Redundancy as corporate policy Just another hungry mouth to feed You and me with concrete feet Running up that hill that's built of greed We're signing our lives over to them each day We're losing our minds in this state of decay Licking boots before they shoot Hoping there's a better plan to execute Dig the roots of rotten fruit Punch some more holes in your parachute We're signing our lives over to them each day We're losing our minds in this state of decay We're in a state of decay woah oh We're in a state of decay woah oh We're in a state of decay woah oh We're in a state of decay woah oh oh

We forgot, yeah we forgot Less than a century we forgot the fucking lot Before our eyes we see fascism rise No cloak and dagger, no cursory disguise They blame immigrants and minorities For all the problems in society Is this 1933? Are they coming after me? We forgot, yeah we forgot Less than a century we forgot the fucking lot Before our eyes we see fascism rise No cloak and dagger, no cursory disguise They strip away our right to protest How they're making our lives such a mess Is this 1933? Are they coming after me? We forgot, yeah we forgot Less than a century we forgot the fucking lot Before our eyes we see fascism rise No cloak and dagger, no cursory disguise They are unaccountable in law Human rights are show the door Is this 1933? Are they coming after me? We forgot, yeah we forgot Less than a century we forgot the fucking lot Before our eyes we see fascism rise No cloak and dagger, no cursory disguise Undesirable, out of sight and out of mind Undesirables in their sights and out of time Is this 1933? Are they coming after me? This feels like 1933 When are they coming after me?

Hummingbird 03:24
I thought I'd seen it all, pride before a fall I'm down but I found pride impossible I'm who I shouldn't be, there's no-one else like me My mind is caged but my body's free I haven't found the place where I belong It's out there with my will to carry on The heavy shy under watchful eye Hidden, barely even recognised Those fateful words, bound to go unheard Faster than the wings of a hummingbird I haven't found the place where I belong It's out there with my will to carry on I don't know I don't know Believe the truth, mourn the wasted youth A search for indisputable proof A catapult charade, down the rainy days What is left when promise slips away? I haven't found the place where I belong It's out there with my will to carry on I haven't found the place where I belong It's out there with my will to carry on

The billionaires are happy so shouldn't we be too? Suffering is my comfort zone but I can't speak for you Let's vote to cut their taxes, let it all go to hell Who needs public healthcare when there's ibuprofen on supermarket shelves? We're all gonna die so let someone enjoy the ride If those noble truths are true we'll end up in paradise The planet's in a bad way, the rich don't seem to care We'll be suffocating while they're sucking on private air We're all gonna die so let someone enjoy the ride If those noble truths are true we'll end up in paradise This is no manifesto, it's just another punk song With elements of Buddhist philosophy and it's not very long

Lonely FUH 01:56
I'm just a lonely, fucked-up homo with a whole lotta love to give But I'm too busy looking for a good reason to live I've tried, oh I've tried but my life is one disaster to the next So I found a place to hide, dark and cold with the insects I dance with myself, my feet just kicking the air My heart stuck on a shelf, I try not to care My lips only touch the microphone My arms just hold my guitar My songs help me feel less alone I laugh and say "I are what I are" What I are, I are I'm just a lonely, fucked-up homo with a whole lotta love to give But I'm too busy looking for a good reason to live

They it won't last Pick up a stone for the coup de grace Send it with wings What's to be done with all of these things? Do we have to lose? We'll drown them in flames One day they will pay for all that they've done And shoulder the blame And we'll down them in flames A question of fate Who are we to repudiate? A sigh of relief When learning that none of us share their belief That we will lose everything We'll drown them in flames One day they will pay for all that they've done And shoulder the blame And we'll down them in flames Speak out before he come for you Shout out before they come for you Stand up before they come for you Rise up before they come for you We'll drown them in flames One day they will pay for all that they've done And shoulder the blame And we'll down them in flames We'll drown them in flames One day they will pay for all that they've done And shoulder the blame And we'll down them in flames We'll drown them in flames One day they will pay for all that they've done And shoulder the blame And we'll down them in flames

I'm looking at photographs of places I've never been I'm picturing happiness with a face that's in my dreams But I know that's not meant for me In another life I'll be quite content To play the hand I'm dealt Vault the obstacles One by one I loot from my heroes in a bid to approximate But my mind, it keeps stealing my time and now it's far too late But I know that's the way it's meant to be In another life I'll be quite content To play the hand I'm dealt Vault the obstacles One by one When will I just give up trying? When will I just give up trying? When will I just give up trying? When will I give up?
