Pennywise Album

Time has changed
What's going wrong?
You can only regress as time marches on

Down with the system
Enough of the lies
You can only realize if you open up your eyes

I don't know if we're ever going to see
Tell me what's gone wrong with society
Got no future
This is no life for me

And I don't know just what went wrong
All that I know - it's gone on too long
Got no future
There is no life for me
Not for me

Look ahead
What is our fate?
To make the same mistakes that we made yesterday

Or do we try to save ourselves
Or sit back and laugh as it all goes to hell?

Land of the free and we're united, make our destiny, we take control,
yeah, never divided, we got the power and we'll never be, divided we fall,
oh yeah, land of the free, free to conspire, control destiny,
oh yeah, you're gonna see, no use resistin',
you're livin' in the land of the free, free to control your life,
land of the free, free to control your mind, land of the free?
Land of the free, united nations of hypocrisy, profit's our goal,
we're incorporated, it's big business and oil companies controlling us all,
oh yeah, land of the free, free to conspire, control destiny,
oh yeah, you're gonna see, no use resistin',
you're livin' in the land of the free, free to control your life,
land of the free, free to control your mind, land of the free?

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of hypocrisy
and to the republic for which it stands, one nation,
without liberty and justice for all

Land of the free, free to control your life, land of the free,
free to control your mind, land of the free, land of the free,
free to control your life, land of the free, free to control your mind,
land of the free?

Yeah, right

Hatred from your closed mind nothing you think is gonna change
Your actions speak so loud you've got to try a different way
We live together we're worlds apart down on the streets
Because we're too proud no one will ever admit defeat

The world is a smoking gun and it's loaded
And soon it's gonna blow you away
Up till now nobody has noticed
But we're going to have our day

Where do we draw the line nobody seems to have clue
We're at each other's throats cause we don't share a point of view
So what's the problem can't see beneath the shade of skin
A vicious circle a human race no one can win

The world is a smoking gun and it's loaded
And soon it's gonna blow you away
Up till now nobody has noticed
But we're going to have our day

It's just a state of mind it's not reality
It's all psychosomatic static inhumanity
A savage mental sickness that plagues the human
Race and it's going to blow up in your face

The world is a smoking gun and it's loaded
And soon it's gonna blow you away
Up till now nobody has noticed
But we're going to have our day

The world is a smoking gun and it's loaded
And soon it's gonna blow you away
Up till now nobody has noticed
But we're going to have our day

Someday you gotta find another way
You better right your mind and live by what you say
Today is just another day
Unless you set your sights and try to find a way

I say fuck authority
Silent majority
Raised by the system
Now it's time to rise against them
We're sick of your treason
Sick of your lies
Fuck no we won't listen
We're gonna open your eyes

Frustration, domination
Feel the rage of a new generation
We're living we're dying and we're
Never ever gonna stop, stop trying

You know the time is right to take control
We got to take offense against the status quo
No way not gonna stand for it today
Fight for your rights it's time we had our say!

I say fuck authority
Silent majority
Raised by the system
Now it's time to rise against them
we're sick of your treason
Sick of your lies
Fuck no we won't listen
We're gonna open your eyes!

Frustration, domination
Feel the rage of a new generation
We're living, we're dying
We're sick and tired of relentless lying
Destroy, enjoy, your fuckin world is our new toy
Dominate, eliminate, You're gonna feel the wrath , wrath of hate

Fuck authority!
Silent majority!
Raised by the system
Now it's time to rise against them!
We're sick of your treason
Sick of your lies!
Fuck no we won't listen
We're gonna open your eyes!

Frustration, domination
Feel the rage of a new generation
We're living we're dying and we're
Never ever gonna stop, stop trying
(stop trying!)

I'd like to encourage you to believe the things I do
Fact is something's wrong inside of me
At times I find it hard to see what I really want to be
And that's when something snaps inside of me
I was once just like you
Born without a fucking clue
And now I live my life to be free
Live your life Jesus Christ
Trouble in paradise
Mom and dad they're not too proud of me

They're not too proud of me
They're not too proud of me
I'm never gonna be it's so plain to see
You are not like me

Look at what you've done to me a product of society
Confusion on your face is plain to see
I can't stand your attitude think I'm lost think I'm rude
Your opinion's invalid to me
You don't like my tatoos how does this dishonor you
Don't you know what's inside of me
Sick and tired of all the lies when will you realize
I'm proud just being me

Yeah yeah I can't believe
Hopeless indecision's got a hold of me
Yeah yeah it's plain to see
I'm a product of society
There's something wrong with me
There's something wrong with me
Never gonna be what you wanna be
You are not like me

Well it comes as no surprise don't you realize
You cant back up deceit with more sad alibis
Cause you never are to blame driving you insane
Cause when your words are gone the damage still remains

You don't wanna believe that you're human just like me
I'm not the enemy (by blaming me you gain control)
You're just like me (you want a scapegoat for your crimes)
I'm not the enemy

It seems impossible to me a tragic comedy
That I'm the villain in your twisted fantasy
But to me its not a game driving me insane
We're all just victims in your sinister charade

People on the street
They want to find a god they'll never know
Organized religion pulls the blinds
Then they pull the wool
They open up your head
They're fucking with your mind
Now you can't see because you're blind

You try to make amends
But your head's still spinning round
The church of Jesus Christ
Says it's time don't fuck around
You want to go to heaven
You see it isn't free
Give your money up to me

My God
Is not the one that you wanna see
Your God
Is a mirage, a conspiracy
You pray
For forgivenenss 'cause you're sinning
Scared to death
So your money you'll be giving

Holier than thou
With your one-way morality
I think your shallow faith
Isn't based in reality
You don't like how we're living
We're sinful and obcene
Why are you judging me?

You're richer than god
But you're crying out for more
You're living like a king
While you steal from the poor
You wanna be forgiven
Get on your knees and pray
Send in your cash and be saved

Better hope you've been chosen to be saved
'Cause your empathy only goes so far today
Pay no mind to those in pain
They just want the souls that are willing to pay their way
Your god's not for me

Feels great when you get the runaround
Life you led was full of lies
Too late when you start to look around
All you find is wasted lives
Do you want to obliterate some things you don't understand
Since you want to succumb to fate
Watch the world slip through your hands

You get the feeling that its never gonna change
It doesn't mean a thing your life's not gonna end
It will be OK don't say goodbye my friend
Cause it doesn't mean a thing a simple twist of fate
No it doesn't mean a thing you start to get the feeling
That it's never gonna end it doesn't mean a thing

You hate when you start to think about
Things in life that could have been
Too late its not gonna turnaround
Can't escape the mess your in
Do you wish there was a way to stop the fickle hand of fate
Or do you give in to the urge and kill the very thing you hate

You get the feeling that its never gonna change
It doesn't mean a thing your life's not gonna end
It will be OK don't say goodbye my friend
Cause it doesn't mean a thing a simple twist of fate
No it doesn't mean a thing you start to get the feeling
That it's never gonna end it doesn't mean a thing

I've heard it all before
Could hear it all a thousand times more
Playing with me all the time
No one feels the same
And sanity is all a game
Locked up deep inside my mind

Hey die - you want an alibi
Hey quit - you want to get a fix
Hey try - you'll never make it tonight
You can feel it deep inside

All of the illusions for myself
What if I try to make amends for someone else
What if I try to change the way I'm feeling deep inside
What if I died filled with sorrow wanting another try

No one can face the truth
Was there nothing more that you could do
What would you do different next time
Keep turning from the past
The future's coming much to fast
Or is it all in my mind

Hey die - you want an alibi
Hey quit - you want to get a fix
Hey try - you'll never make it tonight
You can feel it deep inside

All of the illusions for myself
What if I try to make amends for someone else
What if I try to change the way I'm feeling deep inside
What if I died filled with sorrow wanting another try
wanting another try
wanting another try
wanting another try

Hey die - you want an alibi
Hey quit - you want to get a fix
Hey try - you'll never make it tonight

wanting another try
hey die wanting another try
hey quit wanting another try
hey try wanting another try to get it right

I see things happening they fall before my eyes
Pretend I'm blind like I could never see the heartache
That's not mine and fills my head can I just laugh away
The sights that tear my soul and make me sick
No I could never be so cold to look away

Is it so wrong to want to make a difference?
I'd like to think there's no excuse
Is it a crime to want things better for yourself?
How you wanna live is up to you

Wish I could be like you indifferent to it all like life's a joke
Sarcastic cynical like everything's o.k.
But it just won't work
In life you have to choose to stay at home and hide
Or stand up and fight if caring's my offense
Then I proudly stand accused so how about you

Life is a lesson you can only learn for free
And time keeps on slippin' like a faded memory
I got the answers staring right in front of me
Time here's my soul

Set me free
I stand about face my mission
You don't know what you've been missing

There is a reason for all that comes to be
My troubled life riddled with dark insanities
I need solutions to the pain that surrounds
Time here's my soul

You don't need divine intervention
For all the things that you never can face
You don't need good intentions
Cause in the end it is all just a waste
We all need an endless vacation
From all the problems the world can provide
We just need reconciliation
To repair what is wrong in our lives

I can't face the day
Don't want to try I want to waste away till I'm lost
Save me from all the chaos I'll radiate till I'm gone
So wait, wait, so many things that you'll never break away
Wait, wait save your answers
There's nothing when you're gone from here

It's only another day wasted
That's replayed in the back of your mind
A snapshot that you suffocated
Among the shadows and little white lies
You don't need a crude benediction
A pale savior you can sacrifice
You just need a new definition
When you're feeling alone in the night

You can't face the day
Don't want to try I want to waste away till I'm lost
Save me from all the chaos I'll radiate till I'm gone
So wait, wait, so many things that you'll never break away
Wait, wait save your answers
There's nothing when you're gone from here

WHOOOOOOAAAA!!

I have a vision of many things to come
A way to erase mistakes that have previously been done
And a time where man meets man without a glare but with a smile
Stop brooding on old things taste new ones for awhiiiiiiile

Chorus:
Until we try how will we knooooooooow?
How will we know until we tryyyyyyyyy?
So let's say we give it a go!
To find the world that we're looking for!
that we're looking foooooooor
To find the world that we're looking for!
that we're looking fooooooooor

Say find the children grow to be what they wanna be
Point them in the right direction to build their own reality
Lies and deception they can't tell what is real
walk with your feelings then "SHOUT!" how you feeeel

Chorus:
Until we try how will we knooooooooow?
How will we know until we tryyyyyyyyy?
So let's say we give it a go!
To find the world that we're looking for!
that we're looking for
To find the world that we're looking for!
that we're looking fooooooooor

(Instrumental)

Dig my Utopia flavor Euphoria all hands raised
"Hallelujah" sing a little Gloria cause
What is good? What is right? Who the f**k decides?
The places I see are through an individuals ey-y-es

Chorus:
Until we try how will we knooooooooow?
How will we know until we tryyyyyyyyy?
So let's say we give it a go!
to find the world that we're looking for!
that we're looking foooooooor
to find the world that we're LOOKING FOR!
that we're looking fooooor! AAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Down below beneath a burning hot sun
Out civility's waking up
Hate your neighbor 'cause he's not your kind
Fell out of favor, now he's out of luck

Get in your car, fuel up and get a job
You got no worries, you don't care that much
Pass the beggars as they lie out on the street
Just look away and roll your windows up

You don't have to worry
He's not one of us
Yeah

Is there anyone listening
To this beautiful tragedy
Is there anyone watching
This wonderful nightmare

Don't care much, you'd rather kill

Check out Johnny as he plays out on the street
Keeps to himself, he doesn't say too much
Can't get along with the kids in school
Likes to make bombs and blow things up

His mom and dad think everything's fine
They got no worries, they don't care that much
All that tension bottled up inside
One day soon now he's gonna erupt
