*agent smith w/ the introduction* it's all an elaborate game funneling info to make you feel a certain way and if you rub against the grain in the name of treason they'll lock you away the proprietors of evil bend and twist to make you feel equal while using murder and racism to divide the people i am the alarm clock- wake up sheeple. participation seems pointless when your votes are pre-decided how did it get so bad so fast? we are the wall that divided we just sat back and stayed voiceless well i won't get back in line- this life is mine we are the 99 (go and tell it on the mountaintop) we are the 99 (we're just waiting for the ball to drop) we are the 99 (now let the banners be unfurled) we are the 99 (we're the cream of the sharecrop) we are the 99 (but we're pumping gas and pushing mops) we are the 99 (scream hallelujah- unfuck the world) where's the line between conspiracy and tyranny? its becoming clear to see- that our society is getting weak at the knees as paranoia turns into reality embrace the endless tragedy twenty two prisons for every school built enslaving the people without any guilt they offer security- but not solutions and its growing everyday with your silent contribution we have the numbers to make this right the time is now doesn't matter if youre brown black or white i won't get back in line- this life is mine we're getting out of this place tonight even if it costs us our lives we are the 99 (go and tell it on the mountaintop) we are the 99 (we're just waiting for the ball to drop) we are the 99 (now let the banners be unfurled) we are the 99 (we're the cream of the sharecrop) we are the 99 (but we're pumping gas and pushing mops) we are the 99 (scream hallelujah- unfuck the world) *solo* *bushbreakdown* our generation doesn't know piss all of your opinions form- scrolling- down your newsfeeds they don't want us to unite lets take our freedom back tonight things won't be right until we un.fuck.tha.world.

at times- we all feel like we are just fools and slaves what is a live in a dark room and being chained to a crate? our lives are just bi-products used for economic gain i'll never breathe fresh air again- and you're the one to blame there's- no- sunshine- for me today there's- no- sunshine there's- no- sunshine- for me today there's- no- sunshine someone ask me what my life is really worth it's a shame we were never truly- members of the earth stunned to the back of the head- skinned alive and deprived we never had feelings because we were- never truly alive there's- no- sunshine- for me today there's- no- sunshine there's- no- sunshine- for me today there's- no- sunshine no one will save us from ourselves how far will we go to obtain the wealth? no one will save us from ourselves how far will we go to obtain the wealth? i. i had to burn. i had to burn what i saw. one. one thing i know. one thing i know this is all wrong. i. i had to burn. i had to burn what i saw. one. one thing i know. one thing i know this is all wrong.

it's been heading here a lifetime- better to burn out than fade- away old enough to know better to young to care- ready to leave behind- this life of a ghost a ghost in a shell a shell in a hole a hole in myself feet underground head in the clouds lost in the sound barbed wire crown willing to- be the last- hand life's a nightmare come true. but with all the bad there's some good things too the things i do just- for you the stress of the world can surely wait i'm already sad enough today remember the words yeah, remember the phrase thinking about you, i'm happy to say willing to- be the last- hand to cast the first- stone to cast the first stone to cast the first stone tonight- tonight to cast the first fucking stone no love lost no need to complicate i'll be sincere if you make this go away i don't wanna talk about what's wrong with me today i don't want all of this effort to have been in vain this time this time. oh, not again. not again. oh here we go just go- the fuck away please go- the fuck away from me tonight. go away go away go away go away leave this place- turn away there's nothing here- left to save

either way and we all live on while the good die young there's no tomorrow guaranteed today- we're all gonna die anyway roll the dice, you don't get to live twice it's like smoking cigarettes and holding sticks of dynamite round and around we go (spiraling towards the earth) and nothin matters maybe don't you know? (i can't tell which is worse) (either way) this life exhausts everyone (either way) the light dies like a setting sun (either way) until walking dead- we have become (either way) and we all live on while the good die young the time we borrow- is just wasting away while false idols remain on display (FUCK KANYE) genuine people are a dying light if real recognize real, i must be losing sight. the frustration's building up in me (can't you see?) i'm not alone but it's all i can see (grab your kerosene) (either way) this life exhausts everyone (either way) the light dies like a setting sun (either way) until walking dead- we have become (either way) and we all live on while the good die young it's hard to be a burning joint, in a world so cold we are screaming for connection, but you're stuck on your phones and if you haven't noticed, something's terribly wrong we all wanna save the world but- we wanna be left alone (either way) this life exhausts everyone (either way) the light dies like a setting sun (either way) until walking dead- we have become (either way) and we all live on while the good die young the good die young the good die youngggg the good die youngggg rage. rage. rage. they'll take and take and take and take everything you have, everything you love, everything you are till all you have is nothing left nothing left to say, nothing left to do, nothing left to hide but now there's nothing left to lose let your light shine, let your light shine, let your light

dominion- over your fellow man is false. is false. is false. what gives you the right to live above the law? your time is drawing to an end- your reign will fall like frightened sheep your house will weep- tears of fucking blood if mud is all we are- what gives you the right to control- our lives take it to the streets ninety nine percent of the worlds feet pounding concrete can you feel the beat? (can you feel the beat) that's the sound of victory- this land belongs to you and me its time- its time-we kill the king liberate yourselves- from the yoke of tyranny kill the king take up arms with us- until royal blood- flows forth like a fucking sea to save our family trees from the drought we're gonna show the king what fucking freedom's all about. patriotic peasants- blue collars painted red high time the hierarchy- was placed upon its head all your beasts of burden- have broken down their pens they'd rather go down fighting- than be locked up again this is the day- the sheep kill the shepherd cause and effect- of things not getting better will you be there- when it all turns back around i was there the day- we burned the farmhouse down paying attention means reading every letter we can't complain about rain when we made the weather theres- no need to hide our faces now i was there the day- we burned the farmhouse down kill the king and now the bloods on my hands and running down both sides of the street kill the king i guess your castle's only made of sand the stones turned to dust- underneath our feet and we're gonna turn it under and plant new seeds exterminate this tyranny cause and effect and effect it travels on over and over again until we're gone and then we tear the fucking statues down.

about

Versa Nova Houston, Texas

We come from the land of the crack rock.

Twin chemical smoke stacks are the backdrop

We go to war, spit blood on the blacktop

We're kings of the kingdom of shit, and home is where the beat drops.
