Album • 1993
(If you want a vision of the future Imagine a boot standing on a human face) Speed is our god Speed "The new canon of beauty" Caught in static ecstasy We climb Keep moving onward Keep moving forward Keep moving onward Down Ideas left in torment Ideas left to drown Stuck Stuck Stuck Stuck Stuck in the factory Stuck Stuck Stuck Stuck in the factory Stuck Growth is our motto Why? Well the answer's in productivity Gotta give up what's mine Got to fall into line Confused, pathetic and manic Splintered & entirety Spear-like shard Breaking hard We should be breaking you Stuck Stuck Stuck Stuck Stuck in the factory Stuck Stuck Stuck Stuck in the factory Stuck Keep moving onward Keep moving forward Keep moving onward Keep moving down Keep moving onward Keep moving forward Keep moving onward Keep moving down Keep moving onward Keep moving forward Keep moving onward Keep moving down Keep moving onward Keep moving forward Keep moving onward Keep moving down

All along the way You been scratching your name deep in us Now we're nothing save Let's just say, distracted When questioned it's delay or defuse Beaten down again It's nothing new I'd bring you with me If you were human too But I'm face to face with this silicon wall Hold truth like steel Don't want to lose what I feel When every breath seems real Pump me full of happy medium We want something more We the brighter, faster, harder generation Are coming knocking at your door Hacking down your door Hold truth like steel Don't want to lose what I feel When every breath seems real I know we can make it I know that if we try They'll fall I just can't take it anymore Another, another with nothing apart Come back along the way Been erasing your name out of me Now I'm not safe Let's just say I'm free Hold truth like steel Don't want to lose what I feel When every breath seems real Mold our thoughts like clay Then send us off on our way And it's the price we pay for our fear

Borrowed reason That taste stirs nothing in me And the only way to get by Is being built into this wall Yeah, it's a copout Standing still to please your doubt And for years in a snare We're so sorry, we left out your reason to crawl So sit down, vacuum child Get sucked in, desensitize, stand up Direct feed in through your eyes But now you're looking the wrong way Why play, not wanting anymore The first bite's the best So you leave the rest Lying face down like a razor Lying Good evening clapper loader You should override the writer Making stories fold Because truths are told In better ways than these Believe me I could show you if I had something to show But your history's been bound and gagged And the pattern that's ingrained tells you to Crawl into yourself Safe inside your cage Crawl into yourself Safe inside your cage Crawl into yourself Safe inside your cage

Get the sinking feeling You're behind my head again And the more I weed, the more it grows And here I am, hung by my toes The time spent set in cement Spent wasting my time When I could have been pulling it down It's my release It's my release It's my release Held down, entangled It's a web of my own making This desolation shaking me apart Build it up, paste it up, stick it up Stuck up, fucked, such a shame My defences have become my own restrictions It's my release It's my release It's my release My love Talk to me It's a bone orchard You cast a shadow An my heart It's a bone orchard My love Talk to me It's a bone orchard You cast a shadow An my heart It's a bone orchard

What's yours dad? Beef. Yeah, but what's it called? To join us and help work on god's plan to make the world a better place For our families and future generations Why aren't we be what they be? Where's our sitcom family? Where's the perfect boy or girl? Where's our happy meal? Where is our identity? Your foot is in the door What the hell, we don't care We're safe in our four walls What's happened to our spirit? It's withered, sick and grey Been scared into blind worship I can't see any other way But the problems, they keep arising We're hurt, we're unfulfilled "The peasants are getting restless" We're sick of pushing shit uphill When the substance of this system wears too thin Let's kick it in
