Pennywise

One hundred million souls have joined together
And hope for something better
A daring one shoots out a question
Why does all this work?
Cause the answers have all lost their meaning
They got us all believing
We really have a future
And who will get there first?

[Chorus]
Knocked down, stumble and you fall
Sit down, find some use for it all
No way, walk before you crawl
When will you fall?

So many hopeless lives have been forgotten
To feed it once too often
Just hoping to fundraise illusions
To rule by greater force
When we search, we find no solutions


A dream of revolution
But they find we're part of the problem
Just tell me why this works

[Chorus]

When will you fall?
(When will you fall?)

Knocked down, stumble and you fall
Sit down, find some use for it all
No way, walk before you crawl[x2]

Knocked down, stay down [x2]

(When will you fall?) [x4]

Shot down a million times
But I won't be fooled again
I need some time to figure it out
And put things on the mend
They say that time heals all
Well I hope that's true for me
Been stabbed in the back so many times
By my troubled history
Just need a reason why can't I just justify
All the pain and suffering
Yell Out in defiance
Your world's not for me
Confused on a path down a one-way street
Blind from what I can't see


I did it once before like some stupid trend
But I won't be fooled again
Blank stares from a million eyes
That are looking back at me
I sit around and ask myself
Just what the fuck they see
Am I all that you ever wanted
Do I fit your policy?
Wont be a victim of your mad disease
Or your uniformity

Within all of us is the instinct to survive
And to win at any cost
In the fight to stay alive
We fear the foreign cultures
That are different from our own
And make enemies from strangers
Who are just people we don't know
We fight amongst ourselves
We obliterate ourselves yeah yeah
And we compete until we die
Even though we don't know why
We believe in ancient lies
We compete until we die
We struggle against each other


To get things in life we need
And even more to give us the status
Which in return will help us breed
We separate ourselves by the color of our skin
And the country where we're born
And which god we believe in
And we compete until we die
We believe these ancient lies
If we could only change our minds maybe then we'd all survive

I am taking a big new look around
I was once so lost but now I am so found
A victim of circumstance
Just give me one more chance
Let me right my wrong
And I'll be moving on
They say you can't make a difference
That you can't make a change
It's a cruel cruel world
Full of hate and lies
And it's time to re-arrange
It seems to me if you take your time
And open up your eyes
The truth will come out
Like a flood of tears
Burning through your mind
Think of all the things your missing
Take a look around at what may be
Think of all the things your missing
Could be!
We can do better, better if we try
The walls that block our path
Are the stepping stones of life
Defeat is in the past
This struggle will not last
Take stock of your life
It's time to get it right
This is not the end
Time heals time and again

No answers just questions
This life defies expression
No freedom no Feelings
I'm just a human non being
Nothing left to chance
Nothing left to try
Just when I get closer
Then it's my turn to die
Just when you feel alive
Just when I get closer
I can feel it slipping away
Just when I feel better that's when
Everything starts to change
No chance to be no chance to see
What's left to say?
Just when I get closer
That's when it all slips away
This problem I'm feeling
Logic defies all reason
Can't stop it this pressure
Gets worse just when I feel better
Just when I think that
Things can change
These answers drift and slip away
Just one more chance
To release for one more day
These questions drift and slip away

This is no way to live a life
The urban planning genocide
We have no hope or civic pride
They don't care if we live or die
It's not fair when you start with nothing
Your life feels done just before it starts
We're just trying to believe in something
6th Avenue Nightmare
and our fate is set
6th Avenue Nightmare


What you see is what you get
Another Day in living hell
It's street life or a prison cell
The violence a cry for help
The cycle will repeat itself

You can see it comn' it happens everyday
Millions of people millions of faces
All lost in the fucking fray
But I'm gonna keep on tryin'
Why you people keep on dyin'?
Standing on the brink of insanity
Tell me who you wanna be
Hey the kids are losin' it
My mind you're abusin' it
They can believe what they wanna believe
Trapped in their misery
Hey it's waste of time
Hey I'm losing my mind
Count me out of your misery
I'm never givin' up cause I am free
Not gonna change just to fit your ways
Not gonna listen to the things you say
I've got my own reality


Not buying into your conformity
Not give me shit for trying
Why do people keep on dying
Standing on the brink of insanity
Tell me who you wanna be
I am free from the chains
That are holding you down
So your rules don't apply to me
Your rules don't apply to me
Trapped in your apathy
Comply now you can see
I won't fit into your conformity
We're gonna rise above

Make way for the next sensation
Factual Manipulation
Stay tuned for the next creation
Department of misinformation
Arrogance that makes you shiver
Ignorance and we deliver
If truth doesn't count fo something
I choose to believe in nothing
It's primetime for the middle class
You don't like it shove it up your ass
Fair and balanced prejury
And it's all on Fox TV
Delusion will rule day in this society
Intellectual property in bankruptcy
And you can't escape


We've been sold out we can get out
Lies sold tragedy all on your TV
Fabricated Journalism
Junk News and Jingoism
Media's our new religion
The pulpit is your television
Got news and we're comin' at ya
Network TV propaganda
Our credibility is degrading
We're patriots for Nielsen ratings

Is there a reason for all your lies?
Your hatred and deceit
Reflected in your eyes
All the things you said
All the hate you bred
It's all trapped inside your feeble head
One thing that you should know
There's strength in numbers
And we're starting to grow
Face off tempers grow short
The noose is getting tighter
And you better abort
Mayhem is our middle name we're
Getting sick and tired
Of society's game
Vengeance is ours to know
We're taking to the streets
Gonna take control
They say they won't listen to me
All these years I struggled to be free
They say they don't like my ways
Now's the time for retribution
It starts today
Stand up today last chance
Don't try to turn your back on me
Are you the keepers of all our lives?
You prey and mistreat
We wait for your demise
Dishonest path you've led
Through all the blood you've shed
Excuses that you state
Will help us seal your fate
We're getting sick and tired
Of all your lies
When the fuck will you realize
That things are destined for change
You've been fucking long enough with our brains
Now it's time to feel our pain
Your retribution it starts today

Hate breeds hate that's what they say
Ignore the noise and find a better way
But indecision clouds your mind
As the reason linger deep inside
Penance for a single day
To sit and rot or come out winning
Salutations fight to be
On the boundary lines
Of the world we live in
War, in the eyes
Deplore, masterminds
Restore, all the presence
Of the world we live in
Shine, through the sirens
Despite, thieving tyrants
Insight, roads to Highlands
In the world we live in
Terminate their right to be
Polarized lies of the fascist sleaze
Lining up the shadowed gaze
Beheaded for a shallow grave
Whoring in complacency
The gilded cries can't make you see
Landing on your dying breath
Your ignorance intact till death
Dying in the world
In the world we live in

Just too much information
Electronic Stimulation
All this media saturation
Just gives me more aggravation
Gather round your television
Micro waving our religion
Download RAM and Gigabytes
Won't let computers run my life
Wanna Disconnect
I wanna break free
I wanna cut off the umbilical
Electronic Leash
Unplug my phone
Wanna blow up my screen


Don't wanna hear all the lies
and the lines they're selling to me
I wanna break free
Got a virus I'm infected
Gonna cut off my connection
Tendrils tied up misdirection
Come and witness my defection
Data counting our destruction
Suicidal file corruption
The Revolution's Wireless

Premeditated Murder
You can have Jesus
They can have bombs
In hindsight we speak out
You praise all your wrongs
Looking out windows
And running through halls
If they cannot catch you
Then the system falls
Criticizing standout
They can see how they feel
At least it's not your son
On the killing fields
Euphemisms Breakout
At a pace giving show
The wheels of mass destruction
In your head are moving so slow
What it means you'll never know
you're beaten and its time to go
Premeditated Murder
Tyrannical Leaders
of which you're the best


Can only be happy
As the only one left
Now you're knocking on my door
Cause you killed all the rest
Oh, the self righteous wrongness
What a prophetic mess
You fail to look inside
And question what's on your mind
The lower classes get taxed
As their children cry
Death machine in motion
As the emperors dress
The seeds of mass destruction
Have been sown
So take your last breath
It's the last one you're gonna get
Another one is on your head

I'm headed for the top now
You can't bring me down
I'm searching for something
In life that can't be found
If you got the answers
Then I got the questions
Unlock the mystery
Life's too short now for mediocrity
my mind still struggles
Through strife and adversity
It's all or nothing now
It's so plain to see
I'm gonna live for me
Cause I'm doing the best I can
I'm part of the master plan
One day at a time
As the fire burns inside
The clock is ticking


Now my time is almost out
I'm getting sick and tired
Of being knocked around
Wasted days pile up with wasted lives
It's not the end for me
It's so hard to be
Trapped in a tragedy
Life is certain but death
It can set you free
It's all or nothing now
It's so plain to see
It's just the start for me

18 Soldiers five days away
Caged in silence lying awake
Ragged tirades are dead at the stake
Raging sirens but nobody pays
We got nothing but time
Overacting out in cynical times
When the rain starts coming down
The search for absolution is dry
18 fathers visit the graves
Locked in violence resigned to their fate
Fallen Idols are cracked at the base


Hollow silence alone in their place
Retaliation is blind
With underestimated losses of life
And the stains of blood are bold
And visible beneath the divide
We're caught up in it we can't forget it
Forget your losses and don't regret it

What can you believe?
And what do you tell yourself to get some sleep
The human disease
Yeah we'll believe anything to get relief
You can't wish it away
The little things that we tell
Ourselves day after day
To find some escape
And deny all the problems we don't want to face
And you know that it's true
That we're all believing
Lies
The words that we use
To define our lives
Lies
We can't face the truth
So we wear a disguise
And you can't deny
That we're all believing - lies
What's hiding under your bed?
Is it more of the stuff
You make up in your head
And do you just pretend
That you have all the answers
When nothing makes sense
Can you show me some proof?
For all the things you believe
When you don't have a clue
It's the human excuse
To buy into the stories
That sound good to you
It's only ourselves we're deceiving
You better believe it
We're all believing lies

Everything you see you always think you need
You are so crazy motivated by greed
You never take responsibility
You only waste your time when you fuck with me
All you do is take you see my hatred grows
Can't take much more I'm about to explode
You'll see a side Of me I've never shown
You'll feel pain like you've never known

oo-o-o-o-o Got enough but you want it all
oo-o-o-o-o In for greed now you're gonna fall
oo-o-o-o-o Here we come gonna ruin your day
oo-o-o-o-o Time has come It's your turn to pay

The mighty dollar is your only care
You're movin' up but you're going nowhere
You say you only want to get your share
But you still want more no you won't play fair
you'll never ever quit you won't be denied
You sit and watch your money multiply
To get what you want you'll cheat and lie
But I know - you won't be satisfied
Today is a good day for suffering

> i said Wait! Can't Believe it (2x)
Another victim another life another wasted casualty

in LA. you see it everyday on your TV on your front page

in your dark thoughts and wildest dreams can you imagine
a worse society and when I think I can pretend

I said wait can't believe (2x)
