American Personality
Words: Thompson
Each day is getting so miserable,
The light at the end of the tunnel
Is becoming more visible
Sell my life by the hour
Need more power
Need more possessions
Of my obsessions,
I never learn my lesson
All the things you see around me
Make me happy only when
You're there to envy it
Empty - Hollow - Wreck of a shell
Sell my life by the hour
Need to strive to succeed
in my pointlessness
Wish for something more that
I can't pursue
Cause I sold my sold from nine to five
I am who I am thanks to Uncle Sam
I wasted my youth
to show my intellect
But I got this cool piece of paper
says I've been taught to obey!
So many choices to choose
With my social status to loose
Sell my mind by the hour
to an alien corporate power
I must fit in...
I must fit in...
Corporate sin..
We are who we are
due to where we live?
Government lies
Government lies
Rest in peace?
Well that's a lie
Eternal damnation
due to our nation
...God bless America...
Pray to a god pure in heart
Pray to a god the color green
Sacred money is heavenly
This god's not expendable
Make it proud
Make it proud
American Personality
This life's for you
Not me...

BORN DEAD
Lyrics: Thompson
Smiles of innocence / lies hidden in your eyes / some people need to lie / others need to die / So, why cry? / When nothing goes your way... / Another lie, Another Day / So you hate yourself? / Well you should / Believe the empty promises / No Remorse / Just a little white lie to help pass the time / Another veil of hidden truths trapped behind that smile / Everything so PERFECT / What could be better? / HOW ABOUT THE TRUTH!?! / Stories of long ago... / with people I don't know / What's so great about lying to yourself? / "Well the truth hurts so much, So now I'm numb" but that's a lie / Tormented at birth / real life is so sad / you try to make everyone glad... / Or so you thought / Believe the empty promises / No Remorse, Just a little white lie to help pass the time.../ MISERY CATCHES UP / SO DO YOUR LIES / I HEAR YOUR CRIES / Is all this really worth someone else's opinion? / The Tears in your eyes confirm all of the lies / As I hear you say... I was born dead... / "I'm so lonely & scarred / I lie so much I fear myself / I feel empty inside / Wasted my life for these lies! / Do you hear my cries? / I feel as though I was Born Dead! / " With that a noise lights up the street... / Well one more dead... / Face the truth / don't run from your lies / So, you won't have to compromise with your life... / Believe the empty promises / no remorse / just a little white lie to help pass the time... / I was Born Dead... / Smiles of Innocence lies hidden in your eyes... / Some people need to lie / others need to die / So why cry? / When nothing goes your way... / ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER LIE! / SO YOU HATE YOURSELF? / WELL YOU SHOULD! / ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER LIE!!! / I WAS BORN DEAD!!!

ZERO
Words: Thompson
Think of a number you cannot count
Pray to a god you cannot see
Your absence of faith
Like that of a number
See them just as they are
Another digit on you're security card
Guided by our failure to think;
By our Shepard
straight to the butcher
Scared & confused
Unwilling to think we die...
I am just a number you cannot see
You're absence of faith created me
I am hollow on the inside
solid on the outside
I am zero...zero...zero...
Absence of thought
You get sold & bought
but you still can't see me
cause I am nothing
ZERO IS ME
Think of a number you cannot see
Pray to a god you cannot see
This emptiness I feel,
I feel it is real;
This was not the deal
Caught in the middle
of the beginning and the end
Still ZERO IS ME!!!
