Dr Evil Pays Well

DR EVIL PAYS WELL
The land all claimed, resources controlled
Scavenge for survival
The crippled and lazy, easily discarded
Those who show value are well compensated
Unquestionable allegiance required to rise in stature
Apply at the front desk
There will be an opening when there's a death
Slave, secure, begging to be conquered
Satisfied, happy with the wealth, eating well
Murder, denial, protect those you love
Closet the demons, cover the scars
Full time employment with benefits
There's nothing money can't fix
Good opportunities are hard to find
Dog eat dog, only the fit survive
Blind, avert your stare
Inquisition will get you killed
Don't agitate, the snake will bite
The poison will end your life
You must be willing to sacrifice
To hold no opinion, to have no rights
Everything given can be taken away
We own the military, we own the state
Life is ours to give and take
Die in the desert or live as a slave
You will be well payed, bury the dead
Work for us or work for them
There's no difference in the game
Join or toil, work for Dr Evil
You will be well payed

Guilty Pleasures
00:56
|
|||
GUILTY PLEASURES
Shame, blame, feign, never claim
Estrange, express defense and rage
Plague, eradicate, erase
Music is important, it's the foundation of life
People's taste in music shows what they're really like
Display embarrassment for bad decisions
Get on your knees and beg to be forgiven
Or, no punk heaven
You'll suffer in hell with Phil Collins
|

Sugar Hides The Pain
00:56
|
|||
SUGAR HIDES THE PAIN
Addictive chemicals, totally legal
Unable to be classified as a drug
The only problem is it tastes awful
So, we can't successfully lace people's food
Mix it with soda water and put it in bottles
Sell it as freedom, addict the world
No one can know our secret ingredients
Hook them young, market to children
A culture of happiness
Sick!
Studies show risks of cancer
but just in lab rats
Facts, crap!!!
Health concerns are an attack on liberty
Label intelligence as fringe and crazy
Clean living is for stinky hippies
What will you drink when you go to the movies?
A liter of juice will just give you diarrhea
Diarrhea
and no one wants diarrhea at the movies
it would ruin the whole experience
So, buy our soda
|

THE SMARTER THEY COME, THE HARDER THEY FALL
Logic will trap you
A systemic tool
for the comfort of a few
Philosopher
Condemnation of dissent
Justified
There's no better system
Erosion of emotion
Calculated reason
"Peace through war"
"The rich help the poor"
This path of self interest
is clouded by ignorance
Systemic failures
Celebration of our arrogance

Tubular Meat Products
01:32
|
|||
Lust, crave, drool, cruel
Guts, lips, tails, taint
Floor meat, feces
mashed and shoved in intestine
Severely dangerous to children
Choking, nutrition
Tradition
Hormones and disease
Served with your crackers and cheese
Environmental catastrophe
Tubular meats
Convenient to eat
Addictive treats
Chemical additives
Toxic packages
Processed food stuffs
Enough to kill the world
But, don't listen to that, it's colorful and fun!
It'll fill you up and help you find love
Over ten hundred billion served
On this dust bowl we call earth
Family friendly, fancy cancer

Myth Of Contentment
02:23
|
|||
MYTH OF CONTENTMENT
White picket fence and fresh cut grass
On Mondays they come get the trash
It's a hallmark life for us
Everything's just marvelous
Modern living, the american dream
Work to death and leave your kids in debt
Everyone can own blue jeans
But we can't afford the rent
Look away from the blood stains
It will be cleaned, the memories fade away
The fridge is stocked, the bills are paid
There's always a rainbow when it rains
We'd rather pay to lock people in jail
Than feed and pay for their health
Joy can't be found, filled with such hate
System of competition, stifling change
The lives ignored and the support for war
Destabilized the world for cheap goods and labor
We couldn't pay more to help out each other
Ignoring our families, ignoring our neighbors
Dystopian nation, steady erosion
A fresh coat of paint stalls real solutions
Illusion of democracy to redirect animosity
Controlled by the oligarchy, manipulated through marketing
In the end, your castle is your prison
Struggle to give your life some meaning
All your hope put in your children
But they never come to visit
Connection is purpose
Flourish

Money Makes Us Miserable
02:28
|
|||
MONEY MAKES US MISERABLE
Fear
Envy
Greed
Money is disease
Willing slaves for meager pay
thankful to work our lives away
Full time job, part time mom
Children raised to take your place
Replace your face
Holding on to dreams long gone
Inflation devalued retirement funds
Capitalism runs -on delusions
The entire system was rigged
to benefit a handful of families
who've owned the banks for generations
They use our greed to enslave us
Bootstraps can't reach the elitists
Our leaders-
subservient to their influence, granting wishes
Disease- our monetary economy
Belief- in the myth of mobility
Freedom- is economic democracy
Release- your belief in stability
Hoarding money to retire
Always working longer hours
Afraid the poor will steal your cash
you give it back to the banks
They say thanks
Then they'll loan it out for interest
Bad investments, heavy loses
Everyone thinks
that they can rule the world
but the entire system was rigged to enslave us
and plunder earth's resources
Money makes us needy
Money makes us greedy
Money makes us fight their wars
Money makes us slaves and whores
Money fuels hatred
Money makes us racist
Money corrupts our hopes and dreams
and makes us hate our families
The more money you have
the more people you fear
The bigger the house
the more alone you are
with you nice cars
Fall for the money trap baited with glittery lies
Individualism's miserable we need community to survive
You shouldn't get what you want all the time
To be constantly served is a disease to the mind
Sometimes is fine
Grovel, bow, bend
Kneel servant
The arrogance of masters, the desperation of hunger
Fight for the leftovers
Laughter, psychopathic amusement
Pleading for charity is entertainment
Money is worthless
Money has no purpose
There is no nutrition
Money can't be eaten
It won't keep you dry
or warm you up at night
But, it's okay for paper mache
Ruthless villains, building prisons
To suppress the desperation
Their ideology embraced by the masses
will destroy the planet
The game is theirs and theirs alone
They rule our rulers and control the world,
energy, water, food,
you are a commodity too
This isn't new
You won't ever be them
and you should never try
Miserable, unkind
Barter
Lets work together
and get rid of this system
that breeds greed and war
The true measure of success is happiness

FLEE FROM TERROR TO BE EATEN BY LIONS
Hell on earth, war ensues
Instinctual survival skills
Run or be killed
Blindly into the night
Far from the fight
Leaving everything behind
Family and friends
lost, presumed dead
Horrors told by other victims
No prisoners or bribes, just genocide
Only the fastest runners survived
Exiled to the harsh elements to starve and die
Abandon all hope, abandon the country
March for months to be turned away
No compassion, no humanity
More brutality
No peace
Defenseless, stuck in between
No one wants the refugees
Forced to hide
Abandoned to die
Pushed to the wilderness
Growing numbers, the helpless displaced
Rumors of humanitarian aid
Death comes to all who
are injured or slow and tired
Miles of children
A feast for the lions
No choice but to keep on
Don't listen to the bones crunching
Fear, despair, desperation
Sick from exhaustion
Destination
Hope
Rest and nourished,
Nursed back to health
Kindness and love
Help from a stranger
The opportunity to start living life again
in America
Only to find more of the same
Pushed away
Racism, crime, drug addiction
A whole new set of problems
Slave wages, college debt
Crushing all hope left
Void, emptiness,
this soulless culture doesn't heal
Beaten, robbed, killed

Missing Your Blessings
01:04
|
|||
MISSING YOUR BLESSINGS
Everyone's in such a hurry
No time to help the needy
Missing all the positive energy
From interacting with human beings
Forget to smile, forget to touch
except when we're manipulative
Forget to stop and feel the love
Forget to be appreciative
Commercialize our social lives
Valued by financial ties
Believing all their greedy lies
Forgetting what's wrong and right
If you think the weak can't teach
your soul yearns to learn
All living things have value
even that which brings you harm
Opportunities to help another
only make us that much stronger
Eliminate suffering
Eliminate hunger
Life's an extension of ourself
To help others promotes good health
Don't leave someone to struggle in pain
if you can do something to alleviate their suffering
Build your vitality, your spirit, your strength
To give your love is to receive a blessing

Into The Fog
01:01
|
|||
INTO THE FOG
Distorted vision, willful ignorance
Full speed ahead, a game of chance
Nothing to gain, everything to lose
Leaving decisions to the minds of fools
Follow and lead with no accountability
Don't stop to think, you'll lose your place
Don't stray to far, it's worse for others
Stick with the familiar, you know the pace
|
||||
11. |
Punks Not Punk
00:29
|
|||
PUNKS NOT PUNK
A consumer culture concerned with image
Rebellion means dyeing your hair
No effort or involvement to try and make it better
Just stand in judgement and point your finger
Bland and stale, just rehashing
boring bands we all thought sucked
Marketing an image to piss off your mom
Sell it in the malls, rebellion can be bought
But, it's not about where you choose to shop
for your prepackaged, name-brand suspenders and docks.
|

12. |
The Wait
01:45
|
|||
THE WAIT
Time
Repetitive nature
Forced patience
Anticipate
The wait
The end
The waste, unreplaced
Lost to the motions in space
All imploded from boredom
Set in motion new vibration
Aggressive reminders: Age
A sense of urgency creates fate
It's not fear that drives
but, a desire to thrive
Silence is death
No reward for the bored
Matter persists to fill the abyss
|

A Poisoned Dog Will Bite
00:31
|
|||
A POISONED DOG WILL BITE
Snarling and mean, stand your ground
The fog is thick, thoughts slowed down
Backed into a corner, the beast will lunge
Only approach them on their own terms
Confusion creates distrust
Contact requires patience
Positive reinforcement and physical health
Clean the mind and the behavior will follow
|
||||
14. |
||||
CARING FOR OTHERS IS WHAT GIVES LIFE MEANING
Too much time to contemplate
Not easily entertained
The quest for purpose
to give life meaning
A reason to live
More than the experience
All abilities and accomplishments, history, and beauty
There's only one way lasting joy is achieved
Relationships
Empathy
Kindness and giving
Feeling
Love is life and joy
|
||||
15. |

Pride compromised
Lies to satisfy
Define my crime
Deny the truth
Excuse
Loose interpretation, manipulation
Self serving agenda fiercely defended
Salesman, Superman,
Batman, taxman,
Plastic man, plastic land
Opportunity is seized by the persistent
Prostrate bow, to bend their will
This behavior isn't natural
Opportunistic, capitalistic
Use and be used
Abuse and refuse
for maximum profit
Friendly and kind to line mein pocket.
Degrade for pay everyday
Fake smiles, denial, survival
Inside "Le Miserable"
I've always known it felt wrong
and carried on
Taught to take, stake, claim all I can
means to an end
Blend, pretend to be human
'Take advantage'
The capitalist commandment
Erode compassion
Ignore remorse, stay the course
Success feels best
with feelings suppressed
There's no measure to pleasure from treasure
To be served is perverse
Failing system, mental prison
Selfish living breeds corruption
|

Jesus Was A Muslim
01:04
|
|||
Jesus wasn't Muslim
Jesus wasn't Hindu
Jesus wasn't Christian
He's not inside of you
The voices you hear are only your own
You weren't born to rule, you're a child's clown
Delusions of grandeur with self serving purpose
God's voice is your ego but it's too big to notice
Rulers have no right
Their power comes from might
Mandate is fake
God is a lie to enslave
Indoctrination, manipulation
You don't represent the people
You're not the voice of the nation
You're a human puppet for corrupt organizations
Profiting from death and terror
Waging war for the greed of man
|

Stepping In Shit
01:33
|
|||
STEPPING IN SHIT
Careful to avoid the mines
Always looking left to right
Thoughtlessly left behind
To find, in time
Why not give hygiene a try?
Hygiene
Bury your turd
Don't be absurd
No one wants to step in shit
and scrape the grooves out with a stick
Wash them down with a hose
Spraying shit back on your clothes
in your face, up your nose
Assault upon my senses
The stench of feces
Unaware, a hidden treasure
To be discovered later
|

RACE IS A CONSTRUCT OF THE ELITE USED TO DIVIDE US FOR SUBJUGATION
The will of the united mass is an unstoppable force
The power of rulers is just a farce
Divide
Brother against brother, tribe against tribe
Instigate
Fostering fear and hate, jealousy and blame
Demonizing differences
Ignoring commonalities
One race
labeled homo sapiens
Segregate
appearance, culture, religion
Blinded
with illusions of mobility
Enslaved
Your hate bars your prison
Your oppressor lies within
Your mind, molded to comply
Knowing your place in the order
Serving your masters
|
||||
19. |
||||
THE POLICE ARE STATE SPONSORED TERRORISTS
Rape, extortion, an epidemic of violence
Organized, money buys influence
To murder or pay off is justice
Kidnapping children for private industry
Ruining homes, destroying families
Paid to enforce corporate written legislation
Thugs for organized crime, intimidation
Protecting the thieves who rob the nation
Filling quotas, filling prisons
Bloody history of political suppression
Jailing journalists
They've even bombed a neighborhood
Framing murders
Shaming, blaming the victims
The fbi's definition of domestic terrorism
|
||||
20. |
||||
Overcompensation
Taste Of desperation
Sweeten
Masking flaws and lack of substance
makes it much worse
Complexity, Perplexity
Leaves us unsure
Tell us what we want to hear
It's obvious it's been rehearsed
Actions will speak louder than words
|
||||
21. |
Expectations
00:33
|
|||
EXPECTATIONS
Demands and disappointments
Entitlement
Self righteous will imposed
Only loss is gained from desire
Greed never gives
Bound by possessions, prison
Fear, judgement, enemies of freedom
|
||||
22. |
||||
EXPLOITATION OF NECESSITY
Human rights, the right to survive
Militarized dominance of earth's resources
Wasteful production to provide an illusion of capitalism
Destroy all life for a quick profit
Money is slavery, to control a military
To enforce borders and protect hoarders
Join the system for a meal
Harvesting nature is illegal
Toil
Slave
|
||||
23. |
||||
We want and need to feed
So, travel the land planting seeds
Filling the forests with fruit trees
Forget the GDP
and the capitalist economy
Let's truly live free
To learn and laugh and breathe
The water should be clean
and safe to drink without disease
No more welfare
It's nature's childcare
The cure for hunger
Lets all share
Crush the structure
Rupture
Abolish wage slavery, abolish all prisons
A benevolent society IS rehabilitation
Listen and observe your surroundings
People just aren't happy
Living life afraid, struggling everyday
To make ends meet, to feed their hungry families
Polluting everything to make products we don't need
Violently enforced poverty
recruitment for the military
Perpetual enslavement
