Depression and Chain-Smoking Lyrics 2015
1. SAVE YOUR BREATH
Passing this room feel like I’m locked in a cell
Can’t find no relief there’s no escaping this hell
Save your advice and concern for someone who cares
Don’t need to be saved spare me your
Unanswered prayers
Your expectations of what you think my life should be
It’s my life and my choice you can’t decide what’s for me
Don’t waste your breath or my time don’t even bother
It goes in one ear and right out the other
Save your breath
2. NO JUSTICE NO PEACE
Rise
It’s time to take back your mind
Distort
Can’t tell the truth from the lies
The grand delusion the sleight of hand
We can’t believe our own eyes
Crimes
Played out before our eyes
THERE’S NO JUSTICE THERE’S NO PEACE
In the sights of the war machine
We become the enemy
Paranoia they force feed
NO JUSTICE
THERE’S NO PEACE
3. LIFE OF STRIFE
Trying to make something from nothing
Keeping up pace the race against time
Trying to keep my head above water
Trying to keep from going under
From going under
The blackest thoughts that won’t leave the mind
Assassins that kill the will to survive
Scars on my wrists scars on my brain
Face it or run I can’t get away from the pain
AND STILL I FIGHT
With broken hands
LIFE OF STRIFE
When will it end?
Give me back my wasted time
Lift this burden from my mind
I reach out with all my might
Bring me back into the light
Cure this pain I feel inside
Lift this burden
FROM MY MIND
Scars on my wrist scars on my brain
Face it or run I can’t get away from the pain
4. DEVIL’S DUE
Write our history in blood of generations yet to come
From the cradle to the grave innocence is stripped away
Children taught to emulate traditions of their parents hate
Gods not dead he looks away we sold our souls
Now we have to pay
The world’s fucking burning the world’s fucking dead
Time to pay the devil’s due he’s coming to collect
You can pray you won’t be saved no one’s innocent
The devil’s at your door and he’s coming to collect
Human beings being human killing one another
For race or place it’s so insane our hatred for each other
For the past the future pays Earth becomes a massive grave
Sky turns black God looks away we sold our souls
Now we have to pay
5. AMERICAN GHETTO
Needles in street gutters piles of trash on the ground
Gun shots, sirens, violence is all around
Bums on the corner, junkies, crack heads, and drunks
Hopeless and broken their eyes sunk in their skulls
AMERICAN GHETTO
Economic prison cell
Unforgiving living hell
STREETS OF LOST SOULS
Written off and left alone
To die
6. SOLDIER STORY
Tommy was born working class blood
The mid-western sky burned with the sun
At eighteen years old he went off to war
Just one of the many whose story wasn’t told
Dog tags and helmet a gun in his hand
This boy now a soldier in a foreign land
His mother’s at home her rosary in hand
Tommy please come home
They said the war was over but they couldn’t see inside
His memory still haunted by all his friends that died
Try to talk about it tell me who could understand
What it takes inside yourself to kill another man
Back from the battle but war changed his life
Lawyers took his kids and the bottle took his wife
He’d raise his Pabst no prayer for the dead
A toast to remember
a drink to forget
Tommy come home stop playing war
There’s nothing left to keep fighting for
Took everything on that foreign shore
Tommy please come home
The years had passed his war far behind
He died in his bed his sons at his side
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
One last flag to fold and metals to rust
Stories the same time and again
Young boys ship out and come home as men
No fading glory there’s just scars to mend
The story the soldier war that never ends
7. DEPRESSION & CHAIN-SMOKING
Thirty seven years of discontent it’s a wonder that I’m not dead
Staring down a gun that I point at myself as these black thoughts fill my head
Cut myself, I burn myself, hate myself, I blame myself
The person in the mirror I can’t recognize
Through these years I’m still coping
DEPRESSION & CHAIN-SMOKING
Self abuse and agony
DEPRESSION & CHAIN-SMOKING
8. OBEDIENCE
Sell out the world to the machine
The cameras eyes watch constantly
Locked in a prison they built in your mind
OBEDIENCE
All by design
This is the price that we pay
Injected into our brains
Bow to your T.V. and pray
Edit your reality
They spark frenzy through mass media
Fanning the flames of hysteria
They propagate and escalate
A new world order a new fascist state
Locked in a prison they built in your mind
OBEDIENCE
All by design
9. NOT OUR GOD, NOT OUR MASTER
The men you vote to be your Gods are devils in disguise
Manipulate the media to infiltrate the mind
The growth of global government a new satanic age
Executing liberty to turn us into slaves
What’s gained?
What’s left?
When all
Freedoms dead
Create the plague and policies and plunge us into war
To decrease the populace to crowded to control
From behind a shadows cloak dividing up the globe
A powerful minority who dominate the world
YOU ARE NOT OUR GOD
YOU ARE NOT OUR MASTER
I have no trust in anything cause nothings as it seems
Government officials are just puppets on a string
The people with the power we the people never see
Look into the shadows eyes and you will find the beast
10. LIFE OR DEATH
Nothing is easy and nothing is free
You have to fight for what you believe
A war of attrition a battle of will
It’s life or death kill or be killed
LIFE OR DEATH
11. FOR GOD & COUNTRY
For God and country for freedoms greed
For global conquest for democracy
The bullets the bombs the land of the free
Marching to war for hypocrisy
FOR GOD & COUNTRY
Die
12. STATE OF TERROR
I see the end that is coming I see the end drawing near
Can’t feed your lust for destruction a nation now crippled with fear
Control gained by the use of terror the banks own all our rights
They bought and sold Americas dream now nightmares haunt our lives
Your leader campaigns on hope; hope is the path to defeat
Continue a conquest agenda use war for the power you seek
The shadow of new world order blackens the light of the right
They bought and sold Americas dream now nightmares haunt our lives
I pledge no allegiance
I reclaim my name
I pledge no allegiance
To those
Those who brought us shame
13. WORKING CLASS SLAVE
Go to work everyday
And do a job for little pay
Cost of living starts to soar
Working hard die poor
Manual labor replaced by machines
The job you had sent overseas
Punching a clock wasting away
Become a slave for minimum wage
All the time that you give
Live to work; work to live
Break your back more and more
Working hard die poor
WORKING CLASS SLAVE
14. BUYER BEWARE
Walking through life with your eyes shut controlled by the subliminal
Morally bankrupt consumptions your God the devil foreclosed on your soul
Define your life with discounted waste no difference between want and need
Possessed by possessions status and class you side step your values for greed
BUYER BEWARE
Faceless investors build corporations expanding their monopoly
Controlling the market free enterprise sending more jobs over seas
Sucker the people to buy in the lie then orchestrate it to fall
Commercialize the values of life so life has no value at all
15. DEMOCIDE
The gears of the machine grinding
Since the dawn of man unkind
Oiled by the blood of endless war
Hiding in the shadows
A power mad elite
Financed every side in every war
Through history
DEMOCIDE
The leaders of all nations sell the lie
And the propaganda blitzkrieg
Builds prisons in our minds
The future for your children
As radioactive slaves
Work inside the camps until they’re
Bulldozed into graves
DEMOCIDE
Global domination through fascist tyranny
Government sponsored death
DEMOCIDE
Plunged with bayonets as we’re marched into their camps
Government sponsored death
DEMOCIDE
You think they care about you or me?
About our rights and prosperity
To find the truth you have to hear the lie
Globalism fascism democide
When they take your gun it will be too late
When they take your neighbor it will be too late
When they take your children it will be too late
When they take your life it will be too late
What will you say?
What will you do?
Who will be left?
When they come for you
Passing this room feel like I’m locked in a cell
Can’t find no relief there’s no escaping this hell
Save your advice and concern for someone who cares
Don’t need to be saved spare me your
Unanswered prayers
Your expectations of what you think my life should be

Don’t waste your breath or my time don’t even bother
