Utopia Banished

[The used quote is taken from the movie "They Live", directed by John Carpenter and released in 1988] [Bearded Man:] The poor and the underclass are growing. Racial justice and human rights are non-existent. They have created a repressive society, and we are their unwitting accomplices. Their intention to rule rests with the annihilation of consciousness. We have been lulled into a trance. They have made us indifferent to ourselves, to others. We are focused only on our own gain. [The used excerpt is taken from the anti-Semitic and propagandistic writing "Mein Kampf" by Adolf Hitler] The stronger must dominate and not blend with the weaker, thus sacrificing his own greatness. Only the born weakling can view this as cruel

I abstain! Summon my pride? What? Pride behind your blinkered eyes? Your vigilance is shit "The lads together" - You'll fall! Smug complacency Notions of reserving the right to think with your fists I abstain from this mundane apathy Committed to "all for red, white and blue" In effect you're fighting for what's really fighting you "Grit those teeth, push out those chests" Tears only for the flag Always the brave patriot as you slip to second class But you stand steadfast? People are not subjects Why should the few get more respect? Open your eyes! Imperialism feeds off you Not patrons but patronized Open your eyes! They're shaping you You're trapped with "pomp and circumstance" Lose your discretion Soon, you'll not fall from grace Endorse their rhetoric You fade, they prosper They're shaping you You're trapped with "pomp and circumstance" Lose your discretion Soon, you'll not fall from grace Endorse their rhetoric You fade, they prosper I abstain! Don't be a colonial slave Don't substantiate the act

Prolonged exposure In a world where I try to belong I try to belong Character cessation On a major scale of depression Declining sense of fear A fear that is growing That some divine treason is making me Feel like nothing Dementia access, dementia access Wide awake as I await sentence Resisting to be forced access Dementia access, dementia access My immunity lessens every day I hope salvation relieves my disdain

Inbred expectations in a belt of social security Free thought demolished Generations of stereotypes clash Traditional values abolished Outcries from the blind converted Mentally shocked Their forcified vision shies away from reality Finally blocked Majority overweigh the scales of balance Secrets hidden Sin after sin in their eyes Majority overweigh the scales of balance Secrets hidden Sin after sin in their eyes Understanding is now too late Utopia is banished The very morals trusted in have brought demise Demise Religion, love, compassion Confuse the truth with lies Traditions to be changed? Accept the inevitable? Forget the narrowmindedness to create a new paradise

No way forward or back, In stalemate, we stagnate, Life cycle is an automation, Instinctively, we race to get ahead? And now our virgin minds are raped, Another insignficance to join the rat-race Self-indulgence with our grasp. We're taught but torn (from) the sanctity of life. So vulnerable, The world keeps turning - We spin out of control. Guided, or could this mean misguided, No time for questions, Preoccupied with pressing on, The world keeps turning - We overdose on overdrive. Superior species with inferior ideas, We overload our bodies and minds, Respect this earth while commiting suicide. Poison trait. We're the cause not the cure, Our methods of fulfillment will surely drag us down. Guided, or could this mean misguided, Our virgin minds are raped - The world keeps turning - We overdose on overdrive, we spin out of control. In stalemate, we stagnate.

Not lacking insight or impetus to shout behind ideas that reforms in us Will bring about (As) parallels we run so close yet as I try to draw to you Incoherence rears its ugly head Of integration? You do your utmost to discourage it Envy, resentment, jealousy Token emotions - there is no need I try so hard to state my case yet as I try to draw to you Incoherence rears it ugly head Resort to slander - you drive me further away Breakdown of minuscule faith - my wasted efforts!! It's your indifference, not mine, that puts me on a pedestal Then after the fact, you oppose me for a lack of support If your aims are to attract us condemnation The bitter taste I had now strengthens my resolve to rise above To rise above To rise above

Reproach envelopes me A hierarchy through violence Street society I voice my contempt Convinced of my immunity Yet on a smaller scale In my conflicted world My resistance is stretched You sense and provoke You mock and degrade my friends and aims Tempting drastic actions - baiting me My shame turning, turning to rage Twisting the knot inside The final strains of restraint discharged Acceleration of loathing, driving my physical force The shameful act, the feeling of angst I considered myself incapable Lay blame with me for the "bastard" that I am (You're) too stupid to understand the scars your cruel words inflict

Taste me Taste me You made me what I am Mind-polluting worthless fuck Am I the mental feast Bruised and scarred The underdog A pawn within a losers game My strength will grow upon your fear Slime In time you'll face your end line Judge me not before yourself Breed Take my pride - that's all you can Hatred surges burning, burning me Feed For what atonement do you seek Your dying grasp of loyalty breaks like, breaks like brittle bones Forgotten past I stand condemned For I am more powerful than you'd imagine

Saturating, pre-assuming icon of the youth Ways and means to call the shots Fingers in the pies which resign us from vacant urges Facing the bombardment - No escape! Stick your intentions! Parade of puppets Sickly sweet - You stink of vulgarity! Sacrifice the faculties All you've achieved is synthetic scenes Next step is to gain approval from those ignore Those who recognize the charade To fabricate alternatives designed to be expensive In hand with the regular façade Acquire acclaim with plastic actions Sickly sweet - You stink of vulgarity! Sacrifice the faculties All you've achieved is synthetic scenes Fit into the cliché A legend in your own brain Bigoted, motivated, only for prestige A mask for your inadequacy Preshaping to what's required for slick commerciality Censored for subversion Redundant machine Don't let them mold your identity

Got time to kill Sometimes I wallow, in an air Somewhere between a state of good intention and pathos - no worries!! I've got time to kill! Wear my bleeding heart on a discerning sleeve The mind is there but the spirit's weak - time to worry!! When the time is killing concern Presumption, an assumption Redemption - unsolved Riding on the perseverance of others with armchair ideology I'm a link in a chain of strength Destructive inner fatigue corroding our effectiveness Got to kick myself into gear Instead of shirking from activity I've got time to kill my concern!!

Got to grab all while you can - A perversion! Once you had the gall to even up the score Moving in common circles Where the circles stood for human bonds The tide has turned, allegiance tested Upward and uninterested Beforehand, adamant and strong Prosperity could not transform Snort the drug, gather the assets Step on the head of the drowning man The tide has turned, allegiance tested Upward and uninterested Hailed a savior as enterprise succeeds Your obsession overrides Where once you fought to stop the trap enclosing Now you lay the bait Speculate, capitalize Words that distort to promote financial genocide Ideals for trade, respect invested Upward and uninterested Got to grab all while you can - A perversion!

Pushed, promoted, justified? Perhaps not guaranteed Reassuring cash transfer providing leads Media profile - Fallacies we need? I think not! Labels breed the money-making rock machines Broadening mind, eyes blind Criticism for the masses - Or for themselves? Progression or procession? Do opinions count or do they mount? The piles of shit (That the) alternative press delights us with Critique elite - Ill-informed No wrong can be done, depending on the trend at times to be untrendy Unexpired exile Reluctantly we all indulge their tasteful hype

[The used quote is taken from the movie "They Live", directed by John Carpenter and released in 1988] [Bearded Man:] We are their cattle. We are being bred for slavery. Thought trained to succeed From here on the pain begins We're maggots, cast in the sea of struggle Bait for the big fish Crawl, forever crawling Faith holds no answers Ravenous - They greedily suck away your will to even argue A belief in something better Downtrodden hopes still linger Faces bear the same shallow fear of forgotten prosperity Powers change The promise of reward Declarations false and injust Tame insecurity A dreamlike notion that life eases by Cushioning the blow of impending reality Aimlessness is flogging us - Awake!!
