Poison in our water
Cancer in your breast
Planet getting hotter
The dozers never rest
We chain ourselves to fences
Build a barricade
We're fighting from the trenches
Til the cops drag us away
Machines have no spirit
No passion nor life
But we have a spirit
A fire in our eyes
They jail my warrior comrades
As soil turns to sand
This is mortal combat
We'll die without our land
Every forest bulldozed
Is money in their banks
We monkey-wrench the backhoes
Dump sugar in the tanks
Machines have no spirit
No passion nor life
But we have a spirit
A fire in our eyes
Machine Culture violence
Steam-rolling defiance
We will not be silenced
Machines have no spirit
No passion nor life
But we have a spirit
A fire in our eyes

Who Gives A Fuck?

Who gives a fuck if you just don't come home?
Another hate crime statistic lying in the road
Who gives a fuck if you die alone?
Who gives a fuck?
Who gives a fuck what you're going through?
Alone in the dark in an empty room
Who gives a fuck what happens to you?
Who gives a fuck?
I do... I give a fuck about you
I do... I give a fuck about you
Who gives a fuck if you're in the ground?
The dirt on your casket weighs 2000 lbs
Who gives a fuck when you're not around?
Who gives a fuck?
I do... I give a fuck about you
I do... I give a fuck about you
I do... I give a fuck about you
I do... I give a fuck about you

I don't want to win
If someone else must lose
No one should have to choose
But we all do.
I don't want to win
If someone else must lose
No one should ever have to choose
But we all do.

Andrea (demo)
02:07
|
|||
|
Hobbling homeward over the ice
Soft snow crunches under crutches
One silent stranger passes her by
Keeps his gaze low, he doesn't want to know that
Andrea is lonely
At home that evening, the table's been cleared
She dons her nightgown, sets the cake down
One flaming candle for each lonely year
Hot wax dripping, hot tears slipping
Andrea is lonely
Andrea is lonely
Andrea, I love you
Andrea, I love you
Andrea, I love you
Andrea, I love you

Under umbrellas from the sun,
We wait for a winter that never comes.
Smiling, we turn into dust.
Send the box to my door
I'll go quietly
We've been sung to sleep
By our lung machine
The Earth will revive after our rule
Grinding our bones into fossil fuel
Machine nations rise
As our mother dies
Smiling, we turn into dust
Acid rains down from sullen skies
The preacher is humming and closing our eyes
Smiling, we turn into dust

Perfect Silence
01:49
|
|||
|
I miss the quiet we once shared
All of the words that weren't there
We'd watch them floating on the air
In perfect silence
I couldn't let you see this wound
Despite how much I wanted to
But you could see it bleeding through
The perfect silence
Will I ever speak this truth?
All of the words I have for you...
I know you hear them bleeding through
Our perfect silence
