Arctic Rory (Lacherza)
8 feet of red mane.
Irish war machine.
Cold black eyes,
and a blood stained beard.
Parka and a machete,
goulashes for the blood bath,
titanium mittens,
night vision mustache.
Arctic Rory saves the room
Arctic Rory’s coming for you
Arctic Rory saves the room
Ginger baked yeti man
took down the Loch Ness.
Arm wrestled bigfoot,
Ate a chupacabra.
Rides a polar bear.
Clubs baby seals for breakfast,
has laser guided teeth,
pisses napalm.
One Percent (Stracq.)
I’m not even worth one percent
even if I am near perfect
I am still not worth one percent
just a number to the corporate
thrown around back and forth, like a dirty t-shirt
it’s a need to know, when we say jump you just fucking go
I’m not even worth one percent
even if i am near perfect
I am still not worth one percent
just a number to the corporate
name tag disguised as an ID badge, uniform like a dress shirt
internet phone, desk of my own, a cube thats just a hearse
here’s a phone and another phone, an email for your work
just a number a powerless wonder, hostage of corporation
I’m not even worth one percent
even if i am near perfect
I am still not worth one percent
just a number to the corporate
I no longer give a shit when it’s not my turn
every question gets turned around, the lessons I have learned
I’m not even worth one percent
even if I am near perfect
I am still not worth one percent
just a number to the corporate
I’d like to have their 1%
their scraps are twice my 1%
Brutal Experience (Stracq.)
A hacker got into my email account today
he emailed all my contacts and said “Hello, I’m
sorry I didn’t tell you about my trip
I’m currently in Wales, on a short vaca-
tion as I write this what happened today
is unbelievable and now i’m stuck here” and
you’re not safe (4x)
“I got mugged at gunpoint on my way
to the hotel and my money credit cards
phone and other valuables were stolen
thank god they did not take my passport, I
Urgently need your help I just need
$1,200 to sort out my bills” but
you’re not safe (4x)
but that wasn’t me that was some hacker
that got into my email and my Facebook
and he asked all my friends, family
and coworkers to send him money. I
don’t know how this guy got my password
but I realized that I’m not safe and
you’re not safe (4x)
Better Look Here (Lacherza)
You wanna see the modernist? – you better look here
You wanna see the protagonist?
You wanna see a nihilist?
Apathy: might of the request.
Want to feel like yours is the best?
2.5; white picket fence,
No matter how you resist
You wanna be the masochist? – you better look here
you want to be the misogynist?
Do you wanna be filthy rich?
Listen and then express,
Show your hate to the 1 percent.
Disposition in the somberest,
Protest till nothing’s left.
Doesn’t matter what you want to see.
Cause you see what you want to see.
Doesn’t matter what you want to be.
Cause I am what you want me to be.
You wanna see a burning pyre? – you better look here
You wanna live among the dire?
You wanna see a fucking liar?
Live for a cause help the powerless:
The tick tick tick tick of the hours.
Retract the falling pacifist,
Build another gothic tower.
Doesn’t matter what you want to see.
Cause you see what you want to see.
Doesn’t matter what you want to be.
Cause I am what you want me to be.
My voice doesn’t cut the surface of me,
My identity feigns alacrity.
Your homily is not lost on me,
Banality fosters reality
You have yours and I’ll keep mine,
We are just here to pass the time.
If you know what you wanna see,
You know where I will be.
Sliced Bread (Lacherza)
It’s directly from the vein,
All the things you want to say.
Anything to put some meaning
in your Life.
Do you want to believe?
It’s impossible to conceive.
Do you want to believe?
Whoa!
Like Decartes’s ranting model,
And what every business follows,
Cause reason is a tricky father,
It’s hard enough to keep your eyes above water.
Do you want to believe?
it’s so easy to be deceived.
Do you want to believe?
Whoa!
Newton’s law’s gravity,
Einstein’s theory of relativity,
Its all the same don’t you see.
But the question still remains,
Do you want to believe?
It’s impossible to conceive.
Do you want to believe?
Whoa!
The answers aren’t in philosopher’s pen,
or in scientists lab.
It’s perfectly human,
Its easy to comprehend,
Do you want to believe?
it’s so easy to be deceived.
Do you want to believe?
Whoa!
Do you want to believe?
It’s impossible to conceive.
Do you want to believe?
Whoa!
Good Pawns Never Die (Lacherza)
Put on the shirt and tie,
rip it off at 5
10 clams at the corner dive
this night I got to live (but I wont die for you).
Good pawns never die
I’ve come to realize
that good pawns never die I said now
got a lot of debt,
and a lot of sweat,
No endgame in your playground war,
have we been here before? (good enough for me)
I am next nothing (I wont eat your lies)
but that is something (for you I’ll never die)
Are we really living? (I wont eat your lies)
Live life for me.
Live life for me
I live life for me
All The Same (Lacherza)
Dropped my first bomb today.
I just pressed a button;
Should I feel anything?
Is there something wrong?
Saw a man on the street today.
He asked for a dollar.
Should I feel anything?
Is there something wrong?
Absolute indifference,
Absolute injustice,
It’s all the same
On a flowing rapid.
I’m the one who feels the hate.
I’m the one who believes in you.
I’m the one to satiate;
I’m the one who creates you.
You! Are the same as me.
You! Act for me.
You! Are the jury.
You! Are the hangman’s noose.
Absolute indifference,
Absolute injustice,
It’s all the same
On a flowing rapid.
Culture has a faint whisper.
It murmurs in all our ears.
One thousand pebbles don’t
make a monolith.
It’s a metaphysical revolution,
Again passes evolution,
Is our voice completely
of our own volition?
Should I feel anything?
Is there something wrong?
Too Much In The Sun (Lacherza)
Don’t wanna live, waiting to die
could never be, never realized
I am my own ends, try to moralize,
see the burning empathy agonize.
I am the tableau, eyes are frozen.
What is to know? To sleep to dream
sometimes overcome and I vow,
sometimes listen, sometimes bow.
I am the enemy, an empty inside joke.
Ignore duality: it’s about approach.
Fleshy ends to a dull dagger,
the tread of an old tire.
Fear is quick and sometimes sweet.
If I saw hell I would faint?
Fear is quick and sometimes sweet.
If you saw hell, would you faint?
Your pity is not welcome here.
You are not welcome here.
Boxman (Stracq.)
premature miracle immaculate conceived
destined, special, fate is all he sees
one touch on the shoulder brings him back
a leader can’t lead until he knows his way
don’t tell me what i can’t do
he looked into the eye
lift up your eyes and look to the north
pushing buttons, wheels of destiny
all the pain brought him to the now
speaks to the land with his arms held out
Building an Empire (Lacherza)
Had a dream not long ago.
6 billion lights shining as one.
Then a hammer came crashing down,
12 billion pieces, 12 billion lights
It burns deep, ignorance beaten
packaged and then eradicated.
Free of charlatans, wolves and vultures,
we can see right through them.
Some say our minds are too tall.
We waste our time
Fighting what we cannot see.
We waste our lives.
It’s our own fecundity,
Complete and total efficiency,
Not another fallacy
of my mind and my heart.
The candle has flickered out,
Minority usurps new majority
If you’re able to please lead me
until then I will be here.
Some say our minds are too tall.
We waste our time
Fighting what we cannot see.
We waste our lives.
Building an empire we will never see,
Building an empire based only on me.
Number One (Stracq.)
thought i found number one
but i guess i was only fourteen
when they finally ended three
i gave away all the repeats
then one became four
i found out what to look for
it was right in front of me
i realized what was missing
look out for number one, number one, one
now i’m on twenty eight
and i feel like i’ve started too late
but i still have time
to do anything that is on mind
all these ones that come and go
but there’s one never changing
always passing through time
i realized one is i
look out for number one, number one, one
New Slaves (Lacherza)
New slaves, same old masters,
We grow, they’re the same old bastards.
New slaves, same old masters,
Same shit, just a little faster.
They say new progress for you,
Computer revolution, Internet 2,
You got a voice and you got a medium?
All you got is a new place to stick your thumb.
21st century world at your fingertips,
But you never leave the office,
Your grandfather used to sew the land,
Now you sew the market,
New slaves, same old masters,
We grow, they’re the same old bastards.
New slaves, same old masters,
Same shit, just a little faster.
Either way you’re still the same,
Big pie at the top,
Rest trickles down to the bottom,
Eat your shit sandwich.
No more whips and chains,
But we still work pretty cheap,
American Dream, a place to sleep,
And a chance to win the lottery.
New slaves, same old masters,
We grow, they’re the same old bastards.
New slaves, same old masters,
Same shit, just a little faster.
Faceless, one percent elite own
Billions that they don’t need,
Only reason they keep it,
To keep their loafer on you.
The strongest chains you’ll ever see,
Are the ones you are wearing.
Just because you have a nice house,
Don’t mean you are free.
Yea, yea yea-
Turn it off.
Yea yea yea-
There’s nothing you can do.
The Letter (Stracq.)
I mailed the letter today
wishing it didn’t have to be
I’ve been floating around for 6 days
hoping that it’s just a dream
and it takes everything in me
just to hold back my tears
there’s nothing else left to help me
pick up the pieces you left
when you told me you didn’t love me
my life turned into a mess
and I’m beginning to run out of steam
’cause it takes so much conviction
to mend the broken heart that you left
our picture still hangs on the wall
reminding me of how sweet
it kills me to walk through the bedroom
I can still smell your hair on the sheets
and every time I look behind me
there’s memories of you and me
I can’t believe this is ending
I can’t even speak
it’s so hard to say goodbye
goodbye.
