kenleek VO is genius on every level. Unafraid to put out releases that vary in style while always being highly technical and based in grind. This release is like Zappa meets grind and I love it. My band is scheduled to play on a fest with VO in May 2023 and I'm hoping they play the same night we are!

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
2.
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
3.
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
4.
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
5.
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
6.
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
7.
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
9.
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
10.
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 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
13.
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
16.
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
17.
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
18.
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
