I've always felt I was outta step with the times, told to follow rules/fall in line, I paid no mind
I never gave a fuck I made my own way, turned my back on society never looked the other way
We don't care about the things that you own
We don't care who you claim to know
For the outcasts, the misfits, a place to belong, untied and strong, we found our salvation in song
Chorus:
Forever and always, out of step with the times
Pushing onward, against the grain till we die
Forever and always, out of step with the times
Pushing onward, against the grain is all that we know
You can't let this world tear you apart
Poison your soul, try and steal your heart
Drag down and destroy everything you enjoy, everything you believe, every dream you've achieved
Every thought, every action, every independent choice
Powers that be slowly robbing your voice
and you're all just sheep, asleep in in a dream, the mainstream schemes, nothing here is what it seems
Chorus:
Forever and always, out of step with the times
Pushing onward, against the grain till we die
Forever and always, out of step with the times
Pushing onward, against the grain is all that we know
(Against the grain till we die)
(Stay outta step with the times)
Forever forsake the empty and fake, this fucking plastic world
(Against the grain till we die)
Forever forsake the empty and fake, I'll stay,
(Stay outta step with the times)

Drowning In Apathy
02:01
|
|||
I look around, and all that I see, the violent downfall of our
humanity
We're a sickness, we're a plauge, we're a curse,
And every passing day it's getting worse and fucking worse
Chorus:
We're on a path to destruction,
One foot in an early grave,
All aboard an empty promise,
A sinking ship, with no one to save
You've got no one to save
No one gives, a fuck about each other anymore anymore, we ignore whats outside our door,
It's always, someone elses problem till you've got em,
Than no one gives a fuck about you
Chorus:
We're on a path to destruction,
One foot in an early grave,
All aboard an empty promise,
A sinking ship, with no one to save
We've drowned, in apathy, self pity and self loathing
Enough is enough, I wont have it, stand up and fight for yourself
Enough is enough, I wont have it, stand up and fight for yourself
Before its too late, stand for something
Stand up and fight for yourself

The false idols are starting to rust,
I turn my back, I'm filled with disgust, no trust in what you say, we've always hated you anyway
We've always hated you anyway
A puppet of a dead industry, that's all you'll be, to me
You've made no mark on this world,
You'll come and go with the rest,
Your 15 minutes of fame
You're all the same, all the same
Chorus:
I see through
All that you do, every time, every line, is a fucking lie
You've sold your soul at the drop of a dime, a dime a dozen without reason or rhyme
No time for dishonesty,
Your music says nothing to me
Your music says nothing to me
But superficiality, not based in reality
more to life than the things that you've got
you try to be something you're not
shallow songs about money and girls
I'm here, to destroy your world
Chorus:
I see through
All that you do, every time, every line, is a fucking lie
You're a lie
You're superficial, shallow and fake,
You mean nothing at the end of the day,
A fucking empty hollow shell of a man, I will fight against you, hard as I can
You're superficial, shallow and fake,
You mean nothing at the end of the day,
A fucking empty hollow shell of a man, I will fight against you, hard as I can

To The Wolves
01:23
|
|||
I'll stay committed forever, forever true
Resilient, I'm nothing like you
A raised middle finger in the face of oppression,
No time for regression, our time is now
Chorus:
Throw me to the wolves
I will come right back
Throw me to the wolves, and I will come right back
Leading the pack
Nothing to lose and nothing to hide
I'll stand with pride with those cast aside,
No Gods no masters, no slave to a clock
Life to the fullest with all that you've got
Chorus:
Throw me to the wolves
I will come right back
Throw me to the wolves, and I will come right back
Ill come right back, leading the pack
I've made this far on my own,
Learned lessons the hard way, all that I've known
I've been beat down, shut down, broke down, shot down
Still I wont give up
Throw me to the wolves

Something To Believe In
02:28
|
|||
When the chips were down,
When the lights went out
You were there, you were there for me
In this cold fucking world at the end of my rope,
I found family
Chorus:
And so I say,
To all of you,
You are the reason,
That I'm here, and I'm alive,
You gave me,
Something to believe in
Every single day, got that PMA, been through hell and back, now I'm here to say
To all of you, for staying true, this is my thank you
No longer down and out,
No longer cast aside,
I have pride, from inside
To all my friends I have your back, and there's no turning back, were in this till the end
Chorus:
And so I say,
To all of you,
You are the reason,
That I'm here, and I'm alive,
You gave me,
Something to believe in
Every single day, got that PMA, been through hell and back, now I'm here to say
To all of you, for staying true,
It means more than you know
Times are hard, but you will last,
Don't let your future be destroyed by your past,
Stick together, hold on to your friends
And fight this world till the better end
Until the bitter end
When the chips were down,
When the lights went out
You were there, you were there for me
In this cold fucking world at the end of my rope,
the end of my rope,
the end of my rope,
I found family

All Bridges Burned
03:25
|
|||
I've fucking had it with the fake set of friends
For using people as a means to an end
There's nothing real, about the way that you are, and the way that you live will only get you so far
I cant stand
the way you operate, taking from others, till there's nothing left for you but hate
You live your life without any heart, is it really any wonder it's falling apart
Chorus:
I'm calling you out
You fake
You're gonna learn, the tables have turned, all bridges have burned and I'm done
Time and time, again I've been let down
Looking for a handout, the only time that you're around
And then you're gone till you're in need again, never really a friend, never really a friend
Where were you, where were you
when I was down and out
The tables turned, I learned what you were all about
A piece of shit with no loyalty,
You were once family, now you're nothing to me
Chorus:
I'm calling you out
You fake
You're gonna learn, the tables have turned, all bridges have burned and I'm done playing your game
You have no loyalty once family, now youre nothing to me
Chorus:
I'm calling you out
You fake
You're gonna learn the tables have turned all bridges have burned and I'm done playing your game

Won't Fit The Mold
02:25
|
|||
How can you claim that you know,
Which way to go
You're just as lost as me
One life one shot, all that you got
Take, take
Take all insecurity, you push on to me
Fuck off, I wont be guilted
Into fitting a mold, to do as I'm told
I live my life for me
Chorus :
My friends and family, I would never betray
Never betray
No matter what you will say
I've always stayed
I've always stayed
loyal to them and never forgotten
And through it all,
And through it all
Respected, time tested, to never be rejected
I respect what it takes for you to get by, with no question why
so extend to me the same courtesy instead you just cant be
live and live and leave well enough alone
live and live and leave well enough alone
I wont fit a mold or do what I'm told,
I live my life for me
Chorus :
My friends and family, I would never betray
Never betray
No matter what you will say
I've always stayed
I've always stayed
loyal to them and never forgotten
And through it all,
And through it all
Respected, time tested, to never be rejected
I won't fit your mold, I won't fit your mold
I live life for me, I live life for me
I won't fit your mold, I won't fit your mold
There won't come a day, where I'll betray
Won't be bought and sold, won't do as I'm told
I live my life for me

Life By Your Own Rules
02:07
|
|||
I woke up in disbelief to the dawn of a different day
They pulled the rug out from under our feet, and they did it so subtly
More, more, more, more, gimme some more, I said I gotta live, the American dream
Keep the sheep all pacified and you can get away, with anything
Chorus:
But me, and you
wont let em tell us what to do
not me, no way
wont stand for that today
live life by your own rules reject the status quo
following your heart the only thing I know
HEY, HEY, HEY!
Have we really been so deceived
Do they really believe, we're that fucking naive
Living life without a care, so unaware we're so unaware
Lies, lies, lies, lies, open up your eyes,
No concern of theirs if everyone of us dies
If this comes as a surprise, you haven't been paying attention
Chorus:
But me, and you
wont let em tell us what to do
not me, no way
wont stand for that today
live life by your own rules reject the status quo
following your heart the only thing I know
They'll sell you out like it isn't a crime
These corporations aren't taking their time
To send us all to an early death
How will they profit, if there's none of us left?
They'll sell you out like it isn't a crime
These corporations aren't taking their time
To send us all to an early death
How will they profit, if there's none of us left?

Find Your Release
03:18
|
|||
With every breath, we're closer to death
So make the most of this moment like it's all you've got left
We're only here for a moment in time,
live hard no regrets till the day that you die (x2)
Everyone has their cross to bear, True
Everyone has their battles to fight through
Some of us aren't gonna make it out at all,
While those around me fall, I'm here standing tall
Find in your heart what it takes to survive,
Overcome addiction, ignore suicide
You gotta reach inside find some inner pride
And find some inner peace,
Find your release
Find your release
Chorus:
With every breath, we're closer to death
So make the most of this moment like it's all you've got left
We're only here for a moment in time,
Live hard no regrets till the day that you die
If you feel like your backs to the wall
Drowning in debt,
A life of regret,
A life of despair,
That nobody cares
It's never too late
Change your fate
This is your shot don't let it pass you by
You never know how long you got till you die
Seize the moment don't live in the past
And live everyday like it might be your last
Like its your last
You gotta find,
Your release
This daily grind is going to kick in your teeth
Persevere
Overcome
Swing for the fences until your time comes
Everyone has their cross to bear, True
Everyone has their battles to fight through
Some of us aren't gonna make it out at all,
While those around me fall, I'm here standing tall
Find in your heart what it takes to survive,
Overcome addiction, ignore suicide
You gotta reach inside find some inner pride
And find some inner peace,
Find your release
Find your release
Chorus:
With every breath, we're closer to death
So make the most of this moment like it's all you've got left
We're only here for a moment in time,
live hard no regrets till the day that you die
No regrets till the day that you die
Find your release

They Want Us Gone
02:35
|
|||
So much pollution, so much distortion
so much to gain from anothers misfortune
Death follows death as a flash on the screen, the slowly corroding American dream,
People like you and I,
Won't survive on the shrinking check from our 9-5
They're trying to take everything we've earned, and we will do nothing is what they've learned
That's what they've learned
Chorus:
Right Now we gotta get it all together
Somehow and fight against those who try
Bring us down
Ill spit venom in the face of our oppressors,
the aggressors and those who want us gone
They want us gone
Its time to let 'em know,
Its time to overthrow
Every corporate politician fucking us has gotta go
Fuck Monsanto, fuck that GMO
Pesticide, worldwide, in our food the poison grows
Politics, make me sick
Killing the environment and getting away with it
Strip mining, fracking, we gotta send 'em packing,
Before its too late, before its too late
We'll shut em down
Chorus:
Right Now we gotta get it all together
Somehow and fight against those who try
Bring us down
Ill spit venom in the face of our oppressors,
the aggressors and those who want us gone
They don't give a fuck about us, they don't care
They want us gone
