Lookout 02:08
I've pitched my tent, spent my days looking out to sea Keep one fire burning one waiting patiently Me and my pal, and one thousand just like us Spread along the coast in our makeshifts lighthouse These days go on, the fog rolling out to sea A telescope a pack of smokes we wait patiently Until one day the fog rolls in with the tide Bringing with it a silouette and a shock to the eyes Light the fire let's make a move Forget the smokes the telescopes forget the food We got to go warn others of what's in store We got to go it's time for war Now I know kinda how you felt Impending doom looms off the continental shelf Still one hundred miles away Go to scream but you can't even say Light the fire let's make a move Forget the smokes the telescopes forget the food We got to go warn others of what's in store We got to go it's time for war

Two Weeks 02:11
I get out of my day, like every fucking bed Witha ringing dislexic pounding in my head A rotting gut ache insomnia can't fight Funny thing is, I didn't drink last night So long, it's been fun, it's also been a while since I've seen the sun I don't need you derpy derp derp derp, I've got more than one HERE'S MY TWO WEEKS That's too bad HERE'S MY TWO WEEKS This makes me sad HERE'S MY TWO WEEKS I knew this would not last HERE'S MY TWO WEEKS SHOVE EM UP YOUR ASS We did everything you said and every goddamned thing you asked Never questioned any of it But considering our past never thought, we'd just give in never thought we'd just give up, oh fuck no we stick it out throught thick and thin and thin and back again we all go So long, it's been fun, it's also been a while since I've seen the sun I don't need you derpy derp derp derp, I've got more than one

I get up every single fucking day, the words change but the thoughts remain the same. The gun's loaded and the trigger's cocked, but I can't get my eye ont he scope to make my shot. Living my life won't keep me sane, I need to occupy my brain. I go out every single fucking night, but I can't seem to find the strength to return a smile. I go home and rest my head and return to the everyday routine I've come to dread.

Duggle Black 02:55
Minature conversations about the sun and rain Make for splitting head aches and peircing ear rings I can't imagine why you'd ask me again Another day for me is just another fifty cents I can't imagine, raising a family On a salary not big enough for me But I guess this is all they'll know Pennyless, pension-less Can't afford a home One big two tiered pension club and not a single word about the future of tempoary part time work Just some bullshit nonsense to distract this ageing lot from their future conditions and of the past they fought I can't imagine, raising a family On a salary not big enough for me But I guess this is all they'll know Pennyless, pension-less Can't afford a home

Eating lies like pigs from a trough You sit at your desk while you bitch and you scoff You'll never get it you'll never know About the man who works his skin to the bone On strike in '45, had to walk off the job to keep me alive Stay on your side and I'll stay on mine I'll fight to the death before crossing the line

Lie awake at the sound of the bell This regimented shuffle's got me down A murderer breathing down my neck KEPT IN CHECK by his ankle noose Our beloved lock step Up at dawn, revelry, the prison around me differs from my dreams Only in the most subtle subtleties, never mind these walls I'm heading over seas I've never been one for lines, I've never been one for sand I never once thought that killing another, would ever make you a man BUT HERE I AM And what the kings says goes Our wives and daughters know That when the king says go WHEN THE KINGS SAYS GO We'll be the first to know Far from home in a foreign hell No witches brew, no concocted spell Could take away these anxieties So far from home, so far from ease Bombs dropping over head, stuck in a trench tucked into bed Can't decipher Can't comprehend the reasons for being here to defend A freedom so obvious, a freedom so good and pure A freedom that's easier to export while at home remains so obscure And what the king says goes Our wives and daughters know That when the king says go WHEN THE KING SAYS GO WE GO

In & Out 02:21
In & out, and up and down, and back and forth all day Move this here and place that there, that's how we earn our pay In & out and up and down and back and forth i pray To see the day we run this place on our own and our own way We run the world Why not run our lives We temps we need to make a stand ORGANIZE We run the world Why not run our lives We temps we need to make a stand START OUR LIVES

FJH 03:40
What have we here, a chance to get along Forget your fears, togeather we are strong These lines they were drawn by the powers that be And some dumb fools they follow them so blindly United all of us could potentially Rid our world of the hate that divides us We are young, they are old And so I've been told all we have to do is out live them But if we fail, In our salvation It's cuz of too mant lives without purpose or dedication This was a joke, played on the poor To divide and conquer Let's do away, with the fear and hate save each other

I'm no volunteer and I don't get paid My only raise is a passing grade Strip mined my mind for everything they need So many options none for me Stick it out, stick it out You'll get by Stick it out, stick it out Just pass the time It don't take much to climb this ladder Stick with the other for the better CAN'T KEEP UP? That's too bad Off pace off time off track from your comrades Stick it out, stick it out You'll get by Stick it out, stick it out Just pass the time Because the world's beautiful outside of factory walls Life gets better when you're freed from the halls Time to stretch your legs after years of crawling on the floor NO MORE NO MORE I'm running out the door If there's one thing you take away Practice patience learn to wait Over production assembled fine Be the next to jump in line Stick it out, stick it out You'll get by Stick it out, stick it out Just pass the time Because the world's beautiful outside of factory walls Life gets better when you're freed from the halls Time to stretch your legs after years of crawling on the floor NO MORE NO MORE I'm running out the door

Night Shifts 02:42
Punch in punch out, I'd rather punch the clock Friday comes and I get to stop I get a breath of life for just two days Then it's back to slaving my nights away I never see my family The nocturnal life is not for me They tell me I should have to fears But they're taking away my golden years My days pass me by You say that I'm lazy But I've put in my night shifts Their eyes they burn right through my back They're watching to see if I crack I wipe my brow from the rising heat Soon enough I'm on the street FLY RIGHT STRAIGHTEN UP Your open mind had best be shut Break your back and then we'll see If we compensate your misery Our days pass us by you say that we're lazy But we've put in our night shifts
12.
My life was a footnote in time, so many friends I never knew I had. Six feet down, now it's my time to shine. Look down your nose with a crooked smile, and fill your eyes with pure denial. Open your mouth and reassure, recall the days that never were. You've talked your shit, you've had your fun. Now I'm a saint, because my days are done. My life was completely off time, the ravaging of age that drew these lines. Separate, serve that's a divide. Six fee down, now it's my time to shine.
