Infowars
03:20
|
|||
Public opinion formed by hatred and lies
Where alternative facts stand supreme
The alt-media elite lay at the populist’s feet
Ready to realize their dreams
Rationality out the door
Regular truths are such a bore
No regrets for the lies they spread
Since the info-wars has gotten to their heads
With conspiratory lies they dismantle the truth
Steadily gaining more ground
With disdain for the weak, who are the prey of their views
Blind to the damage they cause

Empty Thoughts
02:04
|
|||
Living in fear
Fright leads your life
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to go
You stay put and you fight
Cause you hate the unknown
Liars spread hate
Bigotry, fear
Staring blind
At the stigmas they make
Hate for race
Fear of change
Fascist minds
Empty thoughts
Hate for race
Fear of change
Blind for the truth
Of the system they create

Machine of Madness
02:31
|
|||
I lay awake, choked by my own dreams
The clutch of psychosis tightens my thoughts
Rambling thoughts feed the night terrors
I can’t tell apart what real and what not
An unstable mind, restless in panic
The anguish keeps building, fuelled by stress
Irrational fears shroud my cognition
I can’t comprehend what has happened to me
Nightmares
Fear
Anxiety
Just cogwheels
In the machine of madness

This is what is happening since our shift to the right
4chan nazis flood the streets and are willing to fight
Fighting back would be condemned by the moral elite
Horseshoe-theory pricks of neo-liberal creed
Normalized
Justified
Bullshit public opinion made facts lose to the lies
Shaved scalp nazi boneheads make place for slick hair and ties
Spew 18th-century bullshit like its relevant philosophy
Refution makes them think you’re part of delusional conspiracies
Normalized
Justified
Don’t hold back
Fight them back

Enjoy your privilege and prejudice
As you dwell in superiority
You mistake them for entitlement
Part of cultural majority
Of course you refuse to see
When you’re part of the majority
No reason to fight, no reason to bow
When the laws are written for you
Forgetting who are left behind
In the pain your ambivalence have caused
Now change is near and panic's here.
Quick to point the finger at who you think is to blame

Moulded By Pressure
02:01
|
|||
Social pressure constantly
I can’t be who I want to be
I’ve had enough, I’m on my own
I want to be left alone
I am no friend of myself
I hate my guts, yet I scream for help
Constant pressure made me who I am
Will I fade away when I understand
Split from rationality
In my grasps at individuality
Slipped into communal hell
That taught me my how to hate myself
Gave in to my misery
I deny myself who I want to be
I tried to love me, but I can’t
The only way to change is the end by my own hands

Confirmation Bias
03:48
|
|||
The beginning of life, the ending of lives
It all boils down to the next generation
You saddle your kin, with the mess you created
Mass-produced, consumption-spirited self-mutilation
It’s time for that kin, to take a stand
And unite the burdened to overturn the old congregation
The youth seek the truth and we aim for enlightenment
Yet we keep those in charge of the class-separation
Do you think your pop-culture can change the world?
Just keep on screaming into your bubble of agreement
I don’t think these songs I write will change the world
But I’ll just keep on screaming in my bubble of agreement
Do you think your pop-culture can change the world?
Just keep on screaming into your bubble of agreement
I don’t think a thing I’ll do can change the world
Yet it helps me fool myself into thinking I matter
Revolutionary action in the age of distraction
Seems about as void as the change that we are after
At the root of the problem, confirmation bias is the core
If you demonize the class that you claim you’re fighting for

White Cop
01:42
|
|||
Police are in your neighbourhood
Run for your life, you know you should
Biased cops play hateful games
They’ll shoot to kill, you’ll take the blame
Spreading fear across the streets, where they’ll make you face concrete
The white cops are acquitted of crime
They commit crimes against inhabitants they deem to be recalcitrant
The truth is what they want it to be
Monopoly on violence? Monopoly on horseshit
They smother over colour and race
Hierarchical authority take rights to kill minorities
You’ll die if you try to
Stand up and fight for your rights
Hatred
Masked with false authority
Prejudice
In their quest for inequality

Involuntary Participants
02:10
|
|||
Given the choice between right and wrong
And you it’s bestowed upon
Did what you think was right
And chose the ‘’other side’’
Look at what we’ve chosen
Die Banalität des Bösen
You think we’ve seen the light?
And left it all behind?
You can’t tell the truth from lies
So you settle with compromise
It’s easy to enjoy the status quo
Since real change is less comfortable
Even if you’re convinced that, in fact you chose
You’re are still part of the system that you aim to oppose
Do you really think that we can do the most?
When we’re part of a system that we claim to oppose
We’re all involuntary participants
Until we aim to be dissidents
Do what you think is right
And fight either side

Silent Majority
02:58
|
|||
Giving up a little for the betterment of others
I thought of as a virtue in the fight against the struggle
But it seems that doing good, for the world or humankind
is seen as an attack on some superior state of mind
Liberty, equality, no animal abuse
Now you’re being labelled as a fascist P.C. tool
I care about the others, and I care about what’s right
Systemic injustice is the reason that we fight
We are living in a time, which is bulging from hormones
Where populistic lies are societal stepping stones
‘’saying what you want’’ turned into the greatest good
Justified oppression under guise of what we should
In the midst of the fight over total superiority
I'm being deafened by the silent majority
Nourished by the misinformed, their lies are quickly spread
No one checks discrepancies when they go head to head
Confirmation in our views is the thing we yearn the most
Disparage the others and the truth if they oppose

Als ich eine Kompanie von Soldaten sah
wurde mir so schlecht
Wie sorglos gingen sie in den Krieg
um zu sterben für nichts
Sterben für nichts
