Line in the Sand Why'd you have to open up your mouth and ruin it? Everything you say just confirms you're full of shit. No, this isn’t just another party for your friends. Seems every new generation has to learn again. Those words aren't welcome here. Your words are welcome here. There’s a line in the sand and it’s easy to spot if you aren't too fucking cool. I came here to have fun with my friends, not to go back to middle school. Why'd you have to open up your mouth and ruin it? Everything you say just confirms you're full of shit. "Some of your best friends are what?!," here we go again. Tired of excuses, of oppressors turning victim. Those words aren't welcome here. Your words are welcome here. There’s a line in the sand and it’s easy to spot if you aren't too fucking cool. I came here to have fun with my friends, not to go back to middle school.

Numb 02:24
Numb What should be expected when it's so clear who is wrong? If we wait will we find out that someone's tipped them off? I don't want to wake to crisis every other day, But any sane solution seems so far away. We all get knocked down, baby. We try to get up. If you don't feel it sticking in your heart now, you must be numb. Some are saying that we've hurt the feelings of our masters, 'Cause we weren't buying trash during their disaster. Sick men screaming at a ceiling on collapse, While on the floor we wait for sweet relapse. We all get knocked down, baby. We try to get up. If you don't feel it sticking in your heart now, you must be numb. We all get knocked down, brother. Time to get up. They knocked us all down, sister. Time to get up.

Dead Leaves 03:30
It's that time of year When I all see is the dead leaves hanging on the trees I want to crack a smile But it's just been a while Since I've seen Anything to lift us up Anything to change my luck Give me any way out of these hopeless days The ones in charge time and again let us down Left to fend for ourselves while we're scrounging on the ground I want to build a world with you But I'm not sure what we're looking forward to Since I've seen Anything to lift us up Anything to change my luck Give me any way out of these hopeless days So here we are today Are we any closer to justice? I don't think so So here we are today On our hands and knees screaming Give us justice give us peace Give us better pay a place to lay our head An identity where I'm free to be who I choose to be Maybe we'll be happy before we're dead.

Lock Up the Kids Lock up the kids Throw away the key Prepare for the future Like we're all diseased And searching for a cure We all need more than jails and big box stores Handed down From the experts From the ones who know better than you or I How to live in our communities From their castles in the sky They got the numbers of their own making We've got to people and now were waiting for their next action We all need more than jails and big box stores

Family in Tow 33 years under that roof Raised your family paid your dues Phone call comes in the waning daylight Know that you're in for the fight of your life No never gonna go I've been walking these streets for as long As I know No never gonna go down a long road of shame with a family in tow Called up our sisters and brothers in town Came to agreement gonna shut it down Rather spend the night chained to the door Than freezing on the jailhouse floor No never gonna go I've been walking these streets for as long As I know No never gonna go down a long road of shame with a family in tow Fuck you, you take so much, from so many, and all for yourself

My Own Shit 02:15
My Own Shit Morning come to early again I'm struggling to raise my head Not sure if I was built for this I'm tearing at the seams Existence in a monotone On the road when I'm at home Lonely then it's lazy then it's guilty am I crazy I don't want to be the one who lets you down, over my own shit Head home and your fast asleep I can't bear to wake you at this hour Head is in the clouds again Need you to keep me grounded in Only things we need to be Sane happy and healthy I don't want to be the one who lets you down, over my own shit

Natural as the Rain Broken philosophy spreads across the land Convinced, you and I not to lend a helping hand. There are winners, there are losers, natural as the rain. The others did not a thing. Give me what I’ve come to claim There are rich, there are poor, natural as the rain All I’ve done is sell my soul Find someone else to blame Monotonous messages creep across the land Warning you to stay inside, or make an exit while you can There are winners there are losers, natural as the rain There are rich there are poor, natural as the rain There's the moment when the losers realize There so many more of us, So many more than them Than them
