OBCT :: Nothing Beats Total Control :: Lyrics
1. Freedom Prison
Welcome to freedom prison.
It's our new way. It's our new way.
Captured for your own safety.
It's our new way. It's our new way.
The recipe for a fascist democracy.
Concurrent calamity with a fear of reality.
Barrage the mind with images of the lie.
We're stuck with the fuck who ran us up on the rocks.
He shit in our hands and bust off the locks.
Ever since we swallowed the hook.
There is no hope to rewrite the book.
We're represented by a remote control man.
Diodes on his back a hand up his ass.
Leading us to his end. Leaving us behind to fend for ourselves.
There is no hope for me. To hold my head high.
I am so ashamed to be one and the same.
Tell me once again how you try to make truth of your lies.
Damning everyone to hell for your objective.
I am stroking my pistol. hoping i do not miss you.
It's my chance to rewind. Everything.
I am the enemy. You're just like me.
I am so afraid. You're just the same.
2. Snake Eyes
Red eyed pugilist with a metal fist.
Devour the afterbirth leave no trace of it.
It's hard to manage subtly and discretion
when your punctuation comes from the muzzle of a Smith and Wesson.
Every time he rolls the dice it's been coming up snake eyes.
Firing blanks into the unblinking eye.
All you taste is mud my child.
Blade in hand concealed sympathies.
Hold still. Open up to me.
You're not cutting to set me free.
You're just cutting to see me bleed.
It's a sly future. Content to descend.
Remove yourself. Reject intent.
I'm not an elitist. I'm a defeated jesus.
Overslept my resurrection and skipped my confession.
3. Submerged
Let the fucking city drown. It's not your home town.
Watch it all get swallowed down.
On every channel as they stand around.
Signing off on dropping bombs. She's not your Mom.
Watch it all go full control.
Police state before you know.
Not in my name. How could you expect I would feel the same?
As ravenous and uncontrollable as the one's who stop the reigns.
Cutting us off. Back as far as possible.
It's not just probable. Because it's undeniable.
War without a limit.
Stark measures of repression.
Those who signed their name are calling us to resist.
The overall direction imposes the great danger.
There is nothing to fear but.
No belief. That does it.
You cannot run from it.
It has all been built in.
Working. Since it worked then.
Not In our name. Not in my name.
There's nothing to fear but these words that you hear.
Threats are not bombs. Free from coercion.
Detain the prosecuted. Valuing the descent.
Understand the value of the exchange.
People of conscience accept the responsibility.
All oppose the injustice loosed on the world by the
Bush administration...
4. Pull the Plug
There is very little left. After we've broken the seal.
It just keeps on pouring out. Fills the void we can't conceal.
Turning all the green to brown. We'll forget what beauty was.
Slide your filth under the ground. Bury yourself. In. Shit.
The earth weeps for us.
It sees our horizon.
It knows our path.
There's always a chance for redemption
but I fear our inaction.
We'll soon be deceased.
Distant memories for surviving life
and what we leave behind.
Endless guilt and shame
stacked to the heavens.
Choked out by the smoke
of our burning hope.
Skyline belching smoke. Past that last resort.
Waters choked with filth. Past that last resort. |
After we pulled the plug. It's like we just gave up.
The absence of will. It's like we just gave up.
The sun knows our mistake.
It sees the changing winds.
It's watching us burn out.
It's like we've never been.
It's so obvious to everyone but us.
I guess you need a longer perspective.
Time makes it's escape in each passing day.
Recognition failed.
Whispers on the air.
Answers that don't make sense.
Facts that don't add up.
The endless escalation of a spectacular fraud.
Brides die on the altar.
Churning up flesh.
Making us regret.
All of it.
Beside hell on earth realized.
Seconds past the time of relevance.
Of life.
Who pulled the plug?
