Conscription 01:05
You've got no choice. Why is it so hard to see that our wages are slavery? Give us a vote and tell us we're free. Please our masters and pick our king. You've been conscribed to protect someone else’s rights. The power they exploit to leave your soul destroyed. And when your knees begin to shake and buckle under the weight, The only hand that will extend your way will be a finger pointed on judgement day. And it will say "It's all your fault." It's all my fault? I can't keep up.

Walking on pins and needles, Hands cuffed behind my back. Wishing this force was lethal, But I could get used to burlap sacks. I've been forced into a stress position. I can't see, I can't breathe, But it's really not so bad. In a constant state of agitation, But it's not bad enough to change my situation. I've been forced into a stress position. I can't see, I can't breathe, But it's really not so bad. When is enough enough? When will we strike back? They kick our hive because we've got no sting, All excuses, no attack. The threat is dead, we've lost the will to act.

I don’t think you were talking to me, But I get caught up in that violent speech. I romanticize the Self Defense Party, But in their eyes I am the enemy. I keep thinking, “Wouldn’t it be fun to have a gang, a party, a club with guns?” But every group exploits someone. Why can’t you have a one man revolution? None of us are truly free til we protect the minority. To change the world you must start within. True reform won’t come from violence. We must be slow to judge and swift to sympathize. If we help our neighbors, we’ll have better lives. I keep thinking, “Wouldn’t it be fun to have a gang, a party, a club with guns?” But every group exploits someone, So let’s have a one man revolution. It’s not about race, or religion, Or creed, or gang affiliation. Its time each of us had our own one man revolution. This is your chance to look within, And have your own one man revolution. This is your chance to live and die by the ethics that you know are right. One man revolution.

It’s so easy to say that I would die for you, Because I know I’ll probably never have to. These empty words, they don’t mean much. We’ll say anything to feel human touch. You say you’d die for you friends, But you’re just sick of living. You don’t have the will to give up something real, So you make a promise you’ll never fulfill. What would you go through To better yourself and pitch in tomorrow, Instead of waiting in line, wasting your life, For your chance to become a human sacrifice? It’s so easy to say that I would die for you, Because I know I’ll probably never have to. These empty words, they don’t mean much. We’ll say anything to feel human touch. You say you’d die for you friends,Cause it’s easier than living. You don’t have the will to give up something real,So you make a promise you’ll never fulfill. What would you give up,If you had to face tomorrow without it?If the consequence was real,Would you waste your breath?I doubt it. My food, my bed, and the boots on my feet.The jacket on my back, and a good night’s sleep.Every ounce of my strength, any amount of my time.Every dollar I have down to my last dime.Whatever I’ve got it’s yours.You’ve always shown me open doors.And if you find yourself in need,I’ll find a way to make rocks bleed.

Overstand 01:43
Oh no, you’re uncomfortable, You’ve been faced with a tough decision. What will you do? What would Jesus do? You’re looking at yourself and you don’t know who is who. It’s the first time you’ve been face to face With the reflections of your mistakes. The only thing that’s stopping you from doing what you want to do is you. If you could see that you’re asleep, That your body is strong but your soul is weak, You could unite the I’s and become one man, Wake up and start to overstand. Oh no, you’re uncomfortable, But today’s pain is how you reach your goals. We all suffer, just part of life. We find meaning in pain and strife. Our purpose here is not happiness, We must beat our fears and fill the emptiness. Wake up, you can see the light, Shake the feeling that you’re wasting your life. If you could see that you’re asleep, That your body is strong but your soul is weak, You could unite the I’s and become one man, Wake up and start to overstand.
