I was
Day after day
I’ve been led astray
By the hatred in my soul
The hatred in my soul
All in the name of suffering
Are you ready to suffer some more ?
Are you willing to suffer some more ?
The weakling
Is in for the kill
The suffering gets worse
Day after day I’ll be makin my way
Through the blur into my soul
Are you ready to suffer some more ?
Are you willing to suffer some more ?
You Are, You Are ?
