I see you! Picking up a harmless creature Throwing it into a small box The manic look in your eyes The twisted smile on your face You don’t fucking care! Fuck you! You sick murderer Fuck you! Cold and heartless Fuck you! You make me sick Fuck you! You fucking cunt! Locking it up into a small cage Holding it captive there You don’t fucking care! Fuck you! You sick murderer Fuck you! Cold and heartless Fuck you! You make me sick Fuck you! You fucking cunt!

Nothing, You can't take nothing from me Cause I don't owe nothing to your fucking rules I am my own authority My own fucking authority You don't own me I am not your property You can't force me To do what you want You don't own me Because I'm not yours I am my own freedom My own freedom Power You’re blinded by the smell of power You take from those who need Exploit exploit But you can't take Nothing from me Because I am my own authority You don't own me I am not your property You can't force me To do what you want You don't own me Because I'm not yours I am my own freedom My own freedom You can't take away my Freedom My pride My life You can't take away my Freedom My pride my life I am my own authority And in my eyes You are nothing

Colour Blind 01:24
lyrics
buy track
Black is black and white is white There should be no judgment that underlies It’s stupid how some hate darker colors When most of those people like to tan in the summer Skin won't determine good and bad Skin shouldn't prove the kind of life you have! I'd rather be colour blind! Yellow black red white i don't mind! I judge a person by the way he SPEAKS not the colour of his SKIN I'd rather be colour blind COLOUR BLIND! Why other races treated like shit It’s fuckin' ugly, if you know what I mean Will we realize no matter how we hate When our bodies rot, our blood is the same! RED RED RED! I'd rather be colour blind! Yellow black red white i don't mind! I judge a person by the way he SPEAKS Not the colour of his SKIN I'd rather be colour blind Yellow black red white i don't mind!

Who I Am 01:22
lyrics

Just let me get what I want! You've got no right to legalize me. I'm not your social puppet, I'm not your mask of dreams - I've got my own life to live My freedom, my peace So doesn’t fucking judge me! I am who I am who I am who I am I am who I am who I am who I am I am who I am who I am who I am So don't you even try to change my fucking mind! There are no rules to my life! Who are you to set my boundaries? I'm not your social slave, I've got freedom under my skin You can't confine me But I can confine you So doesn’t fucking suffocate! I am who I am who I am who I am I am who I am who I am who I am I am who I am who I am who I am So don't you even try to change my fucking mind!

Warzones 02:07
lyrics

I am cracking like 7 years of bad luck An enemy of myself, a new born soldier, Forced in entry, I gain control of myself, I manipulate myself Like brain-washing societies Look in me You’ll find a warzone SHOOT! SHOOT! SHOOT! Look in me You’ll find a warzone Take out your weapons It is live or lose! SHOOT! SHOOT! SHOOT! SHOOT! I smell like smoke Like a self-brewed warfare Open your ears to what I’ve got to say Nowadays you can no longer get peace Without a price of blood and a dying dream! Look in me You’ll find a warzone. SHOOT! SHOOT! SHOOT! Look in me You’ll find a warzone Take out your weapons It is live or lose! Look in me You’ll find a warzone SHOOT! SHOOT! SHOOT! Look in me You’ll find a warzone Take out your weapons It is live or lose!

What Next 01:20
lyrics
buy track
Why do I write? Because I can't speak No matter how loud I shout The world is deaf to me Oppression. Control. They want a part of my future But what if my future has no space for them at all? What do you care About what I want? Plan it! Build it! Make it! Why? Should I care about a future If the present is bleek? What do I care about life if it is not mine to live? Give me a chance? Who said it's yours to give? My chances are mine to take so hands.off.please! I can chase my dreams With my own two feet Take your precious values coz they are nothing to me. Socialize me. What next? Control me. What next? Brainwash me. What next? Change me. What next? What next? I’ll be a property Not an identity That’s what's next! What next? I’ll be a property Not an identity That’s what's next!

Pull the Plug 02:46
lyrics
buy track
Control, manipulation and all angles of force Try to rob our spirits and stuff our nogs with tosh Feed us empty promises to keep us in line Mindless brains of those who think conformity's just fine Money, reputation and all the social clots Fill us with a mess of material thoughts The only thing I like about those dollar notes is wiping with the face when we run out of toilet rolls! Life is but a puppet show Handled by the men above We can sing the same damn songs but they can bring the volume down They will bring the volume down! They’re the ones who pull the plug! Corruption, conspiracies - their legalized rule if you believe in Satan, well it's him in the suit Who says you need to die to face the devilish leir When I wake up everyday and know I'm already there!? Social class, statuses are man-made diseases Paths towards becoming a uniformed citizen but who are they to tell us it's a rule to buy our dreams? If there's a god, then he can judge, but where the fuck's he been!? Life is but a puppet show Handled by the men above We can sing the same damn songs but they can bring the volume down They will bring the volume down! They’re the ones who pull the plug!

A Rotten Ruckus to an unruly society. As a band, we dare to speak out, and we dare to play loud, and we dare to point the middle finger to everything that hurts us.
