You work so fucking hard to achieve your ideal in the time that you've allowed, but, no, the guarantee didn't hold up, swallow hard and bite back the fear It's always been this way, you just deceive yourself into thinking everything is fine. Cut your wrists, watch them bleed, a drop for every promise you can't keep You're a loser, not a winner, you were born to lose Them that has gets and you've got nothing, you're a loser not a winner It's always been this way, nothing ever changes It's always been this way, you just deceive yourself into thinking everything is fine. Cut your wrists, watch them bleed a drop for every promise you can't keep You're a loser, not a winner, you were born to lose Them that has gets and you've got nothing, you're a loser not a winner It's always been this way, nothing ever changes

Nations untrustworthy, room filled with gasoline Two men striking matches so they can see They raise their guns and dare each other play a game of death We call it... Russian Roulette One chance is all you get Chambers loaded, you got the hammer cocked Barrels at your head, yeah, a prayer's what you've got Detente is undermined by the savages who lead us blind towards Armageddon or worse Russian Roulette One chance is all you get Russian Roulette Russian Roulette One chance is all you get Russian Roulette

Born into a class structure, rich man or slave at his feet Bystander or maker of crime killing in war or doing time The elders who possess the power build arsenals in defense you pay the price for their fears, their memories they won't forget It's your fate, you don't decide It's your fate, struggle just to survive No hope, no hope for you who come from the slums The verdict in long before your first breath filled your lungs Tomorrow you'll rise, look around you, wonder why All you see in decay. Fate has not been kind It's your fate, you don't decide It's your fate, struggle just to survive Tomorrow you'll rise, look around you, wonder why All you see in decay. Fate has not been kind It's your fate, you don't decide It's your fate, struggle just to survive It's your fate, you don't decide
Suicidal bomber dying for a cause, and the life you're losing it's well worth the price You're on a mission for your god and the innocents you take with you are examples for us all Holy war, holy war. You keep killing, you don't know who it's for Holy war, holy war. You keep killing, you don't know what it's for I watch you, soldier, as you stab her and laugh, her mother draws her near She takes her last breath Then you unfold your leader's picture, show him what you've done Then you kiss his photo, praise this holy one Holy war, holy war. You keep killing, you don't know who it's for Holy war, holy war. You keep killing, you don't know what it's for I watch you, soldier, as you stab her and laugh, her mother draws her near She takes her last breath Then you unfold your leader's picture, show him what you've done Then you kiss his photo, praise this holy one Holy war, holy war. You keep killing, you don't know who it's for Holy war, holy war. You keep killing, you don't know what it's for Holy war, holy war. You keep on dying, you don't know who it's for Holy war, holy war. You keep killing, you don't know what it's for

Shattered Illusions (Crosby/Tutone/Butler) The giant fears that creep upon you as you gaze with open eyes at the world that surrounds you, hollow shells of faded dreams Somewhere close I feel your breath and somewhere I sense death What I felt for you last night is dying with the morning light Shattered illusions makes me confused Shattered illusions The smog thickens over your head...?(3 words)?... You're standing, watching the years trickle by too soon Things won't fit into place right before the/they...?(1 word)?... You don't wanna join the ratrace, thing are getting harder to...?(1 word)?... Shattered illusions makes me confused Shattered illusions Shattered illusions Start making every scene searching every bar You're working on another scheme, illusion takes you but how far Somewhere close I feel your breath and somewhere I sense death What I felt for you last night is dying with the morning light Shattered illusions makes me confused Shattered illusions Shattered illusions makes me confused Shattered illusions It's not supposed to be this way!

Deceived by false hopes into thinking there was something more I've let what matters slip away Like grains of sand falling from my hands All tomorrows are yesterdays No one really cares They're just out to survive and if you find it hard to believe you're the one who's living a lie Oh yes, my life is pain, all was taken that I gave Left with only broken promises All tomorrows are yesterdays No one really cares They're just out to survive and if you find it hard to believe you're the one who's living a lie Can't you see you're wasting time Believing in a better day that never comes All the prayers that you pray won't change tomorrow from yesterday No one really cares They're just out to survive and if you find it hard to believe you're the one who's living a lie Death to our false love, we live only to be gratified Raise the sword high, strike us down

You don't know me, I owe you not a thing yet you believe it's your right to take it all Wanting a slave you can devour I should fulfill your need Not on your life! Abuse me, exploit me thick and red the blood I bleed Dominate, defile me drink it down, the blood I bleed Drill in my mind little girls are tolerated often used, despised and hate Gonna rot alone in their middle ages kept in line must control their rages I see you've moved to another key holder One's gonna treat you much better He gives you strong advice about your life, girl Now that lover you trust and believe in has got you in a corner charging a fee, yeah I rip the flesh from your bones I laugh as I watch it fall away The blood from your veins falls like a shower This passion you want to control Abuse me, exploit me Abuse me, exploit me Abuse me, exploit me Abuse me, exploit me thick and red the blood I bleed Dominate, defile me drink it down, the blood I bleed drink it down, the blood I bleed

I the judge and the jury I deliver the sentence You who've not seen the light of day shall die before you awaken There is no force in my life that I cannot control I have your seed, I spit it on the ground I will not reap what you've sown On the widow's walk he waits for thee On the widow's walk I call your name I'll give to you what you gave to me a term of confusion and pain I stand alone, await your return I have nothing to gain I'll give to you what you gave to me a term of confusion and pain I stand alone, await your return I have nothing to gain You can change fate's decree On the widow's walk, I wait for thee

Can't you see we don't care about you? Can't you see we don't want your kind? We give you weapons to kill each other Can't you see, or are you blind? Vultures in the sky, flying overhead Vultures in the sky looking for the dead Vultures in your sky You're doing just what we want you to do killing off your population We've got you by your stupid pride Rewarding it with frustration Vultures in the sky, flying overhead Vultures in the sky looking for the dead Vultures in the sky, flying overhead Vultures in the sky, they're looking for the dead Vultures in the sky (x4)
