Revolution At Home

Behind the kitchen tables
In soft living room chairs
We sit here
Whisper slaves don't let anyone hear you
Stay where you sit
Keep you mouth shut
Follow you father
End up like him
A silent shadow at the end of the table
With a good old grin
Revolution At Home
Goes on and on and on and on and on
Revolution At Home
Goes on and on and on and on and on
Let's tear up the newspaper together
I tell you it's all scum
Let's love in silence
No pictures, no sounds
I will never understand
Why do they keep the lights on
We walk between color and shine
We whisper, we don't shout
I wanna stand up
But I love to sit down
I wanna stand up
But I love to sit down
Food made of car tires
Can I call myself a man
Food made of car tires
I'll stuff it in me
I could never hit a woman
But I can promise you
Wake up theres no middle class dream
What smells like flowers
Is really nothing

Compassion Is Gone
01:58

So Many babies are born
Can you hear them talk
So many walk with their eyes closed
So many can't see
Young people no dreams
Young bodies no brains
Brains are dead
Can you blame the braindead
You and I we're not like them
In all our shoes and all our clothes
We say a million words
We drown in all that we don't know
Let me sing
Let me play
Leave me alone
Don't you know compassion is
Let's get away
Take a bus or a train and just ride
We can ride ride ride
Let's get out of this mud
Let's find a place
A place of happiness

The Western World

We get so easily annoyed
In the western world
And we like to go to war
In the western world
Screens, machines
In the western world
Success or failure
Everything's painfull
In the western world
I hurt you
You hurt me
In the western world
I've sold myself
To the western world
You're blowing out
Smoke into my eyes
Break away
Break away
And then
Hungry and alone
We check the prices on the boxes
And I know that this is where I wanna be
Standing in line
Standing in line
Standing in line
Standing in line
The western world
The western world
The western world
The western world

I don't wanna see myself
I need somebody else
I have to go back
I want you to love me
I've done some things
I know nothing
Bad things in
Good things out
Bad things in
Good things out
From a distance
I know it's you
Do you know it's me
I live in fear
And nobody knows
Bad things in
Good things out
Bad things in
Good things out
I'm scared of looking
At the hardworking
People around me
Keep passing by me
I'm scared of looking
I'm scared of looking
At the hardworking

Is there anything I can do
What am I good for
Stiff upper lip
That's who I am
Good for everyone
I wish I could
In my head I say some wild things
Unemployed, yet still busy
But nothing is happenning
Nowhere
I have no shame
I hope and I believe
Pride will avoid me
Sometimes I mean harm
I'm not strange in any way
Unemployed, yet still busy
But nothing is happenning
Nowhere, nowhere
Unemployed, yet still busy
I came up with something

Your family
What have they ever said
Water
Babies
Money
Cigarettes
Poison the child
Keep the child safe
Poison the child
Keep the child safe
I'm not like
Not like
Not like
Not like
You
One day I'll say
Your boy is the finest boy
World has ever made
He can walk and bite his nails
He'll do everything he can
Special boy
Poison the child
Keep the child safe
Poison the child
Keep the child safe
I'm not like
Not like
Not like
Not like
You
So, is this really your mind
Is this really who you are
Poison the child
Keep the child safe
Poison the child
Keep the child safe
I'm not like
Not like
Not like
Not like
You

Bum Night

Tell no one what I've done
Don't say the name
Let's find a place
Somewhere that's warm
We can sit on the stairs
By the bank
We don't need no money
We don't like the rain
Let's talk to the ones
Who crap in the park
Let's talk to the ones
Who sleep in their own piss
I wanna know
How did they get there
And what to do
Where to go now
My friend
My friend
Tell no one what I've done
Don't say the name

It lasts a while
Lonely, with everyone around
They're hungry for money
Hungry for blood
But you're a fool that doesn't mind
Any kind of insults
Your other cheek is bleeding
And what you are recieving from them
It's just not enough
You repeat to yourself
It's only death
I have nothing to worry about
It's not easy to be yourself
You always cry alone
And God is non-existing
Except when you're scared
Nobody spoke to you about you
Ever in your life
You are lost now
You are a ghost now
Can you feel anything these days
Can you feel anything these days
It's the system
Yeah it's the system
And it doesn't really work
But to open your mouth and smile
To get undressed in front of someone
That's all you want from life

Oppression

I've got dreams
I've got somewhere to lay my head
I've got no one to talk to
I've got a 2-hour day
It's good enough
Do I have to keep my head down
Do I have to find the love of my life
Oppression
That's what I feel
Do I have to be clean
Do I have to love my family
Oppression
That's what I feel
Oppression
That's what I need
